Chapter 475: The new dish is delicious
Chapter 475 The dishes are delicious
Fang Liu'er came to Xingqing Palace the next day, and went to Wannian County yesterday to arrange the Spring Clothing Fair, but did not come back
The ministers who were found by Li Longji, except for Zhang Zhong, no one else really had seen Fang Liu'er, even Zhang Jiuling had only seen her portrait, which was painted by his old housekeeper who was not doing his job
Today's Fang Liu'er can no longer find the thin and pitiful appearance when she fled, and has become a slim big girl, wearing a long skirt with a light yellow diagonal placket, the exposed half of her calves are covered by a pair of light blue leather boots, her hair is spread out and only a big butterfly clip is pinned to the top, and her slightly upturned eyelashes occasionally blink, giving people a quiet and dignified feeling, but she wears a string of bells on her wrist, which makes a jingling sound when she moves, and has a little more liveliness
Two different styles appeared on a person's body, giving people a very big visual impact, which made the ministers, including Li Longji, stunned
"Fang Liu'er, the archdeacon of the Zhang family in Sanshui Tuqiao Village, has seen Your Majesty, I have seen all the adults, good lord, spring is coming, the grass is green and the flowers are blooming, it is suitable to wear a spring Yunyun long skirt, Your Majesty and your lords, please see"
Fang Liu'er bowed generously to Li Longji and a few ministers, the title of the old man was naturally said to Zhang Zhong, and after speaking, he walked up in front of everyone, not to turn around, or to pose and show the skirt she was wearing to others
"It's really beautiful, go back and let people order a few sets, okay, Fang Liu'er, you don't have to continue to advertise, you are really dedicated, even if you see me, you don't forget to sell your spring clothes"
Li Longji watched it for a while, and suddenly reacted that he was not looking for Fang Liu'er to buy clothes, he had something important to discuss, and hurriedly stopped Fang Liu'er's costume performance
"Oh, okay, Your Majesty buys it, 20% off" Fang Liu'er stopped her movements, and stood in the local area and didn't forget to give Li Longji a discount
Yuan Qianyao took over at this time and asked Fang Liu'er, "Fang Liu'er, I don't know if you have noticed that the price of garlic has risen recently?" ”
Fang Liu'er nodded, "I found out, and as soon as the price increased, I asked people to collect a lot of garlic from other places, and told Uncle Song, so there is no shortage of garlic in the current Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha Restaurant, and it can be used until the garlic comes down, and the Haiyunjian Restaurant in Luzhou will not be affected for the time being."
The corners of Yuan Qianyao's mouth moved, and he didn't know what to say, Du Xian, who was standing next to him, stood up and asked, "Fang Liu'er, since you have found out, why don't you tell me to wait?" Just told your master's house? Do you know how great your sin is? ”
"Huh? Tell you, tell you what to do, I am a deacon of the Zhang family, and not a court deacon, I will tell you now, in the spring children have a lot of runny nose, we made a kind of clothes for this purpose, there is a pocket in front, which is filled with tissues, adults see the child's snot flowing out, you can find a tissue for the child to wipe anytime and anywhere, it will be all the rage, this adult, what are you going to do? ”
Fang Liu'er looked at Du Xian suspiciously, compared her hand to draw a few times, and recommended another product
"Uh" Du Xian was stunned when asked, and said that my children don't use this kind of clothes anymore, what's the use of telling me? So he asked, "Tell me about this, it's useless"
"Then let me tell you, now in Gyeonggi Province and the surrounding areas, the river thaws in the spring, and there will be more fish, but the price will be expensive, because many people are tired of eating other meat in winter, and eating fish is just a good taste, and it is estimated that within a month, the fish will sell well, if you want to make money, you should collect more as soon as possible, and send someone to catch it."
Fang Liu'er told Du Xian another thing
After hearing this, Du Xian replied: "This matter has nothing to do with me."
"Well, because the Yellow River has been civilized, there are many places because of transportation difficulties, most of the consumables have been used up almost, we must prepare some as soon as possible, and when the first transport fleet sets off, we can make a lot of money by sending it over."
Fang Liu'er continued to give Du Xian ideas
Other people, plus Li Longji's eyes lit up after hearing this, and their hearts were total, it was indeed like what Fang Liuer said, if you really follow her proposal, you will definitely be able to make money, and the fame is full, and the wisdom hidden behind the top ranking is really powerful, and there is hope for making money if you say an idea at will
Du Xian was really a little tempted to say it, and suddenly reacted, and now he said that the matter of garlic has nothing to do with others, and immediately asked: "Does that have anything to do with us?" Ask you about garlic."
