Vicious cannon fodder loves farming

Yao Yan recognized this young man at first sight as the man he saw when he left the pharmacy that day. Although Ma Yu had never seen this young man, he could tell from Yao Yan's expression. He stood up with Yao Yan, looking at each other.

"Didn't Li Ting tell you where he went?"

These words were a bit heartbreaking, Yao Yan secretly pulled Ma Yu, looking at the young man's eyes full of tears, Ma Yu was a little confused, he coughed and retreated to Yao Yan's side.

Holding the hot teapot in his arms, Yao Yan said while feeling the warmth, "He talks..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw shopkeeper Wang and his wife striding forward with livid faces behind the young man. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man turned his head with a pale face, and ran away when he saw that it was his sister and brother-in-law!

"Qing Lin!"

Mrs. Wang stomped her feet when she saw this, and pushed the shopkeeper Wang, "Hurry up and chase after me!"

Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand, followed by more than a dozen people and chased after him. Some of those people were familiar. Yao Yan knew that those people were members of the Wang family after looking carefully.

Mrs. Wang obviously looked for the young man for a long time. Even in winter, she was sweating profusely. After she finished her breath, she came to Yao Yan and Ma Yu and said with a smile, "My brother has been spoiled by his family since he was a child." , with a pure nature, he believes what others say, which is really a headache."

"If he says or asks something that shouldn't be said, I hope that you, shopkeeper Ma, will be more considerate. If you have anything to do, please go to the other side and let us know. Our husband and wife will be very grateful."

After finishing speaking, he gave them a slight salute, which can be said to be very polite. Ma Yu and Yao Yan looked at each other, and also very politely agreed, and sent them away.

"I remember Mrs. Wang's maiden name is Liu?"

Yao Yan mentioned it when he returned to the stove.

"It seems to be," Ma Yu didn't pay much attention to these.

"I just heard Mrs. Wang call that person Qinglin, that is Liu Qinglin, the name is good, and the person is also good." Thinking of Liu Qinglin's slightly despairing eyes, Yao Yan frowned slightly, "Li Ting left in the third year of junior high school, so I don't want to tell and don't."

"He doesn't dare to go to Liu Qinglin." Ma Yu rubbed his chin and looked at the street outside the shop. At this time, there were not many people, even if they walked hurriedly, they must have been frozen and wanted to go home as soon as possible to keep warm , "If someone finds out, it must not be a severe beating, but also a severed limb."

Li Ting is the only root of the second house of the Li family. Since he was a child, the Li family has always asked him not to fight with the naughty children in the village, otherwise he will not be able to explain to his parents when he goes underground.

When Li Ting was accepted as an apprentice by the old doctor Huang, the Li family was even more excited, and they bluntly asked him to be a master, to give the second room and their Li family a good reputation.

With such expectations piled up on his shoulders, Li Ting dared not gamble with his life.

But after thinking about it, how innocent is Liu Qinglin?

Thinking of this, Yao Yan and Ma Yu looked at each other, Ma Yu put his arms around his shoulders, put his head against the other's forehead, and said softly, "Trust me."

Yao Yan rubbed his head, "I believe it."

Since spring has not yet started, Yao Yan is not in a hurry to launch his own food stall, but he has also started to prepare, while Ma Yu is already busy, because many people's farm tools need to be repaired in the face of spring plowing.

As soon as Ma Yu was busy, Yao Yan made the snacks he was going to sell one by one for him to taste. Ma Yu was full of praise after eating.

Seeing that it was spring, the magnolia tree in the backyard also sprouted buds, everything revived, and the village and town began to get busy. There was a small stall in the blacksmith shop. The stall owner was the famous gangster Yao Sanlang a year ago.

Speaking of Yao Sanlang, he suddenly started to be a new person a year ago. Not only did he have a job in Buzhuang, but he also had a very good attitude towards others. business.

Some people bought it as a joke, because they didn't want the taste to be out of order, so they became famous immediately.

"Yao Sanlang's craftsmanship is amazing, and I don't know who he learned from," the man eating stinky tofu praised while eating.

"I wanted to vomit when I first smelled it, but after I tasted it, it was indeed as good as others said, full of fragrance," a man next to him sighed when he remembered the first time he bought stinky tofu.

