Chapter 44 [Antelope Hanging Horns]

Of course, Liu Kuaizu didn't talk about being kicked by Zhang Yicheng in the end, but this adventure has surprised Chen Ruolan and Tang'er sisters again and again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Chen Ruolan was smart, she only guessed the beginning, but she didn't guess the later events, because it was really beyond her imagination, and she couldn't guess it with common sense.

The biggest official in the post house is the post order, but the one who is really responsible for the trivial work on weekdays in the post house is basically the second-in-command, that is, the post officer. What puzzled Liu Kuaijiao was that Zhang Yicheng was not generous on weekdays, but he had always been careful in his calculations, and he had always been known as the "iron abacus" in the post house, which was why he never reported the brick matter. Although this brick returned to Father Yang vaguely, he listened carefully, and actually asked for a hundred coppers a piece, and it was expensive to die, if it was reported, he would not be kicked to death by Zhang Yicheng.

What people never expected was that Zhang Yicheng was unusually this time, he shot so generously, and he promised to be categorical, without a trace of mud and water, which made Liu Kuaijiao cry out in surprise.

Originally, Liu Kuaijiao also suggested that if there was a document to be sent by Tangerine Xiangyi next time, he would go to buy the bricks back together, and he would save himself a special trip, but this proposal was vetoed by Zhang Yicheng as soon as it was exported, and he ruthlessly counted down Liu Kuaijiao's two sentences, saying that he was too careful to calculate, why save all this money......

Liu Kuaijiao was messy at the time, didn't those documents be handled like this on weekdays? A post has accumulated a lot of documents, so it is sent out at one time, how can there be a special trip for a document?

Before leaving, Zhang Yicheng called Liu Kuaijiao again and specially told him that the matter of bricks is very important, and the post order also attaches great importance to it, so he must buy it back, which really makes him incomprehensible.

Tang'er also held back her stomach for a long time, and finally listened to Liu Kuaijiao's words, and wanted to ask questions. Chen Ruolan knew her sister's temperament, for fear that her words would reveal the filling, so she gently patted the back of her hand under the table, and said before her: "Uncle Liu, to be honest, our batch of licking bricks is just an experiment, but according to the recent feedback, the market has a very high acceptance of this batch of licking bricks, and we will put it into production again soon, but because the output of the first batch is limited, there is not much inventory at the moment." ”

Hearing that there was not much inventory, Liu Kuaijiao suddenly became nervous, remembered Zhang Yicheng's explanation before leaving, and hurriedly asked in a condensed voice: "Miss Chen, how much is it?" There's always ten pieces, right? ”

"Ten yuan ......" Chen Ruolan shook her head with a smile, "I counted the inventory just now, it seems that there are only eight pieces left, otherwise, you will settle for it?" ”

"It's only eight pieces?" Liu Kuaijiao's face turned miserable.

Chen Ruolan smiled and nodded, "Uncle Liu, I'm afraid that I won't even have eight yuan when it's late, and there are others waiting for it." I see that you are in a hurry, and I want to give you these eight pieces first, if you are not in a hurry, wait for the next batch to be put into production......"

"I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm more anxious than anyone else!" Hearing this, Liu Kuaijiao hurriedly pushed the copper on the table in front of Chen Ruolan, "Okay, eight is eight, and two are missing, it shouldn't be a big problem." If Zhang Yicheng is to blame, it's a big deal that I'll run again next time. Miss Chen, don't give these eight yuan to others, sell Liu a favor, let me take it back and pay for it! ”

"No problem." Chen Ruolan promised with a smile, and then asked quietly: "Uncle Liu, I heard you just say this, you must have mastered this method of licking bricks?" ”

Liu Kuaijiao was stunned for a moment, "What other way can this thing be used, just hang it on the edge of the trough and let the horses lick it by themselves?" It's not like forage......"

"That being said, there are still some tricks to it." Chen Ruolan looked calm, paused for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something important, and asked with concern: "By the way, Uncle Liu, Lianggouzi Post is a short journey away from here, have you explained the other robes in your post house before you came out today?" They know the key, right? ”

"Oh, Miss Chen, I see, do you mean adding water?"

Liu Kuaijiao thought for a while before patting his head and asking, seeing Chen Ruolan smiling and nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, these days, they all know that they have to keep adding water to the horses...... If their horses don't lick, they are more nervous than my old Liu, and they can't get out of the pool when they add water! Miss Chen, please rest assured. ”

"That's good." Chen Ruolan suddenly made a relieved look, but she was secretly repeating two words in her heart.

Add water.

Although Tang'er is not as smart as her sister, she also suddenly understood her sister's mind at this time, thinking about it, her sister not only guessed the matter of Daddy Yang before she saw Liu Kuaijiao, but also asked the tips for adding water in a few words, and even thought of such a small thing as reserving a piece in advance.

Alas, if my sister were a man, she would be an extremely powerful character.

