Chapter Seventy-Two

Master Cui's task was unusually successfully completed, and Master Guo's goal was finally achieved, everyone was happy, and the two old men completely let go of their worries and talked happily, as for the details of some things in the future, it was Guo Dalu and Cui Yinyin's matter, the head of the family, just grasp the general direction from a high position, and the baht must be more than what the head of the family should do? I can't afford to lose that person.

By the end of the afternoon, the merchants who were close to them also came in advance, and they were all the big shopkeepers of each family. To tell the truth, the Guo family was a small landlord in the countryside before, except for the Cui and Li families who are more familiar with the left, and basically have no contact with those big businessmen, and then it is bigger, just because Mr. Guo is a showman, there are a few classmates, and there used to be a little bit of influence, but over the years, the classmates have rarely had contact, and there is little left of the past friendship, at most, they are familiar with the county government, and the county master knows that there is such a person in Guo Village under his rule.

Although the Chinese people have paid attention to the importance of human relations since ancient times, it depends on what kind of environment they are in, the Guo family has relied on the output of the land for several generations, and all the behaviors are around the surrounding landlords and their own tenants. There is no intersection with the outside world at all, do you care if you have your own penny upside down?

That is, after Guo Dalu requested to open the "Guo Family Supply and Marketing Cooperative" in Fucheng, there were a lot of contacts with merchants from all walks of life, and the reputation of the Guo family began to spread from then on. Naturally, in this process, Mr. Guo also met a few big shopkeepers with a good spleen and stomach, and through exchanges and business dealings, they slowly established a relatively stable credit with each other, and this relationship was naturally closer than other businesses.

This is the case with these few families now, the time is in advance, this seems to be close to the outside, the gift is not important, the person who comes must be the big shopkeeper himself, which gives the Guo family enough face.

Guo Dalu was taken by Mr. Guo and began to be his mascot, and when he came to a wave, he greeted him again, and listened to all kinds of compliments respectfully and repeatedly, and at the same time humbled himself.

"Jubao" Su shopkeeper, its main business is all kinds of rare treasures, this year with the Guo family's supply and marketing cooperatives have been dealing with a lot, buying away all kinds of novel luxury goods of the Guo family, selling jade gems and so on to the Guo family.

"Four Seas Commercial Bank" Han shopkeeper, its main business is textile shop, knitting and embroidery, mainly for the Guo family, embroidered pleated skirts, gold silk embroidery and so on.

"Hengshun" Du shopkeeper, the main business is a crude medicine store, buying and selling medicinal materials, mainly to provide high-quality precious Chinese medicinal materials for the Guo family.

"Qianshun" Li shopkeeper, the main carpentry shop, is also for the Guo family, of course, it is a variety of solid wood handmade furniture and the like.

"Delong Commercial Bank" Zhao shopkeeper, mainly engaged in valuable groceries, actually walked the Western Regions line, which is equivalent to international trade.

"Xiangfu Ji" Shao shopkeeper, the main ceramics shop, Guo Dalu pretending and selling porcelain basically from this.

"Xinfeng" Huang shopkeeper, mainly engaged in valuable groceries, actually went south by sea, facing the South Seas.

"Shengdechang Commercial Bank" money shopkeeper, mainly engaged in people's livelihood department stores, ordinary daily necessities.

Guo Dalu didn't do anything in the afternoon, he didn't go anywhere, he was busy receiving the eight close shopkeepers who came one after another, and he was two laps older than Guo Dalu, and his uncles didn't dare to slack off at all.

The identity of these big shopkeepers is equivalent to the status of the regional general manager of each commercial bank, and the amount of funds in their hands is measured in 100,000 taels, so it is naturally impossible to casually leave the things in hand and go to play at will, and it takes a few days to go to Guo's house to participate in such a junior's coming-of-age ceremony, which is enough to prove the importance of the Guo family and the sincerity of the attitude of their own firm.

Although there is no discussion of the same road, but they are all pinching the time to come from Fucheng, and the time of arrival before and after is not much different, after greeting in the hall, they are all old acquaintances, and they also have a common language, chatting while drinking tea, and at the same time repairing the tired body of a long-distance carriage.

Waiting for a few big shopkeepers to slow down, almost a cup of tea to drink the time, basically to the unitary time, Master Guo ordered the banquet to open, eight shopkeepers plus Master Cui Guo just ten people gathered a table, the table is Guo Dalu from the modern era specially brought over the large glass turntable round table. The traditional dining table is a square table of eight immortals, a table sits eight people, which is not good, of course, there are round tables, but the area is relatively small, the table is large and the dishes opposite are not uneaten... Now with a table with a turntable, this problem no longer exists.

No matter what the quality of modern products is, first of all, the design is humanized, which has never been compared, the era of material scarcity, it is good to have something to use, what do you want? The design of things is blunt, it's simple, and the people who use it have to adapt to the habits, and people are living hard, and no matter how awkward things are, they can get used to using them in the end!

There are too many modern products to sell, you dare to design unreasonable! It's also simple, Lao Tzu doesn't buy it, no! I don't believe that all manufacturers can't get humanized things.

