Governor Zhang has decided to wipe out those moths in Linhu County!

Linhu County is located next to Lake Kasa, and there are many people who make a living from fishing.

But there are some places that fishermen dare not set foot in, after all, the people of the Lou family have greeted them and are not allowed to go there, if they get close, someone will drive them away.

That's it, there used to be a few brave young people, who touched it in the middle of the night to see what was over there, but they went to three people, two of them didn't see anyone alive and didn't see the corpse, and the rest of them saw a corpse, but because the housekeeper of the Lou family said that this person died because he went to steal things, he died in vain.

People who live near the lake dare not go near that place, and they don't know that there are actually many people living there.

And the vast majority of them are blinded laborers who are driven up the mountains and down to dig stones all day long.

It was noon, and the quarry's steward and guards were preparing for lunch, and the laborers who had been caught digging the stones were not allowed to stop.

Chang brought the food to the stewards and guards, and when he delivered it, he glanced at the people who were working without a trace.

A year ago, he was one of them.

Chapter 117: Constant

Changduan originally had a happy family.

His ancestors were the imperial chefs of the previous dynasty, and his ancestors had been pondering various dishes and left a book of "Chang Family Recipes".

The previous dynasty had long since disappeared, and their Chang family also returned to their hometown Linhu County, relying on this recipe to open a restaurant in Linhu County.

As soon as this restaurant opened, it was open for more than 100 years and became a time-honored brand in Linhu County.

Chang Duan has been learning to cook since he was a child, and the ordinary dishes they sell in the restaurant are made by invited cooks, but there are also some dishes that only their Chang family can cook.

As the heir to the restaurant, he had to learn these dishes.

He grew up in a restaurant, learned how to cook, married a good wife, and gave birth to a lovely daughter.

As a result, just when he was thinking about earning more money and saving more dowry for his daughter, something happened to their family!

When Chang Duan thought of the Lou family, he hated it so much.

Not only did they kill his father, but they also made up the accusation that someone had died after eating in their restaurant, and they put him in prison.

He thought he was going to die, and then he didn't know if it was lucky or unlucky...... The county government sent him and some other people from the prison here.

This is a quarry run by the people of the Jin Dynasty, who specializes in digging up the stones of the lake, and then sending them to various places for sale.

When he first came here, he was bent on escaping, and he was beaten a lot, and then he was afraid that he would be killed, so he didn't dare to run away.

It was also here that he met a person who was different from the others, and that person was named Li Qingzhi.

Most of the laborers working here are illiterate, but Li Qingzhi is literate and knowledgeable.

He wanted to give up and run away for a while, but at that time, he saw Li Qingzhi's eyes.

Li Qingzhi was skinny at the time, and he was about to run out of oil, but there was still a raging fire in his eyes...... Even when it came to this, Li Qingzhi still wanted to escape.

After being arrested for so many years, his body collapsed, and Li Qingzhi still didn't give up and wanted to escape, how could he give up?

He began to try to stay alive.

Only by living can there be hope of going out!

He wants to see his family!

I don't know what will happen to his family after his accident......

His mother and his wife are ordinary women with soft personalities, and his younger brother is still young, if the Lou family doesn't let them go......

Chang Duan just thought about it casually, and his heart ached.

He could only try to live.

Tsuneda glanced at the laborers who were working.

He is alive, but Li Qingzhi is already dead, and he has been dead for almost a year. Some of the other laborers he knew when he first arrived were also dead.

If he was still digging for stones, he might have died in Huangquan long ago.

The constant end is very

Glad, glad I have a craft.

Li Qingzhi is literate and can settle accounts, but there are also such skills here, and Li Qingzhi has no use.

He's different!

There is a cook here, too, but the cook's skill is not as good as his.

Seeing Li Qingzhi die in front of him, he clearly realized that he could no longer be a laborer...... He kowtowed to the guards and told them that his ancestor was the imperial cook, and that the food he cooked was delicious......

The guards and stewards of the quarry can't go outside on weekdays, so they don't have much to enjoy, and the original cooks here are not very good...... They gave him a chance to cook.

The last thing that is lacking here is fish, and he made a whole fish feast, and then he became a cook for these people.

This year, he has been working hard to cook and try to please them in order to gain their trust.

By now, these people have a certain degree of trust in him, and after listening to him describe the taste of some of the dishes on his family recipe, they are willing to buy him all kinds of spices and spices.

A few days ago, he used various seasonings and some medicinal herbs to stew a pot of braised pork for these people.

