Chapter 116 Good man
Chapter 116: Good guy
The south of the city is the area where middle-level officials live. Most of the officials live here are not high or low. The superiors rarely come to visit, and ordinary people cannot enter and exit at will. Therefore, this area of Fang District is the quietest place in the entire Chang'an City. It is not as crowded as the Fang District where high officials live, nor is it as noisy as the Fang District where civilian merchants live. Except for the people who go out to buy goods or do something, only one or two colleagues will occasionally come to visit, so most of the Fang Street is deserted.
Just after noon that day, a very ordinary ox cart was parked in front of an inconspicuous courtyard in Guangfufang. Not far away, a black-haired native dog sniffing here was startled by the stopped ox cart. He hid in the corner with his tail and stuck his head out to see. Seeing that the person who got out of the ox cart hurried into the yard, not to drive it, he stretched and shook his body to continue its food and clothing project.
The ox cart looks ordinary, but it is the kind with a shed. It is obviously not the grade that can be used in ordinary white bodies. After the people on the car got off, the ox cart drove in through the side door. Then with a squeak, the door of the yard closed, and the tranquility in the street returned to the tranquility. Only the black-haired native dog was patrolling the territory that temporarily belonged to it.
However, Ning Jing didn't last long. After a meal, the gate of the courtyard opened again. The person who had gotten out of the carriage came out again. This time he was carrying a package on his back, holding a very ordinary maroon horse, and there was a package hanging on the horse's back. It looked like he was going to travel far. The black-haired native dog was puzzled. Are you tired when he was in and out? If it could eat enough, he would find a place to snatch it, which would be a great thing. Obviously, this person was not here to come out to rush it, so this time it was a great thing.
Not afraid, he stood still from afar, watching the man walking out of Fang Street with his horse, and he disappeared as soon as he turned. The black-haired landlady dog stretched his neck and whined twice at the disappearing figure to defend his territory. Hearing the barking of the dog, a crack opened at the edge of the courtyard, poked his head out, and roared at the earthen dog: "Where did the beast come from? Howl!" Then a large piece of earthen dog was thrown over, and the black-haired landlady dog was thrown by the earthen dog, and ran away with its tail. The man looked back and forth, then shrank his head and went in, and Fang Street was completely calm.
It was very ordinary to ride in Chang'an, no one paid attention to it, nor to care about it. However, when this person rode out of Guangfufang, he did not find a window on the second floor of a small restaurant opposite the street. His eyes were watching him walk towards the city gate coldly. From this window, he could see clearly what happened on the entire street to the gate of the courtyard.
On the second day, I also came out of the Lin Mansion, to be precise, one person and two riders. If I met anyone, I would know that this was the Manager Li who often accompanied Lin Xiaoma. He was also in a long-distance outfit, and it was very urgent. Otherwise, he would not have brought two strong horses alone. At this time, the Tang Dynasty had destroyed the Eastern Turks, and the horse source was still relatively sufficient. However, it would be good if ordinary families went out to do business. However, it would be good if they could have one horse. Manager Li brought two, which made the managers of other families who passed by, and he could not help but look at him: "Man Li is going to go on an emergency?"
"That's right, my little husband forgot a very important item and forgot to bring it back to Chang'an. Isn't this a hurry? So the mission fell on someone."
"Haha, since it's an emergency, I'm afraid only a steady person like Manager Li can do it. I wish you a good trip and a good meal together."
"That's certain. I will definitely bring you some cans of top-quality chili sauce when I come back this time."
"Oh, that's great. Manager Li still remembers it. Last time I just said it casually. After so long, you still remember it. But to be honest, the top-grade chili sauce tastes really good. Once you open the lid, it's mellow and fragrant. The fragrance is simply unforgettable. I only ate it once last time. Don't mention it. I still remember it. My limbs and bones are so refreshing. Such a top-grade chili sauce must be difficult to make, otherwise why don't you sell it? I agreed that I would invite you to Furongyuan for a drink when I come back, and I won't be drunk."
The so-called top-grade chili sauce is just a finely ground pepper that Wang Kuang specially selected beautiful and ripe peppers to satisfy his appetite. The wine used is the best in Jian'an. The salt is also fine salt that is dissolved and filtered and then dried. Without the bitter taste, even the garlic is purple-skinned garlic, and it is also large. In addition, the juice squeezed from old ginger is added to the chili sauce, and the fermentation time is enough. Therefore, it is not a little better than the chili sauce that is usually sold. Since the ripening time of the peppers is different and it must be kept secret, the season is the pick of all the green and red, and then the pepper tree is burned. Therefore, I didn't choose any ordinary chili sauce. Basically, the green chili is mixed in and ground, and there is no
Grind it finely, and the garlic is also the white-skinned garlic, and the salt is just the sea salt. It tastes a bit bitter when tasted carefully. When it comes to fermenting, because it is all large pots, it is naturally not as dry as small pots, so it is impossible to ferment as well as the ones used for your own use. Both the fermented and the chili sauce that are not fermented have a sour taste. The difference is that the sourness of the chili sauce that is fermented makes people saliva flow when they smell it, but the sourness of the unfermented is not so attractive. Because there is not much pepper cultivation, Wang Kuang cannot choose all the good ones, so the top-grade chili sauce is not produced much. Basically, except for keeping it in the inn and eating it, the rest is all for the Lin family to give it to someone to make joints, and there is no can sold at all. So there is no such thing as selling.
