Chapter 167: Exploitation

A few days later, God finally remembered the common people, and a torrential rain fell as scheduled amid the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people.

Lin Mei, who was preparing to call a day and go home in the office hall, saw Tong Dacai limping and hurriedly came to report.

"If you go back to the master, the matter you asked me to check is already eyebrow-raising."

Tong Dacai saw that there was no one else except the master, so he said: "I heard that Shangguan Jun has a bad reputation in Chang'an, he is arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in his eyes, the most important thing is that he has the best face, and he is the youngest son in the family, his grandmother and his mother are spoiled, and he has never broken the silver taels, and often goes to Goulan Washe with a group of fox friends and dog friends." One day, Lin Xiang Pavilion fought an Oiran, and Shangguan Jun even bought a daughter for a prostitute named "Manniang" and won the title of Oiran. Everyone thought that he was Manniang's number one guest, but unfortunately, Uncle Guo also fell in love with Manniang, no, the two fought for this matter, Uncle Guo was originally from a martial arts family, that Shangguan Jun was born in a scholarly family, and he was powerless, that was his opponent, in front of his friends in the attic, he lost face. Unconvinced, on the second day, a group of thugs were gathered, and while they were unprepared, they beat Uncle Guo so much that he couldn't get out of bed. This matter was caused in the palace, and the emperor was angry and reprimanded the Taifu for not strictly disciplining him, so he was sent to Luoyang and asked the king of Qi to help discipline him. Tong Dacai told the story.

Lin Mei thought of Se Ling Zhi Dizzy, a plaything to describe him, the most appropriate, as long as there is an enemy, it is easy to do, and the corner of her mouth sneered: "In Luoyang, who does he make friends with on weekdays?" Have you offended anyone? ”

Tong Dacai frowned and said: "If you say that in addition to the six sons of Changshi, there are also a few sons of wealthy businessmen, have you ever offended anyone in Luoyang?" I haven't heard of this, but I think about it, for the sake of King Qi, everyone will only curry favor with him, and they will not embarrass him. ”

Lin Mei thought for a while and said: "You go to the account to pay two hundred taels of silver first, give up some silver to find a few people, in a few restaurants he often goes to, talk about this matter, and publicize his great achievements of "becoming famous in the first war", it is best to find a few more sharp-tongued people, you can boast as much as you want, first send him to the sky, we have to step on the uncle for him, speak out for him, be sure to have a relationship with the people he is good friends with, and let the officials and nobles of the entire Luoyang City know how majestic he is in Luoyang, And let him be proud for a while. Remember, don't expose your identity and let people catch the handle, our Lin family can't withstand a little wave. ”

Tong Dacai secretly sighed that it was the master who was angry with him, this was to take advantage of the situation to vent his evil anger for the second lady, but his mouth responded.

Tong Da just turned around and left, and met his father Tong Shopkeeper in the aisle, straightened up and called Dad with a smile.

The shopkeeper glared at him and said, "You rabbit cub, I don't know what you've been busy with lately, fooling around all day long, don't think that you have done a few errands, and your tail will shake, if you don't take the opportunity to ask the master for a good errand, look, it won't be long before the master forgets about you." ”

Tong Dacai didn't want to explain to him, and said with a hippie smile: "I'm also the eldest and the youngest, you don't care about me, the master has said, after a while, he will ask for a daughter-in-law for me, if you have the heart, you will clean up the new house for me." ”

The shopkeeper Tong was slightly surprised: "Don't be drunk and drunk, and come to coax me to be poor." ”

The common people, the marriage should be the parents in charge, but the slave and the maid are a different matter, they have lost their freedom, and they have no autonomy to even marry and have children.

Tong Dacai saw that there was no one around, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear.

As soon as the shopkeeper Tong heard it, he knew that there was a play: "That's fine, you two kings and eight with mung beans, no one will dislike anyone in the future, that girl is a little flawed in her appearance, but she is good, generous and decent, and assertive, much better than your sister-in-law, I will invite your Uncle Wang to drink another day, and you will have to come and accompany you when the time comes." ”

Tong Dacai was overjoyed and bowed to his father: "The son thanked his father for his success." ”

"Father, this is to talk back to the master, I won't delay your time, the master is still waiting in the house." Tong Dacai saw that he was holding a recipe in his hand, so he knew that he had something urgent to do, and said with a smile.

The shopkeeper Tong remembered the business at this time, and his eyes widened: "It's all because you interrupted, and almost forgot about the business." ”

After speaking, he went to the office with joy.

"Miss, according to the usual practice, next month's recipe should be readjusted, this is our family's recipe, you see what to adjust and add." Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said as he handed her the recipe.

Lin Mei glanced at it a few times and said: "It's a hot day these days, and the hot pot and soup pot are not served for the time being, so you ask Wang Lin to buy more ice and come back, and add a few cold snacks and cold dishes; Prepare less greasy dishes, such as this elbow, if no one pre-orders in advance, only prepare six servings a day; Mutton is already easy to get on fire, so the stewed mutton in the pot and the braised mutton are also withdrawn. Recently, there are more sauerkraut fish, squirrel fish, braised vegetables, and cold dishes, and the people in the kitchen are instructed to use more snacks, and the cold dishes that are overnight must all be poured out, chickens, ducks and fish, as long as they are not living creatures, are wrapped in ice and stored, and there is no need to save a few silvers. I'll ponder the dim sum and cold menus again, and I'll answer you tomorrow. ”

"Yes, the master wants to be considerate, and I will definitely turn this into place. It's just that the guy recently found that there are often people dangling at the kitchen door, and if he comes to steal the master to learn the art, it's better to say, I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good, and when the time comes, he will still be in the dark by the calculations. Shopkeeper Tong frowned and said.

Lin Mei was surprised: "There is such a thing? How many days are there? ”

"The stone and the pillar said, there have been four or five days, at the beginning everyone was busy, and they didn't care, the stone and the pillar often went to the kitchen to serve food, and when they came and went, they felt that the person was familiar, so they paid attention, afraid that something happened to the master to blame, so they found me to talk about it, this is unfounded, I don't want to blast people out, and I hope the master will have an idea." Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile.

Lin Mei secretly thought: I'm afraid that it will make people red, if it is just a stealing teacher, it doesn't matter if you look at it for one or two, but if someone wants to make it bad and ruin the reputation of Hongxing Building, don't dare to be careless about this matter, only a thousand years to be a thief, there is no thousand years to prevent thieves, if this matter is not properly handled, there will be endless troubles.

Under speculation, he said: "You leave this matter to Fugui to do, let him take on more responsibilities, find two people to keep an eye on the kitchen, don't let people fish in troubled waters, count food and utensils every morning and evening, more than one is not good, less is not good, even firewood and water tank don't let go, choose a rooster to prepare, feed the chickens with water every day, before using it, be careful to make the Wannian boat, let everyone cheer up, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." ”

When the shopkeeper Tong went down, Lin Mei felt that she had to borrow a few servants who knew kung fu from King Qi to do it, thought for a moment, and hurriedly went to King Qi's mansion.
