Zhao Xuzheng listened attentively, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to suddenly ask him what he would do if he was Hu Dashan, which made him answer almost without thinking: "Although I now know that sour meat can't eat dead people, and it is very delicious, but this is forbidden by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, so if I were Hu Dashan, I would definitely not use those sour meat to make buns." ”

After all, Zhao Xu is still just a child, no matter how early he is, his thoughts are still too idealistic, and he didn't consider the situation of Hu Dashan at that time, so at this time Zhao Yan opened his mouth and reminded: "Xu'er, you were born in the emperor's family, and you have not experienced the joys, sorrows, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people, this is a major flaw in your body, you think about it seriously now, if Hu Dashan really threw away those sour meats, then what will happen to him next?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Yan's reminder, and then remembered that the third uncle had already said just now, Hu Dashan's family had no money left to buy new meat, if there were no raw materials, Hu Ji's steamed bun shop would naturally not be able to open, and the third uncle had also said before that the Hu family had more than a dozen people, and they all relied on the steamed bun shop to feed, if there was no source of income, wouldn't the Hu family be starved to death?

Seeing the hesitant expression on Zhao Xu's face at this time, Zhao Yan also knew that he finally realized the difficult situation of Hu Dashanren at that time, and immediately spoke again: "Xu'er, Hu Dashanren was faced with a dilemma at that time, on the one hand, the lives of more than a dozen people in their Hu family, on the other hand, his conscience and morality, and the laws of the Great Song Dynasty that he might face, but in the end he finally chose family affection, which is really a very painful decision for a person who is dedicated to kindness. ”

"And then?" At this time, Zhao Xu also realized Hu Dashanren's ambivalence at that time, and it was understandable that he made such a choice, and at the same time, he was more interested in this old matter.

"Hehe, the rest of the story is even more interesting. Maybe Hu Dashan did a lot of good deeds before, so that God blessed him, his steamed buns made of sour meat turned out to be extremely delicious, the next day the people who bought his steamed buns were more than praised, and then attracted more people to buy steamed buns, and the result was just more than a month. The Hu Ji buns in Sweet Water Lane spread all over the capital, which also made the business of Hu Ji buns skyrocket, and the Hu family also made a lot of money for it. ”

When he said this, he saw Zhao Yan suddenly show an indifferent smile, and then asked Zhao Xu again: "Xu'er, it's still the same question just now, if you are Hu Dashan, what should you do at this time?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment. Then he said inexplicably, "What else can I do?" Bad things have become good things, Hu Dashan people are naturally very happy about this, and then good people have good rewards, the Hu family must have made a lot of money with sour meat buns, and they will no longer have to worry about three meals a day in the future. ”

"Hehe, Xu'er, it's wrong for you to think like this, or you underestimate Hu Dashan too much!" At this time, Zhao Yan smiled again and said. Of course, when he heard this, he also reacted similarly to Zhao Xu. thought that the story should end here, but I didn't expect that the whole story had just begun here.

At the beginning, it was indeed as Zhao Xu said, with sour meat buns, Hu Dashanren's family did earn a lot of money, and the family also lived a rich life. But there is a thorn in Hu Dashan's heart, that is, he has always felt that it is unkind for him to make sour meat into buns and sell them. His heart was also full of guilt, and the more money his family earned, the deeper his guilt became. In the end, Hu Dashan finally couldn't bear the guilt in his heart, and took the initiative to go to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender.

"Ahh Zhao Xu couldn't help but scream in shock when he heard this, he never expected Hu Dashan to make such a choice. Although he is young, he also knows that if he were to change to someone else, he would definitely choose to hide this secret, and then make a fortune to support his family with peace of mind.

Seeing Zhao Xu's surprised look, Zhao Yan also smiled slightly: "It's very surprising, although Hu Dashan hasn't read any books, but his actions can be called a real gentleman, even I can't do it." ”

"What happened later, what happened to Hu Dashanren later?" At this time, Zhao Xu was also very anxious to ask again, he also had more and more respect for Hu Dashan, and he eagerly hoped that he would not be convicted for this.

"It's also a coincidence, it was Bao Zheng Bao Longtu who served as Kaifeng Mansion at that time, for Hu Dashan who took the initiative to surrender, Bao Zheng also had a headache, if Hu Dashan was punished in accordance with the law, he was really sorry for Hu Dashan's benevolence and righteousness, but if he didn't deal with it, it would violate the law of the Great Song Dynasty, so Bao Zheng finally made a judgment after thinking about it for a few days, that is, although Hu Dashan knew that the pork was spoiled and sold, but it did not cause any losses, and he could also take the initiative to surrender afterwards, so he opened the net, He was exempted from the punishment of exile, but he gave Hu Dashan a strange punishment. ”

