Farmhouse is so old

"Come here, delicious barbecue." In less than half a month, this seafood barbecue became popular in every corner of Ming Dynasty.

Tang Qing and Zhou Qing were walking on the streets of the town. There was a seafood barbecue stall at the end of the street. Several boys were shouting loudly, surrounded by many onlookers.

"Boss, bring me a bunch of grilled squid."

"The boss wants some cold kelp shreds."

"Fry a pot of clams."

……

The onlookers were not idle either, talking about what they wanted one sentence at a time.Those boys in special costumes for seafood barbecue were busy working in an orderly manner, without looking messy at all.

"It seems that Cheng Ziyu has trained well, and it's really surprising that he can achieve such an effect in a short period of time." Tang Qing pulled Zhou Qing to observe not far from the barbecue booth.

Zhou Qing also thought it was good watching them do things: "I just don't know how it tastes, why don't we go over and buy a few skewers and try it."

Tang Qing had made it for him before, and the taste was wonderful, but he didn't know how these dishes compared with his husband's.

"That goes without saying, I must be the one who cooks delicious food." Tang Qing's face was full of arrogance. He is a third-level chef certificate holder, how could he lose to these people before he learned how much? God boy.

"You'll know if it tastes good or not." Zhou Qing pulled Tang Qing up and walked to Tang Qing's barbecue stall and said, "Can I have a portion of each, please?"

"Guest officer, please wait a moment." One of the boys looked up at Tang Qing and Zhou Qing, then lowered his head and went to work again.

There were a lot of people, and it was not easy for them to stand in front of other people's stalls, so they found an empty seat at the small table next to them, and after waiting for a while, their order was delivered.

"The taste is okay, but it's really not as delicious as what you made." Zhou Qing made a pertinent evaluation after tasting it.

Tang Qing said happily: "I just said that I am not as good as me."

"You don't feel complacent. They just did it for too short a time and didn't grasp the essence. After a long time in the future, they will definitely surpass you." Zhou Qing said deliberately pretending to be sure.

Tang Qing doesn't care anymore, things are still going on in the future, maybe someone else can invent a better seasoning, there are too many capable people in this world, and he Tang Qing is just a little gem. Just small pebbles.

The two of them walked around the neighborhood after eating the barbecue. This time, they planned to find a shop in the town to buy mountain goods.

Cheng Minghai's mountain products business and seafood are selling well, and the supply exceeds demand. Now he has signed agreements with several fishing villages, and those fishermen don't have to risk their lives to go to sea.

A breeding farm started to be set up near the seaside, and the income was also guaranteed. Those who were waiting to see Cheng Minghai's jokes were all slapped in the face, and they wanted to come up to share a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, the Cheng family and the Cheng family had joined forces a long time ago. There is also the little marquis in the middle, and no one dares to move.

"Hey, let me tell you that the sea will become a big deal. Back then, you laughed at people picking up all the trash." In a small town near the sea, there was a fat middle-aged man sitting in front of a barbecue stall.

Next to this middle-aged man, there were a few people of different sizes and sizes, all of whom were licking skewers in front of the barbecue booth and talking freely.

One of the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked people said with a look of disdain: "Come on, you used to say that Cheng Minghai was stupid back then, but now you turn your back and don't admit it. It's really two-sided."

"I said, don't pretend to be a good person here. No matter how flattering you are, you have to be heard. We are considered as onions now, and we can climb up to the Cheng family." Another richer person also said He said disapprovingly, and took a bite of the seafood skewer in his hand after speaking.

"Don't tell me, this taste is amazing. It's delicious." The rich man was full of praise after taking a bite.

The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks continued to disdain: "If it is not delicious and can be so popular, the stall would have been smashed."

"It's true, why should small businessmen like us worry about these things, just do a good job in our own business, and then it's fine to come out and have a skewer when you have nothing to do." The fat middle-aged man said after taking a bite , It's just that the tone is sour.

