Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sky-high Tofu Brain!
"What's the big deal, be specific!" Liu Mo motioned to the other party to calm down.
The person who came didn't say a reason for a long time, but kept emphasizing, "Tofu, a thousand taels of gold!" ”
Liu Mo was confused when he heard this, "What a thing!" ”
"Liu Gongzi, you better go and see it for yourself!" Come humanely.
"Lead the way, lead the way!"
Having learned the lesson of the last time, Liu Mo brought Zhao Da with him this time.
Follow the people and come to the Banyan City Market.
Not far away, I saw Su Xiaowan and the accompanying maid arguing with a vendor selling tofu brains.
Su Xiaowan's maid crossed her waist and pointed at the boss and shouted, "You say it again, how much?" ”
"Seventeen days, a total of one hundred and three catties, or five thousand five hundred and seventy taels of silver!"
"The scale of sixteen taels, the weight of one hundred catties is one thousand six hundred and fifty-one taels, plus one twelve catties, one six gets six, two hundred and sixty and eighteen... How can it be five thousand five hundred and seventy taels? Su Xiaowan said in surprise.
"This young lady, alas." The vendor smiled, "You're counting the portions, I'm talking about silver taels!" ”
"Count the silver taels, then I have to find out the amount first, and then talk about the silver! Isn't it? Su Xiaowan asked.
"Isn't that clear? One hundred and thirteen catties of tofu, a total of five thousand five hundred and seventy taels of silver! ”
"What? How much, how much? Su Xiaowan almost couldn't believe her ears. Are you selling tofu brains, or are you selling live human brains? ”
"Girl, you're not right." The vendor laughed and said, "I call this tofu, it's called three-brain tofu." Each catty of tofu is three taels of live fish brains, three taels of duck brains, and three taels of monkey brains.
This fish is the osmanthus fish in the water during the peach blossom season. This duck is a red-faced duck from Ronghu Lake, and there are two kinds of monkeys, the first one is a big-eared macaque, and the other is a snow-capped mountain monkey.
This tofu brain is so precious, for every catty, you will be charged fifty-four taels, which is very cheap. ”
When the maid heard this, her face was full of anger: "Boss, that's it." Look at how many catties I have, you pick and choose by catty, sell me by catty, and see if you can top your tofu brain's money. ”
"Why do you talk like that?"
"And ask me how to speak? Five thousand five hundred seventy two... What kind of dragon and phoenix does Miss Ben eat! Even if it's our Rongcheng County master, he can't eat a few catties of tofu brain from you for a year! ”
The vendor grinned, "Miss, haven't you two already eaten?" Every day for 17 days in a row! ”
"Then can we spit it out to you?" The maid was so angry.
"Spit it out, then it's not a tofu brain!"
"Humph! Miss Ben told you, if you want money, if you want someone, I'll go with you. ”
"Hehe, do you want to pay the bill?" The vendor smiled fiercely, "I can tell you, if you dare to pay your debts today, report to the official!" ”
As he spoke, the vendor shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, someone, someone eats tofu brain and doesn't give money!" There is no one to care, and there is no Wang Fala in Rongcheng! Don't give money for eating, Lord Qingtian, make the decision for the villain! ”
When the onlookers saw this, they pointed their fingers at each other.
"This is a trick for Su Xiaowan..."Liu Mo thought to himself, "It's quite a thief!! ”
He glanced at Ambassador Zhao, who pushed through the crowd and squeezed out a path.
Walking through the crowd, he first bowed to Su Xiaowan and saluted: "Miss Su, you are polite here!" ”
"Liu Gongzi..."Su Xiaowan's body shook slightly, obviously a little excited, but soon she forced herself to be ruthless, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I heard you're in trouble!" Liu Mo replied.
"I don't need your help!" Su Xiaowan interrupted him, and then turned his head, "This boss, you said that your three-brain tofu is fifty-four taels of silver per catty?" ”
"That's right!"
"Then may I ask you, is there an official price for this price?"
"It's nature!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaowan frowned. "The little woman can't take out so many silver taels, can she be graced for a few days?"
"That's not possible, miss, you two have been in debt for more than ten days!" The vendor smiled hideously, "I'm doing this with a small business, and the cost of three-brain tofu is not low!" ”
"Hmph, miss, let's ignore him. This man understands that he is blackmailing us, and when he sees the official, he will see the official! Su Xiaowan's maid shouted angrily.
Liu Mo shook his head, the other party came clearly prepared, and when he saw the official, he lost the lawsuit one hundred percent!
"Snow goose, shut up!" Su Xiaowan reprimanded. "This boss, the little woman really can't take out so many silver taels, see if you can..."
"Hehe, since Miss said so, this matter is simple!" The vendor touched his beard, "As long as my shopkeeper agrees, this silver will be done if you don't give it!" ”
"Your shopkeeper? Dare to ask for your name? ”
"Haha, Miss Su, you must know!"
"Oh? Little Lady Acquaintance? ”
"Yes, it's Zhou Zhushan, Zhou Gongzi!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mo couldn't help but gasp, "Good guy, it's this birdman again!" What does he want to do? ”
Su Xiaowan's face turned pale, "Is it him?" What does Zhou Gongzi want? ”
"Hehe, Miss Su, don't you know what Gongzi Zhou wants?"
"No, I won't agree to die!" Su Xiaowan subconsciously took a few steps back.
She knew that the other party meant to let herself get rid of Zhou Zhushan...
"In that case, then don't blame me for not being emotional!"
The vendor's face sank, and he waved his hand, signaling his men to go to the Rongcheng County Ya to report to the official.
Su Xiaowan was shocked and anxious, as a woman in a Qinglou, her status was low, even if she was so blatantly blackmailed, no one around would be willing to help.
I don't know if it was out of instinct or how, she raised her head and looked at Liu Mo.
Women are always duplicitous, for the sake of the people she once helped me...
Thinking of this, Liu Mo stepped forward and said loudly: "Wait! ”
When the vendor saw that someone was the first bird, his face suddenly changed, "Who are you?" ”
"Where did you come from, you don't look like a native of Rongcheng!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Haha, I am fortunate to know Lord Wu of the county tax department, if someone does business in Rongcheng, but he is not registered with the official family..."
Hearing this, the vendor was a little panicked, so he said: "It's been a month since I came to Rongcheng, and I have been registered with the official family!" Who are you? ”
Good guy, Zhou Zhushan's guy is really vicious, and he put on a new face for Su Xiaowan.
"Your shopkeeper is Zhou Zhushan, right?" Liu Mo smiled coldly and did not answer his question, "This Miss Su owes you the money, and I will pay for her." ”
The vendor looked at Liu Mo carefully, "Oh? This son, a total of 5,570 taels of silver! ”
"I'm not deaf!" Liu Mosen said in a cold tone: "Zhao Da, bring the silver ticket!" ”
Although Zhao Da didn't know why, out of admiration for Liu Mo, he still presented the silver ticket.
Liu Mo took the silver ticket and handed it over, "My name is Liu Mo, the shopkeeper of 'Jingshui Pavilion'!" You go back and ask your shopkeeper, as long as he dares, just take it! ”
The vendor was shocked, "You are Liu Mo?" ”
"Exactly!"
The name seemed to have a special power that frightened the vendor's body.
"What? Don't dare? Liu Mo raised his voice.
Although he had only been in Rongcheng for a short time, the vendor had obviously heard of Liu Mo's name, and he panicked in his heart, and was so frightened by this voice that he took a few steps back.
However, at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Why don't you dare? ”
Ha, Zhou Zhushan, you miscellaneous hair is really on the scene! Liu Mo said secretly.