Fang Liu'er glanced at Du Xian, "Now that I'm talking to you about this, do you think it's okay, when the price of garlic rose, I told you about garlic, what can you do?" You'll say that garlic doesn't have anything to do with you either, and you won't be able to eat much garlic anyway
You are called the Lord's deliberations, so the things discussed are important, the Lord did not mention, so it has nothing to do with himself, but the world is unpredictable, the Lord is difficult to understand, the minister should be the first to understand, is to be responsible, such as the clouds are often changing, such as the water is invisible, not after the rain the Lord asks to know the cloud, not the water does not have the Lord to know the river blockage
If I want to move, transfer the two river boats of Zhang Wang, and the goods cannot be pressed, then the Yellow River will go up and down, and the prices will rise, does it have anything to do with you? ”
The more Fang Liu'er spoke, the louder he became, and Du Xian kept retreating, his face flushed when he was reprimanded, especially the last thing Fang Liu'er said about transferring the two ships of the Zhang Wang family to press the goods, which scared him a lot, if he really wanted to do that, it would have a greater impact than the wind flow
Yuwen Rong was speechless when he saw that Du Xian was questioned, coughed, and said: "Fang Xiaoniang is really extraordinary, Zhang Wang's family is indeed based on people's livelihood, and has never moved the slightest crooked mind, otherwise my Tang Dynasty will definitely be in chaos, I have long heard that Fang Xiaoniang is smart when she is young, and she knows the sky, and she is deeply valued and cultivated by Zhang Wang's family
Lord Du is also anxious in his heart, and he is offended by his words, please don't blame, but at this moment, the price of garlic is rising, Your Majesty is afraid that he will not stop it, and then there are other things that continue to increase in price. ”
Du Xian glanced at Yu Wenrong gratefully, and secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead, he only then remembered that Fang Liu'er was not an ordinary woman, she was taken by the Zhang and Wang families since she was a child, and she was carefully taught, and her knowledge was not less than that of herself
Zhang Zhong was smiling next to him, and the other party Liu Er was satisfied, and secretly thought, 'That's right, let them think that they are officials, dare to scare my Zhang family, hum, is it so simple that my Zhang family can be a deacon?' ’
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong said to Fang Liu'er: "Liu'er, since Your Majesty has come to ask you, if you have a way, you can talk about it, and you can't let the person who did it to my people be proud."
Fang Liuer's respect for Zhang Zhong is heavier than that for Li Longji, without Zhang Wang's family, there would be no current self, even if he doesn't starve to death, he can't live his current life, seeing Zhang Zhong speak, he bowed respectfully and said:
"I know that it is the wind logistics to do, with the logistics compensation as the guide, the accumulation of goods does not come out, and the March compensation cycle, I have seen a copy of the contract, it is written that it is three times the compensation, but it is not said that it is three times the money
It can be said that it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, it will not take three months, garlic will come down, if the price of garlic is high, they will ship it in advance, and then buy cheap garlic to pay others, if the price of garlic is still high, they will use money to pay, I estimate that in the end it must be that the price of garlic is too high, they lose money, so that they can get a lot of benefits from it
Whatever I do, the result will be that they will profit from it, unless it is the idea of the merchants who see the 'benefit' to stop gathering money to make garlic, otherwise the people will suffer."
"Can't you stop them?" Colliers asked with a frown
Fang Liu'er didn't say anything for a while, lowered her head and thought there, other people's eyes were on her, hoping that she could come up with a good solution, this kind of thing is the first time she has encountered it, and she still wants to suppress it, if she doesn't press it, she doesn't have to worry about it, but everyone is gradually concerned about economic matters, and if they don't suppress it, they are absolutely ashamed of the people
After a while, Fang Liu'er raised her head and said helplessly: "I can only let them stabilize the price at the current level, when the garlic comes down, they will buy garlic to compensate, and they can still make money, as for letting them lose money, I can't do it."
When the ministers heard this, their faces showed regret, what they wanted to see most was that the wind flow lost money after this incident, and saw if they dared to do it casually, but the people at the top of the list couldn't think of a way, let alone them
Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi said, "What is the way?" ”
"Ordered Datang Qianzhuang to make every effort to reduce the proportion of the mortgage fee for goods, not to lend to Wind Logistics, and let the arms control department stop collecting sulfur in the near future, I investigated when the price of garlic rose, their deposit was exchanged for silver and sulfur shipped from Japan, and now there are a lot of goods
As long as the margin is insufficient, other merchants who want to get the benefits of compensation will not dare to let them continue to consign, forcing them to sell the garlic slowly now, and wait for the garlic to come down and then buy garlic to pay for compensation, and make a little less."
