Chapter 1327 1327: Ming Xiu Plank Road (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
"Borrow, borrow the eye, father-in-law...it has become a spirit!"
The cook was so frightened that her face turned pale. When she heard the chaotic footsteps approaching, she almost crawled out the door on her hands and knees. She was so weak that she leaned on Shen Tang's legs. Only then did her rapidly beating heart become more stable. The slave who was doing the work in the kitchen was also frightened. They had to huddle in every corner. Only two sturdy handymen in the audience dared to stand in front of the water tank. Seeing Shen Tang and others seemed to be seeing a savior.
It is said that the jellyfish that turned into sperm also looked panicked when soaked in the water.
Who knows, I almost fell into the pot when I woke up.
When Shen Tang arrived, the jellyfish spirit was still trying to calm the panicked crowd, almost tongue-tied in its anxiety: "Sister, don't panic, we, we are not some bastards, this is a misunderstanding. Everything is the same. Misunderstanding, I have something important to do, so I would like to ask the master to make it easier for me and allow me to wear clothes to cover my body. This is a great kindness that I will never forget! Do it well, do it well——"
That's why he didn't climb out of the tank.
She was completely naked, not even an inch of hair on her body.
Except for the three or four men who do manual labor in the East Kitchen, the rest are rough servants. He doesn't want to make enemies with his master, so naturally he can't just jump out and show off his butt. After all, he is also a brave warrior. As long as he could find a reasonable excuse, the owner of the family would not make things difficult for him. He didn't want to cause further trouble, so he squatted in the water tank to show his goodwill.
Shen Tang said: "Come here, get one for him."
Evacuate the frightened people, and then order people to guard Chef Dong to prevent him from escaping. When the jellyfish saw the clothes thrown over, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put them on. Being a sharp-sighted man, he also heard that the master's house Complaining to people outside.
The other party's voice rose a few degrees.
"That smooth and thick jellyfish was clearly transformed by a brave warrior. Everything can be faked these days! Find the person who supplied the ingredients today and find out if this jellyfish essence was deliberately sneaked in? No, it’s a free gift?”
Hearing that the jellyfish essence was a free gift from the merchant, the anger level in the host's voice dropped significantly. The tall, white and fat cook explained nervously with a soft and waxy voice that did not match her body shape: "Yes, it's the little one who saw the fish." If you have the goods, you can just take care of Lao Zhangtou. Master, this matter should have nothing to do with Lao Zhangtou and the others."
Lao Zhangtou supplies fish to the government, and 70% to 80% of the fish from several nearby villages is supplied here. If he loses his supply qualification due to this incident, how many people's livelihood will be affected?
Dong Chu is responsible for the supply to the government office canteen. There is no limit to the combination of meat and vegetables for four meals a day, and the ingredients are required to be the freshest. A large amount of ingredients are consumed every day, so purchasing naturally becomes a big deal, but Shen Tang does not let anyone take charge of this alone. , but directly release the news and let the vendors compete on their own, and those who stand out will be qualified to steadily supply food to the government.
The price offered by the government is lower than the market price, which lowers the overall profit. Logically speaking, few merchants want to do it, but the government consumes a lot of money, and the settlement is quick. The fish caught in the fishing villages have no worries about sales, let alone the backlog. Stinky problem.
Regardless of the unit price, the profit is small, but the loss is low.
After conversion, profits did not fall but increased.
The cook's husband's family is also in this village, so he doesn't dare to become a sinner.
She stood up and explained the whole story with an embarrassment. She saw that there was an eye-catching male in the fish sent by Lao Zhangtou - the gelatin was thick and the umbrella surface was smooth, perfect for making a pot of soup - so she asked Lao Zhang First add this one to the purchase order.
Lao Zhangtou gave it away as a gift without saying anything.
Since the Lord came to power, the life of the villagers has become much better. The villagers go out to work and fish every day without worrying about sales, and the crops in the village have a stable way out. Not only their village, but also the life of the fellow villagers in Linjun County is also visibly better.
Everyone is grateful for the Lord's good deeds, so how can he dare to accept money?
He just gave it away for free.
Speaking of which, it is rare to find jellyfish here.
It's still such a big jellyfish!
It’s as big as a water tank!
Shen Tang carefully cross-examined and found that everyone's testimonies were consistent. Is this really an accident? She was a little disappointed: "I thought that finally a martial artist discovered the magical effect of the martial arts totem and knew that it could be used to blackmail people. ...Happy for nothing.”
Xia Houyu was almost speechless.
"How can blackmailing people be a good thing worth being happy about?"
