Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Villain's Ambition
The fat and thin duo and the jujube red horse were all tossed and disarmed, only the fat shopkeeper in the car was wearing a fox fur with a hand stove, and he had not suffered at all.
He raised the curtain of the car and glanced at the somewhat dilapidated mountain village not far away, a trace of doubt and disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he opened his mouth and instructed Yang Jiu, "Go find someone and ask someone who can grow vegetables here, if your news is wrong, see if the owner doesn't pick your skin!"
"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, wait a minute." Yang Jiu scolded in his heart, this old immortal obviously patted his chest with the owner last night to guarantee the ticket, and at this moment, when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately pushed the blame on his head, which was really treacherous and hateful.
He cursed in his heart, but his subordinates still handed the reins to the fat man, and then jumped out of the car to find someone to investigate.
In winter, there are strong winds and heavy snowfall, and most of the peasant families hide in the warm houses to do some small work, and few people come out to walk around. If it was in the past, Yang Jiu was afraid that he would have to knock on the door to see a personal shadow, but today he should be lucky, he only walked a dozen steps to raise his leg and saw a young descendant turn on the path next to him.
This man wore a big dogskin hat to cover half of his face, and he was wrapped in a black cloth and cotton jacket like a hemp pole, and his body turned into a winter melon. He put his hands in his sleeves, and walked forward while humming a small tune while shrinking his neck, but as if he accidentally stepped on a piece of ice under his feet, he fell with Yang Jiu who was about to speak.
Yang Jiu was so angry in his heart, he went out today to change the new padded jacket, and he didn't wait for him to grow a long face in front of people, so he was actually destroyed in the hands of this soil bun first.
He was annoyed, and his men used all their strength to push the young young student aside, and got up with a black face and slapped the snow marks.
Gou Yu'er slept well last night, and after getting up in the morning, he drank two bowls of bud porridge and pickles with his father and brother and sister, and he complained that his father and mother were stingy when the stomach was overflowing, and so many hens in the family were reluctant to kill one and stew and eat.
Zhang Erke was counting on those hens to lay eggs in exchange for money to buy wine and drink, and when he heard his son's words, he was naturally furious, and snatched his son's dishes and chopsticks and kicked him out of the house.
The dog leftover blew a cold wind outside the yard for a while, and he also regretted that he shouldn't have angered his father. Although the food at home is not good, it is always warmer than outside.
But when he wanted to turn around and admit his mistake, he felt that he couldn't pull his face, so he planned to go to the next village to find those like-minded friends.
He walked outside the village while wishful thinking, not wanting to actually fall on his heels and hit someone, this kid squinted his triangular eyes and glanced at Yang Jiu's dress, and immediately guessed that this was an outsider.
His two little yellow eyes spun around a few times, then he hugged his right leg and shouted, "Who is this, don't take the road, you want to hit me!" Oh, my leg, I'm afraid it's broken..."
Before Yang Jiu was admitted to Fuguilou, he was also a little ruffian who had been in the market for a few years, not to mention how many such tricks he had seen, even he himself had used them countless times.
At this time, he was suddenly deducted by someone like this and hurt the big hat, he was really ridiculously happy in his heart, stepped forward and kicked the dog's buttocks, and sneered, "Don't pretend, you are wronged to be an uncle!" Hurry up, our shopkeeper has something to ask you, and you will be rewarded for answering well. ”
After he said this, he turned slightly sideways and let Gou Yu'er look at the big carriage not far away, and sure enough, Gou Yu'er seemed to be completely ill immediately, and quickly got up and ran to the carriage to bow and knot.
"The small one salutes the nobleman, and the noble man has something to order, and the small one must be smeared with liver and brain, and he will not give up."
The fat shopkeeper heard that someone outside the car was answering so indecently, so he raised the curtain of the car again and glanced contemptuously at the flattering dog leftover, and then asked slowly, "Are you from this Nangouer Village?" ”
"Yes, yes, the small ones are born and raised in this Nangou village, and everyone in this village is familiar with everything small." The dog stared at the gilded hollow hand stove in the fat shopkeeper's hand, and his eyes wished that a small hook would grow to snatch this good object back, and when he saw the fine brocade robe and fox fur on his body, his waist unconsciously bent even more.
The fat shopkeeper tightened his grip to block the cold wind coming in through the car door, and asked, "Okay, then let me ask you, is there a vegetable grower in your village?" It's not in the summer, but it's in the winter, and the vegetables are grown and sold to restaurants in the city. ”
Gou Yu'er heard these words, obviously stunned for a moment, he originally thought that these people came to the village to collect fur and mountain goods, but he didn't expect that they actually came to the uncle's shed of vegetables.
Speaking of the greens in the shed, it is a big fat meat, and a bite can fill your mouth with oil. It's a pity that his father and mother were so anxious that they offended the little widow and her cousins so much that the little widow would rather give up this wealth to the people of the village than let their family follow it.
Every time he thinks about it, he doesn't sleep well or eat well, but today someone came to inquire about it, maybe it was really an opportunity, he planned one or two in it, and he couldn't say that he could get some benefits.
