Chapter 5： reward

Shopkeeper Zhang watched the wild boar and nodded in relief, "Yes, yes, we have collected the whole wild boar, and we don't need to weigh it. You can take eight taels of silver from the front account, and the more we will reward you."

Mu Yangling's eyes lit up, but Mu Shi shook his head and said, "Thank you, Manager Zhang, but this wild boar is not worth so much money." Mu Shi took the roe deer from his daughter's hand and asked, "I don't know if the shopkeeper wants a roe deer. , I have other small game here."

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Mu Yangling, who was covered with prey, and Mu Yangling gave him a big smile. Shopkeeper Zhang felt that the child was a little stupid, but his eyes quickly moved away from her face and put it on the On the prey on her body, she asked, "Are these also fresh?"

"We just called back this morning." Mu Shi looked at Shopkeeper Zhang with a smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded slightly, "Let's keep some, then go back to the account to get the money, you don't have to refuse, my boss is going to have a feast these days, these game gentlemen like it very much, if you have fresh, tomorrow Bring it back to me."

Mu Shi was only silent for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Then thank the shopkeeper." Possessed and carried the bound wild boar to the patio, and took some rabbits, pheasants and roe deer from Mu Yangling's body and gave them to them. After sending it in, I went around and took my daughter to the front account to get the money.

Everyone was stunned, even Manager Zhang, who had dealt with Mu Shi a lot, was also stunned, "I didn't expect this Mu Shi to have such strength, no wonder he can go out every day without empty-handed, even when closing the mountains to cultivate forests, he is not embarrassed."

"The shopkeeper is joking, how can there be any closure of mountains and forests in the past two years?" The man said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Zhang patted his head and said, "How long have you known Mu Shi? I have been dealing with him for more than ten years. Jin Bing never came here before, and this is not a border. The decree passed, and it was said at the time that the mountains were closed for half a year, and no one dared to go hunting in the mountains, where is it like now?" Manager Zhang shook his head and went into the restaurant with his hands behind his back.

The hunters rely on the mountains and forests for their food. Once the mountains are closed to support the forests, it will be difficult to live. However, there is a rule in this dynasty that the mountains should be closed for half a year a year, from the beginning of winter to the beginning of summer. Unfortunately, now is a troubled time, and the government orders are blocked, and the people can’t even eat. This place has become a border again, and wars and other things will often affect the mountains and forests, and the policy of closing the mountains and cultivating forests is useless.

Mu Shi took his daughter to the front, and said to her: "You wait here for Dad first, and Dad goes in to get the money."

"Father, let me go in with you." Mu Yangling said excitedly, although she has been to the town several times, she has never entered the Piaoxiang Building. Just go in and get the money.

Mu Shi patted her head and said, "That's not good, we still have a lot of prey. You are here watching the trolley, Dad goes in to get it, there are many guests inside, but you can't ram them."

Only then did Mu Yangling know the reason why Mu Shi never asked her to enter the Piaoxianglou, Mu Yangling looked down at the prey in his hand, and nodded regretfully, "Go, Dad, I'm here. waiting for you."

Mu Shi put the trolley on the side of the road and strode to Piaoxianglou.

Although the shopkeeper Zhang was in charge of the restaurant, the accountant was another person, so Mu Shi had to run to the front every time to draw money with the accountant.

There was something to say later, so the accountant was also refreshing, wrote a note for Mu Shi to sign, and gave him eight taels of silver, smiling: "My brother has earned enough today, eight taels is enough for your family for half a year. Now that you have money, why don’t you buy some property? And leave some for future generations.”

Others don't know how much Mu Shi earns. He often has to settle the bill for Mu Shi, but he knows that this man has more money than him. His own family has purchased more than ten acres of land. .

Mu Shi smiled bitterly and said: "How can I have that ability? I can only rely on my children to break through. My wife is constantly taking medicine every year, and now she is about to give birth. The money is still catching up with the autumn tax, otherwise I will not even be able to pay the autumn tax. up."

The accountant frowned slightly, "This year's tax has been heavier by 10%. I heard that your servants are also heavier?"

