Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 429: The next person comes over to do business

Views:

The sea breeze blows, the digging of the canal is flowing water, hundreds of thousands of mountains are bred, and the rain gathers in Luzhou.

Zhang Zhong will stay in Luzhou for two years, worrying about another heavy rain next year or some days later, and let someone dig the river in advance. There are some small rivers in the state, but they are really too small. Behind them are hundreds of thousands of mountains. At ordinary times, the people were provided with a lot of trees and fruits, as well as the flesh and fur of wild beasts.

This time, the big water also provided a lot of water to the state. If there was a big river connected there, it would not be washed so thoroughly. Zhang Zhong planned to repair two big rivers to connect to the mountain, where there are mountains on the mountain. Spring water gathers rainwater in peacetime.

When there is heavy rain again, the water will not be rushed out until it is saturated, but will go directly along the two rivers to the sea, and then build a few tributaries connecting the two rivers on the other side of the mountain. It is enough to protect the banks of the two rivers. Even if you do not serve as officials here in the future, new officials can understand the role of the two rivers as long as they are not fools.

In addition to reducing losses during floods, the two rivers have another function, which is to allow mountain people who have reached the mountain or who have not walked out of the mountain to transport the things in the mountain more quickly.

Zhang Zhong’s order was passed on. The people did not have any objections, and no one questioned them. They immediately invested in the project. The little boys helped to burn the fire, send water and food, in order to save time, the people at work did not As many dishes are needed, the more convenient the better.

Zhang Zhong was thinking about every meal with meat, vegetables, and rice, but the people were disobedient for the first time and said nothing. They didn’t have so much time to stop for dinner. Finally, Zhang Xiaobao gave an idea. Pancakes, stir-fried shredded pork, stir-fried shredded green cabbage, smeared with sauce, put some pickles in it, and a scallion.

If you are willing to eat seafood, you can put some small crabs and sea hares. The people who come to Kaifeng like to eat such things. In this way, you don’t have to delay too much time. If you are thirsty, drink water and grab one if you are hungry. Just eat. Zhang Xiaobao would like to eat steamed buns for these people if it weren't for the effort of steaming the noodles.

Later, I found out that it didn’t work. The burrito could be eaten when it was cold.

There is no fixed time for food like burrito. The little kids ran back and forth between the places where the pie is made and the section of work. The workers eat when they are hungry, and eat one at a time. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry about it. After eating, I can't do anything lazily.

With this method, everyone finds that you can eat more and work more vigorously without losing much time. A rolled cake can be eaten in a few big bites.

The people are very happy because they think about themselves and others in this respect.

If someone is happy, then someone must be unhappy. Liu Shaoqing's four people were in a good mood in the morning, especially the other three people who were just given how to make rice cakes. The family was assigned to a small team and went outside to make rice cakes. Only half an hour later, bad news came.

They just got to the place where they sold rice cakes, and before they started selling, they heard the sound of selling rice cakes from the side. They leaned over and looked at them. They were all stupid. There are already people selling rice cakes for three cents, and It’s not just glutinous rice cakes made by people like them, but also millet ones.

At the same time, there are stuffed, bean paste, sugar, and jujube. It can be described as a dazzling array of varieties, especially for people who sell things. The clothes they wear are very clean and tidy. Many people spend money to buy some. Have a taste.

The money is all from various transactions with the Zhang family over the past two months, and part of it is wages.

The people sent by Liu Shaoqing and others to sell rice cakes did a little bit of calculations, and found that if they were to sell at this price, they would need to sell something for 30 cents to make a penny, and they wouldn't make much money in a day.

In no way, these people can only come back and talk about the matter with Liu Shaoqing and others.

"I can't stand it anymore. Zhang Zhong and his family are too bullying. I finally found out how to make rice cakes from the book. They secretly learned the past and sent someone to sell them. They clearly didn't want us to pay back the money. superior."

Liu Shaoqing didn’t need to ask at all, he knew it was the ghost of the Zhang family, and his family had such a skill, and it took a lot of effort to find a recipe for himself. Apart from the Zhang family, who else has such a skill can do more Do many tricks

Cao Herui sighed next to him, and said, "Their reaction was too fast. They can make more kinds of things in a day. This shows that they knew it before, but they didn't use it. Think about it again. What method can make money? I don’t believe that they can learn to make everything."

"Where is there any good recipe? They are not going to give us a way to survive. Go, let's go to Qinzhou and tell Zhang Zhong that there is a good tea-making recipe, and see them both at once. fight."

Jiang Huanshi whispered to the three people, they must steal away if they want to leave. There are people on patrol outside, so I am afraid they will run away, but here is a tunnel dug a few years ago that can always lead to the outside. After being washed by the flood, even if something is blocked inside, they can dig it up again.

