Chapter 11 The Debtor Comes
Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, were introduced to the Ming Dynasty in Luzon (present-day Philippines) at the end of the 16th century. Sweet potatoes have the effect of "replenishing deficiency, invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and strengthening kidney yin", making people "live long and reduce diseases". It can also replenish the middle, and blood, warm the stomach, fatten the five organs, etc., which are recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica.
What's more, in this era of extremely low grain production, sweet potatoes can allow the majority of people to eat one more meal.
I don't have the ability to invent, I can engage in planting and introduction. Don't seek wealth and nobility, at least you can have food and clothing in this life.
Chen Yuan hurriedly settled the account and caught a glimpse of the pair of grandchildren on a sedan chair, either rich or expensive.
I think it is, at this time, sweet potatoes have not been planted in Daming, I don't know how to plant, Zheng He went to the West, there is no reason not to know this crop, maybe I just think it's fresh, bring a few to my friends to try it.
At this time, the street was full of people, and the sedan chair soon disappeared.
My sweet potato dream, Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed it through the bustling crowd.
It took a few streets to catch up with the sedan chair, but it was difficult again.
The sedan chair was carried by four men in Tsing Yi, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to enter another street.
Did you rush up and say, "Grandma, give me a few sweet potatoes?"
Or: Grandma, I see that you are rich and powerful, kind and kind, healthy and long-lived. Coaxed her old man to be happy and rewarded me with a few sweet potatoes.
Think about it again, the sedan chair will be gone, my sweet potato dream, my sweet potato empire. Chen Yuan's heart was horizontal, he decided to fight, he decided to fight, and he became a big thing without informality, and I lied to it.
Touch the porcelain, hum, whoever touches who knows.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, Chen Yuan took a vertical step and fell in front of the sedan chair.
Several big men hurriedly stopped the sedan chair.
Chen Yuan saw that they were not in a hurry, and it seemed that they were all people who had experienced many accidents.
He closed his eyes, danced with his hands, and cried out in pain.
"Ouch, ouch, you hit me, you killed me, ouch, my legs, my waist, ouch, broken ribs, compensation, you compensation, medical expenses, mental damages, placement expenses, nothing less."
A few strong men were stunned, they had seen those who shouted and beaten, those who shouted and killed, and they had never seen scholars fall to the ground and play tricks.
One, two, three, the old man is soft-hearted, it's easy to do when he comes out, first make the matter more serious, and then just a few sweet potatoes, perfect.
"Ouch, grandma, don't you remember me, your old man still remembers the summer ...... on the shore of Daming Lake On that rainy day, I saw that your old man also gave begging for food, ouch, you can't let your evil servants hurt people in the street and ignore them. ”
Chen Yuan wondered while crying, why didn't he come out yet, and cried even harder.
"Wow" finally heard the sound of the curtain, and Chen Yuan was secretly happy.
"Grandma, I didn't expect you to be kind and kind-eyed, but also to ignore people's lives and harm the people, milk...... Uh, grandma......" Chen Yuan opened one eye and almost bit his tongue.
I saw a beautiful figure standing in front of me, dressed in white and white, with a long skirt and a low hair. It's like a hollow valley orchid, in this noisy world, there is no room for anything.
Chen Yuan has never seen such a peerless beauty, he just wants to find a crack in the ground to get into, what about the good old grandmother, what about the sweet potatoes that he said, the sedan chair is right.
In fact, many of the nobles' sedan chairs are the same, Chen Yuan did admit his mistake, but he didn't see it.
The people around gathered over, pointing and pointing, a shabby scholar, scolding the head of a peerless beauty, and calling people for a long time Grandma, many teenagers with a sense of justice were indignant, if it weren't for those big Han pestles there, they really wanted to come forward to play a hero to save the beauty.
The girl in white was fifteen or sixteen years old, and said softly: "Childe, but what difficulties have you encountered?" "The pearl is round and jade, like the sound of heaven.
