Chapter 115: Pursuit

"Woohoo!" The dog suddenly barked towards the door.

"Sister Yue, you're back!"

Xiao An, who was sitting in front of the newly built stove in the courtyard and watching the fire, turned his head and said to the few people who were busy talking in the courtyard.

Sure enough, with a "bang", after counting three times in his mouth, the courtyard door was vigorously pushed open.

"I'm back!"

"Know you're back—do you have a grudge against your door? Can't you be a little more showy when you open the door? Liu Dakang, who was loading zongzi into the basket, straightened up and scolded lightly.

He hadn't been home for a few days, and he came back early today, so he came directly to Jiang's house to help.

In addition to habitually coming over to report to his master, of course, he will not miss this great opportunity to contact Yun Niang.

"Brother Kang, you're back!" When Jiang Han saw that it was him, the smile on his face became even brighter, "Brought me a few lists?" ”

In the past few days, she went to the acquaintances at the dock again, but only got back a small order of five or ten strings of zongzi.

It also includes five strings of rice dumplings from Uncle Niu's house.

She originally planned to give him ten strings of zongzi like Zhao Zhukuai, and told the public that he ordered them, so as to attract others to place orders.

However, Uncle Niu is not the kind of person who will take advantage of her, so he insisted on giving her the money for five skewers of meat dumplings in advance.

For his thoughtfulness, she was so moved in her heart.

Now she can't repay it for the time being, she just wants to pay more attention to his family in the future to see if there is anyone who can help.

"Don't expect too much, there are only seven people who ordered a few strings of zongzi!"

When Jiang Han heard this, he looked at the four baskets placed on the side of the door panel table, except for the one that Liu Dakang was loading, the other three were piled up into a small hill, not to mention two hundred.

At the wooden table, Yun Niang, Aunt and her father were still packing, and there were three small piles in front of no one......

Today is the first day of the new year, and the goods of Dr. Qiu and Uncle Niu have been sent away.

The goods of Million Rice Restaurant are fixed, in order not to affect the steamed buns at night, Yun Niang and Father Jiang will wrap and cook them during the day, together with the amount she sells in Washi every morning - for this reason, Yun Niang has been busy for several days without doing embroidery work.

Since the 29th, after the inspection department went to suppress the bandits with great fanfare, her popularity of the activity of "buying zongzi and transporting peace charms" has been getting worse day by day.

In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and it is indeed as she expected, there are many sellers of bean dumplings and meat dumplings in Luoxia Town, although the taste is not as good as theirs, and there is no gimmick from her, but it still robs some business.

In the early morning of these two days, it would be good if she could sell 80 to 100 zongzi.

Therefore, presumably these are Liu Dakang's orders.

Jiang Han looked at the basket of stacks of wrapped zongzi and squinted his eyes.

She walked to the table with the burden, unloaded the empty basket, patted Liu Dakang on the shoulder, and said, "Auntie, they are all your orders now, right?" It's a lot, it's good! ”

"Sister, you're wrong, Brother Liu has just entered the door not long ago, and we haven't prepared his list yet!" Yun Niang took the time to look up and smile at her, "These are the two orders we received from Auntie, one family wants two hundred bean dumplings, and the other one wants one hundred bean dumplings and two hundred meat dumplings!" ”

"Wow, auntie, you're amazing! You're simply my idol, and if you don't make a move, you're already a big deal! Jiang Han's eyes widened, and he excitedly walked over and hugged Aunt Liu's neck, "Let's chirp" and kiss her.

"Go, no shame, such an adult, what are you tired of holding my neck?" Aunt Liu slapped her hand away angrily, with a smile in her eyes.

As she spoke, she also glanced at Liu Dakang on the side, but unfortunately Liu Dakang said with disgust: "No shame! ”

"Are you jealous, jealous of me and my aunt!" Jiang Han glared at him proudly, and then praised him with a smile, "My aunt is a sales genius, I am really much weaker than you!" ”

I think she has been busy on Xixia Street for so many days, and she is a set of almost, and she is sending sample zongzi, and she was also a good meal by the Wang shopkeeper for this, except for the list of Million Restaurant and Dr. Qiu, no shop has ordered her zongzi.

If that's all it takes, it's too much, every time those people see her on the street, they actually subconsciously hide in the store, as if she is a flood beast, which makes her depressed.

"Hmph, you are more ironclad than your aunt! - You usually ignore others, but suddenly you become warm with others, and others will guard against you in the first place! Father Jiang glanced at her and said bluntly.

"Our zongzi is more expensive than others, and your actions will make people think that you are trying to be bad, and how many people can calm down and seriously compare whether this expensive penny is worth it?"

"Hey, Daddy is right!" Jiang Han stuck out his tongue and smiled at him, "Hit the nail on the head, my daughter remembers it!" ”

"I hope you really remember!" Father Jiang sighed earnestly.

Jiang Han smiled and stopped talking.

Now, she has woken up.

In the eyes of outsiders, what she did was too eager for quick success.

For a person like her, in the eyes of those profit-seeking shopkeepers, she will not be easily trusted, unless she can give enough attractive benefits.

