Yang Lin found that he actually ate very bitterly.

The buns kneaded from the fine flour are extra soft and seem to melt in the mouth. Although there is not much meat filling, but with some vegetables as filling, it tastes sweet and mellow...

It's not that it can't be sold out.

This bun is for himself, he knows.

There was a muffled coughing sound from the back room.

This is already the specialty of this small shop.

Yang Lin also knew that it was Yunniang's husband who was coughing, a scholar named Zeng.

Because he failed the imperial examination and was nearly thirty years old, he had become depressed and ill. He had been lying in bed for many years, relying on medicinal soup to hang his life.

So the past, year after year.

It all depends on Yunniang to maintain the family's livelihood.

To tell you the truth, there are not many customers in this restaurant.

Ordinary civilians, no one would come out to eat.

Even if they come, it won't cost a lot of money.

Rich people, let alone come here, because Yunniang can't receive any good ingredients...

Butcher Zhang next door sells her meat, which is also more expensive.

Her shop is open all day long, and her income is not high.

In the evening, after the shop closes, Yunniang will go to the newly opened small sewing workshop in Dongtou to work, which can be regarded as a little supplement for the family.

And, buy some medicinal materials...

These days, everyone is trying their best to survive, and it is not easy for anyone.

However, every time I walk into this store, I will always have a full meal, not to mention anything else.

It has been raining for days, the fishing boats cannot go out to sea, and the boy has no work to do. He is hungry and dizzy these days.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

Actually, he knows.

Even if she doesn't chop firewood, Yunniang will definitely keep food for him.

……

"Where are the plum blossoms?"

"What about punches?"

Yang Lin was full of doubts. He knew that this time he was here to practice boxing, but he only saw a young man from a fishing village struggling to survive.

There is no sign of practicing boxing at all.

just kidding.

I can't even eat enough, and I still practice boxing. Besides, I don't have a master.

It wasn't long before the doubts arose.

Soon, this boy with a good name named Zhou Hongyi taught him a lesson.

"Sister-in-law Yun, I will definitely call the game to improve the business of your shop."

So the boy went up the mountain.

He is really familiar with the mountains and forests.

He looked less like a fisherman than a hunter.

With a broken hatchet in hand, he went hunting.

Rabbits are hard to chase, and pheasants cannot be caught.

Bigger wild animals run even faster and are very vigilant.

The young man picked up some wild rabbits and pheasants every now and then. They were stupid little things that bumped into him, and he was reluctant to eat them, so he sent them back to Yunniang's shop...

He liked to see the happy smile on that always tired woman's face.

Not to mention, Yang Lin found that after Yunniang washed her face, her pretty face was white and glowing, which could be broken by blowing bullets, especially her pair of big black eyes, which seemed to be smiling all the time when looking at people. joy.

Really nice looking.

He thought so.

……

It should be felt that this gain is not great.

The teenager also started to use his brains.

He felt that he couldn't catch his prey because he wasn't running fast enough or steady enough.

So, came to a small hill.

Here are all the pomelo trees that have been cut down.

The fishermen at the bottom of the mountain cut down trees to make boats.

Because the tree resources are abundant, they will not cherish them, and they will not cut them off.

When felling a tree, choose the best place to strike with the axe.

As a result, it was cut into long and short stumps that looked like canine teeth and remained.

Long or short dense tree stumps are covered from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

It's like a bald head with countless dysentery, which is very ugly.

Most people are reluctant to walk in here, because it is difficult to walk, it takes time and effort to walk around, and it is easy to bump into bumps.

Stepping on the piles and jumping, you will fall if you are not careful. It is not a trivial matter to get bruised and swollen.

There is a possibility of breaking bones all over the body.

Others are afraid of this mountain and find it difficult to walk.

The young Zhou Hongyi, however, took a fancy to this place and it was not easy to leave.

He felt that there were too many rocks and grass on the mountain, and it was not flexible enough to run because his feet were not agile enough.

Moreover, his own reaction ability is not enough.

When the eyes see an obstacle, they have already fallen, and they can't take care of it at all.

