Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 90: Don't Be Modest to Your Father-in-Law

"Okay." Shen Ang took the money and put it into his sheepskin backpack.

After dinner, Shen Zhao helped his mother clean up the kitchen, took the cooked sheep's head out of the pot and put it into a wooden basin.

As for the ten sheep bodies, she had already put them on the shelves in the shop and bought them by the brother who made the complaint.

Zhang Shanyue said softly, "Several people came to our house today to ask if we would buy sheep. I guess they thought we were starting a mutton business."

"Not for the time being." Shen Zhao picked up a steaming sheep's head with chopsticks: "Foreign merchants don't sell mutton."

In fact, I didn't want to turn the shop into a mutton shop, so I rejected the complaining brother's request to buy again.

Zhang Shanyue: "Then I will reject them tomorrow."

Shen Zhao nodded, put the cooked mutton soup into the jar, and then carried the wooden basin containing the sheep's head back to the house.

Afterwards, she put five fragrant sheep heads and a can of mutton soup on the shelf in the shop, marked the price at one penny, and then quickly bought them and gave them to her eldest brother.

At noon she learned that her elder brother had returned to Wulei City and received his new address.

So she sent over the cooked sheep's head and sheep soup, as well as some steamed buns.

Nowadays, my mother would steam a lot of steamed buns every day and put them all in baskets in her room so that she could pass them to my eldest brother.

At this moment, Shen Xun was talking to Chen Wuhou in the cowhide tent. Suddenly, he saw a wooden basin and a jar appear, and he rushed over to catch them.

Then a basket of steamed buns appeared next to him, which shocked Chen Wuhou.

"The community god has appeared!" Chen Wuhou was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud, but he held it back.

He glanced at Shen Xun and asked, "I didn't see you write a letter? Why did you suddenly give me something?"

Shen Xun said nothing. He took a piece of mutton from the cooked sheep's head and put it into his mouth.

Although I have eaten horse meat these days, it is hard to cook. How can it compare with the mutton cooked at home with all kinds of seasonings?

"Hey! You kid don't even know how to be humble to your father-in-law!" Chen Wuhou was very dissatisfied and grabbed a sheep's head and started to eat it.

While chewing, he muttered: "When we are full, we will share some of the buns with the brothers."

Shen Xun hummed, took out two ceramic bowls from his backpack, wiped them casually with the hem of his clothes, and scooped out two bowls of hot and spicy mutton soup from the jar, one for himself and one for Chen Wuhou.

The two of them drank the soup and gnawed on the sheep's head, their mouths full of oil.

At this time, the two guards guarding outside the tent smelled something, looked at each other, lifted the curtain and came in, and clasped their fists to Chen Wuhou: "Reporting to Wuhou, I only had a bowl of porridge tonight, and I am starving now."

Chen Wuhou laughed and scolded: "You are just too sharp-nosed! Here, take this basket of steamed buns and sheep's head and divide them up. Remember not to let other camps see them!"

"Yes!" The two guards laughed immediately, picked out ten steamed buns and placed them in front of Shen Xun, and then carried the steamed bun basket out.

After a while, ten guards crowded into the tent, each holding two steamed buns in their hands. Then they sat cross-legged around the pot of mutton soup and shared the remaining three sheep heads and the mutton soup.

A guard whispered, "Wu Hou, the people from the Bing camp secretly killed a horse and said that General Zuo ordered it to be killed. I don't know if it's true or not."

Chen Wuhou paused, then said, "Why do you care whether it's true or not? Keep an eye on our horses tonight, and assign a few more people to take turns guarding at night. If anyone dares to steal horses from our camp, we will kill them immediately!"

"Yes!" The guard immediately stood up and clasped his fists.

After eating and drinking, the guards went out to deploy their troops, and Chen Wuhou fell asleep wrapped in a quilt.

Shen Xun used a flashlight to write a reply letter to his sister, and tied a keychain to the copper cauldron that Chen Wuhou had taken from General Li Mao.

As long as the key chain is called back tomorrow morning, the copper cauldron will also return to my sister's hands.

Sure enough, when Shen Zhao recalled a key chain at eight o'clock the next day, he saw a three-legged copper cauldron with a lid.

The copper cauldron was very delicate, with animal handles around the lid to lock it, a bit like the pressure cooker in the bronze mirror mall. Shen Zhao immediately asked Xiaoqing to evaluate it, and gave a high price of two million, saying that the inscriptions around the copper cauldron were clearly visible, and it belonged to the royal family, and its value was very considerable.

Brother Complaint is right, bronze ware is indeed valuable.

Shen Zhaole went crazy. He quickly put the bronze tripod on the shelf and took a close-up video and uploaded it.

After a while, several people left her messages.

[Is the merchant crazy? A fake product is priced at 2 million? 】

[Such a new bronze ware? It's so shiny and glossy. It's unprofessional for the seller to fake it! At least make it look old and give it some green rust! ]

[I will report you to the platform for selling fake goods! ]

Shen Zhao simply ignored these messages and browsed the cheapest and most practical goods in the mall.

The twelfth lunar month is coming soon, and I have to prepare some goods for Ah Shi and the others to sell.

Such as the beads and headdresses worn by women, as well as forehead ornaments and earrings, etc.

No woman can resist beautiful ornaments, even if she is poor.

Of course, besides accessories, candies are what attract her the most.

Shen Zhao simply bought some caramelized sesame candy slices and caramelized peanut candy slices, as well as a very cheap fried rice candy and a box of biscuits, all of which were products recommended by Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing said that those colorful candies look good but are not edible, and there is no milk in milk candies, so she was told to buy less of these junk foods to avoid harming her body.

After a while, several boxes appeared.

Shen Zhao opened it, tasted a piece of each, and immediately squinted his eyes in happiness.

too delicious!

Xiaoqing is right. It is indeed the best time to eat sweets in the cold winter.

Shen Zhao handed the scorched earth slices and biscuits to his mother Zhang Shanyue, and stuffed a piece into her mouth: "Mom, try these sweets, are they delicious?"

Zhang Shanyue chewed the crispy sesame slices and nodded continuously: "It's really delicious. I wonder what it's made of?"

"Sesame seeds and icing sugar." Shen Zhao said.

At this time, Shen Heng came over and asked, "A Zhao, what delicious food did you buy again?"

Shen Zhao had no choice but to grab another handful and stuff it into his hand: "Here! Taste it yourself."

While eating, Shen Heng said, "From today on, I will live at the inn. My father asked me to learn from him how to be a pavilion chief."

"Did Dad really say that?" Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Shen Heng shrugged helplessly: "It was because of what you told him yesterday about buying a title. Now Dad took it seriously. He said he would go to the county to ask the county magistrate, so he asked me to take care of it at Tingyi."

In fact, it is to help Tingfu and Qiudao to check the pedestrians passing by. If they encounter someone carrying valuables in a sneaky way, they should carefully inquire about their origins.

Shen Zhao was also very happy to see that his father was serious about buying the title: "Okay! Go quickly, do your job seriously, and don't get into conflict with others."

Zhang Shanyue also took out a basket of cooked goat offal and goat head from the kitchen and handed it to his son: "Take it to the inn to eat. If you have nothing to do, learn to read from Mr. Dong."

"Got it." Shen Heng tied the basket to the horse's back and climbed on it.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw a woman suddenly rushing over and grabbing the horse's reins: "Finally caught the thief! Return my horse to me!"
