Poor monk is awesome

Chapter 104 Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Zhang Daniu returned home, prepared all his things, and when the tax official came, he gave them a few taels of silver.

"You really shouldn't be responsible for the Nie's family next door today. You can't bear the responsibility if you spoil the city lord's spirit." The tax official took the money, tossed it in his hand twice, and said while looking at Zhang Daniu.

"I just look at their family's pity and pay for them. What does this have to do with the city lord Yaxing?" Zhang Daniu showed a puzzled expression.

"Hmph, you don't understand even if you tell me." The tax official obviously didn't want to say anything, so he pouted at Zhang Daniu and said, "Didn't you say that you have prepared something for the city lord?"

"Oh, it's in the house." Zhang Daniu smiled, turned and went into the house.

After a while, he picked up a box and came out.

The tax official opened the box and found that it was full of marinated meat and pig ears, and it smelled fragrant.

"Hey, I didn't expect you, a pig butcher, to be so good at braised pork." The tax official laughed.

"Hehe, don't you want to please the city lord?" Zhang Daniu said with a smile.

"You guy, you look stupid, but you have a lot of thoughts. You will serve my city lord in a while. Remember to get some pig ears for our brothers to try." The tax collector raised his eyebrows and said.

"Hey, definitely, definitely." Zhang Daniu said with a smile.

"Alright, today's tax is almost done. The other brothers sent the grain to the grain depot. I'm going to the city lord's mansion to report today's situation. I happened to be on the way. You can go with me, so that the gatekeeper doesn't remember you." This is a butcher." The tax official patted Zhang Daniu on the shoulder.

"That's really great, thank you sir." Zhang Daniu nodded and smiled.

As soon as the two of them left the alley, a beautifully dressed woman walked towards them and walked past them, leaving behind a burst of fragrance.

Seeing the well-dressed woman walking into the alley, Zhang Daniu's face was a little ugly, and his hands tightly gripped the burden.

But the tax official gave him a bump with his arm, and said with a sneer, "I said Butcher Zhang, don't look at him, he is from the city lord's mansion, and you still want a toad to eat swan meat."

A smile appeared on Zhang Daniu's face immediately, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's just the first time I saw such a beautiful girl, her skin is so white."

"Hehe, look at how promising you are." The tax official shook his head: "This kind of thing is still beautiful. There are many girls who are prettier than her in the city lord's mansion. Otherwise, why would she come out to do errands?"

"That's right, sir, you are wise. Let's go with you today to broaden your horizons." Zhang Daniu nodded and agreed with a smile.

"Well, let's go, don't miss the time." The tax collector was very impressed by Zhang Daniu's words and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Daniu walked behind carrying a burden, the flattery in his eyes turned into indifference.

. . . . . .

The City Lord's Mansion arrived soon. Four black-armored sergeants stood at the door of the City Lord's Mansion. Each of them had bright eyes and a steady aura. They were obviously masters.

After the tax officer explained the situation, the black-armored warrior on the left frowned and said, "Why does a mere butcher go through the front door? You take him around to the back door. The back door is where the butcher's servants enter the mansion."

"Oh, that's right, I was negligent." The tax official nodded quickly, looked back at Zhang Daniu, and said coldly, "Go around to the back door by yourself, I have to go to the mansion to report."

"Okay." Zhang Daniu still nodded cheerfully.

After Zhang Daniu carried a load and walked half a circle around the city lord's mansion, he finally saw the back door.

The decoration behind it is also very grand, and there are some handymen and servants coming in and out at the moment.

Zhang Daniu was carrying a burden and was stopped by a manager. After explaining his intention and identity, the manager looked at Zhang Daniu and said:

"So you are Butcher Zhang. I heard people talking about you in the mansion. Your pork is praised by the city lord." The steward raised his head and said calmly.

"Hehe, it's my honor that the steward knows me. The steward will come to my meat stand some other day, and I will cut a few catties of high-quality pork for you." Zhang Daniu laughed.

"Okay, okay, I don't like your little pork, go in." The steward waved his hand impatiently.

Zhang Daniu nodded with a smile and went in carrying the burden.

Walking along the road, smelling the smoke along the way, Zhang Daniu quickly found the kitchen.

The kitchen is huge, and the stoves inside are arranged in a zigzag shape, with four exits, and a large chopping board in the middle, with dark red marks on the big chopping board.

In the kitchen, a few strong men in scarves were stirring something, and there were many handymen helping the kitchen washing, chopping and serving dishes.

Zhang Daniu walked in, but no one paid any attention to him.

Regardless of the others, he found a vacant place, put down the burden, took out the braised pork and braised pig ears and arranged them on the chopping board, then took out the butcher's knife from under the burden and began to cut slowly.

"Hey, you guy, if you don't use a kitchen knife to cut meat, why would you use a butcher's knife?" A handyman carrying the plate saw Jiu Jie's face and saw him cutting meat with a butcher's knife. He couldn't help but Open your mouth and say.

Zhang Daniu looked up at the handyman coldly, and said lightly: "Practice your hands."

The handyman turned cold when Zhang Daniu looked at him, he didn't dare to talk to him again, and hurried away with the tray.

About an hour later, Zhang Daniu had neatly cut off the braised pig ears, turned the butcher knife around in his hand, and looked towards the kitchen door.

A little girl wrapped in a white cloth was carried in.

The little girl had white hair, her eyes were terrified, and her eyes were wet, but she bit her lip and dared not cry out.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Daniu sighed softly. Although he expected the ending to be like this, the Nie family couple were too anxious, so they sold their daughter so simply.

The handymen in the kitchen all licked their mouths and looked at the little girl, as if they were looking delicious.

Sure enough, there are such servants as there are masters.

Zhang Daniu took the butcher's knife in his hand and walked over slowly.

The two carried the little girl to the big cutting board in the middle of the kitchen.

The little girl was put on the cutting board and tried to get up.

The brawny cook held her down with one hand, looked at her twice, nodded and said, "The meat looks good."

"Little brother." The little girl tightly held a piece of jade pendant in the water, even if her body hurt from being brushed in the bath, she was not willing to throw it away.

She knew where this was, this was the city lord's mansion, the god of this small town, even if she really broke the jade pendant, her little brother would not be able to save her.

Moreover, I don’t know where my little brother is now...has he forgotten Hong Ling?

Tears rolled down the little girl's cheeks.

The brawny cook raised the kitchen knife high and chopped it down fiercely.

Bang!
Pfft!

A burly figure flew over and stepped on the stove, and kicked the cook on the head.

The cook was kicked up as if he had been hit on the head with a sledgehammer, and hit the stove, his head smashed to pieces on the bricks.

Zhang Daniu held the butcher's knife in his right hand, and directly picked up Nie Hongling who was stunned on the chopping board with his left hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhang Daniu looked at Nie Hongling in his arms and said softly.

"Little brother." Nie Hongling opened his eyes wide, thinking he was dreaming.

Because Zhang Daniu's voice was no longer the usual thick and vigorous voice, but the voice of Jiujie.

Zhang Daniu nodded slightly.

Nie Hongling laughed through tears, and the hand holding the jade pendant under the white cloth tightened her grip.
