Dading twenty-one years, the third day of the third month of March, Shangsi Festival, "willow green eyebrows like a seal." Whether it is warm or cold is still undecided. Cherishing the flowers is for the flowers, but the wine is disgusted with alcohol. The flies and snails are all suspended, and the eternal luxury is the same. Dongjun Xiaoxiao promoted the return date at night, and thirty-six flowers were delivered. It is to describe the solar terms at this time.

The women of the wealthy families in the county can only be locked up at home all year round, and they can only go out of the door on this day, and they can only go out to incense, go out, and swim in the lake.

The peasants who eat on reliable days are not in such a good mood, and the spring rain that has been waiting for a month has not yet fallen, many people are anxious to go to the temple to worship the Buddha and incense these days, the village is specially driven to the ox cart, and the people in the village are sent to worship the Buddha, even Aunt A Niu, Aunt Si, Liangzi Niang and many other big aunts and little daughters-in-law have followed, because there are many people who go, the village is also the boss Tu Yan's family to borrow a mule cart, and Li Dalang drove the car together.

Situ Yan was reluctant to join in the fun, and seeing that the brothers had been busy for so long, she wanted the four of them to follow, but San Lang said that he would stay with Situ Yan, and in the end, only Da Lang took Erlang and Shiro together.

When everyone left, the village was less laughing and scolding, but it was a lot quieter, "Third brother, why don't you go?" Tired of being tired for so many days, it's not good to go out and have fun? ”

"I want to stay at home and read." In fact, San Lang didn't tell the truth, although he wanted to read, but if Situ Yan also went, he would follow, he didn't go because he didn't want to leave his little sister at home alone.

"You can't keep staring at that book, you have to rest when it's time to rest, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort." After a few people read the book, Situ Yan was not too straightforward when he spoke, and occasionally used some idioms and allusions, so as to teach a few people the truth and knowledge from bit by bit.

"I know, if Xiao Wu has anything else to do, just call me?" San Lang helped Situ Yan dismantle and dry all the winter clothes and quilts, and then told him to go into the western room to read. Situ Yan waited for San Lang to enter the west room, and then carried the basket into the mountain, the water cellar in the backyard had long been empty, and she didn't know when the rain would fall, she had to run two more times to fill the water cellar, and at the end of March, she would go to the Liaohe River to net fish fry.

Maybe it's because there are more people who pray to God and worship Buddha, maybe it's the time to come, the long-awaited spring rain finally got up on the fifth day of the first month of March, the spring rain is dripping, moistening the dry land, early in the morning before the rooster crows, I heard the villagers shouting "It's raining!" And they all put on their clothes and ran into their fields.

Situ Yan was not in a good mood at this time, there was no shortage of water in her field, she sat in an ox cart driven by a little lamb, wore a straw coat borrowed from Aunt Fu, and entered the county town in the wind and rain. On this market day, she didn't prepare anything to sell, but had to find someone to discuss the sale of salt.

After entering the city and going to the county school as before, Xiao Yang'er helped to exchange firewood for waste paper, because there was nothing to sell, Situ Yan said that he wanted to buy some things from his daughter's family, so he and Xiao Yang'er waited at the city gate at noon before they went to work.

After separating, Situ Yan first found a place where no one was, hid in the space ring, changed her face, slightly dull yellow with the gray picture at the bottom of the pot, and then ordered a pockmark on her face, and also dotted a mole on the left corner of her mouth, then changed her clothes and dressed herself as a rich and noble girl, wrapped her hair in a headscarf, and hung a purse on her waist, but her height of less than 1.4 meters ruined the overall effect. This is a fact that cannot be changed, so we can only do it head-on.

After getting out of the space ring, I looked around to make sure that no one had found it, so I went to find a grocery store that was willing to sell illicit salt. Situ Yan took a big turn in the grocery market, observed the words of every shopkeeper and the goods sold, only the easternmost part of the Dingji grocery store, the geographical location is remote, there are many forks, you can attack and retreat, you can escape, the shopkeeper's heart is ruthless, only such people dare to do some smuggling crimes, flies do not bite seamless eggs, the more greedy the better, but it is also easy to be hacked, so you have to be 100,000 careful.

Choosing a shop and walking in, "Man! Situ Yan entered the shop and pretended to be shopping

The guy was a little stupid, but he had been doing it for a long time, and he had some eyes, and he could see that the guest was not very old, but only this one of his clothes came out of a large family, and he greeted him with a smile, "Distinguished guest, what do you need in your house, we can send large things to the door?" ”

"Man, is the shopkeeper here?" Situ Yan first glanced at the things on the shelves, and then found a chair and sat down.

"Yes, yes, wait a minute." The guy looked at Situ Yan's frame and thought that he was a big family, and he had to find the shopkeeper to decide, so he went to the backyard to call people happily.

In an instant, the shopkeeper walked out, with a standard smile on his face like a businessman's face. This person Situ Yan had already observed, but now that he saw it, he didn't look closely.

