027 Trafficking in illicit salt

Yun Fang quietly gave her father a look, signaling her father not to say anything for the time being, she continued to ask, "Since Brother Xiaoshi can even take his life for his sister, then I will ask you again." ”

"Sister Fang'er, if you don't have anything to worry about, just ask, my little stone is frowning and insincere!" Xiao Shi raised his head and said firmly.

"Okay, let me ask you," Yun Fang took a deep breath, leaned into Xiao Shi's ear, and whispered, "What if, let you sell illicit salt?"

"Sell, sell ,......" Xiao Shi's mouth grew in surprise, and he was a little confused for a while, and said strangely, "Salt is salt, how can there be a distinction between public salt and private salt?"

"Uh,......" Yun Fang didn't know how to say it for a while, she had seen a lot of film and television works in the modern society of another time and space, but they all said that selling illicit salt was a serious crime, and it was a matter of losing her head. Why are the people here so ignorant?

Although the father on the side didn't hear Yun Fang's question clearly, he had already guessed what Yun Fang said from Xiaoshi's surprised answer, his face sank, and he scolded loudly, "Nonsense!"

Dad's scolding did not discourage Yun Fang, but made her nod secretly in confusion, and turned her inquiring gaze to her father.

coughed lightly a few times and cleared his throat, and his father said heavily, "You children are still young, I don't know how powerful this salt is, last winter, I once went to a village near the county seat to make a kang for others, and I heard people who went out to do business there say that this salt is divided between public salt and private salt, except for the places where the government is allowed to sell, if someone quietly sells it privately, they will be immediately dragged to death." ”

Xiao Shi was not intimidated by Lan Qingsheng's words, but his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly with hope, "Uncle Lan, where can I find illegal salt?" Now that salt is so expensive, dozens of big coins are only a small handful, and a hanging of money is only a small half of a porcelain bowl. I, I want to take a gamble. ”

"You, hey,......" Dad let out a long sigh, "why are you so stubborn? ”

"His father!" the mother suddenly turned red, grabbed her father's arm desperately, and asked in a choked voice, "Well, there is no other way?"

"What else can be done?" Dad reluctantly turned around, "You didn't hear what the eldest brother said yesterday, what else can you do?"

"Yes, there's another way!"

Yun Fang's original intention was to test how deep Xiao Shi's friendship with her sister was, but what she didn't expect was that things would turn into a life and death parting for the whole family so quickly, with tears in her eyes, she immediately said loudly.

"What's the solution?"

Everyone focused their eyes on Yun Fang's face, and they all forgot that she was a child, and she was still a 'rotten ugly girl' who was bullied by others all the time.

"Go home, I'll show you something. Yun Fang no longer sold Guanzi, she said firmly, turned around and was the first to enter the courtyard.

Father, Mother, Dashan, Yunhua and Xiaoshi all looked at each other a few times, they all shook their heads in confusion, and entered the courtyard together with questions. The mother was careful, and after everyone came in, she turned around and closed the door.

Everyone entered the back room, and Yun Fang quickly went to the small ear room and went to a small half bowl of radish strips and sent them to everyone.

Yun Fang had already tasted these delicious radish strips, and she was the first to be puzzled and said, "Fang'er, my sister knows that the radish you make is delicious, but ,......"

"Let them taste it first," Yun Fang was not in a hurry to explain, but used chopsticks to pick up the radish strips and handed them to everyone, "Taste it, everyone try it." ”

Everyone present except Xiao Shi knew the origin of the radish strips, and Xiao Shi also heard something about this delicious radish from Xiao Zhu's mouth.

Therefore, although he still had doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but take the radish strips handed over by Yun Fang and put them in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. Little Stone was the first to shout, "No wonder Little Pillar has been thinking about it." ”

"It's really delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious radish, no, I've never eaten such a delicious thing, it's not worse than braised pork at all." Dashan said with a smile on his eyebrows, grabbed one with his own hand, and put it in his mouth.

The mother also temporarily put down the solemnity in her heart, showed a relieved smile, and praised, "Our Fang'er's hands are skillful, and she is really a capable and good boy to make these radishes that are about to freeze into such delicious things." ”

Only Dad tasted the sweet and sour radish strips in his mouth, and he didn't forget the topic just now, "Fang'er, Dad knows that you are a capable and good boy, but these can't solve the problems in front of you." ”

"Since you all think it's delicious, and we have a lot of radishes, we just need to make more and sell these radish strips, won't we be able to exchange them for money?" Yun Fang said with great interest.

Yunhua held back for a long time, he couldn't hold it back, and poured cold water on it, "This radish strip is delicious, but it also needs to be salted, even if someone is willing to buy it, we can't make anything by counting the cost of salt." It's the one you made last night, and you used half of the salt that our dad brought back, right?"

"Yes," the mother also nodded in agreement, "This thing is delicious, but it is not convenient and practical to buy salt directly compared to others, the salt that your father got back, in addition to the New Year, we can eat it for half a year while saving, but you pickled it into dried radish, and the money in exchange for it is enough to buy salt again." ”

"Uh," Yun Fang was stunned, she thought that she had pretended to be a mysterious trick yesterday, but the whole family had seen what she had done with salted radishes, but in order to make her happy, no one broke it. Even in their opinion, she used up half a year's salt for fooling around, and they didn't say much.

In the face of such a family, Yun Fang's nose was sour, and she almost burst into tears, which also strengthened her thoughts, she said seriously, "This dried radish is salted, but I didn't use the salt that my father brought back." ”

As he spoke, Yun Fang pointed to a shadow on the stove outside, "You see, the salt that Daddy brought back is still there." ”

After listening to Yun Fang's words, Niang Hu got up suspiciously and went outside, bent down and picked up a small cloth bag, and immediately said in surprise, "Dad, really, Xiao Mi is right, not a single grain of salt you brought has not moved, and it is still good here." ”

Mother's words confirmed Yun Fangcai's words, but Dad suddenly thought of what Yun Fang said just now when he drank the small stone, and stood up anxiously, "Fang'er, you listen to Dad, listen to Dad, private, private salt is the crime of killing the head, we, we are poor and dead, and we can't buy that thing." ”

Dad said it was so serious, it was all about people's lives, but Yun Fang was not afraid, she waved her hand gently, "Dad, don't worry, don't worry, I didn't buy this salt." Wait a minute, I'll get you something." ”

After saying this, Yun Fang quickly ran out of the main house, trotted into the small ear room again, squatted down from the inconspicuous corner of the stove, took the remaining salt foam from yesterday's pickled dried radish, and quickly returned to everyone.

"Dad, you see, this is not the private salt I bought," Yun Fang handed the salt bowl to his father and said seriously, "This is the salt I boiled myself." ”

Dad's expression was even more solemn, he picked out a little salt foam with his fingernails and put it in his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he nodded, "Well, yes, this is salt, but the taste is slightly lighter than the official salt we bought." ”

With her father's approval, Fang'er didn't wait for him to continue interrogating, and immediately said, "Fang'er used to be ignorant, so the family was worried." However, after I jumped into the river that time, I have been in a trance, and in my dream that day, I went to a place in a daze, and a white-bearded old man taught me a method of boiling salt with bitter well water, I tried it yesterday, and I can really boil salt. ”