If he had seen Cheng Minghai's ability earlier, and had made friends with him at that time, would he be able to participate in this business now?

If he could hold the thigh of the Cheng family, he would be prosperous by now, but it is a pity that money is hard to buy. I knew it earlier. Back then, everyone in this area thought that this kid had something wrong with his mind, and no one wanted to talk to him, but he didn't expect this , I can't wait to slap myself a few more times.

It's too late to regret it now, the surrounding fishing villages have been taken over by the Cheng family, and even the ones a little further away have been taken down, and the cost of fishing in the sea is too high, it's not worth it, and you can't even drink soup.

The main secret of this barbecue is the seasoning. Countless experts have been invited to try it, but only a few common seasonings have been tasted, and there is nothing else.I don't know what kind of shit luck Cheng Minghai had to get this seasoning recipe.

Cheng Minghai is so busy that he doesn't have any free time. The entire Ming Dynasty consumes more than ten tons of seafood every day, as well as those restaurants where he has a family.

The other six merchants couldn't just sit still, they also talked to Cheng Minghai about buying enough seafood. Now that seafood is so popular, their own restaurants are also needed.The Cheng family, who is shadowing each other, has become the head of the eight major merchants.

"What kind of shop does my husband want to choose?" Zhou Qing looked at the rows of shops around him, a little curious and excited.Buying a store is a huge thing.

Tang Qing was also checking to see if there were any suitable shops. Some areas were prosperous but not suitable, and some areas were too remote, and suitable shops were found again.

"Let's take a look first." I've walked around several streets, but I haven't seen what I like.This ancient shop does not post rental or resale, some closed doors may not be for sale, so it is quite troublesome to find.

Zhou Qing had rarely even been to the town before, and they were the first in the village to buy a shop here, and they didn't know what procedures were required.

The two turned around on the street and walked for a long time, their legs were sore and they didn't see a shop, both of them were a little frustrated.

"Sell tea soup, sell tea soup." At this moment, a middle-aged man carrying tea soup passed by Tang Qing and Zhou Qing.

Now it's summer, and it's noon again, when the sun is scorching hot, the two of them have been walking for so long, their bodies are covered with sweat, and the small vendors on the street try to find a shady place to set up their stalls and yell.

Hearing the yelling of the tea soup seller, Tang Qing also felt thirsty, and said with a hot breath, "Two bowls of tea soup."

"That's good." The tea soup seller stopped immediately when he heard Tang Qing asked, and put down the burden on his shoulders.

When Tang Qing opened the tea bucket, he saw that there was a hole in it. There was a small bucket inside the bucket. The outer circle was filled with well water, and only the inner layer was actually filled with tea soup.

Unexpectedly, there was a method of refrigeration so early in ancient times, but this method seems quite strange.After paying two Wen, I drank a bowl of cool tea soup, and felt that the heat from my whole body dissipated a lot.

"It would be great if ice was added to this." Tang Qing returned the bowl to the tea soup seller, and muttered in a low voice, but the tea soup seller who didn't want to sell heard it.

Hearing Tang Qing's muttering, the tea soup seller smiled and said: "This little brother is very right, but this tea soup is a small business, and only rich people can enjoy the ice. If I put it here Ice can be sold for more than a penny."

"Brother said the same thing. It's the kid who doesn't understand." Tang Qing thought about it. He didn't have a refrigerator or anything, and the cost of putting ice in it was too high.The ice cellar is only available to rich families, how could the rich family think highly of this small business of selling tea soup, and apologized to the tea soup seller.

"It's not strange, it's not strange." The tea soup seller waved his hand, sealed the lid of the bucket, and continued to yell again.

Tang Qing had just drank a bowl of herbal tea, and felt relieved, so he was not so irritable. Thinking of buying a shop on TV, he had to find a matchmaker, so he patted his head and asked Zhou Qing, "Do you know a matchmaker?"

Zhou Qing was also a little confused when asked by Tang Qing, and replied, "A woman who looks at her teeth?"

