Ren Ze wiped the table and stood at the table watching the pedestrians on the street in a trance. This time, the price of frankincense plummeted, and he did not hide from it. The frankincense trade swelled rapidly, relying on the issuance of new debts to pay off old debts, and now the bonds cannot be sold, so the goods can only be paid off to the cabinets. Ren Ze and the others are okay, although they have joined the army of frankincense sellers, the old coral pearl and jade business has been doing, and they are not destitute.

Unfortunately, the goods that Ren Ze mortgaged to the cabinet to issue frankincense bonds were pearls, and the capital was emptied, so he could only slowly sell the goods to recover. In order to repay the bonds, the treasure stalls in the market have been taken over by the cabinets. Most of the accomplices lost all their money, and in order to avoid suspicion, Ren Ze also accepted the rescue of the Yamen of Tanglong Town and went to this noodle shop in the city to work as a small servant. Otherwise, the accomplices are all doing things, and they are still free, and there will be things in life.

When Ren Ze was distracted, he heard a familiar voice: "A bowl of noodles, more meat, and another bowl of wine!" ”

Ren Ze looked up and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Little prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, you came to Tanglong Town to sell horses again?" ”

The little prince saw that the little guy who was wiping the table was Ren Ze, and scratched his head: "Outside, you don't do business, what are you doing here?" ”

Ren Ze smiled bitterly: "The little prince doesn't know, recently the frankincense business in this area has lost their capital, and they have no food, so they have to work in this shop to earn some food." ”

The little prince shook his head again and again, with a look of disbelief: "There are countless gold and silver outside the staff, and if you lose it once, you will definitely not get to this step!" ”

Ren Ze sighed: "Little Prince, when people in Tanglong Town do business, they all issue debts first to borrow capital and sell goods to repay debts. Ten times the capital, dare to do a thousand pieces of business. With one loss, many people are destitute. ”

The little prince sat down at the table, pulled Ren Ze and said, "Do it outside, what's going on, tell me in detail." In the past, thanks to you who brought me here to sell horses, there is a way, there are really difficulties, and it is reasonable to help them. ”

Ren Ze saw that the little prince was a person who missed the old love, and he was overjoyed, sat down on the spot, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the little prince's Chinese is becoming more and more fluent." Now you don't need help, you can do business on your own. ”

The little prince said proudly: "This time I sold horses, because the Chinese language is not good, and I missed a lot of opportunities. After going back, I studied it a lot, and I came to Tanglong Town when I was familiar with it. After learning it, I realized that it is not difficult to learn to speak Chinese at all. ”

For thousands of years, the Tibetan and Han people in this area have lived together, and most of the Tibetan people can speak Chinese. The little prince is because the tribe is remote and he speaks Han Chinese because he has contact with them, so he is not good at Chinese. After he returned, he lived mostly in towns and cities, and had more contact with Han people, and quickly became fluent in Chinese.

Ren Ze sighed again and again when he talked about the frankincense plummet. The little prince seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and he kept comforting.

A little guy came out of it and saw Ren Ze sitting there chatting with the guests, and scolded: "This guy gets paid in the store, eats here and lives here, doesn't have to do things, how can he chat with the guests!" ”

Ren Ze stood up and said to the little guy: "Brother, this guest is an old acquaintance of mine, and I happened to meet here and talk together." If you can't see it, you can tell the supervisor, and I'll find something else to do. ”

The little guy said: "Are you not pretending to be stupid? You merchants have lost their capital, and the yamen is afraid that you will starve to death, so they let the shops on this street hire you to do things. Otherwise, now that the business is not as busy as before, why hire people? ”

Seeing that Ren Ze was down, the little prince remembered his past benefits, got up and said, "Outside, don't quarrel with this kind of person, it's a shame to your identity!" If you don't have anything to do, as I do business, it's like being called around here. ”

