Zheng Peng nodded: "It's still in the name of Huang Zhutou, Zheng didn't make any efforts, so he won't mix." ”

In ancient times, there were also many charities, the orphanage was to adopt some orphans or the elderly who had no one to take care of, Zheng Peng nodded and agreed to Huang Laogui's proposal, but left the honor to Huang Laogui.

The uncle and nephew of the Huang family are bleeding heavily this time, and the culprit Huang Laohu was beaten all over the body, and he promised to release the debts without collecting profits, and he also donated so many gold leaves, it is estimated that he is distressed and about to bleed.

Huang Lao Ghost was a little surprised, seeing that Zheng Peng's appearance was not like a joke, he didn't dare to say anything more, said a few words of thanks, and apologized repeatedly, and then pulled the scarred Huang Laohu away with relief.

Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as you keep people, the money will be earned back slowly, this time it is hemorrhage, but you can sleep peacefully in the future.

The uncle and nephew of the Huang family walked away, and Lu Shu said with some fear: "That Huang Zhutou is really ruthless, and he beat his nephew so much." ”

Zheng Peng smiled, shook his head and said: "He has the nickname of an old ghost, he must be careful in doing things, the last time he asked Huang Laohu to surrender to the county office, it can be seen that he is timid and cautious, this time it is not surprising to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, anyway, what they do is in the dark, and they can't really do anything to them without evidence." ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng added: "Don't look at how hard he fights, this old yellow ghost is an old oilman, he is very measured, he specializes in hitting places with thick skin, only pain and no injury, all skin injuries, Huang Lao Hu can rest for one night at most, and he can walk and run the next day." ”

It is said that the Yin of the Destroying Sect, the Broken Family County Order, and the bloodsucking officials, like Huang Laogui, most of them have their own unique skills when rectifying people, such as how to make people speak, how to make people collapse, etc., Zheng Peng has heard that some Xu officials in order to receive red envelopes, hard practice the technique of hitting the board, wrap a stone in the clothes, when the stones inside are broken, but the clothes are still intact, this is the teacher, they can beat people to the point that they are not injured, or they can beat people to the surface is nothing unusual, but the body is very seriously injured.

When Huang Lao Ghost beat Huang Laohu, Zheng Peng looked at it carefully, and really found that Huang Lao Ghost was very measured when he beat him, avoiding important parts and joints.

No, when he left, the yellow tiger who looked miserable could walk on his own without even helping.

Lu Shu suddenly realized: "So that's the case, these two people are really cunning, but young master, there is one thing I don't understand." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The young master didn't send them to the official, and he didn't want their money, he just watched Old Ghost Huang beat up his nephew, why is this?"

I don't want the money sent to my hand, it's better to reconcile a little, at least I can earn a favor, and now the money is donated to the orphanage, or in the name of Huang Laogui, which is a bit detrimental to people, and Lu Shu can't figure it out if she wants to break her little head.

Zheng Peng patiently explained while pushing the cart into the door: "It's a bit inappropriate to send the official, how to say it, this uncle and nephew are bad, but they are standing in the dark, and there is no real sabotage, so they can't just say that they are guilty, right?" How can you sue them if you don't have a certificate? Looking for help from Guo Mansion, will people think that we are using Guo Mansion's power to collect wealth and discredit them? ”

"It's not appropriate to send them to the county government, just let them go, I'm afraid that they will forget the pain after their scars, how can I let them have a longer memory, this is called increasing the cost of their mistakes, if you want to deal with us in the future, you have to think about the consequences first, the reason for not collecting money was just said, this money is not glorious, this young master doesn't want to tarnish his reputation because of this little money."

There is a reason why Zheng Peng didn't say: he and Guo Yuanzhi of the Guo family had a little misunderstanding, and he almost didn't commit embarrassment, Guo Ketang is a good person, but he is too shrewd, and asking her for help is simply to catch a mouse into the rice tank and ask for losses.

"Young master, you are still so powerful, so thoughtful." Lu Shu said with a look of adoration.

When they got home, the two of them put the rack car away, then cleaned the tools out of the stall, and washed them with hot water after cleaning.

This is Zheng Peng's habit, maintain good hygiene habits, estimate the quality of the food, do small business in later generations, there are often food safety people to surprise inspections, now no one checks the health situation, but Zheng Peng still retains this good habit.

