Yipin Farmer

When Ting Hui came back from delivering goods in the city, his lunch was ready and placed under the big pagoda tree. There was a pot of chicken blood soup, steamed buns with mixed noodles, fried loofah, and a plate of braised chicken offal.

Baoqi picked up a thin object from the soup bowl and asked, "What is this?"

"This is chicken intestines."

"Can you eat chicken intestines?"

"Of course it's edible, it's very chewy."

"I don't want to eat." Baoqi committed the young master's fault.

"Young Master Kuo doesn't know how hard it is to make a living, so he'll fail if he doesn't eat it." Ting Shuang didn't bother to coax him, put a bowl of chicken livers by itself, and said to Ping An: "I'll take this bowl of chicken livers to Grandma Sun later. night blindness."

Baoqi stared at him with a sullen face, but after staring for a long time, he didn't see any response, so she had to pick up chopsticks to eat again.In addition to chicken blood, chicken blood soup also has chicken liver and chicken intestines, with green coriander floating in it, and a little pepper sprinkled on it. It is fragrant and slightly spicy. Although it is cheap, it is still very appetizing.

After dinner, Ting Shuang took Baoqi to the upstream Tianshui Village to buy fry.Baoqi didn't want to go, so she said: "You go to buy fish fry, Xiaohui and Pingan are going to the field, and there is no one at home, so I'll stay and watch the house. I can feed the chickens and herd the sheep."

"Do you know how to herd sheep?"

"I promise to take good care of the sheep." Baoqi nodded fiercely, "If you can't feed the sheep well, you take care of me."

"What am I going to do with you?" Ting Shuang looked contemptuously, "You can't squeeze milk from your body."

"Hahaha..." Ting Hui and Pingan laughed and fell to the ground.

Baoqi's handsome face flushed, and she clenched her fists: "You always bully me."

"What does it mean to always bully you?" Ting Shuang retorted, "I only bullied you twice today."

"How many more times do you want to bully me?" Baoqi yelled at him angrily.But he had no choice but to follow him obediently to buy fish fry.

Ting Shuang put the straw hat on his head: "Don't tan your pretty face."

In the afternoon, the mountain village is peaceful and quiet. There are many fruits hanging on the fruit trees, all kinds of wild flowers are blooming all over the mountains and plains, covered with green meadows, and the aroma of flowers, plants and green leaves hits the nose.Bees are buzzing, butterflies are fluttering, and mountain birds are chirping in the treetops.Everything is full of vitality.

A group of wild boys lined up at the head of the bridge facing the river. Baoqi didn't know what they were doing, so she stretched her neck curiously.

Ting Shuang laughed and said, "They're shooting targets."

It turned out that several wild boys lined up to shoot farther than anyone else's chick.Several streams of water poured into the river together, with a long range and a high arc, crashing like a small waterfall, which is very spectacular.

"Stinky boys, you have made the river dirty, so I won't take care of you."

The boys scattered like birds and beasts, and Ting Shuang caught the last one in the shape of a big bad wolf, and flicked the broiler chicken a few times: "I call you Tao."

Baoqi lay on the railing of the bridge and looked at her with a smile: "It's the joy of the farmhouse without thinking or worrying."

The fry are bought and put directly into the rice fields.Small fish wagging their tails and swimming among the green rice seedlings, the free look makes people happy to watch.

"It's really interesting." Baoqi didn't blink her eyes. "Will the fish eat the rice seedlings?"

"If the management is not good, the fish will eat the rice seedlings." Ting Shuang said, "When the rice leaves are far away from the water, the rice seedlings are not as tender as the green grass, and the grass carp will not jump up to eat the rice seedlings when they are full. Grass carp also eat bran , pests, duckweed and so on. It's so big..." Ting Shuang gestured to an area of ​​about one square meter, "Put two grass carp to control the growth of weeds, and the poop can be used as fertilizer."

"It's really famous." Baoqi sighed.

"Everything is learned." Ting Shuang concluded.

In the evening, Baoqi made a request again, wanting to sleep in a room by herself, the reason is that there are so many people sleeping on the kang that there is a lot of noise.

