Chapter 77 The Soldier Without Fighting

Boss Dao didn't expect that such a person would pop up from the opposite side. He shouldn't look so vulgar, but the words he said were even rougher than the hooligans on the street.

However, he knew why the other party was like this. When a person is facing a desperate situation, he always looks very different from usual, which is probably a rebound from extreme horror.

Boss Dao likes to see people under his threat, begging, or hysterical. This feeling makes him extremely enjoy.So during the whole process, he watched with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Even if the kid on the opposite side pulled him in, he was surprised but not surprised, because like everyone else, he was also thinking about the trap in this passage.What he had seen and heard before told him that the kid on the opposite side was weird and cunning, and he could always surprise people.Yang Qingshan seems to be quite old, but he is not his opponent in terms of words, and he is played around by the opponent.

There was a moment of silence on the scene.

Yang Qingshan turned these words over and over in his mind, fearing that it was another trap dug for him by that boy Mei Zhuangyi.

"What does it matter to you that my boss eats pigs and donkeys during Chinese New Year?" Unable to figure out why, Yang Qingshan decided to adopt a conservative attitude.If under the intentional guidance of the other party, I utter insulting words to the sword boss, because of the moodiness of the sword boss, I am afraid that I will end up badly.

Yang Qingshan felt that he had seen through the other party's sinister intentions, and looked disdainful: "You don't move your messy thoughts, so I won't do what you want."

Mei Zhuangyi looked at Yang Qingshan's cautious little appearance, and smiled: "You say you are an idiot, and you still think that others have wronged you. You are not only an idiot, but also a coward. Forget it, you obviously don't have enough brains. And why expose the truth of the matter so cruelly."

Even though he was already very angry with this guy, Yang Qingshan still underestimated his skill and his endurance.He felt his blood was boiling, and there was a pain in his temple that exploded.

"Answer him."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ear.

Yang Qingshan looked over in surprise, it was the Dao Boss.

He looked at the other party's dark and inexplicable expression, did not dare to hesitate, and began to think about how to answer Mei Zhuangyi.The reason why he didn't dare to hesitate was also because he was too aware of Dao Boss' perverted character. If he was not satisfied, he might have to die on the spot.

Yang Qingshan thought that Zuo was only at a disadvantage in terms of words, which was better than disobeying the boss of the knife, so he said without hesitation: "Eat pigs."

"The donkey thinks so too."

Why does eating pigs have anything to do with donkeys?This idea just flashed through Yang Qingshan's mind for a moment, and then he said: "Then eat donkeys, Chinese New Year is winter, eat donkey meat hot pot to keep healthy." The boss smiled flatteringly.

After a while of silence.

The first person to laugh was not Mei Zhuangyi, but Dao Boss.

His face became ferocious to the extent visible to the naked eye, especially the scar, which began to wriggle like a moving centipede.His left face is like a yaksha, but his right face is very smooth. His bronze skin and sharp eyebrows and eyes form a great sense of contrast.

The thick man's laughter resounded throughout the water.

Seeing that the boss laughed, all the water bandits laughed, regardless of whether they understood or not.

It was like a thunderbolt hit Yang Qingshan's head, and he listened to Dao Lao Dao again: "You are interesting, so let's see, you seem to have a deep hatred with him. If you are willing to follow me, I will hand him over to you." I'll deal with it for you." He pointed at Yang Qingshan beside him with his thick fingers.

"Boss Knife..."

Yang Qingshan wanted to say something, but was kicked away by Dao Boss.

He strode forward, propped one hand on the side of the boat, and stared at the person opposite, "What do you think of my suggestion?"

Mei Zhuangyi glanced at him, "I don't want to be a water bandit."

"What's so bad about being a water bandit? Those who eat hot food drink spicy food, and there are countless women."

"Even if I'm not a water bandit, I can eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and have countless women."

