Zhang Zhong wandered around in the afternoon. He didn't eat lunch in the village. He also didn't eat it. He only ate some beef jerky, fried noodles and other things, which he carried in his bag.
Walking around the village, the villagers also caught three poisonous snakes, and he bought them. They said they were going back to eat, but in fact they used them as medicinal wine.
Xiaoxiangshan Village is not far from here, and it's only half an hour after walking. Zhang Zhong decides to go there tomorrow. In the evening, he really eats in the village and wants to live in the village.
The villagers couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. Anyway, before eating, they had already selected 30 people and stayed outside at night in turn.
Zhang Zhong didn't designate which family to eat in, and the people in the village had trouble making arrangements, so they could only make the best things in the family into meals.
During the meal, Zhang Zhong chose a random restaurant, and when he went in, there were four dishes, one fried salted rabbit meat, one fried salted venison, one steamed fish, and one egg cake. It is something that is smashed into pieces and then fried in oil, which is considered a dish by ordinary people.
In addition to the four dishes, there is also a soup. It is ritual, whether you drink it or not. It is made with small fish, with a layer of oil on top, and some green onions floating in it.
The rice is two rice, rice and millet are cooked together.
Zhang Zhong looked at the dishes and nodded slightly. He already understood that there is really nothing to eat in the village. The two bacon-fried dishes are for emergency use, and the omelet is definitely not poultry, but The egg of a pheasant and a duck is different in color from others.
Zhang Zhong took a bit of it with his chopsticks, and after tasting it, he said, "I also took out the salty ones and fried them? Is the rice at home gone?"
"Does the adults think the food is not good?" The host of this family asked worriedly. The children and women had already arrived in the house next to them, and they were not qualified to come over to eat.
"Okay, how could it be bad? How could the dishes made by giving it all be bad? I won't pay for this meal today, and I will ask you to eat it tomorrow."
Zhang Zhong originally planned to give money. After all, it is not easy for the people. If they eat a meal, they may have to spend half a month of their savings, but when it is really eaten, they decide not to give money. A little money can’t solve it. Things, let people go back tomorrow and bring some food and salt to them.
Even though there are two dishes that have been marinated, the egg tastes very weak. It seems that there is no salt in the village. Their salt is basically used to marinate things.
The man in this family didn’t know how to answer the conversation, so he could only laugh with him. Zhang Zhong was also not polite. He let go of his stomach and began to eat. Only two guards were guarding. The others went to other villagers’ homes to eat with the yaks. .
Everyone had a good meal, but the villagers lost a lot of emergency stuff at once.
That night, Zhang Zhong stayed at Cunzheng’s house. There was no ice basin and the mountains were sultry. Fortunately, Zhang Zhong brought mosquito repellent medicine. When he slept at night, he heard the buzzing of mosquitoes and was not bitten.
When I got up early the next morning, I ordered people to go back and pull some food and salt, and then transport them to the village and feed them to the people in the village. At this moment, you can’t worry about the pay and rewards. Let the villagers have food first. As for the future What about it? Go back and ask your son, not only can a son make a lot of money, he can also help some people make a little money.
Zhang Zhong watched a few people leave, and was about to continue to the next place, Xiaoxiangshan Village. For this reason, he also found two guides from Daxiangshan Village.
…
Mi Fan, Guo Ren and others also ushered in the sunrise of a new day. After sending someone to make arrangements yesterday, they were going to go back today. After breakfast, before leaving, they did not forget to ask the guy to bring Zhang's family over to talk about cooperation yesterday. People who came.
"Everyone, are you ready to sign the agreement?" The Zhang family asked as soon as they came over.
"No, there are still some deficiencies in this detail. Then, after a few days, you will think about the deficiencies and find us again."
A businessman didn't need Mi Fan to come forward this time, and said directly.
The Zhang family laughed and asked, "I don't know which place is not good? Let's think about it."
"This...Isn't it good? We can't point it out. After all, it's the idea of your Zhang family. We are the party who provides the boat. We can't let us think of a way? You take a good look and show it to you."
After the businessman finished saying what he felt shameless, he handed back the details of the paper that he sent yesterday, including the unsigned paperwork.
The Zhang family didn't show any dissatisfaction, they still smiled. "Then we will think about it and say goodbye."
Seeing the Zhang family so happy, Mi Fan covered his chest again, his special feeling reappeared, making him unable to breathe, and some small flashing dots appeared in front of his eyes.
"Brother Weitong, what's the matter with you?" Guo Ren next to him found that Mi Fan was wrong this time and asked with concern.
Mi Fan shook his head: "It's okay. I just swallowed a bit. I'm going to talk about something. I know that some of us have something to do with other shipping lines, but don't talk about this ocean shipping, especially the details. Otherwise, it will harm others and ourselves. When this incident is over, we really have to go by sea, and we have to re-plan."
