Chapter 30: A Family of Three

In the dead of night, the birds are silent.

The door of the Drunken Xiao Pavilion was closed, and the lights were extinguished, and the shopkeeper Lu was lying on the bed, in pain.

Although he had asked a doctor for treatment and applied medicine to the wounds, the pain from the many wounds still made him afraid to move.

"Boss, did you really let that kid go?"

For Yang Ping'an, he hates it to the bone marrow. The great humiliation he suffered today, as well as the bruises all over his body, made him eager to devour Yang Ping'an alive and break his body into thousands of pieces.

No one answered in the darkness, only the sound of breathing.

After a pause, the shopkeeper Lu said again: "Boss, I know that I am wrong. I didn't expect that kid to have anything to do with Dou Ye, this time I mishandled it, and I should have a catastrophe ......"

"That's it!" In the dark, the yellow fat man's voice sounded, cold as ice, "It also depends on the owner to beat the dog." They beat you and cut my face, thinking that this matter could be stopped! ”

Shopkeeper Lu was happy in his heart when he heard this, but he said something else: "But, Dou Ye's side ......"

"Hmph, Dou Er. I can't afford to mess with him, just because he can run rampant in Yanshi City! The master said that the tofu recipe must be won, and Xiucai'an can't run. As for Dou Laoer...... The host returned from the south without saying a word......"

At this time, Yang Ping'an had already returned home.

This time, Dou Ye didn't send him home, it seemed that he had something important to do, so he left in a hurry, and he didn't accept his "kindness" and accepted the more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Due to the changes in the Drunken Xiao Pavilion tonight, Yang Ping'an adjusted his strategy and decided to win over Dou Ye first, and then take advantage of the county order. Although Dou Ye has been showing favor recently and has stood up for himself many times, he knows that Dou Ye has other plans, not the friendship between himself and the oil powder trio.

So he planned to smash a lot of money on Dou Ye, at least so that Zuixiao Pavilion would not dare to deal with him blatantly.

But Dou Ye refused. What don't fight, don't know each other, don't distinguish each other, talk about silver and hurt feelings, etc., and then leave.

If you don't collect money, I'm not sure!

Watching Dou Ye disappear into the night in an instant, Yang Ping'an felt bitter in his heart. There must be a reason why Dou Ye befriended him, and now he doesn't put more than a thousand taels in his eyes, could it be that he also covets the tofu recipe?

The oily trio are happy, even though they get beaten again, but so what? Over the years, the four tigers of Yanshi have been beaten less, and this time not only took revenge, but also lost twenty taels of silver tickets. If they could, they would rather be beaten like this every day, as long as they had money.

Dou Ye values Yang Ping'an and stands out for him, Yang Guozhong has long lost his jealousy in his heart, but is just happy. With Dou Ye's support, the four tigers of Yanshi are rampant in the county, who else can stop them?

When Dou Ye left, the three of them immediately surrounded Yang Ping'an, and proposed to go to the Flower Pavilion to get drunk and rest - the three of them earned sixty taels today, which was enough to pay for the four people.

Yang Ping'an refused.

I have to go to the Flower Pavilion sooner or later, just because of Liu Qingqing, a woman.

Dou Ye and Liu Qingqing should belong to the same heavyweight, one Dou Ye may not be able to stop the Drunken Xiao Pavilion, so what about adding another Liu Qingqing?

If something is abnormal, it is a demon, in the eyes of Yang Ping'an, Dou Ye and Liu Qingqing are both demons. So he didn't mind taking advantage of the two of them to fight against Zuixiao Pavilion, as long as he could ensure the safety of himself and Dong'er.

Dong'er stayed at the door as always, waiting for him to return, which made Yang Ping'an feel very warm. Fortunately, now that the weather is warmer, Dong'er's hands are not so cold.

"Lady, don't wait for me next time, if you freeze, I will feel distressed."

"The slave family has ground the tofu, and the husband has not returned for a long time, and the slave family is worried." Dong'er is very considerate and has a soft voice.

Holding Dong'er's little hand and kissing her on the cheek, Yang Ping'an did not say what happened tonight, for fear that she would worry: "Fool, what is there to worry about, I will be fine." ”

"The slave's eyelids are jumping non-stop tonight." Dong'er suddenly threw herself into Yang Ping'an's arms, clinging to her chest, "Xianggong, won't the slave family really be Kefu anymore?" ”

"Well, I'm a little worried, too. How about I unblock it for you again tonight? As he spoke, Yang Ping'an hugged Dong'er in his arms and walked to the bedroom laughing......

It's another night full of spring in the room.

The next morning, Yang Ping'an practiced boxing in the courtyard and cooked in the stove in winter.

In the era when cold weapons were rampant, the role of Bajiquan became more and more important, especially Yang Ping'an, who is now carrying a heavy treasure...... Well, under his "lust for profit", tofu has become a treasure.

After a few months of perseverance, his body gradually became stronger, his physical strength increased, and the most basic cross strength of Bajiquan was re-practiced, which made Yang Ping'an's heart feel much more steady.

After three trips to the boxing road, without stopping, he came to the old tree in the courtyard again to practice Tieshan. This is the best of the Bajiquan tricks, leaning against the wall, against the tree, and against the stump.

At the beginning of the meal, breakfast was completed, Dong'er carefully wiped the sweat on Yang Ping'an's face, and waited for him to change into clean clothes.

At this time, there will be such chaos outside the Yang family. Outside the door are people who rush to buy tofu, and the scolding is light, and twenty days ago, there were two restaurant guys who fought each other, just to earn the top nine in the entry.

