The lady of the Zhao family cried and said that anyway, the people from Qi Dalang's gambling shop told her that they wanted to go to Xi Erlang from the Xi's next door to the Zhao family, so that they would let the Zhao family father and son go.

After hearing this, she hurriedly came to Xi's house to invite Shunniang.

After hearing this, Shun Niang suddenly thought that when she met Lu Quan a few days ago, he wanted to drag herself to Qi Dalang's gambling house in the town to play. Could it be that the Zhao family's father and son were detained in Qi Dalang's gambling house? What method did he use to make the Zhao family father and son owe a lot of money in Qi Dalang's gambling shop, and then he asked Qi Dalang to come forward to teach the Zhao family father and son a lesson.Qi Dalang said that he had to go by himself to let the Zhao family father and son go. He must take the opportunity to let the Zhao family father and son know what is good and bad, so that he will not trouble himself in the future.As for the specific situation, she felt afraid that she would have to go to Qi Dalang's casino to find out.

If so...

She would never easily agree to Mrs. Zhao's going to Qi Dalang's gambling house, the bruises on her face have not completely dissipated, and she dare not forget how Zhao Sanlang bullied her a few days ago.Moreover, she concluded that Zhao Sanlang asked that black-faced man to help him beat her a few days ago. It should be the crying woman in front of her who came to see the stewed fish in Xi's pot, and then went back and told Zhao Sanlang. Zhao Sanlang instigated it.Now that the father and son of the Zhao family were detained in Qi Dalang's gambling house by Lu Quan's design, the wife of the Zhao family knew how to cry and beg for help.If I casually agreed to go to Qi Dalang's gambling house, wouldn't the lady of the Zhao family not have suffered much?

Not to mention how to punish her, at least make her anxious for a while.

Shunniang made up her mind, so she pulled her sleeves and said that in this street, men and women argue about whether to kiss or look good, and I have to buy a scale when I go out, so I can help her after I buy it.

As soon as the lady of the Zhao family heard this, she immediately said that she would go with Shunniang, and when Shunniang bought the scale, she would follow her to Qi Dalang's gambling shop. It seemed that she was afraid that Shunniang would run away.

Shunniang thinks you can follow if you want, anyway, I must have done my own business before going to Qi Dalang's casino with you.

When Shunniang went to a shop in the town that specialized in selling scales to buy scales, Mrs. Zhao hesitated, and took out dozens of Wen to pay for Shunniang.Shun Niang hurriedly stopped and paid the money herself.She doesn't want to take advantage of the tens of pennies, and it's not that she has no money and can't afford a scale. If someone like Mrs. Zhao really makes her pay for a scale, she might say something nasty in the future. For example, if I went to help rescue the Zhao family father and son because I was greedy for dozens of pennies.

After buying the scale and going home, the wife of the Zhao family followed Shun Niang into the house, still in tears, looking very pitiful.

When Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi met, they both curiously asked Mrs. Zhao what was going on. Mrs. Zhao, just like Mrs. Xianglin, told the two of them what had happened to their officials and son. She didn't forget to beg them to quickly ask Shunniang to follow her to Qi Dalang's gambling shop to rescue her officials and son.The Qi family and the Liu family were the same as when Shunniang first heard about it. They were surprised that Qi Dalang asked Shunniang to go to the gambling house to let the Zhao family father and son go, and they were more worried, afraid that Shunniang would follow the Zhao family wife What if he was also detained in the gambling house by Na Qi Dalang.Therefore, they are not allowed to follow their mothers.Seeing this, the wife of the Zhao family knew that she had slipped her tongue, so she knelt down towards Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi, begging them to be merciful and let Shunniang follow her to Qi Dalang's gambling shop to save people. If she is willing to go, she is willing to offer her usual money as a thank you.

As soon as Mrs. Liu heard this, she was immediately tempted. Regardless of Mrs. Qi's continued objection, she went up to help Mrs. Zhao up and said, "Ms. Zhao, get up quickly, but you have to keep your word. My Erlang is going with you." Qi Dalang's gambling shop saved your family officials and your family Saburo, and you have to send a consistent amount of money."

After hearing this, Shunniang hurriedly said that Mrs. Zhao didn't need money to thank her, so she followed Mrs. Zhao to Qi Dalang's gambling shop. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu pushed Shunniang into the room and locked the door with a lock , I set up a stool to guard the door, and asked Mrs. Zhao to get a consistent amount of money for herself, otherwise she would never let her Erlang follow her to take risks in Qi Dalang's gambling house.

