Chapter 233: Look at the scene
It rained heavily almost all night, and in the early morning, the sun was shining brightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Jinhe Wharf, in the corner of the second floor of the Li Family Warehouse, in a watchtower that is half a floor high, stands Li Tong and Ning Da shopkeepers, looking at the Changhai Warehouse that has just begun to get busy.
The Changhai Warehouse is an industry in the name of Li Tong's grandmother, and it is now under the name of Mrs. Zhang. The Changhai warehouse is full of peppercorns from Maochang Xing.
Li Tong squinted at the bench set up in the yard of the Changhai Warehouse and spread a rough mat, which was about to dry peppercorns.
The shopkeeper of Ning Da sighed, "The pepper business of Hanyuan Mansion is ruined in the hands of Maochang Xing." ā
"Hmm." Li Tong responded plausibly and paused for a moment, "It's not that He Zongxiu is doing business very well. ā
"It depends on who says it." Ning Da's shopkeeper laughed dryly, "Before Second Master Wen left, he talked to me about this, Mrs. He, who married into the Suiguo Mansion, is the sister-in-law of Uncle He's sister-in-law, Second Master Wen said that the custom of the He family to make housework is not one generation or two generations, this Qiao Zong'er, who is a confidential confidant for the uncle, how can the He family's house be willing to fall into the field of outsiders, and it must be held in the palm of his hand." ā
"Hmm." Li Tong was a little stunned when he heard Ning Da's shopkeeper mention Second Master Wen, and received a letter yesterday saying that Second Master Wen had entered the boundary of Jiangnan West Road, and along the way, he was in too much hurry, I don't know if his body can hold it, this trip is extremely troublesome.
"He family's room, who else can there be? can only come forward with Uncle He, Uncle He's eldest son and grandson, who was raised as a son of the sect since he was a child, and this is a business...... He's still smart, at least he learns like he does, that is, he learns like he does, and he thinks that this business doesn't have any flowers. ā
"How is Shopkeeper He doing now?"
"The shopkeeper He is old, he rolled up the cover and went home to care for the elderly, life is good, we have several shopkeepers in Shu are good friends with him, and he often comes and goes."
"Hmm."
"In fact, even if Uncle He doesn't speak, the shopkeeper He doesn't want to do it in Maochangxing, saying that Maochangxing starts from the shopkeeper of Zhu, that is, the nepotism is connected to the nepotism, and the relationship climbs the relationship, the shopkeeper Zhu Da is the son of the He family, and there is a sister who turned out to be the big girl next to Uncle He, and later accepted the aunt, and died of dystocia when giving birth, and then the next layer of the shopkeeper, all of them are the relationship in the house, and then down, either there is a little face in the house, or even the shopkeeper of Zhu Da and the shopkeeper on the second floor, even the guy, you have to find a relationship to get in, otherwise, When I went in, I was also a third- or fourth-class guy who worked as a coolie. Alas, this relative pulls on his relatives, and none of them can move, alas, how is this business done well? ā
"Nobles do their own business, most of the time." Li Tong didn't care much about it, she used to be so ruthless, and she couldn't put an end to such a thing, and the shops in the Suining Palace's mansion in the capital were also full of poor relatives of the Jiang family, relatives of aunts, and relatives of the housekeepers.
Downstairs, the guys have already begun to carry out the peppercorns and spread them on the mat.
The shopkeeper Ning shook his head. "The pepper of Hanyuan Mansion was originally the golden sign of the pepper in Shuzhong, and it has been ...... for the past two years. Alas, I really can't mention it, since last year, the price of pepper in Jinchuan Mansion has begun to rise, but the taste of pepper in Jinchuan Mansion is not much the same as that of Hanyuan Mansion. ā
It is probably because of the increase in the price of peppercorns in Jinchuan Mansion that the peppercorns in Hanyuan Mansion are not as good as a year after year, and Maochang Xing started the idea of Jinchuan peppercorns again.
At the gate of the Changhai Warehouse, several proudly entourages followed, and the shopkeeper Zhu half-bowed and accompanied He Zongxiu into the warehouse.
The shopkeeper of Ning Da stopped talking, and looked downstairs with Li Tong.
In the warehouse downstairs, a guy who had been scolding and scolding saw He Zongxiu, piled all the peppercorns in his hand on the mat, walked in front of He Zongxiu in half a circle, and arched his hand angrily: "Owner, the villain has a few words to tell you, don't say it's really panicked." ā
"Well, you say." He Zongxiu put his hands behind his back and looked majestic.
"Boss, you see what we're doing, right? Dry peppercorns, dry peppercorns now! The guy waved his finger at the peppercorns that had been spread out for half of the yard, and the shopkeeper Zhu's face sank, "If you don't dry the peppercorns at this time, will you wait for the rain to dry them?" ā
"Listen to you, you don't understand!" The guy unceremoniously blocked Zhu Da's shopkeeper, "How heavy the rain was last night, a penetrating rain, and it didn't stop until it was almost dawn, and it was an eye at this time, but the owner, look at this moisture." ā
The guy waved his hand, "The water beads hit the face, this ground is also, you see, the ground is full of puddles, the sun is shining, you see, the water vapor is all steamed into the peppercorns, this is the peppercorns, this is to use the peppercorns to absorb moisture, to dry, you have to wait for the dry weather to dry and then dry!" ā
The shopkeeper Zhu's face turned from red to blue, glaring at the guy fiercely, He Zongxiu's face sank, "Since you know, why don't you tell the steward?" But if I don't come today and say such things in front of me? You can't say it, can you? ā
"You can't say that, owner." The guy looked stunned and a little flustered.
"Hmph, people like you, who are clever and want to climb up, I have seen a lot, playing such tricks in front of me, hum!"
He Zongxiu sneered, turned his head and scolded Zhu Da's shopkeeper, "Did you hear all his words?" Since he said this, I won't repeat it, as soon as he entered the door, he was on fire, and he was an old steward, and he didn't understand this little truth? Don't you understand? Or is it not careful? Didn't put this on the ease? ā
"It's a small mistake, let's check the ......small one," Zhu Da's shopkeeper sweated.
"Do you still need to check? The peppercorns are all put in, and then dried when they are dry, and the steward on duty is withdrawn and beats ten boards, as for this. He Zongxiu looked back at the guy who was already stunned, "Clever, always calculates and calculates himself, hit ten boards, and get it!" ā
Upstairs, Li Tong sighed softly, turned around and went downstairs, "Let's go, don't look at it." ā
The shopkeeper Ning Da followed behind Li Tong, and sighed continuously as he went downstairs.
Mao Changxing's style of work, no wonder even if it is ridiculously wrong, up and down, there is no one who dares to speak, no wonder it is a trivial matter such as unloading a few boats of peppercorns, it can make a storm in the city and make trouble in the court.
"Let's get started." Downstairs, Li Tong gave a low order to the shopkeeper of Ningda, and the shopkeeper of Ningda smiled, "The girl is more careful than Mrs. back then." ā
"There's so much to do with it, you have to be careful." Li Tong replied vaguely. The matter that the eldest princess ordered is an introduction, who knows how many things will be introduced later, in case it doesn't work out, it's not this one thing that will be delayed, maybe, the second master will also be implicated in Jiangnan, and there is really no room for error.
