Datang Nongwang

Chapter 422 Raspberry Sauce
Li Chongyuan, who returned to the small courtyard, was still a little upset.

In the end, he missed Xiangba and went to Zhaojiazhuang.

As for himself.

But it is inconvenient to go.

When he told the yacha, whether he wanted to come to Wang Datong or Su Dingfang, the two of them probably understood his thoughts.

If you really don't understand, then these two old fritters don't have to mess around in the officialdom.

Although Zhaojiazhuang was copied, it was related to the poisoned death of ducks and geese in Lizhuang.

But Li Shimin worked hard and directly copied the Zhaojiazhuang.

No matter how stupid Li Chongyuan is, it is not convenient for him to go to Zhaojiazhuang at this time.

Li Chongyuan was not stupid, and he knew that the order of the sage to confiscate the house must have directly bypassed the court.

According to Li Chongyuan's knowledge of the important officials in the court, it is impossible for them to agree to this matter. After all, this is a major event, and it is related to the felony of being hacked and exiled.

"Fourth brother, is Zhaojiazhuang going to be confiscated? Then I'll go and see." Wan'er saw that her fourth brother asked Xiang Ba to go to Zhaojiazhuang, and she was very interested in saying that she would go and have a look.

Li Chongyuan's eyes narrowed, "You are not allowed to go, if you dare to go, I will beat you."

Li Chongyuan didn't go, and Li Chongyuan didn't allow Wan'er to go either.

It goes without saying that it is to avoid suspicion.

Wan'er pouted, and walked carefully towards Li Yuan, "Uncle, look at my fourth brother, he is going to beat me again, Uncle, you decide for me."

Li Yuan smiled and looked at Li Chongyuan without saying a word, and didn't answer Wan'er's words, and it was impossible to make decisions for Wan'er.

"If your little man doesn't come, I sent you here, that's fine, I'll let you be a witness on this matter." At this time, Xiang Ba had already arrived in Zhaojiazhuang.

When Su Dingfang saw Xiang Ba coming, he seemed to know it well.

Regarding Xiang Ba's arrival, Su Dingfang knew who was standing behind this person.

He bowed to the eight thugs, "My little man asked me to come here just as a spectator. As for what General Su wants to do, my little man told me that I only need to wear eyes."

"Haha, it seems that your little lord has become more and more calm, not bad, not bad." After Su Dingfang got the words, he laughed twice.

Xiang Ba looked at the old and weak women and children in front of Zhao's house, and said softly: "General Su, these are ordinary tenants in Zhaojiazhuang, and you have seen it, General Su, they are all old and weak, women and children, and their families are all in my house. Li Zhuang is a helper, General Su please don't frighten them during the screening."

"Of course, I have already ordered you to go on just now, and I will definitely deal with it carefully during the screening later. Don't worry about this matter." Su Dingfang looked at Xiang Ba, nodded and replied.

A Zhonglang general put down his status to talk to a servant.

Putting it on others, it is estimated that it will be difficult to appear.

But Su Dingfang thought that his talents were underappreciated and he was not valued by the court.

Last year, according to the normal situation, he should have been promoted.

But now, he is still that Zhonglang general.

more.

Su Dingfang knew even more that Xiang Ba in front of him, besides Li Chongyuan, the person behind him, was also a county uncle.

Furthermore.

Su Dingfang knew even more that Mrs. Li's Mrs. Xiangjun was standing behind Xiang Ba.

and so.

Su Ding was so willing to delegate his status to talk with a servant here.

The screening and investigation in Zhaojiazhuang lasted for a day.

It was over towards the evening.

As soon as the investigation was over, Su Dingfang left with everyone and things.

On the contrary, it was Wang Datong and the government officials who continued to stay.

Xiang Ba, who returned to Lizhuang, reported everything about Zhaojiazhuang to Li Chongyuan.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan was thoughtful, and after a long time, hatred flashed in his eyes: "The man surnamed He is just a small manager, but he has done so many evil things. It seems that it is hard for him not to die." gone."

"Xiao Langjun, General Su said that the man named He Guang would probably be executed immediately. As for that Zhao Youcai, he might not be far away from death. There are also Zhao Youcai's concubine daughters who also committed a lot of crimes. According to General Su's words, he will definitely speak out to the Holy One about the few evil things." Xiang Bayan said.

Li Chongyuan really didn't expect it.

A little manager in Zhaojiazhuang, he dares to do anything that hurts nature and reason.

Stealing people's money, inflicting murder on others, forcing people into prostitution and so on.

Even in its hands, there are still human lives.

Li Chongyuan can be said to hate such a person full of evil.

