"So many people eat tofu for days on end?" Aren't you tired?

Li Qingyou's casual words aroused the surprised eyes of the officer, she thought that there was something on her face and she wanted to raise her hand to wipe it off, so she heard the official say: "Only your family." ”

Seeing that Li Qingyou was still confused, he explained again, "The county master said that he would only buy your family." ”

Li Qingyou looked at the other party's back in surprise, and then she realized what he said, she thought that the tofu in the county was rounded, so she asked.

I heard that the eldest prince of Wei brought 3,000 soldiers and horses this time, and it would not be unusual if there were only a few hundred pieces of tofu from their family.

It seems that this is borrowed from Wei Siqi's light.

If there is light, it will not be borrowed, and white will not be borrowed.

Li Qingyou turned around and scooped out twice as many dried beans in the bag in the big wooden basin where the beans are usually soaked, recently in addition to their family, there are other tofu factories in the county town have also begun to follow the tofu lettering, she knows that this day will come sooner or later, so hurry up and earn more while she can make more money now.

"Yo, did you buy it so early?" The sudden sound behind him startled Li Qingyou, and when she turned around, she saw the second aunt Sun next door holding an empty basin, looking at her with pity.

"Yes, the yamen is all round." Li Qingyou greeted with a smile and took a wooden bucket and prepared to go to the well at the entrance of the street to fetch water.

It takes at least two buckets of water to soak this large wooden pot of beans, and since the collapse with Zhang Tieniu, there are no more people who help fetch water every day, and the water tank at home has never been full.

He has a lot of strength, and he can come back with two full buckets of water at a time, but Li Qingyou can only make half a bucket of water and it is very difficult.

Second Aunt Sun also walked out, looking at the weak girl struggling to carry the heavy wooden barrel, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's just you two young ladies at home, it's really hard to have a hard time, Tie Niu can still help you ...... earlier"

Everyone lives in the neighborhood, it is no secret that Zhang Tieniu comes to help every day, and Li Qingyou doesn't take it seriously, just laughing and listening to the other party's idle teeth.

"But it's also a shame that you didn't get along with him, this person knows the face but doesn't know the heart......"

"Even if a big family gets this out, it won't be better, his Zhang family is a small family, and I'm afraid that he won't have to take care of his pants in a few days."

"It's because of your life that you didn't jump into this mud puddle......"

Second Aunt Sun squeezed her eyebrows and said that her eyebrows were flying, Li Qingyou didn't care about it at first, but the more she got later, her eyes widened.

Gambling?

"Impossible." Li Qingyou interrupted the other party's words and categorically denied it, "Brother Tie Niu is not that kind of person. ”

After knowing each other for more than three years, she still has a certain understanding of Zhang Tieniu's conduct.

This was originally invented by Han Xin more than 2,000 years ago because of the boredom of the soldiers in the army, I don't know how many people have been harmed, and I don't know how many families sell their sons and daughters, she doesn't believe that Zhang Tieniu is such a confused person.

And Zhang Tieniu also told her before that there was a man in the county who lost money and sold his daughter-in-law, and at that time he also accused the man of not being a man, how could he do this?

Second Aunt Sun's bear gossip was not relieved by Li Qingyou, so she pouted and left.

Li Qingyou didn't take this seriously, she knew that Zhang Tieniu had some gray income, just like some restaurants had to invite people from the yamen to have a big meal when they opened, and they sometimes went to some buying and selling shops to collect money called "hand cleaning fees", which were actually protection fees.

Zhang Tieniu also said that the county magistrate also has a blind attitude towards this matter, after all, he needs his subordinates to run errands, as long as he doesn't make a big fuss, he generally won't care.

And the hand fee they charge is basically defined in the category that the other party can get, but it is a little painful, the late Li Laohan was also charged a hand fee earlier, and the situation is better after getting to know Tie Niu Dad.

Second Aunt Sun said that when someone saw him coming out of the gambling house, it was estimated that he went to collect the money for his hands.

When Li Qingyou got the water and went home, he saw that his brother had not come back from going out to play, so he went to the gate behind where he usually stacked grain and beans.

The Li family was born in tofu, and they usually have to store a large number of beans, and after seeing that there was only a bag of beans left, Li Qingyou went back to the house and took a bunch of money to go to the Lianji grain store.

A hanging of money is 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to one tael of silver, and beans are two yuan a catty, and a "big customer" like her can give five catties for every extra 100 catties, so that a thousand wen can buy 525 catties.

Last time, she told the shopkeeper of Lianji Grain Store that she could buy 500 catties and deliver it to her door.

Li Qingyou was thinking about buying more japonica rice and miscellaneous grains in his heart, when he heard a big mess in front of him, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw Zhang Tieniu.

Zhang Tieniu, who walks almost sideways on weekdays, will be a little miserable, being pressed to the ground by a few splashes and kicked, and scolding and scolding non-stop.

"Stinky boy, wearing dog skins and fart, you dare to make trouble without asking what your surname is at the door, you say that you are a bitch, even if your county master Ye Zhichang loses the silver, you have to take it out and call me."

"What nonsense to talk to him, if you don't take the money today, you will abolish him."

Zhang Tieniu held his head in both hands, and the whole person curled up on the ground, trying to protect the vital points, leaving only the back and other rough and thick skin for the other party to fight.

Qingshan County is not a big place, but some people are not something that anyone can afford to provoke, especially behind this kind of third-rate business, there is generally a bit of backing behind it, Zhang Tieniu knows this very well, and he also knows which one can be provoked and which one cannot be provoked.

These people in front of them just can't be messed with.

But he didn't care.

At most, they beat him, and they didn't dare to kill him.

The next moment, a familiar voice was heard, "Stop, how can you hit someone casually, let him go." ”

The crisp voice was trembling because of fear, Zhang Tieniu's body stiffened, and he saw Li Qingyou's frightened and frightened little face along the legs of several thugs.

The bull's eyes like copper bells first burst out with surprise, and the next moment she seemed to think of something to block her face, covering her ears and stealing the bell, thinking that maybe she didn't recognize him, maybe she was scared by this group of people and left.

"Why are you beating people?"

"Naturally, he owes us silver, what's the matter, you give it for him?"

"Then, you can't beat people either, otherwise I'll report to the official."

"Ha, who to scare, killing people to pay off debts and paying off debts, this is a matter of course, either you give it for him, or you can stay where it is cool."

There is no reason to talk to these people, Li Qingyou clutched the money in her purse tightly, no matter what, Zhang Tieniu helped her a lot, if he hadn't been in front of the county master, maybe she would have been tortured in the Li family.

"No, I'll give it for him." Seeing that several people were about to make a move again, Li Qing hurriedly spoke to stop him, and at the same time untied the purse on his waist and threw it over, no matter what, save the person first.

In the next moment, a figure suddenly pounced......
