Chapter 2090

Man Bao answered and asked, "fourth brother, how much money did you make today?"

"Not much," he shook the cloth bag and said with a smile, "only those who sell it to other families in the yard earn more."

Zhou Silang sold the meat to all families at a high price. When he brought the meat to the market, he also set a high price. However, when he saw that the whole market was sparse, there were no two people selling meat. People who wanted to buy meat swayed around in front of the stall, and most of them asked the price and didn't buy it.

Zhou sirang didn't know what had happened. He cut the price as soon as he had a brain.

He said: "fortunately, the half sold in the morning made some money, otherwise I would have to lose money this time. After doing business for so many years, it is the first time to do such an obvious business."

Man Bao smiled and narrowed his eyes and said, "if you are happy for the new year, you will not lose."

When Zhou Silang thought about it, he really was, "although he was distressed for a while, he felt good in his heart. He couldn't read it. He could have a good sleep at night."

He said, "before, so many medicinal materials were donated to the county government. It's not bad for this half cow."

Man Bao thought so.

The brothers and sisters slowly went to their rented yard. There were few people on the street. Occasionally, they came and went in a hurry. Most of them still wore masks similar to Zhou man's face.

It has become a necessity like people's clothes. In winter, wearing a mask can also avoid the cold wind. In addition, it can isolate epidemics, so it is easy for everyone to accept.

The mask on manbao's face was newly made for her by Cui Shi. It was made of high-quality fine cotton for several layers. She was embroidered with a clump of orchid grass outside, which was particularly beautiful. It was also made very close to the skin inside. If it was dirty, you can continue to use it after washing and drying.

Walking all the way, white hemp was hung at the door of most people in the street. When they entered the lane they rented, there was less white hemp.

Because this area is mainly rented to passers-by, but this time, many passers-by died.

The ban on xiazhou city has been lifted. People who have checked that there is no fever and acne can leave the city. Therefore, many merchants are packing up and plan to leave home after the Lunar New Year's Eve and the first and second days of the first day of the lunar new year.

Those who are still alive should send their companions' ashes back to their hometown, and they should always give an explanation to their parents, wives and children in their hometown for the rest of the money.

Therefore, man Bao can vaguely hear people crying all the way. They are all crying companions.

Zhou Silang was used to it. He took man Bao's hand and walked quickly. After a few steps, he came to the door. He opened the door and went in. There was a big pot in the yard. It was steaming with heat, and the meat smell was constantly emanating from it.

He laughed and scolded, "I said the alley is full of meat smell. So you cook here."

The third son smiled and said, "they want to cook in the kitchen. They dislike that the soup is too big and can't help it, so they moved it to the yard to burn it. Fourth brother, will you taste it?"

"What's good? That bone is so big. It tastes good if it's boiled for a long time. Don't open the cover. The smell will disappear in a moment."

Bai Shan and his family haven't come back yet. These days they are sorting out materials in the county government office.

Although there are many rooms in the yard, there are many people. Man Bao and his family do not live here, but in a place arranged by the Yamen.

But the food in the yard is better, so man Bao and his family come back for dinner every three or five times.

Liu Sanniang and Zhou Lijun were busy in the kitchen. Man Bao untied his cloak and slipped in. Then he was stuffed with a large bowl of meat. "From the morning stew to the present steak, have a taste."

The stewed steak just out of the pot was still hot. Man Bao took a careful bite, his eyes were bright, and asked, "did Sanniang make it?"

Zhou Lijun immediately said, "my fire."

Zhou Liru opened his mouth and could only say, "the water I added."

Man Bao burst out laughing, nodded and said, "I know you've worked hard."

Bai Shan knew that there were delicious food in the yard today, so after going to the yamen, he called the lobby brother and yin or together, and the four slipped back to eat delicious food together.

Zhou Silang had a table with them. While serving them soup, he said, "hurry to mend it before you go home. You two are so thin. We are fat. When we go home, we will be read to death."

Zhou Lijun agreed with her face and sandwiched a bone with a lot of meat for her sister-in-law.

Man Bao stared at the white radish in the soup and said, "I want to eat radish..."

Zhou Silang put the radish in his bowl and said generously, "I'll eat the radish. Eat the meat."

Man Bao:

Bai Shan held back his smile and said, "fourth brother, the radish in the soup is better than the meat."

"Is that so? I think the meat is still delicious. "

So does Zhou Lijun.

After a happy meal, Bai Shan asked Zhou Silang and Xiang Mingxue, "when are you going to return to Beijing?"

They can leave at any time now. In fact, if man Bao hadn't been in xiazhou City, he would have left when the Yamen officially opened the city gate yesterday.

Although it was the new year, he felt that he couldn't go home anyway. What's the difference between spending the new year in xiazhou city or outside xiazhou city?

It's better to go home early. Maybe we can catch the seventh day.

But manbao and a large group of them were still here. Zhou Silang stayed. He asked, "when are you leaving?"

After calculating the time, Bai Shan said, "we have to finish the Lantern Festival as soon as possible. If the news in the capital is slow, we may go back after the first month."

Zhou Si Lang frowned. There is still a month or even longer to go. Not to mention how many business opportunities they will miss, it is how much money they will pay just for food rather than cooking.

Bai Shan also knew that it was not easy for him to raise a large group of people, so he said, "fourth brother, go back after the new year, and report a peace letter to the family to make the family feel at ease. We came under orders, and naturally we have to go back under orders."

Zhou Silang knew that they couldn't be together, so he sighed, turned around and learned from Ming: "let's talk to the landlord and return the yard on the third day of junior high school. Let's put away our things and go."

Nodding to Mingxue, he couldn't help asking about the situation outside xiazhou, "... I don't know what the situation is in other states and counties?"

Bai Shan said: "the news we got is that they are all under control. Most smallpox patients in the capital are cured, so the problem is not big. You can go back after taking the documents."

Zhou Silang said, "remember to come here for new year's dinner tomorrow."

Man Bao said, "I don't think so. Doctor Lu wants to invite all doctors to have a meal, and there are also students from the imperial medical department."

Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru also said they couldn't come back.