Therefore, in the final analysis, although she speaks in a set of ways, it seems to be very good, but it is easy to be superficial and not very convincing.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Han skipped the topic and asked about the progress of Liu Dakang's investigation.

"Brother Da Kang, how is the investigation of your disappearance? Now the inspection department has escorted back a large group of bandits, but they show their faces very much! I was in the teahouse one day today, but I heard a lot of people say that the inspection department is much better than you! ”

"There has been some progress, and a few suspected traffickers have been arrested, but the clues they have confessed - the suppression of bandits has long been the responsibility of the inspection department, they are just doing their job well, and there is nothing to boast about! Previously, Shen Shen had been making all kinds of excuses to drag not up the mountain, which was a dereliction of duty! Liu Dakang looked disappreciative.

Then he said: "By the way, mother, master, this year's bandits, Luoxia Town seems to be not racing dragon boats, you might as well go to the county to see the excitement on the fifth day of the new year!" ”

"Will the county race dragon boats?" Xiao An by the stove asked with bright eyes.

"Yes, this year should be more lively than usual! I heard that several villages near Luoxia Town also had teams to participate. At that time, many people from the town will have to go to the county! ”

Everyone was happy when they heard this.

Jiang Han was also very excited, and only listened to her: "Great! Yun Niang, let's make some zongzi buns and take them with us that day, and then make some vegetable burritos, and there will definitely be hungry people who will buy them! By the way, you can also make some fried fruits, which this kid likes the most! ”

"You're really inseparable from these things!" Liu Dakang said disdainfully.

"There's no way, I'm poor, I have to bend my waist for five buckets of rice!"

……

In the backyard of the Inspection Division at the same time, in Lu Tong's house, Lord Shen and Lu Tong were worried about another matter.

"Will there be a reward for this operation?"

Lu Tong leaned on the couch, and his injured right foot rested on the footstool next to the couch.

Lord Shen sat at the table drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he asked coldly, "What do you think?" ”

"I don't think there will be, and even if there is, there won't be much in your hands!"

"Knowingly asked."

He raised his eyebrows and changed the question: "In this operation, the casualties are so large, the pension should be fine, right?" ”

"There's a problem."

Lord Shen couldn't help frowning, thinking of the conversation with Chen County Commander in the county government today, it was obvious that the county commander just wanted to push things up, and the county government would not compensate first.

When the matter is reported and the pension is approved, I don't know what year and month it will be.

The problem is that it is still unknown whether it will be able to reach the families of these casualties at that time.

"What then? Do you want to pay for it yourself? Where did you get the money? Lu Tong unconsciously sat up straight, asked worriedly, and then said with a tiger face, "I can warn you, don't beat me again, you still haven't paid back the money you owe me before!" ”

Lord Shen glanced at him, threw him a slightly calm look, and said, "Don't worry, the Huang Gang is rich!" ”

"That's right!" Lu Tongda breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, can you keep the money they stole from the underground gambling house? Won't the county order let you turn it in? ”

"What's the point of handing it in? Count in my hand! ”

In this incident, he was going to copy all the properties of the Huang Gang.

I don't know that Lin Wanli has some skills.

He sent Chen Ergou to charge, but he kept himself in the back hand, not only took himself out of this matter, but also invited the people behind Lihongyuan and the merchant ship in time.

In this way, it is inevitable that the involvement is too great, and he can only temporarily let go of the two industries of him and the Huang Gang.

Thanks to his quick action at the underground gambling house managed by Chen Ergou, otherwise, he might not be able to get a penny.

After going down the mountain that day, the first year of junior high said that he was coming back to invite a doctor, but in fact, he took the remaining 20 people from the inspection department and went to the gambling house overnight.

Seeing this, Lu Tong's eyes lit up, he propped himself up, jumped to sit beside him, and asked shyly, "Then how much did you copy?" Can I have a copy? ”

"It's not much, it's enough to pay off the arrears!" Lord Shen glanced at him and said.

"The arrears are the arrears, but I was injured for this banditry operation, you won't just pay me back the arrears, and give nothing else, right?"

"This injury is your fault, who made you so reckless?" Lord Shen glanced at him and said deliberately.

"Hey, you're not really going to leave me a penny, are you?" Lu Tong said angrily.

"It's up to you to behave." Lord Shen sold Guanzi.

Watch him perform? Is this what you want him to do?

Lu Tonghu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You, what are your crooked ideas?" ”

Lord Shen looked at him, took a sip of tea, and said quietly, "Leave four people behind." ”

Leave four? What left the four?

Lu Tong glared at him inexplicably.

After a while, I finally understood what he meant.

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to the dozen or so guards who had saved them in a hurry.

"That's my father's proud guard, you and my father are going to go! What's the use of talking to me? Speaking of this, he smiled gloatingly, "But my father, it may not be for you!" ”

"I've written to my brother! Just in case, if you go to your mother to write a letter again, your father will listen to her words. ”

"Why don't you write it yourself? My mother is your senior sister, hasn't she always praised you for being better than me? Wouldn't you be better than I am with her? ”

"But polite words, do you believe it?" Lord Shen put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said, "Don't write, don't think about the money!" ”
