Cheng Linghui looked at it, such a drinking appearance, it would not take much effort, and he would be drunk. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info hurriedly stopped: "Drink less old dishes and eat vegetables." As he spoke, he also gave him a chopstick dish.

Lao Cai didn't listen to it, and Shaxi Daqu poured cup after cup into his mouth, as if drinking cold water.

Cheng Linghui still wants to persuade. Li Tou'er pulled her: "Let him drink." Just his three sticks can't beat a fart. Don't let him get drunk, it's really a good thing to say. Let's drink ours. If you really have something, go and do your business after drinking. I'll leave it to me here. ”

Sure enough, after a while, the old dish lay on the table unconscious. Li Tou'er let the child sit on the stool, and with one hand he clamped the drunken old vegetables under his armpit. Xiang Cheng Linghui said: "You take care of yourself." Don't forget to come back to me. Let's go on drinking. ”

Cheng Linghui looked for his two fellow villagers. The two of them had already sat at the other table and ate.

took out a tael of silver and put it on the table, and the three of them walked out of the old restaurant. Huang Po, who was far away, saw her and waved her handkerchief to greet: "I said why the 'hemp tail finch' (magpie) was calling at the door early in the morning, it turned out that the third master was coming." Come in and sit down? ”

Cheng Linghui hates this old woman very much. The two good daughters have all let this old thing in the eyes of money be harmed. Hearing this, he said, "No, I still have something." That's it. ”

Mrs. Huang raised her hand: "Then next time you come, don't forget to come and sit." ”

Cheng Linghui, who listened, had goosebumps all over her body, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Together with the villager: "Sanhui, where is our carriage?" "Because he went to the old restaurant with Li Tou'er, the carriage didn't know who took it away. The two were inevitably worried.

Cheng Linghui smiled: "Don't worry." It's okay to keep it. ”

The three of them walked all the way to the mouth of the porcelain kiln. People along the way greeted each other: "Third master, let's go." Cheng Linghui responded one by one. When they arrived at the exit of the porcelain kiln, a half-grown child with a carriage was already waiting there.

Cheng Linghui saw that the child was very faced, and asked, "Whose child are you?" "Well, I don't even know who showed her the car and fed the horses. Now the two fellow villagers have opened their eyes.

The child said, "I am the fifth child of the Zhang family." ”

"Zhang Wang?"

The child shook his head: "No, my father's name is Zhang Dingshou, and my father's name is Zhang Zhanchun." ”

Cheng Linghui suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turned out to be them." He took out a dozen copper coins from his bosom and threw them to the kid: "Buy you candy to eat." ”

The half-grown child caught the copper coin, puffed out his cheeks and said, "I've grown up, and I don't eat sugar anymore." I don't want your money. My master said, if you are free, take me as an apprentice. ”

Cheng Linghui smiled: "What do you want to learn?" ”

The kid didn't think about it: "Learn the skills." ”

Cheng Linghui got into the car: "I have a lot of skills." Let's talk about it when you think about what to learn. "Push the carriage forward.

When they had gone a long way, the boy suddenly came to his senses and cried out, "Pay you back." Cheng Linghui ignored him and drove into the city gate.

The two fellow villagers had never seen such a money-throwing person, and they were distressed and admired: "Sanhui, how much money did you throw out this morning?" ”

Cheng Linghui thought for a while: "No way, you look at the old dishes like that." How can you still have the heart to do business? You can't watch them get hungry. ”

Another said, "Then you shouldn't have given that kid that much money." Didn't you just feed you a horse and watch the car for a while? ”

Cheng Linghui smiled: "Uncle, you don't know about this." I have some friendship with the Zhang family. When I see someone else's child for the first time, I can't always be empty-handed. ”

The fellow villager was very envious: "Sanhui, you know so many people." ”

Cheng Linghui said with a smile: "It's just a change of heart. The porcelain that Zhanchun burned delicately. It's not easy to produce. He is not good at management, and he refuses to abandon his exquisite craftsmanship to burn those big road goods. So, it was a very difficult time before. Later, I met him by accident and helped him sell it a few times. Today, he is also well-known in the world of porcelain craftsmen. ”

"Oops." Tongxiang suddenly remembered something: "That Zhang Zhanchun is that porcelain Zhang?" ”

Cheng Linghui nodded.

