When those four people fled yesterday, how could they suddenly die in the windbreak?

If Pei Ze wanted to get rid of them, he would have solved them in the woods yesterday, wouldn't it be so troublesome?

Thinking of this, Sichuan pepper can't care about selling goods.

He put the basket at an old woman selling vegetables at the stall and asked her to help watch it, and followed the crowd to the windbreak.

The windbreak is planted with many pine trees.

Unlike the back mountain, the pine forests here are sparse, and there are not many fallen leaves on the ground, so the forest is very empty.

Seeing the excitement, there were many people, and the officers and soldiers shouted at everyone not to approach, saying that they wanted to protect the scene.

Peppercorns crowded into the crowd for a while before they could see the outfits of the four people lying on the ground.

That's right, it was indeed the man in black who attacked her and Pei Ze yesterday.

There was an extra black line in the middle of the hat of the person who carried her away, and at this time, the hat with the black line happened to be scattered in the grass not far from her feet......

Someone whispered around him:

"These four people are the bandits of Black Tiger Mountain at first glance, and they must have been killed by black eating black."

"But I heard that the bandits of Black Tiger Mountain robbed the rich and helped the poor, they are good bandits!"

"Good bandits also have opponents, I heard that they are mortal enemies with Qinglongzhai, the largest bandit gang in the northwest, and nine times out of ten, these four people were done by people from Qinglongzhai."

"Shhh, don't you dare to mention Qinglong Village, the people of Qinglong Village don't blink an eye when they kill people, maybe there are their people here......"

The two of them covered their mouths in unison and quietly withdrew.

Sichuan pepper: "......"

Could it be that Pei Ze is a bandit who kills people in Qinglong Village without blinking?

No wonder he took out the ninety taels of silver from Bao Shantou without blinking, and he didn't care about Pei Man's dowry of three taels of silver.

What's more, he alone can beat these four men in black...... Thinking that she had been going in and out with him for the past two days, Hua Jiao felt more and more depressed, in case he killed her on a whim one day......

Oh my God, she didn't dare think about it anymore.

Seeing that Guan Mao and Guan Sheng were still watching the excitement with relish, the peppercorns quietly squeezed out of the crowd, and returned to Nanshi with mixed feelings.

When the old woman who showed her the stall saw her return, she hurriedly beckoned to her and said, "Girl, why have you come back?" Someone just came looking for you! ”

"Someone is looking for me, where is he?" Hua Jiao subconsciously felt that it was Pei Ze.

The old woman who was selling vegetables pointed to the intersection in front of her and said, "He said that he is a guy from the Xiaoyao Teahouse, so you should stop selling them and send the remaining chestnuts to them in the teahouse." ”

As soon as Hua Jiao heard this, he secretly rejoiced, picked up the basket and went to the Xiaoyaoju Teahouse.

Compared with yesterday's Mingxiang Pavilion, Xiaoyaoju is more like a teahouse, as soon as you enter the door, you can hear the noisy sound of gongs and drums, the whole teahouse is a hollow layout, the middle of the first floor is a huge stage, the upstairs and downstairs are full of people, from time to time there are bursts of cheers, the teahouse guy knows the pepper, saw her come in with a basket, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are here, just now I went to buy you a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, my shopkeeper thinks it is delicious, so I want to wrap all your chestnuts round, I went back to look for you, but you are not there, Did you go to the windbreak to see the excitement? ”

"I went and saw it." Huajiao nodded, simply took out all the chestnuts in the back basket and put them on the counter, the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, with a square face and a wide forehead, looking very shrewd and capable, he smiled and said to Huajiao: "Girl, you are from Wutong Mountain, right?" How many chestnuts are left at home? ”

"About a hundred pounds." Sichuan pepper replied truthfully.

Only then did Sichuan pepper know that the back mountain was Wutong Mountain.

In fact, there are a lot of chestnut trees in Wutong Mountain, but they were picked quickly, and there is not much left.

The chestnuts she picked up were all from Huxiaogang, because no one went, so she picked up so many.

