It was already the second half of the night when I returned to Laojunguan.

Su Ren and Leng Jun carried a child from Huo Laosi's family and walked into the gate of Lao Junguan. The two children had long since fallen asleep, their clothes soaked with drool, and their backs were sticky.

Leng Yue has already slept. This heartless girl, her senior brother and Su Ren went out for two days and didn't come back, but she could still sleep. Su Ren rushed into Leng Yue's room, slapped Leng Yue's buttocks fiercely, woke Leng Yue up, and helped Huo Qian to boil water. After a day of running, I always have to wash happily to sleep peacefully.

was slapped on the ass by Su Ren, and Leng Yue's face was as red as a monkey's ass. When he saw Su Ren again, he didn't dare to raise his head. Taoist marriage is not a big deal, according to Su Ren's guess, this cold and cold moon may be the children of Chong Xu's old Tao, but their mother doesn't know where it is, maybe she runs away or dies. In short, Leng Jun Leng Yue didn't mention it, so Su Ren didn't ask.

I washed my face comfortably and soaked my feet again. Huo Laosi went back to sleep, but Leng Yue didn't come out. There were only two people left in the room, Su Ren and Leng Jun. The feet of the two people were placed in the steaming wooden basin, lying on their backs one by one, not to mention how comfortable they felt, so they sent two little girls who pinched their feet.

Leng Jun asked, "Brother Su, can you tell me your true origin now?" This month, I feel like I can't see through you more and more, and you make me scared. ”

"Scared? I can't beat you, what are you afraid of? ”

"It's not a question of whether you can fight or not." Leng Jun sat up suddenly: "I'm worried that you will sell me one day, and I will happily help you count the money, which is a bad feeling." ”

"Don't worry, I won't sell you! You're my savior. ”

Su Ren said two words, got up and wiped his feet, went out with a wooden basin, and never came back.

The next day it was time for them to work. Su Ren was still the same as usual, and he didn't get up too early. Leng Jun was practicing on the cliff of the back mountain, and Huo Laosi was sweeping the yard with a broom. Leng Yue and Huo Qian were preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and Huo Laosi's two children were playing in the yard. The two little men were delighted, running around with the bread they had stolen from the kitchen in their hands.

Huo Laosi had a satisfied smile on his face, and when he saw Su Ren coming out, he hurriedly put down his broom, went to the well to fetch a bucket of water, poured it into a wooden basin and put it in front of Su Ren: "Childe, you are up!" Today is a good day, Hujiagou is a small set today, we can bring salt to sell in the past, our salt is so good that we will not worry about sales. ”

Su Ren said while washing his face: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry to do business, with how you and I sell salt, even if we sell it in a hurry, it won't become a climate, you are familiar with the land here, think about who else can be pulled in, we are looking for people in the past half a month, what is the most expensive in the 21st century, talent!" ”

Although Huo Laosi didn't understand the last sentence, he still nodded: "It's still the son's thoughtfulness, we do need some manpower, this really has to be summed up." ”

Huo Laosi knows a lot of people. According to Huo Laosi's analysis, if you want to sell salt in warm water, you have to have at least four people. He Huo Laosi is counted as one, his territory is in the east of the city, although there are only ten villages assigned, in fact, the excess salt will also expand outward a little, he is more familiar with the ground in the east of the city, and there is no problem in the east. The other three sides are a little rusty.

After breakfast, the two went straight to the soaphorn ridge in the north of the city. After walking all morning, sweating profusely, I finally arrived. Compared to their old monarch's view, this place is more quiet, and you can see a huge soaphorn tree standing there on the mountain beam from a distance. It is a small village, with only a dozen families, and the houses are built on a relatively flat part of the hill.

Coming to the door of a family, Huo Laosi hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door. This family is the person Huo Laosi thinks can be used in the north of the city. This person's surname is Liu Mingping, and he is still the pavilion chief here. Who would have thought that the chief of the Ten Mile Pavilion would also sell smuggled salt. Black and white have been mixed together since ancient times, and it seems to be true at all.

Liu Ping happened to be at home, and when he saw Huo Laosi's face, he immediately looked wrong, glanced twice at the road behind Huo Laosi, and hurriedly pulled Huo Laosi and Su Ren closer to the house: "Fourth brother, why do you dare to come to me?" ”

Huo Laosi smiled: "What are you afraid of, this is my son-in-law, I came to you today to give you a fortune." ”

Liu Ping looked at Su Ren and sneered: "Don't say anything rich, the boss has already let it go, if you dare to sell salt, you will never have a good life." ”

Su Ren said: "We are selling official salt, and he can still manage it as a person who sells private salt." He took out the salt certificate from his cuff, shook it twice in front of Liu Ping's eyes, and immediately picked it up again: "This is the salt certificate issued by the county lord himself, and today's warm water is no longer the era of only one official salt." ”

"Really?" Liu Ping didn't seem to believe it, the person in front of him was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was still a child in his eyes.

Huo Laosi nodded: "Of course it's true!" What my son-in-law said is true, I came today to hope that my brother can follow us to do it, my son-in-law said, in the future, his salt will be sold by you in the north of the city, just give him three dollars per catty, and the rest is yours. ”

"Three money?" Liu Ping's face was a little hesitant, and he pulled Laho Laosi's arm, and the two of them turned their backs on Su Ren and began to mumble. Su Ren didn't care, turned his head to look at Liu Ping's house, there was not much difference from Huo Laosi's family, it was just a few more bags of grain, which might be the benefit of the pavilion chief.