Yang Ping'an's rules, the Jiuban tofu sold to Yanshi County does not charge a deposit and does not accept reservations. When eating, the door of the courtyard is opened, and there are nine people in the first courtyard, and they can each buy a plate of tofu. This made many restaurants send people to squat outside Yang's house in the middle of the night, just to grab a good position during the meal.

There is no doubt that this move is insidious, and it is also a last resort. Yang Ping'an has no foundation in Yanshi County, and whichever tofu is sold or not, it will attract hatred, and Zuixiao Pavilion is the most typical example.

Spreading the hatred to the restaurants was the only way for him to do it. In addition, squatting outside the hospital every night to guard a large number of restaurant jobs, it can be regarded as taking care of the home for him in disguise, why not kill two birds with one stone?

Jiuban tofu was sold out, and people from Luoyang followed.

The nine board tofu sold to Luoyang, Yang Ping'an eventually sold all of them to Zhuangyuanlou.

Luoyang Zhuangyuan Building is famous, the champion of each imperial examination high school, after the list is released, there will be a banquet here, even if it is a poor family, there will be people secretly funded, making the champion building famous.

The reason why he chose the Champion Building was because he learned from Dou Ye and Yang Guozhong that the backstage of the Luoyang Champion Building was a powerful person in the DPRK and China, a big magnate, otherwise how could all the previous champions hold a banquet in the Champion Building?

It's good that such a person doesn't take advantage of it, but how can he refute the other party's arguments?

For his acquaintance, the other party is also very generous, the unit price of nine plates of tofu is ten taels, and he pays a thousand taels of silver every ten years, and he earns ten taels more every time.

Someone from Luoyang rushed back to Luoyang with Jiuban tofu, and Yang Ping'an was idle, waiting for the oil powder trio to come to chat with him and fart.

But it's a little strange today, more than half of the corner, Dong'er was invited by the neighbor to talk, but the oil powder trio has not arrived.

They weren't going to go to the Hana Pavilion last night, were they?

While I was thinking, I heard a knock at the door, accompanied by crying.

The knock on the door was quick, and the crying was anxious.

"Come on! Help me! ”

"Dad, wake up, wake up!"

Yang Ping'an heard vaguely, walked quickly to the door, opened the door and looked, only to see a girl squatting on the ground in front of his house, holding a middle-aged man in her arms, crying and shouting. There was also a horned child beside her, crying and screaming. All three were dressed in coarse gray cloth, which covered their clothes with patches except for the children.

Seeing Yang Ping'an open the door, the girl hurriedly grabbed his trouser leg and begged: "Childe, childe, please save my father, please!" ”

The child in the horn also grabbed his trouser legs, begging with tears on his face: "Childe, please save my father, I can't live without my father!" ”

"You let go first, and then pull my pants and they will fall off!" Yang Ping'an grabbed his belt with both hands, "What's wrong with him?" ”

It's not that Yang Ping'an is cold-blooded, it's just that the family of three in front of him appeared too abruptly, especially since he just offended Zuixiao Pavilion last night, so he can't help but guard against it.

The girl and the child didn't explain, but just grabbed Yang Ping'an's trouser leg and kept begging, begging him to save people.

Their cries alarmed the neighbors, causing people to probe their brains and whisper about it. After all, Xiucai'an put his reputation there, although the neighbors are now counting on him, the God of Wealth, but ...... People have a conscience, don't they?

So, Yang Ping'an heard the most damning sentence, and his voice was very low: "The boss, you say this, could it be the injustice of Xiucai'an in his early years, and people brought their children to the door to find a husband?" ”

Nima, this kid is about ten years old, okay!

For these people's discussions, Yang Ping'an could directly ignore them, and he was about to throw out two taels of silver to send them away, but Dong'er came back.

Dong'er now has a very high status in this area, and the ladies of all families are vying to be good friends with her, because Yang Ping'an loves her and has a good relationship with her, so that the God of Wealth can take care of her more.

"Xianggong, what happened?"

Dong'er's appearance made the girl and the child give up Yang Ping'an at the same time and beg her, and she was soft-hearted, but her cherry lips were lightly opened, and Yang Ping'an knew that this family of three was stained with herself.

Sure enough, just as he carried the unconscious middle-aged man into the house, the crying pitiful sister and brother surrounded Dong'er and told about their tragic life experience.

Their surname is Su, and they are outsiders. The family of three barely survives by hunting and chopping wood. But this year, his hometown was hit by a plague and he had to flee to Yanshi.

They only relied on cold water to satisfy their hunger, but when they passed by the door of the Yang family today, Su's father suddenly fainted and didn't know what to do, which frightened the Su family sisters and brothers at a loss, so they could only keep crying and begging.

The words were as bitter and pitiful as Coptis water, which touched Dong'er's kind heart. She also used to rely on cold water for a few days, but fortunately, Yang Ping'an changed her evil and returned to the right, so that she has a happy life now.

Seeing Yang Ping'an walking out of the house, Dong'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Xianggong, you can help them!" ”

Yang Ping'an swept the sister and brother, and found that both of them were crying so black that they couldn't see their faces clearly, and after thinking for a while, they said expressionlessly: "Okay, here are ten taels of silver......

"Don't!" The girl suddenly interrupted Yang Ping'an's words and tugged on Dong'er's sleeve, "Madam, please take us in, we are desperate!" ”

"Don't worry!" Yang Ping'an looked at the girl with a playful expression, "I asked you to take these ten taels to your father to ask for a doctor, aren't you worried about your father's illness?" ”

The girl cried, and the child said crisply: "Daddy is not sick, you don't need to ask a doctor, Daddy is hungry." Sister, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten in days, I'm hungry, I want tofu! ”
