Chapter 782

After everyone ate and drank enough, and rested for a while, County Magistrate Yang explained a few words to the yamen servants, and then went out with Man Bao and the others.

At this time, the busiest time has passed, and the people who are shopping have calmed down a lot. Everyone is walking slowly, and those who are tired or hungry find a nearby shop or stall to sit down and have something to eat. thing.

So county magistrate Yang can safely go out with his hands behind his back.

After going downstairs, Daji went to the back of the restaurant and first brought the chicken coop hanging from the back of the car.

County Magistrate Yang was surprised when he saw the big cock in his hand, "Is this your cargo?"

The three nodded together.

County magistrate Yang stroked his chin and said, "It's impossible to sell it to a restaurant to make it into a dish, right?"

"If it can't be sold, it can only cook in the end."

The rooster in the coop clucked a few times, and I don't know if it understood.

County Magistrate Yang curiously followed them down the main street, and then turned into a small street. The inside was also lit with lanterns, but unlike the outside, it was as bright as day and full of noise. Shouts rushed towards his ears.

Man Bao and Bai Shan Bai Erlang were also obviously stunned. County magistrate Yang knew that it was their first time visiting the three of them, so he couldn't help but smile.

There was some strange smell in the air, Man Bao waved his hand in front of his nose, and said with emotion: "It stinks."

County magistrate Yang squinted his eyes and looked into the depths of the street, and finally found the information of this street in his mind, "Is this the street where the gambling house is located?"

Man Bao nodded and asked, "Master Yang, have you been here?"

"I've been here," County Magistrate Yang said, "I've been here to handle cases, and I've also come to see it, but it's the first time I've come here at night."

He turned his head and asked the three of them, "Have you been here too?"

Man Bao said: "I've been here a few times, but only during the day."

County Magistrate Yang asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

Man Bao pointed to the chicken coop in Daji's hand and said, "Sell chickens."

County magistrate Yang looked down at the big rooster in the cage, and followed them silently.

After walking not far, there were people fighting cocks in front of them. Obviously it was time for the big rooster to sleep, but they just woke up the rooster, stretched its neck and screamed and clucked to fight.

County Magistrate Yang didn't like this atmosphere very much, and frowned.

But Man Bao watched it with gusto. After watching it for a while, she found a seller who seemed to be reliable and let him see her big cock.

After all, this is for fighting. The buyer carefully picked it up and said: "Okay, three taels of silver, you can keep it if you want."

The three of Man Bao secretly discussed and agreed, so they paid the money and delivered the goods. After taking the money, Man Bao looked around, "Shall we go shopping again?"

Bai Shandao: "Let's see what other people's roosters look like."

County Magistrate Yang accompanied them to watch, and when they finally had enough, he followed them out, "You are watching so carefully, are you planning to gamble with cockfights?"

Man Bao shook his head again and again, "We don't gamble, basically those who gamble don't end well."

"Then what are you guys?"

"We plan to raise more big roosters. The best ones that can fight will be sold to them as fighting cocks. Fighting cocks are more than ten times more expensive than ordinary cocks."

Bai Shan also nodded, "It's too much money."

County Magistrate Yang didn't expect them to come up with this idea, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "Aren't the roosters used in this game cock difficult to raise? I heard that they need to be intensively raised, and the food they eat is more expensive than human beings. "

But Man Bao said: "That's not true. If you want to raise a rooster well, you have to feed it well, but it's not enough to eat better than humans. My second sister-in-law raises the best chickens. The roosters are shiny and have red combs." You Gao, our little Zhuangzi is all raised according to my second sister-in-law's method. Although it is not as good as my second sister-in-law's, it is not bad. If we are more careful, I guess we can produce 30 dogs a year. Cockfight left and right."

Bai Shandao: "A piece of silver is three taels, thirty taels is ninety taels, and each of us can share thirty taels."

Bai Erlang also said: "What I eat is the grain and vegetables produced in the village, basically I didn't spend any money."

County Magistrate Yang looked at them in a daze, "Are you short of money?"

The three nodded together.

Bai Shandao: "There are more and more things to learn in the school, and everyone likes to buy expensive and good things. After fifteen years, when I go to the school, I must change to a good piano. Ma can continue to rent the school inner."

Bai Erlang said: "The price of government schools is very high, it costs a lot of money to treat guests to dinner outside, I can't always eat other people's food, I have to treat them back."

Man Bao said: "In addition to books, I also need to buy some medicinal materials, and I also want to treat guests. If my husband wants me to learn music, I also have to buy a piano."

Magistrate Yang: "Your family doesn't give you money?"

Bai Shandao: "Originally, it was given, but after the winter solstice, my grandmother said that Man Bao didn't spend the family's money for studying outside, and her father could still receive her money, so she didn't give me any money, let me Use your own first, then ask your family if you don’t have enough, it’s not for nothing.”

Bai Erlang was even more aggrieved, "As soon as my father heard that Bai Shan didn't want any money from the family, he cut off my money too. Hmph, he also said that my elder brother didn't have any land, and the family had already given me a piece of land for private property. You should ask the family to get the money again."

So Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at Man Bao together.

Man Bao bowed his head guiltily, and whispered: "My fourth brother just said this, who knows who sent it back? My family will never talk to outsiders about my father taking my money. people said."

This is the rule of the old Zhou family.

As long as you know how much money you have, you can tell it to your family, but you must not spread it outside.

With so many people in the old Zhou family, it is impossible to find out where the news came from, but it is true that they need money and need to make more money.

County magistrate Yang, who didn't agree with their business at first, couldn't say anything against it. He could only pat the three of them on the shoulder as a comfort.

However, he still warned: "When dealing with such people, you have to be careful, and don't get caught in their bad habits."

"Don't worry, we will never gamble."

County magistrate Yang said with a smile: "Many people said that before they gambled."

Bai Shan: "We won't, if we are tempted, just think back and think about Brother Zhou."

Man Bao nodded.

Magistrate Yang was curious, "Why, Zhou Zhoulang gambled before?"

Man Bao said solemnly: "I gambled and almost sold me to pay off my debts."

Magistrate Yang's eyes widened in surprise.

Bai Erlang laughed loudly and said, "It's a lie, if your family is rich, how could you sell you? My housekeeper said that you also have a silver long-life lock, which was borrowed by your parents because they were reluctant." Money. Even your longevity lock is reluctant to give it away, let alone sell you."

Only then did Magistrate Yang feel relieved, and he just said, Old Zhou's family doesn't look like that, but... "Erlang, I'm not a ghost."

Good night