"Speaking of which, Yao Sanlang's mind is different from that of ordinary people." The man who finished eating stinky tofu wiped his mouth and looked at the people on the table, "If you talk about food, who wants to make the taste as fragrant as possible? This Yao Sanlang is doing the opposite."

"On the day when the stall was first set up, there was a stench in the stall, and everyone else took a detour. He also held up the stinky tofu and ate deliciously. He just left a big impression on people. The reputation behind him doesn't need to be publicized at all. Let's take a look. It became famous."

Not only these people are talking about Yao Yan's cleverness, but even the treasurer Wang of the opposite door cloth village admires Yao Yan's methods very much. He is also eating stinky tofu at this time. He stared helplessly at the stinky tofu in Wang's hand.

"Shopkeeper, if you don't eat it, it will get cold and taste bad."

If you want to say what is the most popular spring in this town, it is definitely a bunch of stinky tofu!

There are also rich and noble families who think it is indecent, but they send servants to buy and eat a lot in private.

"What do you know?" Shopkeeper Wang snorted softly, "I just smell like Liuliu. This Sanlang's stall is just across the street, and it smells so bad in my cloth shop. I can't even smell it. Buy a bunch of it." What's wrong with trying it?"

"Yes, yes, you are right," Xiaoding knew that he couldn't say anything about shopkeeper Wang, so he simply stopped talking, turned around and prepared to go to work, but shopkeeper Wang stopped him again, "Go buy some fried meat skewers, don't want spicy food, I Take it back to Qinglin."

After Liu Qinglin was locked up for "education" by the Liu family and the Wang family respectively, she was much quieter and not as active as before, but it was better than thinking about running out to find Li Ting.

When Xiao Ding came over, Yao Yan was sitting on the side drinking water and resting. Ma Yu, who was idle now, came to the battle. Seeing Xiao Ding, Ma Yu said, "Still stinky tofu?"

Xiao Ding swallowed, thinking that he bought it for Shopkeeper Wang, and immediately shook his head, "Six meat skewers, no spicy peppers, I bought it for Shopkeeper Wang's brother-in-law."

"I'll give you a bunch," Yao Yan said, and Ma Yu directly chose a bunch and put them in a small oil pan.

Xiao Ding's eyes sparkled, "Thank you Brother Yao! And Brother Ma!"

Quite discerning, Ma Yu smiled, and then a few half-grown children came and asked for some meat skewers and stinky tofu. Ma Yu threw the copper plate into the iron box next to him, and looked at Xiao Ding. Envious.

He came to sit next to Yao Yan, "Brother Yao, your business seems to be better than Brother Ma's. I can't tell you that you can build a big house."

"By your auspicious words," Yao Yan said with a smile, "By the way, I will bring Xiaoshanzi two strings of stinky tofu later. Xiaoshanzi is also very busy now. I heard that his master intends to marry his youngest daughter to him. Work hard."

Thinking of Xiao Shanzi's red face full of hope, Yao Yan was sincerely happy for him, and Xiao Ding also smiled, "That kid is blessed, and the master is not a cruel person. If there is hope in this day, it will be very good." Dry?"

"The meat skewers and stinky tofu are ready," Ma Yu didn't like him being so close to Yao Yan, and when the things were ready, he couldn't wait to put them into oily paper bags, and urged Xiao Ding to deliver them to Liu Qinglin and Xiao Shanzi.

After Xiao Ding left, Ma Yu packed the children's things and watched them walk away before coming to Yao Yan's side to look at him.

"Is there a flower on my face?"

Yao Yan was amused by him.

"Yes," Ma Yu replied very seriously, "not only flowers, but also everything I like."

"Bah," Yao Yan rolled his eyes, "Who did you learn the coquettish language from?"

"I'm self-taught," Ma Yu's cheeky face successfully made Yao Yan laugh.

It's not that no one is jealous of Yao Yan's business, but Ma Yu is tall and burly standing beside Yao Yan, just like a guard, and he can't beat him.

Furthermore, deep-frying is simple, but the seasoning can’t be imitated overnight. Some cheeky people came to ask for the recipe. After being frightened by Yao Yan’s price of 1000 taels, they stopped coming. Outsiders all rumored that Yao Yan’s recipe was set. It is a rare secret recipe.

