Chapter Twenty-Three: Buying a Washboard

The meat is firm and delicate, and the taste is delicious, and it is a good edible fish, but the government prohibits the people from fishing in summer, and can only be caught by the commissioner on an official ship, and then supplied to the imperial court. Moreover, because the fishermen's fishing boats are too small, they can't go to places as turbulent as the current, and this Hu Lao Er doesn't know where to pick up the leak. Seeing that Yan Mazi's expression didn't look like he was lying, Pi Yang wasn't sure if it was true or not, so he asked him, "Where did Hu Lao Er arrest him?" ”

Yan Mazi shook his head: "I don't know, I asked that kid, and he didn't dare to admit it, but I heard that he rowed a boat to Huishui Bay the night before yesterday, if Brother Pi is interested, he will also go and have a look tonight?" ”

Seeing his expression and his eyes flickering, he knew that he was holding back the bad water and wanted to commit a crime against the wind. Pi Yang glanced at him: "Go and go, you want to get rich so much, why don't you go yourself?" "What the hell are you kidding, is the place where people go to the backwater bay, not to mention the long distance, the backwater whirlpool formed by the light rapids hitting the inlet can kill Lao Tzu.

"How can I have that ability, Brother Pi, every time you catch dozens of catties of fish than others, you must have gone out of the sea to receive such a gift, let me ask the entire Badong County except for you, who still has that ability?" Yan Mazi flattered.

No matter how far away the calm river is, can it be compared with a dangerous place like Huishuiwan? You are quite good at wearing a high hat for Lao Tzu, but even if I have that ability, I will not take that risk, so I still keep my life and go back to the little girl to talk about life, talk about ideals, and by the way, it is good to scratch and touch to promote her physical development. Pi Yang waved his hand, cut it, and didn't talk nonsense with Yan Mazi, turned his head and left.

I was going to have a shabu-shabu this afternoon, went to the meat market to buy some mutton, vegetables and butter, pushed the wheelbarrow out of the east gate, and just walked out of the land, an urgent shout came from behind me: "Brother Pi, wait, wait for me!" ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw Yan Mazi running all the way to catch up, and when he arrived at Pi Yang, he was out of breath and panting: "Brother Pi, how can you do it so fast, clean up the stall, brother, I am in a hurry to see your back." ”

Pi Yang put down the wheelbarrow and smiled: "Brother Yan, your physical fitness can't meet your sister-in-law's physique, you have to strengthen your exercise, let's say, what's the matter with the younger brother?" ”

Yan Mazi ignored his ridicule, paused for a while to calm his breath before saying, "Brother Pi, don't you want to know how much silver Hu Laoer's two water tigers sold?" ”

What does it have to do with how much silver I have, hurry back to coax Zixin girl is serious, I received a warning last night, Lao Tzu will go back late, and she will row out to sea.

Yan Mazi saw that he looked indifferent, and hurriedly raised two fingers and shook them in front of his eyes, Pi Yang couldn't help but say with his nostrils: "Two taels of silver are also worth playing with?" ”

"Hey, Brother Pi, you really know how to joke with my brother, it's twenty taels, twenty taels!" Yan Mazi was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.

"How much? Twenty taels? Pi Yang jumped up, and said in his heart that this Hu Lao Er earned more than Lao Tzu in two months.

Yan Mazi was very satisfied with Pi Yang's reaction, glanced around, pulled him to the corner, and said in a low voice: "This is still the price of one, don't hide it from my brother, my eldest brother has also caught two before, but it was not sold to Ronglu Inn, one was shipped to Jiangling Mansion and sold for one hundred taels, and the other was secretly sold to..." ”

Seeing that he was shaking his two fingers much more vigorously than just now, Pi Yang was of course not stupid enough to think it was twenty taels, and gasped: "Two hundred taels? So Qi Yunzhai is willing to give up this blood capital in order to eat a good mouth? ”

Yan Mazi almost fainted when he heard his words: "If it's just for the sake of deliciousness, of course not, this water tiger is not only delicious, but also can be used in medicine, I heard that the old owner of Qiyun Village has a bad spleen and stomach, and most of them are bought for him to nourish his stomach." ”

The little girl's uncle and grandfather have a bad spleen and stomach, so what's the deal? It seems that I have to sell two to him, he treats the disease, I make money, and the two are not delayed. Pi Yang pondered for a while, and smiled mysteriously: "I said Brother Yan, we have only known each other for more than a month, and if you tell me such a big secret about your family, you are not afraid that the younger brother will go to the yamen to report you?" ”

Yan Mazi was stunned for a moment, his face turned a little pale in an instant, he originally saw that his eldest brother was not as good as himself, just because he sold two water tigers, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, he was a little jealous, he also wanted to eat a big fat man in one bite, in order to get the silver quickly, he didn't have so many scruples, and he said it by the way, at the moment he regretted and scared in his heart, and laughed a few times: "Brother Pi, you... You...."

Pi Yang slapped Yan Mazi on the shoulder and laughed: "Don't worry, Brother Yan, I'm joking with you, how could the younger brother betray his friends for a little reward!" ”

Yan Mazi wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, and seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, his mind became active again, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Pi, look, you have that ability, brother and I have a way, let's work together to make him big, how about it?" ”

"You go back and wait for the letter first!" After Pi Yang finished speaking, he picked up the wheelbarrow and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something: "Those people in Qiyunzhai are all thieves, will they be trustworthy?" You're not afraid? ”

"It is said that it is a bandit, in fact, they have not harmed the common people much, and the past merchants in Jiangling Mansion, Badong and Lixian have not been robbed, and I heard that Qiyunzhai only robbed the official silver and official grain, so no one in the hometown hates them, and they are not afraid." Yan Mazi talked about Qi Yunzhai, and his eyes were full of stars.

Damn, isn't the official bank and official food also the hard-earned money of the common people, look at your face full of admiration, it seems that Qi Yunzhai is righteous and thin.

After saying goodbye to Yan Mazi, it was already early time when he returned to the town of crossing the river, and before he got close, he saw the door at a glance, and his steps couldn't help but be faster.

In order to prevent the house from being flooded at high tide, the original owner built a layer of more than two meters high stone floor on the foundation, and the stones were piled up in dislocation, and poured with glutinous rice and lime, which was extremely solid, and after decades of wave baptism, it was still solid.

Along the stone steps up is a main house, Guixiang Prefecture is also called the house, there is no door, there are two wings on both sides of the house, there is a balcony in front of the wing, the side is half of the kitchen, half extends forward to a stilted building, and in order to pay attention to feng shui, both ends are like this, before renting he was thinking, this set of sea view room to put aside the previous life, not to mention tens of millions.

As soon as he stepped on the first step of the stone stairs, Pi Yang's eyes suddenly jumped, his heart was not good, and he subconsciously looked back at the riverside, only to see a girl in a pink dress, covering her face with a light veil, standing on the bow of the boat and holding the pole offshore, he spread his girl and ran wildly to the river, while shouting: "Wu Zixin, you come back for me, come back!" ”

When she ran to the shore, the girl had rowed dozens of meters away, only to hear her laugh and say, "If you don't take me out to sea, do you think I can't row?" This girl has already learned from Miss Li Jiasan, goodbye! ”

"You, you..... You're done, you're done, I'll tell you, I bought a washboard today, and you'll go home and kneel on it for me later! Pi Yang trembled with anger, and he couldn't say anything.
