On this day, people living in Qingshui Town found that there were always strangers driving a carriage parked in an inconspicuous alley, and then someone entered the alley, and after a while put a few baskets of things on the car, and then set up The carriage moved on again.
"What are they doing here?" Someone asked suspiciously, wanting to know what was in that basket.
Someone in the know heard his words and looked at him: "You don't come to Qingshui Town often, do you?"
The man nodded and looked at him asking for advice.
"It's delicious, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard that it's said in our village that it's quite delicious. The deep-fried twisted dough sticks are delicious, and the boss is amazing!"
"The boss is amazing. He has set up a big yard to sell fried dough sticks and twisted doughnuts. The people driving the carriages are all sent by the restaurants in the nearby towns. They came here to buy."
The man shrunk his neck when he heard that, he couldn't afford to offend him, so it's better to take a detour and go far away, so as not to bump into anyone.
Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan stayed at the workshop all day long, and Zhao Xuemei and the three of them did not have any problems with their hands and feet. The restaurants where they came to buy mahua and deep-fried dough sticks from the morning had never stopped, and they bought a large batch at a time.
This is all the whole money. Zhong Ziqi passed out happily counting the money. But these two alone are still too few, Zhong Ziqi thought about adding a few more in the future.
At the end of the day, Zhong Ziqi counted the silver, and his income was several times higher than that of Quite delicious! At this rate, he will soon get his money back.
Zhong Ziqi happily cooked a table of good dishes for Zhao Zhengan. Zhao Zhengan was so beautiful, he sat on a chair and rubbed his stomach after eating full.
Zhong Ziqi said contemptuously: "No prospect."
Zhao Zheng'an chuckled, and it didn't hurt to be scolded.
"Daughter-in-law, tomorrow I'll go to the traffickers to buy someone, and I'll train them to be in charge, how about it?"
"How do you want to buy someone properly?" Zhong Ziqi asked puzzled.
"I don't want you to take a rest, don't be too tired!"
Zhong Ziqi shook his head: "Why don't we decide this matter later!" Although he really wanted to stay at home, but it would be a waste of money to buy someone, and he didn't feel at ease handing it over to others. Some people do one thing to the face and the other behind the back.
"I'll go and have a look. If there's a suitable candidate, I'll decide on one. If not, let's do it first." Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and said.
"Um."
"Daughter-in-law, it's getting late, let's go to bed." Zhao Zheng'an licked his face and approached Zhong Ziqi.
Zhong Ziqi looked at him darkly. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's heart. Although it was already dark, Zhong Ziqi estimated that this guy would go to bed before six o'clock. Think he is a second fool
"Aren't you full of food? It's not good to go to bed too early!" Zhong Ziqi said earnestly.
"It doesn't matter, since it's not good to go to bed early, let's do some exercise." Zhao Zhengan said cheekily, and after speaking, he picked up Zhong Ziqi by the waist and entered the room.
Zhong Ziqi struggled endlessly, but it was a pity that her strength was no match for him. In the howling wind, only a weak and pale sentence could be heard: "...you can't exercise after meals!"
It's just that these words have already been ignored by someone who was so excited.
…
In the next day, Zhao Zheng'an really went to the peddlers to search for it, but he just looked around, and he didn't find a match. It was either a thieves, someone with dull eyes, or a glib person, Zhao Zhengan Thinking that if this is recruited back home, he might be playing tricks behind his back.
In the end, Zhao Zheng'an had to give up and planned to come back later.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather has entered the coldest time. Zhong Ziqi's small workshop is on the right track, and Zhao Lan has already adapted to work there.
Just as Zhong Ziqi guessed, Zhao Lan's father, Mu, heard that the youngest son who was kicked out is now working in the town with Lizheng's daughter-in-law, so he shamelessly went to Zhao Lan's house again.
He wanted to ask Zhao Lan to go back under the card of family affection, and he wanted Zhao Lan to bring his sister-in-law over to work with him.
Zhao Lan naturally refused. He has no obligation to help these family members who are indifferent and cold-blooded in name. He has seen it through, how many people in this world can really be kind to a person willingly? Even his own father and mother are like this, how can he expect others to treat him well.
Zhao Lan's mother was rejected, and her face was not good.
One day when Zhong Ziqi was returning home, she happened to run into Zhao Lan's mother, whether on purpose or not. Zhong Ziqi greeted out of politeness, but she didn't expect to distract Zhao Lan's chatterbox.
Zhong Ziqi listened to him with a smile on her face. At the beginning, it was all trivial matters, but slowly transferred to Zhao Lan.
It was really the first time Zhong Ziqi saw a mother who hurt her own children so much and promoted her daughter-in-law. Zhong Ziqi mourned deeply for Zhao Lan. Having such a married man also interrupted Zhao Lan's chatter.
"Ah, I have to go back, it's too cold today, I'm almost frozen, I won't tell you, I'll go back first." After speaking, Zhong Ziqi slicked her feet with oil.
