"Are you blaming me, sir?"

Shopkeeper Chen's face darkened instantly, and the teacup in his hand slammed heavily on the table and said coldly: "I would like to advise my lord, you are not alone in this Yunlai County, do you know who I am above?" As a subordinate of King Jing, he has always been accustomed to seeing all kinds of dignitaries and magnates, and now a small county magistrate dares to do things on his head at this moment, and he really takes himself seriously when he is called an adult?"

Zhao Xian Ling was speechless for a long time, he didn't expect this Chen Xuejie to turn his face!

"You!"

Before he could speak, Shopkeeper Chen took out a token in his arms and put it in front of him.

King Jing. There are even King Jing's subordinates in this small place?!

He hurriedly got up and bowed his hand to the shopkeeper Chen: "It turned out to be Lord Chen, the little one has eyes and no beads, and please atone for your sins!"

Shopkeeper Chen slowly put away the token and raised his chin: "Your Excellency, you don't need to be polite, this time I was ordered by the prince to stay here for a period of time, please take care of me." ”

"Yes, yes, that's for sure!"

Looking at him nodding his head, the corners of Shopkeeper Chen's mouth couldn't help but pull out a mocking smile.

It is said that power is not a good thing, but the feeling of power is really refreshing.

"I heard that the adults are collecting locusts now?"

Zhao Xianling said cautiously: "Yes, this locust has been raging recently, if it weren't for this method, those villagers would definitely not be willing to come and arrest them." ”

"Actually, this locust is not a small one, but a peasant woman from the countryside pays for it, and the small one is just a middleman."

Shopkeeper Chen snorted: "Then in this case, I will collect this locust, as for the price, I will not make it difficult for adults, how much do you collect, how about I give it double?"

"This ......"

Zhao Xianling hesitated a little and said: "Adult, the small one agrees to others first, if it goes back on its word... Wouldn't that be nice?"

"My lord, the most important thing for this person is to know the current affairs, I have doubled the price here, isn't it good to let you earn a little? The prince knows this..."

"Yes, yes, yes! If the prince needs it, it will definitely be given, Lord Chen, don't worry, the little ones who come here to trade will be sent to you there!"

After getting the letter of Zhao County's order, Shopkeeper Chen got up satisfied.

After seeing Zhao County's order send Shopkeeper Chen out with a smile on his face, the little guy who was guarding near the yamen returned without saying a word and told Shopkeeper Xu about it.

Xu Xuejiao, who learned of this, sneered: "It seems that this King Jing's hand is quite long." ”

Early in the morning a few days later, Dexing Building also began to publicize the news of the locust feast, and the price was much lower than that of Yunjian Restaurant, which also attracted many people to taste it for a while.

"Guest officer, there is a locust feast in the small shop today, I don't know if you want to have a taste?"

When people heard such a recommendation, they were naturally willing to come, and the hall that was full for a while basically ordered one.

The back kitchen immediately became busy, and the fried locusts were served on the table, which looked the same as those in Yunjian Restaurant from the outside, but the fragrance was much worse.

Someone couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and before he could chew a few mouthfuls, he vomited out with a disgusting face, and there were not only corpse residues that were spit out, but also a black mass, and the disgusting smell was really that came out of it!

"Little two! What kind of bullshit is you locust feast, what's this black thing!?"

The guest hurriedly rinsed his mouth with tea, but he couldn't get rid of the foul smell, and immediately called Xiao Er angrily.

Not only this table, but other tables also had problems one after another, and the whole hall was even more noisy for a while.

Shopkeeper Chen was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this to be the case at all!

At the moment, I had to apologize one by one, some of them could only lose money, he had lost a lot of money due to price reduction sales during this time, and today he lost a lot of money because of this locust feast!

After some guests took the money, they had to scold a few words for being cheap and not good, and then took the money to go to the Yunjian Restaurant not far away to eat, but he was so angry that his head was dizzy and he almost didn't faint.

At the same time, he also hated Chu Xinyun who provided this locust.

Chu Xinyun, who was busy at home, couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed his nose, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, who is scolding himself?

But she didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the sweet potatoes that could already be unearthed with joy!

After this period of care, these little ones can finally come out, she tried to dig a little, and found that because of proper care, this sweet potato is full, and any random one is the size of an adult's palm.

She immediately hired a few people in the village who had a good relationship with her to come and harvest together, and by the way, she could also make a little more famous in the village.

Aunt Zhao and Chu Ergou, who had contracted sweet potato planting before, also came, looking at the pale red sweet potatoes, thinking of the acres of land they planted, they couldn't close their happy mouths.

Four or five people worked together to dig for several days to harvest all the sweet potatoes in the three acres of land, and almost the entire side house was piled up, and there were at least 1,000 catties by visual inspection!

Now she can let go and make the vermicelli noodles she has wanted to eat for a long time!

She couldn't help but sigh, this is really a dynasty that hone people, no matter what you want to eat, you have to do it yourself, it's really a sentence to eat by any means.

But please be the pinnacle of foodies.

