"Don't worry, it should be these two days." Li Liufu's face was calm.

The old forest didn't squeak.

"That's good." Hua Jiao didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went back to his room.

After squinting for a while, the window paper gradually turned blue.

Sichuan pepper no longer sleeps.

I went to the next door to see Lin Feng, and saw that he was still closed and unconscious, so he left Li Liufu to take care of him, and went to the store with Lao Lintou. ”

"Who did you listen to?" Pepper asked.

"The officers and soldiers all searched the entire Wutong Town last night, how can there be a fake?" Zhang Butcher lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there are seven or eight people who escaped from the dock, and Fifth Master Qin was also implicated, and he was lecturing on the dock, what do you think, if there are no Dongchu spies on the dock, there are so many people, why can't you catch a person?" ”

"How does the government know that those people are Dongchu spies?" Sichuan pepper asked again.

"I don't know about this, I heard that the government has been watching it for many days." Zhang Butcher looked at the pepper and said, "By the way, I heard that your second uncle moved to the town the day before yesterday, and I also saw Qin Wuye go to his house to drink last night!" ”

"yes, I don't know." Huajiao has never been interested in the affairs of the two of them, and he has never heard anyone talk about it, but he only knows that they are now carrying bags on the dock, and the ship booked at the ship has not yet been completed.

As soon as the Zhang butcher left, when the shopkeeper Wang came to visit the door, he also told Huajiao about the Dongchu spies, and told Huajiao to pay attention to the faces in the town, saying that more than 20 Dongchu spies escaped from the dock, and Huajiao smiled: "So much? ”

"Not really!" The shopkeeper of the king didn't know what to do, and he spat and said, "I heard that those Dongchu people all carry knives, and they cut people when they see them, anyway, just be careful." ”

Sichuan pepper road is.

"And that Miss Wu, she is determined not to let us do business, before fifty catties a day, now a day more than 100 catties, and also stipulates that only fifty percent of the silver will be collected after eating in the store, if you take it away, you will receive eighty percent if you exceed two catties." Shopkeeper Wang said indignantly, "In this way, her shop is full of people, and many people come to her store to eat meat, what do you think we should do?" ”

"Is this the case?" Sichuan pepper was very surprised.

Wu Mei is so rich?

"The guy from Wanli Coriander Restaurant was standing at the door just now and shouting, it can't be wrong." Shopkeeper Wang said with a bitter face, "Our previous method didn't work!" ”

"Does the king's shopkeeper know where the homeless beggars in the town are located?" The pepper was in his heart, and the shopkeeper Wang's eyes lit up, and the chicken nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I know, it's over there in the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the town." ”

Girl, you have an idea!

"Shopkeeper Wang, Miss Wu has done good deeds, we can't stand idly by, right?" Hua Jiao smiled, "Isn't it more than 100 catties, and it's so cheap, two or three catties of meat for one person is enough, why don't we each pay half of the silver, how about inviting those people to eat at Wanli Coriander Restaurant?" ”

More than 100 catties, less than two taels of silver.

She can afford it.

The shopkeeper Wang was slightly stunned, and Hua Jiao said: "If the shopkeeper Wang has difficulties, then I will come out alone." ”

No, no, I'm out, I'm out, and we're half out as a family. Only then did the shopkeeper Wang come back to his senses, nodded again and again and smiled, "Don't worry, the Wanli Coriander Restaurant is definitely lively at noon today." ”

Sure enough, noon arrived.

Groups of beggars took copper plates and entered the Wanli Coriander Restaurant with a straight face, and paid for meat to eat unusually arrogantly, Wang Dashan said that as long as they bought meat to eat in this store, he gave money every day, such a good thing, it was difficult to find even with a lantern.

For a while, the store was surrounded by beggars.

The smell of sweat and feet made the shopkeeper pinch his nose and take a detour.

However, Wu Mei asked Xie Shi to see the jewelry and was not in the store, and the guys in the store were still a little happy at first, and went home early to rest after selling the meat early, but as more and more beggars entered the store, the good hall instantly became a beggar's nest, and some of those beggars had not eaten meat for several years, and when they saw the meat coldly, they couldn't wait to swallow it in one bite, which was full of ugliness, but after all, they came to eat with money, and the shopkeeper was not good to let them go.

In less than half an hour, the meat in the Wanli Coriander Restaurant was sold out.

The beggars were full of food and drink, burping their stomachs and going out, and they all made an appointment to come back when the meal was ready.

The shopkeeper wanted to cry without tears.

God, don't let these people come again!!

Stinks to death!

Wu Mei, who came back after buying jewelry, heard that a group of beggars had come to the store, so she was so angry that her face turned red, and she jumped to her feet and said: "It must be a bad idea from peppercorns, no one on this street dares to go against me!" ”

"What then, miss?" The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "As soon as those people came in, they made the store smelly, and the customers who came to eat in the store smoked away, and they didn't want to sit and eat with the beggars." ”

"Write a sign to keep beggars from entering the store." Wu Mei said with a dark face, "I want to see what other ideas Hua Jiao has." ”

The shop is small.

Who knows, in the evening, those beggars squatted in front of the door of the Wanli Coriander Restaurant early and waited for the meal to open, and the shopkeeper came out several times and they didn't leave, shouting at the door: "It's not that we don't give money, why don't we let us enter the store?" We're here to cheer on Miss Wu. ”

Wu Mei was so noisy that she had a headache.

simply gritted his teeth and said, "It's closed, it's not for sale." ”

"But these meat ......," the shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "can't they be broken?" ”

"You're divided!" Wu Mei was impatient.

