Chapter Eighty-Three: Famous Confucianism
There are at least a dozen large and small loading and unloading teams on the wharf, and the largest ones are Foreman Sun and Lao Liu. At their peak, these two foremen had hundreds of dock workers, who could take over the business of five or six ships at the same time. Some big deals are almost monopolized by two people.
Naturally, both of them regard each other as competitors, and there is no fight on the surface, but they compete for business with each other secretly, but it happens from time to time. Foreman Sun lasted for two days in a row, and because of the little girl's dishes, he pulled two big customers, and he was very happy in his heart, thinking about whether he should win over this little girl.
The dock workers were holding back their strength, and the goods that could have been unloaded in an hour and a half were completed in less than an hour today. The owner of the goods was surprised, quite felt that this loading and unloading team was efficient, secretly made a note of it, and asked them to load and unload next time. Xiaocao inadvertently helped Foreman Sun win over a regular customer.
"Little grass girl, bring me two meat dishes today. Last night, I brought home the braised vegetables I bought from you, and the two children ate them cutely. My mother-in-law still complained to me, why don't you buy more meat and vegetables for such a cheap price! "Lao Hao, who was the first to try her braised vegetables yesterday, was the first to rush to her today, and she couldn't care about wiping it off with sweat on her head.
"Okay! Two servings of pickled vegetables, stones, collect money! Xiaocao saw a group of people who were pressed by the black, followed behind Lao Hao, and came over to this side, busy dividing labor for his younger brother.
"Yes! Uncle Hao, two copies for a total of two cents! Xiaoshi stretched out his little hand, with a smile on his face, and a pair of big eyes with a god, narrowed into a slit. That appearance is similar to that of a lucky boy.
Lao Hao paid the money happily, took two oil paper bags, bought two steamed buns, and ate them in a big gulp with braised vegetables. As soon as he opened the paper bag, he found that today's meat dishes were different from yesterday's, but they tasted more satisfying than yesterday's. He regretted it a little, he should have bought an extra one......
Look at the place where pickled vegetables are sold, the small figures of the sister and brother have long been submerged by the sea of people. At this time, if you squeeze in again, I'm afraid that there will be no slag. Lao Hao sighed and savored it in small bites, for fear that he would eat quickly and miss this delicious taste with fragrant teeth.
"Little grass girl, I want a ......"
"Stone, stone! Take my money first, give it to ...... Two articles, you take it! ”
"I want three, keep me three! You livestock, don't rob them all, I didn't taste the old paper yesterday......"
"I've given money, give me a copy...... Huzi, what are you squeezing? I almost knocked out the girl! ”
……
Xiao Shi's hands were sore when he collected the money, and he felt that countless hands were stuffing copper plates into his hands. Later, he didn't know who stuffed the money in his hand. Secretly distressed in his heart, his little face wrinkled into a bun.
Fortunately, most of the dock workers are real people, and no one cares about the one or two copper plates, but they haven't found any fishing in troubled waters.
Fortunately, today's pickled vegetables are much prepared, and after a period of coaxing, there are still more than a dozen pickled vegetables left in the basket. Because of the cost, a portion of braised vegetables is a little less than yesterday's, but there is also a small half bowl, and one person can eat enough steamed buns.
The passenger ship had already docked, and this was the place to go to the market and the town, and the people who came off the boat, looking at the lively scene here, couldn't help but glance at it curiously.
"Huh? There are so many people around there, what are you doing? Yunxi, what did you go to investigate......
A crane-haired childish face, a few beautiful hairs on his lips, and a wise glint in his eyes, his erudition and elegance are evident in his gestures. However, the gossip fire he exuded at this time seemed to be quite counterproductive to his identity.
What he called "Yunxi" was a teenager, dressed in a moon-white robe, covered with a light blue jacket, with a small face made of pink and jade, male and female, and his good-looking lips pursed into a straight line, as if he felt helpless about his grandfather's gossip.
However, although he was very resistant to huddle in a group of rough people, he went to see what was going on inside. can know his grandfather, if he doesn't figure out the situation, grandpa won't give up. The little one, who is in his teens, pacing steadily and walking towards the goal unhurriedly.
"Mr. Yuan! It's been a hard journey, the carriage is over there, please move over...... "The people who came were dressed in flowers, as if they didn't know that they were rich." From the clothes to the shoes, everything is gorgeous to the extreme.
Yuan Sinian, a famous Confucian in the former dynasty and the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, also admired his learning very much, and invited him to study in the palace many times, but he was politely rejected by him because of his poor health. Later, when the country was in turmoil, he took his family to live in seclusion in the mountains and started a seclusion.
