Chapter 460: Barbecued Pork Bun
The storyteller was an old man, and when he saw this person's rich and noble dress, especially the emerald green jade pendant, he really stopped beating the drum in his heart. After all, born in this world, there are many people he can't afford to offend.
A fat member who listened to it with relish said dissatisfiedly: "Gong Sanguang, what's in your way with this storytelling?" If you really want to be quiet, you shouldn't go to the teahouse, you should go to the temple to become a monk! ”
Ha ha......
Perhaps it was because he thought it was funny, or it was an expression of dissatisfaction with Gong Sanguang for stopping the storyteller, and everyone in the lobby lobby laughed cooperatively.
Gong Sanguang smiled coldly, slapped the table and said angrily: "Huf, you are also worthy of talking to Lao Tzu like this?" Believe it or not, I'm going to shave your head right now, and you have nowhere to reason? ”
"Don't you just have a good nephew? What's so spirited! Huf looked unangry, but his momentum weakened significantly.
"Oops! Gong Ye, don't be angry, please here, I'll make you a pot of tea myself! Shopkeeper Liu had already arrived, with a flattering smile on his face, and slightly tried to invite people to the inner hall to take a seat.
Gong Sanguang still had a dark face, and pushed the hand of Shopkeeper Liu away, but he didn't really mean to do anything to Huo Fu, snorted coldly at him, and then walked towards the inner hall on Lin Haoran's side alone.
"Get out!"
Gong Sanguang first glanced at Lin Haoran, and finally chose the matchmaker's tea table, and spit out a word heavily.
The matchmaker seemed to know this person, and immediately pulled her patron and hurriedly wanted to leave. The middle-aged man looked dissatisfied, and the mother-in-law whispered in his ear before he left angrily without saying a word.
Shopkeeper Liu followed the matchmaker and the middle-aged man to secretly accompany the ceremony, his posture was very low, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious, and offended Gong Sanguang, who had no one in his eyes.
Gong Sanguang took out a bag of tea leaves from his arms and threw it on the table, and said loudly with disdain: "Liu Sangou, the tea leaves you have here smell bad for Lao Tzu to rinse his mouth, hurry up and use the master's tea leaves to make a pot of tea!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the merchants in the lobby couldn't help frowning.
Lin Haoran was sipping the tea lightly, and found that the tea was slightly bitter, but it was very flavorful. In this kind of teahouse, it should be considered very good to be able to have tea of this quality.
It's just that when he heard Gong Sanguang slander like this, he shook his head gently, and he didn't take this arrogance to heart, as if this person had nowhere to show his superiority.
He was a little curious about what kind of sacredness this man's nephew was, and what made him so rampant.
"Gong Ye, you sit down first, I'll make you tea!" Shopkeeper Chen still accompanied the smiling face, took the tea and turned to help him make tea.
Lin Haoran looked at this person as if he had stopped, and his attention shifted from him, noticing a tea table opposite, where these businessmen were actually chatting about him and Leizhou Mansion.
"The new prefect of Leizhou is really the number one person, so he got rid of Jia Bao and built Leizhou Wharf again!"
"Not really! I heard that the trade in Leizhou City is easy to do now, and the batch of porcelain that broke the nine porcelains was sold out when it arrived in Leizhou City! ”
"I've heard about it, too! Now it's getting cold, or let's go to Guangzhou Mansion to dump a cart of cotton cloth, and it is estimated that it can be sold at a good price in Leizhou City! ”
……
The three shrewd merchants whispered, like wolves that had discovered their prey, and their eyes shone brightly, as if they wanted to get a piece of fat from them.
Lin Haoran silently bit the dried sandworms, and also heard their words.
Although others are not in Leizhou City, the plan to build a cotton weaving center is proceeding in an orderly manner. With the advent of the shuttle loom and the license to do maritime trade, the merchants he invited saw huge business opportunities, and they were also pulled in by him.
Later generations have long proven that an industry can often drive the development of the region, and many cities even thrive because of a single automobile company.
Now Leizhou Mansion is in the early stage of construction, and is ready to spend money to build Leizhou Wharf, not only has a huge demand for building materials and labor, but also is hungry for daily necessities, which is undoubtedly a gold market everywhere.
Of course, even if you are so hungry and thirsty, it may not be a wise act to go to Guangzhou Mansion to dump a cart of cotton cloth back. Once Leizhou cloth is produced, I am afraid there will be no living space for other cloths.
Especially standing in Lin Haoran's position, not to mention that Leizhou cloth itself is extremely competitive, even if the competitiveness is insufficient, he will hit other cloths and let Leizhou cloth rise.
"I'm not selling! I don't sell! ”
But at this moment, the voice of a peasant woman came out.
Lin Haoran looked into the corner and saw a ragged peasant woman holding a little girl and choking on tears and saying loudly.
In front of the tea table, there was a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes and a brightly dressed woman, Lin Haoran thought she was a matchmaker at first, but at the moment it didn't look like it, but it was a little more dusty.
"You can think about it, it is also sold to our Fengming Building, and others can't afford such a high price!" The woman's eyebrows were a little contemptuous, as if she had settled the other party's way.
The middle-aged man with sinister eyebrows and eyes hurriedly stood up, as if he was also speaking words of advice to the woman, and looked familiar with the peasant woman.
"Even if I starve to death, I won't sell the baby to that kind of place!" The woman was a little vigorous, and immediately put her arms around the little girl and turned away, but the tears could not help but flow.
In order to hold on to this limit, she resisted temptation, but she was still greeted by poverty and hunger.
"Mother, I'm hungry!"
A pot of tea was brewed, and Shopkeeper Liu also sent a basket of hot barbecued pork buns to Gong Sanguang's table. As the little girl passed by, her eyes fell on it, and she swallowed and foamed hard, and then said a pitiful voice.
Mutter......
Not to mention a child, the woman's stomach growled, and she looked at the hot barbecued pork bun with a hint of longing. She longs for her own food, but she also longs for her children to eat, after all, children have been hungry for too long and too long.
"Want to eat?" Gong Sanguang noticed this scene, picked up a barbecued pork bun with a smile and asked.
"Yes!" The little girl met Gong Sanguang's gaze and nodded heavily, her big beautiful eyes full of incomparable longing.
"It smells so good!" Gong Sanguang gently broke open the barbecued pork bun, revealing the tempting barbecued pork filling, which was filled with a meaty aroma.
But what was surprising was that he suddenly coughed lightly, spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into the barbecued pork filling, and then threw it in front of the mother and daughter, and said jokingly: "Eat!" I'll have it after eating! ”
