Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 144 Catching Bugs

Motorcycles are driving on the road.

Ye Jiangnan had not been driving for long when he saw a group of soldiers with Tang swords hanging on their waists in the distance ahead.

The motorcycle made a loud noise, and Qianniuwei heard the roar before Ye Jiangnan got close.

"Buzzing—"

When the Qianniu Guards heard the sound, they instantly became very alert.

He grasped the scabbard with his left hand, held the handle with his right hand, and looked around.

Finally, they set their sights on Ye Jiangnan who was riding a motorcycle.

"There are assassins!"

"Be alert!"

A Qianniu Guard shouted loudly.

The Qianniu Guard behind the carriage stopped instantly, turned around and looked at Ye Jiangnan who was riding over.

It’s no wonder that they thought Ye Jiangnan was an assassin. It was the way Ye Jiangnan was dressed and the motorcycle he was riding that made them think of him as an assassin.

Ye Jiangnan was wearing a black leather jacket on the upper body, black jeans and a pair of Martin boots on the lower body.

He was wearing a black helmet on his head.

Dressed in all black, it's hard not to mistake him for an assassin.

Seeing Ye Jiangnan getting closer and closer, the Qianniu Guards saw that Ye Jiangnan had no intention of stopping, so they quickly stood in several rows.

They drew their Tang swords and looked at Ye Jiangnan with sharp eyes.

"Is there an assassin?"

Li Shimin and his companions in the carriage also heard the roar of the motorcycle.

The shouts from the Qianniu Guards just now were also heard clearly.

Li Shimin and his companions curiously lifted the curtain and looked back.

When he looked up, he saw Ye Jiangnan riding a motorcycle and coming in front of Qianniu Guard.

Li Shimin and his companions did not recognize that it was Ye Jiangnan.

He was wearing a helmet and they couldn't see Ye Jiangnan's face, so how could they possibly recognize him?

Ye Jiangnan parked his motorcycle and tilted his head to look behind Qianniu Guard, at Li Shimin and his companions who had half of their heads sticking out of the carriage.

Before he could open his mouth, the people from Qianniu Guard spoke first.

"Please stay!"

"What do you do?"

Ye Jiangnan didn't even look at him and took off the helmet on his head.

The moment he took off his helmet, Li Shimin and others instantly recognized Ye Jiangnan.

Seeing that it was Ye Jiangnan, Li Shimin and his men did not dare to hesitate and got off the carriage directly.

"stop!"

"Put away your knives, and get out of my way!"

Li Shimin quickly scolded.

When Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman saw Ye Jiangnan, they flew over directly.

As soon as he landed from the carriage, he flew straight over.

"Little Neng-kun!"

As soon as little Sizi came over, he threw himself into Ye Jiangnan's arms.

"Master! Sister Yu Shu!"

Ying Yinman did not compete with her senior sister for being hugged by her master, but threw herself into Yu Shu's arms.

Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang came over.

"Immortal, why are you here too?"

Qin Shi Huang asked curiously.

"Could it be that Lao Li paid you to help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin said unhappily:

"Vulgar!"

"Vulgar!"

"Is the Immortal that kind of person?!"

"The immortal is helping me. He is so generous and handsome. Does he need to charge me for his help?"

"Based on my friendship with the immortal, what's wrong with the immortal taking pity on me and helping me?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang rolled their eyes at Li Shimin.

Ye Jiangnan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the "shameless" Li Shimin.

"Although I am generous and handsome, I still charge money when I should."

"Come on, Lao Li, arrange for someone to settle the bill for them."

Ye Jiangnan said this and handed a piece of paper to Li Shimin.

"Immortal, what's the account?"

Li Shimin took the paper in confusion.

"Immortal, I always pay every time I leave."

"You don't owe the store any money, do you?"

"If you want to collect a debt, you don't have to come all the way to Datang to ask me for money, right?"

After taking the paper, Li Shimin lowered his head to look at the contents on the paper and read aloud as he read:

"Dingxianglou's food costs one tael of silver, Ruyizhai's food costs five taels of silver, Qiaoshoufang's food costs one hundred and three wen, Jinxiuzhuang's food costs half a tael of silver, Qizhen Pavilion's food costs... Hanmoxuan's food costs..."

After reading it, Li Shimin looked at Ye Jiangnan in confusion.

"Immortal, you didn't pay for these, did you?"

"How is that possible! Am I the kind of person who doesn't give money?"

Ye Jiangnan said speechlessly.

"Then you..."

Li Shimin pointed to the contents on the paper.

Ye Jiangnan explained:

"It's from Yu Shuji."

"She said you promised before that we would go to Datang and all the expenses would be paid by you."

"I didn't think it was necessary, and I didn't have much money."

"But when I think of the fact that every penny is hard-earned, I'll let you go."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly:

"What a poem!"

"The Immortal said it well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was once a farmer and had no food to eat and almost starved to death, could deeply understand this sentence.

Qin Shi Huang nodded in agreement and said:

"As expected of an immortal, he can teach us a lot from just one simple sentence."

Li Shimin was not a stingy person. He put the paper in his hand away and said:
"My God, I, Li Shimin, can still afford this amount of money!"

