Chapter 464: Bribery
The middle-aged vendor was very enthusiastic, and when he spoke, he put down the flat burden on his shoulders.
A bamboo basket was picked at each end of the pole and covered with a white cloth.
I saw the middle-aged trader uncover the white cloth of the basket behind him, and took out a log-colored food box from the basket, handed it to Liu and Liu Qianli, and said: "Lady, this food box is pastry, do you want to take a look?" ”
Although the food box is the original color of the wood, it is polished and smooth, and it is not cheap at a glance, and it is suitable to sell it in the pastry shop, how can it be sold in the hands of the merchant?
Liu didn't take over and asked, "How did you sell this pastry?" How much does a box cost? ”
Seeing that Liu Shi didn't answer anything, the middle-aged trader was anxious, so he simply opened the lid of the food box, took out a piece of chestnut cake from the food box, handed it to Liu, and said: "Lady, whether it tastes good or not, you can taste it first, I don't need money for this to be delicious." Enthusiastically selling it, seeing that the Liu family was still a little hesitant, he said hurriedly: "The sky is blue and white, is it possible that the small one dares to poison?" Not to mention that there is a Lang Jun next to the lady watching, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at these people who are going around! ”
Listening to the middle-aged vendor's urging again and again, Liu frowned lightly, looked up at her husband Liu Qianli, saw her husband nodding to her secretly, and saw that there were indeed passers-by outside the house, Liu still reached out to take the piece of chestnut cake, and the middle-aged trader was immediately relieved, staring at Liu with bright eyes to taste the chestnut cake.
Liu's heart was careful, and he noticed that the merchant's eyes were unusually eager, and he felt that the pastry in his hand was heavier than the ordinary pastry, and he couldn't help but pause, turned his body slightly, slightly turned away from the middle-aged vendor's gaze, and then half-covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and took the chestnut cake in the other hand and bit it gently, which was a "bang".
"Hui Niang?" Seeing that the Liu family froze, as if he had eaten something strange, Liu Qianli couldn't help but say with concern.
The merchant was overjoyed, and asked meaningfully, "Lady, can this pastry have your appetite?" ”
Liu didn't speak, only let go of the half-covered hand, and moved the chestnut cake out of his mouth a little, only to see a little cake crumbs on the chestnut cake, revealing a piece of gold.
Liu suddenly gasped, his hands shook, and the pastry almost fell to the ground.
His wife has always been steady, and when she rarely panicked like this, Liu Qianli saw the hidden gold, so she could only be concerned again: "Huiniang, our family has enough food to eat, if you are unwell, we won't buy it, let's go back first." ”
The middle-aged trader turned a deaf ear to Liu Qianli's words, and only looked at Liu's face with a look that was very sure that Liu's would accept this pastry and said: "Looking at the lady's expression, it must be the taste of this pastry for the lady." As one more buyer, this box of pastries will be given to the lady. As he spoke, ignoring the frightened Liu, and ignoring Liu Qianli's eyes widening in surprise, he handed the food box in his hand to Liu's again.
Liu took a deep breath and looked at the food box that had reached in front of him.
"Lady, go on! Don't want money! Seeing that the Liu family was slow to pick it up, the middle-aged businessman had a strong tendency to stuff it into the Liu family's hands.
Not to mention such eagerness, where in the world is there anything to eat for free?
Nowadays, food is expensive, and how can ordinary people afford to eat such extravagant food as pastries?
Not to mention that there is such a clear piece of gold in this chestnut cake!
You can't go wrong.
The pastry is soft and glutinous, how can it be toothy?
Even if her eyes were wrong, the hardness of her teeth would never be wrong.
There is no merit and no benefit, and there must be something to ask for if you win people for nothing, what is there for you to ask for?
One poor and two white, born with mud legs, the only one who can look down on his own family, that is, the youngest daughter A Xing is the first female champion in the country, and now she is still a nine-grade female history, quite valued by the empress, like today, she got an imperial mission, investigating the case of huge annual loss in Chang'an and Guanzhong Guancang.
This is not?
I just came back for a trip, and I also led an office horse, and I had to send my old mount back first......
Before a thought could be finished, Liu Shi was shocked.
The middle-aged trader saw that the Liu family was in a trance, and only thought that he would let the Liu family accept it no matter what, but he didn't say a word at the moment, and he didn't insist that the Liu family hold it with his own hands, so he put the food box on the ground and said, "Don't be polite, lady, accept it, I'll put it here for you!" As he spoke, he was about to pick up the flat pole that was lying on the ground.
How can people run away like this?
As soon as Liu Shi reacted, he shouted: "Erlang, there is no merit, we can't ask for food without money!" ”
The husband and wife had a tacit understanding, and as soon as Liu Qianli heard this, he stepped forward and blocked the middle-aged trader.
The middle-aged trader is only of medium stature, but Liu Qianli is tall, and he also goes up the mountain to hunt all the year round, and his strength, even under the cloth, can see the slight bulge of the tendon flesh, symbolizing strength.
With this block, the middle-aged traders immediately had no way out.
Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then leaned over the food box that was resting on the ground, the sense of weight came, his brows frowned, and he looked up to see that his husband had already held the merchant, and there were many people coming and going outside the door of his courtyard, so he should have noticed the movement on their side, and they all slowed down and looked at them.
After understanding the surrounding situation, Liu Shi took a breath and made up his mind, then carried the food box and said righteously: "Merchant, what do you mean by this?" Aren't you a pastry seller? How to put down a box of pastries and leave, and don't say how much it is to ask you. If we don't take money, we may ask for nothing. ”
After that, Liu did the same, stepped forward, and handed the food box to the middle-aged vendor.
The middle-aged traders had just forcibly stuffed the Liu family to slip away, how could they reach out to pick it up at this time.
Liu didn't care about it, no one answered the food box when it was handed over, and as soon as he let go, there was a "knock-" sound, the food box fell to the ground, the lid of the food box spread out, and the pastries inside were scattered all over the ground.
Falling from mid-air, Rao is ground is a loess compacted ground, far less hard than a stone fall, and it is enough to make the pastry fall to pieces, clearly revealing the pieces of gold.
"Oh my God!"
"What's that!"
"Gold!"
I saw that among the scattered pastries, there were gold bars the size of pastries.
The bribe is revealed!
Daozheng Fang has ordinary people who live in Pingtou, but more people live in the eunuchs' homes, and when they see this forced pastry, they turn out to hide gold in the pastry, what does it mean, I don't understand, and it boils all at once.
The middle-aged trader had no choice but to quickly pick up the gold bars scattered all over the place and run away.
Looking at the middle-aged businessman who fled with rats, Liu Shichang breathed a sigh of relief.
