Chapter 37: Unexpected News

Soon, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came over and brought a pot of cold sour plum soup to Deng Yueru and the others.

"Come, try this sour plum soup, it's delicious. There is a deep well in the small courtyard behind this, and their sour plum soup is chilled in the deep well to cool down, and it is very comfortable to drink this summer, which is refreshing and thirst-quenching. ”

Poured a glass of sour plum juice for Deng Yueru and Shuangxi, Duan Yu also poured a cup himself, took a big sip, and immediately sighed comfortably.

After the introduction of the talkative Duan Yu, Deng Yueru learned that the family of the store came from the Western Regions, and the family lived in the small courtyard at the back.

They came to Yunzhou Mansion more than ten years ago, and then settled in Fuyun Town, where they lived for ten years, and they have always been selling barbecue here. Because the seasoning they use is unique and tastes good, business has been great.

"So, they brought the cumin powder for their barbecue from their hometown."

After listening to Duan Yu's words, Deng Yueru nodded, indicating that she understood.

The smell of cumin is fragrant, especially the taste mixed with grease and grilled, which penetrates into people's noses and stimulates people's sense of smell. Deng Yueru sat down and drank two sips of sour plum juice, and finally suppressed the excitement of smelling the familiar taste again.

It may be that it is not yet time to eat, and there are still relatively few people who come to eat barbecue, and after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the barbecue skewers are served one after another.

Deng Yueru picked up a skewer of barbecue and took a big bite directly, the barbecue was marinated very delicious, sprinkled with cumin powder and chili powder, and it tasted almost no different from modern ones.

Deng Yueru was very satisfied with the taste of this barbecue, so she threw off her cheeks and ate it. Originally, Duan Yu felt that he was a man with two petite girls, and he was afraid that he would not be able to finish ordering so many meat skewers, but he didn't expect that Deng Yueru would eat thirty skewers of mutton skewers, six skewers of chicken wings, and one roasted corn......

"Hehe, Miss Deng, are you full? If you're not full, we'll order some more skewers. ”

Looking at the plate that had already eaten only bamboo skewers, Duan Yu hurriedly asked.

"No, just eat these, I'd like to try other snacks."

Touching her stomach, Deng Yueru waved her hand at Duan Yu with satisfaction.

"Hehe, Deng, Miss Deng can still eat other things?"

Duan Yu was taken aback by Deng Yueru's words, he didn't expect such a petite fairy sister to be so edible.

Looking at Duan Yu's forced smile when she was frightened by Deng Yueru, Shuangxi couldn't help but steal fun. Deng Yueru glared at Shuangxi, and then looked at Duan Yu.

"Okay, we don't need you to accompany us next, let's just go shopping by ourselves. You, let's hurry up and go home with your precious inkstone, be careful not to be retaliated by Gou Tiancheng. ”

"It's okay, my family is not only rich, my father also has a few friends who are officials, Gou Tiancheng They don't dare to come to my house to make trouble easily, I just need to hide at home for a few days and it'll be fine." But you, aren't you afraid of offending the Gou family? Gou Tiancheng, his uncle is the magistrate of Qingyun County. ”

Laughing, Duan Yu was not too worried about Gou Tiancheng's revenge on him. Although their family is only a landlord's family, it seems that his father also has some official friends, otherwise after so many years, their family would not be able to live so comfortably in this Fuyun Town.

"Haha, we're not afraid of his revenge, we're ......"

Shuangxi laughed, and was about to say that we were bandits, but was interrupted by Deng Yueru.

"We don't live in Fuyun Town, it's around here, there are so many villages around Fuyun Town, they can't find us so easily."

Glaring at Shuangxi secretly, Deng Yueru stood up and said goodbye to Duan Yu.

"This barbecue is good today, thank you for your treat. Next, we have to buy something, so let's go first, you should go back quickly, be careful that the inkstone is robbed again. ”

After saying that, without waiting for Duan Yu to say anything, Deng Yueru pulled Shuangxi and walked away.

After leaving Duan Yu behind, Deng Yueru and Shuangxi walked around the bazaar, bought some snacks and watched while walking.

Because Fuyun Town is the closest town close to the Luoyun Mountain Range, there are many small villages around, so there is a large flow of people in the town. Although the town is small, it is well equipped, and there are a lot of vendors in the market, which is particularly lively, and sells everything.

In addition to selling rice, flour, grain, oil and various vegetables, there are also those selling animal meat, animal skins, wild honey, wild ginseng and various medicinal herbs. Deng Yueru walked around, but she didn't buy anything except some snacks and medicinal herbs to nourish her body.

After shopping for a long time, Deng Yueru and Shuangxi's bodies began to sweat again, and the two walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks, and began to sit down to rest.

"Hey, have you heard about the Qian family?"

There were a lot of people in the teahouse, and Deng Yueru and Shuangxi sat in the corner by the window. There were three people sitting at a table next to it, and one of them in blue asked the other two in a low voice.

Deng Yueru's five senses are now several times stronger than ordinary people, and her ear power is naturally not bad, although the other party lowered her voice, it was still very clear to her.

"Why haven't you heard that the Qian family is really unlucky! I thought I was going to make a fortune, but who knew that I ended up with a ruined family! ”

The other man in black shook his head, with a look of emotion and helplessness.

But the third person in gray looked at the two friends a little confused.

"What are you talking about? What is the matter of the Qian family, why don't I know? ”

"You haven't been away lately, so you haven't heard of it. It is the Qian family in a town around Qingyun County, his family was originally a large family owning a mountain forest, and later accidentally found that there were ore veins on the mountain, or iron ore reserves were good.

Originally, this was nothing, although the state did not allow private trading of iron ore, but as long as the Qian family filed with the government, it would be a good income to resell it to the government in the future. But it's a pity! ”

After a brief explanation of the matter, the man in blue then sighed.

"What a pity? This kind of thing has not happened before, haven't people made a lot of money? Why, did this Qian family want to sell iron ore privately, so their house was raided? ”

Aroused by the curiosity of the man in blue, the man in gray saw that the other party stopped, and asked hurriedly.

"If he sells iron ore privately, then the bad luck is also self-inflicted, so we won't sigh. But the problem is that after the Qian family found the iron mine, they honestly went to the government for the record, but then the government sent someone to seal the Qian family, saying that they dug iron ore privately and sold it to neighboring countries, which was a major crime of treason, and everyone in the Qian family was imprisoned.

Just ten days ago, dozens of people in the Qian family had all been beheaded, and no one was spared! It's so pathetic! ”

The man in black shook his head and sighed to finish the second half of the matter, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
