Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 896: The new dish is delicious and Mo Yanchou (1)

Views:

Fang Liuer came to Xingqing Palace the next day. Yesterday he went to Wannian County to arrange the spring clothing fair, but he didn't rush back.

Apart from Zhang Zhong, the ministers whom Li Longji found had never seen Fang Liu'er. Even Zhang Jiuling had only seen her portrait, which was given to him by his silly old butler.

Fang Liuer nowadays can no longer find the thin and pitiful appearance that he had when he fled. She has become a slim big girl, wearing a light yellow long skirt with diagonal open front, and her exposed half of her calf is covered by a pair of light blue leather boots. Tucked away, only a large butterfly clip is attached to the top of the loose hair. The slightly raised eyelashes occasionally blink, giving a feeling of tranquility and dignity, but there is a string of bells on the wrist, which makes a jingle when it moves. The sound was a little more lively.

Two different styles appeared on one person, and the visual impact was very big, which made the ministers including Li Longji stunned.

"Fang Liuer, the deacon of the Zhang family in Sanshui Tuqiao Village, has met your Majesty and you all, sir, sir, spring is here, the grass and green flowers bloom, it is suitable to wear a spring dress with Yunyun, your Majesty and you adults, please take a look."

Fang Liuer generously saluted Li Longji and several ministers. The title of the lord was naturally addressed to Zhang Zhong. After speaking, he walked in front of everyone, not turning around or posing. The skirt she was wearing was shown to others.

"It's really beautiful. Let me order a few sets later. Okay, Fang Liuer, you don't need to continue advertising, you are really dedicated. Even if you see me, you don't forget to promote your spring clothes."

Li Longji watched for a while, and suddenly realized that he was not looking for Fang Liuer to buy clothes, but to discuss important matters, so he hurriedly stopped Fang Liuer's costume performance.

"Oh, okay, your majesty buys it with a 20% discount." Fang Liuer stopped, standing there and did not forget to give Li Longji a discount.

Yuan Qianyao took the conversation and asked Fang Liuer: "Fang Liuer, I wonder if you have discovered that the price of garlic has increased recently?"

Fang Liuer nodded: "I found it, and as soon as the price increased, I asked someone to collect a lot of garlic from other places and told Uncle Song, so now Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha Restaurant do not lack garlic. It has been used until the new garlic comes down, and the Haiyunjian restaurant in Luzhou has no effect temporarily."

Yuan Qianyao’s mouth moved, and I don’t know what to say. Du Siam, who was standing next to him, stood up and asked: "Fang Liuer, since you have found out, why don’t you tell me to wait? Just tell your Lord Home? Do you know how serious your sin is?"

"Ah? Tell you, tell you what to do. I am the deacon of the Zhang family, not the deacon of the imperial court. I will tell you now that children have a lot of runny noses in spring. We made a special dress for this. It’s filled with paper towels. When adults see the child’s nasal mucus, they can find paper towels to wipe them anytime and anywhere. It will be all the rage, this adult, what are you going to do?"

Fang Liuer looked at Du Siam in confusion, gestured a few times, and recommended a new product.

"Uh!" Du Xian was asked for a moment. He said that my children don't use this kind of clothes anymore. What's the use of telling me? Then he asked, "Tell me about this, it's useless."

"Then let me tell you, now in Gyeonggi Province and the surrounding areas, the river is thawed in spring, and there would be more fish, but the price will still be expensive, because many people are tired of eating other meats in winter, and eating fish is just a good taste. It is estimated that within a month, the fish will be selling well. If you want to make money, collect more as early as possible and send someone to catch it."

Fang Liuer told Du Siam one more thing.

After hearing this, Du Siam replied: "This matter has nothing to do with me."

"Well, because the Yellow River has been civilized, there are many places where transportation is difficult, and most of the consumables are almost used. We need to prepare some as soon as possible. When the first transportation fleet to pass, You can make a lot of money if you send it in the past."

Fang Liuer continued to advise Du Siam.

