Chapter 64: A dilemma

Of course, the two old ladies did not object, and in the end, Li Yuzhen changed the surname Li to the surname Zhang, and officially became Zhang Shuting's daughter.

After Zhang Shuting officially accepted Zhang Yuzhen, that is, Li Yuzhen as his daughter, Lao Sun kept clamoring for Zhang Shuting to invite the guys.

"The owner, this time there are righteous sons and daughters, and the guys are looking forward to you asking for another meal of white flour steamed buns and stewed pork vermicelli!" On this day, Lao Sun saw Zhang Shuting and said again.

When Zhang Yuping, that is, Li Yuping, who lived in the Yongdingmen area of the capital, was accepted as his righteous son, and at that time, he had just persuaded the soju of Yangjiazhuang to occupy the old Yang Lai, and he was happy for a while, Zhang Shuting let the kitchen on the pot kill the pig, and invited the guys to eat a meal of white flour steamed buns and stewed pork vermicelli. The meal of white flour steamed bun stewed pork vermicelli only made the guys remember deeply, and every time they talked about it, they couldn't help but salivate.

This time, I heard that the owner had a new daughter, and I couldn't help but look forward to eating such a meal of white flour steamed bun stewed pork vermicelli again. In the past two days, seeing that the owner has not moved, the guys have been talking crazy in private. Therefore, Lao Sun's statement is not unfounded.

In other words, in this case, other guys don't dare to say it in front of Zhang Shuting, Lao Sun can dare.

But Zhang Shuting heard what Lao Sun said, but he shook his head at Lao Sun with a wry smile and said:

"Old Sun, you also know our situation at this time, if this matter was placed before the big water, I would have invited it a long time ago, otherwise, I accepted my son's invitation at the beginning, but now I don't invite it, it seems that I, Zhang Shuting, are not happy to accept this daughter."

After that, he said:

"You tell the guys in private, just say that I, Zhang Shuting, owe the big guy this meal first, and when the situation improves, I will definitely make up for it."

When Lao Sun heard this, he smiled and said:

"I know, I know, I know the owner is going to invite you early. But the guys are talking about it in private, and my grandson can't help but remind the owner. ”

Zhang Shuting listened to it and smiled bitterly.

In fact, this sudden flood was preserved because the 900 acres of sorghum in Lao Xu in the south of the city were saved, so among the eleven pots in Ansu Realm, the Runquanyong pot was not the most severely affected pot. And other pots, such as Deyichang in the east of the city, Jujiuxian in the west of the city, and even the Juheyong pot of Zhang Lianqi outside the north gate, have suffered heavy losses compared to the Runquanyong pot.

The other pots were either washed away by the sudden flood, or they were lucky enough not to be washed away, but they were also like the newly harvested sorghum from the Runquanyong pot, which was moldy due to being soaked in water for a long time, and some of the sorghum was saved, but the pool where they produced wine was flooded again.

As the flood receded and the roads out of the country were restored, some of the sorghum pots were washed away by the flood, and then they began to plan to leave the country and buy sorghum again.

When Zhang Shuting heard this, he couldn't help but get anxious. On this day, he called Qi Zhankui and Lao Sun into Mr. Zhang's tent and discussed whether he should also take this opportunity to go to a place where there was no flood in other places and buy some sorghum back. Otherwise, when other pots have been purchased before leaving the country, either the sorghum will not be received, or the price of sorghum will definitely rise.

Zhang Shuting summoned them to a place to discuss, in fact, according to his original intention, even if he wanted to go abroad to buy, he didn't want to go now, he wanted to wait until there was money on the pot, and then make this plan, but he was worried that when the pot had money, would he still receive sorghum.

But what he never expected was that when Qi Zhankui and Lao Sun heard him say this, they strongly opposed it, hoping that this matter would be sooner rather than later. When it is late, once the sorghum is not harvested, there will be a day when the burning will stop on the retort, and the retort will stop burning, and there will be a day when there will be no wine to sell in the store.

And the most important thing is not only the pot on this store, Runquanyong pot in Baoding City, Daimyofu, Hejian Mansion, Shunde Mansion, Zhengding Mansion, Beijing City, Tianjin Weiqi opened seven wine shops. At that time, these shops will have no alcohol to sell, which will be a big deal to ruin the sign of Runquanyong.

