Yao Erniang was shocked again, turned her head to look, and the scalper smiled: "Mother, these are the beggars I collected today, and they will be our little girls in the future, and they don't need to make money, just eat and live in the future." ”

"Nonsense!" Yao Erniang scolded, but she looked at the children helplessly, and said, "Get up!" ”

It doesn't matter if the old man is a stubborn cow, I didn't expect my son to be the same now, as a mother Yao Erniang couldn't say anything, so she came up and took a closer look at these children one by one, and found that they were not disabled except for being thin, and they looked clean inside and out, although the clothes were old, the dirty clothes inside were new, and even the smell of bathing with pancreas on the body, I couldn't help but look back at the scalper after thinking about it.

How could the beggars go to the soup pool to take a bath, they must have done all this by their son, but it is also a delicate trick!

At that moment, Yao Erniang was busy asking the children to help Kong Bo move it down from the mule cart and prepare the night food, thinking that the children's food was not prepared, and was about to ask Kong Bo to go back and make it again, but the scalper said that he had already found a foot shop to order food, but he didn't have to worry about it.

After everyone had eaten, the scalper took the children back to their new home, anyway, there were still many empty rooms in the house, and they were not afraid that they would not be able to live. After everything settled down, the scalper took the time to ask the children's birth dates, only to know that the leader Ye Dalong was actually three months older than himself, and the youngest child was just ten years old, but unfortunately there was only one Ye Dalong, a Wang Erniang had a name and a surname, and the other children only knew the milk name.

Got rid of Ye Dalong and Wang Erniang, the remaining eleven children were: Huang Shi, Huang Runniang, Huang Tietou, Huang Shuya, Huang Yuniu, Huang Litou, Huang Sandi, Huang Qiaoniang, Huang Qilang, Huang Dazhuan and Huang Fat Tiger.

The children's sources are also the hungry people who fled to Huangzhou from all over the country during the famine this summer, either separated from their families, or their parents starved to death, among which Tietou and Shuya are brother and sister, Qiao Niang and the third brother are sisters and brothers, and only Ye Dalong is an old-timer who began to wander in Huangzhou last spring.

After settling them down, he went to his brother's house and told him that he had accepted thirteen children as younger brothers today, and said, "Senior brother, I have figured it out, and I do have to have some long-term plans." ”

"Oh!" Gongsun Zheng heard him say that he had received a lot of children, and his heart was also curious, and when he heard him say that he had a plan, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked, "So what is the plan of the junior brother?" ”

"I want to make money, make a lot of money! Only when you make money can you build an army, and only with an army can you protect yourself, keep your own family, and maybe you can protect the country and the people. The scalper was blunt, but Gongsun Zheng, who listened, was stunned and asked him: "Build an army?" Senior brother, you ...... Didn't think it was bad, did you? ”

The scalper shook his head, but followed Gongsun Zheng's words yesterday: "I thought about my senior brother's words last night, if the heavenly opportunity is true, that is to say, the official army of the Great Song Dynasty is extremely unreliable, thinking that the army of the Jin State can destroy the Liao State and break the Bianliang in Tokyo, it must be that army is a brave general, a warrior of a hundred battles, and it is difficult to compete with personal strength." So...... In this way, if my senior brother wants to act, he must have his own army, in case the senior brother's plan does not come true, and he can't kill Na Guta, I will form a large army, and when he comes, the decisive battle will be. ”

"Ahh Gongsun Zheng clapped his hands, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, so he got up and turned around in the room, and from time to time he was chanting something in a dialect that the scalper couldn't understand, and soon he slapped his hand again, and said, "Not bad! The junior brother's plan actually made the senior brother suddenly, thinking that it would be impossible to change it easily that day, the Great Song Xiang army was erosive, and the border army also had some combat power, but the heavenly machine predicted this, so building a large army by itself was the only way. Okay, well, I immediately went to Erxian Mountain and Lao Junguan to report the matter. ”

He also said: "Senior brother, this matter is feasible, let go and do a big job, if you lack money, just ask, senior brother and you will prepare money and food." ”

The scalper said: "Let go but don't worry, it's better to grope step by step, as for the money and food, it's not bad now." ”

Then the two discussed some miscellaneous matters, and the scalper went back to the house and fell asleep.

This night, the scalper is a lot of strange dreams, the dream seems to follow a piece of food from the end of the world to the cape, when the Tianming chicken woke up, only to find that the whole chest was wet with saliva, and tried to think about it and found that all the food in the dream was remembered, and the strange dream sent last night seemed to be called "China on the tip of the tongue".

After getting up, the scalper went to the place where the children lived, and more than a dozen children were crowded in a side room, and they were sleeping soundly at this time, so they did not disturb them, and went out for a run by themselves, and after coming back and making a snake stick, the children got up one after another.

However, I didn't see my senior brother Gongsun Zheng early this morning, and I went to his house and didn't see him, so I took the children to breakfast, and then took two ten-yuan flying money and carried the purse and led the children out of the door.

Soon, the scalper took the children to buy 20 killed chickens in the grass market, and bought 50 catties of official salt, 20 catties of brown sugar, 10 catties of fine shrimp skin and 10 catties of fine dried wild mushrooms and other main ingredients, as well as star anise, bay leaves, fennel and other accessories, and also bought a large and two small tripartite stone mills, plus 7788 sundries, and actually spent the remaining five taels of silver and a few hundred copper coins and twenty yuan of flying money in the blanket yesterday.

After returning home, the scalper called Erniang, Aunt Qi, Kong Bo and Fushou again, and they got busy together.

First of all, Kong Bo took Ye Dalong and a few older children to start killing chickens and removing feathers, and separated the chicken, chicken skin, chicken bones, chicken wings, chicken thighs and chicken cartilage, and chicken necks.

Then Fushou took Kong Yun and three small children, drove a mule cart to the West Lake to collect artemisia and artemisia, and asked Tian Si to clean up a side room, and after the tripartite stone mill was installed, he took two children to grind the shrimp skin, dried wild mushrooms, star anise, bay leaves and fennel and so on into powder.

However, the scalper himself personally led Erniang and Aunt Qi to get busy in the stove room, first of all, he turned all the fifty catties of official salt into water, and then filtered and then boiled and crystallized again, and got almost forty catties of white salt. Yao Erniang, who had seen such a miracle a long time ago, was of course fine, but Aunt Qi was so frightened that she kowtowed and vowed never to reveal such a secret.

Then the scalper turned the brown sugar into water again, and also refined a large white jaberseed of almost fifteen catties, Yao Erniang picked a few and threw them into her mouth, and said, "Wrong!" Wrong! Seven things to open the door, in addition to making money with salt, wine and tea, you have to count this sugar! ”
