Chapter 70: The Lawsuit
Fee Chapter (12 points)
The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou really came to Zhang's Mansion to buy the recipe for the bacon as Erlang expected.
Needless to say, Erlang deliberately said that since a carriage was entered in the village, there were people talking about it when he went to Erlang's house. When someone came to ask, Erlang had discussed it with the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou in advance, and the shopkeeper was also happy to see Erlang say such a thing, and the cook of Tianxianglou had good skills, and he had thoroughly understood the recipe of the Dong family, and he would never buy our house from now on. After saying that, Erlang still pretended to have a bitter gourd face, looking like he had lost a lot of money.
Some people laughed and said that since it is your family's recipe, it can still make money by making it cheaper and selling it. ”
Erlang smiled honestly and said that since people have understood the recipe, it is not worth much. The shopkeeper's kindness gave me five taels of silver, and from then on we never cooked that dish again, nor did we tell anyone else. ”
Some people envy Erlang for getting five taels of silver, and some people laugh at Erlang's stupid hat. When Da Lang heard the news, he saw the couple holding their children and playing heartlessly in the house.
"I heard that you sold that recipe for five taels of silver?" Da Lang asked in disbelief, and Liu Ruyi followed behind and looked anxiously.
Erlang nodded and said yes, everyone has figured it out, and it's not interesting to keep it. ”
Da Lang nodded regretfully and said the same, but some people said that now they gave you five taels of silver to seal, and they will no longer make that bacon in the future? ”
Erlang still nodded indifferently, and Da Lang shook his body in disbelief. Liu Ruyi hugged Da Lang and said with a smile Since this is the case, the second brother might as well give us the recipe, we are a family and will not tell others. ”
Dong Xiaoman sneered, and it was really as the couple thought. On his face, he asked quietly, what does the eldest brother want to do? Your little shop can't sell anything that expensive. ”
Liu Ruyi smiled and said with a smile, the shop can't make money by selling some food, so it's better to sell bacon. I see that Tianxianglou has won you, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous. ”
Dong Xiaoman looked embarrassed and said, But we signed a contract, if we tell others, we will accompany a thousand taels of silver. ”
Da Lang stared at Erlang and his wife as if he saw a ghost, gritted his teeth and said tremblingly, If you tell others, you will pay 1,000 taels? They only gave five taels, and that's your recipe. ”
Erlang shrugged indifferently and said If we don't tell others, it's over, five taels of silver, enough for the three of us to chew for a long time. ”
Liu Ruyi didn't believe that their husband and wife would be so stupid, and said suspiciously, no, at least I have to give you two or three hundred taels as hush money. ”
Dong Xiaoman said in a tone that you are an idiot, they have already understood the formula, and the recipe is worthless. When all the people in the world have understood it, we are afraid that we will not even have five taels of silver. Second sister-in-law, don't you even understand this truth?
Liu Ruyi thought about it in her heart, and it was indeed the same, and their husband and wife seemed to be thoughtful, but what they said was really the truth.
Da Lang sat there disheartened and silent, and only muttered for a long time that my life in this life is like this, and it seems that I can't be rich and expensive. ”
Erlang was a little unbearable, and said Actually, I heard one thing, if the eldest brother has the courage, he may be able to make a fortune. ”
Dong Xiaoman turned his head to look at Erlang in surprise, did he still have something else to say?
Da Lang stared at Erlang with bright eyes, Erlang touched his nose and said I heard that Boss Guo in the city is Xiaoman's cousin, the one we saw when we collected grain. ”
Da Lang waved his hand impatiently, what the hell is going on? ”
Erlang said that he told me that the price of food has risen sharply, and I am afraid that next year will be more expensive than this year. If the eldest brother has the heart, he might as well stock up on some food at home, and then sell it when the price rises sharply, can't he make a lot of money? ”
After listening to Da Lang's depressed decadence, I still have a big deal there, and the price of food is also a matter for the people in the city. Our crops are grown and eaten, can we still starve to death? ”
Dong Xiaoman could see that Erlang was still thinking about his eldest brother in his heart, and he also had the heart to help persuade me I have heard the old man say in the past that there were people who starved to death in that disaster year, and it would be good if the eldest brother had money in his hand to hoard food. Can you still lose it? ”
Da Lang thought to himself, last year's harvest was not good, and this year there has not been a drop of water, if there is no harvest in the field, it will not really starve to death. Then he nodded and said in a muffled voice, I asked my father, his old man has been digging in the field all his life, and he is transparent. ”
Erlang also nodded, and he didn't know what he was sure of to let his brother do, in case he lost it, it would be a lot of resentment.
Regardless of the old house of the Zhang family and the house of the Zhang family, Dong Xiaoman insisted on buying grain. She didn't want to be a big landlord, she thought that since there was a war, it would inevitably harm the people, and if something happened, she wouldn't starve to death if she had food to eat.
Even if there is no unforeseen impact here, it is not too much to make a small fortune.