"There is no spare room, the proposal is rejected." Ting Shuang flatly refused.Although Dad Meng asked someone to renovate the house, only the empty shelves on the outside are good-looking, and the inside is still very empty without much furniture.

Ting Shuang was lying on the kang happily, thinking about the scene of full rice in autumn, harvesting fish and raising ducks, as long as he worked hard, he would be fine in the future.Unexpectedly, something happened to Tinghui when he went to the city to deliver goods.

Ting Hui goes into the city to deliver goods every day before dawn. First, he delivers roast chicken and fresh vegetables to Huiyuan Building. The car is also loaded with vegetables from Aunt Zhou’s yard, which are a little inferior compared to his own. Restaurant, and then took the empty car home.This time, after delivering the goods, they were stopped by the diners in the restaurant.

The man was dressed in silk and satin, and called Ting Hui: "Hey, slow down, brother, I have something to say."

Ting Hui stopped and listened to him.The man asked the clerk to add some good dishes for him to drink, and chatted slowly with him, and the more we talked, the more we became acquainted.Said: "My surname is Feng, and I opened a tavern in the east of the city. Yichun Building is my name. I think you have an extraordinary appearance, but how do you do this kind of work?"

Ting Hui had no education on the honor of labor, so he felt very humiliated, and said vaguely, "It's hard to explain the misfortune of the family."

Boss Feng said: "I think the son has an extraordinary appearance and bearing, and he is definitely not someone in the pool. As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely make a lot of money."

These words were right in Ting Hui's heart. He always thought he was great, but unfortunately he had to be aggrieved to farm in the countryside due to bad luck. How could a person like him be aggrieved for the rest of his life?

Let out a sigh of underappreciated talent: "Oh, where is the chance?"

"There is an opportunity, do you want to take it?"

"What?" Ting Hui cheered up.

"I have a good way to get money quickly. It saves effort and doesn't cost money and it comes quickly. I need a partner. I see that you are very handsome, and you look like the son of a phoenix, so I want to borrow your blessing."

Ting Hui was dazed by the flattery, and felt that luck had come, so he agreed immediately, and made an appointment to meet at the same place the next day.

Back home, Tingshuang said excitedly.

Ting Shuang frowned when she heard that, the money-making method that saves effort and is quick and cost-effective is not necessarily legitimate, and improper ways of earning money cannot be followed.

Ting Hui disagreed and said, "I'm not a child anymore, and I still can't tell the right from the wrong. Don't worry, I will never do anything illegal or immoral. Besides, don't you often say that once the opportunity comes Now, do you want to grab it? Now the opportunity is here, why not grab it?"

On the second day, I picked out the good clothes from the camphor wood box and put them on. I thought they were very stylish, but unfortunately there was no mirror.Then as scheduled, I went to Huiyuan Building to find Boss Feng.

Boss Feng received him graciously, first had dinner together, and then went to a bathhouse to take a good soak, and after the work was done, the waiter serviced him skillfully to wash his face, comb his hair and change his clothes.

Ting Hui was already handsome, and after taking a comfortable bath in the pool all afternoon, his face was puffed with powder, and he was wearing a satin robe with brocade orchid grass and dark flowers, a piece of red agate on the forehead of his hat, and Wearing emerald green emerald fingers, and a gold thread purse around his waist, he looks like a handsome young man.

Boss Feng looked left and right, and was very satisfied: "Originally, the young master has an extraordinary bearing, but this way of dressing up, he is full of extravagance. Those who don't know, who don't think of you as a grandson, this natural rich young master, others It cannot be learned."

Received the compliment, Ting Hui looked in the mirror in a fluttering manner, and was also very proud.Ask: "What do you want me to do?"

"You'll know when you go, it's a good thing anyway."

Boss Feng pulled him into a green-veiled tung oil carriage, and went directly to a place full of feasting and feasting. This place was Yichunlou, the largest brothel in the county. It turned out that Feng was the owner of this brothel.

It was just when the lights came on, and the girls in the building were all dressed up to attract guests, and there were also a few women at the table of Ting Hui and Su Peng serving drinks.

Ting Hui has high vision and looks down on these women.Boss Feng knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "These girls outside are all vulgar and vulgar fans, so naturally they can't catch the eyes of the young master. The real oiran is inside."

