The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

two months later.

The original [-]-acre wilderness is no longer what it used to be. There are often boats coming and going, and there are crowds of people.

Just when Shen Shen put down his burden and was about to start selling, he saw two people wearing half-winged hats and a very bright red vest came over, "Hey, hey! Brother, no stalls are allowed here."

"Who said that! You are blind, and there are people setting up stalls over there and here." How could Shen Shen be convinced? He had been here a few days ago after inquiring about it, and he saw that there were so many people here, and the business might not be good. It's easy to do, so I want to set up my own tea and fruit stall. When the time comes to figure out the way, I will hand it over to my old lady at home.

Qin Zhuang didn't let him take out any more things at all, "If you have a permit, you have to pay the rent for the shop every day, do you have it?"

"What! Do you still need to pay?" Shen Shen didn't start a business, so he paid money to the local snake wherever he was willing. He was bluffing, and his voice was amplified. He wanted to attract the attention of others, and he straightened his waist. Showing his tall and thick stature, "You are not from the government office, why should you take my money!"

Someone did indeed look over, and Shen Shen felt a little relieved, and saw that there were really three yamen servants in green clothes and soap shoes, holding fire sticks in their hands, and he even shouted loudly, "Come and see the officials, they They oppress ordinary people for no reason, and want to take money from those of us who do serious small businesses!"

After the new governor, Mr. Jia, came, everyone's life gradually became easier. At least with the door drum, you can still write petition letters. At least 20 taels of silver and [-] baguettes will be paid to the prosecution of deception and corruption, but it can be regarded as giving them a way out for the poor. Last month, a widow from the village cried blood for a book. She successfully appealed and sent the county lord He was directly dismissed from office and locked in prison.If it wasn't for protecting Widow Chen's innocent reputation, she would have said she would parade through the streets.

"What are you yelling about? You don't know what this place is, and you just say that people collect money randomly? If you litter here, you will be fined, do you know that?" The guard tapped Shen Shen lightly with a fire stick However, Qin Zhuang hurriedly pulled him back, "Brother Wu, he is illiterate, why should you argue with him."

Then he said gently, "Little brother, we are here in the Baishi Market. Small vendors like you have to go through the review of the officials of the Hong Kong Government Office, and then the Guizhi Company will pass the examination before they can get a permit to come to our place." Choose a place to pay the rent for stalls and shops, and you can do business safely and securely."

"Yes, for someone like you, the annual industrial and commercial tax is [-] yuan." Officer Wu is also used to it, and when he saw Shen Shen's stall, he could already tell the tax with his mouth open.

Shen Shen, however, was dumbfounded. I heard before that when selling things, I had to pay money to gangsters in a certain place, but I didn't expect that there were people from the government here to collect money together?Looking at the fire escape sticks in the hands of the guards, he sighed deeply, "Where do I have money? My officials, if I had money, I would have paid it long ago, isn't it true? Just let me show you , when I earn money, it will definitely be handed over to you in the morning." That would not be the case, what a beautiful idea!

"Then you come with us, and register your name and place of origin first, so that we can arrange for the people who review and review the Guizhi firm to do the rating." This kind of thing happens a few times a day, and Officer Wu is used to it, but He is here to do this kind of thing. Although they are not allowed to fish for oil and water, they eat well!Compared with watching the warehouse counting flies and being bitten by mosquitoes, his life is much more beautiful now!

This is going to be subdued and taken away!Shen Shen was scared, he refused to leave, "Officer, I didn't do anything wrong, you, where are you taking me?"

Doing business here, the family also has a little spare money, and often runs around. A child aged [-], [-], or [-] plays here, holding a candy painting in his hand and making fun of him, "Aren't you going to do business? You don't have permission. You have to follow the adults to apply for a permit before you can do business here." He licked it cautiously, then remembered again, "You have to hurry up, there will be no stalls for rent soon." He opened his mouth amused, looking like he was missing teeth, "What delicious food do you sell? Is there any delicious cake from Mrs. Hu? Or the sesame seed cake made by Uncle Hou? My mother is the best at drawing sugar paintings. Son, look, my mother made this, see if it looks good!" Sure enough, many people saw the sugar painting on his hand, and he licked it twice, which attracted some children's begging ,"I want to eat."

"Grandma, I want it."

"I want to eat, too."

He was happy, "Then you come with me, my mother's stall is at the back, you can buy sugar paintings first, and turn around to see what's new with food in your hand." He led people away, seeing that there were still some People hesitated, and he immediately continued to preach, "Mrs. Jia's golden boys and girls have all eaten my sugar paintings."

This is terrible, "Madam also tried it?"

"Then you must go and see."

"It is said that Madam is the reincarnation of the Queen Mother, and her children are rich and golden, and there are jade girls, right?"

"Isn't that right, madam still has the life-protecting orb, which is her eldest son. When she first came here, she saw that our place is not good. She saw a whirlwind was about to blow, and she didn't know how much it would cost us." , she exhausted all her magic power to let the devastating dragon whirlwind scrape past us, at most she only lost a few fishing boats..."

"Oh, the dragon girl who was supposed to be born is gone!"

"Isn't that right? If it weren't for the quick arrival of the life-protecting orb, Madam might have to go back to Heaven earlier."

"That's really God's blessing, so Xuan came so fast..."

"..."

