Chapter 13: Yao Zaofan

[13] Yao Zaofan

He Wannian looked at Yao Fan for a long time, and stumbled and said: "Brahman, tranquil, tranquil, Zhiyuan, hang the early sail and go to sea, and be quiet and far-reaching, it is really a good word." But...... The name of the firm is ......"

Yao Fan waved his hand and said lightly: "Brother He, our own family doesn't have to be a sycophant, anyway, it will either be called Wannian Firm, or Zaofan Firm." ”

He Wannian said embarrassedly: "Brother, I am a minority shareholder, and I never dare to occupy the name of the firm, but I think the name Zaofan is a bit ......."

Yao Fan didn't have any good feelings about the Qing Dynasty at all: "Otherwise, let's use the word morning sail first, and if it doesn't work, we'll change it later." ”

He Wannian saw that Yao Fan, the major shareholder, was stunned, and had no choice, so he had to agree with a bitter face, and said that this name could be ambiguous, but Yao Fan had just given himself a table word, and it was estimated that he was on the rise, so it was better to persuade him in a few days.

Yao Fan's ambitions had swelled after calculating that his goods were worth such a huge amount of silver.

He casually slapped his thigh with the silver ticket in his hand: "Brother Wannian, you also saw it yesterday when you opened the box and inspected the goods, this foreign watch is thanks to Lord Liu's concealment, so that it can negotiate a price with the foreigner's iron walnut." ”

He Wannian said: "I can see it, if this Lord Liu presses his hand and renegotiates the price according to the new goods, it will be the expense of two or three thousand taels of silver. ”

Yao Fan said: "You order 3,583 taels from me, and call two useful guys to send the 3,583 taels of tax silver calculated yesterday to the customs, and I also have 1,000 taels of silver tickets here, you make a confidant to send it to the customs Lord Liu's house, just saying that it is my filial piety." ”

He Wannian nodded and said, "This is the best, I will immediately order someone to do it." In the past few days since you left, how do you look at the three guys I hired in your store? ”

Yao Fan said: "What is the bottom line?" ”

He Wannian said: "The three are all natives of Jiaozhou. One is named Luo Guanqun, who is a talented man, who was originally taught in the Xixi of the Wang family here, but was once kicked out because he was drunk and scolded the fourth aunt of the main family Dong Weng. This person can be counted and write, and I think he can make an account. Of course, if Brother Yao has a confidential account, he must not do it for these people who have not yet been raised. ”

Seeing Yao Fan nodding, He Wannian continued: "The other two are the children of my He family, one is called He Shicheng and the other is Wang Chuannian. He Shicheng's ancestor and my grandfather are cousins, and Wang Chuannian's mother is my grandmother's goddaughter. Anyway, they are all distant relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles.

Brother Yao must not remember my face to them, they should be beaten and punished on weekdays, and they must be cleaned up decently. As for that Luo Guanqun is a scholar, he still has to give some face. ”

Yao Fan felt that He Wannian had considered him thoroughly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I wrote it down, I'm just about to go out now, so ask He Shicheng to follow me." ”

He Wannian said: "Okay, I should also go back to the pawnshop." ”

So Yao Fan said goodbye to He Wannian, called He Shicheng to join him, and went straight to Chunmian Hall.

That He Shicheng was only a half-grown child, with a small face and a thin braid, coiled around his neck, and he looked very smart.

He Shicheng drove a carriage out of the narrow carriage alley at the edge of the courtyard, the carriage of which was a boxy wooden cage with a wooden spire on it, and the front beam of the carriage was polished to a shiny finish, which looked like it had been used by the He family before.

Yao Fan didn't get into it either, he leaned in front of the car cage like the Qing Dynasty people on TV, and ordered: "Shicheng, go you!" Let's go to the Spring Sleep Hall. ”

He Shicheng bowed slightly to Yao Fan and said, "Yes!" Landlord. ”

As he spoke, he led the short cart horse all the way to the Spring Sleep Hall.

Yao Fan estimated that He Shicheng was definitely not more than fifteen years old, although he looked like he was used to doing things with his hands and feet, but his face that had not taken off his hair was immature.

"Shicheng, how old are you? Have you read a book? Parents at home? ”

He Shicheng strode and whistled skillfully on the side of the horse's head with his braids, but he was reluctant to hit the horse, obviously a good driver of the car.

"If I go back to the east, I am thirteen this year, I have read it for a year in my home school, and I can read the surname of the hundred families and the three-character scripture, and my father said that I can understand half a basket of big characters."

Yao Fan listened to his playfulness and said with a smile: "Your family He Wannian told me that you want you to follow me in the future, are you willing?" ”

He Shicheng walked strides, turned back half of his face, and smirked: "How can I not be happy about this, as soon as the second master came to my house and said it, my father was happy at that time." To say that the work in the city is much lighter than farming in the countryside, who doesn't want to come to the city. ”

Yao Fan said: "What did you Second Master He tell you about about your monthly salary?" ”

He Shicheng said: "If I go back to the owner, I'm not an apprentice, and the apprentice doesn't need to be paid." The second master told me, when the three-year apprenticeship is full, if you do a good job, you will give me a month's salary, you can rest assured, I learn quickly, I must do a good job. ”

Yao Fan didn't say anything, he was going to set the salary for his guy, but he was a little hesitant at the moment.

