On the way back, Luo Yong did not deliberately rush the road. Instead, he was at the normal speed. He rested when he should rest, stayed when he should stay. Sometimes it was raining, and he would cook in the guest house next to the official road for two or three days.

At this time, there were many official inns on both sides of the official road. These inns can only be used by the government and specific personnel, and ordinary pedestrians and merchants cannot live in at all.

Therefore, near these inns, there are often many privately opened passenger houses. Most of these shops in the hotel are nearby people, occupying the convenience of being close to the official road, providing food and accommodation for passers-by to earn some money.

Jianpu Teng Chao has been on this official road many times, so he has a lot of experience in staying in the matter. He knows which store has a good price for traveling and is kind, and which one is not very good.

If he hadn't been there, Luo Yong would have been completely disgraced. If he accidentally entered a black shop, even if he was not made into a human bun, he would probably have to be stripped of all the property on him. The black shop was not a rare thing in this era of closure.

"The house of Wu Dalang is ahead. Why not sleep here tonight?" On the afternoon of that day, when it was almost dusk, Teng Chao pointed to a small straw hut yard not far ahead of the road and said to Luo Yong.

"Here?" Luo Yong was a little confused. In the past, they chose the guest house next to the inn. It was relatively safe and more secure. Unlike the current place, there was no village or shop in front of the village or behind.

"Then Wu Dalang is my old acquaintance." Teng Chao explained to Luo Yong: "A few years ago, when my husband came to Shizhou to take office from Beijing to Shizhou, he was supposed to be raining. The carriage was stuck next to the road. I followed the official road to find someone to help, and finally found Wu Dalang's house. Both of them were kind and enthusiastic people. Later, my husband would rest at his house whenever he passed by here."

"So that's it." Since it's reliable, Luo Yong was relieved.

Looking at the small courtyard not far ahead, the guest house is opened in such a place, and most people dare not go in and stay in easily. The business is afraid that the governor Hao has received favors from his family before, so he stays in his house every time he passes here, and he should also be helpful.

Soon after the carriage arrived in front of the yard, Luo Yong had just got off the car, and saw two little babies running out of the yard with a smile: "Do you want to drink water?"

Their guest house is not in good condition, and there are not many pedestrians and merchants here who pass by, but people often ask for water from them. After drinking the water, the generous ones will leave a penny or two. If they encounter stingy or tight money, they will not pay, just say thank you.

Behind these two little babies, a slightly shorter woman appeared. She smiled and said to Teng Chao: "It's Teng Erlang who is here. How dare you ask this husband?"

"This is my husband's friend." Teng Chao said. Along the way, Luo Yong did not tell anyone about his identity. When facing Mr. Wu, Teng Chao naturally skipped.

"This hot day must be exhausted. Hurry up and go to the yard to rest." Aunt Wu Dalang said as he greeted the two of them in the yard.

Luo Yong walked into the yard and saw a small yard, three or five rooms, and children all over the yard. No matter how you look at it, it was just an ordinary farmhouse.

"Da Lang has gone to the ground?" Teng Chao led the carriage into the yard and looked around. He did not see Wu Dalang, so he asked.

"Where is there any land?" The woman's face became dark and said, "He is helping people today."

"Why are there no fields? Didn't it be fine before the New Year?" Teng Chao was surprised.

"Oh..." The woman asked the older children in the family to bring Hu Bai, and scoop a bowl of clear water for Luo Yong and Teng Chao, and then told them about the field.

It turned out that the fields they had cultivated were unparalleled lands, and they had planted them earlier because no one cared about them.

Just over two months ago, someone was hunting nearby and trampling on the crops in their fields. The couple argued with others, but the other party grabbed Xiaopenger who had been cleared by the land privately. In the end, not only did they not receive any compensation, but they were not allowed to continue planting the fields they were originally planted.

The business in this guest house was not good, so Wu Dalang had to go out to work for others, and at least earn some money and food to support his wife and children in the family.

"There is such a thing." Teng Chao sighed after hearing this. This is the world. The ownerless fields would rather be deserted than farm for them, those who have no land. The rich and powerful young master would trample on horseback, and it would be trample on nothing.

