"Dong dong"

Shopkeeper Li lightly pressed his fingers on the square table in front of Lu Sheige. When he saw the boy who had lowered his head and was chewing peanuts raised his head blankly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Why, do the peanuts in my store taste good?"

"tasty."

Lu Xiuge looked at the five or six peanuts peeled in front of him and asked curiously: "Are the new peanuts ready to be harvested now?"

Although she doesn't know much about farming, she also knows that peanuts don't mature until July or August.

"These are last year's flowers, but they were boiled twice with more water. They are not this year's new peanuts."

Shopkeeper Li twisted a peanut in his hand without peeling it, but just held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The year before last was a big one, and most of the peanuts were flooded, so there was almost no harvest. Last year was a big one, and most of the peanuts harvested were not very full.

But all the boiled peanuts sold in Laifushun store are full of grains, and the price is surprisingly expensive.

The small dish on the table costs RMB 66, which is more than the price of a large meat dish in other stores.

The price of a dish of boiled peanuts is enough for an ordinary poor family to buy two kilograms of brown rice and wild vegetables to eat for several days.

But at Lai Fu, most of the customers, not to mention eight out of ten, order this dish of boiled peanuts that is not available in other stores.

The taste is unique, and the other reason is that the boiled peanuts are cold, so it is suitable for eating, and it is also suitable for serving when chatting.

This matter between the rebel army and the imperial court is still unknown to the villagers. However, most of the passing ships have already gotten up early.

Lu Sheige gathered up the few peanut shells in front of him and looked up at the store.

The previous customer left at some unknown time, and the dishes and chopsticks had been cleared away. Now there were only her and Li Zhang in the store, and a boy stood at the door of the store, keeping an eye on the ships and merchants passing by.

"Uncle Li, you can't just add salt and tangerine peel to the boiled peanuts. You also need to add star anise, strawberries, cloves, nutmeg, bay leaves, and fennel to make it taste good."

"How much do you need to put in each one?"

After asking, shopkeeper Li hesitated again, "Although the store never sells boiled peanuts, if we want to share the profits..."

"Uncle Li, I don't want to share. I can also tell you the ingredients you want. I guarantee it will taste better than what you make in your store. It's just..."

Lu Sheige carefully approached Shopkeeper Li and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me, will the Hongying Army really attack the capital?"

"You are so young, why do you dare to ask anything?"

Shopkeeper Li noticed the boy in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, "It will definitely be beaten. But not yet, at least until autumn is over and there is food."

Ordinary children would be frightened when they heard him talking about the Hongying Army to his guests, but he kept paying attention. When they were talking, Lu Xiaosi was eating and drinking, as if he didn't understand what they were saying at all.

If you really can't hear it, it's normal.

But now?

It was obvious that he had been listening to what they said, but he acted as if he didn't care.

This kid is a bit interesting.

He is good-looking and smart, and is nothing like the honest and friendly look of Lu Quan and his wife.

Lu Xiangge thought for a while: "After the autumn harvest, will it be too late? By then, the food will have been collected by the court, will they still have food?"

Shopkeeper Li had a mysterious smile on his face: "Do you know where the grain we harvest here every year goes?"

Where have you gone?

Food from various places should be concentrated in each county, leaving part in the grain and sending part to the capital.

Although Nanyang County is further away from the capital than Huaicheng, the grain from Nanyang County is transported all the way to Huaicheng.

Now that Huaicheng is occupied by the rebel army, the food from Nanyang County should naturally be transported to the capital!

Lu Xiuge: "It used to be shipped to Huaihe, but now it should be shipped to the capital."

Shopkeeper Li shook his head: "Logically, it should be shipped to Beijing, but no one can say for sure about the imperial court. It's also possible that this year's grain will be shipped to Huaicheng."

"ah?"

Lu Sheige seemed not to have expected such a response. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at the slightly serious shopkeeper Li in front of her: "Send...send to Huaicheng? Why send it to Huaicheng? (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 71: Huaicheng

"

Unless these officials in the imperial court are out of their minds, they will send new grain to the rebels!

Isn't this crazy?

"Why not."

Shopkeeper Li looked at the young man in front of him sternly, "Is it possible that Dongyang and Nanyang counties have already fallen into the hands of the Hongying Army, and we outsiders don't know it."

Lu Sheige straightened up suddenly: "Why did we fall into the hands of the Hongying Army without fighting?"

If the Hongying Army wanted to occupy a city, wouldn't they have to use a knife to do so, spending countless people, and even sacrificing many innocent people?

Facing Shopkeeper Li's calm face, Lu Sheige suddenly thought of something terrible, and his heart jumped suddenly.

For example, has the Hongying Army and the government colluded for a long time?

Then, everything Shopkeeper Li said can be true. Dongyang County and Nanyang County appear to be in the hands of the imperial court, but in fact they have already fallen into the control of the Hongying Army.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xiangge couldn't help but trembled in excitement: "Uncle Li, didn't you say that the Red Tassel Army only revolted in Huaicheng in March?"

How could they capture Yutai and Dongyang County officials at such a speed?

Even if the imperial court is corrupt, neither are these officials. Why should they trust a team that has just revolted and abandon the imperial court that they should be loyal to?

"It is said to be the third day of this year. In fact, the Hongying Army had already revolted in Dongyang County the year before last. No, they were said to be bandits before, and it was not known to everyone. This time there happened to be a disaster in Huaicheng, and the Hongying Army also came out.

It’s just famous.”

However, it is not clear whether it is fire from heaven or human beings.

There was an uprising in Dongyang County the year before last?

Banditry?

Lu Sheige lowered his head and looked at the table in a daze. Isn't Lujiazhuang Dongyang County?

Could it be that Master Lu's story is also related to the Hongying Army uprising?

Also, her father may not have hooked up with the mountains, but with the rebels?

this……

There was no room for Lu Xiangge, so shopkeeper Li raised his hand and gently rubbed Lu Xiangge's head: "Xiao, go back and tell your father to buy more. Don't panic when you have food in your hand."

This time, Lu Xiangge did not pretend not to understand. Instead, he bowed his hands to Shopkeeper Li with great respect: "Thank you, Uncle Li, for reminding me."

Even if shopkeeper Li didn't mention it, she still knew she had to buy food at this moment.

But shopkeeper Li can remind her that she must remember this love.

Shopkeeper Li looked intently at the dock not far away. There were not many ships docked in the originally bustling dock.

Those ships coming out of Huai City spread the news that the rebel army was about to go to the capital. Those who still had rice to cook at home would not risk their lives and not walk outside at this time of crisis.

Who knows which one, accident or wealth, will come first!
