Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 55

Leaning on his daughter-in-law's back, wrapping his hands around her waist, smelling the faint pine and cypress fragrance from her body through his nose, Xiang Yuan felt a little relieved from the accumulated fatigue from the days of running around.

"It's better to be at home, of course it's best to be around my wife."

Zhao Shen no longer cared about Xiang Yuan's wife coming and going, seeing that he was lazy and didn't want to move, so he picked up a piece of shortbread, put his head sideways to Xiang Yuan's mouth, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen you." Seeing you as a magistrate who has worked so hard, it’s no wonder that the people of Quzhou treat you like a lord of Qingtian, and keep their mouths open and shut.

Xiang Yuan smiled: "It is better to do more practical things within the scope of ability, otherwise this official will not be at ease. And if I dawdle, I am afraid that the teacher will expel me from the school! What is this?"

"I see that Mr. Lin loves your talent very much. Even if you play around a bit, you are reluctant to drive you out. This is a mille-feuille cake made by Qi Zhang. It's sweet. Is it delicious?"

Congzi loves sweets. Before he was pregnant, he preferred salty food, but since he became pregnant, his taste is on par with Congzi's, and he also loves sweets.

"Well, it's not bad. Qi's cooking skills are fine."

Speaking of this, Xiang Yuan couldn't help asking about the silkie in detail.

Although the black-bone chicken in Quzhou is difficult to raise, it grows very fast, and the silky chicken is the most delicious when it is half-grown.Now under the guidance of Zhou Qinglin, there are still a few village households in Quzhou who are trying to raise chickens. In total, the number of silkies has reached about [-], which is enough to support a trade.

Xiang Yuan planned to ask Yang Dutou to follow Zhou Qinglin and Qin Mian to form a caravan to He Congshan, so his wife could stay at home.Unfortunately, after the day of departure, Xiang Yuan didn't find out until he returned to the inner house at night that his daughter-in-law left a letter and set off with the caravan!By the time he saw it, he probably had traveled more than dozens of miles.

If it weren't for the fact that Quzhou was in a critical period of reconstruction, and he couldn't do without him everywhere, he would have wished to chase him back immediately.Don't know how to cherish yourself at all, don't you know that your current physical condition is special?Xiang Yuan was so angry that he ground his teeth, thinking bitterly that he had to educate his disobedient daughter-in-law when she came back.

Zhao Shen, who was chanted, was sitting in the carriage, staring at the two half-old children sitting in front of him with wide eyes, one salivating and smiling obsequiously, the other wringing his fingers so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe.

Zhao Shen had a headache, how come Xiang Yu and Xiang Anjiu also followed, he didn't notice!

"Did you talk to Zhengtang when you came out?"

"It's been said. It's been said by the Zhengtang that people will become wiser after reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles."

"So you didn't say anything?"

Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at the speechless Xiang Yu, rubbed the center of his brows, and wanted to say a few words, but seeing Xiang Anjiu who was staring at them nervously, he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth.

"Okay, just say I brought you out."

Xiang Yu was so happy that he pulled Xiang Anjiu into a weird bow, and thanked him with a smile.As long as Zhengjun can say something, Zhengtang will never embarrass them.

"However, since you have decided to follow, then take this trip as a practice." Zhao Shen still learned the word practice from Xiang Yuan, and he thought it was really appropriate. "Observe carefully, record carefully, go back and write a travel note, and hand in a policy theory."

"no problem!"

Xiang Yu patted his chest to assure.Seeing that Xiang Anjiu was a little bit embarrassed, he took the initiative to discuss Xiang Anjiu's strategy with Zhao Shen, and just wrote a travel note.

Yang Du looked outside and heard the voices coming from inside, his face was wrinkled, and he was a little distressed.

He didn't realize that the lord was following in the carriage!God, the lord has a body, if he bumps into him, the court will not scratch him.

No, Yang Ye clenched his fists with a firm expression on his face.When he comes out this time, he must follow Zhengjun closely, and guard against death!

The caravan controlled by Xishanwei was extremely large. When Zhao Shen and the others arrived, they saw the convoy winding tens of meters, and each truck was fully loaded with goods.In addition to their own duties, there are two other strong soldiers with knives beside each car.At the front and rear of the convoy, there were also a pair of 12 saber soldiers guarding and suppressing them.

In contrast, the caravan that Zhao Shen and the others joined later was so crude that it couldn't even be mentioned.

Facing the scrutiny and scrutiny of those stewards, Zhao Shen took the lead and led the people to meet He Congshan.It's just that this time He Congshan didn't come because he had something to do, but he ordered his confidants to receive Zhao Shen.That confidant was very polite and respectful to Zhao Shen, and personally led people to place them in the middle of the convoy, and also sent two saber soldiers to guard them, and repeatedly emphasized that General He told him to take good care of Zhao Shen and his party, so what's the matter? , please be sure to find him.Zhao Shen nodded in response, and watched the confidant leave, and found that the eyes around them became more cautious, no longer hostile, but still vaguely repulsive.

Zhao Shen didn't care either.

This is actually quite normal. They inserted it later, and it is bound to damage the interests of some people. It is normal to be disliked.

After the reorganization was completed, the convoy of dozens of meters began to drive out of the customs in an orderly manner.Zhao Shen found out along the way, regardless of the captain of the car, there were so many people, it was supposed to be noisy and noisy all the way, but this caravan was not noisy at all, everyone behaved well, advancing and retreating at a pace, but there was some small friction, Did not dare to make a fuss.

Zhao Shen was amazed, and secretly thought that He Congshan was really good at running the army, using the method of running the army to manage the caravan, the effect is really not so good.

