Tracing the Roots

After hearing the shopkeeper’s reason, Lai Da came to him with a smile, and then slapped his ears fiercely.

“What can I do to let you be like this, let you cook without rice! Don’t you have what others have? Why don’t you have green vegetables when others have them? Why don’t you find the reason yourself, but come and tell me what to do? What are you? Talk to Grandpa!”

Lai Da’s rage was not without reason. He has been revered in his life, but his only regret is that he is a slave.

But his background is not up to him to decide, besides, the respect and power he is getting now is all due to his background.

So he is very contradictory. He feels proud of his identity, but at the same time feels inferior.

But if he wants to change this identity, he can’t do it. The only thing that can make him feel relieved is that his son is now a good man, and he can take the imperial examination route.

And he has already paved the way for his son. When his son becomes an official, his family will be an official family.

The shopkeeper, who was slapped several times by Lai Da, whose mouth was bleeding, was so frightened that he knelt down and apologized again and again.

The shopkeeper: “Yes, yes, it’s all the fault of the small ones, the small ones don’t dare anymore, never dare again.”

Lai Da seemed to have calmed down after smoking, and took the brocade handkerchief from the handmaid beside him.

After wiping, he threw it on the shopkeeper’s face and said, “I don’t care what method you use, just go and steal it. If others have it, I want it too!”

Coming out of Lai Da’s mansion, the shopkeeper went to inquire about the situation.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and the restaurant of the Yang family is not a place with good secrecy.

After a little inquiring, everyone Lai’s restaurant manager knew the origin of those vegetables.

Not only did I know the source, but I also bought some samples from the back chef of Yang’s restaurant.

After this was bought and finished, he immediately understood where the gap was.

“Come on, follow me to Xiaoyangzhuang outside the city!”

Early the next morning, the shopkeeper of the Lai’s restaurant took the servant and the carriage and went out of the city.

It was obvious that his target was Xiaoyangzhuang outside the city, but he had already seen the shopkeepers of seven or eight different restaurants along the way.

Everyone is the shopkeeper in Shenjing City. People in the same circle also have backers behind them.

This one belongs to the Marquis, that one belongs to the uncle, and that one belongs to the general.

On weekdays, everyone would greet each other more or less when they met, but today they all pretended not to see each other.

Not only was he unable to see, but he also urged his feet to move faster. Looking at everyone’s directions, he knew that it was definitely the same goal.

“Hurry up, go faster, if you don’t buy something late, I’ll skin you when you go back!”

Under the urging of the shopkeeper, the driver speeded up.

Xiaoyangzhuang is not far away, and the car will arrive soon, but when they arrived, what they saw was a group of people building a wall.

“Dare to ask this little brother, is this Xiaoyangzhuang?”

The shopkeeper of a restaurant was holding two pennies in his hand, and planned to ask the farmer who repaired the fence about the situation.

He often does this kind of thing, knowing that these people will happily tell him everything when they give him two cents, and he will be very grateful for his kindness when he is done.

It’s just that after the shopkeeper waited patiently, he found that the farmer didn’t care about the two cents at all, and just moved stones to build the fence on his own.

The expression on the shopkeeper’s face immediately became stiff. He felt that he was underestimated by a farmer, and he was suddenly upset.

Seeing this situation, the servant next to him immediately stood up and said, “You muddy leg, my shopkeeper is talking to you, and if you ignore it, is it possible that you will be punished?”

Seeing his boy stand up, the shopkeeper’s complexion improved a lot, but this sentence made things complicated.

I saw the villager put down the stone and ran away, shouting as he ran, “Come on, someone from outside the village is here to make trouble!!!”

It turned out that Manager Zhang had said before they came to repair the fence that if anyone wanted to enter Xiaoyangzhuang, he must be stopped outside, and he was determined not to allow outsiders to see what was going on inside the village.

Somehow, it was understood by others, and now they are making money.

Chuang Tzu is full of good things, and outsiders want to rob them of their money and seeds.

Then these guys are more active in building the fence, and they don’t say that they need wages. When outsiders come to Zhuangzi, they are also more vigilant than each other.

Anyway, it’s just ignorance. If someone wants to force their way in or they feel that the other party’s intentions are not good, they will shake them immediately.

No, seeing the injustice on the road, he shouted, and a group of good friends came.

look atA group of farmers with tools like sticks and hammers, and the shopkeepers of several restaurants were a little scared.

“Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding! We are here to buy vegetables.”

“The Yang’s Restaurant in Shenjing City buys vegetables in your Xiaoyangzhuang. We also want to buy some.”

Fortunately, the clever shopkeeper saw that something was wrong, and immediately came out and shouted out his intentions.

A group of farmers all looked at the farmer who called out before.

“I, I saw that they wanted to bribe me with money, and they still looked fierce after I refused. I thought they were looking for trouble.”

After listening to the explanation, a group of farmers looked at the people outside the village again, and they didn’t seem to put down the weapons in their hands at all.

At this time, Guanshi Zhang finally came late, and the shopkeepers outside were also relieved after seeing Guanshi Zhang.

Although the Yang family is not a wealthy family, Guanshi Zhang is still in the same circle after all. Although they don’t have much contact with each other, they still know each other.

Someone I knew came, and I was finally able to talk about business.

After Guanshi Zhang came out, he clasped his fists and bowed: “Everyone, I’m sorry, the farmers don’t have much knowledge. I already know the purpose of your visit. Please, I have prepared tea for you.”

The shopkeepers were invited in by Zhang Guanshi, and their servants and carriages naturally also went in.

The rest of the farmers went back to their jobs.

These people are here to discuss business, so naturally Manager Zhang will take care of them.

Although it has only been changed for more than a month, the current Xiaoyangzhuang has changed a lot compared with the previous one.

First of all, this road. Because of Yang Guang’s request, the previous dirt road has been turned into a stone road, and there are sewers on both sides of the road.

Basically, the road surface is free from mud, water and dust, and is very clean and smooth. The carriage is actually not bumpy at all when walking on the road.

Steward Zhang stood at the gate of the courtyard and said, “Everyone, please come in. If you need anything, just talk to me directly. The boss is impatient with these mundane affairs, so leave them to me as the steward.”

I didn’t explain what I said, but I understood the meaning.

That is, you are all just shopkeepers. To put it bluntly, you are also servants.

Since they are all servants, is it possible that my young master is still here to entertain you? Just me.
