Chapter 460 The Unscrupulous Landlord
Just as Leng Yingchun was thinking about how to cooperate with the yamen, she heard the landlord shouting outside, "Two girls, have you woken up? We have prepared breakfast, so get up and have some food."
"Here, thank you uncle." Leng Yingchun responded and stood up, picked a set of clothes to change, and glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao who was thinking, "Are you planning to stay here?"
"It's so domineering, you can't sleep in!" Qin Xiaoxiao got up reluctantly, put on her clothes, and walked out with Leng Yingchun.
The moment she opened the door, the pungent rust smell made her almost vomit again.
"Girl, are you pregnant?" The landlord's face suddenly became frightened. "Then you have to leave here quickly, don't let something happen to the child."
"Why do you have to leave here after you are pregnant?" Qin Xiaoxiao was confused.
"To be honest, some time ago, there were many happy people here. For some reason, the children were gone. Everyone suspected that the iron tools here were too serious, so that the children would not dare to come and leave by themselves." The landlord's face was very serious. "If my eldest daughter-in-law and young daughter-in-law were not pregnant, I wouldn't have let them go to other places to settle their babies, so there were two rooms empty."
Qin Xiaoxiao understood why she couldn't see a pregnant woman. She pointed to the room, "It's just that smelly smell, the adults are almost sent away by him. The fetus is spiritual, and she will definitely not want to stay when she smells uncomfortable."
"So, girl, it's not me who want to drive you away. It's really for the safety of your children in your belly and the explanation to your in-laws. You should pack up your bags and leave here and live in other places." The landlord urged anxiously.
He was also worried that Qin Xiaoxiao had a strong background. If the child was gone and her in-laws came to cause trouble for him, he had no background and was afraid that he would be in prison.
"Haha, uncle, you see, my hair is not tied up yet, why are you pregnant? Don't you want to ruin my reputation?" Qin Xiaoxiao pointed to her hair.
"I don't know how many girls who have not got married have been coaxed by men to have life and hide everywhere. They wait until the child is born before sending them out. Then they find a man to marry, but no one said anything." The landlord looked very conscious of the world.
Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless and patted her belly hard, "It's empty!"
The landlord breathed a little relieved and pointed to the table in front of him, "You have been sleeping for so long, you must be hungry. Go to have a meal quickly. If you want to develop in Sucheng, you have to go and have a walk in advance. After getting familiar with the environment, you will decide whether to do business."
"Thank you, uncle!" Qin Xiaoxiao ran over and looked at the gray steamed buns and lost her appetite. But when she saw Leng Yinghuan, who had just walked out of the room, had to take a bite. The smell was so bad, she vomited, "Uncle, what's this made of? It's so bad!"
"The girl is very delicate at first glance. You can't eat what we ordinary people are used to eating."
The landlord’s wife was feeding chickens. When she heard Qin Xiaoxiao’s complaints, she felt very uncomfortable and had to say something.
"Say less, haha, girl, it doesn't matter if you think it's not delicious. Let's go to the mountains to pick up some water and cook it for you to eat!" The landlord knows how to take care of the customers' emotions.
"You are quite far away from the mountain. Can your thin figure be able to lift water? Don't dodge your waist or fall, and if something goes wrong, it will be up to me." Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand and sat down, "Forget it, just let it go." ap.
She saw Leng Yingchun standing and staring at the steamed bun for a long time and then gently poked her on the waist, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Leng Yingchun shook her head, sat down, picked up the steamed bun and took it, and the smell in the toilet made her frown and she had to vomit it out.
"Hey, I don't think it's bad, right?" Qin Xiaoxiao said to the landlord, "Your cooking skills are so bad. You don't have to prepare our food in the future. Let's find something for ourselves."
The landlord was happy and nodded decisively, "Okay, we won't prepare your food anymore, but there are no restaurants in Sucheng, you can
Go to a farmland at the back to cook by yourself, but the owner of the field is hard to talk to and may find ways to get money from you. If you dare to say that you are relatives of the county government, they may be more restrained."
"Thank you for your reminder, we have our own way." Qin Xiaoxiao shaved her nose, grabbed Leng Yingchun and stood up, "Let's go, let's cook a big meal by ourselves."
Leng Yingchun wanted to go to the space to get something to cook, but she was afraid that it would attract attention, so she didn't take action.
When we arrived at that farmland, there was a huge crowd. The old lady in front who was eating with her legs crossed her legs was probably the farmland owner.
"So many people have no interest in cooking by themselves." Qin Xiaoxiao planned to go home and pack up and leave.
"We've been here, why should we leave?" Leng Yinghuan was hungry and saw that there were vegetables and rice piles not far away, so she didn't want to leave.
"Since you come, you will be at ease!" Leng Yingchun didn't want to walk around and took Qin Xiaoxiao to the farmer, "We want to make a stove here and buy your rice and vegetables, how much does it cost?"
"In this score, if you find the set stoves, you have to queue up. Each time, five taels of silver, one pound of vegetables and rice, and ten taels of silver. If you set up the stove yourself, you have to pay one hundred taels of silver. Vegetables and rice are free, and you can use them until you leave."
The farmer said proudly, too many people want to come here to enjoy the food, so they don’t have to worry about not having any customers.
