Chapter 271 Stop
After the wheat was harvested, the rent of the [-] mu of land that Dongbao originally bought was also harvested. The high-quality wheat was washed, dried, and then ground into powder. The steamed buns look good, but they taste delicious. With the freshly fried bean paste, Master Yan can eat four big steamed buns in one meal.

"How can you just eat the sauce and not the vegetables!" Li said angrily, the three or four dishes on the table did not move, and the third son ate the bean paste tightly.

Master Yan chuckled, "It's delicious, the sauce made by Dong Bao is delicious!"

This year, Dongbao sauce was dried early, and the beans were covered with beans just after spring, and the freshly dried bean paste was eaten two months earlier than usual.

"Wait a minute, there's even more delicious bean paste!" Dong Bao laughed. She requisitioned one of the two newly expanded yards of the workshop. The yard is full of wide-mouthed sauce jars. Let the bean paste dry in the sun, and cover it when it is cloudy and rainy to ensure that no rainwater will drip in.

In July, Dong Bao, Lin Shi and Quan Zi went back to Tagouji together.

"There are nine tanks of bean paste this year, and each tank costs two hundred catties. It sells for six yuan per catty. How much can it sell for?" Dong Bao asked Quanzi with a smile.

Dong Bao thought that Quanzi would take a while to figure it out, but this kid just reported the number, "[-] yuan!"

After finishing speaking, Quanzi's small eyes flashed disdainfully at Dongbao, which meant that a question of this level was too simple.

Dong Bao was very surprised, bowed his head and calculated in his head, and it really was so many, "Not bad!" Dong Bao patted Quanzi on the shoulder with a smile.

Quanzi smiled complacently, and said: "It's not worthwhile for you to sell Liuwen a catty. Those merchants from Anzhou and Qingzhou think that Liuwen a catty is too cheap. A nice little jar to pretend to be fried, sell for [-] yuan a jar, guarantee..."

"Have you finished memorizing the Thousand Character Classic?" Lin Shi asked Quanzi suddenly.

The joyful expression on Quanzi's face immediately disappeared without a trace, he snapped his fingers, and said falteringly, "It's coming soon, it's really coming soon!"

Lin Shiqi laughed, stretched out his hand and tapped Quanzi's forehead, and cursed: "You can turn your brain very quickly, so you don't need to be in the right place!"

"Why isn't this the right place..." Quanzi retorted unconvinced, and muttered: "I'm just impatient to memorize those words. It's enough for our family to have you in the exam!"

After Dong Bao laughed, he asked seriously: "Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to go outside and have a look, it's not Anzhou or Luzhou." Quanzi stretched his hands behind his head and said with a smile, "Go to farther places and do business with people from farther places. Rare the good things we have here!"

Lin Shi looked at Quanzi whose eyes were full of hope and longing, touched Quanzi's head, sighed and said: "No matter what you want to do in the future, you should read all the words first, you can't understand anything, why? Do business with others?"

"I understand! I will study hard." Seeing that Lin Shi did not object, Quan Zi laughed.

The donkey cart slowly walked to the village entrance of Tagouji. Da Hui was familiar with this route now, and did not need human guidance at all. It was completely in automatic driving mode.

Dong Bao climbed out of the carriage and took a look. The fields on both sides of the road had already been planted with bracts and sorghum, and now the tender green seedlings were already a palm high, swaying in the breeze.From time to time, tall stacks of wheat straw can be seen. These stacks of wheat straw, which have been drenched in rain, will be the main fuel for the farmer to heat the pot for half a year.

We entered the village through the long stone road. At the entrance of the village, Dongbao saw Song Zhaodi, holding something in his arms with his head bowed, walking quickly, not knowing what he was thinking, the donkey cart When she approached, she saw Dong Bao sitting in the front of the car, her expression was as if she had seen a ghost, her face was pale with fright, before Dong Bao could speak, she lowered her head, as if she was being chased by a wild dog, she hurried towards run forward.

What's wrong with this girl again... Dong Bao looked at Song Zhaodi's slender back for a long time, but didn't call her to stop, and retreated into the carriage by himself.

After entering the village, Lin Shi and Quanzi got out of the car and drove Big Hui forward, while Dong Bao sat at the front of the car.This is Lin Shi's habit. When he arrives in the village, many villagers will come to say hello. He is not used to sitting on a donkey cart to greet the villagers from above. He always jumps off in advance, no matter how his status changes. In front of the villagers, he was still the simple farm boy back then.

Just as the donkey cart turned a corner and went around a small pond in the village, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old called Lin Shi to stop.

"Brother Da Shi!" The girl bit her lip and shouted, glanced at Dong Bao and Quan Zi, and walked over with a look of fear and uneasiness.

"You are Er Nier from Uncle Sun's family, right?" Lin Shi smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Sun Ernier was almost on the verge of crying, her face turned pale and blue, and she said in a crying voice: "I tell you, don't say I told you!"

"What's the matter?" Quan Zi was anxious, "You should tell me quickly!"

