Today is the palace test in the capital, and there are occasional officers and soldiers parading on the streets. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiang He didn't go out to read at home, he had already removed the last piece of gauze on his body, except for a small scar on his face that was not very obvious, and it was completely impossible to see that he was a seriously injured person five days ago.

In the past two days, Hu Xiaoliu did not visit again, only the young man ran back and forth a few times, and handed over a household registration paper stamped with the seal of the household department to Jiang He, Jiang He couldn't help but smile dumbly with this household registration system made of special materials, thinking that he had actually become a "southerner" with a household registration.

After Jiang He finished meditating, he picked up a broom and began to clean the room, and then began to boil water and cook.

When the rice in the pot was about to be cooked, Hu Xiaoliu came to the courtyard of Jianghe again. Holding a pot of wine in his hand and a paper-wrapped mahogany roast duck.

Jiang He fried a plate of small green vegetables, and the two sat in the courtyard to drink together.

"Why does the shopkeeper always like to come to my place for dinner? "Jiang He sandwiched a piece of roast duck, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, which is very refreshing.

Hu Xiaoliu smiled, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Mr. Jiang is elegant here, and those guys who are eating in the shop are upsetting me." ”

He drank the wine in one gulp, and then said, "Eating is always a big deal, and you can't be careless." Then he pointed to the roast duck on the table with chopsticks and said: "Just like this peach wood roast duck, only the one on White Horse Street in the west of the city is the most authentic, and the others are roasted with jujube wood and pear wood." ”

After speaking, he talked about how to roast duck to Jianghe science, what kind of stuffed duck to choose, and what kind of heat is the most suitable to roast it.

Jiang He listened to him, silently gnawed the two duck legs, and said in his heart that it was indeed very fragrant.

By the time Hu Xiaoliu finished speaking, Jiang He had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the book and started reading, and he no longer talked about etiquette with Hu Xiaoliu.

"Shopkeeper Hu, you eat slowly, I can read a book. After speaking, he ignored Hu Xiaoliudi's eyes and began to look at the "History of the Southern Country" in his hand.

Hu Xiaoliu was so tasteless that he didn't continue to speak, so he had to drink and eat roast duck by himself.

"Mr. Jiang and I will go shopping later. Hu Xiaoliu chewed on the duck meat and said vaguely.

Jiang He didn't look up, and replied, "What is there to visit, don't go." ”

Hu Xiaoliu slapped the table, startling Jiang He, and he said righteously: "There are many flowers in this city that you haven't seen before, and I will take you to a good place to visit!" After speaking, he looked at Jiang He with a face that you know how to look.

Jiang He naturally knew what he was referring to, so he refused even more righteously.

In the end, Hu Xiaoliu said: "I rented this yard to you." ”

Jiang He stared at him and said, "I have signed the lease deed, and it will be mine." ”

Hu Xiaoliu smiled indifferently and said, "I don't know if the security around here is good or not." ”

。

Jiang He finally followed Hu Xiaoliu out of the door, Hu Xiaoliu walked swaggering in front, Jiang He thought that it was time for him to find some ways to make money, otherwise he would be threatened by Hu Xiaoliu all day long and would one day be unable to help but raise a knife to each other, but he couldn't beat him, thinking of this, Jiang He felt that this bright and sunny day was his eyes, and he wanted to cry without tears.

And Hu Xiaoliu did not take Jiang He to Qinglou Kiln, but took Jiang He all the way to Yanxing Gate in the east of the city.

Jiang He was very puzzled, but he still walked behind Hu Xiaoliu.

Walking all the way from Dongzhi Street to Jinhuafang, the shop owners on the street greeted Hu Xiaoliu and Jiang He, and finally, Hu Xiaoliu took Jiang He from Jinhuafang to Dongzhi Street from another road.

Jiang He felt inexplicable, so he asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, what are we doing here?

Hu Xiaoliu turned his head to look at him, and then replied, "Mr. Jiang, did you know how many streets we walked just now, and how long it was?"

Jiang He thought to himself, does this have anything to do with my problem?

But he replied word by word: "Three long streets, five short streets, we have walked for about an hour, about ten miles. ”

Hu Xiaoliu nodded and continued: "Fourteen miles away." ”

Jiang He was puzzled, "And then?"

