Chapter Fifty-Three: What Happened to Buying Flutter
The small courtyard that he rented before expired, and Zhong Hao took the time to collect the sweet potatoes in the small courtyard today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now it is just the right time to harvest sweet potatoes, and the yield of sweet potatoes planted by Zhong Hao is naturally incomparable with the yield of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in later generations, but Zhong Hao estimated the yield per mu, which can also reach nearly ten stones, which is definitely a high-yield crop in this era.
After Zhong Hao cleaned up the small courtyard, he returned the key to Zhang Fugui, the tooth man of Dongcheng Yaxing.
Zhang Fugui looked at the yard, not only was it not damaged, but the doors, windows, and roofs had been repaired, so he naturally returned Zhong Hao's deposit to him very happily.
When Zhong Hao and Wan'er were busy storing sweet potatoes in the cellar at home, Gao Deli came.
Gao Deli chatted with him while helping Zhong Hao put sweet potatoes in the cellar.
"Master, the liquor brand of our restaurant is about to expire now, but the next issue of "buying" documents submitted by our restaurant to the county has not been replied! Gao Deli is very anxious, the county's new issue of the liquor brand is about to start buying, and the "buying" document handed in by Natural Ju has not yet been approved, he is very worried.
The county government's right to buy liquor is not that every restaurant or winery has the right to buy, but it is necessary to submit the "buying" documents of its own restaurant or winery to the county government first, and only the restaurant or winery approved by the county government has the right to buy. In fact, it is equivalent to a qualification review, to see if your restaurant or winery can afford to pay the liquor tax for contracting liquor.
It is said that with the current strength of Natural Residence, it is naturally capable of ensuring the payment of liquor tax, but the county government has not approved the "purchase" document of Natural Residence's right to drink this time, which is a bit strange.
Zhong Hao pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you been to the county government to inquire?" Know what the reason is not? ”
"The civil affairs of the county government are in charge of Zhao's main book, and the household is specifically responsible! But the apprentice inquired about the money, I was afraid that the county lieutenant Zheng was making a bad deal inside, and it is said that he asked the Li Si of the household to detain the 'buying' documents of our natural residence! ”
"Then Master Zhao doesn't care about these things? County Lieutenant Zheng, the second official in charge of public security, stretched out his hand to the stall of civil affairs, and it was all extended to the head of Master Zhao, so he didn't have any opinions? You don't have a trust relationship, so you can invite Master Zhao to a banquet, engage in a relationship, or give a gift and let him approve it? ”
"Master, you look up to the apprentice too much, the apprentice is a restaurant shopkeeper, what is it in the eyes of the master of Zhao, how can the apprentice please touch the master of Zhao! Why don't you ask Master Zhao to make a book, you are all literati, maybe he will give you face, and then we will give him a heavy gift? "Although the head of a county is a small official in the eyes of the imperial court, in the eyes of the local people, it is a high-ranking existence.
"I ...... There is nothing you can do", Zhong Hao said with a wry smile. As a small scholar like himself, what face can he have in the master of Zhao.
"Then what should we do, master, we can't get the liquor brand, and our soju can't be sold!"
Zhong Hao thought about it, Gao Deli is a restaurant shopkeeper, let him pay for this matter, let him trust the relationship, he is afraid that he is really powerless, when Zhong Hao said: "Then I want to find a way, see if I can ask someone to invite Zhao Zhushu!" ”
"Then Master Lao will have to worry about this matter!"
……
Zhong Hao didn't know many people, so he could only go to his two fox friends Cui Ye and Xu Feng for help with this kind of thing.
It just so happens that their sweet potatoes have been harvested, so let them taste a rarity.
Zhong Hao said secretly: Hehe, this sweet potato is now a precious thing, and they eat their own good things, they can't help if they want to!
Zhong Hao went to make an appointment with Xu Feng and Cui Ye first, came back and fried a few specialty dishes, prepared a jar of "Jade Liquid Clear", and roasted a few sweet potatoes.
Before noon, Cui Ye and Xu Feng arrived.
"The two brothers came to the humble house, which really made the little brother shine!"
Cui Ye smiled: "Go, go, go, come again, be careful that the two of us beat you!" ”
Xu Feng also laughed and said, "Didn't you say that there are rare things? What else did I say that Shouqian and I have never eaten, senior brother, I am so greedy, I really can't help it, so I came over in advance to find out! Declare it in advance, if Wenxuan finds something to fool us, we won't spare you! We're taking time out of our busy schedules. This is you, someone else's face, we don't give it yet! Ha ha! ”
Zhong Hao said in his heart: You are idle all day long, and you are left with your handsome concubines and maids at home, and you are still busy! Xu Feng participated in the provincial examination this year, although he failed the list, but the level is still there, a big reason is because the style of writing is not the mainstream, so he was dethroned.
After Xu Feng came back from the list, Xu Shanchang didn't supervise his reading much, firstly, he felt that his level was enough, and secondly, he felt that Xu Feng was also old, and it was not appropriate to discipline him like he did when he was young. It is because Xu Feng is very free now, except for occasionally reading books and helping Xu Shanchang take care of the academy, there is basically nothing to do.