No matter how stingy the lady of the Zhao family is, she doesn't care about being stingy with money at this moment. With a pale face, she carried her skirt and ran back to take the usual money to Mrs. Liu. When she gave the money to Mrs. Liu, her hands were shaking, and her heart My face hurts so much.But she knew that if she didn't give the usual money to Liu Shi today, Liu Shi would definitely do something desperate.

Mrs. Liu took the money and counted it one by one. It was indeed consistent money, not even a penny less. Then she happily took out the key, opened the door, let Shunniang out, and let Shunniang follow Zhao The wife of the family went to Qi Dalang's gambling shop, and said that she would follow Shunniang to protect her.

Shunniang convinced her mother and told her not to go, just wait at home with her sister-in-law, she will definitely come back safely.In addition, she wanted to take the consistent money and return it to Zhao's wife, but her mother held the money tightly in her arms, hid in the West Room, and locked the door of the West Room from the inside.

"Mom, open the door!" Shun Niang followed and knocked on the door, "You can't do this."

"Whoever says no, you go to Qi Dalang gambling house with Mrs. Zhao, who knows what will happen to you, everyone in Yangliu Town knows that Qi Dalang's gambling house is full of rascals, and they are not easy to get along with. Since Mother took her money, she should have taken it, Erlang, you have to be more careful, if you see something wrong, you have to get out in time..." Liu said emphatically behind the door.

Shun Niang was really helpless, she knew that her old mother would not take out the usual money brought by Mrs. Zhao's.

The wife of the Zhao family followed Shunniang and urged her to follow her.

Mrs. Qi was still worried, and said that she would go with Shunniang by herself, so she could take care of her if there was anything wrong.

"Sister-in-law, you are so thin, if you really want something, I will take care of you. You can just stay at home with my mother and take Kecheng and Huier, okay? Don't say any more, I will follow the Zhao family Ma'am go."

After finishing speaking, Shunniang asked the wife of the Zhao family to lead the way, and then went to Qi Dalang's gambling house.

Reluctantly, Mrs. Qi sent Shunniang out of the house, and seeing that she followed Mrs. Zhao's family away, she closed the courtyard door and went back to the house.

On this side, the wife of the Zhao family hastily wiped away her tears and hurriedly led the way. She really wanted to fly away from Xi's house now, and she was afraid that if she stayed a little longer, that tricky and cunning woman of the Liu family would make something wrong again.Her heart is hurting right now, because she talked too much about how her officials and son were detained by Qi Dalang for herself. It's not that the usual money from my family is still lying under the box...

Qi Dalang's gambling house is in the south of Yangliu Town, and there is a relatively remote courtyard beside the town. This is the favorite place for gamblers in Yangliu Town to gamble.One is safety, Qi Dalang has a good relationship with the local Lizheng, and he gives him a lot of money every year. Whenever there is any business to catch gambling, Qi Dalang will know the news in advance, so he has never had an accident in this gambling shop.Two, Qi Dalang provides money to gamblers. If you lose the bet, you can just say how much you want to borrow. Qi Dalang will basically lend you money to make money. Of course, he will also consider your repayment ability, such as Yangliu He would not hesitate to borrow money from gamblers in some industries in the town.Three, his gambling house is related to some private houses, gamblers can find ladies to accompany them, and Qi Dalang gambling shop provides one-stop service of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

The combination of these three points made Qi Dalang's gambling house famous. In the eyes of ordinary people in Yangliu Town, this place is a place where filth is hidden, and they look down on it in their hearts. Of course, in the hearts of gamblers, this place is a place where you can spend time and drink. They yearn for it.

Although the wife of the Zhao family knew where Qi Dalang's Gambling House was, she had never been there. In addition, like ordinary people, she looked down on Qi Dalang's Gambling House.After all, Qi Dalang's gambling house is full of rascals. These people are villains in the Zhao family's wife's heart, and they belong to the kind who dare not provoke them, but it's strange that she has to go to meet them.But for the sake of her own man and son, no matter how scared she was, she had to bite the bullet.

