Gu Xiaoer quickly brought the dishes, a large plate of dried tea, a plate of pig's trotters, a pot of braised soybeans, and a plate of fried oily leeks.

"Yang Hanlin, Fang Gongzi, when you come to this Tongling, you will listen to my old money when you eat and drink, you must be right. Qian Ruowang asked Gu Xiaoer to bring three small bowls, and he sandwiched a whole pig's trotter in one bowl.

This trotter is made of the front leg of the pig, which is cut three times vertically, and then boiled whole in brine. At this moment, it has been cooked thoroughly, and with a light flip, the flesh and bones are separated, and the hot aroma rushes out from inside.

"The two of you use it slowly, and I will eat the old money first. In front of eating, Qian Ruowang did not act like a professor in a mansion at all, but like an ordinary ordinary citizen in the market, he quickly picked up a pig's trotter and chewed it.

Because the skin and meat are stewed thoroughly, just a gentle inhalation, it will occupy your mouth full, this most primitive satisfaction, is irreplaceable by any delicate food.

Qian Ruowang only ate his hands and face were full of juice, and Yang Shen was still a little unable to let go, but seeing him eating, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then picked up the pig's trotters with chopsticks and bit them up.

He only took the first bite, and his eyes lit up, he had never seen any food. Back then, he even ate the grace banquet in the palace, and the dishes were exquisite. But eating this pig's trotter today, it seems that the taste is not inferior.

"Yang Hanlin, your eating appearance is still too elegant, you should learn from my old money and eat with your hands. This is the food of the small people in the market, and you have to use the way of eating the small people in the market. Qian Ruowang looked at Yang Shen's appearance, and immediately reminded him.

Yang Shen's brows furrowed, and he didn't pay much attention to Qian Ruowang. Eating should be chewed and swallowed slowly, this is a habit he developed when he was a child, let him suddenly change the way of eating, he can't adapt to it at all.

However, after Fang Hong heard about it, he immediately put down his chopsticks, grabbed the pig's trotters with one hand, and gently pulled them, and the pig's trotters were torn off a large piece of meat.

Qian Ruowang glanced at Fang Hong, and his mouth grinned even wider.

"The two of you will try this dried tea and leeks again, this season, it has passed the best time to eat leeks, and when the spring comes, it will be called a fresh water spirit." After eating the pig's trotters, Qian Ruowang began to encourage the two of them to eat some other dishes.

This dried tea is boiled, sprinkled with a layer of sesame oil, chewed in the mouth, the tendons are elastic, the fragrance is fragrant, the taste of the first food is very light, but it can withstand chewing very much, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. Compared with the somewhat greasy pig's trotters, Yang Shen prefers this dried tea.

The leeks are stir-fried in lard, and they are quickly put into and out of the pot, and what they eat is that freshness. Because of the meat oil, this dish is not bland, but can arouse people's appetite and increase your appetite more than meat dishes.

The three of them ate heartily, and even the most reserved Yang Shen had a swollen stomach after eating. After eating a few dishes, the store sent a large pot of high-foam tea, and a bowl of food and drink was really quenching your thirst.

"The things in this store are so delicious, it should be a good business, why is it so deserted?" Yang Shen said with some doubts after he was full, after taking a few sips of tea.

The location of this shop is also good, although it is not the best place, but the place is also open, and business should not be so bleak.

"This son, don't you know anything......" Gu Xiaoer showed a wry smile on his face, and was about to complain to a few people, but at this time, a few men in coarse cloth clothes directly pushed the door and walked in.

"Gu Xiaoer, this month's offering should be handed over, otherwise the shopkeeper will be unhappy. "Those men are all sturdy, and above their shoulders, they are embroidered with three colored threads, which are red, blue and white.

"This is handed over, this is handed over. Gu Xiaoer nodded and beckoned a few people in, then entered the inner room, took out more than a hundred copper coins from it, and respectfully stuffed them into the hands of a man.

"Hey, it's still your kid who knows each other, okay, let's go. The man gently swept the copper coin, smiled, and then turned around and left with the rest of the people.

"Look, with these people here, where do we want to do business? Several streets here have been occupied by them. I had to pay 150 yuan every month, and many businesses were forced by them to close their doors and leave. I'm the only one who is still holding on, and if it goes on like this, I'll have to close it. Gu Xiaoer watched the few people walk away, closed the door, and said to Fang Hong and the others.

"Who are these people, and the government doesn't care?" Yang Shen's face was a little displeased, he was a noble son from a wealthy family, where had he encountered such a thing, and he was very angry in his heart.

"Those people are from the Sanyang Sect, and in recent days, a bunch of messy sects have come from other places, in addition to the Sanyang Sect, there are also Hongyang Sect, Wenxiang Sect, Luo Daoist Sect and so on. These sects have divided the streets of Tongling, and our street belongs to the scope of the Sanyang Sect. Gu Xiaoer lowered his voice a little bit and said in a low voice.

"As for the government, the government is not easy to manage, these people are all missionaries, and many people in the city believe in these sects, if you dare to intervene, they will make trouble. A few days ago, the Sanyang Sect forced Lao Zhang from the cake shop next door to pay the money, but Lao Zhang couldn't hand it over, so he was beaten. That Lao Zhang was a fierce man, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he committed suicide. Later, the government also wanted to trouble the Sanyang Sect, but the Sanyang Sect was protected by those people, and the government couldn't arrest people at all. "This Sanyang Sect is very popular among the coolies at the bottom, because their lives are already very miserable, and joining the Sanyang Sect can give him a chance to turn over. However, for the wealthy and merchants in the city, it is impossible to avoid it.

Because if the Sanyang Sect wants to develop, it must win over a group of people, and when it comes to wooing this group of people, it is bound to give them benefits. Where does this benefit come from? Naturally, it comes from the original vested interests. Those who live a good life are naturally not very welcome to the Sanyang Sect.

Especially in a class like Gu Xiaoer, they are less than the top and more than the bottom. The Sanyang Sect would not win over them, and their strength was not strong enough to make the Sanyang Sect jealous, so they naturally became the target of exploitation by the Sanyang Sect.

Sects like this are a long-standing and difficult problem for any era, just like the moss on people's bodies, which is always difficult to clean, even if they are suppressed by the imperial court, after some time, they can reappear, and then sweep the world at a suitable time.
