Xu Yuanzuo stayed in Suzhou for ten days, and I don't know how many people are looking forward to his early departure.

The relationship between the official and the businessman, the businessman and the businessman, which was originally clearly visible, was mixed into a mess. Those who are willing to pay taxes, those who are willing to pay taxes conditionally, and those who are unwilling to pay taxes have become the three major camps of debate. However, in addition to paying taxes, there are some contradictions in their statements - there are many social irons that cannot be blasphemed.

When Xu Yuanzuo left Wu County, the visitors of "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" also came to Suzhou and began to interview these characters.

Xu Yuanzuo saw the new issue of "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" when he was in Huzhou. His editorial ideas have been carried forward by Wu Chengen, and more and more commentators' articles have appeared on the front pages. Wu Chengen, the helmsman of the Daming newspaper, obviously wants to transform and let entertainment give way to society, politics and economy.

"Lao Wu is really a wise man." Xu Yuanzuo closed the newspaper and sighed at Qi Miao.

Qi Miao knows words, and is naturally a reader of "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan", and is even more proud of this identity. He said: "It's better than when Lao Mei was there." He waited, and then said, "Even the number of pages is much more." ”

When the newspaper was first established, Xu Yuanzuo was very worried that there would not be enough manuscripts, so the number of pages was not much, and he had to copy "Journey to the West" to support the layout. Wu Chengen himself is a famous pen, and has set up permanent posts such as visitors and commentators, and the quantity and quality of manuscripts are like bamboo shoots in spring.

"Starting from the people of Suzhou, on the surface it looks like a joke, but in fact, it cleverly brings the businessman to the forefront." Xu Yuanzuo sighed: "This technique is really beautiful! ”

Qi Miao thought about it, and this is indeed the truth, and said: "But does this make people feel that the businessman is unscrupulous?" ”

"The businessman is unscrupulous, unscrupulous, shameless, do we still need to talk about this? Who doesn't think so? Xu Yuanzuo laughed: "Actually, you have to come out first." Let people know that there is such a group of people, and then they can be whitewashed. If it comes out with all kinds of halos, it will only provoke ridicule and hostility. ”

Qi Miao scratched her head and said, "What Zuo Ge'er said must have a point. ”

Xu Yuanzuo put away the newspaper and said, "You help me remember: when I return to Songjiang, I want to meet Sheyang Gong." Thank him in person. ”

Mei Chenggong didn't follow him, Qi Miao was an acting secretary. Although in terms of knowledge, the chess is not as successful as Mei, but in terms of intentions, it is even more chess.

It's just that Qi Miao is still young, and Xu Yuanzuo still wants to further tap his potential, so he didn't give him a definite position.

You can also save a salary.

In an era when transportation is not convenient, traveling around the world is a luxury and fun activity. There are many special diets in various places, because they cannot be kept fresh, and the transportation cost is too high. So it can only be tasted locally.

Although Xu Yuanzuo is not a foodie, the ingredients of Daming snacks are real, pure green and pollution-free, the condiments are light, and the natural taste of the ingredients is emphasized, which makes this outsider who does not admit that he is a foodie become a foodie in the eyes of others. It's really going to eat wherever you go, anyway, you don't have to worry about getting out of shape with enough exercise.

"What else is delicious in Huzhou?" Xu Yuanzuo asked Qimiao.

Investigating the cuisine of Huzhou Mansion is Qi Miao's recent work.

In this day and age. Xu Yuanzuo's investigation was limited to the county seat, and he would not go to the county under the prefecture if it were not for special reasons. Most of this particular reason is gastronomy. There are a few specialties worth seeing. Although Xu Yuanzuo is essentially conducting a business investigation, in the eyes of outsiders, he is indeed out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

"The county town is gone, and there is no food down there." Qi Miao already wants to go home, and it is very inconvenient to go out after all. Xu Yuanzuo doesn't mind the details of his life, but in Qi Miao's view, it is a very serious problem. Even the straw paper used could not satisfy him - when he was in Songjiang, Xu's family used Hangzhou's special "treasure money", and even Ouchi used this kind of straw paper. However, in Huzhou, Zhejiang, this kind of treasure money could not be bought. It's maddening!

Xu Yuanzuo saw through this guy's careful thinking at a glance, but he didn't bother to expose him, and said, "In that case, let's go meet Wang Siniang." ”

"Huh? Are you going again? Qi Miao's face became a little ugly.

"How?" Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Didn't you also say that she was beautiful?" ”

Wang Siniang is the stunning color that Xu Yuanzuo discovered when he wandered through the streets and alleys. Even a teenager like Qi Miao, who has not yet reached the age of knowing the lustful Mu Shaoai, was shocked and shocked by her beauty. Because of the raw silk shop opened by her family. In the next two days, Xu Yuanzuo went again, asked in the store for a long time, and asked if someone's husband was not at home.