As soon as Fang Liu'er opened her mouth, she had to mobilize the two main departments, which was the method she thought of
Yu Wenrong pondered for a moment and asked, "What if they themselves use garlic, silver, and sulfur to engage in usury in private?" ”
"The mortgage ratio of the money bank has changed, and the people who lend money privately will also make a low price of money, and the sulfur is not afraid to collect, garlic, who dares to give garlic too high a mortgage price? We can release the news so that other merchants understand that Wind Logistics is not well funded."
Fang Liu'er replied
"What if they would rather lower the price and make usury and then collect the garlic themselves, thus raising the price?" Yu Wenrong asked again
Fang Liu'er smiled this time, "If they dare to harvest garlic by themselves, I will let them pay for their deaths, once they are directly involved in this business, I have a way to deal with them, I am afraid that they will not stretch out their hands."
The ministers put down their snacks a little, thinking that it is good to control the price of garlic to the current level, and when the garlic comes down, it will naturally fall, as for how the other party will pay for the direct purchase of garlic, then don't worry, I think Fang Liuer has the ability to do what she said
Only Li Longji was unhappy, what he wanted was not to stabilize the current price, but to make Wind Logistics suffer a loss, so that he would not dare to do it again
So he asked Fang Liu'er hopefully: "Is there really no way to make them lose money?" ”
Fang Liu'er shook her head regretfully, "Back to Your Majesty, I can't think of a good way for the time being, but if you tell the little boy, the little boy will make a move, then it will be absolutely fine."
"Hey~ It seems that I still have to send a message to Xiaobao, I hope he is not so busy and has time to deal with this matter" Li Longji sighed and looked at Gao Lishi
Colliers nodded, and was about to send a telegram
At this time, the little eunuch Luo Bin hurriedly ran in and reported to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the cooks of the Zhuangyuan Building suddenly came, just outside the palace, saying that they wanted to cook for Your Majesty, and the leader was Master Ni, who was the chef of the Shuiyunjian flagship store in Tuqiao Village, Sanshui County."
Li Longji looked up at the sky, it was still early before noon, what kind of dishes did he come here at this time? His eyes looked at Zhang Zhong
Zhang Zhong was at a loss, he didn't know what the chef from the Zhuangyuan Building was doing, so Master Ni was not in the Zhuangyuan Building, when did he come back?
As soon as he saw Zhang Zhong's eyes, Li Longji knew that he didn't know, so he asked, "Who asked them to come?" ”
"They said it was Zhang Jiedu's envoy, and they said that it could solve His Majesty's worries," Luo Bin replied
"People from the Xiaobao Sect? Solve my worries? I want to deal with the flow of the wind now, is it possible that I will know the way after eating? Go and bring people to the imperial kitchen."
Li Longji didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhang Xiaobao's gourd, but he still agreed
"Your Majesty, someone said that they would do it in front of you in Xingqing Palace," Luo Bin said again
"Then bring them to Xingqing Palace, can they bring tools and materials?" Li Longji agreed to Zhang Xiaobao's wishes
"I didn't bring it, I said that I would let the imperial kitchen come out, and I will arrange it" Luo Bin didn't need the emperor to tell him to go to the imperial kitchen, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Li Longji has been talking to Fang Liu'er during this time, asking her what needs to be paid attention to at the beginning of spring, what kind of goods have big price fluctuations, whether they need to be suppressed, how the clothing fair is prepared, what are the clothes made for the children and what are the surprises, etc
Fang Liu'er replied fluently, and emphasized that the most likely problem lies in logistics, so that the emperor does not have to worry, Zhang and Wang will make corresponding adjustments to daily necessities, as long as others do not specifically hype up a certain item, then according to the law from time to time, without Zhang and Wang's two families, the floating range of prices will naturally remain within a certain range
Even if someone makes a move, it is not to operate on the necessities, and they don't have to care, such as canned food, drinks, of course, except for garlic, which is a condiment, which is said to be a non-essential product, but many people like to eat it, as for the price increase of a certain kind of meat, don't care, you can eat something else if you don't eat this
Li Longji and the ministers listened, and then they knew that there were still many dangerous aspects of Datang, which seemed to be stable, but in fact, it had been changing, but the magnitude of the change was within an acceptable range, and if they wanted to control it, the only way to do it was to follow the trend and adjust it from the side
Li Longji sighed a lot in his heart: "In this era of technological explosion, the country is the most unstable period, if it were not for the price of daily necessities, such as salt, tea, oil, cloth, rice and flour, medicine and other things, there would definitely be businessmen who took the opportunity to get a lot of benefits."
