Destiny Only Han

Jiangxia County.

The alley outside the county government hall.

After hearing what Liu Ying said, not only Liu Le agreed, but even Liu Bang and Lu Wan also believed deeply.

They were going to wait until the woman came out of the court before going forward to inquire about the news.

But waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and then the woman did not walk out. She only saw the proud black-faced fat man walking out of the county government office and walking towards the square in the distance. The city walked away slowly.

Liu Ying nodded lightly, and two Qi Menlang dressed as attendants followed immediately.

"Huh?"

"Oh!"

Liu Le was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with the expression of "as expected of you".

After all, not only the two Qi Menlang left, but the bustling crowd around the county government office suddenly became empty by a third...

No wonder she has always had the illusion that there are so many people wandering around in Jiangxia County, an inconspicuous small county town in South County...

It's just the basics... The corners of Liu Ying's mouth raised, and then drooped down again.

hungry.

Liu Ying looked at Liu Le and asked, "Let's go eat!"

Liu Le frowned and looked at the sky: "The restaurant has just closed at this time, just wait, just wait for another two or three hours!"

Liu Ying rubbed her stomach: "Why don't people call Wu Shiqi out of the county government office, and let's go to his house for a meal? His father knows me very well..."

Liu Bang stroked his palms: "Good!"

Lu Wan also nodded heavily.

Liu Le: "..."

Zhang Buyi smiled all over his face, shook his head and said, "I do know where there is food to eat now, but don't dislike pickled meat..."

Liu Ying asked: "What do you mean by pickling? It can't be a dark dish, right?"

He was eager to try it immediately.

Zhang Buyi shook his head again: "No, it's just that the dining environment is a bit poor...but the ingredients must be fresh enough!"

Liu Bang curled his lips: "What's that called pickling! When Nai Gong used to fall into grass and mangdang, which meal didn't include bark, grass roots, stones and clods? When eating, everyone sat on the ground. Who has tables, chairs and benches to use?"

Lu Wan was full of approval, and she and Liu Jia began to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness.

After a while, Liu Ying asked: "Don't be impatient, where are you going to eat?"

He was really hungry, not only him, but Liu Qi who was standing next to him also looked hungry.

Zhang Buyi said: "It's the south of the city wharf. Jiangxia County has a very good geographical location, and most of the cargo ships from the south to the north converge here! Merchant ships dock at any time, and the dock workers naturally don't have a fixed time to eat, so there must be no shortage around the wharf before the curfew." Open a restaurant for business!"

Liu Ying nodded: "Let's go! Just leave two Qi Menlang here to watch!"

Liu Qi pulled his sleeve and whispered in a voice that Liu Le could hear: "Father, I am in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring money..."

Liu Ying waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, aunt is rich!"

Liu Le: "..."

She swears, if there were not so many people here, she would definitely beat up the two father and son who sang double reeds to steal her money!
....................................

City South Pier.

Today's Jiangxia County is probably the future of Wuhan, Hubei. Although it does not have the reputation of being the thoroughfare of nine provinces, with the development of the Jiangnan area, the importance of this place faintly exceeds that of Anlu County, the county seat.

On the wharf, accompanied by the sound of rattling, steam cranes effortlessly transfer the heavy load from the big ship to the small boat. After that, these small boats equipped with steam turbines will go up the river, and then turn around. Enter the Hanshui River, and finally transport the goods from Wuguan to Guanzhong by land.

Today, there are 3000 to [-] million people living in the Guanzhong Plain, and tons of rice, flour, grains, oils, chickens, ducks, and fish are consumed every day, making the current river somewhat like a golden channel for future generations.

When Liu Ying and others arrived, several cargo ships happened to enter the port, and the stevedores who had been sitting at the entrance of the restaurant suddenly dispersed, rushing to the pier.

Well, piecework counts.

The waiter in the shop was not surprised by this, but rushed out with a white cloth on his shoulders, looked at Liu Bang who was in the middle of the crowd, nodded and bowed, and asked, "It's a coincidence that the guests came. There was an accident during loading and unloading of a cargo ship carrying livestock in the morning. More than a dozen Xiangshi sheep had their ribs broken!"

"Therefore, the shop has the freshest mutton to offer!"

Liu Ying asked: "Xiang's sheep? What do you mean?"

The waiter turned his head and asked curiously, "Yo? Listen to the accent, could this guest be from Chang'an City?"

Liu Ying nodded.

The waiter in the shop only glanced at Liu Ying, then lowered his head immediately, a little ashamed of himself, but more of fear.

He has seen a lot of businessmen traveling from south to north, even those high-ranking officials who are known as the noble sons of Chang'an, but there has never been a person as indescribable as the person in front of him!
How should I put it, he and Liu Ying just looked at each other, and his heart was beating fast, and he almost knelt on the ground with a thud...

Without him, it's scary.

After all, Liu Ying's eyes are majestic and fierce, which can even scare away those empty-headed cats...

So, the waiter put away his showy thoughts and began to explain: "Xiang's sheep is a special product of Kuaiji County. It is tender and delicious, with a light smell. It is said that it is better than Huns sheep. If it is transported to Chang'an City, It can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars at will!"