"Although the chestnuts in Wutong Mountain are small, they are soft and sweet, and the people in the town like to eat them. The shopkeeper smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, "We can fry it ourselves, the price, it's the same as the cooked one, and I'll give you a penny and a catty, but there is a condition, you can't sell it on the dock." ”

They sell it in the store, of course, not for a penny or a pound.

But if the little girl sells it cheaply on the dock, it will definitely affect the business of his shop, and today he saw several customers walking in with chestnuts, drinking tea and listening to the play, so he asked the young man to buy them and taste them, and then decided that the teahouse also sold chestnuts.

"You mean to buy out my chestnuts!" As soon as Hua Jiao heard this, he understood, and said in a deep voice, "But as far as I'm concerned, if someone offers a higher price than you, of course I will sell it to someone with a higher price, so what you say can't be sold to others, I can't agree, unless you show enough sincerity, such as two pennies a pound of raw chestnuts, I can consider it." ”

She doesn't have to fry it herself, and she doesn't have to spend money to buy sugar cubes herself, of course she is willing.

But they didn't let her go to the dock to sell, it would be too lenient.

"Ahem, forget it...... shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "you can send all your chestnuts first!" ”

He certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to spend two pennies on something worth one.

"Okay, deal!" Hua Jiao replied cheerfully, "I'll send you chestnuts tomorrow." ”

Money is money.

Let's make a small profit first.

After selling chestnuts, Sichuan pepper footsteps easily out of the Xiaoyao Teahouse, go to the opposite noodle restaurant to spend two copper plates to ask for a bowl of fried sauce noodles, fried sauce noodles are very authentic, full of sauce fragrance, all kinds of small dishes are very affordable, Sichuan pepper is very satisfied, after eating to see that the hour is still early, then casually wander back and forth in the town, in the bustling crowd, she wants to have a shop of her own in this dock town, live the life she wants.

At least you don't have to look at anyone's face in the Pei family.

In fact, the flow of people in this town is still quite large, outsiders with accents can be seen everywhere, the closer to the wharf the shops are more luxurious, she inquired, the smaller store in the west of the town is fifty copper plates a month, and the east side of the wharf is a random small shop, the rent is five hundred copper plates a month, and a little decent one has to be about one or two.

She sold all the chestnuts to sell two hundred copper plates...... At present, it seems that it is unrealistic for her to open a store and do business on this side of the dock.

Perhaps because of the high rent, most of the fixed food stalls on this side of the pier are open-air.

I heard that she charges ten copper coins a month for protection or something, of course, she can still afford ten copper plates.

But here's the problem, Tonghua Village has to climb a mountain beam from the town, she can't bring pots and pans back to the village every day, to put it simply, she still needs a room to put her pots and pans, if she rents a house in the west of the town to put those cooking utensils, and comes to the dock to set up a food stall, then she needs a small cart, she asked, a small cart costs a hundred copper coins.

She doesn't have that much money now.

After weighing it, she decided to sell the chestnuts on hand first, and then go to Huxiaogang to find some mountain goods that can be sold to try her luck in the town.

Pei Ze didn't break his promise, and came to Beishi to pick her up after a while.

Hua Jiao originally wanted to tell him about the four men in black, but when he thought about it, the matter was so big, he must have known, since he didn't mention it, then she didn't have to ask again.

It's him, it's not.

It's not something she can ask.

Along the way, neither of them spoke to anyone.

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw another circle of people at the door of Pei's house.

Seeing the two of them coming back, everyone hugged each other and said: "The third brother, your eldest brother and mother-in-law came to the door to ask for a dowry, your mother disagreed, the Liu family has taken your sister-in-law back to her mother's house, you go in and take a look, it's all fought just now!" ”

"Oh, I heard that the second child is a dowry of three taels of silver, and now the eldest daughter-in-law has to make up for this number, five taels of silver at once, who can take it......"

Pei Ze had a calm face and entered the door without saying a word.

Huajiao followed behind, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Wang's sharp voice coming from the main house: "Pei Chunshan, I can't live this day, I want to leave with you, you lead your two sons over!" ”

"Sister-in-law, let's talk about things, don't talk about these things that you don't have, you are still leaving, where are you and leaving!"

"Shut up!"
