Chapter 125: On Fire

After a simple wash and lunch, Zhen Niang went to the front of the ink village.

Now in Mozhuang Shoudian is a guy named Ah Tang, fifteen years old, who has become an adult in this era, but in the future generations, this can be regarded as child labor.

However, this era, thirteen or fourteen, is exactly the time when the students wanted. And Ah Tang also went to private school for a period of time and knew a few words, so Zhen Niang asked Zheng Fuli to take him with him, first as a buddy in Mozhuang, and then learn to learn to recognize ink, of course, when he is free, he can also go to the cigarette shop to learn, of course, learning to light a cigarette is not required.

However, this kid is not stupid, he has some eyes, and he knows that he can enter Li Jiamo Village, and the opportunity is rare. Therefore, there are a lot of chores on Mozhuang on weekdays, but whenever he has free time, he still goes to the backyard Mofang cigarette lighting room to help do some rough work, or add oil and other chores, which also makes him get the eyes of Uncle Quan, the cigarette lighter.

Uncle Quan is the head of lighting cigarettes in Li's ink workshop, when Zhen Niang first took charge of the ink workshop, the second dog was to swoop him and wanted to give Zhen Niang a dismount, but as a result, it was Zhen Niang who gave them a dismount.

This time in Nanjing Mozhuang, when Mrs. Li came over, she brought Uncle Quan over and took charge of the smoke room in Mozhuang.

Ah Tang can enter his eyes, and that is self-creation.

Therefore, when he was free on weekdays, Ah Tang learned to smoke with Uncle Quan, and in the end, this kid is very popular in Mozhuang.

Today, because several stewards and masters of Mozhuang stayed up late last night, Zuihou Huang asked Ah Tang to guard the store and greet customers. This guy is not very old, but he is meticulous in his work. Wake up early in the morning. Just take care of the Mozhuang up and down in an orderly manner.

"The big shopkeeper." Then. Seeing Zhenniang come in, Ah Tang hurriedly said hello, those who came from Huizhou like to call Zhenniang Zhenniang, and the people recruited here in Nanjing are basically called Zhenniang's shopkeeper.

"Is there a lot going on in the morning?" Zhenniang asked.

"It's nothing, just a few come to pick up the goods. I sent the goods according to the receipt. Ah Tang said, took the morning's accounts, and showed them to Zhenniang.

"Hmm. Not bad. Zhenniang looked at the manifest and nodded.

Then we chatted a few more words. It is also mostly some business points. Ah Tang had already heard Uncle Quan say that the big shopkeeper's cigarette lighting jishu was the skill of God, so he took this opportunity to ask a few questions that he didn't understand.

After getting the answer, he took a pen and recorded it like a baby.

In this way, after chatting a few words, seeing that Mozhuang had nothing to do, Zhenniang went out again, it was noon, it was very hot, and there were no guests. The shopkeepers of each family were napping in the shop, and the guys were also squinting. From time to time, they dusted off with a feather duster, while some good proprietors stood in the shade of each house, gossiping.

Of course, Sister Ge Qiu's rape last night couldn't escape everyone's mouths.

"Haha, what kind of person is Ge Dana, I'm afraid the Cao family will be in trouble this time." There is humanity.

"You deserve to be in trouble, and if you dare to do such a thing, you have to dare to bear it." Someone on the side replied.

Zhen Niang had no interest in these gossips, she wanted to go back to the ink shop to light a cigarette, but she had been nesting in the ink shop for the past few days, and she stayed up all night last night, although she slept all morning, but her head was still a little drowsy, so she said hello to Ah Tang and walked to the opposite embankment.

Zhen Niang leaned on the edge of a hundred-year-old willow tree at this time, squinting, the wind by the Qinhuai River always carries a sweetness, today is sunny and sunny, and the river is a little golden under the reflection of the sun.

On the shore, green willows, green embankment, blue sky, white clouds, plus the official street, such as the scenery of the Qingming River, Zhen Niang unconsciously, the head ran up the train, I feel that if one day the future of science and technology can open a few days of ancient tours, it must be the most popular tourist line.

