Chapter 234: Qian Laosi is out of trouble
Zhang Yuanwai's entourage took the scale, weighed the elbow, and said in a loud voice four catties, three taels and one elbow.
"What? Four pounds and three taels? You're not lying, the elbow of a boar that is slaughtered every four years is only three pounds and a half miles. Why is this only four pounds and three taels? "When Qian Laosi was in Qianjia Village, he used to watch people kill pigs during the Chinese New Year, and the elbow boss was only three and a half catties......
Zhang Yuanwai smiled and didn't speak, only holding the elbow and dangling back and forth in front of the tip of his nose, the rich fragrance caused Qian Laosi to swallow directly, and his eyes were straight, where did he care if it was three catties and five taels or four catties and three taels.
This Zhang Yuanwai really didn't change his treacherous and sinister nature, and the raw elbow was boiled over a large fire, but I don't know how much water to pour into it. In this way, it is still higher than the market price, but taking advantage of the psychology that people think that they will win and eat free meat, these two pigs are estimated to have earned him money in the end.
Some of the onlookers understood his trick and couldn't help but scoff, but they were amused by Qian Laosi's funny appearance, and stayed to see the excitement.
Qian Laosi couldn't close it so much, so he snatched the cooked and rotten boiled elbow that was dangling in front of his eyes and took a bite of it, but the meat was too crispy, and he swallowed it directly in his mouth. Qian Laosi gnawed half of his elbow in one breath, then he took a breath and muttered how sweet your elbow is here, he shook his head while looking for the jar of tempeh, stretched the elbow into the jar of tempeh, and touched it, and gnawed it up.
When everyone saw him like this, they couldn't help laughing, this old man was still poor and exquisite, and he tasted sweet when he ate big meat.
The other few people who only ate noodles saw that Qian Laosi was eating elbows and eating happily, and suddenly felt that the noodles in their mouths had become mud on the ground, and there was no taste at all, and one of them simply abandoned the dishes for eating noodles, and went to the pot to take out the meat to eat.
There are even those who go straight to the meat at the beginning, and these are all people who are known for their large amounts of food in the vegetarian day.
Of the seven people, three of them had eaten their pasta at the end, waved their hands and walked away. The other four people feasted on a few mouthfuls of fragrant meat in the pot, and at the beginning they were still rushing to eat the fat and white meat of the fat buttocks, and gradually some people began to enjoy the greasy, and instead ate the fat and thin five flowers, and then they were all competing for the lean meat of the firewood......
The five of them ate meat, plus they drank so much soup in front of them, and there was pasta in their stomachs, but in the end, no one was convinced, and they barely ate a few pots of meat. Then he waited for Zhang Yuanwai to announce the results.
Zhang Yuanwai pointed to the next two pots, and said that these must also be eaten, and those who lose will be counted according to one pound of silver.
"What? A pound of silver? Qian Laosi stomped his feet and said that it was only three or five cents to hang the pig's large intestine, which was also expensive.
"If you don't eat it, you lose." Zhang Yuanwai snorted coldly, you have eaten a total of four catties and three taels of elbows, one catty and two taels of buttocks fat, three and a half catties of pork belly and five flowers, a total of ninety Wen, hand it over quickly, don't want to play tricks.
Ninety texts? Qian Laosi didn't hit the burp when he was full, and he almost lost his breath when he grabbed it in his throat. The other four people calculated in their hearts, what they ate was not much different from Qian Laosi, if they fought again, maybe this meal would be free.
In this way, they all went to eat the pig quickly, and when Qian Laosi saw them like this, he had to hold his bulging stomach and eat it reluctantly.
Originally, I felt that the fragrant marinated large intestine was in my mouth, but now when I ate it, I only felt that it was fat and smelly, and Qian Laosi vomited immediately. The others were so smoked by him that they almost vomited, but when they saw that his little eyes lit up after he vomited, he ate faster, and laughed and said that he had found the trick and won this time.
His appearance was really disgusting and ruined everyone, and some of them couldn't stand the smell of filth he spit out, and left one after another.
Anyway, in the end, the next two big pots of goods, I really can't eat it, even if I lose and lose money, I can't manage so much, it's important to save my life.
Zhang Yuanwai happily took the abacus and calculated them one by one. A few of them ate a lot of food, because Qian Laosi ate noodles in front of him, so he was the least, and the other few people were only one or two taels. Zhang Yuanwai raised his eyebrows, pointed to one of them, and said that this one has eaten the most and can go, and the rest will be handed over to me.
Each person has to take more than a penny of silver, and where can ordinary people afford it, one penny of silver is enough for their family to eat for two months. Mo said that Qian Laosi's family was very strict with the money, and Qian Laosi had to steal three or five copper plates on the soles of his shoes to eat and drink, and where did he take this money and silver.
Qian Laosi was excited, and suddenly the old tears were vertical/horizontal, kneeling at the feet of Zhang Yuanwai, kowtowing vigorously, and begging in his mouth to say that Master Zhang was gracious, just spare the small one, today is the second day of February, the old man invited me to wait for meat, and I will do all good deeds, all as good deeds, and ask Lord Zhang to be gracious.
His crying shook the sky, which made Zhang Yuanwai stunned for a moment, pointed to his nose and scolded, For the first time in so many years, I have seen someone thicker than me.
How did Qian Laosi not listen to what he said at all, he cried on the ground vigorously, and when the four over there saw it, they immediately drew a scoop according to the gourd, and knelt on the ground and cried and begged.
This has eaten enough oil and water, and the confidence is enough, and the howl of Master Zhang's encouragement is deafening.
