In the middle of the night, Cheng County ordered everyone to be settled, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, now there is no need to worry about someone making trouble, when the two waiters came this time, they said that they wanted to check some things, but they were very honest, and they didn't say anything at all, and they didn't ask much.

When arranging the rest of those officials in the evening, the two waiters also said that they don't need to worry about it, and that things in the county should take their time, and they already know some things, and they are indeed suffering from the drought, especially the waiters of the Ministry of Works, and they also said that when they return to the capital, they will go to the table and ask for more money here.

With the words of the two waiters, Cheng Xian Ling took a hot bath, and fell asleep under the massage of the subordinates, he must maintain his spirit every day, especially tomorrow morning, he heard Zhou Qi say that Zhangjia Zhuangzi will send someone to give the 1,500 taels of silver.

It's just that these silvers are not given for free, so his county commander's face is not good-looking, a court official, even needs a Zhuangzi's almsgiving, and people will have a feeling of distrust in him as an official.

Therefore, it was also said that he wanted to use this money to buy a piece of land, and the one he bought was the one next to the Xiaoluoshui River, and replaced it with other land, and Cheng County Ling would also ponder it to see if Zhangjia Zhuangzi deliberately took advantage of this time to take advantage of it, but that piece of land was unable to say anything, and everyone said that they wanted the north bank.

What's on the North Shore? Of course, he knew that a broken mountain was just a small place, but it couldn't grow anything, there were few trees, and there were so few sparse trees, if the mountain was worth 1,500 taels of silver, wouldn't other land have to be multiplied dozens of times?

One is to publicize the matter of Zhangjia Zhuangzi's purchase of mountains to the people in the county, so that the people know that there is a Zhuangzi who is willing to do a loss-making business, and the other is to wait for the Yamen to come up with money so that the people know that the Yamen is not greedy for their money, nor does it collect taxes from the people casually.

Early the next morning, Cheng County's order got up, and before he could ask himself, someone said to him: "Master, there are only two of those officials left who can still get up, and the others are all sick, and I found someone to come over last night to see, saying that it is nothing, and I will be able to get better in a few days, sir, do you want to go and see." ”

"Are you really okay? Okay, let them keep it, the remaining two don't care, even if they are not sick, they can't make trouble for a while, it is natural to see, go and prepare some light food, oh, the fungus also get some, these people are ancestors, each person has to take out a few hundred taels of silver, and it is worth it to eat and drink. ”

Cheng Xianling was happy when he thought of what these people said at the beginning, now it's okay, there is Zhangjia Zhuangzi's soy sauce press, and there are 1,500 taels of silver, plus these officials', even if when they leave, buy some fungus from Zhangjia Zhuangzi and give them to carry, they can make a lot of money.

The rest of the money was used to suppress the prices caused by the drought, especially some merchants with bad intentions, saying that they could not be allowed to raise the price of food, otherwise the people would starve.

After waiting to freshen up and have some breakfast, Cheng County Ling asked people to carry light food and visit the places where the officials were.

The sick people let them cultivate well, and the rest of the people who are not sick are just standing up now, their bodies are sore and painful, they were served and washed, and they have no strength to eat.

Dealt with a few words of Cheng County's order, and waited for Cheng County's order to leave, two people sat next to the table, someone fed a mouthful, they ate a bite, these two people did not carry water, they were helping to open up the wasteland, a pickaxe head after pickaxe head to pick down, now the two arms are thicker than usual, drooping there, a little shaking, it will let them take a breath, and some people who exercise regularly will tell them that this is called cool.

After Cheng County ordered these things, he began to wait for Zhangjia Zhuangzi to come, and at the same time asked people to keep writing notices to let the people in the county know about this matter, as for those who don't know how to read, he is not worried, naturally there are people who are willing to show their literacy to tell others.

Before waiting for the people of Zhangjia Zhuangzi to come, most of the people in the county knew about it, some people said that Zhangjia Zhuangzi was stupid, and some people said that Zhangjia Zhuangzi was benevolent and righteous, anyway, no one said that Zhangjia Zhuangzi could still make money if he bought the mountain, and it would be good if he did not lose his death.

At the end of the day, the two oxen on the Zhangjia Zhuangzi finally rushed over, he came lightly, 1,500 taels were put behind, but they were not all silver, as well as copper coins and cloth, added together, enough to load two cars, if it was only silver, a few boxes would be enough.

The money did not come together, of course Cheng County Ling would not immediately lead Erniu to the place, first arrange for Erniu to rest, don't look at Erniu is a subordinate, Cheng County Ling also maintained due respect.

