The rice seedlings were unhappy and hurt their eyes. Withered grass is yellow and yellow, it is difficult to find cattle and sheep.
There has never been any rain on Henan Road. The severe drought is a foregone conclusion. The only thing that makes the people here feel a little better is that there is no need to worry about the locust plague. Except for the more than 30,000 poultry that came from afar, the local poultry. Also let it out.
During the day, they depended on these things to eat grasshoppers. At night, the people would light the fire to attract those locusts. The hunting these days did not allow the locust plague to spread to other places. The local people also got some help. Food shipped from other places, and eggs laid by poultry.
Especially some people close to the Yellow River, holding small rafts, rushed to the mouth of the sea in the shallow water, where they bought some things at a very low price, loaded them and shipped them back, and exchanged them. Quite a few eggs.
Some diligent people even after walking a few back and forth, they found that their income was not only not less than before, but more, which made them more grateful to Zhangjiazhuang when they were happy, especially Cherry and Xiaohong. Two people, one hundred local people saw that the two of them were not only beautiful, but also good-hearted, and they erected the longevity sacrifice sooner or later, hoping that the two could live a long life.
Xiao Hong and Cherry got up today to continue to find some remaining locusts to feed the poultry, but suddenly got the news that the master of Zhang Wang's two villagers had been shut down, and at the same time, a lot of food was added.
"Xiaohong, we succeeded. We finally forced the people above to put the rewards down, stop eating them, go back, go back immediately, and take the poultry back. Anyway, there are not many locusts here, and this The dried seafood that has not been shipped back this time will be shipped back together."
Cherry heard the good news and never wanted to stay here anymore. She also wanted to go back and celebrate with her, her excited eyes were red.
"Cherry, you have done a great job now. You hatched so many poultry. It's worth it. We've been tired for so many days here. It's worth it. Seventh-rank officer, it's as big as the county magistrate. ."
Xiaohong took Cherry's hand and jumped and jumped there. She finally completed what the little son and the little lady confessed. She earned merits for Zhuangzi and received a lot of things. Take these things back, Xiao The son is of great use.
Xu Si, Er Niu and others also ran over at this time with a look of excitement. This is the first time they have encountered such an exciting thing, especially Xu Si. This time they organized a lot of people. After so many years, There has never been a day like today, allowing him to participate in an event related to the life and death of Zhuangzi.
Think about it when he was hanging around in Gejiazhuang, he knelt on the ground with a thump, and shouted loudly: "God has eyes, sent my four dogs to the little son, have you seen it? Look? Has it arrived? My four dogs also have today. Starting today, my last name is not Xu, my last name is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Si."
The people around looked at him, and no one laughed at him. They knew what Xu Si had been. They were also fortunate to have met the little son and the little lady, so they had the opportunity to dominate the life and death of Zhuangzi. They succeeded, not only He only used righteousness to suppress the imperial court to give a reward, and this time he made a lot of money back.
When I return to Zhuangzi, I can definitely see the happy appearance of the little master and the little lady. The future Zhangjiazhuangzi will not live like those other ordinary Zhuangzi.
With the order from Cherry, more than 30,000 poultry were called together, and countless local cars were hired to carry these "heroes" and the things they had exchanged, and walked back mightily.
…
Zhangjiazhuangzi, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were lying on the couch, one of them holding a book in their hands, watching boredly there, the two of them now paused their exercises, and they were all heartened.
"Don't look, Xiaobao, there is nothing this time, right? Can I still go to the field survival training?" Wang Juan put the Zhongyong on his hand aside, looked up at the ceiling and said.
"See if the legs are good, go and see if they are good, then continue to raise them, their older children will take a long time, and there are still a lot of days before they can end the training on the grassland." Zhang Xiaobao also felt a little noisy. My heart is recovering all day long and can't do anything.
"Oh, then wait, Xiaobao, do you know Yunnan Baiyao? The thing recovers quickly, it's better to get it out." Wang Juan agreed, still a little unwilling.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "This thing is too difficult. I heard that there is something called Teng Sanqi in it. I don't know if it is the same as Sanqi. I have never seen it before. If you die, you can sleep. Sleep is the fastest to recover your body. ."
"Sleep well, don't watch it, eat when you wake up, go to sleep when you're full, and grunt twice when you're happy." Wang Juan closed his eyes and muttered.
"Well, like a pig." Zhang Xiaobao replied and closed his eyes.
