Zhao Tiedan was slightly stunned after hearing this, he didn't understand what Ma Heng meant, but looking at Ma Heng's smiling face, he didn't think too much, and stammered at Ma Heng and explained: "But, but, I just discussed with this big brother and am going to sell it to him!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Ma Heng's face instantly showed an imperceptible smirk, and he said to Zhao Tiedan: "Are you sure to sell it to him?" ”

"Hmm!" Although Zhao Tiedan was a little scared of the person in front of him, he nodded very firmly in the simplicity and promise that a fisherman is accustomed to.

"Oh! All right! But you have to pay taxes before you trade! In an instant, Ma Heng changed the smile just now, and said to Zhao Tiedan a little coldly.

"Didn't I pay my taxes? That's when we get off the boat. ”

"Did you hand it over? I remember I gave you money! I bought it! Just when Ma Heng Ha was laughing, Shen You opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you say that you can't buy and sell without paying taxes?" Since we sold you fish, we must have already paid you taxes! ”

Everyone was stunned, and Ma Heng was also a little speechless. But after all, it was the gap in his words that Shen You picked, but he quickly scolded Shen You viciously: "Little cub, you don't want to live!" I'm telling you, I'm taxed once in the morning and once in the afternoon! It's past 12 o'clock now, and it's time to collect the afternoon tax! ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the people behind him came up to pick up the fish and prepared to leave. Shen You looked at a group of them, and wanted to do it, but he still controlled it, and he suddenly thought of the "Thousand Gates" in his heart, the ancestors and masters did not have any kung fu, but they could all leave their names in history, is this a test for himself to come to this society?

The young men with them also cringed. A crowd watched as the horses crossed them and drove away. And Ma Heng disdainfully flicked the cigarette butt he had finished at Zhao Tiedan when he was leaving. The cigarette butt floated in an arc in the air and fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

At this time, Li Cripple said to Zhao Tiedan: "Let's go, big brother, we can't afford to mess with him, let's go!" ”

Zhao Tiedan was still a little stunned, but Shen You suddenly grabbed the cripple Li who was about to leave, and asked him in a low voice: "Uncle, in this way, I still have a fish, about half an arm's length, in this way, I will give it to you in private, you look at it and give me some money, and then give us some food to eat, okay?" ”

Li Cripple was stunned after hearing this, obviously he didn't expect such a thing, after all, a mackerel nearly half a meter long should still be able to earn a few, and Shen You's request was so simple. He is also a real person, and after listening to Shen You's words, he thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, there are still some fishmongers, and Ma Heng's family lives near here. The two of them made an appointment to meet again in the evening when there were few people.

It's getting dark. Rao is entering the spring, but it is still a little cold in the evening, Shen You and they nest in the boat, and several young people obviously have lost their initial enthusiasm, sighing and nesting in the corner of the boat like a defeated rooster listless.

Li Cripple really kept his word, and when it was almost seven o'clock, he came to Zhao Tiedan's place with a dark bag on his back, first put the bag on the boat, and took out two kettles filled with water, a few pickle gnocchi and two bottles of inferior liquor. And then there's the half-pack of steamed buns.

In Zhao Tiedan's surprised gaze, Shen You hugged a mackerel over, Li Cripple saw that the fish was bigger than Shen You said before, and he was also very happy in his heart, after putting the fish into an empty bag, and then stuffed Zhao Tiedan with a little money and turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, Shen You left him behind and whispered to him: "Uncle, you can still see people clearly, what if you are seen walking on your back?" You might as well have something to eat with us before leaving. ”

Li Cripple thought to himself, he never thought that this young man's mind was so meticulous, and he patronized it happily, he really didn't think too much. Immediately sat down and ate with Zhao Tiedan.

The two bottles of wine were drunk in turn after a group of people, and after a while, Li Cripple became familiar with the people on the boat. With the strength of his wine, Shen You asked him ignorantly, "Uncle, did you buy it and eat it yourself?" ”

"Hey! I don't have that blessing, it's all sent to the hotel. I won't hide it from you, I can earn some hard-earned money by sending it to the hotel. ”

As soon as Shen You heard that Li Cripple was telling the truth, he immediately continued: "Uncle, it's the first time I've come to the city, I don't know much about it, you tell me about the hotel!" ”

Looking at Shen You's clear and bright eyes, Li Cripple didn't guess anything else, and immediately told Shen You about the things in the city.

One of the two wanted to ask, and the other wanted to say that under the catalysis of alcohol, Li Cripple had already told the signature dishes and history of major restaurants. After all, this is what he does, and he must know about the major hotels.

