Chapter 46: Carp Appreciation (1)
"What a shrewd and capable woman!"
Standing in the corner of the wall, he poked out half of his eyes to look at the young woman in the red dress, seeing that she commanded thousands of people in a circle, but everything was in an orderly posture, Chu Tian couldn't help but praise it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This woman's name is Shang Yan'er, and she is a maid bought by Xun Yu from Renyazi after she came to Qizhou. Because she is very good at pleasing people, Xun Yu is extremely comfortable to serve, and a month later, Xun Yu officially accepted her as a concubine and became Xun Yu's closest personal person in Qizhou.
Xun Yu and those bachelors and doctors of Qishan Academy are all noble people, chanting the wind and the moon every day, drinking poems, occasionally going to Qingliu Xiaozhu to listen to the piano, going to a few green buildings to visit a few familiar girls, and never touching the spring water with ten fingers.
Therefore, in just over a year, Shang Yan'er has mastered all the affairs inside and outside the Academy, from the daily food and drink of the Academy, to various procurement and purchases, and even the daily cleaning and cleaning, and even hiring people to clean the thatched houses, all of which she does herself, as if she is the head of the Qishan Academy with great power.
Shang Yan'er is very good at being a person, and can do things better, below Xun Yu, those bachelors and doctors who have status, status, and fame in the academy are taken care of comfortably, and they don't have to worry about all idle things, so everyone enjoys the comfortable life brought to them by Shang Yan'er with peace of mind, and everyone acquiesces to Shang Yan'er's special status in Qishan Academy.
Today's Dragon Gate Banquet is a big day for Zhou Liuyun to collect disciples and integrate the forces of the three states, and it is also an extremely important day for the Qishan Academy and the forces behind the Qishan Academy.
Shang Yan'er naturally personally coordinated the overall situation, and she personally took care of the tea, snacks, and various dishes and fresh melons and fruits needed for the banquet later.
The land of the three states is vast, and there are hundreds of prefectures and counties, and each prefecture and county has several or dozens of families that have been invited. There were thousands of guests attending the Dragon Gate Banquet today, and the total number of students and disciples of the academy was tens of thousands.
To prepare a feast for so many people, if nothing else, the amount of firewood needed alone is a huge number.
I saw that the back door of the Qishan Academy was open, and many dark-skinned, weather-colored, and knotted men walked in with bundles of firewood and sent the firewood into the firewood room on the side of the dining room.
Ma Laosi, the head of the firewood stall in Qizhou City, which monopolized the daily firewood industry, stood in front of Shang Yan'er with a smile, nodded and smiled at Shang Yan'er: "Madam, don't worry, you will never miss the good things of the academy." Thousands of brothers under our command will provide firewood for the academy today. It was all neatly chopped firewood, not the tattered branches and leaves. ”
Shang Yan'er waved her hand to the powerful Ma Laosi, and said lightly: "That's it, you just keep an eye on it, if you miss today's good deeds, be careful that we pick your skin." Gather more people, fill the firewood room first, and put the extra firewood in the open space over there for later use. ”
"Yo, Lan stall head, what do you say?" Shang Yan'er looked at the meat stall head of Qizhou City standing not far away.
Chu Tian squinted his eyes, the blue stall head still had a little friendship with him, Chu Tian also solved a big trouble for the blue stall head back then, two days ago, in the evening, when Chu Tian took 15,000 taels of red gold out of the city, the street was full of idlers, and only the blue stall head opened his mouth to dissuade him.
The fat and strong blue stall head smiled and saluted Shang Yan'er again and again: "Madame, don't worry, Aunt Shang, you can rest assured, how dare we delay today's good thing?" 500 top black-haired pigs, 300 horned goats, 100 blue-spotted deer, muntjac, roe deer, rabbits, python tendons, bear hearts, leopard gall, all kinds of rare mountain treasures, all properly prepared. ”
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Lan Stalltou said with a dry smile: "Fortunately, these things are prepared in our family's village on weekdays, otherwise as soon as you open your mouth, where can we get so many rare ingredients!"
After laughing a few times, the blue stall lowered his voice again, and said softly: "It's just that this mountain treasure is there, and this water is inside!"
Shang Yan'er smiled lightly, and lightly tapped the blue stall head with her fingers: "With those ten big carps, what kind of fresh water is not good?"
Smiling, Shang Yan'er smiled at the middle-aged man who was standing a few feet away from the head of the blue stall, wearing a silk robe, much richer than the head of the blue stall and Ma Laosi, obviously with a very different level of identity, and smiled: "Ma shopkeeper, where are you here?"
Chu Tian squinted his eyes, Ma Laosi and Lan stall head, one monopolized the supply of firewood in Qizhou City, and the other was the head of all the butcher shops in Qizhou City.
But this Ma shopkeeper, his status in Qizhou City is much higher than that of Chutian and them.
This guy is a merchant, and he is also the only one in Qizhou, specializing in selling all kinds of salted fish, dried abalone, scallops, kelp and other items from the rich state capitals near the sea in the east of the Great Jin Dynasty to Qizhou.
Qizhou is located in the extreme west of the Great Jin Dynasty, and all kinds of dry goods from the sea transported from the extreme east have at least 20 times more profits when they arrive in Qizhou.
Therefore, the Ma shopkeeper is also a big businessman in Qizhou, and the owner of his family was also invited to participate in the Dragon Gate Banquet today, but the Ma shopkeeper was doing business with Shang Yan'er in the backyard.
"Mrs. Shang, rest assured, we have carefully selected all the goods you need on the fold and brought the best inventory. Especially the 800 pairs of dried abalone weighing more than 5 catties, as well as the 300 pairs of sea fins, and the 1,000 catties of whale tendons, all of which are high-quality. ”
Smiling smugly, the hemp shopkeeper squinted and said: "In the east, these things are nothing, but in this city, let's dare to say, this is the only one, except for the Chu family's treasury, hehe, I'm afraid there is no way to find a second one." ”
Chu Tian carefully observed the faces of Shang Yan'er and his party.
When the Ma shopkeeper said the word 'Chu Family', Shang Yan'er and several delicate maids beside her, as well as Lan Stalltou, Ma Laosi, and even the Ma shopkeeper, all showed an extremely weird smile on their faces.
Chu Tian's heart suddenly 'groaned', this is not right, these people don't seem to be just doing business, they seem to be very familiar people!
They're reconciling here, and more, maybe they're just showing it to some people!
Or rather, they're just going through a process that must be carried out without making people suspicious!
Chu Tian hurriedly looked into the distance.
The sturdy men under Ma Laosi are constantly sending firewood to the Qishan Academy.
These men are all powerful, and their steps are as steady as a mountain.
In the open space in the distance, the sturdy butcher under the command of the blue stall head is slaughtering pigs and sheep with a group of men with the same muscles and bones, plus a group of miscellaneous workers who boil water, shave hair, and clean internal organs, and there are thousands of people.
Chu Tian's eyes froze, why didn't he know any of these butchers brought by the blue stall head today?
