Chapter 77: Malt City
Lingyun has a hippie smile, no matter how you say it, you don't admit it.
But Dou Qing had clearly noticed something.
Wang Tu controlled the tiger to intimidate her, and if she didn't go to Doujia Village, she would definitely be tired.
Dou Qing wants a reasonable explanation, otherwise he won't give up.
Ling Yun, Ling Yuan, and Wang Tu fell silent, and some things couldn't be said to be killed. The others looked confused, not figuring out what was going on.
"Hurry up!" Dou Qing urged.
Ling Yun sighed, very helpless, lowered his head in front of Dou Qing, and decided to tell the truth.
"Lingyun!" Lingyuan shouted.
"Don't talk!" ”
"Actually......"
Lingyuan and Wang Tu thought that it was over, Dou Qing must be so angry that he was going to fry.
Ling Yun glanced at Ling Yuan and plucked up his courage, "Actually, Ling Yuan told me that there is an aphrodisiac fruit in the mountains, so I want to take you there, so ......"
Syllable!
Dou Qing slapped him hard and scolded, "Bastard." ”
After the fight, he began to rush in a rage.
Ling Yun secretly sighed again, although he received a slap in the face, he could be regarded as foolish. As for how to stop Dou Qing from going to Doujia Village, find a way.
The road was smooth and soon came to the outside of the county. Dou Qing was just about to enter the city, but the Lingyun brothers ran to a remote place and drew a mark.
"What are you doing here?" Dou Qing asked.
"We're setting up a secret rendezvous point where we can meet if something happens. And ......" Ling Yun suddenly became proud and straightened his back, "I am now a key criminal who has been offered a reward of 100,000 taels of gold, and entering the city like this will definitely cause a sensation." ”
"It's a riot. Dou Qing hit him.
"Whatever it is, you have to dress up to get in. ”
The old way, become a beggar, and act in his true colors.
Seven little beggars mingled into the city, disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and scurried to the corners of the streets.
It stands to reason that once you become a beggar, no one notices it. But it's different here, they're like a strange flower, and everyone will take an extra look at them, looking at them like monkeys, which is very strange.
Ling Yun's high bounty orders were posted everywhere in the city, but no one noticed that in fact, the King of Beiling, who had been rewarded with 100,000 taels of gold, was right next to them.
Perhaps, they had no intention of caring about those bounty orders.
The county seat is called Malt City, located in the three forks, famous for the production of maltose, especially sweet and famous. The surrounding officials and nobles and the common people like to eat.
In the center of the county, there is a street, and the whole street is full of malt candy wholesale shops. Countless coolies kept coming in and out, loading boxes of maltose onto trucks and sending them to other places.
Business here is booming. can't be busy, who has the leisure to read the bounty order.
One hundred thousand taels of gold is not a concern for a businessman who is in his duty, although he is greedy.
Dou Qing and Ye Wanqiu wanted to try it, but Ling Yun ignored Wang Tu's dissuasion, squeezed into the crowd, and shouted, "Bring me some." ”
He was about to burst his throat, and there was no man to pay attention to him. Even those who came behind him bought a lot, which made him very angry and shouted: "Look down on people, isn't it!"
A guy was afraid of causing trouble, so he stuffed him with maltose in his hand and said with a smile: "Take it and eat it." ”
Although Ling Yun is a beggar, he is also a dignified beggar. If you can afford it yourself, you will never reach for it. He pulled out a gold bar and placed it in the man's hand. "These maltose, count me as bought. ”
The guy was stunned, looked at him, and then at the gold bars. How could a beggar have such a gold bar? His eyes were full of suspicion. It's like saying that the gold bar was stolen.
He returned the gold bars to Ling Yun, still smiling, "We don't accept your gold bars." ”
Ling Yun was very unhappy, and lost a good tone, "Why, look down on me, why can you ask for other people's gold bars, but not mine?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Your gold bars, in fact, can't buy these maltose. ”
"What!" Ling Yun was shocked, a gold bar couldn't buy much maltose. Is this sugar cube not made of gold?
"The little brother is a foreigner. ”
Ling Yun was worried that he would be recognized, so he glanced at him and looked around vigilantly. "How do you know?"
"Didn't you notice that there are no beggars in our county?"
Ling Yun saw the end from the street, except for the shop was the carriage caravan. Spacious street, very clean. People who come and go, dressed in gold and silver, and have gorgeous clothes, look very rich.
"Little brother. You don't know yet, the maltose on our street is sold to the princes and nobles, so it is more expensive. And it is only sold wholesale. If you want to buy in small quantities, turn left on the street and walk to the end of the street, then there is, and it is cheap. I still have a job here, so I'm not worthy of you. ”
The guy spoke politely, and there was no tone of contempt between his words, so Ling Yun let him go.
Back in the corner, Dou Qing and Ye Wanqiu ate maltose, took the first bite, and the whole person felt like they were about to ascend to immortal.
Maltose is sweet but not greasy, crispy and delicious, and melts in your mouth. Its sweetness has the miraculous effect of stimulating the nerves and making people feel happy. Coupled with the faint fragrance of malt, it feels like being in the middle of a field.
The brothers tasted it, loved it, and wanted to eat it after eating. At this moment, they want to soak in maltose and don't want to come out.
After eating one wave, I want to eat another wave.
Because most of the money was given to the gold mine laborers, they left only a small portion and went where the guy said.
The shops on that street are smaller, and there are a few caravans, which are not of the highest grade. Business here is not so brisk, and people who buy sugar buy a small bag at most. Their dress was a little vulgar, but it was much stronger than the county seat where Ling Yun was the county magistrate.
Ling Yun came to the shop with a small family and took out a gold bar. "How much can I buy with this gold bar?"
"A big bag. ”
"Then bring me a big bag. ”
The guys here are also smiling, very enthusiastic, and talking to Ling Yun while loading candy.
"Well, I say, where are you from?"
"You also see that I am not a native?"
"We people in Malt City, where will there be beggars. The worst conditions are those of us who work hard. Anyone who has a little ability has become the boss. Either open a store, or land a contract, the rich have it. ”
Ling Yun joked: "You are so rich, beware of being robbed." ”
"Don't be afraid. ”
He watched as he spoke, very vigilant. After looking at it for a while, I didn't see anyone from the county office, no one on patrol, not even anyone to maintain order.
Is it possible to be so capricious with money?
"Hey, I said, since your business is so hot here, why haven't you seen anyone from the government?"
"Official?" the guy smiled, a little proud, "we don't need an official government here." ”
"Aren't you afraid that someone will come to make trouble and rob or something?"
"Who dares! We have the royal family and the northern overlord Zhou family here, who dares to cause trouble. ”
