CHAPTER XIII

Zhao Yan stayed in the house all day long, the year was over, the weather was cold, the streets were deserted, and he had a shop and work, and went home for reunion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Yan guards a money bank, so naturally there is no need to save money, so he wants to buy a sheep and prepare to kill and eat mutton!

Looking at this poor, ignorant sheep, licking himself kissing, Zhao Yan didn't take a knife.

Scolding: Isn't it just feeding you! It's freezing on this day, and there is no grass, and I can't watch you starve to death, so I fed you! You're so familiar that you've kissed me, which makes me embarrassed to kill you?

Looking at Zhao Yan's hesitant appearance, Lu Ya squinted her eyes, as if she was smiling.

"Brother Zhao! Or I'll do it! I'm a good hand at killing sheep! Lu girl said.

When Zhao Yan heard this, he waved his hand and said, "You have thin arms and small hands!" Don't get bloody! It's bloody! Don't do it, girls! Don't kill this sheep! It's with me pro! You see! It also licks 1 me! ”

Lu girl tilted her head.

Brother Zhao is reluctant to kill this sheep? Brother Zhao is still good! It is the heart of a living bodhisattva!

The dew girl also passed, caressing the wool, very smooth and warm. "When you killed ducks before, I didn't see you soft-hearted!"

Zhao Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "How can a duck be a sheep?" Look at this sheep, kiss me! Let's give him a name! ”

"Name?" Lu Yatou said with a smile.

"Hmmm! Let's call it Dabai in the future! Zhao Yan remembered the rhubarb and said with a smile.

"Big white? What a strange name! Lu Yatou laughed.

Zhao Yan sighed secretly: I once had a dog named Ah Huang, but it died a long time ago, more than ten years old! Although I forgot the appearance, there is still a name left in my memory!

"Girl! I'll go to the butcher to buy meat, let's eat hot pot in the evening! Zhao Yan said.

It's a pity that I can't make hot pot this year!

"It's been a year! Don't eat flat food? I'm going to prepare the spring plate! Brother Zhao, let's get some wine by the way! Lu said.

[Spring plate: During the Spring Festival in the Tang Dynasty, you should eat five spicy plates, and ** plates, which are made up of five kinds of spicy vegetables, and it is said that eating this kind of thing can remove the stale gas in the human body. 】

Zhao Yan responded.

After turning a street or two, I came to Sun Butcher's butcher's butcher's shop.

Sun Butcher is an old butcher, his son inherited his father's business, and he has been working for many years, and he has been a butcher here since Zhao Yan remembers.

The New Year is over, and there are some people crowded in front of the butcher shop, and it seems that business is good.

When Sun Butcher saw Zhao Yan, he shouted, "The scholar is here, what kind of meat do you want?" ”

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Come on two hind legs, cut another ten catties of fine meat, and cut them into pieces; ”

After saying something, Zhao Yan remembered that in the Water Margin, Lu Zhishen punched the town of Guanxi, and his hands were a little itchy for a while, and he said secretly: I haven't moved my pen for a long time.

Sun Butcher threw up his arms, the blade flew up, cut off the lean meat, without a trace of fat, and his hands worked quickly, and it was suddenly turned into meat sauce.

Zhao Yan lifted the meat and the hind legs of the sheep and left, listening to the sigh of the butcher from afar.

"A good scholar, he is also stained with copper stench, and he has taken care of my cheap business! It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Zhao Yan came back with the meat and smiled at Lu Yatou: "I'll make a hinge for you to eat!" ”

Lu Yatou has already made a spring plate, which is a few boiled vegetables and sprinkled with salt.

"Dumplings? Horn it! That's good! ”

Zhao Yan cut the spring plate of the dew girl and fried it with mutton, and made the stuffing after cooking, the dew girl also made the dumpling skin, two people, four hands, happily wrapped the dumplings, this year for ordinary people, eating dumplings, it is already very good, for the previous Zhao Yan is like this, this time eating dumplings, is a very nostalgic thing.

The same is true for Lu Yatou, although she follows the frost-free work, has the industry of the Ning family, and has plenty of food and clothing, but it is not a big fish and meat, but every day is either rice or cakes, richer is to cook some vegetables, sprinkle salt, ordinary people are not able to eat edible oil, sesame oil or sesame oil in this era is something eaten by nobles, the common people do not have this awareness and financial resources, and they usually think it is good enough to eat animal fat.

As for soybean oil, there is no such concept in these years, and there is no awareness of oil extraction, and the same is true for peanut oil, only sesame oil and flax oil, which refers to sesame seeds and castor beans.

For a while, Zhao Yan seemed to have discovered a new way to make money.

The two of them cooked dumplings and ate a mouthful of oil, the rice of these years, lack of oil and water, such a meal, ate a taste that is more fragrant than that of later generations, Lu girl, a small person, but a small mouth bites slowly, and eats a lot, but he is afraid of being in front of Brother Zhao, and he does not dare to expose the true colors of foodies.

"Girl! Don't move! You've got something on your mouth! I'll help you go! ”

Zhao Yan was moved for a while, approached Lu Yatou, and kissed her.

This time, it made Lu girl blush! But he smiled and didn't speak, but his head was leaning on Zhao Yan's body!

The two of them ate a round belly, Lu Yatou served noodle soup, the two of them ate, consumed food, and the sun was warm for a while, so they leaned on the kang and dozed off a little.

Steal half a day's leisure!

But how long can you be idle?