To be honest, she couldn't figure out why her officials and her son went to Qi Dalang's gambling house to gamble, and the money they owed was kept in the gambling house. As for why Qi Dalang sent someone to spread the word, saying that it was Xijia Erlang who was next door. , Only then can the father and son of the Zhao family be released, and the wife of the Zhao family is also at a loss.

With all kinds of doubts, Mrs. Zhao led Shunniang to Qi Dalang Gambling House in a hurry.

When we arrived, the gate of Qi Dalang Gambling House was closed, only the hustle and bustle of gamblers could be faintly heard from inside, interspersed with the voices and laughter of a few women.

The wife of the Zhao family braced herself and went forward to knock on the door knocker nervously. She didn't know if it was because of the noise inside, but after knocking on the door knocker, no one came to open the door.

So, she could only use her hand to knock on the door vigorously again. This time, someone inside heard it and came to open the door for her.

The man who opened the door was a man reeking of alcohol. When he saw the wife of the Zhao family, he rolled his eyes and asked her who she was looking for.

The wife of the Zhao family trembled and said that it was Qi Dalang who sent someone to ask her to bring Xijia Erlang.

"Xijia Erlang?" The man glanced behind Zhao's wife, and immediately greeted Shunniang with a smile on his face, "Are you the second brother Xi? Please come in, my elder brother is waiting for you. "

After finishing speaking, he opened the courtyard door and asked Shunniang to follow him in to talk. As for Mrs. Zhao's family, she didn't have a good face. Let her follow behind, be honest, don't look around, and be careful of getting into trouble.

A man in his thirties with a full face and big arms and a round waist met Shunniang in a large room on the west side of the gambling house that was used as a warehouse. He sat on a chair with a backrest, and after being introduced by his subordinates, he went Someone brought up a pouf, and let Shunniang sit down beside him and talk.

Shunniang walked over and sat down as she said, with a forced smile on her face.

Qi Dalang's voice was like a bell, and he was full of energy. After Shun Niang sat down, he told Shun Niang that Lu Jia Erlang was his good brother, and since Shun Niang was Lu Jia Erlang's elder brother, he was also his brother.He also said that the father and son of the Zhao family gambled in the gambling shop and borrowed a lot of money from him when they lost, but they still lost later. They asked them to pay back the money. It's five strings of money that they can't get out.

It happened that Lu Erlang also gambled in the gambling house, and when he saw him, he said that his sworn brother, Xijia Erlang, was a neighbor of the Zhao family. If Xijia Erlang was willing to speak for them, then he would allow them a few days to raise money to pay back the Zhao family. Otherwise, the Zhao family will use their house and land to offset the debt.

The wife of the Zhao family who came in after Shunniang saw her husband and son tied to two pillars in the corner early in the morning, drooping their heads in dejection.

When Qi Dalang said that the two of them owed five pennies to the gambling house, and if they couldn't pay back, they would pay the debt with the house and land of the Zhao family, the wife of the Zhao family slumped on the ground.

Only then did Qi Dalang notice the wife of the Zhao family. He asked his men to set her up in a rough voice, and told her that Xijia Erlang was here. If Xi Erlang nodded and was willing to speak for them, he would let Zhao's father and son go back and give him a few days to raise money to pay him back.

When the wife of the Zhao family heard this, she knelt down towards Shunniang, crying and begging her to speak for the Zhao family.

After listening to Qi Dalang's words, Shunniang understood that all of this was indeed Lu Quan's setup, and Qi Dalang was just cooperating with acting.

"Brother Qi, I want to ask Second Brother Lu, is he here?" Shunniang asked Qi Dalang after thinking about it.

Qi Dalang told Shunniang that Lu Quan had gambled all night and had left the gambling house more than half an hour ago and went home to sleep. Before he left, he said what he told Shunniang just now.

Shunniang nodded, indicating that she understood.

She couldn't help secretly praising Lu Quan's clever strategy. If her guess was correct, Lu Quan should have set up a trap and found someone to lure Zhao's father and son into the gambling house to gamble, and then let them win first and then lose.In order to make money, the Zhao family father and son, who were jealous of losing, couldn't help being urged by others to borrow money from Qi Dalang, and finally lost. In this way, they owed Qi Dalang a large sum of money.Then he asked Qi Dalang to come forward and call himself, and asked the Zhao family to ask him to help and speak for them, and Qi Dalang let them go back to raise money to pay off their gambling debts.In this way, the Zhao family knew that they had friendship with Lu Quan and Qi Dalang, so they didn't dare to embarrass themselves and stop fishing.

