Chapter 70: Talking about salt

Peng Da Niu walked in front, and he didn't pay attention to the two people behind, and had already led the horse to the fence gate. At this time, the two people behind www.biquge.info didn't know what they were saying, and they couldn't hear it clearly in the wind.

The two of them suddenly quickened their pace, just as the sleigh had all turned and were about to enter the yard. The tall man had already caught up with Peng Da Niu, grabbed Peng Da Niu's hand with one hand, and pulled the reins with the other. He also shouted: "Big brother, let's come, let's come, don't bother you." As he spoke, his voice trembled a little, and he seemed to be particularly afraid of something.

Peng Daniu saw that this person was really polite, and felt that these two people were also too polite. Since you come to your own home, you are a guest, how can you not treat your guests well? Peng Daniu said that he would not let the reins go, and the two actually pulled here.

In the yard, there is a lot less snow, after all, Peng Daniu has time to sweep the snow to the vegetable field next to it, so that next year will be a good vegetable field.

There was little snow, the ground was hard, and the tall man, pulling the reins hard, did not pay attention to his feet, and fell to the ground with a "bang", still pulling the reins in his hand.

This is not good, not only did he fall, but even Peng Da Niu fell to the ground. The two of them fell, and pulled the reins forward, and the two horses ran forward sharply, which was good, for the sleigh behind was still on the snow behind, but the ground was hard in front, and it became a slope.

On this slope, with a violent pull, the sleigh was unevenly forced, and it jumped violently, and suddenly two sacks came out from under the fur on the sled.

Peng Daniu got up from the ground, pulled the tall man up, and laughed: "Brother, look at you, why are you so polite?" Pull it for you, and we'll both fall. Peng Daniu said as he slapped the snow on himself and the tall man.

The tall man stood up, just in time to see the flipped sleigh, his eyes almost stunned, and his body stayed there as if he were looking.

At this moment, the short man in the back said, "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up, set up the sleigh." ”

The tall man, with a thud, walked briskly towards the sleigh.

Peng Daniu turned around and looked behind him, only to see two sacks next to the sled. The two men lifted the sack and placed it under the fur that had been laid under them when they came.

There was a sack that was not very tight, and a rope was about to be opened. Peng Daniu hurriedly walked over and wanted to help them tighten their pockets.

The two saw Peng Daniu coming over, and hurriedly said, "Let's just come, big brother, don't bother you." ”

Peng Daniu had already walked up to the sack and glanced at it with his eyes. I saw that the tall man was protecting the mouth of the sack with his hand, and his eyes were looking straight at Peng Daniu.

Peng Daniu looked at his nervous appearance and laughed: "Brother, you are salt, right?" ”

The two of them stood there like a lightning strike, and they didn't know how this old man could say that this was salt?

Peng Daniu looked at the appearance of the two, and laughed again: "Two brothers, what are you afraid of?" You don't know that we don't really care about salt in Pingzhou, as long as you don't go to Han to sell it. Am I like you before? When I first came to Pingzhou, I just started to eat such good salt, and I was afraid that I would never be able to buy this salt again. Hey, I'm still eating it. ”

Peng Daniu saw that the two of them were a little nervous, remembering that they were frightened by Du Fei back then, and immediately understood the difficulties of these two people, and hurriedly took a few steps back, saying: "You guys are busy", as he spoke, he pointed to the east house with his hand, and then said: "The three rooms are the places where the horses are fed, there are two of my horses and two cows in them, wait for you to lead the horses over, and I will help you feed them later." ”

After speaking, Peng Da Niu came to the east house, took his horse out of the manger, and counted it on the empty stake on the side. He had just been busy, and the two of them had already arrived at the east house with their horses.

Peng Daniu beckoned the two to tie up the horses, mix the hay, and watch the two horses start to eat. Peng Daniu took the two into the main house with confidence.

Peng Daniu's wife had already brought the child to the back room, and there was still a hot meal on the round table in the hall.

