At this critical moment, Chen Nianguan was quite thankful that his eyes were sharp, and he saw a shoulder beside him that he hadn't had time to hide. He grabbed it instantly, and with his strength, he threw himself into the secret passage.

Still in shock, I heard an "Aw", and then a series of "Aw" screams.

It's Liu Feng.

Chen Nianguan couldn't care less about the smell, and quickly stretched out his head, seeing Liu Feng screaming miserably and falling towards the cesspit.

Just now, it was Cousin Liu Feng who let me use my strength to get out of the crisis!

"Cousin!"

Chen Nianguan was helpless, with tears in his eyes, watching Liu Feng was about to fall into the cesspit and become the human bomb that covered the wall with dung and hair. The four beasts that retracted also poked their heads out, shocked, tsk tsk to see this great spectacle.

Fortunately, Liu Feng's life should not die.

But seeing a figure swish up and down a few times, he grabbed Liu Feng's foot, avoiding Liu Feng's worst end.

It's Xiao You.

Chen Nianguan breathed a sigh of relief and was moved, thankful that he had persuaded Xiao You to be his bodyguard early on.

The big guy is the big guy, he was so good at it, he successfully rescued Liu Feng from danger.

Ah, it is still a little bit close to success.

Chen Nianguan with good eyes saw that Liu Feng avoided being buried in the cesspit, but his long hair inevitably fell into, um, the cesspit.

So Xiao You carried Liu Feng up, and when he threw it into the secret passage, everyone was afraid that the splashed dung would get on him, so they avoided it one after another.

General Liu Feng came back to his senses from the danger, lying on the ground, and suddenly called out "Aoooooooooooo", probably because he was frightened.

"Cousin, Xiaofeng, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! It's alright, it's alright!" Chen Nianguan leaned over, guilty enough to comfort his cousin, but as soon as he leaned in, the stuff on his hair stinks, Liu FengWanting to get up, Chen Nianguan forcibly held him down.

"No, first, wash your head, your hair, first."

In Kemidao, where can clean water wash hair?

In desperation, Liu Feng took off his outer coat and wrapped his hair all up, making his appearance as embarrassing as it could be, as ugly as it could be.

Chen Nianguan squatted beside him, seeing his cousin wanting to cry but not crying, feeling ashamed and annoyed, he apologized with guilt: "Xiaofeng, it's my cousin's fault. At that moment, my cousin was in a hurry, and she stretched out her hand, just..."

At that life-threatening moment, holding on to the life-saving straw around her was her first reaction, and she didn't think about anything else.

"Xiaofeng Xiaofeng, my cousin is sorry for you."

If Liu He really fell into the cesspit just now, Chen Nianguan didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"It's okay, cousin, I, I will take the lead! It's better for me to fall into the cesspit than my cousin to fall into the cesspit." Liu Feng said with a face that the matter has come to an end, and I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell makes a heroic sacrifice.

He is a man, if a man falls into a cesspit, he can just wash it off, the worst thing is to be called a cesspit little man with a smile!

If the cousin fell into the cesspit, even if she was cleaned up later, her reputation would be bad.

Whose wife still feels alive after falling into a cesspit?I am afraid that will also find a way to die.

So Liu Feng blinked tears, and looked at Chen Nianguan with aggrieved eyes: "As long as my cousin remembers, the best cousin for you is me, Liu Feng."

"Yes, I just found out today that among my cousins, Xiaofeng is the best to me." Chen Nianguan nodded vigorously.

It can be said that Liu Feng has saved his life, so he is naturally the best cousin to him!

At some point, Jiang Yu, who had fled outside, got into the secret passage, with a livid face, and together with the four beasts, he helped up the broken door that had fallen to the ground, and blocked the door forcibly. Although it was still crumbling, but compared toI just let the smell of dung pour in, and it's much better.

"Let's go!" Jiang Yu couldn't stand the smell of the secret road any longer, and hurried to the return road quickly.

Chen Nianguan and others also fled in embarrassment.

After walking a long way, Jiang Yu opened his mouth and said that the exit of the secret road is a farm just outside the city, which specializes in buying night incense from people in the city and selling it to farmers as fertilizer for a living.