This is still near my own Lizhuang, and there are such and such evil things happening.

As the acting county magistrate of Hu County, Li Chongyuan had to write a letter to the court no matter what, so that the bigwigs in the court could see whether the people in Zhaojiazhuang were human or devils.

Farmers suffer.

Tenants are even more miserable.

It was so bitter that there was no place to complain.

Really answered that sentence, there is no way to appeal.

Li Chongyuan is really ashamed to be neighbors with such people, "Look at it, God will doze off, as long as he doesn't doze off, he will definitely accept them."

Heard a lot of disgusting things.

This made Li Chongyuan careless about his own affairs.

outside the hospital.

Wan'er took Xiaohong and the others to buy the raspberries they picked.

As for the warehouse, Qiao Su and his servants were also buying raspberries there.

They didn't know anything about Zhaojiazhuang.

Even the helpers in Zhaojiazhuang didn't know what happened in their own village, after all, no one came to inform them.

As for Li Chongyuan, his boss, he naturally wouldn't talk too much, so as not to disturb their minds.

Furthermore, the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang were only interrogated and screened.

According to the report to Ba, the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang have returned home at this time, and everything is as usual.

As for the worries and fears I have suffered all day, there is no solution.

after dinner.

Li Chongyuan continued with his own business.

"Yuan'er, you said it's so easy to make jam?" Li Yuan stood curiously in the kitchen, watching his grandnephew busy making raspberry jam.

Li Chongyuan directed Qiao Hui to increase the fire while adding caramel sugar into the pot, "Uncle, it's simple, just mash these raspberries and condense them, then add sugar, lime juice and wine to boil, it's not that difficult It's complicated. After making it, you can eat some every day, uncle, so that your health will be better, uncle."

"Wenli, what do you think?" Li Yuan asked Zhang Wenli, who was looking to the side.

Zhang Wenli took a spoon, scooped some of the prepared jam and tasted it, "Master, this raspberry jam made by Mr. Xiao Lang has the smell of sugar, wine, and orange. It also has the unique flavor of raspberries. Although I can't confirm the taste and efficacy of raspberry, as far as I know, its efficacy is definitely better than that of a single raspberry."

Zhang Wenli likes to call raspberries raspberries.

Since Li Chongyuan said that this wild fruit is called raspberry, it has been called so.

Even if Wan'er ordered him to change the name to Raspberry, he changed his previous obedience and directly responded to Wan'er, the old man likes it.

After hearing this, Li Yuan looked at Li Chongyuan, and the admiration in his eyes was directly revealed.

"Fourth brother, then you make more, and you have to help me make my raspberries. I will let you go back to Chang'an tomorrow and buy some bottles. I want to make money." Wan'er, who was anxious to the side, listened to Zhang Wenli's words Finally, he even boasted that he wanted to make money.

Yes.

For her, making money is the top priority.

Nowadays.

She has collected over a hundred catties of raspberries again.

of course.

The amount she collected was only collected by the little boys in Lizhuang.

Compared with the amount of Qiao Su's acquisition, it is insignificant.

Li Chongyuan stopped stirring, "You're going to exhaust me, fourth brother, how long will I have to make so many raspberries, and this caramel has to be bought, sour oranges also need to be bought, and wine also costs money, You want to make money, pay for it yourself and make it yourself."

"Fourth brother, please, I have collected so many raspberries, if you don't help me make jam, if they are all broken, then I have to pay for it." Wan'er refused, and pulled her fourth brother The clothes are shaking and shaking.

but.

At this time, Li Chongyuan continued to stir, ignoring this girl at all.

To make money, that is inevitable.

Li Chongyuan originally intended to make raspberry jam this time for old people like Li Yuan and his aunt.

And once the volume increased, the idea of ​​making money came into being spontaneously.

But once such a large amount of raspberries is purchased, the production will inevitably be distributed to Huaishan Vermicelli Workshop for production.

Speaking of Huaishan vermicelli.

It has been in production for several months, and it has long since ended.

The servants in the workshop have nothing to do for a long time, and as soon as the raspberries come out, they can be handed over to make them.

one night.

Li Chongyuan is teaching several servants how to make raspberry jam.

It was not until several servants had fully grasped the technical essentials that the fire ceased.

And this moment.

It was already the dead of night.

Li Yuan and the others had gone back to the house to rest a long time ago.

On the other hand, Wan'er is still very interested. She is in the kitchen with a small notebook and a hard pen in her hand, recording the technical essentials of making raspberry jam that Li Chongyuan taught people just now.

"I said you girl, you don't go to bed in the middle of the night, you just want to make money. Hurry up and go back to sleep, or you won't be able to get up again tomorrow." Li Chongyuan carried the girl out of the kitchen.

