Chapter 113: Peers are enemies
Besides, on the same day, Dongzi took the buns and the letter and rushed back to the city, Fang Jie was really happy to see it, and ate three meat buns. At the end, while drinking tea to dissolve the greasy, I read the letter, and I actually laughed so much that I even choked on it.
Dongzi hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the handkerchief, and couldn't help but be curious and wanted to peek a few times, but unfortunately Fang Jie accepted the letter like a child, and casually pointed to the door and drove him out.
Dongzi was extremely disappointed, and while muttering that the master was stingy, he lowered his head and walked out, not wanting to hear the master add another sentence before he could get out of the door, "Today's errand is well done, go to the account room to receive the reward." ”
The cost of marrying a daughter-in-law was two taels more, and Dongzi was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high, and ran out after saying thank you.
Shopkeeper Luo saw that this kid had won another reward, so he naturally wanted to ask for an understanding, but Dongzi made up his mind to treat his mouth as a mussel shell, and refused to reveal half a point.
It was the time for the old and the young to fight wits and courage, but the little steward came in and told him that Fuguilou had just talked about a green vegetable business, and that kind of vegetable was also from Nangou Village.
Dongzi almost immediately remembered the sneaky Liu Shuisheng, and he slapped his thigh with hatred and ran to ask his master for guilt, and the old shopkeeper followed suit.
No, Fang Jie's face was not half shocked when he heard this, and the corners of his eyes swept over the delicate seal characters on the envelope in his hand, becoming more and more sure that this woman was afraid that she had already guessed this, or that this matter was arranged by her at all.
"Fuguilou has been tossing for long enough, let's fight with them completely this time." Fang Jie put the letter into a beautifully carved sandalwood box, knocked his fingers heavily on the table at the end, raised his eyebrows, and ordered in a cold voice, "I will send posts to the rest of the restaurants in a while, and I will say that I will hold a banquet in Nian'en Garden in the evening and discuss with them the plan to make a fortune." ”
Shopkeeper Luo hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Childe, but do you want to unite these few families to collapse the rich building?" These families have a lot of appetites, and I'm afraid they won't be tempted easily. ”
Fang Jie shook it with a smile and responded, "Don't worry, we have enough benefits to make them tempted." Go ahead and arrange it! ”
Shopkeeper Luo bowed down, and when he left, he pulled Dongzi on the side. When he was far enough away from the door, he asked, "Was that letter sent by the sister-in-law of the Zhang family in Nangou Village?" ”
Dongzi shook his head proudly and corrected, "Childe said that he wants to call Zhang Dongjia." ”
Shopkeeper Luo glared and stretched out his hand to knock him, and said angrily, "Don't you want this month's salary, hurry up!" ”
Dongzi rubbed his head aggrievedly, his eyes were dripping and pondering for a long time, he didn't dare to get along with the silver, so he nodded and said, "It was sent by Zhang Dongjia, I don't know what was written, our son laughed for a long time." ”
Shopkeeper Luo stroked his beard, frowned and groaned for a long time, and finally shook his head lightly and left.
Dongzi shrugged his shoulders and muttered in a low voice, "This old man is too cunning, he can't guess it, right?" ”
This night, the night of Cuiluan City had just begun, and the main courtyard hall of Nian'en Garden was already brightly lit. The gold-painted dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals were hardened by the candlelight and shimmered with golden light, as dazzling as summer stars.
The maids wore flowers and butterflies to serve wine and food, and the warm breeze brought by them made people feel like they had fallen into the fantasy fairy mountain.
The owners of several restaurants in Cuiluan City who have been on the table are all sitting around the table with their round bellies, smiling kindly and happily, and praising the mellow wine and exquisite dishes from time to time.
One of them, Boss Chen, who was impatient, poured more than a dozen glasses of wine into his stomach, and when he was half drunk and slightly drunk, he couldn't help but look at Fang Jie on the main seat, and asked loudly, "When Fang Gongzi invited us to come to the door today, it can be said that he wanted to discuss the plan to make a fortune, and now that all his peers have gathered, Fang Gongzi might as well say it clearly." ”
A few people next to him heard that the surnamed Chen took the lead first, so they echoed and smiled, "That is, now we are all looking forward to the white clouds, and Fang Gongzi can just tell me if he has something." ”
Fang Jie raised his hand to signal the maid to retreat, leaving only the shopkeeper Luo and the little housekeeper to help add wine in the house, and then he smiled lightly and said, "Brothers, we have been really lively recently, and that is also the concession of the old brothers, and the little brother appreciates it in his heart."
Speaking of which, the younger brother has been rolling in business for a few years, and he doesn't understand other big truths, but he still knows a lot about the fact that it takes a long time to earn money together. Therefore, in the future, every time we bring back the vegetables from Baiyunju, half of them will be divided out to press the table for each family, what do you think? ”
"Is that true?" When the restaurant owners heard this, they immediately asked in unison, and they were all half happy and half suspicious.
You must know that now the vegetables in Baiyunju are sold for five taels of silver a plate, so it is not necessarily that anyone who enters can eat it, and each small vegetable seedling is the same as silver. And Fang Jie was so happy, he threw half of the cornucopia out of a few words with an understatement, which naturally everyone felt incredible.
