Chapter 596 Xuzhou City
Seeing the duo fighting hard, Zhu Limingxiao was stunned, then turned around and left.
He could see that whether it was his father or that bitch, both sides had their hands full and never made a fatal move.
The two have been friends for more than ten years, and Zhu Liming thought it was best not to disturb them.
After returning home with the medicinal materials on her back, her younger sister Jiang Erya was sitting in the yard, looking longingly at the mountain path, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Brother~"
Seeing Zhu Liming's figure in the distance, Jiang Erya stood up suddenly, like a cheerful deer, and rushed towards Zhu Liming.
Zhu Liming held Jiang Erya in his arms and patted her shoulder: "You girl, we haven't seen each other for only half a day. My brother will make you grilled chicken wings tonight."
Zhu Limingxiao took out a pheasant from the basket with its wings and feet bound by straw ropes.
With Zhu Liming's ability, it is not difficult to hunt a pheasant.
"Yeah, brother, you're great. We have meat to eat again tonight." The little girl snatched the plump pheasant, her eyes shining: "Brother, let's eat pheasant stewed with wild vegetables tonight."
"I heard that the wealthy families in the city all eat braised chicken and rice, and all they eat is polished rice. They don't know what polished rice tastes like." The little girl muttered:
"It is said that polished rice is a good food that only rich men can eat. If I can eat one meal of polished rice in my life, even death will be worth it."
A little girl who had never eaten polished rice was beyond Zhu Liming's imagination.
Looking through my past memories, it seems that I really have no memory of polished rice. My father always bought sorghum rice or corn with chaff at the foot of the mountain.
As for polished rice, my little sister has never eaten it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just polished rice. My brother will take you to eat it tomorrow. Once we enter the city, we can make rice every day." Zhu Limingxiao touched the little girl's head.
"Really?" The little girl's face was full of excitement and surprise, her skull-like head was shaking, and her eyes seemed to be emitting green light.
"Of course." Zhu Liming smiled and stroked the little girl's head.
"But I heard people say that polished rice is very expensive and we can't afford it." The little girl said in despair while cutting off the chicken head to collect the blood with her hands and feet.
"Hahaha, we won't be short of money in the future. Of course I have a way to help you eat polished rice." Zhu Liming pinched the scattered chicken coop on the little girl's head.
The brother and sister worked together to prepare pheasant stew, and then waited until old Jiang, who had a bruised nose and face, returned, smelling the aroma of meat in the house, his eyes turned green.
"What a good boy, you are indeed an excellent scholar. I didn't expect that even the method of hunting is better than the old one." Old Man Jiang drank a bowl of chicken soup and praised Zhu Limingxiao.
Zhu Liming smiled and gnawed on the chicken leg, looking at Old Jiang with a bruised nose and swollen face, and secretly snickered in his heart.
After the family had dinner, Zhu Liming urged Jiang Erya to wash up, and then the three of them fell asleep.
Early morning of the second day
The brother and sister were washed and cleaned. Although their clothes were shabby, they were washed and dried. Their hair was carefully taken care of and groomed meticulously.
The poorer a person is, the more they have to pay attention to their image.
Just like now, the brother and sister were wearing clothes made entirely of patches and open-toed cloth shoes, slowly walking down the mountain.
"Brother, do you think there are many people in Xuzhou City?" The little girl tugged on Zhu Liming's sleeve, her eyes full of expectation.
"Not only are there many people, but there is also a lot of food." Zhu Liming said with a smile.
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "I have never entered Xuzhou City. The farthest way I have traveled is to borrow needlework from Aunt Li's house down the mountain."
The brother and sister went down the mountain. As they entered the official road, they met more and more people passing by. The little girl was chirping with curiosity on her face.
The tall horses and the old ox pulling the cart were looking at it with curiosity on their faces, and they ran over to look around.
Especially when I saw the BMW car with carvings on it, it pulled Zhu Liming's arm and kept shouting, causing people passing by to look back frequently.
"Brother, is that person wearing silk?" The little girl pointed at a member of the Communist Party of China who was riding on a horse and walking on the official road, and whispered in his ear.
"It's silk! The best silk in Hangzhou is the satin from the Chen family in Suzhou." Zhu Liming took one look and could already tell the origin of the silk.
The fat middle-aged man riding on the horse turned his head when he heard this and glanced at Zhu Liming in surprise. Looking at the tattered clothes on his body, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Little brother, you have good eyesight."
"Just like that." Zhu Limingxiao said with a smile.
"If you don't specialize in this business, it would be difficult to tell the origin of this silk satin at a glance. This little brother is very handsome, but he wants to enter the city?" The fat man simply dismounted and came to Zhu Liming with quick hands and feet.
"I'm entering the city to sell herbal medicine." Zhu Liming patted the basket behind him.
"Selling herbal medicine?" The fat man looked at Zhu Liming for a while, but couldn't figure out where he was coming from. Logically speaking, a poor boy would never have Zhu Liming's magnanimity and insight.
