Chapter 64 Chili

Xiao Jiading couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and felt a little heavy. After standing for a while, he felt better. He treated the vomit in the wooden basin in the corner of the house, put it in clean water and washed it. After that, he locked the door and came out, left the yamen, and came to Yu Gui's snack shop.

The lamb skewers were waiting for longer here than before. More people should have known the news and were waiting for the sale. In addition to Loulan, there were two more women in charge of barbecue, one was a middle-aged woman and the other was a young woman. They were so busy that they were too busy.

When Loulan, who was busy with barbecuing, saw her and immediately gave the skewers half of the barbecued lamb skewers in her hand to the young woman next to her. She trotted over excitedly and looked at him happily: "Brother Xiao, you are here!"

"Yeah, the business is good."

"It's not what you taught me by my elder brother. Dad said that the money I earned in the past few days is more than I earned in the previous month!"

"Hehe! Isn't that good?"

"Stop standing at the door, go in!" Loulan walked in affectionately with his arm. After all, he was a foreign woman, without the reserve of a Han woman and generous.

The two entered the house like a couple and came to the elegant seat specially prepared for Xiao Jiading. Yu Gui also came to greet him. Seeing his daughter accompanying him, he said he would prepare breakfast. Then when he went out, only Xiao Jiading and Loulan were left in the house.

Seeing that he was in poor spirits, Loulan asked with concern: "What's wrong? I feel uncomfortable?"

"Well, I got drunk yesterday. I had a headache."

"Oh, then I'll rub it for you!" After saying that, Loulan stood up, stood behind Xiao Jiading, and began to give him a head massage.

Loulan's technique is very professional, just right in weight, massage was developed with traditional Chinese medicine. By the Tang Dynasty, it was quite mature and had the effect of medical care.

Xiao Jiading closed his eyes and enjoyed it, saying, "I can't tell, Loulan, you know this trick."

"Hehe, I learned from others. When my parents and sister-in-law were uncomfortable, I would give them a massage, and they said it was good."

"The two barbecue outside are your mother and sister-in-law? Why haven't you seen them before?"

"Yes, they were farming in the countryside. In the past, there were not many people in the shop and they didn't need their help, so they didn't let them come. Now they are too busy, so they asked them to help, leaving only their brother to farm in the countryside."

"Oh? Your brother can farm? Then can he grow vegetables?"

"This has never been grown. Brother Xiao wants to find someone to grow vegetables?"

Xiao Jiading thought that Loulan was really Lan Xinhuizhi, and immediately understood his thoughts, and said, "Yes, I bought a piece of land and prepared to grow something. I want to find someone who can grow vegetables to help."

"Then why don't you look for your cousin? His family grows vegetables. It's such a big garden."

"My cousin?" Xiao Jiading was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that Loulan was talking about the old man Xiao. In order to fill in the road sign, he pretended to be his distant nephew. "I didn't tell him that he might be too busy."

"Oh." Loulan didn't know much about Old Man Xiao, so she had no other tricks, "Or what if I ask my brother and let him help you?"

"Forget it, he is busy farming, and that one cannot do without it. You just reminded me, and I'll go to ask my cousin later. Even if he can't be busy, he can find a way to help me find someone."

At this time, Yu Gui came in with breakfast and saw Loulan giving Xiao Jiading a massage, and smiled knowingly.

After a massage at Loulan, Xiao Jiading's headache was indeed greatly reduced. He was very happy and praised Loulan for being very powerful.

After he had breakfast, when he went out, Yu Gui introduced his wife and daughter-in-law. They heard that he was the one who taught them the barbecue cumin lamb, so they gave their salutes and were very intimate.

Because of the headache today and Huang Shiyun's affairs, he got up just dawn. It was still early to go to the yamen. So after Xiao Jiading left the snack shop, he bought some gifts and then found Xiao's home according to the address mentioned by the old man Xiao.

When Old Man Xiao saw Xiao Jiading coming to the door, he was very surprised. He quickly let him go to the house and asked his family to come out to meet him. There were people in the room, including men, women, young and old. It seemed that they were a big family.

Old Man Xiao introduced that Xiao Jiading's identity was his distant nephew, and now he was a robber for the county magistrate in the yamen. When these people heard this, their intimate attitude towards Xiao Jiading increased a little awe and joy. After all, there were relatives who worked in the yamen and those who worked by the county magistrate in this way, naturally they had a bright face.

Xiao Jiading said he wanted to look around, so Old Man Xiao led him around. Old Man Xiao's house was actually very small, and most of the homesteads were used to grow vegetables. This was the main source of their family's life and the business was pretty good. Not only did they support a whole family, but they also raised several servants and maids. Among them was the Sanniang who Xiao Jiading helped last time.

