"Ten and one tax, I have to pay one tael tax if I sell ten taels of fish, this tax price is not high? He even wants to raise taxes? Fishermen don't eat and don't feed their families? Haizhu was furious.

"That's why I said that his death may have been man-made, which provoked the anger of the people, and the fishermen of Quang Nam are not soft bones, and the seaside is their territory." Han Ji glanced out and said, "I found out that there was a fishing boat that day that went out to sea from the river with a pillar of incense on the night, and he didn't come back that day, and went to another pier in the evening, and left after two days." ”

"And then?" Haizhu asked.

"No, I didn't check down, whether he killed it or not, it was better if he capsized and drowned in the wind and waves. He died in the sea with no body left, which was enough to make the people in the court afraid and afraid, and if he sent someone again, he might be an insignificant person. ”

"Well done." Haizhu boasted, fortunately he is not a rigid character.

Chapter 184: Men Are All Virtuous

The meat whistle was fried, Han Ji took the meat whistle and Haizhu over, walked into the kitchen, he hesitated for a while, moved the stool and sat under the stove to prepare for the fire.

Haizhu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the diners will see the joke on you?" ”

"It's a little embarrassing." Han Ji didn't beat around the bush to tell high-sounding lies, he said bluntly: "I have never stepped into my kitchen, and I don't know which way the door opens. ”

Haizhu pouted.

When the fire was blowing, he lit the match, glanced at her, and asked, "Say no more?" ”

"Say what? Let you go back? I'm done here and I'm going to look for you? The pot was filled with water, Haizhu picked up the lid of the pot, she looked out, and whispered, "I don't think you're that kind of person." ”

Qi Laosan came back from fetching water, he hesitated to wander outside, he didn't know if he should go in at this time.

"Third child, haven't fired yet?" Erwang's father came over, he was still carrying a wine jug in his hand, and said, "I bought all the rice wine, and I'm waiting for dinner." ”

"It's fired, the major general is burning the fire, let's go sit down first." Qi Laosan said loudly.

Han Ji heard the sound and looked out through the window, just in front of the neighbor with a shocked face, the other party walked over suspiciously, and was not satisfied with a glance from a distance, and passed by the kitchen door in a fake way, glanced at it quickly, and quickly turned around and walked out.

"He went to call the neighbors to come and watch." Han Ji said.

Haizhu said that she didn't intend to embarrass him, she asked him to go back, "You go and do your business, and my milk will come to light the fire in a while." ”

Han Ji waited for her to say this, and said, "If you go out with me tonight, I will have nothing to do, and I can sit here all the time to light the fire for you." ”

Haizhu kicked him, but he didn't say anything.

Han Ji understood, and immediately added firewood to the stove and lit a fire.

"I'm going to light the fire, there's someone outside." Qi Laosan walked over.

"Third uncle, you go and coax the little sister, I have my help here." Han Ji happily refused and said, "I just like to burn fire, don't rob me." ”

Haizhu turned his face and smiled, and said loudly: "Third uncle, you will be responsible for serving rice and cleaning the table later, and I don't want you to help with things in the kitchen." ”

Seeing that the lively neighborhood had already come in, I saw Qi Laosan standing outside, and there was still talking in the kitchen, so I believed that Erwang's father did not fool people.

"When a man wants to marry a daughter-in-law, he is a virtue, and he doesn't pick up chopsticks when he falls on the ground in his own house, and he can't wait to use himself as a mule when he goes to his mother-in-law's house." Hongshan sighed, "The young general is no exception, he only came here last night, and he sent him to bed overnight, and he went to buy breakfast before dawn early in the morning. ”

As the words fell, the others let out a snicker.

Her voice was not small, Han Ji sat in the kitchen and could hear it clearly, he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

The water in the pot was boiling, Haizhu opened the lid of the pot and threw the powder into the boiling water, she took a colander and walked to the window and asked, "Don't talk, what flavor of powder do you eat?" ”

"I want two bowls of light." The person who was close took out forty copper plates and handed them to Qi Laosan, he walked to the window and said: "Third child, when I came, I heard your family crying loudly, you go over to coax the baby, we will serve the food ourselves, don't you do it." ”

"Yes, it's okay for you to stand and collect money and bowls, and we'll serve our own food." Others walked up to the window and lined up.

Haizhu glanced at Han Ji, she scooped up half a bowl of noodles, and then leaned over to scoop the bone broth from the crockpot on the other side, poured the meat whistle and sprinkled with chopped green onions, and said when handing over the rice: "The scallion oil is gone, replace it with green onions first, and you will be settled." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay without scallion oil." The person who took the bowl glanced at Han Ji, and he said to Haizhu: "It's powerful enough." ”

The general, who had come down from the battlefield, came to her and became a husband.

