Chapter 39: Into the City (12)
The big girl was stunned for a moment, how did she know how to make this toffee? This was given by Brother Guo, maybe he knew, but he couldn't trouble Brother Guo for this matter, right? ”
The shopkeeper saw that the girl's face was red and white, and she bit her lip silently, thinking that she was reluctant to hand over the toffee recipe, and slapped the table to scare her: "What, you wild girl still want to blackmail our family's money? If you don't hand over this recipe, don't talk about this silver, you don't want to leave!"
The shopkeeper is actually to scare the big girl, the countryman, and he will say everything when he is scared.
Guo Dalu and Zhu Lao Village Chief were in the wing room, and listened carefully to the trouble outside, and did not fall a word, it was really ups and downs, peaks and loops, I thought that the big girl had won a windfall, but I didn't expect disaster to fall from the sky, and the shopkeeper of Wangjianglou was so shameless.
The big girl really fell into their hands, where is there any good end, Guo Dalu flashed the words of private court in his heart, and seemed to see the big girl soaked in the water dungeon of the Zhujia, and was being beaten by the shirtless family with a leather whip soaked in salt water - Zhujia is half a city, it must be a rich and unkind thing.
Guo Dalu got up immediately and saluted the yellow pen sticker: "Lord Huang, the big girl outside is my neighbor's big girl, the candy she brought was given to her by me, and I also asked the yellow pen sticker to come forward and talk to the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Building." ”
Huang Pen squinted: "It's not good for me to meddle in the affairs of these families--"
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "It's not a big deal - it's just the candy that children eat, this little master is a pure filial piety, so this is such a high reward, in fact, it's not worth any money, as long as you take milk and sugar and boil it together in a pot, boil it into a thick juice, and then put it in cold water to condense, it becomes toffee." ”
Guo Dalu simply sold a good yellow pen sticker, and gave a recipe for making milk candy, he thought about it clearly, the shopkeeper of this hotel is a fox fake tiger mighty generation, he really gave them the method of making sugar, maybe they simply swallowed the reward silver, it is better to make friends with the yellow pen sticker, if you want to feed it, the yellow pen sticker is an official, and then the official who does not enter the stream, is better than the businessman like the restaurant shopkeeper I don't know how many times.
In fact, Guo Dalu had the intention to sell the recipe to the little young masters, and with the little master's lavish spending of money, he didn't care about how much money he paid, as long as it was delicious and fun, he was willing to spend money.
It's just that I didn't expect that the little master of the Zhu family was anxious, and he ran away with the toffee, Guo Dalu couldn't see the shopkeeper's bullying girl, and would rather cheapen the yellow pen sticker style than hand over the recipe to the shopkeeper.
Huang Bi Tie chuckled: "Guo family boy, don't worry, the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower is just a joke, who really wants your recipe, the left and right are just a meal." ”
Huang Bi Ti didn't get up, sat on the seat, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, you are not authentic, who doesn't know that the little young masters of all families are looking for delicious food all over the city, as long as they taste the word 'good', they will immediately reward a lot of silver, Fangzi - what does the little young master want Fangzi to do? Is it possible that he is still preparing to be a chef and open a restaurant? Let this girl go, it will not ruin the reputation of all families." ”
The shopkeeper was intimidating the big girl outside, and suddenly heard someone talking in the side room, and the voice was actually the yellow pen sticker in the county office, and a guy next to him whispered: "The yellow pen sticker is eating and drinking, I listen to them chatting, one of them seems to be Zhu Lizheng of Houlong Village." This girl also said just now that she is from Houlong Village. ”
The shopkeeper grinned, this kind of trick to scare children, it doesn't hurt to do it behind the scenes, but now it was hit by the yellow pen sticker, I think it was Zhu Li in Houlong Village who begged for mercy, and the family naturally didn't care about a pen sticker and Lizheng, but behind Houlong Village was 'above', for a candy recipe, and the other party formed a beam, it is indeed a little uncommitted.
The shopkeeper glanced at the big girl and waved his hand: "Go, go, let's go, if there is anything delicious in the future, send it to Wangjiang Tower, and there will still be a reward." ”
The big girl is like a dream, holding the silver of the big ingot, and walking out in a daze, she doesn't know who is in the side room, why do you want to help herself speak, but the snow-white silver in her hand is real, the cool silver, there is a feeling of hot hands.
At this moment, the wing room creaked open, and Guo Dalu flashed out of it, and he saluted inside: "Lord Huang, you and the old village chief drink slowly, and I'll give you a big girl." ”
Guo Dalu walked up to the big girl, gently took the silver in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wrapped it, stuffed it into the girl's hand, and chuckled: "You just want to take such a big ingot of silver and swagger in the market? ”
Only then did the girl understand that it was Brother Guo who saved herself, she was like a hot hand, and stuffed the silver back to Guo Dalu: "Brother Guo, this silver is exchanged for the toffee you sent, I, I can't take it, give it back to you." ”
Guo Dalu is the first time to see the ancient ingots, holding it in his hand, sinking ingots, think about it, fifty taels of a piece of metal, I really don't know if it is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how to put it on the body, you have to use a burden to pick it up.
