Chapter 196: Buying Zhuangzi
"There are almost more than 100 businesses in the town that have joined the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no need for every household to contribute to the food." Cheng Shen walked to the door of the stove room and looked at it, turned back, walked in front of Huajiao, and said solemnly, "Your Mingxianglou has recently become popular in Wutong Town, you naturally have a few dishes, and you don't need too much, just prepare two or three dishes." ”
"If Boss Hua cooks food, it must be Buddha jumping over the wall and boiling cabbage, and the people in Wutong Town are talking about these two dishes these days!" Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile, "We still have two days to prepare, just right on the menu, and when the time comes, all kinds of dishes will be served together, and Lord Qincha will be satisfied." ”
"Okay, then I'll make these two dishes." Hua Jiao also has this intention, "Shopkeeper Wang, you can call me by my name, call me Boss Hua, it's awkward." ”
"Haha, okay, I'll call you peppercorns in the future." Shopkeeper Wang laughed.
Cheng Shen also laughed.
Seeing that the two of them have not left, Huajiao invited the two to the third floor to drink tea, noon is a meal, the diners are eating on the first or second floor, there is no one on the third floor, Huajiao led the two to find a window seat to sit down, and personally went to the stove room to get a boiling kettle to make tea for the two, Cheng Shenzheng chatted warmly with the shopkeeper Wang: "Lord Qincha killed six pirates on the dock, I heard that Qin Wuye was so scared that he peed his pants......"
"I can't see that Chincha-sama is a ruthless character." The shopkeeper Wang said with palpitations, "Fifth Master Qin is used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, but this is really planted." ”
I never dreamed that Qin Wuye would have today.
It can be seen that after walking by the river for a long time, you will eventually get your shoes wet.
What's more, this time Qin Wuye not only wet his shoes, but almost drowned in the river.
"What are you talking about?" Sichuan pepper brought the tea.
Cheng Shen originally told Hua Jiao about the wharf: "What you should know is that for the sake of your eldest and second child, Lord Qincha cut down six robbers, I heard that your third master Pei was also there at that time!" ”
"When my eldest brother and second brother came back, they were all doing well, why did they kill six people?" Hua Jiao's heart sank, those robbers were hateful, but Pei Run and Pei Man were unscathed, and those people were not guilty to death!
"Who's to say it isn't!" Cheng Shen sighed, "Although they are making waves on the sea, they are not heinous people, they have only heard of the robbery of goods over the years, but they have never heard of bandits hurting people, they easily do not hurt hostages." ”
In fact, most of the pirates in this sea area are just gangsters on Qianfeng Island.
When the farm is not working, they come out to grab some goods, and most of the time they still farm on the island, in the final analysis, they are just ordinary people.
"It is said that the new official took office with three fires, and Lord Qincha's fire burned really hard." The shopkeeper sighed, "That's six lives!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" Cheng Shen also shook his head.
Sichuan pepper was silent.
After all, this matter involves the Pei family, and in front of them, she can't say anything more.
The two drank tea for a while and got up to say goodbye.
When he walked to the staircase, Huajiao called Cheng Shen to ask about the Zhuangzi in Yucheng, Cheng Shen's eyes lit up: "If you want to buy it, hurry up, recently someone in Tongcheng is also inquiring about buying land, probably because I heard that there is going to be a war, and I feel that the mainland is not safe, and I want to move to the mainland!" ”
"Let's settle this matter today, I bought this Zhuangzi!" Although Huajiao did not tell the Pei family that she wanted to buy Zhuangzi, she also inquired about the price of Zhuangzi in the audit, a thousand taels is indeed not a lot, she believes in Cheng Shen, after all, such a cheap thing is not something that can be encountered from time to time, and said in a deep voice, "Please help me do this for the past two days, I won't go to see it." ”
"Believe me so much?" Cheng Shen was surprised, "One thousand taels is not a small amount, why don't you go over and take a look!" ”
He has been a real house tooth for so many years, and he has never seen such a happy buyer!
Even if you buy a cabbage, you have to pick it carefully!
"It's too far away, so I'm not going." Hua Jiao said disapprerovingly, "You are an expert, if you think it is suitable, then it must be suitable, when you go to Yucheng, tell me, I will find a few people to go with you." ”
A few days ago, she asked Guan Mao to go to the City God Temple every other day to take care of those beggars.
Those beggars said that if they had the opportunity, they would change their minds and never be beggars again.
Anyway, go as many as you can.
"I'll go and inform the seller tomorrow and bring you back the title deed." Cheng Shen knew that those beggars in the City God Temple had some friendship with Huajiao, so he simply said, "I'm a quick-tempered person, and I will definitely do things for you before the Hundred Family Banquet." ”
"Okay, then you go to the City God Temple to bring people before you leave tomorrow, and I'll go over and ask them who is going later." Sichuan pepper doesn't want to continue to drag on, according to the current situation in Wutong Town, maybe the fight will start soon, and when the time comes, you won't be able to buy anything.
After Cheng Shen left, the pepper went to the stove room to steam a pot of steamed buns and carried it to the City God Temple.
In fact, the beggars in the City God Temple are not all begging for a living, if anyone in the town builds a house, most of them will go to the City God Temple and call them to do short-term work, they really can't get a job, so they will continue to beg.
She is not a virgin and cannot be a virgin.
Since her Zhuangzi needs manpower, then she will also consider using these beggars.
The last time she teamed up with Shopkeeper Wang to deal with Wu Mei, they did help a lot, and besides, these beggars have no roots and no roots, and they don't have so many intertwined relationships, so they are easier to manage.
After dividing the buns, he explained his intention to Song Yi, the lame man who was the oldest and had a lot of prestige among beggars.
Song Yi worked as a housekeeper in a large family when he was young, and later because he committed something and was broken leg, he couldn't go to work, he couldn't be a bad person, and he became a beggar for his livelihood, he knew that Hua Jiao was kind at heart, and often came to support them, and he has always been very grateful to her in his heart, and now, he is willing to give them a place to live, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and immediately swore that "as long as the owner can trust us, we will die, and we will die in the owner's Zhuangzi." ”
The crowd also eagerly chimed in: "We are willing to go." ”
"You don't have to answer me in a hurry, think about it and then talk about it, if you want to go, follow Cheng Gongzi to Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look, and it's not too late to make a decision when you come back." Huajiao said seriously, "Tomorrow I will ask Guan Mao to send you some road vegetables to eat on the way, there are still a lot of things in my store that I can't leave, you should do me a favor and help me go to see Zhuangzi." ”
"We listen to the owner." The crowd responded with joy.
Huajiao left the Chenghuang Temple, and went to the road restaurant non-stop to let Feng and Guan Mao prepare the road dishes in advance and send them to the Chenghuang Temple, Feng They were busy in full swing, and when they saw Huajiao, they couldn't wait to ask Pei Run and Pei Man about it: "I heard that when the third brother of your family went to pick up your eldest brother and second brother, several robbers were executed on the dock, have you heard?" ”
