Watching the mule cart go away, Jian'er quickly ran back to the yard, but saw Li Qingzheng holding a large jar of nitro powder with difficulty. The nitro powder weighed only a dozen kilograms, but the high-waisted munition weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms, blocking his sight. Jian'er quickly grabbed it to help. The nitro powder was leaning on when they were broken, and nothing was left. The two moved the munition into the yard and then put it down.

Li Qing gasped and asked, "Did you give him a gift?"

"Give it!" Yan'er poked his forehead and pointed: "Don't be so proud of your face in the future. If you give it, you will give it to others and let others misunderstand you, which will make me explain for a long time."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Just thank you, I'm not afraid of others' misunderstandings." He walked to the door, carried the wooden model, and strode into the house.

Yan'er looked at his back and smiled silently.

"Sister Lian'er, will we live here in the future?" Xiaoyu walked over with two large packages and interrupted Liang'er's thoughts. She looked around in the yard curiously. Although it was only two days, she had already integrated into Li Qing's team. Liang'er also knew that she had served Li Qing, but she didn't care. She just thought that she was her sister. Liang'er was lonely since childhood, wandering with her grandfather, surviving everywhere. She felt deeply about living under someone else's roof. She felt more affection for Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu felt this love carefully, just like pear blossoms, rain and dew, sweet and moistening her heart. She reciprocates her love, and naturally she also looked at Liang'er as her sister.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, do you like it here?" Yan'er wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, and then looked at their new home again. This is an independent courtyard with three large rooms on the front, a living room on the middle, a room on both sides, a wing room on both sides, a kitchen on the east side, a warehouse on the west side, a well on the corner of the courtyard, a well covered with moss, and a osmanthus tree planted beside the well. It is not yet blooming, but it is rich in green and the branches and leaves are extremely lush. In the middle of the courtyard is a very tall hibiscus tree with flowers in full bloom. The roof and the courtyard are covered with falling hibiscus flowers, brown and yellow, pink and white petals covering the ground.

"I like this hibiscus tree the most, where is Sister Liang'er?" Xiaoyu picked up a newly falling hibiscus flower, stared at the tender stamens lovingly, and then gently placed it on the roots of the tree.

But Yan'er picked up a broom and swept the fallen flowers in the yard into a pile. He looked at Xiaoyu, who had a childlike heart and smiled and said, "So too. If I were to see this tree earlier, even if it really made a fuss about that thing, I would be willing."

"If you really like it, we will buy this house when we make money. But now is not the time to see flowers. Come and clean the room quickly. There is so much dust, at least we will have to be busy for a day. The landlord said that the bucket in the well was broken, so I will buy it now. There is also room arrangement, so the curtain is responsible for it."

When Li Qing stood at the gate of the yard, he kept clamoring, the two girls looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads and sighed.

Li Qing took advantage of the time of buying a bucket and stepped on the surrounding environment. It was only two blocks away from the most prosperous Fuqian Street in Langzhou, and it was backed by a small river. It has convenient transportation, but it is also in a secluded place without the hustle and bustle of the city. This made Li Qing very satisfied.

The next day, Li Qing and the other two pushed the cart on the road, and set up an ice water stall at the entrance of Fuqian Street, hanging Xiao Li Ji's sign. He knew that he lacked charm, so he asked Jian'er and Xiaoyu to act as trunks, and started to pick up the goods back and forth. Langzhou is far more lively than Yilong, with people coming and going on the streets, and the weather was extremely stuffy. I saw an ice water stall on the side of the road. The vendors, merchants, drivers of the car, and waiters who delivered goods all took out their bags to find a cool and cool thing, especially popsicles, which was never seen before. They were sweet and delicious in their mouths, and the heat strokes of their chests were greatly reduced.

Since ancient times, people have been following the crowd. Whenever someone rushes to buy things, people around him think there is a advantage to take, and they will definitely keep up, for fear that they will suffer a big loss if they don’t buy it. As for whether the things they buy are useful, it doesn’t matter. However, Li Qing’s ice juice and popsicle are just right at the right time, which is what everyone wants. In less than an hour, Li Qing went back to pick up the goods twice. Almost all passers-by on the street in Fuqian were attracted, surrounding the ice shop and rushing to throw the copper coins in his hand into the jar. After a day, they made a total of six cents of money.

Li Qing was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. While keeping accounts, he stared at the pile of copper coins on the ground with a smile. Suddenly, when he thought of something, he hurriedly shouted to the two girls in the kitchen: "Don't cook today's supper, let's go out to eat."

Since he made money, the restaurant was the only one that was the last time. Li Qing also planned to buy a few clothes for the two girls and then buy a pair of shoes for himself. He was still wearing Zhang's shoes, and the upper part of the shoe was already smiling, and he was really ashamed to meet people.

The setting sun was struggling, panting and unwilling to accept the situation, gradually disappeared in the west, the sky turned purple and red, the sunset glowed red on the faces of the three people, and the evening breeze blew away the last trace of sultry in the air. At this time, the streets were more crowded than in the daytime, and there were leisurely people strolling around. Li Qing was wearing a new white shirt, soft-footed head, wide-mouthed trousers, and soft-thin boots. His whole body was completely broken. This was what the curtain must be bought for Li Qing, and Li Qing was also content and enjoyed the power of this half husband. As for the two women, they each wore a short skirt and long skirt, which looked pretty and slender, but the color was red and yellow in the curtains. The two of them competed for beauty, which was exactly: "The leaves and leaves of the silk are embroidered, and the leaves of the golden phoenix and silver geese are each stranded."

