Chapter 5 Hotel Treats

When lying in bed at night, An He ate some pecans, dried peaches, persimmons, dried apricots, and dried dates that Lin Yishan picked when he hunted from Mangshan last year, and An He felt that the taste was not bad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yishan, let's plant something on the field at which mouth. Like planting some fruit trees or something." An He said.

"Having said that, I also have this intention, but which field is poor in sandy soil, and what is planted does not grow, if you can get more dung, you can also try, but which plot is so big, where to get so much dung? Besides, you also know that the family is as poor as washing, and the family is surrounded by walls, so why do you have money to buy saplings? ”

An He thought about it, it was true, and he didn't say anything.

With his head resting on his hands, he fell into deep thought.

A spider on the beam of the house was building a web, and it kept spitting out silk threads thinner than a human hair, shuttling back and forth between the two logs, and in a short time, a large and fine spider web was formed.

An He's mind kept coming up with the notices of the official mansion posted on the remnant wall, Lin Yishan's barren mouth divided field, and Yongye Field, which was dug into a big pit, slowly linked these things together, he had a bold idea, An He couldn't help but get excited about his idea, and he didn't sleep for half a night as if he had taken a stimulant.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, An He woke up and pushed Lin Yishan awake again.

"Yishan, let's not chop wood today, do you remember which notice the county government recruited people to carry rubble?"

"What rubble?"

Lin Yishan rubbed his loose eyes, obviously he hadn't woken up yet.

"It's just what the old county government demolished."

"Of course I know, what's wrong," Lin Yishan asked puzzled.

"I want to take down this errand of carrying rubble."

Ann He said excitedly.

"You're not mistaken, do you know how many people are needed for this?

Ten laborers for thirty days, all of which have not been completed, you take over this work, and you and I can only finish the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

I'm afraid that before the work is completed, people will be tired to death, if you hire someone to do it, the five hangs of money given by the government will not be enough, how can you and I get the money to send the laborers? You'd better not think about it. ”

Lin Yishan obviously disagreed with An He's opinion.

"I have a method, without spending a penny or hiring people, I can move the rubble into a big pit in your Yongye field, and I can earn a few dollars."

"It's really a fool's dream, there is such a good thing, how different is it to fall into the pie with the world, I don't believe it."

Lin Yishan said disdainfully.

"I promise you that it will be done, but the most urgent thing is to find the person in charge of the county government and get this errand down as soon as possible."

"It's not difficult, the notice has been posted for dozens of days, and no one has responded to this errand so far, which shows that it is not an easy task to do this." Lin Yishan said.

"Without further ado, we need to fight for this errand as soon as possible, and don't eat the fat meat delivered to the door, aren't we fools?"

An He said with a grin.

"You are a relative of our family when you are the county order, you can see it if you want to, but I know Huang Dahai, the head catcher in the county office, and I can pass the word to the county order through him." Lin Yishan said

"Let's go find him now." Ann said eagerly.

"But I have no idea about you, if you should do such an errand, we can't do it again, and we can't afford to miss the official family." Lin Yishan said.

"Don't worry, you just have to go to him and say, the rest of the things are wrapped up in my brother, you have a life-saving grace for me, can I still lie to you." An He said.

"You'll have to let me know what you think." Lin Yishan asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, you'll know later, my brother will definitely surprise you."

"Can it really work?"

Lin Yishan scratched his head and asked, he still didn't believe it.

"You can believe my brother once, and I will go with you."

An He couldn't say anything, and pulled An He up.

At noon, it is the busiest time on the streets of Yongcheng County, and the people who come and go almost crowd the entire Yongcheng County.

An He and Lin Yishan coincided with the head-catching yellow sea in the livestock market.

Lin Yishan pulled Huang Dahai to a restaurant on the side and ordered a plate of mutton and a pound of soju.

Huang Dahai grinned and sat down on the bench.

An He hurriedly poured wine for Huang Dahai next to him.

"Huang Ye, I really have something to ask you for today, and I am willing to ask Huang Ye for help." Lin Yishan said.