Tang Qing was dumbfounded seeing him reply like this, and said again: "Then if there are people in your village who can't make it through and want to sell their fields, who should they turn to?"

"Look for the village chief." Zhou Qing replied without even thinking about it. Generally, such things need the approval of the village chief.

"Then what if you want to sell yourself?" Tang Qing asked again.

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes and said: "Then you can only go to the government. To sell yourself, you need to change your household registration to slave registration, and then find a buyer with the slave bond of the government seal."

Tang Qing finally understood that the government was in charge of all matters related to mung bean and sesame, and he could just go to the government if he had anything to do. It happened that he was very familiar with the prefect of Lu in Wenshui Town, so let him ask him.

When they came to the gate of the yamen, the yamen servants on guard still recognized Tang Qing, Tang Qing greeted them, stuffed some money in their hands and said: "The two young brothers are lucky, let's inquire about something. "

"Just give me an order if you need anything, why be so polite." One of the tall and thin yamen servants was polite to Tang Qing.

The rest of the yamen servants weighed the pieces of silver in their hands, smiling all over their faces. Every time Tang Qing came to the yamen to do errands, he was given silver, and this piece of silver was worth half a month's wages.

It's not like some big bosses who just give a few copper coins to perfunctory, they are tired of standing here every day before dawn, but those who think they have a few bad money still show off to them, only Tang Qing can see He remembered them, so the guards were polite to him, and every time he came to do something, the efficiency was very high.

"Brother, if you need anything, just tell us, as long as we can help." The other one who was a little fatter said to Tang Qing with a smile.

Seeing their good attitude, Tang Qing smiled slightly. Since ancient times, the King of Hades has always been kind to him, and little ghosts are difficult to deal with, so Tang Qing always speaks politely to them, otherwise they will trip you up when you do something. , can be a toss.

"I just asked you to find out where there are shops for sale."

"That's it. Have you seen the tooth shop behind the yamen? There is a place that sells slaves, livestock, shops, etc. In short, you will know when you go there." The tall and thin yamen servant said to Tang Qing.

The fatter one was not happy, and said: "What are you talking about, I will accompany Brother Qing for a walk, there are people of all kinds of teachings and high-levels everywhere, what should Brother Qing do if he is deceived?"

"Then I would like to thank this little brother." Tang Qing saw that they were so caring, and he was happy and worried that there was no one to lead the way.

Along the way, the chubby yamen servant kept talking: "Young man Qing, don't call me brother or brother. My name is Liu Shikang. I live in the same village as your second brother-in-law. My two older brothers and I My sister-in-law is working in your factory, as long as you don't mind calling me Kang Ge."

The relationship belongs to the village of the second sister and the others. Tang Qing understands, no wonder this Liu Shikang winks at him every time he sees him. Before, he always thought that there was something wrong with his eyes. It's big.

"You are really good at it, my daughter-in-law now embroiders sachets for your second sister every day, and you can earn hundreds of copper coins a month. Life at home is much better." Liu Shikang is a chatterbox, and he can't hold back when he meets acquaintances. up.

"I think you will make a lot of achievements in the future. You are much better than those big families in the town. I said before that you don't come to the town to develop. If you come, you will be less than one You must have worked in those households in our town for two years."

Tang Qing blushed a little after being praised by him, so he could only follow behind him and politely said: "Where is it, it can't be compared."

The big families he mentioned in the town are nothing more than the four families of Zhao, Sun, Liu, and Chen. These four families have been in the town for more than a hundred years. How can Tang Qing, a little Xiami, compare to them now? Liu Shikang's words are incredible It was a little flattering.

"Let me tell you, don't be afraid. Recently, the Sun's family's food has problems, and the funds cannot be turned over. They go to the yamen every day to ask the magistrate to do something. The magistrate is also very crazy about this. You go to the town to do it now. The business may be able to kill him."

When Liu Shikang spoke, he quickly looked around, and his voice became much quieter.