What is the rhythm of this?

Even a pure and unenlightened teenager like Qi Miao knows this routine: it is the standard routine of a rich son seducing a married woman in popular novels! Isn't the next step to find a pious woman to open the door and use the five-character mantra of Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian to smash it?

"Zuo Ge'er......" Qimiao's face was embarrassed.

"How?" Xu Yuanzuo squinted.

"I heard that Wang Siniang's husband is back." Chess is wonderful.

Xu Yuanzuo frowned slightly and said, "So what?" ”

Qi Miao secretly took a breath: Yes, Zuo Ge'er has never been afraid of difficulties, he is willing to work hard, and he has a lot of money. How can you be afraid of a little person who sells silk?

"I'm going to get ready for my shoulder." Although Qi Miao was not happy, he still did his job.

Xu Yuanzuo felt that Qi Miao's emotions were weird, and it was about the elusiveness of young people's thoughts. He didn't spend much energy on this issue, and still thought about Wang Siniang's little silk shop.

Huzhou is the first signboard of raw silk in the world, which can be said to support the reputation of raw silk in Zhejiang. If Xu Yuanzuo is too late, he would rather give up his trip to Hangzhou and come to Huzhou to have a good look.

The reason why Wang's small shop was chosen is because Wang's raw silk store is a relatively rare business model in Huzhou.

The popular business model in the world is that rural women raise silkworms, reel silk, and sell them to traders who come to collect silk. These silk collectors often have a background in tooth shops, or are familiar with the prices of each tooth shop, and can sell these silks at a good price. The tooth guild would then sell the raw silk to seafarers, or to small shops, to make silk brocades.

Under this model, operators and producers are separated. But the Wang's small shop is one. In the silkworm breeding season, the fourth mother of the Wang family is responsible for raising silkworms, and her husband goes to buy mulberry leaves for his own use, and more can be resold to others. After the silk is collected, the Wang family man has to collect the silk from the countryside, and then he opens this door to sell silk.

The Wang family has been involved in the entire chain of the raw silk industry.

The family that did this was not the Wang family. But the Wang family has done the most successful.

The success lies in Siniang's sericulture link.

Raising silkworms and reeling silk is an industry that has existed since the time of the Yellow Emperor, and it can be said to be the basis for the beauty of Chinese uniforms. Today, the northern silk is not as good as the southern silk, because the silkworm species have changed, and the accumulation of sericulture technology in the south is also more developed.

In the southern silk, almost every family in the countryside has people raising silkworms, less than one piece of cloth, more than four or five pieces of cloth. Many families have also bred silkworm seeds that are suitable for the local area, which is more profitable.

There are very few silkworm keepers in the cities. Because the life of urban residents is less stressful. There is no need to raise silkworms, which is almost a layer of skin. The second is that the environment in the city is difficult to control, and silkworms are prone to disease. As a result, many women who have newly moved from the countryside to the towns, although they used to raise silkworms, soon gave up this livelihood and turned to the safe and equally productive textile industry.

In this era, Wang Siniang is simply an excellent woman in the nature of a model worker. Because the family heirloom sericulture technology is excellent. Not only did she raise silkworms in the city, but she also raised them well. Although the income is more than others in a year, it is limited. But it was enough to attract Xu Yuanzuo's attention.

Shoulders through the streets and alleys, and soon stopped in front of Wang's silk shop.

Several old women pointed at Xu Yuanzuo, obviously speculating a lot about the strange man who rashly broke into this closed society.

An old pious woman with a wiping forehead even pretended to come over, and shook off lightly: "Wang Laoshi is back." The implication of this is: if Wang Laoshi does not come back, she is willing to match.

Xu Yuanzuo pursed his lips and saw a man with an old face. He looked at him with a wary face.

"This is Wang Laoshi?" Xu Yuanzuo got off his shoulder, and he didn't need Qi Miao to set up a shelf for him first, so he stepped forward and asked directly.

Wang honestly took a step back, obviously in awe of this gentleman.

"It's my shopkeeper." Wang Siniang came out from behind, saw Xu Yuanzuo and hurriedly said, "My shopkeeper is not very good at talking. Don't blame each other. After that, he turned to Wang Laoshi and said, "This is the big high-roller from Songjiang, Xu Xianggong." ”

Wang Laoshi expects Ai Ai to stand in front of the Hun family, like a hen guarding her cubs. In his capacity, he is not qualified to salute Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo would not fall into the school's dignity and saluted a small vendor, stood straight at the door, and said, "I've been here twice, and I've finally waited until you come back." ”

When Wang Laoshi heard that Xu Xianggong was looking for him, he suddenly felt much more relaxed, and asked, "What is the matter with Xianggong looking for me?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo glanced at the eight women on the left and right, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward to separate a human wall between them.