The shopkeeper is overjoyed.

They divided the meat in pots.

Obediently, if you can't eat enough, sell it to those beggars, they know that those beggars have money in their hands!

Shopkeeper Wang immediately told Huajiao the news of the closure of Wanli Coriander Restaurant, and said happily: "The girl is really smart, forgive her and don't dare to mess around anymore, those beggars are not easy to mess with." ”

"I hope so." Hua Jiao smiled: "Tomorrow in the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone will celebrate the festival at home, and I will do the evening market since the sixteenth." ”

It's better to be busy.

When you're busy, you won't be cranky.

Alas, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, can Pei Ze come back?

At night, Lin Feng began to have a fever, Lao Lintou boiled medicine to feed him, and gave him a needle, woke up and ate half a bowl of white porridge and fell asleep, Hua Jiao sighed in his heart, how tired he is!

The next day, there was no class.

The Wang family asked Pei Ying to come to the town to take Pei An back, and Pei Ying repeatedly instructed the pepper: "Mother said, let you go home with the third brother for the holiday." ”

"Got it." Thinking of Pei Ze, Sichuan pepper was a little congested.

A day ago, Cheng Shen came to the store again to look for peppercorns, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Tong was released, I hired a carriage for him and asked him to go home for the holidays, he said that he would stay at home for a few days, and he would go to Yaxing to help me, do you have anything else to ask?" ”

"Wait until he comes back!" Huajiao said, "Where is his home?" ”

"On the side of Jiu'an Mountain in Yucheng, it will be four hours for the fastest, and six hours for the slow, and it will be dark when he arrives home." Cheng Shen looked around and asked again, "What happened to that person?" ”

"Still unconscious." Hua Jiao said, Cheng Shen asked again, "Who is that person, and how did you know each other?" ”

"A guest who came to eat at my restaurant before." Hua Jiao said in a low voice, "Now it is rumored everywhere that he is a spy of Dongchu, so don't ask." ”

Cheng Shen nodded: "I won't ask." ”

Huajiao went to the stove room and packed up a few packets of beef jerky, pork jerky and spiced fish jerky, put them in a grass basket made of fairy daylily and handed them to Cheng Shen: "This is my newly made road dish, you take it to Mr. Tong and let him eat it on the road." ”

In any case, Mr. Tong is a storyteller.

It would be best to ask him to help her promote the road food.

The government just didn't let him talk about the Five Tiger Army, and didn't say that he wouldn't let him say anything else, even if he went to Cheng Shen's tooth shop as a shopkeeper in the future, he could still go to Xiaoyao Teahouse to tell stories at night.

"So generous?" Cheng Shen was surprised.

Hua Jiao glanced at him and said calmly: "I'm a fan of Mr. Tong, isn't it normal to send him something?" ”

"Fans?" Cheng Shen scratched his head.

He likes to eat potato flour, lubricated and lubricated.

With some coriander, it is very refreshing.

"I mean, I love listening to Mr. Tong and I hope he will come back soon." As he spoke, Hua Jiao waved his hand at him, "Don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future, go find Sister Lu to sit down." ”

Cheng Shen shrugged, carried the straw basket, got into the carriage without saying a word, and left slowly.

Before the meal was served, Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou marinated the meat and prepared side dishes in the stove room.

Guan Mao was busy writing the name of the dish on the wooden sign.

Feng Shi sat at the counter with a gloomy expression and made a straw basket with fairy daylily, and when he had nothing to do, Hua Jiao made her a cup of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to her, and asked, "It's time to settle the bill for the grass basket, right?" But take the money out of the ark. ”

If you want to make road vegetables, you have to have a straw basket.

Sichuan pepper asked Feng to dry the fairy daylily and find the neighbors to help compile various vegetable baskets, five pennies a penny, the neighbors are very supportive, and they are willing to help weave, the new house here is not ready, and the straw baskets that are now braided are all temporarily stacked in Feng's house.

What moved the pepper even more was that Wang Rong also found this kind of fairy daylily on Tongcheng Mountain, and specially cut it for her for three whole days, and was drying it on the roof of their house.

Since earning those few small yellow croakers, Wang Rong is no longer so hard-working when he goes to sea, before he planned to go back to the village to help Pei Ze raise fish, but Feng changed his mind to give him a concubine, he resigned a few times, but he didn't screw Feng in the end, so he had to agree.

Every day I go to the beach and cast a few nets and come back.

Either watch people play chess, or go to the teahouse to listen to books, and the life is very leisurely.

Feng Shi came out of nowhere: "I bought a concubine for your cousin, and let them have a round house last night." ”

Pepper didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

I don't know what to say.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Feng reluctantly smiled, "I hope she can give birth to a son for our Wang family." ”

Sichuan pepper just laughed.

"By the way, how many fish does the third child have to sell, why hasn't he come back?" Feng kept weaving the grass basket in his hand, "It's a festival today!" ”

"He's supposed to be back today!" Huajiao frowned and said, it's been seven days, and there is not even a letter.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

"The third brother is back." Guan Mao shouted happily at the door.

Hua Jiao was overjoyed, lifted her skirt and ran out.