The husband and wife were afraid of the difficulties of a long-tongued woman like the Li family, so when they bought food, Erlang pulled them back to the mountain behind their house in the middle of the night.
When they bought the house, they had already returned the mountain to their husbands and wives, and the land on the mountain had not been cultivated, and there were many trees. Erlang took Xiaogang Xiaohu to dig for a few days, made a cave and put in the grain.
Erlang once smiled and said to Xiao Gang, you think that when the food is expensive, we will make a lot of money. Hehe, if the bandits and bandits come, we can save our lives by hiding the food here. ”
This was a joke, the bandits and bandits didn't come, but Erlang was arrested as a strong man, fortunately Dong Xiaoman survived the catastrophe thanks to these grains, which is also a later story.
The husband and wife spent a lot of silver before and after, and there were no two hundred taels left in their hands at the very least.
Erlang thought about it for a long time, and said to Dong Xiaoman, the days are not much peaceful now, our money is all at home, if one day it is bad, the thief will suffer a big loss. ”
Dong Xiaoman smiled and said just you? With you, a well-known live donkey, who else dares to come to our house to make trouble? ”
Erlang said disapprerovingly, in case the house runs out of water, I can see the old lady of the Wang family hiding the silver in several places. ”
Dong Xiaoman said, Do you still want to hide the silver in my mother's house? ”
Erlang didn't think about it so much, but after listening to it, he was very happy that what you said was reasonable, even if it was a thief, he didn't want to go to the hunter's house. There is no money except animal skins, and if it is fed, it is very likely that it will be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. ”
Dong Xiaoman thought Erlang was joking, and didn't want Erlang to drive to Dong's house the next day. exchanged the silver tickets of their husband and wife into broken silver and gave them to Dong's mother to keep them for their husband and wife.
Dong's mother also felt that Erlang's matter was a bit redundant, but it was also a good thing to trust her family so much from another angle. He found an inconspicuous corner, put the silver in the jar, dug a pit, and buried it.
In the days when there are deposits and grain deposits, Dong Xiaoman and Erlang are very comfortable.
But what is uncomfortable is Xiaogang and Xiaohu, who have been distracted, and the two and a half children are thinking about doing some business all day long.
After thinking about it, he actually moved the idea of putting Yinzi money, and this matter was beaten up by Erlang after the two stinky boys.
The two of them were still unconvinced, saying that Erlang was a pedantic person, and there was something wrong with the hard-earned money they were holding.
Erlang said angrily, if you have any interest, you will open a money bank. It's not a shame to do these dirty things behind your back! ”
In fact, Erlang is afraid that the two children will learn badly, and the people who borrow money are nothing more than gamblers, if the two children become gamblers with money in their hands, then wouldn't their husband and wife be the culprits?
A few days after the peaceful days, another major event happened in Zhangjiagou.
Xianglan's cousin was actually kicked out, and when asked about the reason, it was actually related to Erlang, according to someone who inquired about the news, Xianglan was beaten and sent home to recuperate because she was secretly with Erlang.
This matter was like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, and the entire Zhangjiagou was shocked, which was a big gossip.
In order to investigate clearly, Erlang asked the village chief to write the complaint and went to the county lord to avenge his grievances.
Because Xianglan has already been sent, according to the rules, the adulterer and the woman must be immersed in the pig cage. Erlang didn't want to be detained like this, he was inexplicably said to be an adulterer, and he was very angry.
The county magistrate saw that it was the case of the concubine of the Zhou family, and he was reluctant to accept it, but fortunately, Erlang had a child who was studying and was about to prepare for the exam.
Dong Xiaoman trusts Erlang, and she has to trust at this time, who wants to say that we are adulterers and women in this kind of thing?
Dong Xiaoman cried and cried to find the county master, sent some dried fruit cakes and said a lot of good things. At this time, the woman is still rarely involved, the woman is very embarrassed and dare not say much, Dong Xiaoman handed the woman ten taels of silver and said My husband was indeed framed, he will go to the private meeting with me all day long? Now my husband is in trouble, and he is bothered to help me search for more witnesses. ”
The woman's eyes were straight when she saw the silver, and she stared at Dong Xiaoman in surprise, Dong Xiaoman didn't dare to show her flaws, so she had to cry and say I borrowed all my relatives, but I begged the woman to help me, if the husband didn't have anything to do, we worked hard together for a few years to repay the money. If my husband is gone, I, I won't want to pay it off for the rest of my life......"
The woman relented and said I will help you, well, you are a poor man. Who would have thought of such a thing! ”
Money can make ghosts grind, and the county lord who got the benefits immediately lost those ideas that didn't want to cause trouble.
Joke, Erlang's younger brother Zhang Chengjie is a scholar, and if he wins one day, it will also bring political achievements. Isn't such a person worth wooing over than the Zhou family, who has always been self-righteous?
A few boards went down, and the people of the Zhou family told the truth! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
