Chapter 249: Changing Courgettes (1)
In the Tang Dynasty, as long as they were not the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, they were all called Hu people, of course, people who have Hu blood but have a Tang household registration will be called Tang people very friendly by the Tang people, after all, Li Er has the blood of the Hu people, and no one dares to call him King Hu.
Hu people's things will be poured with a Hu character, Hu people's sac cake will be called Hu cake, Hu people's song will be called Hu Ji, as for Hu people's melons and fruits will also be called Hu melon, so the beautiful name of cantaloupe became Hu melon in the Tang Dynasty.
I heard that the lord of Yiwu City brought a large number of courgettes to be sold in Chang'an City, in order to prevent the Hu people from making a lot of gold and silver, Jia Yi decided to take all this batch of courgettes into his own pocket, of course, the currency could not be the gold, silver and copper of the Tang Dynasty, so bartering became his first target.
Courgette has caused a lot of sensation as soon as it appeared in Chang'an City, after all, it is a sweet and delicious cantaloupe, especially in the cold winter season, it is a very happy thing to be able to eat fruit, so many people have paid money to buy courgette, but Hu people also have a good business mind, although they don't know what is called a seller's market, but they know what is called scarce and expensive, so every courgette is sold to a consistent amount of money.
There is only one kind of cheap goods in Jia Yi's hands, that is, glass, but now the production of glass is still restricted by Li Er, the huge glass factory, the daily output is either a glass ball or a glass bowl, occasionally Li Er is happy and will give the opinion of firing some things, which can make the workers of the entire glass factory happy for several days.
It can be said that since the emergence of glass factories, the output of such a long time is not even as much as the glassware owned by a family in later generations, which makes those glass factories on the one hand, with a lot of salary, but not much work to do, very idle.
Since Jia Yi thought of exchanging glass for Hu Ren, he had to ask Li Er's consent, so although he already had a plan in his heart, he had to wait until Li Er's consent before he could start implementing it.
It was not early, and the kitchen had already prepared a meal for Jia Yi, and now there are only three people who can dine with Jia Yi at the same table in Jia Mansion in Chang'an City, one is the housekeeper of Jia Mansion, one is the son of the housekeeper, and the last one is Cui Zhuang, the little follower that Jia Yi just recruited.
Four people don't have to cook many dishes to eat, the chef just casually made five dishes and one soup, and fed a table of four people, Chang'an City is destined to have no novel toys at night, so Jia Yi returned to the room very early, ready to sleep well, and he will be busy tomorrow.
Cui Zhuang lay in the room specially prepared for him, but he couldn't sleep for a long time, he didn't expect that he said to Jia Yi that he wanted to learn skills from Jia Yi, and he was reused by Jia Yi, and now not only lived in a room specially prepared for him, but also had the honor to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Datang for the first time, and even after Jia Yi said his identity, the prince also gave him a smile, this kind of thing, it was unimaginable before, and the people of the entire Datang Dynasty are thousands, There can be a few people who can be given a smile by His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention anything else, just this matter can win praise in front of others.
Cui Zhuang didn't go to school, didn't know how to read, and didn't know this sentence, but at this moment, he really felt from Jia Yi's body what is called seizing the opportunity.
With the infinite longing for the future, Cui Zhuang fell asleep in a daze, he had a lot of dreams this night, he didn't know how many times he laughed in his sleep, in short, all the dreams of a night were the kind of dreams that he couldn't think of before.
Early in the morning, the first cry of the chicken, Cui Zhuang got up from the bed, once as an ordinary person let him develop a good habit of smelling the chicken to get up, after a quick wash, he waited outside Jia Yi's door, waiting for Jia Yi's call at any time.
The rooster crowed several times, but found that Jia Yi still didn't mean to get up, and Cui Zhuang, who was shivering from the cold, had to run around in the yard outside Jia Yi, he didn't know martial arts, so he could only compare at will, and after a short period of effort, his whole body became hot.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cui Zhuang quickly ran to the door, just in time to meet Jia Yi's figure who walked out of the room with a yawn.
"You kid got up early."
"Isn't this afraid that the eldest young master will get up in the morning and find me something, hehe......"
"Okay, diligence is a good thing, let's go, come with me to dinner."
Breakfast was still light but very delicious, after breakfast, Jia Yi took Cui Zhuanggang to go out to Suzaku Street to have a look, but he didn't expect others to find him first.
