Chapter 1159 Uninvited guests
"Since I think of this possibility, I will contact our people to guard against it now." Wen Xiaowu's face no longer had laughter.
Chef Hua nodded when he heard this, "It's best that our generation can wait for the new sect leader, which is our great luck. It's always right to be cautious and careful. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with the sect leader, and it's useless for us to apologize for death."
The next morning, after Mu Yingbao washed up, he ate the breakfast brought in by Nanzhu. He remembered to remind Xue Wenyu that he would buy the duck.
Unexpectedly, after eating, I put down my chopsticks, some hands came down to report that some villagers were rushing the whole group of ducks toward this side.
Mu Yingbao was going out to take a look, but Xue Wenyu did not object to accompany him. As expected, he saw that he had waved his hands and stopped him outside the camp.
"Friends, are you?" Although there was a vague answer in my heart, Mu Yingbao still asked.
"Yesterday, an adult went to our village to buy ducks, and the price was negotiated, but the Han family's wife came up. We both came over and wanted to ask, ducks, or?" the older one said carefully.
"Yes, this saves us trouble." Mu Yingbao responded with a smile.
When they saw Mu Yingbao and his two clothes and temperament, the villagers guessed that these two were probably Duke Dingguo and Mrs. Yipin.
When they heard that the transaction was counting and the duck wanted something, the two of them immediately sighed relieved and laughed.
As for whether the price will change, they are not worried that their prominent identity is here.
Mu Yingbao ordered people to collect the duck and pay the money.
The villagers who sent the ducks over also had unexpected surprises. When they arrived, dozens of ducks came. They wanted to try their luck, but they didn't expect that when Mrs. Yipin found out, she would just wave her jade hand and stay.
"By the way, I want to ask, why do you raise so many ducks in your village?" When the duck seller took the money and was about to leave, Mu Yingbao asked curiously.
"Back to my wife, that's the case. Originally, each family raised a few duck eggs and sold them to the market to exchange for some money to supplement the family's income. Half a year ago, a businessman from the capital passed by here, and the village was just staying overnight.
He was happy to drink in the evening, so he gave us advice to raise more ducks, and he would come to buy them and transport them to the capital for sale when winter is in the winter.
To be honest, my wife, we are quite suitable for raising ducks, with many streams, lakes and ponds.
There is no need to feed them food when raising ducks. They just need to release them every day and come back in the evening.
As a result, 40% of the families raise a large number of ducks.
But the problem now is that when the duck is big, there are many eggs laid in large quantities, and they cannot sell them. Eggs can be eaten as food, but no one is willing to eat ducks. They all want to sell them with money and they can buy them in pockets to supplement their household expenses.
It was about to start winter, and I didn’t see Merchant Xu picking up ducks.
Fortunately, you are here. My brothers are lucky enough to sell ducks. Otherwise, after winter, the lakes, streams and ponds will freeze, and there will be no grass or wild vegetables. What can I feed the ducks? You can't kill them all to eat, hey!" This time, the young one spoke.
Oh, so that's the case. Mu Yingbao touched his chin and thought about it. He guessed that the reason why the passing businessman wanted to transport ducks into the capital was probably because he often bought ducks in large quantities and duck feathers, which made the businessman see business opportunities?
However, the distance here is a little far from the capital. It is not to mention whether it is difficult to transport a large number of live ducks into the capital, but the cost is also higher!
Mu Yingbao thinks that the reason why the merchant has not appeared until now is that in addition to the delay in his family, there is another more reasonable reason. That is, the merchant said what he said after being drunk and made a promise that he would buy the duck.
But after sobering up, he realized that the journey was far away from the capital, and from then on, he transported ducks to the capital for sale, which was a problem of cost.
No matter how good the duck prices in Beijing are, they will not be in short supply.
"Two, go back and say to other duck-raising villagers, don't worry about the duck sales. I'll find a way to find a way to deal with the duck problems in your village." Mu Yingbao said, looking at his man, shaking his head speechlessly.
