One of the big boys

After returning in the afternoon, Da Zhuang approached Er Zhuang and San Zhuang respectively, hoping that they could lend him some money.

"Brother, what do you want money for?" San Zhuang took out his money box from the bedside cabinet. "The last time we built the shop, we gave all the money to my sister-in-law. Now I only have a tael of silver. Why do you want money? Ask my sister-in-law for it."

"Don't ask too many questions, kid. I'll take the taels of money first." After leaving San Zhuang's room, Da Zhuang went to Er Zhuang again.Because Er Zhuang wants to fall in love, he has less money than San Zhuang, only a few hundred copper coins.Da Zhuang was a little worried, the money was not enough.

Before going to bed at night, Da Zhuang asked Zhang Bao for money.Zhang Bao tucked the quilt for Bai Sui, "What do you want money for?"

Da Zhuang cheered himself up in his heart, it's no big deal, the money must always be paid back, and Brother Bao always needs to know. "I went to the casino with Liu Zhengyang that day."

"Where have you been?" Zhang Bao stared at Da Zhuang, his voice raised several degrees.

Da Zhuang looked at Zhang Bao with a guilty conscience, "Just, let's go to the casino."

"To the casino? Did Liu Zhengyang take you there?" Zhang Baowo said hastily, "The bastard took you to the casino? How much did you lose?"

Da Zhuang remained silent, "Tell me, how much money did you lose? Huh?"

"Lose, lost 30 taels."

"30 taels?" Zhang Bao immediately opened his eyes wide, "Why did you lose? Can you go to a place like a gambling house? Ah? Do you know how much money our family has now? It's negative, you are responsible Do you understand? That is, our family still owes people money? Why are you still gambling?"

Zhang Bao took off his coat and slipped into bed, "Pay the money you owe yourself. I don't care about you. I'm going to sleep."

Da Zhuang glanced at the bulging quilt bag next to him, "Bao'er, I was wrong. Really wrong. Don't ignore me. I won't go to the gambling house next time."

"sleep."

Da Zhuang got into bed and hugged Zhang Bao from behind, "Bao'er?"

Zhang Bao ignored him without moving.Da Zhuang stretched out his hand to tickle Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao laughed out loud at being scratched, but he was still angry, so he kicked Da Zhuang under the quilt.

"Bao'er, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have gone to that kind of place. I just felt that the new wizard and Liu Zhengyang went to see it together. I also won that day at the beginning, won five taels, and then lost."

"Forget it this time. If you go to gamble again next time, I won't say anything. Let's leave together. I earn money for you at home and support the whole family. If you spend money like water outside, that's a big deal." I don't have a good time. Listen to me." Zhang Bao sighed after finishing speaking.

"I promise, I will never go to that kind of place again."

The next day, Zhang Bao gave Da Zhuang 30 taels of silver.Da Zhuang took the money and went to the casino to pay back the money

When Liu Zhengyang strolled to Zhang Bao's restaurant to listen to the play, he greeted Zhang Bao, but Zhang Bao didn't return.Liu Zhengyang touched his nose in embarrassment, knowing what he did was wrong, so he didn't mind Zhang Bao's attitude. "Brother Bao, Brother Liu was wrong about that. Brother Liu apologizes to you. I will never take Da Zhuang to those messy places again next time."

After Liu Zhengyang said that, Zhang Bao couldn't put on airs anymore. "Brother Liu, big and honest, you can take him to this kind of place again. His brain can't play with others."

"Success, success, don't take him there. The Chinese New Year is only ten days away. Are there any activities on your side this year?"

Zhang Bao grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the counter and gave them to Liu Zhengyang, and then tucked in a quilt for Baisui.Inside the counter, Da Zhuang built a small bed for Bai Sui. "There are no activities. But that day I heard that a family's donkey in the town was about to die. I heard that it was injured before. It's not good."

"What? Why do you want to kill the donkey?"

"What I want is donkey meat. Have you ever eaten donkey meat? I haven't eaten it here yet."

"I've never eaten donkey meat. This is a good thing." Liu Zhengyang leaned against the counter, "Who donkey is not a precious thing in the house, who eats it."

"Isn't there a saying that there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. I plan to collect this donkey this year. After selling this donkey, I will close this year and reopen next year."

Liu Zhengyang regained his energy immediately, "Oh, brother Bao, you have to leave me three catties of meat, I will leave this year for my father-in-law's use."

Old man Yao was quite happy when he heard that someone wanted to collect his half-dead donkey.It was sold to Zhang Bao for a tael of silver.

Zhang Bao took the donkey and asked San Zhuang to write a sign and hang it on the locust tree on the street.The sign said, "Donkey meat tomorrow."

As soon as the sign was hung up, a group of people rushed over to read it.

"Hehe, there's also donkey meat for sale. It's a good thing, it's not common."

"No, I must come to eat tomorrow."

I made an agreement with Butcher Luo the day before.Before dawn, Butcher Luo and his eldest son killed the donkey and picked the meat off the skeleton.

The donkey weighed 150 catties, and Zhang Bao kept [-] catties for himself, and the rest was taken to the store for cooking, and Zhang Bao set up a stall outside the store for the remaining [-] catties, and let Butcher Luo sell it for him.There is also a purchase limit, first come first served, no one is limited to one catty.

Bai Sui and Wu Zhuang were playing at the door, while Zhang Bao was sitting next to the butcher stall chatting with the butcher, when he saw Chen Hu leading a group of people queuing behind.

"Brother Chen, why are you still queuing up? Didn't I give you three catties earlier?"

Chen Hu smiled, "Hey, it's not that I didn't go back to my father last year, so I plan to buy something good when I go back this year."

"There is only [-] catties of meat at this stall, why don't you wait in line." Zhang Bao approached Chen Hu and whispered, "I left [-] catties at home, and I will give you [-] catties. After a while, You follow me to the back of the store to get it. Don’t tell Brother Jiang when you go out, I will only give them three catties each.”

"Don't say it, don't say it, absolutely don't say it." Pan Geer smiled and patted Zhang Bao's shoulder, "I just say that Brother Bao is interesting."

For the donkey meat left in the store, Zhang Bao steamed it in the kitchen, spread the sauce on it and eat it in the pancakes.

The author has something to say:

I originally wanted to make Zhang Bao and Da Zhuang quarrel over gambling, but I felt sorry for Da Zhuang, so I stopped abusing him.Also, I hope that if you feel pressure yourself, please don't pass the pressure on to others. This is irresponsible to others.
