Chapter 133 - Disputes among Suppliers at the Trading Point (5)
Not long after the morning sun illuminated the window, Zhang Shijie woke up from his dream. This has been his habit for many years. At this time, Yang Shufei was still sleeping soundly next to Zhang Shijie, and the quiet sleeping posture made Zhang Shijie fascinated and uneasy at the same time, and couldn't help but gently stretch out her hand to test Yang Shufei's nose. A slight even breathing was felt. Zhang Shijie couldn't help but smile on his face.
After getting dressed and carrying a small pot, I walked out of the house, and saw the nanny of the Minister of Agriculture on the gravel road walking in the same direction. After continuing to walk forward, Meng Shixian, director of the Machinery Department of the Ministry of Households, walked back with a milk pot. When he saw Zhang Shijie, he smiled at him.
Zhang Shijie beckoned to Meng Shixian. Keep moving forward. Then I suddenly remembered that Meng Shixian and Sun Qing, the head of the household department, both attended the meeting hosted by the Zhao official family yesterday, but I don't know what they said to the official family after Zheng Jie and Zhang Shijie left. At this time, the two had already staggered, and Zhang Shijie remembered that someone said that Zhao Guanjia intended to establish the Ministry of Industry after establishing the Ministry of Agriculture. If this is the case, the director of this mechanical hall may become the minister of industry in the blink of an eye. The people living in this community are all at the level of Shangshu ministers, and Zhang Shijie also retired from the position of commander of the forbidden army, so he is at the level of a privy deputy envoy. Meng Shixian was able to live in this community, which seemed to mean something faintly.
But no matter what level of people live in this community, there are not many milk sellers. Milk also has an expiration date, and the quality of the milk is considered to be the best for a fixed period of time before leaving the community. Zhang Shijie once asked the milk seller that he would dispose of the unsold milk after he left. The reply said that he would go to other communities in the future, and there would be regular customers there. Milk will sell out quickly.
After beating the milk, Zhang Shijie thought about whether he should go to find a nanny. Nowadays, the imperial court also provides nannies and waiters to everyone, but many people have their own resistance to this kind of recommendation from the imperial court. It is easy to think about who the nanny and waiter are loyal to. Before I could figure it out, I was already back at home.
Before departure, it has been replaced with new honeycomb coal, and the coal furnace damper has been opened. When I opened the kettle on it, I saw that a blue flame had appeared on the top of the honeycomb coal. Putting the milk pot on it, Zhang Shijie felt that he should still find someone to come over. In such a year or so, Zhang Shijie not only learned a lot of housework, but even learned how to save more effectively. This made Zhang Shijie feel very helpless.
Although there are many doubts about the nannies and waiters provided by the imperial court, the fees are very low. As employees of the imperial court, the imperial court has borne a large part of the salaries of these people.
After a while, there was a faint smell of milk in the kitchen. Zhang Shijie skillfully beat an egg into it, and waited for the egg white to solidify in the milk. He took the pot down and brought the kettle up. After that, go out again.
The community's canteen was moved to the boiler room of the water tower, not far from here. As soon as you enter the cafeteria, you can smell the aroma of various foods. Fried dough sticks, sugar cakes, meat dumplings, steamed buns, rice. The community staff ate breakfast here, and the community residents also sent people to buy breakfast here.
Zhang Shijie bought a few side dishes and steamed buns, and got a bag of fried peanuts that he liked very much, and a piece of corn grits and pumpkin porridge. Peanuts, corn and pumpkins were all Fusang crops brought back by the fleet sent to Fusang by the Zhao Guanjia. Yesterday, Yang Shufei and Yang Sanniang knocked a large bag of spiced sunflower seeds, and the sunflowers that produce sunflower seeds are also crops in Fusangzhou.
Before eating these things, Zhang Shijie didn't understand why the Zhao Guanjia sent a fleet to Fusang Continent thousands of miles away. After eating this, he felt that in the hundreds of years since the discovery of Fusang Island, China has really wasted too much time. When he got home, Zhang Shijie first pinched a few fried peanuts and put them in his mouth, which was fragrant and delicious, which could satisfy the cravings.
Breakfast was comfortable. After Zhang Shijie finished eating, he put forward the idea of applying for a nanny and waiter to Yang Shufei, but Yang Shufei did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, she sighed, "You really still have to go to war." ”
Zhang Shijie remembered what Yang Shufei said yesterday, and he asked curiously, "Why do you think so?" ”
"The first time I saw you, I saw you go to kill the enemy. His expression was the same then as it is now. Yang Shufei replied.
Zhang Shijie can't remember when he first saw Yang Shufei, and in his memory, it was probably around the time when President Lin'an surrendered. At that time, Zhang Shijie and the commanders of the forbidden army of the palace were still in Lin'an. Everyone's vision of the future also varies. At that time, these officers met with the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing and the Empress Dowager Quan. As for Yang Shufei, Zhang Shijie can't remember it at all.
That experience was not what Zhang Shijie wanted to mention, so he laughed and said, "I can't see myself myself, but I don't know what it's like." ”
Yang Shufei was silent for a moment and said, "A little uneasy. But it doesn't stop. ”
Zhang Shijie felt speechless at this time, and these words did tell his mentality in the face of the battlefield. is not afraid, but does not dare to rush in. The slightest negligence can lead to tragic results.
