Chapter 11 Breadwinners

Back at home, Zhang Dazhu's family was still in the house, and Gao Yue was already asleep.

Gao Sheng didn't say anything about everything that happened to the Gao family, let Zhang Dazhu and Tian take Zhang Shi back to rest at such a late hour.

Before leaving, Tian looked at his gloomy face, knowing that he must have encountered something bad in Gao's house, and dragged her husband, who was about to ask about passing, directly home.

When Zhang Dazhu's family walked away, Gao Sheng couldn't sleep, so he simply collected all the ashes in the stove, and then filtered and heated them to make alkaline water.

Looking at a bucket full of alkaline water, the corners of Gao Sheng's mouth, who was busy until late at night, curled slightly, leaking a satisfied smile.

Following.

As soon as the sky was bright, Gao Sheng got up and dressed neatly, and saw that Gao Yue was still asleep, breathing steadily, so he was relieved to wash.

Then, he fried the leftover steamed buns from last night in soybean oil, and the fragrant fried steamed buns were baked.

He was about to make a trip to Shanghe Village after breakfast, when there was a knock on the broken wooden door of the thatched house.

Gao Sheng wondered in his heart, who would come to him so early in such a hurry?

When I opened the door that was about to fall apart, I saw a familiar face with Chinese characters.

"Did you come here with a meal?"

"Third brother, I went back last night to think about it, it would be better for me to go to Shanghe Village with you, so that you don't have to be busy alone."

Zhang Dazhu was carrying a heavy bag, he didn't know what it contained, and smiled awkwardly outside the door.

Gao Sheng was slightly stunned, and he wondered in his heart that Zhang Dazhu's brain was missing a string, and he could change his mind overnight, it was impossible to go to Shanghe Village with him, it must be Tian's idea.

He didn't get to the bottom of Zhang Dazhu, and beckoned Zhang Dazhu to come in and have breakfast together.

After Zhang Dazhu entered the door and sat down, he handed the pocket to Gao Sheng, and said to him with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Third brother, my lady asked me to bring you and Yaya some millet noodles, don't be too little." ”

Zhang Dazhu handed him the bulging bag.

"I'll treat this bag of millet noodles as your part of the gang."

Gao Sheng did not refuse the bag of millet noodles brought by Zhang Dazhu, not because he couldn't open the pot now.

This is the friendship between the two of them who have been wearing open crotch pants since childhood, just like what Gao Sheng wants to do for a living, and he is the first to think about letting Zhang Dazhu join the gang.

Although Zhang Dazhu didn't know what Gao Sheng wanted to do to make a living, he had been looking forward to Gao Sheng since he was a child, and he had the support of the Tian family, so he felt that even if Gao Sheng's livelihood could not make a fortune, Gao Sheng would definitely not pit him.

When he ate the fried steamed buns that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, Zhang Dazhu was even more sure of the idea in his heart, the steamed buns made by Gao Sheng were so delicious, even if he sold steamed buns, it was also a way to support his family.

……

After entrusting Gao Yue to Tian, Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu, who had prepared properly, rushed to Shanghe Village under the scorching sun in the early morning.

Today is the day of Shanghe Village, and the people of ten miles and eight towns, as well as the merchants and craftsmen of nearby villages will gather in Shanghe Village.

As the name suggests, Shanghe Village is the same as Xiahe Village, both are riverside villages, or the same river, except that Shanghe Village is in the upper reaches of the river and Xiahe Village is downstream.

Shanghe Village originally had more than 300 households, and since the imperial court assigned Shanghe Village to the scope of King Zheng's food households, King Zheng's Mansion sent another 100 parents to the village.

Now Shanghe Village, a total of more than 500 households, in the Tang Dynasty have caught up with the scale of small county seats, belongs to the level above the town, if it is not for Shanghe Village belongs to the scope of King Zheng's food, I am afraid that the government would have set up a town to govern.

There are all kinds of small businesses in the village, as well as blacksmiths, bricklayers and many craftsmen, and even wine shops, restaurants and other places for consumption and entertainment.

Merchants from several nearby villages come here to sell all kinds of goods.

