"Mother, this is not made by a powerful person. It is Xiangrui. There is a family that grows cucumbers in the summer. In the winter, they produce cucumbers one by one. The magistrate has already listed them. People come down to check, mother, which cucumber is good, pick it back and eat it."
The terrible mother Zhang Mingsheng, the county prime minister, broke this matter. In that case, don't want to eat cucumbers in the future, and the other benefits are also gone. Should the Zhangjiazhuangzi people hate themselves
Mother Zhang was stunned, then took a closer look at the cucumber inside, then turned to look at her son, stretched out her hand, touched his son's head, and said:
"Oh, mother just say, why are there so many cucumbers? It turned out to be Xiangrui, my son, don't worry, mother understands, mother understands, this is Xiangrui, it is not easy for the people to live, you must remember in the future to cut off people and money. We can’t do things like this. When our Sanshui auspiciousness is almost there in the past few years, there will be auspiciousness in other places in Datang."
Song Jinggong was terrified when she listened next to her. This old lady, it's not easy. She understood everything with such a simple sentence. Fortunately, the old lady was pretty good, and she was relieved when she knew how to conceal it.
Xian Cheng himself knew that his mother could not be fooled. He helped her to enter, and said as she walked: "My mother is right. The child must remember her mother's teachings and will never do things that hurt people and money, let alone my mother. I still love this cucumber."
Mother Zhang laughed, "You, I will make my mother happy. Pick it, pick two more and take it home. Mother will also dip in the hot sauce and eat less, so I won't be afraid of the spicy food."
Mother Zhang really walked in, and she seemed to understand that as long as the people who came down to check saw that there were living cucumbers, that would be the greatest success. As for the future, these cucumbers would be useless, and the cucumbers they would eat would not be less. .
Seeing the two people go in, Song Jinggong’s mission was completed and she had to go back soon. I don’t know what to do, especially the firecrackers. It seems that he is going to sell him out. She is also a juror or an assistant. Forget it, but I still have to do business outside.
Song Jinggong and Wang Guanjia led the motorcade back. Some of the cars were borrowed, and the cars were not borrowed. The handlebars of the cars were all the dealers of the two Zhuangzi of Zhang and Wang.
…
Zhangjiazhuangzi is in a small courtyard belonging to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two men are fighting military sports here. They look really good one by one. They just don’t have much power. In less than half an hour, two people are on their heads. There was sweat.
Afraid of catching a cold by the cold outside, I’ll stop here for the time being, go back to the house and change clothes, wipe off my sweat, and it’s time for snacks, fried carrot sticks as french fries, cucumber as fruit, next to it There is also a bowl of egg soup.
When the two people put the food in their mouths, they chewed slowly, trying to chew everything into pieces, which is good for the body to absorb. Now they basically eat seven or eight times a day to supplement their body’s consumption. Compared with children of the same age, the two are obviously taller and stronger, both of which are the result of exercise and eating and drinking.
"The Erniu has been out for a few days. I don't know if we can find medical stones. It will not take a long time for spring plowing. The wheat has been planted long ago, and it is about to take shape. Do you think there will be a drought here this year? You have to prepare in advance, I asked, there are already carts, and a few are enough for the water supply of two villages."
Wang Juan ate two carrots, took another sip of the soup, leaned on the chair she had made, lay down beautifully, and asked casually.
"This thing is not difficult to find. I have told him the general appearance. Then he will let others draw it and spread some money, and there will be many people helping him find it. I don't remember that there is a drought here this year, Shandong There seems to be no precipitation since this winter, and it remains the same in spring and summer.
The current prime minister seems to be Yao, a very powerful person, but he was taken down. He handled the drought well, and the locust plague was the same. We went, nothing more than to find some good for ourselves, if that If it doesn't work, I will leave the method of growing cucumbers to the court. "
Zhang Xiaobao was still eating cucumbers. At this time, he ate two whole cucumbers. He stopped to drink the soup until he felt astringent in his mouth, and made judgments and choices about some things.
Wang Juan didn’t say anything. He was tacitly acquiescing to Zhang Xiaobao’s decision. There is no better way to change to her. In fact, she also knows that with Zhang Xiaobao’s head, there is no problem in trying to get more ground, but she just doesn’t want to. Abandoning those 100 households is not just a question of money, but also a matter of status.
She and Zhang Xiaobao don't care about this status, but the old lady can't. And Zhang's father, once they lose this status, the old lady's health is very likely to go wrong. This is something Zhang Xiaobao absolutely doesn't want to see.