At that time, the people of the clan, as well as the people of various families, will also stretch out their hands, waiting to find out that something is wrong, and if they want to stop it, they will not be able to kill it, and the throne may not be as stable as it is now
It seems that only by waiting for more people to understand technology, more children to grow up, not so easily deceived, and to get through this period of outbreak and return to stability, can we not have to worry about the control of the Zhang and Wang families
If it weren't for the garlic incident, I really didn't think much about it, Datang reached such a critical moment, Zhang and Wang did it so silently, without showing waves, this may be the real love without borders, no, there is a border, they are only loyal to Datang'
When Li Longji was thinking about things, the other people were also silent with their own thoughts, and it wasn't until Master Ni came to Xingqing Palace with a team of cooks that everyone became active again
All kinds of cooking tools and ingredients were sent at the same time, Master Ni and the others obviously changed their clothes, they should have taken a bath, one was clean, and the other was afraid that someone would carry poison with them
The ministers also understood that the reason why the other party did not bring anything was because they were afraid that it would be cumbersome to check
Zhang Zhong stood up at this time, nodded at his cooks, and didn't stand back, it seemed that he planned to wait for each dish to be made and he would taste it first, so that he didn't need to test for drugs, and his cooks couldn't poison him
Master Ni didn't say much, came to salute and began to organize people, the one who changed the knife was responsible for changing, the side dish was responsible for the side dishes, and the spoon was also standing in front of the stove, washing the vegetables, picking the vegetables was also completed, and another knife skill took out a set of knives and prepared to carve
Li Longji was looking forward to it, wanting to taste the taste of the dishes made by the people deliberately sent by Zhang Xiaobao, and the other ministers were also bright-eyed, they understood that the chef in front of him represented the top cooking skills of the chefs in Shuiyunjian
Usually, even if you go to Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha, you can't eat it, but now you don't have to eat it, just looking at the lineup feels honored
The team led by Master Ni naturally will not let the emperor wait for half an hour and not serve the food, let alone for the emperor to eat, even the usual water and clouds and blue sea and silver sand are impossible to make the guests wait for half an hour, the rule is that if the dish ordered in the middle of the moment does not come up, the dish needs to be free again, if you wait for others to finish eating and have not served, then you have to deduct an extra amount of money from the dish money, only in this way can it reflect the difference between the water and clouds and the blue sea and silver sand
Therefore, the emperor should eat quickly, and as soon as the oil in the spoon was put off the pot, the two plates were served first
Ginger ice shrimp, except for the simple ginger shreds, it is ice shrimp, there is no vinegar, no soy sauce and other messy things
Since the ingredients are all taken from the imperial kitchen, there is no special taste for this dish, ice shrimp is still ice shrimp, ginger is still ginger, Li Longji didn't eat it, he can eat such a dish at any time if he wants
The second cold dish is green onion mixed with clams, which is only sprinkled with a little oyster sauce, the third cold dish, the scallion oil and cucumber peel, drizzled with sesame sauce, and the fourth cold dish is shredded with ginger sauce, only the ginger shreds are slightly fried with several other seasonings, and the chicken is originally made
As soon as the four cold dishes came up, the first hot dish also followed, chicken slices with scallion oil, green onions, bean sprouts, chicken and a few other accessories
It was only at this time that Li Longji picked up the chopsticks, and did not wait for Zhang Zhong to taste them first, he directly grabbed a chopstick and ate it, and as soon as the dish was in his mouth, he bowed slightly, "Yes, the earthy smell in the bean sprouts and the light fishy smell of the chicken are combined, and they become fresh, plus the scallion oil, it is very appetizing to eat, Zhongqing tastes it"
When the ministers saw that the emperor had taken a bite directly, their eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhong, the meaning inside was self-evident, how much face could it be for the emperor to eat it directly without letting people test the poison? Although it is impossible for cooks to carry poison on them, they can also make poison out of each other
Who doesn't know that someone wants to send a dish to the emperor, and it will become cold when it is hot and eats it in the emperor's mouth? It seems that except for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who came to make things in person, there has never been a time when the emperor has used chopsticks immediately, and now Zhang Zhong is the second person to do it to such an extent
Zhang Zhong was also excited, and followed the second one to pick up a chopstick and stuff it in his mouth, no matter whether it was delicious or not, swallow it as quickly as possible
