Chapter Ninety-Eight: Things Are Well Done

Zhang Xiangwen couldn't understand this reason, why did his uncle open two Baohe buildings in Zhoucheng and Yunxi, why these two restaurants not only have good business, but also no half of the local green skin dares to make trouble, not because there are his second and third uncles standing behind.

The tung oil business is bigger than the restaurant business, making more money, and the people standing behind it are only afraid that they are more powerful.

"Okay, don't think about it, this is not allowed, I have already asked your sister-in-law to start hoarding oil, even if you can't do it big, you can make a little money", speaking of this, Tang Cheng said to Zhang Xiangwen: "By the way, your uncle is also in business, you can persuade him to do this." ”

Zhang Xiangwen shook his head when he heard this, "My uncles and my father have a 'sex', and they are the most cautious in doing things, my uncle has just opened a wine shop and a store in a row now, and now there is still money and effort to 'intervene' in the tung oil business, you haven't seen him, his favorite sentence is ' It's better to be raw than cooked', even when I was persuaded to study in the county school with peace of mind, this is what I said; besides, even if he is willing, my second uncle will not agree, whether it is Sun Yuanjun or the people behind those tung oil shops, my second uncle definitely does not want to offend."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded, it is better to be raw than cooked, Zhang Xiangwen's uncle is really right, plus he is opening a shop in a row, now he is afraid that he will not have any money left to invest in the tung oil business, the wine shop is better, the warehouse is the most expensive, not to mention that if you really want to "intervene" in the tung oil business, the money needed is not a little bit of money.

Because this matter has not yet been decided, the two of them did not talk about it anymore, after eating, Tang Cheng stayed at the inn to wait for Wu Yujun's news, since he was sure that he could meet Sun Tingshi, then Zhang Sima had to ventilate in advance, and then Sun Tingshi and Zhang Sima worked together, and the matter of Master Yao's book could be settled today.

Zhang Xiangwen went to his second uncle's house after dinner. brought the old gantou back with him, and he couldn't say if he wanted to see him. There are also two middle-aged men with them, but although these two people are wearing ordinary clothes, the smell on their bodies is not easy to hide.

In the morning, when Zhang Xiangwen had dinner, he said that his second uncle had always been cautious, and it was really true to look at it now.

Wu Yujun came over at the beginning of the afternoon, and there was nothing extra to say at the moment. Tang Cheng took Lao Gan into the car and followed him all the way to the Assassin's Mansion.

This is the first time Tang Cheng has seen Sun Tingshi, he is in his forties, with a clear face, and when he speaks, he is not as powerful as the local official in the TV series in later generations, but he is a little soft, he is a typical Jiangnan character, he doesn't talk much, and he talks less to Tang Cheng. Most of the time he just listens quietly, and even if he asks, he mostly asks directly.

The meeting in the study of the envoy was not long, not even half an hour, after reading the confession and listening to what the old man said. This meeting is over. Sun Yuanjun didn't say much, but only told Lao Gantou to go directly to Zhang Sima with a confession after leaving the house.

When Tang Cheng heard this, he knew that this matter was done, and he didn't stay any longer. Resign with Lao Gan'er.

The lunch was eaten in the palace, and the guest was still accompanied by Wu Yujun, and there were not many fancy dishes, three people were only four dishes and a soup, but it was exquisite, and it was worth mentioning that the wine was also good.

"I've found someone to bring the letter back about the peach petals, if it's slow, it's the day after tomorrow at the latest, and if it's fast, it can be delivered tomorrow." On the way out of the house after eating, Tang Cheng said to Wu Yujun with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Wu can think about the matter of tung oil, I'm afraid this news won't be covered up for long, if you want to do it, the sooner the better."

Wu Yujun looked at the old Gan Tou who was following behind, and pulled Tang Cheng aside, "Don't be afraid of Brother Tang, you are laughing, my sister has to make up your mind about this matter, don't rush back first." Let's wait for a day or two in the state city. If my sister really wants to do this business, she will have to ask you about it."

After all, it's a big business. Mrs. Wu said that she had to find the court newspaper first, and then think about it repeatedly, or even have to discuss it with Sun Yuanjun before she could make an idea, and it was indeed impossible to make a quick decision, Tang Cheng nodded with a smile when she heard this: "Since Brother Wu said it, I will follow it."

"I have a lot of people to deal with, and I still feel like I'm in love with you, and I'm happy!" , Wu Yujun smiled and patted Tang Cheng's shoulder, "You are busy first, I will take you to a good place for recreation in the evening."

Seeing Wu Yujun's 'lewd' smile, Tang Chengcheng knew that what he said must be the land of Goolan and tiles, and after nodding with a smile, he walked out of the Assassin's Mansion from the side door with Lao Gantou'er.

