Chapter 298 Boss Liang's Birthday Present

The boss couldn't help being a little surprised, and he couldn't help but take Zhu Chongba a little seriously.The boss rubbed his eyes, opened the shop door and said: "Yes

,come in. After speaking, the two of them got into the pork shop. Zhu Chongba carefully pulled out the bacon and said, "This is the boss, how much do you think?" The boss picked up the bacon, weighed it casually, then weighed it properly with a scale and said: "Eighteen cents, because you stole it, and this string is at most half a catty." "Zhu Chongba stared at the boss with some guilt, and said: "It's not fair, you can sell a catty of pork for nine cents..." After speaking, under the watchful eyes of the boss, Zhu Chongba's voice became smaller and smaller, Until it disappeared. The boss raised the corner of his mouth and said, "If I report to the police, you won't get a dime. "Zhu Chongba had the courage to say for himself once in a while: "If you report to the official, I will say that you are going to steal~!" "The boss really didn't guess the ending, and couldn't help but annoyed: "At most 23 coins, do you want to love it, hum~! Zhu Chongba hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Then you pay the money immediately." "After speaking, Zhu Chongba stared at the iron box at the boss's hand, on which were stacked pieces of coins and some paper money for change

.Zhu Chongba wiped the bacon with the lard cloth from the boss's house, and said with a flattering look: "Okay, can I order the leftover fat pork you sold for free? Half a tael is fine..." The boss didn't care, nodded and said : "Yes, but if you want the pile of the ones that are ready to go moldy, you can take it anywhere." After speaking, he pointed to the bucket of spoiled fat pork outside the door and said: "Yes, it is there." Zhu Chongba did not dare to be greedy. many

, Take a few pieces symbolically and leave.Watching the boss bow his head and count the money

Zhu Chongba, taking advantage of the boss's inattention, walked away with a few taels of lean meat

, as compensation for their own losses.The boss directly slapped the money on the table, and handed it to Zhu Chongba, saying: "This is 23 Wen, you can count it yourself, don't say that I have cheated on you." Zhu Chongba looked at the pile of old money in front of him, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart : "You are so stingy, all you give is old money, prepare for the New Year, just treat me as a child, give me some new money~!" Zhu Chongba's suggestion obviously hit the boss's heart, the boss With a soft heart, he said, "Okay

, don't let my mother-in-law see you when you go out... go through the back door, she should be awake by now. "Zhu Chongba reluctantly left from the back door. Before leaving, Zhu Chongba didn't forget to take some meat that was thrown on the ground. The boss touched his forehead and said: "It seems that the pork business is not doing well recently. Or change careers as soon as possible ~!Maybe you can go to the Red Scarf Army to try your luck. "

Zhu Chongba took a handful of money for selling meat, took out a piece of cloth to surround the money, and then tiptoed to a shop selling grain.Zhu Chongba knew the owner of the grain shop, and he came here because he was relieved.Zhu Chongba sneaked into the grain store when the sky was slightly bright, and the guy who opened the door was still dozing off.And some old bosses are counting the grain on the account.Zhu Zhongba quickly ran to the boss and said: "Boss, I know you are a good person, can you sell me some grain at the bottom of the warehouse at a low price of one penny?" Fat, with a smile on his face, he said, "Little Ba, I do have this kind of food. How much are you going to ask for today?" Zhu Chongba said, "I want ten Wen, and if I want more, I can't move it." The boss nodded, took Zhu Chongba into the warehouse and said, "Okay, you can go in with me to get the goods. I will weigh it to you later, and you can count the money for me." Seeing that the boss was so easy to say, Zhu Chongba He couldn't help being grateful and said: "Thank you, and may God bless you with a bright future~!" The boss smiled and said: "It's not enough to eat and drink enough these days

, and where does the future come from? "Zhu Chongba shook his head and said: "The most important thing to be a man is to have aspirations. Didn't you teach me this?" The boss sighed and said, "That's right."But the world will be in chaos, wars will break out everywhere, grain merchants like us are doomed to have no place to live..." Zhu Chongba couldn't help sighing: "Then people like me are doomed to die? The boss smiled and comforted: "That's not necessarily true, maybe you are a general?"You are still young and have plenty of time and opportunities.I can't, I can't straighten my waist recently, and I don't have much money. I'm the one who has no future~! "After the boss finished speaking, he picked up a bag of rice, weighed it, and then Zhu Zhongba counted and handed it to the boss: "Hey, take the grain money you paid for. The boss seemed to think of something and said: "Here is a letter of introduction, which was given to me by the leader of the Red Scarf Army of the White Lotus Sect."If you can't get along here one day, take this letter to Tan Zilang.He will arrange a good position for you. "After speaking, the boss took out a letter

Give it to Zhu Chongba.Zhu Chongba took the letter tremblingly, bowed gratefully to the boss and said: "Thank you for your great kindness, Zhu Chongba will never forget it." The boss nodded and said: "Remember, don't Serving wine and meat in front of the Red Scarf Army...although they obviously do not prohibit it." Zhu Chongba didn't take it seriously, but he remembered

.The boss casually mentioned and handed Zhu Chongba the rice that Zhu Chongba wanted.Carrying the rice, Zhu Chongba was so happy that he hurried away while no one was paying attention to him on the street.