Wan'er was not happy, "Fourth brother, let me down, I haven't finished writing yet."

Li Chongyuan didn't care, he directly carried her and walked towards the big house.

early morning.

Li Chongyuan suffered from insomnia again, and fell asleep in the early morning.

And this time.

Outside of Li Zhuang, a large number of people were ushered in.

among them.

There are old people, men, women, and babies in swaddling clothes.

"Old Meng, do you think Uncle Li will take us in when we come like this?" In the crowd, a man asked the old man at the head.

Lao Meng shook his head, feeling a little worried, "I hope County Uncle Li can take us in. If even County Uncle Li doesn't take us in, we will really have no way out in the future. After what happened in Zhaojiazhuang yesterday, those yamen servants also It is said that Zhaojiazhuang may be controlled by the imperial court in the future, and the imperial court is in charge of Zhaojiazhuang, so there is no way for us to survive."

That's right.

This group of people are exactly the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang.

And what that old Meng said was exactly what the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang were afraid of and worried about.

Imperial court.

For these tenants, they are more terrifying than landlords.

There is a saying that people are afraid of officials, let alone those who have experienced hardships and experienced the catastrophe a few years ago.

The imperial court doesn't care about them, and those who can manage them can only borrow money or go away, or sell their children and daughters.

and so.

In their hearts, the imperial court is more vicious than those beasts in the mountains.

to this end.

Last night, after the helpers of the Zhao family village returned, they got together after hearing about the Zhao family's affairs, and discussed how to proceed in the future.

Otherwise, it is impossible for them to bring the old and the young to Li Zhuang at this time.

"bang bang bang"

The knock on the door once again made Li Chongyuan very angry, "Get out of here, and let no one sleep. If anyone disturbs me again, I will kill him!"

Qiao Su, who was standing outside the door, shrank his neck when he heard Li Chongyuan's roar inside.

Josu hesitated.

To knock or not to knock.

However, if the hundreds of tenants in Zhaojiazhuang did not get a reply from Li Chongyuan, they might kneel at the entrance of Lizhuang village today.

With so many people coming to Zhaojiazhuang, Qiao Su, the manager, wanted to suppress him, but he couldn't.

In the end, Qiao Su plucked up his courage and knocked on the door again, "Young Lord, get up quickly, something serious has happened, all the people from Zhaojiazhuang have come here, and some old people have knelt down."

Li Chongyuan in the room was already dozing off and yawning.

In the morning, he finally fell asleep, but Qiao Su came to disturb his lucid dream, got up very angry, "Get lost!"

But when Li Chongyuan came out, Qiao Su's voice rang out again in his ears.

A tenant in Zhaojiazhuang?

kneel down?

Immediately.

Li Chongyuan was startled, got out of bed quickly, and opened the door.

"What's the matter? What happened to Zhaojiazhuang? Why did those tenants come to my Lizhuang so early in the morning and kneel down? Has there been a homicide?" Li Chongyuan glared at Qiao Su and asked loudly.

Qiao Su took a few steps back nervously, "Xiao Langjun, hurry up to the entrance of the village to have a look, all the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang have come, and they all said that if they don't see Xiao Lang today, they will kneel down in my Lizhuang village. I can't leave."

After Li Chongyuan heard the words, he ran downstairs without even putting on his shoes.

When Li Chongyuan arrived at the entrance of the village.

Li Chongyuan really didn't know what happened to Wu Yangyang's head.

"Uncle Li, save us and give us a way to survive."

"Uncle Li, please take us in and give us a way to survive."

"Uncle Li, my family has only lived a stable life for a few days, and our baby is only two months old. Please take us in for my baby's sake."

"..."

All the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang, when they saw Li Chongyuan, knelt down and begged Li Chongyuan to give them a way to survive.

There are many people talking, but all of these words are about giving them a way to survive, or begging Li Chongyuan to take them in.

This made Li Chongyuan seem a little baffled and didn't quite understand.

Li Chongyuan quickly pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to silence, "Everyone, please silence first, and speak slowly when you have something to do. There are so many of you, and I don't understand what's going on."

All the tenants quickly stopped their voices.

As soon as the sound stopped, an old man got up with a cane and bowed to Li Chongyuan, "Mr. Li, we are all tenants of Zhaojiazhuang. The owner of Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Youcai's family, was confiscated yesterday. The Zhao family was confiscated." , we will be out of work in the future, please ask Li County Uncle Li to give our tenants in Zhaojiazhuang a way to survive, old man, I kneel here to ask."

After the old man finished speaking, he immediately knelt down again.
