Chapter 308: To help others is to help to the end

When the merchants who were doing business in Jiannan Province were at ease, the capital Zhongshan Ben encountered the biggest problem in his life, yes,.

When he tried his best to suppress the price of radish seeds and small radishes, he accidentally got a news, that is, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were still in Baoxin County, asked people to go to Sinong Temple to buy all the radish seeds and radishes, and they were not allowed to leave one by one.

The price given can scare people to death, a seed is 30 Wen, and a radish is 150 Wen, regardless of its size.

Where is this still to buy radish, how many seeds are in Sinong Temple, and how many radishes, can the Zhang and Wang families really come up with such a large amount of money?

Yamamoto didn't believe it, he felt that if he sold everything at the price that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, he wouldn't even think about it without 500,000 yuan.

Do the Zhang and Wang families have so much money that they can take out immediately? Unless they are willing to sell the water and clouds.

So Yamamoto waited, and when the Zhang and Wang families couldn't come up with the money, he could continue to talk to Jiang Cen, the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, in the hope that he could buy more radishes and seeds at a lower price.

But today, when he spent money to come over again, he heard someone else's whispered conversation, and as soon as he heard it, he felt that it was very difficult.

"Have you heard? Shaoqing is going to sell the seeds and radishes to the Zhang and Wang families, and those that can't be sold will be destroyed, so as not to make someone lose their breath and steal them out and sell them to other people, or the kind with a very low price. ”

As soon as Yamamoto entered the territory of Sinong Temple, he heard the words of two people under the tree next to him.

Shocked, Yamamoto didn't care if anyone would find out and eavesdrop, so he quietly went around to the other side of the tree, and stood at the bottom of the tree, not moving, afraid that others would see it.

"I've heard about it, and I don't know if they're crazy enough to spend a lot of money on useless turnips, and even if they can use them to make fish, they won't use that much."

This is another person's voice, the nasal voice is relatively heavy, and it can be distinguished at once, Yamamoto listened, and wanted to tell the two of them that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not crazy, the two of them were shrewd, this radish can be grown into ginseng, how much will it cost to have ginseng at that time?

If they really collect all the radishes and seeds, then their family will not have to do anything else, just sell ginseng.

The two people who spoke couldn't hear Yamamoto's heart, so they continued to say there, and the first person to speak said to the other: "Actually, they can't take out so much cash now, but they agreed with Shaoqing, send the radish over first, and they will mortgage it with Shuiyunjian, if they can't pay it back, Shuiyunjian will give it to Sinong Temple, and it will be counted by this time next year." ”

"Really? Actually pressed the water and clouds? No wonder Shaoqing didn't let people who didn't have official positions go over to see the radish today, it turned out to be the idea of Shuiyunjian, you said that if Shuiyunjian gave it to Sinong Temple, would we be able to eat good meals every day in the future? ”

The other person said yearningly, and the more Yamamoto listened to the back of the tree, the cooler his heart became, because he knew that it was impossible for the Zhang and Wang families to repay the money, if this was the case, would he have no hope at all?

Isn't that stolen skill useless? No, we have to find a way.

Thinking about this, Yamamoto quietly moved to the side to find Jiang Cen, and the two of them, as if they didn't know that he was coming, were still talking about the secrets of Sinong Temple under the tree.

When Yamamoto made a lot of effort to find Jiang Cen, Jiang Cen was having lunch, or dinner, and now this time makes it impossible to judge specifically, but it is not a normal time to eat.

"Coming?" Jiang Cen stopped his chopsticks, looked at Yamamoto, and said hello casually as if he was very familiar with someone.

Yamamoto had a feeling that he was going to vomit blood, and if he was really familiar with it, he would spend a lot of money to come in? Seeing that they were greeting, he replied with a smile: "It's here." ”

After speaking, he quickly entered the identity, found a place to sit down, watched Jiang Cen eat there, and waited for the other party to eat before talking, it was still early before dark.

