Chapter 378: The Little Fox Who Came to Give Gifts
The first update
Now, the Ejia family's shop can only be used to collect rent. The businesses that had previously joined forces with it had closed down one after another; Even if they didn't go out of business, they used the excuse that there was something in their hometown, so they directly sent the shop to them and left the capital in a hurry. And those shops, within a few days, all collapsed. If you don't pour, you can't do it, because if you open for a day, you will lose a day, and who can watch you lose money every day for a breath.
The harvest of Zhuangzi is not as good as a year after year, and I have checked it, and it is either a natural disaster or an animal disaster; In the first snowstorm of the year, his Zhuangzi in Gyeonggi was almost completely unharvested. If ordinary people can still have subsidies from the official family, these aristocratic Zhuangzi, because they never pay taxes, so even if there is a disaster, the official family does not care. He couldn't let the villagers starve to death, so he could only pinch his nose and take out the stored grain to feed the villagers.
As the family grows, there are always some poor relatives, and the population of their own family is also increasing, and there is always an expense for marriage. All kinds of personal contacts, even if it is the birthday gift of the masters in the palace, it has become a big burden for them.
The Ejia family with the beautiful scenery on the surface can't last long. E Long knew in his heart that even if he didn't die, if the current E family stopped thinking about a way, they would really be on a dead end!
As long as people feel that the road is not good, so they have to think about it, Elong is like this at this time, he suddenly found that even if he is not dead, his children and grandchildren will not be able to live, this lord who has been a "good man" all his life, he is not happy, because he pretends that the children and grandchildren of the "good man" will have nothing to eat.
This is also the reason why he was downstairs in the city, waiting to see Liu Rong. This woman is really underestimated.
I'm thinking about something. There was a knock on the door, and the long man went out to answer, very quickly. Chang came in with a dense face, "Old lady, the shopkeeper Fan asks to see you." ”
The two young masters of the E family have already stood up, and they are only in their thirties, just because Elong is old, they are called old women, and they are promoted to masters.
Family matters. They know very well that they can force them to be like this, except for Fan Ying. There is no one else.
But they couldn't catch the slightest evidence, and when they looked back, the Su family had already started to open sources and reduce expenditure, while several other little nobles were in the house. Now it's all about frugality. Including the Yan family, who has withdrawn from the court. Because the family has been separated, the big house is a little better, and the second room is almost too poor to open the pot. Even if there is no evidence, it also shows that those of you who have bullied Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan may not be able to take you in the palace, but. Outside the palace, I can make it impossible for you to live.
In fact. As long as there is no money outside the palace, there will be no fun in the palace, so what else can be thought, so I can only close the door and do nothing. If it weren't for the hundred-year-old foundation of the E family, it wouldn't have survived to this day.
Now Fan Ying came to the door at this time, how could they not be caught off guard and stand up.
Of course, under the gaze of their father's Ling Li, they sat down again, the door curtain was lifted, and Fan Ying came in with a smile on his face to make a round.
"Happy New Year, old man, I heard that you are here, the little one came to say hello to you." Fan Ying looked beaming.
"What, come to cheer on your mother?" Old man E smiled and motioned for him to sit, and by the way, he gave him a piece of money, "I know that you have money, it's too showy." ”
The old man is worthy of being a tumbler for decades, and this time, sitting in front of him, he is like a loving elder in the family, with a kind face, just like facing his own beloved son and nephew.
Fan Ying also smiled scoundrelly, "Where, just come out to see, the market in Beijing has not been good recently, and all kinds of businesses, if they are not in a recession, they will be in a recession." The emperor said that I can't let Jingli look deserted, so I can't do anything, which one is in a recession, so I can only buy which one, keep other people's brands, as if it is still someone else's store, and turn around and admit compensation by myself. If there is a mother in the family, they are all going to make money, and our family is desperately trying to get money outside. ”
Elong laughed loudly, "You stinky boy, I'm afraid that people won't know that you have money, co-author, and the old man is sitting in your restaurant?" Well, boss, I won't give money when I turn around, this kid, I don't know how to respect the elderly, disturb him with a drink, just let him make amends. ”
"Look at what you said, it goes without saying, isn't this what a small one should do!" Fan Ying opened the good wine he brought, and let people replace it with a white jade cup, and inside the jade cup, the amber wine syrup exuded an intoxicating fragrance.
"This is Zhu Yeqing?" The old man frowned slightly, everyone knows that he doesn't like wine, and he can sing two glasses of bamboo leaves in the wine, and what he loves is the slight bitterness in the fragrance.
Everyone liked it, and there was no one he hadn't drunk the best of the bamboo leaf greens, but Fan Ying opened an ordinary small bottle this time, and poured out the bamboo leaf greens that had been cellared for at least thirty years.
The better the wine, the longer the vintage. Zhu Yeqing is not a first-class wine in the market, and there are not many people who want to find a cellar for more than ten years, this time, Fan Ying actually took out a bottle of thirty years, thinking about it, he came to find himself on purpose.
"Therefore, when I know that I have come to taste the wine, and I give it to the villain, it is a waste of things. You taste, people said, it was the old people in the family who liked it, but they forgot about it, and waited for the old man to go for I don't know how many years, and only found it when he cleaned up the warehouse. Baba's sent it to me, and I said, how do I understand this, no, you can taste this bottle first, and when you go back to the batch, I will have someone send it to your home. ”
The old man glanced at the wine, but did not drink it, but poured the cup into the small wine jug in front of him, shook it gently, and then poured it out, the wine was only slightly yellow, but the fragrance was not reduced, and he took a sip.
"Even if this wine is not bamboo leaf green, it has been cellared for fifty years, and it is worth a thousand gold, what is the matter with Brother Fan?" When the old man first looked at it, he thought that it was at least thirty years old, and more than thirty years old, at most half a jar of wine remained, and this kind of wine could not be drunk directly, but should be mixed with new wine.
Even if the old man is in a difficult family now, he will not drink new wine, and the pot in his pot is brewed in his own small wine shop in Shanxi, and he is an auxiliary minister, so he has such a hobby, so he opened a small wine shop by himself, brewed it himself, drank it himself, and no one would say anything.
His family's wine will not be served on the table for five years. Therefore, five years with a glass of other people's aging wine can't even take away its flavor, and the old man can be sure that this is thirty years, and at least fifty years. And fifty-year-old wine, even if it is an ordinary burnt knife, can be worth a thousand gold.
Listen to the tone, this is a batch, a batch sent to his own home, what does this mean? Facing this little fox who came to give gifts, the old fox of Elong was a little uncertain. (To be continued......)
PS: It's Monday again, and I'm in a bad mood. By the way, I started to get nostalgic again, and then I went down to the age of empires, and then, I was wiped out by the system. You say, I'm still in the feudal era, and the system doesn't wait for me, people went to the castle era, and then destroyed me.
