Ma Shun, who had come back to life, had a look of anguish in his eyes, "Who said there are refugees in our Majia Village? His Jin family is lying about the military situation and slandering them. I will let him steal the chicken but lose the rice."

The Jin family? Is it the Jin family of Jin Dafu?

Seeing Si Sheng looking at him, Ma Shun slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, my relative asked about it. Someone reported the police to Majiazhai this time. They went through the county magistrate's route. The reporter's name is Jin

Dafu is the son of Jin Yuanwai from the east of the city. I don’t know why he insists on getting on with us."

Sure enough, it was the Jin Dafu family. Si Sheng said: "Brother Ma, I know Jin Dafu. He is the cousin of Manager He of Xinglong Inn. Manager He once came to us and wanted his cousin among us to work together to make beans."

Come on, we didn’t agree.”

Si Sheng briefly told Ma Shun about what Guanshi He was trying to do to obtain the formula of dried tofu under the guise of cooperation.

Ma Shun scolded: "This person with bad conscience turns out to be the country behind the recipe for dried tofu. Let me tell you, how could the Jin family want to harm us for no reason? I thought you had offended the Jin family unintentionally."

Si Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "We are a group of outsiders who don't even know where Jin Yuan's mother-in-law is. How could we offend them? It's true that if you sit at home, disaster will come from the sky."

Ma Shun also sighed and said with some reluctance: "Such a prosperous dried tofu business can't be done like this. The money is just in front of you, but you can't make it in your hands."

Si Sheng thought for a while and then said: "Brother Ma, there are some unusual seasonings in the recipe of dried tofu that we can't buy here. My father-in-law bought them at a high price from overseas caravans.

I don’t have much left now.”

Ma Shun was immediately stunned when he heard this. It turned out that this was what happened. No wonder he and Ma Yi couldn't taste the taste of their dried tofu.

Si Sheng said: "After we left, you used the excuse that the seasoning was used up and you could no longer make the same taste of dried tofu. This would also give an explanation to the companies that signed contracts with us, so that they would not do it in the future."

If it doesn’t work well, it will affect your family’s tofu business.”

Ma Shun looked at Si Sheng and nodded blankly. At this time, Si Sheng could still think of a way out for him and even revealed the secret of the seasoning of dried tofu.

Ma Shun was sighing secretly in his heart when he saw Boss Zhao coming over and handing Si Sheng a small basket.

Si Sheng took it and took a look, picked up a cloth bag from inside, opened it and said: "Brother Ma, while I have some time now, I will pay you for today's tofu. There is a list here, you can check it."

money."

Ma Shun didn't know whether he should pick it up at this time. Si Sheng and the others were leaving soon. Even if today's dried tofu was made, they wouldn't be able to deliver it. It would definitely be smashed into their hands, but Si Sheng

But he still didn't forget to count the tofu money for him.

If Si Sheng hadn't mentioned it at this moment, Ma Shun wouldn't have thought about it at all. Si Sheng and the others would have just left, and when he thought about it later, there would be no place for him to go.

Si Sheng smiled and said: "Brother Ma, take it quickly. We have brought the tofu back, how can we not give you money?"

Seeing that Ma Shun accepted it silently, Si Sheng took out a few more pieces of paper from the basket and said to Ma Shun: "Here is the contract and list for our consignment of cloth bags at Yuelai Inn. Take these and settle the payment with the flower shopkeeper.

Well, there are about twenty taels left. Once you receive the money for the goods, you can take it and use it. It can be regarded as our friendship."

Ma Shun refused to accept it this time and said: "Si Sheng, I can't ask for the payment. It's all your own business, and I didn't contribute a single cent."

Si Sheng said with a smile: "Brother Ma, let's go. If you don't ask for the money, you will be giving away the money to Yuelai Inn in vain."

It seemed that this was indeed the case. Ma Shun couldn't find a reason not to accept it, but suddenly felt a little choked in his throat.

Si Sheng continued: "We pay monthly rent for the stalls in the town. It's the middle of the month now. You and Ma Sheng can look at it, sublet it out, or keep it to sell something. Here is the payment voucher for you to take.

."

Si Sheng pointed to a big basket that Boss Zhao placed at Ma Shun's feet, "Brother Ma, here are the oil tea that Sister-in-law Ma likes to eat, as well as some konjac vermicelli, konjac tofu, etc., which are all foods that are not sold in the town.

, there are instructions on how to eat it, don’t dislike it, just keep it for yourself.”

Looking at such a large basket of things, Ma Shun recalled the scene when Si Sheng and the others gave him oil tea when they first arrived here.

It was clearly written on the piece of paper: Crossing ten will eliminate misfortune. Si Sheng came here and brought wealth to his Ma family and eliminated the misfortune. Now that Ye Si Sheng and the others are gone, he will have good luck with Ma Shun.

Has your fortune come to an end?

Ma Shun suddenly felt sad, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He hugged Si Sheng's arm and choked out a voice, "Si Sheng, if you leave, will we never see each other again?"

Si Sheng was also a little sentimental, with red eyes and said: "Brother Ma, when the road is peaceful and I want to go to the city again, I will definitely come to see you."

"Uncle Ma." Suxue stood at the entrance of the courtyard and greeted Ma Shun.

Ma Shun hurriedly let go of Si Sheng, turned his head in embarrassment, quietly wiped away the tears on his face, then turned back and said with a smile, "It's Suxue."

Suxue walked up to Ma Shun and handed him some pieces of paper, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, I have a few tricks here, please help me take them back to Sister Ma Zhen."

Ma Shun happily accepted, "Okay, then I'll thank you for Ma Zhen."

After that embroidery incident, Ma Zhen became really interested in embroidery, and her embroidery skills improved a lot. Two days ago, Ma Sheng even sold her a purse that she embroidered for her in the town. Ma Shun

I also heard Ma Zhen say that the patterns painted by Suxue are very popular.

Suxue added: "Uncle Ma, Jixiang Restaurant is our first customer in the county. Please pass this letter to Chef Zhang and thank him for us."

Ma Shun accepted the letter, put it into his arms solemnly, and said, "Don't worry, Suxue, I will definitely send it to you and hand it over to Chef Zhang personally."

Si Sheng looked at the yard and said to the horse, "When we leave, we will knock down all the thatched huts and erase all traces. No one will know that someone has just lived here."

Ma Shun felt much relieved when he saw that Si Sheng was thoughtful.

Si Sheng bowed straightly to Ma Shun and said, "Brother Ma, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Without Ma Shun's temporary soft-heartedness and allowing them to live in this abandoned yard, without Ma Shun cooperating with them in business, they don't know how miserable they would be now. No matter what, they should still be grateful to him.

Ma Shun hurriedly returned the gift and asked with some worry: "Sisheng, where are you going after you leave?"

Where to go? Currently, there are no more choices. We can only try our luck in Fucheng, hoping that there will be a living space for people fleeing the desert, but...

Si Sheng sighed and said, "Let's go back to our hometown."

Under the pale moonlight, a long team was moving quickly along the country road. The driver tried his best to lower his voice and shouted at the animals, not wanting to disturb the sleeping villages on the roadside.

After nearly two months, the six families were on the road to escape again.

Da Sheng was driving the first carriage, followed by the Niu Zhixin family, Sun He family, Wang Orion family, Zhang Butcher family and Zhao Datou family.
