534 Fun with the soldiers
After talking about cooperation, there was a private transaction again, and there was no secret wit in talking, Liu Yuan and Jin Qiaoqiao chatted casually for a while, and this special dinner was over, but Jin Qiaoqiao insisted on paying the bill, which made the macho Liu Yuan a little unaccustomed.
"General Liu, the matter of the slave family, please leave it to you." Jin Qiaoqiao said with a smile on her face.
"Well, thank you for the generosity of the shopkeeper."
The two smiled, and the two waved goodbye at the door of the restaurant, Jin Qiaoqiao returned to Jin Supreme, and Liu Yuan returned to the Jin Yu family.
"Young master, how do you associate with that kind of woman?" Dai Qisi lowered her voice and said: "There are rumors in the market that the reputation of the golden shopkeeper is very bad, and he will do whatever it takes to get to the top, and it is said that he is entangled with his deceased Elder Jin, which is really shameless, and he is also our enemy." ”
As soon as Liu Yuan came back, Dai Qisi immediately began to talk about Jin Qiaoqiao, for fear that Liu Yuan would be careless and be seduced and confused by Jin Qiaoqiao, it can be said that Jin Qiaoqiao is the public enemy of the women on the whole street, it is because of her existence, it seems that other women's limelight has been stolen by them, disdain and contempt on the surface, and secretly a little jealous, it is said that because of Jin Qiaoqiao's existence, many little ladies and daughters-in-law do not bring their own men when they go to Jin Supreme to buy jewelry, for fear that his soul will be taken away by her.
Of course, there are also many women who take the opportunity to buy jewelry and ask her for breast enlargement techniques
"In this world, there are no eternal allies, and there are no eternal enemies, as long as it is advantageous, she is now sending silver to my pocket, and there is no reason to refuse." Liu Yuan said proudly.
Delcision was surprised and said, "She gave us silver?" No way? ”
"She wants to advertise in Chang'an newspapers and magazines, how can she not send me silver?"
"Young Master, do you agree?"
"Who would refuse if they had silver?"
Dai Qisi said anxiously: "Young Master, you, how can you agree, now the Golden Supreme has suppressed our Golden Jade Family." Wouldn't our business be worse if we advertise them now? You can't take this money. ”
The Jin Yu family just has advertisements, or advertises on a regular basis, so it is still at a disadvantage in the competition with Jin Supreme, and now advertising Jin Supreme, isn't it self-defeating? Dai Qisi wanted to scold Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Hey, Dai Qisi, you watch carefully, watch patiently, and you will know the Tao when the time comes." Everything is two-sided, it's not good to be famous, as for that Jin Qiaoqiao, he is indeed very capable, if he controls it well. That's definitely a good guy, you just have to wait to see the show. Any fortress. It's the easiest to attack from the inside. ”
Jin Supreme is indeed professional enough, the Jin family does not do anything, only focuses on making jewelry, although it is a big family, but it does not open a branch, and it also opened a store in Chang'an, the capital. This makes them more and more refined and better, not only recognized as the leading boss in the industry, but also among the dignitaries. It is like a towering tree, with deep roots and lush leaves, regardless of the wind and rain, it still does not move, although Liu Yuan said that he used a lot of methods, although it has an effect, it just can't defeat it.
The most obvious is the copycat wind, which made Jin Supreme anxious, but the Jin family moved around, and the most stubborn survived the crisis, and his status as the boss of the industry was unwavering.
However, their vision is very short-sighted, in order to keep the name of Jin Supreme, only set up a shop, and make a lot of money, but there are more people, and there will naturally be less, so many men, but they pushed out a divorced woman to be the shopkeeper, and then one by one in the back to do rice borers, Jin Qiaoqiao did more, but less shared, a dignified Jin Supreme's shopkeeper, for three hundred taels of tempted, it can be seen that she is on the surface of the Jin family, but in fact, she is not very happy.
Inadvertently, the Golden Supreme had exposed its seven inches.
"Oh, Daisy listens to the young master." Although Dai Qisi didn't know what Liu Yuan was doing, she was relieved to see him with a confident smile.
Liu Yuan looked at the sky, the sun was setting, the sky was full of sunset, and another day was about to go in, this time passed so fast, it was not wrong to use time like an arrow as a metaphor.
Calculate the cost last night, slept a lazy night, entered the palace, met Gong Sheng halfway, and then instructed the apprentice, just wanted to go to the barracks, then Jin Qiaoqiao sent an invitation again, just like that, it was delayed for a day, and yesterday I also told Zhao Fu and Guan Sheng that I would be late today, and now it's okay, not only late, it's simply absent.
"How fast the time flies." Liu Yuan shook his head and said.
Dai Qisi nodded and said, "It is estimated that in another two quarters of an hour, this place will be closed, young master, Dai Qisi will go home with you." ”
"Home?"
"That's right, the city is closed, and it won't be long before the door has to be closed."
Liu Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to the barracks, I haven't been there today." ”
"Young master, the city gate is about to be closed, you still go to the barracks, how can you enter the city then? The city gate is no better than the palace gate, even if you have a special pass, it's useless. Dexterity reminded anxiously.
"Don't go back" Liu Yuan turned his head and said to Dai Qisi: "You go back and tell Xiaoniang and Du Sanniang that I won't go back tonight, let them not wait for me, by the way, close the doors and windows." ”
Although Dai Qisi was a little reluctant, she still responded very well-behaved.
After a few more confessions, Liu Yuan took the wild wolf and the blood knife, and stopped taking the carriage, and rode straight out of the city
The taxes in Datang are light, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but there is one thing that is relatively poor, that is, military service.
