Tang Shijin listened quietly.

He holds the three strings, sings in the Suzhou dialect, speaks softly and skillfully, and the whole tune is like a pingtan but not like the pingtan of later generations, and the rhythm is slightly faster, which is probably unique to this era.

Although the words are shallow, they tell a complete story.

A child in the countryside, the young "Lingguo" made a fortune, encountered an accident in the middle, and the family business was gone, and in the middle of his father and mother were estimated to have died of exhaustion, leaving only one alone, so in the end he sang "Dad is full, Mom eats, a bowl of drink with a belly round", that kind of family has no surplus food, when the father said that he was full, when the mother said that he ate under the stove, all let the skin boy eat...... It's a situation that brings tears to people's eyes.

And "three days of panic and ten days of busyness" really activated the kind of disbelief and panic at first when he learned that his young son was making money, and then he was happy, "two silver bills hold the warmth", the feeling of holding the silver and not willing to give it, is also vivid, he is obviously extremely filial to his father and mother.

Tang Shijin got up and arched his hand: "What is your surname for this gentleman?" ”

The man choked up and returned the salute: "Xu Jiyu." ”

Tang Shijin said: "Mr. Xu is talking inside. ”

Xu Jiyu hung his head and followed.

Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

In this era, the transportation was inconvenient, and the vast majority of people could not understand Suzhou dialect and did not know what he sang at all.

Even Hua Shenglin couldn't understand it.

Tang Shijin didn't go to the teahouse, and directly invited Xu Jiyu into the back of the teahouse, sat down on both sides, and Tang Shijin said: "Who set the fire?" ”

"I don't know...... Xu Jiyu lowered his head and said softly: "Our brother-in-law of the county commander has some dealings with my fiancée. ”

He choked up: "My storehouse and old house in the countryside are more than ten miles apart, but they were all burned clean on the same night, and the gold and silver that could not be burned were also gone." This side burns, the hind foot ...... The other family withdrew, and she became the man's concubine. ”

Tang Shijin said: "What are Mr. Xu's plans now?" ”

Xu Jiyu turned around and knelt down: "Xu Mou has one in twenty this year, and when he was burned, his family assets had exceeded 100,000 taels, and the capital was just a hawthorn tree!" Xu was born with a spiritual tongue, can taste all kinds of flavors, is good at making candied fruits, has a little experience in business, and is willing to spend the rest of his life for Boss Tang to drive, and begged Boss Tang to take him in. ”

I can make candied fruit but send charcoal in the snow, and I am worried that there is nowhere to put the fruit!

Tang Shijin was noncommittal: "Ling'er." ”

Qi Yaoling responded, she said, "Take him to Yang's house, borrow a place to change his clothes, have some food, and then let's go out." ”

Qi Yaoling nodded and took him down.

Xu Jiyu bathed and changed his clothes, Tang Shijin and the two were still waiting, so the four of them came out together, and went to see Hua Shenglin's business according to the plan when they came.

Now Hua Shenglin's business is actually not a business.

Tang Shijin opened up the road between the three-foot building and the medical hall for him, and he sold it very casually, without any planning.

After turning around, Tang Shijin asked, "What does Mr. Xu think?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Xu Jiyu arched his hand again and again: "If Boss Tang doesn't dislike it, just call me Jiyu." ”

Tang Shijin nodded, he also knew that this was a test, so he said: "In my opinion, this business is not an ordinary business, and ordinary medicine shops don't use it much, but it's really hard to find when you want to use it, so you shouldn't sell it step by step." The...... Since Xiaohua Ye will raise, if you don't worry about the cost, then raise it in a good way, raise it, raise it well, different from the side, and gradually the wine will not be afraid of the deep alley, and there will be people in the distance to buy, and you can sell it at a high price. ”

Tang Shijin nodded with a smile: "Not bad." ”

She glanced at him a few times, and then turned to Hua Shenglin: "That's it, let's find a place when we go back, and we can raise more if we can." ”

Hua Shenglin nodded, and went to tell Uncle Tian to raise it first and not sell it.

Tang Shijin asked Xu Jiyu again: "What will you do with preserves?" ”

Xu Jiyu said: "Anything can be done, but as long as there are fruits on the market, I don't know it." ”

Tang Shijin asked: "I have excellent quality fruits, but I also have average quality fruits, if I sell them regardless of quality, how can I sell them so that I don't throw them away?" ”

Although Xu Jiyu didn't know why he didn't sell it separately, he wanted to be sure that it was a question to test him, so he said: "It's easy, my shop is ......" He paused for a moment and changed his words: "I privately pondered a way to eat, which is slightly drier than candied fruit, and it is more restless, but it is not dry when I actually eat it in my mouth, I use fruits with heavy flavors, such as sour plums, dried and sweetened to grind fine fruit powder, and then when I make dried fruits, I stick to the surface, and the two flavors are stacked layer by layer, which is very delicious." ”

Tang Shijin nodded: "Then you can try it when you go back." ”

Xu Jiyu said: "Yes." ”

Then the four of them went up the hill again.

The three of them are all practitioners, and they are the same as playing in the mountains, Xu Jiyu is poor in this regard, and he can't keep up at all.

Tang Shijin didn't care, so he asked him to sit there and wait, and the three of them went around in a circle after a while, picked a place, Tang Shijin directly asked Xu Jiyu to accompany Hua Shenglin, and went to buy this place, which was farther away from the block, and if it was taken care of, it could be raised more.

It was noon after the matter was done, and the group went to Sanqilou for lunch, Tang Shijin also asked Mrs. Zheng by the way, if you want to go over and open a shop, not only a restaurant like Sanchilou, Zheng Qingyuan can also go over to open a bookstore or something.

Mrs. Zheng didn't respond for a while, and said that she would go back to discuss it, because it was obvious that she would have to be idle for a year and a half.

Tang Shijin didn't care either, and went down to the three-foot building and smiled with Qi Yaoling: "Let's open a hot pot restaurant by ourselves, specializing in chrysanthemum hot pot, and I'll invite you to eat when winter comes." ”

Qi Yaoling said: "Isn't it possible to eat it at home?" ”

"It's different!" Tang Shijin said: "If you change places for the same thing, it will feel different." ”

She paused herself: "If you say that, there must be a teahouse outside, and I don't drink tea and I don't think about it......" she began to ponder.

While talking, the four of them walked down the street, and suddenly there was a humane: "A little lady, so ignorant of inspection, every day and a bunch of foreign men in and out of pairs, unscrupulous...... It's really immoral! It's immoral! ”

Tang Shijin turned back directly: "Are you talking about me?" ”

The middle-aged man in the scribe's shirt was choked by her question, where had he ever seen such a bold little lady?

But when he really asked his face, in front of so many people, how could he have a face, so he said: "Exactly!" Don't say who you can say! How can there be such a little lady who does not abide by women's morals? ”

She waved her hand and called the flower wolf: "Lin'er." ”

The flower wolf was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had called him, "Master." ”

"Find out who this is......" she said as she turned around and continued to walk forward, only her voice was clear in her ears: "Find out who this surname is, what new friends and old friends does he have, and what are the three generations of relatives...... Check our family's business, and if you accidentally use it, you will resign immediately, and you won't use it again. Check again what kind of villagers and relatives he has, and the division commander is the same family...... The wages will be reduced by 30%. ”

She smiled back and said from afar, "So as not to stain this person's pure and noble virtue!" ”