Lao Gan Tou'er had those two tolerances to escort him back, Zhang Xiangwen also followed him to his second uncle's house to sit and wait for news, Tang Cheng took a nap and got up, he was bored in the inn, and went to the street to take a look.

After wandering around along the route he walked with Lan Cao'er last time, Tang Cheng remembered the result of hanging Yao's master book, and turned around and returned to the guest house behind Baohe Building without much turn.

The sun was setting, and it wasn't until dusk that Zhang Xiangwen finally came back, "Big brother, it's done!" There have been six tolerances to take the fast horse to Yunxi with my second uncle personally signed the land book, counting the footsteps, they should have gone out of the city by now", Zhang Xiangwen said here and smiled, "I have seen the book with my own eyes, and it says 'arrest immediately'!" ”。

Zhang Xiangwen smiled so thief, Tang Cheng understood after a little thought, these messengers from the state are leaving now, and it is exactly the middle of the night when they ride a fast horse to Yunxi County, and the meaning of 'arrest immediately' is to be arrested at any time, but is it just to block Master Yao's book in the bed?

Thinking of the appearance of Master Yao being pulled out of the bed, if he was still doing the things of husband and wife...... Thinking of this, between Tang Cheng and Zhang Xiangwen looking at each other, both of them couldn't help laughing.

Ever since he beat Master Yao's ruthless hand that day, Tang Cheng has been holding back a sense of depression in his heart, and at this time, with Lang Lang's laughter, this depression that has been accumulated for months has finally been cleared, "Ma Beijia didn't say anything?" After all, Master Yao is the third-in-command in the county, and if he wants to do something to him, it is impossible to completely bypass Ma Beiqi, and Tang Chengyin, who laughed at it, asked.

"I also asked, but my second uncle didn't say anything." Zhang Xiangwen shook his head regretfully, and then smiled again: "But I think he must be unbearable."

"That's right!" , Tang Cheng smiled and exhaled, "But in this case, our Yunxi County Ya has completely offended Ma Beijia."

"Yes, but Lao Ma is fifty-seven this year, and his age is only three or two years old. Besides, even if we are offended, there are also Zhang County Orders and Tiger Lord's '' hearts, what's the use of us being in a hurry." Zhang Xiangwen was talking in his mouth, and his hand had already come over to pull Tang Cheng, "I used to study in the county, but now I have arrived at the county office, it is rare to come to the state city, so I finished my business, and I just went out to take advantage of the excitement."

"I'm still waiting for someone here", Tang Chengyin said that Wu Yujun was going to come to the place at night. After hearing this, Zhang Xiangwen's face returned to normality and said: "Big brother, don't tell him that Zhang Sima is my second uncle after Wu Yujun comes."

"Don't say that Zhang Sima is your second uncle, don't even say anything about your second uncle when we enter the state city this time, right!" , see Zhang Xiangwen nodded. Tang Cheng slapped him on the shoulder, "Are you stupid to be a big brother?" deliberately making myself unhappy".

It's really taboo to ask two families for help over one thing, but this time it's a big deal after all. It has to be done thoroughly, and Zhang Xiangwen and Zhang Sima are uncles and nephews, so this is why they are like this. How could Tang Cheng go on the pole and stab in front of Wu Yujun.

The two of them waited here, but Wu Yujun didn't come, and sent the little servant over to inform him that he was going to accompany the old lady to dinner at night and couldn't get out, but Zhang Xiangwen was happy when he heard the news, and immediately pulled Tang Chengcheng and ran out.

Because they were waiting for Wu Yujun to come, the two didn't eat. At this time, Tang Chengsuo's "sex" brought Zhang Xiangwen to the shop where he ate Sanhe soup the last time he came.

The old hen soup is hot enough, the powder skin is tendony, the wontons are fresh and fragrant, in short, this Sanhe soup is still so authentic! When the old man came over with a big bowl of Sanhe soup, he specially greeted Tang Cheng, "Childe is here!" ”。

"Oh! Uncle Wang still remembers me? ”。

"Why don't you remember, the last time I came, the son gave an extra reward of more than 30 yuan!" , although Uncle Wang is wrinkled. But the smile is hearty. "Although there are many guests who come to me, it is rare to come with a lady like a child. The old man remembered it clearly."

"Well, it's delicious, big brother, the place you chose is good", Zhang Xiangwen was still unimpressed when he first came in, and after taking a bite at this time, he immediately praised it.

"It's not just this Sanhe soup, Uncle Wang's sour noodles are also a unique job", looking at the old man with white hair and wrinkled face, Tang Cheng's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Baohelou can make noodles, snacks are really not good, second brother, you can recommend Uncle Wang to the shopkeeper."

