Chapter 139: The Son of a Loser
"Don't worry if you are artificial, there are more than 50,000 or 60,000 people in Kunshan." Pan Jitao continued:
"It's mainly stone and cement. I haven't built this kind of embankment before, and the amount of use is not counted for a while, but of course the more the better. ”
Speaking of this, he suggested to Zhao Hao: "You still persuade Ling Zun to smash Yufeng Mountain, so that you can save a lot of money on stone and freight." ”
"No need, leave roots and seedlings for the people of Kunshan." Zhao Gongzi waved his hand arrogantly and said: "What we have is a stone, is it enough to open the entire West Mountain?" ”
"Nishiyama?" Pan Jitao was stunned. "Which West Mountain are you referring to?"
"Dongting West Mountain." Zhao Hao smiled and pointed to the direction of Taihu Lake on the drawing, and paddled his fingertips along the river to the position of Nanshan Temple and said: "If you drive down the stone, you can load it on the ship and transport it directly to the embankment, which is more trouble-free than opening Yufeng Mountain!" ”
Yufeng Mountain is in the county seat, and the stones have to be pulled out of the north gate by car and loaded on ships on the edge of the Loujiang River.
If you quarry from Xishan, although it is one hundred and fifty or sixty miles away from the county seat.
But in this day and age, the advantages of shipping are simply too great. Load the boat directly on the side of the west mountain, and then go down the river to reach the embankment in the morning.
It's not a lot of work.
"Dongting West Mountain, isn't that the territory of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce?" Pan Ji's family is on the shore of Taihu Lake, so he naturally knows everything about it.
"Seeing that the island was full of stones, I bought it." Zhao Hao seemed to be saying something, a trivial matter.
"Bought it, bought it?" Pan Jitao was dumbfounded: "How much did you buy?" ”
"Of course I bought them all." Seeing Lao Pan's unbelievable expression, Zhao Gongzi happily pretended to be Boyi and said: "It's all barren mountains and mountains, and I can't get a few dollars." ”
In fact, it didn't cost him money at all, it was bought by Liu Yuanwai and given to Zhao Gongzi to atone for his sins.
"Uh, okay......" Although Pan Jitao is from a big family, he also knows better how outrageous this is.
They usually call this kind of person a 'loser'!
However, Zhao Gongzi's defeat to support the construction of Kunshan seems to be more noble than that of ordinary losers.
"Zhao Gongzi really has a clear bone, admire and admire." Pan Jitao seemed to see Zhao Erye's father and son, and they would ask for food in the future.
Thinking of this, he patted Zhao Hao's shoulder and said softly: "There will really be a day when I can't live in the future, go to Wucheng to find me." ”
"Uh......" Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and couldn't help crying and laughing. Is it okay for this son to make money very seriously? Not a loser at all!
However, Lao Pan was also kind, so Zhao Gongzi nodded with a smile and said, "There will be a chance." ”
In any case, Pan Jitao was finally relieved, at least it would not be a problem to repair this embankment.
~~
In the afternoon of the same day, Pan Jitao, the 'master of water control', called Zheng Ruozeng, the 'map maniac', and seized the time to check the drawings for the last field trip.
The two also wanted to call Zhao Hao together, but unfortunately Zhao Gongzi didn't have the courage to go out under the scorching sun, so he stayed in Nanshan Temple to take a nap.
It's a pity that he is destined to not be able to sleep today, and just about to lie down, Gao Wuyu reported that Gu Dadong came to visit.
"He's going to pick the time." Zhao Gongzi muttered depressedly. However, the other party is the patriarch of the largest clan in Kunshan, and it is not good to be too lazy, otherwise it will be difficult for the father to do it.
I simply cleaned up and went to the incense room to see Gu Dadong.
The Gu family is the undisputed first clan in Kunshan, with more than 3,000 houses in the family, stretching for more than ten miles, and occupying one-eighth of the county's cultivated land, with tens of thousands of clansmen.