Such a secret road, why did they dig to the farmer's Yexiang gathering place?

Chen Nianguan and others tried their best but couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to pursue it.

After tossing and tossing all night, didn't find any treasures, not to mention nothing, and almost had an accident. Everyone was depressed and lacked interest.

The steps to go back this way are very heavy.

Especially there is a young gentleman with a gown covering his head beside him, who emits a stench from time to time, but he cannot avoid it.

When they finally walked back to the three-way intersection, everyone stopped—except Liu Feng, who told him to go back to the upper shop early, so as not to stink from time to time.

Everyone stayed up all night and was very tired, but tired still had to face the big problem of secret passage.

Originally, if the other end of the ice cellar was not dug through, the secret passage would only lead in three directions, but now that the ice cellar was dug through, there would be an additional secret passage, and it would lead to the ice cellar at home. Isn't this equivalent to digging one's own grave?

I don't know how many people know about this secret passage. If someone walks in the secret passage, they will touch the other side of their own ice cellar.Set up an isolating wall.

Chen Nianguan helped the forehead.

I think I didn't find the treasure, and I found something for myself to come back, which is troublesome.

So, I used the baskets of soil I dug out to fill up the tunnel I dug, and filled the outermost part of the secret passage with a thick earth wall.The walls of the original secret passage remained the same, so that no one could see the difference.

Then fill the soil along the secret road circuit, and tamp it down to rebuild the soil wall.

Finally, on the other side of the stone wall, went back to the ice cellar and dragged a few cypress boards to block the entrance, and then filled the passage all the way. The section near the ice cellar was not enough to fill with mud. Fortunately, when the coolies and masons were dismissed yesterday, they dug it out.The few baskets of yellow mud had had not been moved out, so filled them with bricks and yellow mud, and finally filled back the dug passage.

In the future, building another wall at the passage will completely plug this loophole.

After finishing all this, when everyone returned to the ice shop on the ground, they saw that the sky had already turned pale.

Liu Feng, who was alone in the ice shop, had already dozed off on his stomach, nodding his head.

After waking up Liu Feng, everyone was going back to Liuhua Lane to freshen up.

He opened the door of the shop, drove the donkey cart out, and parted ways with Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu walked a few steps, then turned back, and said to them with a sulky face: "You are not allowed to say a word about what happened last night."

For the sake of the treasure that Zi Wuxu had, he listened to the foot of the bed, went to the mass grave, and almost stumbled and fell into the Yexiang Pond. If this matter was told, the face of the Jiang family would be lost in minutes.

Chen Nianguan expressed his understanding, and promised Jiang Yu not to tell with a smile.

Only then did Jiang Yu feel relieved to leave.

Tsk, back then, who said that there would be treasures in the secret path?

Chen Nianguan glanced at Liu Feng, and Liu Feng, who had a big bag on his head, happened to look back at his cousin, and both of them saw the other's haggard face with dark circles under their eyes, and turned their heads away with a snort.From the bottom of my heart, there was soul contempt!

Tsk, who else?

Who said it?

And who believed it?

A group of people returned to Liuhua Lane when there were no passers-by on the street. The clerk in the shop that opened the door for them felt strange, but didn't ask much, and everyone went their own way.

When Liu Feng entered the room, the second aunt got up.

Not long after, there was the sound of Liu Feng being whipped "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" was the sound of being whipped came from the room.

Then the second aunt roared angrily: "You crazy bastard, why did you smell so bad? Did you fall into the cesspit?"

The corners of Chen Nianguan's eyes twitched.

But no, that is, almost fell into the cesspit?

Then I went back to my own room, and woke up Sister Fang to help carry a bucket of hot water into the room. She cleaned her whole body and changed into clean clothes. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to dressIn front of the stage, like a puppet with indescribable emotions.

I HAVE, ah no, SHE HAVE A DREAM!!

She has a dream.

She dreamed that she would be a noble princess after crossing over, with a clean and peaceful era, a clean and fair court, a wise and powerful emperor, and concubines in the palace.

Then she lived a luxurious life, rich and prosperous, and recruited a rich and handsome son-in-law to live her life in peace.

She has a dream.

