Chapter 196: All-you-can-eat
"I know you're all watching me, don't hide, come out quickly!"
Wei Zheng was not hindered in any way, and after visiting all the places, he sighed and shouted, if he wants to get all the light pieces of the Fan family manor, it is impossible, the place is too big, so he can only take the main road and walk along the place where there are people.
I thought that Fan Jingjing would answer him, but I didn't expect to answer an unfamiliar voice.
But this voice seems to be very mature, although it is a girl's voice.
"Has Mr. Wei finished his visit? Then you can follow the guidance of the voice and walk to the place where Mrs. Fan Jingjing is, Mrs. Fan still has work to be busy, so she didn't come out to receive the whole process. ”
The voice seemed to come from a pillar next to him, and he almost jumped down, after all, he didn't see anyone in that direction.
There was a trumpet-shaped object in that place, and if you listened carefully, the sound seemed to come from somewhere.
Wei Zheng couldn't help it, looking east and west at the speaker, someone here should observe his behavior, so as to make such a sound to him, Wei Zheng didn't know, although there was no monitor and no sound horn, but Fan Jingjing used the principles of physical science to do a simple projection reflection, although someone has to watch it at close range, but it can be monitored from a place to a relatively large range, and this voice is the monitor who comes out from the monitoring side, and it is not completely doing the work of conveying the sound, they still have a job to do, By the way, he is supervising to prevent any danger from happening in the family manor.
For Wei Zheng, this kind of monitored and full-body tool is really amazing, and he now wants to find Fan Jingjing right away and ask Fan Jingjing how these things are done.
Why was it that through these voices, he was able to lead him to the Fan family manor, where Fan Jingjing was?
Because the inspiration given to him by the trumpet let him know that his daughter had seen his existence for a long time, but refused to appear.
He was also able to find a reason for his daughter, after all, his daughter didn't come here to play.
Wei Zheng had eaten, and by this time it was actually close to dinner time, and he saw that a lot of people suddenly poured out from various places in the Fan family's manor, and the sound that came out of the pack did not make any special expressions and movements, as if he was accustomed to it.
It was these voices that made more people pay attention to Wei Zheng's existence and know that Wei Zheng was an adult, not a small person.
If it were, the people in other places may be far away from Wei Zheng and look at Wei Zheng with admiration, but the people in the Fan family manor are different, they feel that their lives are very good and proud, and these lives are brought by the Fan family manor to the court and say to the court that they only know that the court will always collect money, but the court's care for them is not close to reality, but under Fan Jingjing's propaganda, they also know that the money collected by the court has not been enough, and this money is often swallowed up by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Therefore, some high-ranking officials in the court who want to do things are actually very hard.
If they had originally thought, they would have doubted the authenticity of the imperial court's protection of them.
So Wei Zheng walked all the way forward, talking to the people all the way, and the people almost had to go to the free canteen, and some of the people who went to the shopping street to eat seemed to have made an appointment with a few friends to go to have a good time together.
The meal time in the Fan family's manor was very life-like, Wei Zheng chatted with them while walking, and slowly experienced this feeling, and even he felt that the voice of the guide next to him was a kind of interference.
Wei Zheng can feel that the people in this place are very happy to live, although they are also hard labor, but hard work can bring them a happy life, unlike people from other places in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary farmers or laborers After hard work, they still have to calculate how they should live next, and that kind of helplessness often comes out of the body.
It is also because of this kind of hard work and hard work that Wei Zheng wants to become an official who is helpful to the people, so he will work very hard when supervising, even regardless of the safety of his own life, and sometimes he doesn't even care about the life of his family.
People's time is limited, and they can only focus on Wei Xiaoran as Wei Zheng's daughter, which is actually a very unlucky thing, but they still have a little admiration for what their father has done, so they are willing to cooperate with Wei Zheng's family, Wei Zheng's family is also very helpless, but they are also unwilling to create more trouble for Wei Zheng, they also believe that their husband or father will be famous in history, and they are also willing to help Wei Zheng reduce a little burden.
"The people of the Fan family manor live very well and happily, if only the people of Datang could live so happily."
Wei Zheng found that he now had a lot of emotion in his heart, he knew that the life of ordinary peasants in the Tang Dynasty was not so good, even the people who worked in the relatively wealthy and powerful families often did not hide their bodies, unlike the Fan family manor, they were no longer farmers but hired laborers strictly speaking, but they took better care of the fields.
He knows that in many practices, people's work, in fact, is not to be able to eat a full stomach and live a very chic life, every ordinary person in the Tang Dynasty must live a frugal life, people living in Chang'an City are already rich people, in the vast countryside many people live, and the outside world has nothing to do with it, completely ruled by the local landlords, but they also need to bear, the tax on cultivated land, even if they do not pay taxes, life may not be too good, but in order to survive, They had to send some of the grain to the imperial court for use.
In their minds, the court is not an official who takes care of them, but a demon who reaches out to them.
It's just that they are used to this kind of daily routine, and they don't feel that it is possible to change.
Fan Jingjing is not anywhere else, but in the canteen of the Fan family manor, there are also several prices in the canteen, Fan Jingjing uses the materials produced in the Fan family manor, or there is no production in the manor, and the materials they go to purchase outside are the freshest and most nutritious. This time is meal time, and Fan Jingjing did not work specifically during meal time, but returned to the canteen to eat.
When eating, although everyone saw Fan Jingjing, they would not deliberately go over to say hello, you must know that Fan Jingjing eats, if she has to nod and wave with others all the time, then she doesn't have to eat, let alone come to Fan's canteen to eat, she has to go to open a small stove.
