Chapter 71: Thick and Fine

Originally, this "faceless" Jiao Ting was very good at hand-to-hand fighting, and he was able to deal with the more than ten green-skinned scoundrels in front of him. [Many of the people in the neighborhood have been bullied by such characters, and when they see a good man teaching a lesson, everyone naturally applauds.]

Fighting on the streets with such a, as long as no one is killed, even the officials who patrol the streets will not pay attention, and if they really want to arrest such a broken household and put it in the prison camp, not only will they not have much oil and water, but they will also have to take care of food, which is really uncommitted.

After sending away these scoundrels, Shi Xiu pulled Jiao Ting out of the crowd, and just rushed forward, but Jiao Ting, a burly man, scratched his head, and he couldn't figure out who this good brother who had met several times in the city was going to take him to meet.

"Brother Shixiu go slowly, and it's not too late to explain the words, I haven't eaten at all in my stomach this morning, and I just tossed again, I'm really hungry at this time!"

These two were all shabby households in the market before, how can they usually have spare money, Shi Xiu is better, and he can still support one or two when he goes up the mountain to fetch firewood every day, so that he will not starve himself. This Jiao Ting is the same as that Bian Xiang, he has a wide belly, if he really wants to eat enough, he is afraid that he can eat four or five meals of ordinary people in one meal.

Today, I finally sent the next month's money to the car and horse shop, Jiao Ting's mind was full of pie and bone broth at this time, and when he passed by a shop, he smelled the fragrance of the big bone broth wafting over.

Shi Xiu also got up late this morning and rushed to the city, and it was more than ten miles away to come and go, but he had to meet a "nobleman" just now, and he forgot his stomach desire when he was in a mood. At this time, after Jiao Ting's reminder, he also came back to the taste, and he felt more and more hungry in his stomach.

The Daimyo Mansion is an important town in the north, since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, there has been no large-scale military confrontation between the Song and Liao countries, and the border fields are also very prosperous, coupled with the increasingly large scale of border goods smuggling, a large number of Liao livestock were sold to the Great Song Dynasty, especially the two roads of Hebei adjacent to Yandi.

Such conditions have also created a change in the eating habits of the people in Hebei, and mutton bone soup is a food that is suitable for all ages and is deeply loved by the people. A bowl of thick white lamb bone soup, sprinkled with some green onions, and thick flatbread, is both delicious and filling, and it is really the best food for lower-class people such as Jiao Ting and Shi Xiu.

A big bowl of mutton bone soup went down to the stomach, and five or six flatbreads were rolled, in this harsh winter season, Jiao Ting was eating a hot sweat, so refreshing!

"Brother Shixiu, but which leader of the village is willing to take us in?"

Jiao Ting has a vicious appearance and a straight temperament, and he is very easy to quarrel with others, that is, a clever character like Shi Xiu can make friends with him, but it is difficult for other people with a slightly worse temperament to tolerate him. It is precisely because of this reason that this hero has no way out, and in the end he has no money on his body, and can only do some heavy groceries for the chariot and horse shop in this daimyo's mansion.

"Brother Jiao is looking down on it, but this time it's not the characters in the green forest who recruit us!"

"It can't be from the government, right?"

Jiao Ting's family has relied on sumo wrestling skills for three generations, and since his grandfather's generation, he has inevitably traveled from east to west, selling some of his own skills in various temple fairs and markets, and begging for some bits and pieces of rewards, which is just barely making ends meet. During this period, he was naturally inevitably exploited and bullied by the officials of the government, so Jiao Ting instinctively had some disgust for the people in the government.

Hearing a few traces of dissatisfaction with the government brought out by Jiao Ting's words, Shi Xiu frowned slightly, but then thought that he patted his chest in front of Ximenqing and made a package ticket, but he had to do his best in this matter, and thought for a moment before he spoke: "Brother Jiao, there is a fight on the green forest road, and it is natural for big names to eat wine and meat, and to divide gold and silver on big scales, but there is no tomorrow today, after all, it is not an end." Now there is a road to heaven in front of you, and the eldest brother must not make trouble! If you are really tired of being crooked, I don't force my brother, and I can only part ways in the future, Brother Jiao stays in this famous mansion to mess around, and my brother goes to fight for a rich background! ”

Shi Xiude Ximen Qingxin is heavy, it is the time to repay the service, how can this Jiao Ting go to see his benefactor with resentment, the words are slightly agitated, and immediately the reckless straight man in front of him stares at the round eyes, pulling his neck and shouting: "Straight lady thief, in this famous mansion, even a little gangster and scoundrel have to bully me!" Just this mutton soup flatbread, it is difficult to get a full stomach a few times throughout January! Anyway, it's a bad life, if there is really any minister in the government who can look down on me, where is there so much nonsense, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will never frown! ”

"Okay, that's what I want, brother!"

Shi Xiuyi patted Jiao Ting's shoulder, and said excitedly, "Our father-in-law, that is the title hand-picked by today's officials, and he doesn't care about my background, he is only commensurate with his brothers, and he is really a good official who is hard to find!" In the future, as long as we work hard, we will have a wealth in the future! ”

"If there is really such a character, brother quickly lead me away, and let me see and understand!"

Jiao Ting heard such a good thing, where did he still sit, and immediately rolled the remaining flatbread on the table, pulled Shi Xiu and left the roadside shop, stuffing the flatbread into his mouth while hurrying, and muttered, "I was going to keep it for tomorrow, but now I am eating his mother's pleasure!" ”

The two of them rushed all the way to the hotel where Ximenqing was staying, only to see a well-decorated double-wheel carriage parked outside the hotel.

"Since the big officials have come to the Daimyo's Mansion, Rao is my master who went to the north and did not return, Xiao Yi must be entertained, otherwise the master will come back and not pick Xiao Yi's skin!"

Outside the hotel, Yan Qing, the "prodigal son" of Jinxinxiukou, was letting Ximenqing and his party into the car, and his attitude was very respectful.

"Isn't that Brother Yi of Lu Yuan's family?"

Jiao Ting saw Yan Qing from afar, the latter was a celebrity in the Daimyo Mansion, compared to Lu Junyi's deep and simple residence, taking care of business outside all the year round, this Yan Qing had a good reputation in the Daimyo Mansion, even if the officials and officials saw it, they had to call him "Brother Xiaoyi" in person, which was very good.

"The one next to Brother Xiao Yi is the 'nobleman' I said, the deputy envoy of Shandong Logistics Institute and the deputy envoy of the Dengzhou Water Division, and the official of Ximen!"

Shi Xiu introduced it slightly, and then pulled Jiao Ting and hurried to Ximenqing.

"The reckless person Jiao Ting, I've seen a big official!"

Jiao Ting is a coarse and meticulous person, calling himself a "reckless person", obviously because he is afraid that he will not tolerate others because of his own temperament in the future.

"Brother Jiao Ting, hurry up, this reckless person is also a straightforward and bold person, don't be restrained in the future!"

Ximenqing smiled and helped Jiao Ting up from the ground, and then pointed to Yan Qing in front of him, "Presumably you two also know Brother Xiaoyi, but today you invited me to Cuiyun Tower to eat and play, so I cheekily borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, as a pick-up for the two brothers, everyone has the right to go to Gaole once!" ”

For a while, everyone was overjoyed, hugged Ximen Qing into the carriage, and went straight to Cuiyun Tower.
