Song Che was responsible for greeting everyone.
Jiang Yun is responsible for cutting the meat.
Liao Heng is responsible for collecting money.
When she is too busy, Yun Niang also comes to help. Her knife skills are really good, and the customer will never get more than one pound per pound.
Just when business is booming——
"Let it go, let it go! Who asked you to set up a stall on the street!"
Seven or eight gangster-looking men rushed into the crowd, pushing and beating everyone they met, and even scolding them after beating them.
The leader of the gangster had the right half of his face swollen. If you didn't identify him carefully, you wouldn't know he was Wang Er who was slapped in the face at the Huaxi Tavern yesterday.
Wang Er is quite prestigious in the county." The people stared at him and were too angry to say anything.
Song Che helped the people on the ground and said coldly: "If you want to charge stall fees, I will give you some silver. Why bother to push people?"
Wang Er stroked his swollen cheek, and inhaled in pain, hissing, and hating Song Che and the others: "Today's matter cannot be finished both publicly and privately! I must have this money! This stall, too It must be confiscated!”
"Oh?" Song Che sneered: "As for you, where is the public and where is the private?"
Wang Er said loudly: "I'm sorry, you are strangers of unknown origin, but people from outside the county are setting up stalls in this county. This is called illegal profit, and all income and property should be confiscated; as for private matters?"
He pointed at the bruises on his face and glared at Jiang Yun: "You must have forgotten what you did to me at the Huaxi Tavern yesterday, right! Yesterday, I was unprepared and was attacked by you. Today, I will definitely Return it tenfold——"
"Snapped!"
But before he could finish his words, Jiang Yun stepped forward and slapped him again with his forehand, sending him flying again. The gangsters who were traveling with him were stunned in shock.
Jiang Yun wiped his hands with a cloth, and glanced at the gangsters with a murderous look, "Within three calls, take this pickled bastard away, otherwise I will twist off your heads and kick them like a ball... one!"
"two!"
"This hero can even kill a tiger, let alone you. Get out of here!"
"Yes, these three are clearly heroes who are doing harm to the people, but you have turned them upside down and turned them into unknown origins. Why are you so shameless?"
The people denounced it one after another.
The gangster became the target of public criticism, and was intimidated by Jiang Yun's evil spirit. He could only lift Wang Er, who was unconscious and had broken teeth all over the ground, and ran away in despair.
After punishing the bullies in the market and earning a wave of praise, in just half an hour, nearly 900 kilograms of tiger meat were sold out.
The large pieces of broken silver amounted to more than a thousand taels, not counting the value of the tiger whip and tiger skin.
Yun Niang also sold out all her wine, earning a profit of seventeen or eighty taels, more than twice as much as originally expected.
"Today, the name of 'Tiger Wine' has been announced. It's time for the proprietress to take advantage of the victory and set up a signboard for it. The customer flow in Huaxi Tavern will definitely bring this wine to a higher level."
Song Che teaches another fisherman.
Yun Niang's eyes looked at Song Che, and there was obviously a subtle change, "I really don't know how to thank you today, how about... I treat you to lunch?"
Song Che smiled and said: "If it weren't for the big meal given by the landlady yesterday, we wouldn't be able to kill these two tigers. We have gained a lot from selling meat today, so we should treat you."
Liao Heng also said: "We are new to this city. We are not familiar with the place, so we have to be led by the proprietress. It must be the most upscale restaurant, and we have to have a big meal before going to school."
Yun Niang was reserved for a moment, but she had no choice but to give up her kindness and give the monthly payment to the waiter to repay, while she stayed to help clean up the stall.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, several gongs were heard outside the street, attracting the attention of people all over the street.
I saw a government official on horseback, and while beating the gong, he announced: "Fellow folks of Shima County, please go to Dongshi quickly. The county magistrate has something important to announce to the whole city!"
"What's going on?" some people asked.
But the yamen officer replied: "Don't worry about anything, you will find out when you go there. In short, it is for the benefit of the people of the county. I hope I can tell you!"
Yun Niang stood on tiptoes, stretched her pink neck, and looked over.
"What? The boss lady also wants to join in the fun?" Song Che said with a smile.
Yun Niang said: "Since the government has issued an order, there must be something important to announce. Although I am not from the city, my household registration is in Shima County."
If he is not an upright official, how can he do good things?
"Anyway, nothing happens, let's go and see the excitement."
Several people followed the people and rushed to Dongsheng
Dongsheng
An old man of half a century in green official uniform, and four or five wealthy gentry, stood in the center of the square at the same time. There is also a large money box in front of the venue, with a boy and a girl guarding the left and right sides of the money box. The boy is holding a sword, and the girl is holding a float. They are all dressed as Taoist priests.
No less than a thousand people had gathered in Dongshi, all curious about what was going to be announced.
The Grand Master of Shima County called him Lu Shanguang. When he saw that the people were arriving at about the same time, he made a gesture to Master Huang who was waiting at the side.
The master cleared his throat, stepped forward and shouted:
"Fellow folks, please be quiet. There is an important announcement from the Shima County Government today. This is related to your life and safety. Please listen carefully."
The Shimalin mass grave is haunted, causing panic throughout the county. In order to quell this problem, our county magistrate went to the Taoist Temple in Taicang Mountain and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times before inviting Zhang Xianshi to come down the mountain!
The Immortal Master has already divined that the mass graves are full of people who died violently, and the resentment has accumulated, which will be difficult to eradicate for a while. The only option is to spend a lot of money to rebuild a golden body temple of the 'Zhenwu Emperor', and then use the power of the Immortal Master to It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one days to eliminate the demonic obstacles;
But to build such a temple, at least three thousand taels of silver are needed. Our Shima County is a place where the government's finances cannot support it. Therefore, today we have summoned the people of the town to come here to raise donations and do their best to slay the demons. ! "
There was a lot of discussion among the people, whether they wanted to donate or not.
"Zhang Yuanwai donated one thousand taels of silver!"
"Boss Li donated five hundred taels of silver!"
"Boss Huang donated five hundred taels of silver!"
The wealthy gentry each called their servants, carrying trays of white silver, and threw them into the cash box in front of the crowd.
Master Huang struck while the iron was hot and said loudly: "Most of the wealthy gentry in the county have helped us out. Dear fellow villagers, a few pennies is not too little, and dozens of taels is not too much. Why don't you buy peace for yourself?"
The common people are not helpless, but when the strong wind hits, they can only fall to one side. The rich people in the county have donated, so they have no reason not to dig into their pockets.
"If you are willing to contribute to our county, please line up on the left and donate to the cash box in turn -"
"Wait!"
Liao Heng stopped loudly.
Song Che wanted to pull him back, but it was too late.
What this stupid young man hates most is pretending to be a god and fooling the people. How could he endure it?
Liao Heng squeezed out the crowd, stopped in front of the cash box, and said to the people: "We passed by the mass grave last night and stayed in the mountain temple for a night. We didn't encounter any monsters at all, but - —”
"Hey hey hey!"
Song Che quickly called out to Liao Heng.
First, they pretend to be gods and ghosts, and then donate money to cure the ghosts. When enough money is raised, the wealthy gentry will pay back all the money, use a part to build the temple, and divide the rest among a few people. This is obviously a routine to steal the wealth and support of the people.
If this truth were revealed to the public, wouldn't it mean that the wealth of these men on stage would be cut off?
Destroying people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents. When they first arrived in Shima County, even a dragon crossing the river could not overpower a local snake.
