After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"The bones I'm cutting now are cheaper, ten cents a pound."

Fang Tong:? !!

He knew it might be more expensive in a disaster year, but he really didn't expect it to be so expensive.

In the past, pure lean meat cost only nine cents per pound, but now the price has more than tripled!

"Boss, this is too expensive. I want more. Can you give me a discount?" Fang Tong said with a smile.

The young man then raised his eyelids and looked at him: "How much do you want?"

Fang Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I want five ounces of lean meat and five ounces of bones. Can you give me a cheaper price?"

"What's too much?" The young man laughed and waved his hands, "No, no, it's not cheap. You know, food is never cheap in a disaster year. What's more, this is meat."

"No, the ones next door are much cheaper. I just went and saw that their lean meat was only twenty cents."

The young man was not fooled: "Then you can go to his store to buy it."

His father was busy today, so he didn't go to the stall with him. Before leaving, I specifically told him that unless he bought a whole pig, there would be no bargaining under any circumstances! No need to listen to what these people said.

There is no way he will be fooled!

Fang Tong shook his head: "I won't go. He's not as handsome as you, young man. I just love buying at your house."

When Junlang was mentioned, the young man unconsciously tensed his body, making his sturdy arms look more solid. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but when he thought of his old father's instructions, he forced himself back: "No, it's no use praising me."

"Hiss~" Fang Tong covered his mouth exaggeratedly: "The young man is big and strong, and he looks reliable at first glance. Is he married?"

"My cousin's daughter is very pretty, with big eyes and fair skin. When she speaks, her voice is very sweet and gentle. All the young men in the surrounding area are attracted to her."

"But that girl said that she doesn't want pretty boys, she wants strong guys like you. She also said that only men like you are real men. She will introduce them to you when the time comes."

Mentioning the beautiful girl, and saying that he was a real man, the young man was a little confused by the praise, and couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth: "No, there's no rush for this..."

Finally, after Fang Tong's flattery and his promise to introduce the non-existent cousin's daughter to him next time, he successfully bought a pound of lean meat and half a pound of bones for twenty cents.

Fang Tong left with satisfaction.

Behind him, the young man was still thinking that he would have to wear clothes without patches next time he came to the stall so as not to be rude to the girls.

Fang Tong went to a hidden place and hid the meat and bones on his body. He didn't notice anyone following him, so he came out.

He found that many people were heading towards one place, and that direction seemed to be the execution platform.

I randomly stopped an old man who was also going that way, and called him "Uncle" sweetly, only to find out that today was the day for the execution of criminals!

Who else would be beheaded at this time except the looting victims?

Fang Tong immediately joined in and decided to watch the fun and see what would happen to Xiang.

The closer to the execution platform, the more people will come to watch!

Fang Tong arrived relatively early, and since he was as nimble as a loach, he quickly squeezed into the first row. On the stage, more than a dozen criminals in prison uniforms were tied up and kneeling on the stage.

Facing the impending death, they had different expressions. Some looked blankly ahead, some cried loudly and said sorry to their wives and children, and some looked up at the sky.

The weather is exceptionally sunny today when the execution is carried out.

Without exception, every criminal was accompanied by a fat and strong executioner, with the big knife in his hand stained with dried blood, shining coldly in the autumn morning sun.

Suddenly, I smelled a foul odor at the tip of my nose.

Looking closely, these criminals all had yellow unidentified objects hanging on their bodies. They didn't have rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs, and they couldn't afford to throw them away. So what they were throwing away...it goes without saying.

Fang Tong didn't care about the smell. He just needed to take a breath. He used to farm with manure, so this was no big deal.

Someone was still cursing: "What I threw away was fresh and hot this morning. I didn't even use my golden soup to water the ground. They got it for free."

"You can't do that. I got the news and covered it up for ten days in advance! It's fermented and there are bugs in it. It's very powerful!"

"Sixth Brother, aren't you a little too disgusting..."

Fang Tong paused and held his breath silently.

Then he looked intently at the faces of the prisoners on the stage.

There were a few that he had never seen before, but the others were the refugees who attacked them together with Xiang Wenbin that day.

Fang Tong frowned and searched the stage again, but still didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Where is Xiang Wenbin?

He turned his head and saw the big brother next to him who claimed to have been holding a golden soup for ten days. Just as he finished bragging, his eyes met his. Fang Tong choked up and said, "Hey, big brother, I heard there's a disaster leader named Xiang. Which one of these people is he?"

The one called Lao Liu was also a boaster. Upon hearing this, he immediately became excited: "You've asked the right person about this. It's said that Xiang was sent to the Dali Temple in the capital as an example because of his terrible behavior!"

Someone laughed at him: "Everyone knows about this, but you are the one who is blowing it up."

Lao Liu stuck his neck out: "Isn't there someone who doesn't know?"

Fang Tong's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Of course I am. Thanks to you for telling me, brother. Anyway, this guy named Xiang just left like that. Did he confess anything?"

This news was a bit secretive, and everyone shook their heads.

However, the sixth brother was even more excited, and glanced around with some pride: "You don't know this, right? I know!"

Some people questioned: "Is this true?"

To prove himself, Lao Liu quickly said, "That Xiang guy confessed his hiding place. It's said to be in a cave between the roads of Mushan Village and Xinghua Village!"

Everyone looked at him and praised him.

"Sixth Brother, you are indeed the little genius in our street. You know all this."

Fang Tong took the opportunity to praise him, then immediately asked, "Anything else? Anything else you want to confess?"

Lao Liu was very pleased and replied: "I won't say anything else, I just confessed this one."

Fang Tong was disappointed, but he mixed into the crowd with a smile on his face. After waiting for the execution on the stage, he left.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. How could Xiang Wenbin not have confessed Fang Jin and let him escape this fate?

Humph, even if Xiang Wenbin didn’t tell him, he would still bear this grudge.

After Fang Tong walked out, he looked at the streets and saw many stalls selling sugar figures, buns, malt sugar, and various small items.

The fact that so many people come out to set up stalls shows that the county town is relatively peaceful these days.

Every time he passed by a snack stall, he would go up and ask the price.

When I asked this question, I was even more shocked by the price.

The prices of almost all food have increased four or five times, especially those in shops selling pastries, which are more expensive than pork!

It’s too expensive, so expensive that it makes him feel sad just hearing about it!

But at the same time, he also thought of his own cakes. Apart from pastries, he really hadn't seen anything similar in the market.
