In the afternoon, Zhao Ran returned to his room and pulled out a menu. According to the estimation of two meals for more than 160 people in the Taoist Academy, the value of the goods is about three taels of silver. The daily money allocated by the account office for meals is six taels of silver, and the difference in the middle is naturally the oil and water of the kitchen fireworkers.

According to the content of eavesdropping on the conversation between Zhang Ze and Gou Er at night, Zhao Ran knew that of the difference in the price of the three taels, it would be handed over to Li Fantou and Guo Caitou for one tael, and the remaining one or two would be carried in the chef's own pocket. After a simple calculation, I estimated the extra money of everyone in the second room of the meal.

In terms of food, Li Fantou and Guo Caitou each have more than 300 taels of silver that fall into their pockets every year, and Zhonghuoju makes silver according to the number of days they are in charge of cooking, and there are about 50 taels of silver per year, which is far more than the monthly silver released by the Taoist Academy - Zhao Ran's own monthly silver is one tael.

Although Zhao Ran no longer cares about this "little money", sometimes when he thinks about his days in Zhaozhuang, he can't help but sigh with emotion.

Zhao Ran was carrying the silver he had retrieved from the account room, and was about to go out to buy at the small market at the bottom of the mountain, but he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a merchant and vendor wearing a triangular soft hair.

The merchant peddler squeezed into the door with a smile and smiled at Zhao Ran: "Daochang Zhao, the little surname is Yu, who is engaged in grain and vegetable trading, and there is a butcher shop at home, which is a small business, and the main thing is to rely on the Taoist chiefs to give him food." I heard that Daochang Zhao was in charge of the kitchen tomorrow, and the little one rushed over to listen to you. ”

The fireworker is not a formal Taoist, but for the ordinary people, where they can distinguish so much, they are all called Taoists, and Zhao Ran is also called by the other party.

Zhao Ranxin said that this guy is also clever, and he knows that he should take the initiative, but he also saves himself from running errands. Then he said: "Boss Yu is well-informed. As he spoke, he let the other into the room.

Zhao Ran handed the purchase list he had written to the other party and said, "Boss Yu, settle the account." ”

Boss Yu took it and read it quickly, took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Ran: "Daochang Zhao, this is the list I prepared in advance, the ingredients you need, I have almost all on this list, only this blood sausage is out of stock, but it doesn't matter, the small one will immediately go down the mountain and let the shop pour it out overnight, and it will definitely be delivered early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Ran looked at the list handed over by the other party, the list was crookedly written with the names of more than ten dishes, followed by the quantity and price, and after reading it, he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly, this surname Yu is bullying me newcomer?

Zhao Ran is not a gentleman, before he entered Wuji Courtyard, his family was from a farming background, and he had to live his life little by little, so he naturally knew the price well. According to Boss Yu's list, the prices of vegetables and rice grains are much higher than the market price, and it doesn't matter if it's a little higher, who will make the Taoist Institute a big sheep? But if it's too high, it won't work, if it is settled at this price, three taels of silver can't be held at all, at least four taels will go up.

Although Zhao Ran has six taels of silver, only four taels can be used, one or two of which still belongs to his own "kickback", of course, he can't settle the payment according to this.

He endured it, didn't get angry, and patiently discussed: "Boss Yu, sixty wen for rice, this is the market price of high-grade white rice in the county town Fenghui rice line, the Taoist Institute buys it all year round, and it is a large purchase, and the price is no problem if it is pressed to fifty wen." Why did you get the price of rice to 90 yuan? And this back shoulder meat, 20 catties cost 1,000 yuan? Boss Yu, it's too expensive, right?"

Boss Yu smiled: "Daoist Zhao, the Taoist Academy is not short of this money, it's just a matter of you raising your hand, besides, I also have to hire someone to send it to the mountain, right?"