Other people also came over to taste it one by one, but fortunately, there were not many people who were found by Li Longji, and one bite was still enough
Waiting for a plate of scallion oil chicken slices to be eaten, the second dish of braised mackerel with green onion and ginger was also served, and then the third dish of shredded pork with sweet noodle sauce was also immediately arranged, which was actually shredded pork with Beijing sauce, but it was not called that now
From this time on, one dish after another was delivered, and some of them took a long time to be made, and they could come up after a while, and when they ate the tenth dish, the box of green onions, beef and pork mixed filling was also served in front of Li Longji as the main food
Li Longji tasted two bites of each dish and didn't eat much, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat the dishes he made when he was full, so he waited for two boxes and drank some wine, and when the scallion stuffy pork ribs were served, Li Longji and the ministers finally found a problem
In all the dishes, whether it is the main ingredient or the auxiliary ingredients, there is no garlic, there are green onions, ginger, cloves, even flowers, spices, but there is no garlic in sight, but the taste is not affected at all, but it makes people feel that garlic should not be put in, otherwise the taste will deteriorate
When the last dish of ginger stuffy crab meat was served, Master Ni saluted Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, the little boy sent a telegram asking me to wait for your majesty to cook for you, and also said that these dishes will not be used as confidential dishes in Shuiyunjian and Bihai Yinsha, and it is estimated that at this time, it has been transmitted to all parts of my Datang by telegram and sent to various restaurants and restaurants."
In addition, the north is warm and cold in spring, and the Deyi Medical College has researched supplements, which will be sent to all parts of the north later, but I heard that those supplements should not be eaten with garlic, so your majesty should remember when you eat them."
"Oh, okay, don't eat garlic, don't eat garlic" Li Longji's eyebrows raised, and he promised again and again, if he didn't know Zhang Xiaobao's method at this time, he would really be a fool
"Good way, as long as others don't eat garlic and like to eat other things, the price of garlic can't be raised, especially these dishes are taught by Shui Yunjian and Bihai Yinsha, they will definitely become popular, a good trick to draw salary, Xiaobao's trick is really extraordinary"
Zhang Jiuling felt that the dishes he had just eaten were extremely delicious, and praised them
Yu Wenrong also nodded, "Yes, there is no way to use the flow of wind with one move, unless they also have a signboard like Shuiyunjian, and there must be a medical school of arts."
"A move, is it a move?" Li Longji asked suspiciously, he knew Zhang Xiaobao very well, not just lost in a confrontation, he was familiar with Zhang Xiaobao's style of acting, he didn't think that Zhang Xiaobao only thought of this little way
Gao Lishi interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the minister's son, oh, the minister's son will not be so simple, Xiaobao's plan has always been stacked in a row, and the flow of this wind is in trouble, but I don't know that this matter has just risen, how did Xiaobao know?" Xiaobao seems to be accompanying Mo Jianlian to Sanshui County."
Gao Lishi has already treated Zhang Xiaobao as his own son, habitually exported, and found that his father was still staying aside, so he had to change his words, but he was also happy, his son is also a son, and he will die in the future, and he will also have to be sent to the end
Zhang Zhong faintly tasted in his heart, his good son, if he had to be recognized by others as a godson, he always felt that he had lost it, that was a fairy son, and this Gaolishi was not afraid of losing his life
A little angry said: "Since Xiaobao has a plan, I don't know how to tell me about this father earlier, tell Your Majesty as soon as possible, it's too unusual"
No one else answered his words, don't look at him and say okay, he is Zhang Xiaobao's father, and others follow him and say that it is easy for Zhang Xiaobao to know about it
Master Ni explained at this time: "Please also ask the master to forgive the sin, the news that the little boy came last night, I have been busy thinking about how to arrange the dishes, so I didn't have time to tell the master, I also rushed back from Wannian County overnight, and the little boy should have another plan to tell others, and it is being implemented."
As for how the little boy knew about garlic, the news has already explained that the little boy arrived in Sanshui County, casually asked the county order, and found that the price of garlic had risen, and he noticed that something was wrong, which made people investigate overnight and make a plan with the fastest degree, which was delayed by us and had nothing to do with the little boy."
"You are loyal, isn't it because your family was too honest and was oppressed by others, and then Xiaobao found you as the chef and helped you solve the trouble, and said to you, 'You can't do this kind of calculating thing, I can't cook, and I can't succeed in Shuiyunjian It's up to you'? I also know to cover for him."