She dreamed that after wearing it, she would have a golden finger, a "golden" finger, a veritable "golden" finger that turns a stone into gold. When there is a lack of silver, just take a stone and touch it to become gold.thing.

Then she bought tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, countless mansions, hundreds of beautiful maidservants and servants, and lived a leisurely life.

She still has a dream.

In the middle of the struggle, had an adventure, and discovered the treasures accumulated in the basement of the previous dynasty, which contained countless jewels, thousands of boxes of gold and silver, and countless silks and satins.

Then she searched for a land with beautiful mountains and clear waters, built countless farms, bought countless mountains and forests, and spent every day either to escape the summer heat or take vacations.

...

Unfortunately, last night, her dream of reaching the pinnacle of her life and becoming a grand slam winner was completely shattered, shattered.

Tsk, if she is not given such hope, why should she be disappointed?

Wake up!You are just a small family girl.

Unable to wake up!It's good to have a sweet dream first!

Chen Nianguan was quite melancholy, collapsed on the bed, stretched his thighs, and lay down on the corpse.

When Chen Nianguan woke up again, it was Liu Yun who came into the room to wake him up.

"What's the matter?" Chen Nianguan didn't get enough sleep and yawned.

"Then, shopkeeper Lu asked someone to tell you that Master Zeng from the East Store is looking for you, and asked my cousin to go there when you have time."

Master Zeng?

Why are you looking for her?

After Chen Nianguan washed up, he changed into a gentleman's attire, and went to the Chenjia Pho West Shop with Xiao You.

Master Zeng was sitting not far from the entrance, drinking a cup of sour plum soup, and on the table was a plate of jerky in sauce.

"Master Zeng!" Chen Nianguan went over to greet him.

"Miss Chen Si!" Master Zeng watched Chen Nianguan sit down, and shook the sour plum soup in his hand, "Miss Chen Si, you are so outrageous about this!"

"What's not authentic?" Chen Nianguan just asked, and noticed that Master Zeng was looking at the sour plum soup, understood, and clapped his hands, "Hey, do you mean this sour plum soup? Master Zeng?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm talking about?" Master Zeng said, taking another sip of sour plum soup, heaving a sigh of relief, "When the Qian'er store was not open, your Master Chen told us that we wanted the Chen family store to launchWhat new products, our branch stores will also teach you? Miss Chen Si forgot so quickly? It is clearly written in the contract!"

"I have not forgotten, this sour plum soup is now available in the west store, not the main store in Funing County!" Chen Nianguan explained, "If you don't believe it, you can go back to Funing County and ask, the main store sells sour plum soupNo?"

Master Zeng naturally didn't sell sour plum soup in the main store in Funing County.

He came to Prefecture City from Funing County.

I also helped the main store in Funing County, but when I came to Prefecture City, I saw that there were fewer diners in the store than usual, and some people asked, "They are all Chen's rice noodles shops, why is the other restaurant giving free sour plum soup?The store won't send it?"

"That's right! Is your shop really the Chenjia Pho shop? Is it the same shop as the West shop?"

Master Zeng asked someone to clarify, and everything became clear.

He hadn't seen the main store in Funing County sell this sour plum soup. Miss Chen Si is now in Prefecture City, so she probably made fresh drinks, so she supplied them to the western store first. The main store didn't have time, and neither did their branches.

But the business of the east store was deserted, and it is a fact that many diners were taken away by the west store.

So, Master Zeng came to the door to inquire about the teacher, and by the way, he came up with a way to make sour plum soup.

As soon as you enter the door, you don't eat anything, first try the free sour plum soup in the store.

Well, the taste, tsk tsk, refreshing and appetizing, after eating it, the appetite increases, and want to eat something so comfortable.

It's no wonder that many regular customers will be taken away. Shouldn't you hurry up and ask Miss Chen Si to teach the recipe and learn how to do it?

Chen Nianguan knew about it, so he immediately called his little uncle to the back kitchen to call Liu Chi out, and told him that Master Zeng would send a cook to learn how to make sour plum soup in a few days.

Liu Chi said he knew, and welcomes the cooks from the East Store to learn from him at any time.

Master Zeng was satisfied with this.

