Chapter 86, Liang eats potatoes after staying overnight
Hearing a familiar voice, Li Laosan looked at it. He also knew this Wang Xiaomi, and he had worked together with Zhang Biao when he robbed the rich and helped the poor, so he went up and punched him, and said with a smile: "Why can't I be here, buddy has been following my eldest brother to settle in Zhuohua Villa for some time." Hehe, I didn't expect you to have a great relationship with our host, it's so good, you can let the horses drink together again. ”
"Haha, yes. Listen to what you mean, Brother Zhang is also in the villa? ”
"Yes, my eldest brother is now the steward of the villa. Hehe, old guy, why didn't you recognize my second brother just now? ”
"Who? Build a brother? Where is it? ”
Hu Jianyi only cared about talking to Zhou Wen just now, and didn't look at them carefully, and said with a smile at this time: "Where are you here?" Hey, it seems that this person's ugliness is still good, and you can recognize it at a glance in the pile. ”
"Hahaha." The crowd laughed.
"Okay, there is time to chat in the evening, hurry up and get on the horse, it's important to hurry." Zhou Wen distributed the things sent by the Hu people to everyone, and then instructed everyone to quickly solve them and set off on the road. He himself put the stove and the wine and meat on Liu Shuang's carriage, and let the two of them make some hot food by themselves.
In the evening, the group rushed to the Houliang Tower. Compared with the commercial prosperity of the front beam building, the back beam building is more of a village and a field, although there are many guests coming and going from the north and south, but there are not many places to stay.
Lin Taohua and his party had a large number of people, and everyone in Izumo Mountain was accustomed to some mountains and wilderness, and their speeches and actions were full of gangsterism, which made these honest farmers very jealous, and directly closed the door to them to stay overnight.
This time it was Hu Jianyi and Wang Xiaomi from Izumo Mountain who went to call the door. Compared with Wang Xiaomi's gangsterism, Hu Jianyi is much more sophisticated, so after eating two closed-door soups, this matter of negotiating the night fell on his head.
After Hu Jianyi knocked on the door, he wanted to politely explain his intention, but the young woman who came to open the door saw his beard, and there was a centipede-like scar on the back of his hand, instinctively nervous, and then looked at Wang Xiaomi, wearing a wolf skin jacket, wearing a tiger skin hat, and a long strip of cloth wrapped around his back, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a knife in the hand of a robber, and the scared little lady was about to close the door without saying a word.
"Eh, don't close the door, we're ......"
With a snap, Hu Jian looked at the door and sighed, and said that Lao Tzu had a smile on his face, it must be that Wang Xiaomi's guy was too scary, so he turned his head and glared at him and said, "You better go back first." ”
Wang Xiaomi was also very depressed, he stood honestly, except for laughing, he didn't say a word.
In the distance, Lin Taohua could see clearly through the curtain of the car, and the corners of her mouth twitched and said directly to Bai Yuan: "Bai Yuan, you should go." ”
Bai Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Waste is waste, and you can't do it by borrowing a night." After saying that, he raised his feet and walked over.
There was a few knocks, and an honest man came out of the door, thinking that it was the husband of the little lady just now.
"Guest, my house is really crowded, and I can't accommodate so many of you, so you might as well find another place to live."
The words that Bai Yuan originally wanted to say were swallowed directly into his stomach, glared at Hu Jianyi, and the long sword in his hand came out of its sheath and was directly on the man's neck.
"Open the door or die?" She said coldly.
"......" Hu Jianyi and Wang Xiaomi were directly stupid.
"Oh my ancestors." Lin Taohua saw that the weapon was moved over there and called out directly, and she didn't care that her eyes were still red, so she lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
"Ma'am, slow down." The Huy people hurriedly got out of the car to help her.
Zhou Wencun wanted to let these mountain bandits see the intuitive view of the people under the mountain about them, so that they could change the bandit spirit they had cultivated for a long time, so he kept watching them run into a wall with a cold eye. Seeing what the white duck did at this time, he was speechless, and directly twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head.
"Hehe, your villa is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, what is the origin of this girl? It looks more unreasonable than us. Liu Shuang handed the pig's trotters to Brother Zheng'er and asked Zhou Wen with a smile.
Zhou Wen saw Lin Taohua pass by in person, so he smiled and said: "This white mandarin duck was not there when I went out, but judging by her words and deeds, she should be a killer, if I guessed correctly, it should be rationed to Peach Blossom by Yihuang Pavilion." ”
"What kind of business does Yihuang Pavilion do? It's not good to have something to do with a killer like them. Liu Shuang frowned.
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Yihuang Pavilion is a green building, but the pavilion master is good friends with my brother Ming's peach blossoms, and Bai Mandarin ducks are peach blossoms who insist on coming over." ”
"Hehe, Peach Blossom, this little girl is interesting, why is she still a woman still involved with Qinglou?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Wen also felt quite magical, so he smiled and told Liu Shuang about Lin Taohua's running to the Qinglou painting boat to dance for silver.
"I'll go out and have a look." Zhou Wen said to Liu Shuang with a smile and jumped out of the carriage.
Lin Taohua ran to the door of the house, directly knocked off the white mandarin's hand, and apologized to the man very ashamed, saying that the white mandarin duck practiced swords and practiced stupid brains, and liked to dance twice wherever he went, you must not be like her, and reached out and took five taels of silver from Hu Yiren and handed it to Hu Jianyi, asking him to stuff it into the man.