However, it is precisely because ordinary chili sauce is not finely ground that one or two chili seeds remain, which makes those who are interested have a lucky mentality and think that they can grow chili from those chili seeds.
Manager Li greeted people he knew and led two horses along. Except for military personnel and royal children, others in the city were not allowed to ride horses, while civil servants were sitting in carriages or official sedan chairs. But when he left Yanxing Gate, Manager Li turned over the horse, clamped his legs, and the horse under his straddle ran. The empty horse behind him consciously followed behind, raising dust all the way, causing people entering and leaving the city to cover their noses and avoid them, cursing their mouths that they didn't know what they said. Manager Li could no longer care about so much, and rode his horse and shouted: "Occursed."
He took turns to change horses along the way. Except for sleeping, eating and resting for half an hour after dinner, Manager Li spent almost all the rest of his time on the horse. Before leaving, Wang Kuang had already explained carefully that he must not ride a horse after dinner, and had to rest for at least half an hour before getting on the horse. Wang Kuang knew in his heart that the bumpy horse was bumpy just after eating, which could easily cause stomach sagging. When he was in the driving school, he met a good coach. The coach kept a warning every day and said that he had to rest for half an hour before driving after dinner, otherwise he would easily have stomach sagging. He gave several living examples, and instilled in this way for more than two months every day. It was difficult for Wang Kuang to forget. Therefore, Wang Kuang later had a habit of driving. Even if time was rushing, he would have to rest for more than half an hour after the meal.
Wang Kuang's statement, if he was heard by Manager Li a few years ago, he would definitely only listen to it as a joke. Since ancient times, no one who has been on the horse after eating? Who has ever heard of abdominal pain caused by this? Especially in war, if those soldiers encounter insufficient time, they will even be able to eat on the horse's back. But what Wang Kuang said now forced him to be cautious. Wang Kuang brought too many surprises. It can be said that so far, I have never seen Wang Kuang being stumped by anything. Let's just talk about the bus with the country.
It took nearly a year for the Lin family to get online with the people in charge. Wang Erlang is so good. Less than a month after he came to Chang'an, he became brothers with the young masters. Sometimes he talked from a distance. Wang Erlang had already become the leader of several young masters. Almost what Wang Erlang said, the young masters would do it, without any discount. Think about it, the Lin family could even share the profits of business with several dukes' mansions. If this were the case before, who would dare to think about it? If you could drink the residue, you would have to thank the ancestral tomb for the smoke coming out of the blue tomb.
Therefore, along the way, Manager Li did not give Wang Kuang any discount, so he could rest for half an hour after dinner, which was a lot of time. Fortunately, he brought one more horse and rode two horses in rotation, which was faster than before, just one horse was taking one horse overnight.
After walking for six days, Manager Li saw a person walking slowly in front of him from afar. When he got closer, he saw that it was exactly what Huang Da described as the person. At this time, the man was lying on the horse's back and heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. When he turned around, Manager Li saw that the man pressed his belly with one hand and looked painful, staring at him vigilantly.
"What? Brothers aren't feeling uncomfortable?" Manager Li's face was pale when he saw this man. The beads of sweat were covered with his whole face. It was probably too painful. His whole face had been twisted. Manager Li was not worried that he would be recognized by that person. Apart from being with the young lady for many years, he did not participate in other things in the Lin family. In the entire Chang'an City, there were not many people who knew him.
"It's okay, maybe I just ate too much, so I'll take a break. Look at my brother's appearance, I must be in a hurry. I dare not miss your business, so I'll go there." The man saw that Manager Li was holding a horse behind him, and he didn't want people to know what he wanted to do. With the mentality of getting to know less, he answered with the mentality of not having to know less people and having less trouble, and with this kind of abdominal pain, he had encountered it before.
"It's really okay? Why don't you go to the town ahead and ask a doctor to come for you? There is only one official road to go here. The doctor can find you even if he comes. I'm really in a hurry, so I'll say goodbye!" Manager Li completely convinced Wang Kuang. Looking at the person's appearance, he probably encountered the so-called sagging. Because of Wang Kuang's previous explanation, everything was planned. Manager Li didn't want to provoke too much and aroused suspicion. He hugged Wang Kuang and rode his horse and ran away.
"Good man! Such a hurry, he actually wanted to help someone find a doctor." The man whispered. If Manager Li heard this, he would definitely laugh.
