Jiang Qingshi went into the town early the next morning with his own old books. He didn't have No. 11 time to take them to the yamen to exchange for 100 taels. Instead, he sat down at a food stall around the yamen and ordered a bowl of wontons to eat slowly. , take a look by the way.

He always felt that since many people knew that the book on dam construction was very valuable, he went in and took out 100 taels. He probably couldn’t keep it. .

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jiang Qingshi to find a few bastards with fleshy faces around him. These people are all well-known bastards in the town. They dare to do anything except kill people. body.

Jiang Qingshi felt that these people were no different from a group of greedy jackals to him now. After thinking about it, he put down two pennies and went to the most famous restaurant in the town, Yanchun Tower.

"Shopkeeper Chen, has my father been here?" Jiang Qingshi walked up to the counter familiarly, and asked the old man standing behind the counter with his abacus.

"You are?" The old man is quite energetic, and his memory is also very good. He quickly remembered who he was in front of him, "Is there a rich boy?"

Jiang Qingshi met shopkeeper Chen once when he was 15 years old. That time his father went out to pick up the goods, and he had not returned home after dark, so he found here to ask according to his mother's dictation.I haven't seen him since then, and the number of times increased in the last year of my last life, which is why Jiang Qingshi is so familiar.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper still remembered him.

"Yes, my father is Jiang Youcai." Jiang Qingshi said with a smile, "Master Chen, I came here once two years ago, I didn't expect you to remember it."

"Remember, the old man can still forget you. Your father is my brother. You can call me Uncle Chen."

"Okay, uncle, is my father here?"

"No, it's only noon, and your father won't come here to rest until later."

"That's it, alas, then I'd better go home first." Jiang Qingshi pretended to be in a hurry and didn't want to bother others.

He knew that given the relationship between shopkeeper Chen and his father, shopkeeper Chen would definitely be willing to help him, and 100 taels was not a small amount in his opinion, but it was nothing to shopkeeper Chen. There are more than twenty taels, and as the shopkeeper, he gets much more in dividends than this.

"Hey, big nephew, are you in a hurry?" Shopkeeper Chen asked him as expected. Fortunately, Jiang Qingshi came early enough and the restaurant was not busy, otherwise shopkeeper Chen might not be able to take care of him.

"Uncle, how do you know? I was looking for my dad for something, but my dad didn't come until this afternoon, so..."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up, are you?" Shopkeeper Chen led him to the corner of the hall near the door, and asked Xiao Er to serve two plates of dim sum, "Come on, have some dim sum. Tell me if you have anything to do. I'll give it to you." You are a staff officer."

Jiang Qingshi thanked him, ate a piece of snack, and said, "Uncle, am I going to marry a wife? I need money urgently. I know my father can make money, but... I still feel that I have to make some money. Finally At least, I have to pay for the medicine my daughter-in-law takes, right?"

Shopkeeper Chen thought, he wants to marry a man, it’s no wonder that the pregnancy pill doesn’t hurt after taking it, and he can’t complain about taking medicine. came out?), asked: "You say that, do you think of a way to make money?"

"Yes, I know that the yamen is looking for books on water conservancy. Books on dams are worth a lot of money."

"That's right, I also know about it." Shopkeeper Chen nodded, affirmed the news, and then reacted, "Do you have such a book at home?"

"That's right, it was given by my former wife. He just said it was for me to learn more and understand."

"That's really lucky, this book is worth 120 taels of silver."

"Really? But, I just went to check at the gate of the yamen, and Wang Dachong and the others are guarding it. I'm a little embarrassed. Don't let them take the money with my front foot. Isn't it just a loss to my wife?" Broken soldiers?"

"Yo, okay, big nephew, I can't see that you are quite smart and smart." Shopkeeper Chen boasted that Jiang Qingshi was embarrassed, and shopkeeper Chen smiled for a long time before saying, "Okay, don't worry, rest assured and wait." a little while."

Shopkeeper Chen beckoned and called a waiter, "Linzi, take the food for the yamen, go to the yamen, come with Mayor Qin, and tell him that I have something good to see him."

Xiao Er responded happily, and soon went to the yamen with a few big food boxes. In fact, the official who came from somewhere in the town was just a low-rank official promoted by the county magistrate, but this Xingyu The mayor of the town is the younger brother of the magistrate, so he is quite powerful.

While waiting for Mayor Qin to come over, the restaurant became busy, so the shopkeeper Chen had no choice but to go back behind the counter to collect the money. At noon, Mayor Qin entered the restaurant leisurely.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what do you want me for?" Although Mayor Qin has an elder brother who is a magistrate, he is not a forceful person.

"Mayor Qin, Lao Chen, I am thinking of you. I know you have troubles recently. No, here comes someone to help you relieve your worries." Lao Chen pointed to Jiang Qingshi who had been sitting there and hadn't changed places.

"Really?"

As he said that, Mayor Qin wanted to find him, but Lao Chen quickly grabbed him, "Hey, this man has a lot of eyes and is easy to be seen by others. If other local officials find out, you can... ..”