The two fellow villagers looked at Cheng Linghui's eyes at this time, it was like looking at a diluted baby.

That porcelain Zhang has only risen in recent years, and everyone in the Kaizhou Mansion area. Kaizhou white porcelain is already well-known in China. The porcelain of the porcelain kiln is the white porcelain of the white porcelain, and the fine of the boutique. The color is like jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime. That's it, he is also good at making all kinds of strange utensils. Or rugged like a jade peak, or splashed like a flying spring. In short, do whatever you want, basically nothing is the same. A piece of porcelain can sometimes top someone else's kiln for a year.

It's just that, as Cheng Linghui said, it's not easy to produce. Sometimes you can't burn a single fine product in a year.

Despite this, the name of Zhang Zhanchun is still getting louder and louder. He is eccentric, ordinary people can't find a way to have a deep friendship with him, who knew that his grandson actually went on to show Cheng Linghui the car and feed the horse.

When the three of them entered Kaizhou Mansion, it was not good to lead the carriage around on the street. I left the carriage at the dealership and went out into the street to find a grain shop.

There are many springs in the capital of Kaeju. There are ten large springs in the city alone, and there are countless small springs. That's why it has the title of the capital of white springs.

Because of the abundance of water, good rice is produced here. The rest of the food is even more abundant. It is a rare land of fish and rice in the Northland. But it's only around the capital of Kaeju. Further north to the boundary of Linzhou and Xichuan, it is a saline-alkali land with no vegetation. The water that the people ate was bitter and astringent. After passing Xichuan to Dingzhou Mansion, the Haihe River, Hutuo River and other big rivers converge, and it is another vast ocean. There are many people on the water. If you don't talk about it, it's far away. Let's turn around and talk about Cheng Linghui and his party.

Because of the drought in the past two years, more people came to the capital to buy grain than in the past. In the past, there was no price bureau or anything to stabilize prices. Whatever is good to sell, the price will naturally rise. When Cheng Linghui and the three of them arrived at Kaizhou Mansion, they found that the white rice that was originally five wen and one bucket had grown into ten wen. The people of this place do not grow wheat, so wheat is not cheap.

It's all something that is eaten in the mouth, and the price of rice has risen, and those other cereals have also risen. Not to mention that the main product of this Kaizhou capital is rice, and everything else is scarce. Whole grains, nothing is cheap.

If the three of them had gone directly to Kaizhou Mansion at the beginning, they would not have turned around at the mouth of the porcelain kiln. These two older fellow villagers may not necessarily listen to Cheng Linghui's words. Now, the two of them are Wei Cheng Linghui. Cheng Linghui is what she says.

Cheng Linghui calculated an account. This year, Shaxi County is not only affected by drought. The situation of the entire Nanzhili, as well as a certain Nan that shares the border with Nanzhili, is not optimistic. If you want to sell grain elsewhere, the price may be cheaper, but the consumption on the road is a big one. Not cost-effective. So I decided to sell it in the capital of Kaizhou.

The price of grain has risen, and more than 130 taels of silver can only buy half of the rice grain in the original plan. Cheng Linghui didn't dare to be too big, so he asked one of his fellow villagers to go back to the village to report the news, and by the way, he brought a carriage to find a suitable grain shop with another fellow villager.

There are many shops in Kaizhou Prefecture, and there are countless grain shops. Cheng Linghui and the others walked and observed, and suddenly a signboard came into view - Geng Ji.

Cheng Linghui's heart moved, and she shook her head again, blaming herself for making a fuss. There are many people with the surname Geng in the world.

