said that it was Aunt Jin, but in fact, she was only in her thirties this year, after all, when Aunt Gongsun bought these three Korean female slaves, they were all a group of little hairy girls. But then again, no matter what, people also watched Gongsun Xun grow up, so it's always okay for Gongsun Xun to call his aunt, and the relationship between the two parties has always been very harmonious.

"Why is Ah Xun here?" Seeing Gongsun Xun coming, Aunt Jin in the backyard was naturally quite happy: "I just came back, I should go to clean noodles first and then go to dinner, but what's the matter?" ”

"A little thing." Gongsun Xun sat on a small bench - this is another 'invention' of Aunt Gongsun, but it can't be used outside because of etiquette, and he replied with a smile. "I'm tired of Aunt Getting some money and things, I want to buy a small property in Luoyang City tomorrow, and I have to make friends with Sergeant Luo......"

"It doesn't matter." Aunt Jin said disapprerovingly when she heard this. "When I came, the mistress explained, all the things that will help Ah Xun make you famous, such as this and Luozhong Shizi...... The boundaries of money are opened. ”

Gongsun Xun nodded, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly turned around: "I haven't talked with my aunt for a long time, so I'll eat here today, and let's talk about gossip by the way." ”

"Ah Xun doesn't think I'm verbose." Aunt Jin smiled and said, then immediately got up and ordered the little girl to fetch water, lay out the table and so on.

After cleaning up, the two of them sat down, and naturally a little girl met for dinner, Gongsun Xun looked down but couldn't help but smile: "It's chicken soup?" ”

"What, not to taste?" Aunt Jin was slightly stunned. "I remember that you like chicken quite a lot, no, I'll let the kitchen be replaced by something else, the kitchen of hundreds of people, you can't just make chicken soup."

"That's not it." Gongsun Xun stared at the chicken in front of him and shook his head and smiled. "It's just a sudden reminder of an old incident from my childhood......"

"What's the old thing?" Aunt Jin is really curious.

"It's too far away to be sure." Gongsun Xun said while tearing open the stewed and rotten chicken with chopsticks. "When I say it, my aunt will help me think about whether there is such a thing...... I vaguely remember that when I was five or six years old, I had a meal around the Chinese New Year, and I was eating, and I suddenly wanted to eat chicken, but the chicken on the kang table had already been eaten, but fortunately, there were a lot of chicken at home that was chopped into pieces, pickled, and tied under the eaves and frozen, so my mother asked Aunt Li to go outside to get some frozen chicken pieces to cook for me......"

"I remember!" Before the other party finished speaking, Aunt Jin laughed. "You remember correctly, there is indeed this matter, but it is not your Aunt Li who cooks the meat, it is me at all! It stands to reason that frozen meat should be boiled in warm water before it can be cooked. But wasn't it eating that day, and our group of girls were at the best time to eat, so I was afraid that those people would rob me of all the delicious food, so I was lazy and put the whole frozen chicken directly into the kettle, lit the fire and came back. As a result, the hot chicken soup was finally served, and many pieces of meat on the outside were cooked, but the inside was still frozen and stiff, and it was impossible to break it at all...... The housewife was so angry that she didn't allow me to eat, so anxious that I shed tears next to me alone. ”

"So that's really the case?" Gongsun Xun also smiled. "I thought I was misremembering...... It's just that Auntie, I don't know how to cook, but this frozen chicken, you can melt it after a few washes of warm water, why do you boil it in a kettle until the water is boiling, the meat on the outside is cooked, but there are still ice lumps on the inside? ”

"Where do I understand this?" Aunt Jin shook her head and smiled. "When I was a child, I still did some rough work, but in less than two years, our family's business will be bigger, even if I don't have to cook myself, now I can just settle accounts."

"I have some ideas, I don't know if it's right." Gongsun Xun bowed his head and said. "Look...... In fact, when it comes to melting ice, the effectiveness of warm water and boiling water is not necessarily much worse, after all, they are much hotter than ice. However, from our point of view, warm water is acceptable, but boiling water is beyond the limit, so it is inevitable to overestimate the utility of boiling water and underestimate the ability of warm water. ”

"That's right!" Aunt Jin thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly. "Shaojun is worthy of being the only son of the master mother, this kind of intelligence...... But Ah Xun, do you have something to say to me? ”

"Yes." Gongsun Xun replied. "I know that before I came, my mother once explained to my aunt, saying that if I befriended all the big people in Luoyang, no matter how much money I spent, I didn't care, but there must be restrictions on clothing, food, housing and transportation."

"That's true."

"Don't hide it from my aunt, I want to do something that costs a lot of money, but I think this is also a way to get acquainted with characters, so I talked about that old thing first."

"Ah Xun might as well come and listen, as long as it really meets the requirements of the housemother, I will not limit the amount of money."

"That's the case, aunt, you see, the official road at the foot of this Qishi Mountain is the throat of the southeast of Luoyang, and the flow of people and vehicles is really endless, but there is only one pavilion here, so every time it can only provide food and lodging to the person with the largest official position, but many people are turned away. Therefore, I wanted to buy the restaurant opposite and the vacant land nearby, and build a large house here, regardless of status, regardless of background, to provide food and lodging. ”

"Those who are willing to stay in the house...... Aunt Jin thought as she looked up. Officials can stay in the post station, and people with a reputation can find someone to stay in the county town of Qi at will, even if they have some money, they can also spend money to stay in nearby people's homes, so those who can live in this righteous house are probably mostly children of poor families. ”

"Most of them are motivated poor people." Gongsun Xun corrected. "It's not okay to go out these days, and it's even harder for poor families to go out, but they still have to work hard, either to study, or to have important things to do, maybe there are outlaws...... Actually, Brother Yi said that he didn't stay in Luoyang very happily, and I was about to place him here to recruit minions for me. ”

"According to the business strategy of the master mother, this kind of thing must be shown Ah Xun's name." Aunt Kim continued. "Otherwise, how can you spread your reputation and make those poor children who pass by grateful?"

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun nodded again and again. "Auntie, is this agreed?"

"No problem." Aunt Jin nodded. "Shaojun, what you said before is so thorough, what do I disagree with? It's just that Shaojun didn't forget to write back and explain the situation to the hostess. ”

"It's inevitable." Gongsun Xun immediately laughed. "Don't hide it from my aunt, I wrote back not only to talk about this matter, but also to ask my mother to escort some more money over...... Not only do I want to show mercy to the children of the poor here, but I am also ready to follow the example of the eight chefs of the party in Luoyang, and give more help to those scholars who are not from a bad background but lack money, and strive to be the 'ninth chef' among the scholars! ”

Aunt Jin bowed her head again when she heard this, but her face was puzzled: "This kind of thing should have been done...... It's just Shaojun, the reputation of these eight chefs is very great, and I have heard of it, I don't know how much money they gave out in exchange for this reputation? ”

"Eight people plus one...... That's about 10 million dollars a year. Gongsun Xun gave the answer after a little thought.

Aunt Jin laughed again: "That person is only a million dollars a year, that is, a thousand...... That is, the net profit of our horse selling business for one year, although Shaojun has done a good job! ”

Where can it be so simple? Gongsun Xun shook his head secretly in his heart, but he only smiled on his face.