"Then tell me, what should we do? If this is done, I will definitely thank you." Mayor Qin thought about it carefully, but this is the case. He has sent people to other places, so others may be watching with him.

"You go to the second floor first, the innermost private room, wait for a while, I will let that person go up to find you, do you think so?"

"Success, then I'll go up, you see the timing and let him come up, it's a big deal." Mayor Qin also emphasized his tone, showing that he attaches great importance to this matter.

About half an hour after Mayor Qin went up, a waiter brought Jiang Qingshi to the door of the last private room on the second floor.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in."

Mayor Qin saw that it was indeed the young man that shopkeeper Chen pointed out just now, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "Do you have books on water conservancy?"

Jiang Qingshi bowed and said: "Student Jiang Qingshi has met the mayor. The student does have a book on water conservancy, but it is not what the mayor wants. I still have to let you take a look."

The mayor thought it was quite strange. This man looked quite young, but he spoke in an orderly manner. "Okay, show me."

Jiang Qingshi directly took out a cup of books and handed them to Mayor Qin. Mayor Qin took a look at the writing, was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Qingshi carefully, and then carefully read the contents of the book, and found that it was indeed something he had been looking for recently. Mayor Qin had joy in his eyes, "Hahaha, it seems that I am really lucky."

Jiang Qingshi didn't answer the words, but quietly waited for Mayor Qin to regain his senses. After all, Mayor Qin had seen the world, so he calmed down quickly, "Do you have the original in your hand?"

It turned out that Jiang Qingshi was afraid that the mayor would not accept the book after taking it, so he copied another copy, but it was in his original style of writing, and it was not old-fashioned. Transcript." Pointing to the book in Mayor Qin's hand.

"My boy, let me tell you why you gave me the book without worrying about it. You don't think too much like other scholars. After reading this book, I know that you don't think too much, but you think too much! But I I like it, and I believe in sailing with care."

"Thank you for the mayor's compliment, but it's just a small skill."

"Haha, well, I won't fight with you anymore, 120 taels, give me the original in your hand." Mayor Qin is also very happy, he doesn't want to spend more ink marks here, so hurry up and send the book to his brother Go, increase his brother's performance.

"160 taels, I'll give you the original book, and I'll give you the copy too. Double protection is better, isn't it?" Jiang Qing Shishi opened his mouth loudly, two copies of the book cost so much money.

After hearing the offer, Mayor Qin didn't dislike him and opened his mouth. After careful consideration, he still made a decision.

"Okay, deal." After finishing speaking, Mayor Qin took out two 100 tael bank notes from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Qingshi.

Jiang Qingshi took a look at the bank note, "Mayor, I can't find it, can you let me go down and find shopkeeper Chen to change it?"

Seeing that he put the banknote on the table and didn't intend to take it down, Mayor Qin said: "Of course it's okay, you can go down with the banknote."

"Okay, please wait for a moment." Jiang Qingshi went downstairs with a silver ticket, and carried someone to shopkeeper Chen to exchange it for 100 taels.

"Mayor, here are 40 taels." Returning the remaining money to Mayor Qin, Jiang Qingshi took the 160 taels away before taking out the 'original'.

"This is the original, take a look."

Mayor Qin was not too polite, he picked up the book and looked through it directly, and found that there was nothing wrong, Mayor Qin stood up and said: "No problem, then I will go first, young man, study hard, you have a bright future."

"Thank you for your compliment. The students will study hard." Jiang Qingshi sent Mayor Qin to the door and didn't go out again. Instead, he stayed in the private room for another half an hour before going downstairs.

"Hey, nephew, you didn't wait for your father? Why did you come down?" Shopkeeper Chen called out to Jiang Qingshi who had just come downstairs.

Jiang Qingshi was very cooperative and said: "Uncle, my father is not sure when he will come back. I still have to go to the medical clinic, so I will go back first."

"Well, wait a moment, Lin Zi, Lin Zi!" Shopkeeper Chen greeted a waiter, and said to the waiter, "Go get two boxes of jujube cakes."

Xiaoer's legs and feet were very nimble, and he brought two boxes of red date cakes in a short while, and also brought two boxes of sweet cakes on his own initiative. Shopkeeper Chen praised him after seeing it.After changing hands, he handed the snacks to Jiang Qingshi, "Nephew, these two snacks are delicious, especially this red date cake, you can give it to your unmarried daughter-in-law to replenish blood."

"Uncle, there's no need. The supply of red date cakes is in short supply every day, so don't give them away." How dare Jiang Qingshi accept a box of red date cakes for one tael of silver? Everyone knows that red jujube cakes are hard to come by. What about the box.

"Hey, Qing Shi, this is a little thought from Uncle Chen, not only for you, but also for your daughter-in-law. If there are too many red date cakes, I can't give them to you, but one box per person can still be evened out. Yes. Take it, or do you dislike uncle for giving too little?"

"No, no, why would Qingshi think so? It's too late for me to thank you. Since you have said so, then I won't be polite to you." Jiang Qingshi had no choice but to accept the snacks and bid farewell to shopkeeper Chen.