Fatty had only seen Zhu Liming's magnanimity in one person. But that person's magnanimity was far inferior to Zhu Liming's own.
"You want to sell herbal medicine, but I know a shop. Although it is not a big shop, the boss is a genuine and honest man. In the past, I bought medicines from him all the time when I traveled here and there. If you can trust me, why not
How about coming with me?" The fat man said with a smile.
"Excuse me, sir." Zhu Liming raised his hand and saluted.
Upon seeing this, the fat man hurriedly responded with a salute: "I'm from the Yuwen family in Yuwengu. I've met my little brother."
"Yuwen Valley? Could it be the Yuwen family? The Yuwen family in Yuwen Chengdu?" Zhu Liming said in surprise.
"Hahaha, Yuwen Chengdu is my cousin." Yuwen Gu smiled proudly after hearing this: "Although this cousin is a bit far away, my cousin and I have always had a good relationship. I purchase all the medicines used by my cousin in the army.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuwen Gu said proudly.
Zhu Liming looked at the fat man in front of him and sneered secretly. This fat man was definitely bragging and pulling off tiger skin.
It’s not like he didn’t know the relationship between the Yuwen family and the Li family. If he wanted to buy medicine for the Yuwen family, how dare he say it so blatantly?
It would be reliable to say that he is a distant relative of the Yuwen family, and that he is a relative who can only be beaten with eight poles.
However, what kind of person Zhu Liming is, naturally he will not expose him. Instead, he clasped his hands and said with admiration on his face: "It turns out that he is the cousin of Governor Yuwen. I'm disrespectful! I'm disrespectful!"
"I wonder where my brother is from?" Yuwen Gu said to Zhu Liming.
"My brother and sister are just hunters in the mountains, preparing to study at Wende College." Zhu Liming replied.
"Going to study at Wende College?" Yu Wengu was stunned and slapped his thigh: "Wow! I am also a student at Wende College. We are really destined."
Looking at Yuwen Gu, who was nearly thirty years old, Zhu Limingxiao's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Brother, at your age, do you still want to go to school?"
"If you have ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain. My cousin Yu Wenhuaji is recruiting talents. I am about to go to the academy to study, and then go to work under my cousin." At this point, Yuwen Gu faced Zhu Limingxiao.
He said: "Little brother, we hit it off as soon as we met. When the time comes, just follow me and I will take care of your success as an official."
Zhu Liming agreed calmly: "Thank you very much, brother."
But he was thinking secretly in his heart: "Now the general trend of the world is coming. All the talents have seen the general trend of the world, and they have all rushed to the Li clan. Yu Wenhua and his counselors and talents have all fled, and there is a shortage of manpower."
He is extremely intelligent, but he has already deduced countless possibilities through just a few words.
There was a hint of wisdom in Zhu Mingxiao's eyes. He chatted and laughed with the fat man and entered the city. He turned east and west and came to a medicine shop near the river.
The drug store is very large, a two-story building.
The fat man puffed out his belly and shouted arrogantly: "Shopkeeper, we are here to take care of your business again."
"Oh, it turns out it's Uncle Yuwen who's here. What medicine do you want to buy this time?" An old man in his sixties with white hair and beard walked down the stairs quickly and came to Yuwen Gu with a smile on his face.
.
"The uncle doesn't buy medicine, it's my little brother who wants to sell medicine." Yu Wengu pointed at Zhu Liming, and then said to Zhu Liming as if he suddenly understood: "Brother, what medicine do you want to sell?"
He even forgot to ask Zhu Liming what medicinal materials he was selling. He just looked at what Zhu Liming was wearing. The brother and sister's tattered clothes didn't look like someone who could dig up good medicinal materials.
Zhu Liming smiled and handed the basket over: "Shopkeeper, please estimate the price."
Zhu Liming looked at the shopkeeper with a kind face and a kind face. He was indeed a kind-hearted person.
The shopkeeper looked at the two brothers and sisters, took the medicine basket casually, and handed it to the clerk beside him: "Li San, please estimate the price. This time I will test your eyesight."
It was obvious that the shopkeeper wanted to give Yuwen Gu face, and Zhu Liming and his sister did not seem to be masters of good medicinal materials in his mind.
The waiter in his twenties walked out from behind the counter and quickly took the medicine basket. After opening it, his breath was stagnant and he was stunned.
"Li San, what's the price? If it's of good quality, I'll add another 30% to this little brother." The shopkeeper drank tea and turned around to ask.
"Master, you... you... you... take a look for yourself." Li San quickly handed over the medicine basket in his hand: "Disciple does not dare to make random prices."
"Oh?" The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, stretched out his hand to take the medicine basket, and then opened it. Then he was stunned there, as if his whole body was struck by lightning. He couldn't help but stand up, raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhu with a pair of eyes.
dawn.
Spiritual essence!
In this world, it is definitely a rare thing, a rare treasure of genius.
