Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

If someone did not go to the corvee, the villagers immediately started talking about it. You must know that if someone did not go to the corvee, the whole village would suffer accordingly.Because the sixth son is an official in their village, the number of people who go to corvee is much smaller than that of other villages.In the past years, the village used to take turns to go, and the assigned work was very easy. They clearly received the favor of Lao Liu. Now that Lao Liu is back, their village has not changed because Lao Liu lost his official position. Everyone is lucky. Whether it's because the county magistrate forgot, or the sixth child's remaining prestige is still there, they can't make a mistake, let the yamen servant find an excuse, and the fat rules are changed.

Thinking about it this way, the villagers became even more angry with those six people. Now the village can live a good life, all thanks to the blessing of the old six. Li has already forgiven them, but let them pay the money and go to the corvee. Before going to Lao Liu’s house to make a fuss, they didn’t go to the corvee.

"To find someone, you must find someone."

"That's right, the village head, the yamen's officer can tell you which one didn't go. The big guy went to their house to find someone. If he didn't hide at home, he went to his relative's house to look for him. It took a lot of time to find him."

"Yes, yes, yes, we must find it!"

There is a beginning, and there will be a response immediately. It is related to oneself. You must know that before the sixth son became an official, as long as he was a single household every year, he would have to go to the corvee. Money is not a small amount. Those who are greedy for money are three or four taels. If they have no money, they can only go to corvee. The assigned work is not like it is now, and they can find light work.

The family that didn't go was guilty, they didn't want their son to go, but the injury was too serious, and the injury was still in that place, and now they don't even have the strength to hold things. If they really go to the corvee, they are afraid that they will die outside.They also thought about letting other sons take the lead, but none of them wanted to, and they couldn't force them to go. They knew before that they couldn't count on a son who was always causing trouble. Is it the meat that fell from the body, or is it still reluctant to suffer, so I want to escape for a day.If they didn't lose so much money, they would like to use the money to buy a car instead of going to corvee, but if it costs twelve taels, there is no spare money.When they just heard that the money was wrong, they still thought that if they could come back, they could take out the money to avoid corvee, but they still let go, and their wish was shattered by the words of the village chief later.

People with sharp eyes can immediately see which family it is, and before the village chief can speak, he yells at people to go to that house, and the family does not stop them. The parents who caused trouble wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by other sons At the beginning, when their parents said to delay, they felt that it was wrong. Now it's okay. If they are carried out later, they will not be able to raise their heads in the village in the future.

After a while, the man was carried out. The man's parents looked at their son, if they were not being supported by the children, they would probably collapse on the ground.The person who was carried out, with tears on his face, cried and called his father and mother, but he was wrong, and he dared not do it again.The father and mother were heartbroken when they heard it, and they didn't know where the strength came from. They broke away from their son and daughter-in-law's hand, and then rushed to the sixth child and knelt down, "Uncle Six! It's because we didn't teach him well, you let him go!" Let's go!" Kowtowing while saying.

Some people feel unbearable when they see it, but when they think about what that person did before, they are very angry, but they force their parents to kneel and kowtow, they can only stop talking, and no one opens their mouths. Go, who will serve him in corvee?

The character of the sixth child is also ruthless, otherwise, how could he let his son, who is still a child, get up early in the morning and go to the dark to sell buns.To the couple who were older than him kneeling in front of him, the sixth child didn't even look at him, "You can steal things today, steal people tomorrow, and kill people the day after. I can remember the pain of today. And I can’t ask for this matter, whoever punishes it should be blamed. Don’t blame me, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. When he made a mistake for the first time, if you taught him a lesson , How dare he have a second time, and how dare he repeat it again and again."

The couple who were kowtowing froze, and there was no sound of howling.

"If you feel sorry for you, you can go and suffer from corvée for your son." Lao Liu didn't even lower his head, "Xiu Bai, Xiu Jin, today, let me put my words here, if you dare to be thieves in the future If you dare, Dad will break your fingers."

"Yes." The two of them bowed their heads respectfully.

The sixth child waved his sleeves and turned around to leave. The two brothers left behind their father.As for how the successor develops, it has nothing to do with them.Still thinking about what to eat at home.

