The Central Plains is different. The Central Plains has always been dominated by agriculture.

Cattle were raised in the Central Plains, not to drink milk and eat meat, but to plough the fields.

The number of ploughing cattle is related to grain output, and since ancient times, ploughing cattle have a high status in Chinese society.

There is a clear provision in the "Rites and Records - Monarchy" that only the Son of Heaven can use the Taigao to sacrifice three animals, namely cattle, sheep and pigs. The princes and dukes could only sacrifice with a young prison, and they could only use pig samples, not oxen.

The "Imperial System" stipulates that "princes do not kill cattle without reason", and princes who are the supreme rulers of one side are not allowed to kill cattle casually.

Regulations such as "doctors do not kill sheep without reason" and "soldiers do not kill dogs and pigs (dogs and pigs) without reason" not only reflect the strict social hierarchy, but also delineate the hierarchy of livestock.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, there were clear laws: cattle thieves, cattle slaughterers were beheaded, and cattle eaters were punished.

However, although there are clear legal provisions, it is not uncommon for people to slaughter cattle, sheep and pigs in private.

In particular, the area of the cross slope is located in the boundary of the three areas. Although there is a county government, it is in a place full of wars, and the officials of the county government can't manage anything at all.

Especially for things that are related to the rivers and lakes, there may be a lot of power behind it.

Even ordinary Jianghu characters, officials do not want to be easily offended. Whoever you offend by being blind may burn your house, rape your wife and daughter, and destroy your house.

It's not a secret that the small shops in the cross-slope area sell beef privately, so why did the government suddenly take care of this?

The Yingchuan thieves have a lot of energy in this area, and they have colluded with the county officials. The sudden appearance of the county officials is very likely to be related to the Yingchuan thieves.

Nine times out of ten, the Yingchuan thieves are fighting the idea of paying tribute to the imperial court, colluding with the county officials to facilitate their actions.

Zhang Qing also guessed so. Although I can't figure out the purpose of the Yingchuan thief, more things are better than less. "Erniang, don't sell fresh beef. There's jerky, that's it. ”

"How can jerky be better than fresh meat? Besides, people must have brought jerky with them. ”

"I know, but I just think it's impossible to get into trouble just to make some money."

"Money, we have to earn it. Woe, we won't mess with it. In charge, you don't care. ”

Sun Erniang had an idea, arranged the things in the store, and hurriedly went to find Zhen Guanxi.

Hearing that Sun Erniang wanted to make fresh meat, Zhen Guanxi waved his hand again and again, and his eyes kept aiming at Sun Erniang.

Sun Erniang knew that he had a thief's heart but no thief's courage, and if she asked him, she ignored it.

"Erniang, I'll tell you the truth when you are your own person. If you don't let the cattle be sold and killed, you can't afford to provoke the people behind it. It's not easy to earn, don't even think about it. ”

"I don't kill cows...... Sun Erniang whispered her thoughts.

Zhen Kansai still kept waving his hand and shaking his head. "That's not good, don't pull me into this, Erniang, you have a seed, I don't have a seed."

Zhen Guanxi was about to leave after speaking, and Sun Erniang grabbed the back of his neck.

With a glaring eye, Erniang roared: "The old lady didn't let you do it, she just asked you how you could get it." surnamed Zheng, if you don't help with this favor, don't blame the old lady for being polite! ”

Zhen Guanxi had no choice but to say a few names.

Sun Erniang let go of her hand and said with a smile: "It's about the same." Okay, when you make money, please drink! ”

"The wine is free, Erniang, you can also do me a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to borrow two rooms in your store, and I'll use them for a few days."

"What do you want to do?"

"Hey, hey......" Zhen Guanxi smiled shamelessly. You buy meat, and I sell meat, human flesh...... Hey hey ......"

Sun Erniang was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood.

This guy wants to take advantage of the army passing by to set up prostitutes on his own! Let my wife sell meat and taste the sweetness!