Of course, you can also go to Chang'an, the capital to make a living, but Chang'an City is far away, and you are not allowed to sell all over the street in Chang'an City.

Goods sold in Chang'an City can only be sold in the East Market and the West Market, which are the two CBD central business districts of Chang'an City.

But these two markets, after noon on the day, the market drum is not sounding, and no one dares to open for trading?

A merchant in the countryside on the outskirts of the city worked hard to rush to Chang'an City, after the market opened at noon, the market closed before sunset, and he had to rush back home, otherwise he would miss the hour and not even be able to get out of the city, let alone out of the city.

Is this a trade or a foot fight?

Therefore, the merchants in the neighboring villages would rather come to Shanghe Village early in the morning to set up stalls and do small business, rather than go to the east and west markets of Chang'an City to join in the fun, lest they not be able to return home late in the morning.

The mentality of the nearby merchants also indirectly prospered the villages and cities on the river.

Gao Sheng and Zhang Dazhu came to Shanghe Village, and many merchants had already arrived in the village and market of Shanghe Village to set up stalls and open for business.

Gao Sheng did not grab the prime location with these merchants, and directly took Zhang Dazhu to the gate of King Zheng's Villa behind Shanghe Village, camped under a big tree, and then let the items picked by Zhang Dazhu be set up one by one to set up a stall.

"Third brother, it's not in the village and city to make a living, who will buy our steamed buns in this place?" Zhang Dazhu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Who told you I'm going to sell steamed buns?"

Gao Sheng glanced at Zhang Dazhu dissatisfied, and said in his heart, how much money does it cost to sell steamed buns in the village?

"You don't sell steamed buns!"

Zhang Dazhu was stunned, he picked up a round of millet noodles, soup that can make the old noodles not sour, as well as Chai He, various pots and pans steamers, he thought that Gao Sheng took him to steam steamed buns on the spot in Shanghe Village to sell.

"Ask less, see more."

Gao Sheng rolled his eyes at Zhang Dazhu, and didn't want to explain to an ancient Tian Shehan, and asked: "You saw the third brother making steamed buns yesterday, but have you learned?" ”

Zhang Dazhu nodded.

"Then you can set up a pot to make steamed buns, today's steamed buns can be half smaller than yesterday."

Zhang Dazhu is stupid again, this is still ready to sell steamed buns.

Although he was puzzled, Zhang Dazhu still began to support the stall, set up the pot, and make noodles according to Gao Sheng's explanation.

Gao Sheng silently watched Zhang Dazhu busy, without saying a word, he always felt that something was missing from the empty stalls.

That's right, it's advertising.

"Dazhu, do you have any money on you?" Gao Sheng asked Zhang Dazhu, who was busy.

"Brought it." Zhang Dazhu hurriedly took out a money bag wrapped in a linen hand towel from his robe, three layers inside and three layers outside, opened it layer by layer, and then handed it to Gao Sheng.

"When I went out in the morning, my daughter-in-law stuffed it to me, and said that the third brother was tight, let's make a living with the third brother, and the third brother made a skill, and we got the money."

The money bag is quite heavy in his hand, and when he opens the money bag, there are more than 30 Kaiyuan Tongbao in it, Gao Sheng slightly frowned, this Tian family is so big.

The Tian family who came into contact with Zhang Dazhu on weekdays was buttoned and skewed, and he couldn't wait to save money from between his teeth, he was so generous today, and he also encouraged Zhang Dazhu to follow him to make a living, where is an ordinary person?

"Dazhu, look at the stall, I'll come when I go."

Now is not the time to entangle Tian to become generous, he has more important things to do.

Zhang Dazhu, who was facing each other, did not raise his head in response, Gao Sheng smiled, and when he turned around and walked towards the village market, he glanced at the gate of King Zheng's Courtyard not far away, and the corners of his mouth turned up, leaking a smile that he was determined to win.

At this moment, it was still early, and there were more merchants than pedestrians in the village and market, so Gao Sheng found a bookstore to write letters, couplets, and sacrificial texts for a living, and walked straight in......
