"What's the big deal? Be specific!" Liu Mo signaled the other party to calm down.
The visitor didn't say anything for a long time, but kept emphasizing, "Tofu, a thousand taels of gold!"
This made Liu Mo confused, "What the hell!"
"Mr. Liu, you'd better go and take a look for yourself!" the visitor said.
"Lead the way, lead the way!"
Having learned the lesson from last time, Liu Mo took Zhao Da with him this time.
Follow the visitor to Rongcheng Market.
Not far away, Su Xiaowan and the accompanying maid were seen arguing with a vendor selling tofu bread.
Su Xiaowan's maid put her hands on her hips, pointed at the boss and shouted, "Tell me again, how much?"
"Seventeen days, a total of one hundred and three kilograms, equivalent to five thousand five hundred and seventy taels of silver!"
"On a scale of sixteen taels, the weight of one hundred kilograms is one thousand six hundred and fifty-one taels, plus one twelve kilograms, one six is six, two six hundred and eighteen...how can it be five thousand five hundred and seventy taels?" What?" Su Xiaowan said in surprise.
"This lady," the vendor smiled, "You're talking about the portion, I'm talking about silver coins!"
"If we're counting silver, I have to figure out the weight first, and then talk about the silver! Isn't that right?" Su Xiaowan asked.
"Isn't this very clear? One hundred and thirteen kilograms of tofu, a total of five thousand five hundred and seventy taels of silver!"
"What? How much?" Su Xiaowan could hardly believe her ears. "Are you selling tofu brains or living human brains?"
"Girl, what you said is wrong." The vendor smiled, "I call the tofu made here three-brain tofu. Each pound of tofu contains three ounces of live fish brains, three ounces of duck brains, and three ounces of monkey brains. .
This fish is the mandarin fish that comes from the peach blossom season. This duck is the Ronghu red-faced duck. There are two types of monkeys. The first one is the big-eared macaque, and the other one is the snow mountain monkey.
This tofu brain is so precious. It costs you fifty-four taels per catty, which is very cheap. "
When the maid heard this, her face was filled with anger: "Boss, let's do this. Look at how many pounds I have. You pick a few by the pound and sell me by the pound to see if I can match your stupid price."
"Why are you talking like that!"
"How can you still ask me to speak? Five thousand five hundred and seventy taels... What kind of dragon or phoenix do I eat? Even our Rongcheng County Grand Master, with his annual salary, can't afford your several kilograms of tofu!"
The vendor grinned and said, "Miss, haven't you two eaten already? Come here every day for seventeen consecutive days!"
"Then can we spit it out for you?" The maid was extremely angry.
"Spit it out, it won't be tofu nao anymore!"
"Hmph! This lady will tell you, if you want money or someone, I will go with you."
"Hehe, do you want to renege on your debt?" The vendor showed a ferocious smile, "I can tell you, if you dare to renege on your debt today, report it to the official!"
As he said that, the vendor shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come on, people, there are people who eat tofu and don't give me money! Is there anyone who cares about it? Is there Wang Fala in Rongcheng? Don't give me money to eat, Qingtian The big master, make the decision for the villain!"
When the onlookers saw this, they started gesticulating.
"This is a trick played on Su Xiaowan..." Liu Mo thought to himself, "It's quite a trick!!!"
He winked at Ambassador Zhao, who pushed through the crowd and squeezed out a path.
After walking through the crowd, he first bowed to Su Xiaowan and saluted: "Miss Su, I'm so polite!"
"Mr. Liu..." Su Xiaowan's body trembled slightly, obviously a little excited, but soon she forced herself to calm down, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard you were in trouble!" Liu Mo replied.
"I don't need your help!" Su Xiaowan interrupted him and turned around, "Boss, you said your three-brain tofu is fifty-four taels of silver per catty?"
"That's right!"
"Then let me ask you, is this price set by the government?"
"It's natural!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaowan frowned. "The little girl can't afford so much silver. Can you give me a few days of grace?"
"That can't be done, miss, you two have been in debt for more than ten days!" The vendor said with a ferocious smile, "I am doing a small business, and the cost of three-brain tofu is not low!"
"Humph, miss, let's ignore him. This person knows how to blackmail us and will meet with officials as soon as he sees them!" Su Xiaowan's maid shouted angrily.
Liu Mo shook his head. The other party came clearly prepared. If he met the official, he would lose the case 100%!
"Xueyan, shut up!" Su Xiaowan scolded. "Boss, this little girl really can't afford so much silver. Can you see if you can..."
"Hehe, since the lady said so, this matter is easy!" The merchant stroked his beard, "As long as my shopkeeper agrees, it doesn't matter if I don't give you the money!"
"Your shopkeeper? May I ask your name?"
"Haha, you must know Miss Su!"
"Oh? Do you know the little girl?"
"Yes, it is Zhou Zhushan, Mr. Zhou!"
As soon as he said this, Liu Mo couldn't help but take a breath, "Good guy, it's this bird man again! What does he want to do?"
Su Xiaowan's face turned pale, "Is it him? What does Mr. Zhou want?"
"Hey, Miss Su, don't you know what Mr. Zhou wants?"
"No, I will never agree to it!" Su Xiaowan subconsciously took a few steps back.
She knew that the other party's intention was to let her leave Zhou Zhushan...
"In that case, don't blame me for being unkind!"
The merchant's face darkened, and he waved his hand, signaling his men to report to the Rongcheng County Yamen.
Su Xiaowan was frightened and anxious. As a brothel girl with a low status, no one around her was willing to help her even if she was being blackmailed so blatantly.
She didn't know whether it was out of instinct or something, but she raised her head and looked at Liu Mo.
Women always mean what they say, and seeing as how she helped me once...
Thinking of this, Liu Mo stepped forward and said loudly: "Wait!"
When the vendor saw someone taking the lead, his expression suddenly changed, "Who are you?"
"Where are you from? You look so unfamiliar, you don't look like a native of Rongcheng!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Haha, I'm lucky enough to know Mr. Wu, the tax department director of this county. If someone does business in Rongcheng but hasn't registered it with the official..."
Hearing this, the merchant panicked a little, so he said: "I have been in Rongcheng for a month, and I have registered with the official! Who are you?"
Good guy, this guy Zhou Zhushan is really vicious, he made a fool of himself to trick Su Xiaowan.
"Your shopkeeper is Zhou Zhushan, right?" Liu Mo smiled coldly and did not answer his question, "This Miss Su owes you money, and I will pay it for her."
The merchant looked at Liu Mo carefully and said, "Oh? This young master has a total of five thousand five hundred and seventy taels of silver!"
"I'm not deaf!" Liu Mosen said in a cold tone: "Zhao Da, bring me the banknote!"
Although Zhao Da didn't know the reason, he still presented the banknote out of admiration for Liu Mo.
Liu Mo took the banknote and handed it over, "My name is Liu Mo, the shopkeeper of 'Jingshui Pavilion'! Go back and ask your shopkeeper, if he dares, just take it!"
The vendor was shocked, "Are you Liu Mo?"
"Exactly!"
This name seemed to have a special power, which made the vendor tremble.
"What? Don't you dare again?" Liu Mo raised his voice.
Although he had just arrived in Rongcheng not long ago, the vendor had obviously heard of Liu Mo's name. He panicked and was so frightened by the voice that he took a few steps back.
However, at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Why don't you dare?"
Ha, Zhou Zhushan, you idiot is indeed here! Liu Mo secretly said.
