Chapter Ninety-Seven: Meng Kaishan's Business

Su Shi fell in love with this place in Hami completely. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ten days ago, he was complaining about the wind, sand and cold in Hami, as well as the food that didn't change much.

Ten days later, Su Shi felt that the wind and sand in Hami carried a fragrance of gardenias, clear and long.

Until now, he had never seen Aisha's face under the veil, which made Su Shi curious, he was waiting, waiting for the day when Aisha would take off the veil herself so that he could see it clearly.

There is always endless copywriting every day, so there is little time to compose poems, today's case is over, seeing that there is still a little residual ink in the ink pool, so he wrote with a pen: "The moon in the Tianshan Mountains is cold, and the residual red warms the heart." ”

After writing these two sentences, but I didn't know how to write the following sentences, my mind was full of the soft eyes of the elf, so I dropped the brush, opened a wooden box, took out two ingots of silver in my arms, took a long breath and walked out of the public house, and walked straight towards the tile market on the edge of the waterfall.

There is a teahouse called Bianjing in Washizi, and the teahouse was opened by a Song man named Meng Kaishan, who was originally a merchant, and after walking to Hami, he encountered robbers, and his entourage suffered heavy casualties, and all the goods were lost.

Ten days later, King Hami's generals brought back his goods, as well as the head of the horse thief.

The goods were lost and recovered, but the entourage was dead and wounded, Meng Kaishan himself was lame, and he wanted to go home, but he didn't dare to go on the road alone after all.

He sold his goods and opened this teahouse called Bianjing in Qingxiang City.

Originally, he opened this teahouse, just to find a way to comfort himself, all copied the appearance of the Fan Lou he had seen in Tokyo, who knows, as soon as the teahouse opened, the business was extremely prosperous, even the queen mother and queen of Hami often came here to drink a cup of tea, listen to the music with the close Hami ministers, and watch the song and dance, which made Meng Kaishan never think of it anyway.

After opening for more than a year, he made a lot of profits, even more than he made by risking his life as a businessman, so Meng Kaishan decided to put his foundation in Hami, preparing to hire those mercenaries to take his family in Tokyo and live in Hami together after the current food shortage in Hami.

Su Shi and Meng Kaishan naturally knew each other, and said with a smile without waiting for Su Shi to ask: "The official came at the right time, and after a pillar of incense, it will be the time for the elves to dance, and your seat villain is still reserved for you, and you still drink the little dragon group?" ”

"If you have a heart, add me two more dried fruits, the fried pecans taste good, and in addition, the pickled figs are also good, and one more plate fills the stomach."

Meng Kaishan said with a smile: "Everything in our Qingxiang City is good, but this food is a big problem, and it is really a sin for officials to fill their belly with dried fruits, if the officials don't dislike it, there are still some small wontons in the small shop, how about the officials come to a bowl to go to the cold?" ”

Su Shi clicked his mouth and smiled: "The whole country has a hard life with their mouths pricked up, you actually have wontons here, it's rare, bring me two bowls, the food in the public house today is made by feeding the pigs, and you can't eat it at a glance." ”

"Hahaha." Meng Kaishan saw that Su Shi said something interesting, and laughed with him for a while, so he welcomed Su Shi upstairs, arranged for Hu Ji to cook tea and serve dinner for Su Shi, and he himself came backstage to recruit the boss of the dancing girl troupe and Laer: "Su Xianggong is here again, he is specially coming to see the elves, and he will arrange for the elves to dance two more songs in a while." ”

He Laer smiled: "This is natural, Su Xianggong is the benefactor of the elf, but unfortunately, the elf is still a little stubborn, and he refuses to accompany Su Xianggong to drink a glass of wine, otherwise it will ......"

Meng Kaishan waved his hand and said: "What do you know, even if Su Xianggong is in my Great Song Dynasty, he is also a first-class romantic character, what kind of beauty has not been seen."

You orchids finally came out of the elf who was so clean and self-conscious, and Su Xianggong took pity on her a little more.

Don't ruin this good feeling, as long as the elf can dance a good dance and sing a brilliant song, Su Xianggong's reward will be indispensable. ”

When Aisha heard that Su Shi was coming, she laughed secretly, thinking that she should give this squinting guy some benefits today.

It's not okay to always tease this idiot goose like this, and it's bad if this guy is impatient after a long time.

If you want to go on peacefully in Qingxiang City, you can't do it without Su Shi's help.

Aisha doesn't have to show her face, she only needs to show her slender waist and plump buttocks to make the guests upstairs in Bianjing crazy.

Coupled with the snake dance they had never seen before, it made Helaer dare not go out to collect money.

The copper coins were dropped from the second floor like raindrops, and there were some silver ingots mixed in the middle, and the five taels and one ingot of silver thrown out by Su Shi smashed a big hole in the wicker basket that collected the money.

Aisha's outfit is very provocative, a bandeau top, a pair of tight silk pants embroidered with flowers, and a pair of upturned boots outline her wonderful figure with a three-dimensional beauty.

