The soldiers were intently watching the electric tricycle and didn't react for a moment.
Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed, and even more annoyed!
"Guards! Throw them both out of the manor! Seize the carriage!"
Holy crap, they were just chasing them away, but now they're going too far and trying to take over the electric tricycle too!
Seven or eight soldiers raised their guns and clubs, surrounding Li Huan and Wu Song like fierce demons.
"Stop!" Hu Sanniang shouted. "I have a relationship with them; I personally brought them into the manor!"
Zhu Biao was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
"Third sister, do you know them?"
Hu Sanniang smiled sweetly and began to introduce herself.
"This man's surname is Li and his given name is Huan. He has been doing business in the Western Regions for many years, so he wears strange clothes and is different from others."
Li Huan raised her hand and smoothed her short hair, thinking that she should wash her hair and try the natural soapberry from the Northern Song Dynasty when she had some free time.
"This man's surname is Wu, given name Song, the tiger-slaying hero of Yanggu County. I'm sure you've all heard of the great name Wu Song!"
Wu Song clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to Zhu Biao, displaying a humble attitude.
Zhu Biao stared intently at Wu Song, then sneered.
"I've heard that Wu Song is a constable in the county government. How come he's setting up a stall in Zhu Family Village? Who exactly are you? How dare you impersonate the tiger-slaying hero and deceive Third Sister?"
Wu Song frowned deeply: "To tell you the truth, I committed a murder and am no longer the head constable of the county government. Now I follow Brother Huan and make a living by selling boxed lunches at a stall. If you don't believe me, you can go to Yanggu County to inquire!"
What a fine Wu Erlang! Upright and honorable.
Zhu Biao remained suspicious and asked Hu Sanniang, "Third Sister, you've never been to Yanggu County, so how could you be acquainted with Wu Song?"
The young man's demeanor and tone not only revealed vigilance but also a hint of jealousy.
Because Wu Song is tall and strong, handsome, exudes masculine hormones, and is a famous tiger-slaying hero, what woman wouldn't like him?
Upon learning that his fiancée had a connection with Wu Song, Zhu Biao naturally became jealous.
Hu Sanniang's eyes flickered, unsure how to fabricate a lie.
Li Huan hurriedly fabricated a story: "A few days ago, Song Ge and I were selling boxed lunches at a stall in Yuncheng County when Third Sister passed by and stopped to watch. She was robbed of her silver by Shi Qian, the 'Flea on the Drum.' Song Ge chased after Shi Qian, caught him, and got the silver back for Third Sister!"
"Exactly!" Hu Sanniang quickly chimed in, "That little thief is truly despicable!"
Shi Qian, the flea on the drum, was shot while lying down.
Zhu Biao then believed it and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, hero!"
Wu Song laughed and said, "When you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help. Young Master, please don't be so polite."
Hu Sanniang said, "After tasting the food that day, I found it delicious, so I invited Li Huan to set up a stall in Zhu Family Village so that everyone could enjoy a good meal!"
After speaking, Hu Sanniang's face flushed slightly.
Lying in public inevitably makes one feel guilty.
Zhu Biao puffed out his chest and said loudly, "How could I not support Third Sister's kind offer? May I ask what kind of food is sold inside the carriage?"
Li Huan moved swiftly, lifting the lids of the food buckets one by one to reveal various dishes.
Four meat dishes: spicy crayfish, oyster omelet, braised beef brisket with tomatoes, and braised ribbonfish.
Four vegetarian dishes: fried peanuts, cold shredded carrots, green pepper and potato slices, and dry-fried cauliflower.
Main dish: Fried rice with egg.
Fresh soup: Spicy soup.
For this task, the system provided several dishes that had never been sold before.
In an instant, the fragrance wafted on the wind and spread throughout the air.
The aroma of the food made everyone's eyes light up, and their stomachs rumbled.
Zhu Biao's appetite was whetted, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Li Huan picked up the tongs: "Third Sister, you've never eaten these eight dishes in Yuncheng County. Let me tell you in detail!"
Hu Sanniang understood immediately: "I'm all ears!"
Li Huan picked up a "spicy crayfish" and explained it loudly.
"Crawfish, originating from the overseas land of North America, resembles a dragon in appearance..."
"Hahaha..." Zhu Biao laughed wildly, interrupting Li Huan.
Wu Song asked, "Why is the young master laughing?"
Zhu Biao pointed at the crayfish: "Compared to river shrimp, these shrimp only have larger claws. How can they resemble dragons? Stop exaggerating and trying to attract attention!"
In an instant, Wu Song choked.
Li Huan cursed inwardly, "Damn it, Zhu Biao is not only arrogant and domineering, but also has a sharp tongue and loves to argue with people!"
"Young Master, the name 'Little Crayfish' is not just for show..."
Before Li Huan could finish speaking, a shout rang out: "The Master of the Manor has arrived!"
The crowd quickly made way.
Zhu Chaofeng strode over; though his beard was white, he was in high spirits, and his every move exuded a sense of pride.
The two people behind him, judging from their appearances, should be Zhu Long and Zhu Hu.
Zhu Chaofeng sniffed and asked curiously, "What fragrance is that? I could smell it from afar!"
Zhu Biao immediately reported, explaining why Li Huan and Wu Song had come to Zhu Family Village to set up a stall.
After listening, Zhu Chaofeng looked Wu Song up and down and nodded approvingly.
"I've long heard of your esteemed name, and seeing you today, I can confirm your reputation as a tiger-slaying hero. Your demeanor is truly extraordinary!"
Wu Song clasped his hands in greeting and said, "You flatter me, Master."
Zhu Hu stroked his thick beard, glancing at Wu Song with a displeased expression.
Li Huan saw through Zhu Hu's thoughts.
This guy's name is just "Tiger". Wu Song became famous for killing a tiger, which is equivalent to violating the taboo of Zhu Hu.
Zhu Chaofeng approached the carriage, admiring the various dishes with great interest.
Hu Sanniang said, "Master, you've come at the perfect time. Li Huan is just describing all the delicacies."
Zhu Chaofeng chuckled: "I also love good food, please continue!"
Li Huan picked up a crayfish and raised his voice: "Crayfish, it doesn't live up to its name! It's like the crayfish in the sea..."
"shut up!"
A roar interrupted Li Huan's explanation once again.
The one who roared was Zhu Long, the eldest son of the Zhu family!