Wang Laoshi looked at the stout and bloody old Zhejiang soldier, and his heart that had just been sent down was raised again.

"Let's go in and talk slowly." Xu Yuanzuo took a step forward. He was half a head taller than Wang Laoshi, and he was full of strength and magnificence, so that Wang Laoshi couldn't resist and retreated into the store.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the raw silk hanging on the two walls, some of which were already yellowed, but it was said that Haike did not care about the color of the raw silk, so it was very likely to be sold. He found a chair and sat down, and said to the Wang couple standing aside, "I want to ask for advice on how to do the business of raw silk." ”

The Xu family only concurrently operated the raw silk business, and the premium for changing hands did not really set up a silk shop. Otherwise, with the power of the Xu family, if they really want to get involved in the raw silk industry, the movement will definitely not be small.

Wang honestly said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Wang Siniang secretly pushed Wang Laoshiyi, and said generously: "Where does Xianggong want to ask?" ”

"Let's start with the silkworm farmer at the bottom." Xu Yuanzuo, the guest, sat and asked, and the two hosts stood to answer, but it seemed reasonable.

Wang Siniang said with a smile: "The silkworm breeder is a concubine. The world's raw silk is out of Zhejiang, and Zhejiang raw silk is out of Huzhou. The best raw silk in Huzhou is the Qili silk in my hometown. As he spoke, he was quite proud. She said: "In our countryside, every family, as long as there is a woman, we must raise silkworms. When a girl gets married, the dowry she brings is silkworm seeds. Therefore, there are good breeders, even if the girl is ugly, the person who proposes marriage will break the threshold. ”

It is very normal for working people to spontaneously breed and select seeds in the process of labor to increase their profits. Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "Your family has both good daughters and good seeds, and you must have broken the threshold by being proposed." ”

The fourth mother of the Wang family was a little embarrassed, but Wang Laoshi straightened his waist.

Wang Siniang also suspected that this husband had taken a fancy to her, but she didn't expect him to dare to tease her in front of her husband, restrain some good faces, and said: "When silkworms are raised and cocooned, there will be silk guests to collect silk." She pushed her husband and motioned for Wang to continue.

Wang honestly stood in front of his wife and said, "Yes, yes, the little one is a silk guest." Oh yes, let's talk about silk reeling first. Xianggong knows, right? When the silkworm cocoons are formed, it is necessary to seize the time, otherwise the silkworm moth bites the cocoon and is worthless. Some people don't know how to reel silk, so they have to sell it to the cocoon shop, but because there are too many cocoon rows and the public price is low, few people sell cocoons, and they all sell their own silk reeling and silk. ”

Xu Yuanzuo interjected: "What kind of flowers does the cocoon have?" ”

Wang honestly thought for a while and said, "Some say that the cocoon is too wet to press the weight, and some people close the door at the right time." ”

"Closed?"

"Ah, because the people who sell cocoons are afraid that silkworm moths will bite the cocoons, so they can only reduce the price and hope that the cocoons will be collected quickly." Wang said honestly.

Xu Yuanzuo frowned slightly: This festival is all shattered into powder!

"Our silk guests are directly reeling. Many silk guests also have to press their lives, because nine out of ten silkworm families want to borrow. The days when the raw silk comes out are counted, so as soon as the days are pressed, the silkworm family has to reduce the price if they want to repay their debts. Wang honestly talked about his own business, and was obviously much more confident, and even the unspoken rules, which seemed to him to be the open, were blunt.

Sure enough, he is an honest man!

Xu Yuanzuo smiled slightly.

Wang Laoshi felt that Xu Xianggong smiled delicately, and hurriedly explained: "I have never lowered the price and pressed the day, I am very honest, so Siniang took a fancy to me and said to my father-in-law......" Wang Siniang's face turned red, and she squeezed her husband hard: "Why are you talking about this, Xianggong doesn't like to listen to ......"

Wang Laoshi obviously doted on his wife, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, yes." "It's a living show of affection.

"What about after the silk?" Xu Yuanzuo asked again.

Wang said honestly: "Sell it to the silk shop, or sell it directly to customers from other places." It depends on the time, sometimes the silk line has the means to do things, and when it comes to the silk, the river checkpoint has to die, and no one is allowed to sell the silk, so it can only be sold to the silk line at the public price. Some people who are in charge of things are not tightly controlled, and they can be sold to other places. If you want to weave jacquard silk, the warp can only use the fat silk from our side, so if you can really sell it, the price is much better. ”

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the store and said secretly in his heart: It seems that you are not very honest!
