Chapter 16: Liars
"Isn't it Guangning, it's worth shouting, if you get to the capital, you can't cry and grab the ground?" After a few days, Shen Qingyan became more and more casual, talking to Zhang Ke as if he were an ordinary friend.
Zhang Ke also enjoyed this relaxed feeling, and smiled: "Miss Shen, what is there to be happy about in Guangning, I am cheering for the first doujin." ”
"What is the first bucket of gold?" Shen Qingyan became interested in this new word.
"It's the first income from doing business, with money, you can make money, get richer and richer, sooner or later, one day, I'm going to live at your house!"
"I'm waiting for that day!" Shen Qingyan smiled brightly: "For the sake of your ambition, this girl mentions one or two, would you like to listen to it?" ”
"Of course, I listened to you."
"You bring these things and count the white wolf skin as the most valuable, although my family is made of medicinal herbs, but I have also heard that there are some nobles in the capital who like white skins. When you get to the market, don't sell it to the fur collectors, but wait for those who are dressed in silk and have a Beijing accent, and take it out, if you run into a big wrongdoer, you can slaughter one or two hundred taels! ”
This girl also has the potential of a black-hearted businessman! But it's a good idea, and no one is too much money anyway.
Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Miss Shen is smart, and the little ones have benefited a lot!" ”
As he spoke, the carriage was getting closer and closer to Quang Ninh, and the city gate was already in sight.
"Oh, there are so many people!"
It was the first time for Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu to go to such a prosperous place, and there were people everywhere outside the city gate, some carrying flat burdens, some pushing carts, and some driving carts, and they couldn't see the end at a glance. After waiting for half an hour, their carriage slowly entered Quang Ninh City with the flow of people.
When he arrived in the city, Qiao Fu's eyes were not enough to see, and the streets of Qingshi were lined with wine, rice and tea shops, row upon row, and there was no end in sight. The shouts came and went, and it sounded like music. The guys greeted and sent them warmly, and the children laughed and shuttled through it, a prosperous scene.
"Brother Ke, take a look, Guangning is much more lively than Rebel Prefecture!"
Zhang Ke also poked his head out, and sure enough, the street was full of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, and it was more lively than in later generations.
"Don't patronize and watch the excitement, let's go to Tiantai Pharmacy first and settle Miss Shen."
"Hmm!" Qiao Fu nodded.
Sitting in the carriage again, Zhang Ke stretched his waist and smiled easily: "Miss Shen, I finally arrived safely, but I have unloaded a thousand catties!" ”
Burden!
Sure enough, I was a burden in his eyes, and Shen Qingyan was annoyed for no reason.
"Yes, hurry up and take your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge."
How is the tone not good, the beauty is good at everything, but she is moody!
Zhang Ke didn't have much experience in dealing with women, he could only sit with a bitter face, and the carriage followed the flow of people, getting closer and closer to the Shen family's Tiantai Pharmacy.
Zhang Ke suddenly whispered: "Miss Shen, when you are leaving, there is a heartfelt word, I don't know if you can listen to it?" ”
"Say, do you have anything else you don't dare to say?"
"Miss Shen, the water in Liaodong is too deep, and now the imperial court has just failed miserably, so your family should change careers as soon as possible, so as not to get involved."
When it came to business, Shen Qingyan's face also became solemn, and she also knew that business had not been doing well recently. But there is still a hint of luck.
"Our medicinal materials are supplied to the princes and ministers, to the palace, and the whole world is theirs, is it wrong to do things for them?"
Zhang Ke shook his head: "Miss Shen, you're welcome, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are the footcloths of officials, and they will be thrown away after they are used." Immortals fight mortals, Liaodong defeats, you must be held responsible. Compared with the eunuchs of the inner court, the great officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the border generals in charge of military power, compared with these people, merchants are the least valuable, and they are also the easiest to use as scapegoats. How was Shen Wansan back then, didn't he still be able to escape the fate of dying in a foreign country? ”
Shen Qingyan has been helping his family handle business since he was a child, and his knowledge is naturally extraordinary. Zhang Ke's sentences hit the nail on the head, saying that she was cold from the inside of her bones, cold outside, and even colder in her heart!
It seems to be full of flowers and cooking oil, but if there is a slight change in the court, it will be crushed. This cup of wine in the court is not delicious!
Shen Qingyan pondered for a long time, and asked with a puzzled face: "Are you really a poor boy, how can you see the affairs of the court so clearly?" ”
"Hahaha, Miss Shen, you should be able to think that I have the ability of Zhuge Wuhou, and you can predict the prophet."
Shen Qingyan chuckled: "I said that you were fat and gasped, but I don't know when Mr. Wolong will soar into the sky?" ”
"Right in front of you."
The carriage stopped, and Zhang Ke jumped out of the car with a smile.
"Miss Shen, this is Tiantai Pharmacy, complete the task and leave."
When Shen Qingyan heard these three words, her expression suddenly darkened, and in just three days, the young man had carved a deep imprint in her heart. Brave and resolute, wise and cunning, completely different from the people she has met in the past, a strange attraction, she is reluctant to let go.
"Let's have a cup of tea in the shop."
"No, Miss Shen, I'm still in debt, so I'm going to sell my things quickly."
"That's right, that's right, I'll let the counter calculate the salary, and you deserve it." Shen Qingyan said anxiously, with a strong expectation in his eyes.
