The eyelids are dead, the boat can't hold on, go to sleep first!

Bow down, take my little egg yolk, and thank you to the uncles and uncles who have always supported the boat!

~~~~~~

Night has quietly fallen, and fine snow has fallen in the sky, but in the temporary station of the Caishi Army, three miles west of Jinan City, it is brightly lit and busy!

Luxurious carriages, accompanied by many servants and family members, gathered outside the camp of the Caishi Army!

At this time, although the weather was extremely cold, these gentry and dignitaries, all of whom were dressed in silk and satin, and had delicate bodies, were not affected by this cold weather at all.

"Yo~~! Isn't this Lao Cai? Hehe? You, do you have an invitation from Grandpa Guo? How? Today, dare to come and join in the fun? ”

At this time, a big fat man with a height of less than 1.6 meters and a waist circumference of almost 1.6 meters, with a body like a ball, walked into the crowd with a smile and sneered at a wealthy businessman with a thin body and sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

"Yo! Master Ma, I haven't seen you for a while! My brother has given you a gift! ”

"Hey, my master, my brother! Brother, I thought you had forgotten the hour and was about to send someone to urge you! ”

“…………”

Seeing that it was this fat man, the nobles around them stepped forward one after another, bowed their heads and bowed their waists, and greeted respectfully!

"Huh! Grandpa Guo's banquet, even if my old horse forgets his father, he must not forget the time of Grandpa Guo! Otherwise, if my master knows about it, he will have to skin my old horse alive! This fat man mentioned the name of Grandpa Liu Ruyi, and hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully in the direction of the camp, and then smiled at everyone, with a lofty demeanor, obviously, in his opinion, everyone's respectful attitude seems to be taken for granted!

"Master Ma is angry! Who doesn't know that our Mrs. Chun can't live without your jade bird's nest porridge every day! If we want to have the luck of Ma Ye, it's hard to get rich or not! As long as Mrs. Chun is happy, the color stone firm will show a grain of rice casually, which is enough for us to work hard for a year! ”

"That's it! Ma Ye is mighty! I heard that our little master is now in love with your craft! If you don't eat the dishes you cooked, the little master won't be able to sleep well! ”

“…………”

"Huh! All the nobles have loved, where does my old horse have any great ability, it is the cooking skills handed down from the ancestors, hehe! I can't bear it, Mrs. Chun is my old horse's fellow countryman, and she loves to eat my old horse's craft! Ah! It's all blessed by the Bodhisattva! In a few months, it will be the birthday of our little master, and my old horse has to sum it up well, what gifts should I give to our little ancestors! The fat man proudly stroked a few faint long whiskers on his lips, and his pride was indescribable!

This fat horse, whose real name is Ma Deqiang, was born in Caishi Town, and his ancestors were cooks, so he learned a cook's craft!

At first, he set up a small stall in Caishi Town, making wonton dumplings for a living, although the business can make a living, but it will definitely not be on the big stage!

It's just that this Ma Deqiang, whose hometown is from Yangzhou, Nanjing, is a crystal wonton, and he made it superbly!

But she couldn't bear it, Liu Ruyi's favorite concubine Chun Yunu, who was also from Yangzhou, couldn't eat anything during her pregnancy, so she wanted to eat crystal wontons from her hometown.

The General's Mansion, no, it should be called the descendants of the Guogong Mansion now, looking everywhere at the moment, but almost all over Jinan City, Linqing City, and Jining City, but still can't find anyone with such craftsmanship.

When Ma Deqiang learned the news, he broke his courage and volunteered to go to the Guogong Mansion, ready to fight for a future!

It's a pity that the first time he entered the Guogong Mansion, Ma Deqiang was almost scared to pee his pants, although the craftsmanship was still there, but he only played at a fifty percent level!

But who would have thought that Chun Yunu had not eaten the dishes of his hometown for many years, and for the first time he tasted Ma Deqiang's craftsmanship, he actually ate a whole bowl.

As the first pregnant favorite concubine of the Guogong Mansion, the old lady Zou was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Ma Deqiang with one hundred taels of silver, and ordered Ma Deqiang to continue to make some for the ladies in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion to taste.

Ma Deqiang is from Yangzhou, Zou is from Suzhou, Xiao Zixin is from Jining, and Dong Xiaowan is also from Suzhou, almost no one rejects Ma Deqiang's craftsmanship!

It was at this moment that Ma Deqiang's wonton stall instantly became popular in Caishi Town, and soon spread to Jinan, Jining, Linqing and other surrounding areas!

Joke! The old lady thinks it's good, and the ladies think it's good, so what kind of 'crystal wonton' is it, it must be a rare good thing!

And Ma Deqiang is also very business-minded, using the Zou family to reward him with one hundred taels of silver, quickly expanded his business shop, shotguns for guns, and in more than a year, he quickly became a catering predator in Shandong, which can be described as an overnight rich.

However, Ma Deqiang was not carried away by the huge surprise, but carefully studied Yangzhou cuisine, and his skills became more and more proficient, and the business became more and more prosperous!

Up to now, Ma Deqiang can account for thirty percent of the food and drink dishes in the Guogong Mansion!