"I'm in a bad mood today for my father. Go into the city and get some wine, and then catch two crabs to serve my father." When he was about to reach the gate of the courtyard, the sixth child stopped and walked in without turning around to say a word. the door.Leaving the two sons staring wide-eyed, this is wine and crab, what is father going to do?Although their family was not short of money for wine or two crabs, the two felt strangely uncomfortable with their father's attitude of ordering food just by opening his mouth.

"Take it as my father's reward for solving our troubles today." Wang Xiujin sighed, "When eating at night, you have to explain to your father that if you want two crabs every three days, our crabs don't have to be sold. When harvesting, I’m afraid they will be eaten.”

Wang Xiubo shook his head, feeling helpless in his heart.Asked what his younger brother needed to bring back, Wang Xiujin thought for a while, and wrote two lists, and asked his eldest brother to take them to the grocery store when he entered the city, first ask if there is anything on the first list, if not, or incomplete , and gave the second list to shopkeeper Wu, asking him to hand it over to their boss.Wang Xiubai glanced at the two lists, "Is this the recipe for making crabs? Just give it out like this?"

Wang Xiubo didn't want to give up, the steamed stuffed bun's Fang Zi, the younger brother said that he should pay back the favor that the young master offered to raise the price.It's okay to give the method of making fish to the younger generation in the same village, and even offered to give it to the grocery store, but I didn't see the other party giving money, and now I'm giving it to Fang Zi, Wang Xiubai is a little reluctant.

"If elder brother doesn't want to give it for nothing, just ask shopkeeper Wu for money." Wang Xiujin was delighted. In the past, elder brother was not such a person, but now being brought into this by him, is it good or bad.

"It's not that big brother is stingy, it's just that we haven't seen any benefits that grocery store can bring us." Wang Xiubai put the prescription away.

"Why do you think I did this?" Wang Xiujin and his elder brother went out together, and when his elder brother entered the city, he went to catch crabs.

"Is it to make friends with the grocery store?" Wang Xiubai was silent for a while before opening his mouth.

"That's right, we started our business. There are not many people. You and I guess that the owner of the grocery store has some background. They can make a stable living in Wu County. Apart from the fact that there are no bullies here, it is because of their strong background. Youdao It is a strong dragon that does not overwhelm local snakes. If we want to open a shop, we also need a strong backer." Wang Xiujin explained for the elder brother, "Take the recipe of Baozi as an example. If those companies wanted to force it, we It's just the former prime minister's son, and if he confronts them directly, he can only obediently hand over Fang Zi."

"What's the principle of the law?" After listening to his younger brother's analysis, Wang Xiubai had a rather bad expression on his face.

"Power, money, and ruthlessness are all reasonable." Wang Xiujin was happy, "Brother, now I understand why my younger brother persuaded me to take part in the imperial examination. If the elder brother has power, the younger brother will be safe on one side. The more power the elder brother has, the younger brother will make a living. The better, and on the contrary, the money earned by the younger brother can also pave the way for the elder brother." Wang Xiujin hinted many times before, but this time he said it very bluntly.

"This matter..." The expression on Wang Xiubai's face was very strange.

Wang Xiujin didn't say any more, and if he talked too much, the elder brother might not think it was right, he could only know what happened after experiencing it.

Wang Xiubai was thinking about what his younger brother said all the way. Whether it was giving him a prescription or letting him take the imperial examination, it was all "taking advantage". It's not that the position is as high as the prime minister, although it has fallen here now, it is only because of the wrong position.Wang Xiubo couldn't bear to dampen his younger brother's enthusiasm, so he wouldn't argue with him.Fortunately, Wang Xiubo did not tell his younger brother boldly at this time that if he became an official in the future, he would not need his younger brother to pay for paving the way.

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the things on the prescription and kept shaking his head, "I only have three kinds here, and I have never heard of others."

Wang Xiubo could only give the second recipe to shopkeeper Wu according to his younger brother's request. Shopkeeper Wu took the recipe, looked at the name on it, and knew it was the name of a dish, and he knew the recipe in his heart.After Wang Xiubai sent out the prescription, he went to see the renovation of the shop first, and then went to order wine. Naturally, he didn't buy the best wine, but picked the middle and low ones and bought a small pot, which was only enough to pour three or four glasses.