The Zhao family paid a total of six pennies, and they were severely punished once. They must restrain themselves in the future, and dare not bully outsiders like the Xi family casually.

Shunniang felt that she had breathed out a lot of bad breath, and she was very relieved.

However, on the surface, she still had to pretend to be embarrassed. Seeing that the wife of the Zhao family did not speak, the wife of the Zhao family cried loudly, and even kowtowed to Shunniang, begging her to see that Xi's family moved to Yangliu Town. For the sake of a good family, let's help the Zhao family this time.

Shunniang said nothing, looked at Zhao Sanlang and Zhao Jiang who were tied to the pillars, then pointed to them and said, "They lost money in the bet, should we let them say something?"

Qi Dalang lifted his chin, and asked his subordinates to help Zhao Jiang and Zhao Sanlang untie them, brought him and Shunniang to him, and said, "Second brother Xi wants to hear something from you, so just say it. "

Zhao Jiang first stepped forward and bowed to Shunniang, asking him to say something nice for the sake of the two being good neighbors, he was very grateful.

Shunniang hummed, looked at Zhao Sanlang, and waited for him to speak.

After listening to Qi Dalang's words, Zhao Sanlang finally understood that he and his father were set up by someone to coax them into Qi Dalang's gambling shop to lose a large sum of money. Now they owed five strings of money, and Qi Dalang urged to pay back the money, but they really couldn't get it out.So there were those words of Lu Quan interceding for them. Finally, Xi Erlang came and asked Xi Erlang himself. He agreed to intercede for them, and Qi Dalang would let their father and son go home.

All of this should be Xi Erlang's revenge. A few days ago, he asked his cousin Gou Zi to beat Xi Erlang and threatened him not to fish in the river under Liushan Mountain. After this good show, he and his father fell into a trap.

He regrets it now, why didn't he know that Xi Erlang and Na Lu Erlang were sworn brothers, if he had known this earlier, he would not have asked Gouzi to help beat Xi Erlang.

After beating Kijiro that day, he went home and did not tell his parents about it, so his parents must not know that there is such a reason, if his parents found out that the disaster was all because of If he caused it by himself, they would definitely beat him violently. Thinking of this, Zhao Sanlang's heart trembled.What is even more frightening is that if Xi Erlang is offended now, as long as Xi Erlang is unhappy, he may find trouble with Lu Quan and that guy. There are so many, maybe one day I will be caught with a fist...

Thinking of these serious consequences, Zhao Sanlang became frightened, and immediately knelt down towards Shunniang with a plop, kowtowing like garlic, begging Shunniang to forgive him for his many offences, and help to say a good word to Qi Dalang.He didn't dare to ask Shunniang to forgive him for his evil deeds in front of his parents, so he spoke vaguely.

Shunniang didn't want to expose him either, but just looked at him coldly, and didn't speak until he knocked blood on his forehead, asking Qi Dalang to show his respect and let the Zhao family father and son go, and allow the Zhao family father and son to go home for a few days To raise money to pay back.

Qi Dalang patted Shunniang's shoulder with a big hand, and said boldly: "Since brothers are willing to speak for them, then I will look at brothers' face and give them a few days to raise money to pay me back!"

The Zhao family got Qi Dalang's words, and hurriedly bowed to thank Qi Dalang.

With a wave of his hand, Qi Dalang asked someone to bring up an IOU that had been written long ago, and asked the Zhao family father and son to press their fingerprints. The IOU was clearly written, and the Zhao family father and son needed to send the five pennies to Qi Dalang in three days. Otherwise, Qi Dalang will send someone to collect Zhao's house and land.

The Zhao family father and son pressed their fingerprints tremblingly, and said some words of gratitude, before Qi Dalang said that they could go back.

After the Zhao family left, Qi Dalang quietly told Shunniang that Lu Quan was in a room on the second floor of the gambling house. If Shunniang wanted to see him, he could take her to see him right now.

Of course Shunniang wanted to thank Lu Quan, so she asked Qi Dalang to take her up to meet him.