Su Shi watched Aisha Tingting come up from downstairs, and in the toothache-like inhalation of all the guests, she whirled and shook her arms to offer a glass of wine to Su Shi.

Su Shi smiled and took the wine glass from Aisha's hand and drank it all, which immediately attracted the applause of Meng Kaishan and these good deeds.

Su Shi stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Aisha's slender waist, but Aisha twisted her body like a snake, allowing Su Shi to catch an empty one.

Then he went down to the second floor like a frightened deer, and hurried into the narrow stage door on the first floor.

"This is a grinding leprechaun." Meng Kaishan muttered to himself in a low voice, and then came to Su Shi's side with a smile and said, "There will always be a chance." ”

Su Shi played with the wine glass sent by Aisha and said with a smile: "It's rare for a woman from the Western Regions to have such a style. ”

Meng Kaishan said: "I hate to be in Bianjing, a woman like Elf Er will definitely be able to attract the Wuling young man to fight for his head." ”

Su Shi shook his head and said: "There are many bullies in Beijing, if she goes to Bianjing, she will naturally make a lot of money, and in the end, a group of vicious dogs fight, and the elves can't even have bones left."

Don't talk about others, just Xia Wei, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, these hungry ghosts will let her go, I'm afraid that in the end, they will decompose the elves into beautiful corpses to satisfy their face. ”

Meng Kaishan said with a smile: "It's just an orchid left and right, she looks more beautiful, and it's also her blessing to be able to go to Tokyo." ”

Su Shi glanced at Meng Kaishan and said, "Why do you always mention Tokyo today?" Oh, you want to bring your family over, don't you?

You don't have to look for me in this matter, just go to Hami to find those mercenaries, I heard that now there are even Western Xia mercenaries in the military camp, you only need to hire a dozen Western Xia mercenaries, and it will not be a problem to bring your family over, and you don't have to go to the war-torn Qingtang, it is no problem to enter directly from Western Xia. ”

"Is it reliable?"

Su Shi nodded and said: "Reliable, I haven't figured out why those wolf-like Xixia people have become humble gentlemen one by one after entering Hami, working harder than anyone else, as long as they are hired to fight, they are as fierce as hungry wolves."

During this time, they took on a lot of work, the most famous one, eight Western Xia mercenaries escorted a caravan to the sea salt hills, eight people overturned a group of horse thieves of more than 50 people, four were killed in the battle, and the remaining four wounded soldiers insisted on sending the caravan to the place, this ruthlessness of our Song mercenaries did not have.

This time the reputation has been done, and now, there are many caravans looking for Xixia people as escorts, and I haven't heard of robbers running away.

If you are worried, go find a Song man named Hong Laoqi, who is now looking for work for mercenaries to pull lines, and if you ask him as a guarantee, he will definitely take your family over safely. ”

Meng Kaishan gritted his teeth and said: "If the villain transports goods from Tokyo by the way, do you see if you can come from Xixia?" ”

Su Shi said: "What goods?" ”

Meng Kaishan said with a smile: "The villain plans to change this teahouse into a restaurant. ”

Su Shi pouted and said: "Die of this heart, now that the food is not enough, who will allow you to use the grain to make wine."

In Hami, food is a dead man's line, whoever touches it will die, the king has said more than once, commerce can prosper, trade can prosper, but food can not be chaotic, once it is chaotic, people will starve to death.

So, Lao Meng, the idea of food can't be fought, it will really kill people. ”

Meng Kaishan said with a smile: "Xianggong, you know better than anyone else that our Hami was originally not short of food, but it was because there were too many displaced people who poured in that our food was not enough to eat."

There is a lot of fertile land around our Hami, as long as we grow grain on a large scale in the spring of next year, food will not be a problem.

The old man has been in business for many years and has seen this state of affairs.

Now there is not enough food, and the king and the Zuo Xiang, they are all worried, for fear that there will be problems with the food.

Therefore, in the spring of next year, growing grain must be the top priority of the government, and this government is always overkill, and there is a shortage of grain this year, and next year, the whole country will have to grow grain.

I heard that the Queen Mother's garden was no longer planted with flowers and trees, but instead planted vegetables and grains.

If you don't believe it, by this time next year, there will be more food to eat.

At this time, let's discuss with the government and buy some inexhaustible grain to make wine, and this will be no problem. ”

Su Shi glanced at Meng Kaishan in surprise and said, "I didn't see it, you guy still has this vision."

You're right, next year's focus of our Hami government will be to grow grain, and next year's grain planting acres will be 2.7 million mu more than this year's, that is to say, Daxue Mountain, Balikun Lake, poplar land, and both sides of the Hami River will send one million people to grow grain, and the situation you mentioned is likely to occur. ”

Meng Kaishan said with a smile: "So, the villain is going to invite some winemakers from Tokyo to buy some exquisite wine utensils and dishes, and if there are brilliant singers who are willing to come to Hami, please also invite some to come, so that our Bianjing Restaurant will become a veritable Bianjing Restaurant."

You can enjoy everything you can enjoy in Tokyo in Hami. (To be continued.) )
