After a while, Yuan came back happily with the newly bought pork in his hand.

At this time, in the Zhao family's snack shop, diners who came to buy snacks had already lined up in a long human-shaped line.

There were not enough people in the shop, so Li had to collect money to sell food with both hands, standing at the front of the humanoid long dragon instead of Yuan, beckoning these diners who came to buy snacks.

Zhao Yu and several small ones also shuttled back and forth in the team, constantly telling Zhao Yinyan and Zhao Shanyu in the kitchen the number of snacks to make on behalf of the diners.

Seeing this, Yuan Shi was not idle at all, and immediately she sent all the pork in her hand to the well in the backyard to put it away, washed her hands, cleaned up her Lisuo, and came back to take over the work in Li's hands, greeting the diners in front of her.

Li began to concentrate on collecting money, and by the way, he discussed a few words with those diners who often came to the snack shop, and inquired about the situation outside.

…………

Aunt Wang is also an old man in the snack shop, carrying the lo-mei she bought for her own man today, and came to Li's eye with great interest, "Hey, Sister Li, do you remember, a few days ago, the Zheng butcher who sold pork in the alley in front of us?" ”

Li Shi nodded when he heard this, "Hey, I don't remember, we went to see it together,"

At the beginning, Zheng Butcher and the mother-in-law of the family did it, and they were taken away by the officials on the street, and she also bought a lot of cheap pork for this purpose.

Seeing that Aunt Wang suddenly mentioned Zheng Butcher's family, Li was surprised, "I heard that Zheng Butcher's mother-in-law wants to spend money to get people out, and it's been almost half a month since this happened, what's the matter?" Then she squeezed her eyebrows, "But came out?" ”

In this regard, Li is not worried.

Zheng Butcher is an ancestral pork shop, just selling pork for decades, relying on the sale of pork to save a lot of money, even if the county order is greedy, no matter how much money you want, most of them can be released.

As a result, Aunt Wang listened to Li's words, and hurriedly sighed, shaking her head with pity in her eyes, "Sister Li, you guessed wrong." ”

Li Shi was surprised, "What do you mean?" ”

"Hey"

Aunt Wang sighed and whispered, "I passed by the pork shop yesterday, and I heard the lady say that the money is not enough, and she wants to redeem the shop." ”

Li covered his mouth, his eyes widened, and he was surprised, "He, don't even want a shop?" ”

"No, it is said that the existing money in the family is not enough," Saying this, Aunt Wang quickly glanced around, and then hurriedly came to Li's eyes, muttering, "I let people hear that our county order actually opened his mouth, and he would ask for hundreds of taels of silver when he opened his mouth, otherwise, he would have to pull people to fill the army." ”

Lee's ......

Li Shi was shocked by this news, and hurriedly asked Aunt Wang, "Sister Wang, who did you listen to when you heard the news?" You can't spread that around. ”

This news, nonsense that being arrested will kill people!

Seeing that Li's facial expression did not seem to be fake, Aunt Wang also knew that her news had frightened people, and she was satisfied with Jida, she hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't be afraid, it's all my own family, and it has already spread." ”

After speaking, Aunt Wang didn't care about how Li's expression changed, said hello, carried the basket in her hand, and left the shop beautifully.

Li couldn't calm down for a long time, although he continued to entertain the next diner who came to check out, but he was also absent-minded and preoccupied.

…………

The frequency of such busyness did not improve until after noon.

They can take turns with each other so that everyone has a chance to take a breather.

Pushing the job of collecting money to Yuan, Li walked out of the counter with an ugly face, didn't say anything, and went directly to the backyard.

Zhao Yu, who was going to take the opportunity to say hot and sour noodles, didn't find a chance, so he could only swallow the words in his mouth until the evening.

On the Li side, he was troubled by the news he got from Aunt Wang and others, and he couldn't give birth when he returned to the house.

She had to find some work to do, chop and wash the pork by the well, and Li shook his hand and went back to the shop.

Because of the things in his heart, Li couldn't stay in the shop.

Li and Yuan simply greeted each other, didn't say anything, and hurriedly went out.