Zhang Zhong said another word to Master Ni, but there was a look of praise in his words, he naturally didn't know that his son was learning the story of the surname Jiang who bought people's hearts when he was defending on the front line of the Yangtze River
When Master Ni heard the master mention this matter, his eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and said to Zhang Zhong: "Master, please rest assured, as long as I am in one day, the dishes of Zhang Wang's restaurant are absolutely unique in Datang."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about family life for the two of you, Xiaobao is really not ordinary, even casually ask about the situation in Sanshui County, and you can also find problems, but I don't know what other strategies have not come out, I'll wait and see."
Li Longji stopped Zhang Zhong and Master Ni from continuing, and said to Master Ni and the others: "Okay, the dishes are good, they are better than my imperial kitchen, reward, Lux, go and inquire, what is Xiaobao's plan behind me, I want to know"
Master Ni unloaded his grace and left, and Gao Lishi was also busy inquiring about things, so he didn't need to ask others, he sent a telegram directly to Zhang Xiaobao
Fang Liu'er didn't leave after she was full, blinking her eyes and thinking vigorously, thinking about what else should be after this plan to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, if she could figure it out, it would go further
On the day that Li Longji finished tasting the dishes cooked by Master Ni, the dishes that all the restaurants and restaurants in the entire Tang Dynasty knew about wherever they could receive telegrams received great attention for a while because they were in the name of water and clouds
Especially in the areas affected by the rise in garlic prices, it was found that all the dishes did not need garlic, and smart people could save some garlic money, but faintly felt that the price increase of garlic was resisted by Shui Yunjian and Bihai Yinsha
This is not a trivial matter, behind the water and clouds are the Zhang Wang family of Sanshui County, the chief and deputy envoys of Bohai, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
So these smart people immediately followed the pace of the water and clouds to start cooking, the dishes made at noon that day made them happy again, many people who came to eat after eating the dishes, all said good, one is strange, the other is indeed not bad, who said that you have to have garlic to cook
Kazehashi Shoji and the three of them also tasted the dish on the fifth floor of the Shuiyunjian Restaurant at noon that day, and the guy specially introduced that when the dish did not need to put garlic, Kazehashi Shoji was stunned, and Yamamoto and Yamaji were stupid
"It's over, I'll just say that I can't do this, it's only been a few days, Zhang Xiaobao knows, Fengqiaojun, sell it quickly, sell the garlic quickly, sell it now, wait for the garlic to come down, buy it and pay it to others, we can make less money"
After Yamamoto was in a trance for a while, he pale and persuaded Shoji Kazehashi, who was still stunned there
Yamaji's face is also not good-looking, he and Yamamoto are not the first time to fight Zhang Xiaobao, but every time they fight, their own side will suffer, and Luo's people, just look at the business association that was trapped under Changning, as long as you meet Zhang Xiaobao, it is definitely not good
Kazehashi Shoji was stunned for a while, looked at Yamamoto and Yamaji, and asked, "Zhang Xiaobao is so idle to take care of the increase in garlic prices?" Is he specifically targeting businessmen? As long as a merchant finds a profitable deal, he will stop it? ”
"No, absolutely not" Yamamoto shook his head
"He doesn't care about normal business things, but he opposes any fraudulent business practices, especially those that affect people's livelihoods, and as for other aspects, he doesn't care, who can make money is whose ability, but ...... As long as the person who does anything about salt, grain, silk, medicine, oil, etc., he will definitely persuade him, and if the persuasion fails, it will immediately be a thunderous means."
"Then we didn't persuade him," Shoji Kazahashi thought about it
"Because we are not from Datang, the thing he dislikes the most is that there are people from other countries around Datang who come to look for trouble, it is said that he has busy things all day long, and he is not willing to spend energy in this area, so once encountered, he will be very tough to let others know what can be done and what cannot be done
Oh, I heard that he also has a special training class, he personally taught, even if they can't meet, there will be correspondence, that part of the people should still be learning, and when he learns his skills, he can let go, I and Yamaji-kun also signed up at the beginning, and spent a lot of registration fees
As a result, when I went in, I learned that Zhang Xiaobao would only teach those who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and there was a test before he taught it, and I didn't expect it to be arranged by him, and the results were all eliminated."
Yamamoto said to Kazahashi, annoyed when he thought of what had happened
"What quiz?" Kazahashi wondered, this was something Yamamoto hadn't told him
"It's a test of loyalty, some people will be found by others, saying that they will arrange for his family to go somewhere else, and will give him many, many benefits, as long as he finishes his studies, he quietly writes down the not very important knowledge to others, and the people who promise are all eliminated."
