Chapter 30: Erhu and Meng Yao

Erhu stretched out a finger, and seeing that Wang Miao still didn't quite understand, he looked around and explained to him,

"Brother Wang! This Nanjiang restaurant is opened by our Ducha Yuan, and the waiters in it can only come in if they have a little relationship, and their wages are relatively high compared to Nanjiang County, do you know how much they cost a month? Fifty silver dollars! You must know that ordinary people here earn twenty or thirty silver dollars a month. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"To tell the truth, it's still cheap to sell a hundred silver dollars, these things are simply priceless, who has no choice but to eat them beautifully, and sell them?

After listening to him, Wang Miao probably understood the value of this bucket of seafood, nodded and asked him, "Rare things are expensive, so is this place far from the sea?

"If you want to say a straight distance, it's not very far. Linhai County in the east, to Nanjiang County, the southernmost county, is about six or seven hundred miles! The problem is that there is no road between the two county seats, so how can we get here?

Seeing that Wang Miao was interested, Erhu closed the wooden barrel, clapped his hands, looked at Wang Miao and said,

"After the seafood in Linhai County is caught, it is immediately frozen, and immediately run more than 500 miles with a fast horse, first to Luo Tiancheng, Luo Tiancheng's people divide most of it, and then, a small part of the remaining part is divided into twelve points, and then sent to the other twelve county seats, our Nanjiang River is in the southernmost part of Luo Tiancheng, and there are five or six hundred miles apart, you calculate, how far do these things have to go from Linhai to us?"

"The distance is more than 1,000 miles, and the whole journey is a fast horse! That's it, it will take almost a month to get to Nanjiang, and it will take even longer if there is an accident. As soon as these few poor seafood arrived here, you also saw the situation today, they were all crazy robbing, and there were a number of brothers who didn't come on an errand outside, even if they were unlucky, they couldn't catch up! But the same wolf has more meat and less meat! Now you can understand, right?"

Wang Miao nodded, in the past few days, he already knew the sphere of influence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate he was in, the main city was Luo Tiancheng, and there were twelve county towns around it, and Nanjiang County, where he was located, was one of them, of course, there were some territories controlled by other forces, Erhu did not elaborate, only said that he would slowly make it clear after he took office, so he asked again: "According to what you say, isn't it difficult for ordinary people to eat?"

Erhu picked up the teapot and poured tea for Liu Ma and Wang Miao.

"It's not that it's difficult, it's that you can't eat it at all! We are a special case, it's different, some people have thought about selling, but the cost is not ordinarily large, ordinary people can't afford it, and those who have money and power naturally have a way to eat. ”

Wang Miao began to be silent after hearing this, and only said in a half-loud voice, "Erhu, do I have a part in this? ”

"What are you talking about?!It's not your face, it's still a question of whether you can eat today! You say, what's the matter?"

"Aren't you patrolling around Shangliang Village? I wonder if you can give my share to Uncle Gu when you are on duty next time, I guess they haven't eaten seafood since they came here, I want to give them some and thank them for their help to me." ”

"This ......" Erhu frowned, and thought about it again before saying,

"We are all brothers, don't talk about yours and mine, since you opened your mouth, then these few hairtail fish will be given to them, I will store them in the restaurant first, they have a cellar here, it is not a big problem to put it for a few days, and I will bring them over after I am on vacation." ”

Wang Miao hurriedly thanked, and the second tiger waved his hand, thinking that he would have saved two meals, but this time it was good, the four hairtail fish were gone!

Erhu shook his head, and just wanted to carry the barrel to the back kitchen to find someone, when he heard a string of silver bell-like laughter coming from far and near.

As soon as he heard this voice, Erhu hurriedly lowered his head, shrunk his broad body into a ball, and squeezed it desperately inside, and kept adjusting the angle, delusionally thinking that Mother Liu, who was sitting outside, could block him with her thin little body and prevent the owner of the laughter from seeing it.

Wang Miao saw a charming woman with long hair and a swinging skirt coming over from a distance.

It's still the waitress who entertained him and Erhu when he first came last time. I didn't look carefully in a hurry last time, but I will see it more clearly, the age is not too big, it may be about the same as Wang Miao, and the length is not bad, with apricot eyes, long eyebrows, melon seed face, but the fat powder on the body is a little heavier, and before I get to the front, the aroma spreads.

