Chapter 168: New Year's Day, so unlucky

On New Year's Eve, people in the C-shaped prison finally starved to death.

Fan Jiucheng was very satisfied and urged Chen Guanlou to hurry up and do the work of the A-shaped prison.

Chen Guanlou:......

The news that should be spread has been spread. Even if the court wants to take action, it will have to wait until the holiday is over and the new year begins. Fan Jiucheng was too eager.

What is more urgent is the C-shaped large prison. Damn it, you don’t listen to instructions and do things!

In the cafeteria, he caught Lu Datou and asked quietly, "The C-shaped prison has completed its mission in such a short period of time. Are you cutting off water?"

Starvation for three to five days will not kill anyone, but deprivation of water for three to five days will definitely kill someone. If someone died on New Year's Eve, extraordinary measures must have been taken.

Lu Datou looked around and took Chen Guanlou to the corner to talk.

I had pork belly for lunch today, and the chef rarely showed off his impressive skills. During the Chinese New Year, eat something good, not pig food every day.

Lu Datou's mouth was full of oil after eating, and he complained by the way, "Fat Cao obviously has a skill, but he hides it. The food he usually cooks is no different from pig food. All year round, on this New Year's day, he is willing to cook with all his heart A good meal.”

"It's good to have some to eat. What are you doing in the C-shaped prison? You can't wait for the Chinese New Year, so you have to carry the body on New Year's Eve?"

"You have to ask Xu Fugui about this matter. It's none of my business. I'm innocent. Xu Fugui wants to earn some recognition. His father-in-law owns a grain and oil shop. He wants to relieve Tian Lao of his worries. You know. So this time I heard He said he wanted to show off to the prisoner, and he was very active. I guess he was planning to give a gift to Fan Yucheng."

"He wants to take over the Tianlao rice and grain business? Can he afford it?" Chen Guanlou complained. With the body of Xu Fugui’s father-in-law, he wanted to take over Tianlao’s food business, which was a wishful thinking.

Lu Datou chuckled, "It's okay if you can eat half! If you can't eat half, you can eat 30% to 20%, it's still a business. Recently, the price of food in the capital has increased. According to experienced people, the drought may continue after spring begins. , The price will increase when the time comes. His father-in-law wants to take advantage of Tianlao's business, hehe, obviously he made a lot of money from this price increase. "

"Xu Fugui must have participated in his father-in-law's grain business, otherwise he wouldn't be so active." Chen Guanlou said firmly, "But his eating appearance is too ugly. We had made an appointment before, and we met on the fifth day of the first lunar month. God of Wealth, it’s good for him to die again. It’s the New Year’s Eve. Isn’t he afraid that he will not be unlucky next year?”

Things are so bad, there are always people playing tricks and not doing things as agreed in advance. He always thinks that he is the smartest and most capable and can seize the opportunity, and he always wants to dominate others.

It’s all a mess! A master of internal strife.

Lu Datou didn't have any psychological burden at all. "People are dead. It's useless to say this. It's better to eat two more pieces of meat. You didn't touch the meat in the bowl. You think the meat is not delicious? I'll help you eat it."

"Eat, eat!" Chen Guanlou pushed the bowl forward and gave it all to Lu Datou, "You are C-shaped and big, so no one objects?"

"Why are you objecting? Those scum will die when they die. It's just the difference between dying early and dying later. If you die a few days earlier, you can save some food. Chen Tou, you are too kind-hearted. You must not have a conscience when you are working in Tianlao."

"I am adhering to the bottom line of human nature." Chen Guanlou snorted coldly.

"I don't know what is human or inhumane. I only know how to get paid to work as an errand."

"Don't you think it's unlucky? I'm not afraid it will affect your gambling luck."

"I'm so scared! We've already been reduced to working in Tianlao. How can we have any luck? How unlucky can it be more unlucky than working in Tianlao in the dark? You just think too much. Besides, Xu Fugui is the boss. As a jailer, what can I do if I don’t listen to him?”

Chen Guanlou had nothing to say.

He pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Please keep an eye on Xu Fugui for me."

"What should I pay attention to?"

"Since he wants to do the grain business, you should pay attention to the grain."

"what you up to?"

"Nothing to do, just be prepared."

He wanted to use Xu Fugui's plan to get a glimpse of the truth about the upper-level interest structure of Tianlao. If Xu Fugui can really win the grain business, it means that the upper-level interest structure of Tianlao has changed. It can be further speculated that the positions of some people may have to change.

There is no need to talk to Lu Datou about these matters.

In the evening, go on a errand and celebrate the New Year.

He made an appointment with Master Du to celebrate the New Year together in the evening.

There were only three people in total, preparing a large table of food and wine.

This year is definitely a good year, so it’s time to be extravagant. Top-quality rice wine, fresh game meat brought from the house of Hou Mansion, and secret seasoning packets brought from the chef of Hou Mansion. The heir to the imperial chef is extraordinary. With the use of secret seasoning packets, the food and wine are obviously more fragrant and more delicious.

An old servant with mediocre skills was transformed into a master chef.

"Master, let me toast you first. This year, you and I have made a successful start by working together. Next year, we will continue our efforts and strive to reach a higher level."

Master Du smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and said happily: "Let's go together. I have been hanging out in the capital for so many years. Every year during the Chinese New Year, I feel particularly ashamed and ashamed of my family. After all these years, I have given to my family. He only has less than one hundred taels of silver, and occasionally needs support from his hometown.

Only this year, I gave my family two hundred taels in one go. My family replied to the letter, and I was finally able to renovate the old house and add three more brick and tile houses. My youngest son should also get married and start a family, and my eldest grandson can go to school in the county. There is also some money left to exempt the eldest son's family from the service, and to buy some decent gifts for several masters in the county. The rest of the money was all used to buy land, and the best irrigated land is rare!"

"Oh, you can buy irrigated land, Master Du, you are great! These days, unless the family really can't make ends meet, no one will sell irrigated land. Don't be fooled by others."

"That can't be done! A relative of our family lost a man, and there are evil people in the clan who make things difficult for us. Seeing that our family is kind, they decided to sell the irrigated land to our family."

"Then didn't you offend the evil people in the clan? "While Chen Guanlou said this, he thought of the young widow Pan Niangzi. What a similar reason, what a similar experience. He felt uncomfortable and could only drink to relieve his worries.

Master Du laughed, "I have my own precautions for this matter. After all, I have a reputation and I teach in the private school of the Marquis' Mansion. The banner of the Marquis' Mansion is still very useful, especially in small places. When people hear that I am a teacher in the Marquis' Mansion, even the local government has to look up to me.

What's more, now that the eldest master has defeated the rebels, it is the time of prosperity. Naturally, the old man, a private school teacher, is also rising in my hometown. In just these two days, I have received no less than three letters from my hometown to say hello.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. You are not very sensitive in the capital. If you go to other places, report your origins, no matter whether you are out of the five mournings, your surname is better than any name card. If you do business, you can make a lot of money. "

Chen Guanlou said with a smile: "According to what you said, I can go out to do some business after the New Year, and I will be rich."

"If you really want to do business, you may be able to make a fortune."
