Chapter 67: Jumping the pit
Early the next morning, by the dock of the cargo ship.
Jiang Han hurriedly walked from the warehouse with a basket.
The basket had already been half emptied of the warehouse area, and after her persuasion, she had also managed to get a pre-order for thirty buns.
She put down the basket, took out the banner from her arms and hung it, waved her hand to the crowd, and shouted: "The buns are here!" ”
After a while, someone surrounded him, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one layer of buns left.
She looked at the remaining buns with satisfaction, twenty more than yesterday, and the rest of the way back would be sold.
With that in mind, she bent down and carefully picked up the banner from her shoulder.
At this moment, another person came next to him.
She didn't raise her head and asked, "Big brother, how many buns do you want?" ”
The man didn't answer, but read slowly: "Inspection, special approval?" The Jiang family's big bag? Official, why don't you know about this? ”
When Jiang Han heard this "official", his heart was groaning, and his hands trembled, and he almost didn't tear the red paper on the white cloth.
She slowly straightened up and turned awkwardly to face Lord Shen, who had suddenly arrived.
I thought, I really can't do bad things behind my back, this piece has only been used for two days, and it was arrested.
"My lord, you, you come, come to the dock to observe the people's feelings!" She laughed dryly, pulled down the other end of the banner, and rolled up the banner with a smooth movement, "You're busy with you, I'm already going to close the stall!" ”
"Bring it." Lord Shen stretched out his hand to her.
"What? Uh, do you want to try my buns? It's fragrant, and now it's popular on this pier...... Hey, what are you doing? Jiang Han pretended not to know, and hid the banner in his hand behind him.
But before she finished speaking, Lord Shen's body shook one side of her hand and snatched the banner away from behind her.
He shook the banner open, looked at it and asked, "Words, not bad." What did you write? ”
Jiang Han nodded casually and looked at the other party cautiously.
As soon as this big black face appeared today, he didn't use his momentum to overwhelm people.
It seems that he is in a good mood this morning.
Thinking like this, her heart relaxed, and her state returned to normal.
"Yes, I wrote it! My lord, although I wrote this, but you also allowed it, you can't lock me up again because I wrote these words! ”
"This official allows? Why doesn't the official know? Lord Shen tucked the banner into his arms, stared at her for a long time, and asked.
Jiang Han was stared at by him, and his body was a little stiff.
She complained in her heart: "Here it is again, why does this person always like to keep his dark eyes open and stare at people." ”
But he said with a dry smile: "You are busy, but I remember it very clearly!" That day in the hall, didn't you ask Huang Youneng - why I was not allowed to sell steamed buns - you asked the person who did not allow me to sell steamed buns, why I was not allowed to sell them, the implication is that you allowed me to sell steamed buns at the dock! You are an inspector, don't you agree to be a 'special approval for inspection'......"
"Strong words! This official, a routine matter, but you are using this to fake an official order......"
Seeing that his face sank, she hurriedly defended: "Don't, don't nail you to death with a rake first, I can be regarded as helping you like this!" ”
"Really, listen to me!"
Lord Shen had a dark face, his hands behind his back, and waited for her to explain without saying a word.
She glanced up at him, swallowed her saliva, and suddenly moved closer to him.
A burst of bun incense followed her movements, rushing towards the tip of his nose, which was not so bad but not so annoying.
I only heard her whisper: "Now, the people on this dock, whether they are ruffians or coolie dartmen, or even those merchants, only have superficial respect for you. Although you were appointed by the imperial court and have dozens of archers under your command, it is not you who really has the final say on this dock, but the three masters of Huangma Chen, who have occupied the dock for many years. Am I right? ”
Lord Shen raised an eyebrow and motioned for her to continue.
"These masters are not only entrenched in the docks, but the forces are estimated to have infiltrated your inspection department a long time ago. It's a headache for you, but you're a newcomer, and you can't find a place to start, you can't establish your prestige, and if you don't have prestige, you're in that position equal to zero! ”
"And I'm here to help you establish your prestige!"
"How do you help your own official and establish your prestige?" Lord Shen asked her with interest.
"I'm helping you build your credibility right now! Huang Youneng didn't allow me to sell steamed buns, he entered the class room, but you specially approved the small ones and continued to sell steamed buns here, and Huang Youneng is Huang Sanye's person, what does all this mean? Explanation, in the end, this pier is still up to you! Whoever has the final say has prestige! I sell buns here safely, which is the embodiment of your prestige! ”
Lord Shen took a half step back, looked at the busy dock in the distance, and nodded solemnly, as if accepting her statement.
He said in an overly solemn voice: "In this way, the prestige of this official should be tied to the buns. ”
"It turns out that the inspector who sells steamed buns can be awe-inspiring!"
Jiang Han ignored the implicit sarcasm in his tone and replied: "My lord, it's me who sells steamed buns, I'll charge you, you can stand firmly behind!" Don't look down on selling steamed buns, everything comes little by little, let's tear a hole through the sale of steamed buns, and slowly erode their power! In the future, you can also sell other things! ”
"In this way, it is specially approved by the official, is it necessary, in exchange for the price?" Lord Shen withdrew his gaze and looked down at her.
"Yes, in the future, if someone wants to get your special approval, you can set some standards for issuing special approvals. For example, to get a special approval, you need to apply to the applicant, pay some fees, or do something - you can approve it only if it satisfies you! You think I'm a good idea, don't you? She said with a grin.
Lord Shen slightly hooked the corner of his right lip and echoed: "Not bad." ”
"However, without the permission of this official, you made your own decision and put up the banner of special approval - should you pay a higher price?"
Jiang Han was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Did she dig a pit by herself, jumped down, and offered to give money to the people?
"I, the little one is the first, it's always special - in order to open the scene, the first one is free! You just see that the little one made the first person to eat crabs for you, and the price is forgotten! She complimented.
Lord Shen shook his head firmly: "This official thinks that it can't be free." ”
The official thinks, the official thinks, it's just a nine-grade broken inspection, who is putting such a big official shelf for?
Isn't it just that the cat smells fishy and wants to ask me for money?
Look at your big black face, it's no different from those ruffian bullies, but it's just an officially certified bully.
Jiang Han slandered wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face.
She rolled her eyes and said, "My lord, since you have a request, the little one doesn't dare to disobey, what do you think of this?" How do you think the small one will contribute one-tenth of the monthly net profit to you? Selling buns is a small business......"
"Don't want silver, this official is not a bully." Lord Shen shook his head and vetoed.
It turns out that I don't want silver, that is, I have something to ask her, and I just say it directly if I ask her to do something, I have to go around such a big circle.
What a twisted person!
Thinking of this, she said with a smile on her face: "My lord, since you don't want silver, what can you do for adults?" The small ones will definitely go to the soup and fire for you! ”
