Obviously, Fang Jun came prepared to rub the meal, but in this way, Qin Huaiyu was embarrassed, he came empty-handed.

"Wait a minute, two brothers, I'll come when I go!" Qin Huaiyu said that he would go out of the door, and he came after a while, and the one he was carrying on his shoulders was half a corbel, and he was fighting hard for the sake of face, but there was another person who came with him, which was a little strange.

A leg of beef may not be valuable, but Chen Mo still appreciates it very much, looking at the people who came with him, Chen Mo asked, "Who is this, Huaiyu hasn't introduced it yet." ”

"My name is Feng Zhidai, I am from Lingnan, and I am also friends with Brother Huaiyu, I heard that he came here to eat, so I will come over to have a look, I won't bother."

Who is Feng Zhidai? Chen Mo said that he didn't know, but Lingnan is a good place, and I heard that there are a lot of golden silk nanmu there.

"Since it's Huaiyu's friend, don't bother, it's just a matter of more pairs of chopsticks, come and come, it just so happens that the rice is already cooked."

Chen Mo opened the lid of his pot as he spoke, and a fragrant steam came out, and the eyes of those who smelled it lit up.

"It's actually rice, Brother Chen's craftsmanship is good, I often eat rice in Lingnan, but I have never had such a fragrance." Feng Zhidai said with a sigh, and then took the chopsticks handed over by Chen Mo.

"Serve your own food, do it yourself!" Chen Mo said that he didn't care about other people, he had been waiting for this for a long time.

One person and one bowl of rice are fried cabbage and shredded carrots, as well as the beef stir-fried with shredded radish, everyone can't stop after eating a meal, this meal is so fragrant, they feel that what they used to eat is not as good as swill compared to this.

"The food at my eldest brother's house is delicious, especially which salt has no bitter taste, it's great, I don't want to go home to eat, or Brother Chen, you can accept me as an apprentice, I don't want to be paid, you can just provide me with food."

Chen Mo was very surprised when he heard it, you must know that this era is a little different from what he knows, and there is still no shortage of salt.

"Why can't your family afford salt? It's cheap. Chen Mo asked his doubts, he had regretted for a long time because he couldn't make money from salt, of course, this didn't mean that he needed money, just that who would dislike money.

And because he received the 1,000 acres of land from the eldest grandson Wuji, the farm space has changed a little, as if the yield is more, as if the 1,000 acres of land have also been added to the space, so if he has money, he would like to buy more land.

When Fang Jun saw Chen Mo questioning his words, he immediately became anxious, eager to prove himself and said, "Cheap? Of course, salt is cheap, but it's cheap and not good, refined salt is 500 wen a catty, coarse salt is 5 wen a catty, the difference is big, according to my opinion, the salt of the eldest brother's family is also a fine product in the refined salt, it must be more expensive, but the eldest brother has a way to make money and eat salt is better. ”

Fang Jun is really envious of Chen Mo, and he can make money, and his own strength is also strong, Fang Jun knows all the things that Chen Mo did before, he was reprimanded by his family when he came here before, but now he is gone, this is Chen Mo's strength has changed the family's opinion.

"The bereaved love is right, the price of salt varies greatly, even if it is in my family, only my father and mother use fine salt, and the people use coarse salt, there is no way that refined salt is too expensive, five hundred wen a pound seems to be cheap, but the amount is large as soon as there are many people, and I can't afford to eat refined salt every day." Qin Huaiyu also sighed.

"Is it hard to eat salt?" Feng Zhidai didn't know very well, anyway, he had no experience in this area.

"Of course it's difficult, do you know that now the imperial court wants to use troops against the Turks, but it is stuck in the neck by money and grain, which accounts for a large part of the purchase of salt, coarse salt is not suitable for the army, because coarse salt contains bitterness and impurities, and people will even get sick if they eat too much, so it must be fine salt, not refined salt, just fine salt, two hundred wen a catty, hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, how much will it cost to eat three taels of salt per person per day? Do the math yourself. ”

Qin Huaiyu sighed, Feng Zhidai secretly calculated and smacked his tongue... He didn't calculate it at all, but he knew that it was a big expense, as for Fang Jun, this guy was already full of confusion, and the stamina of good wine was not small, and he already wanted to sleep.

"Speaking of which, in fact, I also want to thank Brother Chen, because your radish has made my father's health improve a lot, I heard that this time the imperial court is going to use soldiers, my father even intends to participate, I often sighed that I didn't have a chance to go to the battlefield when I was in poor health before, but now I have such an opportunity, all thanks to you, Brother Chen."

Qin Huaiyu was very excited, he often ran to Chen Mo because Qin Qiong asked Qin Huaiyu to walk around with him after knowing that Chen Mo was being beaten here, in order to let people know that Chen Mo was related to the Qin family, but he didn't expect to come and go, but he became friends.

"That's too polite, you just said that the imperial court wants to use troops against the Turks? But because of the relationship between money and food, it has not been decided? ”

"That's right, the eldest grandson Wuji said that he couldn't send troops on the grounds that the treasury was empty and there was a famine, and I heard that His Majesty intended to levy commercial taxes to make up for the treasury, hoping to get the money and food to send troops..." Saying that, Qin Huaiyu was also drunk.

What kind of wine, why don't you feel it at all? Chen Mo didn't expect that Qin Huaiyu would fall asleep on the table while talking.

"Brother Qin... Brother Fang Xian··· You can't drink enough, ahaha, it's not easy to want money and food? I may not have any money in Lingnan, but if you want to talk about this food, it is really piled up, but it's a pity... No one introduced me, my dad... My dad... Well, that's fragrant. ”

Feng Zhidai was also drunk, but his words made Chen Mo have a different mind, Li Shimin needed money and food, and Feng Zhidai had food here but didn't know how to send it out, his father had a lot of enemies in the court, of course, this was Chen Mo didn't know what it was, he just thought that Feng Zhidai's identity was not favored and there was no way.

But he has no way, Chen Mo does, as for money... Chen Mo thought of a term "Salt and Iron Franchise", it seems that there is a lot to be done by making money with salt, and the benefits that he doesn't look down on may not be small for the imperial court.

After a night, Qin Huaiyu finally woke up, and when he got up, he found that he was not in his own house, and when he went out, he happened to see Chen Mo brushing his teeth.

"Hmm... Get up, wash your face and eat breakfast, and then have something good to tell you. Chen Mo greeted himself while tidying up, and after finishing breakfast, Qin Huaiyu sat upright in his seat and waited for Chen Mo to say something.