Tang Chengyuan felt that it was not easy for Uncle Wang to set up a stall on the street at such an old age, it was cold in winter and hot in summer, so Baohe Lou should be more comfortable, and besides, with his craftsmanship, Baohe Lou would not suffer a loss when he invited him.

Who knew that after he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Xiangwen to speak, Uncle Wang was already smiling and shaking his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm very good here, the neighbors are used to me, and I'm also used to listening to them talk and laugh when I'm busy, and I'm full of life." If you want to make money, it's enough to eat and save a little for the elderly, but I can't use it no matter how much I have! After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he smiled and went back to work.

In fact, since Zhang Xiangwen came back from his second uncle last night, Tang Chengdi's mind has shifted to the tung oil business for more than half of his thoughts, he is a poor person, and there are many places to use money at home.

For him who is in a hurry to make money, Uncle Wang's words sound a different taste, looking at the serene and hearty smile on the face of the white-haired Uncle Wang, Tang Cheng actually has some envy in his heart, there are many Masters in the market, even if this Uncle Wang doesn't know a word, but this open-mindedness to look down on money really has the style of Coats.

But Xinxian is just Xinxian after all, Tang Cheng knows his own situation, so he doesn't talk about himself, just if he wants the second elder in the family to live as comfortably as Uncle Wang in the future, he has to work hard.

After eating, the two wandered around for a long time before returning to the inn, and the next morning, when Tang Cheng was eating with Zhang Xiangwen after freshening up, the little second brother who ran the hall came over and said that the fish that the young master ordered to be sent yesterday had arrived.

After listening to the little second brother who ran the hall, Tang Que was surprised and said, "So fast!" ”。

"It's a night road", Zhang Xiangwen snorted and drank two sips of the bowl, then stood up and wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go, take a look!" ”。

Tang Cheng has always eaten quickly, but he is not as anxious as Zhang Xiangwen. After drinking all the japonica rice porridge in the bowl, he got up and walked outside.

The two people who sent the peach petals were the ones that Zhang Xiangwen used to take with him when he was in the county school, Zhang Xiangwen was really right, at this time, these two people had a haggard "color" on their faces, and they were clearly on the night road for a night.

Zhang Xiangwen pointed to Lu Feng, who was more than half a person tall on the carriage, and asked, "Big brother, this is what you ordered to the shopkeeper yesterday?" ”。

"Yes", Tang Cheng got into the car and looked at Lu Fengnei, only to see that there were about twenty peach petals swimming in the big wooden barrel. There's even some aquatic plants on the bucket surface.

Tang Chengtan went down to catch fish, and as soon as he touched it, the fish splashed up a splash and swam away, which was really happy.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng was very happy when he got off the wheel, "Look at how happy this fish is, it couldn't be fresher!" Second brother, you really have to live for me when you go back, thank you, fourth uncle, it's not easy to get so many fish in just one afternoon. Peach petals are not easy to find, and the rarest thing is that these dozen or so fish are all about two catties, which is the best time to eat."

"I told you earlier, after handing over everything to my fourth uncle, I will properly put my heart in place", Zhang Xiangwen looked up at the sky. "Big brother, it's not too early, since you still have something to do in the state city, then I'll go back first, and now I'm leading the errand."

After sending Zhang Xiangwen away. Tang Cheng took advantage of the situation and went to Wu Yujun's tea house in Beishi, and since he got the fish, he sent it while it was fresh.

Wu Yujun also didn't have long after he arrived at the shop, and when he heard that the fish had arrived, he immediately said exactly the same words as Tang Cheng just now, "So fast? ”。

"How dare I neglect what Brother Wu ordered, this was delivered by the night road all night", Tang Que smiled when he heard this. "Brother Wu, do you think you want to send it over now?"

"Let's go, I'll send it over, just in time for noon to eat", when the two walked out, Wu Yujun's hands were on Tang Cheng's shoulders, and the two of them hooked their shoulders and shook their backs out, "Now the old lady is happy, and she is happy." My sister can't praise me if she wants to. Hey! My brother and you are getting more and more in love! ”。

After getting into Wu Yujun's carriage and going to Baohe Building, he saw the fish jumping happily in the newly made wooden barrels. Wu Yujun really couldn't say anything except shaking his thumb at Tang Cheng, this Tang Cheng, he really knows how to do things, he even thinks of this method, the old lady wants to eat fresh fish, but is there a fish more fresh than this?

After instructing the coachman to follow him with the carriage loaded with fish buckets, Wu Yujun beckoned to Tang Cheng, who was standing on the side, and said, "Brother, why are you still standing stupidly, come up!" ”。

The two carriages entered the Thorn Shi Mansion from the side door one after the other, and after arriving at the small courtyard where the stove room was located, Wu Yujun made people unload the wooden barrels, but did not let the people in the stove room catch fish, "The old lady has been talking about this peach petal several times, and now she is jumping up and down, so I have to invite her old man to take a look, calm the tide, and entertain Young Master Tang, I will come when I go."

