Ma Liu followed Zhu Pingfan and shouted as he walked: "Mother, Xiaohua, there is a guest at home, and I saw a simple woman walking out of the house with a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old with two pigtails tied on her head. ”

The woman looked at Ma Liusan and said, "Who are these two sons?"

Ma Liu introduced: "Mother, these two sons are from the city, because they ran out of dry food on the road, so they came to the house for a light meal, Ma Liu roughly explained the situation." ”

Zhu Pingfan looked at Xiaohua, who was about the same age as himself, and then looked at the village woman impatiently and said: "Young Master Ben is hungry, Young Master Ben wants to eat, quickly bring something delicious." After that, Zhu Pingfan turned around and walked to the house, came to the old table and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a bowl of water and drank it, and Zhou Dazhuang looked at the mother and daughter, and then followed, sat opposite Zhu Pingfan, took a tea bowl and poured it full of water and drank it violently.

Xiaoliu got used to the style of the two along the way, but the woman and Xiaohua still looked at the two in surprise.

Xiaoliu hurriedly pulled his sister and mother, and the three of them whispered something, Xiaohua nodded obediently and ran to the kitchen, and the woman also walked in the direction of Xiaohua.

After the mother and daughter left, Ma Liu smiled and said to Zhu Pingfan: My mother and sister have already prepared a meal for the two of them, and the two of them can eat after a while.

Zhu Pingfan was so hungry that he didn't want to say a word, so he drank boiled water by himself with a glance.

Zhou Dazhuang looked at Ma Liudao: "I said, Xiao Liuzi, you tell me about the situation near this village." ”

Ma Liuyi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Young Master Zhou, you are asking the right person, there is nothing in Yong'an Village that Ma Liu doesn't know, our Yong'an Village and the two adjacent villages are the territory of the Qingniu Gang, most of the people in the village are members of the Qingniu Gang, my father is also a member of the Qingniu Gang, my father is often not at home to go to the Qingniu Gang to do things, and I didn't go to the Qingniu Gang to do things because I have to take care of my mother and sister." ”

Da Zhuang asked, "What does the Green Bull Gang do?" ”

Ma Liu: "The main livelihood of the Green Bull Gang is to help those merchants in the port of Bianhai City transport goods to the surrounding cities, and the Green Bull Gang is also responsible for the security of the three villages on the territory, such as banditry, harassment by other gangs, and the three villages have to hand over three layers of grain every year as compensation. ”

Zhu Pingfan heard that the Qingniu Gang immediately became interested, Zhu Pingfan remembered that Xu Fatzi and Liu Zhugan said (Xu Liang and Liu Fugui), those gangs are always fighting because of the territory, and the gang leader sounds very lofty.

Zhu Pingfan's small eyes rolled and asked, "Little Liuzi, who is the leader of the Qingniu Gang and where is he now." ”

Ma Liu: "The leader of the Qingniu Gang is called Chen Qingniu, I heard that it is a martial arts cultivator, I don't know about the others, and as for where the leader of the Chen gang is now, I don't know even more." But I know where the Green Bulls are based. ”

Zhu Pingfan: "Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, that Chen Qingniu is a martial arts cultivator, or let's go to the Qingniu Gang to see if there are any martial arts cheats or something." ”

Zhou Dazhuang also came to be interested and said: "Little Liuzi, what level of martial arts cultivation is Chen Qingniu." ”

Ma Liu: "I don't know about this, but I heard that Gang Leader Chen is very powerful, otherwise I wouldn't be the leader of a gang." ”

Zhu Pingfan said with a very clear look: "Well, it makes sense, this person must be very powerful." ”

He asked again, "Da Zhuang, what level of martial arts cultivator are you?" ”

Da Zhuang stood up and looked out the door, with a posture that I want to fight the sky and I want to fight ten. "I'm already a master of the third layer of the body refining stage now, presumably Chen Qingniu and I should be between the two. ”

Ma Liu felt Zhou Dazhuang's aura, his body was smart, Ma Liu never dreamed that Zhou Gongzi in front of him was a martial arts cultivator.

