On the banks of the Whitewater River.

The flower boats of Chunfeng Building, after hiding many big ships, have not been so conspicuous in recent days.

On the dock, there are a few more big ships, which are very eye-catching.

"Brother, do you think that's a merchant ship from Qingshan Yaxing?"

"yes, isn't it written?"

"But I seem to have seen a mechanic break open the bag that was being carried, and it was salt inside, right?"

"Salt?"

The short man sat under the banner of the little wine sign by the river, and his nerves tensed at the sound of salt.

These big ships seem to be carrying salt.

"So much salt?"

"What is Li Qingshan going to do? Smuggling salt? ”

"That's too arrogant, isn't it? This is near the capital, is the illegal salt so blatantly transported, and it doesn't avoid a little people? ”

"It seems that this Li Qingshan is indeed a local snake, you see that there is an official errand under the shed over there, and they don't even come forward to check when they see it!"

"Hehe, it must have been bought!"

A few secret guards rested on the riverside, under a small shack that sold wine, and had come to see the porridge shack.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered the Aoyama Trading Company, a merchant ship transporting salt.

"It shouldn't be so bold."

The short man said, "There should be a salt lead." ”

"Salt lead? But I've heard that there is no salt to sell near Gyeonggi. ”

There are regional restrictions.

If an area has been assigned to a certain salt merchant to operate, the imperial court will not put more than one salt merchant in this area.

The areas covered by salt merchants generally do not overlap.

The salt introduction near the capital has long been controlled by those imperial merchants, how can Li Qingshan get it.

"Report it, don't care, don't reveal your identity." The short man whispered.

"Hmm." The other two nodded in a deep voice.

"The purpose of my coming today is to see the porridge shed."

The short man said to one of them: "Sixth, you go and try it to see if you can really drink porridge." ”

The secret guard, who was called the sixth child, nodded, then got up and walked in the direction of the porridge shed.

Then, the two short men saw that the sixth child was detained by the government's messengers.

"Sixth!" The other is about to strike.

The short man snorted: "Don't be impulsive, we can't expose our kung fu, as long as the sixth is not in danger of life, don't come out." ”

"This ...... Good! The fifth gritted his teeth.

Then, the two looked at the sixth child and were put aside by the official.

Start playing the board!

"Shhh The short man and the fifth child are shocking to watch.

"Why was the sixth child beaten?" The fifth child was puzzled.

"It's just that in this case, he doesn't have to come out, he can take dozens of boards." The short man was relieved.

But the two didn't dare to pick up the sixth child, they didn't know what the situation was, for fear that they would also be arrested and beaten on the board.

I had to watch from afar, until the sixth child was beaten with twenty boards, and the official threw him to the side of the road, spit on him and left him alone.

The sixth gritted his teeth, dragged the butt that was almost cracked, and endured the pain and returned to the wine trick.

Along the way, he was pointed at by many passers-by.

The short man and the fifth child hurriedly pretended not to recognize him, and their eyes signaled him not to sit down.

The sixth was aggrieved, lying on the bench at the table next to him, baring his teeth and saying, "Made, it's careless!" ”

"How did you get beaten?" The short man said with concern.

But it's not that I care about the sixth child's injury, but that I care about the reason.

After all, as soon as I went to line up, I was arrested and beaten violently, and I couldn't figure it out.

The sixth smiled bitterly: "You cheat me!" The porridge shack is for the poor and the disaster victims, and ordinary people have to suffer twenty boards when they go to fight the autumn wind! ”

"The point is, I haven't eaten Lao Tzu's porridge either!"

"Poof!"

Lao Wu covered his mouth, but he didn't hide the laughter that spewed out of his mouth.

The short man couldn't help laughing, he glanced at the sixth child, who was dressed not at all like a disaster victim.

The sixth hated and said angrily: "Laugh at a fart!" I don't know how to remind Lao Tzu to change his clothes! ”

"You've changed your clothes, and you don't have such a difficult temperament." The short man smirked.

looked at the fifth child: "You change your clothes and bring me a bowl of porridge." ”

Lao Wu said cautiously: "I won't be beaten too, will I?" ”

The short man shook his head:

"You changed your clothes, your hair was messed up, and you put a little dust on it, don't look too much and look fake."

