"This is a cucumber? It's cucumber. Cheng Lingxiang, the county commander, saw the six cucumbers in front of him, raised his head in confusion and asked Song Jinggong, he didn't understand what Song Jinggong meant by running in a hurry to deliver cucumbers to himself? Could it be related to the murder, the evidence?

"The adults are really amazing, they can recognize this as a cucumber at a glance, yes, adults taste it and see if it tastes delicious." Song Jinggong thought that the county magistrate was frightened, and pointed to the cucumber for him to taste.

"I've eaten a lot in this county, so Zijin should take it back and eat it himself." Cheng Lingxiang looked at the cucumber carefully a few times, but he didn't find anything in it, so he was unhappy.

Song Jinggong understood this time, it turned out that Cheng Lingxiang didn't think about what time it was, just waiting for himself to give him benefits, cucumbers have always been worthless, thinking of this, Song Jinggong was not angry, and smiled slightly.

"What the adults said is that when the students go back, they get some hot sauce, warm some wine, and drink with cucumbers while enjoying the snow outside, which is really a great enjoyment of life."

As he spoke, Song Jinggong was about to get up, and Cheng Lingxiang was also thinking about that kind of scenery, but he always felt that there was something wrong with that place, until Song Jinggong said his farewell, he reacted, and hurriedly shouted: "Slow, Zijin, where did you get fresh cucumbers in this winter?" ”

After asking this sentence, Cheng Lingxiang looked at the cucumber with a different gaze, the thorns on it were also beautiful, the flowers were also beautiful, green and shiny, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he put his head on it and sniffed it gently, and a unique fragrance of cucumber came into his nose, which was extremely comfortable.

Song Jinggong didn't rush to answer when he saw the county order's actions, so he just watched.

Cheng Lingxiang looked at it for a while, and then stretched out his hand to touch it, the cucumber has been kept warm, neither cold nor hot, at this time, the six cucumbers are no longer cucumbers in Cheng Lingxiang's eyes, but silver, six ingots of silver are neatly placed there, green, almost the same thickness, straight, this silver is good-looking.

"My lord, how is it that it is quite comfortable to eat this cucumber in winter?" Song Jinggong asked at the right time.

Cheng Lingxiang nodded his head twice, "Okay, good thing, Zijin bothered, I didn't expect the snow to fall, and I can still eat fresh cucumbers, I wonder if Zijin will find these six?" ”

In an instant, Cheng Xianling thought of a lot of things, if he gave this cucumber to the above, then the cucumber would definitely accept his own good, but he didn't know how many cucumbers there were.

"The students don't know if the adults want to eat, so they brought six sticks this time, and if the adults think it's okay, the students will send more when they go back, which is enough for the adults to eat for a winter." Song Jinggong actually brought a lot this time, and he was ready to sell it, so he said it deliberately.

"Where did the cucumbers come from? Eat it for a winter, could there be a way to keep the summer cucumbers until now? "Cheng County Ling is the most curious about this.

Song Jinggong shook his head slightly, and replied: "There is no recipe, the cucumbers in summer can only be picked for twenty days at most, and they can't be topped with thorns, cucumbers are planted, two months ago, planted by the man on the Zhuangzi, and they are just ready to eat today." ”

Cheng Xianling was originally sitting there steadily, and when he heard that it was planted, he stood up at once, staring closely at Song Jinggong's eyes, wanting to know if he was lying, seeing that Song Jinggong's eyes were clear, he did not evade it at all, knowing that it might probably be true.

"Tell me about it, how are cucumbers grown? Is there a master? Good skills, if you teach the people of Datang the method, won't they be able to eat fresh cucumbers in winter? What's more, this cucumber is here and there is the northern land, and it will not occupy other land in winter, and the people will have an extra income for nothing.

Great merit, this is a great merit, Zijin, the person on your Zhuangzi will definitely be rewarded, so that tomorrow Jin will go back, and when that person is brought, the official will be on the table. ”

Cheng Xianling didn't sit back after standing up, he paced there with his hands behind his back, talking as he walked, not noticing Song Jinggong's helpless look at all, and after a while, he saw that Song Jinggong didn't make a sound, so he stopped and looked at the past.

Song Jinggong smiled bitterly, "My lord, people also want to make money, so many people need to feed them, that person is good to the villagers, today each farmer has given a lot of things for nothing, and I am afraid that the heavy snow will crush the house, so I specially paid for the repair of the house, Pankang."

Adults also know how much this cucumber is worth in the winter, Zhuangzi is waiting for those cucumbers to sell for good money, adults let students say it, students don't dare, provoke that person, even if the student runs to the ends of the earth, it is useless, adults, you may not know that person's means, students have already understood. ”

"Ugh! Yes, this cucumber is not expensive to sell for ten cents, naturally there will be the rich in the family to buy, not to mention that the New Year is approaching, can eat a cool and comfortable cucumber on Chinese New Year's Eve, that mood must be different. ”

Cheng County ordered Song Jinggong to say, and also understood, who wants to tell others this kind of recipe? Since you can grow it, you will definitely eat it for several months in a row, how much money can you make in winter? It's scary to think about.

