Chapter 49 The Fourth Young Master of the Zhang Family

It was almost dusk, and after everyone packed up the things they had brought, they started to make a fire and cook.

The person in charge of cooking is Yang Chengche, who is also a relative of Yang Zhengshan’s grandson.

Yang Chengche lost his mother when he was young and depended on his father for support. He took over the family kitchen at a very young age.

Even after he got married, he was still the chef in the family.

However, his family was not well off, and a good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how good his cooking skills were, there was no place to display them.

But today, Yang Chengche finally had the opportunity to show off his cooking skills.

When a plate of fried chicken was served on the table, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but shrug his nose.

“This aroma!”

He couldn't help but pick up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks.

The meat was soft and cooked perfectly, with a salty taste, which was very much to his liking.

how to say?

Although Yang Chengche's cooking skills were not that great, and probably not even as good as the chefs in Anning County, Yang Zhengshan was still extremely surprised.

Don’t forget, Yang Chengche’s family didn’t have the conditions to fry chicken before, and they only ate meat a few times a year.

The fried chicken he made today might be his first time.

It’s pretty good to be able to do this for the first time.

"Very good, very good, from today on, you are the cook!"

This cooking skill is much better than Wang’s at home, and Yang Zhengshan gave high praise.

"Cook? Uncle, what is a cook?"

Yang Chengche is not tall and thin. Standing next to Yang Mingwu, he looks like a little child.

The reason why he was able to pass Yang Zhengxiang's selection and follow Yang Zhengshan to Chongshan Pass was because he was ruthless and willing to sacrifice his life.

Of course, his martial arts skills are not bad either, and he wields the Yang family spear with great agility.

"A cook is a chef in the army. You will be responsible for our meals from now on. As a reward for your hard work, I will reward you with a chicken leg every day!" Yang Zhengshan picked up a chicken leg and put it in Yang Chengche's bowl.

"Really, thank you uncle!" Yang Chengche looked at the chicken leg in the bowl happily.

The others looked envious.

I’m really envious!

Their lives were not easy in the past. If it were not during festivals, they would hardly have access to meat.

It was only after the battle with the Hu cavalry that they were able to eat horse meat for every meal.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at the young men at the table, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

What follows is a scene of sweeping away everything in a whirlwind.

The little brat is starving me to death.

Among the fourteen people in front of him, Yang Mingwu is the oldest, but he is only twenty-five years old.

Yang Qinwu is the youngest, only fourteen years old.

With so many people eating together, you can imagine the scene.

A large porcelain bowl of wheat rice was eaten up by them in just five bites.

Yang Zhengshan felt that he had to save more money in the future, otherwise he would not be able to support these young men.

Of course, Yang Zhengshan would not be stingy and let these guys go hungry.

Practicing martial arts requires a lot of energy and nutrition, and you can't do it without eating enough.

These dozen people are his team, so naturally he has to train them well.

……

Yang Zhengshan thought he would see Zhou Lan soon, but he didn't expect that he had stayed in the house for three days without seeing Zhou Lan.

If Zhao Yuan hadn't come to see her from time to time, he would have thought that Zhou Lan had forgotten about him.

Zhao Yuan always said that Zhou Lan was busy. Yang Zhengshan didn't know whether Zhou Lan was really busy or what she was busy with.

Yang Zhengshan was a little worried at first, but as time passed, his worries disappeared.

They come, the security.

No matter what Zhou Lan wants to do, since he is here, she can just wait patiently.

After calming down, Yang Zhengshan no longer stayed in the house, but walked out and strolled around.

"Dad, look, that's the Hundred Medicine Pavilion. It's said there are many precious medicines in it!"

During these three days, Yang Mingzhi had already explored almost every street and alley in Guancheng.

He had a general idea of ​​the peculiar shops on the street.

Yang Zhengshan stood on the busy street and looked up at the plaque of Baiyaoge.

The three large gold-plated characters were written in a flowing style, which looked extremely imposing. The three-story building had intricate eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and flying eaves and corners, which were exquisite and gorgeous. Yang Zhengshan looked at it carefully, then looked back at the shops he passed by, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

The background of this Baiyaoge seems to be extraordinary.

