In a good mood today, Lu Hanqiang took the coachman Uncle Zhang, pulled the copper money he deserved, and Shi Shiran walked to the vegetable market. Lu Hanqiang decided that he would eat a steamed rice meal no matter what he wanted today, and then, he was always squatting at the door, waiting for him to bring back the meat and bones to Xiao Huang as a reward, but he couldn't buy meat and bones anymore, that guy had already buried countless furniture in his front and back yards, and he couldn't say it, as soon as spring came, it would be a stinking sky.

Walking into the rice shop, the white noodles cost fifty catties, this is a must, because the old lady and younger siblings in this world are from Shanxi, and Chen Liang's brothers and sisters are also from Shaanxi, but they were from Liaoning in their previous lives, and they are used to eating Panjin rice, but now the Northeast is almost a barren land, and the name Panjin may be scattered in the dictionary. However, although the rice in the south is not delicious, it is better than eating noodles all the time, and now I have a little stomach acid.

But now, it's no longer the time to do whatever you want, everything has to be based on this family, so the future of pasta-based has become a fact that Lu Hanqiang must face, rice? Only wait for yourself to carefully ask for the money from the old lady to come to the restaurant, and then secretly beat the tooth sacrifice.

Thinking of the aroma of rice, Lu Hanqiang was a little stupid, it was as if there was a bowl of the aroma of Panjin rice lingering on his nose, "At this time, should I bring my little sister here?" Lu Hanqiang thought so.

The reason why I think this way is not because when Xiaomei walked out of the broken temple and walked to the **** or Golden Avenue, she and Xiaohuang had been reluctant to send herself to the side of the road, and the feeling of being held by the corners of her clothes and holding her thighs made her really distressed. At this time, I want to win over my little sister to eat rice at home, so that I can form a minority that is no longer lonely, a minority that eats rice. When the old lady eats pasta, he can encourage the little sister to shout and eat the rice, "Haha, the little sister who is pampered by the whole family will never be opposed by the old lady, and at that time, I can use all the means to make the world's most delicious rice in the world, no, the world's most delicious rice to feast." After Lu Hanqiang grinned with fantasies, he firmly ordered Xiao Si who followed to take out twenty copper coins and handed them to the rice shop owner with confidence, "Come on twenty pieces of rice."

1,000 Wen is consistent money, you can buy a stone of white noodles, then you can buy yourself and your little sister to eat rice porridge for a few days, think about the rice porridge on the small pickles, a mouthful of thick porridge, a bite of crisp raw salty radish pickles, that is the happiest feeling of Liaoning people. At that time, Lu Hanqiang's saliva was about to flow out.

When a large handful of crystal clear rice was carefully packed by the shopkeeper and handed over with a unique smile of a businessman, Lu Hanqiang really felt a little like crying without tears, twenty wen, you can buy three to five catties of flour, but buying this rice is only a catty, the difference is too big, at the same time, I also feel that I have been deceived? Profiteers, absolute profiteers, I will resolutely fight against profiteers. So, Lu Hanqiang rolled up his arms and sleeves and prepared to take out the eloquence he had exercised in storytelling, and have a good time with this theory. Since beating King Xin, no one has been arguing with him for a long time.

Seeing Lu Hanqiang's complexion, he immediately understood the thoughts of this thinly dressed showman, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "The north is dominated by pasta, and the south is dominated by rice, but almost all the Beijing officials in Beijing are southerners, so our shop also deals in some southern rice." Look at Lu Hanqiang's somewhat abrupt appearance, while carefully packing the flour and rice purchased by Lu Hanqiang, while explaining the difference in price: "However, the imperial court's transportation is mainly based on household transportation, and the transportation of bulk goods between our merchants still has to wait until the imperial court is free, so it is more difficult to transport the grain that is not very profitable, the demand is large, and the transportation is small, so this rice is more expensive than other grains, and please show the talent to include more." ”

This is the truth, in the history of China, there is no way, the south is prosperous, not the north has been in the war and chaos, although Hong Wuye should also be for an examination room and the quota of the compulsory division of the north and south jinshi, but after all, that can not change the foundation of China's entire cultural structure, although, the foundation of the prosperity of southern culture is in the north of countless Han men to resist thousands of years of southward invasion of foreign races, with flesh and blood so that the south can continue the result of peace.

The main reason for this result is the difference in food.

Pasta nourishes people, makes people's physique tough, and pasta is anti-hunger, resistant to storage, and can make people more durable, but rice is unique in these things, but rice is rich in a variety of minerals, but it can make people smarter, make people brain-opening, this is the difference between noodles and rice to shape a nation, China's all have stood for thousands of years, and this diversified diet has a great relationship.

"Okay." Lu Hanqiang put down his sleeves, restored his original demeanor as a talented scribe, and said to Uncle Zhang behind him with a smile: "Take another hundred Wen, and ask the boss to weigh a few catties of rice." ”

Bidding farewell to the grain store owner who bowed and kept sending him out, Lu Hanqiang got into Uncle Zhang's carriage and watched a cart full of copper coins go home. Tomorrow, the shopkeeper and Uncle Zhang will convert the copper coins into silver, or their own homes will not be able to put these heavy things at all, "It would be good to say that there is a bank, and once you deposit it, you will be done, and you will take it when you want to use it." Why bother to make my mother's house full of these things now, the result is that I want to take that tough dogleg Chen Liang to the street and run rampant, because he now needs to squat at home all day long and watch the pile of money. "Lu Hanqiang misses the bank very much, even if it is a later bank.