When Zhao Yan said this, a pair of eyes looked at Zhao Xu with a smile, but before he could speak, Zhao Xu immediately waved his hand and said: "Third uncle, don't let me guess anymore, Bao Longtu is a famous minister during His Majesty Renzong's period, I can't guess his thoughts." ”

Hearing Zhao Xu say this, Zhao Yan didn't embarrass him anymore, and continued: "Although Bao Zheng was exempted from the exile of Hu Dashan, Hu Dashan violated the law of the Great Song Dynasty after all, so Bao Zheng stipulated that although the sour meat buns in Hu Ji Bun Shop are extremely delicious, they cannot increase in price because of this, but they are lower than the price of buns on the market, this regulation has been more than 30 years now, and Hu Dashan died of illness many years ago, but his descendants still abide by this regulation, The steamed buns on the market are generally five cents a cage, but only Hu Ji's sour meat buns are four cents a cage. ”

"Wonderful! Bao Longtu really deserves to be a generation of celebrities, this punishment is really unexpectedly wonderful! Zhao Xu couldn't help but applaud when he heard this, and then he turned his head to look at the Hu Ji bun outside the window, and then said with some admiration: "However, although Bao Zheng's punishment is wonderful, it is extremely rare for the descendants of the Hu family to be able to abide by the punishment of the government all the time, no wonder among the people queuing up outside, in addition to many servants of noble families, there are also many ordinary people dressed simply, it is estimated that there is only this one such delicious and cheap food." ”

"Hehe, Xu'er, your observation is keen, Hu Ji's sauerkraut buns have become the most famous food in Tokyo, anyone who comes to the capital, will inevitably come to buy a cage of fine tasting, speaking of which Hu Ji buns are cheaper than other buns, but under the small profits and quick turnover, the Hu family has also made a profit, becoming a famous merchant in Tokyo City, and now the Hu family's business is not limited to this steamed bun shop, but even so, the Hu family's operation of the steamed bun shop is not the slightest relaxation, and it will go to Kaifeng Mansion every year for the record, And set the price for the year. Zhao Yan smiled again at this time.

"Haha, Your Highness is right, Hu Ji Bun Shop does go to the house every year to negotiate the price, and last year their shopkeeper was still received by Wang!" As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man outside the private room, and then as soon as the door opened, a scruffy middle-aged man wearing a public uniform walked in, Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu were eating here, and the outside was naturally heavily guarded, this middle-aged man was able to come up, he must have been approved by the guards, in fact, he was the person Zhao Yan was waiting for.

"Haha, why are you here so late, we have all eaten, but there is nothing to do with you!" Zhao Yan saw this middle-aged man and immediately laughed, this middle-aged man is the Kaifeng Mansion Catcher Dynasty who cooperated with Zhao Yan to handle the fire case in the palace back garden, more than ten years have passed, he has now become the chief catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, but his appearance has not changed much, he is still so sloppy, if you don't know him, you really can't believe that he is a famous master of solving cases in Tokyo City.

"Hehe, Your Highness forgives me, I should have come a long time ago, but I met a few thieves on the way, and I cleaned it up, which delayed the time, and it was better to eat it, and the following Hu Ji buns opened the door for us to be public, and we can buy buns at any time." Wang Chao said and raised the oil-paper bag in his hand, which contained the bun he had just bought.

"In that case, then I won't invite you to dinner today, I'll go to my house another day to treat you well, it's not too early now, let's go!" Zhao Yan saw that the dynasty had already bought the buns, and immediately did not say politely to him, although the identities are very different, they are also old friends for more than ten years, and they usually drink together when they meet.

Wang Dynasty is usually busy with affairs, and today he only took a short time for Zhao Yan's affairs, so he didn't delay any longer, but he was still a little curious about Zhao Xu, and looked Zhao Xu up and down a few times, as if he was guessing the identity of the other party.

Zhao Yan knew that Wang Chao was the number one crime-solving master in the capital, and his eyes were very vicious, so he was afraid that he would see Zhao Xu's identity, so he explained with a smile: "This is my newly accepted disciple, and this time I will also take him to see the world." ”

Hearing that this ten-year-old child was Zhao Yan's disciple, the dynasty immediately showed a friendly smile to Zhao Xu, with Zhao Yan's identity, the disciples he accepted must be extraordinary, and he also found that although Zhao Xu was not very old, he was definitely not an ordinary child, but it was estimated that he was the child of a prince and nobleman, but Zhao Yan didn't explain too much, and he didn't want to ask again.

At that moment, the three of them got out of the restaurant and got into the carriage, and at this time, Zhao Xu also asked very obediently: "Sir, what are we going to do in the afternoon?" ”

"Take you to meet someone!" Zhao Yan said with a smile at this time, but when he thought of the person he was going to meet, he couldn't help but flash a little coldness in the depths of his eyes. (To be continued......)
