Chapter 26: Xue Wu
The man called himself Xue Wu, and he stuck to Li Xiao like a dog skin plaster.
Li Xiao returned to Lanxi, and he had to follow, saying that he was just idle and bored, so he regarded it as a horse for a walk. When encountering this kind of idle and boring person, Li Xiao can't help it.
I can't drive it away, and I can't afford to offend it.
Xue is in his fifties and thirties, and he is very familiar with calling Li Xiao his brother.
"Third brother!"
"Fifth brother!"
The two call each other brothers, and those who don't know really think that the two are good brothers who marry Jinlan, but Li Xiao knows that he is afraid that he has met an idle and idle Chang'an gentleman, and he has nothing to do with himself.
How does the name Xue Wu look like it doesn't look like a real name, the surname Xue may be true, the surname Xue is ranked five, Xue Wulang, this kind of name is very common, but it is just a name between acquaintances.
surnamed Xue, there are many nobles surnamed Xue in Chang'an City, especially the Hedong Xue family, which can be regarded as a member of the Guanlong aristocratic group. However, there are many nobles surnamed Xue, and he can't be sure which one this Xue Wu belongs to.
I couldn't shake it off, so I could only take it back to Lanxi with me.
Along the way, Li Xiao chatted with him quite well.
Halfway through, Xue Wu stopped drinking horses. His horse is a good horse, and a good horse is delicate, not only eats well, but also eats a lot. In the winter, his horse actually ate bean cakes, carrots and eggs, which was better than the people in Lijiazhuang.
"Master, why are we following this Li San?"
"I think this Li San is very interesting, originally I was just idle and bored to go out today, who expected to meet this person, arouse some curiosity in me. I was going to tease him, but when I talked to him along the way, I unexpectedly found that this person was a little unsimple. ”
"It's not simple, I think it's just an ordinary person, with no identity."
"What about ordinary people, but this person has knowledge, I can be regarded as having traveled the world, it can be said that in Chang'an City, those children of Li San's age in the families of famous nobles may not all have this person's knowledge."
These words surprised several of the entourage, and the fifth son of his own family was extremely praised by the head of the family, saying that he was the pillar of the Xue family. If he can praise a passerby like this, then this person is really not simple.
"Master, do we really want to follow him?"
"Well, originally I was just going to Shangluo, so I made fun of this person on the way. But now I'm not in a hurry to go to Shangluo, let's take a look. ”
"Oh, I want to see if this person is lying, and I guess this person can't get the kind of frosting he said?"
Xue Wu shook his head, he looked at Li Xiao who was drinking horses in the distance, "I have just returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, and I have never heard of any new sugar making methods in Jiangnan before, which can make whiter frosted sugar, or even rock sugar." But I'm not sure that this person is lying, I can't see through this person, so I'll go with him first and see. ”
"Master, don't delay the business."
"It's not a big deal to go to Shang Luoben, and it doesn't hurt to put it off for a few days."
"Master, what if this person is lying?"
"Are you lying?" Xue Wushu smiled, "That's just a verification of a liar." ”
"What if he could really come up with whiter frost?"
"That's interesting." Xue Wu didn't say what to do, but his eyes were very attentive.
After drinking and continuing on the road, Xue Wu and Li Xiao walked side by side, deliberately talking with Li Xiao along the way, the topic changed from time to time, and sometimes even deliberately mentioned what the court had seen and heard. As a result, the more he chatted, the more surprised he became, and he found that this Li San seemed to be able to pick up any topic.
Even if it is a matter in the court, he can often say a few insightful words, which makes him more and more curious about Li Xiao.
He was sure that Li Xiao was by no means a child of a noble and high-ranking official, because he had deliberately tested him just now and found that although Li Xiao could tell some good opinions about many current affairs in the court, he was not clear about the personnel of the court and China.
This made him sure that Li Xiao would not be the son of a noble official.
Blue Creek.
When Li Xiao came back, Da Biao and the others were still transporting grain, more than 100 stones of grain, enough to load more than a dozen carts, weighing and loading, and also scored two trips.
When he returned, the grain store had just returned for the first trip, and was loading the grain for the last one.
"Xue Wulang."
Li Xiao briefly introduced Da Biao to the few people who followed him.
Xue Wu looked at Da Biao and a few others, then put his eyes on the carts of grain again, and took a few closer looks.
"I just heard San Lang say that your family is a farmer, why do you still buy grain from the grain store? It's so much to buy, and Lantian hasn't been hit by disasters this year? ”
Li Xiao replied simply, "Something happened at home this year, and the grain collected in the field before was repaid for the debt, and now I just have some money in my hand, so I will buy some grain and go home for the winter." ”
In a few simple words, Xue Wu felt that there was a lot of story in it.
In the past, I was in debt, and I used all the grain collected in the field to pay off the debt, but now I have the money to buy so much grain from the grain store.
There's a story in it.
On Lanxi Street, Fugui Restaurant.
Zhang Papi's face was ugly, and Fuchun Restaurant suddenly launched a new dish, or a new dish made with jasper green, which disrupted his wishful thinking.
originally wanted to use the calculation of Jasper Qing to hype and publicize, but he died directly.
What's even more annoying is not that he was robbed of the limelight by Fuchun Restaurant again, but that he was deceived by someone. There is definitely something wrong with that Jasper Qing, he was cheated.
He has never been the only one who pits people, when will anyone dare to pit him, isn't this Tai Sui's head breaking ground and looking for death?
He didn't care about the two Qian Zhang, what he cared about was his face, and someone dared to pit his head.
Outrageous.
The little overlord Zhang Chao was scolded for a dog blood spray, and his face was sprayed by his father, and he didn't even dare to wipe it.
He hadn't seen his father so angry in a long time.
"Find me, even if it goes to heaven and earth, you have to find out that liar for me. If you dare to deceive Lao Tzu, I must make him regret it. ”
"Dad, I'll find someone. Dare to lie to our Zhang family, when I find it, I will break his legs. ”
Zhang Papi gritted his teeth, "Now there are two things to do immediately, first, find out that gang of liars." Second, don't give away the jasper green prepared for Wang Lushi and others. ”
Since even Fuchun Restaurant has jasper green, this thing is not a rare thing, and there is no need to take it out again to be embarrassed.
"Oh, Dad, that Fuchun Restaurant must have bought cucumbers from that gang of liars, damn it."
"There is only this possibility, today Fuchun Restaurant is a big formation, we can't let him be proud, let people post a notice, our Fugui Restaurant also launched a new dish today, the same use of jasper green to cook, we only sell a dish."
Fuchun Restaurant sells a jasper green consistently, and Fugui Restaurant sells for 100 yuan, with a price difference of ten times.
"Dad Gaoming, in this way, everyone has to scold Fuchun Restaurant for being black-hearted, and we have to praise the conscience of our restaurant industry!"
"Don't grind here, don't hurry up and find someone!"
