Chapter 56: Rumors
After eating, the third girl said that she didn't want to go back to the room to sleep, originally Jia Yi didn't feel anything, but let them get it, and they also felt that there was always a pair of eyes looking at them behind them, so they couldn't sleep, anyway, if they opened an inn at home, then they all went to the inn to sleep.
Jia Er went to the main store of the Sifang Inn, where the reputation is made, the passenger flow is the largest, and there are basically no spare rooms there, so Jia Yi can only take the third daughter and Old Man Lin to the branch.
There are still some guest rooms in the branch, I asked for the three best, Jia Yi distributed the room, although the three women were in the same room, but did not feel any crowding, Jia Yi in the renovation of the branch, followed Wang Mengfa's business model, the grade of the room, was marked with different prices, of course, the interior decoration and size are not the same, the best three rooms are naturally suites, and they are all large beds, very comfortable.
The guest officials who came to Duqu County basically did not live in this suite, and the reason why they settled in Duqu County was only to go to Chang'an City early tomorrow morning, that is, overnight, and it was over, and occasionally one or two rich gentlemen came here to open the largest room, and it was only occasional, and it was good to come once a month.
Lying on the huge and comfortable bed, Jia Yi's brain involuntarily began to think about what needs to be done in the next period of time, peanuts are ranked first, and the yield of peanuts must be guaranteed, otherwise the edible oil will shrink significantly next year, which is likely to lead to a situation where supply exceeds demand. This is followed by the collection of food, and the locust plague will definitely appear next year, which Jia Yi firmly believes that as long as the locust plague appears, then he will be able to hire a large number of laborers with the food at hand, and if he is lucky, he can exchange a lot of things. Finally, I will teach other inns and restaurants how to make braised pork.
Although Jia Yi helped these inns and restaurants solve a very difficult problem, but he took away one percent of other people's profits in vain, he felt that if this continued, something would still happen sooner or later, and only by letting them taste the sweetness would they not easily betray Jia Yi, and they would be able to continue to share profits for a longer time.
Just when Jia Yi was thinking about it, the window was knocked twice from the outside. All of a sudden, Jia Yi's heart rose to his throat, you must know that the guest rooms of the inn are all on the second floor, and there is almost no place for Jia Yi to borrow under the window of this room, so if you want to go here, you are not a top master, then you can only ......
couldn't help but shudder, Jia Yi shuddered a little and screamed out of the window.
"Who...... Who is it? ”
"I, open the window, I'm going to fall."
Hearing the sound, Jia Yi was relieved, but then he began to complain about Zhang Daren who climbed the window, leaving a good door and not leaving, what kind of window are you climbing, I am a man, not a woman.
"What kind of inn are you, it's closed so early." Zhang Daren, who turned over and entered the room, complained to Jia Yi as soon as he landed, just after the change, Jia Er listened to it, it was not the third watch, and the inn had to be closed.
"What's the urgency, I can let you come in through the window to find me."
"The two are, one is that I have no place to sleep today, so I will squeeze here with you tonight, and the other is that the master asked you to hurry up and start making salt, what equipment do you need, how many people do you need to open your mouth directly, and he will dial it for you."
Hearing the manpower, Jia Yi's eyes lit up, at present, what he lacks most is money, and secondly, what he lacks is manpower, and from Zhang Daren's words, he can hear that he doesn't need to care about the monthly money of these people sent, and these people will absolutely obey his orders, which is simply a good thing for pie in the sky.
When he was in a good mood, it was easy to boast about Haikou, and Jia Yi was in a good mood, so he directly agreed to Zhang Daren's request and allowed him to share the bed with him today, but before that, he found a pen and paper, listed the things he needed on the paper one by one, and handed it to Zhang Daren, so that he could prepare tomorrow.
"Why are you all staying at the inn?"
"How do you know we're all staying at the inn?" Jia Yi was a little surprised by Zhang Daren's ability to predict the prophet.
"I went to the Lin Mansion before, knocked on the door for a long time, no one opened, I went in and looked, there was no one, then I went to the inn, found Xiao Er, he told me that you all came to the branch, let's talk about it, let it be a good home, why do you have to come to the inn to live."
Zhang Daren twisted his body and found a comfortable position on the soft bed, which ended his insect-like movements.
"Isn't there a dead person in the courtyard yesterday, the old man is a little taboo about this, so we will come to the inn to live."