Tang Qing became interested, and couldn't help gossiping: "What happened to the Sun family, it gave the county master a headache."

Liu Shikang stopped, pulled Tang Qing to a corner, and looked around like a thief.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Qing knew that something serious had happened. Even Zhou Qing couldn't detect something was wrong. He frowned and pulled Tang Qing's clothes to signal him not to get involved in this matter.

"Brother Kang, if it's inconvenient, don't talk about it. I just don't listen. Don't worry, I won't reveal a word when I go back." Tang Qing also felt that Zhou Qing's worry was not unreasonable. If you get involved, don't get involved. If you get involved too much, you will suffer.

Liu Shikang looked at Tang Qing's sensible appearance, no wonder he was able to make a lot of money, look at this ability to turn around immediately when the situation is wrong, much better than those people who are trying to get their words out of their mouths.

Ever since the Sun family came to the yamen every day, the other three families couldn't sit still, they came to the yamen one after another to find out what happened to the Sun family. The magistrate repeatedly asked them not to tell the story.

If the news leaks out, everyone in the yamen can't afford to walk around. Losing a position is a small matter, but losing a head is a big deal. They put their heads on their belts every day, and everyone in the yamen keeps their mouths shut.

But if this matter is not resolved, people will find out sooner or later. Their teeth are so tight that anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem, and they have already started to inquire about it in private.

It won't be long to hide it anymore, if this matter is not resolved, the entire yamen will be ruined.

This Sun Shikang is also in a hurry, he managed to catch up with such an errand and would lose his head within two years of doing it, he is not reconciled, everyone wants to survive.

Those who have connections are looking for connections to transfer, and those who have money are starting to go through the back door to see if there is any other way to escape. Only those like him who want connections, it doesn't matter, money and no money can only wait bitterly.

Life is on the line, so he can't help but not be in a hurry, until he saw Tang Qing just now, he didn't think that maybe he could ask him for help, the worst thing is to ask his friend of the Marquis to help him, so that he can escape this catastrophe, so He tentatively said a word or two to Tang Qing just now.

Seeing that Liu Shikang had been silent for a long time, Tang Qing knew that this matter was serious and completely died of his gossip. As long as he didn't get involved, he didn't care about other people's affairs.

"Brother Qing, to be honest, I want to ask you for help." Liu Shikang said to Tang Qing after a long silence.

This matter has been suppressed in his heart for so long, even his family members dare not tell them, for fear that they will also become frightened.

Tang Qing felt that it was a bit tricky. Even an officer like Liu Shikang couldn't avoid it, so how could he help him.

"Could it be that you and the Sun family did something outrageous?" Tang Qing really couldn't think of anything that would make a yamen servant come to him for help.

Could it be that what he did in collusion with the Sun family was about to be known by the county magistrate, so he came here to ask for help?

"No, no, I'm just an ordinary yamen servant who can do something outrageous. It's the Sun family who wants to drag the whole yamen into the water." Liu Shikang said that he could no longer suppress his emotions, with a look of grief and indignation on his face, He gritted his teeth when he mentioned the word 'Sun Family'.

Tang Qing was shocked. A mere Sun family could drag the Yamen into the water. Could it be that there was some stronger force behind him.

Liu Shikang stamped his feet, slammed his hand on the wall behind him angrily, and said sadly: "I won't hide the matter from you now, if you have a way to do this, it's great, if you can't, please ask more." Help take care of my family, for the sake of their work."

"Talk to me first. It would be great if there is a way to save it. If it involves too much, I can't do anything." Tang Qing didn't know what to say. Where to go to whom to reason.

"There was a problem with the grain of the Sun's family, and it was flooded in Lincheng, but he pretended nothing happened and brought it back. He had some friendship with the magistrate and said that a batch was flooded, so he gave some money to the family. The magistrate, ask the magistrate to exchange a batch of relief food for him." Liu Shikang said that his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the Sun family.