The knife boss pondered for a while and nodded, "That's true. But are you sure you can do it in the future?" He looked around with his eyes, "You will lose everything you have right away, maybe even your life." He A very serious look.

"Didn't you say that you would let us go as long as we were captured without a fight? Could it be that you lied to us?" Mei Zhuangyi looked surprised.

Boss Dao didn't expect him to say that, paused for a moment, and answered honestly: "It's hard to say, it depends on your mood."

"Then how are you feeling now? Is it good or bad?"

"What do you ask for this?"

Mei Zhuangyi took it for granted, "Of course it's up to me to decide what to do next."

"Then I'm in a good mood, what should you do, and in a bad mood, what should you do?"

"If you're in a good mood, we can talk about it. If you're not in a good mood, it must be a battle of swords."

"According to what you said, you still have no plans to give up resistance?"

Mei Zhuangyi looked at the idiot, and looked at Dao Boss: "Do you think I look stupid?"

The knife boss couldn't keep up with the jumping thinking of the opponent, so he could only honestly say: "You are very smart."

"Since I'm smart, I must find a way to escape this catastrophe. Don't let mermaids be slaughtered?"

"But you can't escape, are you proficient in water?"

Dao Boss glanced at the water surface. It seemed that the water surface was beautiful under the moonlight. In fact, if you look carefully, you can see one after another dark vortex under the water layer.They are not very proficient in water, and they will be sucked by the whirlpool when they go down. The name of 'Guitou Beach' is not fake.

Mei Zhuangyi thought for a while and said, "It's not bad, it shouldn't drown if it falls into the water."

"Whether you drown or not has nothing to do with whether you can escape or not. You are a northerner, so even if you are proficient in water, you may not be very good."

Mei Zhuangyi lowered his head, Dao Boss thought he was going to give in, but he suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning and said: "I don't need to know that I can't escape, I just need to know that you don't have many people under your command. Empty City Strategies is pretty good, but you're not Zhuge Liang, and I'm not Sima Yi."

Dao Boss' face suddenly turned ugly.

Just as Han Jin and others had guessed before, Boss Dao did not bring many people this time. It is a rare opportunity to catch a few big fish, so how could he be willing to give up, so he naturally chose to divide his troops into several groups.And because of the lack of manpower here, he purposely sat down in person. It seemed that he brought a lot of people, but there were very few capable ones.Several of his brave and good fighters have been assigned to other places, and here they are in charge of chores in normal times, and they will be used only in special times. It is no problem to hunt some small fish and shrimps. If you encounter hard stubble, you will be as vulnerable as a chicken and a dog.

For a moment, Boss Dao's mood was in a thousand turns, and his face was also uncertain, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"How about we discuss it? You see, our ship is so big, and yours is so small. It's not an opponent at all. And you only have so many people, but we also have a lot of people. Why bother to go to war? There are four boats in total. , the other three boats must have been intercepted by your people, otherwise you would take your people to rob those three boats and let us go?"

Mei Zhuangyi didn't even think about whether he could win the fight, it didn't depend on the size of the boat.Cargo ships are naturally large in order to transport goods, and water bandits like Dao Boss generally choose smaller, light and handy ships for the convenience of maneuvering.

Dao Boss was a bit weird: "Do you think you are selling Chinese cabbage with a bargain?"

Mei Zhuangyi rubbed his nose, "I'm also thinking of you, why bother to kick with an iron plate, easily robbing a few votes is enough for you to eat and drink for several years."

"Then I would like to thank you for thinking of me."

"Don't dare."

Boss Dao didn't speak, his face was dark and inexplicable, while Mei Zhuangyi kept his eyes on his face.

Just now seeing his friend's tongue-in-cheek effect, Han Jin went to Escort Li and asked him to find two good-natured people to find out the truth of each other.The boat on the other side is not very high, as long as you can get closer, you can see what's going on on the boat on the other side.

