"Grandpa Huang, it looks like someone has been raising ducks for several years and helping to manage the ducks!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You have already understood human nature. How much money you pay to raise ducks may not sell them!"

The old man said unhappily, "I don't care, I just want to eat a duck today!" He said in a dull voice, "We are all going to die. If we eat a duck and our son won't buy it, what's the point of living?"

?”

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yunxi had a headache, "My grandson is here to help you!"

I don’t know why, but after the old man got sick this time, he kept telling Zhu Yunxi that he was going to die and what to do, and what to do if he couldn’t live for a few days.

"What if they don't sell it? I, the grandson of the emperor, can't just rob it openly!" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself.

"I'll do it!" Li Jinglong said with a smile on the side, "Isn't it just a duck? If he doesn't sell it, I will throw down the money and run away after catching him!" As he said that, he took out two shining silver coins from his waist.

, continued to laugh, "Seeing this, what kind of duck can't you buy?"

After speaking, Li Jinglong saluted and strode towards the ducks.

On Zhu Yunxi's side, he got off the sedan chair and jumped to watch.

But as soon as Li Jinglong passed by, the duck farmer rowed away in a small boat, leaving only the ducks on the river.

"Why!"

"I said!"

Remember https://m in one second.

"Duck farmer!"

Li Jinglong stood on the shore and shouted several times, but the sky was filled with the quacking of ducks. The duck farmer walked further and further away and could not hear it at all.

"This..." Li Jinglong looked back and saw that the emperor and the emperor's grandson were looking at him. If he went back empty-handed, wouldn't he be scolded?

Looking at the duck group again, he gritted his teeth and said, "We'll talk about it after we catch it. Nothing can be more important than making the emperor happy. Just catch it first and send someone to give you money later!"

Thinking of this, I took off my shoes and socks and stepped into the water with my bare feet.

"Hiss!" The spring water looked warm but was actually cool, and Li Jinglong's eyebrows suddenly knitted together.

But I can’t worry too much now and keep moving forward.

"Ouch!" I just took two steps, and the soles of my feet hurt, as if I had stepped on a grass root.

Continuing forward, he slowly touched the gray-headed duck pointed by the old man. The water had reached the waist and eyes. Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, the duck seemed to feel the danger and looked at the water in the river with some vigilance.

people.

"Don't run, don't run, let me catch you!" Li Jinglong thought silently.

Suddenly, his spine felt a little dangerous. After all, he was a military commander who had been on the battlefield, and his sense of security was no better than others. When he looked back, he almost screamed.

On the water, several big white geese opened their wings, extended their necks, and opened their long mouths, and they seemed to be flying straight towards him.

"It's broken!" Li Jinglong cursed secretly.

At the same time, fluttering wings had already slapped his face, and then his cheek hurt, and he was bitten twice by the goose.

"Grandma's!"

Li Jinglong waved his arms wildly, his center of gravity was unsteady and he fell directly into the water.

"Cough! Cough!"

After taking two sips of the river water with duck droppings in it, Li Jinglong ran towards the shore. However, several geese were chasing after him.

Geese are actually more protective of the family than dogs.

The duck farmer can walk away casually because there are so many big geese next to the duck flock.

Li Jinglong came ashore in embarrassment. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes when several geese chased him. The momentum seemed to treat Li Jinglong like a bug and would not stop until he was pecked to death.

"Ouch!"

Zhu Yunxi heard Li Jinglong scream, covered his buttocks and jumped very high, and then ran in this direction without wearing shoes. Several big geese behind him stretched their necks and chased after him.

"Fu Rang, Fu Rang!" Li Jinglong shouted as he ran, "Shoot them! Hurry!"

As I was running, I suddenly stumbled and fell down with a thud. Several big geese pounced on me, covering my face with a slap in the face.

Along the canal, Li Jinglong was screaming.

"Hahahaha!" The old man and Zhu Yunxi laughed so much that they burst into tears. The other guards could not stand up straight either.

"Silly porcelain!" the old man laughed, "my majesty, let a few geese chase you all over the ground! Haha! They haven't run away yet!"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't stop laughing, "Go quickly and rescue him, don't be embarrassed!"

Several guards came forward and drove the goose away with punches and kicks. Li Jinglong got up with a muddy face. It was obvious that several spots on his face had been pecked green, and there were a few strands of goose feathers on his lips.

He was dejected when suddenly a barking dog came from behind him.