Old Man Xiao’s vegetable fields were grown in some vegetables, with very few varieties, because during the Tang Dynasty, many vegetables had not been imported into China. Among them were the chili peppers prepared by Xiao Jiading.

Although Old Man Xiao’s vegetable fields are quite large, they are far behind those of Xiao Family Ding. Xiao Family Ding glanced at him and asked Old Man Xiao: “How much money can these vegetable fields make in a year?”

"Well..." Old Man Xiao thought for a while and said, "The net profit is about twenty or thirty cents."

Xiao Jiading nodded, looked at him and said, "I miss your cousin, you guys discuss something. - I pay thirty cents a year, and ask your whole family to help me grow a medicinal material, which is similar to growing vegetables. I wonder if you are interested?"

Xiao Jiading did not say it was a condiment, but he was careful about it. He had to do this unique business alone.

Old Man Xiao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "The salary of thirty cents a year? This..., nephew, this salary is too high, you are at a loss."

Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "We are all one family, and we don't speak two families. My land is right next to the yamen. Are you willing to do it, cousin?"

The wife and children of Old Man Xiao who were following behind were excited and made Old Man Xiao agree quickly. This transaction can not only earn high wages from Xiao Jiading, but also sublet the vegetable fields here to others to plant. That is equivalent to making double the money. If you don’t agree to such a good thing, you will be a fool.

Old Man Xiao said embarrassedly: "Of course it's good to help your nephew grow medicinal materials. But the wages are too high..."

Xiao Jiading thought, if the peppers are grown, they will be rich, so how could they care about this little money? He smiled and said, "It's better to be taller. You can also help me grow this medicinal material with all your heart, which is beneficial to everyone."

Old Man Xiao’s wife quickly accompanied her smile and said, “Don’t worry, nephew, we will definitely plant good things with our hearts. If it doesn’t plant well, we will not have the face to get money, right?” She poked Old Man Xiao, begging her face, and asked her husband to agree quickly.

Xiao Jiading said, "Okay, then let's make up, right uncle." Xiao Jiading looked at Old Man Xiao.

Old Man Xiao smiled gratefully and nodded: "That's why I'm so generous. Don't worry, my family has grown vegetables for many years and has grown medicinal materials. I dare not say that the whole Yizhou is the best, at least I won't lose to others. So there is no problem, please don't worry."

"Okay! Then let's go and see the land now. You can start construction today. My land is very big, so you are afraid it will be harder than now."

Old Man Xiao didn't believe that there was a vegetable field larger than his own in Yizhou City. But when the family followed Xiao Jiading to the ground, Old Man Xiao was shocked.

Looking at the vast and vast land that was much larger than his vegetable field, Old Man Xiao came to his senses for a while and said, "This..., do you need to plant all of this?"

"Yes, otherwise, how could I offer you high wages?"

“That’s that’s that’s it.”

"Can you get it?"

"Yes! We are all a whole family. There is no problem."

"Then please."

When they came, the shop on the street had already started. Because Zhu Haiyin was fully responsible for taking care of it, Xiao Jiading didn't take care of it. He set out another piece of land as the homestead for his own house. On the other end, a small piece of land was also set up to build a simple residence for Old Man Xiao and his family to live in, so that they could manage the vegetable fields so that they could not run back and forth.

After Xiao Jiading cut out these two places, he told Lao Han Xiao that they could start construction to loosen the soil.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Xiao Jiading said goodbye and returned to the yamen.

When he walked into the yamen, he saw Huang Lushi from afar. He was looking at him with a searching gaze. He knew that he was concerned about helping him with Meiyan to serve as the workshop office, so he nodded with a smile.

Huang Lushi immediately understood that the matter had been done, and his eyes showed ecstasy, but it was soon calmed down. He smiled and nodded at Xiao Jiading, and then walked away.

Seeing Huang Lushi, Xiao Jiading remembered his daughter Huang Shiyun again. He probably didn't go home all night after delivering her drink. Maybe the old guy thought he had sex with her daughter. He hesitated to explain to Huang Lushi, but he didn't know how to speak. Seeing that he walked away, he was too lazy to explain.

He came to the signing room, where Shutong Wenyan was already there and was cleaning. Seeing Xiao Jiading come in, he bowed and said, "Zhiyi, County Magistrate Kang sent someone to say that he would arrive later, so you can handle anything first."

Xiao Jiading said oh, knowing that County Magistrate Kang must have drunk high last night like him and couldn't get a headache in the morning. After all, he was much younger than him and would feel better the next day.

He sat down behind several cases, feeling a little weak, so he didn't want to work for a while and sat there drinking water.

At this time, County Magistrate Deng came in, bowed with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Xiao Zhiyi!"
