"Shopkeeper, my mother asked me to buy three dou of rice. My family can't eat it!"

"Little beggar, go away, can you buy rice too?"

"I'm not a beggar, I have money!"

Most of the people were short of money and could only buy some wheat or grains. However, Xue Yu came to the rice cabinet and looked nervous and scared, just like a fool who had first entered the city!

Seeing that Xue Yu was wearing a ragged clothes, the guy was about to drive him out. The former quickly explained and shook his right hand again. There was indeed a piece of silver inside!

"The visitor is a guest, how can you chase it out? You stupid guy, why don't you help the little customer to prepare the rice quickly!" The fat shopkeeper came out to smooth things over, pretended to scold the clerk, but secretly turned his eyes over.

Obviously, he regarded Xue Yu as a poor family, and still lived in a valley. He had never seen the world before. His family was so poor that he couldn't make it. He had to sell his property so that he could buy some rice to help his life!

The adults were so hungry that they had no strength or were sick that they had to send their stupid son to the city. Naturally, such a fat sheep could not be spared, and they had to slaughter them hard!

"I'm sorry, little guest, I'll pretend to be a rice for you!" The guy was also a smart person. He instantly understood the shopkeeper's hint. While smiling, he apologized to Xue Yu, signaling him to spread his pocket, and turned around and picked up a rice bowl, his eyes full of cunning!

It turns out that there are many rice bowls in Liu Ji Grain Store, which look exactly the same on the outside, but in fact there is something else!

Some rice bowls are made according to the mother bowl issued by the court, with the same size and thickness. If the government or rich people come to buy rice, they will use this qualified rice bowl to weigh it, which is guaranteed to be enough!

The other rice buckets look the same size, but the bottom and inner walls are secretly thickened. They are specially used to fool the poor. They look like a bucket of food, but in fact they are only seven or eight liters!

The poor people have no power and no evidence, and then they find out that they have suffered losses and cannot find a grain store to argue. They can only be in a secret breath.

As for mixing sand into rice, selling old rice as new rice, or selling brown rice as refined rice, it is a common method for merchants to use. This is called "no business, no business, no business!"

"Three dou of good rice is guaranteed to be enough to make sure it is enough to make it. A total of 600 coins of copper coins are 90 cents of silver and 6 cents of silver!"

"What, nine cents of silver, I have to be a mother, why is it so expensive?"

"You are optimistic. The price code is marked outside, and you can buy a small amount of rice for 200 yuan. You don't have to pay any credit!"

"But, I'm illiterate, I don't have enough money!"

After packing the rice, the guy signaled to pay the bill, but Xue Yu showed surprise, as if he didn't expect the rice price to be so high. He timidly stretched out his palm, with only one piece of silver worth more than three cents on it!

"I'm sorry, I'll return the rice to the store first. I'll go home to get the money. There's still a piece of silver at home. I'll come back to buy rice later!"

"The official customer hasn't brought enough money, so you can buy a little less rice first!"

"No, my mother said that I had to buy three dou of rice, and I had to buy three dou of rice, which is not a waste!"

Xue Yu poured the rice back, shook his pocket twice, signaling that it was all clean, and ran out of Liuji Grain Store quickly!

Because the grain prices have risen several times in a day, such things happen when customers don’t bring enough money, so the shopkeeper and the guy don’t care too much. At the same time, they secretly laughed at Xue Yu for being stupid and not knowing how to be flexible and flexible. They buy less food first and go home to help!

But it’s nothing. The fat sheep will come back anyway, so it’s not too late to slaughter this!

...

"Boss?"

"Don't ask anything, come with me quickly!"

Seeing Xue Yu coming out with an empty pocket, the friends rushed to meet him, their faces full of disappointment, and they were obviously still thinking about the white rice!

Xue Yu shook his head, pulled his friends away quickly, and turned several turns in a row before stopping until he reached an unmanned alley!

"Boss, the price of rice is too expensive, so you can buy less. If you don't buy it today, you may be afraid that the price will increase again tomorrow!"

"Haha, look at what this is!"

"Ah, Jingmi!"

Xue Yu smiled treacherously, opened the cloth pocket in his hand, and a layer of white brush inside, it turned out to be full of rice grains!

The friends were both surprised and happy, and they were even more confused. They clearly saw Xue Yu pouring the rice back, and shook it hard a few times. Why was there still rice in their pockets?

"Boss, how did you get the rice?"

"Haha, just use a little trick. Fight with me. Those profiteers don't even deserve to carry their shoes!"

It turned out that before Xue Yu entered the grain store, he secretly used well water to make the inside of his pocket wet, and then pretended to be stupid and went in to buy semen rice. He pretended that he didn't bring enough money, and poured the semen rice back!

The water is sticky. When the filling is poured, many grains of rice are stuck on the inner wall of the pocket and have not returned to their original place. Moreover, when Xue Yu poured the rice, he cleverly clamped the corners of the pocket with both hands, leaving two handfuls of rice behind!

