Chapter 24 The Big-Belly Man

Ziyu shook her head and refused the braised pork handed over by the rough man, because the white color was the same as boiled meat.

 She lost her appetite at first sight, let alone letting Ziyu eat it. She was afraid of spoiling her stomach, so she didn't dare to let it go to Xiao Luo.

The rough man unceremoniously took a bite of half a big steamed bun and a piece of braised pork. He ate it deliciously without even taking a sip of water.

 Two large packages of steamed buns and a small package of meat. After eating Zi Yugang's two steamed buns, he finished them all.

With the unfinished expression, Ziyu always felt that he was not full, so she asked tentatively.

 “Uncle, would you like some more?”

 This does not take into account other factors on the road. Generally speaking, it takes at least one and a half months to complete half of the journey.

"Deal! My name is Ziyu. The person in the car is my younger brother Ziluo, who is three years old." The two high-fived and made a verbal contract.

 Although everyone is walking on the same road, they still keep a corresponding distance from each other, and no one deliberately gets closer.

By the time the two of them came out after solving their internal emergency, the door of the small courtyard had been locked, and the mules had been unloaded to eat grass and drink water.

Yuegu County to Shangdu Prefecture is separated by two counties and a plain, a distance of nearly a thousand miles.

Ziyu, who had an extra guard, realized that this man didn't even have a donkey and had to walk to Xanadu Mansion on his own feet.

There are two older brothers in the family, and they are all married and living separately. Because I have been a big eater since I was a child, I was sent to the **** agency to work as a handyman at the age of ten to make ends meet.

 Because with his appetite, his family could only live a mediocre life with dozens of acres of land. It was very difficult to eat well and drink well.

“Uncle, if I can make you eat every meal and get you a wife, would you like to follow me?

It can also be solved in the local area. "

 “Xiao Luo plays by himself, and my brother will prepare delicious food for you!”

 “Haha, uncle is so honest, I will buy you a mule.”

Ziyu saw Hong Feiyang finishing the steamed buns and braised pork, and she really admired him.

In a short time, Ziyu saw the guards of the trading house moving steamed buns and meat several times, and he knew whose business it was without saying anything.

"I'm too heavy for an ordinary horse. Just buy me a mule."

Hong Feiyang's eyes flashed with a scorching light, and he knelt down in front of Ziyu to look at her level.

“Uncle, you are really good! You have come here on one pair of feet. I admire you so much.

I learned some rudimentary martial arts through my ears and eyes, and with my strength, I got into the job of driving **** cars.

 In ancient times when transportation was underdeveloped, it was impossible to reach the destination in less than a month by relying on a pair of feet.

 The only people who can trade here, and those who cannot afford the high-priced steamed buns, are probably only rugged men.

Ziyu gave a heartfelt thumbs up. No wonder this person only wanted to have a full stomach, and most people really couldn't afford it.

When Hong Feiyang heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately agreed happily. It is not easy to work a job that makes money and make a living for the rest of your life.

While speaking, she handed over five taels of silver, because there was no precedent for her to send a hungry man.

 Last year when I was out as an escort, I rescued a lady in distress on the road. After receiving a reward of two hundred taels, I quit the **** agency and wanted to make some money on my own.

How about I buy you another beautiful girl? "

 “Done!”

The warm March sun shines on me, the breeze carries the unique salty smell of the sea, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles returning to Shangdu on the road.

Ziyu took one look at the arms as thick as her waist, and realized that there were really not many people in the world who could do this.

 “Ahem, uncle, I have a good appetite and must be very strong!”

 After returning to Shangdu, I will buy you a horse to ride on so that you can be looked after on the road. "

“Brother, my name is Hong Feiyang. I am from Yuegu County and I am more than thirty years old. My parents have passed away long ago.

Ziyu, who was driving the mule cart, waved his whip leisurely, but in fact he was alert to the movements around him.

“Brother, I will pledge this gem to you, and all the work of driving the cart and carrying the baby will be mine.”

"Little brother, we will set off early tomorrow morning. If we want to leave, we will meet at the city gate early in the morning. It is still the old rule."

Hong Feiyang, who was brushing the mule's hair, was surprised. He didn't expect that the seemingly weak little brother was quite strong.

 Thirty-six steamed buns and a pound of braised pork in one meal go into one person's stomach. This is no longer a matter of a large appetite.

 “The little brother is gone!”

Ziyu pushed the big face in front of her away with a slap and nodded seriously.

 …

 The tasteless braised pork can cost as much as four taels of silver per pack, which is half a catty of meat at most.

Hong Feiyang waved his hand and refused, a little embarrassed to tell the truth.

Ziyu, who has stayed here for more than half a month, will definitely leave immediately after buying something she likes.

"Okay, you go ahead!" Ziyu said, waving her whip.

The rugged man came back again with steamed buns and meat. He had something in his stomach, and he ate on the mule cart while chatting with Ziyu.

 “Okay, see you tomorrow at Mao!”

 It was a journey of twenty miles, and it took a full hour to reach Shangdu Mansion while marching slowly.

 …

When Hong Feiyang arrived at the dock, he checked out of the inn’s Datong Shop to save money. He was really a man who took all his wealth with him when he left.

 It is my lifelong dream to marry a daughter-in-law, buy dozens of acres of land, and become a small rich man. "

 “Hey, I’ll have some more, I’m only half full!”

The things on the mule carriage were not moved. Ziyu was quite satisfied with Hong Feiyang's eyes, so she stepped forward and pushed the carriage into the open shed.

You follow me, as long as you protect him, I promise to make you a rich man within two years.

“Uncle, do you think I am lying?

I always take my brother with me when I go out on business. That’s because there is no one I can trust in my family, so I can only take him with me.

“Brother, do you really mean what you say?”

On the days when merchant ships enter the port, the food at the dock is several times that of usual. Steamed buns that usually sell for two cents each will sell for fifty cents each on this day.

Especially for a man with a big belly like him, not many owners are willing to have him.

A long caravan slowly walked out of the pier, Ziyu followed behind in a mule cart, and Hong Feiyang strode beside the mule cart carrying a simple baggage, with two iron bars as thick as arms attached to his waist.

 I saw him digging around on his body a few times, taking out a cloth bag wrapped very carefully, and handed it to Zi Yudao.

Ziyu was in a hurry. The first thing she did when she returned to the courtyard was to flush the toilet, followed by Xiao Luo who slid out of the mule cart.

She took Hong Feiyang directly back to the small rented courtyard. Fortunately, she always dressed as a man when going out, and there were not so many rules to follow.

The Wang family's caravan, which was loaded with goods, was brought out together by Xiao Wu. He was seen sitting on the carriage that Manager Wang once sat in, smiling happily.

The carriage Xiao Wu was sitting in stopped at the roadside, and he directed the caravan vehicles to enter an inn, not forgetting to talk to Ziyu.

Ziyu laughed and patted Hong Feiyang's thick arm. He was indeed a rough man at the level of an uncle.

After not having a good meal all day, Ziyu decided to reward the three of them, which was equivalent to welcoming new friends to join them.

 “Xiao Luo lights a fire for his brother!”