And Mr. Zhang's opinion in the account room is consistent with Zhang Shuting's idea, of course, it is a good thing to buy sorghum, but there is no money in the account, and if you buy it again, you have to borrow it. But there has never been such a precedent for the pot to be burned, and it is good to say that it is not good to hear.

Zhang Shuting listened to their quarrel, and his head was a little big. At this time, his choice is also difficult, it is difficult to borrow, and there is no better place to borrow, in Ansu City, there are only two money villages, one is the "Delaiyu" of North Street, and the other is "Xinyicheng" in the south of the city.

And the "Delaiyu" on North Street is a small money bank, and I am afraid that it will not be able to lend much ocean at a time, while "Xinyicheng" is a big money bank, but Zhang Shuting does not want to have business dealings with the owner of this money bank.

If you talk about it, the owner of this Xinyi Cheng Money Village is no one else, it is the same Liu Ranzi who was separated from Zhang Shuting to open a porridge field when there was a drought the year before last, and it is not good to take millet out for his life, he is a well-known miserly master, not only stingy, but also treacherous, and everyone is unwilling to deal with him.

said that Zhang Shuting hesitated, and it was hesitation here.

But just when he was listening to Qi Zhankui's quarrel and was hesitating, Xiao Ma, the deputy head of the Industrial Section of the County Office, suddenly came to visit again. And Xiaoma's visit was not for anything else, but to inform Zhang Shuting to go to the county office early tomorrow morning, and Governor Gu would call them for a meeting. And what the specifics are, the pony is silent.

However, Zhang Shuting did not dare to delay, and the next morning, he changed into a clean robe early and went straight to the county office.

When I came to the county office, I saw that the owners of the eleven pots were still Wang Balzi, the owner of Fuhefeng Meat Shop, Zhang Luozi, the owner of Qingchun Yong Restaurant, Chu Wanxiang, the owner of Zhonghe Xuanxuan Shop, Fan Hongzhi, the shopkeeper of Liang Shuangxing Pharmacy, and Lian Xinxin, the shopkeeper of Kechengzhan Car Shop, and many other wealthy people, who had already filled the meeting hall of the county office.

Zhang Shuting picked up a seat and sat down. But he didn't sit down much, and he saw a man sneaking up to him. Zhang Shuting saw that this person was none other than Liu Chaozi, the owner of the "Xinyicheng" money bank, who he didn't want to see

I saw that this Liu Ranzi was also in his fifties, with a thin face, a pointed mouth, not tall, and every time he finished speaking, he loved to stick out his tongue and lick his upper lips.

"Do you know what the county office has summoned us for?" Liu Ranzi whispered to Zhang Shuting's ear, and after speaking, he stretched out his tongue and licked his upper lip.

Zhang Shuting shook his head.

"One is to set up a county chamber of commerce, ready to nominate Zhang Lianqi, the shopkeeper of the North Pot, as the president; The other is to increase the business surtax. Let the big guys donate more money to the county office. Seeing Zhang Shuting shaking his head, he whispered again, and after speaking, he subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked his upper lip.

Seeing that there was no reaction on Zhang Shuting's face, he heard Liu Chaozi say again:

"Just now, I said to the other shopkeepers of the pot that I will definitely stand up against Zhang Lianqi as the president."

And again, "

"Even if he is elected from the shopkeeper who opened the pot, it will not be his turn to be the president!"

Zhang Shuting still didn't speak.

Zhang Shuting didn't speak at this time, not because of anything else, but because he didn't know what this Liu Chaozi wanted to say to him.

Unexpectedly, seeing that Zhang Shuting didn't speak, he listened to Liu Chaozi and said:

"You don't know that when Governor Wang was here, he strongly recommended you to be the president."

Regarding this matter, Zhang Shuting of course knows that when Governor Wang Qintang was in office, he had it. After running a porridge field, Wang Qintang saw that the other porridge fields had been withdrawn, only the porridge field in front of the Runquanyong pot had not been withdrawn, so he was even more impressed by Zhang Shuting and felt that this was a young man who could be trusted. Later, the county office wanted to prepare for the establishment of a chamber of commerce, and Governor Wang made him one of the candidates.