The people behind him thought he was talking too much ink, and urged him to go.

Haizhu didn't answer, she continued to scoop up the powder, scoop the soup, pour the meat, and sprinkle the green onions, and the people outside the window looked at them, and she and Han Ji were busy calmly.

The pot was steaming, the rising heat was making people sweat, Han Ji stuffed a split tree root into the stove, he washed his hands and stood by the pot and took the chopsticks to scoop up the powder, so that Haizhu was only responsible for seasoning.

"My bowl of noodles was cooked by the Major General himself." The person who took the bowl laughed, "This meal is worth it, I actually ate the meal cooked by the young general, and I guess no one will believe it." ”

Qin Jingniang heard this when she came in, she walked to the kitchen door and took a look, it was indeed Han Ji standing in front of the stove cooking noodles.

"Jing Niang, I don't want your help today, your son-in-law will use one person for two people." Diners at dinner joke.

Qin Jingniang smiled, she went in to greet Han Ji: "Arrived yesterday?" ”

"You arrived last night, auntie, have you eaten?"

"No, let's cook a bowl for my mother first, and I will have my life." Haizhu took a big bone and handed it over, and asked, "Xiao Huang is here, right?" ”

"Coming, more anxious than us, as soon as the door opened, he ran out with a rope in his mouth." Qin Jingniang couldn't intervene here, so she took the barrel bone and went over to feed the dog.

A large group of people suddenly rushed into the alley, all of whom had heard the news, and they followed the lively conversation and went straight to the door, and when they came in, they asked in a loud voice: "I heard that the young general is cooking noodles here to make money?" ”

"yes, get in line." The diner who was eating answered, "The meat whistle fried in Haizhu is delicious, there are two flavors, I think the spicy one is the best." ”

When the next wave of people came, the team was already lined up outside the door, Haizhu glanced at the meat whistle, walked out and said, "You can make up to thirty bowls, don't wait for the others, come back tomorrow, tomorrow will still be the major general's cooking powder." ”

"I didn't say yes." Han Ji said loudly.

"You'll say yes." Haizhu walked in and said, "The skill of cooking noodles has been practiced, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't do it?" ”

"Am I really going to say yes?" Han Ji confirmed.

Haizhu nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's okay," Han Ji got promised, he walked out the door and said, "Only thirty people will be left, the others will come back tomorrow, and I will cook noodles and sell rice here tomorrow." ”

The diners standing at the window waiting were confused, not understanding what he and Haizhu were fighting.

……

The last spoonful of meat whistle was sold, and the bone broth in the crockpot was bottomed out, Haizhu walked out with her wrists dangling, and she said to Qi Laosan: "Third uncle, you and my mother clean up the rest, and I will go out with Han Ji to blow the wind, it's too hot." ”

"Okay, you guys go out and play."

Han Ji and Haizhu bypassed a group of diners and went out one after another, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the alley was full of nagging idlers, drinking tea and looking over here one by one.

The two of them walked over with a hard breath, Haizhu felt for the first time that it was inconvenient to live in a crowded place, with Han Ji there, people were curious to watch everywhere he went.

"Didn't you go to see the people who practiced martial arts?" She spoke first.

"I didn't come in the morning, I guess I came in the afternoon." Hong Shanniang said, she glanced at Han Ji and said, "Go out to play?" ”

"Go around the island." Han Ji spoke, and at this time, there was no warm smile on his face, and the others didn't talk anymore when they saw it.

Out of Bluestone Lane, Haizhu took the lead to a place with few people, and the two didn't talk much all the way, and went straight to the dock. A merchant ship came to the wharf, the official ship was blocked, Haizhu said a few words to the fishermen she knew, she beckoned Han Ji to get on the boat, and the owner of the boat sent the two to the island.

On the island, Haizhu first went to see the old turtle, which was leisurely lying on the beach to bask in the sun and sleep, and there were bitten shrimp shells in front of it.

"You're doing well, and you're getting fat again?" She crouched in front of it.

The old turtle heard her voice and opened her eyes suddenly, and the next action was to climb into the sea, Haizhu pressed its turtle shell and said, "Don't go into the sea." ”

Han Ji stood aside and listened to her whispering to a turtle, how cool the trees on the island were, the hot sea breeze blowing up the island, and gradually cooling down through the trees, he thought to himself that the turtles living in the sea could make a home here, and it must be suitable for other livestock.

"What do you think? Let's go. Haizhu walked up to him.

"Finished talking to the turtle?" Han Ji walked towards the island, he knew the defense on the island, he walked in places where there were few people, and as soon as he left people's sight, his fingers wrapped around Haizhu's hand.

"What are you going to do to move me to help cook the noodles tomorrow?" He asked.

