    ?

    Han Xing came on horseback accompanied by an adult in sapphire blue riding clothes, and reined in the horse in front of the stall.

    Yuzhi looked intently, and saw that the man was very handsome, although he looked about twenty-four or five years old, but with delicate features and a slender figure, he was clearly still a teenager.

    Not knowing what happened, Mrs. Wang immediately reached out to hold Yuzhi's hand, and took half a step forward, blocking Yuzhi's front.

    Chen Yaozu also stopped what he was doing, and looked over hesitantly.

    Yuzhi whispered: "Mother, it's all right."

    She stepped forward to bless her: "I have met you, my lord!"

    Master Xu looked at the three members of the Chen family, and saw that they were all clean and well-born, especially the little girl, whose palm-sized face and big eyes were crystal clear, which was simply out of proportion.  The words "big-eyed thief" appeared, and he couldn't help laughing.

    When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescents, a pair of small dimples on his cheeks, and two small canine teeth were exposed, not to mention how cute and amiable he was: "Your braised pork is delicious, can you supply it in large quantities?"

    Both Chen Yaozu and Wang Shi were too nervous to speak at this time, and stood there in a daze.

    Yuzhi immediately smiled and said: "Sir, I wonder how much you want? When will you want it?"

    That guard, riding on the horse, looked up and thought for a while, probably counting the number of people, and said after a while: "One hundred catties, I'll send someone to pick it up in the morning of the next day!"

    Yuzhi blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "My lord can just send someone to pick it up in the morning. A catty of stewed meat is 40 Wen, and a hundred catties is a total of 4 taels of silver. My lord pays 2 taels of silver as a deposit first!"

    Xu Bing didn't expect that the three of the Chen family were in charge of this little girl, so he couldn't help laughing again, looked at Chen Yaozu and Wang, and tapped Han Xing on the head with a whip with a smile: "Don't pay the deposit yet!"

    Han Xing agreed, got off the horse, took out two small silver locks from his sleeve pocket and gave them to Yuzhi: "One tael each, two taels in total!"

    Yuzhi took the silver curb, bowed her knees and saluted: "Thank you, sir!"

    Wang Shi had been sleepwalking for half a day, and now she woke up. She pulled Chen Yaozu, and the two of them saluted Xu Shoubei together.

    Na Xu guarded his smile, his handsome face suddenly became indifferent, and his voice seemed to be frozen: "If there is any mistake, it will be dealt with by military law."

    Yuzhi looked up at Xu Shoubei, with a calm attitude and a calm voice: "My lord, on the one hand, I am also a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and on the other hand, I will not joke about the lives of my family. Please rest assured, my lord."

    This lord is supervising the repair of the fortress, and she wants so much stewed meat all at once, which should be for the soldiers who built the fortress. She is also a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how could she poison the soldiers of her own country?

    Xu Shoubing probably liked to laugh a lot. He lowered his head and smiled, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly, and beat the horse.

    Han Xing hurriedly explained to Yuzhi in a low voice: "This is for the soldiers who built the fort. If it is good, I will come to your house in the future; if there is anything wrong, your family's heads will not be saved!"

    Yuzhi answered "yes" and watched as Han Xing got on his horse and chased after him.

    After Han Xing left, Wang looked at Yuzhi with a trembling voice: "Yuzhi, what should I do?"

    Yuzhi took Wang's arm affectionately: "Mother, it's okay, I'm here!"

    She looked at Chen Yaozu: "Father, prepare one hundred and twenty catties of pork belly for me tomorrow morning!"

    Chen Yaozu thought for a while, and said: "I will go to Yangguan Temple to discuss with Tang Erbao at night, and it should be fine."

    There are few villains in Xihe Town, and half a pig can't be sold out in a day, so Chen Yaozu slaughters a pig every day, keeps half a pig for himself, and gives half a pig to his partner Tang Erbao for Tang Erbao to sell on Yangguansi Street.

    After Yuzhi and Chen Yaozu made the decision, they took Wang Shi to find Mrs. Zhao to buy big ingredients. The big ingredients she bought before were not enough, so she had to add some more.

    Xiulan was cleaning up the stall with her mother, Mrs. Zhao, when she saw Yuzhi and Mrs. Wang coming over, she laughed.

    Aunt Zhao said in a low voice: "Congratulations! Sister-in-law Chen, you are going to do official business, and your family is going to get rich!"

    Wang's heart was filled with joy, and she tried her best to suppress her joy, but she couldn't hold back her elation: "Who knows, maybe it's just a one-off deal, and there will be no second time!"

    But Xiulan pulled Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, is that Master Xu Shoubing?"

    Yuzhi nodded: "It should be."

