Chapter 588: Suddenly a little confused
At the same time, Yaozhou City Huguangju.
When Chai Yan woke up, he found that it was almost noon. He lazily put on his clothes and came out of the room. He called "Madam" and walked to the next room.
Chai Yan and Yu Yuan live under the same roof, but they still sleep in separate rooms because Chai Yan promised Yu Yuan that he would keep the most precious first time in the wedding night.
"Madam, are you...are you up? Ahhhh..."
Chai Yan screamed and yawned.
No one answered in the room, but the sound of a kite came from the courtyard.
Chai Yan turned around and walked into the yard. He saw that Yuan Yuan was not practicing any martial arts, but was carefully observing the broken cold iron sword in the sunlight.
"Madam, you went to bed so late last night, how could you still get up so early?" Chai Yan twisted his hips and stretched his limbs.
Yuan Yuan didn't even raise his head and replied calmly: "I'm used to it."
Chai Yan walked up to Yuan, stretched his neck, took a look, and asked: "The sword is broken, what's there to see?"
Yuan Yuan said calmly: "I just finished practicing and have nothing to do, so I brought it to have a look..."
"Did you see anything?" Chai Yan asked following the words.
Yuan Yuan's face was slightly stern, and he said: "Violence! I feel a very heavy anger..."
"That's right!" Chai Yan curled his lips and said: "That guy killed more than fifty people with this sword, and the blood of more than fifty people, how can he not be violent? According to me, there is also the resentment of the deceased.
!”
Yuan nodded and placed the broken sword at his feet.
"Madam, what do you want to eat for lunch? I will go to the street to buy it for you later!" Chai Yan asked.
Yuan suddenly remembered something and replied with a smile: "Braised beef!"
As soon as he mentioned braised beef, a bright smile appeared on Chai Yan's face, which reminded him of the time when they first met in Anping County.
"No problem!" Chai Yan agreed: "I want to eat braised beef too! Just wait, I will go to the street to buy ingredients, just wait..."
After that, Chai Yan walked out with a smile and went straight to the market in the West Street area.
Chai Yan went out not only to buy lunch, he also wanted to stop by a few blacksmith shops on West Street to see whose blacksmith could make a special barbecue rack. In that case, Chai Yan could
I was having skewers and drinking wine with my wife at home.
But the first priority is to buy beef. It’s not too late to ask about the barbecue rack after buying the ingredients for braised beef.
Chai Yan walked around the market near West Street and realized that beef was really hard to buy. Not only was it expensive, but it was also out of stock. Everyone's answer was the same, and they had to wait for the government to allocate it!
After careful questioning, Chai Yan found out that Yaozhou's cattle had to be slaughtered by government officials before being distributed to butchers and restaurants, and they could not be bought just casually.
Moreover, the cows that can be killed are old cows or cows that are injured and can no longer plow the fields, so you have to try your luck!
Although beef is difficult to buy, it does not mean that it is impossible to buy it. After asking many stores, Chai Yan finally bought a large piece of fresh beef from a butcher at a price three times higher than the market price.
Seeing Chai Yan's generous payment, the butcher wanted to keep him in business, so he quietly told Chai Yan that as long as he told Chai Yan in advance, he could keep the beef, but only if he paid a deposit first.
Chai Yan doesn't care about the expensive few taels of silver. What he cares about is that Yuan Yuan has to practice for a long time every day, which consumes a lot of energy. If he doesn't eat meat, he will definitely not be able to keep up with the nutrition, and beef is naturally much better than pork.
So, without hesitation, Chai Yan paid the butcher a silver coin and ordered the beef he wanted to buy next time.
After buying the beef, Chai Yan asked the butcher if he had any cattle blood, pig blood or other livestock blood. The butcher laughed and said he had plenty of it, and immediately gave Chai Yan several large barrels of it, half selling and half giving it away.
Naturally, Chai Yan could not destroy the beef and pig blood in front of the butcher. Thinking that the butcher would be able to deliver it to his home for a long time in the future, Chai Yan left the address of Huguangju and asked him to find someone to sell the beef.
Send them together.
After leaving the butcher's shop, Chai Yan went to a nearby grocery store to buy some spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and star anise.
After all the materials were ready, Chai Yan saw that it was still early, so he went to the blacksmith shop on West Street.
When people in the first two larger blacksmith shops heard what Chai Yan said about what kind of barbecue grill he wanted to make, they all felt that he didn't know what he was talking about and rejected him without even finishing the sentence.
Chai Yan was speechless, but he had no choice but to go to another blacksmith shop. It wasn't like he didn't want to pay, so there would always be someone willing to do it.
Just as he was walking near the Earth Temple on West Street, Chai Yan suddenly noticed that a large group of people had gathered on the street in front of him, and everyone was chatting happily about something.
Chai Yan was not a person who liked to join in the fun, and at this time he was still preoccupied with finding the blacksmith shop, so he wanted to quickly pass through the crowd.
When Chai Yan walked to the crowd, he heard a slightly high-pitched voice: "Let me tell you, the man named Han Jian is known as the number one killer in Yaozhou! I heard people say that he will kill him in a few years.
I have killed hundreds of people and never failed once!"
As soon as Chai Yan heard the word "Han Jian", he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
At this time, another voice was heard saying: "I have never failed once? Then let me ask you, why did you fail this time? Why were you arrested by the government? Tell me, why..."
Chai Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and he was surprised...
Han Jian was arrested by the government? How could this happen?
With doubts, Chai Yan stayed in the discussing crowd for a while, and finally found out the general outline of the matter...
The common people's theory is that Han Jian was captured by the government and a master of King Xian's team. Now he has been beaten to death and imprisoned in the prison.
Chai Yan finally understood. No wonder it was so late yesterday and King Xian was still in the government office. It turned out to be because he caught Han Jian and was tortured all night long!
Thinking of this, Chai Yan suddenly became confused...
If Han Jian was jointly hired by King Xian and Lang Xiong to kill me, then why did they still interrogate him all night?
Chai Yan left the discussing crowd and walked while thinking, but after thinking for a long time he could not figure out the joints.
"Chai Yan, it's passed, it's passed..."
"Ah, what happened?"
Suddenly, Chai Yan heard Shangguan Peining calling him.
Shangguan Peining reminded: "Aren't you looking for the blacksmith shop? You have already passed by!"
"Where?"
Chai Yan turned around and looked around, and sure enough there was an old blacksmith shop behind him. A young man was pulling the bellows, and a middle-aged man was waving a hammer and hammering hard.
Xiao Ji Iron Furnace!
Chai Yan silently recited the name of the blacksmith shop and walked over...
