Chapter 11 Eat my food and spit it out
After a supper, a pig's head, ten pounds of pork belly and several pounds of pig's blood were eaten up. There was no left of the porridge and steamed pancakes made from five dou of millet.
It takes only about a quarter of an hour to eat everything.
The last drop of soup in the basin on the table was dipped in a child with the cake.
Dr. Zhao sat there, patting his bloated belly, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't know what kind of demon I was possessed just now, I ate hard, I didn't remember anything, and I didn't know how much I ate. Oh my God, it's no different from being reincarnated from a starving ghost. I'm embarrassed to live for half my life."
Yang next to him stroked his belly with big eyes, "Brother, it's not embarrassing. This meal was lively and full of food. I, Lao Yang, are the same."
"Hahaha."
Guo Biao was a edible person and had a big belly. At this time, he felt so full. "I'd blame it. I blame Sanlang for the delicious food, especially this pork head. I thought I used to kill pigs and ate quite a lot of pig heads, but I never thought that pig heads could be so delicious. If I had already had this skill, how could it be so hard to kill pigs and sell meat? I just opened a cooked food shop for pig heads. I bought pig heads and made them by myself every day, so I could just lie down and make money."
Some people also say that the pig blood tofu made by Li Xiao is also delicious.
Everyone was full and overeating, but they were all very satisfied.
These days, it is really rare to be able to eat a meal after letting go. And it is not just about eating porridge and eating fullness, but about eating meat and yellow noodles and pancakes. This is a rare thing for many merchants in their lives.
Everyone had enough food and drink, and they all felt that Li Sanlang was so good. They lamented that Li Sanlang was back and that life might be really better in the future. Follow Li Sanlang and don’t have to worry about it in the future.
"Everyone will leave after eating, so as to relieve the food and stop causing abdominal pain." Dr. Zhao reminded everyone, then turned to Li Xiao and said, "Sanlang, accompany me for a walk outside."
Li Xiao knew that he must have something to say to him, so he nodded with a smile.
The men were still praising the rare food in the house, while Li Xiaoze helped Dr. Zhao out.
I just had a full meal and felt hot all over, and I was not afraid of the cold wind outside the house.
"Sanlang seems to have lived a lot of life in the past few years." Dr. Zhao said.
Li Xiao immediately replied, "After leaving Lanxi, he went directly to Shangluo, and after leaving Wuguan, he went to Shannan and then to Jiangling. In the following years, he went south along the Yangtze River and traveled along the way, walked a lot, went to many places, and also experienced a lot."
This can be regarded as simply explaining to Dr. Zhao about his experience in the past five years.
There is no fabrication. In fact, Li Xiao has indeed been through this in the past five years. When he left home, he also prepared a lot of money for his son, all of which were gold and silver. Therefore, he has not been short of money in recent years and has no worries about food and drink. He has gone out for five years and has been a real travel.
It’s just that because his father asked him not to go home for the time being, and later he wanted to make a name for himself before going home, he never went back.
As for the years after his parents died, his family was not aware of the major changes. It was also because of the extremely inconvenient transportation information in this era. Li Xiao was traveling abroad and the location was uncertain, so the Li family could not contact him at all.
"It's been a few years, why haven't you sent a letter to your house?" Lao Zhao asked accusingly. If Li Xiao had sent a letter back, the Li family wouldn't have mistakenly thought he was dead because of the jade pendant.
Li Xiao smiled bitterly.
In fact, there is also a hidden story here. More than a year after Li Xiao left the customs, he did meet robbers in Jingzhou. He almost died after meeting the bandits that time.
Although he was not dead, he was captured. However, the thiefs saw that Li Xiaochang was tall and had some martial arts skills, and could ride a horse, shoot archery and a sword, so they wanted to keep him in the group.
Although Li Xiao refused, he was also left on the mountain for a while and was robbed several times. Later, the thieves were wiped out by the official army and Li Xiao fled during the chaos, but he did not dare to contact his family anymore, for fear that his experience would be known to the government and would be implicated in the Li family.
Who would have thought that by chance, a jade pendant would lead to so many things?
"I should have come back early."
Li Xiaodao.
"Yes, it was completely different when I came back a few years ago. Now the Li family has nothing left. Only this little ancestral tomb is left, but I still owe Zhang Papi family a large debt."
"Uncle Zhao, tell me in detail about the situation at home, how our family was deceived by the Zhang family in recent years, and how much money our family still owe to the Zhang family?"
Doctor Zhao sighed. When talking about this, his heart was heavy, and it was like a mountain pressing on him. Before Li Xiao came back, he felt that he had no hope of breaking free at all. He had already planned to escape with Li Xiao and Zhao Wan. Now that Li Xiao is back, he sees another glimmer of hope.
In every detail, Lao Zhao told me in detail how the Zhang family has tricked and plotted against the Li family step by step over the years.
"I still owe the Zhang family 800 guan?" Li Xiao was very calm after hearing this.
The Zhang family was calculating the Li family in every way and used up all kinds of means, especially after Li Dashan passed away, he pressed them step by step.
But he had expected these things long ago.
"Yes, all the Li family's industries have been cheated. Your family's thousand acres of fertile land, five shops on Lanxi Street, and a pharmacy in Lantian County are all gone. Now I still owe the Zhang family 800 guan, 800 guan."
Eight hundred stagnants of money are a lot, but the almost land these days is only a few hundred stagnants.
In the past, the Li family was considered the richest man in Lanxi, but their property was only about a thousand acres of land, plus a few shops.
"Those shops are the ancestral businesses of your Li family for generations, especially the pharmacies in the county and the pharmacies in Lanxi Street. They are a good deal to make money by accumulating wealth. It is said that one pharmacies will be sold without changing a thousand acres of fertile land, and now they are all from the Zhang family."
The Li family was calculated by the Zhang family's property, and it was estimated that it would cost several thousand guan, not the eight hundred guan that they owe now.
An industry worth thousands of chunks of chunks of money is indeed a huge sum of money in a village.
Eight hundred chariots of debt, those who can suppress despair.
"Zhang Papi's family's debt is a high-interest debt, and the profit is booming."
The 800-ton bond was actually less than 100 coins two years ago, and it had already reached the 800-ton bond in more than two years.
If you roll like this, you will only roll higher and higher. The Li family can't afford it at all. The final result will naturally be that even the ancestral tombs will become the Zhang family, and even Li Zhen and Zhao Wan will become Zhang Chao's concubine.
"It's just eight hundred stakes, don't worry, I can solve it."
"Eight hundred guan!" Mr. Zhao was amazed at Li Xiao's words. Although Li Xiao came back this time, he looked very capable and could still sell cucumbers in the middle of winter, but he only earned two guan at one time, and he had not yet withdrawn his capital.
Besides, how can such a business be done all the time?
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, the Zhang family took our Li family's belongs, and I will ask them to return them all. After eating our belongs, they will vomit them all."
"You can't fight with them, they have people in both black and white."
