Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Unprecedented Business

It is difficult to change the long-formed cognition, the imitation of the modern high table and high chair obviously gave a set of bitter wine, but the yam refused to be used to entertain guests, saying that Mr. Bai is a nobleman, and the traditional food table should be used. There's no way, look at the tall and tall sons and young officials who can sit in front of the half-meter-high food table, what else can Bai Dong say? Kneel and sit, just kneel and sit, once or twice will not become a circle of legs. It still has to develop education, "Kindergarten Wenlin" can solve the problem of enlightenment, it will take time to change the outdated ideas that go deep into the bone marrow, if one day it really changes, maybe those old masters who advocate 'self-denial and revenge' will jump out and scold themselves for breaking etiquette.

Fortunately, the dishes are quite rich, the mouth is not wronged, bitter wine is a girl with strong observation and learning ability, look at the dishes she makes, you will know the way, white-style fat sheep stew, perfect sun eggs, vinegar and autumn siad core, the most wonderful is a kind of egg-wrapped meat, that is, the mutton foam is wrapped in a thin egg skin, fried in oil, crispy and tender, very delicious. Bai Dong thought that the anointing oil was not good for consumption, so he did it once, but he didn't expect it to be learned by her, and he didn't see bitter wine and eat at home? It is estimated that Cao'er secretly took out the fish and invited her to eat, so that she could 'steal' her own craft, if it wasn't for her concern, what explanation could there be?

Thinking about people in his heart, his eyes naturally looked over, and he happened to touch the bitter wine, and saw that the white melon seed face was flushed, and it spread out in circles, until the neck position, Bai Dong suddenly had a sense of satisfaction as a man, and there was no reason to jump in his heart, it felt like drinking alcohol, and he had already felt it, and now the bitter wine is already a cocktail with a unique taste, and you can get drunk even if you are not a drunkard.

Yam was very embarrassed, he knew about his daughter's going to the Bai family, and the words brought by the old lady also came into his ears, "Bitter wine is a good boy, I like it", his daughter was not allowed to have much contact with Mr. Bai before, that was for fear that the Bai family would be annoyed, and the common people could not afford to provoke the nobles. Since Zhiludao's daughter and Mrs. Cao'er got together, his mind began to move, the original fear and worry began to turn into expectation, and there was even a trace of delusion, I thought that my daughter would run the Bai family a few more times, maybe she would be accepted as a concubine by Mr. Bai or something, but I didn't expect her daughter to be cold first, this kind of change is not visible to others, but he, who is a father, feels it, and is anxious and worried.

But looking at the appearance of the two of them today, it doesn't seem to be what he imagined, what does this broken woman want to do? Mr. Bai is not a fish, can you be allowed to fish like this? Going back and waiting for Mr. Bai to leave, it is necessary for the father to have a good talk with his daughter.

The bean curd of bitter wine is getting better and better, and it has thrown off the two streets of Baidong. Look at the big old bowl, the white is bean curd, the black is the chicken soup, the yellow chicken shreds ripple in the soup base, plus the verdant green onion leaves, a few cloves of wild garlic, it is too tempting The young officer of the son desperately stuffed it into his mouth, and insisted on making a humming and chirping sound, Bai Dong said that he was more ugly than a pig, but the bitter wine was not smiling, and the guests were devoted, which was the highest praise for the chef.

The delicious bean curd is a personal favorite, but Bai Chong, who hurried over to rub the rice, didn't seem to be in a bad mood, glared at the young officer, and signaled him to be more restrained, just eat, don't make it like a pig's head, right? Seeing that it had no effect, he turned his head and said to Bai Dong with a wry smile: "Brother, my brother really can't wait to become like this rammer, then there is no need to worry."

"I heard that my brother became a city official, but I haven't congratulated him yet. The king wants to open the city, especially preferential treatment for business travelers from all over the world, this is a fundamental plan for Lao Qin? My brother is at the right time, it's best to stretch and make contributions, but it's much better than doing that oak yang order, why don't you see my brother happy, but worry? ”

Later generations thought that Qin Shi banned business, but in fact it was not. After Wei Ying's entry into the Qin Dynasty, the first round of reform proposed that 'heavy agriculture and suppress business' was actually just a ban on people from abandoning farming and engaging in business, and as for those who were not farmers in the first place, they would be subject to heavy taxes in Guanshi. Wei Ying also welcomed foreign merchants to do business in Lao Qin, during the Warring States Period, countries had different products, and economic transactions were equally important to all countries; Isn't it a slap in the face for the Legalists to take the enrichment of the country as their ultimate goal and block economic development?