Afterwards, Zhong Ziqi told Zhao Lan about it as a joke, but Zhao Lan just said sorry to him. There was only indifference in his eyes.
Zhong Ziqi sighed with emotion that this world where boys are more important than brothers has really hurt the hearts of many brothers!
In the twelfth lunar month, Shen Yubei wrote in a letter, saying that he had found the trace of the miracle doctor, not in the rich south, nor in the powerful capital, but in an inconspicuous small town in the north. No one in the family knew that he was the legendary miracle doctor. The miracle doctor had only taken root in that small town for more than a year and already became famous.
Anyone around who has intractable diseases can be cured by him, so there are many people who don't know that he is the legendary doctor but still come here because of his fame.
At the end of the letter, Shen Yubei wrote down the genius doctor's address.
After reading the letter, Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan: "Have you heard of Pu'an Town?"
Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
"What about Yangzhou City?"
Zhao Zheng'an nodded sharply: "I've heard of Yangzhou City, it's not very far from the capital, but I haven't been there specifically. Naturally, I can't find it."
"Where is not important, what is important is when we go?" Zhong Ziqi wanted to go early, seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, he wanted to spend a carefree and worry-free New Year with Zhao Zhengan.
"This...unless I go alone, who will take care of me at home?"
"Then what to do?"
Zhong Ziqi thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Why don't you go and buy another one. Pick someone who is honest and trustworthy."
"Okay, I'll check it out tomorrow!"
The pedophile obviously still remembers Zhao Zhengan, and greeted him warmly when he saw him: "Brother, you didn't pick Heyi last time, take a look again this time, I've got a lot of new ones, you See if there is a match."
Zhao Zheng'an nodded, and followed him into a small alley, where there were all kinds of people, some standing, some sitting.
Zhao Zheng'an looked around carefully, and fell in love with a man with a big shoulder and round waist and a fierce face. This man is about thirty years old, maybe because of the scar on his face, he looks very scary. But Zhao Zheng'an was caught by the occasional naive look, and felt that this person was not good for his appearance.
Zhao Zhengan walked over to the man and asked, "What's your name?"
"I... My name is Wang Jicheng." The man was obviously a little nervous.
"Where are you from?"
"People from Zhongzhou City."
Zhao Zheng'an nodded, and heard that the disaster there was quite serious this year.
"How did you get that scar on your face?"
The man looked even more nervous: "The fight was accidentally scratched!"
"Oh? Fighting for what?"
The man felt a pain in his heart. It turned out that Wang Jicheng had indeed escaped because of the disaster in Zhongzhou City. He had no father or mother since he was a child. He married a daughter-in-law in the early years but ran away with others because he was too poor. The one who was accidentally scratched in the fight just left an ugly scar on himself after being impulsive, and the two of them had already run away.
But he was stared at because of this scar, and when he went to work, he would be driven away because he looked too fierce. In the end, it was really difficult to make ends meet, and he finally fell to this point. .
Zhao Zhengan nodded after listening to his words, and then asked him a few more questions, and Wang Jicheng answered them honestly. In the end, Zhao Zhengan nodded in satisfaction: "Let's just leave it to him!"
Wang Jicheng was shocked. He didn't expect that someone would really buy him. Even the peddler was surprised, because he would panic when he saw the scars on the man's face.
"Brother, do you... want to see someone else?"
"No, it's just him, how much?"
Seeing that he did not change his mind, the human child dealer stopped dissuading him, but reported a number. It wasn't too high, and Zhao Zheng'an didn't lower the price, handed it over to the silver tael, and took over Wang Jicheng's contract of sale from the peddler.
"Let's go." Zhao Zhengan beckoned Wang Jicheng to follow him.
Wang Jicheng was full of apprehension, but at the same time was happy, looking forward to a new life.
"Are you back?" Zhong Ziqi was doing the calculations, and seeing Zhao Zhengan coming back hurriedly said hello, and then saw Wang Jicheng behind Zhao Zhengan, he was also a little startled.
"Is this the person you bought back?"
"Well, his name is Wang Jicheng. He looks quite honest, but he looks scary." After Zhao Zheng'an finished speaking, he introduced to Wang Jicheng: "This is Fulang. You can listen to whatever he says in the future!"
Wang Jicheng nodded naively: "I understand."
Zhong Ziqi scratched her head, belatedly thought of a problem, this person can't live with them home, too ostentatious, there is no place for him to live at home.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhengan saw Zhong Ziqi's perplexed expression.
"There's no place to live!" Zhong Ziqi whispered.
Zhao Zhengan was taken aback, and thought for a while: "Why don't you let him live here? It's not a problem to live alone in this room. Aren't you just worried about what to do if a thief comes in? Let him live here." Here, by the way, watch the door." Zhong Ziqi thought about it and agreed, except that this place is a little smaller, but it has all internal organs.
Naturally, Wang Chengji didn't have any objections. This place is much better than the place where he sleeps now, so naturally he wouldn't pick and choose.