The husband and wife were speechless for a while, and Zhang Shijie finally broke the silence, "What about hiring a nanny." ”
"If you decide, I'll listen to you." Yang Shufei responded.
Zhang Shijie first went to the second department of the Ministry of War to apply for personnel, and when he looked at Zhang Shijie's major general rank badge, the staff informed Zhang Shijie that the Ministry of War only provided nannies and waiters for personnel below the rank of general, and the general level had to go to the Ministry of Officials to submit an application. So Zhang Shijie went to the ministry to deliver the materials.
Fortunately, now the Great Song Dynasty has built the offices of various ministries with the imperial city as the center, but it did not let him go too far. After dealing with this, it was almost noon when I got home, and when I entered the door, I saw a man sitting in the living room. Seeing Zhang Shijie coming back, he stood up angrily.
In terms of appearance, this is quite a handsome old guy, and his figure is tall enough. Zhang Shijie rubbed his eyes, making sure he was not mistaken. Although the old handsome guy's face was a little distorted because of anger, this face was indeed the face of his eldest brother Yang Liangjie.
Yang Liangjie is probably the person Zhang Shijie doesn't want to see in the current Great Song Dynasty. These two people did not deal with each other after the surrender of Lin'an, or Yang Liangjie was disgusted by the successive members of the Great Song Dynasty since Lin'an surrendered.
The reason why relatives are hated by many people is that these people are incapacitated, but they want to gain dominance. Yang Liangjie is a typical figure among them. In order to prevent Yang Liangjie from interfering in the command of the army, Zhang Shijie completely tore his face with Yang Liangjie. When Zhao Jiaren established the Fuzhou Imperial Court, Yang Liangjie also fought with Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Taiwei, but was easily slapped down by Zhao Taiwei. Since then, Yang Liangjie has been completely excluded from the imperial court. Hang up a position as a staunch member, receive a salary, and enjoy the treatment of a staunch member.
Every time he saw Yang Liangjie's angry face, Zhang Shijie knew that nothing good would happen. But now that the two are relatives after all, Zhang Shijie is waiting for Yang Liangjie to speak.
"Why didn't you send Sanniang to my door yesterday?" Yang Liangjie asked angrily.
Zhang Shijie couldn't answer for a while. It was already late at that time, and Yang Sanniang said at the gate of the community that it was no problem for her to go home. Zhang Shijie also wants to go home quickly, and this community has to register to enter, which is very troublesome.
"What's wrong with Sanniang?" Zhang Shijie asked.
"Robbed by thieves in the community!" Yang Liangjie said angrily.
Zhang Shijie felt a little uneasy at this time, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Sanniang injured?" ”
"The bag was snatched!" Yang Liangjie's face was still angry.
"It's okay if people are okay, it's okay if people are okay." Zhang Shijie said two sentences in a row.
This Yang Liangjie was even more angry, and he shouted: "It's okay if people are fine!" Sanniang came to see her aunt, can't you, as an uncle, even send her to the door? You just don't want to see our Yang family! ”
Compared with the nonsense in Zhang Shijie's memory, Yang Liangjie's words this time shook Zhang Shijie's heart and made him feel a little guilty. Indeed, Zhang Shijie didn't want to see the people of the Yang family. In the eyes of others, the Zhao official family's methods of dealing with Yang Shufei can be said to be ruthless enough. In Zhang Shijie's opinion, Yang Shufei was promised to him by the Zhao official family. If Zhao Guan's family is really as ruthless as others see, he has the means to make Yang Shufei lonely for the rest of her life.
The Yang family regards Yang Shufei as the source of their family's promotion and wealth, and Zhang Shijie will marry Yang Shufei, who has no use value in the eyes of the Yang family, and live a good life with her. In the Great Song Dynasty, remarriage is not an uncommon thing, if it weren't for Yang Shufei's identity, she would have remarried a long time ago. For such reasons, Zhang Shijie just didn't want to see Yang Shufei's family.
Because of this little willfulness, Yang Sanniang was robbed, which was beyond Zhang Shijie's imagination. And Zhang Shijie also felt that it was indeed inappropriate to avoid the Yang family. He thought for a moment and asked, "Can the gangsters be caught?" ”
Yang Liangjie replied hatefully: "It's not been peaceful recently, we went to the community to report the case, and they even asked us to go to the public security bureau to report the case!" These people are too perfunctory! ”
This answer made Zhang Shijie feel that Yang Liangjie had returned to his previous painting style. Zhang Shijie didn't want to dwell on this issue, he said: "Let's stay and eat." In the afternoon, we went to the Public Security Bureau together. ”
"My family was robbed, why did you want me to go to the Public Security Bureau? It's time for them to come! Yang Liangjie said hatefully.
"After eating, you go home and wait first."
In the end, Yang Liangjie still didn't eat at Zhang Shijie's house, and after Yang Liangjie left, Yang Shufei couldn't help but sigh: "My brother is hypocritical, this time he ......"
"He just didn't feel angry. I just do my best, and I can only do what I can't do. Zhang Shijie decided to take on the responsibility of a little relative.