So as soon as I arrived in the restaurant, the big shopkeepers expressed great curiosity about this table with a small table on the big table, the most important thing is the glass surface, this table is estimated to cost a lot of money... The Guo family took such a table to entertain everyone for dinner, and the treatment was high.

After the dishes were served, the shopkeepers opened their eyes again, the ingredients from the south of the world, the north, the east and the west were cooked by the chefs, and what was even more rare was that these ingredients were all made into the taste of Sichuan cuisine.

Don't want to bully the eight big shopkeepers who don't know, in this era, people can be regarded as genuinely well-informed, and many things on the table have been eaten, but such a one-time get so thoughtful, the eight shopkeepers said that they sighed that they couldn't do it, especially seafood, and they ate fresh goods in the sea in Shuzhong, which has never been...

And making all these ingredients into Sichuan-style dishes also shows a problem, what does it mean that chefs often make and can often do it... After careful tasting, all the dishes, except for the small size of the main ingredients, the taste is indescribably delicious.

Is Guo Dalu a person who can casually settle on the issue of eating? I can bear it for a while, can I not get mad after a long time? After the frenzy, you have to solve the actual problem. The utensils and materials needed in the kitchen must be no problem, what is missing, but the cook's craftsmanship is blind, and there is nowhere to find if you want to change people, all of them are the same, and finally come up with a stupid way, buy a bunch of modern published recipes, and then assign a few of the girls' favorite Qiu Ju to the kitchen to read the recipe to the cook, and then the chef himself understands, and tries to make the dishes in the book again and again, until Guo Dalu tastes it and recognizes it, and it takes more than half a year to slowly have such a table of dishes today.

The reason why the shopkeepers think it is particularly delicious is also simple, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, various sauces, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are not lacking, even chili peppers are several kinds, and there are various auxiliary materials, can the dishes made in this way not delicious!

As for the size of the main material, Guo Dalu felt that it was normal to be slapped in the face, who would dare to compare with the original ecological wild ingredients hundreds of years ago...... Just pick an abalone on the beach and take it to modern times, and you can take it directly to the auction.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the shopkeepers' chatterbox slowly opened, all kinds of anecdotes from all over the world, I heard Guo Dalu nodding beside him, what did he lack? There is a lack of awareness of this era, and there is no place to learn, and what these big shopkeepers are best at is precisely this, going south and north to see a lot of knowledge, and because of their own identity, they can get a lot of insider information that ordinary people do not know from their respective owners or family owners, and the people sitting here today have the same identity, and it is natural to drink a little wine and say something that people in the industry can understand, which is cheap Guo Dalu next to him, and he is completely in a state of listening to his ears.

This learning process is simply to hear and see, and then through one's own analysis and judgment, to derive the mainstream ideas of the era, to identify the advantages and shortcomings of each field, and most importantly, to be able to understand the voice of the general public.

Guo Dalu is not one of those wealthy families in this era, he feels good about himself, he always feels that he is superior, and he is completely contemptuous of ordinary people. Guo Dalu understands very well that no matter what era and what kind of talent is the mainstream of society, so he has always paid more attention to the needs of ordinary people in all aspects, otherwise he would not collect a layer of rent from his tenants and give out some benefits from time to time.

But for a long time, Guo Dalu has known the most about the situation in Guocun and Fucheng, and he doesn't even know much about the county seat, let alone other places, plus there are a lot of things to do, so if he has free time to go to places like teahouses and wine shops to listen to legends, naturally an opportunity like this is very rare for him.

I kept listening until I was resting in the evening.

Lying on the bed, Guo Dalu is repeatedly recalling the information he heard today, and some things are compared according to historical data, and they suddenly become clear and clear before and after, which can really be said to have benefited a lot.

From the next day, there were more visitors one after another, and all the tenants of the Guo family were moved, and every household came to help, and each of them received things to do under the arrangement of several stewards.

The first thing is to build a shed, otherwise what to do if it rains, and people can't stand it if it doesn't rain out of the sun. Hundreds of pieces of colored striped cloth are the main materials, and the location is at the newly built intersection of Guocun, and it is slipped down along the cement road.

Hundreds of ordinary round tables, thousands of plastic stools, that's not a big deal.

And then it's a lot of lights, and it's simple.

Lanterns, right, is a thousand in the festive wholesale market enough? The various colors of the colorful ribbon ornament Chinese knot or something, one by one. It was purchased according to the budget of 50,000 yuan, and I didn't believe that I couldn't wrap up the small Guo Village.

Finally, there is the fireworks salute, according to the standard of putting a box at 20 meters, and go around Guo Village.

That's pretty much it.

Everything else is a matter of the kitchen, the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest young master, of course, is something worth celebrating, then it must be eaten according to the standard of being very happy.

Why? It's affordable, shouldn't you eat it when you're happy? If you're so happy, don't you have to eat a big meal? If you are very happy, you need to eat a big meal.

The eldest young master, this is also a coming-of-age ceremony, if you win the champion, then you have to eat at sea.

Of course, the arrangement of these things is the housekeeper's business, and it has nothing to do with Guo Dalu, what he should have done has already been done, and he is now a mascot.