Zhang Ke smiled slightly, walked in front of the horse that Qiao Fu was riding, and pulled the reins.
"Miss Shen, this horse is even a salary, we will have a period later!"
After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he led the horse and took the Qiao brothers away, Shen Qingyan pouted, watching Zhang Ke's back gradually disappear, before he stomped his feet and turned around and entered the pharmacy.
……
"A few guest officers, our Yang family's pig's trotters are a must in Guangning, friends from the south and north have to taste it, the aroma is rich, the color is jujube red, the meat is snow-white, the skin is ripe and tender, salty and palatable, oily but not greasy. After eating our pig's trotters, keeping you is a source of wealth, smooth sailing, and all the best! ”
The young man exaggerated his business, and a plate of jujube red pig's trotters was sent to Zhang Ke. The rich aroma penetrates the nostrils and stimulates the sensitive taste buds.
Before Zhang Ke stretched out his hand, Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu grabbed them, devoured them, and ate with their mouths full of oil.
"Brother Ke, that's great."
Zhang Ke's stomach also growled, the three brothers gobbled up, the wind swept away, and they wiped out more than a dozen pig's trotters, Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu were still unsatisfied, and one of them ate five flatbreads.
The guests in the small shop couldn't help but look sideways, and came out with two rice buckets, and Zhang Ke blushed.
"Man, are there any cheap inns that don't have any?"
The young man looked embarrassed: "Guest officer, it's the first time you've been to Quang Ninh, right?" ”
"That's right."
"That's it, Quang Ninh Horse Market twice a month, from the first day to the fifth day of the new year, from the sixteenth to the twentieth, every time the market opens, the rooms are booked three or five days in advance. Tomorrow will be sixteen, not to mention the cheap ones at this time, but I am afraid that if you are willing to pay, you may not be able to find a house. ”
The young man pointed to the opposite side and said, "See, the old merchant store diagonally opposite was full three days ago." ”
When Zhang Ke heard this, he hurriedly stood up, Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu also hurriedly got up, and the brother left the shop and hurriedly looked for a house.
"Do you have any rooms?"
"It's long gone."
"There are rooms ......"
"It's gone, it's gone."
……
"Man, is there a room?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ke, who was almost about to collapse, heard this, grabbed the life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "How many are there and how much is it?" ”
"Hehe, there is also a firewood room, two hundred wen a night, five days rent."
"Crazy!"
Qiao Fu screamed: "A broken firewood house, it costs one or two silver to live in for five days, why don't you go and rob the money?" ”
The guy smiled proudly: "At this time, at this price, if you don't live, there will be someone else immediately." ”
Before the words landed, a little old man in a cotton robe ran over panting.
"Do you have a room?"
"There's a firewood room!"
"Okay, I'll stay."
"You're inside please!" The guy was enthusiastic to help move things.
The little old man glanced at Zhang Ke and them, and said with a smile: "The firewood room is good, and there is only a thatched house left in the inn over there!" ”
The well-fed Qiao Fu almost threw up, and he sat lazily on the ground.
"Brother Ke, big brother, I can't walk anymore, I can't hide it, I've been riding a horse for the past two days, my crotch has been worn out, and if I go on, I have to become a eunuch."
Zhang Ke is also frowning, in the winter, you can't sleep on the streets.
"You can find a place to rest first, and we will continue to look for a house."
Zhang Ke left the things to Qiao Fu, and he and Qiao Gui continued to look for them, but the more people left, the more people came, and it was full everywhere, and they ran for more than an hour and found nothing.
"Zhang Ke, I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
"If you have an idea, let's talk about it."
"Let's go to Tiantai Pharmacy! Miss Shen will definitely be able to find a house, but no, let's just lay on the floor and endure the night. ”
When Zhang Ke heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Let's be a man, go and ask for a girl, I'm afraid it won't look good!" ”
"Then do you say that face is important, or is the house important?"
"Freeze to death at the windward station, starve to death and walk shyly. So...... We don't want to freeze to death and starve to death, let's go to Tiantai! ”
Zhang Ke quickly succumbed to reality, and the two of them hurried back to find Qiao Fu. Far away, I saw Qiao Fu walking around, looking around.
"Brother Ke, you can be regarded as back. It's a good thing to tell you, I've met a nobleman! ”
"Second brother, what nobleman, what about our things?"
"Hehe, this noble man is a rich man, and he has a large house, which is dedicated to doing good deeds, and when he saw me sitting here alone, he invited me to live in his house. I said there were two more people, and this one was very generous, and said that ten more people could stay. He also promised to help us sell leather stoves, do you say that you have good luck! ”
The more Zhang Ke listened, the more frowning he became, this thing doesn't sound reliable!
"Where's the stuff, what about ours?"
"I'll leave it at his house first, waiting for you!"
Zhang Ke's face suddenly turned pale, and he grabbed Qiao Fu's arm: "Quick, take us there, it's too late to be in trouble!" ”
"Brother Ke, what's the matter, what's going on?"
Zhang Ke forcibly suppressed his anger, "Silly brother, you have been deceived, how many people have nowhere to live, why did they find you!" Besides, how can you put something in someone else's house, we bought it with our lives! ”
Qiao Gui also felt that something was wrong, and his head was sweating in a fit of anger, and he kicked Qiao Fu hard.
"Second brother, don't take us to find it, if you lose something, see if I don't kill you!"