"It's Zhaodi!" Sun Ernier also burst into tears, "She's gone!"

Dong Bao's heart tightened, he jumped out of the car and asked, "Where did you go?"

Sun Ernier wiped away her tears and said: "When the wheat was being harvested, a young master surnamed Wang came to the village. I don't know what to do, so she was recruited... and she was fine. And show me the family heirloom that the young master Wang gave her." , It’s a piece of jade. She secretly told me last night that Prince Wang came to pick her up. Just now she came to say goodbye to me, saying that she would not forget me when she had a good life, and she insisted on making me swear that if I told others, I would die The place of burial... I'm afraid I dare not tell the adults, this matter...isn't it elopement!"

Dong Bao's stunned mind went blank for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he patted Sun Ernier's shoulder to comfort him and said, "Don't be afraid, you are doing good deeds, and the one who vowed not to count, God will not blame you of."

Dashi also hurriedly helped Dongbao and Quanzi into the donkey cart, and without thinking about what to say to Sun Ernier, he turned the car around and ran towards the entrance of the village, whipping his whip fast along the way.

"I saw Sister Zhaodi just now!" Quanzi said in the car. "I kept running forward, not knowing what to do."

Dong Bao also became anxious, worried and angry at the same time. Song Zhaodi has a sharp temper, and there are very few girls in the village who are willing to play with her. Sun Ernier is Song Zhaodi's only "girlfriend". From the perspective of a girl, she is likely to share her "sweet love" with Sun Ernier.

"Go down the road!" Dong Bao scolded angrily, she really didn't want to care about Song Zhaodi, she felt ashamed when this happened in front of Lin Shi and Quanzi.No matter in which era, elopement is not a glorious thing, and you have to be pointed out wherever you go, not to mention that you don't know the details of the prince, so Song Zhaodi rushed forward with enthusiasm, even if Song Zhaodi got in smoothly. After entering the Wang Gongzi's house, Dong Bao guessed that she was also used as a free maid. Who would marry an eloped woman as the wife?

The donkey cart ran fast, and soon saw the back of Song Zhaodi on the long stone road. Under the scorching sun, the figure of the broken flowers on the red background was particularly conspicuous.

"Song Zhaodi!" Dong Bao shouted angrily from afar, "Stop!"

The distant figure looked back, and immediately ran away, but it was impossible for Song Zhaodi's two slender legs to run faster than Dahui's four-legged one. Not far from the village, Song Zhaodi was chased away by Dong Bao and the others Go up and surround her in the middle.

Seeing the cold sweat on Song Zhaodi's frightened forehead, Dong Bao asked angrily, "Where are you going?"

"You don't care! Who are you? Do you care about me?" Song Zhaodi said stiffly, trembling, holding a muslin furoshiki with blue background and white flowers tightly in his arms.

Dong Bao recognized it at a glance. The fur cloth was one of the annual gifts she gave to the Song family in the twelfth lunar month of last year.

"I'm too lazy to care about you." Dong Bao impatiently played tricks on her, "Get in the car and go back with me, or I'll call your parents over and let them ask where you are going?"

Song Zhaodi usually learns from Mrs. Huang and Aunt Song very sharp-tongued, but she is still very timid. After all, she is a country girl who has never seen anything in the world. Elopement is a new test of spirit and courage. Once I did it, when Dong Bao said that he wanted to call Uncle Song and Aunt Song over, he was scared out of his wits. If both parents came over, knowing that she dared to do such a thing, it would be strange if she didn't beat her to death.

Song Zhaodi, who was surrounded by three people and a donkey, said nothing, and Quanzi and Lin Shi didn't even want to talk to her, they didn't even bother to look at her, their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

It is quite far away from Tagouji. There are fields on three sides. There are only a few farm yards less than 200 meters away from the south. There is smoke on the roof. Except for the breeze blowing from time to time, there are no people. arrive.

Dong Bao grabbed the bundle in Song Zhaodi's hand, and Song Zhaodi stomped angrily, not daring to reach out to snatch it. Dong Bao opened the bundle three times, except for a piece of clothing, the rest was a small bag. Bao tossed it up and down a few times in his hand, and the copper coins inside jingled.

"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are very promising...you have learned to steal money!" Dong Bao sneered, "Hurry up and get in the car, and I will pretend nothing happened, or I will really be called Second Uncle Two Auntie is here."

Song Zhaodi was anxious, her eyes were red, she suddenly faced the farmhouses to the south, let go of her throat and shouted: "Young Master, Young Master! Come and save me!"

However, after calling several times, there was no reply, but there were two figures behind a house who got on their horses and walked away. The distance was too far, and Dong Bao didn't see their faces clearly.

"Stop screaming, everyone is leaving." Dong Bao said, couldn't help sighing, and stretched out his hand to pull Song Zhaodi, "Hurry up and go home."

Song Zhaodi slapped Dong Bao's hand away fiercely, cried and pushed Dong Bao away who was blocking her, and ran towards the south, crying, "Young master, wait for me!"