Shen Tang eloquently promoted: "This shows that the world is so peaceful that martial arts warriors no longer focus on martial arts, and begin to develop other magical uses of martial courage totems. Although it is a heresy such as blackmailing people, it is also an inevitable result of social evolution."
Xia Houyu didn't know what he thought of and burst into laughter.
"My lord, these words are a warning to the emperor. In the future, we must remind the people to beware of those animals that can speak human words." Not everyone knows that brave warriors and literary scholars, in some remote areas, they only exist with words. In the stories passed down, not to mention that living people have become totems of martial courage. If there is a cunning person who relies on this scam, it is really hard to guard against.
A colleague said: "It's too early to worry about this now."
For a martial artist who has cultivated the martial arts totem, why wouldn't he have a better future than being a liar on the street? It's not like he was involved in a group of colleagues who voluntarily worked overtime, so he really didn't have any bottom line.
Some colleagues also regretted: "Today I heard that there is fresh meat and jellyfish soup in the kitchen. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but in the end I was not happy."
Shen Tang knows how to make people willing to work overtime.
Including but not limited to food that tastes better than at home.
At first, no one noticed Shen Tang's sinister intentions, until the female relatives of each family noticed that the men at home were coming home later and later. At first, everyone thought that the men were raising children outside, and they went to the government office to inquire about them, only to find out that they were actually doing so. Really working overtime.
"You're just here to save this pot of soup?"
"How can it not be possible? It is of course the Lord's great cause." He said with pity, "What a pity for this pot of fresh meat and jellyfish soup."
Jellyfish himself: "..."
Is it because his martial arts totem is so beautiful?
Because Chef Dong was surrounded by people, there was little chance of him breaking out and escaping, so Jellyfish decided to give up this option.
He opened the door, gave a big salute to the head of the family, and thanked him for saving his life - ignoring the fact that he almost fell into the pot, it could indeed be called a "life-saving grace". The young master said it, and everyone on the shore liked it Being put in a high hat and saying good things.
Don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.
Shen Tang asked: "Where are you from?"
The jellyfish spirit lied half-truths and half-falsely: "I was born in a remote island with the master of my family. The island has been fishing for a living for generations. The island is barren. This time, I also wanted to find a business owner who can make stable orders for my fellow villagers to barter. Exchange supplies for the villagers."
"Island? Do you know where this place is?"
From the coast to here, all the fish caught have long since rotted.
Jellyfish Spirit took his time and said: "My benefactor doesn't know something. We also have warriors here who know the method of freezing. A shipload of seafood can be frozen and kept fresh. Whatever is caught, it will be frozen and delivered. There is little seafood in the inland, so the owner has little I feel there are many business opportunities here.”
"Hongshang? Then why were you so seriously injured?"
If he hadn't been seriously injured, where would he have been accidentally salvaged?
Or in the form of a brave totem?
This proves that the other party has been hunted dangerously and narrowly escaped death before just saving one life. This is something that Hong Shang cannot explain.
Jellyfish Jing said: "It caused a vendetta in the world."
The content of the vendetta was not disclosed proactively.
Shen Tang nodded: "It turns out to be a personal grudge."
Only she knew whether she believed Jellyfish's words. Jellyfish didn't expect Shen Tang to believe it. As long as the other party was willing to let her go, he would find a chance to escape. At this time, Shen Tang changed the subject and asked again. The types of seafood he sells, supply prices, supply quantities... If the price is right, she can order a batch here, and she will never default on payment.
Seawater aquaculture has fewer parasites than freshwater aquaculture.
I can still taste it if I stay in the southwest. If I stay in this place, I can only synchronize my memory to scratch the itch.
"...The younger one will inform the young master's family about this."
As they talked, the jellyfish felt that this was a good business. The tribesmen on the island had no land to make a living, and their food expenses were a huge sum. They couldn't just rely on the general's salary and rewards, right? They It is true that you can go fishing at sea and sell the fish frozen to these people inland. It is still fresh seafood and the price cannot be lower! The most important thing is that this is an exclusive business!
The jellyfish spirit instantly drew a beautiful blueprint.
Shen Tang asked Jellyfish to leave a contact address and let him leave.
The address was made up by a jellyfish spirit.
Shen Tang threw it aside without even looking at it: "Send someone to follow."
Xia Houyu cupped his hands and accepted the order: "Yes."
Jellyfish Spirit has some cultivation, but he was seriously injured and has not recovered. He has not eaten for several days, and experienced the fright of almost falling into the pot of soup. Both physical and mental strength have reached the limit. He did not realize that there was someone following him at all. Little tail.
No tracking was found, but he was cautious enough.
I used the money provided by Shen Tang to find a house to live in temporarily.
