Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 346 Small shop
At dinner time, Xie Jue went back to the room to eat with Su Yue, and at the dinner table, he told about the family of the county magistrate of Wu.

Seeing Su Yue laughing happily, Xie Jue was also in a happy mood. After softly telling Su Yue to rest early, he went out again.

I didn't come back until late at night the next day.

Then, when the sun was shining slightly in the morning, he took Su Yue down the mountain.

This time, they didn't take the big carriage from the capital, and they don't know where Xie Jue got a mule cart that can only sit side by side. He sat in it with Su Yue in his arms, and let Tang Bing drive the two mules pull cart.

Behind, only two guards on donkeys followed.

The post station, the villa, and Jinzhou City form a triangle.

Taking a shortcut from the villa to Jinzhou City is only about [-] miles away.

After walking the ten-mile mountain road, the official road from Dai County came out, and the mules and donkeys were not slow.

At the time of Dechen, a group of people entered Jinzhou City.

Jinzhou City is not big, although the first three times Xie Jue came here were very short, but he had already kept the layout of the city in mind.

I even remember clearly that there were so many people in a shop that made haggis in that alley.

After entering the city, Xie Jue took Su Yue out of the mule cart, asked the guards to find a place to put the cart away, and then walked into the alley.

On their way north, if they want to go to the city to play, they will change into the costumes of ordinary people specially made.

The inner fabric is light and warm, while the outer fabric is coarse cloth that looks very simple. Even the cloak is a fur coat with a layer of fabric added, just like an ordinary coarse cloth cloak.

Around the cloak and hood, no one can see their original appearance.

The two came all the way to eat, drink and have fun in the streets and alleys, but no one noticed.

Today is also wearing the same outfit, the bloated appearance is not much different from the locals walking outside.

Walking into the shop, a few people found a table and sat down. The boss didn't realize that they were foreigners at all, so he yelled, "What do you want?"

With a rough voice, Xie Jue imitated the accent and tone of others, "As usual, four bowls of offal, ten steamed buns, five catties of mutton, and some green onions."

Su Yue listened to his upturned voice, and also brought in a unique local crooked voice, and then looked at his serious face under the hood, and unconsciously covered her mouth.

snicker!

Xie Jue glared at her from under the hood, then bared his teeth at her.

Now it's December, and the weather in Jinju is extremely cold, even a shop with a stove like this is not too warm.

Therefore, there are many guests who do not take off their coats and hats.

The boss responded indifferently, and after a while, put Xie Jue's food on a tray and came.

In addition to the steaming haggis soup, a small charcoal stove was placed on the table with an iron plate on it.

If the meat and steamed buns are cold, put them on top to warm them up.

Xie Jue unconsciously looked up at the boss.

With this thought, no wonder there are so many guests here.

Not only are the details good, but the haggis and lamb are also very fragrant and delicious!
There is no smell of mutton at all.

Su Yue ate with joy.

Xie Jue smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, while chewing the meat in his mouth carefully.

He had eaten mutton without any mutton smell in the Prince's Mansion before, and he went to the kitchen to ask what to use to remove the smell.

At that time, the chef gave him a recipe for making a package.

There are always more than 20 spices in it.

There are many valuable things among them.

But how can this store afford so many spices at this price in such a place, and I'm afraid that Jinzhou City can't find so many spices.

And in this meat, there are also many spices.

However, after a careful taste, it can be tasted that most of the herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine are used here.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold, come on, ah!" Su Yue touched him lightly, picked up a piece of meat and handed it to his mouth.

The thoughts that flashed through his head dissipated, Xie Jue opened his mouth with a narrowed smile, and bit the meat.

"Oh, it's so cold today!" The door curtain was flung open, and someone came in, shouting, "Old Zhang, old man, hurry up, I'm freezing to death."

"Hey, Boss Chen, where did you come back from?" A table of people sitting at the door was blown by the cold wind and shouted while clutching their clothes.

"What else can I do? Wucheng, there has just been a blizzard over there, and the road is frozen." The visitor quickly lowered the curtain.

"Wucheng? What are you doing there?"

"You don't know, the imperial court is fucked up! A bunch of bastards are saying that this year, there will be floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the food can't be supplied, so all the military rations of the frontier army will be deducted. General Wen's food in the spring will not be enough. Isn't that true? I borrowed [-] shi of grain from me. I promised to pay it back in the fall, but now I don’t want to pay it back. There is no grain in Wucheng. It’s a pity. Me, let me raise some more food." The visitor shook his head and found a table to sit down.

"How can this be?" Someone said beside him: "If Wucheng has no food, what will the Rong people do if they come in? The court doesn't care about our life or death?"

"Hey, I said Boss Chen, you didn't really take General Wen's stuff, did you?" Another person glared at him and asked Boss Chen.

"How can I do such a wicked thing? This Wen family defended Wucheng, and many good men died. Now there is only one daughter in the family. They adopted a son, but they ran away without giving any news. Moreover, I am the clearest about how much property General Wen has posted for Wucheng over the years. Now, there is only one old house left, just a few dozen acres of land, and we want to collect it. It can be worth [-] shi. No, do we have to add the [-] shi of grain we borrowed in the spring?"

Boss Chen snorted, and shouted at the boss: "Put more ginger."

After the boss responded, he turned his head and said to those people: "But we are also a small business, and the [-] shi of grain has gone to half of our net worth. We are embarrassed to ask for General Wen's money, but the government can't be ambiguous." Let me go? So, let’s just ask General Wen to make a document and seal it with an official seal, and use the family property as a guarantee so that we can tell the government in the future.”

"Wucheng has [-] garrisons, but only [-] shi of grain, how long can it last?" A person on the table sighed.

"When I came back from Wucheng, I heard that someone came to report to General Wen, saying that it was..."

"Hey, come and watch the fun!" The curtain was lifted again, and a young man said excitedly towards the inside: "Something happened, come out and watch."

Then Mr. Chen accepted the words, and said to the young man, "Er Gouzi, what are you doing!"

When the young man saw him, he laughed twice and said, "Uncle Chen, yes, that's right, something new has happened in the past few days when you were away. The Shui family said that their aunt and grandma, Mrs. Zhen Guo, came back, Looking for people everywhere to ask for money and things, saying that it is to help everyone give the filial piety to Mrs. Zhen Guo, and when the son of Zhen Guo returns, it will naturally benefit everyone. We are all hesitant, so the Shui family sent someone to find Wu County In Ling's house, Mrs. Wu beat her out, and the Shui family began to speak ill of Mrs. Wu everywhere."

Uncle Chen's face sank: "Get to the point!"

"Well, all the yamen servants in the Gang County Yamen have been mobilized, as well as Uncle Li and Uncle He's family. They said that the Shui family did not pay back their debts, and they have already sued the yamen. The magistrate of Wu County sent people to the Shui family to arrest him!"
