There are many shops in the city, trade is thriving, morning and night markets are connected day and night, and restaurants, teahouses, tiles and so on are scattered.

Many agricultural and sideline products and handicraft products began to turn to the market and became important commodities, and merchants paid attention to the packaging of goods, and also paid attention to advertising their own goods, and commercial tax revenue has increasingly become an important source of revenue for the government.

The wide and smooth stone road is full of traffic, the smoke willow painting bridge, the curtain green curtain, so lively.

On the left side of the road are rows of two- or three-story buildings with white walls and black tiles, and on the right side is the clear river. On the first floor of the small building, there are various storefronts, and the façade is hung with a variety of signboard flags.

In front of a butcher's shop in the south, a middle-aged farmer was holding a wheelbarrow full of pork in both hands, talking to a butcher, and behind the farmer there were two children of five or six years old, both of whom had their heads bowed and their faces flushed, as if they had just been taught a lesson.

Because Lewen also wanted to follow around the county town to see what the county town of the Ming Dynasty looked like, he secretly followed the uncle early the next morning, who knew that he was seen by Long Chao, so he could only pull this little fat man with him.

Before at home, the pig skin has been peeled off, dried, used to make a padded jacket, the pig's head left to pickle, just two days after May 5, the Dragon Boat Festival to worship the ancestors, but also save a sum of money to buy the pig's head, but this time the ancestors used the wild boar's head, eating ordinary pig's head meat tired of the ancestors can also try it.

On the way to the county seat, they were discovered by the uncle, Lewen and Long Chao were reprimanded by the uncle, but they were almost there, and they couldn't take them back anymore, so they could only take them into the county seat.

"Boss, how much do you think this cart of pork can sell?"

The uncle looked at the butcher's fierce look, and asked a little timidly, the old lady said that she wanted him to go to the city to find the third child first, but he felt that it would be too embarrassing to find the third child for this matter, so he didn't go.

"Huh? Is it wild boar? Let the Sprinkler take a look. ”

The butcher came out of the butcher's shop, tore a shred of wild boar and put it in his mouth to taste it, then spat at the mouth and said, "Poof! Well...... It is indeed wild boar, and now the hunters in the mountains come to Sajia to sell wild boar meat for 25 wen a catty. ”

Although the taste of wild boar is not as good as the taste of pigs, but it is rare and expensive, some people like to taste fresh, they will give priority to buying wild boar, and because the price is relatively cheap, it sells faster than pigs.

When the uncle heard that 25 yuan a pound was a lot, he was about to open his mouth to say the word 'good', but was stopped by Lewen.

"What, what do you say, it's only 25 wen a catty? It's better to sell it to someone else. ”

Lewen said and pushed the uncle, the uncle was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Lewen gave him a look, he realized that he was about to push the wheelbarrow away.

"Hey, wait."

The butcher watched a few people pushing a wheelbarrow and wanted to sell wild boar meat to other families, so he hurriedly walked up to Le Wen and whispered, "How about 27 Wen a catty." ”

"A fixed price, 30 wen a catty, it's okay, if it doesn't work, it's sold to other families." Lewen glanced at the butcher and said politely.

The butcher hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Okay, 30 Wen, 30 Wen." ”

Le Wen smiled indifferently and said, "Then how many catties do you weigh in this car." ”

"Okay, okay, you wait." The butcher gave the two men in the shop a look, and one of them quickly ran out and lifted the pork from the wheelbarrow onto the weighing platform and weighed it.

"Master, it's just 61 pounds." The man fiddled with the scales twice and shouted to the butcher.

"Wait, why is it only 61 catties, how can this wild boar meat also have 70 catties." Le Wen hurriedly came to the weighing table and fiddled with the scales, locked his eyebrows deeply, pinched his chin, and said suspiciously: "There is something wrong with the scales of your butcher shop." ”

The butcher smiled and said, "Where will it be, little brother, don't be joking, the Sprinkle family still has to do business." ”

"Do you think I don't know what kind of tricks you play, you hurry up and make the scales into accurate scales, or we won't sell them." After Lewen finished speaking to the Zhang butcher, he made a gesture to carry the pork away.

