Chapter 60: Gone
"Brother, you're so nice!" Entering the house, Mei'er hugged her brother's arm and shook it gently.
"Little girl, the heart is really kind...... Jiang Xingchen rubbed Mei'er's head, and said secretly in his heart: "But how do you know that Du Rushan's heart will not stay in our territory, if his sister ...... Forget it, for the sake of their brother-sister friendship, Old Man Tang will let him stay for a day in one day......"
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it doesn't stop at all, and in just two months, the snow in the yard has reached more than 20 centimeters.
In the afternoon, Dingbei Hou came to visit, he also heard about the thief last night, of course he was very nervous, Jiang Xingchen must not have any accidents, otherwise he would not be able to explain Wanrou if he did not mention his contribution to the empire and his own territory.
However, when he saw Old Man Tang, the worry in his heart was suddenly replaced by surprise, no need to ask This is also Tang Chuxue's idea, and only she can move this great god! With this old man by his side, not to mention the Eight Kingdoms, even if the Great Elder of Xuanyuan Tianzong comes, he will give it for nothing, this is the top three masters in the empire, and it is insidious and cunning......
"Uh!" Dingbeihou was suddenly stunned, and he didn't know why the word sinister and cunning came to his mind.
If Old Man Tang knew Dingbei Hou's thoughts, he would definitely kick him in the face. I'm also insidious and cunning, and that hateful boy is ten times more insidious than I am.
Dingbei Hou was about to say hello, but when he saw Old Man Tang shaking his head slightly, he knew his thoughts, and pretended to be meeting for the first time, but he just praised Jiang Xingchen for a while, what kind of kindness, what talent is unparalleled......
Old Man Tang heard his luck straight, and scolded in his heart: "You bastards have been deceived by him with a harmless appearance!"
Jiang Xingchen blushed a little when he heard this, and at the same time wondered in his heart: "Master Hou doesn't recognize Old Man Tang, isn't this old guy famous...... In that case, the storytelling method can't control him......"
Old Man Tang wanted to know that his actions made Jiang Xingchen have other thoughts, and he would definitely regret hitting his head against the wall.
Dingbei Hou didn't stay long, after praising Jiang Xingchen, he thanked the old man again, and then turned around and left with a relaxed face, the problem of this kid's escort is solved, and there is no need to worry about anything else......
After Dingbei Hou left, Mo Hongxian, Zhao Danqing, and Sun Sanqiang came to the door one after another. Seeing Old Man Tang, they were all stunned, and when they heard Jiang Xingchen explain that the old man was the guard found by Tang Chuxue, they suddenly realized.
These days, the two major restaurants and eight steamed bun shops have been on fire, and as of yesterday, Jiang Xingchen's own dividends have reached 50,000 citrine coins, which can't help but make him secretly speechless.
It's only been ten days, look at this dividend, the two major restaurants sell at least 200 pheasants every day, if you eat like this, the pheasants won't be caught! What about the buns, how many were sold, 10,000, 20,000...... After a few calculations, Jiang Xingchen felt a little big......
What's even more exaggerated is that Zhao Danqing directly threw a ticket number of 200,000 citrine coins over: "In the battle of the Seventh Legion, the use of sheep intestines is very large, this is an advance payment given in advance!"
Mei'er looked at the little stars in her eyes on the side, and the smile on her face was uncontrollable.
Old Man Tang's eyes were also round, although he was used to seeing big money, but this kid's earning ability was too strong, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it was rare to see it in the imperial capital.
Also, the two major restaurants give him dividends, no need to ask, the signature dishes are also made by him. Originally, when he saw Jiang Xingchen making soup dumplings, he suspected that this kid had something to do with the steamed bun shop, but now seeing this situation, Old Man Tang couldn't help but shout in his heart again: "First Snow girl, I'm not done with you, if I had known that the reputation of the food city was made by this kid, how could I still eat it secretly, so I agreed directly...... I owe it myself, I'm so greedy, can't I inquire first......"
Old Man Tang was full of resentment, but Jiang Xingchen smiled and told Sun Sanqiang to hurry up and go to the field and dig more mustard greens to come back, otherwise it would be difficult to find it if the snow was bigger.
As soon as Sun Sanqiang heard it, he knew that there was something new, and his face blossomed with joy, and he went out to greet Qian Feng and Zhou Xiong, and ran out of the city.
Mo Hongxian was there, and Jiang Xingchen told her about the soup dumpling method, and gave it to the two major restaurants for backup, after all, this is more complicated, it needs to be jelly, and the bun shop is not a chef, jishu is not enough!
After everything was explained, when Mo Hongxian was leaving, she gave Mei'er two letter birds, and told her to put one of them back when she arrived at the territory.
The little girl was holding the pink letter bird, and she liked it so much that she kept stroking it, and she was reluctant to let go......
In the evening, the grain was finally bought, ten carriages, more than 10,000 catties of rice and noodles, and the second brother and the fourth brother helped to work.
Seeing that the heavy snow had not stopped, Jiang Xingchen immediately made a decision and asked the Marquis of Dingbei to borrow a team of city guards, led by Du Rushan's brothers, and rushed with food overnight. The roads around Hongyuan City are flat and there will be no danger, and if it goes well, you can get to the nearest town late at night......
After a night, the temperature dropped by at least ten degrees compared to yesterday, and Jiang Xingchen felt cold to the bone as soon as he went out, making him shiver. The heavy snow had stopped, but the sky had not cleared, and it had been gloomy and gloomy, which made him feel very depressed, and this was the weather on the day Mei'er became seriously ill.