The others, plus Li Longji's eyes lit up after listening to them, and the total in their hearts is indeed as Fang Liuer said. If you really follow her proposal, you will definitely make money, and there will be no empty seats under the reputation , The think tank behind the top ranking list is really powerful, and there is hope of making money by just saying an idea.

Don't say anything, Du Siam was really tempted. He suddenly reacted. Now that the garlic matter has nothing to do with other things, he immediately asked: "It has something to do with me? Ask you about garlic."

Fang Liuer glanced at Du Siam. "Now telling you about this, you think it’s okay. When the price of garlic increased, I told you about garlic. What can you do? You would say that garlic has nothing to do with you, anyway. Can't eat much garlic.

You are called the Lord to discuss matters, so the matters discussed are the most important, the Lord did not mention it, so it has nothing to do with yourself, but the world’s affairs are unpredictable, the Lord is difficult to understand, and the ministers should deal with it first. It is intangible. It is not until the rain that the Lord asks to know the sky is overcast, and it is not the Lord to think that the river is blocked by the water.

It has nothing to do with what you said about opening the river to transport goods. If I want to move and transfer the two riverboats of the king and the riverboats can not be delivered, then the price of goods will rise up and down the Yellow River. Does it have anything to do with you? "

Fang Liuer said that the louder the voice, Du Xian kept retreating, his face flushed when he was reprimanded, especially Fang Liuer's last talk about the transfer of the king's two ships to suppress cargo, which shocked him. , If you really want to do that, it will have a greater impact than Wind Logistics.

Seeing that Du Siam was questioned, Yu Wenrong coughed and said: "Fang Xiaomao is really extraordinary. The Zhang family really focuses on the people's livelihood. They have never moved their minds at all. Otherwise, I will be Datang There will definitely be chaos. I have long heard that Fang Xiaomao is young and intelligent, and she is familiar with astronomy and geography, and it is even more important that the Zhang family and the two families value training.

Master Du was also anxious. His words were offensive. Please don’t blame it. However, at this moment, the price of garlic will increase. Your Majesty will not stop it. Afterwards, other things will continue to increase. Does the lady have any ideas? "

Du Xian glanced at Yu Wenrong gratefully and wiped the sweat from his forehead secretly. Only then did he remember that Fang Liuer was not an ordinary woman. She was taken care of by Zhang Wang's family since she was a child. She is not less knowledgeable than herself. It is said that she has never forgotten her mind, and she is good at calculating. No one can speak for herself anymore. When she finishes speaking, it is estimated that she will have to apologize to Your Majesty.

Zhang Zhong smiled at the side, Liu Er was satisfied, and thought "That's right, let them think that they are officials, dare to scare my Zhang family, hum, how can my Zhang family be a deacon? How simple?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong said to Liu'er, "Liu'er, since your Majesty has come to ask you, if you have a way, you can talk about it. You can't let the people who work on my people be proud."

Fang Liuer respected Zhang Zhong more than Li Longji. Without Zhang Wang and his family, he would not have the current self. Even if he did not starve to death, he would not be able to live his current life. When Zhang Zhong spoke, he respectfully saluted , Said:

"I know that Fengzhi Logistics is doing things. It uses logistics compensation as a guide. The accumulation of goods is not available. The March compensation cycle is revived. I have read the copy of the contract. It says three times the compensation, but it does not say that the compensation is three times Money.

It can be said to be attackable and defensive. In less than three months, the new garlic will come down. If the price of garlic is high, they will ship it in advance, and then buy cheap new garlic and pay others, such as when the time comes. The price of garlic is still high, and they will use money to compensate. I guess the price of garlic must be too high in the end, and they lose money. In this way, they can get a lot of benefits from it.

No matter what I do, the result must be that they profit from it. Unless it is the idea of letting the merchants who see the "benefits" stop accumulating money and beating garlic, the people will definitely suffer. "

"Can't you stop them?" Gao Lishi asked with a frown.