Zhu Pingfan has long been accustomed to Zhou Dazhuang, a martial idiot, who has nothing to do, and fantasizes about becoming a generation of martial arts gods every day, and the so-called aura is not a real aura, but Zhou Dazhuang deceives himself every day to bluff people's image.

Zhu Pingfan, who was stunned when he saw Ma Liu being bluffed, continued to drink boiled water to satisfy his hunger.

Xiaohua's mother and daughter in the courtyard kitchen, at this time, the two of them are working together to cook a hearty meal that is rare for Xiaohua to eat several times a year. Xiaohua listened to her brother say that after receiving ten taels of silver from others, she was afraid that the young master from the city would be dissatisfied and asked for a refund, and Xiaohua's mother said while killing the chicken very hard: "Xiaohua, is it too much for us to collect ten taels of silver, even if we give all the food at home to the two sons, we can't exchange it for ten taels of silver." ”

And ten taels of silver, for Xiaohua's family, it is Ma's father doing things in the Qingniu Gang, and he may not be able to get so much in a year.

That's why Xiaohua doesn't care what her mother says, and she won't return the money anyway.

Xiaohua: "Mother, don't worry about this, we have to believe my brother, my brother said yes, that's okay, you still concentrate on making chicken soup." As she spoke, Xiaohua put the fish in the pot and cooked it seriously. ”

And Ma Mu didn't say anything more, concentrating on making chicken soup.

In less than half an hour, Xiaohua and Ma Mu brought the food to the table, and Zhou Dazhuang and Zhu Pingfan, who had been hungry for a day and a night, gobbled up the food directly regardless of 3721.

Five dishes, one soup and a pot of steamed buns were all eaten by the two of them in just one tea time, Zhu Pingfan said while picking his teeth with fish bones: "Xiaohua, is this cooking skill good, I have an appetite for the young master." ”

Zhou Dazhuang continued: "Yes, yes, after our precise and meticulous discussion, it has just been decided that we will hire Xiaohua as the royal chef during this time in Yong'an Village, and as for Xiaoliu, we will be the guide and follower." I just decided happily. ”

Xiaohua and Ma Mu didn't know what to say, but Ma Liu reacted quickly, and ran to the two of them and said, "Then thank you so much for the care of Zhou Gongzi and Zhu Gongzi." ”

Zhou Dazhuang: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's not a matter to do good money." ”

After that, he took out two sets of silver from his arms and threw them to Ma Liu and Ma Xiaohua respectively, Ma Xiaohua's excited heart trembled when she took the silver, what a big silver, staring at Zhou Dazhuang, just like a little girl seeing a cute bear, her eyes were full of desire, and she couldn't wait to strip off the bear's clothes to see how much silver was inside.

When Zhou Dazhuang noticed Xiaohua's eyes, he shouted in his heart: ", what kind of eyes are you?" ”

Zhu Pingfan noticed Da Zhuang's facial twitches, and also noticed Xiaohua's eyes. whispered: "Oh, Da Zhuang, okay." ”

Zhou Dazhuang immediately knew that Zhu Pingfan had misunderstood, and he didn't bother to explain,

Da Zhuang: "Is there a place for Xiao Liuzi to rest?" ”

Ma Liu smiled and said, "The two sons will live in my and my sister's rooms separately first, please here, please here." ”

After that, he took Zhu Pingfan and Zhou Dazhuang to rest. And Xiaohua has been standing in place, holding the silver in her hand, looking left and right. Ma Mu also looked at the silver in Xiaohua's hand and was stunned.

After Ma Liu settled the two of them, he came back and said, "Mother, little sister, we have made a fortune, little sister, you go to the village to search door to door to buy all kinds of delicious food, mother, you will help your little sister cook together during this time." I went out to inquire about some of the news that the two sons needed. ”

After speaking, Ma Liuyi turned around and ran out of the house. Xiaohua watched her brother run out to run errands, and then ran out to search for all kinds of cooking ingredients. Mother Ma watched the two children happily go out to run errands, and didn't say much, and went back to her room to rest alone.