The temperature is too low, and the horses can't stand it for a long time, and I'm afraid I'm going to freeze if I hurry.
Out of this consideration, Jiang Xingchen bought more than ten bison skins, and did not leave the house, burned the kang hot, and stayed in the room to sew and mend.
Old Man Tang looked at him, his face was full of contempt, a big man, hiding in the house every day to do needlework, it was simply ...... The most intolerable thing is that I can't even cook well......
Not only Old Man Tang, but even Du Rushan and Xin'er were extremely surprised, men do needlework, which is too disobedient!
Jiang Xingchen was furious by them, and felt like the leader of the East, but if he didn't do this job, he couldn't buy it outside, he made a sleeping bag for the little girl, and he could keep her warm on the way.
"It's funny, it's fun, isn't it, despise me...... In the past two days, you can nibble on white flour cakes, don't think that I will serve you!" Jiang Xingchen was ruthless in his heart.
Old Man Tang finally noticed that something was wrong and immediately changed his attitude. But Jiang Xingchen was unmoved, he didn't cook alive or dead, forcing the old man to blow his beard and stare at him, and Zuihou ran to buy buns to eat.
For the next three days, heavy snow fell from time to time, intermittently, continuously, endlessly, as if it was going to rain until the beginning of spring.
Sun Sanqiang came twice, and Jiang Xingchen told him how to pickle pickles with mustard gnocchi, and asked him to take care of the house.
Wanrou also came for a long time, she came specifically for dance music, after all, Jiang Xingchen was about to return to the territory.
Jiang Xingchen naturally had to pretend again, and then flickered! At this time, not pretending to be compared was not enough to satisfy Sister Wanrou, and he couldn't help it, the more clouds and mountains the fog covered, the better...... Zuihou, he has elevated dance music to the height of beautifying the human heart!
On the evening of the third day, Zhao Danqing brought a cart of collected haode medicinal materials, which was full of more than 100 copies......
Three days later, Du Rushan finally recovered almost, although he could not exercise vigorously, he had no problem walking and riding in the car.
Mei'er and Xin'er became friends, there is no age barrier at all, the two play backgammon every day, play puzzles, and the little girl also takes out her rag doll to share with friends. said proudly: "This is my brother who sewed it for me with his own hands, and this is the only one for all shijie!"
Xin'er hugged the soft rag doll, and couldn't close her mouth in surprise, and the strange feeling of doing needlework for Jiang Xingchen was also replaced by envy. Although her brother loves her very much, he can't make backgammon to relieve his boredom, let alone make something as novel as a rag doll.
And with the contact with Mei'er, Xin'er's previous dead mood also began to burn little by little, after all, there are still more than ten years of life.
On the morning of the fourth day, when it was finally time to leave, four strange carriages stopped at the door of Jiang Xingchen's house early in the morning. The reason why it is strange is that the horses are all clothed, and a thick layer of bison skin is wrapped around their bodies.
"Hee-hee...... Brother, it's the first time I've seen a horse dressed!" Mei'er, who came out with Jiang Xingchen, chuckled softly.
The little girl was dressed roundly, wearing a hat made of poisonous mink fur on her head, and a scarf sewn of rabbit fur around her neck, the old man looked at it from behind with envy: "Demon beast fur, warriors are used to make personal armor, this kid actually keeps his sister warm......"
Jiang Xingchen patted Mei'er with a smile and said, "This is also a matter of no choice, mainly because the weather is too cold, so I have to keep the horses warm, I am afraid that they will not be able to stand it after a long time!"
They all came two days ago, so Jiang Xingchen insisted on not letting his friends send him off today. After Du Rushan and Xin'er came out, he waved his hand, and the group climbed the mountain and carried out the carriage.
Of the four carriages, they only accounted for two, and the remaining two were loaded with items and medicinal materials purchased by Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er.
But just when the coachman wanted to shake the reins, Mo Hongxian, the second brother, the fourth brother, Wanrou, Zhao Danqing, and Sun Sanqiang walked out from the corner of the street one by one.
"Hey, didn't you say you don't need to send it, you guys are like this, you don't want me to go!" Jiang Xingchen's face was full of helplessness, but he couldn't say how moved in his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense, when we are rare, let's get out of here, let's just take a look!" Mo Hongxian waved his hand disdainfully, and then added: "Don't forget to put back a letter bird!"
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen nodded vigorously, took a deep look at a few friends, turned around and returned to the car, the coachman shook the reins, and the four carriages brought up a piece of snow and left quickly.
"This kid, it's really screwed home, in such bad weather, I have to go back to the territory, how good it is to stay in Hongyuan City!" Zhao Danqing shook his head and sighed: "I am really reluctant to let him go!"
"Are you reluctant to eat?" Mo Hongxian said sarcastically.
"Cut! as if you don't want to!" Zhao Danqing pouted.
Sun Sanqiang smiled and said, "It's okay, it won't be long before he comes back!"
"Hmm!" several people turned their heads at the same time, staring at Sun Sanqiang, waiting for him to explain.
Sun Sanqiang was a little hairy by them, and said weakly: "He still has to participate in the New Year performance with Miss Wanrou, don't you come back!"
"Go~" Several people waved their hands at the same time, looking disdainful.
A few people then dispersed, and the hazy sky fell snowflakes again!