Qi Dalang led the way ahead, took Shunniang up to the second floor of the gambling house, and pushed open the door of the easternmost room, where Lu Quan sat at a table full of wine, meat and fruit. He was teasing and drinking with two delicate ladies in his arms.Shun Liang has seen these two delicate ladies before, that is, a few days ago, Lu Quan took her to a nunnery in the town, and came in to accompany the two young ladies.

"Hahaha, Second Brother Lu had a great time. It really is a waste of youth!" Qi Dalang laughed loudly as soon as he entered, and then said, "To thank Second Brother Lu for setting up a game for me to earn five guan Qian, the money you paid for eating and drinking here today and for having the two young ladies as companions is all mine, and now I have brought you your brother, so you can catch up on the old days..."

Lu Quan cupped his hands towards Qi Dalang, and said with a smile: "Young brother, then respect is worse than obedience."

Qi Dalang laughed loudly for a while before leaving.

"Come here, come here, second brother, look, who is this?" Lu Quan waited for Qi Dalang to go out, and called Shunniang to go over, and pulled up the little lady who was sitting next to him in a water-red skirt, and walked towards her push.

And the little lady in the water-red skirt also cooperated with Lu Quan. As soon as Lu Quan pushed her, she threw herself into Shunniang's arms. Shunniang hurriedly reached out to hold her fragrant shoulders, and pushed her away, her face was full of helplessness. Lu Quan laughed out loud, teasing Shun Niang was useless, and asked her if she hadn't tasted a woman yet.He also said that if there is really no one here, there is someone here who is willing to accompany him, and he doesn't need to spend a penny, but Liu Xiang'er is willing to pay her back.

Shunniang was embarrassed, and couldn't help complaining that Lu Quan was not serious. She came up to thank him for helping her teach the Zhao family a lesson. They must never dare to embarrass Xi's family again.

Lu Quan said that if Shunniang wanted to thank Liu Xianger and Zhang Poxi who were beside him first, it was they who used their beauty to confuse the Zhao family father and son who were eating in the hotel. He gave them a lot of money, and then gave them an excuse to go to Qi's gambling house to get money for them, and took them to Qi Dalang's gambling house.Then, someone lured them to gamble in Qi Dalang's casino with the money they got. At first, they were allowed to win as usual, but in the end, of course, they were made to lose. Step by step, they finally fell into a trap designed by themselves in.Qi Dalang got the five pennies for nothing, so of course he is willing to cooperate with him in acting. Although he did not beat and kick the Zhao family father and son in this play, he is sure that after the Zhao family father and son go back, they will understand that Xi Erlang next door cannot be offended. I don't dare to trouble Xi's family anymore.If they don't know the good and the bad, they won't get out so easily next time.

After saying these words, Lu Quan asked Shun Niang to sit down and drink with him. The two of them must get drunk today.

Thinking that Lu Quan had done herself a great favor after all, and it would be unreasonable not to drink with him, Shun Niang reluctantly sat down and drank with him for a while, but during the drinking process, that Liu Xianger leaned against her for a while. , I will say a nasty joke for a while, which really makes Shunniang overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Lu Quan and Zhang Poxi only sniggered aside, not helping Shunniang resist Liu Xianger's pink offensive at all.

Shunniang reluctantly accompanied Lu Quan to drink some wine, but in the end she couldn't stand it anymore and fled. Lu Quan sent him out of Qi Dalang's gambling shop and told her that no matter whether it was the Zhao family or others, they would come to trouble Shunniang again. Just tell him, he will definitely help Shunniang to win.

"Okay, thank you for your kindness, I will treat my brother to a drink some other day." Shun Niang cupped her hands at him.

Lu Quan patted him on the shoulder and asked him in a low voice if he wanted to leave his virginity to his future daughter-in-law. Need to cleanse yourself and so on.

Shunniang didn't discuss this issue with him, she just said that she was dizzy after drinking and she wanted to go back to rest and go to the city to sell firewood tomorrow.

When Lu Quan heard this, he asked her to go back earlier, and the two brothers would meet again another day.

Shunniang nodded, and then went home.

When she got home, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi were still stretching their necks waiting for her to come back for dinner. The sun was setting, and the golden orange sunlight penetrated into the main room, which made Shunniang feel that the room was brighter than other days. Her He was in a good mood and looked good.

Mrs. Qi came to meet her, seeing her happy face, she felt relieved for a moment, just now Shunniang followed Mrs. Zhao's family to Qi Dalang's gambling shop, but she was always worried.