Turning into the alley of his house, Lu Hanqiang jumped out of the car, and his heart was full of joy and peace.

Xiao Huang was the first to rush out to greet him, according to the custom, Lu Hanqiang hurriedly dodged its habit of hugging his legs, otherwise, every day on the hem of his clothes, make countless plum blossoms, this is indecent.

However, today's Xiao Huang did not rush to hug his legs, but limped over, although his enthusiasm was undiminished, but his mouth was more of a kind of grievance and sad scream.

Lu Hanqiang picked up Xiao Huang, raised it to his face, dodged its pink little tongue and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" How did you accidentally break your leg? Didn't Xiaoya ask you for a doctor? ”

Xiao Huang didn't understand, but he felt his master's concern, and he didn't know what to do, but then the little brother who came with him pulled the red-eyed little sister and explained to his brother ashamedly; "Brother, our family has been bullied." For himself, who is also a man in the family, he did not protect Xiao Huang well, and was bullied by outsiders, and the little brother felt derelict in his duties. He really wanted to share his worries for his brother, who was so busy that he hit the back of his head.

Lu Hanqiang was stunned for a moment, his face darkened at that time, he groaned for a while, gently put down the injured Xiao Huang, and said to the little brother with a gloomy face: "Let's go, let's talk at home." ”

"What's going on?" Sitting on the chair that only he could sit on in this family, Lu Hanqiang hugged Xiao Huang who was whimpering and asked Chen Liang.

This Chen Liang, after testing his martial arts by himself, although he can't have the ability to fly away from the sky as exaggerated in the later world, but he is still competent to be an enemy of ten thousand people and a good slave to protect the courtyard.

Chen Liang was very angry about the question of the head of the family, because this matter did not have anything to do with him, because on this day, he was sent by the old lady in front of the teahouse to resist the impact of fans for Lu Hanqiang, and he was also responsible for Lu Hanqiang's guards between the teahouse and the printing house, and he really didn't have time to take care of this family.

"You say." Lu Hanqiang's face darkened, and he turned to the little brother who lowered his head.

"Brother, today, the boss of this big fence came with a group of broken households to ask our family for protection money, Xiao Huang rushed out to reason with them, and as a result, he was injured in the leg by the splash."

The old lady came out at this time, looked at her black-faced son, and hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, you just left in the morning, a group of splashy people settled under the leadership of Niu Er, found our door, and asked us to pay five taels of silver a month to settle down the family, such people are everywhere, so my mother made the decision and agreed, not to be safe?" ”

It's that Niu Er again, when he opened his bookstore, this kid took a group of ruffians and hooligans to force protection money, and he was weak at the time, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he kicked his nose in the face, didn't he? This not only collected money on the field, but also chased it to the house, this is not good, absolutely not, I have to talk to this Niu Er if I have time, this wind cannot rise.

looked at Lu Hanqiang's darker face, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, you don't know, the family in the alley on our right is still a native of the locals, and it was supposed to take out ten wen of filial piety every month, but this month's heavy snow, the family can't open the pot, so they didn't hand it in, and within three days, a big girl who said no was gone." Speaking of this, he looked carefully left and right, and said in a low voice: "I heard Zhang Da's mother say that the girl was taken captive by them, first ruined by them, and then sold to a brothel." When he said this, after sighing again and again, he was already rippling with tears, wiped it with his sleeve, and sighed: "There is no way, these people, even Lizheng and Yamen dare not take care of it, let's not fight with them, let's break the wealth and avoid disasters." ”

After Lu Hanqiang heard this, he immediately thought of the heroes of Liangshan, but a big word and phrase were tumbling in his mind - the underworld.

The underworld has had their existence in the era of rivers and lakes, and the earliest records can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period - Jing Ke and Zhuzhu.

When it came to the Han Dynasty, a guy surnamed Chen almost controlled the court, and even the strongman of the Xiongnu, who roughly defeated the old enemy of the Han family for a hundred years, took him helplessly, because the boss could instantly attract the "heroes" of the Han Dynasty, just in his home, there are almost thousands of "heroes" from all over the country every day, in their eyes, the law and the court are simply air, and they only follow their own rules. And once you don't follow their rules, then he will do everything he can with you, and he will not stop fighting.

This is the most difficult existence for the small people.

Lu Hanqiang pinched his beardless chin at this time, squinted his eyes, it seems that this Niu Er is not simple, not only does Li Zheng dare not care, when he blackmailed the Yin Teahouse of the Mansion, the teahouse of the Shuntian Mansion Yin, which is really in one with the Public Procuratorate and the Law Division, has to pay a certain amount of protection fees, so that Lu Hanqiang can live in peace. Today he beat his dog, then, tomorrow you can bully the old lady, the day after tomorrow, they may be worried about their little sister, so, let a few splashes bully their heads, so how can they survive in this world? I came here by myself, just to settle down in this Daming, protect God and take care of my family, not to mention that I will bully my family in the future, even now, I beat my own dog - that's not good.