"Who is it?" Ting Hui regained his spirits immediately.

"The oiran of this Yichun Courtyard is called Yue Zhongxian. She looks so alluring, and she won't be compared in the provincial capital. Every night, there are many rich young men who come to join her. If you have more heads, you can be the guest of honor. Look, that Mr. Hu has long been fascinated, and he insists on being Miss Yue's honored guest. You can compare him to him."

Ting Hui looked over, and there was indeed a handsome young man sitting on the next table. The ruby ​​on the ring was as big as a pigeon's egg, the jade on the hat was crystal clear and beautiful, and his whole body showed "I'm rich".

Boss Feng said: "Today is Miss Yue's day, please do me a favor. After Miss Yue finishes playing the piano, these young masters will give you money. All you have to do is wait for these young masters to ask for the price. Just raise the price. At that time, your benefits will be indispensable."

Ting Hui understood, in fact, this was acting as a "trust", helping the brothel to raise the girl's money.It is also because he looks like a noble son, so I asked him to act.Being a "trust" is not illegal, nor is it against morality. These dandies have plenty of money, so if they don't kill them, they will kill anyone.

Ting Hui made up his mind and agreed.

At this time, Yue Zhongxian appeared on the stage covered with a red veil, graceful and graceful, graceful and graceful, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience. After playing the song "Spring River Flower Night", the young masters and masters in the audience applauded.The next step is to bid, whoever bids the highest price will be able to open the bud for her.

A servant shouted: "Master Huang from my family paid 500 taels of silver."

Immediately, a servant in green clothes beside Ting Hui shouted, "Master Meng pays 600 taels." He said and brought out the silver.

All the people in the audience looked at this side, Ting Hui proudly enjoyed the feeling of being watched, and waved the folding fan in his hand, as if he had returned to the time when he was a rich young master who was flattered all the time.

Yue Zhongxian asked for a squatting: "Thank you, Young Master Meng."

"Mr. Hu pays 800 taels." The servant of Mr. Hu at the next table also shouted.

The Moon Fairy is blessed again: "Thank you, Young Master Hu, for the reward."

Immediately, a servant shouted, "Young Master Meng gave Moon Girl 1000 taels of silver."

A servant then shouted: "Young Master Hu sent Moon Girl a hundred taels of gold."

Immediately, everyone in the audience was amazed, watching Ting Hui bid with that Mr. Hu, and finally the money soared to 200 taels of gold.

When the show was over, it was already past the third watch. Ting Hui came out of the brothel hiccupping. The carriage was ready outside the door, and the servant helped him into the carriage.

The coachman raised his whip and drove the car straight out of the city.

After leaving the city, the horse pulling the cart tripped suddenly, and Ting Hui fell out of the cart.

"What's going on?" Ting Hui rubbed his head and got up from the ground.

A tall and burly man in black clothes stood in front of him like a black iron tower, and the coachman also jumped out of the car and blocked behind him.

"What are you going to do?" Ting Hui realized that something was wrong, and shrank into a ball in fright.

"I want to borrow some money from you."

Ting Hui trembled in fright: "You two heroes, I have no money..."

"No money? If you don't have money, you go to the yard to prostitute girls? You're rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and you dare to say that you have no money. Our buddies are after you." The big man picked him up viciously, shaking his thick fist.

Ting Hui was terrified, and said, "I really have no money, the money is not mine."

The two big men naturally didn't believe it: "Where is your home, let your family take the money."

Ting Hui was so frightened that his bones were so frightened that his eldest brother knew it was worth it, so he hurriedly begged: "My family lives in Sanhua Village, thirty miles outside the city, and we farm for a living, so we really have no money."

"Hmph." A young gentleman got off a carriage and walked up to him, "I thought whose young master was so arrogant and dared to argue with Hu Junxian, but he turned out to be a mud leg."

Ting Hui understood that he met a ghost after walking too much at night, and this time he encountered revenge, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Boss Feng wanted me to pretend to be a valuable guest and put up the money. I didn't mean to offend Young Master Hu. Your lord There are a lot, please forgive me this time."

Young Master Hu looked at it with contempt: "It turned out to be an embroidered grass bag, teach him a lesson."
