after rebirth

On the way to the frontier market, there is an ordinary caravan. They sell tea, cloth, pottery and other good things in the Central Plains to the major markets. The leader of the caravan also brought a box of pearls, jade and gold ornaments, generous and elegant. The unique design and pure gold materials are most loved by the grassland people.The caravan looks very ordinary, and it is unremarkable walking on this road. There are not to mention hundreds of such caravans on the Northwest Commercial Road, but they are very unusual for everyone in the caravan. Shang, their owners are here together, how exciting it is, the leader of the caravan, Lao Qi, walks happily with wind.

The owner's family has a big business, and they will take their caravan for this trip. You must know that there are not many caravans like them in the hands of the owner. Everyone in the caravan feels extremely lucky.

"Brother Zhao, Qixia Town is just ahead, which is half an hour's journey. We will rest there tonight. There is nothing else in Qixia Town. The pure-tasting mutton pancakes are a must, and the mutton soup tastes great. , I will keep you eating a few big bowls, hey, the old man is getting old, and he says some irrelevant things, don’t be surprised, brother!” Lao Qi is over 50 years old, and he has spent his whole life in business , he travels to the Northwest Commercial Road more than ten times a year, and his two sons have already gone to business independently. The seventh son should have a good rest, but he is reluctant to take this road. This time is his last business trip. What a great thing, the boss actually wanted to travel all the way to Huzhou with his caravan, Lao Qi was so happy that he ate two extra bowls of rice.

"It's all right, didn't my boss tell me, if there is anything interesting and delicious along the way, you can just say it, you are an old river and lake on this road, who doesn't call you the seventh master, with you always sitting in the town, we are here Absolutely walked beautifully." Two years later, Zhao Yiping's face became much tougher, because from the dark to the bright, the whole person was full of flamboyance, he and Hao Yi were married, and Hao Yi was pregnant and didn't come with him, otherwise Hao Yi wants to go back to his hometown to have a look.In the Heart of the Grassland, with the cooperation of Hao Ren and the support of Zhao Hengxu, Jing Hao has regained the position of patriarch. Although he regained the position of patriarch, the person who seized the position before that has actually competed with other countries outside the Great Wall. Business involves a lot, and if it is more serious, it will even threaten the security of Daqi's frontier.

The position of the Jing family in it is too delicate. The existence of the heart of the grassland is no longer a secret, threatening the family members at all times. Jing Hao still had his own thoughts at the beginning, but in the face of the current predicament, he can only completely pour himself into Zhao Hengxu. side.

"Haha, I don't dare to be a master. Those are the names of big men, and friends on the road just like them. Brother Zhao, don't take it seriously. Haha, if you want to say that I am used to walking on the Northwest Commercial Road, where is there?" It’s delicious, don’t bother me, brother, don’t worry, I’ll definitely make good arrangements for the owner. Brother Zhao, you’ll be in Huzhou in two days’ walk, where you’ll get the customs certificate and go to the Yushan Mutual Market outside Yushan Pass. It can be over, I don't know what the boss's arrangement is." Lao Qi looks rough on the outside, but in fact he has a delicate mind. If you are dissatisfied, you will kill your own glory in the cradle, and may even endanger your life and the future of your sons. To offer a big Buddha, you must be cautious and considerate.Lao Qi's eyes moved a little, and he said: "I heard that Huzhou Mutual Market is going to be closed. The grasslands are very noisy, especially in the past five years. Robbery and other things have become commonplace, and murder and arson are also frequent occurrences. Prairie wolf Prairie wolf, that's not just for fun, they are born heroes on horseback, advocating force, killing people is like cutting watermelon, simply and neatly, tsk tsk, it's probably not peaceful!"

Zhao nodded, "That's right, so the owner is not only here to play, but also to visit various markets. The Northwest Caravan is the biggest business."

"Yeah." Lao Qi nodded, he just wanted to tell his boss that the grassland is not peaceful, don't just walk around just to see what's new, it's not worth throwing your life on the grassland.

"Uncle Seven, don't worry." Zhao Yi chuckled, he understood what Lao Qi was worried about.

After seeing off Lao Qi, Zhao Yi sat next to Mu Bao. Mu Bao no longer specializes in raising horses. He has learned first-hand driving skills. Difference.Mu Bao casually threw a kraft paper bag to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi said thank you and opened the bag, the sesame oil balls looked delicious.Zhao Yi couldn't help but ate a bite, and after swallowing, he turned around and said to the car respectfully: "Master, Lao Qi said that he can reach Qixia Town in half an hour, and Huzhou can be reached in two days' walk."

After a while, a voice came from inside the carriage, "Understood."

After Zhao Hengxu finished speaking, he yawned, and was exhausted from sitting in the carriage, "Jinrong, let's ride a horse, our bones will become stiff after sitting for a long time."

"Okay." Du Jinrong basically would not refuse what Zhao Hengxu said.There are only two of them now, and it is not easy to distribute the three children. It is still Zhao Ningzhang who has the demeanor of the eldest brother. He gave up the two fathers to the two younger brothers, and let Zhao Yi take the horse to ride. They are already eight years old, and it is not difficult to ride alone. , It's just that it's not so convenient to go out, and it's impossible to bring their horses out.

