The sun shines on the rolling Yellow River, and the river glows with golden light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA few waterfowl hovered over the river, and suddenly they plunged headlong into the murky water, and after a while, they came out of the water again, flapping their wings and shaking off the droplets on their bodies.

Even the fishing birds work harder here than in other places, and the muddy and sandy river water cannot see the underwater situation clearly, and they often go into the water in vain.

On the shore is a reed swing that cannot be seen at a glance, like two green jade belts, holding the yellowed river channel in the palm of his hand, stretching to the horizon. On the river embankment, the tall willows flutter in the wind, looking a little lonely.

Horses graze on the meadows by the river, at ease and leisurely.

Xu Ping sat on a chair under the big willow tree, looking at the rushing and tumbling Yellow River in front of him, a little bored.

In the distance, several soldiers of the Bridge and Road Carriage Army shouted loudly in the reeds, chasing their prey. The banks of the Yellow River are sparsely populated, there are many birds and beasts, and a few people are sent every day, and Xu Ping **** wild meat continues.

Suddenly, Lu Fang ran over panting with two of his subordinates, and saluted in front of Xu Ping: "Junhou, let's leave for a while, go buy some food, and rush back in the afternoon." ”

Xu Ping saw that his expression was a little unnatural, straightened up and said, "It's good to send two sergeants to the county town to buy them, if there are any strange things for you to bring someone to buy!" ”

"Alas, these are the things that are eaten every day, and the game is little tasty, and there are not a few taels of meat, and the birds are fading out of the mouths of the brothers! It is said that Mengzhou pork is the first in the world, how can we not taste it when we get here? I hate Zheng Tu, who sells pigs, obviously a few pig sellers from Mengzhou came over in a few days, but they didn't sell them to us! Could it be that our money is fake? Just now we saw him drive a few pigs from the direction of Mengzhou, so let's buy one and eat it today! ”

Xu Ping thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's what I said, then you can go and go back quickly." But remember, buy things fairly and don't buy hard, ruin my reputation! ”

Lu Fang agreed with his hand, took his subordinates and hurried away.

The land between the two capitals is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of saline-alkali land, so it is naturally not as cost-effective as sheep herding. Although there are a lot of pigs eaten every day in the capital, it is still far from the ratio of mutton. And when the cooking method is mainly boiled, the taste of pork is indeed not as good as mutton, and it will be turned over when it is popularized in high heat.

At this time, there are many famous places for sheep production, such as Shaanxi Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, and there are sheep produced in several states that are famous all over the world. And when it comes to pork, there is no place in the world that can compare with Mengzhou.

The Mengzhou pig in the Central Plains and the Huining white pig in the Khitan are all famous delicacies in this era.

Xu Ping also misses the braised pork and other delicacies in his previous life, but the taste of the pork bought in the capital is a little worse, and he doesn't know where the difference is, in short, it is too firewood, and there is no warmth of pork in his previous life.

I don't know if the pork here in Mengzhou is as magical as the legend, if the taste is really good, you can also introduce and breed in Zhongmu Grange, maybe it is a way to make money.

He wasn't worried about what trouble Lu Fang would do, Lu Fang was careless and careful, and he was very measured, what could happen if he took the money to buy meat? Others don't want to sell scare scare, it's nothing.

Not far from the ferry, Zheng Er drove five big fat pigs, humming a little song in his mouth, shaking the willow branches in his hands, and slowly moving forward in the sun comfortably.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him: "The pig dealer in front of him stays, sell two to the Sprinkler family for a tooth sacrifice!" ”

Zheng Er was startled, turned around, and saw Lu Fang with two of his subordinates striding over. Dragging the willow branch in his hand behind him, Zheng Er said helplessly: "Dianzhi, I told you a few times, these pigs are from Mengzhou, and they are all paid by others, and if there is a buyer, they can't be sold to you." ”

"What nonsense! It's a pig from Mengzhou, and the Sprinkle family wants to buy you! Is it true that other people's money is money, and mine is not money? Sell to me how you sell to others, and go back and refund their subscriptions! ”

Seeing Lu Fang coming over with a menacing attitude, Zheng Er was also a little scared, took two steps back and said: "My agent's family, the most important thing in business is credit, others have paid a fixed amount, of course, there must be pigs for them." If you want to buy it, you have to pay a fixed amount before you buy it with others. A pound of pigs from Mengzhou is always a few pennies more than the local pigs, and if there is no fixed money, I may lose my capital. My whole family depends on this, how dare I break the rules for nothing? ”

Lu Fang remembered what Xu Ping said before leaving, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Zheng Er: "It's not that I don't pay you for the subscription, but after paying the money, you won't have meat to eat for half a month, which one can wait so long?!" ”

"The rules are like this, the temple is forgiving, it's not good to make an exception. Mengzhou is more than 100 miles away from here, and once and again, I have to drive the pigs on the return trip, and I can't do business in a short time. ”

A soldier behind Lu Fang whispered: "What are you talking a lot of nonsense with this popper, we just catch one and go back and leave him money!" We have never broken the rules when we buy and pay. ”

I didn't want Zheng Er's ears to be sharp, so I heard this, and immediately took two steps back, glared and said: "Dianzhi, this pig was ordered by a big local family, I can't afford to be offended!" You'd better pay the subscription money first and wait a few more days! ”

"Huh, the local bigwig?" Lu Fang suddenly remembered, "How many big families can there be in a poor and remote area like Heyin County?" Not out of the two families of Jiang Dayou and Tong Qilang. So that's all you have to say, just sell me the pigs, and I'll send someone to tell them." Our county marquis is here, and if we want to eat some local specialty meat, they still have to give it to them?! ”

Zheng Er shook his head again and again: "The people who bought the pigs have repeatedly confessed, don't divulge their names." Dianzhi, my small family, life is not easy, just rely on this business to support my family, don't break my job! ”

Hearing this, Lu Fang and the people behind him laughed together: "You are a butcher, you just slaughter two pigs a day to sell meat, and you are afraid that others will know about the people who buy pigs every day!" Speaking of which, I'm not afraid to laugh at my belly! I know that you sell pork, but I don't know what kind of illegal business you think you are doing! ”

Zheng Er sighed, shook his head and didn't speak.

Lu Fang said to the soldiers behind him: "We told the county marquis that we came out to buy meat, no matter what, we can't be fooled by the words of this guy in front of us, otherwise how will we explain when we go back?" ”

The two soldiers nodded yes in succession.

Lu Fang raised his head and said to Zheng Er: "Okay, it's not difficult for you to sprinkle the family, if you have to be free today, I will drive the pigs back with you, see who sells them, and buy two to come back!" (To be continued.) )