After traveling all the way for about ten days, I finally arrived outside the pass.It was the first time for Zhao Shen and the others to see the scene outside the pass, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the tall grass and wide grassland, which stretches as far as the eye can see.

Sighing as he walked, he walked together for two more days, and finally arrived at the trading place agreed between Daliang and Meng Ta.

Zhao Shen observed carefully, and saw that others were looking for a place to set up camp, bury pots and cook food, so he ordered people to start unloading and pitching tents.

After eating, they began to rest. For one night, Zhao Shen didn't dare to sleep well. On the second day, the two sides started formal business.

Zhou Qinglin and Qin Mian were responsible for the sales of black-bone chickens. They were afraid that the Mongolians would not know how to eat them. After discussing, they came up with a way. They picked a place with the upper hand, lit a small fire, and started roasting chicken in public.

Zhou Qinglin's barbecue method is top-notch, the silky chicken is brushed with honey, and roasted so that it smells oily, and the fragrance disperses along the wind for several miles, making those meat-loving Montagus drool.After a while, the silkie booth was surrounded by tall men of different races who spoke Gualaguala Mongolian.

He Congshan's caravan was not only guarded by soldiers, but also had five or six translators who were proficient in Mongolian and Tartar.Seeing this, someone hastily stepped forward and began to communicate for both parties.

In the spirit of cannibalism, Qin Mian smiled softly, and invited these men of different races with blind eyes to taste the roasted silky chicken for free first. black-bone chicken, smoked black-bone chicken, marinated black-bone chicken, and Zhao Shen also asked Xiang Yuan for a few recipes for making chicken, and provided them for free to the Mongolians who bought chickens. Can also explain on the spot.

These days, exquisite and unique cooking methods are all family heirlooms, and they are not easily shown to others, let alone taught for free.The Mongols had a rough diet, and only after doing business with the Jing'an Dynasty did they know that the world's diet could be so exquisite. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to do it, so they could only look at the ocean and sigh. The exquisite porcelain bowls and dishes that went there are all in short supply by the Monta people.Even if the food is not refined, it can be served in beautiful and exquisite dishes, and it is fun to look at.

But this time, what did they hear?Someone actually taught how to make delicious chicken for free!

The Mengtar people went crazy, Zhao Shen's small stall was surrounded by water, and there were people coming from farther away, everyone was afraid that if they were late, such a cheap good thing would not happen.

The indirect benefits brought about by Fang Zi's popularity are simply unimaginable.Not only Zhao Shen and the others brought all kinds of mountain products, but also all kinds of mountain mushrooms, wild bamboo shoots, and wild fruits were sold out.Together with the caravans at He Congshan, those selling spices, all kinds of dry goods, potatoes and sweet potatoes, all kinds of goods that can be related to chicken, sold so fast, and the stewards who led the teams were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth. In a blink of an eye, I sighed that the goods were still missing.Looking at Zhao Shen and the others who thrust in abruptly, they were not so repulsive.

In just two days, Zhao Shen and the others sold out all their goods.After getting the money, he began to select the goods from Mengta to be transported back.

The beef, mutton and all kinds of leather in Mengta have always been loved by the people in the pass.Especially beef and leather, Daliang forbids the common people to kill farm cattle in private, and if they find out, they will be severely punished, so the beef in the pass has always been in short supply.Mengta's leather is favored by Daliang people because of its high quality and low price.

Zhao Shen led people to make big purchases. Both he and Qin Mian had a good eye for business, and their bargaining skills were top-notch. In addition, Qin Mian was handsome and elegant, and was especially loved by these rough men in the grassland. No mercy.Zhao Shen was secretly happy on the one hand, but a little sad on the other.

Damn it, no one can tell that he is a little brother!Still a little brother with a body! , How handsome is he?Then I thought about what Congzi said, "It's just his appearance that is rare", and he was cured immediately.This is the first time the two have been separated for such a long time, let alone, I really miss it.

Zhao Shen secretly thought about all the nice and witty things that Congzi had said, but he was relentless when he started shopping.Thinking that Congzi likes to eat beef and mutton, he picked a family that tasted good, and bought a bag for each of them as a surprise for Congzi.

Xiang Yu and Xiang Anjiu followed closely behind Zhao Shen and the others, while distractedly looking around.Look at the Mongolian and Tatar people who look and dress very differently from them, look at all kinds of exotic goods bought by each other, and when they meet delicious ones, they will be fed by Zhao Shen in various ways.

Xiang Anjiu opened his eyes wide, feeling dazzled and unable to see the rare things in front of him.Before that, he had never been out of the three-acre land in Lizhong.But after that, he came to the territory of the foreign race, started a business, and bought beef!Just thinking about it makes me feel emotional.

He didn't have a lot of money on him, but when he thought of his mother, younger brother and grandmother who hadn't come out in Lizhong, he couldn't help but pay for beef and planned to ask someone to take it back. Although it wasn't much, it was his heart after all.

When Zhao Shen found out, he rubbed her head and praised her for being filial and grateful, and at the same time added money to it, and bought some beef and mutton, as well as a few pieces of smooth leather, which he planned to give as a year-end gift. Someone took it back to Fengniang and Li Shi.

The time spent traveling back and forth, plus the time spent bartering after arriving at the location, were counted together, and a total of 25 days of trade finally came to an end.Zhao Shen led people to bid farewell to He Congshan's caravan at the boundary of Tongping Prefecture, and hurried all the way back to Quzhou.Seeing Xiang Yuan waiting on the only way to Quzhou, Zhao Shen couldn't help thinking about it anymore.

Xiang Yuan wanted to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson by ignoring him for a few days, but no matter how much he planned, it all disappeared when Zhao Shen couldn't help rushing towards him regardless of the eyes of everyone.
