Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Cheng Huaimo strode forward, slapped Huang Shengcai, and directly pulled out two of his back molars.

Li Zhenlang said in a loud voice: "Who is Wang County Cheng of Zheng County, Huazhou?"

The voice was full of irresistible meaning, and it was so familiar to Wang Xiancheng's ears. Isn't this the usual Shangguan's tone?

Looking up again, although the two of them looked elegant and the other was a martial artist, their outfits showed that they were of extraordinary background, so they might really be some kind of big shot.

Having figured everything out, Wang Xiancheng got up quickly, cupped his hands slightly and said: "I am the official, I don't know who you two are? What advice do you have?"

"Huh, who are we? You, a small county magistrate, are not qualified to know. Know this." Li Zhen took out a token from his bosom. down.

"I don't know if it was the upper official of the Duke's Mansion who came here, but the lower official offended, forgive the sin, forgive the sin!"

When the people of the Du family heard that they were such a big person, they also knelt down. Only Du Shaoqing stood alone. First, he remembered the misunderstanding he had with the two of them in the morning. Second, his knees were not so soft and he was not used to giving others bow your head.

Chapter 14 Young Bearded Grandpa

Cheng Chumo stepped forward and grabbed the county magistrate Wang, "You are so courageous, you take advantage of your position to snatch other people's real estate, and even steal their secret recipe. A small county magistrate dares to be so pleasing to the common people. Your time is at an end."

"No, no, I don't have any, no"

Li Zhen said seriously: "There is no need to quibble, we just came out of Tian Dahu's house, and they said that you spent a tael of silver to get the real estate bought by him for 20 taels. Isn't this oppressing the people and stealing? What is it?

We heard clearly at the door just now that you want to use this house to coerce the Du family to hand over the priceless ancestral secret recipe. What a good show, well done! "

It was over, hearing that the two had found out the ins and outs, Wang Xiancheng's body softened, as if his bones had been pulled out, and his face turned pale.

Cheng Chumo threw it away with his hands, spitting and cursing: "What thing? Hitting you really dirty my hands."

Turning his head to look at Li Zhen, the meaning was obvious, how to deal with the two of them.

"Xiancheng Wang is an official of the imperial court. If you know the law, you will be charged with a higher level of crime. Later, you will personally escort him to Zheng County and hand it over to the magistrate of Zheng County to deal with it according to law. Find out how much evil he has done. He should be killed and arrested. .

As for the shopkeeper of this place, after all, it's just a neighborhood dispute to bully others, hmph, let's just drag him outside the door and beat him up in public for a long memory. "

Then, in full view of everyone, Cheng Chumo beat Huang Shengcai violently on the street. Cheng Chumo beat Huang Shengcai heartily, but Huang Shengcai was howling like ghosts and wolves. It was extremely miserable. The screams scared the people on both sides of the town to close their doors and dare not Came forward to watch.

Wang Xiancheng was taken away for investigation, while Li Zhen found Du Shaoqing and brought up the matter of buying the steamed bun formula again.

When they met for the second time, Du Shaoqing was obviously quite embarrassed. He even said that the two of them were liars in the morning.

"I misunderstood the identities of the two young masters in the morning. Du apologizes here. Please speak in the back room."

Du Shaoqing led Li Zhen to the living room of the back house, where the guests and the host were seated. Li Zhen took out a note from his arms and handed it over, "I learned about steamed buns from a leather goods dealer in Chang'an the day before yesterday. Army rations, that's why I came here to find you, not for my personal profit.

It’s still what I told shopkeeper Du in the morning. We two brothers sincerely bought the recipe of Du’s steamed buns. After visiting, we found out that the steamed buns are very popular, so we are going to pay 1000 taels of silver to buy the secret recipe of your steamed buns. I don’t know shopkeeper Du. how about?

I know this is a secret biography of the Du family, and it cannot be easily leaked out. If it is a matter of price, we can discuss it further. "

There were no bank notes in the Tang Dynasty, but only in the Northern Song Dynasty, so Li Zhen, who was not prepared at this time, had to take out a written receipt, and the agreed amount would be delivered in the future.

Hearing this, Du Shaoqing trembled, this big nobleman is different, this is clearly a local tyrant, before our family saved food and money for a little rent, and we were reluctant to even eat meat, but now he is fine, and it costs 1000 taels when he makes a move silver?What is this equivalent to?It is equivalent to 400 million soft sister coins in later generations.

Du Shaoqing waved his hand, "It's not about money."

Li Zhen was a little disappointed. Could it be that the price was not enough to impress the other party?It's not about the money, so what's the problem?Could it be that the Du family's ancestral teachings cannot be passed on?If so, it will be difficult.

"Today, the two young masters rescued the Du family. With this kind of kindness, you just need to take the steamed bun formula, and it's fine to mention the money. We are not people who forget righteousness for profit." Li Zhen was stunned by Du Shaoqing's words.