Teng Chao has followed governor Hao for many years and is no longer the silly young man who didn't know how to be tall and strong. He knows that his identities like them are completely helpless when facing such things, but he is inevitably depressed.

"I didn't ask you to demolish this yard." Luo Yong said at this time.

"!" Teng Chao's face suddenly froze when he heard this. Luo Sanlang's words were really... Could it be that he would have to demolish the yard before he could give up?

The woman had a good temper and replied with a forced smile: "The county magistrate is kind-hearted and allows this place to live with my home in private."

Luo Yong heard this, nodded and said, "This is not bad."

The county magistrate was not kind enough to say, and he thought he was afraid that this matter would end up even if it was a mess.

It is a big or small matter to ride a horse and hunt and trample crops. If the censors in the court put it in an article, I don’t know how many people will be unlucky in the end. Their place is not too far from Chang'an City.

"Since that's the case, I can only give up." Teng Chao also said so.

As long as it is not forced into a dead end, who will be stupid enough to use eggs to touch the stones. This guest house is preserved, and Wu Dalang's family has a way out.

The woman sat for a while and then got up to prepare food for them. Soon,

Wu Dalang also came back from work, carrying a string of pigs in his hand and looked carefully. He found a large piece of pig intestine and a pig ear.

Wu Dalang and Teng Chaoluo greeted them with their hands and said to them with a smile: "Today, the boss killed pigs, so I will use these as wages. I can add some food to you tonight."

Luo Yong looked at the pig ears and pig intestines in his hand, then looked at the official road outside the yard, and said to Wu Dalang: "I heard that these pigs in the water taste very good if they are made into braised dishes."

"How to make the braised dish?" Wu Dalang asked.

How to make this braised dish, verbally, is really hard to say clearly. Luo Yong simply took some seasonings from the car, and took the initiative to make braised dish in this Wu family yard.

Luo Yong had studied the method of cooking braised dishes before. This time he went to Chang'an and visited the East and West Market for two or three days. The one he bought the most were star anise pepper.

He originally wanted to launch this dish at the Xujia Keshang. After all, more and more people are raising pigs these days. Lard is so expensive and pork is not cheap. In contrast, the price of going into the water is much cheaper.

It was not easy to see that Wu Dalang's family was there, and there were so many babies to raise at home, so I could just teach him. The Wu family's guest house was above the official road, and it would be of good relations with him in the future.

The spices were bought from Chang'an City and the soy sauce was taken out of the space. Teng Chao was not very clear about his things, so he didn't think much at this time, and most people wouldn't think about that.

As soon as the braised dish was cooked, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.

Speaking of which, this braised dish has a very long history, but at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, it seemed that it did not enter the homes of ordinary people. On the one hand, the spices are rare, and on the other hand, the consumption capacity of people is limited nowadays. After all, it is still too troublesome to make braised dishes at home. If you spend money to buy them, no one has much money in their pockets.

In any case, Luo Yong's formula of the braised material brought from the 21st century is definitely advanced in the times.

Before the braised dish was cooked, two rushing pedestrians smelled the fragrance and got off the official road outside: "Shop, can you have food?"

Luo quickly used bamboo chopsticks to pick out the pig intestine and pig ears in the jar, cut some of them, took out the pottery plate, added some braised dishes, and added some vegetables that Wu Dalang's wife had cooked in earlier, and then put two mixed noodles next to it, accompanied by a bowl of corn porridge, in duplicate, and brought them out to the two guests outside with Teng Chao.

These two men who were on the road were dressed in a brave dress and their clothes were not very glamorous. The two horses looked energetic and were likely to be servants of wealthy families.

At this time, they saw what Luo Yong and Teng Chao brought out. With the dim lights in the hall, they could barely tell what was on the plate. They felt a little dissatisfied. They just smelled the fragrance outside and thought it was something good, but they didn't expect it to go into the water.

"How much is the price?" These two people often run outside. They are afraid that they will encounter customers in black shops, so they don't move their chopsticks at this time, but ask for the price first.

"I have to pay for patronage, and I have two cents per person." Luo Yong said with a smile.

"..." The two of them looked at each other, and it was not expensive for two cents, so they slapped a few copper plates on the table, picked up chopsticks and started eating.

