Chapter Twenty-Four: The Pot-Bellied Man

Ziyu shook her head and refused the braised meat handed over by the rugged man, because the white color was the same as boiled meat.

She had no appetite at first glance, let alone let Ziyu eat it, and she was afraid that she would have a bad stomach, so she didn't dare to give it to Xiao Luo.

The rugged man unceremoniously took a bite of half a big steamed bun, and then sandwiched a piece of braised pork and ate it fragrantly, without even drinking a sip of water.

Two large bags of steamed buns and a small package of meat, under Ziyugang's two steamed buns, he finished them all.

That unfinished look, Ziyu always felt that he was not full, and asked tentatively.

"Uncle, will you do it again?"

As she spoke, she handed out five taels of silver, because there was no precedent for her to send a hungry man.

"Hehe, then I'll have some more, I've just eaten half full!"

"Ahem, uncle has a good appetite, and he must have a lot of strength!"

Ziyu gave a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart, no wonder this person only asks for a full stomach, and ordinary people really can't afford it.

On the day when the merchant ships enter the port, the food at the wharf is several times that of usual, and the steamed buns that sell two wen a piece on weekdays will be sold for fifty wen a piece on this day.

The tasteless braised pork will be as high as four taels of silver a pack, at best half a catty of meat.

After a while, Ziyu saw the guards of the trading house move the steamed buns and meat a few times, and needless to say, she knew whose business it was.

The only people who can trade here and can't afford to buy high-priced steamed buns are rough men.

The rugged man who came back with steamed buns and meat again, had goods in his stomach, and talked to Ziyu while eating on a mule cart.

"Little brother, my name is Hong Feiyang, I am a native of Yuegu County for more than 30 years, and my parents have long passed away.

There are also two brothers in the family, both of whom have been separated from each other, because I have eaten well since I was a child, and at the age of ten I was sent to the dart bureau as a handyman to eat.

I learned some superficial kung fu under the influence of my ears and eyes, and with a lot of strength, I mixed up the work of a dart car.

When he was out of the dart last year, he rescued a wife who was in distress on the road, and he quit the dart game after winning two hundred taels of silver, wanting to make a sum of money on his own.

It is my lifelong dream to marry a daughter-in-law, buy dozens of acres of land, and become a small rich man. ”

Ziyu saw that Hong Feiyang had finished eating the steamed buns and braised pork again, and she really admired him.

Because with his appetite, his family can only live a dull life with dozens of acres of land, and it is too difficult to eat and drink well.

Thirty-six steamed buns in one meal, and a pound of braised pork all went into a person's stomach, which is no longer a problem of eating a little big.

Ziyu glanced at her waist-thick arms, there were really few people in the world who could do this.

"Uncle, if I can give you a full meal and marry a daughter-in-law, are you willing to follow me?

It can also be solved. ”

Hong Feiyang's eyes flashed with a scorching light, and he leaned in front of Ziyu and squatted down to be at eye level with her.

"Little brother, are you serious?"

Ziyu slapped away the big face in front of her and nodded seriously.

"Uncle, do you think I look like a liar?

I take my younger brother with me when I go out to do business, and that's because there is no one at home to trust, so I can only take him with me.

You follow me, as long as you take care of him, I promise to make you a rich man within two years.

How about buying you another beautiful lady back? ”

"It's done!"

As soon as Hong Feiyang heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately responded happily, it was not easy to be able to mix meat and rice for a lifetime.

Especially a pot-bellied man like him, there are really few masters who are willing to ask for it.

I saw him scouring his body a few times, took out a cloth bag that was very carefully wrapped, and handed it to Ziyudao.

"Little brother, I bet this gem on you, and the work of driving the car and carrying the little doll is mine."

"Deal! My name is Ziyu.

In the car was my younger brother Ziluo, three years old. The two high-fived and made a verbal contract.

Ziyu, who had one more guard, knew that this person didn't even have a donkey, and he came to Shangdu Mansion with a pair of feet.

From Yuegu County to Shangdufu, there are two counties and a plain in between, a distance of nearly 1,000 miles.

In this ancient time when transportation was not developed, relying on a pair of feet to fight, there was no month not to think of walking.

Again, regardless of other factors on the road, it usually takes at least a month and a half to complete half of the journey.

"Uncle, you can really do it! Walking here on a pair of feet, I admire you so much.

After returning to Shangdufu, I will buy you a horse to ride, and there will be a good care on the road. ”

Hong Feiyang waved his hand again and again to refuse, and was a little embarrassed to tell the truth.

"I'm too heavy for an average horse, just buy me a mule."

"Haha, uncle is too sincere, I'll buy you a mule."

Ziyu laughed and patted Hong Feiyang's thick arm, he really deserved to be a rough man at the level of an uncle.

"Little brother is gone!"

The caravan of the Wang family, which was full of goods, was brought out by Xiao Wu with a piece, and he was seen sitting in the carriage where Steward Wang had sit, smiling proudly.

"Okay, you guys go ahead!" Ziyu said with a wave of her whip.

A long caravan slowly walked out of the dock, Ziyu followed behind in a mule cart, and Hong Feiyang strode beside the mule cart with a simple burden on his back, with two arm-thick iron rods pinned to his waist.

The warm March sun shines on you, the breeze blows with the salty smell of the sea, and the road is full of pedestrians and vehicles returning to Kamitofu.

Although everyone walked on the same road, they still kept a corresponding distance from each other, and no one deliberately approached.

Ziyu, who was driving the mule cart, was leisurely waving her whip, but she was actually vigilant about the movements around her.

Twenty miles away, in the slow march, it took a full hour to reach Shangdufu.

"Little brother, let's leave early tomorrow morning, if we want to leave, gather at the city gate early in the morning, it's still the old rule."

Xiao Wu's carriage stopped on the side of the road, directing the caravan to enter an inn, and did not forget to talk to Ziyu.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Ziyu, who has been here for more than half a month, must leave immediately when she buys satisfactory goods.

She took Hong Feiyang directly back to the small courtyard where she lived, but fortunately, she was always dressed as a man when she went out, and there were not so many rules to follow.

And when Hong Feiyang arrived at the dock, in order to save money, he retreated from the Chase shop of the inn, and he was really a person with a full net worth as soon as he left.

Ziyu, who is in a hurry, the first thing he did when he returned to the courtyard was to flush the toilet, followed by Xiao Luo, who slid off the mule cart by himself.

By the time the two of them came out after solving the internal emergency, the door of the small courtyard had been plugged in, and the mules had been unloaded to eat grass and drink water.

The things on the mule cart did not move, and Ziyu was quite satisfied with Hong Feiyang, who had a living presence in her eyes, and she stepped forward to push the carriage into the open shed.

Hong Feiyang, who brushed the mule, was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the seemingly weak little brother had quite a lot of strength.

"Xiao Luo plays by himself, and my brother will make you something to eat!"

After not eating well for a day, Ziyu decided to treat the stomachs of the three of them, which was equivalent to welcoming new partners to join.

"Xiao Luo lit a fire for his brother!"
