A sumptuous breakfast was disturbed by the court dispute thousands of miles away, and everyone was unable to eat.
The old man, who was still shining when he entered, was even more shocked by Tang Yi's remarks, and finally he was helped out of Tang Ji's restaurant by his son, and I don't know how he was helped out of Tang Ji's food shop.
And what about Tang Yi... It doesn't seem to be pleasant either.
After sending the old man away, Tang Yi was also unspeakably depressed in his heart. This was the first time he came into contact with the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty for more than half a year after he was reborn, and thus he saw the style of the Great Song Dynasty scribes.
The kind of literati ethics of serving the country with fists and serving the people wholeheartedly is rare in China after at least a thousand years.
It is precisely this kind of literati style that aroused Tang Yi's already undisturbed heart.
While Tang Yi secretly admired, he couldn't help but feel distressed and sorry for it.
The innovation led by Fan Zhongyan not only failed to change anything, but pushed himself to death.
Tang Yi knew that Fan Zhongyan's tragedy was just beginning....
He would wait four years in Dengzhou for the court to rekindle the fire of innovation.
However, what awaited was even more frantic persecution.
Where did he think of it! The official family of his allegiance to the whole life is cowardly!! The courage to innovate has long been lost.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed those people to change the law and toss him...
From the expiration of Fan Zhi's term of office in Dengzhou in 1049 to the death of the old man in a foreign land in 1052, the old man went from Dengzhou to Suzhou, and was sent from Suzhou to Qingzhou, and moved to Yingzhou shortly after taking office. What's the difference between this and murder!?
In just three years. Fan Zhongyan, who dragged the sick body, traveled to many places, almost traveled through most of the Song Dynasty, and finally died in Xuzhou due to poverty and illness.
Until the last moment, a generation of famous ministers also wrote to Renzong and said: I am sick and can't walk, so I will recuperate in Xuzhou and go to office a few days later.
.....
The extremely utilitarian and unkind remarks also truly expressed Tang Yi's heart, and he felt worthless for Fan Zhongyan.
Tang Yi is not a utilitarian person, but he is willing to be utilitarian once for the ancient famous minister who worries about the worries of the world.
Because he's worth it.....
.......
"What's wrong with Dalang?"
When Ma Dawei, the son of Ma Laosan, came back with flour, meat, and vegetables, Tang Yi was still sitting in the store in a daze, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Tang Yi came back to his senses, "Big brother is back?" β
Ma Dawei wiped his sweat, "Well, I'm back." What's wrong with you? Why can't you give up? β
"It's nothing...."Tang Yi pursed his lips and smiled, diverting the topic. Just in time to come back, call Ma Bo and Aunt Ma over, let's discuss something. After speaking, Tang Yi turned back to the counter.
Now there is still some time before the lunch starts, there is no work in the store, and after Ma Laosan and his wife came over, Tang Yi forcibly calmed down and took out the account book.
"Our restaurant has been open for more than half a year, and the business is good." Tang Yi said while flipping through the account book.
Ma Laosan heard that Tang Yi was settling accounts, and hurriedly stopped: "It's good that the account Dalang knows it in his heart, what can I do with me?" β
Tang Yi said: "Although we are two family names, we have long been like a family. Family, of course, I have to let you know how much money the restaurant makes! β
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Ma Laosan hurriedly said. "It's good that Da Lang has a calculation in his heart, I'm a rough person, and I can't understand what I say."
Tang Yi reluctantly closed the account book.
"Then let's not talk about the account, anyway, I have made a lot of money in the past six months, and the account is just a passing, mainly I want to discuss another thing with you."
"What?"
"The eldest brother is already twenty-four and can't be delayed any longer. I think, let's discuss and discuss together, see which girl is in the boudoir, and hurry up to tell the eldest brother about a family, and it will be good for you to have a matter in your heart. β
When Ma Dawei heard this, his face turned red and he lowered his head slightly.
Hey..... Ma Laosan smiled bitterly, "Wait a little longer!" β
Aunt Ma said: "It's good that Da Lang has this heart, but if he wants to marry a protΓ©gΓ©, he doesn't have a bride price of 180 yuan, so don't even think about it, no one wants to send his daughter out to suffer." β
Tang Yi smiled, "We are not in the embarrassment of half a year ago, the business of the restaurant is so good, and there is still a surplus for the eldest brother to marry a protΓ©gΓ©." β
Ma Laosan was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Enough to marry?" β
"More than enough!"
"That's not going to work either."
Ma Laosan pondered for a long time, and Fang said with difficulty: "This shop is the foundation of Da Lang's future life, and he has to save a small surplus." Da Lang will be fifteen years old in the next year, and he has also reached the age of marriage, so he can't delay Da Lang's lifelong event for the sake of Dawei. β
Tang Yi's heart was warm, and he secretly said that he was lucky to be such an honest family.
"How else would I like you to listen to the account, we have made a lot of money."
"How much did you earn?"
"Excluding the use of the four of us in the past six months, there are almost more than 400 copper coins, less than 500!"