In front of outsiders, it is hard to ask him what he means, and he will talk about it when he leaves!
"Really, really?" The two duck sellers couldn't believe it.
"No, we either don't believe in the wife, or it's too sudden. I didn't expect such a good thing to happen." The older one suddenly found that the man's face turned dark, realized the danger, and quickly explained.
Sure enough, I wasn’t thinking too much. Look, after explaining this, the face of this man has eased!
"Isn't you going to set off today?" Xue Wenyu didn't bother with them, and walked back with his wife's waist, reminding her in a warm voice.
This kind of thing is not a must-have. This wife is really not afraid of worrying, she will care about wherever she goes.
"This is also an important matter that concerns people's livelihood. It can be done in half a day. By the way, you can ask someone to find the village." Mu Yingbao knew that he was not in a hurry to set off. There was only one reason for saying this, and he didn't want to suffer.
I have already arranged people to rush to the border, and I have to watch the matter if I go there too early.
If Xixiang does not take the initiative to ask for help, he cannot take the initiative to do anything here.
Otherwise, it would be thankless, especially the relationship with Xixiang is so special.
Even if you are kind enough to help them, others may not appreciate it and will doubt whether they are planning or not.
In this village, this matter about ducks is the matter of our country, Brother Hui’s people. It is also a matter that Mu Yingbao feels unshirkable.
"What, you object?" Mu Yingbao asked with a long tone.
"Don't object, don't object, Yingbao, do whatever you want, as long as you think you should do, you're happy. I'm afraid you'll be tired." Xue Wenyu hurriedly expressed his opinion.
Then he waved to a follower and ordered him to go to the yamen to pick up the village.
The yamen is in the county, and it is half an hour away from here. Mu Yingbao asked in the morning, so he went to Chef Hua again without any hesitation.
Seeing his subordinates busy customizing simple duck cages, Xue Wenyu no longer knew how to describe his mood at this moment. He was so active one by one. No one was displeased with such chores.
How could you be unhappy? Why would you not be active? They all have portions of these ducks to make delicious dishes.
Xue Wenyu thinks, don’t worry, bringing hundreds of ducks on the road, even if they catch up with a group of cattle and sheep, they will be the same.
Alas, I think Xue Wenyu's subordinates are all bloody men who have followed him to fight on the battlefield several times. Now, one of them has become a complete foodie!
"Master?" The follower who was nailed to the duck cage looked up and saw his master, looking at him with complicated eyes, feeling a little nervous. Do you think they were slow to move? The duck cage they made was too simple?
Xue Wenyu said nothing, waved his hand to signal them to continue.
What are you saying? Have you become foodies with heartache criticism? Isn't it the same for me? I really say that to them, I'm afraid these guys don't dare to refute it on the surface, and they all despise him, the master of the same foodie in their hearts. Xue Wenyu doesn't want to humiliate himself.
It’s safe to say and do what you can’t believe in!
Mu Yingbao explained some things to Chef Hua, such as preparing a few condiments and using them later.
In less than an hour, Mu Yingbao heard the rapid sound of horse hooves outside the camp.
Nearly, Laocun, who was over 60 years old, was almost disbanded by a horse. He was not just holding it up by Xue Wenyu's subordinates, and then they fell down.
"Is it okay for the old man?" Mu Yingbao felt very guilty and blamed himself for being too careless and did not explain clearly.
"Madam, the old man is fine." Lao Cun was trying hard to stand firm and responded quickly.
"I have met Duan Jiuming, and have met his wife." There was a man wearing an official robe next to me, who was also in a mess. He put his official hat on his right and went forward to greet him respectfully.
Xue Wenyu frowned, and Mu Yingbao was puzzled. He told his followers not to disturb the local officials along the way. Even if they received news, they would refuse those who came to pay their respects.
How did this guy come with him and why?
What happened to Xue Yutao? Is it better to flatter me...