Yamamoto introduced one, and Yamaji followed and said: "There is also a certain prince's person who came to him and said that he could give it to the person who studied high-ranking officials, but he had to help this prince do three things, and the prince guaranteed the safety of him and his family, but he was eliminated as a result."
There is another threat, tell the person who wants to learn, what he has learned must be written, if he does not do it, he and his family will be harmed, and the person who is afraid will be eliminated again, only to regret that later they will know that anyone who can go to study, the family is all protected by the people of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp, and there is no need to worry about the future."
Shoji Kazahashi understood, and asked the two Yamamoto suspiciously, "What about you?" How was it eliminated? ”
"We?" Yamamoto and Yamaji glanced at each other, sighed and said: "Hey, we were found by the Luo people, saying that they are also learning, maybe everyone learns differently, when the time comes, tell each other, learn from each other's strengths, I think about it with the mountain temple, and try not to tell the Luo people about good knowledge when the time comes, the result is ...... You'll find out."
"Oh~" Shoji Kazahashi understood, and suddenly asked with interest: "Then let me think of a way, I'll learn, and I'll definitely pass the test"
"It's late, just recruit one realm, and the next realm doesn't know when to recruit again, or think about the current thing, garlic is estimated to be difficult to sell"
Yamamoto was worried again
Shoji Kazehashi also returned to reality, looking down at the dishes on the table, trying to figure out a way, he didn't believe that he would lose, he would lose so quickly, it was so simple, a few dishes in the water cloud would make his plan fail, there would definitely be other ways
Yamamoto and Yamaji also wanted to help, but as soon as they considered that the opponent was Zhang Xiaobao, their heads were messed up, in their hearts, Zhang Xiaobao was invincible, and if they wanted not to be fooled, the best way was not to contact him, otherwise there would be absolutely no good results
Now I don't have contact with him, but he still finds it, as long as more people approve of other spices, garlic doesn't want to continue to sell at a high price
Like a born calf, Shoji Kazahashi was full of fighting spirit, and after thinking for a quarter of an hour without admitting defeat, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he asked Yamamoto and Yamadera with confidence, "Do you say that garlic is really bad?" ”
"Of course not, garlic and meat are eaten together, it is still very delicious, but we understand that it is useless, now many restaurants do not make dishes with garlic, and it is useless for people to eat, I know this, the trend force in economics is also the role of the brand, Zhang Xiaobao has water and clouds, it is enough"
Yamamoto shook his head, but there was still no way, and Yamaji was worried, "Kazehashi-kun, you haven't understood yet?" Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to use administrative means to deal with us, otherwise we would be finished, such as ordering Datang Qianzhuang not to give us loans, such as letting the people in the government strictly investigate hoarding
Hurry up and let go, otherwise it's too late, Zhang Xiaobao, you don't understand, now it's using diet to press, and there will be other means immediately, really, I didn't lie to you"
As he was talking, the guy knocked on the door and entered, "Three, my store took advantage of the spring season to launch a very cheap tonic medicinal diet, select medicinal materials that look ordinary and available, with special technology, the medicinal diet produced has the merit of consolidating the foundation of the trainer, three of you taste, but remember, do not eat with garlic"
After the guy finished speaking, he left the medicinal diet that was given away and left, Yamamoto pointed to the medicinal diet with trembling hands, and said to Fengqiao: "Fengqiao-kun, do you see it?" Zhang Xiaobao's second hand came out, I estimate that it won't be long before these dishes and medicinal foods will be introduced into ordinary people's homes, just now the guy said, the medicinal materials are easy to find, and the explanation is not expensive"
Shoji Kazahashi's expression became serious, he felt that he had finally met an opponent, that was Zhang Xiaobao, as for whether Zhang Xiaobao regarded him as an opponent, he didn't think about it
picked up the chopsticks and tasted the medicinal food, but I don't know if it tastes good, or it's really good, or the psychological effect, anyway, he agrees
Swallowing the things and putting the chopsticks away, Shoji Kazehashi said to the Yamamoto couple: "It is impossible for Datang not to eat garlic forever, even if it is not for a few months, the current one is fake, Zhang Xiaobao deliberately used this to force us, wanting us to sell the garlic in advance."
But I absolutely can't sell, if I sell, I will lose money, you don't just think about the triple compensation and the current price of garlic, the price of the goods when we mortgage is not the real price, whether it is Datang Qianzhuang or private loans, we can only get two-thirds of the money for silver and sulfur
Plus the money and ...... we hire and public relations money, we sell it now, every pound of garlic sold, we will lose two taels of garlic money, we are here to make money, not to lose money"
Yamaji nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood, "Kazehashi-kun, I understand, but if we don't sell it again, we won't lose two taels of garlic."
