When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan entered the barbecue area, the rich man behind them was still chasing and shouting. He was also tired after running all the way.
"God, save me, I'm sick." The rich man didn't care if there were others around him and shouted very stubbornly.
When he ran to the two people in front, the two people turned around and looked at him. One of them said, "This person is sick."
"You can see it too?" The rich man heard the voice and asked in surprise.
The man curled his lips. "You're seriously sick."
"Yes, yes, I'm dying. I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to chase the god." The rich man was more and more convinced that he was sick, and he secretly scolded the doctor before for being a quack.
When he chased into the barbecue area, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were choosing a grill. They didn't bring anything when they came, so they had to spend more money to rent or buy something here.
The barbecue area specialized in renting and selling these things, and the price was 10% higher than outside. For example, a normal grill, one meter long, the standard one outside was 95 copper coins, but here it was 105 copper coins, and if it was rented, it would be 7 copper coins, and it would be recouped after a dozen or so rentals.
Some people found it troublesome and didn't bring anything when they came out to barbecue, so they bought it here. Or some people brought their own grill and had to take it back to repair, so they rented it first. Some people made money, and some people got convenience.
There were all kinds of grills, and you could even roast a whole lamb if you wanted.
In addition to the grill, there were also sticks. There were two kinds of materials, bamboo and iron, and the thickness and length were different. It depended on what you wanted to roast. If the meat was big, you could only use iron sticks. If it was bamboo, it would be tiring. You had to keep fanning, otherwise, you would break the sides.
If the meat was small, you could use bamboo. After roasting it, there would be a smell of bamboo.
There were also shops selling charcoal around. Bamboo charcoal, charcoal, and stone charcoal were all available, and there were also several kinds of special wood. Perhaps some people felt that they were good at cooking and wanted to show off by smoking and roasting.
The most important thing was the food provided by the barbecue area. Other than beef, there were all kinds of normal meat. Of course, there were no tigers or pandas. Pandas were not allowed to be eaten now. Under normal circumstances, tigers could not be caught and sold here.
Occasionally, there would be frozen wolf meat, snake meat, and bamboo rats. These were all strange things. Most people wouldn't buy them and could only freeze them.
Normally, the meat of mutton, pork, and poultry would be delivered early in the morning with ice placed underneath to maintain a relatively low temperature. Otherwise, it would not be easy to sell the meat when it was almost evening. As for the meat that was bad, it could not be bad, but the color would change and the meat would gradually loosen. When people pressed it, they would shake their heads and not buy it.
Not far from where the meat was sold, there were vegetables and soy products. There were also mushrooms and the like. The vegetables were placed separately, just like the meat. The price was 20% higher than outside. The soy products were even 30% higher. The mushrooms were only slightly more expensive.
It was not that they did not want to raise the price of the vegetables and meat, but the people in charge of the park did not allow it. If the price was too high, people would not buy it. The park was a long-term place, and they could not suddenly scare people away.
Next to the vegetables were seasonings. There was even a special piece of land in the park where onions and other green vegetables were planted. Usually, the people in charge of the park would eat it themselves. If someone wanted to buy it, they could go in and pick it. This was expensive. Otherwise, the people in charge of the park would have to go out and buy it themselves.
"The previous provincial governor was really good. Don't look at it as a simple park. With it, not only did it solve the sanitation and environmental problems of the local slums, but it will also provide profits for the government in the future. More importantly, this park can make people closer to each other and increase the harmonious relationship between the local people.
When people of all classes enter the park, there will be less of a sense of hierarchy, especially when everyone brings their families and children to run around. Many of the barriers created by society itself will be reduced. Everyone may have different attitudes towards the same adults, but they treat their children the same. "
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the idle and busy people and praised the outgoing provincial governor. The provincial governor had already entered the capital and had been evaluated as excellent for three consecutive years. In the last year, he had completed the construction of this park and received an excellent evaluation. This was personally said by Zhang Xiaobao. He wanted to use this method to tell the other officials that when considering the economy, they should consider the relationship between the environment and the people's livelihood.
After Zhang Xiaobao, who rarely directly participated in the affairs of the imperial court officials, took action that time, countless officials were excited. It turned out that the road to the capital was so easy.
At that time, Li Longji shook his head and said to Gao Lishi that it was easy to enter the capital, but it was not easy to do things with a heart for the people. He wanted to see how many people could persevere.
Wang Juan also thought highly of the previous provincial governor. He was a capable official, but he could not always let a capable official stay in one place. After a long time, it would cause the local people to only recognize the official and forget the Emperor.
Just like her and Xiao Bao, the two of them could not stay in one place for too long. Even if they were now holding the position of Commander-In-Chief of the Bohai Commander-In-Chief and deputy provincial governor of northern Hebei Province, the two of them still had to leave. The reason why they did not send other officials there was because other officials there could not come up with a good idea. That was the country's military and economic strategic location.
Therefore, it was easy for others to do things wrong. At the same time, she and Xiao Bao could not enter the capital to be officials, because Xiao Bao's father was a minister there. In other words, the two of them would always be wandering around the country.
