Chapter 042: The Bandit Shows His Talent Today
And these people are the heroes of the Montenegrin Society who are waiting at the foot of Montenegro, ready to receive Li Niu who enters the city at any time to open a warehouse and release grain.
When Li Niu and Ding Kun stirred up Goose City into a pot of porridge, what good things did these heroes do? It turned out that they only did one thing, and that was to wait!
That's right, wait, wait, wait, wait, finally waited until the harrier flew into the sky, and I felt that the granary should be broken at this time, and then Li Niu and Jing Ming, Quail, Hu Laosan and Bird Lang They rushed to Montenegro under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, in this way, things are just expected, these heroes who have been waiting for a long time and seem to be in pain just spread their hands and chop melons and vegetables at the officers and soldiers of the Holy Dynasty who are chasing!
It's a pity, when the harrier finally came to the sky, and everyone had to get up from the water, from the trees, from the pit, and from the thatch, someone shouted: "Don't come out!" If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move! If the enemy moves, I will move first, have you forgotten? "It was Ma Xiucai who said this. As soon as everyone heard this, they thought it made sense, so they obediently retracted their heads again, and continued to stay in the place where they had been impatiently guarded, waiting, waiting.
So who is this Ma Xiucai? It turned out that before this Ma Xiucai went up the mountain, he was also a character in Majiadian Village at the foot of Montenegro, and he was famous in ten miles and eight towns.
This Ma Xiucai was originally called Ma Decao. Ma Decao, this kid was a little lucky when he was born, that is, he has the craftsmanship handed down by their Ma family ancestors in his family - Ma Jiadian small crispy meat, famous far and wide!
This Majiadian was originally just a small invention by chance on the ancestors of the Ma family, and later it was carried forward by the Ma family's sons and sons, children and grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren were carried forward with infinite difficulty, and the craftsmanship became more and more refined, and the fame became bigger and bigger, so the family foundation gradually became solid, and when it came to Ma Decao's father's generation, he was already the richest man in Majiadian Village. So as soon as Ma Decao was born, he was given the golden label of the rich second generation by fate.
Ma Decao also has two older brothers, who are called Ma Deben and Ma Deran, because his father thinks that the child's name should be related to "horse", so running is the duty of horses.
I didn't expect these two children to be unproductive all day long, holding knives and guns, and unwilling to study and progress. Unexpectedly, one night, a flower monk from the traveling side arrived at the store, ate a little crispy meat, and began to tell the two boys about the things on the rivers and lakes. Sure enough, it was a run, and a run!
Now that he came to his youngest son, the old horse felt that he couldn't let the children run away, so he gave him this name, which means that it is natural for horses to eat grass, since there is grass to eat, then don't run, stay by your side and raise yourself for an old man, so he took this name. From this point of view, this horse grass boy should eat and drink without worry, and be happy for a lifetime, right?
In fact, fate played a joke on him. This kid doesn't like to eat the little crispy meat made by his father since he was a child, maybe when the child was still being held in his mother's arms to eat/milk, he was once jokingly fed by the old horse to eat the little crispy meat, and he was tired of eating it, anyway, as soon as this kid saw the little crispy meat, and even smelled the fragrance of the small crispy meat, he couldn't stop nauseating and vomiting.
It's hard for his father's old horse now! That's what I do at home, how can I not have a little meaty aroma! But seeing the child vomit after eating, vomit and vomit after eating, and his body is getting thinner and thinner, Lao Ma is really distressed. But business can't be left undone, after all, the family has relied on this to get to where it is now.
So this old horse is worried, worried, so worried. There is so much money in the family that cannot be spent, and his old horse has never been worried; The wives and concubines of the four rooms in the family all eat small crispy meat and eat big waists, walk like rolling, and take them out to be embarrassed, and Lao Ma has not been worried (it's a big deal to marry a room with a slender figure and beautiful facial features, but it is just to spend an extra month's turnover to buy a bride price), but in the face of this skinny little son, Lao Ma is really sad!
There was no way, so the old horse had to foster the pony at his aunt's house in Niujiazhuang, a neighboring village. Although the Ma family made a fortune by relying on small crispy meat, Ma Decao's uncle Niu Xiucai Niu Qingquan is a scholarly family, and there are no boys in the family, only one daughter, Niu Xiaolan, who is three years younger than Ma Decao. So when Ma Decao, a thin monkey, arrived at his aunt's house in Niujiazhuang, he was obsessed with the fragrance of books. The child is not only raised more and more energetically in Niu Xiucai's family, but also has made great progress in reading!
And Niu Xiucai himself also has academic skills, and he has no male in his family, so he is particularly interested in this child, and soon this kid will be able to recite poems correctly. So people from near and far spread, saying what bull head horse noodles, bull head horse noodles, sure enough, dead dogs do not leave the group, only the surname Niu and the surname Ma together, the child can do great things, can get ahead, rich and expensive.
Niu Xiucai listened, and didn't answer, just smiled. It's just that every time this old horse takes the time to come to see Ma Decao, he hears this, and his heart is very useful. He waited for the child to make a name for himself in the future, and then glorified his ancestors, and got rid of the reputation of killing pigs and boiling oil and mixing meatballs in the oil pot, which really made the ancestors' faces shine!
I didn't expect it—I'm afraid of everything, I didn't expect it—one day, the good days of the Ma family were gone.
That was when Ma Xiu was only seventeen years old. Ma Xiucai has been out of the greasy life since he was a child, so he looks very clean, although his body is thin and a little weak, but because of the infiltration of books, coupled with the perennial dealings with the elegant scribes made by Niu Xiucai, he can occasionally recite two lines of poetry, which naturally looks different and has an extraordinary bearing.
It is precisely because of this that there are many gentlemen from near and far, vying to entrust their fat, thin, tall, and short eldest daughters and younger daughters to the Niu family.
In addition to the neighbors of Niujiazhuang, other people thought that the child was from the Niu family, and the result was that after bringing a large bag of four-color rites to the door, they were polite, but they found that they worshiped the wrong gods, so they had to come out in a huff, and came to the Majiadian again, and brought the four-color rites again, and then politely, and ate a meal of the legendary Majiadian small crispy meat, Bacheng forgot the mission of coming to the Ma family, praised how good the Majia crispy meat tasted, and then left.
Lao Ma knows that as long as he has come to eat once, he will naturally not forget the crispy meat, and it will not be long before he will come for the second time and the third time, and this source of customers will also roll in.