Zhu Chong walked back home with difficulty in one step and two steps.Give the rice to the mother to cook the porridge.Zhu Chongba ate the rough rice porridge, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Only at this moment did he feel a little warmth in the winter.At this moment, the door of the house was knocked viciously, and Zhu Chongba felt remorse for the first time.But fortunately, the yamen servant who came in was not looking for him, but just asked the family if he had seen the person in the painting as a routine.Zhu Chongba staggered

, almost didn't fall a dog to eat shit.The mother next to her opened the door, and the yamen servant glanced at the situation at home.The mother negotiated with them for a few words, and then suddenly asked a question: "Why does your family have so much food? If I remember correctly, didn't someone in your family get sick just now? And looking at that kind of character, you are ready to eat it." Dead...Could it be that you, an old lady, still have a charm and found another lover?" Now Zhu Chongba wished he could kill the yamen servant in front of him, but that could only be a fantasy.The mother faltered and couldn't speak, but Zhu Chongba kept his eyes cold and didn't gnaw.Seeing that his strategy was ineffective, the yamen servant refused to let it go.Seeing that the yamen servant was about to call someone, Zhu Chongba had no choice but to grab the yamen servant's sleeve, and secretly stuffed three Wen into the yamen servant. .Before leaving, Zhu Chongba glanced at the portrait in the yamen servant's hand, and found that it was somewhat similar to the owner of the grain store he had just met!Zhu Chongba was taken aback, then couldn't help recalling what the boss of the grain store said today, and thinking about it again, the more Zhu Chongba thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong... The tone of the boss' speech today was the same as explaining the funeral, as if he was not joking!In the end, Zhu Chongba decided to wait a while, and when he went out to cut firewood, he reminded the boss that such a kind person should not just be caught by these people to make up the money...

Zhu Chongba calculated the time, and it was about the time for a cup of tea

.Zhu Chongba took the guy who went up the mountain to cut firewood, and went up the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back.Zhu Chongba cautiously turned some major roads, and specially chose small roads where no one was around.After a while, Zhu Chongba faintly saw the boss's grain store.At this time, because a yamen servant happened to pass by, Zhu Chongba first squatted and quietly walked through the back door.Having prepared his speech, Zhu Zhongba said with a loud voice: "Boss Liang

, I have something to look for you. Boss Liang opened the door and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, do you have any good things to exchange for food?" "Zhu Chongba shook his head and said: "Boss Liang, have you just met the yamen servant?" Boss Liang said strangely: "I have seen it but I don't have time. They have already left first. What's the matter?"Any questions? "Zhu Chongba couldn't help staring at Boss Liang seriously and said: "Boss Liang, first of all, I need to confirm whether you are from the Red Turban Army or not?" Boss Liang shook his head and said, "Simply speaking, I have nothing to do with the Red Scarf Army."It's just my nephew doing business with them.Did you see the arrest warrant and thought it was me? "Zhu Chongba couldn't help being red-faced when he was told that he had broken his mind, but Zhu Chongba said firmly: "I'm afraid they won't be able to catch anyone, so I'll use you to make up for it~! "Zhu Chongba's worry is not unreasonable. But Mr. Liang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Da Yuan is in danger now.If they hadn't relied on the powerful Han landlords, they would have died long ago~! "Zhu Chongba couldn't help but have some doubts and said: "Then why are the Dayuan landlords on our side still so arrogant? Boss Liang said helplessly, "Don't you know?"Yesterday, the head of the Dayuan landlord family was killed by the Red Scarf Army, and even the second family near him had annexed their family's property.Now their home is just an empty shell. Zhu Chongba couldn't help being speechless: "Then I don't have to worry about being arrested?" "Boss Liang smiled and said: "More than that, according to the latest news, the newly appointed county magistrate also announced to reduce taxes, and then plans to find a time to go out independently. Zhu Chongba was shocked and said: "Shouldn't Dayuan prepare troops to deal with this disobedient county?" Boss Liang couldn't help but said helplessly: "Silly boy, what you said just now was in private, so just don't take it seriously." "Zhu Chongba secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew how such a thing was possible... This matter is just what their upper-level figures are talking about. Although the current situation is a bit clear, it is still the general trend for the Great Yuan to rule the world

.How dare such a small county like ours do this? Boss Liang glanced at Zhu Chongba intentionally or unintentionally and said: "It seems that although you don't read much, you still have a clearer understanding of major events in this world~!"Although the current White Lotus Sect is a bit climate-friendly, it is undoubtedly worse for this decadent dynasty.This can be regarded as their final destination, and so is the fate of the dynasty. "Boss Liang hesitated for a while, and finally decided to lend this book to Zhu Chongba to have a look and said: "You can take it and have a look, it is my birthday present to you. "