At this time, the Qin State was more economical, and Lao Yinglian relied on the slave owners and old nobles of Yongdu politically, but in his bones he hoped to completely get rid of their influence, which required economic independence. The 'initial rent' system cultivates the emerging landlord class, promotes commercial development and invigorates the economy, these are his two magic weapons, and letting Bai Chong be the city official is to value his flexibility, brains, loyalty and at the same time a national relative, which can be said to have deep hopes for him.

How can Bai Chong not see this, since taking office, he has been conscientious, within the scope of the authority of the 'free tax', he has either supported or imposed heavy taxes on businesses, and he has done a good job of proportion, seeing that Liyang Guan City is thriving, this year's tax will be twice as high as last year, and he didn't expect his brother to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and there was a secret trick behind his back, how could he not be depressed?

"Ping An Lang, what are you going to do here? Do you know that half of the sixteen shops purchased by Uncle Yam were supported by my brother and me, and you just bought them with a lot of money, Uncle Yam encountered someone who was unwilling to transfer the shop, so he raised your name, and there was a rammer who rushed to the door to intimidate! Tell me, what kind of thing is this? When did your Bai family become a bandit and robber, brother, why don't I know the way? ”

"And that kind of thing?"

Bai Dong glanced at the young official Gongzi, this product had already eaten the fifth bowl of bean curd, and he didn't even dare to raise his head when his head was buried in the big old bowl. It's really good, who said that this is a stupid person, who has been helping Yam sing for so long with a black face, and he is still in the dark?

Yam was also very embarrassed: "Mr. Bai, I am also afraid that I will miss your big event, so I don't blame my uncle, if it weren't for the little old man begging, my uncle wouldn't have made a move." ”

"Uncle Yam, misunderstand me!"

Now that he is crying along with the bitter wine, Brother Yam has been a generation taller, what else can Bai Dong say? sighed slightly, turned his head and picked up the ears of the young officer: "Did you hurt anyone?" ”

"How can that? Brother rest assured, it is to scare and scare those stubborn guys, and it doesn't hurt anyone. ”

"Don't do this kind of thing next time, hurt yin morality."

Hearing that it didn't hurt anyone, Bai Dong breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, otherwise he would be no different from those barbarian guys in later generations.

"Ping'an Lang doesn't have to take this matter too seriously, this kind of thing has been done by the old Gan family, and your Lao Bai family in Yongdu has not done less, it is common, but this time I saw it, and I don't want you to learn from those people. It's just that you have been fooled like this, and the taxes in the city are much less, and my brother's face is dull, and this huge deficit is just afraid that it will still fall on your head. Let's talk about it, what kind of business do you want to do when you buy so many stores? As long as it is not an official sale such as salt and iron, my brother will definitely support it. ”

"My brother is a city official, so I should know that these shops purchased by my younger brother are all close together, right?" Bai Dong smiled and said, "If the younger brother opens up all these stores and connects them into one, what does the elder brother think?" ”

"What do you say? It is necessary to open up all these sixteen shops and connect them into one! ”

Bai Chong's eyes widened, he really couldn't understand what kind of business needed such a big shop, which was bigger than the Liyang Palace; As far as he knows, it seems that there is no need for such a large storefront, which is a waste!

"Hehe, the business that the younger brother wants to do is naturally unprecedented, after the sixteen shops are completely opened, a super hypermarket will be formed, but the younger brother only sells things related to literary affairs, and will never be contaminated with things sold by state officials. Well, I've got the name of the store in mind, and it's called 'Mandarin Supermarket'. ”

"Supermarket? It's a super market, right? My brother is smart, I like this name! ”

Yam, bitter wine and Bai Chong were still pondering the meaning of this supermarket, but it was the young official Gongzi who was the first to applaud him. This guy has never been a stupid person, but he is reckless and doesn't like to be literate, and when he encounters something that interests him, he reacts faster than anyone else.
