Chapter 49 Merchant Model
The Lin family's heart to serve the country really moved the little brother, I will definitely tell the elders about this matter, and then the elders will definitely talk to the officials above, but it is inconvenient for us to investigate the accounts, it is your business secrets, and private matters are indeed inappropriate, but we do believe in you, and after you show such sincerity, it is indeed worth trusting. Mo Yu looked sincere.
The law enforcement hall master agreed: "What the city lord said is reasonable, the Lin family has been helping the country do a lot of things, so we still believe in the Lin family at this point, and we just want to get a little bit of information this time, and this information also makes the Lin family have the intention of betraying customers, this time I am already embarrassed, where do you dare to check the Lin family's account."
"Hahahaha," Lin Yuan laughed loudly, "In that case, it would be disrespectful." Then he gave the butler a look.
The butler waved his hand gently, and don't forget that the two of them had completely understood, and hurriedly moved the things out, except for a piece of paper on it.
Then the housekeeper respectfully brought a piece of paper to Mo Yu, and then put it on Mo Yu's table: "City Lord Mo, here is the list."
Mo Yu nodded, so the two people in front of him were much older than him, but the majesty of some officialdom still had to be maintained, which was polite.
Then he glanced at the contents of this paper, and the dense names of people were all over the paper, but the names on the paper were particularly neat.
Each row and column is clear about this, and there is a number underneath, probably the number of pieces sold.
But it's a bit disrespectful to look at this information right away, so I just glanced at it and turned my gaze to the front.
Then he couldn't help but take a sip of tea again, and the few family members in the back looked very eye-catching, and immediately added tea to Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master.
Someone knocked lightly on the door outside, and Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master didn't say much.
At this time, the housekeeper clenched his fists and said to Lin Yuan: "Helmsman, the meal is ready, do you want to serve it?"
Lin Yuan smiled and turned his gaze to Mo Yu: "It depends on the meaning of the city lord, I wonder if the city lord can enjoy the face of the dinner table now?"
Mo Yu suddenly felt that this guy was a little too modest, and even said that he was a little disgusted by his humility, after all, he was a person who was nearly twice as big as himself, although he looked like the two were comparable, but after all, he was also an older person.
Of course, these feelings Mo Yu will not show on his face: "Everything is listening to you on your territory, just treating Mo Yu as a small example, this time I came here is not all for business, I also want to make friends with a character like Brother Lin, so that I can have the capital to brag when I get to the dinner table in the future."
"The Mo City Lord is really good at talking, a grass man and a grass people, since this is the case, then I will make the decision first, the two of you will sit at the table next to you, the meal will be good immediately, I will call someone to come over to accompany the wine, and I am also a person who can hope to know the Mo City Lord, and I hope that the Mo City Lord will not dislike it."
Even so, he didn't ask Mo Yu's consent at all, and then Lin Yuan opened the door and went out, and after going out, the housekeeper humbly invited Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master to a table next to him.
It is a very quaint table, Mo Yu thought to himself, people say that the Lin family is powerful, rich and wealthy, although it is not as exaggerated as the legend at first sight today, but from this meaning, I am afraid that some small countries are not as strong as the Lin family's financial resources.
The table doesn't look like any ordinary wood, and although the surface is painted with some paint, it has a faint aftertaste that can still be smelled through the nose.
There were already small plates, chopsticks, and some paper on the table.
Mo Yu just sat next to him, unwilling to sit on the main seat, Mo Yu was not so arrogant.
Then the law enforcement hall master sat next time in Mo Yu.
It didn't take long before the food was served.
Everyone came up with a dish.
The first course is, of course, some cold dishes.
The coolness of the cold dishes can be seen from the color, and this coolness is brought by the green color of the plant.
In fact, whether it is from the table or from the meal, you can see the luxury and dignity of the Lin family.
The housekeeper slowly put a cup on the side for Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master, his hands and feet were light, and he barely let Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master find out.
Mo Yu glanced at this housekeeper, he was very old, and it was estimated that he would have about 200, but Mo Yu didn't dare to do this martial arts, not to mention anything else, but judging from the sound of putting the wine glass.
When the wine glass is placed, it naturally coincides with the tabletop, leaving only a trace of air in the middle, which should be felt by the qi in the body.
Then when you arrive at the designated place, you will put it down, and the amplitude of the release is also done by the qi, and it will be put down in parallel impartially.
If it weren't for Yu Jiao seeing his arm, he shouldn't have found that someone put this wine glass on the table, where the Lin family is hiding the dragon and crouching tiger.
Let's just say that this housekeeper is absolutely more than enough to be a city lord, although it is not said that being an official is not based on force, but the force that can be a housekeeper is not bad, so Wen will naturally not be bad.
Then the housekeeper also put a wine glass on the lower and primary seats, and first poured the tea into the cups of Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master.
Mo Yu bent down slightly, and made a list of respects, and the same was true for the law enforcement hall master.
And the two looked at each other and smiled.
The sound of pushing the door sounded again, and this time not only was there a dish, but two people were also followed behind the dish.
The range of the table is quite large, and it is estimated that it is more than enough to put down a dozen or twenty dishes.
Mo Yu followed the voice and looked over, and saw a person about the same age as himself behind Lin Yuan, but his face was slightly shy, with a hint of immaturity.
followed Lin Yuan, but he didn't feel panicked, and he seemed very calm.