Fang Liuer was silent for a while, lowered her head and thought, other people's eyes were on her, hoping that she could come up with a good solution. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and I still want to suppress it. If you don’t press down, you don’t have to worry about it, but everyone is gradually becoming more concerned about economic matters.

After a while, Fang Liu'er raised his head and said helplessly: "I can only let them stabilize the price at the current level. When the new garlic comes down, they can still make money by buying garlic, but as for making them lose money. ,I can not do it."

When the ministers heard this, their expressions of regret appeared. What they want to see most is the fact that the logistics of the wind will pay a lot of money after this incident. See if they dare to do it casually, but the first person on the list can't think of a way. , Let alone them.

Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi said, "What is the solution?"

"Ordered Datang Bank to reduce the proportion of mortgage charges for the goods, not to lend to Fengzhi Logistics, and to stop the arms control department from receiving sulfur in the near future. I investigated when the garlic price increased and their deposit was silver shipped from Japan. In exchange for sulfur, a lot of goods are still being sold today.

As long as the margin is insufficient, other merchants who want to get the benefits of compensation dare not let them continue to consign them, forcing them to slowly sell garlic now, and then buy new garlic to pay when the new garlic comes down. The profit is slightly less. "

Fang Liuer would mobilize the two main departments as soon as she spoke. This was the way she thought of.

Yu Wenrong pondered for a while and asked, "What if they use garlic, silver, and sulfur to make loan sharks in private?"

"The mortgage ratio of the bank changes, and people who lend privately will also bet on low prices, and sulfur will not dare to accept it. Garlic, who dares to give garlic too high a mortgage price? We can release the news to let other businessmen understand the wind. Insufficient logistics funds."

Fang Liuer replied.

"Then what if they would rather lower the price for loan sharking, and then collect garlic by themselves, thereby raising the price?" Yu Wenrong asked again.

Fang Liu'er smiled this time, "If they dare to collect garlic by themselves, I will let them die. Once they directly participate in this business, I have a way to deal with them, I'm afraid they won't reach out."

The ministers put aside the snacks a bit, and felt that it would be good to control the price of garlic to the current level. When the new garlic comes down, it will naturally fall back. As for how the other party will pay for the garlic directly, then don’t worry, I think Fang Liuer has the ability to do it. As far as she said.

Only Li Longji was unhappy. He didn't want the current price to be stable, but wanted to make Fengzhi Logistics suffer, so that he didn't dare to do it anymore.

So hopefully asked Fang Liuer, "Is there really no way to make them lose money?"

Fang Liu'er shook his head regretfully: "My Majesty, I can't think of a good way for the time being, but if you tell the young man, the young man will take action, then there is absolutely no problem."

"Hey... It seems that I still have to send a message to Xiaobao, I hope he is not so busy and has time to deal with this matter." Li Longji sighed and looked at Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi nodded and was about to send a telegram.

At this moment, the little eunuch Luo Bin rushed in and reported to Li Longjihui: "Your Majesty, the cooks in the Zhuangyuan Building suddenly came, just outside the palace, saying that they are going to cook for your Majesty. The leader is Master Ni is the head chef of the flagship store in Shuiyunjian in Tuqiao Village, Sanshui County."

Li Longji looked up at the sky. It was early before noon. What kind of food would he come over at this time? Look at Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhongmang, however, is right. He doesn't know what the cook in the champion building is doing. Then when Master Ni is not in the champion building, when did he come back

Seeing Zhang Zhong's eyes, Li Longji knew that he didn't know, so he asked, "Who asked them to come?"

"They said it was Zhang Jedu's messenger, and they said they could solve your majesty's worries." Luo Bin replied.

"People from the Little Treasure School? To solve my worries? I want to deal with the logistics of the wind now. Is it possible that I will know the way after eating? Go, bring people to the imperial kitchen."

Li Longji didn't know what medicine Zhang Xiaobao sold in the gourd, but he still agreed.

"Your Majesty, someone said to do it in front of you in Xingqing Palace." Luo Bin said again.