The next day, she picked some sweet potatoes with average heads and no moth-eaten and began to prepare for making fans, which is not a simple step, especially in this era of lack of tools, it took her two days to barely make the meager formed fans, and the next thing is to dry.

Looking at the thin strips in the sun. Son, whether it can be achieved in the end depends on this step.

In the process of waiting for drying, she went to Zhao County, and made an appointment with Zhao County Ling to pick up the broken worm once in three days, and she calculated that the time was almost the same, so she took Xiao Kill with her.

The officials also knew her in these few exchanges, so they were very happy to let her go.

But this time, she didn't wait for Zhao County's order, it was the master who came.

"The little lady has been waiting for a long time, and the adults will not come out to see you these days, please forgive me."

"It's okay, my lord is worried about the people, you don't have to come here for me." Although it was a little strange, Chu Xinyun didn't take it to heart.

After the two sides sat down, they began to talk in detail: "I wonder how many locusts have been received in the past few days?"

The master smiled: "This is what I want to tell the little lady today, this locust has been confiscated, and the villagers have not been handed over for several days, this is the remaining silver money, please take a look." ”

Saying this, he took out a silver ticket and a few taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed them over.

Chu Xinyun was a little stunned for a while: "Master... What does this mean?"

Xiao Shu on the side frowned when he heard this, in the past few days, he asked Xiao San and them to roughly check the situation of locusts captured by nearby villagers, obviously there are still many of them, why are they all gone all of a sudden?

"The little lady said with a smile, no one has come to sell locusts in the past few days, and the extra deposit will be returned to you."

"No one is here to sell? It's impossible!" Obviously, yesterday she heard Aunt Wang say that Xiaoli Village had caught a lot, how could no one come to sell it?

"It's not clear what the specific situation is, but please forgive me."

Seeing the smile of the master, Chu Xinyun frowned, and finally had to leave with the silver.

After leaving the yamen, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, something is wrong with this!

Then when I went back to Qingshui Town, I inquired about her, and she understood, co-authored Dexing Lou to make a ghost in it!

But he played a bad hand this time, throwing away all the remaining advantages, thinking of this, her mood is also a lot better, anyway, she didn't think about making money with this locust, just think about doing a good thing for the people!

Now that sweet potatoes and chili peppers are facing a bumper harvest season, it is time for me to talk to Shopkeeper Xu about the promotion of vermicelli fans.

The hot summer is coming to an end, and it's time for all kinds of vermicelli pots to be on the market.

"Little lady means that this sweet potato can still make something called a vermicelli?" Shopkeeper Xu had been worried about the locust for several days, and just wanted to pick a day to ask for help from Chu Xinyun, but she didn't expect her to come to the door to recommend it to herself.

"Yes, this kind of vermicelli is crystal clear, the taste is changeable, it can be made into spicy, sweet and sour, and because it is dried and stored, it can be stored for a long time, such as when you travel far away."

"When you want to eat, take out a ball, put it in water to boil a cup of tea, and then put some seasonings to eat, which can be described as a very convenient food."

It's some hard pancakes that can kill people, and when you eat them, break a piece and soak them in hot water, which is completely tasteless.

If you bring some vermicelli and some sauces and wild vegetables or something, the taste is better than dry cakes, isn't it?

Shopkeeper Xu realized the importance of this fan as soon as he heard it, if this thing can spread, it will definitely be one of the necessary dry food for long-distance travel in the future!

Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Xinyun called him for a long time before he reacted.

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly said, "I wonder if I can go back with the little lady to have a look?"

"This is naturally possible, and now this fan is still being dried."

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Xuejie handed over the matter of the restaurant to Wang Er, and he followed Chu Xinyun to Chujia Village.

"This is the fan?" Shopkeeper Xu walked quickly to the basket and took a closer look, and found that this thing called a fan was really like the name, thin and long, but it had a slight feeling.

"Yes, this is the amount I have made in the past two days, look at the weather, it is estimated that it will take a few days to take shape, if there is nothing to do with the shopkeeper, I will make a vermicelli pot for you to taste."

Shopkeeper Xu just wanted to taste what this vermicelli tasted like, so he nodded and agreed.

I just went to the market some time ago and bought a few small casseroles, at this time I used to make this vermicelli pot but there is a little brown and slightly spicy soup base with some meat and vegetables, and finally sprinkled with some chives before the pot, and the fragrant aroma will be the rhubarb of Aunt Wang's house next door is hungry.

"The shopkeeper comes and tastes it!"

Chu Xinyun liked to eat sour and spicy food, so he put a little vinegar on his own portion, and Xiao Shu was a non-spicy person, so he put a few more spoonfuls of spicy oil on him.

"Yo, it smells so good!" Shopkeeper Xu couldn't wait to come over, and saw that there were a lot of things in the small casserole, and the meat and vegetables looked quite rich.

Taste the soup first, the rich sauce flavor is spicy, salty and light, and then the smooth vermicelli, the entrance is slightly elastic but unexpectedly a little glutinous, Xu shopkeeper subconsciously tasted a few more chopsticks, and found that this thing is much better than noodles.

The three of them finally ate all the vermicelli and side dishes in their respective casseroles, and the shopkeeper Xu was finally relieved.