When Lin Yuan arrived at the table, he introduced Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master, and when Mo Yu saw that a newcomer was coming, it was convenient for the law enforcement hall master to stand up together.
With one hand behind his back, his chest is puffed out, and his face is slightly lowered.
It must have been Lin Yuan who introduced it as an intermediary: "This is our Mo Yu Mo City Lord of the Thirty-Nine Cities, Rui Feng quickly greeted!"
Then the man called Rui Feng bent down heavily: "Hello Mo City Lord, in Xia Lin Ruifeng!" Thank you for your first meeting! ”
Then Lin Yuan continued to introduce the Law Enforcement Hall Master: "This is Qu Jing, Qu Hall Master, who is guarding the safety of our Thirty-Nine Cities!"
This Rui Feng still bent a big waist and bowed heavily: Hello Qu Hall Master! ”
Then Lin Yuan began to introduce this person named Ruifeng to Mo Yu and the hall master of the law enforcement hall: "City Lord Mo, hall master, this is the dog Lin Ruifeng, the eldest son of the next, I have always heard of the name of the city lord of Mo, but I haven't seen it for a long time, the dog heard that the city lord of Mo is coming today, and I have to come to see the dignity of the city lord of Mo, so I will also meet the wish of the dog, and I hope that the city lord of Mo will not blame himself for making his own opinions."
"There are friends all over the world, of course it's great to get to know each other, here hurry up and let Lingzi sit down, it's weird to stand up." This time, Mo Yu seemed to be a host, but the two people opposite were guests.
Lin Yuan smiled, and then gestured to his son, and Lin Ruifeng sat next to his father.
The dishes also came up one after another, and in the end, there was a dish that surprised Mo Yu, this dish is a dish that is often eaten in the north or in the land of sugar cane in winter.
That is, hot pot.
It is said that most of the south does not extinguish the hot pot, because the south likes sweetness and the north likes spicy, even some white pots, most southerners do not like to eat it.
I didn't expect to see such a dish here today, and there is really no one in the city who makes this kind of thing.
After seeing this dish today, it seems to be a little kind.
However, most of the weather in the south is hot and humid throughout the year, and eating hot pot will definitely make people sweat profusely under normal circumstances.
However, at this time, Lin Yuan was obviously prepared.
When this hot pot came up, the four carts also pushed in, and Mo Yu looked at it lightly.
These cars are small and full of empty boxes about a meter high, but there are definitely things in them.
From above, there is a large amount of ice on it, and then an impermeable cloth is spread on top of the ice cube, and a semi-wet towel is placed on top of the impermeable cloth.
Of course, the effect is immediately visible, which is used to wipe sweat.
Then Lin Yuan also popularized science: "This is used to dispel the heat, if the room is smaller, all the ice cubes will be melted, and there is a trace of coolness, which is excellent in the house, but this room is slightly larger, so I put a towel on it, if the city lord feels the heat, you can use a towel to wipe the sweat."
Of course, this Mo Yu has already guessed, but one day this Mo Yu is a little unable to see through, that is, if the ice melts, where will the water go?
In other words, if the whole box is full of ice, then there will always be a time when the water will come up, so the effect of this freezing is not particularly good.
Next, Lin Yuan's explanation made this Mo Yu fully realized: "This car is divided into two layers, and there is a ragged layer in the middle, which can let the water go down, so that the ice cubes can always be kept dry, and it is easy to keep this towel in a cold condition."
When he saw this, Mo Yu could only sigh that there were not many soldiers in the south, and there was not a lot of ice even in winter.
If you want that much ice, you have to bring it from the north.
As for the cost, it is needless to say that the average merchant cannot afford this toss.
The timing should also be just right, choose the coldest days, let the temperature in the south also be below zero, and then transport the big ice blocks from the north to the south, and then put them in a very deep cellar for storage.
The cost of this does not need to be said.
Of course, this cost is much more than that, and more costs still need to be applied to this loss rate, in fact, there are many situations that will make this ice melt.
Once this ice melts under certain conditions, it will definitely lead to the melting of other ice, so it is not completely stored in a cellar, so it is the king to make their survival rate a little higher.
Then there's a lot more to it in.
And this is not how ice is used, which is obviously the most wasteful case, allowing the ice to melt naturally and suck the heat from the vamphanami to achieve the cooling effect.
As for the effect, there is no need to say much, of course the effect is, but the effect of this effect is not particularly obvious, maybe it is better to take this fan under the big tree to make a few more effective.
From this it can be seen that the Lin family's life is luxurious, and Mo Yu doesn't know if Lin Yuan deliberately showed these things to himself, or if life is like this.
But in Mo Yu's opinion, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and the degree of luxury Mo Yu believes is far more powerful than this.
But when it comes to this hot pot, Mo Yu does feel very cordial, and this cordiality is like returning to his hometown.
Then there were all kinds of hot pot ingredients on the table, which really made this Mo Yu suddenly feel like he had come to the Gobi in the north.
Here Lin Ruifeng spoke first: "City Lord Mo, I originally wanted to visit, but in the past two years, I have heard that City Lord Mo is busy with official business, but I don't have time to meet him, it is a pity to get this situation, I am fortunate to see Yu Zhenzun today, I am really overjoyed, my glass of wine is to pay tribute to City Lord Mo, I hope that City Lord Mo can rise steadily."