Chen Yuan ran up and said, "That's the case, I just saw a familiar grandmother enter the sedan chair and want to get to know him." ”
Seeing that the girl seemed to be smiling and not being deceived, Chen Yuan had no choice but to say honestly: "Okay, I just saw that old man eating something called sweet potatoes, and I wanted to ask for a few, so I made this decision, but I didn't expect it...... Uh, girl, do you believe it? Well, I don't believe it myself, but that's just the way it is. ”
The girl in white was stunned, he didn't know the sweet potato, but the young man in front of him deceived himself again, but it didn't look like his eyes, but fortunately, she was well-nourished, and she was not angry, but said softly: "Childe, is there anything else?" ”
"No, no." Chen Yuan's face turned red, he waved his hand again and again, and slipped into the crowd as if flying, calling others grandma for a long time, and this time there was a big misunderstanding.
The girl in white didn't let anyone chase after her, and got into the sedan chair elegantly.
The people around were embarrassed.
"Tsk, this can't be a fairy in the sky."
"No, that's a thousand times more beautiful than the kiln sister of Miaoyulou, no, ten thousand times."
"Phew, what are you like, Sister Yao can compare this fairy, I'm going to kill you."
"Ah, brother Tai spare his life, my mouth is cheap, my mouth is cheap."
"However, this beautiful fairy has never been seen before, which girl's daughter is it."
"I've decided, I'm going to let my dad go to her house to propose."
"Zimo, don't think about it, this girl's family, it scares you to death when she says it."
"Shaoyou, don't you know?"
The man named Shaoyou smiled mysteriously, and a group of people surrounded him, asking questions non-stop.
Shaoyou shook his fan and muttered: "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
After a misunderstanding, Chen Yuan felt that Xuanwu District was not easy to stay, so he walked back to his rented place in Jiangning.
"Hey, Chen Tongsheng, you are back, my son can wait for you for a long time."
As soon as Chen Yuan entered the courtyard, even though there was an annoying voice, he looked at it, but saw that four people were walking towards him, and the speaker was the one in the middle, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a square face, a blue shirt dressed casually, rolled up his sleeves, and followed by three families in green clothes and small hats.
Chen Yuan's mind was running quickly, this guy was called on the first floor of Yangzhou, isn't it the second son of Li who likes cockfighting, although this thing is not evil, but it is definitely not a good person, and there will be no good thing when he comes to the door.
There was no direct contact that day, Chen Yuan said quietly: "It turned out to be the second son of Li, what bothered you to come to the door in person?" ”
"Hey, stop, Lao Tzu hates others to call me the second son the most." Li Ergongzi was very dissatisfied.
Oh, it looks like you're scared of two, too. Judging from his behavior in the restaurant, this goods coveted Dong Mingyan, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It turned out to be Li Gongzi, I don't know what advice I have when I come to the cold house." ”
Li Ergongzi stuck the fan in his collar, took out a blank piece of paper from his arms, and said impatiently: "Don't give me sloppy eyes and pay back the money." ”
"Yes, pay back!" Several family members relied on the momentum of the young master, pointing fingers, and the appearance of dogs was vividly expressed.
Chen Yuan was stunned at first, Mo's previous self borrowed money like him, it didn't make sense. However, I just crossed over, and I really didn't know what was going on, so I had to smile and say: "Li Gongzi, I fell into evil a few days ago and forgot a lot of things, can you show me the IOU." ”
Li Gongzi heard him say that he was evil, his eyes were happy, and he coughed: "I'll tell you, don't play any tricks, this son has the means to get you." ”
"Yes, yes, Childe is smart and resourceful, how dare he play tricks."
Li Gongzi snorted, stretched out his right hand, and showed Chen Yuan the constraints.
Chen Yuan glanced at it, and saw that it was written: Chen Yuan of Jiangning Zhangzhuang borrowed five hundred taels from Li Bin, with three thirds of interest, and paid it off within three months.
Five hundred taels, Chen Yuan smacked his tongue, and it was not worth so much to sell himself now.
I only borrowed for three months, and today it seems to be June 22, and the IOU is due.
For example, borrowing fifty yuan, one month later, it will become sixty-seven yuan, two months will become eighty-nine yuan, and three months later, it will be one hundred and eighteen yuan, which is more than doubled, very perverted.
Five hundred taels, or usury. Chen Yuan just wanted to say one word, damn!