"So dark? Why don't you rob?" Qin Xiaoxiao pointed at the farmer, "Believe it or not, I'll turn your farmland into mine?"
"Haha, where did the yellow-haired girl come from? She actually dared to covet my farmland. Do you know how this farmland came from?" The farmland owner stood up angrily and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"How did it come from?" Qin Xiaoxiao asked with her arms in her arms.
"My ancestors have made merits and the court rewards me. The yamen respect me three points. If you dare to take it, you will not be able to get along with the court. They will be taken to the prison cell at any time." The farmer said coldly, "If you want to eat, eat it, don't eat it, get out as soon as possible, don't interfere with my business."
"Today I will make you proud, tomorrow you beg me to forgive you, and I will not let you have a good life." Qin Xiaoxiao took out a 100 taels of silver bill and threw it on the face of the farmland director, "Don't be too naughty, sooner or later you will pay the price."
The farmer would not be frustrated with the money, so he picked up the silver notes and spat, "Don't think of threatening me, I won't take your tricks!"
Qin Xiaoxiao had already walked away and didn't listen to her. She cleaned up the scene near the water source and planned to set up a stove.
"You guys go get rice and vegetables, I'll do it!" Leng Yinghuan rolled up her sleeves and started to get busy.
Leng Yingchun took the rice and vegetables, and when he squatted down to prepare to wash vegetables, he found some iron ore debris floating on the water surface. He was a little puzzled where the stone came from. He flew to the high mountain in front to see, and found that the mountain in front was bare, and many people were digging iron ore.
If this continues, the vegetation will be destroyed, which will easily cause soil erosion and will not be conducive to the orderly development of the expression.
She got up with a heavy mood. Leng Yinghuan simply set up the stove and found a clay-shaped broken pot, and the water was boiled.
"Why do you look worried?" Qin Xiaoxiao leaned over.
"Even too much is too little. Once anything is too much, it will cause problems. After dinner, we go to the yamen to find officials and ask them to stop approving the establishment of the iron smelting shop." Leng Yingchun squatted down and pondered.
"The yamen can't get in. We haven't walked around yet! Why are you so anxious?" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care, put the rice in the pot and stirred.
"The night is long and there are many dreams, and you will feel at ease after finishing it as soon as possible." Leng Yingchun sighed, "I'll pick up firewood!"
"You cook here, I'll go and have a look!" Leng Yinghuan was worried about Leng Yingchun, so she told Qin Xiaoxiao to look at the fire.
"Hey, I haven't cooked it, don't you worry?" Qin Xiaoxiao was about to cry without tears. If she had known it, she wouldn't have stirred it with a spoon.
Leng Yingchun walked forward along the forest and accidentally saw people wearing thick coats and a little gray hair, and thought they might be white.
People from the Tiger Kingdom looked at Leng Yinghuan.
"I will investigate them and see what their purpose is to go to the ore mountain." Leng Yinghuan took the initiative to take responsibility, just wanted Leng Yingchun to rest.
"Brother Huan always knows what I mean." Leng Yingchun was particularly sympathetic and grateful, "The people in the White Tiger Kingdom are cunning, you must be extremely careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Leng Yinghuan smiled gently, "Don't be too hasty, let's go back, Xiaoxiao probably won't be able to do it."
"Okay!" Leng Yingchun was not relieved. Qin Xiaoxiao picked up firewood on the way and returned to the farmland. Qin Xiaoxiao started fighting with people.
They spent a lot of effort to separate them. After asking, they found out that Qin Xiaoxiao could not cook and was burned. The people next to her joked that she was a local bun. She was so angry that she retaliated. After a while, it caused conflicts and started fighting.
Leng Yingchun had no choice but to explain to those people that big things had become smaller.
"Why are you talking to them? Your elbows are turning out." Qin Xiaoxiao touched her face, and was slapped by an aunt, which hurt so much.
"You provoke trouble first, why are you still right? Just teach someone who is beaten on the face." Leng Yingchun said cold words and did not forget to wipe the pain in her hand.
"Forget it, I'm going to leave this ghost place now." Qin Xiaoxiao hammered the soil angrily.
"Let's do this, you and Brother Huan go to other places first. I'll stay here for a few days. When the matter is finished, I'll go find you." Leng Yingchun gave advice.
"No, we are in the same group and we can't separate." Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "At most I won't complain."
Leng Yingchun patted her on the shoulder, "Good sister, I'm sorry, I always make you suffer."
"It has nothing to do with you, I like to endure hardship!" Qin Xiaoxiao laughed, and Leng Yingchun felt relieved.
They noticed that the Marquis's secret guard set up a stove opposite and asked them to come and have a meal.
They shared the information from the investigation, "The White Tiger Kingdom wants to use up the Sucheng iron ore, and then take away the Sucheng knives, and then sell them back at a high price when Dayu Kingdom needs weapons."
"It's amazing!" Leng Yingchun's behavior of having to make black money for the White Tiger Kingdom was so amazing that she gritted her teeth, "We insist on letting their dreams be shattered."
"If you have any ideas about Princess Mandao, we will do our best to help you."
The secret guard was eager to try, wanting to capture all the White Tiger people in one place and be a hero who could see the glory.
