……

Soon, Gousheng knew the reason for the abnormal price of noodles.

There was a commotion at the bazaar from the entrance.

"Officer, official, the villain is just opening..."

"Didn't I hand it over just now..."

"Officer, the villain is really a small business..."

Several diners at the stall quickly stood up, calculated the money in a panic, and left with their heads down and horror.

"newcomer?"

A few people wearing bright clothes of government servants came in loudly, and the leading one looked at the food stall and asked.

Liu Datie was frightened by the situation and stood shyly aside.

"Yes, yes! Do the officials want to have a taste?" Gousheng stepped forward and greeted.

A few yamen servants didn't answer, just randomly picked meat skewers out of the pot, ate them and ruined them.

Distressed expressions appeared on the faces of the three remaining dogs.

"Pooh!"

The leader chewed a piece of tendon and spit it out in the whole pot.

Gou Sheng trembled in his heart, it seems that today is not going to be good, he probably wants to show off to the newcomers, a few yamen servants went too far, a few small stools were kicked far away, and all the dishes were given to him. ruined...

"What are you guys doing? Just tell me what you want?" Shanguan couldn't help asking as he watched the lump of chewed tendon slowly disperse in the soup.

It took most of the night to cook the dog leftover soup slowly over a low fire, and the dishes were made by the whole family...

"What? Father and son can't eat!"

The leader kicked the pot so hard that the whole pot fell to the ground.

Liu Datie exclaimed, pulled the two little ones back several steps, but was still splashed by the hot soup, and jumped to his feet!

Several yamen servants laughed out loud.

"Officer, we didn't know the rules when we first came here, so you told me about it, and we will keep it in our hearts!" Gou Sheng leaned over cautiously and said, grabbing a handful of the copper coins he had just collected and handing it over in a fawning manner.

The few yamen servants probably had a lot of trouble, and one of them stood up and said, "Do you know who this is? He is the brother-in-law of our county magistrate. From now on, this market will be exclusively managed by my uncle. As long as you are honest Paying the fee, my uncle is naturally not embarrassing..."

Gou Sheng kept saying yes, and handed over the entire money jar.

"Why so little?"

"Master, you also know that we are only opening for the first day..." Gou Sheng explained with his head lowered, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Stop talking nonsense, I think this is a prosperous shop of yours, with [-] cents a time, nothing less!" The leader of the yamen, who is said to be the county grandpa's brother-in-law, slammed on the iron pot where the noodles were cooked. past.

"Gog left!" The mountain official screamed.

Gou Sheng dodged to the side suddenly, the ground was already full of soup, water and various vegetables, his foot slipped, and he was lucky to avoid the boiling soup that was covering his face, but the soup still splashed half of his body, even his face was bruised Not spared.

The mountain official rushed over and hugged Gou Sheng, not daring to touch Gou Sheng's hand covering his face, "Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng, how about..."

Seeing what happened, those few people just laughed gloatingly, and flattered the little uncle one after another, saying that he was amazing.

Shan Guan gritted his teeth loudly.

"Shanguan, father, give the money to all the officials!" Gou Sheng said with all his strength, trembling all over.

With trembling hands and feet, Liu Datie took out another dozen coins from his pocket...

After a few yamen servants walked away, the vendors nearby came around, trying to persuade and explain the situation.

"...how is it? Take it to the doctor..."

"...There will be a disturbance every hour..."

"Spring is coming..."

Fortunately, it was still cold, and he was wearing a thick cotton padded jacket. Shanguan took off the clothes outside the dog with all his strength, but his body was not burned, only half of his face and hands had already had several large and small blisters.

A kind peddler brought a bowl of cold water to wash the wounded dog...

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go see the doctor..." Shanguan said repeatedly.

"Go back, there are herbs at home!" Gousheng said with difficulty, "Bring more cold water and apply it to my wound..."

Liu Datie tore open his sleeves forcefully, and covered Gou Sheng's face with cold water.

Gou Sheng couldn't control his body trembling, "Go back, go back quickly, don't mess with those people..."

……

"I didn't expect the town to become such a mess..." Darong sat on the edge of the kang and muttered.

Gou Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth with some difficulty, and a layer of homemade herbs was applied on his face.

Li Dahua put the pounded ointment in a bowl and brought it in, ready to change the ointment for Gousheng, "What do you think about this? He is a good person, with a scar on his face, how can he go out in the future? The official went to the pharmacy to ask Oh, for a black heart who kills thousands of knives, a dose of medicine costs half a tael of silver..."

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.

After Da Rong applied the ointment, he carefully peeled off the quick-drying ointment with a chopstick wrapped in a clean boiled cotton cloth, and Gou Sheng gasped in pain.

"Auntie, don't cry. This injury should be treated with medicine and taken care of carefully. It will not be obvious in the future. The dog is still young, and it may disappear in a few years!" Darong looked at it carefully and comforted.

Li Dahua wiped his nose carelessly, "Really?"

