Seeing the mule cart go away, the curtain hurriedly ran back to the small courtyard, but saw Li Qingzheng struggling to hold a large urn of nitrate, which weighed only a dozen catties, but the high-waisted urn weighed fifty or sixty pounds, and blocked his sight.

Li Qing took a breath and asked, "Did you give him a thank you gift?" ”

"Given!" The curtain poked him on the forehead and said: "In the future, don't die like this to save face, just give it, and let others misunderstand you, so that I can explain for a long time." ”

Li Qing smiled: "Just be grateful to you, I'm not afraid of others misunderstanding." He went to the door, picked up the wooden mold, and strode into the house.

The curtain looked at his back, smiling silently in his heart.

"Sister Lian'er, will we live here in the future?" Xiaoyu came with two large packages, interrupting the curtain's train of thought, she looked around the courtyard curiously, although it was only two days, but she had already integrated into Li Qing's team, the curtain also knew that she had served Li Qing, but she didn't care, only when she was her sister, the curtain was lonely since childhood, and her grandfather was wandering around, trying to survive everywhere, and the feeling under the fence was deeper than anyone else.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, do you like it here?" The curtain wiped the sweat on the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, and looked at their new home carefully, this is an independent small courtyard, the front is three large rooms, the middle is the guest hall, there is a room on both sides, there is a wing room on both sides of the yard, the east side can be used as a kitchen, the west side can be used as a warehouse, there is a well in the corner of the courtyard, the wellhead is covered with moss, and a laurel tree is planted by the well, it is not yet the flowering season, but the green is rich, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, in the middle of the yard is a very tall hibiscus tree, the flowers are full of flowers, and it is in full bloom, The roof and courtyard were covered with scattered hibiscus flowers, and brownish-yellow, pink-white petals covered the ground.

"I like this hibiscus tree the most, Sister Curtain Er?" Xiaoyu picked up a newly fallen hibiscus flower, gazed at the delicate stamen lovingly, and gently placed it at the root of the tree.

The curtain picked up a broom and swept all the fallen flowers in the yard into a pile, looked at the childlike Xiaoyu, and smiled and said: "Me too, if I see this tree earlier, even if it really makes trouble with that thing, I am willing." ”

"If you really like it, we will buy this house when we earn money, but now is not the time to look at the flowers, you hurry up and clean up the room, so much dust, at least we will be busy for a day, the landlord said that the bucket in the well is broken, I will buy it now, and the arrangement of the room, the curtain will be responsible."

Listening to Li Qing standing at the gate of the courtyard and constantly making noise, the two girls looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads and sighed at the same time.

Li Qing used the time to buy a barrel to step on the surrounding environment again, which is only two blocks away from the most prosperous Fuqian Street in Langzhou, backed by a small river, with convenient transportation, but it is located in a secluded place, without the noise of the city, which makes Li Qing very satisfied.

The next day, Li Qing and the three of them pushed the cart on the road, and set up an ice water stall at the entrance of Fuqian Street, and hung the sign of Xiao Li Ji. Langzhou is far more lively than Yilong, people come and go on the street, and the weather is extremely hot, see an ice water stall on the side of the road, this line of peddlers, merchants, the driver of the car, the delivery of the little two have come forward, looking for a cool and fast, especially the popsicle, is never seen, sweet and delicious in the mouth, the chest heat stroke is greatly reduced, this do buy things since ancient times there is a heart of the herd, as long as someone around the rush to buy, the people next to them see, they think that there is a cheap to occupy, and they will definitely keep up, but I am afraid that I did not buy a big loss, As for whether the things you buy are useful, it doesn't matter, but Li Qing's ice juice and popsicles are just in time, just what everyone wants, and in less than an hour, Li Qing went back to pick up two trips of goods, and almost all the passers-by on the street in front of the house were attracted to it, surrounded the ice shop, and rushed to put the copper coins in their hands into the urn, and at the end of the day, they actually made six dollars.

Li Qingle couldn't close his mouth, while keeping accounts, he stared at the pile of copper coins on the ground with a smile, suddenly, he thought of something, and hurriedly shouted to the second girl in the kitchen: "Don't make dinner today, let's go eat outside." ”

Since he has made money, this is also the time when the restaurant last time is also due, Li Qing also plans to buy a few clothes for each of the two daughters, and then buy a pair of shoes for himself, he is still wearing the Zhang family's step shoes, and the upper of the shoes has already smiled, and he is really ashamed to see people.

The remnant sun struggled, wheezing and unwillingly disappeared into the western sky, the sky turned purple, the sunset reflected the red faces of the three people, the evening breeze blew away the last trace of heat in the air, the street at this time was more crowded than the day, full of leisurely strolling people, Li Qing was wearing a new white shirt, wearing soft feet, wearing wide pants, soft boots, the whole body was completely new, this is the curtain must be bought for Li Qing, Li Qing is also comfortable, enjoy the power of this half-husband, as for the two daughters, each wearing a short skirt and a long skirt, it looks pretty and slender, but the color is red and yellow, the two compete for beauty, it is: "Luo shirt leaves and leaves are embroidered heavily, and the golden phoenix and silver goose are each a trace."

Seeing Li Qing's eyes straight, his heart rippling, and seeing passers-by from time to time, he was even more proud, with more vanity unique to men, and walked a hundred and ten steps, and the three of them came to the largest restaurant in Langzhou.

"Childe, shall we eat here? Why don't you change it? Seeing that the restaurant was luxurious, the curtain looked at Li Qing with some concern.