When they tasted the taste, they felt even more satisfied. Although it was not a good thing, the taste was beyond words. I didn’t expect that in this rural shop, the store could have such skills.

Luo Yong smiled and collected the money, returned to the kitchen, and gave him to the wife of Wu Dalang.

"This... how can this be done?" Wu Dalang's wife said, wanting to let Luo use him to keep the money, but she felt a little rude. People like the other party should not look down on these few cents.

"Take it, I want these few cents to make." Luo Yong smiled and said, "It would be fine if the fields were not planted. If this guest house was well managed, it would be much better than farming."

"I've finished my braised dishes today. I can add some water to cook the remaining marinade tomorrow. The more I get older, the more fragrant it is. But the weather is hot, so I boil it once or twice a day. Don't let it get rotten. The taste becomes lighter during the time. I also need to add some seasonings. This time I use the common spices on the market. Add some occasionally, and the cost is not too high..."

The two guests seemed to be rushing tonight. After dinner, they hurriedly left again. Wu Dalang's family was also kind, feeding the horses they both with water and fodder, but they didn't collect more money for half a penny.

After they left, Wu Dalang closed the courtyard gate and entered the room to politely politely and said, "Sir today I will teach me how to settle down and make a living. It is logical that I should serve the teacher in the future. Only my status is humble and I am another escaped slave. I dare not cause trouble for the teacher, so I ask the teacher to atone for my sins."

"Escape slave?" Luo Yong was shocked, not only because of Wu Dalang's identity as an escape slave, but also because the other party told him the secret so easily.

Turning back to see the expression on Teng Chao's face, it was obvious that Teng Chao knew about it before, probably even Governor Hao knew about it, but everyone chose to remain silent.

"It's better not to talk about such things easily with others." Luo Yong noticed that there were only three of them in the hall, Wu Dalang's wife and children, who were not on the scene at this time. I think his children must not know about this. The children were unrestrained and could not let them know.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm very alert on weekdays." Wu Dalang said with a smile.

Luo Yong looked at the face of this man again, and he really became a little more courageous and smart. He didn't have any courage. Who dared to be a runaway slave? But the other party didn't say it. Luo Yong didn't notice it. He even thought he was an honest country man. I don't know if he should say that he was a clumsy or the person in front of him was hiding deep enough.

"Sir, is Luo Sanlang from Shizhou?" Wu Dalang asked again.

"That's right." Luo Yong nodded, not surprisingly, the other party could guess his identity. After all, he, governor Hao and Teng Chao were both old acquaintances. Recently, the matter of the emperor choosing the Luo Coffin Board of the Face Saint has spread, especially on this official road leading from Chang'an City to Lishi County.

"Since you are an escaped slave, you run a guest house on this official road, and now you get this recipe for braised dishes. I'm afraid it's a bit too much." Luo Yong reminded him.

"Sir, don't worry. When I just escaped from the master's house, I was only twelve or thirteen years old. I was thin and small. Now I have completely changed my appearance. I will marry and have children in the local area, so it should be fine."

"If this transaction is done, I will find a few villagers in the nearby villages to help. I have a lot of contact with those villagers. If those villagers help, it will naturally be safer."

To put it bluntly, there were no ID cards at this time. As long as the nearby villagers bite him, Wu Dalang is from their village, who can say he is not?

"Since that's the case, you and I are both masters and disciples, so it's okay to be right." Luo Yongyan said.

Wu Dalang has some courage and strategy. His family opened such a guesthouse next to the official road. Luo Yong took him as a disciple, which undoubtedly added a glance to himself.

If you talk about risks, there will naturally be some risks, but it is precisely because of this risk that Wu Dalang is more likely to be heart-warming about him.

For those who choose to avoid a little danger and trouble, let alone Wu Dalang, even Luo Yong himself will never have a close relationship with such a person.

"Master is here! Please accept a bow from my disciple!" Wu Dalang gave Luo Yong a big gift, and the hot tears fell on the straw mat in front of him.

He had always heard of Luo Sanlang's name and admired his actions over the years. At this time, he was admitted to Luo Sanlang's name and immediately felt that his life had finally come to his home.

"Get up quickly."

Luo Yong never expected that he had just planned to stay in this thatched courtyard for one night, but he actually accepted another apprentice.