Gu Dadong is about the same age as Pan Jitao, but he looks more than ten years younger than him, and he obviously pays attention to maintenance.
is different from Pan Shuishen, who has a good life, this master spent money like dirt and changed his methods when he was young, and he was a complete loser.
Zhao Hao heard that once he was extremely bored, so he gathered all the guests together and told them that he had thought of a new trick to spend money. If you want to go down with chopsticks, you can cross out fifty yuan, but you won't eat so much that your stomach is full.
One of the helpers immediately got up and said, I can do it.
Gu Dadong then ordered the servant to pick up fifty yuan to go out with the man.
Three days later, the doorman came back to offer the treasure. Gu Dadong saw that he was just a little bird, and he angrily scolded the other party for treating himself as a Kaizi. Ask him what bird is worth the price?
The doorman explained that this was a yellow bird that won every fight, and he bargained with the seller for two days and two nights before he bought it at a price of more than 40 yuan.
The rest of the money was all for lamp grass, which he used to cook the bird and serve it, which cost exactly fifty yuan.
Gu Dadong laughed and ate it with chopsticks.
There is more than one paragraph about this old man's extravagance.
Legend has it that on another occasion, he bought tens of thousands of black bowls, put vegetable oil and lamp grass in the bowls, lit them and put them into the lake south of Yufeng Mountain.
On a dark moonlit night, he stood on the top of Yufeng Mountain, overlooking the lake with thousands of lights floating around. When the breeze passes, the bowls touch each other gently, making a jingling sound, like fairy music.
The people of Kunshan are empty of thousands of alleys, all come to enjoy this unforgettable spectacle.
The citizens gave Yufeng Mountain a nickname of 'Wanshan', and called the lake dang where Gu Dashao put the lights 'Wanshandang'.
Zhao Hao also heard that because of his extravagance, he consumed most of his property, and he was worried that his father, who was an official outside, would come back to clean himself up.
So a 'report tower' was built, and the cost of building the tower was very expensive as an excuse to perfunctory deficit. And place a stone basin on the top of the tower, raise a seven-star snakehead fish in the basin, and lie that it can worship the Beidou and pray for his father.
When his old man came back, he saw that his family was about to be ruined, and he was so angry that he fell seriously ill. Later, I finally picked up a life, and I believed that it was the role of this one, so I didn't blame him anymore......
~~
"Outside the staff, look up for a long time." The so-called not afraid of not knowing the goods, afraid of comparing goods, Zhao Hao feels that compared to this master, his father is simply a sensible baby.
"The son is too angry, and the outside is also divided. If I don't dislike you, what if my brother is commensurate? Gu Dadong sat down with a smile and put a steaming ice bucket on the table.
"What is this that Brother Gu brought?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but be curious, seeing this thing in June, it was inevitable that people would be full of interest.
"The ancestral cold drink brings a little heat to the son." Gu Dadong opened the ice bucket with a smile and took out a glass bowl from it.
Looking at the milky yellow paste-like cold drink bubbling from the bowl, Zhao Hao couldn't help but be surprised: "Ice cream?!" ”
"Oh, is there another name for this mountain?" Gu Dadong asked strangely.
"It is said that Tessie called this name, and a man surnamed Ma in the Yuan Dynasty passed it from us." Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Taste it." Gu Dadong smiled and handed him a bowl, and attached a silver spoon.
Zhao Hao scooped a spoonful and tasted it, it was really smooth and mellow, just like the kind of soft ice cream that had not hardened, which was much more delicious than his smoothie.
"Oh!" Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but praise, and suddenly felt that this old man was very cute.
Although Gu Dadong didn't know what '弔' meant, it was estimated that it should mean delicious. couldn't help but smile happily: "If the son likes it, go back and send the recipe to the county office, and let the subordinates do it for you to cool off." ”
"Right!" Zhao Hao gave a thumbs up, then asked with a smile: "Say, what do you want to do?" ”