"I'll come out with you tomorrow night."

"Lack of sincerity, standing by the pot on this hot day to cook noodles, I feel like I'm lying in the steamer steaming." Han Ji glanced around, there was no trace of anyone stepping on the barren rocky beach here, he pulled Haizhu to the back of a mound of stones, and pleaded, "Give me some sweetness first." ”

Haizhu glanced at him and reached out to wrap his arms around his thin waist.

With permission, Han Ji came up like a blazing fire, at this time, he was fighting on the battlefield, attacking the city and plundering the land all the way, like a bamboo, and the skin of Sven on his body was torn apart, revealing a tough military style.

The slender fingers wrapped around the neck, the hot fingertips rubbed into the hair, and the non-delicate lines rubbed against the hair roots, like ants biting the trunk of a tree, and the venom was injected into the bark, and the painful and itchy feeling spread to the whole body, the more you scratch it, the more itchy it is.

A drop of sweat slipped down in the breeze with the scent of grass and trees, Han Ji moved his lips, he pressed Haizhu's head into his arms, his chin against the top of her head, his eyes were psychedelic and empty.

The leaves flew and fell to the ground, the insects crawled under the grass roots, and the sound of the dead leaves made a sound of soo, listening to the heartbeat in the chest cavity under the ears gradually calmed down, Haizhu raised his head and asked, "Do the guards on this island still want to stay?" It doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

"Hmm......" Han Ji paused for a moment before reacting, he said slowly: "I plan to raise poultry and grow vegetables on the island, there are orphans in every village, and many of them can only fill their stomachs, and they can only barely survive under the care of the clan. I plan to move these children to the island and ask someone to teach them how to raise chickens, ducks, pigs, and vegetables. ”

Attention was diverted, the floating thoughts of the two of them calmed down, Han Ji let go of Haizhu, he patted the hem of his clothes, led the person to sit on the stone, and said: "There are seven islands here, there are rivers on the islands, which can provide hundreds of people to live, and the draft is not a problem, when the time comes, there will only be twenty guards left on the island, and the others will be withdrawn, and they will come over for dozens of half-old boys and girls, and the money for planting vegetables and breeding will be owned by them." ”

"That's a good idea, but what about the other islands in the deep ocean? Can you send someone to see it? Will it be occupied by pirates again? Haizhu asked.

"When the sea is opened, I will take people to take a look, put a batch of chickens, ducks and pigs on it, let them grow wild first, go to see it every other month, and then catch it at this time next year." Han Ji knocked on the stone and said: "It's too far offshore, I don't worry about guarding the island, and the side aspects are useless, so I can only use it for breeding first. ”

"Was this your advisor's idea?" Haizhu asked him.

"Can't it be that I'm thinking of it myself?"

Haizhu said "wow" again, she hugged him and exclaimed, "It's amazing, we want to go together." ”

"You're also interested in raising poultry on the island? Don't lie to me, you don't say it when I don't say it, you want to take the credit, don't you? ”

Haizhu slapped him and said, "You owe me a lot of money, and you want me to give you advice, how can there be such a good thing in the world." ”

"Is this the money you want to open up after you receive it?" Han Ji smiled.

"Of course, my initial thought was to grow food on the island, and if we could harvest it, we wouldn't have to buy all our rations from the north. But there are many birds and finches on the sea, and they can't harvest even if they are planted, so it is better to raise some chickens and ducks that eat grass. Haizhu said.

"Don't worry about food, I have a spectrum in my heart." Han Ji jumped down from the stone, he pulled Haizhu and walked back, and walked to the place where he lived on the island, "It's noon, we eat on the island, and in the afternoon we go to see the fishermen practicing martial arts." ”

"Okay."

Half a day was spent watching the fishermen in various villages fight, and in the evening, Han Ji booked a table in the restaurant, and he went to Hongshi Village to invite his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. After the meal, Haizhu was abducted again under the pretext of giving it away, and the two of them mingled outside for an hour before going back, and the bone broth stewed at home tasted.

"Coming back?" Grandma Qi brought the lantern to Haizhu's eyes, and when the door closed, she stared at the person carefully.

"What are you doing here?" Haizhu has a weak heart.

"If you want to be together, let him choose a marriage date, at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, don't do anything wrong, the big family is more particular, and you have a big belly before you pass the door, and your in-laws are going to change their faces." Grandma Qi warned her.

“…… If you think too much, just kiss it, and your neck will go up, so that you won't have a big belly. Haizhu said with a big grin, Han Ji is more disciplined than her, and she will never touch the places that should not be touched.

"Ghost girl." After a trick, Grandma Qi slapped her twice, "Don't let him enter the door again, and don't let me out at night." ”

Haizhu let out an "oh" and ran to take a bath.