The butcher hurriedly stopped: "Little brother, you wait, just go and change the scales, you are really a surprise." ”

Lewen just smiled faintly and didn't reply, and Da Bole Haofeng gave him a thumbs up.

The butcher changed the scales, weighed them again, and weighed them carefully a few times before he said with a bitter face: "71 catties of wild boar, a total of 2130 copper coins, that is, two taels and one cents, you wait a minute, and the family will give you silver." ”

The uncle stretched out his hands to take the silver, trembled with his excited hands, and said to Lewen: "Wen'er, Uncle Yinzi will keep it for you first, and then go back and hand it over to your mother." ”

Le Wen thought that Sister Qi almost lost her life in order to make up for his tuition, so he said to the uncle: "Uncle, this silver is still half of Sister Qi." ”

When the uncle heard Lewen's words, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

He wanted to take his two children out of Tang County and go back quickly, Lewen was a little reluctant, he still wanted to play more in the city, and he wanted to come back again, but he didn't know the Year of the Monkey.

So Lewen said coquettishly to the uncle: "Uncle, can we not go back first, my nephew wants to go to the third uncle's hexagram shop to have a look, and it's so hot to go back now." ”

Uncle was a little hesitant, but he raised his head and squinted his eyes to see the blazing sun hanging high in the sky at noon, and it was too sunny to go back at this time, so he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "Okay, let's go to your third uncle's hexagram shop to rest for a while." ”

When the three of them arrived at the hexagram shop, a fortune teller in a Taoist robe glanced at Le Wen and Long Chao behind the uncle, and asked with some annoyance: "Hey, big brother, why did you bring the two of them here." ”

"Which one was brought by the eldest brother, they secretly followed the eldest brother, and the eldest brother didn't pay attention to ......"

The uncle complained of grievances, tears almost fell, and the fortune teller could only sigh and shake his head helplessly.

"Yes, third uncle, it was Xiaowen and Long Chao who secretly followed, don't blame the uncle."

This fortune teller dressed in a Taoist robe is the third uncle, and he is actually not a Taoist priest, but he is more convincing when he wears a Taoist robe.

The third uncle shook his head helplessly and said, "Then you guys come in first." ”

Walk into the hexagram shop, the hexagram shop has a size of more than 50 square meters, the wall is covered with yellow cloth all around, and the yellow cloth is painted with the Bagua Taiji diagram, the Bagua Four Elephant Diagram and a variety of exorcist Taoists with peach wood swords, the portrait of subduing demons and subduing demons.

In front of the hexagram shop is a long table made of peach wood with pale yellow stripes, on which are placed all kinds of rune paper and ritual tools for doing Taoist things, there are floating dust, swords, seals, treasure mirrors, etc., and there are six mahogany chairs on both sides of the hexagram shop.

After the third uncle invited them to sit down, he made tea and poured water for them, although he was still a little annoyed that the boss brought two to the city, but he was also very eager in action.

After the third uncle sat down, he and the uncle chatted about the mundane things at home while drinking tea.

After a while, a young man wearing a coarse cloth robe and looking like a thief appeared outside the door of the hexagram shop, stretching his neck and looking left and right inside the hexagram shop, hesitated for a moment, walked into the hexagram shop and asked, "May I ask which one is Le Banxian?" ”

The third uncle seemed to be a poor person, so he got up unhurriedly and entertained: "This half-immortal is, what are you looking for this half-immortal?" ”

Li Yuangui's small eyes flickered, and he said what he meant: "Oh, you are Le Banxian, a villager from Lijia Village, named Li Yuangui, I heard that you can calculate the hexagram accurately, so I inquired about the location of your hexagram shop, and deliberately walked dozens of miles to find you, and I want to let the half-immortal help me look at the next phase, and calculate when I can marry a daughter-in-law." ”
