fool from heaven

Zhou Dalang knows how to cook shrimp, and he cooks good shrimp. The taste is not much better than that of restaurants in the county.

Every time I make shrimp, I pick them up and sell them in the county on Wednesday, and they are always swept away as soon as the baskets are put down.On Wednesday, I stored the empty baskets in a small shop not far away, and then went to work on the pier, and did not come back until evening.

Day after day, the reputation of Yuanbao Shrimp spread quietly in Li County.

Watching Zhou Dalang tidy up the prawns neatly, he licked his teeth on Wednesday: "This man, no matter how hard your bones are, you will always be honest if you beat him a few more times."

Zhou Dalang pretended he couldn't hear him, so he just went to work on his own.

"The shrimps are ready, this basket is spicy, this basket is boiled."

On Wednesday, I knocked the cigarette pouch, pinned it to the waistband of my trousers, took the pole by the door, picked up the bamboo basket, yelled to the woman in the house, and left.

Zhou Dalang's eyes gradually became gloomy from the dull one.

five years.

It has been five years since he left home.

He will never forget that day, the men in black came from all directions, and the blood spilled on their yard...

He was taken away by a group of people, and Qingshi chased after him, but the group was very skilled in martial arts, Qingshi was covered in blood, but they still did not give up.

Later, another group of men in black came, and they fought together. He took a chance and wanted to escape, but was rescued by a passing knight.

Before he had time to be grateful, the man stunned him and sold him to clear the hall. With the experience of being kidnapped before, he didn't panic, but ran away waiting for the opportunity.

Those people chased after him, and he fled with all his strength, falling from the cliff.Fortunately, he survived the catastrophe.

It's just that he didn't know where he was at all, and he was penniless, and he was about to starve to death, so he was picked up by someone.

When he woke up again, he was at Zhou's house.At that time, he had been homeless for two years.

When he first arrived at Zhou's house, he thought he had met a good family and begged them to let him go. Unexpectedly, this Wednesday was a violent one.He locked himself in the firewood room and sent some porridge every day, as long as he ensured that he would not starve to death.

Of course, he doesn't allow himself to be full either.

Whenever he thought of running away, he would be beaten severely, and he almost died a few times.

The old lady of the Zhou family is a smiling face, and she will treat her wounds every time, and say a few good words to comfort her.At first, I would be grateful and begged the old lady to let him go, but afterwards, I would be beaten more violently.

He was desperate and gave up.

Lying on the cold floor of the woodshed, he thought, if he died like this, he would never see his second uncle again, nor would he see Wen Yu test a scholar, nor would he see Wen Ling become a knight, nor would he see Wen Jin grow up , I can't see Miss Rong's bright smile anymore.

After that day, he seemed to be a different person. He stopped yelling and begging them every day, but ate and slept obediently.

After persisting for more than a year, they released him from the woodshed.

At that time, only skin and bones were left of him, and his appearance was horrifyingly tight.

Although he was free, he understood the nature of the Zhou family and did not dare to take it lightly.Working in the yard all day, never stepping out of the yard.It was only later that he found out that the longshoreman who stayed on Wednesday was watching.Fortunately, he did not act rashly.

Occasionally, he heard Zhou's family chatting. He knew that this was a small fishing village under Jiangzhou Prefecture in the south of Dachu.

And Wednesday is the little head of the Cao Gang in charge of the Fufengkou Wharf, and he has some power in his hands.The second butler of the Fan family in Yuli County can also speak a few words.

Of course, this was all boasted after taking a few mouthfuls of horse urine on Wednesday. How true or false it is remains to be verified.

But the general direction is not wrong after all.

So half a year later, he said to Wednesday: "My uncle is a cook, and his specialty dish is spicy shrimp. If you sell my shrimp, you will definitely make money."

At first Wednesday, he didn't believe it, but once he ate Wen Lang's shrimp, it got out of hand.

