He Laosan was already smiling and a business was completed. The meat was spread outside the city. Although the door was spread out of the house (this is a regular tax in the yamen) and other common tributes, the business was also much worse. However, when he just reached out to get the money, Qin Bai quickly collected the small copper coin and stuffed the meat he had just bought into Li Gan's hand. He Laosan was a little confused: "Bai Er, are you robbing it openly?"

"Take it out?" Qin Bai was so stern, "It's you who robbed it out? He Laosan, don't think I don't know how to count. A pound of meat is 20 yuan, and a small pound is 2.5 pounds, so you can give me two or three pounds?"

One pound in the Ming Dynasty was equal to sixteen taels, which was a total of five taels. He Laosan looked calm and clenched his nose: "Look at your money yourself. I won't talk about those bad money that were privately cast, but I even got three iron coins? Do you think I took advantage of it? I feel that I was still at a disadvantage."

Qin Bai quickly took out the string of copper coins and looked carefully. He was speechless. There were actually three iron coins mixed. The currency in this era was silver and copper coins. However, the quality was uneven and the value of the currency was even more chaotic. The imperial court was not enough. Therefore, copper coins from all dynasties could be circulated, which was quite good. There were many privately cast copper coins among the people.

However, no matter which kind of copper coins it is, they contain at least a certain amount of copper, but iron coins are worthless at all. They are basically circulated from the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty. In modern times, they are cultural relics, but at this time, they are scrap iron.

"Haha." Qin Bai felt a little embarrassed and cursed, "He Laosan, do you still have a pair of dog eyes?" He secretly cursed the family where the funeral was held today. On the surface, he was quite generous in his actions, but in fact he was playing tricks, and he had lost three-money for no reason.

The wealthy families in the city like to compete, especially during weddings and funerals. Today, Qin Bai and Li Gan were introduced to such a flirting incident, playing filial sons and grandchildren, and working all day long, so that each of them received a small reward.

Seeing Qin Bai pushing the money in front of him, He Laosan quickly took it under the counter. He was still polite: "Do you want a few big bones over there? I'll give it to you, it's considered today's big head."

"Yes, why not." Qin Bai would not be polite. After traveling through time, he had been planning to supplement his nutrition for himself. It was a critical period of development, not to mention that he had to often use his fists to grab the live life. However, other meat and fish were too expensive and could not afford it. Therefore, he often went to He Laosan to get big bones that no one wanted and boiled into bone soup, which was also considered a kind of meat-making.

In fact, after spending a long time, I found that He Laosan is quite good. Sometimes I can get one or two big bones for a few cents, and even when I have no money, I can still use credit. He Laosan still attaches great importance to the friendship between neighbors.

However, thinking so in my heart, I still didn't forgive me. Qin Bai continued to laugh and scold: "Your big bone is really good, so clean that I can't even find the shredded meat."

"Hmph, that's my first-class knife skills." He Laosan praised himself instead.

"Hehe." While laughing, Qin Bai took off his mourning clothes, "I'll give you these two pieces of clothing, see what else can I change?"

"Give you another look!"

"Just like a heart? He Laosan, are you addicted to robbing today?"

"Who would want your clothes that are unlucky?"

"You can even use all kinds of hemp materials to send them to a pawn shop, right?"

"A hundred words? Bai Er, are you stupid to carry the coffin today? You can send a pawnshop to a maximum of ten cents per piece, and only twenty cents are collected in total."

"Twenty or twenty, I'll give me this waist too. Oh, I want the large intestine too."

"Little turtle, are you really robbing me? Hey, how dare you rob me of Yanmozi?"

"Hahaha……"

...

When he left the butcher shop, Qin Bai and Li Gan were only left with a close-fitting single clothes. The nutrition and exercises over the past few months have obviously had a good effect. Li Gan has already grown up in size. According to modern calculations, it should be more than 1.7 meters. He is already taller in this era. Qin Bai's figure is even taller, more than 1.8 meters, and has also developed muscles all over his body. However, thinking of his third brother's burly figure of 1.9 meters and his amazing appetite, Qin Bai couldn't help laughing. This is what we usually call "silly big guy". It should be said that these two brothers have good genetics and their childhood nutritional foundation is also good, so they have seen good results in just a few months.

Carrying the things I bought, Li Gan smiled: "Brother Bai, I can eat this for several days. Go home quickly and make Yingzi happy too."

Yingzi is Li Gan married the young wife. Several people grew up together, and their relationship was no different from that of brothers and sisters. However, Qin Bai's face slowly calmed down: "You go home first, I will pay the money from Mr. Qiu first. Take the money home first to hide it."

"So anxious?" Li Gan was a little confused. "Can't you slow down for a few days? And, Brother Bai, how much should we pay this time?"

"Give me a little bow." He took out a piece of paper money that came out of the funeral, put it into the dry tobacco smoke that He Laosan snatched, rolled up a trumpet, Qin Bai took out a scythe and lit it, and took a beautiful breath.

"Ah?" Li Gan obviously looked unhappy.

Qin Bai smiled slightly: "You have to pay for it early and late, and you can't make a small amount of money even if you put it at home. And today's work is introduced by Master Qiu. Don't think we suffer a loss this time, there may be more such work in the future."

"But the money for funerals is priced at 30 cents a day, and the amount paid is also 37 cents a day. Wouldn't that be too much?"

"Do you think Mr. Qiu can't find out that he gave him fifty cents today? Gao Zi is also in the yard to resist the bag. We will go when we have no work. Although he is giving the yard a tap, Mr. Qiu doesn't want to be tempted?"

"Then... OK! I'll listen to your second brother Bai."

...

Although Qin Bai himself was not very happy to count, he was in this world now and could only follow the trend for the time being.

Qiu Ye’s name is Qiu Bo. He is a white servant in the Ye County Yamen. There were not many formal servants in the Ming Dynasty yamen, and they were divided into four squads: Zaoshi, Kuaishi, Minzhuang and arrest squad. In addition, the gatekeepers, jailers, coroners and other personnel, the formal staffing generally does not exceed 80 people.

There is no doubt that in counties with tens of thousands of families and populations of more than one hundred thousand, these only people are not enough, so there are also a large number of "temporary workers" - gangs and white servants, and even the number is as high as thousands. These gangs and white servants' yamen do not pay their salaries, and their income comes from various bad rules.

To outsiders, the gang and the white servant seem to be similar. They are both temporary workers and do similar jobs. However, those who truly understand the inside story know that there is a big difference between the two.
