Chapter 180: You can't forget your roots!
Steward Min quickly stopped his pen and ordered, "Close the door and speak slowly." ”
The young man hurriedly closed the door and whispered, "Shopkeeper, there is someone making trouble in front of Ankang Hall, saying that the medicinal materials sold by Ankang Hall are shoddy and have harmed people!" ”
Steward Min was surprised to hear this, but he was not too surprised.
When Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue came to give ginseng before, he saw that the two boys had bad faces, so he asked a few questions.
The two boys are smart, but they can't compare to him, an old fox, so they still ask a few words.
Although he didn't know too much, Ankang Tang cheated the Tai family's silver, forced to buy and sell, and he still guessed it.
The Tai family didn't want to cause trouble, so they admitted that they were at a loss.
He was unhappy, and in the past few days, people have been paying attention to Ankang Hall, thinking of finding an opportunity to make a stumbling block and vent his anger for the Tai family.
Who would have thought that An Kangtang would die by himself and make such a thing!
He thought for a moment and said, "Is the patient dead?" Can you alarm the government? ”
The young man nodded again and again, and his eyes were glowing when he talked about gossip.
"Shopkeeper, the person who took the fake medicine didn't die, but it didn't feel good. I heard that this person is the steward of the caravan who came to buy from the south, and there are some forces behind it. Occasionally, when I make an old mistake, I want to grab a few pairs of medicine, take a top, and then go back to my hometown for treatment.
As a result, Ankang Tang saw that the person who grabbed the medicine was from other places, so he mixed inferior medicinal materials with others, and there were even fake medicines!
"Now that the people have sued the government, the county Cheng personally took people to check the medicinal material warehouse of Ankang Hall! I heard that several boxes of counterfeit drugs were found, and Ankang Hall must be finished! ”
Steward Min was also happy to hear it, and sneered, "That old guy in Ankang Hall is on an errand in the yamen with his son-in-law, and he has been holding his tail proudly on weekdays. Now it's really kicked to the iron plate, and the son-in-law is useless! ”
So saying, he took out a piece of silver from his purse and gave it to the young man, and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, but go about your work." ”
"Yes, shopkeeper!" The young man was so happy, this piece of broken silver topped his salary for a month, and he watched a big scene in vain!
In Taijia Village, the Tai family didn't know that Ankang Tang was unlucky.
Old Man Tai was holding his fat granddaughter in his hand, accompanied by Tai Sanye, and was walking in the field.
Looking at the green seedlings that had just emerged from the ground, the old brothers were happy to close their mouths.
After several years of famine, I finally look forward to a bumper harvest year!
"Third brother, this bud rice is really not much different from sorghum, it seems to be easier to serve. After a while, looking at the replenishment seedlings, you will definitely be able to harvest a lot of bud rice sticks in the autumn! ”
Master Tai waved his hand according to the large fields, and the high-spirited monarch was no less than facing the great country!
Tai Sanye nodded again and again when he heard this, found a tree stump, sat down, and responded, "By then, our village will be developed, and it is estimated that every granary that can be exchanged for bud rice seeds will be full." ”
Zhuzhu was naughty, and when she saw a small white butterfly flying around, she picked up the small net bag she brought from home and ran to play.
The old man greeted, "Zhuzhu, don't run too far!" ”
"Got it, Grandpa!" Zhuzhu didn't turn his head back, and his eyes were full of small butterflies.
Old Man Tai untied the tobacco purse, refilled the pot for the old brother, and said, "Third brother, you also know that I came out of the border army, and no one knows the hardships of the border army better than me.
"In the autumn, I'm going to have people ask about these bud seeds if they are needed in the army...... I want to give half to the army. At least next year, the brothers in the army will not have to fight with the enemy hungry! ”
Tai Sanye nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, this matter is too deserved!" We can sit here and talk, and we can farm with peace of mind, but it is all the credit of the border army. We can't forget our roots! When the time comes, you just take care of Zhang Luo, and I'll talk about it here in the village! ”
"Thank you, third brother!" Old Man Tai still had to speak, but he didn't want Zhuzhu to run to the trench on the edge of the ground unconsciously.
Old Man Tai hurriedly got up and wanted to arrest his granddaughter back.
In spring, everything recovers, not only the plants and trees sprout and bloom, but many insects and snakes are also active.
The old man doesn't want his baby granddaughter to be scared!
However, before he could take a step, Zhuzhu ran back, hugged his grandfather's thigh, and whispered, "Grandpa, there's meat over there!" Pig pig, it's a wild boar! ”
Wild boar?!
Not to mention Old Man Tai, even Third Master Tai is like a spring under his buttocks, and he jumped up with a whoosh.
The two brothers glanced at each other, and the tacit understanding came instantly.
Tai Sanye raised his legs and ran, running to a few village men not far away.
Old Man Tai hugged his fat granddaughter, settled her on a half-human-high dead tree stump, and then pulled out the dagger hidden in his trouser leg and touched the edge of the trench.
Sure enough, a big wild boar with more than 200 catties and a small boar with more than 100 catties were arching the soil by the trench with their noses.
The peasants' love for the land is deep, and the love for the crops is even more greedy.
The people who planted the land even shoveled the weeds next to the trench and replanted a dozen buds.
And these two wild boars are turning over the land, looking for bud seeds, and eating fragrant food.
So much so that when someone took a dagger to the side, they didn't even notice it.
Old Man Tai was silently thinking in his heart, how to leave the two wild boars behind.
Of course, when he was young, with both arms there, it wasn't difficult at all.
But now that he is old and frail, and he only has a good arm, it is a problem that requires calculation to solve.
He looked at the fat granddaughter not far away, who was looking over this side with her neck stretched, and her fat little face was full of excitement and joy.
Don't let your granddaughter down!
The old man took a deep breath, and the dagger was thrown out directly, and it was slammed into the neck of the big boar.
The big wild boar was in pain, and rolled with a scream.
The little boar was frightened, and was about to run for a moment, but the old man jumped up and rode on its back, and his fist fell like raindrops.
"Whew!" The little wild boar screamed hard, and the big wild boar actually stood up with a dagger, and then rushed over to the old man.
The old man jumped off the back of the little wild boar and kicked it over, and the big wild boar fell to the ground in pain, which was even more ferocious.
At this time, the sesame ball came out of nowhere, and ran directly to the boar's neck and bit the boar's ear fiercely.
The big wild boar rolled around like crazy, but he couldn't shake off the sesame ball!
Finally, Tai Sanye and others arrived.
A few men originally planned to see the seedlings emerging in the field, wondering if they were carrying water to replant.
As a result, the work was not successful, and the flat pole and pickaxe came in handy.
The little wild boar didn't do anything, he was stunned by the old man, the big wild boar's neck was bleeding, and there was a sesame ball that didn't let go.
This big and small one didn't last long before they completely collapsed.
Tai Sanye's happy beard was raised, "Haha, this is really lucky, the pork is delivered to the door!" ”
