I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 55 Can You Show Your Face?

Ouyang, who was standing next to Li Jintian, smiled mysteriously.

"Since ancient times, one of the great powers of war has been the morale gathered by waving flags and drums. Looking at the six ships, only the C-shaped ship's drumming sound is the most clear. That's what it means."

Li Jintian nodded, thinking that what Ouyang said was reasonable.

Ye Erlang tilted his head and asked Jiang Zhi: "Sister-in-law, why do you think that boat passed the leading one in the end?"

Jiang Zhi put down the melon seeds, looked at the representative of the C-shaped dragon boat who was receiving the lottery on the temporary platform, and said, "There are two reasons. One is that the drums on that boat are the most powerful and have the most well-proportioned rhythm; But the movement range of the people above the C is almost the same, and they cooperate seamlessly with the drummer. On the other hand, the other groups are obviously not as good as the C in obeying the command, especially before the C has passed, the two ships in front are already fighting each other , the size C will naturally be followed by the oriole.”

"My sister-in-law and I thought about going together," Ye Xiaomei said.

"Why can't I see it?" Ye Erlang rubbed the back of his head, puzzled.

"Maybe the second brother is not careful enough." Ye Xiaomei joked.

"By the way, the C brand won, right? Can we go get the money? And there are people from our village! It really gives our village a face." Ye Xiaomei said while nibbling sunflower seeds.

"I'll go!" Ye Erlang held up the receipt. His sister-in-law paid out five coins, his younger sister paid ten coins, and he also paid ten coins, making a total of twenty-five coins.

Type C has a great chance of winning, and if you get back the principal together, you can get one hundred coins.

"Little uncle, brother Heng wants to eat pancakes!" Ye Heng asked with a small hand.

"Okay, brother Heng is waiting." Ye Erlang ran downstairs, Jiang Zhi saw that the snacks on the table were almost eaten, so she called the waiter to order a few side dishes.

As soon as the food was served, Ye Erlang came back with the pancakes in his hands.

He wiped his sweat, tore the pancake into several pieces and put them on the plate, Ye Heng couldn't wait to take a piece and ate it.

"There are too many people exchanging money. Thanks to my small stature, I would have to squeeze in for a while." Ye Erlang lifted a stool and sat down.

"Second brother is lucky, eat a chicken leg and grow taller." Ye Xiaomei took a chicken leg for Ye Erlang.

Ye Erlang readily accepted, but why did he feel that what his sister said was not good?
Without waiting for Li Jintian, Ouyang left the pier by himself. He found the restaurant he often went to and prepared to step up.

"My lord, please stay." Zhou Qi was panting while carrying the basket.

Ouyang turned his head and looked over, Zhou Qi immediately clasped his arms and bowed to him. After the salute, Zhou Qi said: "My lord, I have a treasure here, and I hope my lord will give me a favor."

"Huh?" Ouyang was very puzzled. He just came to Xin'an County not long ago, and he hasn't been known to everyone yet. How could someone call him by his official name?
"This villain just got it." Zhou Qi lifted the veil on the basket, revealing the white sugar inside, which weighed two catties.

"Why do you have this?" Ouyang opened his eyes and looked at the basket of sugar cubes.

"My lord must know about these candies. Last time, the county magistrate bought them from a small shop, and the shop got them from a young lady. I wonder if my lord will give you a favor?" Zhou Qi bowed all the time. The waist is bent, and the posture is quite respectful.

"This..." Ouyang hesitated a little, the monthly salary of the master bookkeeper is nine guan, he heard that this thing will be worth one or two hundred coins, and a catty is three hundred guan and three hundred coins.

Also too expensive.

But Ouyang was very moved.

In this deserted Xin'an County, only a little sweetness can comfort his heart.

Forget it, so what if you spend a few pennies?The big deal is daily sugar with white porridge.

"How many do you have here?"

When Zhou Qi heard it, there was a play!hey-hey.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I don't dare to make a false price, 120 Wen a tael, I have two catties here, I will charge you three pennies and three hundred coins."

so expensive?
He didn't ask magistrate Li how much he paid for it, but Ouyang intuitively felt that he was cheated.

A tael of white sugar is enough to buy three buckets of rice, and in a bumper harvest year, 120 is enough to buy five buckets of rice.

This price is too ridiculous.

"My lord would rather not think it too expensive. The villain really has no choice, because the lady who sells the sugar cubes to the villain costs a little more than a hundred pennies. The villain really has no profit, so he can only raise the price a little bit, but It's also within the acceptable range." Zhou Qi had a bent face, extremely wronged.

In fact, he paid eighty yuan and one tael.

This purchase price is really gratifying. If he doesn't raise the price, won't he lose money?

"Take this sachet and send it to Xiashan Residence in the south of the city, and someone will give you money."

"Hey, well, thank you, Master Master."

Ouyang flicked his sleeves and went to the restaurant. He was bleeding profusely today. Ouyang ordered a plate of beans and drank slowly with a pot of dirty wine.

Two men at the next table were eating melon seeds and drinking wine.

"I heard that a number one scholar came to our county to be the master book. He is the number one scholar, or the famous Ouyang. Oh, in our Daning, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?"

"I don't know who offended someone at the top. It's really embarrassing that the dignified scholar of the Hanlin Academy has been reduced to a small master."

"Who says it's not? We ordinary people have the difficulties of ordinary people, and officials also have difficulties of being officials. Officials will lose their lives if they don't pay attention."

"It's better to be ordinary people, just to eat and wear every day, and don't have to worry about who will kill us."

Come on, Ouyang Douzi couldn't chew anymore.Since he became famous for his poems, he has become a topic of conversation in the Daning Dynasty, and the common people will make fun of him if there is any disturbance.At this moment, he was down and out, although it would not make him worse, but it would be embarrassing for the Lord to hear such small words.

The beans couldn't be swallowed, like a stick in the throat.

"Mother, hurry up, mother." Ye Heng ran ahead on his short legs, not forgetting to turn around and call his mother.

Before Jiang Zhi could speak, Ye Xiaomei stepped forward and grabbed Ye Heng by the collar: "Brother Heng, slow down, don't fall."

Ye Heng waved his little hand, trying to break free from Ye Xiaomei's restraint, Jiang Zhi helplessly reached out to stroke his hair and said softly, "Baby, can you run after you get down the stairs?"

"Okay." Ye Heng fell silent instantly, and went down the stairs holding on to the railing.

Ouyang raised his head, just in time to meet Jiang Zhi's looking down.The eyes of the two met for a moment, Jiang Zhi calmly withdrew her gaze, and Ouyang lowered his head and took another bite of beans.

Unexpectedly, there was such a spiritual person in the countryside, and he almost lost his composure.The woman's face was not perfect, but there was a little bit of divinity in that temperament, which even the official ladies in the palace didn't have.

Out of the corner of Ouyang's eye, he watched Jiang Zhi's family check out and leave.

Jiang Zhi went to the government-run wine shop to buy two large jars of spirits, which cost 650 Wen.

To make perfume, it must be highly alcoholic. The purity and degree of spirits are higher than ordinary wine, and it will be easier to refine.