The two muttered for a long time, and Huo Laosi showed Liu Ping the salt they brought, and Liu Ping agreed.

After getting Liu Ping, I went to the west of the city and the south of the city to find people who knew each other, and they were all smugglers before. Under the strong lure of interests, they also negotiated smoothly. These two people, one is Cui Jiu, a tenant in the west of the city, and the other is Peng You, a farmer in the south of the city.

After a day of traveling, I returned to Laojunguan just in time for dinner. The round table built by Leng Jun has been placed in the back room of Lao Junguan, and on the table, Leng Jun caught a hare at noon and got a plate of wild vegetables. Leng Yue and Huo Qianshi steamed a pot of steamed buns, and each of them shared a bowl of sticky rice porridge. Although it is simple, it is also rich in meat and vegetarian combinations.

Su Ren tasted a bite of rabbit meat, and it tasted bad: "Good things have been ruined by you, what kind of meat is this, it is pig food." ”

I picked up the plate and went back to the kitchen, but I didn't find any seasoning for a long time. After thinking about it carefully, I went into the herbal medicine room of Chongxu Laodao, rummaged for a long time, and found some spicy medicines such as star anise, cinnamon, and fennel, and then returned the rabbit meat to the pot again.

Leng Yue and Huo Qian didn't know what Su Ren was going to do, how to make rabbit meat and go to the pharmacy to find something. Su Ren called the two into the kitchen, and said to the two while cooking: "This meat is fishy, you must use these spicy things to make seasonings, but unfortunately there are no seasonings, only these are the ones for the time being, make do with them." ”

The big ingredients were not crushed, but I found a clean linen cloth and wrapped it, threw it into the pot, and began to stew. Under the surprised gazes of the two, Su Ren simmered slowly over low heat. Soon, the fragrance wafted in the kitchen: "Learn it, it will be a craft in the future, and it will not be difficult to go out and open a restaurant, at least you will not starve to death." ”

After waiting for a stick of incense, Su Ren opened the lid of the pot, and after the strong meat aroma and the smell of various spices were mixed, it was indeed much more comfortable than smelling just now.

Su Ren took out a piece, tasted it, and shook his head: "Hey! It still tastes wrong, there are too many things missing, and I can finally make do with it. "Green onions, garlic sprouts and other things don't have at all, and a little ginger is difficult to bring out the taste of meat, and it is far from my imagination.

Leng Yue and Huo Qian have been psychedelict by the scent. As a woman, the two of them have been cooking for so many years, and they have never smelled such a fragrant smell.

Leng Yue looked at Su Ren: "You even have this cheap servant?" ”

"What's so cheap about this, since you want to eat, you have to do it, is it possible to starve to death and not do it?"

Leng Yue shook her head: "But you are much better than us, and it is estimated that those chefs in the county town do not have this skill." ”

"They certainly don't have it." Su Ren was complacent, no one had ever praised himself so much when he was at home, and today he finally raised his eyebrows: "It's a pity that the seasoning is not enough, if there are peppers, potatoes, and carrots stewed together, this stewed rabbit meat will be perfect." ”

Watching Su Ren go out with rabbit meat, Huo Qian and Leng Yue glanced at each other. Huo Qian shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law, you have to be careful in the future, our son-in-law is a stubborn person, if you don't serve well, it is possible for you to take a break." ”

Leng Yue nodded. suddenly understood, and his face immediately turned red: "Who said that I was going to marry him, I think it is beautiful." ”

Huo Qian laughed.

During the meal, Su Ren, Leng Jun, and Leng Yue sat at the table. Huo Laosi and Huo Qian didn't come, the two children lay on the side of the door and took a look, and they were immediately pulled out by Huo Laosi and slapped the two little guys on the buttocks a few times.

Su Ren yelled: "What are you doing beating the child, come in!" ”

Huo Laosi came in with a bowl: "Childe, we are subordinates, and we can't be served according to the rules." ”

", what kind of subordinate, go and call your wife and children in, isn't it just eating, it's refreshing for the family to sit together, I have the final say if the rules are unruly, and my words are the rules from today on."

"But Childe, this is not in accordance with the etiquette!"

"Are you going or not? If you don't go, get out now, follow me, my words are rules, and etiquette! ”

Huo Laosi hurriedly went out and brought Huo Qian and the two children in, threw down his rice bowl and kowtowed on the ground, and then sat at the table tremblingly. The first time I used the table, I felt comfortable.

Su Ren picked out two large pieces of rabbit meat, put one piece in each child's bowl, and said a few jokes to the two children, and then began to eat.

This small move is nothing in Su Ren's opinion, but Huo Laosi is already in tears. Not for anything else, the master I recognize has no shelf, I don't say it, and I don't treat myself as a slave to see that he is already burning high incense. Now let himself be served on the table again, and give meat to his children, such a master, even if it is worth dying. Huo Laosi secretly decided that this master would follow him for a lifetime.

Leng Jun muttered in his heart, this kid's ability to win people's hearts is really not covered. Three-eyed and two-worded, this Huo Laosi has already lost his heart.