On Wednesday, this man was fond of gambling, and he owed a lot of gambling debts outside. Since he was the boss of the wharf, the casino didn't push him so hard.But in order to continue to gamble, he made any money on Wednesday.

On the second day, they asked Zhou Dalang to go fish for shrimps in the river.

This man on Wednesday is not short-sighted, he knows that this shrimp is a long-term business, so those restaurants who came to buy the recipe were politely rejected by him.I just sent some to Fan's house every day, and no one dared to mess with him.

"Father, if we think about it for a long time, it's better for us to start this business ourselves. If you can talk to the second steward of the Fan family, it's better to give him a bargain and count him as [-]% of the shares. Someone is covering, and we can open it ourselves." A small restaurant can make a lot of money."

Wen Lang came back from work on Wednesday this day, Wen Lang cooked a table of dishes, and the whole family was full of greasy food.

Spraying rice grains on Wednesday, he said: "It's easy for you to say, we don't have the capital. Besides, go do business, what about my work at the pier. Don't tell me you do business, be careful I will break your leg !"

Wen Lang lowered his head and said, "The pier is Dad's site, so it's not difficult to find a small shop at the pier. Dad has been in the county for so long, and there are always many repeat customers. If you shout out from time to time, naturally someone will be willing to go to the pier. My son eats shrimp. Dad hires a man to take a look at it from time to time, and it won't delay your work."

Afraid that it should not be done on Wednesday, Wen Lang said again: "When the restaurant makes money, then go to the county to find a good shop. Mother's belly has also moved. We have a business at home, so we can leave some property for my brother, right?"

When Wednesday's mother-in-law heard this, she really made the case. Although Wednesday was in the Cao Gang, she still made a living with her head tucked into her belt. She didn't want her son to follow this path in the future.So, after pestering us all night on Wednesday, I finally agreed.

Wen Lang looked at the refreshed Wednesday with a sneer.

You can't escape now, there will always be a chance in the future.He will wait slowly, waiting for Yuanbao Shrimp to spread from this small county.

In a blink of an eye, the new year has passed, and the new year has begun, but for some reason, this spring has been uncharacteristically, and it has snowed heavily.Many northern state capitals even had snow disasters.

Among them are Chuzhou, Suizhou, and Minzhou.

Qin Li is frowning these days. After all, in the past five years, he has controlled the six northern states except Chuzhou.

If there is no accident, after the beginning of spring this year, they plan to cross the river and across Jiangzhou. This snowstorm is really annoying.Not to mention the inconvenience of travel and the delay in business, the people were affected by the disaster, and once they became stiff, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"The people from Shengyuantang seem to have arrived in Jiangzhou. If they are asked to reach an agreement with the Gao family first, we will be in a passive position." Qin Si said.

These years, Qin Li has not relaxed his investigation of Shengyuantang. After Liang Ji's incident, he was sure that Mr. Ning, who was hiding in Xiushan Village, had a close connection with Shengyuantang.

Perhaps, this person is even the real head of Shengyuan Hall.However, since this person disappeared five years ago, there has been no news.

It is still unknown how much that Mr. Ning was involved in the disappearance of several people in Wen Lang five years ago.However, judging from the investigation at the time, he seemed to be seriously injured.

And Liang Ji's actions clearly told him that he and the forces behind him knew his identity, so naturally, they also knew who Wen Jin was.

Although the person who robbed Wen Jin went to Beishipo, on the surface it seemed that the person in Beijing had discovered his tracks.After all, when Rong Qi came back, there were many officials accompanying him, coupled with Han Yijiang's cautious temperament, he was not sure if he had been exposed.

Therefore, he sent people to the capital to investigate Wen Jin's whereabouts.Of course, Shengyuantang was not spared either.

Because it was Liang Ji who was the first to see through his identity.

So Ning Huai is very aggrieved now.

