The People's Barber Shop fell into a brief silence.
Tang Qing, because he kept coughing, wanted to remind the butcher not to mention the people and things of the Li family. When the old leader saw through it, he looked very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Butcher, I don’t know that Tang Qing’s cough is to remind him not to mention the people and things of the Li family. I heard the old leader said that Master Jiujin, even if you cough to death, Killer will not understand. What is the meaning of thinking hard in a simple brain?
What's going on? What did he say wrong?
Carpenter Wang had a better brain than the Pig Butcher. Although he didn't know about the feud between the old dragon head and the Li family, he had vaguely guessed something. He didn't dare to speak easily until he was sure of what was going on.
"Master Jiujin, I know you consider my feelings and want to tell the butcher not to mention the people and things of the Li family, but you are too embarrassed to say it clearly, so you have to remind the butcher by coughing constantly. Who knows that the butcher is a
Rough man, do you know what you are thinking?"
The old leader first broke the silence and revealed the whole story.
"Ouch, Master Jiujin, you keep coughing so you want me not to mention the people and affairs of the Li family in front of Lord Long? Don't worry, I know now. I will never do it again when Lord Long is here in the future.
Mention the unfilial sons of the Li family and their scandals."
The pig-butcher slapped his thigh, looking like he suddenly understood.
"Pig-killer, it doesn't matter. The matter is not as serious as Master Jiujin thinks. It's just that we should talk less about each family's affairs behind the scenes. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to read. Who doesn't have some difficulties? No matter poverty or poverty.
Wealth."
The old dragon is very generous.
"Master Long, what's the problem between you and the Li family? Why is Master Jiujin so concerned about your feelings?"
The pig-butcher really dared to ask.
"cough……"
Tang Qing coughed reflexively, stopped immediately after coughing, turned around and picked up the razor cloth to wipe the razor to cover up his embarrassment.
"Pig-killer, the Li family and I actually don't have much of a feud. It's more that the Li family misunderstood me."
The old leader didn't care about Tang Qing's reaction.
"Misunderstood you?"
Carpenter Wang turned to ask the old dragon head, as if he wanted to find some secret from the old dragon head.
The butcher didn't wait for the old dragon to answer Carpenter Wang and said first:
"Then there is no good person in the Li family. Master Long cannot be at fault. If he is at fault, it must be the fault of the Li family."
"Oh, it's my fault. It's my fault. It's just that I was young at the time. However, it is inevitable that they will have misunderstandings. Only time will prove everything."
The old faucet said as he got up to add water.
"Master Long, you sit down, I'll do it."
The butcher put down his big teapot, took the old faucet's big teapot, and went to add water. When he passed by Tang Qing, Tang Qing whispered a warning in his ear:
"Shut your stinky mouth!"
The butcher was startled, and Tang Qing stared. The butcher lowered his head, filled up the old dragon's big teapot with water, walked to the long bench and sat down, and forgot to hand the big teapot back to the old dragon.
"Butcher, thank you. You helped me add water. Do you want me to tell you what happened?"
The old dragon took his big teapot from the butcher.
The big tea vat of Old Faucet is different from the big tea vat of Butcher. The big tea vat of Butcher is just an ordinary enamel teacup, just a little bigger.
The large teapot of Lao Faucet is made of blue and white porcelain. It is said to be a teapot, but it is actually a teapot, a large blue and white porcelain teapot.
Lao Longtou never let others touch his large blue and white porcelain teapot, so Tang Qing deliberately placed it on the top shelf of the cup holder and placed it alone.
Why did the old leader let the butcher take his big blue and white porcelain teapot to fill it with water today? He said he didn't have any major issues with the Li family? He also said that the Li family had misunderstood him.
Yeah?
Tang Qing didn't know whether to believe his grandfather or the old leader in front of him.
Grandpa has been kind and kind throughout his life, and his responsibility for shaving his head has not only brought about the livelihood of the Tang family, but also brought about the good reputation of the Tang family in Shancheng.
Whether in the past or now, Grandpa Tang Shatou is well-known in Yancheng, both for his craftsmanship and his character.
For a large family like the Li family to have a connection with a low-class family like the Tang family, not only do they need good craftsmen like the Tang family to serve them, but more importantly, Tang Qing's grandfather was the savior of two generations of the Li family.
