Chapter 42

The sun shines on the rolling Yellow River, and the river water is shining with golden light. Several water birds hover over the river, and suddenly plunge into the turbid river water. After a while, they drill out of the water, flapping their wings and shaking off the water droplets on their bodies.

Even the fishing birds work harder here than other places. The river water mixed with mud and sand cannot see clearly the underwater situation, so they often go into the water for nothing.

On the shore are reed marshes that cannot be seen at first sight, like two green jade belts, holding the yellowed river in the palm of your hand and extending to the horizon. On the river bank, tall willows float in the wind, looking a little lonely.

Horses eat grass on the grass by the river, free and leisurely.

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

In the distance, several soldiers from the bridge and road army shouted loudly in the reeds, chasing their prey. The two sides of the Yellow River were sparsely populated, with many birds and beasts of all kinds. A few people were sent every day, and Xu Ping kept playing games.

Suddenly, Lu Fang brought two of his men to come over panting and saluted to Xu Ping: "Marty, let's leave for a while, go buy some food, and then rush back in the afternoon."

Seeing that his expression was a little unnatural, Xu Ping stood up and said, "Just send two soldiers to the county town to buy it. If you have any strange things, you want to take someone to buy it!"

"Oh, these kinds of foods are eaten every day, and the wild game is tasteless and tasteless. There are not many meats. The brothers' mouths fade out of their mouths! It is said that Mengzhou's pork is the best in the world. How can we not taste the taste when we get here? It's a pity that Zheng Tu, the pig dealer, came here. There were several Mengzhou pig dealers coming here in a few days, but they didn't sell it to us! Is our money fake? We just saw him driving a few pigs from Mengzhou, and today we bought one and came back to eat!"

Xu Ping thought for a moment and smiled and said, "That's right, then you can go and go back quickly. But remember to buy things fairly, don't buy them with force, which will ruin my reputation!"

Lu Fang crossed his hands and responded to the promise, and took his two men to hurry.

The land between the two capitals is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many saline-alkali lands, so pigs are naturally not as cost-effective as shepherds. Although there are a lot of pigs eaten in the capital every day, they are still far inferior to mutton. Moreover, when the cooking method is mainly cooked, the pork tastes not as good as mutton. When it is popular, it turns over.

At this time, there were many famous places for producing sheep, such as Shaanxi Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Road. There were several states where sheep were produced in the world. And if we talk about pork, there was no other place in the world that could be compared with Mengzhou.

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

Xu Ping also misses the delicious tastes of braised pork and other people in his previous life. However, the pork I bought in Beijing was a little worse, and I don’t know what the difference was. In short, it was a little too heavy and not as warm as the pork in his previous life’s memory.

I wonder if the pork in Mengzhou is as magical as the legendary one. If the taste is really good, I can also introduce and breed it in Zhongmutian Village. Maybe it will be another way to make money.

He was not worried about Lu Fang's disaster. Lu Fang was careless and very sensible in doing things. What accidents could happen if he used money to buy meat? It was nothing if others didn't want to sell it to scare.

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

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him: "Let's live in the pig dealer in front, and sell two to the Sa family to the teeth-beating ceremony!"

Zheng Er was startled and turned around. Seeing Lu Fang bringing two subordinates to the scene, he was stroking with his eyes. He dragged the willow branches behind him. Zheng Er said helplessly: "Dianzhi, I have told you several times that these pigs are from Mengzhou. They have all paid deposits. If you have a buyer, you can't sell them to you."

"What are you talking about? It's just a pig from Mengzhou, and the family wants to buy you! Could it be that other people's money is money, but my money is not money? How do you sell it to others? You can sell it to me when you go back and refund their orders!"

Seeing Lu Fang bringing people over with great momentum, Zheng Er was also a little scared and stepped back and said: "My agent's business is about credit. If others pay the deposit, of course there must be pigs for them. If the palace wants to buy it, they still have to pay the deposit before buying it. A pound of pigs from Mengzhou is always a few cents more than the local pigs. If the deposit is gone, I may lose my capital. My whole family relies on this life, how dare I break the rules in vain?"

Lu Fang remembered what Xu Ping said before leaving, suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Zheng Er: "It's not that I won't pay you to order money, but after paying the money, I will eat meat for half a month. Who can wait for that long?!"

"The rules are so good, so I will forgive you, so it's not easy to make an exception. Mengzhou is more than 100 miles away from here, and every time I go back, I have to drive the pigs away from the return journey. If I have a short time, I can't do business."

A soldier behind Lu Fang whispered: "What are you talking nonsense about to say to this storm? We just grab one and leave money for him! We have never broken the rules when we buy goods and pay for them."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Er's ears were pointed, so he heard this. He took a step back and stared at him and said, "Dianzhi, this pig is ordered by local big customers, but I can't afford to be guilty! You should pay the money first and wait a few more days!"

"Well, local big family?" Lu Fang suddenly remembered, "How many big families can there be in remote areas like Heyin County? If you don't have the two families Jiang Dayou and Tong Qilang, that's all. Just sell the pigs to me, and I'll send someone to tell those two families. When our county marquis comes here, they want to eat some specialty and good meat from the local area, but they still have to pay it back?"

Zheng Er shook his head repeatedly: "The people who buy pigs repeatedly told me not to leak their names. Dianzhi, I am a small family, and life is not easy. I rely on this business to support my family. Don't ruin my job!"

After hearing this, Lu Fang and the people behind him laughed together: "You butcher, you just slaughter two pigs and sell meat every day. You are still afraid that others will know the people who buy pigs every day! You are not afraid of laughing! You know that you are selling pork, but you don't know what kind of illegal business you are doing!"

Zheng Er sighed, shook his head and said nothing.

Lu Fang said to the soldier behind him: "We told the county marquis to come out to buy meat. No matter what, we should not be confused by the guy in front of us, otherwise how can we explain it when we go back?"

The two soldiers nodded repeatedly and said yes.

Lu Fang raised her head and raised her chest and said to Zheng Er: "Okay, it's not difficult for you to have a family. I have free time today, so I will drive the pigs back with you. Seeing who they sell, I will buy two of them back!" To be continued.