Zhao Ran shook his head and disagreed: "Definitely not, our business can be long-term, but your price must be fair." Besides, I don't have hens on my menu, so I'll talk about these six hens next time. ”

Boss Yu snorted and said, "You can't say that... This price should be considered fair, but the small one has been discussed with Zhang Daochang and Gou Daochang. As for this old hen, Daochang Zhang had already decided, saying that he wanted to drink chicken soup, but the little one was sent today, but Zhao Daochang didn't want it, and the little one didn't know how to reply. ”

When Zhao Ran heard this, his face turned cold: "Boss Yu, please go back." I'll find someone to buy the ingredients for tomorrow's temple. ”

Boss Yu's face also changed, sneered a few times, and walked away.

Zhao Ran shook his head, got up and closed the door, and walked towards the market under the mountain. After strolling around the market for a while, Zhao Ran bought white rice at a Jinji rice shop, and asked the shopkeeper to help purchase vegetables, vegetables and fish, which cost less than three taels in total. The shopkeeper agreed, and then sent it to the mountain gate, and Zhao Ran Shi Ran went back to Wuji Courtyard.

After dinner, Zhao Ran waited for a long time for the shopkeeper to deliver the ingredients, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and wanted to go down the mountain to urge, but when he was halfway up the mountain, he saw the shopkeeper's panic Zhang was running up the stone steps, and was stopped by Zhao Ran: "Jin shopkeeper, what's wrong? What do I want?"

The golden shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Daochang Zhao, it's not good, the ingredients you asked for were all ready, but the guys just sent them to the foot of the mountain, and I don't know where a bunch of splashes came from...... The guys got a good beating, and things were ruined......"

When Zhao Ran heard this, he immediately remembered Boss Yu who came to sell goods in the afternoon, as for who gave the surname Yu so bold, no need to ask, it must be Jin Ze and Gou Er.

After more than a month of silence, these two guys finally couldn't help but make a move!

Zhao Ran suppressed his anger and said to the shopkeeper Jin: "Don't worry, old Jin, the guys are injured, ask Mr. Pharmacy to see the injury, and I will pay for the medicine." It doesn't matter if the thing is gone, I will give it to you at the original price, and I won't let you bear this loss. I think you can also see that I have encountered some difficulties here, and some people deliberately make it difficult for me. Let me ask you, are you still willing to take this business?"

The golden shopkeeper hesitated: "The villain is a cheap businessman, but I am afraid that he will not be able to help the Taoist." ”

Zhao Ran smiled: "What you can do and what you can't do, I know in my heart, and I won't deliberately make it difficult for you." However, there are indeed some risks in this, if you are afraid, go back, we should have never dealt with each other, if you are willing to come forward, the ingredients of Wuji Courtyard will be handed over to you in the future. ”

The shopkeeper Jin's face changed several times, and he finally gritted his teeth: "Daochang Zhao, since you said so, our old Jin will have the courage to take it." What should happen next, I will listen to Zhao Daochang's instructions. ”

Zhao Ran patted the golden shopkeeper on the shoulder, praised "good courage", and took him into Wuji Courtyard, and went directly to the clean room to find Guan Er.

Guan Er was enjoying the shade in the small courtyard, and while picking his feet, he was farting and bragging with Zhou Huai and others, and when he saw Zhao Ran coming, he immediately got up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, it's just right, after two days of rest, we are thinking about going to Shiquan County to play." The first few times you said there was something, but this time you must not shirk it!"

Zhao Ran nodded: "Okay, this time Xiu Mu will go with everyone, and the expenses will be counted on me!"

The people in the clean room and the enclosure immediately cheered.

Zhao Ran pulled Guan Er aside and said the matter from beginning to end, Guan Er immediately became anxious, scolded a few words, and was about to call everyone to copy the guys.

"Brother Zhao, you are relieved, these two things are really blind, I wanted to beat them last time, but you stopped me and didn't do anything!

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Ran grabbed Guan Er, who was thunderous, "That's not how things work." Who's doing the trouble, this is obvious, but sometimes we can't pick out what to do! Who are those people who are the people surnamed Yu, and the guys surnamed Yu must have been instructed by Zhang Ze and Gou Er. If you go to the door with a group of people like this, the matter will become a big problem, and they will deny it when the time comes. ”

Guan Er heard this, and said angrily: "Then what do you say?

Zhao Ran smiled: "It's easy to do! Use the way of others to govern their bodies, people have started, let's follow the cat and draw the tiger, just learn!"