The fat shopkeeper is also a shrewd man, seeing that the dog's face is changing and his eyes are flickering, he knows that he must know something about this. So his face changed from arrogant, and he tried his best to pretend to be gentle and smiled, "Little brother, don't think too much, we are here to discuss business." If the little brother can really show us the way and say a few words, we will definitely not treat the little brother badly. ”
He is so skillful at playing face-changing tricks, hoping to deceive the stupid dirt buns, and he may be able to dig up a lot of useful information.
It's a pity that Gou Yu'er is an outlier among farmers, and his talent for acting is also extremely high, and he knows the truth that if he doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, how can he be easily fooled. I saw that his face was full of embarrassment at some point, and he sighed, "It stands to reason that if a noble person asks such a question, the little one naturally knows everything." But the village elders have issued a gag order, and they can't easily tell outsiders that this... Well, it's hard for the little ones too. The small family is very poor, and they rely on the help of the village people to get by, and the little ones dare not disobey the orders of the village elders..."
Fat Palm heard that he bit the word "poverty" very hard, how he didn't know his intentions, he immediately waved his hand and summoned Yang Jiu to him, and ordered, "I'm afraid that this little brother hurt his leg just now, and it's ours to talk about it, give him two taels of silver to keep for medicine to nourish his body in the future." ”
Yang Jiu immediately smiled and took out two pieces of broken silver from his purse and stuffed them into the dog's hand, and said, "Little brother, I really couldn't help it just now, you take this silver, buy more delicious food to replenish your body." ”
Gou Yu'er said a few words, but he squeezed the silver tightly in his hand, and finally said, "Since the shopkeeper is so benevolent and righteous, I can't hide it." Speaking of which, the family of that kind of dish is my uncle's family, but the uncle and aunt died early, and there is only a little sister-in-law left in the family to live with her cousin, and this green vegetable is grown by the sister-in-law. ”
"Oh, this is a coincidence, we were about to talk to the Zhang family about business when we met the Zhang family's own brother." The fat shopkeeper heard that this treacherous boy was a relative of the vegetable grower, and his tone immediately became warm, and he greeted, "It's snowing outside, come, Brother Zhang, please come into the car and talk." ”
The dog was not polite, and climbed into the carriage with the silver. He lived for more than ten years and sat in the carriage for the first time, so his eyes were naturally full of curiosity to look around and praise.
The fat shopkeeper barely managed to contain the disdain in his eyes, and said with a smile, "The little brother is a blessed man, guarding the family that can grow vegetables, and he will definitely make a fortune in the future. ”
Gou Yu'er remembered Pucao's defense of their family, his face stiffened for a moment, but he immediately covered it up, and said with a smile, "What the shopkeeper said is that next year we will definitely build a shed at home to grow vegetables, and the shopkeeper will take care of it more at that time." ”
"That's natural," the fat shopkeeper smiled, "Our Fuguilou is one of the best restaurants in the city, and I came to buy vegetables on the orders of the owner this time, so I can't say that I have to give the little brother's family a lot of money." ”
The dog leftovers pinched the broken silver in his arms, his eyes were red with jealousy, and he muttered to himself, no matter what, he would make a profit from it this time. Thinking like this, he pretended to be helpless and said, "I'm afraid the shopkeeper is late, my sister-in-law has already sold the vegetables to other restaurants in the city." She is a stubborn person, and she will not change her mind. However, she can listen to my father's mother's words..."
The fat shopkeeper understood, and immediately responded, "Then bother the little brother to guide the way, let's go to the Lingzun Lingtang first." If we Fuguilou negotiated this vegetable deal, we must thank the little brother's family. ”
The dog leftover waited around for this sentence, so he lifted the curtain of the car and shouted Yang Jiu to drive into the village, scolding for a while that there was a ditch on the left, and then saying that there was a stone on the right, and there was still a little humility in his tone, completely looking like a villain.
Yang Jiu secretly scolded this dirt bun in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted this idiot to help, he would have ripped the person off and discounted his legs.
Dog leftovers are idle on weekdays and have some shameful vices, so they are very popular in the village. Naturally, he knew this in his heart, and he was angry and hated but couldn't change it.
Today, he was invited into the carriage by the fat shopkeeper like this, and when he sat high and got on again, he felt that he had finally found an opportunity to raise his eyebrows, and commanded Yang Jiu to walk around every street in the village.
The fat shopkeeper counted on his efforts as a local snake, and reluctantly endured the impatience in his heart, and even praised him from time to time, which provoked the dog's tail to rise to the sky.
In the village, there are mothers-in-law who go out to carry firewood or old men who carry shovels to shovel snow, and it is strange to see a carriage moving in front of the door from a distance. When they saw the dog Yu'er sticking his head out of the window and saying hello loudly, they frowned even more, and they couldn't guess when the harm in Nangou Village had happened, and they all got into the big carriage.
In this way, the dog leftover walked all the way and stirred up the village, and he realized that he was too addicted, and finally turned to his house to find his father.
