In the Blade

The post station recently launched a takeaway business.

This business did not exist before. After all, the post station is a little far from Sanshan Town. There is only an old man who manages the post station. There are not many pedestrians coming and going. Everyone just eats or stays in a hotel.

But after Du Chengfeng came, it was completely different. On the one hand, he was indeed practicing some local specialties from the old man, such as the four cooking methods of mushrooms, but on the other hand, as a person who has been studying cooking, he can use too many unique skills. Whether it is Huaiyang cuisine, official cuisine, or street snacks such as fried skewers and barbecue, he can easily handle it.

It is precisely because of this that the post station, which was originally opened mainly for pedestrians to rest, is now more and more like a restaurant.

Many local people in Sanshan Town are happy to come here when they have nothing to do. Experienced diners will not choose to sit in the store, but will choose to set up a table outside the house, order three or five dishes, call friends, eat, and enjoy the nearby Daoliu River.

Although most locals think that this ditch-like river is nothing to see, it is better to have a view than nothing.

Of course, for most ordinary people, takeaway service is not open. After all, there are too few people in the post station, and there are only three cooks, Du Chengfeng. Besides, the dishes ordered by everyone are often varied, and everyone has their own taste. If they make mistakes or send the wrong dishes, there will always be disputes and troubles.

So at present, the post station only accepts one-time large orders, at least 20 servings, so that it is convenient to assemble uniformly, and no one can pick and choose when they take it.

To put it bluntly, it is more like an employee cafeteria. After all, an average family cannot eat 20 servings. Those who can afford this amount are basically relatively large organizations.

For example, the county government.

The county yamen runners are the most capable group in Sanshan Town. Perhaps their wealth is not as good as those of the local tyrants, but compared to those tyrants who directly keep cooks at home, the yamen runners are more willing to go out and spend money, and are also willing to go to restaurants - it's a pity that as the most popular restaurant in Sanshan Town, the location of this post station is really a bit off, and the yamen runners have to go to work and report for duty, so it's not convenient to come here to eat.

So these yamen runners came to the door and wanted to ask the post station if they could send them some food every now and then.

"We can add money!"

This is how the yamen runners negotiated.

Although the mass grave has lost some of its popularity due to the previous murder case, the previous ticket money has already made the yamen runners eat a lot. Now it's just a few good meals, which is the time for them to show off their wealth.

"No problem, no problem."

Du Chengfeng agreed as a matter of course.

Money is secondary, he has no shortage of it, but being able to go out for a walk is a great thing for him at the moment - after all, he has just stabilized his body shape, and it will take some time to adapt, and going out for a walk is the best way to adapt.

It is very relaxing, not intense, but there is still a certain amount of activity. This kind of exercise is just right for Du Chengfeng, whose whole body is tense to the extreme.

Today is the first day of delivering takeout. After cooking forty servings of dishes, Du Chengfeng, who has shrunk again, carried a huge food box out of the door.

This is also the first time that Du Chengfeng has really stepped into Sanshan Town.

If you want to be strict, it can't be considered the first time. After all, when he killed the golden knife man before, he ran to the county government to report the case - but there was an emergency that day, and he drank a lot of wine. As for the time when he went door to door to borrow a shovel to dig a pit, it was for work. He entered the town twice, but he just passed by in a hurry. He didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the town.

And now, he finally has time to appreciate this town.

The name of Sanshan Town sounds like there is some saying, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is because there are three mountains around, Datang Mountain, Kangping Mountain, and Jubao Mountain. In the middle of these three mountains is Sanshan Town. Logically speaking, it is not easy to have a town in this kind of inconvenient terrain. There is only one village, but Sanshan Town has its own advantages.

The existence of the three mountains does block the traffic of Sanshan Town, but these three mountains also protect the residents of Sanshan Town. Once there is any trouble, people will go directly into the mountains, and when it is a peaceful year, they will go down the mountain to live. Perhaps this is why Sanshan Town exists. To put it bluntly, people like safe places.

