Chapter 80 Eating Meat (First Order)
Even though he had never copied the official document "Braid Cutting Order" issued by the county government, after receiving the reward, he felt that he had become an accomplice to the evil.

Contrary to the teaching of Mr.

"Uncle Zheng is right. I am in high school now, and I have already graduated from junior school."

Xu Er didn't understand what Zheng Xuli meant, so he answered truthfully.

The certificate of completion should have nothing to do with this triangular money.He wondered.

With a sneer, Zheng Xuli drank all the cups of tea, "Is there a tax stamp on your graduation certificate? As I remember, it's worth two cents?"

(See Chapter 33, Miss of the county government office.)
"In the former Qing Dynasty, there was an order to collect stamp duty in various places, but like the "Imperial School Regulations", it is still in the stage of deliberation and has not been implemented. Your two-corner tax stamp is the county magistrate, oh, No, the county magistrate added it."

In the second half of the sentence, Zheng Xuli deliberately lowered his voice, making it inaudible.

Although there is no one outside the house, I am also afraid that the partition has ears, and if I talk to the executive privately, I will be put on little shoes if I talk about it in the future.He has to be careful with his words and deeds.The current Xu Er stupefaction has been with him for a while, and after receiving the reward, he is considered one of his own.

"Additionally by the county magistrate?"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Er was stunned.These two cents are not easy for him to get.At that time, he had just graduated from elementary school and had no additional sources of income.Unable to do so, Xu San'er begged the master again, borrowed two cents, and helped him pay the tax stamp for the two cents.Among the IOUs that the master burned in the ancestral hall, the latest one contained this amount.

Without warning, he was exploited by the county magistrate.

If Zheng Xuli hadn't reminded him at this moment, he probably wouldn't have understood this matter in his whole life.

"Three cents, two cents, I made an extra dime."

The county magistrate was too condescending, and Xu Er had no intention of revenge.On the contrary, now that he has won the benefits of the county government, he calculated in his heart that he had made more money, and his sad thoughts suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that this changed the world, not that it was bad for him.

"Don't go out and say this. It's all about the Qing Dynasty. A few days ago, Yanjing's decree arrived, and it was ready to collect stamp duty... If you don't mention this matter, I won't say it. Everyone doesn't know , just like that."

Zheng Xuli gave another word to Xu Er's idiot.

Originally, stamp duty was a type of tax to be issued in the former Qing Dynasty imitating Western letters.It's just that due to various reasons, the collection has not been able to start.Now, it's just a rehash of the past, a new chapter, a new country and a new atmosphere.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, I'm sure I won't talk nonsense. If I say it, what good will it do me?" Xu Er nodded firmly, he was also an old man of the county magistrate.The loss-making business finally saw benefits, how could he break all this.Secondly, he has no ability to fight against the county magistrate.

Sir..., sir, didn't you say anything?
He ignored it all.

"Ruzi can be taught."

Zheng Xuli added new tea to the cup, it was steaming hot, and he patted the young man on the shoulder, "Go back early this morning, buy some good ones, and treat yourself. Counting on a few hard-earned coppers, you can't support your family." Room. If you don’t make money, other people will.”

As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Er was once again enlightened.

Others wanted to squeeze in, but they didn't have this way.

Not everyone can enter the county government office.

Besides, if he didn't take the money, he would lose his temporary assignment.It is self-evident how important this assignment is to him.Taking a step back, if he doesn't get along with others and leaves the county government office, what can he do, be another old master?Slaughtered like pigs.

Shaoqing, he took a knife of paper from Zheng Xuli, and walked out of the county government office with a few ink ingots.When he left, his mind was still a little dizzy, and he was shocked by the great joy.

On the street, there are really many people with braids!
Xu Er's stupid heart suddenly wanted to laugh freely.

With his eyes open, he searched for passers-by. He glanced at the enlightened gentry, who all had their braids cut and would not pay a fine.His eyes fell on uncivilized, enlightened people, all of them with braids, but all of them were skinny and squatting.Such a person, after picking the lean meat and fat, how many people, when will he be able to make up his other three cents?He was immediately disappointed and dissatisfied.

A bunch of poor people.

"Straight mother thief! How can they be civilized people!"

Xu Er stared blankly at the glamorous gentlemen walking from the street, couldn't help but spit, hit the ground, and said dissatisfied.

If an enlightened gentry was exploited, the reward he would get would be more than three cents, one double-cornered silver penny, and one single-cornered silver penny.Maybe an extra silver dollar.But they are civilized and have their braids cut, so they won't be deceived by the county magistrate.They can distinguish the difference between the former Qing order and the current order.They will read newspapers, read magazines….

A feeling of nowhere to start.

call!
The anger suppressed in the chest burst out and turned into a long breath.Xu Er fumbled for a penny hidden in his purse, and he went to the butcher shop, "Cut a dime of meat, if it needs to be thin, cut more."

After getting the reward, he planned to reward himself according to what Zheng Xuli said.Well, and dad.It has been a long time since the house has had meat.He is not bad, he can go to the husband's apartment for a meal from time to time, and he can relieve his hunger for a few days.But Xu San'er was different, he was reluctant to spend money to cut flesh.

Fat meat is too expensive, half the price than thin meat.

A dime can cut more than a catty of meat.This is the price that has just risen after the turmoil. In the Taiping period, the price of pork will be cheaper.