"Don't worry, once the locust problem is dealt with, I'll have someone give you the money!"

Ye Jiangnan nodded.

"Okay, time to get back to business."

"Aren't we going to deal with the locusts?"

"Why are there only a few of you?!"

Ye Jiangnan asked.

Li Shimin looked around and asked in confusion:

"Immortal, aren't these people enough?"

Ye Jiangnan said:

"I'm not saying you don't have enough people." "I mean, where are the chickens and ducks I asked you to prepare?"

"And where's the oil?"

"You don't want the common people to produce their own chicken and duck fat, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin waved his hand quickly:
"No no!"

"how can that be possible!"

"The people are having such a hard time, how can I let them do this?!"

"I have already asked Zhangsun Wuji and the others to take away the chicken and duck fats and other things."

“First, release chickens and ducks to the places where locusts appear, and then call on the people to catch locusts.”

Li Shimin arranged everything that needed to be arranged.

What he had to do now was to fry the locusts in front of the people and eat them in one bite.

"That's OK!"

"Let's go there quickly!"

Ye Jiangnan said.

"it is good!"

Li Shimin and his companions turned around and went back to the carriage.

Little Sizi hugged Ye Jiangnan's neck tightly, not wanting to get out of Ye Jiangnan's arms.

"Xiao Neng-jun, was that a horse you were riding just now?"

"Sizi, why does this look like a horse to me?"

Little Sizi asked doubtfully.

Her attention was completely attracted by Ye Jiangnan's motorcycle.

The motorcycle's handsome streamline and domineering style made Xiao Sizi stare at it intently.

“This is a motorcycle, not a horse.”

Ye Jiangnan explained.

"automobile?"

"Correct!"

"Sizi wants to ride a bike, too! Little Sizi, I want to ride!"

"I'll let you ride it after we get back."

Ye Jiangnan rubbed Xiao Sizi's head.

"Not now?"

Little Sizi pouted and asked pitifully.

She wanted to sit in the car now.

"No!"

"This road is not flat. You may fall down easily if you sit on it."

Ye Jiangnan said softly.

"Okay then, after we go back, you have to take me and my junior sister for a bike ride!"

Little Sizi said.

"Okay, I understand. Please get on the carriage."

Ye Jiangnan said this and put the little Sizi on the ground.

"it is good!"

Xiao Sizi responded, went over, held Ying Yinman's hand, and walked towards the carriage.

Li Shimin, Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Ye Jiangnan's motorcycle.

That look was exactly the same as the way Xiao Sizi was staring at the motorcycle just now.

Ye Jiangnan: “…”

"Okay, stop looking!"

"I'll introduce you to it when I'm done!"

After hearing what Ye Jiangnan said, the three of them turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Yu Shu, get in the car, let's go first!"

Ye Jiangnan put on his helmet and said to Yu Shu.

"it is good!"

After Yu Shu got on the bike, Ye Jiangnan stepped on the accelerator and the motorcycle quickly passed through the middle.

……

Ye Jiangnan's speed on the motorcycle was naturally faster than Li Shimin and the others.

When they arrived at the field where the locusts appeared, Ye Jiangnan parked the car, and together with Yu Shu, they took off their helmets and looked at the locusts flying all over the sky.

Not only were there countless locusts in the air, but there were also countless locusts in the fields and on the crops.

A lot of ducks and chickens have been released into the fields and soil.

However, chickens and ducks also have their fill.

After eating a lot of locusts, the chickens and ducks are playing by themselves.

There are figures shuttling back and forth between the crops.

Those people should be the ordinary people who grow crops.

Ye Jiangnan was still in the crowd and saw Cheng Yaojin.

"Old Cheng!"

Ye Jiangnan shouted at Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin looked back and saw Ye Jiangnan, and immediately responded:

"Immortal... Young Master Ye!"

Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to call Ye Jiangnan the Immortal, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he changed his mind.

Ye Jiangnan had said before that when there are other people present, one cannot call him immortal, but must call him young master.

Cheng Yaojin also understood Ye Jiangnan's thoughts.

This is because he was afraid that his identity as an immortal would be known to outsiders, which would probably cause a lot of trouble.

After Cheng Yaojin called Ye Jiangnan, he ran towards Ye Jiangnan.

Around his waist hung a woven basket.

It cannot be said to be a basket, but rather a woven object similar to a wine bottle.

The opening was as big as an adult's fist, and the lower body was like a big jar.

There is a lid above the opening.

I guess they made this to pretend to be locusts.

Coming in front of Ye Jiangnan, Cheng Yaojin asked doubtfully:

"Master Ye, why are you two here?"

"Your Majesty, where are they?"

Ye Jiangnan said:

"They are still behind. They should be here soon."

Cheng Yaojin nodded upon hearing this.

"How's the locust catching going?"

Ye Jiangnan asked.

"Hey, sir, there are too many bugs!"

"The chickens and ducks are full, and we've caught a lot of them, but there are still a lot of bugs."

Cheng Yaojin sighed.

He has been here for half an hour and has caught quite a few locusts.

Even though we caught so many, there were still quite a few locusts.

It's as if they didn't catch it.