Sun Erniang was stunned. "My little shop, not a kiln! Don't! ”

Zhen Guanxi muttered, complaining that Sun Erniang was not righteous. Sun Erniang scolded a few words angrily, turned around and left......

……

Those who want to take the opportunity to make money are not only Sun Erniang and Zhen Guanxi.

On this day, many people rushed over. The cross slope has become a big bazaar.

Some carried vegetables, some carried eggs, and some filled water in broken crockpots and squatted on the side of the road, ready to sell.

Sun Erniang pointed at the water seller and smiled: "You are also stupid enough, when the army travels, they all find their own water sources, how dare you drink your water?" Besides, this little bit of water can't be bought with a single penny, so it's really not too much effort. ”

Water sellers have their own business experience. "I don't sell to the army, I sell to the people who sell things!"

Sun Erniang was stunned, but she admired this person's shrewdness.

However, the person Sun Erniang admires the most is herself. "Boss, you see, there are so many people, and none of them buy fresh meat. This time, we can make a lot of money! ”

Zhang Qing had other thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Erniang, these people, those who come are not good!" ”

Zhang Qing is an old Jianghu, and he can see that among the people gathered in the cross slope, some are authentic people, and some are suspicious.

Although it is not certain who has a problem, there must be a lot of Yingchuan thieves mixed in with it.

Sun Erniang also knows it, but she thinks that everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, I earn my money, and you do your business.

Looking up, the sun was almost in the middle, and Erniang couldn't help but be anxious. "Two slackers, why haven't you come back yet? Something is wrong, is it? ”

Sun Erniang was looking forward to it, and suddenly heard a noise not far away.

Turning his head, he saw that several people were tearing and tearing.

It turned out that it was a hare seller and a few vegetable sellers who quarreled.

The one who sells the hare is a local, and Sun Erniang knows him. Those few vegetable sellers were very old-eyed.

A few vegetable sellers are full of swear words, and the momentum is very fierce. Sun Erniang was sure at a glance that these guys are not good things!

"Damn! Didn't you hear Lao Tzu's words? Don't sell it! Get lost! "The momentum of the vegetable seller is violent.

"Why can't you sell it?"

"Why?" Before the words fell, the vegetable seller punched over.

The hare seller was also agile, and as soon as he lowered his head, he dodged.

"Oops! If you dare to hide, give it to me! The vegetable seller said hello, and several accomplices rushed together!

"Hey! Harmony makes money, harmony makes money! Zhang Qing rushed over with a brisk stride and pulled away the hare seller.

"Ahh A few vegetable sellers were extremely arrogant, and Lunquan greeted Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing pushed away the hare, dodged left and right, and several vegetable sellers' fists failed. didn't want to cause trouble, Zhang Qing blindly avoided and did not fight back.

"What's going on?!" Sun Erniang rolled up her sleeves and jumped over. "Isn't it a bully?!"

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang are well-known in this area, and among the few vegetable sellers, some people know the couple, and hurriedly whisper a few words to the leader.

The leader was also quite jealous of Zhang Qing and his wife, and did not dare to do it again, but he continued to scold the selling of hares.

"You can't afford to mess with them, get out of here." Zhang Qing opened the hare and persuaded in a low voice.

The seller of the hare was wronged and unwilling. Zhang Qing persuaded again: "Go back, I will beat the rabbit again in the future and send it to the store, I won't lose you." ”

Finally, there was no turmoil, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

There were sharp-eyed ones, pointing to a few people in military uniforms in the distance, and shouted excitedly.

Everyone hurriedly spread out their goods and waited to make money.

Sun Erniang was even more anxious. "These two slackers, where did they die?!"

"Erniang! You're back! ”

Following the prestige, Sun Erniang was stunned!

Two guys, Ghost Bean and Thief Jing, why did they run so fast?!

Looking closely, Sun Erniang was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing!

The ghost bean and the thief are quiet, one of them waving a branch, showing off their might, like a general charging into battle!

The two of them ran wildly and shouted and cheered. Make knives and guns out of branches, you come and go, and fight lively!

The two of them even have mounts! Under each person's crotch, a fat pig!