"So much?!" Not only Ma Laosan, but also Aunt Ma and Ma Dawei were all shocked by this number.
You must know that during the Qingli period, prices were very stable, and Song money was quite valuable. One stone (about 120 catties) of polished rice is only four or five hundred yuan, and the monthly consumption of an ordinary family of three will not exceed two yuan.
A middle- and lower-level peasant family, the total family property is not more than 100 yuan, which also includes a ploughing ox, a few acres of fields and houses.
It is unbelievable that such a restaurant can have a balance of nearly 500 yuan in half a year.
"We are the only one in Dengzhou, and the price is higher. After careful calculation, the price of each raw decoction is three yuan, and the net profit of two yuan is two yuan. Forty pots per pot, an average of fifty pots a day, plus the income from kimchi and cold salad, the profit of a day is more than four dollars. After half a year, there is an income of more than 700 yuan, and it is no problem to remove the use and leave some unforeseen needs, and take out 500 yuan for the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law. β
Tang Yi told Ma Laosan in detail, and Ma Laosan knew that such an inconspicuous snack shop could earn so much.
In the past, he still felt that Tang Yi spent money lavishly, and although the food shop business was good, he couldn't withstand such a squander, and he was thinking about how to persuade Tang Yi.
Tang Yi smiled and said, "This time you are always relieved, right?" Hurry up and think about which girl is still eye-catching. β
"In this way, I can give the big legend a kiss, but not so much."
Tang Yi didn't care, "If you marry, you can marry a good family, and you're not afraid of spending money!" β
In ancient times, there was no free love, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, and the two husbands and wives did not see each other's appearance until they got into the same bed.
Therefore, to measure the quality of a family, the most intuitive reflection is the value of the bride price. If you have money to marry a beautiful and virtuous person, you can only find an ordinary general if you don't have money. Even though women in the Song Dynasty were not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were reduced to men's accessories, but in the matter of marriage, they were still very realistic.
"How about the second daughter of Li Shunzi's family in Xigang outside the city?" Now that it has been decided, everyone is no longer twisting, and Aunt Ma has already begun to go through all the young ladies to be married in her mind, and she immediately has a candidate.
"Which Lee Soon-ja?"
"It's the vegetable farmer Li Laohan who often supplies our fresh vegetables, I have seen his second daughter, although her appearance is not outstanding, but her body is tough, she can give birth at a glance, and after passing the door, she is also a good helper."
"Oh...."Ma Laosan understood. The girl has some impressions, but she is not a good match. β
.....
Tang Yi looked at the enthusiasm of the old couple's discussion, and couldn't help but cry out for Ma Dawei, who was tough and a good match? If the word tough is used on girls, it doesn't seem to be very good, right?
"What do you think of the daughter of the Zhang butcher's family in the east of the city?" Ma Laosan proposed a new choice.
Tang Yi rolled his eyes, yes! This time, I picked another heavyweight.
"Not bad, either. It's just that Zhang Butcher may not be able to look down on our maids, or Li Shunzi's family. β
β......β
"Can the second elder listen to me?" Tang Yi couldn't listen anymore and interrupted.
"This is the eldest brother's life's work, can we also listen to his opinion?"
Ma Laosan's eyes stood up, and he was rarely strong. "This kind of thing has always been Lao Tzu's decision, and the son obeys the order, ask him what to do?"
Tang Yi didn't follow: "At least ask the eldest brother, if you have anything you like, it's good to make a reference." β
As he spoke, he turned to Ma Dawei and said, "Big brother, do you have a favorite little lady?" β
When Ma Dawei encountered this incident in his twenties, he also changed into a quail, his face turned red, and he bowed his head and was silent.
Seeing that he was silent, Tang Yi hurriedly said: "This is a lifetime thing, you are talking!" β
"I.... I don't want to get married yet. "Ma Dawei, I've been for a long time...
"What?" Ma Laosan was in a hurry. "In the past, I didn't have the money to marry you, but now Da Lang pays you to marry a daughter-in-law, if you dare not marry, I will break your legs."
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, on the issue of inheriting incense, Ma Dawei dared to say a word, and Ma Laosan really dared to break his legs.
"Forget it, it's all up to your parents."
Ga.... Tang Yi was stunned, looking at Ma Dawei's meaning, it was not that he didn't want to get married, but that he had a sweetheart.
"You can't forget it!" Tang Yi shouted: "You can figure it out, this lifelong event, good or bad, is a lifetime." Now, if you get by, you will be the one who will suffer. β
"Is there any?" Ma Laosan urged hatefully. "You can't beat a fart with a stick, how do you look like a man!"
Speaking of which, Ma Dawei knew that the time had come to decide his fate, so he gritted his teeth
"Yes!"
"Who!"
"Zhang Siniang...."
"Which Zhang Siniang?"
"Fulong Miscellaneous Shop, the youngest daughter of Boss Zhang's family."
Burst...... Tang Yi sprayed.
The heart says big brother....
You're really eye-catching....
But......
But this Zhang Siniang is a bit difficult! Can you pick an easy one to use!?