Because this trip had to travel by water, Qi Chunshang had carefully considered the choice of escort agency before. Li Biaotou and others traveled by water all the year round, so many of his men were proficient in water skills.Two bodyguards with excellent water quality put on the water jacket, dived into the water, swam quietly and took a closer look, and they really saw the clue.

That Dao Boss was really playing an empty city plan, he was very bold, the only few people on the boat stood with him at the bow, there seemed to be a lot of people in other places, but they were actually standing behind the side of the boat with their clothes propped up on wooden stands.The lights on the boat were brightly lit, and torches were burning everywhere, and the flames were so bright that they were far away, so it was natural for people to see clearly.

But even if there are not many people on the other side, there are quite a few people on the willow boats scattered around, and although there are five or sixty people in total, it's not like these water bandits are usually licking blood for a living, so they can If you can't, it's better not to fight as much as possible.

Mei Zhuangyi was very nervous.

"What do you think of my suggestion? We are friends when we go out, so we have to be forgiving and forgiving."

Dao Boss's eyes became darker and darker, he took a deep look at the other party, and nodded slowly after a long time.

"it is good."

"Really?" Mei Zhuangyi couldn't believe it, and was also a little overjoyed, so all his thoughts were revealed on his face.

The knife boss looked at him again before making a gesture.

Give an order, and those willow-leaf boats scattered all around just swam a few times before disappearing into the vast water surface like a ghost.

"We'll meet again."

The head boat sailed away slowly, getting farther and farther away.

"By the way, my name is Wang Yao."

Mei Zhuangyi wiped off his cold sweat.

"Tch, who will meet you again!" He muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Han Jin asked below.

He jumped off the bow: "It's nothing, I just think that person is weird."

Qi Chunshang came closer and said, "These water bandits have unpredictable thoughts, and their ideas are quite different from ordinary people. But you are really good, brother Mei. You can defeat others without fighting, amazing! Amazing!" He said to Mei Zhuangyi Thumbs up.

As thick-skinned as Mei Zhuangyi, he felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

He scratched the back of his head: "It's nothing, isn't this also being rushed? I thought I could help everyone delay for a while, but I didn't expect this to be called Dao Boss. It's so weird."

"It's because we grasped his weakness that he knew he was invincible and retreated. But brother Mei's mouth is really powerful. I used to hear stories about tongue warring heroes in books, and I always felt it was a bit exaggerated. Now seeing Mei I know that the ancients are not exaggerating since I can retreat a strong enemy just by opening my mouth." Captain Li also praised him again and again.

Mei Zhuangyi put on an embarrassing face: "Hahahaha..." After laughing a few times, he said: "I'm just trying to trick him, if you hadn't found out his truth, I wouldn't have said anything to try."

"We have to thank Brother Han for his ingenuity. If he hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have thought of this move."

Han Jin looked flattered, "It's not that I didn't do anything, it's because the bodyguards under Li's bodyguard are very capable."

"Okay, don't push it back and forth, let's go quickly. Who knows if that person will rob those ships, turn around and kill the carbine again." Mei Zhuangyi reminded.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's hearts tensed, Qi Chunshang hurried to tell the helmsman to leave here as soon as possible.

After such a thing happened, Erfang's soybean milk stall naturally stopped.

After the matter is over, it will naturally reopen.

On the first day of reopening, Erfang's family went to the county except for Lu Guangzhi and Wulang who were in school.

After all, such a thing happened, who knows if someone might have misunderstood something, in fact, the Erfang family was also a little nervous, because Mrs. Mei was taken away by officials in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the stall was set up, many regular customers came to the door.

"Boss, we all know what happened to your family. It's all caused by the black-hearted peddler who sold spoiled soybean milk in your family's name. You don't have to be involved."

The Erfang family was a little stunned. Could it be that everyone else knew what happened in his family?

They didn't give them time to think about this problem, and more and more people came to buy soy milk buns, and the four of them were so busy that they didn't even have the time to stop and say a word.

It wasn't until Uncle Chen from the antique shop came to buy breakfast at the stall that the Erfang family didn't know what happened.