"What? Here, 1000 taels"

"Hehe, 1000 taels is indeed a huge amount of money, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way! Besides, the son is using it to make military rations for the army, and everyone is responsible for the country's rise and fall! It is good to be able to improve the food for the soldiers who defend the country. The Du family's honor."

Hearing Du Shaoqing's words, Li Zhen's body was shocked. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. These words are far-reaching. They came from a scholar and businessman. It's unbelievable.It's almost unbelievable!

Standing up, he bowed solemnly to Du Shaoqing, "I'm Li Zhen, on behalf of the officers and men of the Tang Dynasty, I would like to thank Shopkeeper Du for his righteousness."

Du Shaoqing and this Li Zhen are about the same age, after some chatting, they are quite congenial. Du Shaoqing likes this noble son who is noble but has no pretensions at all, and has a very good self-cultivation character. Li Zhen likes this shopkeeper who seems to be a businessman. But his knowledge and knowledge are extremely extensive, and he is not a merchant or a philistine at all, but looks like a hermit.

"Actually, this steamed bun is not unique to my Du family. According to legend, it was created by Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period when he pacified the Nanman. At that time, before the battle against Menghuo, human heads were needed to worship the river god. Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it, so he invented steamed buns with water and noodles. This steamed bun is a homonym of Mantou.

It's just that after several wars, the method of making steamed buns was lost, and we accidentally restored it. "

Du Shaoqing unraveled the origin of the steamed buns, and Li Zhen admired them even more, "Brother Du is really knowledgeable, and I admire it. I didn't expect it to be a rare thing from the Three Kingdoms period. It's a pity that it has been lost for hundreds of years, hey!"

After talking for half a day, the two are almost brothers, which shows how speculative they are.

"Since Brother Du is righteous and doesn't take money, you can accept this house deed that originally belonged to the Du family. We have paid 20 taels to Tian Dahu before, and now we are giving it to Brother Du. It is right to be righteous to Brother Du." Thank you for giving the secret recipe.

Brother Du, don't worry, we will report the credit for bringing this thing to Chang'an, and maybe His Majesty will reward you. "Li Zhen took the deed sincerely.

Du Shaoqing no longer refuses this time, it is best to keep this house deed in his own hands, so as not to be left outside again and give others a handle.

In the evening, Cheng Chumo came back after finishing his errands, but just as soon as he got off his horse, he caused trouble. It was none other than Du Shaoqing's youngest daughter, Du Xuanxuan.

Li Zhen and Li Zhen were still chatting as if they had forgotten the time, when suddenly there was a cry of a child outside, and then the youngest daughter Xuanxuan ran all the way and rushed into Du Shaoqing's arms.

"Wow! Daddy, there is a bearded grandpa who robbed me of steamed buns, and he snatched one of my steamed buns, wow"

Before she could say a few words, the little girl kept crying, her tears were like soybeans without money, which made Du Shaoqing and Li Zhen feel pitiful.

As soon as he picked up his daughter, Du Shaoqing said angrily: "Which blind old man bullies my three-year-old daughter? Go, daddy will beat him up!"

"Brother Du, I'm going with you, it's really disgusting to be disrespectful to the old and bully the children!"

The two of them didn't leave the backyard when a burly figure strode in with a big white steamed bun in his hand. It looked like a bandit had descended.

Seeing this, the little girl seemed to be terrified, and squeezed hard into Du Shaoqing's arms.

Now Du Shaoqing seemed to understand, and asked in a low voice: "Daughter, could it be that he robbed your steamed bun?"

The little girl was timid, she didn't dare to speak, but she cried louder, Li Zhen asked: "Chu Mo, could it be that you robbed this child of steamed buns?

Chapter 15 Huang Shengcai

Cheng Chumo opened his mouth wide in an instant, and said with a chuckle: "Don't exaggerate, how can this be a robbery? I kept bringing that damned county magistrate to justice, and was in a hurry to come back. I didn't even drink my saliva on the way. I was really hungry. I got off the horse and saw the steamed buns. Do you remember anything else?

I have already explained it to this girl, and I will give her back one later, who knew that she couldn't help teasing and crying like this, didn't she poke me to embarrass me on purpose! "

When it came to the end, Cheng Chumo also felt embarrassed, and the delivery of the steamed buns in his hand to his mouth was a bit slow.

Du Shaoqing comforted her daughter and said: "Okay, okay, don't cry, this bearded uncle is hungry, let him eat first, and you can go to the third grandma and ask for one, let Xuanxuan eat half more tonight .”

Xuanxuan burst into laughter instantly. With steamed buns, she could say anything, but as if she remembered something, she pointed at Cheng Chumo with her little finger and whispered, "Daddy, you made a mistake, that one should be called the bearded grandpa."

puff!Although the girl's voice is low, but several people in the venue can hear clearly, Du Shaoqing and Li Zhen burst into laughter instantly, Cheng Chumo's hand that was passing the steamed buns to his mouth has petrified to his mouth, looking at the little girl with resentful eyes, I really can't take a bite of this steamed bun.

"Dare to ask Mr. Cheng, is this year Gui Geng?" Du Shaoqing asked with a smile.