    Xiulan said "ah" in surprise: "It's true! Didn't Xu Shoubei be in Wei's City for ten years, and he's in his fifties? He's a young man! He doesn't look very old."  !"Yuzhi's arm hurt from Xiulan's pinching, she broke away from Xiulan, and said with a smile: "You are really beautiful¡ªmaybe it's a hereditary position, I have been doing it since I was a child, I don't know!"

    Twelve years ago, Xu Zhaoen, a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, defeated the Xixia army outside Xihe, known as the Great Victory of Xihe. I don't know if Master Xu has anything to do with Xu Zhaoen.

    Xiulan took a deep breath: "If it's Mr. Xu, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to enter the garrison"

    Yuzhi: ""

    She raised her hand and tapped Xiulan on the head: "Wake up, I want to buy aniseed ingredients, let's weigh them with dice!"

    Xiulan laughed: "What do you want? Everything is packed and packed. I'll get you whatever you want!"

    Yuzhi had a plan in mind, and immediately said: "Fragrant leaves, grass cardamom, fragrant sand, ¡õ¡õ, nutmeg, cloves, tangerine peel"

    While taking it out of the cage, Xiulan hurriedly said: "Slow down, slow down! I can't even make it in time!"

    Yuzhi laughed and really slowed down.

    It wasn't until night fell that the three members of the Chen family walked towards home.

    Chen Yaozu pulled the cart and walked slowly, Yuzhi and Chen Shi followed.

    Yuzhi confessed as she walked: "Father, mother, don't mention today's matter when you go home, lest my grandma and little aunt get into trouble again, this is not a trivial matter!"

    Wang looked at Chen Yaozu proudly: "Yuzhi's father, did you hear that?"

    In fact, Chen Yaozu also knew that his parents and younger sister were not easy-going lamps, and he was especially worried that his sister would make some jokes when he learned that Mr. Xu was young and handsome, so he muffled: "I know, don't worry!"

    After arriving home, they saw Mrs. Dong busy in the kitchen alone, so Mrs. Wang and Yuzhi hurriedly washed their hands and went to help.

    Mrs. Dong was standing in front of the chopping board rolling out noodles. When she saw Mrs. Wang and Yuzhi coming in, she smiled and said, "Stir fry Chinese cabbage tonight and make a pot of noodle soup!"

    Yuzhi took the Chinese cabbage and was about to wash it, but she heard Mrs. Wang say from behind: "If you didn't post cakes for your in-laws and sister-in-law, they might throw the pot!"

    Mrs. Dong sighed and said: "The wheat and corn at home are gone, so there is only this little noodle left. After eating this noodle soup, I can only drink peach and millet batter tomorrow morning. As long as they can make me wheat and corn  Come on, I will let them make trouble!"

    Yuzhi was about to go out with the vegetable sink, but when she heard this, she stopped in her tracks, turned around and asked, "Where's the food at home?"

    Mrs. Wang snorted and said, "Yuzhi, you forgot that after the new year, Yuchuan is going to take the county examination. Your second uncle's family is in a hurry to spend money, so they urged your in-laws to sell all the food in the family. Originally, they said they would wait for Yuchuan to take the examination.  Shangxiucai paid back the money when he got it, but Yu Chuan was admitted as a scholar, so he never mentioned the matter of returning Gongzhong's food!"

    Yuzhi: ""

    This Chen family is really hard to describe!

    She turned around and went out to wash the vegetables.

    After the dinner was ready, the men of the family and Gao's Chen Jiaoniang and her daughter sat in the main room, waiting for Wang's and Dong's to bring the meal.

    Seeing that Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Dong sent only thin soup noodles, Chen Jiaoniang was immediately annoyed, stopped Wang and Dong, frowned and said: "Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, there are only thin noodles, I can't eat enough."

    Forced to suppress her anger, Wang said: "The white flour at home is gone, and the cornmeal is gone."

    Chen Jiaoniang slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the square table: "Since they are gone, why don't you sharpen them in time?"

    Dong's back straightened: "The family has no more wheat and corn."

    Seeing that her elder sister-in-law and third sister-in-law were against her, Chen Jiaoniang was about to throw a tantrum, but was held back by Gao.

    Mrs. Gao pressed Chen Jiaoniang's shoulders with her hands, and said, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Dong, you all go out, it's okay!"

    Chen Jiaoniang pouted and was about to speak, but seeing Gao winked at her, she had to keep silent.

    Chen Fugui and Gao Shi looked at each other, and then both looked at the boss Chen Yaozu¡ªit was already like this, the second child couldn't afford the money to buy food, and the boss had to come out to solve the matter!

    Chen Yaozu had something on his mind, and he wasn't afraid of the heat, so he ate a bowl of thin noodle soup in twos and said, "Father, mother, I'll go out for a while", without giving Chen Fugui and Gao a chance to react, he got up and went out.

    He had to go to Yangguan Temple to find Tang Erlang, and discuss the matter of the 120 catties of pork belly tomorrow.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