Tang Qing's grandfather not only saved the life of Li Li's grandfather, but also saved the life of Li Li's father.
Li Li's grandfather's time was before liberation, when bandits were rampant. As a wealthy family in Shan City, the Li family naturally became the target of thieves and bandits.
It is difficult to guard against thieves day and night. The Li family has always been on guard, but the loophole lies in their housekeeper. He lost everything because of his gambling habit, and also owed a large gambling debt. The creditor was Rampant Siming.
Big bandits in the mountains.
Siming Mountain is the highest mountain range in eastern Zhejiang, with an altitude of 1,018 meters. Its main peak is in the northern part of Yancheng, and is known as the Second Lushan Mountain. According to "Shan Lu·Landscape Chronicles": "Siming Mountain is surrounded by more than 800 miles...to the east is
The mountain of breaking waves has ridges for running bulls to the west, ridges for driving sheep to the south, and cliffs for snakes to the north.”
The big bandit actually set up a trap to lure the Li family's housekeeper to gamble, and then asked him to trick Li Li's grandfather into taking him as a hostage on the pretext of forcing him to pay off his gambling debts, demanding that the Li family get one million and one hundred thousand yuan within fifteen days.
A gold bar is required to redeem the person, otherwise the vote will be torn down.
Although the Li family has a great business in Shancheng, it is completely impossible to come up with so many oceans and gold bars at once.
For this reason, the Li family was in a panic, and some descendants even proposed to give up the old man's life and just keep the current property.
Tang Qing's grandfather, Tang Shatou, was grateful to Mr. Li. When his old mother was seriously ill, she almost died because she couldn't afford medicine. Mr. Li was so compassionate that he went to the clinic for treatment in person, not to mention not paying a penny for medical treatment and medicine.
This time the Li family master was in trouble, Tang Shatou quietly carried the burden of shaving his head alone to the bandits' lair in Siming Mountain.
Bandits also need to shave their heads. In the past, they were basically shaved by Tang Shao, so it is not unfamiliar.
While shaving his head, Tang Shatou inquired about the place where Mr. Li was being held. When it got deeper into the night, he first used the bottles of good wine he had brought to get the guards drunk, and then used a shaver's pick to pick Mr. Li out of the bandits' den.
Some people may not believe this. Is this bandit's den so easy to get in and out of?
After all, bandits are bandits after all. Without a strict management system, it is impossible to think that a shaver can select a living person. Besides, the bandits are also a little frustrated that the Li family has not taken oceans and gold bars to redeem people, because
They also found out that some descendants of the Li family didn't care so much about the old man's life.
Tang Shatou, Tang Qing's grandfather, removed all the objects on the hot end of the barber's pick and let Li Li's grandfather hide in the round cage to escape from the bandits' den.
In the past, the shaver picked out hot objects at one end and cold objects at the other. The so-called "shaving pick picks out hot objects at one end and cold objects at the other."
The hot end is usually a long round cage with a small stove inside and a brass basin on top of the small stove. The water always maintains a certain degree of heat. There are three legs at the bottom of the long round cage, one of which extends upward to look like a flagpole, with a razor hung on the pole.
Cloths and towels can also be regarded as advertisements and signs.
The cold end is a tool box. This tool box is similar to a red painted rectangular stool for guests to sit on when shaving their heads. There are three drawers between the legs of the stool. The top drawer holds money. After the money for shaving is collected, it is taken from the tool box.
Stuff it into the small square hole opened on the stool. The second and third drawers are for tools such as scarves, razors, scissors, and combs.
Tang Qing’s family still treasures the shaver used by his grandfather, which has been passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
After Li Li's grandfather was rescued by Grandpa Tang Qing, the Li family was extremely grateful to the Tang family. As long as the Tang family spoke, it was not a matter of money. If they wanted to take over the Li family, Mr. Li completely agreed.
But Grandpa Tang Qing pretended that this incident had never happened, and still went through the villages and alleys to shave his own head.
Grandpa Li Li knew that Grandpa Tang Qing was a clean man and would not ask for any favors from the Li family, so he handed over the heads of all the men in the Li family to Grandpa Tang Qing to be shaved.
