The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 420 Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng
In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting on the western mountain, and the setting sun was slanting to the west.

"Little mage, where are we going this time?"

Following behind Pei Wende with a tired face, it was no longer County Captain Sun who asked the question this time, but Lao Zhao who had never spoken much.

Because their group just finished running errands for Pei Wende, and there are still many guards who have not returned to the team.

Of course, if it's just like this, Lao Zhao doesn't really care too much.

After all, as long as Pei Wende holds Pei Hong's token, it is his right to issue one or two orders to the county government officials.

But the problem is, Lao Zhao thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't understand the meaning of those orders issued by Pei Wende?
Going to buy medicinal materials on a large scale is nothing more than that. Pei Wende said that he wanted to save people.

Although the amount of medicinal materials purchased has exceeded the normal scope of "saving people", as long as Pei Wende is willing to pay, the guards don't mind running errands.

But in addition to purchasing medicinal materials, Pei Wende also asked people to find a large enough open space outside the city, and if they couldn't, they would "negotiate" with those gentry who owned the land.

And along with this task, there is also the task of purchasing a large amount of rice oil, timber and coal.

Needless to say the former, even for the servants of the yamen, it is not easy to temporarily rent an open space from those gentry and nobles.

The latter is even more exaggerated. The purchase of a large number of daily necessities such as rice oil has disrupted the normal prices of Ningxiang County in a sense.

If someone else did this, the government might come to the door on the spot.

At this sensitive time point, you are buying a large amount of daily necessities such as rice oil, are you planning to take the opportunity to drive up prices?
However, it was Pei Wende who did this, and it was Pei Wende who was holding Pei Hong's token.

Old Zhao, who already had some kind of guess in his heart, felt extremely panicked.

He is now afraid that his guess is true. If it turns out to be true, the entire Ningxiang County may undergo earth-shaking changes in the next period of time.

"I've already explained what I should explain. This time, I'm just here to find an acquaintance."

I don't know if I saw Lao Zhao's worry, Pei Wende, who had already made up his mind, said so.

"acquaintance?"

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Captain Sun didn't know what Pei Wende was planning to do, but he could also see that what the other party was doing was definitely not a trivial matter.

In comparison, even Sun Xiaoya's transformation into a ghost is not a big deal.

"Yes, she was the first person to help me when I was in trouble."

While speaking, Pei Wende has skillfully turned into the streets and alleys at the gate of the city, and then stopped in front of a not too big courtyard.

"Ma'am, open the door!"

Just like when he lived here, Pei Wende shouted through the door.

"Come on, come on, who is calling the door so late!"

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, the gate of the courtyard was slowly opened, and an elderly lady suddenly appeared in front of Pei Wende.

"what?"

Looking up at Pei Wende in astonishment, the old woman stood there for a while, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Wende? Why are you back?"

When Pei Wende was severely injured by Dan Chenzi and had to live in Ningxiang County temporarily, it was the old woman who found and took him in.

And after finishing "Vampire Hound", although Pei Wende left enough money for the old lady, after all, he hasn't come back to see her for such a long time.

"Ma'am, I'm back to see you."

Pei Wende opened his arms to give the old woman a hug, but was slapped by the old woman without any surprise.

"You boy, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and you still have this dissolute personality."

Complaining like this, but the joy on the old woman's face is obvious.

For this childless old woman, although the time she spent with Pei Wende was not too long, she already regarded him as her own child in her heart.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months."

Regardless of the old woman's obstruction, Pei Wende gave her another bear hug without being polite at all.

Although this kind of etiquette does not conform to most people's perception of feudal ethics, it is not out of the ordinary in today's prosperous and declining Tang Dynasty.

"Don't be ashamed, how old are you!"

Angrily poking Pei Wende's forehead, the old lady saw the guards standing behind him like logs.

In fact, it's no wonder County Captain Sun and the others are so stunned. It's because Pei Wende's current performance has completely broken their perception of the "little mage".

You must know that whether it was in the "Vampire Hound Incident" or in the previous conversations, the impression Pei Wende left on them was majestic and solemn.

This was the first time the guards saw Pei Wende showing such a human side, and it was still facing an ordinary old woman who lived in the streets all year round.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the old woman in front of you is just an ordinary person.

If it wasn't for the scene in front of them, they would never have imagined that the "acquaintances" that Pei Wende said would be ordinary people.

"Auntie, actually, I came back to you this time to ask you to help me."

Without too much hesitation, after hugging the old lady, Pei Wende finally revealed the purpose of his trip.

"I may open one or even many porridge sheds in the near future, but I lack a chef."

"You also know that I'm not familiar with this place, and I don't trust other people to be in charge, so after thinking about it, I can only trouble you."

"Of course, as a reward for helping me cook, how about two hundred copper coins a day?"

"You boy, there is no truth in your mouth."

She stretched out her hand and poked Pei Wende's forehead again. After getting along with him for so long, the old lady still couldn't see the little thought in the other party.

Pei Wende said that he was worried about others being in charge of the cooking, but in fact he just didn't want to watch the old woman continue to spread pancakes from dawn to dusk.

It just so happens that this time I have the opportunity, and asking the old lady to help me can not only save a lot of trouble, but also save enough "pension" for the other party at once.

After all, in Pei Wende's plan, the next action will not solve the problem in a day or two.

Two hundred pennies a day may seem like a small amount, but it is much better than the old woman getting up early and working late.

The most important thing is that with Pei Wende in charge here, these two hundred wen are real money, which is enough for the old woman to support her for the rest of her life.

"But you have foresight, don't look at my age, my aunt, but the craftsmanship of my youth is still there."

Without even asking what Pei Wende planned to do, the old woman who saw through the other party's carelessness replied with a smile.