Jiang Cen just got a letter from Zhang Xiaobao this morning, and the thing written in the letter is to let him act in a play, just like the drama in the pear orchard, but the requirements are very high, and he can't act until he gets out of the script and enters real life, if he can't do it, he can play it by another person.

Jiang Cen didn't think that he was worse than others, and he could be an official, which one of them must not be a little talented, so he decided to perform by himself, didn't eat breakfast, and rehearsed over and over again.

It's true that eating at this time is not lunch, but it has nothing to do with dinner, otherwise he will be hungry in the middle of the night, and Yamamoto will spend money while waiting while he is rehearsing, and finally it is time to wait, thank him for being smart enough, otherwise it is possible to change to a stupid person to rehearse, and it will take a few days.

After thinking twice in his heart, don't think about acting now, that's really the case, Jiang Cen was much calmer, looked at Yamamoto, and said, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?" Okay, I didn't eat either, but now I'm eating, let's eat some together? ”

Yamamoto's smile hung on his face, he turned his head to look at the window, and found that there was another hour, and it was dark, so he pinched his thigh vigorously to confirm that he was not pondering, and then said: "No, I just woke up, and I came over after a hurry to freshen up, how can I have time to eat breakfast, okay, let's eat together." ”

When he said this, Yamamoto felt that he had sublimated, and he was able to tell the truth to others, he really didn't eat breakfast, he didn't eat lunch, it wasn't that he didn't have time to eat, he really couldn't eat, he had something to worry about, he felt uncomfortable when he saw something, and he didn't even drink two sips of water.

Jiang Cen signaled, and immediately someone brought another set of tableware, and Yamamoto also sat opposite Jiang Cen and picked up chopsticks to look at the dishes on the table.

"Good thing, it turned out to be, what is this?" Yamamoto wanted to praise a few words, but found that there were many things he didn't know, so he had to ask out loud.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this salted radish, you don't look like it, that's because you didn't cut out the appearance of the radish when you cut it, but cut it like an eggplant, in fact, it's a radish, you look carefully, because there is an extra layer of sesame oil on it, so the texture is covered.

This is a sour radish, the same as the salted radish, it is also cut according to the appearance of an eggplant, the person who cut it is not bad, and when he looks back and praises him, this is a boiled radish, don't look at a trace of it, in fact, this is because before cooking, use a knife to cut it into a shape, and the advantage is that it is cooked quickly.

You will know it with only one plate, it has not changed, it is steamed radish, and there is sauce for dipping, this one is fried radish with radish skin, this one is radish stewed radish skin, and this one is ......"

Jiang Cen took the trouble to introduce to Yamamoto, some of the radishes are difficult to see because of the ability of the cook, and the other part is easy to identify.

Yamamoto finally knew what a table was, it turned out to be an all-radish feast, Yamamoto's most troublesome thing now is the radish, seeing a table full of radishes of various methods, as well as radish skin fried radish and other dishes that he had never heard of, his expression was in a trance, and he asked:

"Why are they all turnips, does Shaoqing like to eat them? There is also a kind of carrot called now, which is actually good, and it tastes good if you fry it in oil. ”

Yamamoto had never eaten fried carrots, so he was so sloppy.

Jiang Cen didn't care either, took a sip of radish soup, and said to Yamamoto: "Radish is good, haven't you heard of it, radish is a little ginseng, make up, make up." ”

When he heard the word ginseng, Yamamoto was trembling, and he was now afraid of the words radish and ginseng, because they were related, and he couldn't let others know about it.

Seeing that Jiang Cen didn't seem to know the relationship, Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief, and also picked up a piece of steamed radish, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, a little bitter, and a little spicy, more sweet, the radish was steamed very noodles, I don't know how it was steamed, or the kind with the skin, a piece that should have been round was cut from the middle, and then I ate the skin, and found that the skin was crispy, and I didn't know how to steam it.