"Then bring them to Xingqing Palace. Can they bring tools and materials?" Li Longji agreed to Zhang Xiaobao.

"I didn't bring it, saying that I let the imperial kitchen go out, I'll make arrangements." Luo Bin didn't need the emperor to order to go to the imperial kitchen again, he hurriedly came and left.

I waited for about two quarters of an hour. During this time, Li Longji had been talking to Fang Liuer, asking her what she should pay attention to during the spring season, what kind of goods have a large price fluctuation, and whether they need to be suppressed, and preparations for the clothing fair. What's the quality of the clothes, what's so strange about the clothes for the children, etc. etc.

Fang Liuer responded fluently and emphasized that the most prone to problems is logistics, so that the emperor doesn’t have to worry about it. The Zhang and Wang family will make corresponding adjustments to the necessities of life. As long as others do not specifically speculate on a certain item, follow the rules of the times. , Without the Zhang and Wang family taking action, the fluctuation range of prices will naturally remain within a certain range.

Even if someone takes the shot and does not operate on the essentials, you don’t have to worry about it, such as canned food, drinks, of course, except for the condiment like garlic, which is non-essential, but many people like to eat it. As for the price of a certain kind of meat, Don't worry, you can eat other things if you don't eat this kind.

Li Longji and the ministers listened, and then realized that Datang still has many dangerous aspects. It seems to be stable, but in fact it has been changing, but the range of changes is within an acceptable range. If you want to control it, the only thing is The approach is to follow the trend and adjust from the side.

Li Longji felt a lot of emotion in his heart, "In this era of technological explosion, the country is the most unstable period, if it weren't for the Zhang Wang family to get stuck with daily necessities, such as salt, tea, oil, cloth, rice noodles, medicine, etc. At the price of this, there will surely be merchants who will take the opportunity to get a lot of benefits.

At that time, people from the clan, and people from various families will also stretch their hands, waiting to find that something is wrong, and if they want to stop them, they will not be able to kill them, and the throne may not be as stable as it is now.

It seems that only waiting for more people to learn about technology, more children to grow up, are less susceptible to being deceived, and after this period of outbreak and stabilize, can they not have to worry about controlling Zhang Wang and his family.

If it weren’t for the garlic incident, I didn’t really think about it. When Datang had reached such a critical moment, the Zhang and Wang family would have done so silently, without making waves. Perhaps this is true love without borders, it’s not right. You Jiang, they are only loyal to Datang. "

When Li Longji was thinking about things, the other people were silent with their own minds. It was not until Master Ni brought the chef team to Xingqing Palace that everyone became active again.

Various cooking tools and ingredients were delivered at the same time. Master Ni and the others obviously changed their clothes. They should have taken a bath. One was clean, and the other was afraid that someone would carry poison with them.

The ministers also understood that the reason the other party didn't bring anything was because they were afraid that it would be cumbersome to check.

Zhang Zhong stood up at this time, nodded to the cooks of his own house, and did not stand back. It seemed that he planned to wait for each dish to be prepared before he tasted it first, so there was no need to test the poison. The cooks of his house could not Poison him.

Master Ni didn’t talk a lot. He started to organize manpower when he came to pay the salute. The knife was responsible for changing the knife, the side dish was in charge of the side dish, and the spoon was also standing in front of the stove. Gonghao took out a set of knives and prepared to carve.

Li Longji was looking forward to the taste of the dishes prepared by the people sent by Zhang Xiaobao. The other ministers also had their eyes bright. They understood that the chef in front of him represented the top cooking skills of Chef Shuiyunjian.

Normally, even if you go to Shuiyunjian and Bihaiyinsha, you can't eat it. Now you don't need to eat it. Just looking at the lineup is an honor.

The team led by Master Ni will naturally not allow the emperor to wait for half an hour without serving the food, let alone serving it to the emperor, even in the usual Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha, it is impossible for guests to wait for a quarter of an hour. The rule is that every moment. If the dish that you ordered in the middle is not served, it will be served for free. If you wait for someone else to finish the meal and have not served it, then you have to deduct a small amount of money from the dish. Only in this way can it reflect the harmony between the water and the cloud Bihai Yinsha is different.

