Chapter 40 The Servants Come and Do Business

The sea breeze blows, the ditch is dug for the flowing water, and the 100,000 mountains are more bred.

Zhang Zhong also had to stay in Luzhou for two years, worried that next year or a few days later, there would be another heavy rain, let people dig the river in advance, it turned out that there were some small rivers in the state, but it was too small, behind it was a hundred thousand mountains, usually provided a lot of trees and fruits and the meat and fur of wild beasts to the people.

This time, the big water also provided a lot of water to the state, if there was a big river connected there, it would not be washed so thoroughly, Zhang Zhong planned to build two big rivers to connect to the mountain, where there were springs in the mountains and rainwater that usually gathered.

When it rains again, the water will not be saturated and then rushed out, but will go directly down the two rivers to the sea, and then build a few tributaries connected to the two rivers on the side of the mountain, and then only need to protect the banks of the two rivers, even if they are not officials here in the future, the new officials can understand the role of the two rivers as long as they are not fools.

In addition to reducing losses during floods, the two rivers also have the effect of allowing people who have reached the mountains, or who have not come out of the mountains, to transport the contents of the mountains more quickly.

Zhang Zhong's order was conveyed, the people did not have any objections, and no one questioned it, and immediately put into this project, and the little children helped to light the fire, send water and food, in order to save time, the people who work do not need so many dishes, the more convenient the better.

Zhang Zhong thought that every meal had meat and vegetables, as well as rice or something, but the people were disobedient for the first time, saying nothing and not doing anything, and not having so much time to stop and eat, and finally Zhang Xiaobao gave an idea, spread pancakes, fried shredded meat, fried shredded vegetables, smeared with sauce, put some pickles, and sandwiched a green onion.

If you are willing to eat seafood, you can put some small crabs and nudibranchs or something, such things are like to be eaten by the people who come from Kaifeng, so that you don't have to delay too much time, drink saliva when you are thirsty, and eat one when you are hungry.

Later, I found out that it didn't work, the burritos could be eaten when they were cold, and the oil in the buns would condense when they were cold.

There is no fixed time for such a meal as burritos, the little babies run back and forth in the various places where they make cakes and the part where they work, and the people who work eat when they are hungry, and they eat one at a time, and they can't eat enough, and the advantage is that they don't have to worry about being lazy and unable to work when they are full.

In this way, everyone found that they ate more, and at the same time worked more energetically, without delaying much time, a rolled cake, a few large bites can be eaten.

The people were very happy that the great officials were able to think about themselves and others in this regard.

Someone is happy, then someone must be unhappy, Liu Shaoqing and the four of them were in a good mood in the morning, especially the other three people who got how to make cake recipes, the family was divided into a team, and they went outside to make cakes, but only half an hour later, bad news came.

They have just arrived at the place where they sell cakes, and before they can start selling, they heard the sound of selling cakes next to them, and they came over to take a look, they were all stupid, there were already people selling them here, three for a penny, and there were catties to weigh them, not only the glutinous rice cakes that they had to do, but also millet.

At the same time, there are stuffing, bean paste, sugar, jujubes, which can be described as dazzling and varied, especially the people who sell things, the clothes they wear are very clean and tidy, and many people take out money to buy some to try.

All this money is the income from various transactions with the Zhang family in the past two months, and some of it is wages.

The person sent by Liu Shaoqing and others to sell the cake calculated the account a little, and found that if they sold it at this price, they needed to sell it for thirty yuan to make a penny, and they couldn't make much money in a day.

There is no way, these people can only come back and talk about the matter with Liu Shaoqing and others.

"I can't stand it, Zhang Zhong's family is too bullying, I finally found the method of making cakes from the book, so they secretly learned it, and sent people to sell it, obviously they didn't want us to pay back the money."

Liu Shaoqing didn't need to ask at all, he knew that it was the Zhang family's ghost, and his family had such a ability, and it took a lot of effort to find a recipe by himself, in addition to the Zhang family, who else has such a ability to make more tricks?

Cao Herui sighed beside him and said: "Their reaction is too fast, and they can make more after a day, which shows that they originally knew, but they didn't use it, think about it again, what other ways can make money?" I don't believe that their family can learn to do anything. ”

"What's the best way to do it? They don't plan to give us a way to live, let's go, let's go to Qinzhou in a while, tell Zhang Zhong over there that there is a good recipe for making tea, and watch the two of them fight at one time. ”

Jiang Wanshi whispered to the three people, they had to leave secretly, there were patrols outside, they were afraid that they would run away, but here there was a tunnel dug a few years ago, which could always lead to the outside, and after being washed away by the water, even if something was blocked inside, they could dig it up again.

