Chapter 43: The Third Brother

In the alley next to Guo's grain shop in Dongguo, Jingshi, a thin man with a straw in his mouth sat bored.

His eyes seemed to be staring at the stall of the imperial braised pork, but his eyes never left the grain shop of the Dongguo family.

At this time, many people with grain bags had gathered at the door of the grain store, and they were all looking at the grain shop with only one door panel, and their expressions were a little anxious.

"Why is it so slow for Dongguo to get some food!"

"Yes, we've been waiting for so long, and if we don't come out, we won't be able to eat this meal."

"Hurry up and open the door!"

……

Dong Guo Sheng's face inside the door seemed to be a little bruised, and it was impossible to see it in the dim light.

Dong Guo Ziyu was naturally also accompanying his father in the store, and when he saw this situation, his voice was a little nervous and asked, "Dad, what should we do?" Is it still open? Still is? ”

Dong Guo Sheng didn't speak, took out a cigarette gun from his pocket, filled it with tobacco, took a hard puff, and then coughed in a pit choking on the smell.

"Daddy! If you don't know how to smoke, don't smoke! Dong Guo Ziyu said that he was about to snatch his father's cigarette pouch, but Dong Guo Sheng avoided it, and instead took another puff.

"Daddy! Otherwise, let's just do a small business, don't get involved in this kind of thing, I'll go and tell the neighbors outside, and say that the food at home has been sold out. ”

Dong Guo Sheng, who was originally indifferent, heard it, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab his son and said: "The neighbors are pointing to our family's inventory to live, you say this, how do you let the big guys live?" How to eat in the future? ”

"But look at your face, my mother will have to go back to my grandmother's house, if she sees you like this.

Hey, anyway, I don't think we should worry about this. Dong Guo Ziyu turned his face away and said with his neck stalked.

"You are still a reader of the sages, how can you say such things?

Our family's stock of grain is not much, you go and tell the neighbors that in order to ensure that the neighbors can eat, each family can only buy three catties of grain a day in the future, and it is not good to have more. ”

Dong Guo Sheng finally came up with an idea, but he was afraid that some people would not be able to eat after the neighbors hoarded goods. And not for this little wound on the face.

"What else to see? Don't hurry up and open the door to welcome guests! Dong Guo Sheng said and waved his hand again, "Forget it, don't open the door, I'm afraid that someone will make trouble and squeeze in again, so let's make do with it." ”

Dong Guo Sheng said that he had already gotten up, looked at his son who had not yet moved, touched his head, threw the cigarette pouch in his hand, and fell to the ground with sparks splashing.

"Let's go, Dad won't smoke it after listening to you, don't say it, this thing is really hard to smoke." Dong Guo Sheng said with disgust on his face.

When Dong Guo Ziyu heard this, the expression on his face loosened, and he showed a smile, but he still pretended to be stubborn and said, "Then what are you going to do if you are beaten again."

Do? ”

"Then let's report to the official, I don't believe that there is no royal law!" Dong Guo Sheng said as he came to the front of the store, and the neighbors outside shouted loudly.

"Old Dongguo, why is it so late today? If you don't come out again, the fire in your house will be extinguished, and you will come to your house for dinner! ”

Dong Guosheng also answered with a smile on his face and said: "It's not a delay in moving goods, I have no opinion if you want to come to the house for dinner, the food is full."

Bring wine and meat to wait at any time, or you won't be accepted!

Ziyu, you bring me that scale. ”

"I'm just asking you for a few mouthfuls of food, you actually stared at the wine and meat, you really bought it and didn't sell it, don't say anything else, hurry up and weigh me a bag of rice!"

Dong Guo Sheng waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, in the future, each family can only sell three catties a day, is there more."

The big guys are all decades old neighbors, and they can't be hungry if they have food, right? ”

When the crowd heard this, they began to cheer and applaud: "Good! Guys, awesome! ”

"I have a lot of family, and I don't want to run every day, Lao Dongguo, you can sell me more!"

didn't wait for Dong Guo Sheng to speak, the people behind him didn't agree, especially the aunts who were known for their pungency, screaming one by one, eager to run up and point at the person's nose and scold.

