Chapter 9: It's hard to get to the sky
The birthday banquet in Jiangfu is held for three days, so the best time to trade is on these days.
In fact, not only the large group of guests who were invited, but also the entire village of Jiangcun ate in Jiangfu, plus the people of Jiangfu, not to mention that there were 200 mouths.
Now the prey sent by Lin Haoran is simply timely rain, so it can be sold for a price. Lin Haoran also took a fancy to this, so he turned into a second dealer, and he had already told Hu Da the truth, hoping that he could seize these opportunities to hunt more prey.
On the last day of the birthday banquet, Hu Da lived up to expectations and waited by the bluestone early.
When he saw Lin Haoran coming, he showed his big yellow teeth, and when he took the bag of salt, he followed Lin Haoran and said to wait, and then went back to the forest and moved out a fat deer.
After these three exchanges of interests, Hu Da obviously increased his trust in Lin Haoran. Lin Haoran not only did not fool him, but also gave a fair price, and was definitely the best partner.
"Your deer can probably give you three catties of salt, or if you need anything, I can replace it with something else and bring it back for you!" Lin Haoran looked at the fat deer on the ground, and then looked up and said.
Hu Da showed a satisfied smile and said to him: "If it's convenient, please help me buy half a flower cloth and a kitchen knife, and replace the rest with salt!" ”
"No problem!" Lin Haoran agreed, and then called Ah Niu, and the deal was completed.
Ah Niu naturally knew the origin of the prey, but still didn't ask anything.
"You're too godly, aren't you? Today I hunted another mountain deer, I remember that there are no special hunters in your village! Steward Zhao asked directly, curious about the origin of his prey.
Lin Haoran arched his hand towards the house, and said loudly with a smile: "This is not the Hongfu of Old Lady Tuojiang, let our group of rookies hunt good things one after another!" ”
Steward Zhao laughed twice, naturally not believing this statement, but he didn't dare to deny it.
"Four taels? Steward Zhao, you're joking! Although it is true that this deer is not really an adult, it is a delicacy! Yo Yo Lu Ming, Eat Wild Ping, what a good meaning, don't you want the sons of your house to participate in the Lu Ming Banquet in the future? ”
On the price, the two sides once again had a serious disagreement. This time, it can't be all blamed on Steward Zhao's black heart, but the price code offered by Lin Haoran is indeed much higher than the market price.
Steward Zhao looked at him with complicated eyes, this is simply to the point, what the rich man eats is not the ingredients, but the good meaning represented by the ingredients, but he is still unwilling to be picky: "Your deer is not yet an adult, and there is no antler we want, this is already the real price!" ”
"Today is the old lady's birthday, and it's not a deer antler velvet to eat! If you miss such a good product, your master still doesn't know how sorry it is, I'm afraid that you will have to ask me back if you move out? Lin Haoran is fearless, and he has already seen that this deer can add color to the birthday banquet, and he definitely has to buy it here.
"Eight taels! …… It's too high, you wait a minute! In the end, Steward Zhao didn't dare to make up his mind, and turned to walk inside.
In a moment, he brought back a middle-aged man who looked like an old man, this is where he is smart, he does not leave others a reason to attack, so he can firmly occupy the position of the butler of the Jiang Mansion.
The man was dressed in a bright silk satin, over forty years old, with a white face and slightly dark lips, and he had the momentum of a master. Just glanced at the fat deer on the ground, and glanced at Lin Haoran again, and then said to Steward Zhao: "Give it to him!" ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Lin Haoran bowed his hand slightly, and his heart was finally settled. His actual psychological value is six taels, but because of this little insistence, he can really get two taels more, how not to make him happy?
The middle-aged man didn't have a smile on his face, but he didn't know if it was because of his personality or his consistent style in front of his subordinates, and he was about to return to the living room steadily, but he suddenly paused and asked Lin Haoran: "Are you the book...... Lin Haoran? ”
didn't know if he was a "nerd" in the back, so he took the words back, and then said Lin Haoran's name.
"Exactly, dare I ask you what you call it, have we ever met?" Lin Haoran gave up his hand, wondering that this person actually knew him.