Therefore, the people of the Fan family manor also realized Fan Jingjing's hard work, so they specially did not greet him, but everyone would still sit around Fan Jingjing.
After this time, Fan Jingjing let a vacant position be vacated next to her: "Lord Wei, you are here, are you hungry now?" Come over for dinner, shall we? I'm in for a treat. ”
The cafeteria is a big canteen, and there are many people gathered to eat, but Wei Zheng can notice that the dishes in everyone's rice bowl are good, not simple cabbage and radish.
In the Fan family manor, Fan Jingjing is the master.
In the official identity, although Fan Jingjing's status is not as high as Wei Zheng's, but for the emperor's young teacher, his status can be high or low, basically in the official belongs to the existence of equality with anyone, it depends on whether you have weight in your words.
Basically, although he is the teacher of the emperor's son, not every teacher's son of the emperor can talk to the eldest grandson empress, and can also be summoned by the emperor.
The higher a person's position, the more things he has to deal with, the fewer people he can talk to, and he must allocate his time to everyone as much as possible.
"Why, you still have to pay for eating here?"
Wei Zheng walked to Fan Jingjing's side and sat down, he was actually not used to talking to women on an equal footing like this, but what Fan Jingjing did in the Fan family manor was worth his high glance at the other party, so he treated Fan Jingjing equally. Women also have excellent ones, and they can't be treated all together.
"We are not paying money here but paying point cards, I am also a person with a point card here, we don't need to Kaiyuan Tongbao, the number of Kaiyuan Tongbao is really too small, and it is really very inconvenient to do business outside.
It is not as good as our loyalty card that has a smaller face value and can buy some small things, and we can also develop some more distinctive goods to sell to those who need them. ”
"I heard that Fanjia Town can also collect point cards, but it also says ordinary Kaiyuan Tongbao, I look at where they collect money, point cards and Kaiyuan Tongbao are almost visible, and your Fan family manor's consumption capacity is very sufficient."
"We don't object to other people using point cards to spend, but we can't enter the Fan family manor, so if someone else comes to us to do business and wants to exchange for copper coins or point cards, we will follow him, after all, we still have some copper money income, but we will find a way to spend all the copper coins."
"How can you maintain your loyalty card without copper money?"
"Use our body to maintain it, as long as we have enough products, it is enough to exchange the point card for what they need, and the copper coin will not maintain too much on the body."
"What is the reason for the bank opened in Fanjia Town? I've only heard of money banks, but not banks, and I've heard that banks also use point cards to issue them. The paper used in the scorecard should not have appeared in Datang, and others can't imitate it. ”
"I won't be able to imitate it, sooner or later I'll crack it, but then we'll replace it with new banknotes. It is estimated that it is to innovate, that is, to be imitated by others, no matter what, our life will get better and better, until it exceeds a certain critical point. ”
Fan Jingjing misses life in the era of science and technology very much, but he also knows that there are a lot of destructive creatures in the era of science and technology, and they have almost entered a state of mass extinction.
Being starved to death while guarding food is probably a feature of primitive times!
Wei Zheng asked without a word, the doubts in his heart, Fan Jingjing ate without a bite, and answered his question by the way, but when Wei Zheng asked ten questions: "Does Lord Wei have anything you want to eat?" I'll call for you. ”
"Eating here is like taking a tray to a place and ordering it, and then bringing it back, so you don't have to ask me to come by myself.
But use your loyalty card, you said you wanted to eat, I can't miss it. ”
Wei Zheng was not polite to Fan Jingjing at all, in his opinion, his daughter worked for Fan Jingjing, that was to give Fan Jingjing benefits, not Fan Jingjing to give his daughter benefits, of course he wanted to get back a little capital.
I once ate in Fanjia Town, because I saw everywhere in Fanjia Manor that there was no serious sitting down to eat, passing by the skewers, buying a handful of skewers, this time when I took the pot to fill the meals, the table full of meals in the Xiangge was very surprised, there were forty or fifty kinds of meals here, it was beyond imagination, but the amount that a person could eat was only four or five kinds was already very full, but he could notice everyone, and it would not be too much, and he only knew after asking, You can eat as much as you want, but you can't have leftovers, and the price of each meal is the same, which means that you can eat as much as you want.
Wei Zheng returned to his seat and asked Fan Jingjing after the meal, not afraid of others hearing: "Let everyone eat like this, can you still make money?" ”
"You have to feed people, or what else will you do? And it's not easy to eat every day, so everyone will end up measuring how much they should eat and eat as much as they should. ”
"You didn't answer my question, I went to pay just now. It's only two cents for a meal, and this price is not enough to buy rice in Chang'an, not to mention that I want to be full, I want to come here every day to eat! ”
"I don't want to make money, it's just that everyone doesn't have to fire it at home, so the price is some cost price, and if you sell it outside, it will cost at least ten cents. Master Wei, you eat, eat and you will know why it is not a penny, but ten cents. ”
Wei Zheng didn't say much and started eating, after eating, she finally knew why Fan Jingjing said that, the dishes in the Fan family's cafeteria were really delicious, he hadn't eaten them outside, if there were some dishes he hadn't eaten, it would be okay, there were some dishes he had eaten, but he had never eaten such a good taste.
It's not just the chef's problem, it's the taste of the dish itself.
Wei Zheng could barely stop taking one bite after another, the taste here was purer than what he had eaten in Fanjia Town, and after eating, he was not only full, but also satisfied.
"This is the vegetable grown by the Fan family's manor, how can you be willing to give such a good meal to everyone? If you sell it to Chang'an, you can get a higher price. ”
"Eating these dishes can make the body healthier, and of course, the people of the Fan family manor must be healthier in order to be able to do their jobs well."