"okay!"

The butcher with big shoulders and thick waist responded, and he threw half of the fat pig's body on the chopping board. The deboning sharp knife cut it precisely according to the fat pig's body structure, leaving more meat from the fan bone, more front legs, and more tenderloin Pick other parts, remove the fat from the whole body, and don't want to waste a little more.Finally, when he reached the lean meat that Xu Erlianzi needed, he slashed.

The palm-sized piece of meat was thrown onto the weighing platform, just enough for a dime.

Then, he skillfully wrapped the meat on oiled paper, tied it with hemp rope, and handed it to Xu Er.The whole process is done in one go, without redundant actions.

One person and one fox went home with the meat.

"Heh! Xu Cong bought meat from you?" Aunt Big Tooth's eyes lit up while washing clothes, her slightly cleft lips parted, and her big teeth were sticking with saliva.She is gluttonous.

"Brother, did you buy meat?"

A little girl, Pianzi, ran over, her neck stretched out, and she smelled the meat desperately.

"Xiao Baozi, um, I bought meat." The meat was here, and it was obvious that Xu Er followed them, talking nonsense.He looked at Xiao Baozi in front of him, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

She shouldn't be gluttonous, really.

This is her father's meat chopped off by the county government, and she is greedy for her father's meat.

Xiao Baozi is roughly the same as him. He lost his mother when he was young and is the daughter of Er Chaozi, a rickshaw driver.Now four years old.Uncle Chao treated Xiao Baozi as a free range, and gave him a way to survive.

"Auntie Big Tooth, let's make the meat into glutinous rice dumplings and distribute it to everyone, count me as a treat..."

"I've been taken care of by everyone."

Seeing the meat being seen by others, Xu Er's fool has no desire to enjoy it to himself.He is not a generous person.At least in terms of meat, he will not be generous.

Although he was taken care of, he also helped the people in the courtyard to settle accounts and write.

Small ginger soup, not worth a cent.

But meat... these days, anyone who can eat a few meals of meat is eating it secretly.

Passing the oiled paper wrapped in the meat to Auntie Da Ya, Xu Er felt a little upset, he opened the door of his house, walked in, and isolated Xiao Baozi who was following him.The little girl is annoying and not very good-looking. He is not good at taking care of children.

After reading for a while, Xu San'er came back.He lowered his voice, "Boy, I won't stop you from cutting meat. You have to eat meat because you are growing tall, but what's the matter if you let them see the meat? They eat meat and hide from people... ..."

He was reluctant to part with this catty of meat.How many bamboo mats do you have to make up to earn back this catty of meat.

Xu San'er said so.A timely picture appeared in Xu Er's head instantly.Aunt Big Tooth and Lai Fuer secretly hid in their private stove, eating big mouthfuls of meat, the paper of the grid fan was thickened by Lai Fuer, a paper painter, and their lips were covered with grease.No wonder Auntie Big Tooth is so fat.Feelings are always secretly hiding and eating meat, never giving it to others.

scare!It's the same as Zheng Xuli of the county government!
"I... got a reward from the county government, three dollars." Xu Er hesitated for a while, but said it anyway, "This is exploited by the county government..."

Dad is a reliable person who can reveal some things to him.In addition, Xu San'er has always refused to cut her braids, and this incident is a reason.He couldn't let his father be fined too.

"It's a good thing." Xu San'er finally saw that his son had become a man, and he said with joy: "You have been appreciated by Zheng Xuli, and the adults treat you as their own. You turn around and cut two catties of meat Send it to Zheng Xuli's mansion, my father is from here, although I haven't studied, you are right."

"As for the braids...the braids..." Xu San'er paced around the room, looking for scissors. Finally, he found a pair of scissors on the cabinet. Toy."

He cut off the sinking braid and threw it on the ground.

He should have integrated into a dozen or so powerful clan peers, but his son forced him to sell the river and irrigate the land and came to the county seat.There was still regret in his heart, but when he heard this good thing, the regret was swept away.

"I have to cut two catties of meat and give it to Uncle Zheng?"

Xu Er was so dumb that he couldn't bear the money.The dime was his calculated surplus.Wouldn't it be a waste of money to give up another two cents, and it would not be a cost-effective business.

"If you fail, ask Master Hu!"

"Master Hu is well-informed and knows how to do this."

Seeing the stupid look of the second fool, Xu San'er was a little annoyed.

Reading is stupid.

The father and son looked at the fox fairy curled up on the desk.

"Master Hu, talk back."

Xu San'er made a bow.

The gray-white fox turned over and walked back and forth on the table.It also doesn't know how to speak.Even without Xu San'er's persuasion, but because of the joy of Xu Erlian's reward, it also saw it.

For a long time, it hummed like a fox.

"Master Hu, do you think what my father said is correct?"

Xu Er was undecided in his heart.

The gray-white fox shook his head.

"Incorrect?"

It shook its head again.

"Brother, the meat dumplings are ready, and the noodles are ready, you come out to eat meat." Outside the door, Xiao Baozi's immature voice came in, and her voice was full of joy.

Finally, I can eat meat.

With Xiao Baozi's intervention, the two of them were not in a hurry to argue, so they opened the door.In an instant, the smell of meat simmered in the courtyard rushed over, making the mouth full of body fluids.