"He Wannian helped me carry out the exploitation thoroughly enough...... However, this He Shicheng is a member of his old He family, and no matter how distant his relatives are, he is closer than me, a person with a foreign surname...... I still have to buy people's hearts. ”

Since he had made up his mind to buy people's hearts, Yao Fan smiled and said to He Shicheng, who was leading the horse: "I see that you are quite clever, so let's do it, from now on, you will be my entourage while being an apprentice, and you will follow me when I go out, and give you ten taels of silver a month." ”

When He Wannian heard Yao Fan say this, he almost tripped himself under his feet, grabbed the horse's head, looked disbelieving, stopped and said to Yao Fan: "Boss, don't make fun of me, my second uncle's pawnshop, the best old accountant, only eight taels of silver a month!" ”

Yao Fan said quietly: "Hurry up and catch the car, don't be wordy on the street, you are about the same age as my brother, I feel close, besides, can the personal entourage be the same as the accountant?" In the future, if you meet a ruffian on the street, you will go to the top. ”

When He Shicheng heard this, he quickly turned his head and continued to pull the car, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will serve you well, just like my own father, although I am not old, but I can fight in the countryside, the black eggs and dog babies at the entrance of the village, they can't beat me." ”

Yao Fan smiled and said: "Don't blow it, if you really have to encounter something in the future, let's see if you have the ability." When I go back to the store, I will first give you thirty taels of wages for the first three months, and you can send them to your home, and honor your father and mother, so that they can live a good life. ”

He Shicheng heard Yao Fan say that he was bragging because he could fight, and he was aggrieved, and he just lowered his head and pulled the horse away when he wanted to speak in front of him, and said in his heart: "This owner is really authentic, and the second uncle helped me find a good errand and a good owner." Look at the owner, one day I will let the owner know that I am not afraid of fighting, I have strength. ”

Yao Fan knows that the hearts of people bought by money will be separated because of money, but now he has only this way.

Jiaozhou City is not large, except for the main road paved with stone strips, the rest are dirt roads.

After only a few moments, the squeaky wooden carriage came to the Chunmian Hall through the potholes of the loess pad. Yao Fan jumped out of the car as soon as he stood up, smoothed out the folds on his robe, pushed open the two black lacquered doors that were hidden, and walked inside.

"Third sister~~~! What about the third sister? Yao Fan stood in the front yard behind the door and said loudly.

Seeing that it was Yao Fan coming, the old bustard's mother came forward with a smiling face, and took a strange look: "Oh, isn't this Yao Ye, please go and sit in the private room inside." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and instructed the turtle beside her: "Hook, don't look at the tea yet." ”

Yao Fan waved his hand impatiently and said, "No, tell the third sister to clean up and come out, and I'll take her away." ”

As he spoke, Yao Fan took out the one thousand taels of silver ticket that had been prepared long ago from his sleeve pocket.

Wang's mother was full of smiles, and the fat on her face trembled unnaturally, as if even the white powder was about to tremble.

"Yao Ye, don't worry, sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Yao Fan felt that something was wrong, raised his head, and squinted at Wang Ma.

Seeing her unnatural expression, Yao Fan chuckled inexplicably in his heart.

"Mother Wang, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Something to talk about! What's wrong? In black and white, do you still plan to regret it? ”

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Wang Ma put on a look like a widower who couldn't pass the New Year's Pass by someone collecting debts and said: "Master Yao, don't hide it, third sister...... She's not with me now. ”

Yao Fan's heart sank, knowing that it was not good.

"You're fooling me, aren't you? Yes? Trick me? Believe it or not, I'm going to burn down your dirty kiln right now. ”

Wang Ma hurriedly said: "Yao Ye is angry, I am an old woman, I can run away from the monk and can't run the temple, can't I eat the bear's heart and the leopard's guts?" Why do you want to deceive Yao Ye? This is really a hurdle that I can't get over, and I can't help it! ”

As she spoke, this princess howled pretendedly, one bite at a time of my heart! Oh my life!

Yao Fan was angry and angry when he met such a shrew, he knew that this place must be a pit.

He forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, raised his hand and threatened: "Shut up!? Fucking howl again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu's big-eared scraper will slap you! Say! What the hell is going on! ”

Seeing that Yao Fan's eyes began to burn, and his face was as hideous as a gambler, the turtle man named Hook on the side hurriedly handed over the tea.

Yao Fan "snapped" and raised his hand to blow, shattering the tea bowl and spilling it all over the ground.

The hook shuddered and took two steps back.

When Wang Ma saw Yao Fan's murderous face, she was also scared, and immediately began to talk about what was going on.

He Shicheng, who was waiting outside the door, heard Yao Fan roaring inside, drew a handy stick from the carriage cage and rushed in, and when he saw Yao Fan standing there well, he held the stick, and the tiger stood next to Yao Fan, and sounded together.

It turned out that the day after Yao Fan left, Guo Jixiu, the uncle of the Guo family in Jimo County, who was known as Zhou, Huang, Lan, Yang, and Guo, came to Chunmian Hall and named the third sister to sleep.

According to Wang's mother's words, no matter how she stopped her, she told sΓΉ that the third sister had redeemed herself, but the uncle of the Guo family just didn't listen.

Wang Ma said: "Then Guo Jixiu, the uncle of the Guo family, said: 'Since Lan Shunzheng opened the buds for the third sister, why can't I sleep?' This time, I will take advantage of the fact that the flowers and bones are still fresh and not rotten, and I will meet this knowledgeable third sister and share the good of the same boots with the uncle of the Lan family. ’”
