Chapter 1: Making Money
"Be a cold bully flower, trap the smoke in the willows,
Thousands of miles to steal spring twilight.
I am lost all day long, and I still want to fly in my sorrow.
Shocking pink heavy, butterfly stay in the West Garden,
Xi Nirun, Yan Gui Nanpu.
The most nuisance of it, the best about the merry,
The car did not reach Duling Road.
Looking at the pole on the sinking river,
It was also rushed by the late spring tide, and it was difficult to find the official crossing.
Faintly far away, and tears Xie Niang's eyebrows.
When the shore is broken and the new greenery is born,
It is a place of red and sorrowful flow.
Remember that the day the door covered the pear blossoms, cut the lamp late at night. ”
On this day, in March, the light rain was slightly cold, and a crisp and tactful singing voice came faintly from the lake. The voice of the song is clearer and more moving, delicate and innocent, and it is delightful and tempting. It's just that the meaning of sadness and lovesickness in it has inevitably melted a lot.
The master of the song sat on the bow of the boat, looking through the mist and rain, it was a cardamom years, happy and carefree girl, on one side of the boat sat an old man, stroking the piano in his hand, thinking that it should be harmonious, the sound of the piano melodious and harmonious, soft as a little rain, drifting with the wind, lingering on the lake for a long time.
A young man by the river, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, stood quietly for a long time, and his thoughts fluctuated, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and was silent for a long time, and then sighed again, and walked into the city with a flat shoulder, following the grass soaked in the light rain.
When he arrived in the city, he turned around and walked to a shop.
The guy from the shop stood at the door looking forward to it, and when he saw him from afar, he couldn't help but say "aha", and hurriedly greeted him: "Little brother, what is there today?" ”
The young man laughed and said, "Two roe deer, nothing else." ”
The guy was a little disappointed and said: "Why are there no big insects, bears and the like, Master Liu was still thinking about the banquet a few days ago, and asked for a few seasonal dishes." ”
The young man laughed and said, "I call him Master Liu, Master Li, I can eat enough hunting, these days have been raining, if I don't have money to buy rice, I don't bother to go up the mountain." ”
The guy didn't want to offend the young man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the flat burden from him, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the shopkeeper to ask for money." ”
The two of them entered the shop, and the shopkeeper was looking down to settle the accounts, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but have bright eyes, and said: "Little brother, you are here today, there is a good deal to introduce to you, I don't know if you will do it?" ”
The young man couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of business?" ”
The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, didn't talk to him first, took a sip of tea on the spout of the teapot, and then smiled and lowered his head to lift the cover and take a look, and said: "Well, the two roe deer are quite fat, this season is not easy, how about the price?" ”
The young man thought for a while and said, "It's cheap, add another two hundred wen." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "Little brother, don't be insatiable, the transaction I introduced to you can make thousands of dollars at least, and maybe there will be a hundred taels of silver at most." Don't let a small amount be lost. ”
At that time, it was during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, and the consistent money was equal to one tael of silver, but there was a decree in the time of Taizu that those who held gold and silver were not allowed to trade privately, and could only exchange for the passage of treasure money, but the time has come to this, in the people, a tael of silver can be worth a lot more than the consistent money.
When the young man heard this, he was quite moved, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of business, is it troublesome?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "No trouble, no trouble." It's just a run of errands, if it's fast, it won't delay you going home for dinner today. ”
When the young man heard this, he smiled and said, "It's such a good deal, the shopkeeper said it quickly." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's not that the old man is embarrassed with you, your deal, it's really impossible without my introduction." ”
"What the hell is a deal? But the shopkeeper said that it didn't matter, and the prey in the future would definitely be sent back to your home. When the young man saw that the shopkeeper wanted to sell favors, he responded boldly.
The shopkeeper's favor was sufficient, and Guan Zi sold enough, so Shi Shiran said: "Do you know what day it is?" ”
"March 10, what's wrong? What's so special about it? Does it have anything to do with Ming'er is Gu Yu? The young man thought for a moment and asked suspiciously.
The shopkeeper laughed and said: "When I saw you, I have lived in the countryside for a long time, and I don't even know what to do on this day. Would you like this business? ”
The young man said, "Daoist, what Daoist?" Does anyone want to become a monk? ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help frowning when he heard this, stretched out his hand and flicked a chestnut on the young man's head, hating iron and steel: "You kid, you look good-eyed, Si Swenwen, why are you so unlearned, this test is the national selection of talents, and it only happens once in three years." ”
"After a while, the yamen will release the list, let's write a big red good news post, and then send it to the hands of those pilot test families in remote rural areas, this reward is indispensable."