Zhang Buyi suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case...but Zhenze sheep are Zhenze sheep, why do you say Xiang's sheep?"

Liu Ying turned her head: "So you have eaten it?"

Zhang Buyi nodded up and down: "Yeah. But the taste is not as good as the Yanchi sheep that Beidi County paid tribute... But a Hu sheep is worth ten thousand yuan, and an ordinary Yanchi sheep is less than two thousand yuan. There is a big difference between the two, just like you As you said, the IQ tax..."

The shop waiter was full of dissatisfaction.

But he looked up at Zhang Buyi, his eyes were a little blurred, and he didn't say anything in the end.

"That's not what you said." Liu Ying shook her head: "Beidi County is very close to Guanzhong, and there is a steam train. Basically, the Yanchi sheep will be delivered on the same day, and they can be transported to Guanzhong the next day."

"But the Zhenze sheep are different. It travels thousands of miles, all the way by water and land. I don't know how much labor and feed it will cost, and I don't know how many people will die on the road. These are all costs!"

"The price is a bit higher, which is a matter of course!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the waiter in the shop: "But you are different! You are not in Guanzhong, if you sell it for ten thousand yuan, you may smash the shop of a profiteer like you!"

Smelly brother actually saved me money, woo woo woo... Liu Le was inexplicably moved.

The waiter in the shop heard the words, nodded and bowed his head and said: "How dare you dare... Our shop has been able to operate in this Jiangxia Wharf for many years, relying on a young man who is innocent and makes small profits but quick turnover! Customers, just rest assured!"

Liu Bang suddenly asked: "You haven't said why it's called Xiang's sheep?"

The waiter sang with his hands in his hands, smiling broadly: "To tell you what the old lady is saying, the so-called Xiang sheep is related to the overlord of Western Chu who used to compete with the emperor of this dynasty for the world..."

Liu Bang froze for a moment, his eyes widening.

HT?

You are so brave... Liu Ying crossed her arms, smiled and said nothing.

After all, Liu Bang is a thief who holds a grudge. For this reason, he ordered the world not to call Xiang Yu Xiang Yu, and could only call him Xiang Ji by his first name and surname. Now the waiter in the shop dares to call Xiang Yu the Overlord of Western Chu. If he were replaced by a certain In the dynasty, I am afraid that the nine clans will be happy every minute...

The shop waiter didn't realize it, and continued: "That's what happened when the Qin Dynasty was in power. The Xiang family is hiding in Kuaiji County. Although Xiang Liang is the county guard's guest, the thousands of people in the family can't just sit and eat, right?"

"Thus, the Xiang family has engaged in various livelihoods, such as funerals!"

"So that all the guest officials know that although this funeral may not sound good, it is really making money! Moreover, Xiang Liang even used the Ministry of War to strangle the guests and his children..."

"But how can the overlord be subject to such constraints?"

"Therefore, Bawang lived on the edge of Zhenze (Taihu Lake), herding sheep and fishing for a living..."

"I think that the overlord can't learn books and swords, but he is very proficient in the way of herding sheep. Not only has he realized the art of war to conquer the world, but he has also achieved the delicacy of this sheep!"

Liu Bang laughed loudly: "What a man who is very proficient in the art of herding sheep! I will definitely eat two more pounds of sheep today!"

Liu Jiao and Liu Jia were also smiling.

Liu Ying raised the corners of her mouth and remained silent.

After all, only when the opponent is strong can you highlight your own strength. Now that you have won against a sheep herder, no, you fought back and forth with a sheep herder, how can you still boast?
But Liu Ying naturally wouldn't say this sentence.

Liu Ying asked: "So, how to eat this sheep?"

The shop waiter replied: "Of course it's meat in clear soup! I heard from those merchants that if this kind of good mutton is added with too many seasonings, it will be ruined!"

Liu Ying nodded: "Then stop talking nonsense and serve it up!"

After a while, amidst the mess of cups and plates, Liu Ying felt that there was something wrong with eating only meat, so she looked around until she saw a group of stevedores walking back slowly with heavy steps.

"Xiao Er, soy sauce noodles, put more chopped green onions for free!"

"Xiaoer, a bowl of mutton noodle soup! Put more noodles and no mutton!"

……

Amidst the chatter of the group of stevedores, Liu Ying stared at her dipping plate, and her eyes lit up.

There is tahini!
There are noodles!

Soy sauce is here!

If there are dried radish and sour beans to relieve the tiredness, wouldn't a magically modified version of Jiangxia hot dry noodles be freshly baked?
Liu Ying nodded lightly to herself, but saw a hurried Qi Menlang coming from a distance.

This was the person he sent to wait for Ruan at the gate of the county government office.

"What happened?"

ps: One time when I accompanied a certain idiot leader on a business trip to a certain place and was stopped for inspection, I saw vegetable trucks passing by in a constant stream. The dropped things are indeed astronomical.Well, as for the envy, it's mainly because our car lined up for two miles...

pps: Hu sheep are said to be Mongolian sheep brought by the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty.So, don't get to the bottom of it.