Relief food?Both Tang Qing and Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with determination.This can be regarded as a lucky secret of the government. If this kind of corruption and bribery is known to the prefect, they will not kill people to silence it.

"Don't be afraid, you two, this is not a secret thing in the Yamen." Liu Shikang saw Tang Qing's eyes retreated and knew they were afraid, so he comforted them.

"This is not the most hateful thing. Just a few days after the food was replaced, the Sun family came to the door and said there was still another batch. This time, the quantity requested was huge, and almost the entire county's disaster relief food had to be exchanged. "

"Where is the magistrate willing to do such a big thing? How could the Sun family shamelessly say that if the magistrate disagrees, the matter of exchanging food will be revealed. This matter will completely irritate the magistrate." Liu Shikang said again. He hit the wall once, and he didn't feel any pain even his hands were bleeding.

"This should be a matter between the magistrate and the Sun's family. It has nothing to do with you." Zhou Qing's brows were frowned.Hearing these dirty things done by the magistrate of this county with my own ears, I feel extremely uncomfortable.

When I dealt with the magistrate before, I thought the magistrate was pretty good, but I didn't expect that he was a bad embryo who was greedy and perverted the law. He actually colluded with the Sun family to exchange the relief food. No wonder the government doesn't do anything when there are natural disasters and man-made disasters. , All the food was greedy for them.

"Exchanging food is such a big thing, how can the magistrate do it alone? Naturally, the whole yamen is involved. The weather has been good in the past few years, and the food for disaster relief has been stored for a long time. It's okay to change a batch, but the whole It would be different if it was replaced.”

Liu Shikang was also angry in his heart. He thought it would be okay to change everyone to earn some extra money, but he didn't expect that the Sun family was so shameless that they wanted to drag everyone to hell together.

"Since the disaster relief food is not as good as it is, it's better to exchange it with the Sun family." Tang Qing also frowned tightly.

"It's not that easy. Lincheng is severely affected by the disaster. The county magistrate is afraid that the higher-ups will borrow food from us. If we can't get the food, how will we explain it?" Liu Shikang shook his head.

Tang Qing was at his wit's end, but Zhou Qing said, "Why don't you just buy a new batch of the bad food you exchanged and fill it in, so you won't be afraid of the Sun family's tricks."

Liu Shikang smiled wryly again: "I've thought about it too. Now that there are floods in the south, many places have suffered. There is no harvest. Now there is a shortage of food. Even if you have money, you can't buy such a large amount of food."

"The most difficult thing is not to let the Sun family know about this matter. If the Sun family's dog jumps over the wall when the time comes to buy grain on a large scale, wouldn't it be a failure?"

"It's not okay, that's not okay. You shouldn't have done such careless things in the first place." Zhou Qing was angry and anxious, but he couldn't vent it, and his tone of speech was a little aggressive.

"It's too late to say anything now. The Sun family is determined to trick us. In a few days, as soon as his food stock is sold out, and the magistrate doesn't agree to exchange the food, he will make it public." Watching the time step by step Liu Shikang's anxiety became more and more serious.

If the group of grandchildren of the Sun family escaped this catastrophe, they insisted on making their family look good and doing all these things to cut off their children and grandchildren. If they didn't swallow their breath, even ghosts would not let them go.

Tang Qing had a way in his heart to get food without anyone noticing, but why should he help this magistrate who met by chance.

"I'll think of a way to do this when I go back. I can't think of a good way for a while." After the three of them were silent for a while, Tang Qing spoke first.

Although he sympathized with Liu Shikang who was affected by Yuchi, but their current friendship has not reached the point where they have paid so much for each other.

Liu Shikang bowed his head silently after hearing this, even the magistrate was almost turning gray, how could Tang Qing have a good idea at this moment.Or if you don't say it, you may lose any hope of survival.

Among the people he knew, only Tang Qing could be regarded as the most powerful person, so he pinned all his hopes on him.

