Chapter 18 Talking in the Rain and Thinking

Pedestrians are in a hurry, dark clouds cover the sky, do not see the past sad color, now the joy is strong, the meat is busy, and the noodles, the side of the pot table stands children,.

When the sky is cloudy, buy some meat, grab two handfuls of vegetables and go home, or fry them, or make dumplings, and the children at home swallow saliva and wait beside them.

When the smoke and rain fall, it is the moment of the meal.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are also busy, the wontons are wrapped, this side is called wonton, seafood and prawn filling, soup boiled with shark fin, poured into it with a bang, beat two and roll it out, put mustard in the bowl, get some sea rice, seaweed and coriander on it, and bring the three bowls to the table.

The old man stood by and watched, watching the two little guys cooperate with each other tacitly, he thought that the two little guys would make noodles or something, and there were cut noodles in the kitchen, but he didn't expect to chop the stuffed buns and wanton, busy but not messy, that is called a neat rope.

Waiting for the three bowls to be put on the table, the old man couldn't wait to taste one, a wonton was fragrant and fresh to eat, and then drank the soup, the old man stopped, a little reluctant to eat, looking at the two little babies there sucking and eating happy, smiled and said:

"No wonder Bi Gou wrote that there are many people who go there in Shuiyunjian, some are specially for eating, he also eats there every day, the two little ancestors of the Zhang and Wang families can make it so delicious, think about it to know how the food in Shuiyunjian is, no, raising pigeons and training pigeons also have to add conditions."

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan enjoyed eating, the fresh shrimp in the sea were so good, suddenly heard the old man's words, and stopped at the same time, Zhang Xiaobao still had uneaten wonton in his mouth, stretched out his chopsticks and put the meat of the white-cut chicken that was also put in the pot just now and put it in the old man's plate, and asked in a vague voice: "Grandpa, what conditions?" ”

Wang Juan had a seaweed hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he also nodded.

"Even if I have to arrange my dinner in the future, I can't always let Bi Gou benefit alone." The old man was very thick-skinned, and he was not red when he said this.

Zhang Xiaobao swallowed the wonton at this time, and let out a long breath, "Grandpa, don't say such a thing suddenly in the future, almost choked, isn't it just a meal, in the future, the old man is willing to wander around, go to Haitao Pavilion to eat, or let Haitao Pavilion send it, my family bought it, and brought a master to come, which is the original master of Shuiyunjian."

The chef here followed to learn, and the guy also brought some over, the taste is no worse than other places, especially eating seafood, eating freshly, according to the taste of the old man, when the time comes to order a separate recipe for the old man, this is always okay, right? It's just a meal, and it's so serious, it's scary. ”

Wang Juan gave the old man some cabbage, and then said: "It's very scary, grandpa, eat it quickly, it won't taste good after a while, you can't wait for the soup to go in, if the old man loves to eat wonton, Xiaobao and I will often come over to make it for the old man in the future." ”

The old man looked at the two little babies, blinked vigorously, raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his eye with his sleeve, stuffed the things that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had sandwiched into his mouth, and scooped a big wonton and chewed it vigorously, not afraid of being hot.

"No wonder Bi Gou said that I am blessed, enjoyed, enjoyed, he must not be used to suddenly missing two people over there, Xiaobao, find people in a while, old man, I will live a few more years, and enjoy a few more years of happiness, I promise to teach you well.

I can see that your family has been comfortable, cooking is so good, and it is so natural when I serve vegetables to the old man, this is a habit that I usually develop. ”

The old man was a little jealous of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's family, and he didn't know how the people of the two families taught him, comparing other children with two babies, which made the world's parents embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaobao heard the old man mention his family, smiled happily and said: "It's comfortable, the family has a separate medicine and diet recipe, and the old man first went to Haitao Pavilion to familiarize himself with it, and then he had it." ”

Wang Juan also smiled sweetly, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, you were so powerful at the beginning, it is better to find some personal training in the future, you are watching from the side, which one is not good to beat and scold at will, and there is a sand table, when the terrain is explored, I will play with you, or go to live in my house, and usually chat with my grandfather and Xiaobao's grandfather." ”

Wang Juan found that the old man was relatively lonely, and wanted to find something for the old man, there were a lot of chess and card games at home, as well as gateball, and the old man would not be so lonely when he came, his grandfather and Xiaobao's grandfather didn't care what the identity of others was, and there would be no such situation.

"Okay, okay, let's go to Haitao Pavilion tonight, you don't need to live, go over and have a look when you're fine, and tell me, how do you plan to govern this side?" Did your father tell you? ”

The old man promised Wang Juan, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao and asked.