Therefore, the emperor had to eat faster. As soon as the oil in the palm of the hand was in the pot, the two plates were served first.

The ice shrimp in ginger sauce, except for the simple shredded ginger, is ice shrimp. There is no vinegar, no soy sauce and other messy things.

Since all the ingredients are taken from the Imperial Kitchen, this dish does not have any special taste. The iced shrimp is still iced shrimp, and the ginger is still ginger. Li Longji didn't eat it. He can eat it anytime he wants to eat such a dish.

The second cold plate is clams mixed with green onions, with only a little oyster sauce sprinkled on top, the third cold plate, cucumber peeled with scallion oil, topped with sesame sauce, and the fourth cold plate is shredded chicken with ginger sauce and only slightly shredded ginger. Stir-fry with a few other seasonings, the chicken is originally cooked.

As soon as the four cold plates came up, the first hot dish followed. Chicken slices with scallion oil, green onions, bean sprouts, chicken and other ingredients.

Only then did Li Longji pick up the chopsticks, and didn't wait for Zhang Zhong to taste it first. He grabbed a chopstick and ate it. As soon as the dish was eaten, he nodded slightly. It turned out to be fresh, and with the addition of scallion oil, it was very appetizing to eat, so the officials tasted it."

When the officials saw the emperor directly took a bite, they couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhong. The meaning inside was self-evident. How much face can the emperor eat without letting people try the poison? Although it is impossible for the cooks to carry poison on their bodies, it is also possible to create poison by the mutual restraint of things.

Who knew that someone wanted to send a dish to the emperor, and it would become cold when it was eaten hot in the emperor’s mouth? It seems that apart from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who came over to make things in person, no emperor ever moved his chopsticks. Now Zhang Zhong is the second person to do so.

Zhang Zhong was also very excited, and followed the second one with a chopstick head and stuffed it in his mouth vigorously, no matter whether it was delicious or not, he swallowed as fast as he could.

Others also came over to taste them one by one. Fortunately, not many people were found by Li Longji, and one bite was enough.

Waiting for a plate of chicken slices with scallion oil to be eaten up, the second dish of braised mackerel with scallion and ginger is also served, and then the third dish of shredded pork with sweet noodle sauce is also immediately set up. In fact, it is shredded pork with Beijing sauce, but not so far. Call.

From then on, one dish was served one after another. Some dishes that took a long time were also cooked, and they could be served later. When the tenth dish was eaten, a box filled with green onions, beef and pork was used as The staple food was also brought in front of Li Longji.

Li Longji tasted two bites of each dish and didn't eat too much. He was afraid that he would not be able to eat the dishes he made when he was full. He waited for two boxes and drank some wine after eating two boxes. Ji Zhongchen finally found the problem.

In all the dishes, whether it is the main ingredient or the auxiliary ingredient, there is no garlic, there are onions, ginger, cloves, even flowers, and spices, but there is no bit of garlic, but the taste is not affected. On the contrary, people think that garlic should not be added, otherwise the taste will deteriorate.

When the last dish of ginger crab meat came up, Master Ni bowed to Li Longji and said: "Your Majesty, the little boy sent me a telegram asking me to wait and cook for your Majesty. He also said that these dishes will not serve as Shuiyunjian. It is estimated that the secret dishes of He Bihai Yinsha have been transmitted to various places in Datang by telegram at this time, and they have been sent to restaurants and restaurants.

In addition, the north face is warm and cold in the spring. The Deyi Medical College has already developed supplements, which will be sent to various places in the north. It is only heard that those supplements cannot be eaten with garlic. Please remember when you eat them. "

"Oh, okay, don't eat garlic, so don't eat garlic." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and agreed again and again. If he didn't know Zhang Xiaobao's method, he would be a fool.

