The shopkeeper immediately waved his hand: "Brother, don't be polite to me about wages, I'm a strong man, and I can't find anyone for a while, I'm grateful if you are willing to help, can you still deduct your wages?" ”

The old man wanted to say something more, but Fu Chenghai had already stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Okay brother, meeting is fate, since you and I meet here today, it can be regarded as a kind of creation, you should still accept the salary, besides, little brother, although I accepted you as a partner, I still don't know where your surname is?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiruo hurriedly walked up: "The little one's name is Lin Heng, and the one who lives in the two jujube trees at the gate of Linjia Village, ninety miles east of the city gate!" ”

"Oh? The little brother turned out to be from Linjia Village, this is really a big fate! ”

Lin Zhiruo tilted her head suspiciously: "Great fate? I just heard the shopkeeper say that his surname is Fu, he must not be a fellow villager in Linjia Village, is there someone close to him from Linjia Village? ”

Fu Chenghai immediately cast an approving glance at her: "The little brother is really talented, and he guessed it at once." That's right, the inner person is from Linjia Village, Linjiahe, now settled in Anyang City, she can rarely go back, and always think about a small fish swimming in Linjiahe, saying that the taste is very delicious, whether it is boiled or grilled, it has a unique flavor, I wonder if the little brother often goes to the Linjia River to fish? ”

Lin Zhiruo frowned when she heard this and said, "Lin Jiahe? I haven't heard of this place, presumably the Linjia Village in the hometown of my wife is only afraid that it is not the same as my family, our village only has a small stream and ditch on the back mountain, there are some shrimp and river crabs and the like There are no small fish, I have followed my companions up the mountain to catch shrimp since I was a child, but I have never heard of what Linjia River? Dad, you know what? ”

The old man Su Xian pretended to be also shook his head, and the doubts in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

Naturally, there is no Lin Jiahe in Linjia Village, this is just a lie made up by Fu Chenghai to test the father and son, if these two people are not from Linjia Village, they will definitely follow his words and make it up, but they showed a blank look and directly said what Linjia Village really looked like, and most of Fu Chenghai's doubts in his heart disappeared.

He also knows the creek ditch on the mountain behind Linjia Village, in order to do a good job in business when he was young, he can be regarded as going south and north to many places, among which the mountain goods of Linjia Village are relatively famous within a radius of dozens of miles, those nobles are used to eating mountain delicacies and sea delicacies, and occasionally they will be interested in some mountain goods, and he initially made a fortune by relying on these inconspicuous mountain goods and game.

"Oh? So it seems that I am mistaken, so little brother might as well tell me what your Linjia Village looks like? To be honest, business is getting more and more difficult to do now, the tastes of the nobles are getting more and more tricky, and the food sold in the market can no longer satisfy their appetite at all. ”

Although Fu Chenghai said it politely, Lin Zhiruo and Su Xian both knew that he was just testing their identities, and if this question was answered well, this lurking would be successful.

Lin Zhiruo had already prepared this question, the reason why they pretended to be the villagers of Linjia Village, the first was because it was 108,000 miles away from Anyang, and even if there was anything in the ancient times when the news was blocked, it was basically difficult to pass it on in a short time, and the second was because they had passed there in the process of arriving in Anyang.

In the face of Fu Chenghai's seemingly unintentional question, Lin Zhiruo and Su Xian's expressions did not change, but they just pretended to be very enthusiastic and talked to Fu Chenghai about Linjia Village.

After talking about several more prominent places in the village, Lin Zhiruo pretended not to be aware of Fu Chenghai's intentions and deliberately said a few places that few people knew about, and his words were full of dislike and disparage for the small mountain village.

Of course, as his father, "Su Xian" is naturally a very angry image with a blowing beard, staring at her, and she has been counting her and saying that she forgot her roots.

The father and son almost quarreled again over whether Linjia Village was a good place, but fortunately, Fu Chenghai's purpose was not to understand what Linjia Village was like, he just wanted to verify whether these two people really came from there.

Now seeing that the two of them don't look like they're lying, the doubts in their hearts suddenly let go completely, interrupting the argument between the two and talking about their work.

"You can be so noisy with me, if you go to the customer's place later, you must not make a loud noise, just follow everyone to move things in, you know?"

Seeing Fu Chenghai's serious expression, Lin Zhiruo and Su Xian didn't dare to make another attempt, so they agreed repeatedly.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I know that the rules of those big families are very heavy, when I was a child, I went to Liu Yuanwai's house in the town with my father, and I can be regarded as having seen the world, and I won't be so ignorant!" Lin Zhiruo patted her chest triumphantly, looking confident.

Su Xian next to him also looked like he was right, and he was a little smug and straightened his chest and thought so.

Fu Chenghai was amused by his appearance, and hurriedly admonished: "The Liu Yuanwai family in your town can't compare with the family we are going to today, that is the imperial master, the status of one person under ten thousand people, and it is also a famous family in our Anyang County, you must not be rude." ”

Lin Zhiruo blinked her eyes ignorantly: "Master? Sounds very powerful, will it be richer than Liu Yuanwai in our town? ”

Fu Chenghai shook his head with a smile, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the old man to take the first step and slap the young man on the back of the head.

"What kind of stupid words, Meng Taishi is a big official in the capital, and Liu Yuanwai is just a rich businessman, how can he compare with Master Taishi!"

Hearing this, Fu Chenghai nodded secretly, he didn't expect this young man to understand anything, but this old man had seen some of the world, but his next words made Fu Chenghai almost fall down directly with unstable feet.

"No matter how you say it, it's almost like a prefectural order!" As he spoke, the old man glanced at his son with a little disdain.

Lin Zhiruo nodded with a sudden realization of her clothes, and her eyes showed her admiration for her father for the first time: "County order? That's very majestic, or my father has insight, and even the Taishi knows it, it's amazing! ”

The look on the old man's face was a little more proud: "Stinky boy, learn a little, don't think that you are great when you enter the city, your father and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten!" ”