"We are really not bad people, we are businessmen who went to Qingzhou from Yuzhou to do business, and when we see that it is about to get dark, we will drag our children and daughters and ask our eldest brother to make it convenient." Lin Taohua said with a smile.
The man took the silver handed over by Hu Jianyi, and looked at Lin Taohua with red circles in his eyes very suspiciously.
"This little lady, you can't be coerced by them, right?" He asked Lin Taohua to speak, asked quietly, and said that he could help report to the official.
Lin Taohua's face was full of black lines, and she waved her hand and said, "Big brother, you are too worried, those are really my guards." ”
Zhou Wen stepped forward, saluted the man, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask your brother's surname?" ”
The man said: "Ninety percent of our Houliang Lou is surnamed Liang, and my name is Liang Feng." ”
Zhou Wen: "Brother Liang Feng is polite, under the surname Zhou, this is my brother and sister, and the rest are my family guards." We are here to go to Qingzhou to run business, not a villain, brother rest assured. ”
The man saw that Zhou Ming was polite and polite, and he really didn't look like bandits, so he believed them a little, and after hesitating for a moment, he let them into the courtyard.
"My house only has four rooms, so I'm afraid it's going to be crowded with so many of you." The man said.
Zhou Wen smiled: "It's okay, it's good to spend the night, let's leave tomorrow morning." ”
So, Lin Taohua, Hu Yiren, Bai Yuan, Jia Liushuang and Zheng Ge'er lived in one room, the two young women Qiao Niang and Yu Niang who came from Izumo Mountain, as well as Zhang Po and Wang Po, lived in one room, and a bunch of men in the other two rooms casually laid the floor and rested.
There was no fire in the village at night, but the people of Huy knew that Lin Taohua had to eat dinner, so they asked Liang Feng's wife for some hot water, thinking that she would make some fried noodles and sprinkle some sugar to make up for the night.
Mrs. Liang Feng didn't feel strange when she heard that it was a very beautiful lady who wanted to have dinner, and there were many people in the Liang Building in front of her mother's house who had the habit of eating dinner. She thought about it, gave the local eggs baked at noon at home to the Hu people, and asked her to bring them over to Lin Taohua.
Hu Ren took it with a smile, but he only muttered in his heart, what kind of black eggs can you really eat?
"Madam, it's simple outside, the main house doesn't turn on the fire at night, I asked you for some hot water, can I make some fried noodles for you and your grandmother and brother?" Hu Yiren asked Lin Taohua softly.
"Don't you all eat it? It's better to let the lady of the main family boil more hot water, and we will pay them more silver. "How could Lin Taohua not care about his companions.
Hu Yiren made fried noodles and handed them to her, and said with a smile: "There are many rivers on this side of Houliang Building, and few people store water, so it's dark now, and it's inconvenient to go out to fetch water." We people are used to skipping dinner, so you don't care about us. This native egg was given by the lady of the main family.,I haven't seen it.,Do you look at the habit of eating? ”
Lin Taohua took the bowl containing three round and black things, and approached the oil lamp to take a look.
Hey? Isn't this a potato? Lin Taohua suddenly became interested, put down the bowl, grabbed a black egg and tore the skin, and the familiar fragrance of potatoes wafted to the end of her nose.
"What a potato." Lin Taohua was delighted. This thing has never been seen in the bazaar, Lin Taohua thought that there was no here, or it grew elsewhere and had not yet spread to Jinguo, but he didn't expect to find it in this Houliang building on the border of Yuzhou and Qingzhou.
"You know?" Hu asked with a smile when he saw how eagerly she was eating.
Lin Taohua said with a smile: "I recognize, this thing is called a potato, the scientific name is potato, the main ingredient is starch, it is a very delicious and hungry thing." Hehe, I didn't expect someone to grow this thing here in Houliang Building, and I will inquire with the lady of the main family tomorrow. ”
"Yiren, Bai Yuan, you all come and taste it, although the baked potatoes don't taste good, they still taste quite fragrant. By the way, don't we still have sugar, take it and eat it? ”
While instructing the Huy people to fetch sugar, she was bent on peeling potatoes, regardless of whether her fingers were charred or not.
"Auntie, what are you eating?" Zhou Zheng, who had just finished washing up from his father, came over with his mother, and asked Lin Taohua curiously.
Lin Taohua had already lost her previous embarrassment, beckoned him to come over, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng'er, come here, my aunt will give you something good to eat." ”
Lin Taohua was stunned and snatched the dagger that Bai Yuan's treasured collection, divided the three potatoes into several petals, and then forked a piece of white sugar with chopsticks and handed it to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng first took a small bite, and then ate one piece after another with his eyes shining, fortunately, he remembered to leave a small piece for several adults in the house.
Liu Shuang saw the joy of his boy's eating, held a piece and quietly asked Bai Yuan: "Have you ever killed someone with that dagger?" ”
Bai Yuan looked back at her expressionlessly, "What do you say?" ”
Liu Shuang smiled, casually handed the potatoes in her hand to her stupid son, and said very kindly: "Mother doesn't eat it, give it to Brother Zheng'er." ”
Zhou Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said crisply: "Mother, you are so good." ”
Bai Yuan couldn't bear to look directly at her pit son's actions, and took a bite of the sugar-stained potato wedges with an expressionless face. For her, as long as she is not poisonous, she can eat it, so what does it matter if the knife is not stained with blood? Being able to be cut by her Xuan Bing is a blessing for this potato Sansheng.