"A good way, as long as others don’t eat garlic and like to eat other things, the price of garlic will not rise, especially since these dishes are taught by Shuiyunjian and Bihaiyinsha. They will definitely become popular. , Little Treasure's strategy is really extraordinary."

Zhang Jiuling immediately felt that the dishes he had eaten just now were extremely delicious, and praised it.

Yu Wenrong also nodded: "Yes, there is no way to use the logistics of the wind, unless they also have a sign like Shuiyunjian, and there must be a Deyi Medical College."

"A trick, is it a trick?" Li Longji asked suspiciously. He knew Zhang Xiaobao very well. It was not just a clash that he lost. He who was familiar with Zhang Xiaobao's style of action didn't think Zhang Xiaobao only thought of this.

Gao Lishi interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the son of the minister, oh, the son of the minister would not be so simple. Xiaobao has always been a chain of tricks. The logistics of this downwind is troublesome, but I don't know that this matter has just arisen. How did Xiaobao find out? Xiaobao seemed to be accompanying Mo Jilian when he arrived in Sanshui County."

Collis has already treated Zhang Xiaobao as his own son. He habitually exports and finds that his father is still there, so he has to change his words, but is equally happy. The son is also a son. He will die in the future and he will also have to die.

Zhang Zhong had a faint taste in his heart, his own good son had to be recognized as a godson by others, and he always felt that he had lost it. He was a fairy son, and Gao Lishi was not afraid of losing his life.

A little angrily said: "Since Little Treasure has a plan, I don't know if he told me to be a father earlier, it would be outrageous to tell your Majesty to know it earlier."

No one else answered him. Don't look at what he said. He is Zhang Xiaobao's father, and others would easily let Zhang Xiaobao know about it.

Master Ni explained at this time: "Please forgive me, Master. The news from the young man last night, I have been busy thinking about how to arrange the dishes, so I didn't have time to tell the master that I also rushed back from Wannian County overnight. , The young man should have another plan to tell others that it is being implemented.

As for how the young man knew about garlic, the news stated that the young man arrived in Sanshui County and asked the county magistrate casually. He found that the price of garlic had risen and found that something was wrong. This allowed people to investigate overnight and use the fastest speed to make decisions. I was delayed in making a plan, and it had nothing to do with the little son. "

"You are so loyal, isn't it because your family was too honest and bullied by others, and then Xiaobao found you as a chef and helped you solve the trouble. He said to you:'You can't do this kind of calculation, you can cook. I can't, I'll leave it to you if Shuiyunjian succeeds'? You know to cover him."

Zhang Zhong said another thing about Master Ni, but his words were praised. Naturally, he didn't know that his son was buying people's hearts when he was studying the story, whose surname was Jiang, when he was on the front line of the Yangtze River defense.

When Master Ni heard the matter mentioned by the master, his eye circles immediately became red, and he lowered his head and said to Zhang Zhong: "Master, please rest assured, as long as I am in one day, the dishes of the Zhang Wang family restaurant are absolutely unique in Datang."

"Okay, okay, you two, master and servant, don't talk about household affairs. Xiaobao is really extraordinary. If you ask about the situation in Sanshui County, you can also find problems. I don't know if there are any strategies left. I will wait and see. ."

Li Longji prevented Zhang Zhong and Master Ni from continuing, and then said to Master Ni and others: "Okay, the dishes are good, better than my royal cook. Reward, Lishi, go and find out what is Xiaobao's plan behind. , I want to know."

Master Ni Xieen left, and Gao Lishi was also busy inquiring about things. He didn't need to ask others to ask, he directly sent a telegram to Zhang Xiaobao.

Fang Liuer didn't leave after eating. She blinked her eyes and thought vigorously, thinking about what else should be after this plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the pan. If she can figure it out, she will go further.

On the day Li Longji finished tasting the dishes made by Master Ni, all the restaurants and restaurants in the entire Tang Dynasty were able to receive telegrams. All the restaurants and restaurants knew about the new dishes. A lot of attention.

Especially in the areas affected by the price increase of garlic, I found that all the dishes do not need garlic. In addition to saving some garlic money, smart people faintly feel that the price increase of garlic has been affected by Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha. Resistance.

