Chapter 1327 1327: Ming Xiu Plank Road (Part 1) [Please vote for me]
"B-Borrow the eye, father-in-law...it has become a spirit!"
The cook had been 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 servants who were working in the kitchen were also frightened and huddled in every corner. Only two sturdy servants in the room dared to stand in front of the water tank. Seeing Shen Tang and others was like 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. Misunderstanding, I have something important to do, so please allow me to keep my clothes on, this is a great kindness that I will never forget!
That's why he didn't climb out of the tank.
She was completely naked, not even an inch of hair on her body.
In the East Kitchen, except for three or four men who do manual labor, the rest are rough servants. He didn't want to make enemies with his master, so he couldn't just jump out and show off his butt. After all, he is a brave man. As long as he can find a reasonable excuse, the owner of the family will not make things difficult for him. He didn't want any more troubles, 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 the chef to prevent him from escaping. When Jellyfish saw the clothes being thrown over, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put them on. With his sharp ears and eyesight, he also heard his master complaining to others outside.
The other party's voice rose a few degrees.
"What a smooth and thick jellyfish, it was clearly transformed by a brave warrior. Everything can be faked these days! Go find the person who supplied the ingredients today and find out if this jellyfish essence was deliberately sneaked in? No, it’s for free?”
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 they lose their supply qualification because of this incident, how many people's livelihoods will be affected?
Dong Chu is responsible for the supply in the government office canteen. There are four meals a day with unlimited meat and vegetables, and the ingredients are required to be the freshest. A large amount of ingredients are consumed every day, and purchasing naturally becomes a big problem. However, Shen Tang did not let anyone take charge of this matter alone. Instead, he directly released the news and let the vendors compete on their own. Those who stand out will be qualified to provide stable supplies to the government. Yamen supplies food.
The price offered by the government is lower than the market price, which lowers the overall profit. It stands to reason that not many merchants want to do it, but they can't handle the high consumption of government offices and the quick settlement. The fish caught in those fishing villages have no worries about marketability, let alone the problem of backlog and stinking.
Regardless of the unit price, the profit is small, but the loss is low.
After conversion, profits do not fall but increase.
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 a look of embarrassment. It was she who saw an eye-catching fish among 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 Zhangtou to add this one to the purchase list.
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 farm crops in the village have a stable future. Not only their village, but also the fellow villagers in Linjun County are seeing better days.
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.
Still such a big jellyfish!
It’s as big as a water tank!
Shen Tang cross-examined carefully and found that everyone's testimonies were consistent. Was this really an accident? She was a little disappointed: "I thought that finally a martial artist discovered the magical power of the martial arts totem and knew that he could use it to blackmail people... I am 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, so he smiled.
"My lord, these words are a warning to the emperor. In the future, we must remind the common people to beware of those animals that can speak human words." Not everyone knows about brave warriors and literary scholars. In some remote areas, they only exist with words. According to the stories passed down, not to mention living people become totems of martial courage. If there is a treacherous person who relies on this scam, it is really hard to guard against.
The 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 walking the streets? It's not like a group of colleagues were involved in voluntarily working overtime. They really didn't care about the bottom line at all.
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 in their families were coming home later and later. At first, everyone thought it was the men who were raising children outside. After going to the government office to inquire, they found out that they were actually 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 and gave a big salute to the head of the family, thanking 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 that people on the shore like to be told good things.
Don’t reach out to 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 an employer who can stably order goods for my fellow villagers to barter with. Exchange supplies for fellow villagers.”
"Island? Do you know where this place is?"
From the coast to here, all the fish caught have long since rotted.
The jellyfish spirit said unhurriedly: "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 delivered frozen. There is little seafood in the inland, so the owner has little I think there are many business opportunities here.”
"Trader? 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 Xing Shang cannot explain.
Jellyfish Jing said: "It caused a feud in the world."
The content of the vendetta was not disclosed proactively.
Shen Tang nodded: "It turns out to be a personal grudge."
Seawater aquaculture has fewer parasites than freshwater aquaculture.
I can still taste it if I stay in the southwest. If I stay here, I can only synchronize my memory to scratch the itch. "...The younger one will inform the young master's family about this."
As he talked, Jellyfish felt that this was a good business. The tribesmen on the island have no land to make a living on land, and their food expenses are a huge sum. They can't all rely on the general's salary and rewards, right? They can indeed go out to sea to fish, freeze the fish and sell it to these people inland. It is also fresh seafood, and the price cannot be lower! The most important thing is that this is an exclusive business!
The jellyfish spirit drew a beautiful blueprint in an instant.
Shen Tang asked Jellyfish to leave a contact address and let him leave.
The address was made up by the jellyfish.
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 to make soup. Both physical and mental strength have reached the limit. He didn't even notice that there was a little tail following behind him.
No tracking was detected, but he was cautious enough.
With the money provided by Shen Tang, he found a house to live in temporarily.
Secretly inquire about this place, great joy!
It's only half a day's walk from his destination!
He asked the farmer for the address of his destination, 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 familiar it seemed.
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 could smell the embarrassment in the air. After all, yesterday’s scene was still fresh in my mind. Jellyfish tried hard to cover up, but when he turned around, he found that his master was close at hand. He was just being 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 island overseas and was also a general. His temperament is good among generals." Shen Tang responded to everyone first, and then added He turned around and was concerned about what happened to Jellyfish Jing, "Didn't Shen Lu **** 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?"
After confirming his identity, the Jellyfish Spirit opened his abdomen with his fingers, dug out a secret letter and presented it: "The general sent the letter secretly under the order, but was intercepted on the way. Depending on the number of moves, the person who intercepted and killed It’s definitely not a fool’s errand.”
Ordinary rangers may pursue flashy, elegant, elegant and moving moves, while warriors with a military background value ultimate cost-effectiveness and kill with one hit. Although his pursuers were disguised as rangers, their tricks could not deceive anyone.
That is to say -
The pursuit is inseparable from Qu Wangwang's court.
Shen Tang read the secret letter with a calm expression.
The luck in her palm blew 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 talk about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Mainland China?
"...Although there is an accident, it is also expected. Qu State annexed the southwestern countries, and there is nothing he can do..." What is truly terrifying is that the 20th-level Chehou has never shown up, and Zhai Xiaofang has also hidden his strength. Qu The country 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.
Just hit 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."
Kang's men were too far away, and the distant water could not save the nearby fire.
Xia Houyu said: "Perhaps we can bring in reinforcements."
"Move reinforcements? Who else can we ask for reinforcements now?" Shen Tang had already acted as a backup, but he became a little more interested after hearing Xia Houyu's words. Xiahou Yu and Gu De had a vast network of contacts, and the people they attracted extended their networks.
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.
Taking this place can break down the barriers between various places and connect all Shen Tang's territories in the central part of the country. Shanyong County was not captured, and it was quite troublesome for Shen Tang to support each other in the territory in his hands. Fortunately, she has special means of supplying grain and grass, otherwise the cost of transporting grain would be three to four times higher than the normal route. This cost is simply not something that a warlord with a weak footing can afford...
According to Xia Houyu, 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 reinforcement.

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