It turned out that not long after the incident happened, the county government came to this street to post a notice, probably explaining what happened that day, please don't panic.

The county government was already in charge of appeasement of the people, so it stands to reason that this kind of behavior is normal, but the residents of Wannian County don't know the character of County Magistrate Liu, who is busy enough to scrape land, so how can they care about appeasing the people? Do not appease the people.Others thought that County Magistrate Liu had suddenly changed his temper, and only Erfang's family knew why, and it was probably Catcher Li who contributed to it.The Erfang people are even more grateful, and they can only repay in the future.

"In the future, you don't have to worry about someone stealing your business. People like Xu Cheng came over and said that from now on, hawkers on this street are only allowed to operate exclusively, and others are not allowed to steal business." Uncle Chen said again.

Xu Cheng is a gangster who collects protection fees on this street, and there are more than a dozen brothers under him. Usually, people who come here to set up stalls have to pay protection fees to them every day.They don't charge too much, depending on the quality of the stall's business, the daily payment ranges from one to five Wen.It is said to keep one party safe, but in fact it is just to extort money.But this is the norm everywhere in the county, so the second roomer didn't feel that he could be an exception, and the daily protection fee never fell.

They never expected that Xu Cheng would also step in. Could it be that they finally decided to intervene because the market was too chaotic?

"Then the daily allowance will probably increase a lot, right?" Lu Minghai said.

"I don't know about this, but I haven't heard those people mention it."

The business of the antique shop is slow, and it belongs to the type that does not open in March, but only opens in March, so not only Uncle Chen is busy on weekdays, but also the clerk Xiaosi in the store.Chen Xiaosi was young, couldn't sit still, and ran around the whole street when he had nothing to do, so he couldn't hide the big and small things on the street from him.

Chen Xiaosi knew about it, so naturally Uncle Chen also knew about it.

Since Uncle Chen said he didn't know, it must have not risen.If it had risen, the hawkers who set up stalls would have shouted.

"Mao's Dabing and Xu Cheng said they wanted to sell soy milk, but Xu Cheng and the others didn't agree, saying that the place would be reserved for your family. Brother Lu always said that he is a countryman, and this doesn't look like an ordinary countryman in every way. People." Uncle Chen glanced diagonally across, pointing out something.

The Mao family pancake was the pancake seller that had previously competed with Erfang's family for business. The man's surname was Mao, so everyone called them Mao's pancake.

Originally, the second-bedroom family didn't think much about it, but they became a little puzzled when they heard this.Xu Cheng and the others didn't know each other. Usually, when they came to collect money from members, they would give them a lot of pennies, and they had never seen them give their own pennies less.

Lu Minghai couldn't think of a reason, so he could only smile wryly: "Brother Chen, don't think too much, our family is really ordinary country people."

Uncle Chen didn't doubt this. From the expression on the other party's face, it could be seen that he was not lying, but why did all these incidents show a deliberate intention.

Because of drinking soy milk to death, a life lawsuit occurred. Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, unless you set up a stall in another place, but the government posted a notice.Because the Lu family hadn't set up a stall for a long time, there were many people on this street who wanted to seize the opportunity to grab business, but people like Xu Cheng made such a fuss again.

But all of this had nothing to do with Uncle Chen, he just felt a little strange and curious.Since the Lu family said no, it can only be said that it was luck?
In life, good luck is also a blessing, and Uncle Chen is willing to deal with such people.

Although no one on this street competes with her for business, Lu Jiaoyue never let go of what she was thinking before.

If you are poor, you want to change, and if you change, you will succeed.Although their soy milk is far better than others, as long as this product can make money, someone will inevitably exploit it, and sooner or later someone will exploit it.Since his family wants to make money from this thing for a long time, they must also make money, so that others can only follow behind their own.

Lu Jiaoyue had thought about this issue when she was always being robbed of her business before, and now she brought it up again.