Li Qing saw that the restaurant in front of him was resplendent and magnificent, with at least four floors, a string of apricot yellow flags dragged down, and four big characters were written on it: Langzhong Drunken Township. If a man has a lot of pockets, his heart will become confident, Li Qingyi straightened his chest and said, "Why can't you eat here?" Walk! Come in with me. ”

When the three of them entered the hall, Xiao Er had already come up with a smile: "Three guests, eat or drink tea?" ”

"Eat!" Li Qing asked again: "Is there a private room by the window?" ”

"Sorry guys! There is no elegant room anymore, or I will arrange for the three of us to sit by the window on the top floor, where you can see the Yushui, jade belt, it is really a good scenery. ”

Li Qing secretly admired that even a junior could say so, and he really knew how to do business, so he smiled happily: "Okay, you lead the way." ”

Walking to the staircase, Xiao Er turned his head and said with a smile: "The two young ladies wear long skirts, and they can walk in the middle reliably." Hearing Li Qing's admiration, where his own era was so well considered, that is, the five-star hotel, as long as he looked up at the stairs, he could see a bare leg, and the contempt in his heart suddenly subsided, and he carefully observed the ancient way of business.

Yushui is today's Jialing River, its downstream Chongqing was called Yuzhou at that time, Li Qing saw that Yushui was really as jade as Xiao Er introduced, coupled with the cool breeze on his face, his career was smooth, he was in a good mood, and he was in a good mood, and he looked at the curtain and Xiaoyu pursed his lips and smiled, and remembered his usual eating at home, and the second daughter's heart was warm and infinite.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, breaking the momentary silence, and in a moment, the noise did not disappear, but became more and more intense, attracting the surrounding diners to go downstairs to watch the battle.

"You two sit down, I'll take a look!"

Li Qing squeezed downstairs, but saw that Xiao Er and a person who had just led the way were arguing, Xiao Er's hands were crossed on his waist, his eyes were as wide as eggs, obviously he was taking advantage of the reason, and the posture was eager to swallow the person on the other side.

"Isn't it just twenty cents? If you don't have it, you should treat it as a small shop, why do you reverse black and white, insisting that the food price of the small shop includes wine, and which store contains wine in the price of the dish? ”

The person opposite was wearing a half-worn tight-fitting beard, but he was tall, with a lion nose and phoenix eyes, a dignified appearance, and a powerful momentum in his gestures, but such a person with an extraordinary temperament swelled into a purple face at this time, holding a handful of copper and unable to get off the stage.

"I didn't have so much money on me, I lost my words just now, and the little brother forgave me, and I will make it up next time" He whispered softly, showing weakness to Xiao Er, but this Xiao Er still remembered the hatred he had just spitted on, and sneered: "Am I not clear about your details?" I'm afraid that after eating this meal, I will never patronize the small shop again, the small shop has a small profit, and you can't afford to pay it on credit, so you still have to pay it off. ”

"But I don't have so much money with me, how can you let me pay?" The man saw Xiao Er's harsh words, and his face gradually changed color.

"The shop has a rule, if you don't have enough money, you can wash the dishes to pay the bill, wash ten pennies, if you really can't pay, please follow me to the kitchen." At this time, five or six strong men came up and blocked the exits of all roads, so as to prevent the men from escaping.

In front of everyone, if he escaped and was caught, this kind of shame and humiliation was by no means something ordinary people could bear, and when the man saw that he could not escape, he had to sigh, cover his face with his hands and say: "I'll go with you!" ”

Li Qing saw that the onlookers were all excited, and their eyes were full of schadenfreude, and when he saw that the person's expression was gloomy, his face was full of shame, and his heart was full of compassion: "This person has a good temperament, but he has fallen to such a point, which is really pitiful." Then he squeezed out of the crowd and said to the little two: "His debt is on my head!" ”

Xiao Erzheng's eyes showed a fierce light, staring at the person who owed money, but when he saw Li Qing come out to admit the account, he immediately changed his face, and said with a smile on his face: "Childe doesn't know, this person has a good skin, but he is a scoundrel, if he doesn't give him some hardship, he can't remember." ”

Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "A tree lives with a skin, and a person lives with a face, so why humiliate him like this." He took out a bunch of money (note) and handed it to Xiao Er: "Are these enough?" ”

Xiao Er hurriedly took it and said in a panic: "Thirty wen is enough, the guest gives too much." ”

"Then the remaining seventy wen will be exchanged for good wine for this gentleman, which is considered as what I invited him to drink." Li Qing arched his hand at the man and smiled: "There are always times when people are in trouble, Mr. doesn't have to take it too seriously, it's just this restaurant, Mr. doesn't have to come again." ”

The man was silent, only glanced at Li Qing deeply, put the copper coin in his hand on the table, and arched his hand downstairs, but Xiao Er jumped up and shouted, "I'm right!" This person is clearly a scoundrel, and he doesn't even say thank you, and the son has a big loss. ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all said that Li Qing was too stupid, had money and had nowhere to spend, and went to help a scoundrel, but Li Qing sneered and returned to his seat, and the second daughter saw him come back and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Why is everyone looking at you? ”

Li Qing smiled lightly and said, "I paid for the wine for a down-and-out person." ”

Note: In the sixth chapter, there is also a hanging of money, I have not been able to find the concept of Tang Qian about the small line, but I think that Kaiyuan Tongbao has always been 6 pounds and 4 taels, people can not always take a few pieces of money to go shopping, and hundreds of money is too scattered, it is inconvenient to hold, so I think there should be a small line, a hundred articles in a string, this book will be called this kind of small silk hanging, a hanging for a hundred words, if not, it should be the original book or to be found by archaeology.