"In any case, thank you very much. I, Liu Shikang, have sold my life to you. As long as I can escape this calamity, I, Liu Shikang, will not even frown." Liu Shikang patted his chest and assured Tang Qing road.

Tang Qing looked at the sky, it was too late after such a delay, and today's business hadn't been done yet, so he said, "I can only do my best, don't hold out too much hope, well, it's not early today, I haven't visited the shop yet Woolen cloth."

Liu Shikang remembered that Tang Qing's business was not finished yet, adjusted his emotions, and said to Tang Qing: "Let's go, I'm here, and I promise not to let those prostitutes and prostitutes fool you."

At the back of the Yamen, there is a street called Yahang Street, the outermost one sells livestock here, the smell is a bit strong, but there are all kinds of livestock, horses, cows, mules, donkeys.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy a horse?" Tang Qing and the others arrived here when a particularly winky Yalang came. He saw that Tang Qing and Zhou Qing were well dressed, so he might as well come up and ask.

"Zhang Ermo, you didn't see me here, you dare to come up to solicit customers, go and go, we have to deal with business." Liu Shikang stepped forward and stopped Zhang Ermo, he smelled so strong that Tang Qing would not alright.

Seeing Liu Shikang, Zhang Ermo immediately flattered him and said, "I said there will be rare visitors today, so it's you, Liu Yamen servant."

"You kid can play tricks. These two are my distinguished guests. After you see clearly, don't collide, or you will have good fruit to eat." Liu Shikang glared at Zhang Ermo, and told him about Tang Qing and Zhou Qing.

"It turned out to be the honored guest of Liu Yamen's servant. I lost my mind, you two, don't blame me, don't blame me." After listening to Liu Shikang's words, Zhang Ermo nodded and bowed to Tang Qing and Zhou Qing, looking even more obsequious.

Tang Qing nodded to him and didn't say a word. It was considered that he knew such a person. It just so happened that he wanted to buy a bullock cart recently, otherwise it would be bad to keep borrowing someone else's.

"Come on, it's none of your business." Liu Shikang waved Zhang Ermo away, and continued walking inside with Tang Qing and Zhou Qing.

The shops they passed along the way kept yelling, expecting Tang Qing and the others to stop and come in to have a look, but with Zhang Ermo's lessons learned, they dared not come up to pull people, so they could only pretend to yell twice.

"Mrs. Wu, are you there?" Liu Shikang led Tang Qing, Zhou Qing and the others to a small facade at the end of the street.Compared with the previous big shops that are usually only a few people wide, this shop is indeed a bit small, only one person wide.

Following Liu Shikang's shout, an old woman with silver hair came out. She seemed to be about six or seven years old, but she was walking like flying. She walked up to Liu Shikang very quickly and said with a smile, "I don't know if Liu Shikang is here. I'm sorry." Yuan Ying also hopes to forgive me."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to be so polite today." Liu Shikang waved his hand impatiently.

"I don't know why Master Liu is here." Mrs. Wu still smiled and said to Liu Shikang, but her eyes looked back and forth between Tang Qing, Zhou Qing and the two of them several times.

Liu Shikang tugged at Tang Qing and Zhou Qing and said: "This is my distinguished guest. They want to buy a shop in this town. You have to choose carefully for them. In terms of price..."

"Master Liu, don't worry, I don't dare to treat the people you brought here badly. It's too late to entertain you." Mrs. Wu welcomed Tang Qing and Zhou Qing into the shop as she spoke.

The shop is not big, only about ten square meters, with an Eight Immortals table in the middle, and calligraphy and paintings are hung on the surrounding walls, giving people a book atmosphere.

Tang Qing, Zhou Qing and Liu Shikang were sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals. Mrs. Wu poured them a cup of tea each. The tea was fragrant and good tea from a distance.

"You're a good woman, and you know how to serve her with good tea." Liu Shikang took a sip of the tea and said to Mrs. Wu with satisfaction.