Walking out of the alley in front of him, Li didn't stay too long, but went straight to the largest restaurants in the city.

If you want to say that the most lively place in the city is the restaurant, there are many people going to the restaurant, the mouth is mixed, there are many diners coming and going, and there are all kinds of things inside and outside.

Li wanted to find out the news, and it was just right to come to the restaurant.

She didn't go in deliberately, just walked around the restaurant a few times, and left after a while.

In this way, after walking around the restaurant in almost several places, Li finally found out the news she wanted.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Shiyou went to several other places.

Without exception, the places she was going were around this main street.

There are several shops, some of which are engaged in food trading, some of which are daily necessities, and more of which are poultry shops.

It's just that these few houses that Li came to are either closed or out of business, and there is one with the door open, and the shopkeeper's sad face is not good to ask if the Li family doesn't buy anything.

didn't stop long, Li took the opportunity to go to the pork shop where the accident had happened before, and saw that there was indeed a strip of Zhang Dui shop on the door of the shop, and Li's face turned cold.

What Aunt Wang said in the afternoon was true.

Hurried back to the shop, Li beckoned Zhao Shanyu, who was still in the back kitchen, to close the door early.

Closing early again?

Zhao Shanyu was puzzled and wanted to ask why, but was stopped by Zhao Yinyan, who was sharp-eyed on the side.

Zhao Yinyan stretched out her hand, carefully pointed at the Li family with an ugly expression, shook her head, and signaled him not to speak yet.

Zhao Shanyu was stunned, nodded his head, and turned back to the back kitchen to check the remaining snack ingredients.

There is little left in the kitchen, and the lo-mei in the shop is sold cleanly, and closing the door early does not affect anything.

Bringing the wooden plank that closed the door, Zhao Shanyu blocked the door of the shop piece by piece.

Seeing that the door of the shop was closed, Li Shi took a breath, sat on the stool and tilted his head and rubbed his head.

At this time, Yuan hurried over and asked Li what he was eating tonight.

Li replied lightly, and then sat on the stool without saying a word.

Obviously the mood is not right.

Yuan didn't dare to leave, and hurriedly gestured to Zhao Yinyan.

Zhao Yinyan didn't dare to say anything, but her eyes signaled Yuan to be calm and restless.

…………

Li didn't speak, it was not a problem for everyone to wait like this, and in the end, Zhao Shanyu couldn't help but speak, "Mother, did you come back too early today, and your body can't stand it, or do you go back to the house first and then rest?" ”

Li shook his head, "It's okay, you can do whatever you have to do, I'll stay by myself for a while." ”

didn't say all her guesses, because Li felt that she still had to figure out what the county decree meant by doing this.

If it's just the Zheng butcher of the pork shop, forget it.

In the short month since their shop opened, there have been several arrests in the city.

It's all because of some trivial things, but the people who were arrested are all the owners of some shops in the city, and the common feature is that the shops they run by themselves have good profits and make a lot of money.

Moreover, the families of these people wanted to redeem them with money, but so far none of them have been released safely.

This troubled Lee, because she had a terrible guess.

Before coming out of the house, Zhao Fuxiang said that the world is not peaceful, and I am afraid that there will be a war.

What is the purpose of war, Li does not understand.

But she knows that everything in the imperial court needs to cost a lot of money, and the current county order is not a disguised search for the people's money.

This matter will not be their turn in the turn, it will be their turn.

The longer Lee grew, the more he was worried.

Don't look at their snack shop, which has just opened for a month, but it makes a lot of money, although it is not as good as the grain and oil shops and other big stores, but it is also worth the income of those tepid shops for several months.

If their family is targeted, something will happen to them.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was inappropriate, Li was scared and covered in cold sweat, and his body was nervous.

Because he was so immersed in his own thoughts, Li didn't even notice the situation around him.

Her trance-like expression happened to be seen by Zhao Yu on the side, Zhao Yu was puzzled, although she was more concerned about the temple fair at the moment, but her expression was obviously wrong.

It seems to have started when her grandmother collected the money in the afternoon.

Could it be that something happened?

Zhao Yu was worried.
