After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Hu Sanlang had a bitter face. "Mr. Luo, I really did my best. Mr. Luo's people saw it a year ago. I was seriously injured. That woman is really unyielding."

Luo Hao spread his hands, "What does that have to do with me? You help me get things done, and I help you settle things. It's a fair deal for both of us."

Hu Sanlang gritted his teeth and said, "How about I just tie her up and make her hand over the recipe?"

Luo Hao looked at Hu Sanlang as if he were a fool. "Are you out of your mind? If I forcefully get the recipe like this, how can I still use it? As soon as I use it, won't people know that I stole the recipe from her?

I really don’t know what’s going on in your head. I don’t know how you passed the exam to become a Tongsheng…”

Luo Hao paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh... I see, you also cheated in the exam, right?"

Hu Sanlang passed the examination for a Tongsheng degree three years ago, but Luo Hao wronged him. He really passed the examination based on his own ability.

But he was a little impatient, so he took part in the college entrance examination in the second half of the year.

However, he was found to have slipped a small note into his pocket during the exam and was subsequently disqualified from taking the exam.

The act of slipping a small note into a bag is serious, but not serious either.

If one is disqualified from the exam and wants to take it again, he or she must have someone to guarantee it, and the person who guarantees it must have a good academic record.

But who would guarantee someone who cheats on an exam?

In the past two years, Hu Sanlang had been looking for help, so he turned to Luo Hao.

Luo Hao is the nephew of the provincial education commissioner and has now passed the imperial examination and become a scholar.

But he certainly wouldn't personally guarantee Hu Sanlang, he could find someone else.

Luo Hao also went to Yangshan County for a trip. He tasted the braised pork in Yangshan County, and then asked someone and learned that the braised pork was made by Zhang Hulan.

Luo Hao also found out that Zhang Hulan had been commended by the emperor, so he could not take it away by force and could only let Zhang Hulan hand over the prescription willingly.

Hu Sanlang was also from Changning County, and happened to need him to do something, so Hu Sanlang came to propose marriage.

Luo Hao had come up with the idea, too. He wanted Hu Sanlang to use the "beauty trap" to marry Zhang Hulan, and then get the prescription.

But Zhang Hulan didn't take the bait.

Hu Sanlang spoke again, "Mr. Luo, can't you offer some other terms? How much silver would you like to help me get this done? Just name your name."

Luo Hao sneered again, "I'm asking for your permission? You're so arrogant. How much can you earn in a year with those brick kilns? I want ten thousand taels. Do you have it?"

Hu Sanlang was feeling frustrated. He wanted ten thousand taels, so why did he have to beg so humbly?

Luo Hao waved his hand and said, "Think of another solution. Perhaps you are not attentive enough or sincere enough."

Hu Sanlang left the teahouse and cursed in his heart, these children of high-ranking officials are really good-for-nothings.

But he didn't think about what he was.

Hu Sanlang was walking on the street, heading in the same direction as Zhang Hulan and the others.

Zhang Hulan took Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi to a jewelry store to buy some jewelry, and when they came out they ran into Hu Sanlang.

Zhang Hulan and Hu Sanlang were both stunned.

Hu Sanlang said in surprise: "Sister Zhang..."

When Zhang Hulan heard this name, she felt like vomiting, and she pulled Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi away.

"Sister Zhang, don't go..." Hu Sanlang hurriedly caught up, "Sister Zhang, why did you come to the capital? Where are you staying? If you don't have a place to stay, I have a place to stay."

Zhang Hulan stopped, turned around and looked at Hu Sanlang, and said in a cold tone: "Don't follow me anymore, or don't blame me for being rude."

After Zhang Hulan finished speaking, she took Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi away.

But why wouldn’t Hu Sanlang keep up?

Continuing to follow Zhang Hulan, he said, "Sister Zhang, are you here in the city for business? I'm familiar with the city. What do you want to do? I can help..."

Before she could finish the words "I'll help you", Zhang Hulan turned around and punched him.

Hu Sanlang screamed, covered his nose with his hands, and tears came out in pain. Blood flowed out from his nose through his fingers.

Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi's eyes widened. It had been a long time since their mother had fought with anyone...

People passing by were also stunned. Some passersby who didn't know the reason thought Zhang Hulan was too unreasonable; because Hu Sanlang looked like a scholar, and scholars had a very high status in the hearts of ordinary people.

Especially some older women, they like the kind of fair-skinned young scholar the most.

"How can you, woman, hit people so casually?" An old woman stood up for Hu Sanlang.

Zhang Hulan was in a bad mood. She glanced at the old woman and asked, "What does this have to do with you? Do you know the reason?"

"You can't hit people for any reason, especially when the person you hit is a scholar..." The old woman was very angry.

Zhang Hulan looked at the old woman and asked, "Do you have a son?"

The old woman was a little stunned, not understanding why Zhang Hulan asked her if she had a son, but she nodded and said, "What's wrong with me having a son?"

Zhang Hulan asked again: "Do you have a daughter-in-law?"

The old lady replied: "I have grandchildren."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said again: "If a man sets his sights on your daughter-in-law, pesters her every day, and wants to marry her, what will you do?"

The old woman was stunned. "What do you mean? How can you be so vicious?"

"Am I vicious?" Zhang Hulan pointed at herself and angrily asked, "Are you blind? Didn't you see me with my daughter? Didn't you see him pestering me? You're accusing me without knowing anything. What kind of logic is that?"

"I..." The old woman was speechless after being confronted by Zhang Hulan and could only stare blankly.

Everyone around looked at Hu Sanlang:

"Oh my~, he looked quite a gentleman, but turned out to be a scoundrel..."

"Oh my god, this scholar doesn't look that old, how could he like a woman who is already married and has a child?"

"This appetite is really unusual..."

Hu Sanlang's face turned red. He didn't expect Zhang Hulan to be so disrespectful to him. There was cruelty in his eyes.

This happened in the provincial capital. If this gets out, how will he survive in the provincial capital in the future?

Hu Sanlang glanced at Zhang Hulan, then turned and ran away.

Zhang Hulan continued to shout from behind: "If you dare to harass me again, I will beat you up every time I see you."

The old woman also felt embarrassed and left in shame.

Zhang Hulan ignored the onlookers and left with her two daughters.

Zhang Hulan's mood was not affected and she continued to take Zhang Xinyao and Zhang Xinyi shopping.

But Hu Sanlang, who had run away, turned around and followed Zhang Hulan, her mother and daughter from a distance.

He had a crazy idea at this moment.

If I could get the recipe and make Zhang Hulan disappear...

There was no need to give the recipe to Luo Hao, he could just take it to other places and sell it.

He also heard some information that Zhang Hulan had bought more than a thousand acres of land, which must have been all earned from the braised meat business.

If it was so profitable, then this recipe must be worth a lot of money. If he sold it, he wouldn't have to work for the rest of his life. So what if he didn't take the imperial examination?