"Mother, don't worry, I can dispense the medicine myself, why would I prescribe it from the pharmacy..." Gou Sheng gasped after saying a few words, grinning his teeth in pain, and hurting the wound even more.

"If you want to tell me, I don't know! Stop talking!" Li Dahua hurriedly shouted.

Dayong carefully put a layer of medicine on the dog. After listening to Li Dahua's complaints for a while, he told the mountain official to buy more food before it was completely messed up, and stop feeding the rabbits for now. Not being able to sell is still a problem, so I went back with a look of concern.

"Brother Darong, where have you been?"

Li Qingyuan ran out of the room in a "clack-clack" and slammed into Darong.

Darong easily picked him up and held him in his arms.

Li Qingyuan was favored by Darong in daily life, and all the food and drink expenses were not available in the village, so he had an impetuous temper, he had grown up in Liushutun for three years and didn't let it go, he was always incompatible with Liushutun.

If you ask other people to say that this child is not to be favored, it seems to Darong himself that he really came from a big family. After all, he still has some background...

"Brother went to see Brother Gousheng. His face was scalded by bad guys, so he could only recuperate in the house. My brother told him that he was a good friend, so of course I wanted to visit him..." Darong said in detail, Teach Li Qingyuan how to behave in the world, while walking in, "Didn't my brother tell you that you have to walk away, why are you so rampant..."

Grandma Sun came out with a basin of muddy water, just as she saw Darong hugging Li Qingyuan dotingly, "Why are you hugging Li Qingyuan again, didn't you tell Yuan to go away by himself, what a grown-up..."

"Grandma, I just ask Brother Darong to give her a hug!" Li Qingyuan pouted.

Grandma Sun smiled, "Hey, Xiao Yuan is good..."

Dayong brought a few books to Gou Sheng, so that Gou Sheng would not be too sad when he was recovering from his injuries.

In the past, Gou Sheng never asked Da Rong to bring the book back to read such an excessive request. This time, the medical book is even more priceless. At the beginning, Da Rong only asked Gou Sheng to read it by himself, and Gou Sheng even asked Shangshan officials to read it together. I have never thought about it, and I only have the opportunity to talk to the mountain officials by myself on weekdays.

The burn was severe this time, so Darong let go and asked Shan Guan to follow along.

"You don't have to be so cautious. This thing was originally used to save people. If you achieve something, you will pass it on when you meet qualified dolls..."

Gou Sheng was extremely grateful to Chong Da Rong, saying that it should be...

Li Dahua stayed on guard for a long time, and did not go back until the mountain officials were done with their work.

"Here, brother Big Rong sent it over and asked us to watch it together!" Gou Sheng said about it excitedly.

Shanguan looked at the beaming man, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, which was only fleeting, and then he was distracted by the matter of changing the medicine for the leftover dog.

Dayong also sent a box of white and delicate ointment, and told the official to use it when the dog's wound stopped flowing, so that the scar would be smaller in the future.

"Father and I will go buy food tomorrow. No matter how expensive it is, we can buy enough food for the whole family for a year..." the official said in a low voice.

Gou Sheng nodded, "Be careful, avoid those yamen servants!"

"I know, if you don't say a few words, it will save your face from hurting!" Shan Guan confessed.

Gousheng's injury made the whole family feel uncomfortable, Zhutou, who always loves to run wild outside, has become more sensible, and followed Liu Datie to the field to help...

The people in the village soon noticed the strangeness. There were people like the county grandpa’s brother-in-law or uncle slaughtering money everywhere, and the price of everything was raised. You can not buy other things that are too expensive, but you still need oil and salt!Good eggs are sold, no one wants them if they are expensive, and there is not enough to hand them over to the government officials if they are cheap.

For a while, people in the village were talking about this matter, and every time someone went to the town, they would bring back new bad news—the price of meat has risen again today, and tomorrow the cloth shop will call the county magistrate, eighth aunt, grandma, Lao Ziniang go...

Families like Gousheng who still have a little wealth can get by, but many poor and white people have already started to eat boiled vegetables in plain water!

"There is no way to go on like this, that is, if we can buy back all the food and food for three years, will the county magistrate let us farmers go, and after three years..."

Gou Sheng and Shan Guan were at Darong's house, and the three of them gathered around and talked in a low voice.

There are already some people who can't survive in the town, and hid in places like Liushutun. They built a straw hut randomly on the edge of the village, and the family temporarily had a shelter. They made a living by finding wild vegetables and occasionally helping the town. Well, winter is going to be tough!

"Look again, it's not ready yet!" Darong said lightly, with a confident look on his face.

"You have a solution, Big Brother?" Gou Sheng asked in surprise.

"Wait!" Darong only said one word.

Gou Sheng suddenly felt at ease.

The three of them talked for a while, and Gousheng gave Darong a detailed explanation of the uses of the several commonly used herbs that he had brought before going back...
