Chapter 145 Preparations for both sides

Tie Qing took the money back and handed over 1000 taels to Brother Xiao: "The 1000 taels are saved, and the 400 taels are for household use, plus the money from selling grain this year, our family's life will definitely get better and better. "

Brother Xiao was a little listless at first, but his eyes lit up when he saw the banknote!

He ordered some banknotes happily: "I don't have much cash at home, so take some out. Also, the weather is cold, so we have to buy beef and mutton as soon as possible. The miscellaneous grains at home are not sold, so keep them for food."

"Okay!" Generally, Tie Qing listens to Brother Xiao's arrangements for family matters.

The couple agreed that they would go to the county town the next day to buy some meat, mutton, and cattle. The other thing was to kill a few wild boars in the house for meat.

Sun Kong had already sharpened his sword early in the morning.

The family killed all the wild boars. Although they were small wild boars, there were a lot of them, and some meat could be eaten.

Tie Qing sent two baby wild boars to the old Zhang Ganzi's family, one to Xiao Liushu and Xiao Bashu's each, and another to the old village head's family.

Everyone in the village knew that Tie Qing had taken advantage of it.

Qiao Daliang, who has a good relationship with him, joked with him: "You have to treat guests to dinner! This business is done, and the businessman makes you money."

"For sure!" Tie Qing said: "Go into the mountains tomorrow, harvest dead wood, and hunt again, are you going?"

"Go!" Qiao Daliang said, "I'll ask Shao Xiaoke and the others."

"Okay, find a few people, let's go together." Tie Qing also has a few good friends in the village, Qiao Daliang and Shao Xiaoke from the neighbors are good friends with him.

There is also Yang Dasheng from the old Yang family, who is Yang Daqing's younger brother.

Yang Daqing is arresting the head now, and Yang Dasheng is farming at home and serving his parents.

Tie Qing wanted to enter the mountain, and he had to take the lead, there were quite a few people who wanted to follow, but the next day, more than [-] people followed, Tie Qing did not refuse, and led the people into the mountain, and went straight to the place where he had been looking for. A good wild boar nest.

There were two big wild boars, one male and one female, a dozen half-sized wild boars, and a dozen small wild boars.

It's enough for them to share, not to mention killing this wild boar nest, next year will prevent these wild boars from going down the mountain to ruin the fields and harm the crops.

There are many people, and things can be taken down.

Sure enough, after a group of people arrived at the place, Tie Qing shot two big wild boars to death with a bow and arrow, and the other half-sized wild boars and young wild boars were all captured alive.

A group of people stopped cutting dead wood, and took the wild boar down the mountain happily.

After the big wild boar was dealt with by Sun Kong, the pork was sold cheaply to the villagers.

The young wild boars were all gone, and the half-grown wild boars were distributed to those who followed, and the family shared a lot.

The whole village happily ate a meal of meat. Although it was wild boar, it was quite oily.

The next day, Tie Qing took Brother Xiao to the county seat, and Tie Li followed him in his car, and went to the county seat to buy ten sheep and a cow.

In addition, I placed an order for [-] mutton sheep and [-] cattle, and I will come to pick up the goods when they are frozen, because they can be stored at that time.

I bought a lot of seafood and came back, dried kelp, dried seaweed, Tie Qing pointed at this thing, to supplement iodine for the family.

When the couple was doing big shopping in the county town, the young master of the Song family also came back.

The eldest son of the Song family, Song Peng, has a character of [-].

Take the good sentence "the big roc rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles".

It can be seen how much Master Song had hoped for the eldest son at that time.

As soon as Song Peng came back, he heard his mother's cries, and after seeing his sister's tragic situation, he was furious: "I said, this is not going to happen, it won't work! You have to listen to my sister, this After a while, her reputation is ruined, a concubine who has been sold, who will want her? How will I live in the future after the good relationship is gone? Why not go to the nunnery, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, and die like this!"

"What are you talking about? This is your sister, you are such a sister! Your mother and I are such a daughter!" Mrs. Song cried and wiped her tears: "I can't eat without meat for a day, Returning the Green Lantern to the Ancient Buddha? If you really want your sister to become a monk, I will die!"

Young Master Song, one head and two elders: "Mother, you said the same thing last time, what happened? My sister was sold to a country man as a concubine by you, and she was whipped in public. Her skin was exposed, she was innocent and famous. Festival is gone, what else do you want?"

