Chapter 129

It happened to catch up with the northwest wind, and it was a moonlit night, and the boat didn't stop all night, except for a few sailors who adjusted the sails, everyone else fell asleep.I didn’t talk all night, and I docked at Dengzhou Port at noon the next day. Regardless of whether I brought goods or not, the tax was collected according to the size of the ship. This centipede ship had to pay a tax of one tael of silver, and Chai Lin didn’t argue about it. The boat Anton waited with the head and the sailors from here, and then brought Chai Meng and the group of people ashore on foot. As soon as they got out of the pier, the road on both sides was full of people, squatting on both sides of the road, some in ragged clothes, some with disheveled faces , and some looked numb.

Seeing Chai Lin and the others, these people immediately regained their energy, gathered around and asked, "I want someone, do you need someone? You can do all kinds of chores."

Dozens of people were chattering, and they were all waiting for work.Several guards immediately protected Chailin, their waist knives came out.Chai Meng shouted: "I'm not looking for work, I'm just passing by, let's go."

These people dispersed resentfully, and sat on the side of the road one by one.

It is not appropriate for a dozen or so people to enter the city with long knives, bows and arrows. After all, they are not local to Cangzhou, and they have found an inn near the port to settle down.Chai Lin and Chai Meng led five scouts to hide their weapons and headed towards Dengzhou City.

A group of people rushed to Dengzhou City along the main road. After careful questioning, the distance was only five or six miles. The distance was short, and there was no need to hire a carriage, just walk.

Dengzhou City is a port city. The old city is relatively small and cannot be built anymore. With the old city as the center, all the surrounding buildings are buildings, complete with squares and cities.

On the north side of the main road two or three miles outside the east gate of Dengzhou, there is a large three-story building with a plaque hanging on the gate, with three large characters written on it: Gujialou.

There is also a big butcher's shop next to the Gu family building, a good yard, and a three-room facade, where six or seven strong men kill cattle and horses.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the laws and regulations were strict, and large animals such as cattle, horses, and donkeys were important labor forces. The focus of local state inspections was that they were not allowed to kill and eat meat at will.Only when the big animals are old can they be sold to the store designated by the Yamen for slaughtering. Gujialou is the old cattle designated by the Yamen. Cowhide and beef are both relatively expensive things. This business is naturally very profitable. Similar to the unique business of scrap cars.

This place is the well-known Gu family in Dengzhou. The owner's surname is Sun, and he is a door-to-door son-in-law with no status.

The sun is good today, Mrs. Gu took a bench and basked in the sun at the door.This sister-in-law Gu belongs to the big skeleton type, about 1.7 meters tall, she looks young, about 27 years old, with fair and tender skin, almond-shaped round stools, a high-hanging gall nose, high hair on the temples, and golden hairpins.She was dressed in a satin shirt with the collar pulled down very low. She wanted to be low-key but her strength didn't allow it.

Seeing Mrs. Gu's beauty, a man passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances. Seeing that he was not looking at the road, Mrs. Gu bumped into a pole, and quickly reminded: "Be careful of the pole, be careful of the pole."

The man thought Mrs. Gu was calling him, so he quickly replied, "Little baby, little baby."

"Bang." The man bumped his forehead against the pole, staring at him.

Mrs. Gu scolded: "Stupid, I told you to be careful and didn't listen to the pole, you deserve it if you hit it."

A diner in his 30s came and came to the door and said, "Sister Gu, what are you laughing at, she's so happy."

"It's nothing, a fool hit a pole." Mrs. Gu said.

The diner said with a smile: "In ancient times, there were beauties who drowned fish and geese, and closed the moon to shame flowers. Today, there are beauties who hit the pole, hahaha."

"Laughing at you big-headed ghost, what are you eating today?" Mrs. Gu laughed.

The diner was not angry either, and said with a smile, "Give me a bowl of beef soup."

Aunt Gu curled her lips, and said: "Drunk and delusional, bragging about one big and one long, and only married a wife for a few years, you have to rely on Niu Chong Tang to continue your life."

"Haha, what's the matter, I just want to support your sister-in-law Gu's business." The diner said.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Mrs. Gu went back to the restaurant, and two waiters with white towels came out of the door to welcome the guests.

At this time, Chai Lin and Chai Meng brought five men over, and Chai Meng came over and asked, "Man, what's there to eat in the shop?"

"Our store has special stewed beef, chicken with sauce, and all kinds of seafood from Dengzhou. They are delicious and not expensive, and the price is affordable." The clerk said.

Chai Lin said: "Come on, let's eat from here, we have to get down to business after eating."

A group of seven people entered the hall, found a table in the corner on the right and sat down. They ordered some stewed pork, roast chicken, and sesame seed cakes, and they were ready to eat.

At this time, ten Xiang troops with knives came in mighty and mighty. The leader looked like a team in his clothes, and he was in charge of a dozen or so people.

Today, this team didn't know whether they had taken the wrong medicine or what, so they came to Ben Chailin's table.

The leader wore his hat on one side, squinted his eyes, and said, "Make room for the gentlemen, this is the special table for the grandpa to eat."

Chai Lin frowned, although he usually has a good temper, but sometimes, there are more than a dozen empty tables in such a big restaurant, what do you mean by asking me to make room for you to come to my table?
Chai Lin clasped his fists and said, "My friend, there are so many empty tables in this store, you can find a place to sit yourself. It is convenient for others to be convenient for you. The road is open to the sky. Let's go each way. We are strangers and have nothing to do with each other." .”

"Mr. Jun, I can't eat at other tables, so I like this table." The team was saying.

Chai Meng looked left and right, and said with a smile, "Did you hear that, a wild dog came running from somewhere, barking here."

"Haha, did we hear that, this wild dog just doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth." Everyone laughed.

The upright team was full of fire hats, pulled out the knife with a jerk, and shouted: "You are tired of working, dare to scold grandpa."

Chai Meng's strike was like lightning, he went over and slapped his knife on his cheek, the slap was really loud.

Dui Zheng saw that the knife in his hand was gone, and said to the brothers behind him: "Brothers, copy guys, fuck them."

"Are you going to demolish my shop? Li Duizheng, you don't think I, Mrs. Gu, can't hold a knife anymore." Mrs. Gu came out with two knives.

Li Duizheng said: "Sister-in-law Gu, they beat me."

"I'm not blind yet. You come to eat and drink for nothing on weekdays. I just turn a blind eye and close my eyes. I'll just get by. If you're still making trouble here, it looks like it's time for Tiha Sun to fix you." Mrs. Gu said.

"No, no, we still have something to do, don't disturb Mrs. Gu's business, I'll see you later." Li Er, the team leader, led a group of people away.

Mrs. Gu turned around and looked at the people at the table like Chai Lin. The leader was a young and handsome person with extraordinary martial arts.

Mrs. Gu clasped her fists and said, "Guest officers, I'm sorry."

Chai Lin got up and said, "So it's the famous Mrs. Gu in Dengzhou, disrespectful and disrespectful, she is Chai Lin, the owner of Chaijiazhuang."
