Chapter 244: A Donkey

"Tang Xiaomi, you stop for me!"

On the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats are the customs of the people of Jiuquan for hundreds of years.

This year's dragon boat registration is very enthusiastic, Lin Zhutou sneaked up to the Longmen Inn, asked the inn if it was registered, you can form a team with your neighbors, or you can organize a team to participate in the competition.

The Daqing River in Jiuquan is full of nine-person dragon boats, including dragon head drummers and dragon tail helmsmen.

In fact, there is no dragon head and dragon tail, and it is the same competition, but this kind of competition has always been friendship first, and the real competition is the first, and the rewards are often only symbolic, not rich, and everyone only wants a festive jackpot.

This year, though, it is said that the first place winner will get a donkey. Compared with a few catties of moon cakes in previous years, it is too expensive.

Why are there such "lucrative" rewards this year?

This kind of thing is often participated by young and middle-aged men, but today Zhang County Ling is ingenious, he has to organize at least eight women's teams to participate in the dragon boat race, and also said that he will invite the four county marquis of Hexi to watch, and requires Lin, Han, and Chen to do a good job, and each jurisdiction, at least two teams for me. The remaining two, he figured it out himself.

Lin made it difficult to catch the head, and found a few big families, but he went a step late, and he was invited by Han and Chen. They sent their maids to participate in the competition, and it is said that there is a fun-loving lady in the boudoir who will also participate, and this matter reached the ears of Zhang Xianling, and the county magistrate was very satisfied.

But there are still three days to play, and there is no movement on Lin Zhutou's side, so he can't help but be a little anxious.

Just now, he ran to Yihong Courtyard and begged Huang Laobuxing for help, but Huang Laobustard hurriedly and white-faced could be regarded as agreeing. Then Lin Zhutou came to the Longmen Inn again and begged for help.

"Brother Wu Songxian, you have to help my brother in this matter. You have two younger sisters and you have to contribute. Lin Zhutou said proudly.

Looking at Lin Zhutou's faction, if Wu Song does not agree, he will not be heroic enough, not righteous enough, and will damage the prestige of the heroes of Zishi Street.

Wu Song grabbed the pig's trotter in his hand, chewed a piece of crispy bone, swallowed it with a grunt, and said, "You ask me about this, you go directly to Lan Lan and Xiaomi." ”

"How can that be done? Lin Zhutou was in trouble: "I understand Sister You's temper, if she knows that I let her compete with the opposite Yihong Courtyard, she will definitely scold me." ”

"Not necessarily. Wu Song said: "My sister has a very strange temper, so maybe she agreed." But if she doesn't say yes, I'm really fine. ”

Lin Zhutou touched his nose with ash, and the boss was unhappy, so he waited in the inn.

Soon after, Yulan and Tang Mi returned in disgrace.

"My fairy grandmother, what are you two doing here?" Lin Zhutou was shocked: "Have you gone to dig tunnels? I can remind you that Jiuquan City is an important military town, and people are not allowed to dig tunnels without permission." ”

Yulan ignored Lin and ran into the bathroom as if he were grabbing it.

Tang Xiaomi didn't want to compete with Youlan, so he stayed in the hall and looked at Lin Zhutou with a gray face.

"Lin Zhutou, what are you doing here?" Tang Xiaomi's face was cold: "Oh, I know, this is about to be a holiday, why don't you take away three catties of moon cakes and five catties of rice wine." ”

"Hey, Tang Xiaomi, how do you speak?" Lin Zhutou glared, "Won't you feel ashamed of poking people's hearts?"

Tang Xiaomi pinched her waist and said, "No, I don't feel ashamed at all. This year's yellow rice is particularly expensive, and I can only prepare two catties for you. And your two apprentices, one pound each this year, is there more? ”

Lin Zhutou smiled and said: "If you look at you, I know that our Tang Xiaomi is the most kind-hearted person." Hey, Xiaomi, my brother has something to discuss with you. You see if it can be done, I said in advance, this matter will definitely not be ashamed, if you do it well, my brother will still have a reward. ”

"Let's start with the rewards. Tang Xiaoxiao said.

"Uh... , brother rewards you..."Lin Zhutou is in trouble, he doesn't know what to reward, this old boy usually loots the people's fat and ointment, but most of it is for Zhang County, and he himself only got some soup, can he still say that your family's taxes are exempted this year?

He doesn't have that much power, so if he doesn't kick the tax basket in the Dragon Gate Inn, he will be left behind.

"Brother rewarded you with a donkey! do you want to?" Lin Zhutou's eyes rolled.

Tang Xiaomi was stunned.

Lin Zhutou shook his head and said, "However, you must take the first place to get the reward." ”

"What kind of mess?" Tang Xiaomi didn't understand: "Are you planning to let us participate in any competition?"

"Yes. Lin Zhutou should have said: "The county magistrate said, 'Who said that women are not as good as men', this year's dragon boating, let women compare." The four gates of Jiuquan City all sent people to participate, but no one signed up at our south gate. Previously, I went to Nangong's house, but as a result, people are now working for the county master, and that quota is not counted in our Nancheng. Don't give up, I see that your Tang Xiaomi's chance to be in the limelight has come. ”

"I'm not going. Tang Xiaomi waved his hand and said: "You go to the opposite side of Yihong Courtyard, there are many women there, grab a handful, let alone one team, it is not troublesome to organize two teams." ”

"That's not going to work, it's not allowed to have two teams in a family. Lin Zhutou pleaded with a bitter face: "Little aunt, you have the right to help me, compete with those women, as long as you make a move, you must be the first." Although the reward is not very large, it is a good prize. A donkey! a barking donkey. Isn't it good to have a donkey? With a car, Gada Gada can go everywhere, what is not convenient to transport? When the time comes, my brother will apply for a donkey car license for you. Everything is simple. ”

"Okay, Lin Zhutou, I agreed. Youlan was washing in the bathroom, and when she heard Lin Zhutou's words, she shouted.

Lin Zhutou was overjoyed.

trotted to the back of the bathroom door curtain, stuck to the door curtain and said, "There are nine people in total, can Sister You find someone? If I can't find enough, I can also ask Widow Zhang and them to make up the number." ”

"No, if you look for Widow Zhang, I won't participate. Yulan lifted the curtain and walked out, "Aren't there just nine women, I'll find it myself." You're bothered. Now go and feed me that donkey, I don't want a dead donkey. ”

"You don't have to worry about this. Lin Zhutou patted his heart and promised.

Then Lin Zhutou left satisfied.

Tang Xiaomi and Youlan were angry and said that they were unwilling to participate.

Yulan asked, why.

Tang Xiaomi said that she didn't want to compete with a group of prostitutes and be embarrassed.

Youlan was surprised and didn't take Tang Xiaomi's seriously, so she ran around looking for helpers everywhere.

The three little Taoist aunts of the Emei faction "Green Mushroom", the Qingtan Xiaoni of Jing'an Temple and the little beauty of Pu Jingchuan, counted with their fingers, these are seven people.

"I'll go find Heyun Qi and Yue Caidan again, this person is enough. Yulan collapsed in the easy chair, calculating the good things.

"I'm not going!" Tang Xiaomi waved his sleeves and ran away.