Although his essence is still a cook, he can't bear it, and the people who serve him are awesome! In Shandong, it seems that he is already the first chef, a fighter among chefs!

Now, even if many dignitaries want to go to his store to eat a table of pure Yangzhou cuisine, they have to make a reservation first, and see if he is in a good mood!

At this time, the thin old Cai sneered disdainfully, "Old Ma, don't be too proud!" Your Yangzhou cuisine, in my Shandong, is a foreign cuisine! Our grandfather, that's an authentic Shandong person! Let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see! ”

"Oops! Lao Cai! Don't scare me! Grandpa Guo, his old man, has a lot of opportunities, how can he have the time to go to your small shop? You want to fight with me, hum, in the next life! ”

Peers are enemies.

Lao Cai is an authentic local chef in Shandong, but he is a land-sitting household in Jinan City, and he has not caught up with the opportunity for the development of Caishi Town.

Seeing that the two of them were pinched again in public, the magnates retreated to both sides, not daring to interject, for fear of harming the pond fish!

In Caishi Town, in Jinan City, in the whole Shandong, after Liu Ruyi's efforts over the years, the economic level has made a huge leap!

In this land, people now pay little attention to their background, and pay the most attention to ability and strength!

If you have the ability, you can make money, you can make a lot of money, this is really the ability!

Even if you dig up dung, if you can dig up all the dung in Caishi Town and Jinan City, then you are a human being!

Even if you are the king of Germany, if there is anything, you have to discuss it quietly!

After all, most of the fertilizer in the land depends on these seemingly most inconspicuous things!

And Liu Ruyi has always been acquiesced in the competition in these business fields! No interference, but no deaf ears!

Liu Ruyi has always held a supportive attitude towards reasonable competition, but if he uses unscrupulous means to maliciously dominate the market, the gold mine of the Caishi Army has already reserved a place for them!

The historical experience of later generations has shown that the market economy will be an unstoppable torrent!

In later generations, those large companies that have truly inherited for a hundred years or even hundreds of years are selected by the market and consumers under the huge wave of market economy, and finally survive and achieve great success!

Although the land of Shandong has been looted and looted by the Qing soldiers, from the overall situation, it has not been greatly affected!

And there are a lot of rich gentry and giants, and their influence on the overall capital is not too bad!

And with the rise of Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army, the gentry and giants from all over Shandong have also deeply felt the strong strength of this shareholder style!

At present, their business is not only limited to Shandong, but also includes Gyeonggi, Central Plains, Huguang, Nanjing, Liangguang, and even Nanyang and Japan.

Accompanied by the triumphant song of the Caishi Army, their business field also followed the footsteps of the Caishi Army, and penetrated in all directions of the Ming Dynasty.

From fertile land to clothes and jewelry, the whole of Shandong is in a great era of economic blowout!

And Ma Deqiang, by virtue of his identity as a chef, became the vice president of the Lushang Alliance in Caishi Town, and became a legend!

"Huh! Ma Fat, Cai Monkey, you two, don't look at what kind of place this is? How dare you die here? At this time, Zhang Laocai walked into the crowd with a big belly and a smile.

"Yo! Hello Zhang Ye! ”

"I've seen Zhang Ye!"

The surrounding people saluted Zhang Laocai.

And Ma Fatzi and Cai Monkey didn't dare to pinch anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhang Laocai.

It's just that although Ma Deqiang's identity does not dare to compare with a local tyrant like Zhang Laocai, he can also talk to him, and said to Zhang Laocai with a smile: "Master Zhang, it's not that my old horse wants to fight him to the death!" It's really annoying that Cai Monkey picks up the thorns of my old horse every day! ”

Zhang Laocai couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, "Okay, Lao Ma, your little bit of caution, can Lao Tzu know what to do?" However, between peers, normal competition is okay! Don't have any bad intentions! Grandpa Guo has repeatedly emphasized that in the business field, you must compete fairly, and you have to think about it fairly! Ye has been busy with Grandpa Guo's military affairs in Anton Wei recently, and his time in Jinan City is short, you rabbit cubs, but don't make trouble for Lao Tzu! Otherwise, no one will be able to save you! ”

"Yes! Be! Master Zhang, yours are so right! Fair competition, fair competition! My old horse is to use his skills to beat Cai Monkey down! Hey! Ma Fatzi dared to talk back to Cai Monkey, but he really didn't dare to be reckless with Zhang Laocai, the henchman of the country's grandfather, so he nodded and said yes!

Zhang Laocai nodded, and bowed his hand to everyone again, and before coming to the camp, he arched his hand to the military man guarding the door and said, "This military master, the hour is almost there, right?" Why haven't you opened the camp gates? ”

Although the soldiers guarding the gate are recruits, the status of the soldiers in Caishi Town, and even in Shandong, is extremely high, even if they are giants like Zhang Laocai, they have to talk to them carefully!

The soldier guarding the door hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhang Laocai, "Master Zhang, please stay less!" There is no news from the camp yet! Then go to the camp and ask! ”

"Huh! There's Brother Law! My Lao Zhang and my colleagues, just wait here! Zhang Laocai smiled and bowed his hand to the gatekeeper!