Thinking about it, she was happy herself.

"Stealing half a day of leisure, Miss Li is so interested." At this time, a lazy voice came, Zhen Niang couldn't help but open her eyes, turned her face sideways, and looked over, but it was Luo Jiu, who took a small stool, and carried a small wooden barrel in his hand, a fishing rod, and a small hoe, wearing a hat on his head, a standard fisherman's dress.

"It's not a good time to fish at noon." Zhenniang looked up at the sky. The sun is empty.

"How can there be so much attention, you can fish if you want." Luo Jiu said idly, and then squatted down and dug earthworms in the mud on the side.

Zhen Niang actually wanted to ask him about lending money to the Tian family this time, but after thinking about it, she didn't think it was interesting, so she didn't answer, and turned her face to look at the river.

"Here, reach out, do me a favor and take it." At this time, Luo Jiu's voice came from the side.

Zhen Niang was stunned, subconsciously stretched out her hand, and then felt that the palm of her hand was cold, and the slippery thing was squirming, and when she came back to her senses, it was actually an earthworm, and her face couldn't help but change greatly, but she had always been a strong character, took a deep breath, and then calmly used two fingers to clamp the earthworm and threw it into the water, and out of nowhere a big black fish came out, and swallowed the earthworm in one bite.

Only then did Zhen Niang turn her face sideways and glared at Luo Jiu. The last time I ate xiaolongbao, I also wanted to see myself make a fool of myself, but this time the earthworm is like this, where has this person become stable, in fact, it is still the same as when he was a big boy in Huizhou, and he is very vicious.

Luo Jiu was still waiting for Zhen Niang to scream, but he didn't think that this girl was really unusual, and he was glared at by Zhen Niang again, and couldn't help touching his nose: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect women to seem to be afraid of this." ”

"You're pretty experienced with women." Zhen Niang had a fire in her heart, and she went back sarcastically. However, when these words came out of his mouth, there seemed to be a little sour taste, but in fact, this was not Zhenniang's original intention at all.

"Xiexie compliments, in fact, it's just that you don't have experience to make this kind of mistake." Luo Jiu is a serious way.

Zhen Niang looked at what he said seriously, and she really couldn't tell if this guy was a deliberate prank or really didn't expect it. The fox glanced at Luo Jiu suspiciously.

At this time, Luo Jiu stared at the street not far ahead, frowned and suddenly said, "It's not good, it's on fire." ”

Zhen Niang couldn't help but follow his eyes, and saw the area of Yi Housheng No. B store, a puff of black smoke rose from the skyspace, and there was a faint fire dancing in the black smoke.

"Is your bank on fire?" Zhenniang couldn't help asking. The earthworm thing was put aside.

"Probably not. It should be a raw silk shop not far from the next door. Luo Jiu frowned.

So the two quickened their pace. Came back with a sneak away.

There are already a lot of idlers on the streets. As soon as they saw this situation, they all shouted: "It's not good, the Ge family's silk shop is on fire." ”

Sure enough, the Ge family's silk shop caught fire, but why did it suddenly catch fire in broad daylight.

When Zhenniang arrived, she saw that all the families were holding buckets and wooden basins to put out the fire.

In this era, most of them were wooden pavements, plus the Qinhuai River. The wind is already strong, and if this fire can't be suppressed, it is impossible to say that this piece of the store will be burned. Everyone is concerned, even a few guys and workers from Lijiamozhuang are also helping to put out the fire.

In addition, someone went to the yamen to report, after all, the yamen has a water dragon, and that thing is a weapon to fight fires.

However, fortunately today, the people from the Yamen came quickly. Almost together, the servants of the yamen arrived.

That happened to the Ge family last night. The shop has not been open today, and the fire is in the warehouse behind the shop.

The yacha directly smashed open the door of the raw silk shop with a piece of wood. And then rush to the backyard warehouse. Everyone carried water to put out the fire, and Zhenniang also helped hand the bucket on the side.

