Two taels of silver is already considered a very high salary, and an ordinary cook only earns one tael of silver a month.
The waiter only earns a few hundred pennies a month.
But it is not enough for Chang Qingyun.
Twenty taels of silver a month, it would take more than two years of saving without eating or drinking to save fifty taels of silver.
Chang Qingyun motioned to the shopkeeper to try it too: "Let's eat some together and taste my craftsmanship."
The shopkeeper ate another piece after eating it.
Not bad indeed.
"Shop, let's make a deal, how about I sell this recipe?"
"How much do you want?"
"Fifty taels."
The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's too expensive."
"What if I add another mutton soup?"
The shopkeeper's heartbeat.
I was just about to ask for another recipe to haggle over.
A voice came in: "It's too expensive, we can't afford it, please look elsewhere."
A mean-looking man walked in.
The shopkeeper stood up and saluted: "Mr. Qin, you are back."
Qin Shou put his hands behind his back and looked at Chang Qingyun with a smile: "It's a good idea to leave."
Chang Qingyun left with his rabbit.
The shopkeeper's pity: "Qin Guan, his cooking is really good. If you buy the recipe, it might become our signature dish..."
"Haha, if you offend Mr. Mei, this restaurant will not be opened until then."
Qin Shou stared at Chang Qingyun's back, looking at him as if he were looking at a dead person.
He sat down and ate a piece of rabbit meat. It was indeed delicious. He frowned and said, "Let the people in the kitchen have a taste. If you can't imitate it, let them pack up and get out!"
Chang Qingyun went to several restaurants and no one accepted his recipe. He understood that Mei Liangxin must have told him.
Unreasonable and expected.
The road is blocked.
I knew that Mei Liangxin would not be the kind of person who would be honest after a beating.
Chang Qingyun reluctantly sold the remaining 29 hares, earning 580 yuan.
How should I get money later?
There was a cry in the distance.
A few big men carried a door panel with a tattered mat wrapped around it. Blood dripped down as they walked.
A woman followed behind, holding a child in her hand, crying all the way.
"Oh my god, how can we live like this? Official, why did you just go like this? How can we survive if you are the orphan and widower of us?"
"Master Qingtian! My officials died so miserably!"
The woman was crying so heartbroken that the smaller child next to her held her up and kept her from falling to the ground.
Passers-by quickly moved out of the way to let the group of people pass.
Chang Qingyun followed.
The people around him were also pointing and talking.
"Ah, another one died. That tiger was really powerful."
"There are always people who think they can kill the tiger and get the reward from the government. Don't you know that the tiger is so ferocious that ordinary people can't kill it. Alas, another life has been lost in vain."
"It's so miserable. You don't know. I took a look before putting up the mats. Almost half of the people had eaten. It's miserable. It's really miserable."
"Isn't this from the Wu family on Xiashui Street?! Why do I remember that the men in her family are very powerful. They even served as soldiers before. I didn't expect that such a powerful man would die. That tiger is really amazing."
"Of course the tiger is powerful. Didn't the county magistrate also organize people to round him up? Two government officials were killed. There are so many people and they can't even fight with swords. It's even more impossible for them to fight alone."
"Oh, this Wu Dalang's mother is sick and can't get up from bed, so he wants to try his best to earn some money to treat his mother's illness. Who would have thought of getting involved himself? Now he's better. Orphans and widowers Damn it, how do you live with a sick old mother?"
"After all, he died fighting a tiger. The government must show some kind of expression, otherwise his family will really be forced to die."
"What kind of expression do you want? The notice said that you are responsible for your own life and death. It's not like the government forces you to go. It's just you risking your life. The government will not take this responsibility. Otherwise, everyone will do this thing. Everyone will come if they die." If you want subsidies, what do you want the county magistrate to do?"
Chang Qingyun mingled among the crowd, and listening to everyone's discussion, he learned that there was a place called Jingyanggang on a road into their county, and a tiger came there.
Jingyanggang is the only way to enter Hanyang County from the neighboring county.
Taking a detour would add a day and a half to the journey.
After this tiger came to Hanyang County, it brought a lot of inconvenience to the entire Hanyang County.
The merchants who came and went disappeared immediately.
The county magistrate also had a terrible headache, but this tiger was so powerful that no one could bring it down, so he offered a huge reward. Anyone who could kill the tiger would be rewarded fifty taels of silver!
Chang Qingyun had a plan in mind.
They carried the remaining bones and made a fuss in front of the government office. The noise was so loud that soon some government officials came out and drove the group of people away.
"Have you seen the notice that says life and death are at your own risk? If you kill a tiger, you are a hero. If you can't kill a tiger and it is eaten, it can only be your life! Don't make trouble here. If you make trouble here again, I will put you all in jail. go."
In the end, of course, it was settled, and those people carried the bones back.
Chang Qingyun took a look and saw that the woman and the child were crying so much that they almost fainted. They really didn't know how to live after the head of the family disappeared like this.
Poor!
He turned around and went to find an inconspicuous blacksmith shop.
Naturally, you need a handy weapon to fight a tiger.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man who is shirtlessly forging iron.
There were no weapons in the store. Most of them were daily necessities for ordinary people. Chang Qingyun was a little disappointed.
Chang Qingyun saw a crossbow hanging on the wall, picked it up and pulled it. In the cold weapon era, bows and arrows were very good.
But when hunting tigers, bows and arrows are a bit slow. It would be nice to have a crossbow.
Chang Qingyun shook his head and put the bow and arrow back.
"The little official has good arm strength, he can actually draw my bow."
Blacksmith Li Tieniu put down his work and came over: "Little official, what do you want to buy?"
Chang Qingyun went to buy pen and paper and came back, and drew a bunch of parts in front of Li Tieniu: "Can you help me make these?"
The thing looks small, not a big item.
Li Tieniu had never fought such a strange thing before, and he was curious: "What does this combination mean? A weapon?"
Chang Qingyun said nothing: "Can I fight?"
"Can."
"How much?"
"As long as you show me the finished product later, I won't charge you any money!"
The two men competed silently.
"I'll just take a look!"
"Okay, deal."
Chang Qingyun finally compromised, he needed this weapon.
Li Tieniu was looking at the drawings: "You come and get them at this time tomorrow."
After Chang Qingyun left, Li Tieniu stared at Chang Qingyun's back for a long time.
This person is definitely not simple.
There is a unique military temperament in it, and there is that sense of justice.
I have been a soldier for more than ten years and I still don't have this young man's temperament.
It seems that Hanyang County is still crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
