Chapter 326: Going up to the house and pumping the ladder
Widow Liu spent a lot of effort to see Yingzi is really good, guarded the Dongwang Mansion for a few days, and finally waited for Yingzi to come out to buy some firewood to prepare for the winter, she pretended to bump into it head-on by chance.
"Hey, I said who is this! Yingzi, do you still recognize me? "Widow Liu seems to be very familiar, and those who don't know think they are old acquaintances.
Yingzi was taken aback, and looked at Widow Liu left and right and didn't recognize it. At this moment, Widow Liu is very well dressed, with silk and satin fox skin shoulders, hibiscus auspicious cloud flower pleated skirt, five-petal plum blossom embroidered shoes, a rich dress, and two maids followed.
"We live in the same house in the Wuchang women's camp, and I am the widow Liu, do you remember?" Widow Liu looked at Yingzi with a puzzled look on her face and reminded.
Yingzi finally remembered that it was indeed a little similar, that is, a little fat, but the clothes were much better than then.
"It's you." Yingzi said lightly, she had a bad impression of this widow Liu, and seeing her appearance, she must have developed and wanted to show off in front of herself, so she wanted to deal with it and left.
How could Widow Liu let her go, and said enthusiastically: "Sister, I finally have a chance to meet, so it's better to walk on the street together and catch up with the old days." ”
"No, I still have something to do, and if I want to go back, I won't bother you." Yingzi didn't want to deal with her, and turned around to leave.
How could Widow Liu let her go, and gave a look to the maid behind her, who understood and deliberately fell. The basket in his hand flew out, and a piece of meat in the basket fell at Yingzi's feet.
"Meat?" Yingzi was stunned, the Hunan army besieged the city, and the grain route was cut off. Don't say it's pigs in Tianjing City, cats and dogs have long been caught. Although the treatment of Dongwangfu is better, it has been drinking gruel to deal with it, and ordinary people can only eat corn husk and bean dregs. I don't know when I ate this meat, but when I saw it, the spit in my mouth was about to come down.
"Where did this meat come from?" Yingzi couldn't help asking.
"Girl, let me tell you, don't tell anyone." Widow Liu pretended to be mysterious, took Yingzi to the side of the road, and muttered something in her ear.
"Black market? What is the Black Market? Yingzi was told that the meat was bought from the black market, and she lived in the Dongwang Mansion all the year round and didn't know anything about the outside world.
"To put it simply, it is an underground market, and things that can't be bought on the surface are available on the black market, but the price is more expensive." Widow Liu saw her take the bait and hurriedly explained to her.
"How expensive is this meat?" Yingzi hurriedly asked.
"One pound and one hundred wen." Widow Liu brought the meat to Yingzi's eyes and made her squeeze, "How is it?" Fresh, it's good meat. ”
"What kind of meat is this, and why is it so expensive?" Yingzi was a little frightened, the original market price was generally 20 wen per catty of meat, but this meat was five times the price.
"Sister, this time and that time, do you think there are still people selling meat in the market now? Let me tell you the truth, this is horse meat, which was cut off by killing a war horse. This business is not very common, and I don't know when I will bump into it next time. Big sister, money is not worth much now, and food is getting more and more expensive. Qing Demon can't run away outside the city, and the future will be even more bitter, and it is the right way to exchange the money in hand for food. "Widow Liu is very good at speaking, and she is also very good.
Yingzi was moved by her words, thinking that the current situation was indeed the truth, and couldn't help asking, "Where is this meat sold, can you take me there?" ”
"My sister, I can take you there now." Widow Liu said happily, the prey was finally hooked.
"Can you wait for me, I'll go back and get the money." Yingzi didn't bring much money out.
"You come with me quickly, how much meat can this horse have, there are more people who buy it, maybe it will be gone later, you can come with me quickly." I will lend you money, and I will not be short of money. "How can Widow Liu let her go back, in case there is any accident, this scene will be in vain.
Yingzi thinks about it, she hasn't eaten meat in Dongwangfu for a long time, and she also wants to buy some back to satisfy everyone's cravings. She doesn't eat meat for a long time, people's stomachs are particularly hungry, no matter how much she eats, she doesn't feel full, she also wants to pick some fatty meat back and fry it into oil, so that even if she eats white porridge, it is much better than before.
Yingzi followed Widow Liu left and right to a very remote place. Yingzi was a little scared, she was a big girl who had never been here, and she was always a little worried.
"Don't be afraid, the black market can only exist in such a place where no one is around, and it will be there not far away." Widow Liu was afraid that she would not be willing to follow her, so she hurriedly comforted.
They finally came to a small two-story building, and Widow Liu stepped forward to grab the door knocker, knocked on the door panel three times and two short times to send a secret signal inside.
After a while, a servant opened a small window on the door and wanted to look outside. When he saw that it was Widow Liu, he hurriedly opened the door.
Yingzi followed Widow Liu into the door, which was similar to an ordinary family, with some ordinary tables, chairs and other furnishings, and she couldn't see anything special.
"Girl, come, follow me, the boss is on the second floor." Widow Liu grabbed Yingzi's hand and said.
When I arrived, Yingzi didn't have any warning, the second floor was a little high, and the ladder was very long. The two climbed for a long time and finally went up to the second floor.
This second floor is different, obviously much richer than the first floor, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the gold utensils, and a very luxurious bed, this is not like a place to do business, but like the bedroom of a rich family.
"Master, I'll bring someone for you." Widow Liu shouted inside, and there was a joy in her voice that captured her prey.
Meng Deen walked out of the inner screen, his face was lewd, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and his mouth squinted, "Little baby, I have finally waited for you." ”
As soon as Yingzi saw the person's face, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and immediately said, "I don't buy meat anymore, I want to go back." ”
Widow Liu blocked behind her and stopped, "Master, you show her the meat." Big sister, I didn't lie to you, there's really meat here. ”
Meng Deen took out a heavy piece of hind leg meat from under the table, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Little beauty, as long as you sleep with my Zanwang for a while, this meat is yours, you see, this meat weighs heavily, it is enough to weigh twenty catties." "According to Mengdeen's experience, those hungry women, let alone a pound of meat, are willing to accompany themselves for one night even if they give two steamed buns. This time, in order to get Yingzi, he calculated the blood capital.
"Bah, I'm not unusual. I'm going back, don't stop me. Yingzi exerted all her strength and pushed away the widow Liu who was blocking her behind her.
Widow Liu didn't pay attention, was pushed back several steps, staggered and fell into a dog eating.
Yingzi took the opportunity to open the lid on the floor and prepared to go downstairs. But when the plank was opened, she found that the ladder had been taken away, and the bottom of the plank was empty, and it would kill a person to jump so high.
And Mond pounced on her when she was stunned.