Ren Ze waited for this, I ripped off the hat on my head, and said to the little guy who was quarreling with me: "Okay, then I won't do it, what else do you have to say?" Quickly go and bring two bowls of noodles, don't sauce donkey meat, all good meat. Two more bowls of wine! ”

After speaking, he sat down with the little prince and said to him, "Today I invite you as a pick-up for you." From tomorrow onwards, I will follow you to do some small business. Your tribe must be short of all kinds of goods, and you can earn some food by throwing them from Tanglong Town. ”

The little prince said happily: "So the best! I made some money selling horses, and I wanted to do other businesses, so I was relieved to have an outsider. Our tribe is short of everything, and Tanglong Town can make money by transporting anything here, but it is not easy to traffic. ”

Ren Ze said: "It's easy to say, I've been in business for so many years, and it's not difficult for me to do some small business." ”

The little guy who scolded Ren Ze saw that he was gone, and immediately ran back to the store to report to the director.

After a while, Director Jiang came out of it and bowed his hand to Ren Ze: "Outside, the little guy is not sensible, don't blame him for offending." ”

Director Jiang is a good person, and he has been kind to Ren Ze these days. In the end, he is a person who has seen the world, and he knows that Ren Ze and these people are just down for a while, and they don't know when they will be able to make a comeback, so he doesn't look at it differently.

Ren Ze hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "I am very grateful for bothering the supervisor these days, and I will report it later." This is a noble man I used to know, who sold some horses from the north to Tanglong Town to make some money. With him to help, I don't have to work in the store. ”

Director Jiang said: "This is a good thing, congratulations to the staff." Today's food money will be free, even if I invite someone else, don't refuse. ”

After speaking, he urged the little maid inside to bring noodles, and sent another plate of meat and two large bowls of wine.

When the wine and meat came up, the director whispered to Ren Ze: "When the caravan outside the city crossed the river yesterday, I accidentally broke the leg of a donkey, which was so shocking that it was sold to the store. Meat is good meat, not comparable to those old and sick livestock, eat more outside the staff. ”

After saying that, he said goodbye and went back to the store.

Ren Ze used to be an outsider, how could he talk about the livestock meat that died of old age and disease? That's why don't sauce donkey meat. I heard from the supervisor that the donkey was slaughtered with a broken leg and the meat was good meat, so it was different.

sat down opposite the little prince, took a sip of wine, and the two ate meat.

After eating a piece of meat, the little prince said, "This meat is very fragrant!" I've never tasted this flavor before, and it's delicious! By the way, why did the staff just say not to sauce donkey meat, and now they eat it again? This meat tastes so good! ”

Ren Ze said in a low voice: "Because most of the shops make donkey meat and beef sauce, they are all used to die of old and sick animals, and the meat is not edible." Do you think, the Central Plains forbids the killing of cows, horses, and donkeys, where does this meat come from? Today's meat is from a donkey with a broken leg yesterday, the meat is good meat, it tastes naturally different, and the taste is good. ”

The little prince said: "The Central Plains is not good at this, this is not allowed to be slaughtered, and that is not allowed to be slaughtered, what should we do with so many livestock?" Herdsmen have to slaughter their livestock every autumn to survive the winter. Otherwise, which one can afford to feed? Those bad livestock, sold to the Central Plains, no one wants, how much money does it make? Especially the horses, we were reluctant to slaughter them, and some had to let them go in vain. ”

Ren Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Little prince, isn't your horse there worthless?" It's a way to make money! ”

The little prince said: "What kind of wealth? Bad horses, don't want any. It's useless to raise trouble. ”

"You're useless, it's useful here! In recent days, there have been a lot of people buying horses in Tanglong Town, and there are people who want horses, but the price is lower. I heard from them that the people in this area use horses to plow and pull carts, which is very useful. ”

The little prince shook his head again and again: "What are you talking about?" You can't pull a horse, you can only ride it. On our grassland, cattle are used to pull carts. ”