…
Night came quickly, and Li Cheng, who had been tossing for two days, rushed to Tuqiao Village again. He couldn’t bear to be trapped. He asked for a yard among the water and clouds. He went in and fell asleep until dawn, holding it in his hand. The image drawn by others from memory began to wander around in Zhangjiazhuangzi.
It was cool early in the morning. I wandered around, but I didn’t see the expert. I stood outside the school and listened to the children for a while. I found out that the weather was already hot. I had to walk to the market place. Some people stayed all day, especially the tea stalls. As long as it is a little hot, they will never miss it. Even if there are few people coming to drink tea, he can sit there and feel the summer.
"Master, there are too few people in your stall. Can you make money if you stay for a day?" Li Cheng asked for a bowl of tea, drank it there, and put a handful of white melon seeds in a small dish in front of him and ate it from time to time. One, thinking of the expert, asked the old man who was boiling water there.
"At this time there are few people, and the afternoon will be fine. If there are too many people, there is no place to sit and can’t make much. It’s better than farming. I can’t compare to the three villagers here. There’s nothing in the dry land. "The old man finished adding firewood, moved to a small bench, sat aside, looked at the sky, and said to Li Cheng.
Li Chengqiang resisted swallowing the horrible tea, set aside the bowl, grabbed the white melon seeds, and ate slowly, thinking about things in his mind without talking.
"Young man, you are not a local, right? Looking at the face, do you come here and want to buy more things to sell elsewhere? I advise you to go. The things here are not allowed to be bought and sold. If your wealth is high, just go At the grocery store over there, find Ergou, and he will give you a price."
The old man was also bored. He looked at Li Cheng, thinking that he was a businessman who came here to do business. He was afraid that he would not understand the rules, so he persuaded him.
Li Cheng was thinking about where the expert lived and when he could show up. He was taken aback when he heard the old man's words, and curiously asked, "Why can't I just buy it here? Wouldn't it be cheaper if I buy more? "
"Young man, do you really want to buy something?" the old man asked back.
"Well, I'm idle and I'm idle, look at what's available here, buy it for good luck and sell it elsewhere, can't you just buy it directly, you have to look for that dog?" Li Cheng was really puzzled now, he It was the first time I heard that money can't buy things.
The old man chuckled, got up and added some boiling water to Li Cheng’s bowl, grabbed a handful of white melon seeds and put them on the plate in front of Li Cheng, and said, “The price of the things here is all up to the second dog. After all, in order not to let the buyers and sellers suffer losses, the price must be set once a day.
When you look at this, you know that you want to buy more to keep the price down. It’s useless. No matter how much you buy, it’s at the same price. If you want cheaper, you can only find a second dog. Otherwise, no one dares to buy something. Give you a holiday. "
"Why? Is the second dog better than the government? Whatever he says? I still don't believe it." Li Cheng, who didn't think so much, heard what the old man said and felt that the second dog was too arrogant, he Why dare to set a price
"If you don't believe it, you have to stand up. No one here dared to disagree. Whoever disagrees, whoever doesn't agree, don't want to do business here in the future. This place belongs to the Wangjiazhuang. If you let you go, dare you not go? Don’t have such a big temper, it’s okay, no one has come to cheat people yet."
The old man has met such a person more than once, and the same thing has been said many times. Some people are more angry, but they are not driven away in the end. Moreover, he does not want some foreign merchants to get the price. When chaos, buy low and sell high, where is the market for the poor
Li Cheng understood now that Wang's Zhuangzi's place naturally wanted whoever came to come. Those who didn't follow the rules could only be driven away. Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he felt that there was a way to threaten Wang's Zhuangzi. , Asked the old man: "Master, how much tax do you have to pay here? Who will collect it? It won't be the second dog, right?"
When he was talking, he just waited for the old man to tell the tax, and then he was asking other people. In that case, a crime of taking possession of money and contempt of the court will be deducted. The more serious ones are rebellion and not rebelling against you. Why dare to levy taxes on behalf of the court
The old man looked at Li Cheng and sighed again, "Young man, put your little thoughts away, how can there be any taxes here? I only rented a house to put things and sleep, and there is no tax on normal sales. Don't want to sue the officer. Even if you say this, there will be too many people for a while, don't speak, otherwise no one will stop you from being beaten."
"No taxes? Are they just giving others a place for nothing? Great kind people?" Li Cheng was even more confused, thinking that the old man was lying to him, and sneered.
"Young man, go quickly. I don't want the tea money. Don't come here anymore. Give them trouble. That will cut our way." The old man's temper also came up, putting away the things in front of Li Cheng, like driving a fly. Waved in the same way.