It was passed on to the county town.

No, on March [-]rd, a carriage that looked very gorgeous stopped at the door of the blacksmith shop.

The servant respectfully helped the owner of the carriage out of the carriage. This was a thin middle-aged man. He looked at the blacksmith shop with his hands behind his back. Yao Yan and Ma Yu were both in the backyard. They had just returned from the village and brought a lot of They are eating, and they are being distributed, when someone calls them.

Ma Yu poked his head out to see, good guy, there are people around the door of the shop, among them the carriage is the most conspicuous, the one calling him is the shopkeeper next door, Ma Yu wiped his hands, and went out with a smile, "I am the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop, May I ask you are?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, looked at Yao Yan's small stall, "I came here for this secret recipe."

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately took a deep breath. Originally, they only guessed that Yao Sanlang's prescription was powerful, but they didn't want someone to come to ask for it.

That's 1000 taels!

When Yao Yan came out, the onlookers had already left with interest. At this time, Ma Yu was frying stinky tofu and meat skewers, and the middle-aged man was sitting aside and waiting.

Seeing him coming out, the middle-aged man got up and smiled, "I am the housekeeper of Yuanwai Wu in the county seat. I came here this time because I heard that you have a secret recipe worth 1000 taels. My family sent me to taste it if it is worth it."

Yao Yan raised his eyebrows. The reason he asked for such a high price was firstly to stop those dubious people from having bad thoughts, and secondly, he had the idea of ​​fishing.

"It's easy to say," Yao Yan's neither humble nor overbearing attitude made Butler Wu lower his eyes.

After frying the stuff, Ma Yu put it on a wooden plate and brought it to Butler Wu. Speaking of this member Wu, even Yao Yan had heard a lot about the other party's financial resources and deeds, so he had to do this door-to-door business.

Wu Yuanwai loves food, and the restaurant below has opened in Qiancheng, such a wealthy Yuanwai will live in a small county town, and there are many discussions outside, but there is no reason.

Because Wu Yuanwai was only [-] years old, but he was not yet married. Many people sent beauties, Wu Yuanwai drove out one after another, and some people sent beautiful young people, who were also scolded bloody. If you ask for something, you will not deliver it to your door yourself.

Even if it is delivered to the door, Wu Yuanwai will let Butler Wu taste it before deciding whether to buy it, but Butler Wu's tongue is amazing.

Butler Wu looked at the stinky thing silently, and he put down his chopsticks after a long time. After eating it, he paused, ate a few more pieces, and then another skewer. After eating, Butler Wu took out Pazi wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "I can only taste ten flavors of this seasoning, can I ask the shopkeeper, how many flavors does this seasoning have?"

"38 flavors," Yao Yan said without reservation, "Butler Wu thinks my seasoning is worth 1000 taels?"

For the rich and powerful Wu family, they naturally didn't care about the 1000 taels. Butler Wu smiled and asked the servants to fetch the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the carriage, as well as the 1000 taels of silver notes. Yao Yan and Ma Yu looked at each other.

Seeing this, Butler Wu waved to the boy again, who bowed slightly and got into the carriage again. When he came over, the 1000 taels of silver bills turned into ten 100 taels of silver bills.

Yao Yan couldn't help but admire Butler Wu's ability to handle affairs, and the two successfully signed a business contract.

"My small stall will no longer sell these 38 flavored foods," Yao Yan said.

Butler Wu smiled, "It doesn't have to be that way, my family members don't care about it, as long as the shopkeeper only guards this small stall, and doesn't sell this recipe to others."

Yao Yan was taken aback, and Ma Yu smiled after recalling, "Wu Yuanwai is really generous, then we will thank Wu Yuanwai."

After Steward Wu left, shopkeeper Wang and the next door shopkeeper ran over.

"Is it sold?"

That's 1000 taels!

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes were red.

Yao Yan and Ma Yu shook their heads calmly.

"Butler Wu's tongue is notoriously good. My seasoning is nothing to him."

Shopkeeper Wang and the shopkeeper next door also felt that it made sense.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper next door ordered ten skewers of stinky tofu, and shopkeeper Wang ordered eight skewers.