After going to the county twice, Mei refused to let her daughter go again.In her mind, her daughter is a big girl after all, so it's better not to show her face.

Lu Jiaoyue stayed at home, and just took the opportunity to test what she had been thinking a while ago.

In Lu Jiaoyue's opinion, since soybeans can be used to make soy milk, can other beans also be used?For example, red beans, broad beans, peas, and kidney beans are not uncommon in farmers. Almost every household will plant a little beside the field ridge or in the vegetable field. Some are used to make porridge, some are used to cook, and some Can be used to make snacks.Every winter when cats are at home, every child must have a handful of fried beans.

Because beans are not easy to store, country people usually dry them and keep them.Lu Jiaoyue went to the barn to find half a bag of red beans and half a bag of flower kidney beans.Soak it in water first, just like soaking the beans in advance when making tofu at home. After the beans are soaked, put them in a pot and boil them for a while. This is the key step for her soy milk to have no beany smell.

Then, bring the donkey and put it on the millstone.Putting a blindfold on the donkey's eyes, he drove it around the millstone.Put the beans on the grinding plate, add water, and quickly grind two small pots of pulp.

Lu Jiaoyue followed the method of cooking soybean milk at home, adding water to cook, and the first one was red soybean milk.She only cooked some, and when it was done, she scooped it up and tasted it.The taste is unique, but nothing special.She boiled kidney bean milk again, which was even worse than red bean milk, and the taste was so strange.

Lu Jiaoyue stood in the kitchen and thought for a while, then went to her own bean soaking bucket, scooped some soybeans, and went to the stone mill to grind them.

After grinding out the pulp, she thought for a while, scooped some out, and poured the pulp of red beans and flower kidney beans in the same proportion, and put it in the pot to boil.

Soon the pot boiled, Lu Jiaoyue ignored it, but continued to let it cook, while stirring with an iron spoon against the bottom of the pot, so as not to burn the pot.

Once rolled, rolled again, Lu Jiaoyue went to turn off the fire until the strong fragrance wafted out.

A bowl was taken out, some sugar was put in the bowl, and after blowing it to cool down, Lu Jiaoyue took a sip.

As soon as the soy milk entered her mouth, Lu Jiaoyue was deeply moved by the taste.Unexpectedly delicious, the aroma of soybeans combined with the sweetness of red bean itself and the slightly sourness of flower kidney beans create a very strange taste.

She showed an excited smile, she knew that her direction was not wrong.

In the next few days, when nothing happened, Lu Jiaoyue secretly experimented at home. During this period, she tried to put black beans, sesame seeds, peanuts, and even rice and glutinous rice in it.Although a lot of things went wrong, as she experimented more times, she became more and more thoughtful.

On this day, Lu Jiaoyue had just cooked a small pot of five-grain soy milk, which she randomly named.Gui Ya came to the door suddenly, and as soon as Lu Jiaoyue opened the courtyard door, she realized that something was wrong with Gui Ya.

Since starting a business at home, Guiya has become more lively and confident day by day, and she has never seen her like this before, like an eggplant beaten by frost, her whole body is full of excitement. Withered.

"What's wrong?"

As Lu Jiaoyue asked, she pulled Guiya in.

After she was asked to sit down in the room, she remembered what she had put in the stove.

"Sit down first, I'll bring you something to drink."

Soon, Lu Jiaoyue came over with two bowls of soy milk.

"Try it," she said.

Gui Ya took it and held it in her hand, but she didn't have the slightest desire to drink it.

She glanced at Lu Jiaoyue, her face was ashen and said: "Jiaoyue, my mother said she wants to go back to the Chen family."

"The Chen family?" Lu Jiaoyue was taken aback for a moment.

"My father has been arguing about a separation from the family these two days, and my mother is going back to my father's side, planning to live with the widow and my father, and bring me and Taoya and Xiaoya together."

Lu Jiaoyue was stupid at the moment, how could she be like this?