"Erniu, this official remembers that you have done a lot of things for Zhangjia Zhuangzi, right?" Cheng County Ling arranged Erniu to a place to eat, preparing to let him eat something, coming over so early, he must have not eaten breakfast, and at the same time chatting casually.

"Back to the adult, the little one didn't actually do anything, it was all to listen to the words of the master's family, the master asked the little one to do something, and the small one just did it, the adult, you don't have to be busy preparing food, the small one brought, you see, it's all in the bag."

Erniu is usually more clever, and when he saw that his place was convenient, he knew how the county magistrate arranged it, and as he spoke, he put the package on his back on the table, opened it quickly, and put some bamboo tubes in it.

"Oh? Did you bring anything with you? It took a lot of work to get out of the house and prepare these things, right? Cheng Xian Ling asked curiously, in fact, he was not happy in his heart, how long would it take to prepare these things? Didn't you come early if you weren't ready?

"The adults are wrong this time, hehe, these things that the little ones are carrying are not prepared at home, they are made by the master's family, and the little ones get up early, bring their things and rush here, not at all to stop." Of course, Erniu understood the implicit meaning of Cheng County's words, and explained with a smile.

While talking, he opened the things all the way, a big bamboo tube with tofu brain, he loved to eat this, so the same was prepared for him, a few small bamboo tubes with leek flowers, and sliced white cut beef, the smallest bamboo tube is garlic sauce.

An oily paper bag next to it was torn, and there were three white steamed buns, a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and a copper spoon, which were his breakfast and utensils.

Pour the steaming marinade into the tofu brain, stir it twice with a spoon, and put some leek flowers to eat.

"The adults and the small ones are really hungry, so eat first." Erniu said apologetically to Cheng County's order and began to eat.

Cheng Xianling was stunned when he watched from the side, there was actually white-cut beef, and garlic sauce was served, and there were mushrooms, diced meat, fungus, coriander, and frangipani in the marinade.

Seeing that Erniu was eating there, Cheng Xianling also swallowed his saliva twice and asked, "The main family is so good to you?" Do you usually eat this? ”

"No, I usually eat a little worse, not too much, isn't this going out to do errands, little ...... The master said that it is easy to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a while, and the poor family still needs to be blessed, where is the food outside that is carefully made at home? No, it was brought to the small ones, so that the small ones could eat better outside. ”

Erniu scooped a spoonful of tofu brain, swallowed it and replied to Cheng County, with a sincere smile on his face.

Cheng County Ling couldn't laugh at all, a subordinate, the main family can be so considerate, where are the words of Erniu said to the subordinate, it is clear that the children are traveling far away, and the parents at home entrust it, if anyone wants to buy such a subordinate, then there is no need to think about it, don't say it is Erniu, if you are in this position, you must also protect the main family with all your heart.

"Is it delicious?" Cheng Xianling was distracted when he thought about it, and asked about the fragrance of the marinade and the bean fragrance of tofu brain, and couldn't help asking.

"It's delicious, adults may not know, the things made by our master are delicious, you look at the white cut beef, not directly put it in the pot to cook, so that the meat is boiled out hard, you see here, it is soft, and you have to put some other things when cooking, that is, the things before making the dough."

Well, it's a secret recipe, use that thing to cook together, that's it after cooking, garlic sauce is different, the garlic sauce elsewhere is to mash the garlic, out of the juice and then put soy sauce, here is to cut the garlic into foam, soak in soy sauce, soak for a few days, and then take it out, it's not so spicy, and there is a special taste, if you don't believe it, taste it. ”

As Er Niu spoke, he didn't eat a few slices of white-cut beef before meeting, so he pushed it in front of Cheng Xian Ling and pushed the garlic sauce over.

Cheng Xianling looked at things and struggled in his heart, to eat or not to eat? I'm afraid of losing face if I eat, and if I don't eat it, I'll be gluttonous by Erniu, and finally persuade myself that it's all the things on the master's side, and it's nothing to eat as an apprentice.

With such an idea, Cheng Xianling finally put down the shelf, directly pinched a piece of beef with his hands, dipped it in garlic sauce, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and exclaimed:

"Okay, it's really extraordinary, the master is capable, Erniu, buy that mountain this time, can you think about it? Don't feel like a loss? It's really not possible, I'll change places. ”

"Huh? Change? If you don't change it, my lord, you must not change it, when you came, the lord's family said that the place is going to be decided, don't you want to regret it? As soon as Er Niu heard this, he stopped his chopsticks and replied firmly, he didn't know why the little boy wanted that place, he only knew that if the little boy wanted it, it was a good deal.