It seemed that he also had the same idea of why the radish skin was still crispy, Jiang Cen took another bite and said, "How is it?" Isn't it good? The skin turned out to be crispy, this is the ability of Zhuangyuanlou, it was too early, and it was too late to cook, so I asked Zhuangyuanlou to send a table.

Don't underestimate a table of radish, the price is not low, count, and so on will let people send money, at least 20 yuan, poor, even a radish can't afford to eat, others don't know, I always feel that I'm a young lady, in fact, I feel aggrieved in my heart,.

Who doesn't know that the food in the champion building is delicious, but I can't afford to eat it, so I can only occasionally pick a cheap one to taste, and if it's a little more expensive, I don't dare to buy it, what do you mean by living? ”

After Jiang Cen finished speaking, he didn't eat it, just shook his head and sighed there, looking very miserable.

Jiang Cen didn't agree with the idea at all, and said in his heart, I still want to eat the things of Zhuangyuanlou every day, but are the good things there eaten by ordinary people? But what Jiang Cen said made Yamamoto's heart move.

drank two sips of fragrant radish soup and said, "Could it be that Lord Shaoqing wants to eat the things of Zhuangyuanlou in one meal?" Actually, it's not that hard. ”

"Isn't it difficult? How is it not difficult? Do you think that Zhuangyuanlou will look at my identity as Shaoqing and don't want my money? Jiang Cen raised his head and asked suspiciously.

"Shaoqing, don't you know that there is that kind of bitter radish in Sinong Temple? As long as Shaoqing is willing to sell it to me at a cheap price, I will leave the money saved for Shaoqing to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat. Yamamoto plucked up his courage and said, he felt that this time was his last chance, and if he left like last time, he probably wouldn't expect to buy radishes again in the future.

Jiang Cen sank his face: "Do you want to bribe this official?" This official is dedicated to the country, how can he collect your money, Sinong Temple is open to do business, oh, no, it is open to make the people's lives better, how can this official be the kind of person who forgets his righteousness? There are other officials who look at their own officials' examples. ”

Yamamoto was startled at first, but after listening to all Jiang Cen's words, he finally understood, and then said: "What the lord said is good, I was abrupt, it's not a bribe, it's to let Sinong Temple have more money to do things for the people, my lord, how about five cents for a seed?" At that time, there will be five more Wen left. ”

Yamamoto could understand why Jiang Cen said this, because there were other people next to him, and it would not be good for people to use this matter to impeach, the price he gave was not high, and it was not as good as what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan gave, but he had other thoughts in his heart, the money of the Zhang and Wang families was given to Sinong Temple, and his own money was given to you personally.

Thirty dollars a seed looks like a lot, but how much can you earn? What I give is five questions, if you sell one grain, you can leave five wen for yourself, this is the difference, not to mention the radish.

At this time, the two people standing next to him turned their heads and didn't make a sound, just looked at Jiang Cen and Yamamoto, as if they wanted to hear more things from the mouths of the two people.

Jiang Cen's eyes shook from side to side, and he coughed and said, "What you said is that the seeds of this radish are delicious when steamed, and you are willing to buy it even if it is five cents?" ”

"Yes." Yamamoto was very cooperative.

"Nacheng, sell you a thousand grains first, sell a thousand grains and settle it once, Yang Yang, this matter will be handed over to you." Jiang Cen agreed.

The person he was talking about was the one standing to his left, and his ears could still move a few times when he listened to it.

Yang Yang was obviously reluctant to sell, and said to Jiang Cen: "My lord, the seeds and radishes of the radishes, the Zhang and Wang families have bought them, and the price is not low, if they are sold to others cheaply, in case the two of them know, it will not be easy to do, and the people of Sinong Temple, they are all waiting for the money of the Zhang and Wang families to be given at this time next year, so that they can be used to do big things." ”

The meaning of Yang Yang's words has been expressed very clearly, that is, you have a benefit, what should others do? This other person is me, you can't let me do things for nothing, right?