These people liked it very much, so they bought him some medicinal herbs according to the list he wrote.

The medicinal materials he asked for were all non-toxic, and these people were willing to buy them, but they didn't know that non-toxic medicinal materials put together could also make people have diarrhea or be drowsy.

He never gave up on escaping.

Chang Duan made fish balls today, stewed fish head tofu soup, and fried fat intestines and marinated duck.

These fragrant dishes were brought to the steward, who picked up the chopsticks, eagerly tasted them, and beckoned the guards to come and eat them together.

"Xiao Chang, your craftsmanship is really good! What do we eat at night? "A steward asks the norm.

Chang Duan said: "Steward Feng, I marinated the pig water I sent before, and the marinated pork heart and pork liver can be eaten directly, and you can also cut and stir-fry ......."

"Then half of it will be eaten directly, and half of it will be stir-fried!" Feng said.

"It's all up to Feng in charge." Chang Duan said with a smile.

He was going to do his work in the food of these people tonight, and when the time came...... He might be able to escape with the rest of the laborers.

As for what he would do after escaping, he didn't really know.

All he knew was that he was going to escape.

Stay here and watch the people around you die one by one...... He's going to go crazy.

After bringing food to the stewards, Chang Duan went back to the kitchen.

After his sudden appearance, the two cooks here were disliked, and they were now in charge of helping him and cooking the laborers.

These two people are not angry, so they are often lazy, for example, at this moment, they are not in the kitchen, and the okara and bran for the laborers have not yet been cooked.

The laborers were allowed to eat twice a day, and all they ate was for the pigs.

For example, the rice bran bought from a rice shop, or the soybean dregs and sesame residues left over from the oil mill after frying the oil.

It was better to cook these things before giving them to the laborers, but the two were sometimes lazy, stirred them with water, and sent them directly to the laborers.

At first, Chang Duan was too busy to take care of this matter - the stewards and guards did not trust him at that time, although he was given the opportunity to cook for them, but there were people staring at him from beginning to end, and when he was not cooking, he would be locked up.

But lately he has gained the trust of those in charge, and it has become much easier for him to act.

Tonatan put the bean dregs and rice bran into a few large pots, lit a fire and began to cook.

The okara is not fresh, and now that the weather is hot, it gives off a sour smell...... Chang Duan stirred the food in the pot, and his mood was complicated.

Earlier, the family had some land outside the city and hired people to grow vegetables and pigs there.

At that time, their pigs were better fed than these laborers.

In addition to eating pig food cooked with rice bran, pumpkin, vegetables, etc., those pigs can also eat leftovers from their restaurant, and they grow very fast.

Can the labor here ......

They don't give sour okara to pigs!

Chang Duan stirred for a while, washed and chopped the leftovers he had left over from cooking for those stewards before, and put them in.

These so-called leftovers, that is, duck intestines, fish intestines, pig skin, etc., are not delicious, but after putting them in, they can make the workers have more strength.

He cooked the food, put it in a bucket, and sent it to the laborers.

The laborers were very happy to see him come to deliver food.

In the food that Chang Duan brings to them, there will be some "ingredients", and they will also put salt.

Most of them are very grateful to Changduan.

When Chang Duan gave them food, he whispered to the leader of the laborers, "I'll come to you tomorrow evening...... Let's run. ”

Tsungan did this because he pitied the laborers, but also because he felt that the laborers would not betray him.

They are not having a good time, and they may die at any time. He believed that these people were willing to flee with him.

However, Tsunegata was wrong.

He was afraid that he would never have imagined that when the laborers continued to work after eating, one of them found the guards who were watching them, told the guards what Chang Duan said, and swore an oath: "Chang Duan definitely wants to escape!" ”

It is true that most of those laborers are grateful to Changduan, but there are also a few who are jealous of him and dissatisfied with him.

They think that they are all laborers who have been arrested and sold, so why can Changduan live a good life, but they can't?

But even if some people are jealous, they will not betray normalcy.

They also want to escape, they don't want to stay here any longer.

That's the one who ran to tell the guards.

This man came with Chang Duan, and his whole person was so thin that he looked like a dead tree that had long since lost its life, and looking at his appearance, I knew that he would not live long.

Some people are dying and their words are good, but he ...... He couldn't live anymore, so he wanted to drag others into the water.

The other laborers were hoping to escape at night, but he betrayed them all.

Chang Duan didn't know anything about this, and according to his original plan, he made a pot of lo-mei that would definitely cause diarrhea after eating, and sent it to those steward guards.