There was no one to build the house of the four people, they found a place to build it themselves, it turned out that this authentic place was Zhang Yi's outer house, on the edge of the Zhou Mansion, the four people came back and did not repair the house for them, so they moved the place here, and they had already planned.

Jiang Wanshi mentioned that the other three people also made up their minds, and the big deal was that their families would help support them at that time, thinking that Zhang Zhong would not do anything to their families, they could only go with four people, and it would be easy to be found if they all left.

As soon as the four of them made a decision, the gatekeeper of the big courtyard hurriedly ran in and said to Liu Shaoqing: "Master, a person in charge of the Zhang family came and said that he wanted to see the master and talk about a deal with the master. ”

"Talking about buying and selling? What kind of deal to talk about? I don't have anything on my side, what to talk about with me? Liu Shaoqing heard the words of the subordinate, and the first thought was that Zhang Zhong came over to find trouble again, hesitated for a moment, and saw that the other three people were also puzzled, and said to the subordinate who was waiting there: "Let him come in." ”

With the sound of footsteps, the four people looked over, and saw that there were only two circles of lines on the chest of the person, and their faces became ugly, and the Zhang family actually sent a two-star steward over, and they knew that the five stars were the highest, and it was said that their identity, even if they didn't send a five-star one, they would send a four-star one.

This is only two stars, and it is clearly looking down on people.

"Lord Liu, I came here to talk to Lord Liu about a deal, I don't know if there are idlers in Lord Liu's house?" The person who came didn't make any flattering expressions to Liu Shaoqing, and there was no arrogant look, as if two ordinary people were talking when they met on the street.

Liu Shaoqing snorted coldly: "You are a two-star, can you call the shots?" Find your lord and talk to the official. ”

The person who came smiled and said, "Lord Liu misunderstood, it is my own business, and it has nothing to do with my master." ”

"You? Doing business with me? Hahahaha~! Okay, great, did you hear that, a descendant of the Zhang family came to do business with me, why do you tell me? Yes? Why? Let's talk, everyone listen, how can a subordinate do business with a judge? ”

When Liu Shaoqing heard the words of the visitor, he couldn't hold back anymore, laughed, pointed at the person who came, and let the other three people see, and the other three people also laughed.

Cao Herui looked at the unmoved people standing there, and said: "You better hurry up and go back to do things, otherwise let your master know, the legs will be discounted for you, trading is not something you can do, and we people are not something you can deceive, be obedient, go back quickly." ”

Waiting for him to finish, the four of them also laughed, and then the person who came said, "I have 200 yuan of money myself, and I can also borrow 200 yuan from my family, so it is a total of 400 yuan, I don't know how much money the four adults have?" Four hundred, as long as I start this business, I will earn more in the future, and then Lord Liu will also make more money, since Lord Liu thinks that I can't do business with adults, then I will leave. ”

The person who came said it turned and left.

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and Liu Shaoqing hurriedly shouted: "Slow, where did you get the money?" What to do and what to do, speak out and listen. ”

"The descendants of the Zhang family are different from the descendants of your family, in addition to the monthly case, there is an extra reward, you don't have to spend money on eating at ordinary times, you can save more, I want to do a simple business with Lord Liu, that is, Lord Liu's family makes shrimp paste, you catch the shrimp yourself, and you also get the salt yourself."

If the adult's family has enough manpower, that day can catch a lot of shrimp, put it into the jar, a month later I came to pick it up, pay all the money, this time I am ready to buy 20 catties of jars 200 jars, a jar has always been 500 Wen, pay a deposit of 20 times.

If it is done well this time, then there will be more more quantities next month, I have made money, and you have also made money, Lord Liu can think about it, whether to do it or not, if you want to do it, you must come out 200 jars a month, and it can't be that the shrimp paste that was there when it was delivered has not been done. ”

The man stopped, told Liu Shaoqing what was going on, looked at Liu Shaoqing, and waited for him to reply.

Liu Shaoqing thought about it, looked at the other three people, and asked, "Can you tell you what you are buying so much shrimp paste for?" ”

"What I do has nothing to do with the adult, the adult can do it if he agrees, catch some shrimp, and there is no capital, the twenty deposits are enough to buy a jar, even if I don't come to collect it after a month, the adult will not pay."

The man very simply rejected the question of what he was buying for.

Liu Shaoqing thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Do it, what about the money?" Let's make a note. ”

He had already thought clearly, even if this person didn't come to collect it in the end, two hundred jars of shrimp paste could be sold slowly, and he really didn't lose money.

Seeing that Liu Shaoqing agreed, this person turned around and went to the door, and carried a box in with another person, the box was opened, and there were twenty yuan inside, a weight of more than one hundred and twenty catties, and one person really didn't carry it.

Liu Shaoqing was also happy, and directly wrote the note, drawing a mortgage on both sides, which can be regarded as a negotiated deal.