At this time, there was not much fire, but it was thick smoke, and people choked with tears.

At this time, Sister Ge Qiu rushed to receive the news and saw the raw silk that was burned black, and her face changed greatly: "My raw silk, my raw silk." So saying, he sat down on the ground and began to weep aloud.

"What's the use of crying at this time, hurry up and save some and save some." Zhen Niang couldn't see her like that, and before that, Sister Ge Qiu had reminded her that someone was going to come to the Li family to return the ink, and Zhen Niang reciprocated Li with a peach, so she also reminded her.

Seeing this, the people around also persuaded one after another. In the event of such a thing, there is no way to do it, but to minimize some losses.

At this time, two middle-aged people who looked like shopkeepers stumbled out of the crowd, and they also jumped to their feet when they looked at the scene.

"My food."

"My Matsue cloth."

As the two of them spoke, their anxious eyes almost popping out.

Zhen Niang looked at these two people, her face was very familiar, she squinted her eyes and looked at them carefully, and recognized them, aren't these two the owners of the two grain stores and goods stores that once rented her shop?

Thinking that day, the Ge family also kept the goods of the two of them in their own warehouse, in order to evade the tatami tax, and it was naturally Ge Dana who benefited.

Sure enough, it is a dog that travels thousands of miles to eat, and a wolf who travels thousands of miles to eat meat, Ge Dana dares to still make money in this way. This time, these two are afraid that they will also suffer some losses, but I am afraid that they will have to fight with the Ge family in the future.

At this time, everyone worked together, and the fire was suppressed, leaving only billowing smoke, which blackened half the sky.

The people who came to help put out the fire also dispersed at this time, after all, there were so many goods piled up in the yard of the Ge family, and everyone also had to avoid suspicion, so they all watched from afar.

Zhen Niang also stood far away, but she watched the team of yacha surround the rice store and the goods company, and then thought about Sister Ge Qiu's rape last night, and always felt that this thing seemed a little strange.

At this time, the two shopkeepers looked at their goods stacked outside, and feared losses, so they hurriedly called a car and asked the man to move the goods.

"Hey, hey. What are you two doing? I want to take advantage of the fire. A messenger stepped forward, and the short stick in his hand fell on the man who was carrying the goods.

"Poor master, no, how can it be, this is our own goods." The way of the two shopkeepers.

"Nonsense, this is the Ge family's raw silk warehouse, how do you put your goods here?" The yacha glared.

As soon as they heard what the yacha said, the two proprietors also knew that something was wrong. He was thinking about explaining.

"I said Lao Sun Lao Liu, what's going on? I bought this product from you a few days ago, although the money hasn't been paid yet, but I said haode, when I sell this goods, the money will naturally be paid to you, what? You still can't trust me Dana, are you going to regret it? At this time, Gratana also hurried over. Seeing this, he hurriedly interjected.

"Yes, yes, it's just that I saw that your house was on fire, and I was in a hurry, but I was just cautious, afraid that you wouldn't be able to get the money for a while, and I can always feel at ease with this goods in my hand." As soon as the two proprietors surnamed Sun and surnamed Liu heard Ge Dana's words, they knew that if there was any loss in this matter, the two parties could only talk about it privately, but they could not ask the yamen to intervene in it, which would be a bad thing.

Although it is sinful for Gettana to use this warehouse to give them private goods, they are also guilty of tax evasion. Not to mention anything else, first of all, half of the goods will be confiscated, which they can't afford alone.

"I'm changing my words now, it's too late, I'll tell you, someone has reported you for evading the 'tatami tax', don't care about anything else, these rice and Songjiang cloth, we will take them away first, you also go with us, go to the tax department and make it clear, it's yours, you will take out the voucher for the tatami tax, if it is Ge Patrol Rail, you also have to ask the Patrol Fence to take out the transaction voucher and the transaction tax voucher." The chief yacha said.

Immediately, several yamen came over and surrounded Ge Xunlan and Sun Liu.