The Tang Dynasty mainly implemented the government military system, soldiers need to bring their own armor, horses and mules to be soldiers, and food and drink also need to take care of themselves, usually rely on capture or officers' rewards, but this is not reflected in the Yangwei army, the worst soldiers, there are two taels of silver per month as a salary, in addition, the armor is uniformly distributed, and even the food is packaged, so the morale has been very high.
"Hurry up, hurry up, after a while, those turtle grandsons will start scolding their mothers again, all of them are starving ghosts reincarnated, last time the meat buns came out of the pot a little slower, and I almost wanted to beat people." Lao Jin in the room commanded his subordinates loudly.
Lao Jin is the fire chief of the house under the Liu Department of the Yangwei Army, with more than ten people under his command, plus more than ten cooks who wash vegetables and wash dishes, he is also a petty official, and he is still very satisfied with this job. Not to mention anything else, just the food made him smile, every day is fish and meat, you don't have to spend a penny by yourself, eat with your belly open, less than a month, the meat has grown a circle, and there is a subsidy of one or two silver a month, where to find such a beauty difference in the army. I love this job, and I naturally work hard.
General Liu said that soldiers train hard and must eat well, so they have never dared to slack off.
One of his subordinates named Fat Head smiled and said, "Fire Chief." It's not their fault that they trained to the death one by one. It never stopped. At noon, I brought them hot water, and when I saw that someone accidentally made a hole, the blood was pouring out, good fellow, I bandaged it and immediately trained again. That's ruthless. ”
"I can't do it if I stand there every day, like a corpse."
A slightly thin guy said with some concern: "Huo Chang, I heard that General Liu Yuan will eliminate hundreds of people in a few days. In the future, the number of people will be reduced to less than half, and our gang will be idle in the future, and you say that when the time comes, will we also reduce the number of our gang leaders, after all, there will be no need for so many people at that time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, if you don't want it here, then you have to go back to the original room, not only do you have no money, but you also have to take food.
Lao Jin shook his head and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" Forget it, just do your part. ”
Everyone hurriedly said yes.
It was a cook who said in a loud voice, "Chief, you see, they have come to eat." ”
"Quick, everyone is in place, move quickly, fat head, look at the meat buns, don't let those guys take more, if they take more, we won't have to eat." The fire chief hurriedly commanded.
Every time the exercise, the room is like a big enemy, those hungry soldiers slow down to scold the mother, one by one starving ghosts reincarnated, although the steamed buns are enough, but the fragrant meat buns are limited to two per person, there are greedy soldiers will take one or two more, and the people behind are not, so they have to lose their temper, so they have to be strictly guarded.
What is strange is that after today's exercise, those rude big-headed soldiers, one by one, suddenly became polite, in the surprised eyes of a group of soldiers, lined up one by one, took bowls and served dishes, it seemed orderly, not only did not fight, those who usually have to fight for food, rare and humble.
Have you fallen for the evil spirit?
Soon, the fat man who was in charge of distributing the meat buns knew why he was so abnormal today:
"Your bun, next." The fat man used to grab two buns and put them in the big bowl in front of him, and while shouting, he turned around and grabbed two big meat buns to send to the next person.
Unexpectedly, the man took the bun and didn't leave, he ate it next to him, and asked while eating: "This bun tastes good, how many buns do you want to make every day?" ”
"Go aside, just have to eat, ask so much" After scolding half of the fat head, he couldn't scold anymore, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly knelt down and said: "General, the villain doesn't know that it is you, please forgive me." ”
The fat man never dreamed that the person standing in front of him was Liu Yuan, the general of Yangwei, didn't he go home to eat every day?
Besides, the officers above Wu Zheng all have small stoves, why did they come here?
Looking up, Zhao Fu, the captain of the pro-soldiers, Guan Yong, the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie, Chi Baoqing, the captain of the imperial insult, and others all followed Liu Yuan's side, looking at themselves with interest one by one, what day is today, why are these officials, all of them come here?
"Looking for death" Lao Jin knocked on the fat head, and said angrily: "Blind your dog eyes, how can you talk to the general." ”
After speaking, Lao Jin saluted and said to Liu Yuan: "General, Zhao Fat, he has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he offended the general, and the little one must clean him up fiercely." ”
"Don't be afraid, relax a little" Seeing that they were all frightened, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly comforted them and said: "It's also so casual to ask, chat and talk about yourself, where can you say offensive?" Ben wouldn't be so unkind, would he? ”
"No, no." The fat head and the fire chief hurriedly said, and the head shook into a rattle.
Zhao Fu said on the side: "Look at your bear-like, don't worry, it's okay, our General Liu has the best time to get along, today he said that he would raid the food to see if you are doing well?" Did you cut corners, I think last year in Tibet, the general ate and lived with us, don't make a fuss. ”
Lao Jin hurriedly denied: "No, no, General Mingjian, the small one will never dare to deduct a penny, if a grain is deducted, the small one is willing to be dealt with by military law." ”
The soup is thick and the porridge is thick, the Hu cakes are crispy and sweet, and the buns are full of fritters, and at a glance, you can see that this room is doing well, Liu Yuan comforted him and said: "Just do your part, he is joking, don't take it to heart." ”
"Yes, yes."
Liu Yuan smiled and said to the fat man who was sweating: "Don't be nervous, this bun is very good, did you make it?" ”
"Back to the general's words, it was done by a villain, before he became a soldier, he opened a bun shop, and he did it with my father since he was a child, and he has been doing it for seven or eight years, so it's okay."
"What's your name?"
"Fat head, ah no, the little one is called Qiu Kuan." As soon as he was nervous, the fat man took his nickname as his name, which caused everyone to laugh.
"Yes, the heart is wide and the body is fat, this name is good." Liu Yuan was also happy. (To be continued......)