However, Zhong Hao naturally didn't care about Xu Feng's jokes, and when Xiao followed his meaning, he smiled and said: "The two brothers can appreciate the face of the younger brother in their busy schedules, and the younger brother is grateful." Don't worry, you won't disappoint the two brothers! ”
The three of them sat down in the living room of the main room, Wan'er Mariel brought the dishes, put the cups and dishes in place, and ran to the front restaurant to work with Feng.
"Wen Xuan has any rare things, hurry up and take them out, don't hang the appetite of senior brother!" Of the three, Xu Feng is the oldest, but he has the most untouched temperament and can't bear it.
Zhong Hao brought up a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes and let the two of them taste them.
Xu Feng followed Zhong Hao's example, peeled off some of the sweet potato skin, and took a bite of the yellow sweet potato. "Well, yes, it's sweet, I haven't eaten this thing before! Although it looks average, it tastes really good! ”
Although Cui Ye was born in a famous family, he is not the kind of person who can't put down the shelf, so he also picked up a piece and tasted it at the moment. "Not to mention, we really haven't seen this thing like Wen Xuan! Where did Wenxuan get it from? ”
"This is the younger brother from an ancient book to see the record of this crop, accidentally saw the barren mountain found it!" Zhong Hao casually repeated the perfunctory words when Xu asked him about the source of the potatoes.
"Yo, Wenxuan has read a lot!" Xu Feng teased.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I've read miscellaneous books!"
Zhong Hao suddenly remembered that next year, his potatoes and sweet potatoes would not be able to be planted in the yard. If I buy a few acres of land to go to Zhongzhong, I am afraid that I will not have so much time to take care of it, and I am really afraid that people will steal the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the ground.
At that moment, Zhong Hao opened his mouth and asked Cui Ye, "I wonder if there is a place for the sixth brother to plant these crops at home?" In addition to this sweet potato, there is also a kind of potato, all of which are high-yield grain crops that can yield ten stones per mu, these are all treasures! ”
Cui Ye and Xu Feng were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but ask in unison: "This thing can really produce ten stones per mu!" ”
Zhong Hao said firmly: "Little brother dares to talk nonsense, this thing can really produce at least ten stones per mu!" ”
Cui Ye said: "Then this is the treasure of Ze and the people, if Wen Xuan can trust me, he will plant it in the grange by my Cui Jiayao Wang Lake." It's close to the city, so it's easy for Wen Xuan to take care of it. I'll arrange a special old farmer to help you take care of it, and by the way, I will be a caretaker for this baby! ”
"Then thank you Sixth Brother!"
"Wen Xuan is not afraid that the sixth brother will take it for himself, if this is dedicated to the imperial court, it will definitely be a great merit, and I am afraid that it will be okay to be an official and enter the knight!"
"If the sixth brother wants this thing, take it! Our brothers are still sharing each other, and the sixth brother has benefited from entering the court, and he will definitely not be unable to treat the younger brother badly! "In fact, with the Cui family's big business, it may not be rare to offer treasures to win the way to advancement. Again, the planting method of potatoes and sweet potatoes is not understood by people at this time, even if Cui Ye wants to sacrifice to the imperial court, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave Zhong Hao alone to offer.
Cui Ye was very moved when he saw Zhong Hao trusting him so much, and said immediately: "Since Wenxuan trusts the sixth brother so much, then plant it in my family's grange, and the sixth brother will definitely take care of you!" ”
"Hey, third brother, you leave me a few pieces, hey!" Cui Ye hurriedly went to grab the last piece of roasted sweet potato in the bamboo plate. It turned out that when Zhong Hao and Cui Ye were talking, Xu Feng had already eaten the roasted sweet potato in the bamboo plate until the last piece was left.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, Zhong Hao was afraid that they would dislike the sweet potatoes he roasted and didn't want to eat them, but he didn't expect that he would eat a small piece and it had already been robbed by them.
After eating sweet potatoes, Zhong Hao beckoned the two to drink and eat.
"The two brothers taste the craftsmanship of the younger brother, the simple food and thin wine, and the two brothers take care of it, 'don't laugh at the farmer's wine'!
Xu Feng looked at the incomparably clear "Jade Liquid" wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Haha, Wenxuan's wine is still muddy, Da Song really has no clear wine!" ”
Cui Ye also smiled: "That's it, if this is muddy wine, there is really no sake!" I heard that Wen Xuan, who stir-fried vegetables and shochu, also saw it from the lost ancient books, Wen Xuan is really well-read! The sixth brother is ashamed of himself! ”
"The sixth brother has won the award, it's just some miscellaneous books, and Yu Zhen's knowledge doesn't help much!" Zhong Hao said humbly.