"Well, Mr. Zeng, you don't know something. In a few days, the ice shop I opened will open. Your Dongdian is also a member of our Chenjia Pho shop. If you need it, come to our shop to buy ice. I will give it to you.Make a discount." Chen Nianguan did not forget to take the opportunity to promote the ice shop to attract business, "Other friends of Mr. Zeng who are in need are welcome to come to our store!"

"Selling ice?" Master Zeng's eyes widened, "Just, just you?"

"Not only me, but also the Jiang family of Prefecture City." Chen Nianguan blinked innocently.

"Which Jiang family?"

"The most famous Jiang family in Prefecture City!"

"Is that the Jiang family with the empress in the palace?"

Chen Nianguan nodded.

Master Zeng was amazed.

Miss Chen Si kept silent, and in the blink of an eye, she started a business with that Jiangfu, what a skill!

Master Zeng originally wanted to ask where the ice cubes in Chen Nianguan's shop came from, but he misunderstood when he heard that he was cooperating with the Jiangfu.He didn't ask too much, and when he left, he went back to the house with a teapot full of sour plum soup and savored it slowly.

Master Zeng's arrival reminded Chen Nianguan that the main store in Funing County still doesn't serve iced honeysuckle tea and iced sour plum soup. She has to go back and teach Liu Shan to let them start selling sour plum soup.

Moreover, the scallop sauce brought to Prefecture City has received a good response, and it is time to officially sell it on the shelves. have to remind aunt that they can cook in large quantities.

When came back, happened to be able to bring back the oyster sauce ordered from the West Store.

So, he asked Steward Wang to check the progress of the ice cellar with Liu Yang and others. At noon that day, Chen Nianguan took Xiao You and two big beasts as guards, and drove the donkey cart back to Funing County.

Chen Nianguan They are the group of people who caught up with the city gate just before it was closed.

Among the crowd queuing outside the city gate, Chen Nianguan saw a slender lady in the line, carrying a bundle, asking a man in front of her: "This is a good man, please tell me, the cityWhere is Yanlai Lane inside? How to get there?"

"Girl, are you here to visit relatives in Funing County?" The man looked back at the girl and asked with a smile.

"That's right, look, the girl doesn't look like someone from our land, where did she come from?"

A big man at the back also asked with a smile, sizing up the lady without fear.

"Yes, I'm not from Funing County. The first time I came here, I came to find my employer. I heard that her family lives in Yanlai Lane." The lady told the truth as if she had no city.

Chen Nianguan had just been robbed, and his vigilance was greatly increased. Seeing this lady not only walking alone, but also daring to talk to a stranger, she was inexplicably a little anxious.

Hey, this lady is really like the self who pretended to be a young man and ran around with old man Xu!

Chen Nianguan just muttered, then heard the lady say again: "By the way, my boss opened a shop called Chenjia Hor Noodle Shop, and the brothers in the family said that the shop is very famous in Funing County. Is it true?"?”

She couldn't help being stunned.

Isn't she the owner of the Chen's rice noodle shop?

She also lives in Yanlai Lane, so, this girl with a bigger heart than her is here to find her?

"Haven't you heard of the Chen Family Pho Shop?"

Chen Nianguan cast a look at Xiao You, and was about to call out to the lady, when he heard the burly man screaming, and then his whole body was lifted up by the thin and frail lady with one hand.

"My good man, you are kind enough to tell me how to get to Yanlai Lane. I am very grateful, but don't do it casually, okay? I hate such unruly people like you the most."

The little lady's actions caused an uproar in the team, and even the officers and soldiers guarding the gate had to come out to maintain order.

Under the accusation of the officers and soldiers, the little lady had no choice but to let him go. Hearing the bad words of the people behind her, she looked back.

Chen Nianguan touched his forehead when he saw the immature face.

She remembered that she once asked the Dou brothers if there were any female escorts with strong martial arts skills. They seemed to recommend their own cousin, called Si Ya?

If it was her, it would be understandable to dare to come to Funing County alone.

"Xiao You, can you see that this girl has high martial arts skills?" Chen Nianguan asked in a low voice.

Xiao You glanced at her and shook his head.

Is it because can't see it, or because martial arts skills are not high?

Xiao You didn't say anything, Chen Nianguan didn't want to ask more questions, and then saw that the little lady had turned her head away and wanted to call someone, but seeing the messy queue, she decided to go to the city to talk.