Mu Shi nodded solemnly, "I'm the only one in the family, so I don't need to worry about leaving my mother and children at home alone, so with the help of silver and taxes, my family is too heavy."

Qili Township is not big, and the accountant happens to be well-informed, and he is most interested in these things. It is true that he has never heard of Mushi buying a property, but he has to visit a pharmacy every few days.

The accountant shook his head sadly, and his mind was balanced a little, so what if he could make more money? The mother-in-law of the family is holding back, not to mention leaving the family for the son, I am afraid that even the daughter's dowry will not be able to earn.

Thinking of Mu Shi's daughter carrying his prey to the market all the year round, he felt even more regretful, his subordinates acted more simply, put eight taels of silver into his hands, and said with a smile: "Take it, if our boss likes it, you There will definitely be rewards for delivering things tomorrow, don’t spend all the money, save some, buy some land, and gradually save the family’s wealth, no one can eat into a fat man in one bite.”

Mu Shi took the money, nodded in response, and felt a little worried in his heart. His Al-Ling was nine years old, and he would be able to say kiss in a few years, but the family did not save any dowry. Despised by her mother-in-law.

It seems that he has to save something for Arling.

Mu Shi went out of the Piaoxiang Lou with a lot of thought, and then the storekeeper Zhang allocated the wild boars. What parts were left in the restaurant, and the rest were sent to the owner. At this time, he was coming in and saw Mu Shi lowered his head and felt a little dejected. When he left, he asked the accountant, "What's the matter? You should be very happy to get eight taels of silver."

The accountant smiled and said, "It's okay, just talking about this year's tax labor service, he didn't save a penny, and he still has no money at all, so he's a little sad."

The shopkeeper frowned, "This year's taxes are indeed heavier, and the most important thing is the additional labor," Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head, "I don't know how many people are selling their sons and daughters this year."

The cashier glanced at Shopkeeper Zhang and said, "The shopkeeper gave him eight taels of silver just by looking at this, right? You know that the wild boar is worth five taels at most, and the roe deer, rabbits and pheasants are only about six taels. , the shopkeeper's heart is good."

Shopkeeper Zhang snorted and said: "You think too much, I'm not so kind, this is the owner's reward to Mu Shi, this Mu Shi has been supplying our Piaoxiang Lou for more than ten years, and what time do you see him? Did you take advantage of us? Don’t look at him today, I saw him for eight taels of silver, tomorrow he will definitely not charge for the things he brings here,” the shopkeeper Zhang sighed: “It’s just to see that he is open-minded and fair, and the owner also appreciates him. Reward him for his talents."

At this time, Mu Yangling was also asking Mu Shi, "Father, shopkeeper Zhang just said that wild boars are worth 8 taels of silver, why are you pushing them out, leaving so many small prey behind."

Mu Shi pushed the trolley, looked at his daughter who had just arrived at the rib cage, patted her head with his hand, and said, "Child, you have to remember that some advantages cannot be taken, and the shopkeeper Zhang is tolerant to us, and we should know more. Well, he gave us the reward. If Liu Dongjia likes it, it's fine. If you don't like it, why don't you ask him to stand in the front for us? Tomorrow, you can bring a few hares to the shopkeeper Zhang's family, and I'll give them to the restaurant. Send some prey over, even if Liu Dong's family doesn't like it, and there are things I sent over later, he can't blame shopkeeper Zhang."

Mu Yangling looked at Mu Shi in surprise. The other party didn't look at all like her rough father who would only stand and be taught by her mother.

Mu Yangling secretly alerted that although she lived for more than 20 years in her previous life, her living environment was actually simple. She had to enter reincarnation and reincarnate within a year after graduating from university and entering the army. In the past nine years, her place of life has changed even more. It is only in Qili Township and Linshan Village, the mountains and forests are three points and one line, and they are not as good as Dad's finger in terms of human skills.

There are still many things in this world that you need to learn and do by yourself, but you can’t be complacent with what you already know. In the end, the short-sighted one becomes yourself.
