Chapter 331: Life!
Zhen Qian found that the filling in the bowl was gone, and there was still a lot more dough, so he said to Pilates: "Go outside and pick some water celery and shallots back, and pick some dandelions, this thing has a lot of uses, not only edible and medicinal, but also good for soaking the rhizomes in water to drink, go and come back quickly, and wait for the ravioli?" ”
After Zhen Qian was rescued by Pilates last time, this guy used dandelion and some other herbs to reduce his fever, clear heat and detoxify, and afterwards this guy proudly told others that if it weren't for his own local methods, Zhen Gan's illness would not have healed so quickly.
However, dandelion is a really good plant, and pickled dandelion buds have a refreshing effect. The root of dandelion can be eaten and can also be used as a substitute for coffee to make water. Dandelion flowers can be used to make wine. Dandelion leaves can be eaten raw, and their bitterness creates a nice flavor when mixed with strong flavorful oils and vinegars. Dandelions can be eaten raw not only but also cooked. Dandelion fried shredded pork has the effect of tonifying and detoxifying qi, and these children from the countryside know some of it.
Fujiwara Shuxiong said with a smile: "Now the Zhen family is also a philanthropic family in Yangzhou, others buy houses in the city, but you buy land outside the city, as for the curfew you said, I don't believe it, but this kind of thing is useful for civilians, and it is of little effect on Zhen Lang now, county man!" I'm afraid there are few in Yangzhou City! ”
Zhen Qian pursed his lips, and didn't want to pay attention to Fujiwara's words of brushing male acid, what is called a philanthropist!
The consequences of a homeless riot in the canal have begun to appear in Yangzhou, first of all, the price of grain, the people take food as the sky, no one knows how much food was lost in the riot, anyway, the loss is lost, and the merchants who still have grain in their hands will have no reason if the price does not rise.
When the price of food rises, salt will naturally rise, and then everything that can be eaten will follow the trend and increase in price, which is an unchanging truth throughout the ages.
Zhen Qian bought some grain at a high price during the homeless riot, and the price increased by 10% compared with usual, which was still because of the fact that some of the things were divided in the drunken immortal building, which was regarded as an exchange of interests between businessmen, which was nothing to say.
What goes up in price has something that goes down, which is also a law, and the price of slaves in Yangzhou City has fallen by 30%. Since the exiles participated in the riots, they had to be punished after being arrested, and the heads of the heads were killed, and the exiles were exiled, and the servants became slaves for sale, so that the number of slaves in Yangzhou suddenly increased several times.
The house prices in Yangzhou City have risen by one percent, and the house prices outside the city have fallen by more than two percent.
The house is less than ten miles away from Tangyangzhou City, it is a very good location, the location is not far from the south of the Twenty-four Bridge, less than five miles away from the Slender West Lake in the later generations, if it is two hundred years later, it should be the edge of Luocheng in the Song Dynasty.
Zhen Qian felt that he had done a stupid thing in the Tang Dynasty to buy and return the pearls, in fact, this mansion is really good, looking at the past are decades of antiques, the foundation and main beams have been hundreds of years old, the doors and windows were renovated once thirty years ago, the whole mansion looks simple and atmospheric, but in the eyes of the seller, there is a cheesiness.
The seller put 20 acres of mulberry fields and the house together for sale, and he liked 20 acres of mulberry fields, but Sang Tian had no interest in Zhen Qian at all, but the seller was unwilling to sell them together.
Zhen Qian bought Sangtian what can he do, with Sangtian he has to raise silkworms, and then sell cocoons, the profit in this is less can only support his family, and he doesn't want to get involved in the silk industry, what is the use of buying Sangtian, he originally wanted to sell it, but he heard that the government is selling a batch of slaves, the price is only sixty percent of the previous one, all of them are dead homeless families, spent 500 yuan to buy more than 100 old and weak women and children, Yangzhou County Ya immediately sent a "philanthropist" plaque.
Fujiwara Shuxiong made fun of Zhen Qian with the "philanthropic family", which made it difficult for Zhen Qian to argue, women, children, old and young are a burden, Zhen Qian's reason for buying hundreds of people is high-sounding, planting trees and raising silkworms and reeling silk spinning every process requires people, less than thirty percent of these people can do things, and there are twenty or thirty half-grown children, who looks at this business is a big loss.
Even the yamen couldn't stand it, and stuffed five or six twenty-eight-year-old women into the slaves for sale, which was considered compensation, and finally said that there would be more than 100 remaining slaves soon, ready to be half sold and half given to Zhen Qian, and now they can't sell them and they will have to raise them at a big loss.
Fujiwara sneered and said: "Now I'm a black pot, I don't even have a place to reason with what you did, you look at me from the outside, if I don't compensate, I'll go to the palace to shout grievances!" ”
Zhen Qian took out a bamboo tube from the wine cabinet and put it in front of Fujiwara Shuxiong and said: "This is the best bamboo tube wine, the drunken immortal building has a price and no market, and the people who are scheduled are all scheduled until the end of next year, is this considered compensation!" ”
Fujiwara Shuo stretched out three fingers and said: "Three tubes of such wine, one less tube I will be in a hurry with you!" ”
The pale yellow liquor was poured out of the bamboo tube, and Fujiwara Brush Ao sniffed with an extremely greedy expression: "Good wine!" I made a lot of money", he poured a mouthful into his mouth, blinked his mouth and continued: "Your requirements are too high, the woman in the Qinglou is still said to be in the past if you don't touch your hands, a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, half a little red lips and ten thousand tastes, you have a habit of cleanliness, I think you also have a habit of cleanliness in your heart, the yellow flower girl of Erba, you insist that you are a fish, ******** this is a figure only a young woman has, which unmarried woman has such a figure, you are picking a fairy!" ”
The two maidservants sent by the Wang family for trial marriage, since they were frightened last time, trembled every time they saw Zhen Qian, like a little white sheep seeing a big bad wolf, looking ridiculous.
When I went to the palace as a guest two days ago, I was going to send the two maidservants back to the Wang family, but Wang Bo said that Wang Yingying had left Yangzhou, and I couldn't do this by myself, so I could only stay in the drunken fairy building to help in the backyard, and Zhen Qian was not willing to raise two wasters.
"Actually, this kind of leisurely life is what I want now,...... Don't laugh, people live for a lifetime, grass and trees for an autumn, since you have to choose what you want the most, if you don't need a title to protect your current industry, I don't even want this title! Zhen Qian said a lot to Fujiwara Shuxiong, these are the real thoughts, the kind of drunken life in the later generations feels empty in themselves, and lives like a dog for being rich and unkind, and living like a dog, material satisfaction does not mean spiritual pleasure.
"Fujiwara-kun, if the deputy envoy sent to Tang at the end of February has not been implemented, I will go to the capital to accept the knighthood.