Seeing the officers and soldiers inspecting Si Ya's road guide and entering the city, Chen Nianguan called out: "Si Ya? Si Ya!"

Si Ya turned her head to look at the strange girl who called out her name, surprise flashed across her face.

"Is it Si Ya? You, wait at the other end first." Chen Nianwan said, "I am the owner of the Chen Family Rice Noodle Shop, your owner."

Si Ya was taken aback for a moment, then smiled silly with surprise, and then looked at Chen Nianguan warily, as if you don't lie to me.

After entering the city gate, Chen Nianguan walked up to Si Ya, introduced himself and Xiao You, and offered to take her to the Chenjia Pho Shop to verify her identity if she didn't believe it.

Si Ya looked young, and looked like she was not uncompromising towards others, but it wasn't that she had no defense against others.

After all, it is impossible for someone who has been in the escort company to know nothing about the world.

After arriving at the rice noodle shop, everyone in the shop had affirmed that Chen Nianwan was the owner of the rice noodle shop, Siya finally believed it, took out the letter of recommendation from the Dou brothers to Chen Nianwan, and started eatingLiu He brought out the rice noodle soup for her.

"Si Ya, why did you come here alone? Your family is so relieved!"

"I didn't come here alone. My second uncle and Brother Xiaoshuan sent me here, but I thought they were walking slowly, so I went ahead and came here by myself."

While talking to Chen Nianguan, Si Ya finished three ????? portions of fried rice noodles, a roast duck, a plate of dried pork in sauce, and half a plate of char siu, and Chen Nianguan's eyes twitched as he watched.

This happened to be the amount that Liu He sent up to satisfy the hunger of the three of them. Si Ya ate it all by herself, and said to Liu He unsatisfied: "Please have another chicken soup rice noodle and a vegetarian fried rice noodle, and give me another."Two tea eggs."

Si Ya eats a lot, the Dou brothers mentioned it, and Chen Nianguan knows about it, but seeing how quickly she places orders now, she is also very familiar with it. guess she often goes to the Dou brothers' store to eat and drink when she is at home..

Speaking of the Dou brothers, Chen Nianguan asked them about the business in their store. Si Ya talked while eating, and learned that the business in their store was the most popular in their small county.Brother's pho shop can't open, it will go bankrupt.

Chen Nianguan brought Xiao You and Si Ya back to Yan Lai Lane after the pho shop closed.

That's why Si Ya completely believed that Chen Nianguan was the master of the guard job introduced by his cousin.

On the other hand, Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye didn't believe it.

Well, Liu Ye lived in Yanlai Lane, as Liu Shi said, to keep Xuan Xuan company, and to study together.

"Sister, sister, she is only a little bit old, how can she protect you? Have you been deceived?"

Xuan Xuan pointed to Si Ya and asked.

"She doesn't look much older than Sister Liu Ye!"

"It's not the same age, I'm already thirteen years old today." Si Ya retorted, "It's different from you little kids who are a little bit bigger."

"Why is it different?"

Si Ya looked at the yard, went to the corner and raised the stone mill with one hand.

Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye's pupils trembled.

Si Ya held her breath, kicked up with one leg, kicked the big stone slab on the Sifang platform aside and fell to the ground.

Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye gasped.

Si Ya...

"Si Ya!" Chen Nianguan called out to Si Ya helplessly.

Si Ya, who was stretching out her hands and breathing to prepare to cast an iron fist, hastened to salute Chen Nianguan respectfully: "Master!"

"Okay, I'll ask Aunt Lian to settle it down for you. You can follow her to wash up and have a good rest."

"Thank you, my boss."

Si Ya went down obediently, Xuan Xuan grabbed Chen Nianguan's hand and shook it: "Sister, sister, that Si Ya sister is so powerful, is she like brother Xiao You, who can fly up to the eaves with one click?"

"Cousin, cousin, can we ask Sister Si Ya to teach me to make us become so powerful?" Liu Ye was excited.

"Sister Si Ya is so talented, even if you teach her, you won't be able to learn it."

Chen Nianguan finally persuaded the two little girls, and then went into the main room to find Liu's business experience.