"This distinguished guest, I am the proprietor and shopkeeper of this Ding Ji grocery store, I don't know where to go in the house, but what do I have to buy?" When the shopkeeper came in, he looked at Situ Yan all over, although he felt that this guest was a little younger, but he didn't dare to slack off. Who knows if it came out of a noble family, and he can't afford to provoke any big people at that time.

"Shopkeeper, this is not the place to talk, you see ,......"

"Oh, then, I have a quiet room in this backyard, which is used for accounting on weekdays, if you don't dislike it, please move into the backyard to discuss."

Situ Yan waited for him to say this, followed the person into the backyard, the two sat down, the guy served tea, Situ Yan and the others in the house retreated, and then spoke, "Shopkeeper, don't ask who I am in charge, I won't elaborate, I just want to ask the shopkeeper, you can collect 'private salt' here?" ”

"The distinguished guest laughed, I am a small shop, and people are soft-spoken, and I never dare to do that kind of thing." Shopkeeper Ding was first taken aback by Situ Yan's words, if it weren't for Situ Yan's young age, he would have thought that the government knew that he was selling illicit salt to find trouble.

"Shopkeeper, we don't say dark words in front of the Mingren, I can find it, and naturally I know a little bit about the details of your store. You don't have to worry that I was sent by the government, and it is impossible for the government to send a child to test you. It's just that I got some private salt by chance, and the amount is not large, and I caught up with something at home, so I thought about changing some money for emergency. ”

Shopkeeper Ding looked at Situ Yan again, his heart was a little loose, he also went into private salt, but he was all talking to some regular customers, this was the first time he had done this with a raw guest, and he was a little apprehensive. According to his guess, this little guy may be from which house, stealing the salt from the house and selling it, if that is the case, he can coax the salt to be collected, and then call the arrest to arrest people, maybe he can climb up to a big family, no matter how bad he is, he can get some private salt for nothing.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that things are feasible, "Your Excellency is serious, I can't help it, you also know, how tightly this government grasps private salt, I don't know how much you have in your hands?" ”

"100 pounds."

"That's a lot, I don't know where you got this product?" Situ Yan didn't answer, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, and only lowered his head to drink tea.

Shopkeeper Ding has been doing business for all these years, how can he not see that this is something that people don't want to say, so he hurriedly diverted the topic, "When will it arrive?" ”

"Tomorrow at noon."

"How much is a pound and where is it traded?"

"200 Wen a catty, at the back door of Ding's shopkeeper, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

"Your price is too high, and I can't make a lot of money selling it when I buy it?"

"Whether it's expensive or not depends on whether the goods are good or not, the private salt you have mixed with things here can be sold for 23 Wen a tael, you can take this product back and process it, I'm afraid you won't just make a little money!"

Ding shopkeeper was stunned, but he didn't expect this child to look young and still an understanding person, and his contempt was a little more contemptuous. After thinking about it, he agreed, "Okay." Tomorrow at noon, I'll be waiting here. Situ Yan went out of the door, turned around a few times, and made sure that no one was following, so she entered the ring and changed back to her usual clothes and rushed to the city gate.

Situ Yan had just walked with her front foot, and from the room next to the room where she had just stayed, a man with a seven-point resemblance to the shopkeeper Ding walked out.

"Big brother, this person is a "guest", don't you ask in detail? "This person is the younger brother of the shopkeeper Ding, and he is now a fast person in charge of arrest in the county government. Today, he went to his eldest brother's shop to steal a little bit, and he happened to hear this.

"If I ask in detail, and what is the matter with you, you don't listen to him, even if I ask, he won't say. When the time comes, when he takes the money and pays the salt, you find someone to tie him up and accuse him of stealing, and the two of us will act together in a play, and you will have merit, and I will also get private goods here, and when the salt is sold, I will share half of the money for you, where can I find this good thing. Shopkeeper Ding took the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

"It's still the eldest brother who thinks about it thoroughly." The two of them put together the details again, and they were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night.

Situ Yan knew in her heart that things couldn't go so smoothly, and she couldn't say that she would have to prepare to escape tomorrow. When I got home, I changed my wet clothes first, boiled some ginger syrup and sent it to Li Dalang and a few people. I also looked at the water storage in the Guantian water cellar. Told Li Dalang and a few people that there was no shortage of water in the field, and all the water that was brought down from the mountain should be stored first.

I have only been home for nearly a month, and all the private salt I have made has been weighed out, packed in a cloth bag, and put it in a ring. It's about the same as she calculated at the beginning, and if she rushes out more tonight, it's just enough for a hundred catties. Situ Yan didn't have a shortage of catties and pounds, and she couldn't find someone awkward at such a time, more because she didn't want to make trouble.

Hiding from Li Dalang and a few people, he was busy until the beginning of Yin Shi before he got on the kang for a while, and he didn't dare to sleep, so he made breakfast in the morning and sent a few people out, so he secretly drove the mule cart into the county seat. With the mobile warehouse of Space Ring, it is much easier to get things done.