"This is the third master of our house!" Steward Zhao introduced with some arrogance.
"Sure enough, I'm still dumbfounded!" The third master seemed to be talking to himself, and took a step to leave, but left a sentence: "I'm afraid you have enough money for this journey, you still have to go to the exam earlier, but he is waiting to test with you in the hospital again and again!" ”
Steward Zhao looked at Lin Haoran seriously, and his face showed a look of sudden realization.
Hey?
Lin Haoran immediately understood that his predecessor may have really intersected with the people of Jiangfu, and he may have met with this third master, and there seems to be a battle of will with this person called "Yuebai".
It's just that he tried to search in his mind, not only did he not have the slightest memory of the people of Jiangfu, but he also had no impression of the person named "Jiang Bai".
Forget it, anyway, after all these days of inquiry and observation, this Jiangfu is indeed not a great family of goodness, so it is better not to have anything to do with these people.
"Strange thing! This turned out to be the nerd in Changlin Village, why didn't I find out before? Steward Zhao looked at Lin Haoran's figure leaving, but he muttered.
The spring light is blowing in this quaint village, as if it is filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
sold the mountain deer and earned five taels of silver, which made him very loyal and down-to-earth.
No matter what era it is, money always brings warmth to people, and it can solve many things. For example, buying new clothes for the tiger girl, such as improving the housing conditions of the family, and for example, you can do some small business to make money.
After Lin Haoran came out of Jiangfu, he had a whim, and after separating from Ah Niu, he did not return directly to Changlin Village, but went to the west of Jiangcun.
He heard that there was a academy in the west of Jiangcun, and he decided to take advantage of this comfortable good weather to go over and have a look.
It is said that such a remote mountain village would definitely not have such a thing as a academy. But Jiangcun is indeed not comparable to ordinary villages, Jiangfu not only spent money to build a academy, but also invited famous teachers to teach.
Over the years, some Jiangcun children have successfully embarked on official careers, and the reputation of Qingshan Academy in the entire Huazhou capital has been greatly shaken, attracting many children from wealthy families to study, so that this academy is now full of vitality.
Lin Haoran studied at Castle Peak Academy back then, but this does not seem to be a matter of pride for the parties. In order to be able to study, for the sake of that fame, his family sold his land and property one after another, and then he fell into the dilemma of running out of food.
Castle Peak Academy is located on the mountainside, with a brick and wood structure, and the continuous buildings are admirable. At this time, I was in class, and I faintly heard the sound of the boy reciting the Analects.
Lin Haoran came to the gate of the academy, looked up at the four vigorous characters of "Qingshan Academy", and immediately felt that the person with this inscription was absolutely extraordinary, but he didn't know who the inscription named "Qingshan Jushi" was, and faintly revealed a little familiarity and cordiality.
At this time, a few people in gorgeous clothes happened to go in to visit, and a man in a short shirt who was guarding the gate of the courtyard was not stopped, and he took the opportunity to follow the people in front of him and blended in.
This is actually the same as a modern educational institution, the essence is a place to class, eat and sleep, but there are a few more attics with the characteristics of the times, and there is more humanistic atmosphere.
Due to the influence of the idea of "inheritance of rites and music", the architectural layout of the college is very rigorous. With the lecture hall as the main center, the central axis is symmetrical, the gate, the lecture hall, the sacrificial hall and the study building are connected in a line, and the two sides are the fasting houses.
Just seeing this, Lin Haoran understood that if Changlin Village wanted to catch up with Jiangcun, I was afraid that a hundred years would not be enough. Jiangcun is not only rich, but also pays so much attention to education, this will definitely be a village combining government and business in the future, how can a village like Changlin Village, which cannot solve the problem of food and clothing, catch up?
The gap between the rich and the poor is an inevitable existence in both villages in the future, and it will only widen.
Lin Haoran had already considered himself a member of Changlin Village, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Although he has the determination to help Changlin Village get rid of poverty and become rich, if he wants to take Changlin Village beyond Jiangcun, it may be difficult to reach the sky.