Mrs. Wu laughed dryly and said: "Look at what Master Liu said, how dare I neglect your honored guest with those crude teas."

Tang Qing heard Mrs. Wu's words, and looked around, and sure enough, she saw three different teapots on a small table.Only the teapot in Mrs. Wu's hand looks taller, and the other two again.

It seems that Mrs. Wu is also a shrewd person, and she knows how to share tea with others.Otherwise, Liu Shikang might have been tricked today. I don't know.

"I don't know what kind of shop the two masters want." After drinking tea, Mrs. Wu was the first to ask.

"The location doesn't need to be too good, but it shouldn't be too far away. It's better to have enough space." Tang Qing thought for a while and said, because the family has a serious lack of space because of the purchase of mountain goods, this time it is going to buy from the entire Wenshui Town. No way.

Mrs. Wu picked out a book from the cabinet, rummaged through it and said, "There is a shop here that meets my requirements, brother, let's see if it suits me."

As soon as Mrs. Wu heard what Tang Qing said, she knew that he was the one in charge, so she handed the account book to Tang Qing without even looking at Zhou Qing.

Tang Qing took a look at the booklet. It showed a shop on it, and there was a note beside it which street Duo Da Kuan was located on.

"No, it's still not big enough." He shook his head and said, this shop looks pretty good, but it's too small at about fifty square meters.

After hearing the words, Mrs. Wu turned over two more and showed them to Tang Qing, but Tang Qing refused them all, because they were too small to store things.

"It's not big enough." Mrs. Wu had already shown Tang Qing the largest shop, but Tang Qing still said it was too small. Could it be that this kid was playing tricks on him.

Mrs. Wu glanced at Liu Shikang, seeing that Zhang Shikang was sitting by the side all the time, drinking tea silently, she murmured in her heart, if she wanted to play tricks on her, why bother? One got off his horse.

It seems that this kid wants to buy a shop on purpose, but even the largest shop can't get his eyes, so there is nothing suitable.

Mrs. Wu's mind was spinning rapidly, and she flipped through the book unconsciously. Suddenly, he turned to a page, had an idea in his mind, and said to Tang Qing: "My little brother, even the biggest shop here can't enter you. My Dharma Eye, but..."

Tang Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard what she said in front of him. He couldn't be so unlucky. There is not even a big shop in such a big town. After hearing Mrs. Wu's pause behind him, he knew there was still something to do, and asked: "But what?"

"But this shop is gone, but there is a house." Mrs. Wu put the page she just turned in front of Tang Qing.

Tang Qing saw that it was really good. This house is not far from the gate of the town, and the flow of people is relatively large. The key is that the space inside is spacious enough, and it is a good place.Tang Qing showed Zhou Qing the brochure again, and Zhou Qing thought it was pretty good, so he nodded.

"How do you sell this house?" Although there is no shop as I expected, this house is not bad, and after tidying up, you can still put tables and chairs in front of the house to receive goods.

Seeing that there is a good business, Mrs. Wu said with a happy smile: "Look at what this little brother said, you are someone who was brought by Master Liu, and you will never make money from you. The price is 600 taels."

Tang Qing immediately calculated the price in his heart, compared the location, the materials used in this house, not to mention 600 taels is quite a bargain, such a large house almost has an acre of land, and it is not cheap to build a house, right? .

"Your price is too expensive, please lower it." Seeing Tang Qing's silence, Liu Shikang thought he thought this house was expensive, and snorted at Mrs. Wu.

Seeing Liu Shikang's displeased eyes, Mrs. Wu naturally did not dare to disobey, and said, "Since Mr. Zhang said so, the old lady will give you another 100 taels less."

Tang Qing was overjoyed, Zhang Shikang could save 100 taels of silver with just one word, it was a wise choice to bring him here today, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face, and said lightly: "Then do as you say. "

Mrs. Wu's smile was a bit forced. Today Liu Shikang lost 100 taels of silver with this sentence. Although this house still made a little profit, it was far from 100 taels.But because of his status, he had to obey, otherwise they would come to her door every few days to make trouble for her, would she still want to do this business.

