Li Guangyin didn't know that his every move was arranged properly. On the contrary, he felt that he was touching on the truth about the town.

After chatting with the manager of Ma City, he chatted with an old man who came to the town to exchange eggs for rice.

The other party's eloquence was not as good as before. But Li Guangyin felt that the news he got was more real. He wanted to know the truth about the town and the true face of the city lord.

After asking many people in a row, Li Guangyin finally had a rough impression of the town and the city lord Lu.

Simply put, half of the deeds of that City Lord Lu are true. He is the most powerful person Li Guangyin has ever seen in his life.

He was alone and enslaved by the horse bandits, and was able to get into the horse bandits and gain the trust of the other party. Then, four years later, he set up a plan to kill all the horse bandits in one fell swoop.

The courage and strategy shown in this, as well as the ruthlessness, are all the only ones that Li Guangyin has seen in his life.

Li Guangyin, who knew everything, was basically relieved. At least Lu Xiao should not be a bandit. He should also look for himself as he said, wanting to reopen this trade route.

This time, Li Guangyin began to think about this matter seriously. He was thinking about the profits it represented. As a businessman, after knowing that there was no danger of life, he immediately returned to this.

This road saves about a month or so than the path he is now. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage. The key is how to convince others.

Three days later, Li Guangyin met Lu Xiao again in the living room. This time, Li Guangyin sincerely admired and saluted. For a young man in his prime, it is rare in the world to take over a city with one person. Especially this town is still the kind of city with strong folk customs and the most difficult to control.

But in the past three days, Li Guangyin only saw one thing. In this city, Lu Xiao is the god of everyone.

"Lord Lu, I agreed to your previous request. However, we need to discuss the detailed joints carefully."

The discussion between Li Guangyin and Lu Xiao lasted for two full days. The two imagined various possible problems and formulated various details.

Lu Xiao even asked Li Guangyin to put out his goods, and now a trade fair is coming to the town.

I have been here for more than four years. Lu Xiao has long noticed that the various living conditions here are amazingly poor. Within 500 miles, I can't even find a cave that can fire ceramics. Even simple living utensils such as teacups and bowls are seriously insufficient.

Many farmers in villages even use pottery and wooden utensils in their homes.

Now that there are no horse bandits, there is no need to worry about good things being taken away. Lu Xiao wants to inspire their consumption concept. Only when money flows, it is money and can the city prosper.

Li Guangyin agreed to this request without hesitation. For him, after he made a plan to reopen the business road with Lu Xiao, he no longer looked down on this small business. Because Lu Xiao promised his partner for twenty years. Li Guangyin understood that if this matter was done, it would be enough to ensure the prosperity of his family for fifty years.

In this way, he naturally looked down on the business of wading through mountains and rivers and carrying a belt.

The transaction lasted for five days. It was not until all the villagers around who could come came that they finally ended.

Lu Xiao sent Ding'an and escorted Li Guangyin's caravan out of the city with the best twenty sword hands. Xiang Qizheng walked behind Lu Xiao and said to him.

"If your plan is really successful, our knife hands are not enough. A caravan needs at least twenty knife hands guards. There are less than a hundred people in total, which is not enough."

"So we are going to prepare now. You should go to the cities in the north and buy some children from there. Although the court has banned the buying and selling of people, this phenomenon is very common among these border cities. We will start cultivating them from now on, and when the trade routes are truly opened, it will be almost enough."

"It's good that you have a plan. How many years can I move like this old bone? I'll try to train you as many people as possible. Before I die, I might really see the kind of scene you said."

"You will definitely see it." Lu Xiao said affirmatively.

"If others say it, I won't believe it. But you said, I must live until then and see it with my own eyes. Go back early today."

Xiang Qi seemed to say something casually. Lu Xiao didn't care, but he had nothing to do. He decided to go home early.

As soon as I got home, I saw the girl working in front of the eucalyptus board. Lu Xiao walked over and saw that the girl was covered in flour and seemed to be in a bit embarrassed.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiao glanced at it. There were a few doughs on the eucalyptus plate, which seemed to have something added, and it turned yellow. But I couldn't tell what was being made.

"What else do you do?"

"Mooncakes! I heard my father say it once when I was a child. When he was young, he went to a distant city with him and saw a merchant selling it. He couldn't afford it, so he asked him how he made it. After he came back, he told me.

But for many years, I can’t remember how to do it. I did it a few times, but it didn’t work out.”

The girl looked disappointed. She originally wanted to surprise Lu Xiao, but she obviously failed. For a girl born in the rural areas of the Western Regions, her pastry skills were obviously not enough to complete the pastry process of dim sum such as mooncakes. What's more, she had never really learned the detailed craftsmanship. She tried it by relying on her childhood oral narration. It would be strange if she could succeed.

Lu Xiao looked at the dough on the eucalyptus board, thought for a while and then said.

"I'll help."

"No, no." The girl quickly stood up and protected her eucalyptus board. "You are a man, how can you do such a thing?"

"Haha, you don't know that the chefs in Zhongyuan Restaurant are all men. I still know a little about mooncakes."

Lu Xiao didn't lie, he really knew a little...theory.

I looked at the ingredients on the table, flour, frosting, chestnut, and some lard. These are all the ingredients. Compared to later generations, it was a bit too simple.

Lu Xiao thought for a while, and then he made some nuts such as walnuts and peanuts through the cabinet. He broke them and made some nut fillings.

In fact, Lu Xiao likes to eat red bean paste or egg yolk mooncakes most. But he doesn’t have bean paste at all, so he can’t make egg yolks. He can only use the five-nut filling of nuts to pay attention to it. Of course, nut filling is an eternal classic and he can fully accept it.

The girl looked at Lu Xiao in surprise and melted the frosting in water, then added flour and started to mix the dough again. Then she fryed all the nut fillings, mixed the flour frosting and water to make a filling ball one by one.

Then use the well-made noodles to wrap the filling balls and make them into the shape of a thick-dough cake. Then brush the surface with oil and put them directly into the oven to bake.