Just getting closer, he could smell the smell of alcohol and makeup all over her body, and seeing Shun Niang's face flushed, not only suspected that she had drunk, but also went to hang out with women.Although Mrs. Qi stays at home with children and does housework all day long, after moving to Yangliu Town, she has heard about the dirty things in Qi Dalang's gambling house.

Thinking of this, Qi's heart was sour for a while, but when facing Shun Niang, she still tried to show a smile, and said: "Uncle is back? Then the people from Qi Dalang Casino never made things difficult for you, right?"

Shunniang shook her head and said everything was fine.

She walked to the table in the main room with great interest and sat down, looked at the porridge and pancakes on the table, and asked, "Mother and sister-in-law haven't eaten yet?"

Mrs. Liu said: "Mother and daughter-in-law are waiting for you to come back to eat together. What, then Qi Dalang went to see you and really let the Zhao family father and son come back, and how much money the Zhao family father and son owed was given by Qi Dalang Detained in the casino?"

I can't blame Liu's gossip. When ordinary people in this town hear about things related to Qi Dalang's gambling house, they are very interested in inquiring about it, because everything that happens in Qi Dalang's gambling house is related to money and women. These two things are considered the two things that ordinary people in Yangliu Town care about most in their lives, and this kind of thing happened in the Zhao family next door, so it's no wonder Liu didn't inquire about it.

Shunniang organized the conversation and told the old lady some obvious things. When she heard that Zhao's father and son had actually lost five pennies in Qi Dalang's gambling shop, Liu's mouth was so shocked that he didn't close it for a long time.Mrs. Qi was also stunned when she heard this, and looked at Shunniang speechless for a long time, Shunniang smiled, picked up her little nephew Kecheng, and fed him with vegetables, Kecheng was holding a pancake in his hand, happy biting.

But Chengdu ate less than half a bowl of millet porridge. Only then did Liu and Qi come to their senses. Liu made a fuss about the prodigal remarks of Zhao's father and son, and then began to eat happily. It was extraordinarily fragrant, but the Qi family was unfoundedly worried about how the Zhao family next door would live in the future.

Shunniang said: "Sister-in-law, let's live our lives and don't worry about others. By the way, I'm leaving today. Have you weighed the bean sprouts?"

Mrs. Qi put down the bowl and told Shunniang that they weighed it, and half a catty of soybeans produced about two catties of bean sprouts, and half a catty of mung beans yielded about five catties of bean sprouts.

Shun Niang silently calculated this account, thinking that although the output of mung bean sprouts is high, the price of mung bean itself is also higher than that of soybeans. Except that mung bean sprouts are produced at the beginning, and everyone can sell them at a high price if they are fresh. If it goes down, mung bean sprouts will not have much advantage over soybean sprouts, mainly because the cost of mung beans is more than twice that of soybeans.Now that I have produced bean sprouts, I will improve it next time, such as picking out the bad beans from the beans, so that the bean sprouts I produce next time will be even better.

In any case, she planned to seize the opportunity and send out a batch of mung bean sprouts for sale first, and then make a fortune.

What's more, the Zhao family next door has been cleaned up, and she doesn't dare to make trouble for herself in a short time. If this is the case, she has to hurry up to fish, and watch July pass and August come.As the saying goes, the autumn wind gradually cools in August, and when the weather gets colder, fishing is not so good.She hopes to grow bean sprouts for sale while continuing to cut firewood and fish to earn income. In this way, when it is really difficult to fish and cut firewood in winter, then her bean sprouts business should be on the right track.Although selling bean sprouts makes little money, as long as they sell a large amount, it will be a considerable profit. Shunniang decided to get her first pot of gold in the bean sprouts business.And if you want to sell a lot of bean sprouts, you have to do wholesale and deliver to those hotels. The first thing Shunniang thinks of is Song Yujie's hotel, and the hundreds of shops under the Songjiazheng store that buy wine in the Songjiazheng store. shop.

At this time, all the restaurants in Bianliang City with the word "Zhengdian" are hotels with the right to make wine. They can buy wine koji from a special institution of the imperial court, take it back to brew their own special wine, and then sell it. wholesale.In the huge city of Bianliang, with a population of over one million, there are only 72 hotels with the word "Zhengdian". If the remaining small hotels want to sell wine, they have to buy wine from such hotels that are allowed to make wine by the imperial court.As a result, under the name of each main store, there are at least dozens of franchised stores, and as many as hundreds of so-called "foot stores". out for sale.