"Take a bowl yourself, it has to be a broken bowl with a gap, don't bring chopsticks, people who can't eat are not so fine."

After adding a few details, the short man sent the old five away.

The sixth child glared when he heard this: "Why didn't you remind me of this?!" ”

You're deliberately hurting me, aren't you?

The short man took a deep breath, then smiled helplessly: "I...... Unexpectedly. ”

Originally, I just went to see a porridge shack, and I wasn't doing some secret mission, so why put too much pressure on myself.

Just do it.

I didn't expect the sixth child to be a brainless, so he went directly, and he was directly caught.

You said you could do it faster?

"Why didn't you run away just now? Even if you don't show your kung fu, those officials won't be able to catch up with you, right? The short man asked curiously.

The sixth child was choked and said stupidly: "...... I didn't expect to be beaten, careless, no flash. ”

"After being put up, after realizing that something is wrong, I can't resist without revealing my martial arts...... I can only suffer this one. ”

"Hahaha!" The short man gloated and laughed heartily.

It's better to be old brothers, not like the stupid one who only grew tall before.

The two scolded each other a few more words, the sixth child's buttocks didn't hurt anymore, and the fifth child also came back with a bowl.

"Where are the beggars, stay away, don't affect my business!"

The owner of this stall, when he saw the fifth child coming, hurriedly chased after him, for fear of affecting the guests on the side of his stall.

Seeing this, the short man could only help the sixth man up, and the two walked to one place first.

The fifth child looked at the two of them and followed.

"Look, this is the porridge of the porridge shed." Lao Wu handed the bowl to the two of them.

When the short man saw that there was rice porridge in the bowl.

There were no wild herbs, no bran or husks.

And the rice porridge is not very thin, it is the thickness of normal cooking!

"Shhh

The short man and the sixth man glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in their eyes.

The sixth man stared at the bowl carefully, frowned, and said, "Fifth brother, did you steal some of it, there are a circle of water stains along the side of this bowl!" ”

The short man rolled his eyes.

What's your focus?

With your eyes, you deserve to be beaten by twenty boards!

"yes?" Lao Wu explained, "It's a pity that I don't drink a bowl full of it and have to sprinkle it?" ”

In these years, ordinary people still pay attention to saving food.

Because they have all starved.

Only those who have been starving understand the meaning of food, and it is really damn to waste food!

"How does it taste?" The short man teased.

Lao Wu nodded: "It's not bad, the water is clean, there is no smell, and there is salt in it." ”

"What?"

The short man was shocked again.

He didn't believe it, then he tasted it too, and was shocked.

No, who puts so much rice in the soup kitchen?

Also add salt?

Charity isn't so good, is it?

"If you want me to say, this master of the Xiao family is really a good man, I cook porridge at home, and my mother is reluctant to put so much rice!" After a few sips, the old five drank the gruel dry, and there was no waste at all.

The short man said in a deep voice: "This Xiao Fan is a little interesting...... He didn't know how expensive it was, he really just wanted to make a good name? ”

"I just looked, there are not many victims recently, and there are not many people queuing up over there. Each person can receive one bowl per day, and if someone in the family can't walk, they can bring a household registration certificate to serve a few more bowls. ”

Old Five Ways:

"There are two porridge sheds over there, one is set up by the yamen, and it's okay, but I heard that there is no salt added, and there are few people in line."

"The county magistrate of Lantai County is also a person with a heart."

"Could it be just for show, and it will be collected in a few days?"

"Who knows......"

The short man said: "Before the situation of the disaster victims is revealed, people have opened porridge sheds, obviously not just for show." ”

Everyone knows that sending charcoal in the snow is not as good as icing on the cake.

The showman will only start to do good deeds after the beginning of the dead and when the victims of the disaster storm the town.

At this time, there are many floating populations, and the reputation spreads quickly.

"Brother, should we go for another bowl?"

Lao Wu said: "The little lady who gave porridge under the shed is really good-looking!" ”

The short man and the sixth man suddenly glared at him.

"Don't you have money to eat, go and fight with the people for food?" The short man reprimanded.

"No, the point is that the little lady is good-looking!" The fifth child died without repentance.

The short man was speechless and kicked him down the river.

"Haha!" The sixth gloats.