This ordinary caravan was actually not ordinary at all. The ones traveling all the way were the most distinguished family in Daqi, with an extraordinary status. After two years of preparation, Zhao Hengxu finally embarked on the road to the frontier.As the hot summer approached, Zhao Hengxu decided to go to the palace to escape the summer heat. He said they were going to the palace, but in fact they were actually going to Huzhou, and Zhao Hengze who stayed in the palace would serve as a cover for his elder brother. There were brothers and sisters in the capital. It is not difficult for Du Hegan, Huang Shugong and others to disappear within a short period of time.

In Qixia Town, there are shops selling all kinds of mutton pancakes, but not all pancakes are delicious. The one introduced by Lao Qi is in a remote alley, which doesn’t look like a place with gourmet food. But Lao Qi said that the mutton pancakes made by this family are the most delicious, and the mutton soup is so delicious that people want to swallow their tongues.The door of the store looks small, but when you enter inside, you will find that it is spacious, tidy, and clean. Although it is not elegant, it is also hearty and atmospheric, especially the smell of delicious broth floating in the air, which makes people salivate. .

"Father, it smells so good." Holding Du Jinrong's neck, Zhao Ningxin twitched his beautiful nose and said cutely. He looked around with smart eyes and saw many other adults looking at him, a little shy. Hiding his cheeks, he usually doesn't let people see him.

"Well, it's very fragrant." Du Jinrong patted the child's back and said with a smile.

The group of people is the focus no matter where they go, not to mention appearance, but temperament, which is not something ordinary people can have, because when they go out, they all put on ordinary clothes, which are not exquisite and expensive, but their temperament, It is estimated that putting on a coarse cloth will not make people mistaken for ordinary people.

"Everyone, please be objective. The small shop has excellent mutton pancakes and mutton soup. Customers who come to this small shop will order and taste them. Do you want to order them objectively? In addition to mutton pancakes and mutton soup, the small shop also has Lo mein, white-cut mutton, lamb ribs, lamb scorpion, what do you want objectively?" Xiao Er led a group of people inside neatly, and merged three tables with his companions, and the three small tables side by side seemed too big. No, there are no high tables and stools in the store, and the small tables only reach people's knees.

"Come and serve the best ones, Zhao Yi, you can open a table alone." Zhao Hengxu took Zhao Ningxin from Du Jinrong's arms, and he has been relying on Jin Rong all the way. Put it on the stool after the middle and let him do it. The height of the low table is still a bit high for the child, so he put the child on his lap again.

"Yes." Zhao Yi greeted Lao Qi who was leading the way and others to sit down.

The dishes came out quickly. The outer skin of the mutton pancakes was a little browned. It looked very ordinary and ordinary, but the meat inside was delicious, and the gravy had penetrated into the pancakes, leaving a mouthful of fragrance after a bite.The mutton soup is really only milky white broth, not even a trace of meat foam can be seen, the soup is pure, without any debris, it tastes a bit thick, but not greasy, especially when eating pancakes and drinking soup, the taste is even better. There is also a kind of pancake without fillings inside, which is full and delicious after being torn up and soaked in the soup. Lao Qi always eats two or three mutton pancakes and a large bowl of broth soaked pancakes every time he comes. It's just that this time with the clubs, the movements are much more restrained.

Zhao Hengxu and the others also praised the taste of the food, but the tongues that have been tricked by the imperial cuisine still feel that the meat is not good enough. At least these delicacies are suitable for local tastes, but not enough for them to completely like them. It has its own characteristics, but it is not impossible being replaced.They were eating, but they heard the two men leading the table talking, Zhao Hengxu and Du Jinrong looked at each other, the grassland was really changing.

"Brother, you don't know that if I hadn't brought people to hide in the haystack, the Huns would have slaughtered me." One of the flushed men said, and he didn't know whether he had drunk or was born with a red face. His burly body trembled, obviously thinking of something terrible.

"No, there are hundreds if not thousands of Xiongnu you met. Usually, so many people would not come near the exchange market." Solid, big muscles.

"Hey." The red-faced man smiled sheepishly, "Isn't he chasing a good horse, and it will cost a lot of money if he sells it."

"Hey, I don't want any money."

"Hehe, let's not talk about this, alas..." The red-faced man sighed, "If we hadn't hid quickly, this life would have been lost on the grassland. It's hard to say whether to feed the wolf or the jackal. Tsk tsk, the killing is over Afterwards we had the courage to go and have a look. The one who was killed was Taichiwubu on the grassland. All the men with high wheels were killed, the women were snatched away, and the children were left to fend for themselves. Not to mention, they are worthy of being prairie wolves. Seven or eight-year-old cubs raised knives at us covered in blood. Grandma, I will never forget the fierceness in those children’s eyes. I will stop doing business after this business. The money I have saved for so many years is enough I can support my wife and children. The grasslands are not peaceful!"
