The butcher said: "You mean that old guy? He came here yesterday and bought three kilograms. He hasn't come yet today..."
Chu Yao smiled awkwardly: "That's because I admitted it wrong, but it looks like it from a distance. Hey, is there any happy event in his family or is he getting rich? One purchase only costs three kilograms. Do you want to come here today?"
The butcher felt his teeth itching when he thought of the old man.
The old guy loves to take advantage, and his old hands are not honest. He always touches the meat on his stall when he is not looking. Are other customers still willing to buy it after seeing it? With a shy old face, he allows him to be sold at a low price, for a few cents
They want to take advantage of money and refuse to change despite repeated admonitions.
I haven't done this recently, but every time I come here I will deliberately slap copper coins and broken silver on his shop, pretending to loudly want to buy a few kilograms of meat or a few taels of bones, for fear that others can't hear clearly, and open my mouth to reveal the old age.
Yellow teeth, all that's left is spit.
However, the butcher is open for business and cannot drive customers away. In fact, he has already had his objections in his heart.
The butcher rolled his eyes and curled his lips: "What kind of happy event can happen to his family? He just had a grandson last month, but this old guy's eyes are not eyes, and his nose is not a nose. If you put it there, you're going to lose money."
, Bah! He even moved his legs, old guy, it’s so easy, let’s see if he can throw out an egg or not.”
Chu Yao listened patiently to the butcher's complaints - he knew that the butcher was just like his Wulang when it came to gossip, he liked to talk nonsense and talked about whatever he wanted - once the topic got too far, he would silently pull it back and finally heard the serious content.
The butcher said: "...he suddenly got rich a few days ago. It is said that his son took on a big job. He eats three to five kilograms of meat every day. Look at the way he eats a mouth full of fat. The old bones are still a handful of firewood.
I don’t know where all the meat has grown..."
Chu Yao said: "That means it is developed."
The butcher chopped the meat that the guests needed in two clicks. The other guests were also neighbors. When they talked about gossip, it was like riding the wind and waves without an oar. What you said to me was either jealous or envious, and there was a sense of jealousy or envy in the words.
Sour.
They looked down on that family, but they were really envious of them eating several kilograms of meat for so many days.
How not to be sour.
Alas, the roots of my teeth are getting sore.
Talking about a few days of big fish and meat, besides this family, they also know several other families. The smell of meat wafting out of the house every day really makes people hungry. Poor people can only eat some meat during festivals, but some people can
Eating meat as rice...
Immediately, some people secretly speculated that the money had come from an evil source.
As the leader of the topic, Chu Yao was the most silent among the group of people. He listened quietly as before, sometimes echoing a few words, and sometimes having doubts. After several people chatted until their tongues were dry, they patted their butts and left with satisfaction.
, it seems that the dissatisfaction and sourness have mostly dissipated with the gossip and chat, and I am satisfied.
Chu Zhen was satisfied, so he took out his money bag and bought two kilograms of meat.
The butcher asked: "Are you rich too?"
Chu Yao replied: "The master's money."
The butcher gave him two more taels and asked him to go back for more food.
When things were almost over, Chu Yao was about to leave, but Little Fatty grabbed his sleeve and looked at him with a pair of wet eyes.
He begged and said: "Teacher..."
Seeing this, Chu Yao asked, "How many days will I take Ah Rong away?"
The butcher waved his hand angrily and cursed: "Take it away as long as you don't come back. This kid has followed you, an old man, to get wild. Stay at home and make him angry all the time."
When the little chubby boy heard this, his face burst into laughter.
The butcher gritted his teeth when he saw it.
Whose son is this???
Chu Yao inquired about part of the information, and took Xiaopang Dun'er to another place under the pretext of purchasing. He had been living in Xiaocheng for so many years and had dealt with all kinds of religions. He could not directly inquire about the information related to the bank, but he did it in a roundabout way. Not a problem.
Humph, the management of the bank is very strict. Several inspections are required for servants to enter and exit, but they cannot control these seemingly inconspicuous "side tricks." Chu Yao is like an ordinary purchasing servant, waiting for Shen at the agreed place at sunset. Tang.