This is not a trivial matter. Behind Shuiyunjian are the two families of King Zhang in Sanshui County, the chief and deputy Jiedu envoys of Bohai, and the ministers of the Ministry of Industry. They have acted. Doesn't it mean that the sages of today have also acquiesced in approval? This thing

So these smart people immediately followed the steps of Shuiyunjian and started cooking. The dishes made at noon that day made them happy again. Many people who came to eat after eating new dishes said yes, one is novel, the other It's not bad indeed. Who says that you have to have garlic to cook.

The two and three Fengqiao Zheng also tasted new dishes on the fifth floor of the Shuiyunjian Restaurant at noon that day. The guy especially introduced the new dishes when no garlic was needed. Fengqiao was stunned, and Yamamoto and Shansi were dumb.

"It’s over, I’ll just say it’s impossible. It’s only a few days before Zhang Xiaobao knows, Feng Qiao, hurry up, sell the garlic, sell it now, and when the new garlic comes down, buy it and pay for it. We can make less for others."

After being in a daze for a while, Yamamoto turned pale and persuaded Fengqiao Masuji who was still there.

Shansi's complexion is also not good. It is not the first time that he and Yamamoto have fought against Zhang Xiaobao, but every time they fought, their side will suffer losses. There are also people from Silla. Just look at the chamber of commerce that was locked up under Changnyeong. Encountering Zhang Xiaobao was absolutely no good.

Fengqiao Masuji was stunned for a while, looked at Yamamoto and Yamaji, and asked: "Zhang Xiaobao is so careless about the price increase of garlic? Is he specifically targeting merchants? As long as the merchant finds something profitable, he will definitely stop it. ?"

"No, absolutely not." Yamamoto shook his head.

"He doesn't care about normal commercial affairs, but he opposes any fraudulent commercial activities, especially those that affect people's livelihood. As for other aspects, he ignores who can make money, but... Those who do things like food, silk, medicine, oil, etc., will definitely persuade them. If the persuasion fails, it will be thunderous methods immediately."

"Then we, he didn't persuade." Fengqiao Masanori started to care about it.

"Because we are not from Datang, the thing he dislikes most is that people from other countries around Datang come to ask for trouble. It is said that he is busy all day long and is unwilling to spend energy on this aspect, so if he encounters it, he Will be very tough to let others know what can and cannot be done.

Oh, I heard that he also has a special training class. He personally taught that even if they can’t meet, there will be letters and letters. Those people should still be studying. When he learns his skills, he can let go. I Mr. Yushansi also signed up at the beginning, and spent a lot of registration fees.

As a result, I learned that Zhang Xiaobao would only teach people who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Before he taught, there was a test. Shansi and I did not expect that it would be arranged by him. As a result, they were all eliminated. "

Yamamoto said to Kazehashi, thinking of what happened back then, very annoyed.

"What test?" Kazebashi wondered, but Yamamoto hadn't told him this.

"It's a loyalty test. Some people will be found by others, saying that it is arranged for his family to another place, and it will give him a lot of benefits. As long as he finishes his studies, he quietly writes about the less important knowledge. Come down to others, and all those who promised are eliminated."

Yamamoto introduced one, and Shan Temple followed: "There is also someone from a prince who asked him to be a senior official, but he must help the prince to do three things. The prince guarantees the safety of him and his family. , The result was promised or eliminated.

Another threat is to tell the person who wants to learn that what he has learned must be written down. If he does not do it, he and his family will be hurt. The person who is afraid is eliminated. As a result, they regretfully know that they can learn anything. The family members are all protected by the people from Wanqi Camp, so there is no worries about the future. "

Feng Qiao Zhenger understood, and asked the two Yamamoto suspiciously, "What about you? How did you get eliminated?"

"We?" Yamamoto and Shansi looked at each other and sighed: "Hey, we were found by the people of Silla. They said they were also learning. Maybe everyone learns differently. Then we will tell each other and learn from each other. Shansi was right to think about it, and try not to tell the people of Silla about good knowledge. The result...you will know."

