Steward Zhao went out of the grass market and got into a carriage, and the coachman was obviously quite familiar with him, and chatted with him while driving the car.

"Steward Zhao, have you bought a mushroom?"

Steward Zhao was in a good mood, and he was talking about sex, so he responded with a smile: "Yes, good luck, there are four catties of mushrooms." ”

The coachman couldn't hide his joy when he heard his tone, and couldn't help but persuade: "I heard that the girl was demoted to the Zhuangzi because she made a mistake, and I don't know when she will be able to go back, why are you so concerned?" Even the great steward ......"

Just to satisfy the girl's appetite, he ran back and forth like this, and he obviously felt that it was not worth it.

After all, the food was also exhausted, and she was never really treated badly.

And that girl was relegated to Zhuangzi was punished, where can she not get tired of eating like in her own clan?

Steward Zhao was not as uneven as the coachman, and he said in a light tone:

"The big steward has a backer in his clan, so naturally he doesn't have to rush to catch up with the girl who was degraded, but I don't have the power to take refuge, if she serves her well, she will turn over in the future, maybe she won't remember my goodness, at least not because of it, and hate me......"

He has no intention of fighting for power and profit, all he wants is peace and prosperity.

The carriage traveled all the way to what they called Zhuangzi.

When passing through the main gate, the carriage did not stop, and went straight forward for more than a mile, turned the corner, and walked for a long time before seeing a side door open there.

The coachman shouted, and someone immediately answered the door.

Steward Zhao carried the incense mushroom all the way to the house, and where he passed, he was guarded layer by layer.

When they saw him coming, those people did not greet him, they did not squint, and their faces were solemn.

These people all came with the girl, and I heard that it was the government army that protected the girl, and there were two hundred people.

It's just a girl who has fallen out of favor, but she can be treated like this, if she is a favored girl, I don't know what it will be.

After all, Zhao Guan has lived in Zhuangzi for a long time and has never seen the weather in his own clan.

But the great steward, every New Year's Day, can go to his own tribe to meet him.

This is the only dignity in this Zhuangzi.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw seven or eight people in it busy, and he coughed lightly before anyone noticed him.

The man in charge immediately put down the things in his hand and came out: "It turned out that Steward Zhao was here." ”

As he spoke, he saw the thing in his hand sharply, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it a mushroom?" ”

In the past two days, people have also been sent to the grass market in the kitchen, and there are still some ordinary mushrooms, but there are very few mushrooms, and they can't make up much.

To make ingredients, and to make mushroom powder, it has long been stretched.

The basket of mushrooms in Steward Zhao's hand can be regarded as a solution to his urgent need.

As he spoke, the man took the mushroom and looked at it carefully, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Steward Zhao was a little inexplicable: "Something?" ”

"Not really, but surprised."

"Where's the accident?"

"Mushrooms are not like ordinary mushrooms, they grow longer than rotten wood, and they are not common in the nearby mountains. And these mushrooms are very fresh, and if I guess correctly, the harvest time will not exceed half a day. ”

Steward Zhao didn't think much about it, and just said casually: "It can be seen that this person is lucky." ”

The man shook his head, and said no more, for good ingredients were enough for him, and he didn't want to think about what was hidden.

……

Yuan Jin'an in the grass market finished selling the mushrooms, and was about to leave, but listened to Yuan Yue's way: "Uncle An, you are alone with Baozhu and Chan'er, it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience on the road, it is better to wait for me to go back together." ”

When Yuan Jinan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Heshan in Yuan Lingchen's hand, which seemed to be sleeping, hesitated for a while, and responded.

Because Yuan Jin'an's sale of mushrooms has attracted a lot of attention, Yuan Yuezhi's things are also selling quickly.

When he closed the stall, he went home all the way home, during which Yuan Jinan and Yuan Yuezhi talked,

Yuan Baozhu would occasionally insert a sentence or two, but Yuan Lingchen never said a word.

Ever since Steward Zhao appeared, she was a little uneasy, and her eyelids were beating hard.

asked the system privately, but got the answer that there was no question about this Zhao steward.

But she always felt an inexplicable feeling, not ominous, just that maybe there would be some trouble.

Then she thought of Steward Zhao's temptation of her grandfather.

It is said that copper coins are weighed with scales, but in fact, copper coins are used to weigh scales.

As the steward of the Lu Mansion, that person may not be able to account for the gains and losses of a few pennies, but since he had the idea of letting them send mushrooms to Zhuangzi for a long time, he must have examined the conduct of their family.

Weighing the money may be just the beginning, what if he still doesn't feel comfortable calling someone to investigate?

Can they still hide the fact that they can grow mushrooms at home?

Then she vetoed this can be vetoed, they just met in Pingshui, there is nothing wrong, it should not let the people of the Lu Mansion bother to investigate.

As long as they don't send incense mushrooms to the Lu Mansion......

Thinking of this, her heart was pang again, and she thought of the imperial kitchen in the palace in her previous life.

Those experienced chefs can tell at a glance whether the ingredients are fresh or not.

It is even possible to accurately calculate the time of harvesting.

Their mushrooms are harvested in the morning and immediately delivered to the grass market.

If the cook of the Lu Mansion is a powerful one, he may not be able to see the strangeness.

Early in the morning, someone brings a large number of fresh mushrooms to the morning market, unless they go up the mountain overnight, they can't do it at all.

In such a situation, if you are a more cautious person, you will have to find out.

Back home, Yuan Lingchen couldn't help but tell Chen and Yuan Jinan about his guess.

Chen immediately furrowed his eyebrows: "Chan'er is not unreasonable. ”

"What can I do about this?"

"Take a step, look at a step, they don't necessarily have such a powerful cook in Zhuangzi, if they really have, it's not impossible."

At this time, Steward Zhao returned to the room, and when he thought of the cook's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He went to the grass market quite early, if the mushroom picking time was really within half a day, wouldn't he have to go up the mountain overnight to find it?

But can you find so many mushrooms at night?

Thinking about it like this, he felt that something was wrong, so he decided to investigate.

It's a pity that I didn't ask the old man about his origin, there are so many villages near the grass market, and it will take some effort to find that family.

Two days later, it was time for the grass market again, Yuan Jinan looked at the basket full of mushrooms, and couldn't help but worry: "Is today's grass market really going to go?" ”

Chen said decisively: "Chan'er said to go, then go, the matter of planting mushrooms can't be concealed at all, this yard of mushrooms always have to be sold, even if they are made into dried mushrooms, so many dried mushrooms are also suspicious, it is better to be frank and open, we are not traitors after all, we need to be sneaky." ”