"That's it, what kind of big deal is it for me to say, isn't it just that someone died, so that you don't dare to live at home, if there are a few more deaths in Duqu County, you won't have to move to Chang'an." Zhang Daren fully expressed his contempt for Old Man Lin.
"Hey, if you hadn't made Zhu Yong into a hedgehog, I would have been sleeping in my own bed now, who do you think would want to sleep here."
Jia Yi hatefully reached out and patted a soft big bed, although he used a lot of strength, but his hand did not feel any pain, the mattress made of palm branches and leaves, the softness is better than cotton wool, and it is no wonder that the main filling material of many mattresses in later generations is still it.
"This bed in your inn is so soft, I don't think I'm used to sleeping."
"Adaptation and adaptation......" memory wants to say that he is used to adapting to adaptation, but before he finished speaking, the earth-shattering snoring sound jumped out of Zhang Daren's mouth, if it weren't for the house being stronger, maybe just this decibel snoring would have collapsed the building.
Whoever always has thunder in his ears, and he doesn't want to sleep well, Jia Yi is full of anger on the bed, looking at Zhang Daren lying on the bed in a big shape, listening to the earth-shattering snoring sound coming out of his mouth, knowing that if Zhang Daren's snoring is not done this night, he wants to sleep well.
After enduring it for a long time, Jia Yi, who finally couldn't help it, kicked Zhang Daren's waist hard, but Zhang Daren was just kicked sideways by Jia Yi, and the snoring sounded again after only pausing for a moment.
Then Jia Yi kicked again.
After a night of hard work, Jia Yi couldn't fall asleep, in order to get angry, Jia Yi was on Zhang Daren's waist, I don't know how many feet he kicked, and when a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky, Zhang Daren also woke up leisurely, and then said to Jia Yi while holding his waist.
"Your bed is soft, I have some dreams when I sleep this night, and the soft bed is not good for the waist, my current back pain is the best proof."
In fact, where Zhang Daren was saying that the soft bed was not good, he was obviously asking Jia Yi why his waist hurt so much.
Lao Tzu hasn't slept all night, and it's already cheap for you to kick your waist off, and you dare to ask what's going on?!
"As you said, this bed is really not good for the waist if it is soft, I think you should hurry back to Chang'an, I believe the lord is still waiting for you to believe it, by the way, is the lord going to count this salt factory as a personal or a national?" Since Jia Yi entered the Tianji Capital Protectorate, he also began to call Qin Qiong his master.
"Naturally, it is personal, as a noble lord, it is not rare to take advantage of your small salt-making technique, but the salt must be sent to Chang'an at the lowest price."
It is also said that it is not cheap, and the lowest price is not to let you charge less money or not to collect money, in front of these big masters, where is there any minimum only to say, a pound of salt, just give a penny meaning.
"By the way, the master also said, you kid knows the method of ice making, why don't you report it?"
"Eh, haven't I adapted to my new identity yet, I was negligent for a while, and I still look at Haihan Haihan." After speaking, Jia Yi walked to the table, picked up the treatment again and wrote carefully, the method of making ice is very simple, there is almost no technical content, since Qin Qiong has begun to ask for it, then hurry up and write a copy, so that Zhang Daren can bring it back for a while, Qin Qiong has given it, then the county as a parent official, should also send some over, as the largest official in the county, Jia Yi feels that since he has entered the system, he should be left and right and do his job well.
It just so happened that he had promised Sun Shenxian that he would give this ice-making method to the people, so he simply found a lot of bamboo slips and wrote countless copies, all of which were given to the county officials, as for who can get it and who can't, it doesn't matter about Jia Yi.
Sending Zhang Daren away, Jia Yi came to the backyard of Qingyun Inn again, where the workers had already started their work in full swing, looked up at the sky, although there were some clouds floating in the sky, but after all, it was summer, and the heatstroke prevention work still had to be done well.
Shen Qingyun couldn't believe that what Jia Yi said was all true, and took out two small jars from the cellar early in the morning, one with an open mouth, and the other with a concave sealing mud, and at a glance, he knew that this must have been made yesterday.
Shen Qingyun didn't pay attention to Jia Yi, but took a small spoon and tried the fruits and soup in the open jar, and then spit it all out, sour and inedible.
opened the jar sealed with mud again, dug up a piece of peach and put it in his mouth, it was not much different from when he ate it yesterday, and the soup was also very delicious, and directly asked Shen Qingyun to eat a small jar of canned food.
"It seems that there is no problem in the short term, but I don't know if it will work for a long time."
"Won't you try it in a month?"