The friends started to work together and scraped off the rice in their pockets, without letting them go. They put them in a black pot of pot of clay. It weighed nearly one pound, enough to make a pot of porridge!

"Boss, I have rice, let's go back soon!"

"Don't worry, I heard that the person named Liu is a profiteer, who specializes in harming the poor. Today, we have to go around the rice shops he runs, and we can get some more food back!"

"Okay, listen to the boss!"

In this way, Xue Yu used the same method to visit more than 20 Liuji rice shops in the city. In the afternoon, more than ten kilograms of white rice were added to his pocket, and then he happily went back!

The three-cent piece of silver still stayed well in Xue Yu's arms. It was really a waste of money!

…………

"It's so delicious. I haven't eaten rice in a long time!"

"You are better than me. I have never eaten rice at home since I can remember. I only ate brown rice once during the Chinese New Year, but it is mixed with sand!"

"It's still the boss who is capable. He didn't spend a penny, so he got so much rice back. He saved enough to eat for seven or eight days!"

In the ruined temple, mice, barbarian bulls, tiger heads, rabbits and others surrounded the pot, and there was fragrant thick rice porridge inside. Everyone added firewood and rubbed their saliva, and their faces were almost bursting with laughter.

My friends wanted to eat rice, but Xue Yu refused. They cooked such a pot of thick rice porridge, which saved food!

First of all, this little grain is hard-earned and will have a long life in the future. You must know how to flow slowly. As for how to use a wet cloth bag to cheat food, you cannot use it frequently, otherwise it will be exposed sooner or later!

Second, my friends have been hungry for too long and their stomachs are very weak. They can’t stand eating rice and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. It’s safer to drink porridge, which can moisten the stomach and intestines!

Soon, the fragrant rice porridge was cooked. Although everyone was already hungry, they were not in a hurry to have a meal because Dahei and Erhan brothers had not come back yet.

In the past few years, twelve friends have depended on each other and lived and ate together. As long as one of them did not come back, the others would never move the dishes. This has become a habit!

"Boss, Boss, Woo-woo!"

"Why did you make it like this?"

"Erhan was bitten by the watchdog of Liu Datou's family, and the damn Wei Liuzhi!"

...

At dusk, Dahei and Erhan's brothers came back, one of them carrying the other, making him feel embarrassed. Erhan's left calf was injured, and a large piece of flesh was lost, and he was bleeding, causing him to sweat coldly!

Liu Datou is the owner of Liu Ji Grain Store. He is a famous wealthy family in Hejian Prefecture. His family has a lot of fertile land and a group of mules and horses. He occupies half of the city's grain business. He also secretly runs brothels, casinos, and puts money in the seals. I don't know how much profit it makes every year!

Such a rich man is a miser. He is reluctant to eat or wear it. He tied all his money to his ribs and could not bear to pay a single child, let alone help others!

He was cruel by nature. He was forced to death by him and had countless debtors. Wei Liuzhi was his slave, who was responsible for watching the door. The slave followed the master's nature and was also a stingy and cruel guy. He enjoyed bullying the poor all day long and was still a bad gambling man!

This afternoon, Dahei and Erhan were wandering around the city for a long time. They only got half of the leftover cake and wanted to bring it back to share it with their friends. When they came back, they passed by Liu Datou's house. They knew that this old guy was extremely stingy and didn't think about coming to beg for him!

It happened that Liu Datou went out and cursed the two brothers, not allowing them to pass by their own door, so as not to bring bad luck!

In order to please his master, Wei Liuzhi immediately let the dog chase and bite the two brothers. Erhan ran a little slower and took a bite into his calf. The cake that he finally asked for was also taken away by the dog!

"Manniu, tiger head, hurry up and bring a bucket of clear water!"

"Hongxiu, Jinya, you go and collect some purslane and dandelions!"

Xue Yu walks outdoors all year round, has some knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine, has rich knowledge of rescue, and knows how to deal with being bitten by a dog!

Let Erhan lie on the haystack, rinse the wound repeatedly with clean water to avoid getting infected with rabies. Then, mash purslane and dandelions into a paste and apply them carefully to the wound. These two plants have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and can prevent wound inflammation!

During the treatment period, Erhan was in pain and sweating, but he didn't say a word. As a little beggar, being bullied, beating, scolded, or even bitten by a dog are common. Crying cannot solve any problem, and tears can only flow into his stomach!

"Okay, everyone, have a meal, be careful when going out in the future. There are many refugees in the city recently and the situation is chaotic. Pay attention to safety!"

"Yes, boss!"

After dinner, Xue Yu used a story about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to coax his friends to sleep. He still closed his eyes and pondered. Liu Datou and Wei Liuzhi two bad guys actually let the dog bite Erhan. He must avenge this revenge, otherwise he would be ashamed of the little stone in the sky!