Because of this relationship, any merchant who deals in vegetables, meat and fruits only needs to contact one or two official stores, send their products in, and let the franchised foot stores under the official store buy their own goods, then the merchant must will make money.

Therefore, a good relationship with Sister Song Yu is necessary for Shunniang to realize her first pot of gold in bean sprouts.

Shunniang didn't tell her mother and sister-in-law about her idea first, she always said what she did, so she planned to go to the city tomorrow and send a few catties of mung bean sprouts to Sister Song Yu to test her reputation Besides.

That night, she picked out the remaining half a catty of soybeans and mung beans, soaked them in warm water, and continued to germinate bean sprouts tomorrow.

Then I weighed three catties of mung bean sprouts, picked banana leaves from the yard outside, wrapped them up, and put them in a cool place next to the water tank. I planned to bring them to Sister Song Yu when I went to the city tomorrow.

Thinking of going to morning fishing tomorrow, she started mixing fish food again.

She was busy, Mrs. Qi was helping her, Mrs. Liu looked at it for a while, washed up and went to bed first, when no one was in front of her, Mrs. Qi started talking, and asked Shunniang if she went to Qi Dalang's gambling house today. people messed up.

"Stupid?" Shunniang didn't understand what sister-in-law meant for a moment.

Mrs. Qi lowered her head, pinched the hem of her clothes and said slowly: "...Uncle must not really be like those idlers in Qi Dalang's gambling house..."

She couldn't say the following words.

Shunniang rolled her eyes when she saw her sister-in-law like this, and thought about what kind of idlers in Qi Dalang's gambling house. Maybe it wasn't because she came back from the gambling house today, she smelled of alcohol and makeup, and then her sister-in-law smelled it, so she said that.

"Is my sister-in-law worried that I will learn badly?" She looked directly at Qi Shi and asked.

Qi looked up at her and nodded silently.

Shunniang laughed loudly, glanced at Qi Shi, and said with a smile: "What is sister-in-law thinking? Do you really think of me as a man?"

Mrs. Qi asked: "Then you dare to tell my servant how that powdery smell on your body comes from?"

Shunniang said, thinking, if my sister-in-law could smell the smell of makeup that Liu Xianger left on her body, then should I tell my sister-in-law about Liu Xianger?After thinking about it for a while, she felt that if she said it, her sister-in-law would definitely break the casserole and ask the end, so she would make things difficult for herself instead.

"This... this is the woman who served as a cook in Qi Dalang's gambling house, and she accidentally bumped into me, so..." Shunniang tried her best to make up an excuse to perfunctory Qi.

Qi asked: "Is that so?"

Shun Niang smiled and nodded: "Really."

But my heart was beating a drum.

Mrs. Qi believed Shunniang's words, and said that she would scoop up some warm water left in the pot to wash Shunniang's face and feet. After washing, let's rest early, and tomorrow he will get up early to fish and chop firewood and go to the city.

Shunniang agreed, and stuck out her tongue behind her when Qi Shi turned around.

The next morning at around Yinshi, Shunniang took the fish basket, with an ax and a rope pinned to her waist, and a firewood stick on her shoulder, and went out.

When she came back, it was time for every family to make breakfast. She caught a good catch this morning. There were two big fish and two smaller ones. After breakfast, she took the three catties of green fish wrapped in banana leaves. Put the bean sprouts in the fish basket and carried them into the city with a load of firewood, heading straight to Sister Song Yu's Songjia Zhengdian.

Before reaching the main store of the Song Family, she met Shishi on the street of Tianshui Lane.

As soon as Shi Shi saw her, he jumped up and said excitedly: "Sister Song Yu asked me about you several times. She said that you haven't been to her shop to deliver firewood and fish these days, and asked if something happened to you. Said that I don't know where you live in Yangliu Town, so I don't know whether you are sick or something. She told me to take you to her shop to meet her if I saw you. I was selling fruit on this street every day, and I have been looking for you, but I found you today, let's go, let's go to the Songjiazheng store, Sister Song Yu saw that I took you there, maybe buy some more fruits from me!"