Zhang Xiaobao drank the last sip of the soup, patted his stomach, and squinted for a while, waited until he felt it was almost done, opened his eyes and said, "It is time to arrange for Xu Si to live. Let’s see how he is capable, and follow his performance. Position him again."
"Well, there is a new person you are looking for. I forgot to mention it. He has been raising on Zhuangzi for the past two days. He should be a little fatter. It turned out to be a little too thin, and he doesn't feel like a safe person. , What are you going to arrange for him, Zhuangzi seems to have nothing to do."
Wang Juan also opened her eyes. If Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything, she almost forgot Xu Si.
"Yes, I will leave the market to him, especially the pricing. This position is very important. If he does well, I am going to form a business group next year and let him take charge. We will pick ourselves out. The imperial examination.
In this world, it is not enough to have no strength, especially in terms of power. What are you going to do in the future? Speak up, I will help you advise you, I generally don't do this kind of thing for others casually. "Zhang Xiaobao didn't forget to make fun of Wang Juan.
"I'll be an official too. I'll see who gets promoted quickly. There are female officials here, right?" Wang Juan ignored Zhang Xiaobao's teasing and said proudly.
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned, "You can pull it down. What kind of work does a female officer do? You are not suitable. It's not a little longer than before. It's not a woman in power. Li Longji will do all his aunts. You still want to do it. In the early days? In this way, the family matters are left to you, and you just need to take care of the family."
"I don't stay at home all day, I want to have my own career." Wang Juan obviously disagreed.
"You think your family is so well-controlled. In the future, there will be more and more people in my family. You have to understand all kinds of relationships, and you must also ensure the interests of all aspects of the relationship. Don't you want to train people, and then let you There will be more training people. I won’t discuss this issue for now. Now it’s a bit early. Let’s go and see Xu Si."
Seeing that he couldn't convince Wang Juan for a while, Zhang Xiaobao gave up, slipped off his chair, waited for Wang Juan to come down, and walked out together.
Xu Si's past these two days is not bad. He eats hard every day. This is what Zhang Xiaobao said at the beginning. He is too skinny and needs to eat more so that he can do things well in the future. Don't get tired before the critical moment.
Xu Si didn't have any objection, and really ate it hard. He slept for at least five hours a day, trying to make himself a little bit fat. A few days' work, it really had some effect, and the face was obviously rounded.
He also got up very late today. He had just eaten, and before he could think about what he was going to do today, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan arrived together.
"Little son, do you want to do something for the younger one?" Xu Si became excited when he saw the younger son. He has been waiting for him to arrange some work for him. Comfortable.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other, and Wang Juan said, "Yes, you have to do something. Are you literate?"
"In return for the little lady, the little one is illiterate." Xu Si had nothing to do with this. He felt that the two little masters seemed to need someone who could read, but he couldn't speak nonsense.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to read. If you learn it slowly in the future, then you always know what the dealers around here need for life?" Wang Juan was a little disappointed, but encouraged him.
Xu Si nodded fiercely this time, "I know, of course the little one knows, should he let the little one guard the grocery store? The little one must guard it."
"What kind of grocery store is guarded? That small place is not suitable for you. After the fifteenth century, you will create a market on this side of the bridge. Now you have to buy what the dealer needs and go outside to buy and negotiate the price. , You will be responsible for pricing the items brought by all dealers who come to buy and sell things in the future.
You can also collect things that cannot be exchanged here, and then sell them to other larger states and cities. From now on, you will do everything by yourself, and give you the type and amount of things you want to buy. Pomegranate speaks out, take money from her, you just buy it, no one else will care about it. "
Zhang Xiaobao also spoke at this time, and a bunch of things were said, making Xu Si almost fainted. He had never done these things before. Today, he was left alone in charge. He wanted to refuse, but knew that he really wouldn't accept this. In the event, it is impossible to continue to follow the little boy in the future.
After gritting his teeth, Xu Si finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't worry, young man, the younger one must get things done. The younger one will just think about it and look for pomegranate at that time."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say much. They turned around and left. It didn't matter if they lost money. They mainly wanted to see Xu Si's ability and adjust their positions.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and people got busy again. The firecrackers on the Wangjiazhuangzi were also sent to various places. The manpower has increased several times over the past few days, and a lot of work has been done. The person in charge of selling firecrackers is Song Jinggong.
On the same day, Cheng Lingxiang, the magistrate of the Yamen of Sanshui County, also took a group of people to prepare to welcome those who came down to check and verify the auspiciousness.