But if you don't take out this thing, it's not easy to be targeted, you can know the value of cucumbers in winter, and other people are not stupid, so it's good to provoke more powerful people.

Cheng Lingxiang considered this kind of thing, sat down slowly, looked at Song Jinggong again, and finally opened his mouth to admonish: "Zijin, this cucumber is not easy to do, it is easy to attract death, why didn't you think of this as a master in Zhuangzi?" As long as you sell it, then someone will know, if you really don't want to come up with a prescription, I shouldn't have seen it today. ”

"Your Excellency is really a good official, and you can think about the people under your rule, don't worry, before you come, the man told the student, if the adult says so, then say how to deal with it, if the adult wants to show merit, then the student will go back immediately and hoe the cucumbers."

Song Jinggong only had one feeling for the little boy in his heart, and the mountains looked up.

"Oh? Is that also counted? How? "Cheng Xianling is also scared, is this still human? One step at a time.

"Back to the adult, that method is not difficult, is to transport the cucumbers to this side, let the adults help sell, adults do not worry, if someone asks, the adults can be said to be auspicious from the sky, there are cucumber seedlings on the Zhuangzi and bear new fruits.

At this time, it is almost the New Year, no one will inquire carefully at this time, and when the year passes, the money is almost earned, Zhuangzi will not continue to sell again, but give some to adults, let adults send to other people, if someone checks, they must ask adults where Zhuangzi is, and then the cucumber seedlings will naturally be killed. ”

Song Jinggong said the method, in fact, there is another point they said, it can also be said that he lied, Zhang Xiaobao told him this, there is another point, if this county order does not warn him, he will go back immediately, collect all the cucumbers this time, shovel the other cucumbers, and transport the collected cucumbers far away, and sell them elsewhere with other identities, and still make a lot of money.

This is not what makes Song Jinggong feel the most, but the little boy said at the time that the county order will help him think about things to a large extent, and the other hand is just to prepare just in case.

Of course, Song Jinggong didn't know how much psychology the little boy had studied, and he deduced the character of the county order from his several contacts with the county order, and only thought that the little boy could pinch and calculate.

Cheng Lingxiang, the county magistrate, sighed, the person on the Zhuangzi couldn't make any more evaluations, this was not only selling the cucumber, but also giving himself a credit, Xiangrui, there are cucumbers as a witness, people have to believe it, saying that they let themselves give it to others, who can they send it to?

It is impossible for him to refuse such a good thing, he will be promoted, as soon as Xiangrui comes out, no matter what he thinks, he must follow the performance, and then his future will be there.

Thinking of this, Cheng County Ling said: "It's okay, take advantage of the New Year, pick more cucumbers, and when it is close to the first two days of the Chinese New Year, I will sell them, Zijin hasn't eaten yet, right?" It just so happened that three cucumbers were used to make two dishes, and Zijin and I tasted them together. ”

Cheng County's order is no longer cherished, since there are still them, he will not send a few cucumbers from his family, eat three first, and send the other three to the back, so that the family can also taste them.

Song Jinggong didn't rush to leave this time, and happily obeyed.

******

The cold wind blew from time to time, and even so, it didn't make the people in the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang feel good.

The old cow of Chen Hao's family was killed, and one of the several cows that Zhang Xiaobao asked people to buy back some time ago was also killed, this cow really had to be killed, and as soon as he died in Chen Hao's house, he fell into the ditch and broke his leg.

As soon as the two cows are killed, there will be more meat, Zhang Xiaobao discussed with Wang Juan, and let the two people from the Zhuangzi eat together, which can be regarded as promoting the good of the master's family.

In nature, you can't just eat beef, the meat of two cows is really not enough, not to mention that you have to leave some for the New Year to eat, so you have to add some big radish, make a few large pots of beef stewed radish, beckon the people on the Zhuangzi to eat together, make a nest of millet noodles, and then get a few pickles, just a light stew, hot to eat, in this winter is also good.

In this way, there is no need for two cows, one cow is not counted as a mess such as hoof tendons, tendons, tendons, etc., only meat is enough, and then put some butter, and a pot of stew will not use too much beef.

The dealer does not pick, it is good to have food, the aroma in a few mouthfuls of the cauldron wafted out early before the meat is cooked, the adults are better, they can hold back, the little baby swallows saliva anxiously while sucking the snot, there is the bold, and even go to the pot to see.

In order not to let everyone freeze, a few fires were built in the open space outside, and the two villagers gathered around them or talked or laughed until the meat was ready, and then they got up to help with the work.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also rushed over at this time to have a meal with everyone, Wang Juan also took a handful of dry coriander in his hand, and Zhang Xiaobao was holding hot sauce by himself.