"Hey, I said Erhuzi, I didn't say anything to my sister when I came over, why? I haven't seen you for a few days, so I treat my sister as an outsider?"

"Where, Sister Mengyao, didn't I just come here, I'm chatting with this Brother Wang, I didn't see you, I'm sorry!" Erhu replied weakly, his eyes didn't dare to look at this sister, he kept looking around, and seemed to be very afraid.

"Oh...... I heard about you a few days ago, and they all said that you passed the test, so you should also take up a post in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future, congratulations, Brother Wang! We are all a family here, and you will have to come often in the future! If you have something, just look for me, I am the manager here, my name is Li Mengyao, so call me Mengyao. ”

That Sister Meng Yao seemed to have seen Wang Miao at this time, and turned her head to greet him with a smile.

Wang Miao hurriedly stood up, briefly introduced herself, and felt that she couldn't bear this Sister Meng Yao, so she coped with a few more words, didn't dare to say more, sat down and lowered her head and continued to drink tea.

Sister Meng Yao said hello to Mother Liu again, chatted a few words, rolled her eyes, saw the wooden barrel at the feet of the second tiger, and smiled,

"I said Erhuzi! I'm lucky today, I got the seafood, right? Why? I haven't figured out how to get it? Leave it to me! Sister will help you find Lao Zhangtou to make it for you. ”

After speaking, it doesn't matter if others agree or not, pick up the barrel and leave.

Erhu was in a hurry, and hurriedly followed, shouting in his mouth, "Hey, Sister Meng Yao, wait, don't do the hairtail fish inside, it's someone else's, you have to give it away!"

"Oh, Erhuzi, I've taken a fancy to that little girl, who do you want to give it to? Sister Meng Yao continued to walk without looking back.

"No, how can there be! this is Brother Wang'......" Erhu explained as he followed Sister Meng Yao's swaying figure to the back kitchen.

"Alas...... Why is Erhu unwilling?" Mama Liu looked at the backs of the two and sighed.

Wang Miao didn't answer, this was someone's private matter, he didn't understand, and it was not easy to answer.

Mother Liu didn't have those scruples, and said to herself, "This girl is also pitiful! Not long after getting married, her husband died in the line of duty." Her original husband was also a bad official, and if he married a bad official, ordinary people naturally looked down on her, and other bad officials thought she was a widow, and they also looked down on her, so it dragged on for a few years, and if it went on like this, it would be really bad to remarry!"

Wang Miao drank tea silently, hearing these stories about Sister Meng Yao in her ears, she didn't know what to say, but Mother Liu seemed to be interested, and quietly approached Wang Miao and whispered,

"I think this Meng Yao should have fallen in love with our second tiger! Otherwise, she wouldn't come over to say hello every time, but when these two tigers saw her, it was like a cat seeing a tiger, and she was so scared, Second Tiger? I think he met the big tiger, I asked the second tiger, what do you think of this Meng Yao, but I don't make it clear, hey...... , To say that this Mengyao girl is actually not bad, to have a good appearance, to have a figure, and her skills are not bad, she became a manager in a restaurant, but this character is really arrogant, and there are other officials who are willing to ask for her, but she is not a wife, she is a concubine, she just doesn't want to!

"But now there are not many single errand officials, and if there are a few, the matchmaker can't wait to come to the door every day, and it won't be finished if he doesn't step on the threshold of your house! You see, Grandma Wang from Dongjie came to me again yesterday! Broke her fingers and told me a dozen, hey, they are all good girls, but why don't these two tigers want to?"

Liu Ma was talking eloquently, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world, and she grabbed Wang Miao's sleeve and asked,

"Xiao Wang, didn't you just come here? You should be single! What's the matter, do you want Mother Liu to introduce you to a few?"

Wang Miao almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, thinking that why did she pull it on me as she spoke? Hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Mother Liu, don't do it yet! I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't recovered yet, how can I have the heart to fall in love? ”

Mother Liu was a little disappointed, sighed, and began to think in her mouth again,

"Alas...... , today's young people, all they think about is their careers, where do they know about this lifelong event......"
