Chapter 325

The song steward also laughed and said, "I'll come back at this time tomorrow. If my mother is willing to do this business with me, I'll pick a PAZI outside the porridge shed. If I can't see the PAZI tomorrow, I won't bother my mother again."

Song's mother thought, no matter what, it's good for her to think calmly for one night.

Soon after the young man left, she went to the porridge shed next door, where a young daughter-in-law was in charge.

She chatted with others for a while, then asked, "do you know the young man who came here at noon today?"

"Which young man?" Suddenly asked by mother song, the young daughter-in-law did not respond for a while.

"It's a young man who claims to be surnamed song," his mother reminded him. "Where did he come from? Look at my memory. When I get old, I forget what I just said. "

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she said, "are you talking about song Guanshi? He is in charge of yumipu in Rongcheng county. He is really young and promising. "

Listening to what the daughter-in-law said is similar to what the song steward said, Mother Song felt relieved.

But later she asked two or three other companies. As the manager of Song Dynasty said, most of the people in the congee shed knew him, and he was also an old hand in this field.

So the next morning, she asked people to pick out a piece of cloth outside the porridge shed. Although her people thought it strange, they still did it according to the words.

At the end of the first round of porridge making, when the women gathered behind to wash the porridge pot, the steward named song came again.

But this time, instead of beating around the bush with his mother, he took out a black and white letter and said to her, "if my mother thinks it's OK, she will sign this with me first, and when I come back to exchange grain, I'll give you the silver."

Mother song relied on her ability to recognize a few words, so she wrote the document

I've seen it over and over, and I think it's best to pay and deliver at the same time.

If his money doesn't come, he won't put food on his side, and he's not afraid of being cheated.

And this is just a sign.

So, without hesitation, mother song and the song steward signed the pictorial respectively and exchanged documents.

The song steward said that he would send someone to come in three days, and then he left cleanly.

As soon as she thought that she would have several hundred taels of silver in three days, Mother Song's heart was faintly excited.

In this way, two days passed peacefully. On the third day, mother song was directing the women to cook porridge in the porridge shed, but she heard that there was a sudden commotion outside the porridge shed.

Although mother song was curious, she sent someone to inquire about the news. When the man came back, she reported, "it's shuntianfu Yin who is inspecting the porridge shed."

It's just a porridge shed. What's good for inspection?

Song's mother was surprised.

Just as she was about to turn back to the porridge shed, she heard the servants of the porridge shed nearby whispering together.

"I heard that there are two people in Dongtou who have cooked porridge with moldy rice."

"What? How dare you use moldy rice“ Yes, it's a good thing to use old rice. It's a bit unreasonable to use moldy rice after all... I heard that the woman in charge of the porridge shed was directly put into prison by the master Fu Yin. She said that she wanted their boss to come out and say something... "

Mother song's heart jumped when she heard this, and she secretly congratulated that song's manager had not come, otherwise she would be in great trouble when she was found out.

The Yin family of shuntianfu came to see it. When they came to the congee shed of jinwangfu, they had already inspected it.

There are a few managers who are usually all-round, and this club is also very dogleg behind the master Fu Yin, waiting on him.

For this year's situation, Lord Yin Ying of shuntianfu is quite full

I mean it.

In hundreds of congee sheds, only two of them used moldy rice. As for those who used old rice, he turned a blind eye.

When he came to the porridge shed of King Jin's residence, Ying's steps stopped. He looked at everyone with a happy face, and finally his eyes fell on his mother.

"Are you the mother in charge here?" Mr. Ying has two in forty this year, but he keeps a good figure. His face is not angry, and he is very powerful.

Song's mother subconsciously wiped her hand on the clothes, bent over and said, "if you go back to the master, yes."

Mr. Ying nodded with a smile and said to the humanity behind him, "if you want to talk about these congee sheds, I'm most relieved that they are from the Jin palace. They not only use new rice every year, but also the congee is thicker and sweeter than other families. Even the experienced villagers have to rob their families in line."

After hearing this, mother song suddenly realized.

No wonder they always have the most people in front of the porridge shed every day.

Then, he said with a smile, "I've seen so many houses all the way today. I'm really hungry... You can serve me a bowl too!"

That song's mother listened to in the heart a clap Deng, the face has the embarrassed smile way: "but today this rice just under the pot..."

"Yes, yes, yes," he said, patting his forehead with a smile, "forget it."

Listen to should adults in front of the wind talking and laughing, but the two petty officials whispered in private.

"Brother Qiang, do you need to check the rice of this family?" A soap coated official with a small bamboo tube in his hand asked the man beside him, "adult Ying seems to know them very well."

"Why not?" Another small official with the hands of the bamboo pen tail hit the previous soap coat small official's forehead a record, "we adults are the most public-private clear."

The little official in soap clothes thought it was the same, so he touched his sore forehead and took the small bamboo stick with him to the small compartment where the grain was stored.

This small bamboo pole is specially used to collect grain. One end is closed by the bamboo knot naturally, and the other end is cut into a sharp mouth shape. Just stick it on the bag, and the grain in the bag can roll into the bamboo tube. When the bamboo tube is pulled out, the grain will also be brought out.

The little official looked at the grain in front of him. He secretly said that the king's house of Jin was rich and powerful, and other people's houses had at most forty or fifty bags. It seemed that there were more than a hundred bags here.

He also picked a convenient place to stick the bamboo stick in his hand, pulled it out, and poured the grain from the bamboo tube into a small porcelain dish prepared in advance.

But when the grain rolled out, the little official's face also changed. Some of the rice on the saucer was clumped, some grew moldy filaments, and some of the rice was speckled, but it was unbearable that there was a lot of sand and stone mixed in the rice

This situation is even more serious than the two families found earlier!