Until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the current Emperor Taishang was thirsty for talent, and asked him to go out of the mountain as an official, but he avoided it. Later, he was moved by the perseverance of the Emperor Taishang, and recommended his son Yuan Guoan, who was not inferior to his knowledge and knowledge, that is, the iron-faced prime minister who always followed the emperor's ass to clean up the mess, and was above 10,000 people under one person.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang, who was still the emperor at that time, was obsessed with the southern conquest and the northern war.
After the current emperor ascended the throne, Prime Minister Yuan was crowned the prince of the country, hereditary replacement, and he was favored by the court for a while, and he was in the limelight.
Yuan Sinian, a famous Confucian in the ancient years, was accustomed to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, and founded Rongxuan Academy in the small town of Tanggu. In the beginning, I taught and tended with flowers and plants every day, and my life was quite leisurely.
Later, more and more people came to visit, and many high-ranking officials in the capital tried their best to trust their relationships and send their children over. The number of students in the academy is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many famous teachers who have recommended themselves to be gentlemen, including his former disciples......
Yuan Daru saw that Rongxuan Academy was about to move away from his original intention, so he set strict admission rules. If you want to enter the academy, you can! Either get his eye or pass a rigorous entrance test. Otherwise, no matter how big your official is and how much money you have, you won't accept the old paper......
Although Yuan Sinian's appearance is extremely in line with the impression of outsiders on celebrities, he is an old naughty boy in his bones, curious, gossipy, and a little, good food - very few people know this, otherwise, in order to enter the academy to collect the world's delicacies, his parents can't control it!
For the sake of their children's future, there are many people who try their best to offer their courtesy to Yuan Daru. No, the glittering fat man in front of him is one of them.
Yuan Daru frowned, quietly rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you say that no one is allowed to pick up the boat?" Shopkeeper Jin, you are blatantly not taking the old man's words in your eyes! ”
But I was complaining in my heart: You, why don't you use gold to create a pair of armor to wear on your body, the old paper eyes are not good, this is the rhythm of the old paper eyes?
The round golden shopkeeper, the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and suddenly sweat flowed down the cheeks full of fat. The Jin family has been passed down from generation to generation. Although the family property is thousands, it is at the bottom of the "Shinong Industry and Commerce".
Today, after his accession to the throne, the Holy Lord issued a decree to improve the status of merchants, and the children of merchants were able to participate in the imperial examinations. The golden shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he thought that he could hire the best gentleman for his son, who had been smart since childhood, and hoped that he could get rid of the fate of the merchant.
I heard that there is a Rongxuan Academy in Tanggu, which was founded by a famous Confucian in the previous dynasty, and he is very knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable, and the current prime minister is taught by him. The golden shopkeeper took his son and traveled thousands of miles north to Tanggu, and it is proud that his son passed the test of the academy at once and officially became a student of the academy.
But the bad thing is that the gold shopkeeper felt sorry for his son to leave his hometown to study, and it was the first time he left home, for fear that his son would be wronged, so he arranged his son's dormitory in the academy to be splendid, and replaced everything with the best, even the inkstone and pen wash used are valuable antiques. It's very eye-catching in the academy.
This made the moody Mr. Yuan know, so he returned his son with a sentence: "I am here to study in the academy, not to enjoy." If you are afraid that your son will suffer, take it back and enjoy it! ”
The golden shopkeeper was dumbfounded, he also pointed to his son Guangzong Yaozu, who knew that he had not been enrolled in school for a few days, and he was kicked out because of his mistake as a father. The son was so angry that he didn't eat or drink for a few days, he was bedridden, he regretted that his hair was half white in his prime, and he didn't want to be the golden shopkeeper who ruined his son's life, and staged a drama of pleading guilty every day.
It can be seen that Mr. Yuan's opportunities are few and far between, and not long after the college has annual vacation, Mr. Yuan also takes his grandson back to his hometown to visit relatives. He didn't give up, he didn't even go home for the New Year, and kept staying in Tanggu, hoping to find an opportunity to atone for his sins.
After the first month, he stayed at the dock in Tanggu every day, hoping that Mr. Yuan could see his sincerity and give his son a chance. Finally, let him wait, but he didn't expect it...... He seems to have upset Mr. again.
The golden shopkeeper was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't know what to do, so he was in a hurry. Mr. Yuan's grandson, Yuan Yunxi, came back slowly and said to the gossipy grandfather: "It's nothing, it's just a ...... that sells a kind of food called 'braised vegetables'."
"Braised vegetables? Eat? I haven't heard of it yet, is it delicious? With so many people buying around, it must taste good! As soon as he heard the new dish, Yuan Sinian's eyes suddenly burst into a scorching light, where is there still the demeanor of Confucianism, full of a fanatical glutton.
The golden shopkeeper was worried that he didn't know how to please Yuan Daru, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yuan, you first find a place to sit down and rest, and I'll go and see ......."
His fat body, like a golden ball, rolled quickly to Xiaocao's side: "Little girl, I have all the pickled vegetables you have here......"
