Chapter 7, Mojia stunts
"Let's go, let me take you to see the prosperity of Chang'an." In his memory, every time he led the county uncle's Yulu to receive it in person, so Merton came to Chang'an more often, and he was still familiar with Chang'an City.
"Young Master! Seems to be on the wrong track! Li Yi stepped forward and interrupted Merton's high spirits!
"The shop in our Mojia Village is in the fish market in the south of the city, young master, you are going north!"
"Poof!" Can't help but laugh from the convoy.
"Nonsense! You don't know when I do! Merton rolled his eyes angrily and said.
"What about you?" Li Yi said with a puzzled face.
"Second uncle! What are we selling in Chang'an this time? Merton asked.
"Fish!" Li Yi glared.
"No, it's a live fish!" Next to Li Xin added.
"Stinky boy, you don't know about me!" Li Yi has a lot of respect for Merton, but he is unceremonious to Li Xin.
Li Yi glared, and Li Xin returned to the convoy stupidly.
"Brother Xin is right! This time we are selling live fish, but what is the difference between the live fish we sell and the live fish sold by others? Merton asked, looking around.
"It doesn't make a difference, does it? The fish we sell are the same as those around Chang'an. Li Yi frowned.
。
"That's not right!" Merton said loudly. "These fish are the same as their fish, but they are not the same."
"Uh-uh!" Everyone is dizzy, why is it all the same, it's not the same?
"Of course it's different, our fish are all transported from fifty miles away, but they can't compare to those fish that have just been fished out of the river!" A young man from Mojia Village said proudly.
"Ugh!" Mo Dun pressed his forehead speechlessly, they are all the same species of fish, and they are all live fish, Mojia Village spent a lot of manpower to transport it from fifty miles away, which is much more manpower and material resources than others, what is there to be proud of.
Of course, these words cannot be said, otherwise they can only discourage the enthusiasm of the villagers of Mojia Village
"Not bad! We are selling fish that the young master raised with our Mo family skills! Yu Er said loudly.
"Wrong, it's not the technology I invented, it's a thousand-year-old secret skill of our Mo family!" Merton said like a magic stick.
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized, I said, why did the young master suddenly become so powerful! It turned out that he had obtained the secret skills of the ancestors of the Mo family.
Only Li Yi and a few other old men who escorted the car looked at Merton suspiciously, what good things were in Mojia Village, they knew better than Merton, they had never heard of any secret techniques that had been passed down for thousands of years.
"But we know that this is the secret technique of the Mo family for thousands of years, but the people of Chang'an City don't know! So how can we show how good our fish are? Merton said.
"What does the young master mean?" Li Yi said suspiciously.
"Of course, I want the whole Chang'an people to know how precious the fish in our Mojia Village is, so I decided that today's convoy will go around the south of the city and go to the fish market!" Merton said proudly.
"Fauber!" Merton looked at Fauber, who immediately took out a large number of flagpole banners from the carriage, and even drums and gongs, trumpets and flutes.
Isn't this what the old man in the village used when he died? How did you suddenly get here.
Soon each waterwheel was divided into a flag and a musical instrument, and the whole convoy instantly celebrated.
"Bell! The sound ......of drums and gongs, mixed with the sound of sheng flute, attracted the attention of the entire street in an instant.
"Uncle Yu! The rest is up to you! Merton looked at Master Yu and said.
"Young master, don't worry! I don't have other skills in old fish, but I still have the skills to make fish and sell fish. Master Yu said confidently.
After speaking, Master Yu took the lead in walking to the front of the convoy and snatched the gong from the second-hand fish.
"Boom!" Master Yu knocked heavily and shouted loudly.
"The thousand-year-old stunt of the Mo family is here! It can make live fish live and make people healthy. ”
Master Yu shouted, stopped and motioned for the other convoys to beat gongs and drums.
In an instant, the whole convoy was noisy and the red flag was unfurled. Shouted in unison: "The Mo family is a live fish, and the body is healthy." ”
"Fifty miles away from Chang'an, the live fish transported from Mojia Village will not die."
"The Mo family is a live fish, and the body is healthy."
“………………”
The whole street fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at this strange convoy in amazement.
The young men in Mojia Village were full of shame, feeling that they had never been so ashamed, they were actually surrounded by a whole street of people.
"The Mo family?" A Confucian in Tsing Yi muttered to himself in the crowd.
"What is the Mo family, and what is the big family of the Mo family?" A strong man with a meaty face asked.
"I don't know, the Mo family is not a big family, he is the strongest family among the hundred sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty," a scholar said proudly.
"That's amazing!" The strong man was surprised.
Of course, the Mohists were also full of talents, and they were called Confucianism and Mo, which were one of the two major scholars at that time. At that time, there was a saying that it was not Confucianism. Tsing Yi Confucian added.
"What does the Mo family have? It's not the same now, and it's not the same decline, but it's a fish seller for a living. The scholar said with disdain.
"Hey!" The Confucian students in Tsing Yi are also full of emotion, the once prominent Mo family is really in decline now, and there have been almost no famous figures since the Han Dynasty.
"I know Mojia Village." One of the fellows exclaimed, "It's right next to our village." ”
"It's really fifty miles away!" Someone asked.
"This is true, our village is fifty-one miles away from Chang'an City, and Mojia Village is still three miles south of our village." The guy affirmed.
"But Mojia Village is very poor and poor in our country, and there is a ballad that says: 'Marry a girl Mo Jia Village, I would rather throw it in the riverside' No girl wants to go to Mojia Village to suffer." The man looked at the people in Mojia Village with disdain and said.
"Hahaha!" The surrounding people laughed for a while, and they all despised this Mojia village, a village where no one even went to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was a shame to come to Chang'an to sell fish under the banner of the Mo family.
"Huh!" The Confucian in Tsing Yi looked at the guy who intended to show off in the crowd, and smiled, like looking at a frog at the bottom of a well.
Maybe Mojia Village used to be poor, but if Mojia Village was able to transport live fish from fifty miles away, as they advertised, it wouldn't be long before Mojia Village would be called the richest village around them.
His understanding of Mojia Village was not as superficial as others, what really interested him was the young man who walked in front of the convoy and was still happy in the face of everyone's pointing.
