Chapter 6 Expectations
However, Ye Heng didn't care much about the Cui family's affairs.
After all, Ye Heng is only fourteen years old now, a teenage child, and a teenage girl, they are still at an age where they don't know anything, can they fall in love?
However, Ye Heng ignored that this was ancient times, and it was also the Northern Song Dynasty when the rise of science was in its infancy!
After the relatively open Tang Dynasty and the more turbulent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the folk customs of the Song Dynasty gradually began to be conservative, although at this time the science has not yet begun to form, but the people who established the science of science, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi brothers, were born in the year of the Heavenly Sage!
Moreover, the Northern Song Dynasty ruled the country with literature, from the monarchs and ministers to the common people of Limin, they all liked articles and poems, so the overall quality of the people was quite high, in such an environment, born in a scholarly family like the Cui family, Cui Ying is only fourteen years old now, but she is also a little familiar with poetry and scriptures, and for the love between men and women, she is not as ignorant as Ye Heng thinks.
This is also why, Hongsheng, who has a somewhat spicy temperament, will cry because of this incident, because she is worried about Ye Heng and the Ye family, as for what are you worried about?
Hongshang then said, "Young Master, although ...... Now the young master is very smart, but ...... Can these smarts make the young master the first in the imperial examination? The young lady of the Cui family is said to be very literate, such a person, if the young master can marry, plus Master Cui's connections in the county, the young master is smart......"
Although the words were said intermittently, the general meaning was that Hongshang actually hoped that Ye Heng could marry Cui Ying, because Cui Ying herself was a talented girl, and Cui Ying's father Cui Fang was born in a lifter, although it is said that there is no Zhongjinshi, but the identity of this lifter cannot be underestimated.
Not to mention the identity of Cui Fang, you can ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and what cannot be ignored is Cui Fang's connections!
Ordinary people, even if they can't be in the Jinshi, they can be regarded as scholars, 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', their social status ranks first, and they also have practical benefits. Because of the Song Dynasty's Chongwen, many policies will be convenient for these scholars, such as paying taxes can exempt a lot of miscellaneous items, even if the person itself has no property to pay taxes, there will generally be some shops or commercial houses will find a person to hang a name, give him some money every year, so that it is reasonable and legal to 'avoid taxes'.
It's a loss, and there's also networking.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, partisan struggle was a major feature, although the party struggle in the Zhenzong Dynasty was not as fierce as in the later Ouyang Xiu Sima Guang era, but at this time the sprout had already been planted.
Cui Fang was raised in the first year of Xianping, and most of the people who were in the Jinshi that year are now officials in the court, in ancient sayings, they are all 'the same year', although Cui Fang failed to be a Jinshi in the end, but he also got to know many people, such as one of them is called Chen Yaozuo, who is now serving as a transfer envoy in Zhejiang!
Chen Yaozuo and Cui Fang are said to have had a good relationship, and everyone knows the reason for this, in the same year...... Moreover, Chen Yaozuo also likes to recommend talents, and treats people who are weaker than himself very well, so his reputation in Shilin has always been very good.
It is said that this time Cui Fang held a birthday banquet, Chen Yaozuo will also come to cheer, with Chen Yaozuo joining, it will naturally make many scholars flock to it, plus Cui Ying's reputation as a talented woman is outside, so this time the Cui family will be very lively!
This is also the reason why Hongshang is worried, because no matter how lively the Cui family is, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Ye Heng now, because the Cui family doesn't look down on Ye Heng at all......
So the little girl cried, she seemed to see that Ye Heng was getting farther away from the identity of the scholar, and Ye Heng seemed to be interested in business now.
If Ye Heng knew what Hongshang was thinking, he would definitely cry and laugh.
Please, people are only fourteen years old now, and they are not demons, it is already a miracle to be able to do business, don't ask for so much, okay?
But Hongshang asked: "Young master, will you ...... in the future?" Are you going to be in business all the time? Although it is said, young master, you have a talent in this area, and now Fugui Restaurant has also succeeded, but ...... This is not what Madame expected at all! ”
"It's not what you expected, is it?"
Ye Heng shook his head, glanced at the red coat and said, "Why do you care so much about the Cui family's affairs?" ”
Hongshang reminded: "But, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, the first day of the new year, young master, the deadline for the last day is over......"
"What about the last day? Besides, before August, it's okay...... Don't talk about that! ”
Ye Heng was a little helpless, this girl, do you like to say this to a fourteen-year-old child so much?
Then Ye Heng was reluctant to speak anymore, Hongshang had a strong temperament, but he would not be temperamental to Ye Heng, so he had to boil water and prepare to wash his feet and sleep.
Early the next morning, Ye Heng and Hongshang went to the Fugui Restaurant.
On this day, the business of Fugui Restaurant was not bad, there were three families with a total of more than 20 tables of guests, and almost the entire Fugui Restaurant was contracted, and Ye Heng also called on Wang Weiyuan to come to Fugui Restaurant to help.
In the evening, most of the guests went back, and Ye Heng also called everyone to sit together, and then ate some snacks made by his own people, and took care of the drinks...... Of course, it is not a home-brewed rich wine, because the process of making this wine is very cumbersome, and now Ye Heng has not vigorously opened a workshop to brew it, so he drinks ordinary wine.
However, this rich wine is also famous now, there are many people who come to the restaurant every day to ask about the wine, Li Fugui is also going to distill the liquor as soon as he has free time these days, after the first time, he will be familiar with the road when he distills in the future, but now the rich wine will produce about one jar a day, and this one altar will be sold evenly.
But the good thing is that now Fugui Restaurant has begun to make a profit, starting from the day Nirvana Liquor started to cause a small sensation in Lin'an, and by the night at the end of July, the profit has exceeded more than 100 taels.
Of course, many of the more than 100 taels of silver are because of many novel 'dishes' invented by Ye Heng, plus Ye Heng has always told Li Fugui to remember to cook well, choose good raw materials, don't be afraid of high costs, and make a name for himself first!
When admiring the moon at night, it was actually a small celebration party held by this group of people centered on Ye Heng, and at the same time, on this night, Ye Heng announced a news to everyone.
That is, to use the profits of these few days to find a way to expand the production scale of Fugui liquor, for which ...... Ye Heng also asked Li Fugui to find a way to recruit some guys.
And for the selection of these guys, Ye Heng also has some very special requirements!
