Chapter 180: White Fang Rice
"Girl, what do you burn at home, so fragrant?" Hou San went out to sell wine and cut meat, and after a while, the rice was also fully cooked, and a fragrance drilled out through the crack in the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and an old man pushed the door in, shouting at the top of his voice.
"Dad, you're here. Mrs. Hou hurriedly welcomed the old man in, the old man hunched his waist, his spirit was strong, and he walked in with a smile.
"What kind of rice do you make?
"This is brought back by Hou San, it's quite expensive. Although this rice is very fragrant, Mrs. Hou still has some complaints. The family is not very rich, and what to eat is not food. These bowls of rice are more expensive than wine and meat.
"I'll try it. The old man didn't care about his daughter's complaints, anyway, the money was not from him, and he didn't feel distressed, even if he took a bowl and picked up a pair of chopsticks to pick up the rice.
Just after taking the first bite, his eyes changed, as if coated with a layer of light. This rice is really delicious, he has lived for more than fifty years, although he cannot say how rich he is, but he has eaten a lot of all kinds of rice, but he has never tasted rice like this, and he even feels that this is not something that should be in the mortal world.
No matter what kind of rice it is, no matter how delicious it is, if you don't add side dishes, you will feel dull if you eat too much. But this rice is different, and it has an instinctive attraction to you.
After a bowl of rice, the old man even felt a warm feeling rising in his muscles and bones. He used to dig lotus roots in the ground, and often needed to soak in cold water, and his body had already fallen into the root of the disease, and he often felt that his bones were tingling. But after eating this bowl of rice, he felt that his bones were steaming out, which was very comfortable.
"Happy! What kind of rice is this, I'll go back and buy some. After eating a bowl of rice, the old man felt as if he had drunk a big bowl of wine, and his whole body was warm, so he shouted at his daughter and son-in-law.
"Dad, this rice thief is expensive, don't think about it when you're old. Hou San pursed his lips, you can pull it, ten taels of silver and one stone of rice, just your old family, wash and sleep.
"Hey, you kid, my old man is so poor. The old man glared at him, isn't it just a little rice, no matter how expensive it is, where can it go?
"I bought six catties, and it cost me half of my money, you can count it yourself. Hou San shrank his head, pinched a piece of bacon from the table, and smiled.
The old man immediately wilted, poured a large bowl of wine from the jar, and took a sip.
......
Within three days, the rice sold by the Fang family became completely famous in Changning County. I don't know who was the first to discover the deliciousness of this rice, and I don't know who was the first to promote the taste of this rice. Anyway, people who have rice quickly make a pot of rice to taste the taste, while those who don't have rice find a way to eat the whole rice.
According to the news from the Fang family, this rice is said to have been produced from Baiya Village, so it is called Baiya rice. But because the people spread falsehood, and because the grains of rice were slender and like sharp teeth, they were called white-toothed rice.
"Young master, the heads of many shops are here, do you want to meet?" Fang Hong was practicing knives in the house, and the shopkeeper Zhao came to the door with a look of joy on his face.
"No hurry, wait. Although the white tooth rice outside was already extremely hot, Fang Hong seemed very calm. What should I do, I will never let foreign affairs affect my mind.
He was more and more deeply infected by divinity, not only did his thinking become cold and lively, but his personality also changed, and he had a somewhat stable posture.
"What the hell is the Fang family child doing? No matter what we say, we can be regarded as his elders, he must be too slow. In the back hall of Fang's rice shop, more than a dozen squires and wealthy merchants dressed in brocade clothes sat on the seats. After taking a big sip of tea, one person said with some anger.
These people are the real heads of each rice shop, and unlike those shopkeepers, they can speak, and their words and deeds can affect the family's decision-making.
"Now we are begging people, and of course they have to hold the shelf. A tall and thin man in his thirties turned the white jade wrench in his hand and said in a strange way.
"The shopkeeper of our house has been dismissed by me, and the old and dizzy things, such good rice are pushed out of the door like this, if it were me, I would have bought it all at that time. The man who spoke first became angry when he heard this.
And the rest of the people heard this, and only laughed in their hearts. You just blow it, who won't put it as an afterthought? What's the use of talking about this now? Don't you have to get on the pole and beg for help?
It had been an hour later, just when everyone's patience was about to run out, Fang Hong was late.
"Guys, I've been waiting a long time. Fang Hong walked into the back hall, arched his hand towards everyone, and didn't wait for everyone to return the salute, so he sat straight on the main seat.
"Young Master Fang. Everyone present looked a little worried, this move was too frivolous, and he and the others were in the same class as his father, so he was a little unreasonable. However, they now have to ask for help, even if they are not happy.
"I also know your intentions, and I don't talk nonsense, the price is fifty taels of silver and one stone. Fang Hong picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip of tea, and said straight to the point.
"What? Fifty taels of silver? Why don't you go and grab it?" As soon as he finished speaking, a squire immediately stood up, and his voice rose a little.
"Let's not do illegal things, besides, how can robbing money come quickly, sixty taels and one stone. Fang Hong laughed, do you like to buy it.
"You ......" Everyone present felt a breath of sullen air in their hearts. This person doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, he does business, pays attention to coming and going, and once he will do business. Thinking that he is so aggressive, how can anyone dare to do business with him in the future?
"Young Master Fang, we don't have this kind of business, we have to make some profits when we do business, you can't let us lose money and make money. The faces of the crowd were very ugly, so they said to Fang Hong with a calm face.
"The door is not closed, if you are afraid of losing money, then go out and turn left, seventy taels and one stone. Fang Hong didn't believe in such words at all, with the magic and deliciousness of white tooth rice, the significance has surpassed ordinary commodities. If you eat it yourself, it's definitely not cost-effective, but if you give it as a gift, the value is different.
Some dignitaries, what good things have you not seen? But if you send some rice that they haven't eaten when you're looking for someone to do something, it won't be more effective than using a thousand taels of silver.