Liang Ji disappeared for five years, and it started five years ago, and his Shengyuan Hall became more and more difficult.Although Han Yijiang knew some clues, he dealt with them for a long time.But the force that appeared inexplicably five years ago made Ning Huai suspect that Liang Ji had betrayed him.

The various eyeliners originally placed in Suizhou were basically depleted in the past few years of cleaning.Even he himself was forced back to Chuzhou base camp.

There was also the matter of Lingshan. Originally, he wanted to use fire to force Qin Li to remember the past, but unexpectedly, the fire was so fierce that he burned him to death!In this way, if he wants to find the things left by the former emperor, the chances are even smaller.

This snow disaster came by coincidence, but also by coincidence.Coincidentally, the snow disaster swept across the three northern states. After the disaster, the vitality of the northern part will be greatly damaged, and then they can take advantage of the opportunity to gain momentum.Unfortunately, the snowstorm came too fast, and Jiangzhou had no results yet, so his time was very tight.

After dealing with Shengyuantang for so many years, Qin Li had some guesses in his heart.

The headquarters of Shengyuantang is at the junction of Chuzhou and Suizhou. Judging from the movement of Shengyuantang, they are very interested in the Jiangzhou Gao family.To be precise, he was interested in Jiangzhou Gao's boat.

The four major families in Jiangzhou, Gao, Jiang, Pei, and Fan.The Gao family is the head of the four major families, and one of the richest.As the merchant ship manufacturer appointed by the imperial court, the Gao family's status is unmatched.

The Jiang family is in charge of the Cao Gang, and the eldest lady of the Jiang family is the wife of the head of the Gao family. Gao and Jiang are married, and in Jiangzhou, they only cover the sky with one hand, and even the magistrate has to avoid her edge.

As for the Fan family, they were originally the stewards of the Jiang family. After the head of the Gao family took Fan's daughter as his concubine, the power of the Fan family was at its peak.Somehow, the Jiang family plummeted, and the Cao Gang gradually came under the control of the Fan family.Afterwards, Mrs. Jiang fell into the water and died, and Mrs. Fan was in charge of Gao's back house. Fan's family was a gang of mobs.

Relatively speaking, the Pei family is more low-key.The silk business run by the Pei family does not conflict with the other three.On the contrary, the young master of the Pei family and the young lady of the Gao family have achieved a good marriage.

I heard that Patriarch Gao loves his eldest daughter very much, and he carried the dowry at 120, which made half of Jiangzhou City popular.After that, he also took care of the Pei family's business.However, because of Mrs. Gao's matter, the relationship between the father and daughter seems not to be harmonious.

Qin Li narrowed his eyes: "Qin Si, since people from Shengyuantang have found Fan's house, let's send someone to Pei's house."

"The Pei family? Your lord, Gao Fei is a married woman. No matter how much Patriarch Gao loves her daughter, she will not be so rash. What's more, the Cao Gang is in the hands of the Fan family."

Qin Li smiled and said: "You also know that the Cao Gang is in the hands of the Fan family."

Qin Si didn't understand.

"Think about the Jiang family back then. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Back then, Patriarch Gao accepted Fan's daughter because he didn't want the Jiang family to be too powerful. He supported a Fan family to compete with the Jiang family. Now the Fan family has become the second of the Jiang family... I think, Patriarch Gao's heart His little calculations are louder than anyone else's."

Qin Sishen thought so, and immediately frowned: "Now that the north is like this, the Lord may not be able to leave."

"Tell Qin Da to go, I hope he won't let me down this time."

What happened five years ago, due to a momentary mistake by Qin Da, he failed to deal with Cao Cheng and the spies inside the Chu family army in time, which indirectly led to the tragedy of the Wen family.If Wen Yan hadn't said a good word, Qin Da would have been a pile of bones by now.

However, punishment is inevitable.

Afterwards, Qin Da has been left alone, traveling around in the past few years, trying to find news about the young masters of the Wen family.At this time, the person happened to be in Huzhou.