In fact, Eldest Young Master Song really couldn't understand what his mother and sister did. He had met a country man once, and he had a good impression. As far as country people are concerned, he was indeed a rare good person.

But in the city, it is probably not enough to see, especially the young master Song is still studying in a school in Fucheng, and all he meets are gentle scholars, or literary giants, or wealthy businessmen.

Anyway, he wasn't just a hunter from the countryside.

Any one of them is better than that country man. If my sister wants to be a concubine, I will be a concubine for those people, not for that country man.

Be a concubine, be a concubine, and be tricked by others.

Not only did they lose people, but they also lost money, 400 taels, which was their family's income for two years!

Young Master Song went to school in Fucheng, and it only cost 600 taels a year, 50 taels a month, so he could live a comfortable life in Fucheng, let alone in the county town of Shulin County.

Besides, their family didn't live in the county town, but in an old house in the town.

"It's gone, can't you think of a way to avenge your sister?" Mrs. Song gritted her teeth and said, "We can't bear this humiliation in vain!"

"Then what do you want?" Young Master Song said with a gloomy face, "Everyone in the county knows about my sister's troubles. Will our grain store still be in business in the future? The grain store at home , but there are only three left."

One is in the prefecture, one is in the county, and the other is in the town.

In the front of the town is a grain store, and behind it is a warehouse.

Next to it is an alley, and the innermost part of the alley is the Song family's old house.

The Song family got rich not long ago, only for three or four generations, so the old house is the original old house, and the new house was rebuilt after being scrapped. It was a big tile-roofed house built with blue bricks when Master Song was alive. There are two yards in total. , with two courtyards and a carriage house behind.

The place is not big, but it is well built, otherwise it wouldn't be an ancestral house.

In addition, there are only [-] mu of land and three grain shops left.

Of course, if their family supplies food to the army, they will buy it at a price of five cents a catty, and then sell it to the army for seven cents, and the army will purchase and report it for ten cents.

This business has only been in business for five years, and the little money invested at the beginning has returned. In a few years, it will surely restore its former glory.

But the mother spent nearly 2000 taels of silver for her younger sister, and it became a joke.

Song Peng is going to die of anger, okay?This woman is so stupid that people really don't know what to say.

Young Master Song is a scholar, so he can't speak dirty words, let alone this one is his mother and the other is his sister.

But he was really resentful about such a prodigal mother and sister.

With this money, how good would it be to give him?You can also go to the Chunfeng Building and listen to Chun Sanniang playing a piece of eighteen touches.

"It doesn't matter how many others are left, as long as the relationship in the army continues, it's better than anything else!" Mrs. Song said: "But your sister's matter, you can't just let it go, I can't swallow this breath, a muddy leg, actually Dare to play me."

Mrs. Song considers herself to be a heroine, the proprietress, and the family business left by her husband's family. After being defeated, it prospered again. She didn't learn [-]% from her husband in the way of doing business, but she also learned [-]% to [-]%. Oh, how have you ever been humiliated like this!

She didn't think about what happened to herself first, but only thought about the grievances she had suffered.

"When my sister gets better, we'll go to the yamen and sue that man, saying what do you women know? He was cheated by a liar, and he's cheating!" As expected of a scholar, he immediately thought of a way to retaliate: "Cheat you, woman! They sold their daughter, but beat her in front of you, that's blackmail! You couldn't bear it, and spent a lot of money to redeem your sister, that's deception, blackmail!"

400 taels, that's a lot of money!

"Yes, sue him!" Mrs. Song said viciously: "Sue him to ruin his family and property, punish him to work as a coolie, and send him to exile for three thousand miles."

Mrs. Song didn't know much about the law. She just listened to the opera and sang it, and she was bound up in chains and exiled for three thousand miles.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it." Song Peng really couldn't trust his mother.

Usually, he is very shrewd in business, but he is always confused when it comes to his younger sister. Otherwise, why bother so much and bring shame on himself.

As for Tie Qing, he was in the county with Brother Xiao. Of course, he was shopping the first day, but that night, he went to Xuzhou's home.

Xuzhou's home is in Erdao Alley to the south of the county government office. It is a large courtyard with two entrances. There are only his wife and three children in the house.

The elderly in the family are gone, but the husband and wife are living a good life.