"Oh..." Feng Qiao Zhenger understood, and suddenly came and asked with interest: "Then think of a way for me. I will learn, and I will definitely pass the test."

"If it's too late, I will recruit one world. The next world doesn't know when to recruit again. It's better to think about the current situation. Garlic is probably not easy to sell."

Yamamoto started to worry again.

Feng Qiao Zhengji also returned to reality. He looked down at the dishes on the table and worked hard to find a way. He didn't believe that he would lose. He would lose so fast, so simple. A few dishes between Shuiyun and Yun made his own plan. If it fails, there must be other ways.

Yamamoto and Yamaji also wanted to help, but when they considered that their opponent was Zhang Xiaobao, their heads were messed up. In their hearts, Zhang Xiaobao was invincible. Good results.

He is no longer in contact with him now, but he still finds it. As long as more people approve of the other seasonings, the garlic will not continue to sell at high prices.

Fengqiao Masanori was like a born calf, full of fighting spirit. He thought about it for a quarter of an hour without admitting defeat. With his mouth turned up, he confidently asked Yamamoto and Yamaji: "Do you think garlic is really bad?"

"Of course not. Garlic and meat are still delicious, but we understand that it's useless. Many restaurants don't cook vegetables with garlic anymore. It's useless for those who eat. I know that. Economics. The power of the trend in China is also the role of the brand. Zhang Xiaobao has water and clouds, that is enough."

Yamamoto shook his head, but still had nothing to do. Shansi was heartened, "Mr. Fengqiao, don’t you understand? Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t want to use administrative means to deal with us, otherwise we’ll be over, such as ordering Datang Bank not to give us loans, such as Let the officials scrutinize the hoarding.

Hurry up and let go, otherwise it's too late, Zhang Xiaobao, you don't understand, now it is pressure by diet, and there will be other methods right away. Really, I didn't lie to you. "

Just as he said, the guy knocked on the door and entered, "Three, our shop launched a very cheap nourishing medicated diet during the spring season. We chose medicinal materials that looked commonly available and combined with special techniques. The three of you will try it, but remember not to eat it with garlic."

After he finished speaking, he left the gift of medicated food and left. Yamamoto pointed to medicated food with a trembling hand, and said to Fengqiao, "Kun Fengqiao, have you seen it? Zhang Xiaobao’s second hand came out. I don’t think it will take long. These dishes and medicated diets will be introduced into the homes of ordinary people. Just now, the guy said, the medicinal materials are easy to find, which means they are not expensive."

Feng Qiao Zhenger's expression became serious. He felt that he finally met an opponent, and that was Zhang Xiaobao. As for whether Zhang Xiaobao regarded him as an opponent, he didn't consider it.

He picked up the chopsticks and tasted the medicated food. He didn't know whether it tasted good, really good, or psychological effect, anyway, he agreed with it.

Swallow the things and put away the chopsticks, Fengqiao Masanori said to the two Yamamotos: "It is impossible for Tang to not eat garlic forever, even for a few months. The current ones are all fake. Zhang Xiaobao deliberately used this to force them. We, want us to sell garlic in advance.

But I definitely can’t sell it. I’ll pay if I sell it. Don’t just think about the triple compensation and the current garlic price. The price of the goods when we mortgaged is not the real price, whether it’s a Datang bank or a private loan. , Our silver and sulfur can only get two-thirds of the money.

In addition to our hiring money and... and public relations money, we sell now. For every catty of garlic sold, we will lose two taels of garlic. We are here to make money, not to lose money. "

Shansi nodded vigorously, expressing his understanding, "Kun Fengqiao, I understand, but if we don't sell it, we won't lose two taels of garlic."

"Then don't sell it, continue to find a way to find someone to mortgage the silver and sulfur, and also collect garlic, and five times the loss compensation, but the compensation cycle has become half a year, and let those merchants see our silver and sulfur.