Mrs. Wu took out the house deed, as long as Tang Qing signed it, pressed his fingerprints, and paid the bank note, the house would completely belong to Tang Qing.

"Don't rush to sign, let's go and see the house." Liu Shikang looked at Tang Qing's hand that was about to be pressed down, and reminded again.

Tang Qing thought about it, and it was too hasty to sign the house before seeing it.

"Master Zhang doesn't trust me, my wife." Mrs. Wu was a little displeased. She has been in business for so many years, and she has never been deceitful. No one in the neighborhood said her Mrs. Wu was bad. She felt a little angry when Liu Shikang distrusted her so much. .

Liu Shikang smiled disdainfully: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this is a guest I brought. If there is something wrong, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to me?"

Seeing that Liu Shikang was about to get angry, Mrs. Wu lost her temper. If she can't bear it a little, she will make a big mess. She just put up with it today.

"Okay, both of you don't get angry, as long as there is no problem with the house, I will sign and pay immediately." Tang Qing is in a good mood today and doesn't mind being a peacemaker.

No matter how unwilling Mrs. Wu was, she couldn't twist her thigh with her arm, so she took the house key and went to the house at the gate of the town.

The house looks pretty good, and it's clean and tidy inside, because Mrs. Wu should have sent someone over to clean it often.

"Brother, please take a look. The house in our hands is clean, and nothing bad has happened before. There are people here all the year round to clean it. If there is something bad, it will be repaired in time." Mrs. Wu explained to Tang Qing suppressing her anger.

Zhou Qing looked around and nodded to Tang Qing, saying that he didn't see anything wrong.

"Okay, take out the title deed." Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, Tang Qing immediately signed the contract.

Mrs. Wu took the bank note and reluctantly left. She didn't earn much money today, and she was very angry.

"Thanks to having you today, otherwise I wouldn't know how much money I would have spent." Tang Qing still thanked Liu Shikang.

Although they were very disgusted with what the magistrate did, it was not Liu Shikang's fault. They had to listen to him in everything after eating the prefect's meal.If the magistrate wanted to embezzle, they had no choice but to follow suit.

"What are you being polite about? Speaking of that matter, I hope you will take a lot of trouble." Liu Shikang lost the arrogance just now, and became decadent again.

Tang Qing patted him on the shoulder and gave him encouragement: "I will definitely find a way for you when I go back."

Liu Shikang waved his hand and left here, only Zhou Qing and Tang Qing were left in the house.

Zhou Qing closed the courtyard door neatly before asking Tang Qing in a low voice, "You want to help this Liu Shikang?"

Tang Qing stood aside and did not answer Zhou Qing's words, but bowed his head and thought about something.

Zhou Qing walked around Tang Qing in a hurry, and he couldn't publicize this kind of thing loudly, so he could only say again: "Can you do things that the prefect can't do anything about? Where are you going to get a batch of them without knowing it? Food comes out."

Tang Qing lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Qing'er, you forgot that I still have a friend."

"What kind of friend?" Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment. He knew all of Tang Qing's friends. Cheng Ziyu and the others were not in the grain business. And the quantity is still so large.

Tang Qing tidied up some messy clothes on his body. They smelled foul. It must be because it was too hot today, and he passed by the place where livestock was sold, and the smell was picked up. He must wash it well when he goes back.

Now Tang Qing misses his past life a little bit. At least there is an air conditioner blowing in summer, so he doesn’t have to suffer so much. He can also wear shorts and shorts, unlike now that he can’t show his chest and belly. People can't breathe.

Zhou Qing couldn't figure out where Tang Qing still had a friend, so he kept asking Tang Qing: "Where do you have a friend, why don't I know."

"Little fool, have you forgotten the things I brought home last year? You usually have a good memory, so why did you forget about this?" Tang Qing said, knocking Zhou Qing on the head.

"You mean..."