Xu Feng smiled: "I don't know which ancient book Wen Xuan saw it on?" The third brother really wanted to see it. But Wen Xuan, don't worry, the third brother will never learn this secret skill! ”
Zhong Hao said apologetically: "It's not that the junior brother cares about these secret skills. The third brother has to learn these things, and the younger brother will definitely not hide them. It's just that last year's flood in the Yellow River washed my little brother's house dry and quiet, and these ancient books are also gone, alas, even my little sister has been separated! Saying that, Zhong Hao looked sad, and his eyes were really a little ****. It's not that he really has a heartache for the flood that washed away the ancient books, but suddenly remembered his little sister.
Xu Feng saw that his casual remark aroused Zhong Hao's sadness, and he couldn't help but regret it. How did you forget that Zhong Hao said that when he fled to Qingzhou, he was alone, and even her little sister was separated. There are still any ancient books, they must have been washed away by the flood last year.
Xu Feng hurriedly said: "Oh, it's the third brother who is wrong, the third brother is curious for a while, and he forgot about Wenxuan, I'm really sorry!" ”
Zhong Hao said: "The past is all over the past, and we have to look at the past and the present!" If it weren't for the flood that washed away the younger brother's house, how could the younger brother meet his aunt and Wan'er, the two relatives, and how could he meet the third brother and the sixth brother, two good brothers. Everything in the world, a drink and a peck, has its own destiny, and the little brother can think about it! ”
Xu Feng raised his glass and said, "Then let's toast that damn water together, if it weren't for that damn water, our brothers wouldn't have a chance to see it!" ”
Zhong Hao also said heroically: "Yes, respect for that damn water!" ”
The three of them raised their glasses and drank together, shouting happily.
Zhong Hao remembered that he had invited them to come here today, and immediately spoke: "What do the two brothers think of this 'jade liquid' wine?" ”
Cui Ye opened his mouth and said: "Crystal clear, sweet in the mouth, it is good wine!" ”
Xu Feng also said: "It's just that this is clear and clear, it is definitely not ordinary, Wenxuan's secret technique is really extraordinary!" ”
Zhong Hao sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity, I'm afraid the two brothers won't be able to drink it in the future!" ”
"Why, Wen Xuan is still reluctant to give his brother a drink in the future!"
"It's not that the little brother won't give it, I'm afraid the county won't let it brew in the future!"
"Tell me what to say!"
At that moment, Zhong Hao said that the county lieutenant Zheng instructed the household house and did not approve the "buying" document of the natural residence, and then took the opportunity to mention the matter of asking the two of them to help introduce Master Zhao!
Xu Feng said angrily: "This Zheng Lang is really hateful, that time he harmed Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan didn't do much to him, this time he also beat a rake, and made a stumbling block to Wen Xuan, it's really annoying!" Wen Xuan is the most anxious, why don't you just think of a way to clean him up?! Third brother supports you! ”
The Cui family is a wealthy family, and they know more about the affairs of the county, so they said in a deep voice: "It's no problem to help you introduce Master Zhao, but this Master Zhao is the most afraid of things, and I'm afraid that I don't want to offend County Lieutenant Zheng!" This Zhao master book is not from the scientific examination, he was originally the household secretary of Linzi County, because the boss at that time appreciated and promoted, he was able to move from the economic system to the internal official, because the internal official was not allowed to be a local official, so he was transferred by the Linzi County household secretary to the main secretary of Yidu County. He has no roots in Yidu County, and he is not from the right path, so he thinks that he is the most cautious. Since County Lieutenant Zheng wants to live in embarrassment, he is afraid that he will not dare to fight against County Lieutenant Zheng! ”
Zhong Hao couldn't help but have a bitter face, and said astringently: "Then how is this good?" ”
Cui Ye said: "Master Zhao's book doesn't work, we can find Song Zhixian, after all, he is the main hall of the county." In the past, our Yidu County Lieutenant Zheng covered the sky with one hand, but since your case, Song Zhixian has ruthlessly cut the face of the Zheng County Lieutenant and began to take power, and he has been competing with the Zheng County Lieutenant recently! You don't have to worry about this, I'll go to Song Zhixian, he will definitely help with this little matter! "Cui Ye has actually visited Song Zhixian because of Zhong Hao's case, and the Cui family's face is still very useful.
"Then if the younger brother prepares a gift, the sixth brother will bring it to Song Zhixian by the way. Last time in the case of the younger brother, Mengsong Zhi County took more shelter, and this time he will trouble him again! ”
Cui Ye smiled slightly and said: "Then Zheng Lang always can't get along with you, if you just find a way to deal with him, not only to get angry with yourself, but also to help Song Zhixian, it is easier to get Song Zhixian appreciation than sending some yellow and white things!" ”
Xu Feng said: "That is, Wen Xuan thinks of a way to extinguish Zheng Lang's arrogance, otherwise even if you pass this level, he will give you a stumbling block in the future." After all, he is in charge of a county commander, and he has too many means to deal with you, and it is difficult for you to guard against it! Maybe I'll bite you when I want, only a thousand days to be a thief, no thousand days to prevent thieves! ”
Zhong Hao thought about it and really came up with a solution.
Of course, if you want to implement it, you need Cui Ye's help.
When Zhong Hao said it, the three of them took a closer look.
