Chapter 11: Shake hands with good friends
Si Xingfang was the same as the first time he came, he still couldn't keep up with Ma Hanshan's jumping thinking and emotional changes, he didn't understand, just now he saw the expression of the owner of the horse village as if he was constipated, why did he suddenly smile again?
Don't say that Si Xingfang, even Ah Niu, who stays by his side every day, can't keep up with Ma Hanshan's emotions and rhythm of speech, and he doesn't follow the routine at all.
So why did Mahanshan suddenly laugh again? Of course, there is a reason, he suddenly felt that the owner of the department can be a business manager... Specializing in the promotion of the products of the tile cylinder village.
"Master Si Dadong, I said last time that you didn't want to borrow a hundred catties of tea, why now... What kind of operation do you have? Entering the reception room next to the Juyi Hall, which had just been completed not long ago, Ma Hanshan asked with a smile after the guest and host sat down.
"The owner of the horse village, please forgive me, I really have eyes and don't know gold and jade, I misunderstood the owner of the village last time." Si Xingfang stood up and bowed to Ma Hanshan very ashamedly.
Last time, Ma Hanshan gave him two catties of green incense, and he thought it was a low-grade thing that no one wanted, so he gave it to a friend in Jingzhao Mansion after he went back, who knew that the friend had recently come to him to ask for this kind of clear water tea, and was willing to buy it at a high price. It was not until this time that the Si Xingfang knew that the last time he went to Wagang Village, Ma Hanshan invited him to drink this kind of tea not to look down on him, but to treat him as a VIP.
Mistaking kindness for ruthlessness, so he is ashamed now.
"Haha, Lord Sidong sits... It doesn't have to be like this, we're friends...... Master Sidong, shouldn't you introduce this friend? Ma Hanshan looked at the uncle who came with Si Xingfang and said.
"Oh... Excuse me... Sorry, I almost forgot. He turned to the man sitting next to him and said, "Brother Wang, this is the master of the horse village, and the green tea is from his hand." The owner of Ma Zhai, this friend Wang Zhitan. ”
"Hello... Hello....... ”
"Luckily... Fortunately, ....... ”
Both stood up and approached each other, but Ma Hanshan reached out to shake each other, while Wang Zhitan hugged his fists.
"Brother Wang, we are here to implement a new ceremony, we don't make a gesture when we meet, but shake hands, come, let's shake a... Shake hands with good friends Ha ....... "Ma Hanshan is determined to carry out the handshake ceremony brought from his previous life, and he hates to bow at every turn.
"Ahh ...... shaking hands with good friends? Wang Zhitan stretched out his hand and shook Ma Hanshan, what he didn't know was that this sentence shook hands with a good friend, and it was another time and space to teach children to speak.
The two shook hands and sat down again, Ma Hanshan looked at Si Xingfang and said, "Master Sidong, I'm sorry to tell you that the current tea is not borrowed, because you will never return such tea to me." ”
"That's... Ma Zhai owner, I can buy it....... The priest said with a wry smile.
"Of course you can, the green incense is three taels of silver a catty, and you can also give the copper three times." Ma Hanshan smiled and said, Okay, you can go to the road. Of course, you can buy it, but you can't buy it.
"Huh? So expensive? The priest exclaimed in surprise.
"There are also cheap ones, you can buy red rhyme, as long as 800 wen is enough." Ma Hanshan said with a profiteer's face.
"Red rhyme? How is it? Wang Zhitan interjected.
"Ah Niu... Why is it still so uneye-catching, soak a pot of red rhyme for guests. Ma Hanshan said with a smile, "Green fragrance is green tea, and red rhyme is of course black tea." As for the taste, it varies. ”
After a while, Ah Niu brewed a pot of red rhyme and sent it, Wang Zhitan drank a cup, frowned and said, "This tea is not the same grade as green rhyme." ”
"Of course, this tea is only 800 Wen. However, even this tea is better than the tea outside. Ma Hanshan said confidently.
"Well, the taste of tea is indeed sweeter, and eight hundred wen is indeed not expensive." After Wang Zhitan finished speaking, he glanced at Si Xingfang, and there was information in his eyes that they could only understand.
Si Xingfang nodded imperceptibly and said: "Master of the horse village, we can buy it, the price you say three taels will be three taels, but... But can we owe a little money? ”
Hehe, how much to buy, you still owe a little.
"How much does the Cave Master plan to buy?" Ma Hanshan smiled.
"Let's buy ten catties of green incense, this... Can you give us two catties of this red rhyme? Si Xingfang's face turned red again as he spoke.
Don't think that the thieves are shameless, the company thinks it's really embarrassing to ask Ma Hanshan to give credit while letting others send tea.
Ten pounds... Well, ten catties will cost thirty taels, and for a thief who had to borrow grain a while ago, thirty taels should also be a large amount.
Alas, these days, the bandits are not having a good time.
"Where is Brother Wang?" Ma Hanshan turned on his jump chat mode again, and suddenly asked Wang Zhitan about his work.
"It's rude, a certain used to be a small official in Jingzhao Mansion, and now he can be regarded as unemployed." Wang Zhitan paused for a moment and said, "Jingzhao Mansion is the old capital of the former dynasty, and many powerful people in the mansion like this kind of tea, and a certain person bought tea just to ask for a job ....... ”
"It turned out to be bought as a gift... But then, when will you be able to make the money and pay the money you owe? Ma Hanshan glanced at him and said, "I look at Brother Wang's face, it's not suitable for a career, it's better to partner with the master of Sidong... Oh, I'm not asking you to partner up as bandits, bandits have nothing to do, and I won't be a bandit anymore. I mean, you can do business in partnership. ”
"Doing business? Oh... You mean business? Wang Zhitan's face was a little unsightly.
