Chapter 54: Meet Princess Kunxing Again
The weather is getting colder and colder, in order to resist the cold, there must be many people who choose to build a stove at night to keep out the cold, if the room is closed, the possibility of gas poisoning is still very large. Chen Yue felt that it was very necessary to remind the people who use honeycomb coal to keep the air in the house properly circulated while sleeping, so as to avoid gas poisoning.
Of course, he couldn't go to every house and say that he didn't have so much time, and of course there was no need to do so, just tell the military households and coal dealers who were in charge of selling honeycomb coal.
The honeycomb coal supply from the coal yard outside the city is the military household sales group belonging to Chen Jianghe, who will come to the coal yard almost every day to pull coal, and only need to tell Ma, who cooks, the precautions for lighting honeycomb coal at night to keep out the cold, and let Ma tell her husband Du Yuan, who is now the leader of the sales team, and he can inform the sales team to tell their respective customers the precautions.
The honeycomb coal supply in the coal yard in the city is the coal dealers who originally belonged to the Yangjia coal yard, and now most of these coal dealers are managed by Ma Gong and Wu Liang, so they only need to tell Ma Gong and Wu Liang about the matter.
Without further ado, in order to prevent honeycomb poisoning from happening, Chen Yue immediately said goodbye to Wu Wan'er and headed towards the city. After taking a look at the coal yard in the city, the military households who made briquettes, the coal dealers who came to pull briquettes, and Lu Xiucai, the account room who was busy recording the number of shipments, were all busy.
Chen Yue did not stay in the coal yard for long, and walked into the inner city towards Xuanwumen Inner Street, and now the sales area of Chenjia Coal Yard is still limited to the west of the inner city, and the streets and alleys on the west side of Xuanwumen Inner Street. Chen Yue did not carry out blind and uncontrolled business expansion, but only relied on the two of them to win over coal dealers in other coal yards to expand customers.
Because Chen Yue knows that his current strength is still very weak, it is okay to make a small fight now, and he earns a few hundred taels of silver a month, which will not attract too many people's attention. But once the business expands too much, it will inevitably attract countless pairs of greedy eyes, and if it attracts the attention of the relatives and nobles of the imperial family, the business of the coal yard will definitely not be saved.
If you want to make a lot of money, you must have enough strength to match! But how can we have enough power? How can you find a strong and reliable backer? Chen Yue didn't have a bottom in his heart. People like Li Zanyuan, the son of Xiangcheng, are not good backers, and Chen Yue believes that once he finds out that the coal business is profitable, he may take the business into his own hands without waiting for others to take him away.
While thinking wildly in his heart, he walked towards Aunt Zhang's steamed bun shop, if you want to find Wu Liang, you can go to Aunt Zhang's steamed bun shop and wait for the rabbit.
"Ah Yue, why are you free?" Far away, the old horse head greeted Chen Yue warmly, and the folds on his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Uncle Ma, I'll come back to do something." Chen Yue stopped, smiled and chatted with the old horse head and other neighbors, and he could still hear the praise of the old horse head after walking far away.
"I have long known that Ah Yue's child is promising, you don't know that the Trojan horse he made is so exquisite......"
The neighbors were very enthusiastic, which made Chen Yue, who had not come back for several days, quite uncomfortable, and when he entered the bun shop, Zhang Xiuer greeted him with a smile on his face, which surprised Chen Yue even more.
What's the matter, how could Zhang Xiuer be so good to herself? actually took the initiative to smile at herself, could it be that she figured it out and was willing to listen to her mother's words to marry herself, what should I do, there is still a Wu Wan'er at home! Watching Zhang Xiuer diligently pull out the bench for herself, wipe the stool and table with a clean towel, and then quickly serve a plate of fragrant buns, Chen Yue's heart was shocked.
"That, stupid, no, Ah Yue," after a busy work, Zhang Xiuxian stood in front of Chen Yue and asked Chen Yue: "Is Lu Xianggong okay in the coal yard?" ”
It turned out that he was thinking about Lu Xiucai, who was working as a bookkeeper in the coal yard, no wonder he would be good to himself, after figuring it out, Chen Yue's heart relaxed, if Zhang Xiuer changed his mind and agreed to marry him, and Chen Jianghe and Aunt Zhang were pressing on it, Chen Yue really didn't know what to do. It's a loss, Zhang Xiu'er is still the same Zhang Xiu'er before, and her heart to marry a scholar has not changed!
"Well, Lu Xiucai is very good, he did a good job in the coal yard, and he is very conscientious." Chen Yue said.
"That, Ah Yue, can I ask you something, don't let Lu Xianggong work so hard every day, he is a showman, and he will take the township exam the year after tomorrow, so he has to have time to study." Zhang Xiuer said to Chen Yue in a hurry.
Could it be that Zhang Xiu'er would treat herself with good words, and Chen Yue didn't want Aunt Zhang to bother with her bad relationship with Zhang Xiu'er anymore, so she agreed with a smile, and promised Zhang Xiu'er that as long as Lu Xiucai did her job well, she could study and review her homework in the coal yard.
It's still the imperial examination, and the Ming Dynasty will be gone soon, Chen Yue sighed in his heart.
Ma Pole and Wu Liang were not in the bun shop, it is estimated that they were walking through the streets and alleys to attract other coal dealers, Chen Yue called the two street scoundrel boys passing by, threw them a string of copper coins and asked them to find Ma Pole and Wu Liang, and stayed in the bun shop and waited with peace of mind.
Who knew that Ma Zhu and Wu Liang didn't wait, but two unexpected "acquaintances" walked into the bun shop.
Big eyes, a slightly upturned nose, a small mouth, and the beautiful "Zhou Gongzi" walked into the bun shop with his entourage, and when she saw Chen Yue, her two eyes lit up, and she walked towards Chen Yue quickly.
"He's been to the bun shop a few times, and every time he's asked me about you." Zhang Xiu'er whispered in Chen Yue's ear. She didn't understand why such a beautiful and very noble son would get involved with Chen Yue, a coal dealer.
"Ha, Chen Yue, long time no see!" Zhou Gongzi walked over with a smile and smiled at Chen Yue.
Looking at the boy in front of him, who was dressed as a man, and remembering the situation when he fooled her into buying his shoddy Trojan horse a month ago, Chen Yue's face showed a sincere smile. This is the first person I have met in this world who does not treat myself as a fool!
"Gongzi Zhou, long time no see!" Chen Yue smiled.
Princess Kunxing jumped in front of Chen Yue, sat opposite Chen Yue, and saw Chen Yue appear in front of her, her heart beat happily.
"I've been to the bun shop a few times, but I haven't found you, they said you moved out of the city, it's so far away and it's not safe, I can't get out of the city at all. By the way, I have something to ask you for? Princess Kunxing chattered, her words full of excitement.