"Then don't sell it, continue to find a way to find someone to mortgage silver and sulfur, and collect garlic, and it is five times the loss compensation, but the compensation period becomes half a year, show those merchants our silver and sulfur, and then tell them that within three months, Japan will ship a large amount of silver."
Shoji Kazehashi said firmly, as if he had won the battle
"But no silver has been delivered in three months," Yamamoto said
"They don't know, even if they can't, they have to bribe the relevant people to make them believe, go, do it, believe me, and they won't lose"
Shoji Kazahashi looked at Yamamoto and Yamadera seriously, his eyes firm
Changed to his eyes and belief before, it was okay, but now it doesn't work, Shanji clicked his mouth twice and shook his head, "Okay, I listen to you, I will pay for it, this time it was Zhang Xiaobao who shot, I don't count on it"
The three of them were not happy at all at this meal, even if the level of the chef in the water cloud room was very high
As soon as the three of them left the restaurant, they acted separately, Shoji Kazehashi went to do the matter of increasing the compensation by five times, Yamamoto arranged the transportation of goods, and Yamadera was in charge of public relations, wanting to get more money to operate
Shoji Kazahashi did a very good job, as soon as he said that the price was increased by five times, many merchants began to busy collecting garlic again, and gradually raised the purchase price, Yamamoto did not have much to do, as long as he did a good job of hiding garlic, and found a place that was slightly dry and not lacking moisture
The mountain temple is not easy to do, he has just eaten, he still has to find someone to eat, drink, and send money to bribe others, even then people do not let go, because the people who borrowed privately also found that Zhang Xiaobao did it
In their hearts, Zhang Xiaobao is a god-like existence, who dares to put money on Wind Flow when he does it?
Even Zhang Xiaobao didn't consider this point himself, he just needed to use his reputation to crush Shoji Kazehashi to death, and his plan was still in progress
Three days later, the people were given the recipe for the dish and the recipe for the medicinal diet, and tried it at home in the spirit of curiosity
In the past three days, no one has bought garlic, but the price of garlic has risen again and again, and it has become more than three times the original amount
Shoji Kazahashi was happy now, waiting for the price to quadruple, sell the previous garlic, and then use the money to continue to be a guarantee, and he can buy more garlic, continue to increase the price of compensation, and sell the garlic that pays five times the compensation, and he can still get money
He found a way that even if the payout of the consignment went on forever, not only would he not pay, but he would also make a profit every time the payout price was raised
A lot of things can happen in three days, and Huainan Province, which is next to Jiangnan Province, suddenly shipped a lot of garlic, and directly found Kazehashi Shoji, and asked Wind Logistics to help transport it, and after checking the guarantee of Wind Logistics, he was relieved to hand over to Wind Logistics
When the other merchants saw this, they were also very moved, and they also raised funds and ran to other places, hoping to buy garlic from a distant place, so that they could make a fortune at that time
Liu Er, who has been paying attention to this matter, is puzzled, she sees the method of Wind Logistics, and judging according to this situation, unless it is to make the margin of Wind Logistics not enough all of a sudden, there is no good way
But the silver and sulfur of Wind Logistics, even if it can only be exchanged for one-third of the money in the end, it is more than 300,000 yuan, how much can you buy? It is estimated that the garlic eaten by the Tang people in a year will not be used for these
Then in the end, is it just waiting for them to pay and not be able to catch them?
Thinking like this, Liu Er sent a telegram to Xiao Gongzi, wanting to ask what was going on, if it was really allowed to do the flow of the wind, there would be many merchants in Datang who would suffer in the end, would it be regarded as a punishment for the merchants?
The telegram was quickly transmitted, and it did not take long for it to come back again, and Liu Er opened the paper with the words written on it with a reverent heart, only to see that it was written: "Good rain knows the season, when spring occurs and sneaks into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently"
What does this mean? Liu Er didn't react for a while, thought hard, and was finally seen by Xin'er, and suddenly smiled, "Said to Liu Er, spring is coming, it will rain, and then this year's spring ploughing will go on very smoothly, but you must be careful to prevent moisture, especially hoarding a lot of things, such as cloth, such as wood, such as green onions and ginger."
Liu Er suddenly, and then said: "It's like garlic, if it gets wet, it will definitely break, do we have a dry squeeze, I don't know if they will buy it if they sell it to Wind Logistics, it's me who is obsessed, and I forget that any business behavior must cooperate with the environment."
