hidden old spring

But emotionally, Zhao Qingzhuo was reluctant to let go.

He had lived like a servant for more than ten years. In his midnight dreams, he had imagined more than once that he would become the master of this house and what he would do when the time came.

Now that this dream is about to come true, he is asked to sell the house for Master Zhao, a father he hates. What is the difference between this and a broken dream? !

While he was struggling, Su Changan came, and then Su Changan left again.

Su Changan didn't notice Zhao Qingzhuo, but Zhao Qingzhuo focused on Su Changan.

He watched Su Changan leave, and then murmured.

"Buy a yard..." He carefully tasted the words he just heard, and then his eyes slowly lit up.

At the beginning of the lanterns, there was light in a room in the wine shop in the north of the city. A man hurriedly entered the wine shop and strode to the lighted room. He bent down and looked at it three times. A man's voice came from the room.

"Enter!"

The visitor opened the door and quickly closed the door after entering. The crisp sound of abacus beads tapping echoed in the room. The people inside were doing calculations behind the table.

The man who came in was wearing a gray jacket on his upper body and a pair of shorts on his lower body. His whole body was full of muscles. What was strange were his hands, which were delicate and smooth.

He strode to the table, behind which sat a lean young man wearing linen clothes.

"Boss, there is news about the newly opened tofu shop on Chengxi Street."

Liu Sanhe, the owner of the wine shop, stopped making an abacus and pressed the calculated part on the ledger with his hand. After confirming that it was correct, he looked up at the man.

"Have you calculated the specific income?"

The man nodded, his tone excited.

"The business of that shop is very good. There is an endless stream of customers every day. It has the support of the government and a good reputation. I have roughly calculated that the tofu shop can sell at least a hundred boards of tofu a day, not counting the ones sent to the Yamen."

Liu Sanhe nodded with a calm tone.

"It's convenient for the people and has a close relationship with the Yamen. These two things are enough. Tomorrow you go ask a matchmaker and ask her to come to my door to talk about your marriage to me." The winery has stopped brewing for almost half a year, and Liu Sanhe is eager to revitalize the winery. , but the county magistrate issued an order not to brew wine in the city.

Liu Sanhe wanted to ask for a special exception, even if it meant limiting the amount of wine.

There are still many people to feed in the winery, and everyone has to eat to support their families. If the winery never opens, he will really have no choice but to sell the winery.

It's just that the county magistrate gave a fatal order to store grain, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Later, he heard that a girl came to the city and sold tofu very cheaply, and then the Yamen also bought tofu from her.

Liu Sanhe felt that this little girl who suddenly appeared would be a breakthrough, so he arranged for people to pay attention to the tofu shop.

The big man responded but did not leave. Instead, he came forward mysteriously and spoke to Liu Sanhe.

"Master, that little girl bought a yard today."

"courtyard?"

The big man nodded with stern eyes and stretched out five fingers to emphasize.

"50 taels."

"Fifty...two?" Liu Sanhe frowned and repeated. Then he picked up the abacus with his right hand and moved it up and down. The beads on the abacus returned to their positions, and he began to pull the beads again.

"One hundred plates of tofu every day...provided to the yamen...monthly money for the two apprentices...three meals a day are all meat...subafu...the market price of beans is about five cents...donkey feed...bean dregs... Iron pot... spices..."

After crackling for a while, Liu Sanhe stopped pulling the abacus, and then he frowned.

"50 taels, where did she get the money?"

Su Changan spent all the money on buying beans, but she didn't even account for her daily expenses.

Now that someone is carefully pulling her, it will cause problems.

The man thought Liu Sanhe was talking to him, so he came over to talk.

"Maybe she brought it herself. I heard that she used to be a young lady from a wealthy family." Liu Sanhe and the man looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"No way, she came into town penniless."

The man was puzzled.

"My boss, how do you know this girl is penniless?"

Of course, this is a guess after inquiring.

Liu Sanhe felt that it was a bit troublesome to explain this matter, so he shook his head and expressed that he did not want to go into details, but he was sure that Su Changan had no money when he entered the city.

"She shouldn't be making so much money."

Liu Sanhe thought about it carefully, plucked his fingers on the abacus beads for a while, and then asked with some doubts.

“Can one pound of beans produce ten pounds of tofu?”

"How is this possible!" Even if you have never been a tofu man, you know that this is impossible.

Liu Sanhe raised his eyes to look at the man again, and this time there was light in his eyes.

"Yeah, how is this possible? If it could really be done, who would eat the beans and turn them all into tofu? No one would starve to death in the world!"

So, where did the tofu Su Changan sells come from, and why is there such a disparity in ratio!

The big man felt a little uncomfortable when Liu Sanhe looked at him, so he hesitated and said.

"Master, could you have made a mistake in your calculation?"

Liu Sanhe drew the abacus and returned the beads to their positions, his tone was light but full of pride.

"Impossible." After thinking for a while, he added: "Nothing less! And she doesn't have that many beans!"

Liu Sanhe said so, and the big man could only scratch his head, think about it and then say.

"Maybe there are other ways to get beans."

"Channel?" What channel?The county magistrate has given the order, what other channels are there?
Liu Sanhe stood up from his chair and walked around the open space. The expression on his face was serious and sad for a while, and he spoke after a while.

"Don't go to the matchmaker tomorrow. Let's take a look first and see where she got so many beans."

Liu Sanhe stood still, with something else in his eyes.

"Either money or beans, she must be hiding something. Digging out her secret will most likely save the winery."

The big man smashed the bar and said with some uncertainty.

"That girl is so skinny, can she really be capable of anything?"

After Liu Sanhe sat back on his chair, he looked at the big man with a suspicious face and suddenly said something calmly.

"Li Dahu sold some candies before. Those candies were crystal clear and had the luster of gems. You can smell the fragrant aroma of the fruits just by getting a little closer. It is the ultimate enjoyment to eat it in your mouth. It is more satisfying than any kind of honey. People feel happy.”

The big man didn't know about this, and he didn't know why his boss mentioned it.

Liu Sanhe smiled and instead of answering the big man's questions, he let him leave.

After the big man left, Liu Sanhe did not continue to settle accounts, but stared at the candlestick on the table in a daze.

After a long time, he whispered again.

"One candy and one tael of silver...Li Dahu...Su Changan..."
-
Su Changan was sitting on the kang, with a soft quilt under her body. In front of her was the kang table. There was money on the kang table. She was lighting a lamp and cooking oil.

"This money is a bit broken. Can the system convert copper coins into silver?"