However, being too close to the three hills is not necessarily a good thing, especially in peaceful years, when people are not in the mountains, the hills will become the habitat of bandits. Fortunately, Sanshan Town is poor enough, and the bandits are too lazy to rob here. In addition, the golden sword man who occupied the mountain as the king was recently suppressed, so there is no problem.

As for Sanshan Town itself, due to the small population, there are actually only four streets that can be called main roads. One is the street that Du Chengfeng is walking on now. It runs from east to west and is also the road leading to the outside of the town. Because there are many outsiders passing by, there are relatively more restaurants on this street. There are also two tailor shops where you can tailor clothes or buy some ready-made clothes directly.

This street originally had no name, but because the post station in the distance has become prosperous recently, and there is a backflow river, the locals use the stone bridge on the river as a landmark and call it Qiaonan Street.

Halfway through Qiaonan Street, you reach the intersection. This north-south street is also called Gulou Street because it leads directly to the Bell and Drum Towers. Compared with Qiaonan Street, there are relatively more rice, flour, grains and oils on Gulou Street. Nearby Farmers will also come here to set up stalls to sell some fresh vegetables, and even most of the ingredients at the inn are purchased here.

After walking along Gulou Street for a while, we came to another intersection. This street has no name, but the town's blacksmith shop is located here. There is also a carpentry workshop on the other side. Everyone needs some tools. You will come here every time. You don’t need to mention the street, just say “go to the blacksmith shop” and you will know where it is.

After walking down this street, it is the last and most core street of Sanshan Town. Although this street has no name and there are no shops on the street, this street has the most popular shopping mall in Sanshan Town. An important building—that is, the county government office of Sanshan Town.

Around the county government office, there are various buildings such as the police prison and so on, occupying the entire street.

This is also the destination of Du Chengfeng's trip.

"Why did you ask me to deliver it in person?"

Seeing that the cook actually delivered the food to his door, the government servants who originally only wanted to show off were a little embarrassed. In their eyes, it was just a shame to let the children in the inn run errands. Who would have thought that the other party would actually do it? Will give face like this.

Du Chengfeng didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, he just came here for a walk. It was quite a distance from the inn to here, but he still maintained a body size of only six feet, which is about 1.8 meters. When there was no unexpected expansion, even the clothes on his body did not tear, which was enough to prove that his control over his body had gradually stabilized.

Stability will bring a sense of security, and a sense of security will make people feel relaxed. After people relax, they will have more energy to observe and appreciate the surrounding environment.

For example, the swallow's nest on the roof beam of the class room looks very beautiful, and the sound of a nest of little swallows chirping sounds very festive.

But immediately, Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

"swallow?"

Du Chengfeng subconsciously glanced at his right hand, then turned to look at the leading Yamen servant.

"You also have swallows here?"

"Yes, every household has it, how could we not have it here?"

The yamen servant smiled, with a bit of pride on his face.

"There are swallows building nests here, which means that this place is suitable for people to live. If you ask me, no matter how good the wind blows outside, it will only be like that. To really support people, we have to look at our Sanshan Town..."

"Um."

Du Chengfeng responded casually, but his eyes were always fixed on the swallow's nest above the beam.

Swallows are found in every household, and they are also found here, which sounds reasonable.

But that’s not how it worked out at all.

It's also a place where people come and go. There are no swallows building nests at the inn. Why do these birds change their behavior again when they get to the government office?

"Still..."

When the officer was not paying attention, Du Chengfeng suddenly reached out and picked off a flying swallow.

He still didn't catch anything, only a ball of ink remained in his hand.

At the same time, Yuan Zhixian, who was far away in the county government office, suddenly raised his head.

"Yo! What's wrong with your hand?"

The Yamen servant who turned around also noticed something was wrong here.

"Why are your hands so black? What's on them... hurry up and find some water to wash them off!"