I secretly inquired about this place, I am very happy!
It’s only half a day’s walk from his destination!
He asked the farmer for the destination address again, and after asking for it, he rested for half a day to recover from his injuries. When he went out, he did not forget to use various small tricks to try to get rid of the secret surveillance. But - he followed the address given by the farmer, and the more he walked, the more he felt... Something looks familiar.
The disguised Jellyfish stood in front of the government office.
He came out of the corner gate yesterday.
The corner door was only a hundred steps away from him.
The person secretly following Jellyfish: "???"
Watching the jellyfish sneaking closer to the government office, Shen Tang met with him, both of them were a little embarrassed. The latter hesitated and clasped his fists: "I have met the master in General Luo's tent."
Shen Tang: "Luo Shen killed the people in his tent?"
Jellyfish nodded: "Exactly."
Shen Tang: "..."
Xia Houyu and others happened to be present, and they also smelled the embarrassing atmosphere in the air. After all, yesterday's scene was still vivid in his mind. The jellyfish tried hard to cover up, but turned around and found that the master was close at hand. He was trying to be smart...
"Who is Luo Shenlu?"
"His name is not included in the biographies of famous ministers and celebrities."
The public has never heard of this person.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Shen Lu joined at the end of the southwest battlefield. He was born in an isolated overseas island and was also the queen of generals. His temperament is good among generals." Shen Tang responded to everyone first, and then continued. He turned around and was concerned about what happened to Jellyfish Jing, "Didn't Shen Lu escort Ling De as envoy to Qu State? What happened to you, and why were you so seriously injured? Could it be that Zhai Xiaofang turned against him at this time, and the situation in Qu State changed?"
Jellyfish confirmed his identity, then opened his abdomen with his fingers, dug out a secret letter and presented it: "The general sent the letter secretly under orders, and was intercepted on the way. Depending on the skill, the person who intercepted will be killed." It’s definitely not a rough patch in the rivers and lakes.”
The moves of an ordinary ranger may be flashy, elegant, elegant, and charming, but a warrior with a military background pays attention to the ultimate cost-effectiveness and kills with one blow. Although the person who is chasing him is pretending to be a ranger, the number of moves cannot deceive others.
That is to say——
The pursuit is inseparable from the court of King Qu.
Shen Tang read the secret message with a calm expression.
The luck in her palm blew up the secret letter into powder: "You stay here to recuperate, and I will find a way to reply to Shen Lu. Zhai Xiaofang will not let him go easily, but he will not harm Lingde and the others either."
The jellyfish spirit put the hanging heart back to its original place.
Shen Tang did not hide it and informed Xia Houyu and others about the matter.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhai Le still had this trump card.
"Twenty-year-old Chehou..."
For most people, it only exists in legends.
How else to say that the mainland is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?
"...Although there is an accident, it is also expected. Qu State annexed the southwest countries, and there is nothing he can do..." What is really scary is that the 20th-level Chehou has never shown up, and Zhai Xiaofang has also hidden his strength , Qu Guo can still come this far.
Before, Xia Houyu might have been worried about who would win.
After sorting out my cards, my anxiety disappeared.
Kang Guo also has a lot of trump cards.
It's just that there are less than twenty Chehou Hou to help out.
Keep hitting it, maybe it will happen in the future.
Gu De was worried about another thing: "Zhai Xiaofang dares to send people to intercept the message now, and he will also arrest people later. If the Marquis Che takes action, it will not be easy for Lin Nujun and others to escape safely."
The people of Kang state are too far away, and the water far away cannot save the fire nearby.
Xiahou Yu said: "Perhaps we can bring in reinforcements."
"Move reinforcements? Who else can we move with now?" Shen Tang had already acted as a backup, but he became a little more interested when he heard Xia Houyu's words. Xiahou Yu and Gu De had a vast network of contacts, and they The people you win over extend your network of connections.
Shen Tang still doesn't know how many friends they have.
Xia Houyu said: "It depends on the performance in the next battle."
Shen Tang: "The next battle?"
Suginaga County is her next target.
Capturing this area will open up the barriers between various places and connect all Shen Tang's territories in the central area. Without Shanyong County, it will be quite troublesome for Shen Tang's territory to support each other. Fortunately, she has special means of supplying food and grass, otherwise The cost of transporting grain will be three to four times higher than the normal route. This cost is simply not something that a warlord with an unstable footing can afford...
According to Xia Houyu's wishes, the reinforcements are in Shanyong County?
Xiahou Yu said: "Captain of Shanyong County."
"But isn't that person's strength only level 11?"
This strength cannot be used as a savior.

Speaking of which, doing business in frozen seafood is indeed a good idea.