When the young man heard that he could still make such a profit, he couldn't help but wonder for a while, and asked, "That country boy, what money can you have, why don't you find a few big families in the city to eat?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled dumbly and said: "There are too many errands in the city and too fast, even if people reward their own relatives, they will not reward you." Those rural families, even if their families are poor and don't have this money, the same clan and clan have to pool the money to make up the reward of the first person to report the good news, otherwise wouldn't the whole clan be disgraced? ”
When the young man heard this, he laughed and said, "Yes, there is at least a rich man in several nearby villages, so let's eat this big household today." ”
When the shopkeeper saw the young man's promise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Let's say it first, the cost of running errands belongs to you, but the money for writing and watching the list has to belong to me. ”
The young man frowned and said: "No, I may have to travel dozens of miles this time, you just write a few words, Liu Er just raises his neck and looks at it, how can you divide so much?" ”
The shopkeeper's angry beard curled and said, "Then how do you say to divide it?" ”
The young man said: "I don't eat much and occupy more, you introduce me to this deal, maybe you will have to teach me the path after reading the list for a while, I will go to see the list with Liu Er for a while, anyway, I am strong, and ordinary people can't squeeze me, and then I will run on this journey again, and when I come back, we will divide the account in five or five, do you say yes?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled unconsciously and said: "After a long time, you will ask for a profit?" ”
The young man sighed and said: "I don't know the price of firewood and rice, the kid is poor, so I have to do it as a last resort, so I want you to see the joke." ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said: "For the sake of our usual business harmony, it is okay to distribute it like this, it is still early to release the list, have you eaten?" You can nourish your spirit. Either I have breakfast leftovers, how many bites can you deal with? ”
The young man waved his hand and said, "Is Lao He's wonton picker here?" I went to patronize his business. ”
The second man said: "Come, come, it's in the tea shop next to it." ”
The young man said, "So I'll go eat a bowl of wontons first, and you will call me later." After that, he got up and walked out of the shop, walked to the door, and turned his head and said: "Old shopkeeper, your business is really dark enough, how did you come up with such a way?" ”
The shopkeeper scolded with a smile: "Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows everything in the world; Mules and horses travel in Kyushu and can't read a word. I have already asked you to come to the shop to help, and I will have a long experience, so that I can marry a wife and have children in the future, and settle down in the city. But you guard the mountains and forests and act alone as a hunter, and you are in the company of the illiterate old man every day, I really don't know what to think. ”
The young man smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be from Xiucai, so today's good news post will be sent to you, and I will also get a flower." ”
The shopkeeper said angrily: "Go, go, don't humiliate my old boy here." ”
The young man smiled when he heard this, turned around and walked out of the shop, went straight to the tea shop next to him, and went in to find a seat.
The old man who sold wontons was napping by the wall, and when he saw the young man seated, he immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "Boy, take care of the old man's business?" ”
The boy shouted, "Add an egg to the bowl of jade wontons." ”
That old He smiled, but he didn't move, and said in his mouth: "Add twelve eggs." ”
The young man pouted, glanced at him, took out ten cents from his bag and lined it up on the table, the old man was happy, immediately opened the lid of the pot, threw the wontons into the hot soup, and after a while, he cooked a bowl of wontons, and served them hot.
The young man took the wontons, asked Dr. Tea to make a pot of tea, served a plate of pumpkin seeds and a plate of broad beans, paid five cents, and invited Lao He to come over and drink tea together.
The young man said: "Lao He, let me teach you how this jade wonton sells?" ”
That Lao He picked up the teacup, blew a breath, then took a sip, closed his eyes slightly and said: "At the beginning, people wanted to be fresh and sold well, but recently this wonton is not as good as my old Wenzhou wonton." ”
When the young man heard this, he sighed unconsciously: "I was expecting this wonton to open a chain restaurant, but now it seems that it is impossible." ”
Lao He sneered: "You can make a bowl of wontons, and you still want to open a restaurant?" I can't even hold up a snack burden. My Lao He has been wrapped in this wonton for decades, the skin is tender, big, filling, delicious, tender and smooth, the craftsmanship has been passed down from the ancestor of Xi Shi in the Warring States Period to the present, your wonton is green, it is a strange word, and you dare to open a restaurant? I don't want you to recruit cooks at Lao Zhang's restaurant next door. ”
When the young man heard this, he was unconvinced and said, "Hmph! Who said that I can't be a cook, the three fresh, the meat section, the pot meat, the white meat and blood sausage, there is no second person in this world who can do it except me! ”