His face is not good-looking, just because in this era of this time and space, like the ancient time of the time and space where Mahan Mountain came, the status of merchants is very low. The status of a merchant is not as good as that of a craftsman who strikes iron. Therefore, in this era, persuading people to do business is equivalent to scolding people. Just like the scolding in Mahanshan's previous life, you can't read the book well, so let's go and see which site to move bricks......
Damn, this is looking down on people.
However, Ma Hanshan did not look down on Wang Zhitan, because in his concept, businessmen are very awesome.
"Yes, as a small official, how much salary do you get a month, I don't think it will be more than two catties of green incense." Mahanshan conjecture.
Although Da Song was cut off half of the country by Donghu, Da Song was the richest dynasty in the history of this time and space, and it was also the era with the highest salary. In this era, the Fenglu of a county is 15 taels of silver and other benefits equivalent to 20 taels of silver, so the salary of the Southern Song Dynasty officials is really more than two catties of green incense.
However, the Donghu conquest for many years cost a lot, and the Hu people who invaded the south almost did not produce. Therefore, at this time, of course, the salary of the little official can't afford to buy two catties of green incense.
"Master Ma Zhai, you... Do you think a certain can only be a business? Wang Zhitan asked with angry eyes.
Ma Hanshan glanced at him and suddenly laughed.
He thinks that these people are really ridiculous, fuck, they actually think that a small official has more status and face than a businessman.
"You, the master of the horse village... What are you laughing at....... Wang Zhitan was even angrier.
"Brother Wang, suddenly, our village master is superior in wisdom, his eyes are like torches, it is definitely not the kind of meaning you think, in his eyes, businessmen have more status than a small official, Shinong and industrialist, in his eyes, scholars are simply bullshit." Qi Nanyue, who was accompanying him on the side, saw that Wang Zhitan was unhappy, and hurriedly interjected to explain.
Of course, Ma Hanshan hasn't said anything like bullshit, it's his guess that Ma Hanshan is thinking.
"Haha, yes, yes, the scholar is like bullshit in my eyes, let alone a small official. On the contrary, in my eyes the merchant is very important, and if there is no merchant, the high men would not even be able to find food, let alone gold and silver, and brocade and satin. Brother Wang, you are suitable for business, really, if you listen to me, I will be able to make you a few hundred taels of silver immediately. Ma Hanshan said with a laugh.
"That's really ......." Si Xingfang exclaimed and asked, before he became a thief, he was a small soldier, and he was a small craftsman, not to mention that he earned hundreds of taels of silver at a time, and he never saw hundreds of taels of silver at a time, can he not scream.
"Haha... Amusing... Amusing....... Wang Zhitan suddenly laughed.
"Hehe, you think it's ridiculous, that's because your vision limits your cognition, and in your opinion, it's very difficult to earn a few hundred taels of silver at once. But in my opinion, not to mention a few hundred taels of silver, it is thousands, tens of thousands of taels of silver are trivial. Ma Hanshan looked at Wang Zhitan and said lightly, "You will definitely say, if you make money so easily, why do you want to be a thief." ”
There was a smile on the corner of Wang Zhitan's mouth, and it was obvious that he was thinking so.
Ma Hanshan shook his head lightly, sighed and said, "Alas, it's terrible to be uneducated...... ”
Qi Nanyue said in his heart, is it not the meaning of not reading without culture? However, you have only just learned the Analects, and you don't hate reading people, don't you?
Wang Zhitan didn't know what it meant to be uneducated, but he knew that Ma Hanshan was laughing at him, and he was about to speak to refute, but Ma Hanshan waved his hand to stop him.
Ma Hanshan glanced at Wang Zhitan and Si Xingfang and said: "I said that the tile tank village is no longer a thief, we are the people, and we are good people. And, soon, they will become rich and good citizens. ”
"Master Sidong, do you believe that you can earn a few hundred taels of silver in a month?" Ma Hanshan ignored the little official Wang Zhitan and continued to tempt the priest.
Although Si Xingfang didn't believe it very much in his heart, he still nodded vigorously in approval.
Ma Hanshan smiled and said: "Okay, since the master of the cave believes, then listen to me, you don't want to be a thief in the future, give me a salesman in the tile pot village." ”
"What is a salesman?" The driver scratched his head.
"Alas, you don't have to figure out what a salesman is, I just want to say that if you listen to me now, you can earn a few hundred taels of silver in no time." Ma Hanshan decided to hand over this business from Bianliang to the Si Xing Fang, he smiled and continued, "You only need to send a thousand catties of tea to Bianliang City to earn a few hundred taels of silver." ”
"Sending thousands of catties of tea to Bianliang can earn a few hundred taels of silver? Master Ma Zhai, you're not kidding us. Wang Zhitan was finally surprised, this... It's too easy to make money.
"There is a Hu merchant in Bianliang who needs 1,000 catties of red rhyme tea and 200 catties of green incense. The delivery price is 800 wen and 3 taels of silver respectively, if you only need to pay 500 wen and 2 taels of silver per catty of these tea leaves....... Ma Hanshan stood up and said, "You don't have to worry about the capital, I can let you pay on credit, the account, you can settle the account flexibly in a variety of ways, what do you think of this transaction?" ”
