Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Little Village on Fire

With the help of Wang Chengwu and Wu Chen to get the carriage, Changsun Chong learned about the soybean oil from Li Chengqian, and he was so excited that he had to go and see it together.

The old horse broke the cart, left the imperial city with the sound of 'crunch', and rushed all the way to the outside of Chang'an City. In the car, Sun Chong looked around in disgust, and finally pouted and said, "Cousin, when will you change this car?" It's also too broken. ”

After being beaten three times by the old man's eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chong finally changed his title back and no longer used the words 'Gao Ming Xian Brother'.

"For what? This is called experiencing the suffering of the people, because I have also been praised by Wei Heizi for this car. Patting the carriage board that was about to fall, Li Chengqian said complacently, not caring about Changsun Chong's worried eyes.

"You can pull it down, put me down at Chongrenfang in a while, I don't dare to sit in your car." The eldest grandson chong buckled the floor of the carriage with his fingers, and actually buckled a large piece of wood.

"Don't sit down, go back and ride your little flower." Li Chengqian slapped off the piece of wood that Changsun Chong handed to his eyes, rolled his eyes and said.

Xiaohua is the name of a horse, because the eldest grandson Chong always said that his horse was beautiful, so Li Chengqian named his horse Xiaohua. It's just that the brothers bragged too much, and when they remembered to tell the 'bald king' to go to Chongrenfang, they found out that they had missed it a long time ago.

When he arrived at the small village outside the city, Li Chengqian was surprised to find that there had been great changes here, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and there was no longer the cold appearance of the past. Even if it weren't for the fact that the old horse didn't go any further, even the 'bald king' who was driving the car didn't realize that he had arrived at the place.

After getting out of the car, I looked around with great interest and found that in addition to the location of the original oil mill, other places in the village were under construction, some were building new houses, some were building warehouses, and two new oil mills were under construction in the distance.

In the distance, a group of richly dressed people gathered around the oil mill, because it was too far away, so I didn't know what they were discussing, but Li Chengqian's destination was there, and the letter minister would soon know.

Changsun Chong also jumped out of the car and followed Li Chengqian with some curiosity, while the 'bald king' and Wu Chen, as well as Changsun Chong's guards, led the horse and silently followed behind the two.

As for Li Chengqian's carriage, it can be left under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and even the carriages around to pull goods are much more beautiful than his, so there is no need to worry about someone stealing it.

All the way into the village, before I arrived at the oil mill, I saw Zheng Laohan pushing away the crowd and greeted him, and greeted him with a smile on his face from afar: "Young Master Gaoming, the little old man has finally looked forward to you." ”

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a while, but your complexion is getting better and better." Li Chengqian looked at Zheng Laohan and said half-jokingly.

The old man is no longer dressed in the rustic way he used to be, although his clothes are not glamorous, they are also clean and tidy, and the whole person is much more capable.

"Thanks to you, the little old man is now considered to have some savings, and the whole village has benefited a lot from this oil mill." The little old man said with a smile, as if he had taken a big advantage, and the eldest grandson Chong was a little curious, what does Li Chengqian have to do with this village.

"It's good to have profits, it's just the ...... I want."

"Don't worry, I'll keep it all for you, it's hundreds of pounds." As he spoke, Zheng Laohan led Li Chengqian and the others in the direction of the warehouse.

Seeing that Zheng Laohan took Li Chengqian and others to the warehouse, the group of people who had just surrounded Lao Han immediately stopped doing it and surrounded them one after another, intending to seek 'justice'.

However, after Wu Chen poked the horizontal knife into the ground fiercely, he was all stunned, and retracted back to the spot and shouted from afar: "Old Zheng Tou, you can't keep your promises, we paid the deposit." ”

"Cousin, the one you just shouted seems to be the tent room of the Welcome Building, right?" Hearing the shouts behind him, Changsun Chong turned his head to look at it and asked Li Chengqian.

"How do I know? I've only been there once, and it's still a bully meal. Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said.

Ignoring the clamor of the gang behind him, he followed Lao Zheng Tou into the warehouse.

Lao Zheng Tou is not ambiguous, no matter how the group of people behind him shouts, he doesn't look back at all, with the prince by his side, who cares about the tent shopkeeper.

Seven or eight large wooden barrels were placed in a corner of the warehouse, covered with wooden planks, apparently to prevent ash.

Lao Zheng took the lead, walked over first, lifted a wooden board without much effort, and then opened the lid of the barrel, and a familiar smell of stupidly pressed soybean oil suddenly filled Li Chengqian's nasal cavity.

Lying on the edge of the barrel, look inside, the warehouse is dark and can't see clearly, fortunately, Lao Zheng Tou took a wooden spoon on the side, scooped some out of the barrel, and took it to a bright place for everyone to watch.

The tents outside are no longer noisy, and when the eldest grandson turned around just now, he had already been recognized by someone with a heart, and discussed it privately, and agreed that shutting up was the best choice.

"This is soybean oil? Except for the different colors, it doesn't look like much. Eldest Sun Chong looked at it first, and then said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian glanced at him undeniably, didn't speak, took Lao Zhengtou's spoon and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, whether it was color or taste, it was similar to later generations, except for some problems in filtration, there were some impurities in it, and there was no difference in others.

nodded at the moment and said to Zheng Laohan: "Calculate it and see how much it is." ”

"Young master, it's not that the little old man is hypocritical, if you really want to talk about it, we have to give you money." As soon as he heard that he wanted to count the money, Lao Zheng Tou waved his hand again and again and said the truth.

The soybean oil in the warehouse was all squeezed out of 5,000 catties of soybeans sent by Li Chengqian one after another, but Li Chengqian did not say how to deal with the remaining soybean cakes after the oil was squeezed out.

In addition, Li Chengqian has never returned since he came last time, and the bean cakes are easy to spoil after a long time, so the old man sold those bean cakes without recruiting.

The old man was not worried about where to put the money from selling bean cakes, so he used it to buy beans, bought beans and squeezed oil. This time, the old man tried to sell it in the city, but it was out of control, and the largest restaurant and Yingbin Building, which was sold later, came to him to buy oil.

"Young master, it is thanks to you that there are such good conditions in the village now, how can the old man ask for your money now." Zheng Laohan rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment, and the old man had other thoughts in his heart, but he never found a chance and didn't know how to speak.

"That's it, let's use those bean cakes for the handmade money this time." Although Li Chengqian is kind, he is by no means wronged, and of course it is impossible to give double money.

However, the old man's words made the eldest grandson Chong hear a lot of things, and as soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, he leaned over to him and said, "Cousin, discuss something?" ”

"Okay, you can do anything except soybean oil." Li Chengqian's answer was extremely happy, but he choked the eldest grandson Chong and almost didn't come up in one breath.

In addition to soybean oil, that's a fart.
