Chapter 10 Back to the Cross Slope
At this time, people pay attention to reputation and reputation, and if the reputation stinks, the dog will ignore it when walking on the street. Traders like Qin Fatzi pay more attention to word of mouth, and have the testimony of the villagers and neighbors, which is more effective than the judgment of the county lord.
personally handled the first halberd, although the dishes made by both sides were not satisfactory, Cheng Ming still felt that he had gained something.
The matter has settled, and Cheng Ming no longer stays, he bowed his hand to the old man and the old man, and left directly with the people.
Looking at Cheng Ming's back, he said with envy: "Amazing, there are so many Taoists in a bowl of ordinary food, how many delicacies has this kid eaten!" ”
"Boy? Hehe! Not necessarily, this person is dignified, and under the gaze of everyone, he speaks calmly and calmly, which is better than that of ordinary petty officials. Coupled with the understanding of food, it seems that ordinary people can cultivate children. If you want me to say, the next time you see him, you have to add at least one master. ”
Ma Lao stroked his beard and raised his hand to beckon his servant.
"Erde, did you remember what the little boy said just now?"
The servant wondered: "Remember! ”
Ma Lao nodded: "Okay, you go back and explain carefully to the cook, let's also taste the deliciousness of real egg fried rice!" Hey, I've eaten all my life, and it's the first time I've known that there's so much more to say. ”
After speaking, he left with the support of the servant.
Catcher scratched his head and walked away, still grunting, "What's the matter?" What exactly does an old man mean? ”
Fifth sister-in-law Lu had more confidence, and confidently discussed with Qin Fatzi, set a delivery date, and became bright.
When he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly found Zhang Dadao standing next to him.
"Huh? You didn't follow the little boy? ”
Zhang Dadao was expressionless and handed out an object, "My son-in-law said that Lu Wu's sister-in-law is talented, and if she learns to cook seriously, her future will be limitless." This is the sign of my food club, and Childe said that if you want to learn to cook in the future, you can come to Shilipo to find him! ”
Lu Wu's sister-in-law took it and found that it was a small flying eagle, spreading its wings sideways, with its sharp claws flared, very powerful. Turn it over, and there are some patterns on the back, with the words 001 written on it.
The thing is small and exquisite, smooth and fits hands, but she doesn't like it very much.
Just wanted to excuse himself, but when he looked up, he found that Zhang Dadao was gone. looked left and right, but no one was found, and in the end I could only put it away with a puzzle.
"Gourmet meeting? What a quirky name. ”
----
In the evening of the next day, when Cheng Ming led people out of the city gate, Jiang Li was already waiting there early.
There were five more people around him, all dressed as old farmers, and they all carried a lot of things on their bodies, and when they saw Cheng Ming coming from a distance, they looked at it with an inexplicable look.
Seeing Cheng Ming, Jiang Li hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Cheng, look, a total of five people have been found, and they are all good players. Three stonemasons, two carpenters, and thirty or forty people to help, there should be no problem! ”
Cheng Ming looked at a few people and arched his hands with his fists.
When they saw Cheng Ming's figure and bearing, they didn't dare to slack off, and returned the salute one after another.
Jiang Li continued: "After the three months that have been agreed, we will take care of food and housing during the period, and give five taels of silver after the acceptance is satisfied. ”
Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise and nodded.
"Then take care of the snacks, what needs to be prepared early, don't slack off."
Jiang Li hurriedly agreed, his eyes secretly swept the clothes of the four of Zhang Dadao and the package they were carrying, and the smile on his face was even bigger.
Cheng Ming smiled slightly, he is a clever one!
When you come, you hurry up, and when you go back, you slow down.
Fortunately, there were five more people in total, except for Cheng Ming who rode alone, and each of the remaining horses brought another person, set off overnight, crossed the river through the forest, and when it was almost dawn, it was less than thirty miles away from Shilipo.
In the inn, a few guys were playing a haha unloading board, lazily cleaning and preparing to open a store, and saw a fast horse approaching from a distance, thinking that there were guests early in the morning, and they were a little uninterested.
When I saw that it was Cheng Ming, my spirit was much better.
Cheng Ming greeted a few people with a smile, asked Sun Jiuniang, knew that he had disappeared mysteriously, and he didn't think much about taking people directly to the back mountain.
Liu Si led the horse to the stable, and there was a sound in his mouth, "Cheng Xiaozi is shaking now, and I don't know what kind of soup he poured into the boss's wife, and now he is in charge." ”
Qian San followed behind with the hay, and said angrily: "Shut your mouth quickly, let him hear that he is going to clean you up." Lao Xi'er is seriously injured and can't get off now, the shopkeeper can't see anyone, and the proprietress has also gone out, isn't it the chef who is in power, or you can't be in power? ”
"Anyway, I'm just not convinced, I dare to say that in front of him, if he has half a crooked word, I dare to fight with him!"