In the afternoon, the small stall opened normally, and Yao Yan and Ma Yu looked very normal. When outsiders learned from shopkeeper Wang that Fangzi had not been sold, some were happy, some sighed, and some praised.

What amazed me was that Steward Wu's tongue really wasn't covered. It can be said that Yao Yan made another well-known advertisement for Butler Wu's tongue.

After closing the shop at night, Yao Yan and Ma Yu sat face to face on the bed, looking at the ten banknotes in the middle.

Ma Yu gave Yao Yan a thumbs up, "Excellent."

With just one seasoning, he earned 1000 taels of silver.

"Like a second," Yao Yan smiled and collected the bank notes, "Let's continue to set up the small stall. The 1000 taels will be saved for 900 taels, and the 100 taels will be rebuilt. But for the house building, we have to get rid of my father and my father." Dad, they watched."

Ma Yu had no objection. Before going to bed, Ma Yu whispered next to Yao Yan's head, "Do you think I'm incompetent?"

"Who said you're useless?"

Yao Yan hugged his big head, "I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can match your ability, but we can't expose it now, so as not to cause disaster, and I will have to rely on you in the future."

Ma Yu rubbed against Yao Yan, "Then if I can't make a move for the rest of my life, you can't support me for the rest of my life?"

"Why," Yao Yan laughed lowly, "do you still want me to raise someone else?"

"...Good idea!" Ma Yu rushed over viciously.

In the days that followed, not only Yao Yan found out, but even others found that Ma Yu was working harder.

Taking the time to go back home, Yao Yan and Ma Yu took out the 100 taels of silver notes to Wen Tiejiang and Uncle Ma, and explained the money they got from the seasoning, which shocked Wen Tiejiang and Uncle Ma.

After they calmed down, they took the banknotes and the drawing of a courtyard-like house drawn by Yao Yan, expressing that they would definitely do a good job in building the house.

The existing house foundation is a bit narrow, so we have to buy a larger foundation and build the house slowly. There is a good piece of land on the right side of the old house. Blacksmith Wen and Uncle Ma are going to ask the village chief to help buy it.

Before leaving, the two pulled Ma Yu aside.

"You have to treat Saburo well." Uncle Ma looked at him with a sad face. His son was actually being raised by another son. Seeing the tall and burly man, it was really...

"Be more tolerant of him on weekdays, don't bully him, such a good Saburo, there is no one who misses him." Tiejiang Wen's words are even more heart-rending.

On the way back to the town, Ma Yu's brows never loosened.

Yao Yan looked puzzled.

After arriving at the shop, Ma Yu said, "I remember my father said that the noble master is from Mocheng, his surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Chenggui."

"Ding! The host, please help Ma Yu to expose Zhang Chenggui's murder of his wife. Reward points: [-]."

The system that hadn't shown up for a long time suddenly appeared.

Yao Yan raised his hand and patted his head, and said in Ma Yu's puzzled eyes, "First of all, we have to find out what Zhang Chenggui's status and interpersonal relationship are in Mocheng now, and secondly, we have to know who his opponents are. You don't have to do it yourself... yeah!"

His eyes lit up, and he grabbed Ma Yu's arm, "If we don't make a move, someone can."

Three days later, Yao Yan and Ma Yu arrived at Yuanwai's house in the county seat.

Wu Yuanwai's mansion is very grand, but the guard at the gate is not the kind to bully others. As soon as they arrived in the county, Yao Yan and Ma Yu saw many people holding stinky tofu. After asking, they learned that Wu Yuanwai opened I opened a snack restaurant, in addition to the secret recipe from Yao Yan, there are other secret recipes for snacks.

The snack building has three floors, and there are twenty single-door shops on the first floor. This reminds Yao Yan of shops in the real world. This Wu Yuanwai is indeed not simple-minded.

I was led by the servant to wait at the side door, and after a quarter of an hour, Butler Wu came, "Little shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you have something important to do?"

Speak directly and don't waste time.

Yao Yan took out a list and handed it over, "I have twelve medicinal recipes, and I don't need money, I just ask Wu Yuanwai to help one person get what he deserves."

Butler Wu took the prescription and checked it, then smiled, "I will give the little shopkeeper the answer in a day."