"Yes, uncle", the head of the stove room who called Guan Ping 'tide' welcomed Tang Cheng to the side of the room to serve tea, but he only continued his work on the water and ground, and then he heard the sound of salute outside for a while, obviously the old lady arrived.

Tang Cheng walked out with Fusheng, and saw Wu Yujun outside walking in with two "women", the silver-haired old man in the middle was needless to say that it was Mrs. Sun, and the old lady was holding her with a light fat powder, wearing a middle-aged "woman" who was wearing a five-halo Luo sprinkled gold and seven pleated skirts.

Wu Yujun saw Tang Cheng, but he didn't greet him, and led his sister and the old lady directly to the big wooden barrel. He muttered, and when he stood up straight a moment later, he was already holding a two-pound peach petal in his hand.

"No wonder the old lady is worried, this fish is stunned like rouge, why do you say it grows this 'color'!" Wu Yujun held the fish to the old lady in front of the treasure, when the sky "color" was close to noon, it was the best time of the day, the peach petals slender fish every two fingers wide interval there is a light pink like peach blossom red, the whole fish red and white is beautiful, this kind of fish is known for its beauty, now under the bright sunshine, the red and white fish scales with water droplets "shoot" out of the sun's brilliance, more and more beautiful.

"Daughter-in-law, you see how eye-catching this fish is, and everyone who sees it is reluctant to eat it!" , The old lady was happy to see it, and when she was patting her daughter-in-law's hand and saying this, the fish suddenly shook in Wu Yujun's hand, and threw out a starry splash on the face of Mrs. Sun. Look at how jubilant this fish is, if you want to eat the fish, you have to be fresh, well, Yujun, this kid can do things, and the size is also good, Xiu'er, you tell no one to move this fish, it's good to live, mother-in-law will make you a fly to chop at noon to taste, why, don't believe in mother-in-law's craftsmanship? Let me tell you, God-given but I liked the fish trays I made since I was a child, and let him taste your light at noon! ”。

While talking, the old lady also stretched out her hand to order the fish, and as the fish body did not soar for a while, the old lady laughed again.

was called out by her mother-in-law in public, Mrs. Sun inevitably had some shame on her face, but she had always treated her mother-in-law with filial piety, and it was her own brother who did this well. "" the knife sounds, if it is in rhythm', and also chanted the poem "The loving mother swings the frost knife left and right, and the snow is high on the golden plate", and the daughter-in-law and "wife" have always regretted that they can't taste it in person, but now they have a long-cherished wish."

"You kid, if you want to eat early, just say no to your mother", the old lady who heard this was happy, and she smiled and patted her daughter-in-law and held her hand, "The flying knife has to have good fresh fish, Xiu'er, your brother is good, but it's not all for him to do things, the important thing is the filial piety to the mother, well, good!" It's really good."

The younger brother "revealed" his face to make his mother-in-law happy, and Mrs. Sun's face as a sister was also bright, but Wu Yujun was also a bachelor, and he beckoned to Tang Cheng, who was standing on the side, while promising nice words in his mouth, "Although this matter is under my control, it is he who really 'fucks', Tang Cheng!" I just told him about this yesterday, and it arrived early this morning, old lady, you may not know, this peach petal fish is only available in the countryside of Yunxi County under Jinzhou, far away, in order to let the old lady you see this fresh fish early, Tang Cheng's family rushed to the night road all night! ”。

When did I say that my family had brought it by night? This Wu Yujun can still speak in the vernacular, although he thinks so in his heart, but Tang Cheng knows that Wu Yujun gave him a long face, so he will not say anything more, and bowed to Mrs. Sun with a smile: "It is really not easy for the old lady to come to Jinzhou from the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan Province, these fish are still worth saying?" On weekdays, there is a foreigner at home who has to be received wholeheartedly, Mo said that it is just these few fish, the old lady but what do you want to eat and want to play, and she is a native of Jinzhou, and she should be dedicated to herself. It's good to let the old lady live in Jinzhou healthy, comfortable and happy."

The root of Tang Cheng's words is to be sent out as a native of Jinzhou, although it sounds really good, but it does not have the slightest flattery, as an old lady of the official eunuch family, Mrs. Sun has seen more people, but it is rare to be able to respond so decently at Tang Cheng's age, after carefully looking at Tang Cheng, Mrs. Sun turned her head to her daughter-in-law and said: "Your brother has made good friends, this Tang growth spirit, the words are also good."