Fang Jie also ignored their questioning, and casually smashed another hammer, "In the spring of next year, there will be two acres of green vegetables to be served in January early." If you are interested, it is not impossible for us to divide half of Baiyunju again. ”
"Fang Gongzi is so generous, we naturally can't be stingy!" Several restaurant owners glanced at each other, and one of them cautiously tentatively said, "In terms of the price of green vegetables, we will add two percent, what does Fang Gongzi think?" ”
Fang Jie frowned and waved his hand, and said with a smile, "The old brother misunderstood, the difference in the price of dozens of taels of silver, the junior brother will not take it too seriously." ”
Since he didn't take silver too seriously, it meant that there was something more important in his eyes. Several bosses' eyes were rolling, and they thought about it for a long time, but they still couldn't resist the temptation of green vegetables, and they all said, "Master Fang, if you have something to say, just say it directly, as long as we can do it, we will definitely not refuse!"
Fang Jie slowly raised the white jade wine glass in front of him and smiled gently, "I happened to go up to the third floor of Baiyunju to sit on the third floor yesterday, but I saw a great snow scene, but I couldn't look at it from a distance because of the building opposite, which is really a big pity!" ”
Several restaurant owners are suddenly enlightened, if they say that their peers are enemies, Fuguilou and Baiyunju are the enemies of the family.
In the past few years, the two families have been fighting openly and secretly, but they have added a lot of topics to the people of Cuiluan City. It's just that Fuguilou has always taken the initiative to provoke, and Baiyunju rarely faces it in a high-profile manner. Now I don't know why this Fang Gongzi suddenly broke up and thought of uprooting Fuguilou like this.
However, Cuiluan City is a big piece of dim sum, and those of them who open restaurants are the ones who snatch dim sum. One less person to share the food is definitely not a bad thing for each family. What's more, there are still people who take the lead, and they just help step on a few feet later, so why not.
After making up their minds, the bosses raised their wine glasses and touched each other, and said with a smile, "Then I wish Fang Gongzi a wish as soon as possible." ”
"By the words of all of you, when the time comes, we will definitely hold a banquet again and invite you to drink and enjoy the snow together."
Everyone laughed tacitly, and drank the wine in the toast at the end...
In this way, the banquet was drunk for another half an hour, and the guests left with a stomach full of thoughts.
Shopkeeper Luo helped send the guests back, and he took the hangover soup in Dongzi's hand and sent it in.
Fang Jie had already changed into a set of royal blue household robes, and after drinking half a bowl of sourness, he said, "The matter of Fuguilou is arranged like this, Uncle Luo will take care of it more carefully in the future." The day after tomorrow, I will set off back to Kyoto, half a month soon, and a month back slowly. ”
The old shopkeeper hurriedly responded, and asked, "Son, is it better to prepare a generous New Year's gift for returning to the old mansion?" ”
Fang Jie's brows furrowed slightly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand and said, "No need, it's three percent less than in previous years." ”
The old shopkeeper hesitated a little, and tried to persuade him, "Childe, if the New Year's gift is suddenly reduced like this, I'm afraid that the old mansion will make trouble." Why don't you follow the example of previous years..."
"No, just prepare as I say, I know it." Fang Jie made up his mind and refused to change, the old shopkeeper was not good to talk about, and asked a few more chores in the restaurant and retreated.
Dongzi stood in the corner of the house, and saw that the master was worried about the old mansion again, so he walked in front of him and said with a smile, "Son, today the little one heard Zhang Dongjia say that he was going to go into the city to buy food for Sister-in-law Liu, and the little one was thinking, whether to pick up Zhang Dongjia tomorrow, after all, on this windy and snowy day, it would be too sinful to take an ox cart to hurry." ”
Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Fang Jie's brows immediately relaxed, and his face unconsciously became more happy, and he responded, "Oh, should she really say that?" Then go and pick it up, remember to prepare more warm things for the spring warbler. ”
"Okay, that little one will leave early tomorrow morning!" Dongzi secretly rejoiced that he had slapped the sycophants again, and he was happy to prepare.
On the second day, the sun, which had been lazy for many days, rarely jumped out of the ground early and hung on the top of the east mountain. The faint sunlight shines on the white snowfield, reflecting the entire mountain forest village like a fairyland.
Shanzi, a nominal general, has won the support and love of the soldiers more and more in the past few days because of the timely and abundant distribution of grain and grass. After breakfast, he dressed like a small winter melon, and held a wooden knife to "march" to the small river outside the village.
The house is much quieter without the noise of this naughty boy. Mrs. Li took Chunni and Pucao to spread a half-kang fabric, picking which piece was more suitable for sewing the strange clothes called "vest" in Pucao's mouth.
Peach Blossom sat on the side with a smile, stretching out her little hand from time to time to touch this piece of cotton cloth, rubbing the piece of brocade, and her eyes were full of love.
Mrs. Li likes this girl to be well-behaved and sensible, so she hugged her in her arms and said with a smile while dangling, "Pucao, do you really want to use that chicken feather and goose feathers as a cotton sewing jacket?" The aunt feels weird no matter how she thinks about it, can she wear it? ”
"Absolutely! When the sewing comes out, the lady will know, it is much lighter and warmer than the padded jacket. Pu Cao finally chose a piece of stone blue muslin and put it aside, and then quickly wrapped the rest and pushed it to the tip of the kang.
Chunni opened the bag of chicken feathers and rummaged through it, and immediately got a fluff on her arm, which made her annoyed and shouted, "When it's done, you can wear it yourself." It's covered in hair like this, and going out to keep it makes people laugh and break their bellies. ”
Pu Cao smiled and spread the cloth, holding a small blackened branch in his hand and gesturing, thinking about making a small vest for Shanzi first. When she has mastered her skills, she will make one and give it to Fang Jie, otherwise it will really be a joke if she really gets this noble son's hair on his body.
