Nibbling on the bear steak, shopkeeper Wu sighed in admiration.
"Brother, I've benefited from you today. It's so rare to be able to eat such good food on such a cold day!"
The braised bear steak made by Yun Chao himself was soft, glutinous and crispy, with an attractive color, fat but not greasy, and thin but not woody. Even the well-informed shopkeeper Wu enjoyed eating it.
In addition to braised bear steak, there are also stir-fried tenderloin, braised pork sausage, cold shredded ear ears, sweet and sour carp...
Some of the dishes that Shopkeeper Wu had eaten at the Lion House, and some that he had never heard of before, were paired with the rice wine that Yun Chao got from Lai Zhicheng's house, and they were delicious to eat and drink.
I never expected that in a remote place like Wolong Village, I could eat such delicious food. It’s really amazing!
Shopkeeper Wu was also impressed by Lin Youniang's cooking skills. She envied Yun Chao for his good fortune and found a good woman who knew how to cook!
In addition, shopkeeper Wu was surprised to see someone.
"Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"
Zhao Runchun is here to have a meal.
Lao Zhao was not polite to Yun Chao at all. He would eat whatever was delicious and drink whatever was delicious. Who wanted Yun Chao to take advantage of his precious daughter?
They both do business in Qingyang County, so of course they know each other.
While Zhao Runchun was enjoying his meal, he asked Shopkeeper Wu about the situation: "Shopkeeper Wu, are there any changes in the city recently?"
Shopkeeper Wu was confused and didn't know what Zhao Runchun meant: "It's normal in the city. There are no changes. What's wrong? By the way, if there are changes, there really are..."
Zhao Runchun suddenly became nervous: "What change?"
Shopkeeper Wu pointed at Zhao Runchun: "It's you. Everyone said you disappeared. Maybe you were killed by bandits when you went out to buy goods..."
"Then... what about my wife? She hasn't remarried, right?"
Yun Chao: "..."
Shopkeeper Wu: "..."
…
After finishing the meal, Yun Chao finally knew what shopkeeper Wu was here for.
He came to be a lobbyist under the order of Wu County Lieutenant.
Yun Chao guessed right, shopkeeper Wu was from Wu County Lieutenant.
He came to persuade Yun Chao to stand on the same side as Wu Xianwei in the future.
That is to say, he came to win over Yun Chao.
After some investigation, Wu County Lieutenant discovered that Yun Chao was not from County Magistrate Sun, so he began to try to win over him.
If Yun Chao recognizes him, he will treat him as one of his own from now on.
If you don't know how to praise, then I'm sorry. The bandits in Qingyang County have been very violent recently, and they will inevitably do some outrageous things, such as killing a deputy inspector.
Yun Chao wasn't a fool, so he certainly wouldn't hold his neck back and just deal with it with laughter.
Shopkeeper Wu felt that he had completed the task and was very happy. He patted his chest and said, "Brother, please don't be polite to me in the future. We are all our own people. If you have anything to do, just say it. If I can, I will do it for you. If you can't, I'll do it for you." The brother who did it will also find a way to do it for you!"
Yun Chao was not polite: "Shopkeeper Wu, do you remember that toothy old man Zhang?"
Shopkeeper Wu was stunned: "Remember, what happened? Did he offend you, brother?"
Yun Chao smiled: "Shopkeeper Wu, when you go back, send me a message asking him to buy fifty cows at a fair price for me, and the matter between us will be cancelled."
Shopkeeper Wu knew there was a problem here as soon as he heard this: "What's wrong, brother? Tell me, did the man named Zhang do something bad?"
If it was an ordinary trivial matter, such as quoting a high price, earning Yun Chao a few taels of silver more, etc., I believe that with the generosity shown by Yun Chao today, he would never talk to me specifically about it.
Since Yun Chao said so, the problem must not be trivial.
Of course Yun Chao would not hide it for Yaren Zhang: "Last time I asked him to buy livestock, and when he saw that I bought a lot of livestock, he let the news out..."
Needless to say what Yun Chao said next, shopkeeper Wu also knew that Lao Zhang must have colluded with others to blackmail Yun Chao.
"Hmph, brother, tell me how much money they blackmailed you. I will make them repay you twice as much!"
Since Yun Chao agreed to stand by Wu Xianwei's side, Shopkeeper Wu must express his will and show off his abilities.
Yun Chao smiled slightly: "No need, there were a few scoundrels who colluded with two officials and tried to kill people and steal goods on the way. I sent them to another world. Only Lao Zhang was left. I haven't been able to get rid of them." Use your time to settle accounts with him."
"What?"
Yun Chao spoke in an understatement, but Shopkeeper Wu heard the bloodshed.
Although Yun Chao said it simply, Shopkeeper Wu could imagine the scene at that time.
If it weren't for Yun Chao's skill, he might have been killed by those rogues that Yaren Zhang was looking for!
It can be said that Yaren Lao Zhang and Yun Chao no longer have an ordinary hatred. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as life and death enemies!
What surprised Shopkeeper Wu was that after hearing what Yun Chao said, he not only killed a few scoundrels, but also the officials who colluded with them.
Yun Chao spoke out about such a big matter directly without any hesitation. Does this mean that Yun Chao has regarded Old Wu as one of his own?
Being able to become a deputy inspector at such a young age, shopkeeper Wu did not dare to look down on Yun Chao even though he was a low-ranking miscellaneous official.
Just like shopkeeper Wu didn't underestimate Yun Chao when he first met him that day.
I always feel that this young man has a special temperament, which is very rare and different from ordinary people.
Moreover, after a personal visit to Wolong Village today, Shopkeeper Wu strengthened his opinion. Just by looking at the high-spirited momentum shown by the people in Wolong Village, he knew that Yun Chao was not an ordinary person!
Even the ordinary villagers all have rosy complexions and walk with wind, which is completely different from the mud-legged people in other villages.
As for Yun Chao's trusted subordinates, it's even more remarkable. When walking, two people walk in a row, and three people walk in a row. Their steps are neat and their movements are vigorous. You can tell at a glance that they are well-trained!
No wonder just one village was able to defeat the bandits in Black Pine Ridge. It was really extraordinary!
"Brother, don't worry. I'll take care of the purchase of the cow. I introduced you to that tooth man Lao Zhang. I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
If Yun Chao were an ordinary person, how could Shopkeeper Wu care about his life or death.
However, Yun Chao is now not only the deputy inspector, but also the target of Wu County Lieutenant.
In order to make good friends with Yun Chao and to clear up the relationship with Yaren Zhang, shopkeeper Wu had no intention of asking Yaren Lao Zhang to buy some cattle for him and then pull him over, as Yun Chao said.
Of course, Yun Chao would not speak for a Yaren who had a bad conscience. Since shopkeeper Wu was willing to deal with him, he would deal with him. Yun Chao did not have time to focus on a scumbag who could not stand up to the stage.
After sending Shopkeeper Wu away, Shopkeeper Zhao started acting like a monster again.
"Brother Yun, Yun Da inspection, can I discuss something with you..."
