Chapter 8 Noodles and Lotus
"Who's drumming!"
A servant stood in front of Liu Ming, this life is majestic and tall, not angry, followed by several officials who also glared angrily, as if they had disturbed their good deeds!
"This is a little meaning, filial piety to all the masters! Please laugh! ”
Liu Ming is bent on his waist at the moment, laughing with him, a bit like a woman standing on the street. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Take away your dirty hands, and ask you what's the matter, if not, I'll give you thirty boards!"
"Our Wu Song inspection is upright and majestic, you can tell me in detail what is the drumming!"
Wu Song?
It's him!
It's really him!
This is so much more handsome than on TV! Ha ha! I really want to beg him to sign his name, and if I am lucky enough to return to reality in the future, I can also pretend to be able to do it!
"Isn't this man stupid? It's been thirty years since I laughed at you! ”
The official next to him whispered.
Liu Ming came back to his senses and said respectfully: "The villain is from Liujia Village, Liu Yue, as the chief of security, instructed his subordinates to beat my family for no reason, I ask the adults to avenge us!" ”
"What? And so it was! Wang Cai went to summon people and horses, and went with me to Liujia Village! ”
"Wudutou, the chief of the security guard can be regarded as a poor person recruited by the county, do you really want to disturb Lord Zhang!"
"It's just a trivial matter, a certain person will deal with it, go and call someone!"
Wu Song is already a little impatient, he likes to deal with this kind of thing the most!
"Then thank you, Lord Wu!"
"No thanks, this is what so-and-so should do! It is my only responsibility to eliminate violence and calm the people! ”
After Wu Song finished speaking, he had already walked into the inner tooth to get his weapon.
After Liu Ming reported to the official, it was time to buy something and go to Wu Song's brother's house!
Liu Ming really hasn't done this thing yet, and he doesn't know what to give!
Walking around the street with a donkey and an injured arm did attract a lot of attention.
"Little official, I see that you are injured, I have good cooked beef here for nourishing the body, generating blood and making Jin, and nourishing qi and nourishing the year, why not come a few catties!"
The beef jerky on the street came from the boss's whoosh.
What about the liar, wouldn't eating the food covered by beef hair make the wound develop faster when you are injured?
"Little official! High-quality beef is not disqualified as a gift, this is the real thing that the government pro-prisoner kills and sells! It's only sold for 200 pounds! I don't believe you look at the approval given to me by the government, it is guaranteed to be genuine! ”
Is 200 Wen a pound still cheap? 50 Wen buys 12 catties of rice, which is equivalent to 48 catties of rice and a catty of beef, and it is cheap, I really don't know how to count!
In ancient times, the common people were "based on beef", but the imperial court clearly stipulated that the slaughter of cattle was strictly prohibited, in this context, in the early years of the Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of the people killing cattle and eating cattle was repeatedly banned, and the local government turned a blind eye to this "reactionary" behavior, why? It's all because of the "beef tax".
Cattle are a valuable social treasure in the agricultural era. The law of the Song Dynasty strictly forbade the slaughter of cultivated cattle. If you want to kill, you have to report the reason to the government, and the officials will kill them together.
In the "Song Criminal Rule", compiled in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are laws such as "those who kill officials and private cattle for various reasons shall be imprisoned for one and a half years" and "those who commit suicide will be imprisoned for one year".
However, no matter how detailed and strict the law is, there are moths that are not afraid of putting out fires. In some areas, the common people not only do not take the ban to heart, but also eat a lot of beef, and there is even a spectacular scene of "eating cattle in every village".
At that time, the court regarded eating mutton as a beauty, but the common people "took beef as the taste". Driven by profits, many speculators actively wielded butcher knives, and history called "the unscrupulous race to slaughter". According to records, from Luoyang to Kaifeng, "there are many people who sell beef", and shops that openly buy and sell beef can be seen everywhere.
When it comes to eating beef, the vast majority of magistrates choose to be blind. Naturally, the magistrates have their own little abacus, nothing more than to make the wallet bulge as soon as possible.
"Little official, in this Yanggu County, I sell it to my family, and if you miss it, you really don't have it!"
The boss is still a little unsatisfied, looking forward to this guy who can afford his beef by looking at the outfit!
By the way, you can also send beef!
"Boss, how about cutting me six catties and a tael of silver?"
"I'm already trading at a loss!"
The boss had a difficult face.
"Forget it, don't buy it!"
"Stay! Stay! I sold it to you at a loss! ”
"I know the scales, if you dare to lack a pound or two, I can see it at a glance!"
"Little official, don't worry, the scales here will be inspected every quarter, how dare you adulterate and fake the scales! If you eat it, it tastes good, and you can buy it! ”
"That's naturally cutting five catties for me to wrap up, and then wrapping them separately by one catty!"
"Good Ratcha!"
The boss is really a good hand, and soon two purses wrapped in the nose-spraying beef were sent to Liu Ming!
"You don't have to look for this!"
Liu Ming handed the boss a tael of silver, and the boss smiled bitterly, do you still need to find it? It's not good enough in the first place, isn't it!
It's almost enough to buy these beef, and it's a gift if it's so expensive!
The pound was hidden in Liu Ming's pocket, turned back to the family to eat, and the remaining five pounds were carried on a donkey and went straight to the so-called Wuzhuang.
Wuzhuang is very close to the county seat, just about a mile road south of the county, passing by the streets in the south, there are guys selling all kinds of gadgets.
There are all kinds of pears, cookcakes, and buns.
Among them, Liu Ming also saw a middle-aged man with dwarfism, and his face was not very clear, and he looked familiar, as for where he had seen it, it is unknown.
Wuzhuang is connected to the county seat, and a long street is particularly long.
"This old man, may I ask if the Wu clan elder lives here?"
"You walk south from here, turn a corner, and you'll be there with a cake disc at the door!"
"Thank you! Elderly! ”
"Housheng, Mo Xie!"
Liu Ming followed the direction of the old man's finger to the door.
The gate was closed, and it seemed that no one could pass by, and it seemed very quiet.
Dangdangdang
Liu Ming stood at the door and knocked on the door.
"The official is back!"
In the distance, the sound of tapping and tapping was heard, and muttering came out of his mouth.
When I opened the door, I saw Liu Ming standing at the door, and I couldn't help but ask a little vigilantly, "What happened to this official?" ”
Liu Ming is really stupid, this woman is wearing a red jacket, the skirt is long and reaches the ground, and the red lips and teeth are closed as if she has special magic.
The thin powder and apricot peach cheeks look particularly flushed!
The hands are like soft, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, which makes people have the urge to have blood!
A pair of talking eyes looked at Liu Ming.
This is the legendary Pan's Golden Lotus, which is so beautiful in the sky! I'll go! I'll go! I'll go!
Liu Ming became manic in his heart, such a beauty is not to say that it is the West Gate, but the South Gate, the North Gate, and the East Gate will come up to kiss Xiangze