"This ...... Brother Yamamoto, you see, how should this be done? Jiang Cen couldn't continue to ask, and asked Yamamoto.

Yamamoto can't wait to strangle this person named Yang Yang to death, you also want to join in the fun, and secretly regret it, I knew that I would pick a person and tell Jiang Cen when there was no one else.

Looking at Jiang Cen, and then at the two people standing next to him, Yamamoto gritted his teeth and said: "I estimate that Wuwen buys a seed, and if it is used for steaming, there can be a surplus of ten Wen, but a thousand grains is too little, it is better to have a million grains, give money first, and then take the seeds, I will take this bite." ”

Yamamoto raised the price to fifteen yuan, and the money needed to buy one million is fifteen thousand, which is a lot, and he is also going to make only one transaction, first go back and turn one million seeds into ginseng as soon as possible, and only radishes will not be collected.

How do you know that his price is said, but Yang Yang disagreed, and said: "There were few people in Sinong Temple before, after all, there was not much to do, but now there are a lot, it is estimated that there are 500 people registered, it is not easy on weekdays, and it is difficult to do things when it is windy and rainy." ”

Another official who was also from Sinong Temple next to him also echoed at this time: "Yes, there are too many people now, sometimes I even complain a lot about cooking, and I look at a large cart of vegetables I buy, but it turns out that it is not enough to cook a meal, and the money is all caused by money." ”

Yamamoto's face showed a look of embarrassment at this time, he wanted to agree but felt that the pressure on him to add more money was too great, he didn't want to take it, and he was afraid that the two of them would leak the matter, and then he wouldn't want to buy anything at this price.

Just when he was hesitating whether to add a little more, Jiang Cen put down his chopsticks and said to him: "Brother Yamamoto, it's better to do this, you can save twenty wen, but this year's radish is not growing well, and five thousand died, how about steaming it for Brother Yamamoto?" ”

This is the match, 5,000 radishes are given away for free, but the price is even higher, and you should earn it.

Yamamoto calculated, if it is 25 yuan to buy a radish seed, the extra cost is 10,000 yuan, according to the money given by Zhang Wang's family, 150 yuan a radish, if you want to make a profit, at least 100,000 radishes are cost-effective, that is 15,000 yuan.

But this money can't be calculated, so after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will steam and eat 20,000 dead turnips." ”

"Okay, twenty thousand." Jiang Cen also agreed, and then looked at Yamamoto without speaking.

Yamamoto understood that the other party was waiting to see the money, so he immediately said hello and left.

Yamamoto still made a lot of arrangements in this capital, 25,000 yuan, said to take it out, in one time there was not even silk, all copper coins, a car of cars in the next day sent to Sinong Temple.

It was not Jiang Cen who received him this time, nor did he see two people yesterday, but another petty official of Sinong Temple, who greeted Yamamoto with a smile on his face as soon as he saw him, and ordered the number of money, in fact, there was no need to check one by one, just weigh the weight.

After weighing, it is slightly heavier than usual, and often, the rope of stringing copper coins is also weighty, light is light, but it can't stand more.

"Yamamoto Kimi, please come with me." The official who received Yamamoto happily took Yamamoto backwards, turned two places, and came to a large courtyard, which can occupy a courtyard in the capital, which shows how the ability of Sinong Temple is.

As soon as the two of them arrived, the receptionist shouted to the house next to them: "Come on, have you done everything you can do to bring up the radish seeds and radishes that Yamamoto asked for?" ”

The other side immediately replied, "Don't worry, I've already helped Yamamoto Gongzi finish it, and a piece of my hair has been burned off, and I'm guilty." ”

Hearing the words coming from the house, Yamamoto, who was supposed to be happy, always felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at the next row of smoking houses, his heart became more and more uneasy.