He smiled and said: "I gave you the toffee, and if I give it to you, it will be yours, whether you eat it or sell it, it's up to you." However, this silver is indeed a little more, so let's see what we can buy from the bazaar and bring it back to the villagers, there are many families, and everyone has a share. ”
Huang Bi Sticker sat in the wing room, and heard the conversation between Guo Dalu and the girl in the corridor outside the door clearly, this Guo family boy, he was not moved in the face of fifty silver snowflakes and big silver, and in a word, he gave it to all the villagers, and the sentence of treating money as dung is not something that anyone can do casually.
This Guo Dalu is not simple.
Huang Pen's face was silent, but his fingers were gently tapping his thighs under the table, Guo Dalu just gave himself a recipe for making toffee, but this kind of plaything is also regarded as a treasure by the little young masters, can he really use it to sell toffee according to the law, isn't this a joke?
This recipe can be bought by yourself to a shop specializing in chaff fruits, which can be regarded as a small fortune.
However, the key is not the recipe, but the milk mentioned in the recipe!
In the Jiangnan area, no one eats milk!
Some people can drink goat's milk, but no one drinks milk, and the yellow pen sticker only knows that there is one place where people drink milk, and that is the Hu people in the north!
The Hu people, who had fought viciously with the Great Li Dynasty for more than 2,000 years, conquered Hojing several times and set fire to the city, but they were also counterattacked several times by the unborn heroes of the Great Li Dynasty, swept through the wolf's den, and sealed the wolf's residence.
Because the Hu people eat meat and drink milk for many years, there is a smell on their bodies, and the yellow pen stickers have occasionally seen the Hu people who come to do business in Fucheng.
But how did the Guo family, a country boy, know the milk of the Hu people, and how did he know that this milk could be used to make toffee?
Was he a fugitive, or was he really adopted by an alien?
The fingers of the yellow pen sticker under the table became more and more urgent, and suddenly paused, that's it, it's better to observe this Guo Dalu carefully, and don't act rashly. Years of experience as an official tell me that sometimes behind an inconspicuous little person, there are inextricable and inexplicable relationships.
Huang Pen took a sip of the thin wine at the bottom of the glass, made a frivolous look, and said to the old village chief Zhu: "Old Zhutou, I'm drunk, take the first step, after noon, I will help you put the yellow book on Guo and Guo Dalu." ”
The old village chief Zhu sent a yellow pen sticker downstairs, got on the donkey, thanked him again and again, saw him leave, and hurriedly went to the market to find Guo Dalu and the big girl.
At the market, the villagers of Houlong Village gathered together, talking incoherently excitedly, and standing in the center was the big girl, holding a snowflake of silver in her hand.
It turned out that after Guo Dalu accompanied the girl to find the villagers who came to Houlong Village to catch the market, he announced that he would use the fifty taels of silver to buy some household necessities and give them to the villagers.
Some people say that they can buy all the grain with this money - millet and sorghum, so that the big guys don't have to go hungry this winter.
Some people think about it in the long run, saying that they should buy some good seeds, so that there will be more harvest in the field next year, or they should buy some piglets, chickens and ducks and raise them behind their houses, and the eggs laid by chickens and ducks can subsidize the family, and the pigs can grow up and rush to the market to buy money.
Everyone was discussing, and the old village chief Zhu hurried over, and he said with a straight face: "Why are you people embarrassed to spend Guo Ge'er's money?!" Do you know no, this fifty taels of silver was exchanged by Guo Ge'er for a toffee recipe!" After all, the old village chief Zhu has a lot of knowledge, and he knows that the fifty taels of silver are not easy to come by, if it weren't for Guo Dalu bribing the yellow pen sticker with the toffee formula, the big girl would not be able to get out of the hands of the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower.
The eldest girl didn't know that Guo Dalu said the recipe for making milk candy in the wing room, and when she heard what the old village chief Zhu said, she was anxious: "This milk candy was originally Brother Guo's, but I was useless, and it caused Brother Guo to leak the recipe, this silver, I said it should belong to Brother Guo." ”
Guo Dalu said with a smile: "A way to make snacks, what's the pity, old village chief Zhu, I haven't been at home for many years, and I rely on the villagers to take care of my parents, these fifty taels of silver, even if I thank the villagers." ”
Guo Dalu and Zhu Lao Village Chief pushed for a while, and finally decided that fifty taels of silver would be used to buy piglets, chickens and duck seedlings, and each household in Houlong Village would share a little, and then the villagers would help Guo Dalu build a new house - it is very convenient to quarry and cut down stones on the side of Fengshen Mountain, and even if a similar new house is called a carpenter bricklayer to build, it will cost more than ten taels of silver to reach the sky, and the villagers still owe Guo Dalu a great favor.
