As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
The smile on Jiang Sheng's face disappeared visibly and turned into panic.
Xu Mo wanted to roll up his sleeves and slap this stupid brother. Considering his status as a scholar, he could only grind his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Boy, what are you talking about?"
Only then did Zheng Ruqian realize that his wording was wrong, and he quickly scratched his head and said, "What I mean is that I have to go on a long trip and won't be back until a few days later."
A year ago, I went to Danyang County and brought back a roast duck. Zheng Laoer also gave one to Shopkeeper Hao.
Because it has been kept for a long time, the skin is not crispy and the meat is tender, but under the skillful heating of the restaurant chef, it has a different flavor when dipped in the marinade. Shopkeeper Hao was so surprised that he even wanted to order another hundred. Selling in a restaurant.
How can this be.
Zheng Ruqian transports and sells vegetables. Whether they are dried vegetables or fresh vegetable leaves, they can be stored for half a month in winter, and can be kept for five or six days in summer if they are carefully stored.
But roast duck is not good. Even in the cold winter, it will go bad after seven or eight days. In summer, it will grow hair on the second day, so it cannot be transported at all.
Shopkeeper Hao thought he was raising the price, so he was so cruel that he paid a sky-high price of two taels of silver each.
Zheng Ruqian was stunned at that time.
He bought this duck in Danyang County for only thirty or forty cents each, and he paid for it so many times just by flipping his hands.
It was also at this moment that he truly realized the differences between regions.
Things that are ordinary in the local area can be sold for sky-high prices in another area.
Maybe it's because things are rare and valuable, or maybe rich people like to eat rare things, but no matter what, the price difference between two taels of silver and thirty or forty coins moved Zheng Ruqian.
He originally planned to go to Danyang County after the Lantern Festival, and while bringing back the roast duck, he also wanted to hire someone to take this route.
But Jiang Sheng had been depressed, and he didn't dare to mention it. The matter of going to Danyang County was put off again and again, until now.
Jiang Sheng was finally happy, and Zheng Ruqian couldn't wait to start his own money-making plan.
As a result, he was short-tempered and said the wrong thing.
Looking at Xiao Jiang Sheng's pale face, Zheng Ruqian was angry and regretful. He scratched his head and didn't know what to do. "Second brother is wrong. Second brother said the wrong thing. Second brother will not leave you. Third brother will not leave us either." , he just went to do his own thing, and we will still be reunited in the future...I...oh!"
He really felt that it was wrong to talk too much.
Zheng Ruqian wanted to slap his big mouth.
Although Xu Mo on the side was angry at his second brother's stupidity, he still explained to him dutifully, "This trip should only take a few months to come back, very soon."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely come back before the big brother's exam." Zheng Ruqian seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and climbed along the pole with all his strength.
Jiang Sheng looked at his two brothers and reluctantly curled up his lips.
She was really frightened by the second brother's words just now. She thought that after the third brother left, the second brother would also leave her.
Now that I know it was an error, I am finally not so panicked, but just a little bit sad.
But she didn't want her brothers to worry, so she could only force a smile and say, "I'm fine, second brother, you go back early and pay attention to safety."
"As long as you come back, as long as you are still Jiang Sheng's brother, that's enough."
The little girl tightened her clothes, her face was obviously pale, but she still wanted to smile.
This scene made every brother feel distressed and was imprinted in their hearts. No matter where they were, they would always remember that there was a sister at home waiting for their return.
the next day.
Zheng Ruqian drove the carriage, took Wang Xiaosong and Jiang Si, and headed straight to Danyang County in the south.
The eldest brother went to a government school and had to take the national examination in April. He was under a lot of pressure.
Only Xiao Jiang Sheng, Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan stood in the east of Anshui County. After watching Zheng Ruqian's carriage disappear, they slowly turned around and returned to Hairpin Garden from the east of the city.
Passing by the Anshui County Sheriff's mansion, Chang Yan keenly noticed that there were outsiders.
They were neatly dressed, driving a three-horse carriage, with a high and indifferent expression. They occasionally looked around, with Sheng Ling's arrogance and indifference, and they regarded the local people of Anshui County as ants.
Chang Yan frowned.
He doesn't like this kind of condescending arrogance. We are all human beings, with two arms and two legs. We eat with our mouths open and sleep with our eyes closed. We can be rich or poor, but there should be no distinction between high and low.
Moreover, one or two of them seemed familiar.
Just as he turned to look at the carriage where Chang Yan was sitting, the young man immediately lowered the curtain, retracted his head, and leaned against the wall of the carriage.
"Xiaowu, what's wrong?" Wen Zhiyun asked in confusion.
Chang Yan shook his head and whispered to Jiang San, who was driving the car, "Go slowly."
Jiang San got the order. Although he was puzzled, he still slowed down the carriage.
The group of people moved like turtles, and finally heard the sound of the door of the Anshui County Sheriff's residence opening.
Immediately afterwards, Governor He gave a half-smile, "Butler Fang from Fengjing came to Xiao Anshui County in person. I am really scared in my heart. What kind of thing can make you personally go out?"
The so-called third-rank official in front of the prime minister. Although the middle-aged man in front of him is just a housekeeper, he is a member of the Fang family in Fengjing. He is also the most trusted servant of the head of the Fang family and is responsible for many important affairs of the Fang family.
Even if the Anshui County Sheriff is a serious official, he still has to show some courtesy to Butler Fang.
"It's nothing serious, but I'm just here to remind Governor He not to forget the agreement we made with the Fang family back then." Butler Fang straightened his clothes and said without being humble or overbearing, "Also, it's not easy for the Sun family now. I hope your lord Hold your hand high."
This is to force the Anshui County Sheriff and the Sun family to turn their hostility into friendship.
I couldn't hear the rest because I was too far away.
But Chang Yan had good eyesight, and through the opened car curtain, he could clearly see Governor He's dark complexion and unhappy expression.
"Fifth brother, has someone come to hurt third brother?" Jiang Sheng quickly crawled over, pursed his lips, and his expression could not be said to be happy or worried, "Fortunately, third brother has left. Although the place where he went is not peaceful, third brother There is a saying that is right, Anshui County is the most dangerous place."
However, Chang Yan shook his head.
The person who needs to worry most now is no longer Fang Heng, but them who stay in Anshui County and cannot leave.
Fortunately, their parents, Guan He County Sheriff, were not willing to be driven by the Fang family.
Fortunately, they still have the support of the Wang family.
"You must keep an eye on the workshop during this period." Chang Yan warned carefully, "The aunts who hire workers must also hammer repeatedly to prevent the leakage of the recipe from happening again."
Xiao Jiang Sheng nodded seriously.
The eldest brother attends lectures at the government school and is a registered scholar. With the protection of the Wang family, he is not afraid of anyone as long as he behaves upright.
The second brother went to another place. Not to mention the bad guys, even they couldn't be found in a short time.
The whole family focused on Jiang Sheng's small workshop, for fear that someone would find fault or cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened to Wen Zhiyun's small medical clinic.
