The farmers carefully inspected the various kinds of money. After confirming a portion, they moved away the corresponding amount of alcohol.
When the Tubo people saw that the cloth that was not too bad being picked out, they had the urge to cry.
This was too much of a bully. Who didn't know that the Li Family Zhuangzi didn't even look at the money when he received it?
When the commoners came to sell things, they tried to give a good evaluation.
Why can't the color be a little darker when it comes to us?
When we exchanged the copper coins, only the corner was rusty. Why did you pick it out? Aren't you tired?
When the merchants came to buy soap, toilet water, and other things, they all felt guilty when they saw the farmers picking it out.
When they waited to buy it, they were moved again.
The farmers glanced at the outside of the silk and directly accepted it, just like before.
"The Li Family Zhuangzi isn't stupid. He just takes care of his own people. Look at how carefully he checked the Tubo people."
As a merchant spoke, he quietly took out four pieces of cloth from his silk and put them back in the cart. He then took out new pieces to replace them.
He was embarrassed to put the broken pieces together with the others to fool them.
In fact, there was no need to fool them. The Li Family Zhuangzi would definitely accept it as normal money.
"Look, when you open up the silk, it's obvious that it's been stored for a long time and has a moldy smell. This place is lighter than other places.
After we accept it, we cut it open and give it to the commoners who sent the wormwood. If the commoners don't want it, we can't cheat them.
How about this, four pieces of cloth will make up for three. We'll work hard and tidy it up properly.
As for the copper coins, if they're rusty, put them together with the other copper coins. The Zhuangzi has a lot of copper coins. They can't all be wasted, right?
How about this, four pieces of cloth will make up for three. We'll work hard and tidy it up properly. "
A farmer pointed at the cloth and copper coins that were not up to standard and said to the Tubo people.
"Okay!" The Tubo people nodded in agreement. When they said the word "okay," the big man's eyes were already red.
"Big brother, my brothers and I put on a butt ball in the river and went down to catch a lot of river snails. Do you want some?"
At this time, a little girl ran over. She was about eight or nine years old.
She carried a basket for herself, and behind her were a group of boys and girls, big and small, who also had baskets.
The villager, who had been trying his best to bully others, suddenly changed his expression. A smile appeared on his face, revealing his two rows of teeth.
"Okay, okay, okay. Let me see. Aiya, the size is even. It looks meaty. My Dongzhu loves it the most.
Let me weigh it. This basket weighs six catties. How about I charge you five qian per catty? But when you go into the water, you must come up to take a breath.
Do you know first aid? Was this CPR? Also, after choking on water, you have to squat on the shore and stand up? "
The farmer pretended to weigh it, but in reality, it was only about four catties.
These children were from the villages behind the Zhang Family's village. The children from the Zhang Family's village were all studying.
The children nodded vigorously. "I know, I know. Connect a line at that place, then place your hands in the middle, and stretch out your arms to press.
While pressing down, he quickly counted 001, 001, 002, 003, all the way until he reached ten. Then, he pinched his nose and blew into his mouth.
We also know how to squat. Clench your hands together into fists and press them against the soft part of your stomach.
Then, squat down as hard as you can and stand up again. At the same time, put your arms behind your back and raise your head.
If you choke on water like this, you can only exhale and not inhale. If it's still not good, get someone else to help you blow. "
"Yes, yes, yes. You're too good. I can't even remember it clearly. Aiya, you've learned so well," the villager praised.
The children laughed heartily and handed over the river snails that they had found at the bottom of the river.
The villager still weighed it and reported a higher weight than the actual amount.
Then, he took the slightly rusty copper coins and counted them according to the normal amount.
The children waited for the villager to bring a large basin. They put the river snails in it, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and skipped away.
The Tubo people were speechless.
He had something to say, but he could only say in his heart, 'You mother? You just said that four coins is three coins. It's not good for the coins to be rusty. Why did you give the rusty coins to the children? '
After receiving a large pile of river snails, the villager turned his head and said to the Tubo people, "Look, the edges of these copper coins are worn thin. Other people …"
The Tubo people clenched their fists and pursed their lips, "Yes! Yes! "
The villager continued to look for the rusty coins seriously.
The Tubo people took two deep breaths and wanted to chat, "When did you enter Zhuangzi?"
"Zhuangzi's chosen bodyguards. I was the first batch to be sent here. Look at my left foot. It's missing two fingers.
The two of us were fighting with the Tubo people. As I was killing them, I didn't know why I was hit. My head became dizzy and I fell to the ground.
The Tubo people slashed at me with a knife. In a daze, I kicked out. My foot hurt. Then, my brother rushed over and faced the four Tubo people.
I survived, but my brother died. I killed all four of them. Those damn Tubo people, I haven't killed enough. "
The villager picked out a few copper coins that looked okay and said.
The Tubo people regretted it. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have talked. Why was their mouth so annoying?
At noon, the villagers took turns. The previous ones went back to eat.
The new ones had just finished eating. They also brought food for the Qianniu Guards.
There were sorghum rice, salted beans, garlic eggplant, cold dish fish, soy sauce pork liver, sesame oil cucumber strips.
"There's a lot of meat today. We can't finish it. Brothers, let's put some food on the side. Leave some for the brothers who change shifts at night."
The camp commander who was guarding the bridge saw that there were too many dishes and called out.
"Camp commander, let's leave half first. Otherwise, we'll want to eat it." Someone suggested.
So, he left half of the food in a cool place. When the shift changed at night, it wouldn't spoil.
The merchants who came to buy things also had a bowl of cold noodles with slices of meat and cucumber.
The children who sold the newspapers gave the money and then brought the small stools and small tables that were stacked in the corner for the Qianniu Guards to look after.
They sat there one by one, waiting for the villager to serve them rice.
The children also ate rice that had been soaked with water, but it was rice.
The dishes were white cut meat with garlic sauce, soy sauce chicken liver, cold watermelon rind with sesame seeds, blanched vegetables with black bean sauce, fried shredded eggs with cucumber, and a lot of sesame sauce.
In addition, there was a fruit plate with watermelon pulp to replenish vitamins and fructose. In fact, children loved watermelon.
"We're selling rice. Two meat dishes and two vegetables. Only 600 yuan. Anyone want it?"
The villager pushed out three dining carts and shouted at the Tubo people.
"Can we eat as much as we want?" A Tubo person was hungry and asked.
"Are you dreaming? As a buffet? Then it's not this price. "The villager looked over.
"Everyone eat." At this time, Bo Xie, who had finished negotiating with the boatman, rushed over. He wanted to finish the handover quickly.
It wasn't easy for him to persuade those people to stop. They would take action on June 30th.
It seemed that there was still more than a month to go. The boat was slow, especially after entering the Yangtze River.
When Zhuangzi discovered the situation, the imperial court of the Tang dynasty could quickly send a message to Shu by horse.
Then, they would intercept the Yangtze River at the place where it entered the Dadu River.
Thus, everyone was given a large boxed lunch.
At Li Yi's time, one plate was enough to eat, and there were still leftovers.
Now, the Tang dynasty's people had finished that plate. They were not even half full.
Fortunately, the taste of the food was really good. Zhuangzi didn't play any tricks in this regard. It seemed that the food was served from the canteen.