Do a line of love, so that you can do a good job.

After packing up, it's time for the couple's favorite part: counting the money.

Selling braised meat is to pay money with one hand and deliver with one hand, the money is clear, Zhao Peng found an urn to collect money, every time he successfully sold a piece of braised meat, he threw a handful of copper coins into the money urn, and when the stall was closed, there was a full urn of yellow and clear five plant money, holding a heavy one.

Zheng Peng shook it vigorously, and the copper coins collided with each other in the urn, making a unique rattling sound of metal collision, hearing this seductive sound, the eyes of the master and servant both revealed a light of hope and satisfaction.

This money is obtained from selling braised meat, not stealing, not robbing, not cheating, it is the fruit of the labor of the two, it comes in a bright and fair way, Lu Shu looked at the copper coins piled up on the table into a mountain of money, and then looked at Zheng Peng, his eyes were full of admiration.

My own young master, it's really amazing.

There are a lot of copper coins, and the master and servant begin to count, and when they count, they each take a rope, and while counting, they pass the rope through the hole in the middle of the money, and when they count enough to have a thousand copper coins, they will tie them tightly at both ends, which is considered consistent, and divide the money into consistent and consistent, so that it is convenient to use it in the future.

You can't count them all at once.

The currency of the Tang Dynasty was mainly copper coins, supplemented by gold, and a thousand Wen was consistent, but the consistency on the market was usually less than a thousand Wen, most of which were about 900 Wen, which was called Short Mo, but people still regarded it as consistent.

Zheng Peng is not a person who always has to give enough 1,000 copper coins, now he just divides it and takes out some more when he uses it.

Some people agree that 100 articles are consistent, and Zheng Peng will never mind.

After counting the money, Zheng Peng rubbed his sour hands, stretched his waist a little exaggeratedly, and asked, "Lushu, how much did you collect today?" ”

A basket of money, to say the least, there are thousands of copper coins, Zheng Peng counted so much that his hands cramped, and he comforted himself in his heart, he could count the money in advance and count the days of hand cramps.

"It's a total of three runs and six hundred and seventy-two texts." Lu Shumei said with a smile.

The three-day preferential period has passed, the price of braised meat has risen from 20 to 30 Wen, the materials are pork and pig water, Zheng Peng is selling a uniform price of 30 Wen, but I didn't expect that a few days later, the braised meat made by pig water is getting better and better.

This also changed the fate of the pigs in the water, which used to be picked and thrown on the ground, but now the butcher will let the apprentice wash the pig after killing it, hang it on the desk and wait for the purchase.

I don't know if the stray dogs in Guixiang County have a grudge against Zheng Peng.

"How much money do we have now?"

Lu Shu just thought about it, and said with a smile on her face: "Young master, plus today's income, there are about twelve yuan, oh, by the way, Uncle Qian still has one hundred and twenty Wen left." ”

The front sells for twenty wen a catty, and the quantity is not much, that is, it sells a little more in the next few days, but it can save twelve yuan in a short period of time, which is a very good result.

Zheng Peng smiled, waved his big hand and said: "It's been a long time since I've been in the restaurant, Lu Shu, clean up, let's go to the restaurant for a good meal in a while, by the way, it's almost winter, let's put a few more sets of winter clothes." ”

With money, Zheng Peng's waist straightened and he spoke loudly.

Lu Shu whispered: "Young master, this money is not a lot, you have to save some money, the maid's clothes are enough, you don't need to buy it again, didn't you leave a lot of braised meat before going out of the stall, just go and eat some wine and food, you don't have to go outside to spend money." ”

Just a few days later, the habit of spending money lavishly came again, and Lu Shu didn't dare to say anything, so she had to persuade in a low voice.

The house is dilapidated, and when the cold wind blows, the cold air pours into the house, and it is better to have money to repair it or save up to buy a good house than to eat and drink.

Zheng Peng knew Lu Shu's thoughts, and comforted with a smile: "Money is a bastard, you can earn it after you spend it, don't worry, isn't it money, someone will send it to the door soon, and you won't be able to spend it by then." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden neighing of horses, and then there was a banging knock on the door, and a familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Is Zheng Gongzi at home?" ”