"Brother Jia, where is this going in a foreign land?"
Cheng Chu silently didn't study well in school, and he was always willing to drag and drop the text with Jia Yi, so that Jia Yi despised him not once or twice.
"Where else can I go, I'll go home for a few days, and then you will put the stage on the street for me, and if I stay at home for a few more days, you will not tear down my house?"
Before Jia Yi's words fell, Wu Ping, the housekeeper of Jia's mansion, came over and said to Jia Yi: "Young master, in the past few days that you have been away, these little grandfathers, but they get up early every day to have breakfast, saying that when you come back, sometimes lunch will be solved here." ”
was exposed in person, no matter how thick Cheng Chumo's face was, he was also red for no reason, and glared at Wu Ping fiercely, only then did he sneak a look at the expression on Jia's face, if he found anything wrong, he turned his head and left.
"I said can you be kind, didn't I make it clear to you, I'll go back and stay for a few days, you can watch the whole thing yourself, why are you still eating at my house every day."
As Jia Yi's words fell, Cheng Chumo sighed fiercely, and repeated all the things Cheng Yanjin had said to him in the past few days to Jia Yi, and before he finished speaking, the other friends also appeared in front of Jia Yi.
After listening to their narration, Jia Yi found that as long as it was the emperor's will, there was no time when they were treated hastily, thanks to Qin Huaiyu saying that Qin Qiong had stopped them all, otherwise Jia Yi would not be able to survive in the manor.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look, if we can't satisfy Your Majesty, even if we can make a lot of money, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat at that time."
In fact, Jia Yi's worries are very necessary, the platform of Wanhualou was designed by him personally, these bastards didn't have any innovative spirit, and directly moved the platform of Wanhualou to the scene, not to mention that it was too small, just this shabby appearance was really not enough to embarrass Li Er's face.
With a wave of his hand, a group of people began to get busy quickly under Jia Yi's orders, due to the urgency of time, the platform that was moved was only changed from horizontal to vertical, and then a larger table was set up horizontally on the street, and a huge T-shaped catwalk was presented in front of everyone, as for the background wall behind the prince, Jia Yi did not make much changes, but dressed up more beautifully, many people are easy to do, after doing this, the morning time is useless, Leaving a group of friends to continue to build the platform according to his instructions, he found the old bustard of Nuanchun Pavilion and asked her to call all the people who participated in this competition.
Huan Fei Yan is thin, they are different, they are talking about the gang of Oiran standing in front of Jia Yi, they all have good looks and breathless bodies without exception, convex and backward appearance, even if Jia looks at it, they have a dry mouth, and with their absolutely carefully thought about dress, Jia Yi's eyes are a little unbearable, but the most important thing at the moment is to tell them how to use this T-catwalk.
Their performances were all arranged by Jia Yi, so for how they used this stage, Jia Yi thought clearly and understood, and after a simple explanation, he familiarized them with the stage, even if today's task is over, the Hundred Flowers Championship will officially start early tomorrow morning, and there will be a lot of people present.
Of course, there were not a hundred people participating in the competition, and not all of them were Oiran in the kiln, and there were many women from good families, who felt that this was an opportunity to climb the high branches, and they also signed up one after another.
The competition method Jia Yi chose the oldest scoring, the full score is 10 points, and all the gentlemen are the judges, as countless women, they can definitely afford this heavy responsibility, as for Li Er, who will be a judge on any occasion, but he was arranged by Jia Yi in the audience, this kind of occasion still let him watch better, otherwise the woman he likes will definitely win the first place, this is no way.
After noon, Jia Yi took care of everything, leaving only some finishing work, and let him hand over to Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo to be responsible, as for himself, he was waiting for Li Er's decision, as long as Li Er agreed, then he would find the Yiwu City Lord this afternoon to discuss the matter of changing the cucumber.
Just when Jia Yi and the others were about to fall asleep, Li Chengqian finally came, and brought good news, that is, Li Er had agreed to his request, but there was one more request.
I don't have to think about it to know what Li Er's request is, sighed, and without Li Chengqian saying it, I agreed directly, it was nothing more than a dividend, which was already in Jia Yi's expectation.
Honglu Temple is the place to receive foreign guests, different from the Sifang Pavilion, Honglu Temple receives foreign guests with status, but the Sifang Pavilion lives with foreign envoys, there is a difference between high and low status.
