Chapter 514: I'll Build You a Retirement Villa
Xia Hongsheng returned to Jingyang, and spent the whole day hanging out with Yuexian, or chatting with Youji, who was moved to the Marquis of Jingyang, or teasing Li Tai, entertaining and teaching, and subtly laying a foundation for him, all of which made Xia Hongsheng relaxed and leisurely, leisurely and happy.
On this day, Xia Hongsheng went out to visit the market as usual, and drank a bowl of spicy soup in the bazaar - this spicy soup is not difficult to make now, and there is already pepper at this time. While drinking spicy soup, Xia Hongsheng felt proud. Because all the drinking and eating things on this Jingyang set were all taught by him to the villagers. Because of Jingyangji, Xia Hongsheng's farmers are now considered to have entered a "well-off" situation compared with those in other places.
This is to enrich the banker, but also to facilitate themselves! Xia Hongsheng proudly pressed the last piece of fried dough sticks into the spicy soup, dipped it in the soup and put it into his mouth, and drank the last sip at the bottom of the bowl.
"Gone!" put a few pennies on the edge of the bowl, Xia Hongsheng got up and left, and the farmer who sold Hu spicy soup behind him bowed to Xia Hongsheng, and they were all sincerely grateful to Xia Hongsheng. These things were all taught to them by Xia Hongsheng one by one. made them rich and rich, but Xia Hongsheng himself never ate them in vain. The farmers are grateful, when the rent is collected every year, the other Zhuangzi collect grain, and Xia Hongsheng collects copper money, so the farmers deliberately take a lot more, but they are always returned by the account room and the housekeeper, saying that the Hou Ye said that the amount set is how much, and there is no need to pay more. So all the farmers petitioned to ask the owner to raise the rent, but there has been no response so far.
Three carriages came at the entrance. The carriage stopped at the intersection of Jingyangji. A few people came down from above.
Jingyang has a "market administrator". So he walked over and looked at the few people who came down, an old man with an extraordinary bearing, a middle-aged man with a light smile, and a few young ladies followed behind. So he immediately saluted the old man and said, "This old man is good, you have also seen it in our Jingyang Collection." There are a lot of people, and the carriages and horses are passing, which is easy to hurt people and is not thorough. If you want to visit our Jingyang set, drive you and walk, if you are old and inconvenient, give a small instruction, and the small one will help you buy it. If you want to go to Zhuangzi, you see, the cement road on the side is smooth. From that road, you can go straight to our Zhuangzi. ”
The old man had a very good attitude when he saw the visitor. A little surprised, he asked, "Dare to ask the little brother what ......?"
"Back to the old man's words, thanks to the son's affordability, let the little one be the ...... of this Jingyang set" The man scratched his head and said: "The name given by the son is called the administrator of Jingyang set...... I don't know what this little one means, but I only know where the duty is, which is to supervise the order of the market, not to let the vendors litter, bully the guests, and for the convenience of the guests, if there is a question, there will be help. If any vendor violates the rules set by Childe, the first time he says it, tell him to correct it immediately. The second time, he was fined money and rewarded to a well-received merchant. The third time, he was expelled from Jingyangji and was never allowed to do business here again. However, if there are customers who are unreasonable, the small ones will also defend the vendors. ”
"Huh! That's a surprise! The old man was surprised, smiled and said to the middle-aged man behind him, then turned to the man and said, "Thank you...... Jingyang set the administrator, and the old man let people take the carriage. As for the old man and others, they are about to visit this Jingyang set. ”
"Boss, please take it, and the little one will retire." The man nodded, bowed politely, and went back to the hut next to him.
"Hehe, the old man has long heard that this Jingyang set is known as the small West Market, and when I see it today, it is really as prosperous as the West Market." The old man said to the middle-aged man.
"Xiaode has been to Jingyang Market a few times, and it is different from other markets, and it is also quite nostalgic to teach Xiaode." The middle-aged man stroked his beard and smiled.
The person who came was Yan Shigu and Xu Xiaode, and the carriage of Xu Xiaode's family met with Yan Shigu's carriage halfway, and they all came to Xia Hongsheng, so they walked together.
The crowd walked along this long street, and because they left early, they arrived early, and it was time for breakfast.
Xu Qixian's eyes on the side rolled slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around quickly, and after a while, there were a few more cakes in his hand.
"Master, uncle, this is Bai Ji Bao, it is very delicious, the cake is crispy and soft, and the meat filling is glutinous and mellow." One of the four people, one by one, because there was a paper wrap underneath, so Yan Shigu took it directly, and when he went down, he couldn't help but light up in his eyes. But I heard Xu Qixian introduce again: "Master, there is mutton soup over there, haven't you had an upset stomach during this time?" That mutton soup is the most heartwarming for the stomach! ”
"Hehe, this Jingyang set is really dazzling!" Yan Shigu smiled and glanced back and forth.
"Master, the two most interesting things on this Jingyang set are the food and those things that are played. Especially this food, morning, noon and evening are different, if you want to eat all, three meals a day, I am afraid that it will take more than a month of effort! Xu Qixian introduced Yan Shigu, who came to Jingyang for the first time.
Yan Shigu nodded frequently and said with a smile: "Even a bazaar can do so well, the old man is even more curious about that Jingyang Academy." Some time ago, when several people went back, they were full of praise, which aroused the novelty of the old man. Let's take a look today. Let's go, and go to Jingshi first, and go to Jingyang Academy to have a look. What is the matter with filial piety? If there is any inconvenience, you don't have to accompany the old man. ”
Xu Xiaode shook his head with a smile and replied, "Today's holiday is fine." I came here just to relax, if I can accompany Lord Yan Jingyang Academy to visit, it is the luck of filial piety. ”
When a few people came to the door of the Hou Mansion, they saw Xia Hongsheng carrying a few egg scones in his hand, and turned around from the market and returned to the door.
"Brother Xia!" A crisp shout.
Xia Hongsheng was suddenly surprised and turned around and blurted out: "Hui'er! ”
Only then did he see Yan Shigu and Xu Xiaode again, and immediately gave the things in his hand to Qi Yong to hold, and ran over in three steps and two steps, bowing and saluting: "Meet Yan Shi!" Meet Uncle Xu! I didn't know that Master Yan would come today, and the student was rude. ”
Yan Shigu looked at Xia Hongsheng with a smile, then at Xu Hui, turned his head to Xia Hongsheng and said: "Don't be polite, the old man came here today during the mid-year holiday, because a few days ago I heard that a few people went back to praise Jingyang Academy, and they were curious, so they came over to take a look." ”
Xia Hongsheng was taken aback, and said in his heart, don't look at it, you just come to Jingyang Academy to retire! I'll build you a retirement villa! (To be continued.) )
