Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 149 What to buy

"You always want to be lazy when the master asks you to do things." After leaving the study, Lai Cai began to talk about Bafang: "We are not young anymore. What are we afraid of if we put in some effort to work for the master?"

"When I say Lai Cai, don't you, our brothers, understand me? Am I the kind of lazy person?"

"that is!"

Bafang stopped, leaned against the wall of the front and back offices, and sighed: "You really don't understand me."

"What kind of trouble are you making?" Laicai turned around and pulled him back, "If you don't go to the stable, just help me do something in the backyard."

Bafang's strength could not match that of Cai Cai, so he could only drag him into the back office.

The two of them entered the back office and saw Mancang carrying a casserole to the front.

"Okay, there's no need for me to serve the soup." Bafang shook off Lai Cai's hand, "When you have a new person, you forget about the old one."

"What are you so upset about?" Lai Cai asked strangely, "Why don't you have to make an extra trip? Do you have to hang out in front of the young master?"

"Am I sour? Don't you feel that the young master has changed?"

Lai Cai: "What are you talking about?"

"Think about what the young master did to us in the past in the capital, and what the situation is like now." Bafang said, "In the past in the capital, as long as the prince didn't look for the young master, the three of us would get together to practice martial arts and take classes. , go to the streets to play.

Whether it's in the General's Mansion or on the street, as long as we're not in the palace, the three of us are always together.

What now? "

Lai Cai: "Aren't you following the young master every day now? Are you the one guarding the Yamen every day?"

"That's not what I meant." Bafang stepped forward and grabbed Laicai, "Look, since Mancang came, she has done a lot of work. For example, it used to be my job to help the young master get up, but now I have to do it. You can’t even enter the young master’s bedroom.”

"I can't enter the young master's bedroom." Lai Cai retorted, "Don't tell me that you helped the young master get up. I haven't seen you get up earlier than the young master a few times. Besides, it's the young master's bedroom. You go in. What to do?"

"You don't understand. I was talking about the barrier, but you only thought it was the bedroom."

"I think you're out of your mind." Lai Cai slapped him on the shoulder, "Work!"

Mancang put down the small casserole but did not leave. He just stood at the table and stared at the casserole.

Seeing this, Meng Changqing put down his brush, opened the lid of the pot, and gave her a bowl.

Mancang held the bowl and sat on the stool next to him to drink. After a while, he finished the drink and returned to Meng Changqing, "Not full."

Meng Changqing pinched the flesh on her face and gave her another bowl.

There was only one bottom left in the small casserole, and Meng Changqing directly picked up the casserole and drank it all in several mouthfuls.

At this moment, Yang Zheng's voice came from outside the study, "Mr. Meng, I have something to ask you."

"Brother Yang, please come in quickly." Meng Changqing packed up the casserole bowls and spoons and handed them to Mancang, "Take them back to the back office. Be careful and walk slowly on the road."

"Master Meng." Yang Zheng came in and stood next to Meng Changqing's desk, "Someone in Luojia Village wants to buy something from the treasury. Do you think this can be agreed to?"

"What to buy?"

"Fur." Yang Zheng said in detail: "Didn't Bafang ask people from Luojia Village to make fur gloves and socks? Luo Sanmu wanted to make some more and sell them to the soldiers guarding the wall, but he had to wait for several days to make the furs. I just want to buy some from the county government warehouse."

"What price do you charge? Sell it to them at a slightly higher price. Just keep clear records of entry and exit." Meng Changqing asked again, "How many people have started business there? What are they selling?"
