Poor family mother and son

Chapter 578
At lunch, Chu Qing made pancakes and fruit. Although the flour was not fermented as well as the cook in Yibin Mansion, it was fermented anyway, and the frying temperature was acceptable.

Gan Lai and Xiao Bao stood around the stove to watch Qing Qing's egg pancakes spread out. After rolling one, they shared half and half of it. Chu Qing couldn't keep up with their speed.

The two of them waited to eat and couldn't stop, they saw clearly that they poured another spoonful of miscellaneous batter on the iron plate, and began to discuss.

Xiaobao: "Did you see, this is the same as making iron sheets. Pour molten iron on the fine sand that is laid out, and scrape it again. When it cools, it will turn into iron sheets."

Gan Lai: "It's not the same. Your mother scrapes the paste in a circular motion, while Master Lu scrapes the molten iron in a straight line."

Chu Qing: "..."

How many disciplines is this?Physics, cooking, metallurgy?
Xiaobao: "You said mother's tongs is a labor-saving lever or a labor-intensive lever?"

Gan Lai: "It's laborious; then do you think scissors are labor-saving levers or labor-intensive levers?"

Xiaobao: "Then look at the scissors. Huang Rong's tailor scissors are labor-intensive levers, and Master Lu's blacksmith scissors are labor-saving levers."

Gan Lai: "Then Huang Rong's scissors don't take much effort, but Master Lu's do take a lot of effort!"

Xiaobao: "Ah... yes, the power arm is obviously small, so why doesn't it take much effort?"

Gan Lai: "May I ask you?"

Xiaobao: "Mother..."

Chu Qing: "...you can't talk about eating!"

The "May [-]th" from the Songjiang Mansion branch came back before Chu Qing arrived. Since Xiaobao appeared in the academy of Chongyu Mansion, they could not let "Xiaobao" appear in Songjiang Mansion again.

But when I came back, I didn’t have a chance to play with Xiaobao. After inquiring about it, he said that Xiaobao was locked up by his mother and “opened a small stove”, so he sighed: “It’s nothing good to have a mother, so I don’t let him go out to play!”

Regarding the fact that Chu Qing is Xiaobao's mother, only the children of the boat gang knew about it, not even the girls.

And these little boys were ordered by Xiaobao to keep their mouths shut, so that even the magistrate of the fish belly had been unable to find out where the person who injured his son came from even after ten days.

Not only could it not be found, even the people disappeared, which made the county magistrate very angry, and checked all the records of entering and leaving Yubo County in the past month.

Huo Mingfu and the others also checked in private, and Meng Xiangong, the eldest son of the fourth room of the Meng family, finally remembered the person wearing the three jade pendants around his waist: "That kid seems to be the one who opened the academy!"

This conclusion made Meng Xiangong calm down.

Dafang is trying to make friends with Chu Tong, but unexpectedly, this kid left Songjiang Mansion and came here, so he can't make enemies with others. Alas, it's okay, I haven't said much, I hope he won't Know who you are.

Huo Mingfu said: "That kid's mother is from the secret investigation department, so the people around him should also be related to the secret investigation department, right?"

Wei Chengqi and Kong Yu didn't think so: "When they chatted with Mrs. Shen, didn't they say they were students of Jizhou Prefecture School?"

Huo Mingfu: "A student from the government school? Are you a little old? I think those few people are 24 or [-]."

Kong Yu: "There are many people who are over 60 and can't pass the exam."

Huo Mingfu: "Yes."

They really wanted to go to Xiaobao's academy to find out the truth, but they had no reason, they couldn't find out, and the person didn't show up, so they felt very blocked.

The one who was more blocked than them was Vice Geng Qianhu.

The officers who are sent to "observe" near the college are always discovered by others, and they too, practice as often as they like, and change routes every day.
And that Chu Qing, obviously they were not following her, but following the three county magistrate's sons beside Huo Mingfu. After all, when a new official took office, the secret investigation department must have an understanding, but why did Chu Qing have something to do with them?

Let's just say that Chu Qing recognized the little officer upstairs, which made him feel ashamed, and the look in his eyes clearly said "You should mind your own business", alas.

Now, deputy Geng Qianhu is hoping that something will happen to Xiaobao, or something that is within his ability but needs to be resolved with great effort, so that Chu Qing owes him a favor.

The best way to get along well with people is to ask for help. If you dare to owe favors, it shows that you have the confidence to repay favors and the willingness to communicate with others.

Deputy Geng Qianhu has nothing to ask for clarification at the moment, so he settles for the next best thing, hoping to help her.

Because Chu Qing seldom asks for help, more often you don't ask her, and she takes the initiative to help you with things, such as paving a road or building a bridge. Generally, when this happens, you are not far from bad luck.

For example, Yi Bin's Gao Zhifu.

The turmoil caused by the reselling of official warehouse grain did not immediately endanger the Kochifu. He went to the court several times to elaborate on the anti-disaster measures, and mobilized the enthusiasm of "righteous men of all factions" to work together to tide over the difficulties, which made the emperor want to rectify However, he was intercepted by the officials, so that the positive and negative voices were evenly matched, making it difficult to attack.

However, if some people don't do it, how can the secret investigation department stationed in Yibin Mansion's governing office, which has gained a good reputation, let him easily classify himself as "righteous men of various factions"?
So Deputy Wang Qianhu reported all the evidence he had investigated about Gao Zhifu's years of reselling official grain, pushing measures to resist disasters, driving up grain prices, and suppressing righteous men for disaster relief.

The secret investigation department's investigation was not so comprehensive and detailed. In the report, it was clearly written that any foot of Gao Zhifu had beriberi.

Therefore, just after the official exchange of blood had calmed down, the Kochifu was "laid off".

***********
There is another person, he is not blocked, but troubled.

Jia Yanyao, who is known as "Stove Lord", now doubts whether his nickname is not good. "Stove Lord" does not seem to be a fighting god, so that he has not been able to take down the Beggars' Gang until now.

The Beggar Gang in the South is different from the Poor Household in the North. Before the rule of Wu Jichang and others, the Poor Household was relatively loosely organized, but the Beggar Gang is a place that specializes in banditry under the banner of begging.

Beggars, there are many reasons to be beggars, poverty is just one of the trivial reasons.

Those who have become beggars due to poverty, basically have hands and feet, and beggars are only temporary, and they will look for various ways to make a living.

However, the beggar gang can survive in the south and almost form an industry, it is not only because of poverty.

People always think that beggars are simply the bottom of the society. If it is not really necessary, who would choose to be a beggar?
Although being a beggar can get a certain amount of money, you have to sell your dignity at the same time. If a person is obviously capable of supporting himself and still begs, isn't he out of his mind?
The so-called "existence is reasonable", this point is clearly reflected in the beggar gang.

When people describe a place as poor, they would say "a place where birds don't shit", and when describing a family as poor, they would say "no rats go there". It can be seen that the existence and development of beggar gangs is inseparable from the economy.

Whether it's wars, natural disasters, or exorbitant taxes, a large number of disaster victims and refugees flock to cities in search of food and clothing in order to survive; or because of economic prosperity, a large number of people leave agriculture and flood into cities. In short, social classes are differentiated. become a beggar.
