Lu Muqing knew that the water bladders, water bags, and water wheels used by the Bujun Division to extinguish fires were all provided by the Chang'an Water Shop. He pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the Bu Jun Si spent three cents per barrel of water from the Chang'an Water Shop, and you can also sell it to the Bu Jun Si by yourself, so why do you have to sell it to the Chang'an Water Shop?" ”

The owner still has a smile on his face, and he does not suffer from being exploited, he said: "Chang'an Water Shop is a shop under General Mei, which is dedicated to the infantry division. We little people, can the official master let us get oil and water? ”

Lu Muqing's fingertips tapped on the tabletop, he walked between fire and water for many years, the wounds on his hands were raging, the dry skin was red in the white, and the gratuitous end could make people feel awe. He was silent for a moment, took out a penny from his arms and put it down, and the proprietor hurriedly came over and stuffed the penny back, "You guys are going back and forth on the street, working very hard, how can I collect your money again." Usually they don't charge money when they come, the last time Granny Cao's meatloaf shop caught fire, thanks to you for coming in time, otherwise it would burn to me, and the shop would be gone, how can I be embarrassed to accept your money? ”

Jia Chongjiu said with a smile: "Count you on your kindness." As he spoke, wanting to take the money back in his hand, Lu Muqing glanced at him coldly, with a cold face, and said nothing. Jia Chongjiu gritted his teeth, retracted his hand, and said impatiently to the owner: "If you want to take it, you will take it, there is so much nonsense!" ”

Coming out of the water shop, Lu Muqing silently counted the water shops all the way outside the Suzaku Gate, and there were more than ten of them. He remembered the fire in the Jixian Hall that day, and it was precisely because of the lack of water that the temple was destroyed and people died, and his heart became more and more unhappy.

For the first time, he took the initiative to find Xia Ronghe.

Xia Rong and Naibu are both in command, so naturally there is no need to be on duty at night. At this night, after finishing the military affairs, he was about to ask a few generals in the army to go to the Orihua Pavilion to have a drink, and he was taken aback when he saw Lu Muqing coming to him.

Lu Muqing said: "The Bu Military Division buys water from Chang'an Water Shop, how much silver does it cost the treasury every year?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Xia Ronghe understood what he meant. Xia Ronghe remained silent, took off his soft armor, and put on a silk robe made in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the blue color lined him like a professor in the country. He had an extra folding fan in his hand, and gently pounced on his chest, he seemed to ignore Lu Muqing at all, and said lightly: "Don't worry about what you shouldn't care." In the past, you were the deputy commander of the capital, and you didn't bother with the silver taels, but now you are just a fire detective, and you came over to question me? If you look back and think about it, every time you go to the water shop with silver and two in the division, do you need your official seal? The tip of his nose shrugged slightly, and mocked: "I did a good job before, don't get into trouble." ”

Several generals came over, all dressed in gorgeous costumes, and shouted for Xia Ronghe to go out. They used to be Lu Muqing's subordinates, and they were a little embarrassed to see that Lu Muqing was also there.

After all, they had never dared to drink on a day other than a day off.

This is Lu Muqing's rule.

Salted green plums are very easy to make, but you can't eat them until the first half of the year. Le Yi washed and dried the large, undamaged plums, packed them in ceramic jars, sprinkled a thick layer of salt into them, sealed them and put them under the eaves of the window to bask in the sun. The black cat has a new station, squatting on the jar and stretching its neck to watch the sunset.

There were more than ten green plum jars left that couldn't be filled, Le Yi was reluctant to throw them away, it was too sour and couldn't eat them, so she went to the kitchen and asked for half a bottle of liquor for stir-frying, threw the green plums into the bottle, and stored them under the bed.