"Shut up!" What kind of character Zhang Yuanwai, where can he let such a mud leg play tricks, he immediately ordered the thugs to come forward and set them up one by one.
He threatened that if he would not give them money, he plucked out their garments, tied them to the willow trees, and whipped them, so that the people on the banks of the river could see and be lively.
These words were so good that they began to dig out the money, and those who did not have any silver with them promised to go home and raise money.
Qian Laosi thought about it for a while, and began to take off his clothes, and finally only took off the pants inside.
The little maids in the crowd who had not come out of the pavilion screamed and blocked their eyes, but everyone else applauded.
Qian Laosi was naked, and his old face was also red, but he knew that his mother-in-law was powerful, and he would be whipped a few times at most if he couldn't take out the silver here, and if he dared to ask the mother-in-law at home for silver, he would be hacked to death with a kitchen knife.
Qian Laosi was tied to the willow tree, and when the crowd watching the excitement here was at most, Zhang Yuanwai personally went to the whip, and dipped it back and forth in the chopped red pepper jar over there, and smacked it on Qian Laosi's body with a "snap".
Qian Laosi's "whoop" was worse than the scream of killing pigs, and his flesh trembled with pain.
He didn't expect it to hurt so much to be whipped by red peppers, and he knew that it would be better to go home and provoke the tigress in his house!
"Smack!" Another whip.
Qian Laosi couldn't stand it, and suddenly cried loudly: "Xiaocui, you have been the most obedient since you were a child, come and save your father, if you don't come, you will be killed!" ”
He cried and shouted Xiaocui, and everyone was puzzled, and soon someone whispered: "Our prefect's wife, what about the girl's name, this Xiaocui in the mouth of the fourth man, should it be ......?"
"Xiaocui, Lao Tzu has raised you for so many years, and it's time for you to repay your kindness!" Qian Laosi was beaten and screamed like a pig killing Xiaocui.
The crowd became more and more talkative.
The prefect's wife's father ate meat and didn't give money, stripped off his clothes, and was tied to a willow tree and whipped...... These words spread ten times to hundreds, and soon spread all over the banks of the Qiantang River.
Dian Cui, who was visiting on the river, didn't know it, and when she got to the shore, she was greeted by the strange eyes of the people.
Qiuyue and a few of them immediately went to inquire, and it didn't matter if they inquired, they almost turned their backs angrily.
When Dian Cui heard about this, he frowned deeply, the Qian Laosi family really came to Hangzhou Mansion.
"Go check it out, but it's a good thing that Qin Qingqing did?" Dian Cui ordered coldly, and did not avoid Yuan Zhiheng, who was walking with her, and put his suspicions about Qin Qingqing on the face of such a loud voice.
Yuan Zhiheng's expression was serious, and at this time, the face of his wife was also the face of his dignified prefect. If the fourth Qian is allowed to make trouble, it will be difficult for Diancui to gain a foothold in this Hangzhou Mansion, and even the prestige he has easily established among the people and the clan will be shaken.
"Madam, let's go back first." Qiu Yue suggested softly.
"No, I'm going to go over and see what he's going to do!" Diancui said coldly.
Qiuyue and Dongxue looked at each other and sighed, although Mrs. was forced to live in that poor country for some years when she was a child, she did not have such a country woman's pungent and unstingy ability in this temperament. Dealing with the kind of old scoundrels who can't be reasoned and knows how to play Lai Sapo, even a few of them feel powerless, let alone a mild-mannered lady?
"Don't go first, I'll take a look," Yuan Zhiheng thought the same, he didn't know how many catties and taels his wife had, if he went to be angry with that evil old man, or remembered the miserable past, wouldn't he feel distressed?
Diancui also gave up when he heard this, and was helped into the carriage by Qiuyue, and did not forget to tell his father-in-law: "That Qian Lao Si is very difficult, ignorant and unreasonable, but he is a master who eats soft and is afraid of hard, if he dares to make a mistake, Xianggong just arrests him and goes to prison, and he will be honest." ”
Yuan Zhiheng was amused by her, and this gave him a trick, stroked the sideburns on her forehead, and said don't worry.
"The prefect has arrived!"
The arrival of Yuan Zhiheng and his entourage, who had an official face, made everyone immediately get out of the way.
"Meet the prefect," Yuan Zhiheng stood still, everyone worshipped, Zhang Yuanwai took the whip in his hand but stepped forward to greet him with a happy smile.
"Come on," Yuan Zhiheng adhered to his usual vigorous and resolute behavior, and did not talk nonsense with anyone at all: "This official heard that there are people gathering here to gamble, and they will take down the relevant people and send them to prison." ”
Before the smile on Zhang Yuanwai's face could be collected, he was tied up by the officials, and immediately shouted in disbelief, "What does this mean?" These people owe a certain amount of money to someone, and as a bitter advocate, they still want to rely on the adult to uphold justice, why did the adult come up and tie him down, is it intentional to favor some people?
"Clever words!" Yuan Zhiheng snorted coldly and said sharply: "Palm!" ”
The left and right officials were strong and strong, walked in front of Zhang Yuanwai, and raised the slap full of knife calluses with a blank face, "pop, pop" and fan Zhang Yuanwai's fine-skinned and tender/fleshy face.
Several teeth fell out at once.
Zhang Yuanwai didn't dare to say a word after being beaten, and there were still people in the crowd who secretly applauded in their hearts. Their prefect is different from those timid parents and officials in the past, and they will always be retributed for doing too much of the evil things of killing people and overselling goods. This time, he dared to be unpretentious in front of adults, it was simply looking for death.
Some people applauded, and some people beat the drum in their hearts, the prefect dealt with Zhang Yuanwai so quickly, is it really to favor the fourth Qian.