Hu Xiaoliu didn't answer him, he stood in front of the courtyard of Jianghedi, looked at the courtyard gate, and then said, "I think this door is a little smaller." ”

Jiang He listened to his donkey's answer to the horse's mouth, and wondered if he had injured his brain in the battle that night.

Hu Xiaoliu then looked at the big mulberry tree in the courtyard and said, "This tree also occupies a place, so you can only move it." ”

Jiang He finally couldn't help it and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, what are you going to do?"

Hu Xiaoliu smiled, and then said to Jiang He: "Mr. Jiang, how about turning this courtyard into a shop?"

"Why?"

Hu Xiaoliu looked at him and said, "Mr. Jiang also sent me a painting, by the way, Miss also asked when you would send the painting to him." ”

Jiang He didn't answer him, he looked at the courtyard in front of his door and the mulberry tree that had grown out of the courtyard, and finally said: "There are many painters in this capital, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the eyes of the world." ”

Hu Xiaoliu smiled lightly and said, "How can you know if you don't try." ”

。

The last group of gangsters rushed into Jianghe's yard, smashed the wall and moved trees, and the neighbors around poked their heads out, thinking that there were bandits in Jianghe's house, but when they saw Hu Xiaoliu standing outside the courtyard, they shrank back to their homes.

Jiang He looked at the unrecognizable demolition of "his" yard, and still felt a little, he looked at Hu Xiaoliu, and then asked: "Shopkeeper Hu, I still don't understand your question just now." ”

Jiang He referred to Hu Xiaoliu's question about his journey, and he thought about it carefully for a long time, but he still didn't understand.

Hu Xiaoliu smiled, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the intersection pointing to the east, and returned: "From this day on, from this Dongzhi Street all the way to Jinhuafang Qili Road, all the shops and houses on the street are under the control of you, Mr. Jiang." ”

Jiang He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's under my control, what am I going to do? Carry the bluestone bricks to smash the door to collect rent?"

Hu Xiaoliu laughed, thinking that Jiang He's answer was very interesting, and then put his hands behind his back and tiptoed comfortably, and continued: "Mr. Jiang, you don't really care, just open your painting shop in this place." ”

Then he continued: "Of course, it wasn't me who gave you this seven-mile long street, it was the ghost master. ”

Jiang He thought about it, he didn't have to worry about anything when he opened a shop, it was indeed light, but he still didn't want to take it, in case something went wrong on the street, or something went wrong with his subordinates, it was not something he could solve, and he couldn't be a "professional gangster".

Jiang He shook his head and said, "Go back and thank the ghost master for me, but I still don't want to take this job." ”

Hu Xiaoliu was not surprised, he looked at Jiang He and said, "The ghost master knows that you won't take it, so he just asked me to take you around the neighborhood so that I can tell them: You are the new seventh leader of our White Dragon Gang, Jiang Ye." ”

Jiang He pursed his mouth, and remembered the second dog who opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be "Jiang Ye". He looked at the courtyard door that had been smashed open, and continued: "Then I will gladly accept this shop, but it has nothing to do with me about how you shout and how to do it. ”

Jiang He knew that these people were interested in affection, so he neither took it nor retreated.

Hu Xiaoliu looked at him, and then smiled lightly: "If Jiang Ye becomes the first painter in the capital in the future, don't forget to reward me with two paintings." ”

Jiang He didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he simply took out the book from his arms, sat on the wall and began to read, but before he could read two pages, he was pulled up by Hu Xiaoliu again.

"How can you waste a good time reading books, Jiang Ye, let's go, let's play. Hu Xiaoliu pulled Jiang He's shoulders and said to him with great interest.

Jiang He dodged his hand, and then said, "Shopkeeper Hu." ”

Hu Xiaoliu interrupted him, "You are now the leader of these seven, call me Xiaoliu." Hu Xiaoliu brazenly lowered his age.

"Uh... Good.. Sixth Master. I said you can go wherever you want to play, I'll read here, and you can come and eat with me later. Jiang He said to Hu Xiaoliu.

"Oh, now that you are the seventh leader of the White Dragon Gang, of course you have to go in and out of places that can show your identity, how can you sit on the side of the street and read like a poor scholar?"

Hu Xiaoliu couldn't help but say, snatched the book and stuffed it into Jiang He's arms, pulled him and walked towards the city.

"Master Jiang, let's go to a good place and take you to see and see... ”