Xu Zhou is also an official now, although he is only a county magistrate smaller than Zhima, because of the small size of Shulin County, this county magistrate is only a rank nine.

When Tie Qing came, Xu Zhou had just left the government office not long ago.

"Brother Tie? Why are you here? Come in." Xu Zhou was a little surprised, Tie Qing usually went to the yamen to look for him instead of coming to his house.

"Hey, I'll bring you something nice." Tie Qing came in, but behind him was leading two live silly roe deer, very fat.

"Yo, this is a good thing." Xu Zhou laughed, "It's just right, have you had dinner yet? Your sister-in-law made dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork today."

"I'm going back to have dinner with my husband in a while, sister-in-law's handicraft, I'll eat it next time I have a chance." Tie Qing said: "I'm here to ask, I have a white deed in my hand, and I want to become a red deed. What to do?"

"It's good to have a contract. Go to the yamen to register and go through the paperwork. The white deed is not easy to grasp. Why did you get the white deed?" Xu Zhou frowned: "This is not an honest farmer like us. Something that should be there?"

Without the government making the decision, the white deeds of ordinary people's families can be easily lost, lost, stolen, or even robbed by others.

Therefore, the imperial court did not recognize the white contract on the surface. It only regarded it as a temporary contract. If it was not converted into a red contract, it would be easy to change hands.

Whoever owns the white deed can apply for the red deed.

The only difference is that the red contract is officially recognized.

"It was given to me by someone else, and I want to make a red deed." Tie Qing told Xu Zhou directly: "It belongs to the Song family."

"The Song family... oh, did Miss Song bring it in?" Xu Zhou guessed a bit.

"It was brought by the daughter of the Song family, but she didn't bring it in because she didn't enter the door at all. The gate of the Tie family is not easy to enter." Tie Qing said: "The Song family dares to plot against our husband and wife. Our husband and wife will not be polite to him."

Xu Zhou pointed at him and said with a smile, "You are such a narrow-minded fellow."

"I don't care about this kind of thing." Tie Qing was also happy.

He sent Xuzhou two live fat roe deer, and put ten silver roe deer one by two in the snack box he brought.

After saying a few words to Xu Zhou, he left.

Not many people around came out to look around, they all knew that Xu Zhou had become an official, and Tie Qing would tell him in the county government office if anything happened, the gifts were also blatant, they were all wild game, not worth any money.

Xu Zhou looked at the dim sum, it was just an ordinary stove fruit, but under the kraft paper, there were ten one or two silver picks, which made him smile: "This guy is quite knowledgeable and interesting."

If he was given a bank note, he would still have to exchange it, which would inevitably leave traces. Only cash is the most suitable option.

After Tie Qing went back, Brother Xiao had already ordered food.

At this time, he ordered some dishes that he couldn't cook at home for his husband.

In fact, Xinghua's sister-in-law can cook anything, but their family doesn't have such good ingredients.

Lapier with sesame sauce, fried spring rolls, smooth tenderloin, tender fried beef and white rice.

"Why didn't you move your chopsticks?" Tie Qing came over and sat down: "Where is Tie Li?"

"He said he went to eat something on the side of the road. It seems that this inn can't make it, so I didn't care about him." Xiao Geer served him a meal: "Master, what do you think of the food I ordered?"

"Very good." Tie Qing was also hungry, picked up the bowl and ate a big mouthful.

"I also think it's good, but I heard the person next to me order. He said he wants to eat Diaochan tofu. Mr. Xiang, what is Diaochan tofu? The waiter said that it is very expensive, and it costs fifty copper coins for a plate." Xiao Geer was curious. ah.

"Diaochan tofu is loach drilled tofu." Tie Qing has seen the history of this place, which is basically similar to his time and space, but the Diaochan in the history here is a brother.

It is said to be extremely beautiful.

"Oh? Loach and tofu!" Brother Xiao bit the end of his chopsticks: "I haven't eaten it before."

"Or you want a plate." Tie Qing saw that he wanted to eat but was reluctant to pay: "It's only fifty copper coins, and it usually costs a lot to buy a tofu and a loach. Besides, we There are no large quantities of loach here, and this thing is eating fat now."

"Then I'll go and ask for a plate." Brother Xiao gritted his teeth, put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran to order a plate.

Tie Qing lowered his head to eat, thinking he would have to wait for a while, but the shop waiter quickly brought it over.