Yao Yan was not afraid that Butler Wu's words would not count.

After coming out of Wu's house, Yao Yan and Ma Yu went to the snack bar to eat a round belly.

On the afternoon of the second day, someone from the Wu family invited them to visit.

They didn't tell the Wu family which inn they were staying in, but the other party could easily find them, which made Yao Yan feel at ease again.

After arriving at Wu's house, Butler Wu said that this business can be done, and asked Yao Yan to explain in detail where, who, and what was going on. In the end, he gave a half-month deadline. If the matter failed in half a month, they would not occupy this prescription, and would return it to him. Yao Yan and the others.

"Can it really be done?"

On the way back, Ma Yu didn't understand Wu Yuanwai's way, "We haven't seen Wu Yuanwai yet."

"I have seen."

Yao Yan poked his arm, and said in the surprised eyes of the other party, "Do you remember the man next to Butler Wu today?"

Ma Yu thought for a while. After they entered, Butler Wu did bring a person in, but Butler Wu was sitting all the time, and the man was standing behind Butler Wu, with an ordinary face, the kind that he would forget when he saw him.

"Butler Wu never used that person from the beginning to the end. When he took the pen and paper, he was the boy guarding the door, and the one who brought the tea and water was the servant girl, but the person behind him stood there from the beginning to the end. When we finally left, he was also there. Only Steward Wu sent us out, and when I turned around, that man was sitting in Steward Wu's position, holding the contract we signed and looking at it."

"After thinking about it again and again, I think that person should be Yuanwai Wu."

In fact, it was after asking the system that Yao Yan really confirmed the identity of the other party.

But it is also very fun to pretend to be aggressive in front of your lover.

Seeing Ma Yu's admiring expression, Yao Yan was very happy.

When he returned to the shop, Ma Yuan waited on Yao Yan, even washing his feet. Seeing this, Yao Yan touched his waist vigilantly, "You promised me that you would not touch me for three days."

"What are you thinking?" Ma Yu was a little amused, he stretched out his hand and touched Yao Yan's little face, "I was just thinking, it was originally our previous grievances, but it was still up to you to solve it, there is not much I can do , do more to make you feel comfortable."

Only then did Yao Yan heave a sigh of relief, and then seriously replied, "We are one, besides, after solving Zhang Chenggui, Dad's heart disease will be healed, and you can take over the job to support me, right?"

Ma Yu really wants to raise Yao Yan, but now he is still being raised, and it's useless to speak out, so he can only keep honing his skills in private, thinking that he can earn more money for Yao Yan after taking over the job .

Liu Qinglin came again.

But this time, he was followed by two tall servants, and he knew it was specially arranged.

"I want this, and this."

After he finished picking things, he stood aside and waited. Yao Yan fried the skewers, and he watched without saying a word.

Seeing that his complexion has improved a lot, Yao Yan glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, who was stalking over here, and said with a smile, "The Lantern Festival is coming, is Mr. Liu's lantern ready?"

Speaking of the Lantern Festival, Liu Qinglin smiled, "I want to make a fox lantern, and I've already started preparations. Where's shopkeeper Yao? What kind of lantern are you going to make?"

"Me," Yao Yan looked back at Ma Yu who was blacksmithing, "I make lanterns."

Hearing this, Ma Yu raised his eyes and looked at Yao Yan meaningfully, Yao Yan turned his head hastily.

"Lantern?" Liu Qinglin thought about the appearance of the lanterns he had seen in the past, and nodded, "That's not bad either. On the Lantern Festival, will shopkeeper Yao set up a stall?"

"Yes," Yao Yan nodded. There was a lot of traffic that day, and it would be unreasonable not to set up a stall. "But it will only be set up for an hour. Isn't there a lantern riddle? Brother Ma and I will also join in the fun."

"Then I'll come earlier then," Liu Qinglin pointed at the meat skewers, "I love meat, please leave shopkeeper Yao with ten skewers for me."

"Good."

After Liu Qinglin left, shopkeeper Wang came over slowly, "Sanlang, here are two skewers of stinky tofu."

"Hey, shopkeeper Wang looks good today."

Yao Yan smiled while holding the stinky tofu.