The curtain of the Geng Ji grain shop is very small, and it is very inconspicuous among the many shops that preach and open. Cheng Linghui took a fancy to a grain store next to it, and walked in with her legs raised.

Cheng Linghui has sold porcelain, ironware, gold and silver jewelry, silk and fur, and even illicit salt, but he has never bought or sold grain. She didn't know how to do it, so when she walked in, she looked next to the grain that was holding it.

The young man hurried over to greet him. Cheng Linghui looked at it for a while, and saw that the store was full of people, and those guys were very kind to people. It is also fair to give the head. He said, "I don't know if your shopkeeper is here?" ”

The guy pointed behind the counter: "That's not. ”

Cheng Linghui looked up, the counter was very high, and the top of a person's head was faintly visible behind it.

She walked over and called, "Shopkeeper." ”

Behind the counter lifted a white face with a few strands of beard on the chin. Cheng Linghui almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Since meeting Deng Ku, Cheng Linghui no longer dares to easily judge a person's age from his appearance.

It's just that the person in front of her is very tender, but she is clearly dressed as a woman. It's not unusual for you to dress as a man, because Cheng Linghui herself is also a fake phoenix. You shouldn't have a beard on your chin.

Bai Fufu's tender face and a few strands of beard, in Cheng Linghui's eyes, are similar to a child wearing adult clothes. Isn't it funny?

The shopkeeper looked up and saw a young junior standing in front of the counter, looking like he was about to smile or not, his eyes suddenly sank, and his tone was very bad: "What does this guest officer do?" The voice was low, presumably deliberately speaking in a calm voice.

Cheng Linghui didn't come to have fun, so she immediately put away her funny thoughts and said, "Can the shopkeeper take a step to speak?" ”

The shopkeeper pushed the abacus: "I still have to settle accounts, so let's talk about something here." ”

Cheng Linghui said: "I want to sell grain." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Cheng Linghui with a look of 'this is not nonsense'. Cheng Linghui lowered her voice: "I bought a lot." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at her coldly, a little indifferent: "How much?" ”

Cheng Linghui stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand stones." ”

The shopkeeper raised his head, looked at her for a moment, and closed the ledger: "Follow me." ”

Only then did Cheng Linghui understand why she couldn't see anyone behind the counter. The shopkeeper was very thin, and he was as tall as Hua Ruyan, but much thinner than Hua Ruyan. It's really like a half-grown child who hasn't grown up, and insists on pretending to be an adult.

The shopkeeper led them into the courtyard behind the curtain.

There was a pomegranate tree in the yard, and the flowers had withered and fell to the ground red, which at first glance looked like a blanket under the tree. The shopkeeper let Cheng Linghui and the others to the stone table under the pomegranate tree and greeted the house. After a while, a slender girl with long hands and feet came with tea.

Then the shopkeeper asked, "What do you call it?" ”

Cheng Linghui said: "His surname is Cheng, and the word is silent." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked Cheng Linghui up and down again: "Have you read a book?" ”

Cheng Linghui said: "I have read it for a few years. ”

The shopkeeper said: "My surname is Chu, Chu Fengsheng." You can call me Brother Chu. I'll call you Brother Cheng, how about it? ”

Cheng Linghui looked at her serious appearance and couldn't help but smile in her heart: "Yes." Chu Fengsheng spoke simply, without dragging his feet, and Cheng Linghui couldn't help but be infected. It becomes painful.

Chu Fengsheng didn't look at the fellow villagers who came with Cheng Linghui, and asked Cheng Linghui: "What are you buying so much food for?" ”

"Eat."

Chu Fengsheng looked at her a few times and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he said: "Fifteen Wen." ”

Cheng Linghui was not annoyed: "There is no such thing as a price increase." ”

Chu Fengsheng said: "You buy a lot, so it's at this price." (To be continued.) )