The yamen servant hurriedly went out to find water, but a man walked towards him. Neither of them paid attention, and they almost bumped into each other.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, the officer's face became a little more unlucky.

"This is Capt. Wu, he was transferred from outside a few days ago."

The yamen servant introduced the visitor to Du Chengfeng, and then pointed to Du Chengfeng's side.

"This is the cook from the inn, who specially delivers food... The money you spend to buy these food is the dead man's money in your mouth. If you, Mr. Wu, give me a favor, sit down and have a few drinks, and everyone will treat it as a matter of course. If you still feel that the brothers are not doing the right thing, then let’s do our own thing from now on and no one should pay attention to anyone, what do you think?”

It turns out that this is the real reason why the government officials ordered a table of dishes. On the one hand, it is to taste something new and have a smooth meal. On the other hand, they are also preparing to have a drink and talk things over with Capt. Wu - after all, Capt. Wu is their superior officer after all, and everyone can see each other without looking up, so there is no need to make things too tense. What's more, everyone didn't do anything wrong. Everything was overdone by the magistrate. At best, it can only be regarded as different ideas.

It's a pity that Capt. Wu doesn't seem to feel the goodwill of everyone.

The government officials put forward a reconciliation plan, but Capt. Wu didn't even bother to talk to him. From the moment he entered the house, Capt. Wu's eyes were fixed on Du Chengfeng.

After all, Du Chengfeng's eyes had been locked on him before this.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Capt. Wu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Do you have any opinions about me?"

"You still ask me why I'm looking at you?"

Du Chengfeng sneered, then slapped the case and stood up.

"I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"

"Varied……"

Before anyone could react, the huge arm like a pillar suddenly thrust forward, and the body of Captain Wu was completely blown away, and he was embedded directly into the opposite wall!

"this……"

Looking at Wu the Constable who was smashed against the wall, then at Du Chengfeng who was six feet tall, and then at the eight-foot-long thick giant arm, the yamen runners couldn't tell which side looked less human.

Fortunately, the eight-foot-long thick giant arm finally retracted to its original shape, which also made Du Chengfeng's figure look much more coordinated. As for Wu the Constable on the wall...

Wu the Constable on the wall was floating down.

"Hit, hit people like hanging paintings?"

One yamen runner couldn't help but speak subconsciously.

Hitting people like hanging paintings is a martial arts term. As for what realm this is, everyone has their own opinions - but no matter how much they say, it's probably not the current situation. Rather than saying it's hitting people like hanging paintings, it's better to say that people are beaten into paintings!

In theory, as yamen runners, they should stop this atrocity. Even if they take a step back, their superiors were beaten, and they, as subordinates, should stand up. But thinking of the huge arm just now, and looking at the thin Wu Constable on the ground, they really didn't dare to make such a stupid move.

"Just pretend that you didn't see anything! Constable Wu just went out and was hit by a car!"

The yamen runners made such a decision one after another, and even began to lament the bad luck of Constable Wu.

However, at this time, the already thin Wu Constable spoke again.

"Again and again... You are a person from outside, do you really think that I can't kill you?"

"You can actually kill me?"

Du Chengfeng was overjoyed.

"Great! This is what I want! I haven't met an opponent for a long time! They can't beat me at all... Come! I'll stand here! Hit here!"

Du Chengfeng slapped his chest hard, and his thick chest muscles were slapped with a bang.

"If you don't come to hit me, then I will hit you! If I don't beat your shit out, you will be considered clean today!"

"... You are looking for death."

Facing Du Chengfeng's provocation, Constable Wu took a deep breath.

Then, in front of everyone, Captain Wu's face began to dissolve and peel off.

It turned into a pool of ink, condensing on a human-shaped piece of rice paper.

"Oh?"

Du Chengfeng became interested. He had never seen such a thing.

At this moment, the pool of ink suddenly rushed towards him.
