Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Game of Shangshui County 9
"My lord, after the hall today, Lu Tianshou suddenly made a difficulty, please take a look."
Before noon, the county lieutenant hurried to the county office, looking extremely hurried, and handed the interrogation record to the magistrate.
The magistrate's face was surprised, the overall situation of the secret road had been decided, it was nothing more than the Lu family paying a price, with his understanding of the whole thing, Wang Xiu didn't take Lu Tianshou seriously at all, and he raised his hand lightly. As an old and sophisticated bureaucrat, you don't need to think much to understand Wang Xiu's detached attitude, people are tribute to the identity of the people, and they have the heart to learn the right theory, even if the tribute is lost, and after a few years, it is enough to be qualified to participate in the special performance of the Son of Heaven, or make persistent efforts to win fame, and it is not impossible for the Son of Heaven to be recruited.
Therefore, he is in a good mood, his three-year term of office is about to expire, and he has passed the government and peace for seven years, and his examination is at least middle and upper-class, so he is waiting to enter Beijing to report on his work, run away from the door of the ministers of the imperial court, and then put a big yamen outside.
When he looked at the record, his face suddenly turned blue, he slammed the record on several cases, glared at the county lieutenant angrily, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, sue me, what's going on?" ”
The county lieutenant didn't want Zhixian to be so angry, he looked at the Zhixian who was not moving in panic, and he didn't know what to do. He also wanted to take the Lu family's two handfuls, trying to see if he could hook up Lu Zhenniang, and Xiao Yi took this piece of beautiful meat with righteousness, but he didn't want to get rid of this, so he burst into foul language at that time: It's really unlucky.
Zhixian's face was not good, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just a matter of making trouble, it's just a means, this thing is too hateful." ”
Stirring up trouble is not worth mentioning at all for the Wang family. At this time, the Wang family was festive, and the Xie family complained about Wang Cheng for a long time, always running out in a hurry, and now he finally understood.
"Mother, the fragrant bathhouse co-founded by Daddy and Uncle Niu Shi is about to officially open, I will come back to say to my mother and sister, let's go and see it together."
Not long after breakfast, Wang Xiu was about to go back to the house. Xie Shi also went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, but Wang Qingchang announced the news with a smile.
"I'm going to do something big. What, your daddy and the cow? They mix together, what can they do, and they also open a fragrant bathhouse. ”
Wang Xiu was surprised, he really hadn't paid attention to Wang Cheng, but he didn't want the drawings he took last time to be quietly tinkered with by his father, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Don't look at simple installations, it is not alarmist to say that it will usher in a new era.
"Hehe, mother, don't worry, my father is doing big things, and so is mine." Wang Xiu smiled.
"Daddy's work is naturally a big deal, you, you can't be unlikely." Wang Qing smiled and gently pinched Wang Xiu.
"Oh, mother, my eldest sister bullied me." Wang Xiu dodged exaggeratedly.
"Don't make a fuss, it's not big or small." Xie Shi glanced at his daughter and said, "It turns out that you, this girl, actually partnered with your father to hide it from me." ”
"Mother, my father can go out to do things again, congratulations, I haven't eaten my mother's green onion fried mutton for a long time." Wang Xiu grinned, fried lamb with green onions was his favorite.
"Look at your greed." Xie Shi glanced at his son, and for many days he was puzzled by Wang Cheng's mysterious appearance, and turned into a pool of spring water.
Wang Cheng and Niu Mi secretly planned, after a month of assembly and commissioning, spent nearly 200 yuan to buy the fragrant bathhouse, finally opened, in addition to the two large pools, but also renovated more than 30 compartments, installed showers. In addition, there are more than 20 shower devices on the wall next to the pool, which makes full use of the space and maximizes commercial benefits.
After the hot water is boiled, several strong hired workers use a multi-layer gear winch to transport the hot water to the water tank, and the same is true for the cold water delivery.
One qiē adopts the bathhouse model of later generations, but the compartment is used, which is a little more elegant, and some are changed to manual pumping by electric pumps. However, multi-layer gear winches have already appeared, and the conveyance is not laborious when the amount of water is not large.
Wang Cheng can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, he admires his son from the bottom of his heart, he can't help but have these sophisticated constructions, as well as a detailed description of the shower operation, which saves him a lot of effort, and also allows his old friend Niu Qi to quickly see business opportunities, and things are developing very smoothly.
Their propaganda method is quite unique, and with a direct stroke of the pen, there is a "gentleman loves cleanliness, etiquette cannot be wasted, mountains and rivers are high, and they are happy." ”
Although there are some of them, the meaning is very clear, and the shower room with a compartment can avoid the embarrassment of bathing together, so that those who pay attention to etiquette can also avoid the trouble of boiling water and come in to take a good bath. There are even five premium shower cabins, equipped with showers, small sinks and bed cabinets.
According to the business mode explained by Wang Xiu, the fragrant bathhouse was opened for free for three days, and the old folks came and went at will, and the showers and pools were at their own convenience, and they were named "Tianlin Hall".
Since it's free, it's certainly attractive, and there is an endless stream of people who come to take a bath. It must be said that the shower is still quite novel, many people are rushing to the rain, no need to scoop, with a foot lightly stepped, you can come out of the hot water, you can also soak in the pool for a while, rub your back and then use the shower to flush.
The wine became famous in one day, and after three days it was still crowded, dozens of individual rooms, and even required reservations, and finally had to limit the number of guests.
Niu Qi and Wang Cheng were quite surprised, although they found business opportunities, but they never expected that Wang Xiu's small improvement exceeded their expectations, and the people after bathing all praised the convenience, two yuan for a large room, five yuan for a single room, and twenty yuan for a deluxe single room, which was still in short supply.