It didn't take too long, the first few pots of radishes were carried out, it was the first few pots, no difference, there was also the fragrance of radish, the steamed kind, the taste of radish seeds also came, a little pungent.

A pot of pots was carried to the courtyard like this, some of them were still steaming, and the person who sent the radish said politely to the reception Yamamoto: "It is estimated that this yard can't fit, and some of it has to be transported away first, and there are people elsewhere to help steam, Yamamoto Gongzi rest assured, it is estimated that it is almost steamed, and it will not delay too long." ”

The sky fell, the ground sank, the day turned into night, and Yamamoto's eyes were full of little stars, the kind that flashed and flashed, his mouth was open, and his smiling face was gone.

"Yamamoto Childe, Yamamoto Childe, do you think we did so well that you don't want to go? It's okay, but as I said above, Yamamoto likes to eat radish, a big supplement, similar to ginseng, but it's not time to eat it now, it doesn't matter, when we steam, we leave a gap in the middle of each radish, and then dry it in the sun, which can ensure that it will not be bad for a long time.

It's like making red ginseng, it works, Childe can't eat it all at once, you can keep it and eat it slowly, so many radishes, Childe has to eat it for a few days even if he finds a hundred people. ”

The person in charge of receiving Yamamoto also praised himself, and the person who carried the radish also showed the expression that we were doing things well.

Yamamoto stood in front of the cooked turnip, not moving, not even blinking his eyes, if it weren't for the violent rise and fall of his chest, and the blood flowing from his nose, it would be really easy to make people think that he was a wooden man.

"Why is it steamed? I want raw radish, not cooked, and I will steam it myself slowly when I go back. Yamamoto began to mumble incoherently.

"Childe, can't it be steamed slowly raw, then after a period of time, the radish can't be eaten, biting it in the mouth is like chewing white stacks, Childe will find a car by himself, or will we send a car to transport it to the place?"

The person in charge of receiving Yamamoto asked kindly.

"What about Jiang Cen Shaoqing? I want to see him. "Yamamoto doesn't plan to take so many ripe radishes and radish seeds, he still needs to grow ginseng, how to grow ripe?

"Back to Gongzi's words, the Lord went to see the people of Zhang Wang's family, and the people sent by the two families said that they wanted to take away all the radishes and radish seeds, and they should arrange someone to check the number, and thanks to Gongzi's timely words, otherwise they would really not be able to take out so many radishes and radish seeds.

I'm also at a loss in my heart, I'm afraid that the people of the Zhang and Wang families will know, whether the son will hurry up and let the two things be transported away, otherwise, if it is really seen by others, it will be unclear, but the people of the Zhang and Wang families can walk around at will in Sinong Temple. ”

The person in charge seemed a little anxious and urged.

Yamamoto wanted to turn himself into a turnip, and then climbed into the pot by himself, steamed himself, wiped the nosebleed with his hand, and said to the person in charge: "This is not what I want, I can't transport it, what I want is raw, what's the use of cooked?" ”

"Doesn't Childe want to eat steamed radish? Is it for another purpose? Oh, why didn't that boy say it earlier? It's too late now, part of the money is estimated to be in the good account, but it can't be returned to the son, and the raw radishes and radish seeds are all let the people of the Zhang and Wang families show it, how is this good, how is this good. ”

The person in charge started and said anxiously, and people also circled around Yamamoto.

At this moment, Jiang Cen finally showed up, looking very nervous, came in from outside the courtyard, and said as soon as he saw Yamamoto, "Brother Yamamoto, hurry up and transport the things away, the people of the Zhang and Wang families said that they wanted to take a look at Sinong Temple to see where the money of the two of them was spent." ”

"I don't want so many cooked turnips, I want to be raw, my money ......" Yamamoto saw the Lord coming, and made his own request.

"I'll talk about this later, take all the turnips in the yard first, and then talk about it later." Jiang Cen calmed down and gestured to make the others move faster.
