Chapter 82 The West Market Meets a Local Tyrant
It was time to go home and rest again, Li Siye went to the West Market to buy some Hu cakes and snacks, and returned to his home in Xuanyangfang.
Li Mei'er rode a bamboo horse and ran in the yard, and when she saw her brother returning, she ran over like a swallow and snatched the snacks from him.
He is already a nine-year-old girl, but he has not yet received an enlightenment education, which is his own sin as an elder brother. You have to spend money to hire a private school teacher for him, as the old saying goes, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children.
Should find a learned person to teach, and don't let those half-bucket showmen mislead people's children, he suddenly remembered Gao Shi of his West City Food Association, this is a great poet, it's him.
Early the next morning, Li Siye brought the restraints needed for apprenticeship and went to Xishi again.
The West Market was closed to the public in the morning, so there was less traffic, so he went straight to the food street where he had rented a shop.
Li Ji green onion cake shop still hangs his old flag, a wrapped head and wearing an old robe, Gao Shi is holding a scroll, the other hand is using a wooden shovel to turn the pancakes on the pan, next to the sand This kid is shouting loudly: "Green onion cake, authentic Li Ji green onion cake, even the saint has praised the green onion cake."
Li Siye walked up to him, but the kid didn't even raise his head, and said, "Lang Jun, do you want to buy a cake, this cake is praised by all the saints."
He raised his head suddenly, and was immediately happy: "Wow, Li Lang, president."
Mi Li excitedly shouted, "The president is back!"
This shout had a very strong effect, and most of the vendors on this street ran over and asked this and that with adoring eyes around Li Siye.
"I heard that the president followed the saint into the palace and became a big official, is this true?"
"Nonsense, don't you see this nine-pronged belt, this is a seven-rank official, equivalent to a county order!"
"The county order can't be compared with Li Lang, this is a close minister of the Son of Heaven!"
Li Siye was a little embarrassed for a while, and let so many people watch, he felt like a monkey. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't block the streets, let's go to the scallion cake shop to talk."
Li Siye and everyone walked into the store, but the store was too small to accommodate so many people, and many people stood outside the door and looked inside.
"Li Lang, president, do you know that you are famous in our West City, and everyone knows that you have impressed the saint by making cakes and cold skins, and you have been made a big official."
"That's right, those of us who are in business are all lowly industries, and it is impossible for us to be officials for the rest of our lives, so you can be regarded as the first time in the West Market."
Immediately afterwards, an abrupt voice sounded: "Li Langjun, you once promised that you would not pass on the skills of Liangpi until we earned all the contribution points, but now you have passed it on to the sage......"
The man's voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last it had become a gnat, almost inaudible. But everyone was still silent, and looked at Li Siye with a resentful gaze like a little daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, this is the cause of their own planting, of course, they have to take advantage of the results, these small traders in the west market come in the wind all day long, go in the rain, and it is not easy for them to work hard.
"Ahem, I'll explain it to you. Actually, I have an ultimate quest here, and you can get 10,000 contribution points by completing it directly. ”
"What task?"
"Whoever can make me see the saint can get 10,000 points of contribution, so the saint has completed the task, and I can only give him the contribution points."
The atmosphere in the store suddenly quieted down, and it seemed that they were all looking for a logical loophole in this sentence, and Gao Shi, who was standing at the door of the store, suddenly laughed and whispered: "Cunning."
The crowd shouted loudly again: "You can't do this, President, aren't you cheating?"
Li Siye rolled his eyes at Gao Shi, and hurriedly waved his hand to everyone and said, "Don't worry, everyone, although this cool skin formula has entered the palace, isn't it not available in the West Market?" Our Food Guild Contribution Points are still valid, and I'll be posting follow-up quests until you have accumulated 10,000 Contributions. ”
Now everyone quarreled again: "Then you hurry up and release the task, we are all waiting to earn contribution points."
Li Siye lowered his head and thought for a while, it seemed that there was nothing to mobilize the masses for the time being, but the enthusiasm of the crowd was high, so he had to think about it for a while before he spoke:
"In this way, I will issue a business task, that is, you each develop your own store, increase your efforts to make money, whoever has the first funds in hand to reach 100,000 yuan, I will reward you with 2,000 contribution points."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other, what kind of task is this, encouraging everyone to make money, whoever has more money can learn the cool skin formula?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd stretched out his hand and said proudly, "Me!"
Li Siye looked up, only to see that this hand walked in front of him from the crowd, but it was a Hu man from the Western Regions, bent over and hugged his chest and said: "The president is really generous, I have a hundred yuan in my family now, if the president doesn't believe it, you can go with me to see it."
Li Siye wanted to burst into foul language, you already have so much fucking money at home, why do you have to come and learn this recipe from everyone.
"What's your name?"
"President, my name is Zhang Gui, I am a native of Dunhuang, Shazhou, and I have a family business in Dunhuang and Chang'an."
Li Siye grabbed his head vigorously, stretched out his hand at Gao Shi and said, "Gao Shi, take a look at the account books, does our association have this Zhang Gui?" When did he join, how do I not know?"
Zhang Gui was still smiling, as if he was not in a hurry at all.
"Oh." Gao Shi hurriedly opened the account book, checked it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, there is this Zhang Gui, he joined the association on the day it was founded,"
Li Siye hesitated for a moment, and said to everyone with a haha: "You just heard it wrong, whoever took the lead in saving enough money for one million yuan will be rewarded with two thousand contribution points."
As a result, this Zhang Gui raised his hand again: "Me."
This time Li Siye had to be surprised: "Brother Zhang, I'm talking about this, I'm talking about cash, one million."
Zhang Gui nodded modestly and said, "That's right, but I have to go home and withdraw the gold and exchange it for cash in the East Market, more than one million."
Li Siye raised his head and raised his mouth and asked, "Are you a local tyrant?"
Zhang Gui smiled honestly: "I'm a little proud, but I'm not dirty at all."
There's no way, he can't raise the standard to 10 million yuan, in case the other party has it, he won't be able to get off the stage, which makes the other brothers of the association how to mix.
Li Siye discussed and asked him: "You are so rich, why do you want to rarity this cool skin formula?"
"Don't tell you, President, ever since you got this cool skin out, my mouth has been hungry, and I'm bent on learning this thing. I also have great respect for the president in my heart, and I hope that the president will come to my home when he comes to Shazhou. ”
"Okay," Li Siye had no choice but to ask Gao Shi to record two thousand contributions under Zhang Gui's name.
The rest of the people could only leave helplessly, but Zhang Gui still didn't leave, and followed in front of Li Siye.
"Why are you staying here?"
Zhang Gui said with a smile: "I have always been very trustworthy, in order to show my sincerity, I would like to ask the president to come to my home to inspect."