Shen Tang almost stepped over.
When she came back, the two of them were sitting harmoniously under the eaves of the roadside. Chu Yao folded a tree branch in his hand and wrote something on the ground. Little Fatty Dun'er hugged his knees with his hands and stared at the ground, leaning his upper body slightly towards Chu Yao. I'm afraid I'll miss a word.
"Wuhui, I'm back."
Chu Yao stood up and saluted, and Little Fatty Dun'er also followed suit.
Shen Tang was also familiar with Xiao Pang Dun'er. Seeing him holding a small package in his arms, he smiled and said, "Ah Rong is here too?"
Chu Yao said: "I'm worried that I will miss too much in my studies."
Go to the mountains to stay for a few days and then send you back.
Shen Tang nodded: "That's okay. After Zhai Le goes back, I won't have many peers to play with. Ah Rong is here just in time."
Chu Yao: "..."
Instead of playing with Goro, I was clearly being played by Goro.
Shen Tang summoned the motorcycle skillfully and put the things Chu Yao bought into the sack. Those that couldn't be packed were packed with hemp rope and put on its back. The most expensive things here are two pieces of paper, a box of ink ingots, and a few brushes. It's not even a good product.
Shen Tang teased Little Fatty: "It's a long, long mountain road to go back. If you regret it now, it's still too late."
Little Fatty Dun'er thought Shen Tang was going to drive him away.
He hugged Chu Yao's waist.
His black eyebrows stood upright, with a stubborn look on his face.
Chu Yao had no choice but to pat his hand, motioning for him to go away, and said: "I don't intend to drive you away, just sit on it and leave the city."
For convenience, he bought a mule to travel.
It was just right for the master and apprentice to share a mule.
He doesn't have the bad habit of praying for good deeds. He won't get on anything that's not a horse, a carriage, or a sedan. As long as he can walk on two legs, it doesn't matter what it is.
Not long after leaving the city.
"I met Gu Chi at noon."
"Gu Wangchao? What's wrong with him?"
Shen Tang recounted Gu Chi's words verbatim, as well as the details of their conversation, as well as her speculations. Chu Yao was silent for a long time after hearing this. He and Shen Tang had the same opinion, guessing that Beimo and Shiwu had joined forces, and he couldn't help but feel confused on his face A little more hidden worry.
Unlike Shiwu who likes to put gold on his face and try to get rich in the sun, Bei Mo seems to be more peaceful, but in fact he is more dangerous than Shiwu. He is more like a bloodthirsty and cruel wild wolf that lurks in the dark waiting for a killing blow. , the only thing they have in common is their ambition.
They coveted the hinterland of the mainland for a long time, but their past strength and ambition did not match.
Even the former Chu State taught Bei Mo how to behave.
"Chu State fought against Bei Mo?"
Chu Yao smiled strangely and said, "Hand it over."
After a pause, he asked again: "Otherwise, how do you think the once-famous 'Three Heroes of Chu' came to be known as the 'Three Heroes of Chu'? Most of them were defeated in the Northern Desert. The Northern Desert suffered a series of misfortunes and sent out several protons. I am asking for peace to express my position."
"Three Heroes of Chu State", all three of them passed through the Northern Desert.
Every time the Northern Desert tries to go south to cause trouble, the northwest countries will unite to send troops to attack. You send troops and I provide food, or we work together to send some people to let the young scribes and generals in the country gain experience.

1. The "child's skill" in the previous chapter is actually a joke. It should be the Qing Dynasty. The job of treasury silver seems to be passed down from father to son. In order to steal treasury silver, the children in the family have to expand their [court] flowers since they are young. , until it can be hidden as big as a silver ingot, and it can avoid entry and exit inspections without falling when walking.
2. I forgot which ancient novel I read about the butcher's saying, "The butcher loses his money." It was deeply impressive and disgusting. I don't know if such derogatory words about women really existed in ancient times.