Several nearby duck farmers saw someone stealing ducks and rushed over with their dogs and forks holding manure.

"Don't get away, duck thief!"

"Catch him and send him to the government!"

Li Jinglong ran away again.

The old man also said quickly, "Quick, run!"

Several guards carried the old man and ran away in a hurry. Zhu Yunxi was beside him and also ran after him.

"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi said, out of breath after running, "We didn't steal any ducks, so why are we running?"

"Li Jinglong is with us!" the old man said loudly, "I can't tell! Run!"

~~~

I don’t know how long I ran, but I stopped in front of a market.

This place obviously sells cooked food, and the air is full of fragrance.

The old man's nose moved, "What does it smell like? It's so fragrant!"

Zhu Yunxi looked forward and saw a stall selling dog meat. The cooked dog meat was tumbling in a big pot, and people around him were rushing to buy it.

In front of the clinking chopping board, a woman in her twenties quickly used a hook to take the dog meat out of the pot, and then the kitchen knife flew up and down, turning it into pieces of meat.

The woman is tall, with a stained apron around her thin waist, and the sleeves on her arms are rolled up, revealing two brittle arms. She has an oval face, eyebrows with willow leaves, and beads of sweat on her cheeks.

Following the rhythm of the kitchen knife in his hand, his chest rises and falls in a beautiful rhythm.

The people buying meat around were all swallowing their saliva.

The old man looked at it for a long time and then said, "Go over and eat it!" After saying that, he stopped sitting in the sedan chair, stood up, and walked tremblingly towards the other side.

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly went up to help him, but when he turned back inadvertently, he found an embarrassed Li Jinglong looking around.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Li Jinglong had a grimace on his face and said, "Look, there is no one selling shoes!" He lowered his head and said, "The soles of my feet are broken!"

"That's right!" Zhu Yunxi scolded with a smile and helped the old man to the stall.

The old man looked left and right, his nose moved, and he pushed forward, "Girl, how much does it cost per pound?"

The woman selling the meat said without even raising her head, "Ten yuan a catty!"

"What?" The old man grinned, "Expensive? We ate out for the past two years, and it was only seven miles away!"

"As you said, that was the price in the past few years!" The woman continued to chop the meat, wrapped it up and handed it to a buyer. She wiped the chopping board quickly and said with a smile, "This year, that's the price!"

The old man said in a low voice, "It's not a good thing, why is it so expensive!"

"The more people eat it, the more expensive it becomes!" The woman smiled beautifully, with dimples on her cheeks, cheerful and generous, "In the past, no one could afford it, so it was cheap! In the past few years, during the prosperous times of Hongwu, it has become more popular among the people.

If you have spare money, wouldn’t it be expensive if you don’t have enough delicious food and drink to sell?”

With the words "Hongwu's prosperous age", the old man's eyes were filled with laughter.

The woman smiled again and said, "In my father's generation, we couldn't sell even two dogs a day. Now I'm guarding the canal, and I can't even sell five dogs a day. Isn't it too late? Some members have money outside, but on the first day

Just ask someone to send you money and order it for fifteen pounds per pound, no counter-offering!"

"You girl know how to do business!" The old man said with a smile, "Okay, come here..." He said, looking at the people around him, "Ten pounds, please bring slices and fat!"

"Okay, you can make it while you're at it, and I'll give you a tail to chew on! This skill of mine is passed down from my family. After eating it this time, you'll want to do it next time!" With that, the woman hooked half a tail out of the pot and asked,

"Big bits, smaller bits!"

"Of course you have to eat big pieces of meat!" The old man smiled, turned back to Zhu Yunxi and said, "Give me money!"

"Grandpa, please sit down first!" Zhu Yunxi helped the old man sit down, turned around and shouted, "Old Li, come here and give me the money!"

Li Jinglong didn't know where to get a pair of shoes. He put one foot on, and kept the other foot in his hand to put it on. He jumped up and down on the ground, "Come on, come on, I'll give you the money!"

Sitting on the table, the guard took out a handkerchief and wiped the table clean. Someone went to the stall next to him and bought some fresh green onion pancakes, etc. He pointed at Li Jinglong and asked the vendor to ask him for money.

The old man is also weird. He doesn't eat in big restaurants and loves small stalls like this.

After a while, two large pots of dog meat came up.

The old man directly grabbed a piece of skin and stuffed it into his mouth without even chewing, "Well, good!"