No one built the house of the four people. They found a place to build it. It turned out that this authentic place was Zhang Yi’s outer house. It was on the edge of the Zhou Mansion. When the four people came back, they didn’t build the house for them, so they took the place. I moved here, I had a plan.

Jiang Huanshi mentioned that the other three people also made up their minds. When the time comes, the family members will help them. If the person who wants to come to Zhang Zhong will not treat their family members, they can only leave with four people, and they will be easily discovered when they leave.

As soon as the four people had made a decision, the gatekeeper of the large courtyard hurried in and said to Liu Shaoqing: "Master, a man in charge of Zhang's family has come, saying that he wants to see the master and negotiate a business with the master."

"Talking about business? What kind of business? I don't have anything here. What are you going to talk to me?" Liu Shaoqing heard what he said, and Zhang Zhong's first thought was that Zhang Zhong came to look for trouble again. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't see the other three people. Solution, said to the people waiting there: "Let him in."

With the sound of footsteps, the four of them looked over and saw that there were only two circles on the chest of the visitor. His complexion immediately became ugly. The Zhang family actually sent a two-star steward here. They knew that five The highest, according to their status, even if they don't send a five-star, they still have to send a four-star.

This one has only two stars, which is obviously to look down on people.

"Master Liu, I came here to discuss a business with Master Liu, I don't know if there are idlers in Master Liu's house?" The visitor did not make any expressions of flattery to Liu Shaoqing, nor did he look arrogant, just like two ordinary people. People talk the same when they meet on the street.

Liu Shaoqing snorted coldly, "Can you be a two-star player? Get your master and talk to the official."

The visitor smiled, "Master Liu has misunderstood. It is my own business and has nothing to do with my master."

"You? Do business with me? Hahahaha... Okay, great, did you hear that, a member of the Zhang family came over to do business with me, tell me why? Ah? Why? Tell me, everyone Listen, how can a subordinate do business with a judge?"

Liu Shaoqing couldn't help it anymore when he heard the people coming. He laughed and pointed his finger at the people, and let the other three people look at them. The other three people also laughed.

Cao Herui looked at the unmoved people, and said, "You should go back and do things quickly, or let your master know that you will get discounts on your legs. You can't do business, let alone those of us. You can lie, be obedient, go home quickly."

Waiting for him to finish, the four of them laughed, and the visitor said, "I have two hundred guans of money, and I can borrow two hundred guans of money for the housekeeper. That's a total of four hundred guans of money. I don’t know. How much money does an adult have? Four hundred guan, as long as I start this business, I will earn more in the future, and then Master Liu will also earn more. Since Master Liu feels that I cannot do business with adults, then I Then leave."

The visitor turned around and left after speaking out.

The four of them froze for a moment, and Liu Shaoqing hurriedly shouted: "Wait, where do you get the money? What kind of business are you going to do, speak and listen."

"The servants of Zhang's family are different from those of your family. In addition to the monthly allowance, there are additional rewards. You don't have to spend money for food ordinarily. You save more. The business I want to do with Mrs. Liu is simple. It is Mrs. Liu. The home makes shrimp paste, you catch the shrimp yourself, and you get the salt yourself.

If you have enough manpower in your home, you can catch a lot of shrimps and put them in the jars that day. I will pick them up a month later and pay all the money. This time I'm going to buy two jars of 20 kilograms. Hundred altars, one altar has 500 essays, and a deposit of 20 cans be paid first.

If it is done this time, then more quantities will be added next month. I made money, and you also made money. Master Liu can think about whether to do it or not. If you do it, you must come out in a month. Two hundred jars, it can’t be the shrimp paste that was not ready when it was delivered. "

This person stopped, told Liu Shaoqing the matter, looked at Liu Shaoqing, and waited for his reply.

Liu Shaoqing thought for a while, then looked at the other three people, and asked, "Could you tell you what to buy so much shrimp paste for?"

"What I am doing has nothing to do with adults. Adults can do it if they agree to get some prawns. There is no capital. The twenty deposits are enough to buy the jar. Even if I don't collect it in a month, the adults will not pay."

This person simply rejected the question of what he wanted to buy.

Liu Shaoqing thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Do it, how about the money? Let's make a written statement."

He had already figured it out clearly. Even if this person didn't come to collect it in the end, the two hundred jars of shrimp paste could be sold slowly, indeed without compensation.

Seeing Liu Shaoqing had agreed, this person turned to the door and carried a box with another person. The box opened. It happened to contain twenty pennies, which weighed more than one hundred and twenty catties.

Liu Shaoqing also happily wrote the notes directly and drew on both sides, which was regarded as a conclusion of the transaction.