"Immortal, fairy, I finally caught up. I am crazy." While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were thinking about local governance issues, the rich man came over breathlessly.
After greeting the two of them, he was thirsty and pointed at the open bamboo shop next to him. "Give me a cup of water and some salt. Oh, three cups. What if the immortal is thirsty too?"
In the open door of the small shop, someone immediately brought three cups of water. The rich man took one first and held it in front of Zhang Xiaobao. "Old immortal, drink some water."
Zhang Xiaobao did not immediately take the cup. Instead, he stared at the rich man's hand holding the cup. He looked as if he was calculating, muttering some inexplicable words such as fingerprints matching stars, length matching heaven and earth, and so on.
After he finished calculating, Zhang Xiaobao said to the rich man, "It is fate that we meet. Forget it. I will give you a ride today. Young Master Huang, drink some water and take a rest. We will talk about other things."
"You, how do you know my surname is Huang?" The rich man was frightened. But after thinking about it, he became excited again. "Yes, you are right. My surname is Huang. My father named me …"
"Yao Ben, the name Lu Yuan. It means that one should not forget one's origin in the long journey of life. Is it right to protect the prosperity of the Huang family?" Zhang Xiaobao did not wait for him to finish. He looked up at the sky and said.
"Yes, yes, yes. Immortal, you are really an immortal. My name is Huang Yao Ben. My surname is Lu Yuan. That's right, that's right. This year, I …"
"One year has passed, and three months have passed. Twenty-one years and three months have passed. Is it right?"
"Yes, it is right. Immortal, how did you calculate? Can I learn it?" Huang Yao Ben, whose name and age were calculated, asked expectantly.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "Yes or no, it is up to fate. Drink, drink the water."
"Okay, I will drink, I will drink. Fate, I am definitely a person of fate." Huang Yao Ben raised his head and poured the water into his stomach. He asked again, "Immortal, you, you two are here today for …"
"I have not eaten for many years. I miss it. Today, I will eat a little. Looking at the endless celestial palaces, but missing the noise of the mortal world." Zhang Xiaobao saw a tree branch moving in the distance. He quickly adjusted his direction as he spoke. A gust of wind blew, causing his hair and beard to fly in the wind.
This time, not only was the person who delivered the water and Huang Yao Ben dumbfounded, Wang Juan was also full of admiration. He could even make use of the wind? It could be seen how deep the foundation of deception was. Professional, really professional.
The waiter who delivered the water swallowed his saliva and asked carefully, "Immortal, may I ask, do you know my surname?"
"Yang, your name is Yang Dongshui." Zhang Xiaobao answered quickly this time.
The waiter bent his knees and was about to kneel. Zhang Xiaobao reached out and helped him up. Then, his eyes could not leave Zhang Xiaobao. He wanted to remember the immortal's appearance.
"Immortal, immortal, what else can you calculate?" The waiter asked again.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, "You don't need to search for immortals. Just ask your heart. I will give you a word, 'righteous'. Walk the right path, maintain a righteous heart, and your future will be limitless. Go, go."
"Oh, oh, I remember. I will be a good person in the future. When I sell things, I will not lie. I am loyal and patriotic. I will be good to the elderly and children. I will work seriously and not be afraid of hard work."
The waiter promised. The more he spoke, the straighter his back became.
Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand again. The waiter retreated with a respectful expression.
"You go and rest first. I will wait and see." Zhang Xiaobao said to Huang Yao Ben.
Huang Yao Ben also respectfully found a place to sit. There were many chairs of different lengths. He did not need to spend any money to sit.
When Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao stood by the lake, she asked puzzledly, "Huang Yao Ben, this is the one we asked people to investigate. As for the other waiter, how do you know he is called Yang Dongshui?"
"He is a waiter here. It is written on the sign in front of his chest. There is also a portrait that looks similar to him. Below it is a certificate from the medical center. It says that he is very healthy and does not have any infectious diseases. Didn't you see it?"
Zhang Xiaobao explained in a low voice.
Wang Juan angrily glared at Zhang Xiaobao and muttered, "Liar."
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaobao bowed and thanked him with the gourd.
Huang Yao Ben, who had rested for a while, ran over and stood behind Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He did not dare to make a sound as he curiously looked at the lake. He did not know why these two immortals liked to stand here.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also did not speak. The two of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the lake together. If there was no Huang Yao Ben, it would be even better. The two of them could lean against each other and hum while watching the willows move and the water ripple in the wind.
Thinking that there was still someone waiting to be deceived, the two of them temporarily put down their good mood. They turned around and looked at Huang Yao Ben at the same time.
Huang Yao Ben opened his eyes. His gaze was full of expectation.
"Young Master Huang, tell me about this park. What did you experience in the secular world?" Zhang Xiaobao wanted to understand Huang Yao Ben more. He wanted to have a better understanding of Huang Yao Ben so that after deceiving him, he could think of a better way out.
Huang Yao Ben thought about it and sighed, "It is too sad to be sick in the secular world."