"If you have something to say, let it go quickly, don't delay Lao Tzu's work."

Huang Dahai was not polite, drank all the wine in the bowl, and put a piece of mutton in his mouth.

"The notice of the county government has also been posted for dozens of days, I wonder if anyone is willing to carry the rubble of the old county office?"

"So far, no one has answered, what's the matter, boy, you want to do this errand!"

"That's what we both mean." An He said.

Huang Dahai's eyes widened at Sai Tongling, laughed, and looked at Lin Yishan and An He.

"Go, while playing, how old are you two guys, and you're still little kids, it's like a mountain of rubble, just the two of you, I want to get it away, and make your mother's spring and autumn dream!"

"Huang Ye rest assured, I am willing to establish evidence as proof, if this errand is handed over to the two of us, I will clean it up within 20 days, if you miss the official errand, let Huang Ye deal with it." An He said confidently.

"What method do you use to ensure that it is cleared within 20 days?" Huang Dahai asked.

The notices have been posted for dozens of days, and no one has responded to this matter, and Huang Dahai does not believe that two thirteen or fourteen-year-old children have the ability to carry it within 20 days.

"There is no gold and steel diamond, no porcelain work, the villain has his own opinions, but the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed, you just wait and see." An He leaned into Huang Dahai's ear and said: "When the official family rewards ten hanging lines, we will only accept six hangings, and the rest will be used for Huang Ye to make wine money."

Huang Dahai was excited when he heard it, and the county order asked about it in the past few days, and he was also worried about it, anyway, no one should respond to this errand, so he handed it over to the two of them, and the dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor.

If these two boys really do it, not only will they solve a problem for the county order, but they can also get some benefits by the way, why not do it, Huang Dahai secretly calculated.

"Okay, I don't want you two to write any notes, you two don't go far, I'll report to the county magistrate, I think this matter should be done." But you two boys, if you can't complete the project on time and miss the official family's major affairs, I won't spare you."

"In this way, then thank you Huang Ye, next time I will go into the mountain with Yishan, and I will give you some pheasants to make snacks." An He said, and hurriedly poured Huang Dahai another bowl of wine.

Huang Dahai drank wine, and went to the county government to report to the county order, and An He and Lin Yishan made an appointment to wait for him in the hotel.

Huang Dahai saw the county order, the county order was worried about this matter, and thought about adding two more dollars to find someone to do it, when he heard that someone should do this errand, he was naturally very happy, needless to say, the green light all the way.

Huang Dahai returned to the hotel and said to Lin Yishan and An He:

"The matter has been said to the two of you, you two must start as soon as possible, and strive to complete this errand as soon as possible, don't let Lao Tzu lose face in the county master, there are many people who want to take this errand, I want to say it, the county master is willing to hand over this errand to the two of you, but pay the money alive, which ten hanging money you want, you still need to wait for some time."

Obviously, it was something that the county magistrate couldn't ask for, but he had to say that he had won it for Lin Yishan and An He, and this guy was also coarse and fine.

An He thought to himself: Whatever, anyway, as long as you hand over this errand to the two of them, this thing will be done.

"There's no rush for this, it's not too late to pay when this errand is completed," An He said.

At this time, there was a shouting and scolding outside the store, it turned out that a horse seller's horse gnawed the vegetables of a vegetable seller on the side of the road, and the mother was unwilling, so she let someone lose money, who was unwilling, and which lady reasoned, the mother also had to be unforgiving, and picked up the basket around her to smash the horse seller.

Huang Dahai, as the head catcher, naturally had to take care of this kind of thing, walked out of the hotel, and spent a lot of effort to mediate, and finally the horse dealer apologized to Niangniang.

Back to the hotel, the three of them each ordered a bowl of noodles, during the meal, An He learned from Hu Dahai that in the spring of the past few years, there were a large number of people from Yongcheng County who went to the Turks to sell horses, although the relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty is tense now, but they are still in the economy, and the two sides take what they need.

In winter, the Turks often have heavy snow and the weather is extremely cold, and few people go to sell horses.