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Compared with the lazy and happy Zhao Yanxiao of Fulong Qianzhuang, Jade Fang is different.

This is a popular gathering place, and it doesn't stop until the end of the year, upstairs and downstairs are full of men and women hooking up, hugging and hugging.

Although it was lively, it seemed suffocating, disgusting, and boring, Miss Yuhong thought.

Yuhong has always wanted to paint lately, and she likes to draw scholars, and she is a very good-looking scholar.

Xiao Cui sighed secretly and didn't speak, leaving De Yuhong to do these senseless things.

Some people are born happy, like Alu;

And most people are not so happy, like the men and women in this building, are they looking for fun, or are they acting for themselves?

Yuhong drew for a long time, put down the pen, and said, "Xiaocui! Let's eat dumplings too! ”

Xiao Cui sighed and said, "I shouldn't have told you about scholars!" All you have left is a scholar now! ”

Yuhong said: "It's not a scholar!" It's the heart! It's a straw! ”

Xiao Cui understands that people who are drowning will long for salvation, even if it is only a straw.

"Let's eat dumplings! Listen to the dew girl, it's very fragrant! Drain a mouthful of oil! ”

Yuhong responded: "Okay! Eat dumplings! ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Grain merchant, big landlord in Pingxian County, Haoqiang, Zhang Qing's mansion

Zhang Qing was looking at the account book, a very thin account book.

Zhang Qing as a big landlord in Pingxian County, one side is strong, there are several grain shops, not to mention that the business is very hot, but it is also very profitable, food as an important means of life for citizens, indispensable, mastering grain is mastering wealth, but the originally calm Pingxian grain market, originally he occupied the absolute right to speak, monopolizing the price of grain in Pingxian.

However, the Ning family's several new grain stores made Zhang Qing already faintly feel that he was about to be challenged, challenging his authority, and challenging his intention to monopolize grain prices.

Zhao Yan is not a simple grain merchant, at the same time, Zhao Yan also controls the Ning family's money bank, this money bank is powerful, and some time ago he took over Zhangjia Buzhuang, the stricter in front of him, or the Ning family, is no longer something that Zhang Qing can control, and he can't control it, maybe in the near future, his hegemony as a grain merchant will be challenged!

This is what Zhang Qing is most worried about, who wants to see such a thing happen and is willing to lose his current status?

Zhang Qing's inexplicable sense of crisis made him feel frightened, he wanted to attack, and he must not sit and wait for death!

Zhang Qing made a decision for a while!

If he wants to open a money bank, he wants to work against the Ning family, and no one should press anyone.

If you count the Haoqiang in Pingxian County, there may be so few.

Huang Youfang, a local native, has been a county leader for nearly ten years! Mighty! It belongs to the head of the strong and powerful.

The big landlord Wang Dafa is the largest landlord in the local area, living in Ping County, the Wang family has been passed down for so many years, accumulating a lot of wealth and land, but now Wang Changfa's father and son are dead, and the property is in the hands of Cuihong Building.

The third is Zhang Qing, a big grain merchant, who is the largest grain merchant in the local area, has a lot of connections in his family, and can harvest a huge amount of grain every year, and he is also a big place in Ping County.

The fourth is the big cloth merchant Zhang Fugui, who was originally the first-class cloth merchant in Ping County, the cloth village is all over Ping County, and the semicolon is also opened in the field, the business is distributed in the four counties, there are four shops and a huge industry, but unfortunately it has now become the industry of the Ning family.

The fifth is the big money village Ning Caishen Ning family, the Ning family is a big place in Ping County, but also operates money and other businesses, the business has secretly expanded to the canal extension, only ranked fifth on the surface, Ning Caishen ten years ago, after meeting the real immortal in the mountain, he devoted himself to cultivation, never went down the mountain again, and the family business was presided over by his daughter Ning Wushuang.

There are only three of the above five heroes left, Zhang Fugui and Wang Changfa have been killed unconsciously, and they have disappeared without a trace!

The water in Pingxian has always been very mixed! Now it's even more mixed!

Zhang Qing was a little panicked, he didn't know when he was, maybe he would be killed the next moment like others!

The five major families in Pingxian County are well known, as for the five major families, there are small Haoqiang, there are grain shops, salt sellers, iron shops, inns, cattle and horses, carts and horses, bookstores, paper shops, four treasures of the study, meat shops, wine shops, and so on.

Hundreds of small families, large and small. These little heroes are usually independent, but they are also interdependent, they marry each other, support each other, and are intertwined with each other, in essence, these hundreds of small heroes are attached to the five major families.

For the Haoqiang of Pingxian County, the five major families have their own spheres of influence.

Zhao Yan's claws reached the top of the grain, which caused Zhang Qing's nervousness.

Zhang Qing's claws also stretched out, he opened the back hall and took out the coins inside.

Said: Just use these to open a bank!

Zhang Qing found the housekeeper Zhang Chun, Zhang Chun was born in the family, and he has been following Zhang Qing since he was a child.

Zhang Qing trusted him very much, so he directly assigned him the task of opening a bank.

Zhang Chun has been mobilizing relations for several days, and he has gone from house to house to find a good shop, but just like Zhao Yan at the beginning, the good positions have been occupied by others.

Think about it, on both sides of the canal, the development of commerce, has given birth to many business families, and these small families have become a powerful party after nearly a hundred years of accumulation.

Although they are not as good as the five major families, they are all human spirits. The good places have long been carved up.
