"Drive, drive"

A horse-drawn carriage was driving in the suburbs, and it was Bai Yun and his party.

If it is really as Zhang Lao said, then the problem can only appear in Lao Chentou.

Instead of asking people to ask each other, it is better to take a trip in person, and by the way, see how those pigs are growing, whether they are the same as the pigs in the previous life, three or four hundred catties.

A few months ago, when Bai Yun decided on the location of the restaurant, he thought about looking for a food that was extremely low-cost, taste-good, and could be sold at a high price.

After some searching, he set his sights on the pig.

In this era, no one wants pigs, and the taste is not even as delicious as the roots of the mouse tree, and the price is naturally very low.

With the memories of his previous life, he naturally knew that as long as the pig was castrated, cutting off the root of its troubles would improve its body shape and taste.

So he asked Laifu and the thin man to go to the suburbs to find a place near the mountains and rivers, so they found Xishui Village.

When I first came here, I met a poor father and son, and learned that they were from Xishui Village, who lived by planting a few acres of land, and lived a very hard life.

As the so-called meeting is fate, so Bai Yun gave them a few taels of silver, let them raise pigs, and promised three pigs for one or two silver, cash on delivery, never in arrears.

However, there is a requirement, that is, it will be castrated, then fed some concentrate, and a few will be sent to Yunyou Restaurant after a month.

"Brother Fei, let's go to Lao Chen's place"? The thin man drove the carriage slowly.

"Well, there's a problem with this braised pork, it's very likely to be Lao Chen, I have to take a look" Bai Yundao.

"The fat man and I also followed Lao Chentou and found that they were not threatened, and the pigs were all raised by themselves at the door; Near the restaurant, no one is watching."

"Raise it at the door, you mean that Old Chen Tou will raise the pig at the door" Bai Yun seemed to hear some amazing news, and was a little surprised.

"Yes, there's a place in the courtyard at the door, what's wrong, is there something wrong" The thin man wondered.

"It's nothing, just wait and see"

Bai Yun raised his eyebrows, he remembered that Lao Chen's pigs were all raised on the mountainside not far away, how did it become the door of the house.

After a while, a few families appeared, a few were red bricks and green tiles, most of them were thatched huts and mud walls, and the road here was not easy to walk, so the three of them tied the carriage to the wild trees on the side of the road.

Walking along the path, after a while, several people with farm tools appeared on the road, scolding and swearing, full of anger.

This scene made the three of them look sideways, but they didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the place where Lao Chen lived.

Old Chen Tou lives in the east of Xishui Village, and along his house, you can see a big mountain, which is called Yuesha Mountain by the locals, and used to raise pigs on the mountainside.

When Bai Yun came here, he saw a small fence around the edge of the earthen house, and there were five or six pigs in it, which made him stare at it and walk towards the courtyard.

"Who are you?" asked a woman who came out to feed, and when she saw that there were suddenly three more people at the door of the house.

"Auntie, is Old Chen at home? We have something to look for him," Bai Yun said.

"He's not at home, he's out for something"

"Then do you know when they'll be back?"

"I don't know about this, I guess it will take a while; Why don't you come in and sit down for a while?"

"Then we'll wait for him here, auntie, you get busy first, let's take a look"

After saying that, Bai Yun glanced around, came to the fence, and looked at the leisurely pig.

"Brother Fei, what do you see" Laifu looked at the same pig, and he really couldn't see anything different.

"These pigs have been castrated, it stands to reason that there is no problem, this old Chen Tou is not at home, I don't know the specifics, I will know when he comes back" Bai Yun said lightly.

The three of them came to a big tree, sat down around the roots, and Bai Yun leaned against the trunk of the tree, closing his eyes: "When they come back, tell me."

Time passed little by little, and the scorching sun was emitting heat all the time, steaming the earth, but fortunately, the three of them hid under the tree, and the breeze blew gently, so they felt a little cool.

Before they knew it, all three of them closed their eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it has been, Laifu felt a urge to urinate in the haze, slowly opened his eyes, and after a few pauses, he was ready to get up and pee.

Suddenly, I saw two figures walking not far away, one old and one young, with sticks and hoes in their hands.

"Wake up, old Chen, they're back"

The two who were woken up opened their eyes, stretched, and walked forward.

"Boss, why are you here?"

The moment Lao Chen saw the white clouds, he was taken aback.

"What are you doing...... Hunting went."

Bai Yun looked at the old Chen Tou's father and son, who were blushing and thick-necked, disheveled, angry, and still had farm tools in their hands, as if they had gone to a dry fight, but after thinking about it, they also felt that it was wrong.

"The next few villages suddenly grabbed water, and we naturally disagreed, so we took the guys to reason with them," said Lao Chen angrily.

"So did you win?"

Lao Chen was silent, and then scolded and said: "Those grandsons don't follow the rules because of the large number of people, we will go again tomorrow, if it really doesn't work, we will report to the official, in short, we can't let them snatch the water."

This is a very common time to fight for water, especially when several farms have fields in one place, and there is only one water source nearby.

As long as no one is killed, the government will basically not interfere.

"Isn't there a stream in this creek village? Why do you have to fight with other villages," Bai Yun wondered.

"The owner doesn't know that although there is water in our Xishui Village, our fields are more than ten miles away, and half of them belong to the mountain fields, and the stream does not flow there.

On weekdays, watering is shared with several other villages, which is barely enough; If there is less water, the grain on the mountain fields will die, and when the time comes to pay taxes, we will not be able to take out the grain, and those officials will not let us go," explained Lao Chen, his old face full of traces of time.

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered: "On this hot day, if the owner doesn't dislike it, go to my place to rest, drink a cup of tea, and relieve the fever."

"Okay"

Then, the group walked into the courtyard, and Lao Chen shouted and asked his mother-in-law to carry a pot of tea and pour a cup one by one.

After drinking the herbal tea, Lao Chen Tou felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the owner coming to visit in person?"

Bai Yun didn't speak, and Laifu behind him said: "Old Chen, you gave you all the pigs in this Yunyou Restaurant"?

"Yes, I sent it, is there something wrong?"

"Do you know that there is a problem with the pig you sent, and the meat is unpalatable, and the business of the restaurant has plummeted, which has seriously affected the reputation of the restaurant" Laifu's face sank.

Old Chen Tou was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he stood up with a loud voice, and said in a panic: "Impossible, I have always raised this pig, and I only send it once every two days."

"Could it be that we came all the way to frame you," Laifu asked rhetorically.

Lao Chen lowered his head, his back was slightly bent, his eyes flickered, the whole person looked cramped and uneasy, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes instantly spread out, and the panic and confusion were visible to the naked eye.