"That's not called fighting, that's called being beaten, Song Er was killed and laid down without handing out a move. What's more, it's you! ”
Liu Si pursed his lips, sent the horse into the stable, tied the reins, and took the hay in Liu San's hand and spread it in the manger. "You said he went out for three or four days, where did he go? Several people were also brought back. ”
"I don't know where to go, the distance is definitely not close, and I see that these horses are tired, and my breath is uneven."
"Tinkering in the back mountains all day long, not doing business, the proprietress doesn't even talk about him!"
"Do your job, it's useless to think about it!"
Qian San scolded him, and the two turned back to the front hall.
---
A few days later, back mountain.
"Erhan, why are you stunned? Come here and give me a hand! ”
Erhan hurriedly agreed, handed the tool to the master, and looked at the master's digging dovetail groove a little stunned.
He still can't react to what happened in the past two days.
The master and the uncle are two brothers, and he worships under the master with the two brothers, Dalong and Sanpao, to learn some skills to support their families.
They were originally from Laizhou, but because of the severe drought in their homes in the past two years, there was no harvest in the field, and they really couldn't survive. The master took him to Henan, and wanted to defect to a relative in Mengzhou, relying on the relationship to find some odd jobs to survive.
Unexpectedly, when I first arrived in Mengzhou, I was approached by someone and given a big job before I rested.
During the work, he was in charge of food and shelter, and he had money to take when he finished working, but now that he thinks about it, he still can't believe that such a good condition will be met by himself. And it is also in Shandong, although the location is a little biased, but it is indeed Shandong.
He felt that the owner was a little weird, so he hurried overnight not to mention, and he had to build a yard on the hillside, could this be a Yin house? He asked the master yesterday, and he got a big mouth back, so he also knew that he had guessed wrong.
The proprietor was a very strange man, and he had never been seen cooking in the inn, even though he was the cook in the inn.
Now the man who is busy in the room is a guy who works one by one, he doesn't know what this person's name is, he only knows that there is no expression on his face. He has a lot of strength, and he doesn't want to die when he does his job, and he is as capable as a dozen other people.
After coming for five days, the cabin was cleaned up yesterday, and the owner couldn't wait to move in.
Looking at his joyful expression, as if he had finally escaped from the sea of suffering, it was really incomprehensible.
"Erhan, are you still stunned? Hurry up and get to work! ”
Dalong is urging again, isn't he just learning stonemasonry, what's so spirited? The master said that in another three or five months, his carpenter would also be initiated.
Erhan wiped his head and ran over quickly.
Not far from the wooden house, on a specially cleared flat ground, twenty or thirty people were working in full swing.
His uncle led the dragon back and forth, and instructed twenty or thirty people to turn around.
Half of these people work very hard, and the other half know that they are beggars as long as they look at their clothes, and they don't know where Brother Jiang got them.
I didn't see how much they worked, but they didn't eat less.
That is, if I met a kind-hearted owner, if I did, such a person would have been kicked out a long time ago.
Thinking in his heart, Erhan ran over and asked, "Dalong, what are you calling me for?" ”
Dalong said angrily, "How many times have you said it?" Call me Senior Brother! Go and tell those people about the lines, what is the pile of this foundation, crooked, and it won't fall down by itself when you cover the courtyard wall? Do us a favor, you go! ”
Erhan agreed and ran over.
Not far away, Cheng Ming was holding a small teapot, strolling around while talking to Jiang Li beside him.
"People don't have to look for it anymore, I think it should be enough, those beggars don't have two taels of meat on them, they are sick at work, and they eat fiercely and abnormally, it really doesn't mean much. Wait a moment and come to me and get a hundred taels of silver... ”
Jiang Li suddenly smiled, "Eh, there are more masters, more giving, small work is what it should be, how can you ask for so much reward?" ”
Cheng Ming glanced at him, "Think beautifully, this hundred taels of silver is for you to go out to purchase." It's mainly salt and grain, and I guess there will be no shortage of other things in a month or two! ”
Jiang Li's face stiffened.
Cheng Ming continued: "Give you four people, not only to protect your safety, but also to give you helpers, go early and return early." ”
Jiang Li thought for a while: "I'm afraid I have to go to Yanggu County, the nearby counties are all small counties, the population is not large, and there are very few merchants, even if there are salt shops, I am afraid there is not too much volume." Yanggu is relatively close to Qingzhou Mansion, there may be! ”
"It's good! By the way, if I can find a cook who can make chickens, I can get one back too. I worked! ”
"Yes, at your command!"
Cheng Ming waved his hand, and Jiang Li bowed slightly and retreated.
Looking at his distant back, Cheng Ming secretly said in his heart: Sure enough. There is no sense of resistance at all.
He has now discovered that the humans who have been transformed by the lower cells have completely betrayed their original camp, and they will directly join his camp whether they want to or not.
Cheng Ming even felt that his ability was a copy of Super Yuri.
The effect is staggering.