On the entire street, all the shops are one or two stories high, except for Baiyaoge, which is three stories high and is so gorgeously decorated.

Without a big enough background, how can you stand out from the crowd?

"Dad, it would be great if we could also get a precious medicine!" Yang Mingzhi said with some longing.

The so-called precious medicine refers to herbs that are relatively old, rare, and of great use to warriors.

For example, century-old ginseng is a precious medicine.

For low-level warriors, precious medicines are natural treasures, and getting one is like getting help from heaven.

But Yang Zhengshan didn't care much about the precious medicine. He had the spiritual spring water, so there was no need for him to think about the out-of-reach precious medicine.

"Okay, stop daydreaming and let's go!"

Yang Zhengshan interrupted Yang Mingzhi's unrealistic thoughts and continued walking along the street.

But after they had been walking for a while, they discovered that the street ahead was blocked.

The three-meter-wide street was blocked by pedestrians in three layers inside and outside.

Yang Zhengshan stood on tiptoe, wanting to see what was happening in front, but unfortunately there were so many people in front that he couldn't see what was going on inside at all.

Yang Mingzhi was very smart. He walked up to a passerby and asked, "Brother, what happened ahead?"

A passerby who was watching the excitement was suddenly interrupted and said unhappily: "Can't you watch it yourself?"

"Oh, you can't see it, brother, please be kind and tell me about it!" Yang Mingzhi said with a flattering look.

The passerby may have found him pleasing to the eye, or may have had nothing to do, so he started to talk, "You don't need to look, just listen to the sound and you know it's the fourth young master of the Zhang family beating someone!"

"The fourth young master of the Zhang family! Who is the fourth young master of the Zhang family?" Yang Mingzhi continued to ask.

"Who else could it be? The one from the Zhang family!"

"Zhang family!" Yang Mingzhi rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "That father-in-law's family!"

He has been very busy these days, and has been inquiring about what's happening in the city.

He had learned about the big shots, forces, novel places, etc. in the city. Although he did not find out any secret information, he also got a lot of open information.

The passerby also lowered his voice and said, "Yes, the fourth young master of the Zhang family is very fierce. Not long ago, the son of my second uncle's aunt was whipped because he walked a little closer to this young master."

"And last month, this gentleman saw the young lady from the Song family while she was shopping, and she was taken back to be his eighteenth concubine!"

The two men's voices became lower and lower, but their expressions became more and more exciting.

Yang Mingzhi, in particular, showed an expression of extreme shock at one moment, then an exaggerated exclamation at another, and from time to time he would speak flattering words with a fawning look on his face.

Yang Zhengshan, who was standing not far behind, saw this and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This guy actually has a talent for being an actor!
Look at the way his expression changes, without any pause. Although the expression is a little exaggerated, it seems more real in the eyes of passers-by.

The fourth young master of the Zhang family!
Yang Zhengshan seemed to be thinking about something.

Yang Mingzhi had told him about the situation of the forces within the city.

He also knew about the Zhang family.

Although the Zhang family is not a prominent family, it is a top family force in Chongshanguan City.

Because there is a big man standing behind the Zhang family.

The eunuch Zhang Yude guarding Chongshan Pass.

Normally, eunuchs have no sons, but this eunuch in charge not only has a son, but also four grandsons.

It is said that after Zhang Yude came to power, he adopted a son from his relatives.

If you have a son, you will have several grandchildren.

Today, Zhang Yude not only has grandchildren, but also several great-grandchildren.

As a eunuch, Zhang Yude could still enjoy the blessing of having many children and grandchildren, which made him love them very much.

The eunuch guarding the garrison is the emperor's representative, and no one in the entire Chongshan Pass is willing to provoke him.

With his support, the Zhang family's status will naturally rise.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yude was just a eunuch, and his son was just a farmer's son.

The Zhang family is like a nouveau riche, without any foundation at all.

Coupled with Zhang Yude's protection of his own people, this created a group of vicious and dissolute young men.

The most notorious among them is Zhang Chen, the fourth young master of the Zhang family.

Listening to the shouting and screaming coming from the crowd, Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly.

The water in the mountains is quite deep and he cannot interfere with it at will.

Just as he was about to call Yang Mingzhi to leave, a scolding suddenly came from behind him.