Li Qing's eyes were straight and his heart was rippling. When he saw passers-by glances from time to time, he was even more proud. He had more vanity as a man. After walking a hundred steps, the three of them came to the largest restaurant in Langzhou.

"Young master, are we just having dinner here? Why don't you change your house?" Seeing the luxurious restaurant, Lian'er looked at Li Qing with some concern.

Seeing that the restaurant in front of him was magnificent and grand, with at least four floors. A string of apricot and yellow flags were dragged down, and four big words were written on it: Langzhong Zui Township. If a man had a lot of pockets, he would become confident. Li Qing raised his chest and said, "Why can't you eat here? Let's go! Come in with me."

When the three of them entered the hall, a waiter came up with a smile: "Three guests, should you eat or drink tea?"

"Eat!" Li Qing asked again: "Is there an elegant room by the window?"

"Sorry, the guest room is gone, so why don't I arrange three people to sit by the window on the top floor where you can see Yushui, which is as blue as jade belts. It's a wonderful scenery."

Li Qing secretly admired that even a waiter was so good at speaking and could do business. He smiled happily and said, "Okay, you can lead the way."

When he reached the entrance of the stairs, the waiter turned his head and smiled, "The two ladies are wearing long skirts, and they can walk in the middle." Li Qing was even more amazed that his time was not so thoughtful. It was the five-star hotel. As long as he looked up the stairs, he could see a row of bare legs. His contempt in his heart suddenly stopped and carefully observed the ancient business methods.

Yushui is today's Jialing River. Its downstream is called Yuzhou at that time. Li Qing saw that Yushui was indeed as green as the jade belt introduced by the waiter. In addition, the cool breeze blew on his face and his career went smoothly. He was in a good mood. He was like a wind blowing in the clouds and eating. He looked at Yan'er and Xiaoyu pursed their lips and smiled, and remembered his usual eating habits at home. The two girls felt warm in their hearts.

Suddenly, a noise came from downstairs, breaking the brief tranquility. For a moment, the noise had not disappeared, but became more and more intense, attracting diners around to go downstairs to watch the battle.

"You two sit down, I'll take a look!"

Li Qing squeezed downstairs, but saw that the waiter who was leading the way was arguing with someone. The waiter put his hands on his hips and his eyes were like eggs. It was obvious that he was right. He wanted to swallow the person opposite him in an empty mouthful.

"Isn't it only twenty cents? If the guest doesn't have one, he will treat you as a small shop. Why do he turn the black and white? He insists that the food in the small shop contains wine, and which restaurant contains wine in the price?"

The person opposite was wearing a semi-old tight-fitting Hu suit, but he was tall, with a lion nose and phoenix eyes, and a handsome appearance. He had a powerful aura in his every move. Then, such a person with extraordinary temperament was now swollen into a purple face, holding a copper cow and unable to get off the stage.

"I didn't bring so much money on me. I just said nothing. I'll forgive you. I will make up for it next time." He whispered softly, showing weakness to the waiter. Unexpectedly, the waiter still remembered his pouting revenge just now, and sneered: "Do I think I don't know your background? I'm afraid that after eating this meal, I won't visit the small shop again. The store is small and profitable, and you can't afford it on credit. You'd better pay it."

"But I don't have so much money on me, how do you ask me to pay?" The man saw that the waiter was speaking sharply, and his face gradually changed color.

"The shop has regulations: if you don't have enough money, wash dishes and pay for the bill. If you really can't pay, please follow me to the kitchen." At this time, five or six strong men came up, blocking all exits to prevent the man from escaping the road.

In front of everyone, if you escape and be captured, such a great humiliation would never be tolerated by ordinary people. Seeing that the man could no longer escape, he could only sigh and cover his face with his hands and said, "I'll go with you!"

Seeing that the onlookers were all excited and gloating, Li Qing saw that the man looked gloomy and ashamed, and felt compassion in his heart: "This person has a good temperament, but he is so depressed that he is so pitiful." So he squeezed out of the crowd and said to the waiter: "He will be kept on my head!"

The waiter was staring at the person who owed money, but when he saw Li Qing coming out to admit the account, he immediately changed his face and smiled with a smile on his face: "Young Master, I don't know that this person is so beautiful, but he is a scoundrel. If he doesn't give him a little bit of pain, he will never remember it."

Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "A tree has a skin and a person has a face. Why should he humiliate him like this?" He took out a hanging of money (note) and handed it to the waiter: "Is this enough?"

The waiter hurriedly took it and said in a panic: "Thirty quotas are enough, the guest gave too much."

"The remaining seventy quotas were exchanged for this gentleman for good wine, which I invited him to drink." Li Qing bowed to the man and smiled: "There are always times when people are in trouble. The gentleman doesn't have to take it too much, but this restaurant, the gentleman doesn't have to come again."

The man said nothing, only looked at Li Qing deeply, put the copper coins in his hand on the table, bowed his hand and walked downstairs, but the waiter jumped up and shouted, "I'm right! This person is clearly a rogue, and he doesn't even say thank you. The young master is losing a lot."

Everyone was talking, saying that Li Qing was too stupid and had no place to spend money and went to help a rogue. However, Li Qing sneered and returned to his seat. When the two women saw him coming back, they hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why are everyone watching you?"

Li Qing smiled faintly and said, "I paid for a down-and-out person."—

Note: In Chapter 6, the word "间间" also appeared. I have never found the concept of "间" in Tang coins, but I think that Kaiyuan Tongbao is always 6 jin and 4 taels, and people can't go shopping with a few jin, while "间间" is too scattered and inconvenient to hold it. So I think there should be a saying of "间间": One hundred jin, one string. This book calls this kind of "间间" and "间" as one hundred jin. If not, it is considered to be original or awaiting archaeological discovery.