Fang Zi, who made crabs, was sent to Beijing by a fast horse. The prince took Fang Zi and looked at many things he had never seen before. What are these things?Calling the chef from the imperial dining room, the prince pointed to the things on it, "Do you have all of these?"

"This..." The chef looked at Fang Zi, his eyes flashed, but then he shook his head. There were many things on the Fang Zi that he had never seen before. I just don’t know if the taste can be matched.”

The prince knocked on the table with his finger. When he announced the imperial chef just now, Li Sushan said that the imperial chef has a shop outside. If he let the chef see the recipe, the prince will definitely be able to eat it, but soon everyone outside the emperor will be able to taste it. , Take fish as an example, there are no less than ten ways to make it in Beijing.It was all figured out by the cooks after they knew how to remove the bitterness and fishy smell of fish, and its source was passed down from the palace.

Li Sushan reminded the prince for a reason. He vaguely guessed that Fangzi was probably sent by his little fiancée.

When the prince heard that there were no less than ten kinds of fish made outside the palace, he felt that he had lost Wang Xiujin again, and he had only eaten two or three kinds of fish, which were not as good as people outside the palace.Now the prince is ready to give the chef a good beating.

In Wangcun, Wang Xiubai came back with wine, met the eldest son of the village chief, jumped out of the car and greeted him immediately, the other party responded with a smile, and briefly said a few words. Can raise the same rogue children.

After the three members of the old six family left, the members of that family dragged the village head around, either refunding the money or exempting them from corvee, and the other five families followed suit.Naturally, the village head will not refund the money. It's not because he is greedy for money, but because he loses face.The rest of the family who had already planned to build the road did not do it. They did not agree to refund the money. No matter whether they raise crabs next year or not, how can the money be refunded? It is benevolence and righteousness for them to ask for compensation from the past, don't cry anymore, it is justified to send people to corvee.Then, regardless of whether they agreed or not, they were carried into the city.

Wang Xiubo didn't answer, if he thought, the money should be refunded, but Grandpa Tang has always been helping them, so it's not easy for them to refute Grandpa Tang's face.After talking a few more words, Wang Xiubo hurried home, and after giving the wine to Sister Liu, he asked his younger brother to tell the story.Wang Xiujin knew it when he was catching crabs. This matter cannot be judged on the basis of right and wrong. All they can do is keep silent. "Brother, do you think Grandpa Tang did something wrong?"

Wang Xiubai just shook his head and remained silent.is it wrong?is wrong and should not be inferred.But that person is really hateful, if he didn't find out, his family's crabs might be stolen, they bought it back with money, even though they have some money now, they can't let others lose it!

Seeing that the eldest brother didn't answer, Wang Xiujin didn't say much. He asked about Fang Zi and heard that he gave it to shopkeeper Wu. Wang Xiujin was a little disappointed.

The sixth son, who had wine and crabs in the evening, was not happy eating, because the two sons said that from now until the crabs really mature, the family can only eat once every half a month, and there are only three crabs at a time.And wine can't be eaten with crabs, you can only choose the same.The sixth son didn't enjoy his meal, but he couldn't object. The wife had already agreed with his son just now, so he had to endure it if he had any opinions.He knows that crabs are used to sell money, and life is much better now than when he first came back, at least he doesn't have to eat rice soup every day.But why he can only choose one thing, he is not a person who likes to drink, but when he thinks about eating crabs, a sip must be good, but now he can only see if he can drink.Thinking of his son's unfilial piety in his heart, he kept breaking off the crab's claws with his hands, and carefully picked the meat inside.

After the meal, Wang Xiubo wanted to ask his younger brother why he didn’t give his father a drink. Wang Xiujin shook his head, “There are actually many taboos about eating crabs. After talking about things again, he was also a little scared. He gave the crabs to some people, but fortunately nothing happened.After talking about the taboos of crabs, "Actually, it's not just crabs. There are many foods that can be eaten together." Wang Xiujin would never have imagined that today he spoke carefully and his elder brother listened carefully. A few years later, Wang Xiubai, an official, would really meet On the case of eating Xiangke food to death.