Zhang Xiaobao swallowed the soup and nodded, "As I said, in the future, everyone here will unite to set up large and small commercial houses, and then form these commercial houses into a chamber of commerce, and negotiate the price with others when buying and selling things, so that they are not afraid that others will deliberately lower the price and break them one by one." ”

"Good way, but it's a pity that I also know that your family can do this, there is no such means in the homes of officials in other places, but those who have means have to be coerced by officials, and they have to compete with each other, and there are few times when they are united, there are no big businesses here, so there is a lack of a leader, and there is no need to worry about the government obstructing it."

In addition, your family has its own large fleet, the ship uses a new sail, and it is convenient to transport back and forth, and the goods here are not easy to sell because there is a sea in Qinzhou and the surrounding places, all of which are the same goods. ”

The old man heard Zhang Xiaobao's method and felt that it was feasible, and it would allow the locals to make money in the future, and he would help analyze it there, and he found the problem as he spoke.

Zhang Xiaobao saw that the old man was only talking and didn't eat, he also put down his chopsticks and said to the old man: "Does the old man think that those goods will be sold to a certain extent and the supply will exceed demand?" It's simple, build the road, and repair the road in the same direction to the next place while there are no goods coming and going.

Since Qinzhou is stuck with us, let's build the road to Lianzhou, Sumaozhou, Shangsi and Yingzhou, Lianzhou can open mountains and bridges, the money will come from the Chamber of Commerce, the state yamen will also pay a part, let the four states out of labor, we will pay for it, as long as it is ruthless to repair, it will not take a year, the road can be repaired, and it will be expanded according to the original path. ”

Wang Juan also said: "When they want goods from the north, there will be caravans here to buy them, and at the same time, they will also transport the products in their state to sell, in fact, it is just one less thorn history who is willing to do bad things, otherwise they would have been able to unite a long time ago."

Circulation can be prosperous, there is no shortage of goods here, the main thing is that there is less means of circulation, so that the two places have become worthless things into high prices, Qinzhou stuck with us, then we will use the same method to card it, without us to do it, the local businessmen will force Qinzhou's thorn history to come over to sue for peace. ”

The old man understood now, looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said: "You two little babies have learned a lot of things, but it's a pity that I don't know anything old man, otherwise I have to teach you well, just like Bi Gou, the Master is hard to find, and good disciples are also hard to find, I know other states, but Sumao Prefecture and Lianzhou are on both sides, next to the sea, why don't you let the ship directly transport it over and sell it?" ”

The old man really doesn't know much about business, mainly because business is also about politics, he doesn't know what political economy is, so he has to ask, who let these two babies be guided by masters at home.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew why, making money was not the goal, helping Zhang Zhongcai was the most important, and Wang Juan said to the old man: "Actually, it's on purpose, otherwise what road else to build?" Letting them come and buy is to speed up circulation and increase the number of floating people in the state, who need to eat and stay in a hotel.

There are also caravans that will arrange people to wait for the goods here, which requires a special department to appear, intermediary, sort out the supply of goods everywhere, and some people feel that the state is good, then they will stay and live, and at the same time it is also an attraction to the people on the mountain, I don't believe that they don't want to live better? ”

Now the old man understands that everything is to accumulate political achievements for Zhang Zhong, and the financial resources of the Zhang family have always moved with Zhang Zhong, so people have to admire the strength of the Zhang family to Zhang Zhong, and even lose a little bit in trading, such as uniting the locals, which will make the Zhang family earn less, even if it is so, it is necessary to bear the burden of paving the way for Zhang Zhong.

As soon as I thought of this method, the old man couldn't stay stunned, and the speed of eating accelerated, the reason why Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't finish eating was to wait for the old man, when accompanying the guests and accompanying the elders to eat, the host and the younger generation could not finish eating first, which was very impolite.

Seeing that the old man ate, the two of them sped up, but fortunately, the old man finished eating, and the two of them also finished eating, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and put them in the kitchen, so they didn't care, and the old man had someone to wash the dishes.

The old man found that he couldn't find fault with these two babies, and some just liked it, so he took Wang Juanchong's tea, sat there and said with emotion:

"If people in the world can be like the two of you, then I Datang still worry about the surrounding countries, I want to write down this method and send it to the master, see if the master can understand the things, and learn to find a way out for the people over there."

On the way to the state ya, Su Lai, the county magistrate of Ninghai County, and Huo Qisheng, the county magistrate of Huaqing County, led a group of people from the yamen of the two counties to rush anxiously.

Ninghai County Commander Su Lai rode a donkey on the mountain road there, and said to the people behind him: "When I arrived at the place, I explained my sins clearly, and I usually colluded with Zhang Yi to think that the official didn't know?" How's it going now? If you don't get it right, you will be affected. ”