Everyone agreed, Mi Fan had no time to tell which one said the truth and which one said the false. He felt that the anxiety in his heart should come from this plan.
But after saying that he did not follow this plan, the feeling of discomfort did not disappear.
"Brother Weitong, according to the time we arranged, there will be a boat there to block it in three days, right?" Guo Ren who left the first house in Linshui, standing on the boat can be said to be full of spirits at this time, it seems that the world is everywhere. In his grasp, he asked Mi Fan who was still uncomfortable.
Mi Fan tried to beat the spirit, "Well, it will be fine in three days. One day is for people to send news, and the ship will be able to reach Dingping in two days. Brother Qianyuan, do you think we are doing this too much? If we want to deal directly with the Zhang family , Then there is no need to lie to their shipping plan first. If Zhang Zhong becomes a bigger official one day, can we still have it?"
Mi Fan has been trying to find reasons for his discomfort. Since it was not that plan, it should be something else. Thinking about the situation of the Zhang family, only Zhang Zhong was the most threatening to them.
Guo Ren smiled disdainfully, "Brother Weitong, you just think too much. How long will a county magistrate want to be a high official? By then, we will be able to make money on the sea, even if he does. Third-rank officer, then we can also find someone from the slaughter, and if we have money, there is nothing we can't do."
"Oh, that's right. With shipping, you can get in touch with more powerful people at that time. It's really not possible. You can also contact a few princes."
Mi Fan is trying his best to find a reason for himself, a reason to make him feel at ease, but when this is said, he still feels uncomfortable, and he hasn't relieved at all.
…
In Yuzhou Mansion, a fleet of six ships by the river, hitting Malingshui, left from the dock. This is the big ship just bought from elsewhere last night. Six ships, one of them cost nearly 20,000. two.
Someone on the ship carried something heavy, but the people on the pier didn't know what it was, and the shipmen and the people who carried them were also fresh faces.
Six boats traveled against the current, thinking all the way, as long as Dingping County is enough, and along the largest river, you can reach Malingshui. The people on the boat seemed a little nervous and excited, and didn't speak. .
The speed of the boat is not fast. At this speed, it takes a day and a half to reach Dingping County.
…
Two days later, Zhang Zhong came out of the mountain and bought a lot of fur and some marinated meat in the two villages. He also sent a lot of grain, salt, cloth and silk to the two villages. He also secretly gave away twelve of their military bows, which other people can't get, he can.
When the people in the two villages saw the grain, they completely believed that the new magistrate was a good magistrate. The grain was enough for them to eat hard for half a month. It was all good white noodles and rice. The salt was divided into coarse salt and fine. Salt, the coarser is naturally used to pickle things, and the finer is usually eaten at home.
They got these things without paying anything. They said repeatedly and gave the magistrate the things in their homes. The magistrate agreed, but after they left, they found out that they were in the house where the magistrate lived. , Put some silver, just the value of what they took out.
Some people cried on the spot. What is a parent official? The magistrate Zhang is always smiling when talking to people, never picky when eating and drinking, and they also send all kinds of things to the village.
Hongcun knew that he couldn't catch up with the county magistrate's team. This time, a few people came by to deliver the goods. From the speech and the actions when they went out, they could find that they were all the kind of powerful hunters. There are such people who lead the way. They can go very fast, they are still the inner courtyard of the Zhang family.
"The county magistrate is amazing, you remember, you will go to the county town more in the future, and the fur for next year must be prepared early. It is not difficult for the adults to do it for us, and we cannot make it difficult for the adults. The money for selling bears is here. Who is going to hunt, let's divide it, remember the adults."
Hongcun was speaking loudly to the people gathered in the village.
The villagers nodded sharply, and they understood the truth. They took the magistrate's things for nothing this time, and they must find a way to repay them in the future.
At the same moment, there are three large ships on the Jingshui River heading towards Dingping County, and they will be able to get there in another hour.
In the upper reaches of them, that is, in the river of Malingshui, six of the same big boats turned directly in the river, turned around, and headed towards Dingping County, which was just passing by. It is estimated that they will arrive in an hour and a half while downstream.
A small boat carrying people passed by Dingping, and the boat walked very slowly. It was at this speed when it came out of Xiaoluoshui Wharf. The people on the boat were sitting on the bow drinking alcohol at this time, and laughed from time to time.
In the lake of Xiaoluoshui, Zhang Xiaobao shook his fixed scull boat and said to Wang Juan who was sitting there eating snacks: "I just arranged one thing, and my father found me a new job. Fate, arranging jobs for people in the mountains, what is this called?"
"I know you can do it, and it's not too far away, a place where you can get in from outside in just over an hour." Wang Juan stuffed Zhang Xiaobao's mouth with a big mountain, and said lightly, Zhang Xiaobao wrinkled his entire face sourly. Together.