At this time, Shen You asked a little casually: "Uncle Li, which hotel do you usually send to?" ”

"Me? The largest hotel people disdain to take care of me, generally deal with Ma Wangye, we don't dare to mix, is the general hotel because I am stupid, collect less, they don't look down on me, I often go to the Furong Hotel, the boss's surname is Zhou, the hotel, although the store is small, but the boss is more real, every time I go, the boss has to leave me some if he has food. ”

After Shen You heard this, he secretly remembered the Furong Hotel in his heart. After eating and drinking, Shen You sent Li Cripple out of the city. After coming back, Zhao Tiedan said with a slight complaint: "I talked to him about more money than this during the day!" ”

Shen You smiled and said, "Uncle Tiedan, people have to eat!" Let's go, arrange for someone to be on the boat, and then two more let's take the fish. ”

It was getting late, and a somewhat yellowish moon hung in the sky, and most of the people were reluctant to move, wanting to sleep on the ship for a while. In the end, Zhao Tiedan and another young man followed Shen out of the boat with some reluctance.

The three of them each took two fish, followed Li Cripple from a distance, and touched all the way into the city. After entering the city, he first found a place to stay, and when it was just dawn, Shen You inquired all the way and came to the Furong Hotel.

When the three of them just arrived at the Furong Hotel, they saw a happy Li lame man coming out of the store. Zhao Tiedan and the others only understood what Shen You meant, and both of them looked at Shen You with admiration.

Shen You didn't pay attention to their gaze at all, and when he saw Li Cripple walking away, he angrily snorted at Zhao Tiedan and the others. The three of them walked towards the Hibiscus Hotel.

As soon as I entered, I heard a person who looked like a boss say to the guy: "Xiao Wang, go to the door and hang the blackboard, saying that our mackerel is in stock today!" ”

Shen You coughed softly, the boss turned around, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at the mackerel that Shen You and the three of them were carrying, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How many, shipment?" ”

Shen You saw that Boss Zhou was about forty years old, his eyes were very attentive, and he was very decent at first glance, so he immediately nodded and said, "Boss Zhou is a real person, so I came to you!" ”

Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Okay! Just say this to you, I will give you a higher price. ”

Just as the two of them were discussing, they only heard a noisy cursing sound at the door of the hotel across the road. Shen You looked out, only to see several people beating around a teenager, and then turned his head, only to see Boss Zhou shaking his head and saying, "Alas, these people! ”

Shen You asked with some surprise: "Beat people in broad daylight, no one cares?" ”

"Whatever! The owner of the restaurant opposite has relatives who are officials, and he is not a good person, he has a group of thugs, and he has not dared to go up to my store, just because he is afraid of his eyes. People open three meals a day in the morning, noon and evening, so I can only open it at noon and evening, and besides, that child must also take his family's food, so he was beaten! Alas! ”

Shen You thought for a moment after hearing this, looked at the restaurant called Yipinxian opposite, and said to Boss Zhou: "I sold you five, I have to keep one for my own use!" After speaking, ignoring Zhao Tiedan's surprised gaze, he only handed Boss Zhou five articles.

Boss Zhou didn't ask too much, paid very happily, and then arranged for someone to stuff a steamed bun for each of them and send them out.

After going out, Shen You handed the money to Zhao Tiedan and said, "Uncle Tiedan, you take this money, buy something for everyone from the city, and then go back at noon, if they are willing to come here to have a look, you also take them from the city for a walk, after all, they are all coming for the first time." But you remember one thing, go back as soon as you're done. We still have some seafood left, so you can send them to Boss Zhou! ”

Zhao Tiedan nodded, this loyal man had already unconsciously regarded the young man who was much younger than him as the backbone, but he still couldn't help asking, "Are you not with us?" ”

Shen You shook his head and said in a low voice. I still have something to do.

At this time, the people on the other side of the road also seemed to be tired, and they scolded and walked away. Shen You's heart moved, handed the remaining mackerel to Zhao Tiedan, and walked over to the young man.

After he passed, he saw that the young man had slowly climbed up, Shen You saw that his clothes were full of patches, and he looked very honest, so he handed him the steamed bun that Boss Zhou had just given him, and smiled at him: "Eat!" ”

The boy was a little surprised, but without the slightest hesitation, the steamed bun swallowed in a big gulp. At this time, Zhao Tiedan and the two of them also followed, and the young man looked at the steamed buns in their hands and swallowed his saliva gently.

Without thinking, Shen You snatched the steamed buns from Zhao Tiedan's hands and handed them to the young man at once, and after the three steamed buns were put down, the young man burped with satisfaction. "What are they hitting you for?" Seeing that he finished eating, Shen You asked.

"If I rob their fritters, they will naturally beat me!" "What are you doing robbing them of fritters?"

"I'm hungry!"

"Aren't you afraid that they will beat you?"

"What are you afraid of? I've practiced kung fu, and my body is stiff, and they haven't scratched me enough for a few hits! Besides, if I take their things and don't have any money to give them, they will beat me a few times! As he spoke, the boy stood up. Shen You watched him stretch and looked like nothing was going on.

"My name is Lu Fang, and there will be a period later!" The young man actually hugged his fist at Shen You, then turned around and left.

Looking at the young man's distant figure, the young man who was with Shen You said a little unhappily: "He ate our meal!" ”

Shen You shook his head at the young man's back, and Zhao Tiedan saw the unfathomable smile on his face from the side, and he didn't know what this young man who was much younger than himself was thinking.
