Chapter 75: The Way of the World Has Changed
Walking around the corner, Du Er turned around and took a sip: "Two thieves with an army, ants and ants, they dare to learn from others to be big officials." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I'm phew! Who is Director Tong? Eat people without spitting out bones! In a few months, I'll see how you die! ā
Back in his room, the brother who was in a hurry to turn around grabbed Du Er: "Second brother, how are things going?" ā
Du Er sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, and then replied: "Third brother, brother, I have been in Luoyang City for many years, so this little thing is naturally not a problem. You just have to rest assured, go back and send the copper coins to Tongda's shop. ā
"That's good, that's good!" The third brother let out a sigh of relief, "Second brother, you don't know, these copper coins are Daddy's life, since the accident, I can't eat or sleep for many days." When it's done, I'll have to go back sooner rather than later. ā
Du Er said: "What's the hurry, wait until you've eaten before leaving." We are brothers of the same mother, we haven't seen each other for some days, so naturally we have to sit down and talk when we come, and you can also tell me about how the family is now. ā
Du Er was quite authoritative at home, and when he said this, the third brother sat down.
After drinking tea for a while and gossiping, the third brother remembered the money again and asked Du Er: "I heard that Tong Da, who is in charge, originally opened the kiln, and was confiscated because of gambling. Second brother, is this person reliable? Daddy has saved these copper coins for a lifetime, but he can't have any accidents, otherwise Daddy is afraid that he won't be able to support it. ā
"Don't worry, Tong Da is a little good, and he is very righteous. Don't say that there is a contract, even if there is no contract, Tong Da will also take a good look at our family's money. ā
The third brother was still not at ease, and said with a frown: "A thief who has filled the army, what kind of righteousness can you talk about?" ā
Du Er smiled and said, "Third brother, this is what you don't understand." These idlers are mixed with righteousness outside, and if they are known by their peers that they have no righteousness, they will not be able to move an inch from now on. That Tong Da, do you really think he's a big official? He used to be just an idle man who could only gamble and drink, and he had no skills, so didn't he come to Luoyang to ask for a bite to eat from me? ā
"Second brother, but I heard that he is the same sect as Sun Tong's supervisor of the Fuli Tong, and someone supports him."
"Hehe, Tongzong, this is also to deceive you people! Director Tong just looks at this person's rectum, he is stupid and easy to use, where is he really recognized as a relative! I don't know how much I have dealt with Director Tong, that person's heart is as deep as the sea, and what he does is something that ordinary people can see! If my guess is correct, Director Tong will just throw a bone out and call Tong Da and the sick lieutenant Chi as dogs. When you don't need them anymore, you can see how Director Tong swallows them with a belt bone! ā
Du Er's third brother has been farming at home and taking care of his parents, how do you know the twists and turns in the stomachs of these city people? Anyway, the second brother has seen the world, so it's good to say anything.
Opposite the Tang Family Restaurant, Tang Lao'er sat under the big willow tree in front of the door, looked at the opposite side, and said to Tang's mother on the side: "This world has become really fast, I have lived for decades, but now I can't understand it." You look at the three people who came to Tong Da a year ago, when Du Er first came, he still regarded them as human beings, and in winter, he was hungry and full, and he was about to become beggars. Who knows, now he has become a Tong Daguan, who is in charge of more than a dozen companies below, and he is a rich and noble person. The eldest sister in our family, who runs a small garment company, has made much more money than our restaurant, and the company that Tong Da heard that each one is very big, and there are more than a dozen under his name, how much net worth is he? ā
Mother Tang sighed when she heard this: "You can't understand the world, and I'm even more incomprehensible as a woman." A few years ago, the eldest sister said that she and Qin's second sister-in-law's family co-opened a company, and the two of us were still worried about something, and we couldn't sleep for a month, for fear that the eldest sister's net worth would be deceived. How many days has it been? Her business there is very prosperous, and the eldest sister's vision is accurate! ā
"Young people's world, we old boys! After doing this year, let's go with my eldest sister. ā
In Tang Lao'er's memory, the world has never changed so fast, and in the past few months, his brain has not been able to keep up.
"Master, bring me a bowl of wine and two pieces of meat, and I'll eat it and go to the city!"
A donkey cart stopped in front of the restaurant, and the man who drove the car said to Tang Lao'er while unloading the donkey cover on the car.
Tang Lao'er got up, took a closer look, and couldn't help laughing: "You man, I still remember it." Didn't you go into the city a few days ago and buy this car, pass by my door, and beg for a drink? ā
The man unloaded the donkey, led him to the wooden stake next to him and tied it, and came back and said to Tang Lao'er: "What the old man said is that the last time I bought a car, I begged for saliva in your restaurant, but I didn't eat your wine and meat." This time I went to the city, so I naturally had to take care of your business. ā
Donald asked the man to sit at the table under the shed in front of the door, and ordered the little servant to serve wine and food.
When the wine and food came up, Donald asked the little maid to take a sheep's hoof from it, and said to the man: "The newly marinated sheep's trotters in the store, the craftsmanship learned in the capital, the taste is really good, give you a taste, and I will rest here when you enter the city in the future." ā
The man thanked him, took a bite of the sheep's trotters while drinking the spirits, and praised in his mouth: "This tastes really good, although the meat is a little less, but it is just right to use it for wine." ā
Mutton is the most eaten meat in this era, and there are naturally many sheep's trotters, which are not worth much, and many butchers even throw them away. There is a snack of sheep's trotters in Kaifeng City, but it is finely made, and it is not released, and the price is not cheap. Xu Ping made old soup according to the memories of his previous life, and marinated the sheep's hooves. Heavy oil and salt, with a lot of sauces, it tastes good, and it is most suitable for people who work hard to use it to drink. It used to be sold in liquor shops in Baisha Town, but later spread in the capital and became a popular snack.
Tang Lao'er's so-called craftsmanship learned in the capital was actually passed down from Xu Ping's family.
After drinking the wine in the bowl in two sips, the two pieces of braised pork were swallowed, and the man burped. Donald asked the little servant to serve tea, and the man drank tea and sat there to rest. The croppers who farm the land are tired of walking dozens of miles. But the animal that pulls the cart is the treasure of the family, and people can not stop, but the donkey who pulls the cart has to let it roll there twice and rest.
Donald came over to sit with the man and gossip. He opens the door to sit on business, and it is business to make friends with customers.
Seeing that the donkey cart next to him was loaded with something I don't know what it was, and it was covered with a straw curtain, Donald Lao'er asked, "What is it on your cart?" It doesn't look light. ā
The man took a big sip of tea, put the bowl down, wiped his mouth and said, "It's a bamboo shoot from the mountains, and it's pulled to the city to be sold and exchanged for some copper coins." This kind of thing is everywhere in our mountains, and the villagers don't look at it, but it is a good thing in Luoyang City. Now I have a donkey cart at home, just load a cart and pull it to Luoyang City for copper coins. ā
"That is, what you can't eat in the countryside is very lacking in the city. You can make a lot of copper money just by selling bamboo shoots. You are a man, you have brains and vision. ā
The man smiled: "That's true, this year's market, I sell bamboo shoots to earn back the car money!" Wait until autumn to sell other mountain goods, and it will all be earned for nothing! ā