At this time, Chen Ruolan has been thinking about adding water in her heart, drinking water is very important to horses, but it has undoubtedly been ignored before. She glanced back and saw that Xiao Liuzi hadn't come back yet, so she smiled and asked, "By the way, Uncle Liu, Uncle Yang must have told you that you need to keep adding water, right?" ”

Liu Kuaijiao shook his head and said: "Brother Yang didn't mention this stubble, but this Liu saved it himself, so he doesn't need Brother Yang to mention it again." ”

"Really?" Chen Ruolan pretended to be surprised, "This is strange, our licking bricks have not been officially sold yet, since Uncle Yang didn't say it, how did Uncle Liu know?" ”

Liu Kuaijiao laughed and said, "After all, Liu still knows some horse nature." Miss Chen, you don't know, my big green horse every time he goes to the barren mountains and mountains, if he sees any large pieces of ore, he will occasionally lick them, but the premise is to give it more water, it is best to feed it water while licking, otherwise it will have a dry mouth after licking for a while, and naturally it will not lick. Liu has been eating in the post house, in the early years, he relied on a pair of feet to deliver documents, and later he used horses as his feet, and also dealt with a few horses, these little things, Liu naturally understands, no need to worry about Miss Chen. ”

"I see, but I underestimated Uncle Liu, please don't be surprised."

Chen Ruolan had an admiring look on her face, which made Liu Kuaijiao very useful, and said "where, where". At this time, Chen Ruolan's various questions about licking bricks in her heart are basically clear now.

Tang'er was ashamed to hear it next to her, knowing that her sister was tricking Liu Kuaijiao's words, but it didn't sound suspicious, and she greeted Liu Kuaijiao a few words by the way. If you ask by yourself, don't say anything, I'm afraid that it will already arouse Liu Kuaijiao's suspicions, where can I be like my sister, like an antelope hanging horns, there is no trace.

While the two were talking, Xiao Liuzi had already returned, as Chen Ruolan had explained before, Xiao Liuzi really found a reason casually, saying that Daddy Yang happened to go out and was not in the shop.

Xiao Liuzi is clever, these little lies will not hurt anyone, but his face is not red and his heart is not beating when he says it, and his expression is calm, Chen Ruolan couldn't help but cast a beam of approving glances at him.

Although Liu Kuaijiao was a little disappointed when he heard this, he didn't say anything, only said that he would come back another day to thank Brother Yang or something. He was probably worried that the only eight licking bricks left would be bought by others, so he immediately urged Chen Ruolan to come and get the money as soon as possible. Chen Ruolan responded with a smile to reassure him, and then asked Xiao Liuzi to fetch those licking bricks.

After Xiao Liuzi brought a bag of licking bricks, the two sides quickly settled the money account, and the price was naturally one hundred coppers.

Looking at those shiny coppers, as well as Liu Kuaijiao, who left satisfied, Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead.

Eight hundred coppers, just buy eight bricks, what's wrong with this world? dared to serve two full tables of dishes, but he was still worthy of the eight strange-looking bricks.

Thinking of his previous contempt and ridicule of these bricks, as well as the jokes he thought were funny on this topic, Xiao Liuzi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. The person he is most afraid of meeting now is Daddy Yang.

Liu Kuaijiao's task was basically completed, and the bag of bricks was carefully tied on the horse's back, and then he rode on the big green horse with satisfaction, hugged his fist here, and quickly turned his head and walked up the official road.

Looking at his gradually smaller figure, Chen Ruolan's face became solemn, and her mouth was chattering nonsense such as "post house" and "post horse". After muttering to himself for a long time, he turned his head and said to his sister who looked dazed: "Tang'er, my sister just told you that I have to find a time to talk to Li Gongzi in the past two days, and now it seems that there is no need to find another time." ”

"Huh?" Tang'er raised her eyes to look at Chen Ruolan.

In the morning light, my sister's side face was unusually perfect, and her tone was calm but decisive and firm: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I want to go to Gongzi Li now." ”

"What are you looking for him?" Regarding her sister's obsession with finding Li Qingshan, Tang'er obviously didn't understand.

"Naturally, I want to talk about something serious when I look for him," After saying this, Chen Ruolan frowned and pondered for a moment, not knowing what to think, and suddenly laughed to herself, then turned to stare at Tang'er, and gently scraped the tip of her nose with her left index finger, "Tang'er, you know that my sister is very good at deceiving people, but ...... Will you? ”

"Liar? Fool whom? Tang'er touched her nose and asked.

Chen Ruolan blinked her eyes and didn't answer, tilted her head and asked her, "What do you say?" ”

"It won't be ......"

Tang'er seemed to have an answer, her face suddenly brightened, and Chen Ruolan nodded at her, confirming her guess, which made this unruly girl even more excited.

But when I think of my sister's shrewdness and my own mediocrity, I feel a little lost.

"Sister, that guy is only afraid that he won't be able to deceive, I'm ...... I'm afraid I'll spoil you. ”

"Actually, it's not called cheating, whether it's for him or for us, it should be of great benefit, it's a win-win situation." Chen Ruolan explained, seeing that Tang'er was still worried, she hurriedly comforted her and said, "...... You don't need to be nervous, I know you're worried that you won't be able to do it, don't worry, you just need to be yourself, my sister knows it. ”
