Summer is the season of weeds, as if it can inadvertently turn the desolate land green, as in the dirt slope not far from the dyeing mill. It's just that the grassy slope that was originally full of green was dug up with a pile of new soil at this time.

"Brother Lin, your two chickens were just killed, isn't it a pity to bury them?"

Zhao Dongcheng watched Lin Haoran smear the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves with a layer of thin mud, and it seemed that it was going to be put into the soil pit to be filled, and suddenly said with some regret.

Gu Qingfeng stood beside him and fanned the wind towards his neck, and looked at Lin Haoran in puzzlement.

Lin Haoran put the chicken smeared with a layer of thin mud into the pit, and said smugly: "For my sister's sake, I'll make you a meal called flower chicken today, so that you can feast on it!" ”

"What's it called a flower chicken?" Zhao Dongcheng turned his head to look at Gu Qingfeng, but Gu Qingfeng also shook his head suspiciously.

The flower chicken can be divided into economic version and luxury version, and the economic version is wrapped in lotus leaves and then sealed with mud. The deluxe version, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated, requiring it to be soaked in rice wine and then stuffed with ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms.

Lin Haoran is a person who pursues perfection, so he chose the deluxe version.

There are two different theories about the origin of the flower chicken, and now looking at the reactions of the two, he feels that the flower chicken should be the first of his time, and he is suddenly more confident.

After putting the two wrapped chickens into the pit, he made another firewood, and he only had to wait for half an hour before he could enjoy them.

"Brother Lin, do you want me to do the cloth you dyed on your behalf and help you develop the market in western Guangdong?" Gu Qingfeng hesitated for a long time before he came over with a smile, it turned out that he had the idea of those cloths.

The textile level in western Guangdong is a little worse than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a whole, but in fact, it is not too much worse, and the key is still in the printing and dyeing process. Now after seeing Lin Haoran's hand, he is quite confident in these cloths, and there is no problem at all in winning the market in western Guangdong with these cloths.

Lin Haoran glanced at him lightly, and said unhurriedly: "I'm afraid it's too late, I've already negotiated with Shen Liuye!" ”

"Sixth Master Shen of Dianbai? When was this? Gu Qingfeng immediately asked in surprise.

Lin Haoran threw a piece of firewood into the fire, gave him a blank look, and said, "I planned to do a dyeing business last month, do you think I will wait for the dyeing workshop to be built, and then look for a market?" ”

In the last month, he had already made a sample and asked people to go to Dianbai.

After Shen Liujin saw the sample, he immediately asked for a thousand pieces of cloth, but he didn't know whether he was bold, or remembered Lin Haoran's last friendship, or whether he was selling the face of the first person in the government trial case.

"Shen Liuye is making raw silk and cotton, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, right?" Gu Qingfeng wiped his nose and looked at him hopefully and said.

Lin Haoran threw another piece of firewood into the fire, and said with a blow: "It is true that this used to mainly sell raw silk and cotton, but I'm afraid you also know the reason, because he can't find a suitable source of goods in western Guangdong, and there is no cost advantage in purchasing goods from Guangzhou Mansion!" ”

Gu Qingfeng's hopes were dashed, and he sighed helplessly, knowing that this was indeed the truth. With these good-quality fabrics, I am afraid that Shen Liuye will wake up happy to wake up with a smile in his dreams, how could he refuse to cooperate with Lin Haoran?

Compared with the market in western Guangdong, those Franc machine people do have more purchasing power, and the goods they want are in large quantities. Especially after the arrival of Haojing, the ships of the Francois people continued to come and go, and although Dianbai Port was not the most prosperous trading port, there were always some foreign merchants who took the initiative to come to the door.

Now that Lin Haoran has good cloth, and Shen Liuye is the largest trader in Dianbaigang, both parties are undoubtedly the best collaborators, able to make considerable profits from foreign merchants.

Lin Haoran clapped his hands and stood up, and said to him: "Don't fight the idea of the cloth market, as long as you do a good job in the dye market, you can also live a very prosperous life." ”

Gu Qingfeng has been busy with dyes recently, and has opened up sales channels in Guangzhou Mansion, and now there is Lin Haoran as a purchaser, this step can be said to be the right one, and even his father Gu Mancang is impressed by him.

"That's a good thing, but aren't I worrying about you?" Gu Qingfeng put away the fan and said with a smile.

Lin Haoran glanced at the dyeing mill and said seriously: "Now the cloth business is just a small fight, there will be a bigger deal in the future, if you are interested, we can cooperate!" ”

"Then I'm waiting for good news!" Gu Qingfeng looked at him and said seriously.

Zhao Dongcheng had been listening to the conversation between the two, but he was not interested in business, and after watching the two talk, he asked Lin Haoran: "Senior brother, the hospital exam is going to be in July, I don't know when you will leave?" ”

"In late June, I will send the freight to Dianbai, and then I will go to Gaozhou Mansion to take the exam, if you are interested, you can go together!" Lin Haoran pointed to the side of the cloth dyeing workshop and said his plan.

Although with his IQ, it seems that it is not difficult to be a small landowner. It's just that with his understanding of this era, he knows that the imperial examination is the right way, otherwise even if he has thousands of family fortunes, it may be wiped out overnight.

What's more, the hospital test is related to the gambling contract, which is even more inmissible.

"Senior brother, I want to go over and review my homework earlier, and I'll wait for you in Gaozhou Mansion then!" Zhao Dongcheng said with humility.

Lin Haoran waved his hand, not reluctantly: "That's fine, we'll see you in Gaozhou Mansion then!" ”

Gu Qingfeng listened to this topic, but looked at the two of them with resentment.

The third success of the last government exam failed, so this time the hospital exam has nothing to do with him. It is impossible to say that they are not envious, because these two are likely to become showmen and obtain the qualification to participate in the township examination next year, and even win the township examination next year.

The three of them sat on the grassy slope, chatting without saying a word.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Lin Haoran opened the fire, and two black charcoal-like things appeared. Carefully pulled out of the fire, then lifted with two sticks and dropped to the ground, the mud cracked open, revealing the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

The earth is just broken, and a rich smell of chicken fills the air, which is mouth-watering.

"It smells so good!"

When Zhao Dongcheng smelled the fragrance, he drooled and sighed.

"Why does it smell so good?"

Gu Qingfeng's eyes also fell on the chicken, and saliva also flowed out.

Click......

But at this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the entrance of the village, and the two turned their heads to look, it was Jiang Ronghua who patted the horse and rushed here, so that the two couldn't help but be happy, this goods finally appeared.

It just made the two of them very puzzled, looking at his anxious and gritted teeth, it seemed that something terrible had happened, could it be that his father had died?
