Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 21
Lu Nanzhi and Shen Lanze did not stop, but walked forward at a faster speed.

Lu Qinghe trotted all the way to the outside of the capital like this, she was so tired that she was out of breath.

"Lu, Lu Nanzhi, are you deliberately not waiting for me? I'll tell grandma when I get back."

"Aside from suing and framing people, what else can you do? I advise you to be honest and be careful not to hurt others and eventually harm yourself." Lu Nanzhi didn't bother to look at her, and stared at the officers and soldiers in front of him.

There are quite a few people entering the city at this time, most of them are hawkers and merchants.

Soon it was their turn, the officers and soldiers checked briefly, and the three came to the capital just like that.

The city is a bit deserted at the moment, and there are not so many pedestrians shuttling back and forth.

There are taverns, pawnshops, workshops, cloth shops on both sides of the street, and many unopened shops that don't know what to do.

"Where are we going to set up a stall?" Lu Nanzhi tilted his head and looked at the person pushing the cart.

Shen Lanze has stayed in the capital before, so he should be more familiar with it than they are.

"I thought of a good place." Shen Lanze pushed the car forward again.

This road is a crossroads. The left side is the main road leading to the outside of the city, and the right side is connected to most of the small alleys in the city. Some common people live in these alleys.

Shen Lanze led the two of them through another alley, and after walking out of the alley, they came to an overpass and stopped.

"There is no one here to set up a stall. People passing by on the overpass are either rich or expensive, and they can sell for a good price here."

Lu Nanzhi was not very familiar with the capital, so he could only follow Shen Lanze's advice.

She stood on the overpass and looked forward. The river in the distance was green, and there were dense trees and some sparse flowers and plants on both sides of the river.

"This is indeed a good place."

Lu Qinghe muttered, "What can I do?"

"No one is forcing you to come. If you don't want to stay, you can leave now." Lu Nanzhi turned back unceremoniously, obviously he insisted on coming, and no one forced her.

When Lu Qinghe heard it, he jumped up angrily and accused him: "If you hadn't hidden the money last time, why would I have come with you this time? I just want to keep an eye on you so that you don't hide the money again!"

Only then did Lu Nanzhi understand why she insisted on following, and that was why.

"If you want to stay any longer, just shut up." Lu Nanzhi ignored her and began to look around.

There is a woman who sells a stall under the overpass, and it is full of people at this time.

"Ms. Liu, bring us a bowl of hot noodle soup."

"Miss Boss, bring us a bowl of noodles."

"Miss Boss, bring us four buns."

Lu Qinghe was ignored, and her face turned red with anger, but she really didn't have the guts to make trouble anymore, so she had to step aside resentfully.

Lu Nanzhi found that the food was sold very quickly, and was a little worried when he saw the unsold wild pork in front of him.

It seems she miscalculated.

The three of them faced the sun like this until noon.

Lu Qinghe couldn't stand the sunburn, so he ran to a big tree not far away to enjoy the shade.

"You also go to hide from the sun, I'll just keep an eye on it here." The person who caused Lanze to see his face flushed said.

Lu Nanzhi pinched his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's not an option to go on like this, why don't we go to the restaurant and ask."

"Alright."

Shen Lanze pushed the car and Lu Nanzhi came to a restaurant and stopped.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw their wild pork, his eyes flickered slightly, "Seeing that you are so young and pushing so hard, I will reluctantly accept it and give you three taels of silver.

Shen Lanze and Lu Nanzhi looked at each other, cursing inwardly, this restaurant is too dark!
They only gave them three taels of silver for so much wild boar meat, thanks to him being able to say it.

"The shopkeeper, can you ask your boss to come out." Shen Lanze stepped forward and said neither humble nor overbearing.

The shopkeeper immediately showed an impatient expression, "Our boss is not here, if you don't want to buy, then leave quickly, don't disturb our business."

"Hey, why are you like this?" Lu Nanzhi wanted to argue with him, but he was pushed out the door and almost bumped into the man walking behind him.

The person who came was a man in his forties, dressed in silk and satin, and looked smart and capable.

Shen Lanze recognized that the person in front of him was the owner of the restaurant, pulled Lu Nanzhi and said deliberately: "He doesn't want such a good wild pork, let's sell it to the restaurant opposite, but the opposite gave us a price of five taels."

When the shopkeeper saw the man behind the two, his face became extremely ugly, "Although this wild pork is fresh, it is not worth so much money. I think you are young and ignorant, so I will let you Take the wild boar back, you must know how to praise."

"Then tell me, what price should we get?" Although Lu Nanzhi didn't know why Shen Lanze said that, he still asked along with his words.

"What's going on?" The man behind him suddenly asked.

"Boss, you are just two ignorant children. Why did you come so early today?" The shopkeeper changed his expression, pushed away his lover who was standing in front of him, and came to greet the man with a smile on his face.

Lu Nanzhi looked at the dog-legged appearance of the shopkeeper, and couldn't help snorting coldly, "It's too unkind for you to do business here. You only give us three taels of silver for so much wild pork, and you say we are ignorant, so who is sensible? It's just for nothing. sensible?"

"You!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant was suddenly pissed off.

"Three taels of silver?" The owner of the restaurant raised his brows lightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant wanted to explain, but the owner interrupted directly, looked at Lu Nanzhi and said with a smile: "I'll give you ten taels of silver, how about selling all these wild pork to me?"

Lu Nanzhi didn't expect this person to give such a high price, so he froze for a moment.

Shen Lanze smiled and agreed, "Of course, thank you, my boss."

Lu Nanzhi accepted the ten taels of silver in a daze, a little in disbelief.

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Boss, this wild pork meat doesn't look very fresh at first glance. I'm afraid I will lose money if I buy it at such a high price!"

The shopkeeper looked over, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Lanze cupped his hands and pulled Lu Nanzhi away from the restaurant.

"We earned ten taels of silver." Lu Nanzhi put the silver in his arms excitedly, with a smile almost overflowing his eyes.

Lu Qinghe walked towards him, and asked when he saw the dancing people, "Where's the wild pork?"

"Sold it." Lu Nanzhi said indifferently.

He was about to walk past her when he was grabbed.

"How much money was sold and where did it go? Where is the money?" Lu Qinghe asked.

Lu Nanzhi shot his cold eyes over, "What are you, worthy of questioning me?"

"You!" Lu Qinghe looked behind her, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

With all her strength, she pushed Lu Nanzhi back violently.

Lu Nanzhi staggered two steps, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Shen Lanze was about to go over to help him up, when a carriage came galloping.

"Get out of the way!" Shen Lanze shouted.

Lu Qinghe's eyes were gloomy, and a vicious smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.