“。 The virtuous nephew is really a genius, you look at the third child's horse face, it will be green. "Looking at Rijin Doujin, Niu Mi's mouth couldn't be closed, just outside Tianlin Hall, he spoke a lot of good words to Wang Xiu, just like not asking for money.
Wang Cheng looked at his son with satisfaction, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but smile.
Wang Xiu was so praised by Niu Qi that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at the big yellow tooth mouth with spitting saliva in a daze, and carefully kept his distance, so as not to eat other people's saliva.
"Uncle Shi, you can't rest on your laurels, this little place can earn a few pounds of copper!" He had already had a plan in his heart, and seeing that the two elders were in a good mood, he took the opportunity to propose.
"Virtuous nephew still has a good idea?" Niu Mi's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he didn't know, but he thought he was angry.
Wang Xiu glanced at his father, smiled, and said: "It's just a small county town, and sooner or later the delicate things will be known, so it's better to make a batch of devices as soon as possible, make up the money to go to Wanqiu and Kaifeng Mansion, open a few halls, and you will definitely be able to take the first place in the fragrant bath shop." ”
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, and Niu Mi was even more "angry", and the two nodded in unison.
Niu Mi turned his head to Wang Cheng and said: "Brother, your eldest man is really a genius in my generation, this mention is very good, just like the art of war: surprise, the first one wins." ”
Wang Xiu saw that Niu Qi was serious, and he also pulled out the magic horse art of war, and couldn't help sweating profusely.
Wang Cheng nodded and said, "It's good, it's good, this money." ”
"Brother, don't worry, you and I are half, let's also put the livelihood in the government, Da Lang is right, the small county town doesn't make money!"
Wang Xiu has to admire, these five big and three thick cows are actually a wonderful person who does things decisively, and people can't look good!
At this moment, a voice came: "The two virtuous brothers are here, oops, the two fragrant bathhouses are open, and the elder brother has not arrived for some reason, ashamed, ashamed." ”
Wang Xiu pouted, no need to ask, Zhang Wenshan's weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and there was still that little thing Zhang Qiyuan.
Although everyone understands in their hearts, but in front of the public, they are still polite, to see which one is hot, and where to think of stabbing a knife in the back.
"My brother is lucky, and you came up with a way to be found by your family, which is really unexpected!" The elders talked and laughed hypocritically, and Wang Xiu and Zhang Qiyuan tacitly stepped aside.
Wang Xiu smiled very happily and sincerely, and said: "The luck is good, but I have to ask my classmates to take care of the business." The brother missed the free trial wash, why not go in and wash it today, the younger brother is in charge of the brother and exempts a few pennies of copper. ”
This is a **** naked slap in the face, it is completely a villain's ambition, Zhang Qiyuan hated a toothache, but he had to smile gently on his face, and said: "A gentleman bathes and cleans his body, how can he be in front of the public, this is no different from those barbarians, although the children of Confucius of my generation are bathed in the court, they must also act according to etiquette." ”
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Qiyuan's hypocritical expression, felt like he was about to vomit, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't laugh, if you are known by the fragrant bath shop, I will not give up with you." ”
"By the way, I heard about Lu Tianshou." Zhang Qiyuan seemed to come casually.
"Lord Bo."
Shang didn't have time to speak, listening to the names of several elders, Wang Xiu turned his first glance, but saw the lord of Shangshui County, Bo Youzai, coming out of the door, looking cool, obviously in a good mood, he hurriedly went up to greet Zhang Qiyuan.
"How can you wash it?" Wang Cheng asked cautiously.
Zhu Bo is also a celebrity in the county, surnamed Hong Mingzhen, usually not showing mountains and rivers, but he is a Jinshi in the department, young and promising. He glanced at Wang Xiu lightly, saluted casually, and said with a smile: "As soon as you enter the small room, the soup pool is bubbled, the sky is drenched, the narrow bed is small, combing, scraping, repairing, drenching and cooling, a few closed wind wines, refreshing from the inside out, showering, the idea is ingenious, but it is in line with the way of heaven and man." ”
Zhang Wenshan's face is a little ugly, it seems that the Wang family is in full bloom, Wang Xiu's sugar production is thriving, and Wang Cheng has opened a hall again, which has been affirmed by everyone from the beginning.
"Oh, what a coincidence! Outside the Tianlin Hall, I met two lifters. Hong Zhen looked at Wang Xiu with a smile on his face, but his expression was quite playful.
Wang Xiu smiled, and didn't know if it was okay, but Zhang Qiyuan said respectfully: "I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet adults." ”
Hong Zhen's official position is not big, and the title of Huang Jia is also given to the back of Jinshi, but it does not mean that it can be despised by people, not to mention that people are still young, and it is easy to talk about themselves with people on the official face, not to mention that Zhang Qiyuan is originally polite in the eyes of outsiders.
"I participated in the little official Luming that day, but I never got close, and I read a masterpiece a few days ago, and the more I watched it, the more I tasted it." Hong Zhen only smiled at Zhang Qiyuan, but his eyes turned to Wang Xiu, and his tone was polite.
Masterpiece? Wang Xiu couldn't help but wonder, it was indeed a masterpiece, he also wanted to be too modest, making people feel hypocritical, and said lightly: "If adults talk about it, it's just reasoning, just like mountains and flowing water, good is great." ”
"Big brother, don't be rude." Wang Cheng saw that his son was arrogant, and Kong Hong really didn't like it, so he scolded in a low voice. xh118