Wearing a veiled hat and traveling in plain clothes, Wang Guizhi glanced at his eldest son speechlessly. Although his name did have a bead in it, this life-protecting orb, hiss...

Yuanyuan covered her mouth and whispered next to Meiyu's ear, "Sister, am I a lucky boy or a golden boy?" Although he didn't quite understand it, he felt that it was a compliment to them, after all they spoke so well of their mother , can call the wind and call the rain.

"...You should be the golden boy." Meiyu was a little older than Yuanyuan, and she tried her best to digest it, but she could only be sure that she was a jade girl.But she hasn't learned the Jade Heart Sutra yet, Mo Tian said, there has never been such a book, and her mother must have coaxed her.But my mother said that this is a peerless secret book that women can cultivate, maybe it's just Mo Tian's ignorance.

Jia Zhu could hear it clearly, and laughed out loud, knowing it was not good, so she quickly covered her mouth with her fan.

What kind of life-protecting orb? When he came, his mother had already recovered from her illness. Thanks to Dr. Zhang’s care, and the medicinal herb Lonely Grass sent by the Empress (I can’t find any good prescriptions. He was anxious to make his wife get well quickly, so Dr. Zhang had no choice but to concoct a "herb" that seemed to be ginseng but not ginseng, with translucent red jade) in his room, which really cured the root cause of his mother's illness.It's a pity that the medicine is a natural treasure, even if it is rare to see it in a hundred years (no one has ever really seen it!), otherwise he must prepare more.

Li Wan was also wearing a veiled hat, holding Jia Lan in his arms, and followed them with a smile, because the sun in this area was really strong, and basically tourists wore it when they went out, so they were not very eye-catching.

Right now, the Piovan market is already booming. As soon as the sports meeting is over, those who participated in the event are blowing loudly, and there are still many people who took the bonus and exchanged it for various things to go home. Those who have mentioned this place, it is really deep in the mountains and wild forests, I am afraid that they don't even know what is today and what is evening.

Then there are rows of houses, and there is a Baiwang warehouse. It is said that foreigners also store goods there. Because many people in the Baiwang market can speak foreign languages, there are also foreigners doing business here, but Because they are foreigners, their shops are all in the North Point, and they collect [-]% more taxes than the locals. Some Fans just want to find a local girl and marry them.

"Mother, I want to eat that!" Although Jia Lan was sleepy on the boat, she recovered within two days after getting off the boat, better than the two adults, Li Wan and Jia Zhu, but Wang Guizhi couldn't "okay" ", missed the sports meeting that day, and it was the first time he came back, and when he saw something he hadn't eaten, he wanted to try it.

Li Wan was afraid that it would be unclean, but he saw Baoyu leading Meiyu Yuanyuan to the stall, "How do you sell it?"

"One string for one penny, buy three strings and get one for free!" The shop owner is a brother and sister. When they saw such a cute child, they loved it in their hearts. Is your beard fine?"

Baoyu nodded, counted three Wen coins from his purse and handed them to them, "I want three strings, two strings are spicy, two strings are not, and salt should be used less."

"The money has been collected, please wait for a while."

This grilled soft-tube fish is just a newcomer. Originally, no one bought it from the fishing boats in the village, and they couldn’t sell it for a price. You can eat it at home, but unfortunately the smell is strange, so you have to dry it and eat it sometimes in winter.But they couldn't think of any good way to do business. They wanted to grill fish, but Master Wu from another fishing village took the lead. Moreover, his skill in grilling fish is really nothing to say, and his wife is also very good at cooking fish. awesome.They never beat Master Wu. They thought that the Guizhi shop would rent a shop if they didn’t go through them. It happened that they mixed a soft tube fish with the fish that day. At that time, they didn’t know who said they wanted to bake it, so they gave it to them. Borrowing the sauce and roasting ingredients, it is really delicious after roasting.The Guizhi Company took the rent and the unique sauce as shares, and let the two brothers do business here. After deducting the material costs, they will get a [-]-[-] share.

Jia Lan ate very deliciously, but unfortunately he couldn't bite his teeth. In the end, he could only chew the taste and vomited. Li Wan rejected his idea of ​​swallowing it into his stomach.

Wang Guizhi looked at his little grandson and saw his brother——no, no, the uncles and aunts were eating well, and their eyes were a little pitiful, so he coaxed, "It's their fault, they should make something that children can eat, like tofu, what? Tofu, tofu skin, stewed tofu skin, etc.”

As soon as Jia Lan heard this, she stretched out her hand to want her grandma to hug her, "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Then there is still not to give!

Wang Guizhi took the little soft bun, "Buy it, buy it!"

Caixia smiled and asked, "Madam, you said there is tofu, but tofu is so soft, how can you bake it?"

"The tofu skin is not cheap, and I'm afraid it's too late for people to make it now." Caiyun thought about the thin layer, can it be baked and eaten?

... Fragrant dry, stewed dry, fried bean puff, where are you?

The author has something to say:

Empress Empress: Is there a solitary grass in the medicinal materials I sent?Who sent it, let them look for it again. (Such a good thing has to be kept and used for a long time.)

Official Drug Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: Did you find it, did you find it!Where did this solitary grass come from? Could it be conjured up by the world?You can have some snacks, such things can also be forgotten!

(It seems that smoked dried tofu is not eaten very much here in Guangdong. As for fried bean puffs, I think there may not be so much oil at that time... If you are wrong, just laugh~)