Peng Daniu beckoned the two to sit down, and the two thanked them for their kindness, Peng Daniu said: "What's polite, brother, everyone is out of the house, it's not easy." Seeing you, I think you and I just came to Pingzhou at this time. Hey, it's been three years, and time flies so fast. You can rest assured, our Pingzhou is a good place, and by this time next year, I will ensure that you eat well, dress well, never go hungry again, and no longer be afraid of running out of salt to eat. ”

The chopsticks of the two men snapped and fell to the ground at the same time.

Peng Daniu looked at the mention of salt, and the two of them were obviously afraid, and it was estimated that they would not be able to eat this meal.

Peng Daniu smiled and said, "Two brothers, I'll tell you a story......

Peng Daniu said that when he was in Mahan, he heard that he was going to be moved, and he was worried that he would never be able to eat salt again, so he bought all the money he earned as a coolie, a whole bag of hemp. How did Du Fei check back then, how frightened he was, thinking that something was important, but later he learned that there was a false alarm.

After arriving here, Peng Daniu realized what a stupid thing he had done, how convenient it was to buy salt in Pingzhou, it was everywhere, and it was a big deal to go to the county seat. Now his family still eats the salt he brought at that time, and the people of the village laugh at him, and the villagers often joke with him about it.

After Peng Daniu finished talking about his salt, the faces of the two improved significantly, and they also laughed a few times.

The two also talked about their life experience, and they were really new immigrants, from the Nanyang area. I just moved here recently, and I saw that the salt here was so good that I was afraid that I would never be able to buy it again, so I bought a little more.

Today, the whole village entrusted the two of them to go to the county seat to buy salt, no, the whole two sacks of salt also made Ma tired enough.

Peng Daniu persuaded the two to eat and drink well, and said: "You just came, I'm afraid you don't know yet, although we have control over salt here, and we don't allow you to buy too much, but who cares." It's just that you can only buy 10 catties at a time, and definitely not more. Actually, it's not difficult for you to buy more, but the salt we have here is not allowed to be sold out of Han land. As long as you don't sell to Handi, there is absolutely nothing, two brothers rest assured. ”

The tall man also smiled and said, "Brother Peng, what I'm saying is that we just came here and don't know much, so please tell me more." ”

Peng Daniu told the two about the ban on salt and iron here, and assured them that as long as they did not sell to the Han Dynasty, there would be nothing wrong.

The short man didn't speak, and said lightly at this time: "Brother Peng, the Han Dynasty is gone, and now it should be a new dynasty, and it is said that Pingzhou is also the land of the new dynasty." ”

The tall man glared at the short man, turned his head to Peng Da Niu and said, "Brother Peng, what you said makes sense, you can rest assured, we buy salt for our own consumption, and it is definitely not transported outside." ”

Peng Daniu said: "It's still far from Xianwu City, I heard that the things there are strictly checked, and they want to be transported to the Han Dynasty, no, they are to be transported to the New Dynasty, you see that I am wrong again." It's troublesome, it's a long way, it's dangerous, who wants to do such a stupid thing? ”

Both nodded in praise at the same time.

The three of them ate and talked until they were full of wine and food, and their horses were fed. The two said that they were lost, and asked Peng Daniu how to go on the main road in Pingzhou Mansion.

Peng Daniu secretly laughed in his heart at these two foolish people, they didn't know the road, and they had to run outside. Peng Daniu remembered that he was also a member of the outside, and he couldn't bear it, regardless of the wind outside, he also told the two of them how to go to Pingzhou Mansion, and sent the two of them a long way.

The two thanked them for their kindness, got on the sleigh, and headed in the direction of Pingzhou Mansion. After a while, the two disappeared into the vast snowy world.

On the way back, Peng Daniu thought as he walked, feeling that these two people didn't know what was wrong, but they just felt weird.

After thinking about it for a long time, Peng Daniu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it much, so he went back to the cat's house and never wanted to freeze outside. (To be continued.) )