Those roe deer couldn't escape, as long as he can be faster, faster...

Want to increase your running speed on hills.

Let your feet be flexible and react faster.

Is there any place where the legs and feet are more flexible than this place full of wooden piles?

Therefore, on the side of the mountain forest, one boy can be seen every day.

From the unfamiliarity and clumsiness when setting up the pile, take a few steps and fall.

Gradually, you will be able to walk with great strides.

Until it runs like flying.

This process took a full year and a half.

Soon, the business of Yunniang's corner shop also improved.

Because most of the time, young people can catch wild animals and send them to the store.

He no longer has to worry about food.

Compared to not being hungry.

What he wanted to see more was actually Yunniang's smile.

It's a pity that Shusheng Zeng's illness in the back room is getting worse, his cough is getting louder, and he needs more money to buy medicine.

Therefore, Yunniang is still busy every day, and still has to go out to sew clothes at night.

Life doesn't seem to have changed much.

However, the boy lived in peace.

At this moment, he was used to punching and kicking while running, and he could even slash with a knife when he lost his balance while running...

Seeing the deer and roe, basically they will not return empty-handed.

this day.

It was almost noon.

He carried a musk deer on his back, and under the strange eyes of everyone, he walked to the door of Yunniang's shop, and heard a roar coming from inside.

Pushing the door open, I saw a few policemen.

The one who yelled was Butcher Zhang from the next door. With a thick voice and a heavy face, he just tried to persuade: "Mother Yun, now everyone thinks that you are not angry with Scholar Zeng, the tuberculosis ghost, who beat you, so I killed him with medicine...

I don't believe it, but it's useless if I don't believe it alone, the magistrate must believe it. "

"Don't worry, my old Zhang has saved a lot of money over the years. I have managed it up and down, and if I hire a better lawyer, I can always get you out of the crime. Of course, I can't help you in vain..."

When the people around were either booing, pitying, or scolding.

Yunniang was confused and became the third concubine of Zhang Tuhu.

That small shop naturally became the Zhang family's too.

The case settled down.

No one mentioned Yunniang killing her husband anymore.

……

The young man knew that Yunniang was a kind-hearted little woman, and she had to be lucky for a long time even to kill a chicken, so she squinted her eyes and cut it off.

How could she kill someone?Or kill the husband who has taken care of her for so many years.

Moreover, he also knew that Shusheng Zeng, despite being depressed and ill, has always loved and felt guilty for Yunniang.

For so many years, he refused to even scold her, so how could he beat her?

However, Zhang Tuhu has a good younger sister who looks particularly juicy.

He was even more cruel. When his sister was 13 years old, he rushed to give her to the 65-year-old county magistrate as a concubine. He had a background.

Although he is a butcher, he is also a meat eater.

Yunniang couldn't escape his grasp no matter what.

This guy will come to Yunniang's house whenever he has something to do, his eyes are sly, and he has evil thoughts, and it's not a day or two.

Yunniang can't do the poison in the medicine, but he must be able to.

Because outsiders are spreading rumors that Butcher Zhang is cruel, and he tortured the two concubines to death.He passed away at a young age, and there was not a single person who called for injustice.

No matter what this kind of person does, it is not surprising.

Therefore, the young man felt that he could not let Yunniang fall into the kang, and he wanted to save her.

Chapter 038

Speaking of the profession of butcher, although it is not very eye-catching, it seems to be an inferior person.

However, in this year, being able to eat large pieces of meat and drink in large bowls every day can already be compared with dignitaries.

In Quanzhou City, Butcher Zhang is well-known, but he didn't just start off by selling girls...

He inherited his father's business from the beginning, and his family has wealth. The place where Zhang's family lives is a big manor, which is no worse than some wealthy businessmen.

On this day, Zhang Tuhu's manor was extremely lively, and there were many wealthy businessmen and officials among the guests.

After all, Zhang Tuhu is actually a person of status in Quanzhou.

His family held a happy event, and the folks in the big hometown bowed their heads and did not look up to see them, so they always had to follow the joy and ceremony.