In the spring, when the snow melts and the weather improves, horse traders flock to the country.

Yongcheng County is a natural barrier into the Central Plains, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, the court has an army stationed in Yongcheng, naturally also needs war horses and military rations, horses sold from the Turks, the breed is excellent, the temperament is fierce, it is a head higher than the horses of the Central Plains, many officials and eunuchs in the city, the giant businessmen also like the Turkic horses.

Many shrewd Yongcheng people saw this business opportunity and went to the northern steppe to sell horses, and some Turks came to Yongcheng to sell horses, which generally ended when the weather was cold in winter.

There is only one livestock city in Yongcheng County, which is very small in the middle of the county, and there are usually many farmers who lead their cattle and sheep to buy and sell.

The influx of horses at once was unbearable in the livestock market, and many horse traders casually sold them on trees tethered to the side of the street, and the horse dung was all over the street, attracting countless green-headed flies, and the whole street was stinky and noisy.

Horses eating Niangniang's food is still a trivial matter, which horses from the Turks, from the grassland to the interior, the environment is uncomfortable, causing this ** temper to be extremely irritable, and there have been many incidents of horses kicking people.

Many people who were kicked pulled the horse traders to the county government theory, and the county commander Liu Wenzhi handed over such matters to Huang Dahai to deal with.

Huang Dahai is a rough man, if you want to say that chasing a murderer and taking a prisoner or something, he is good at it, even if it is a fierce prisoner, he is not afraid, he dares to fight with people with a horizontal knife. can be a head catcher, which is also exchanged for the days when there is blood on the tip of the knife.

But dealing with this kind of thing is obviously not his forte, and he has come and gone, and his head is big.

As soon as Huang Dahai mentioned this, he was angry. There are too many horse dealers, the horses on the grassland are too violent, and the county commander Liu Wenzhi does not know how to use people, he is a knife player, and he has to let him do something with his mouth, this matter should be handed over to the chief bookkeeper Ruan Yuanguan.

"Huang Ye, otherwise, in order to repay you and the government for taking this errand for the two of us, Brother Yishan has a twenty-acre field in the north of Yongcheng County, which has not been planted for more than a year, and it is also deserted wherever it is, it is better to let the horse sellers and horse sellers concentrate where to trade, we will let them use it for a year for free, what do you think?" In this way, it is estimated that there will be no more horses kicking people in the downtown area, and you will be relieved of your worries. An He said.

Lin Yishan was so shocked that his mouth almost opened to his head, and he didn't speak for a long time, and An He casually let people use his twenty acres of land for free in a few words.

When Huang Dahai heard this, he jumped up from the stool.

"That's great, you can save me, damn it, Lao Tzu is bothered to deal with such trivial things, and Lao Tzu's head is about to explode."

Huang Dahai knew which piece of land Lin Yishan was, when he took the soil from, he still led the people to do it, and now which piece of land is a big pit in front of it, where the horse trade is carried out, and how deep the pit is, the horse can't run up the street in front.

Besides, if there is wild grass more than one person tall in it, the horses will naturally be much more honest when they have something to eat.

But after thinking about it again, he found that he had kissed the wrong person, this land belonged to Lin Yishan, and he hadn't expressed his position yet.

"Yishan, look, okay?" Huang Dahai turned to a mountain and said.

Lin Yishan looked at An He in a daze, obviously he hadn't figured it out yet, and An He glanced at him vigorously.

"Master Huang, since my brother agreed, let's do what my brother said." Lin Yishan pulled his head, cried with a sad face, and said impatiently.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll call all the catchers, and let the horse sellers and buyers gather where to trade."

As soon as Huang Dahai was happy, he asked for another pound of soju, and his neck was red when he drank it. After eating, Huang Dahai slapped five copper plates on the table.

"Shop, checkout".

Lin Yishan rushed to tie the knot, but was pushed by him and almost flipped over.

"Today, Lao Tzu has a treat, since you have agreed, don't regret it."

After speaking, he picked up the horizontal knife and walked away crookedly.