"Hey, I said Lao Zhang, you have a lot of family, and whoever has a family is less! Who can't eat! If you buy too much, we won't have anything to eat! ”

"That's it! If you have this kung fu grinding here, why don't you hurry home and find your mother-in-law to make people. You see that your brothers are all five or six, and you are the boss, and you only have one daughter! Let's get down to business! ”

"Maybe I was forced by the Zhang family's lady, so I came out to buy food to hide from things!"

As soon as these words came out, the old man's face instantly turned red, took his three catties of grain, turned around and ran.

"Hey! You haven't paid yet! Behind him, the aunt who was the first to tease shouted.

"Lao Liu's family, as far as you say, please give it for me first! I'll send you to your house when I get home, and learn from your man by the way. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter, and the old Liu family took a sip and said, "Phew! You stinky shameless! ”

Dong Guo Sheng quickly weighed out three catties of grain and said, "It's okay, he still has to come tomorrow, he can't escape this account!" ”

Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family directly stuffed two copper coins into the door, and said indifferently: "Hey, he said it, he will definitely pay it back to me later, and then let him run around."

You don't care, it's okay, let Ziyu find our kid to play, and let him learn his homework with Ziyu.

This kid just doesn't get the hang of it.,I don't know when I go home from private school all day long.,I don't even do my schoolwork.,Left.。

Although the price of food has increased several times, there are always some people who are unwilling to make money without conscience.

For example, the small grain shops of the Dongguo family are almost everywhere, maintaining the most basic survival needs of the people of Beijing.

The man with the straw in his mouth came to the stall of the imperial braised pork, bought a pig's face and went back, gnawed while walking, and after turning around, he came to a courtyard on Damingmen Street.

Just after eating the pig face in his hand, the man burped, and he didn't need to pass it on, and went straight into the luxurious courtyard, and the people along the way stopped and shouted the third brother when they saw the man.

After a short time, the man came to the backyard of the house, and the door in front of him was closed, and no one seemed to be there.

The man changed his appearance, stretched out his hand and wiped his clothes on his mouth, and then stood respectfully in front of the door and gently knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock"

After three knocks on the door, the room was still quiet, but the man never changed his movements, as if believing that there must be someone in the house.

After waiting for a stick of incense, a voice finally came from the door: "Come in." ”

The third brother pushed the door in, only to see a slightly fat middle-aged man, with a smiling face and a deep dimple on the right side of his face.

He lived in this house, but he was dressed in coarse cloth, and he held two walnuts in his hand and turned them gently.

"Liu San, how's it going?" The man asked.

Liu San hurriedly said: "I just dared to open the door after teaching that person, I will take my brother to burn their house tonight, see how he still sells!" ”

The man didn't answer, and continued to play with the walnuts, the occasional clicking and rubbing sound in the room.

"Now that the government is keeping an eye on it, forget it, you just find some people to line up together tomorrow and buy their food.

Remember, you are not a thief, we are businessmen, and we dare not break the law. ”

Liu San didn't dare to disagree, nodded again and again, and said that the old man was clever, and after a while, Liu San walked out of the mansion, and the word Guan on the plaque behind him was very conspicuous.

"Find more people, a family can buy up to three catties of food a day, so how many people do you have to find."

I think the master is still too cautious, so many adults in the DPRK and China are involved, and the lives of a mere family can not be suppressed?

It's still the young master, but he was sent to his hometown, or he has to be cool with the young master once......"

Liu San chattered as soon as he left, and he didn't pay attention to the situation around him, and when he looked up, he was already blocked in the alley.

"What are you going to do!" Liu San touched his chest vigilantly.

"Third brother, why are you here!"

Hearing this, Liu San thought that a helper had come, so he turned his head to look back, but saw a grinning man.
