Chapter 012: The emperor travels to Wuling County together
The traffic is busy, and the river is endless.
South Street is as lively as a big city.
But there are many things that cannot be seen in the big cities.
Li Shimin and the two were like children, looking at everything in front of them with novelty.
"Chilled watermelon juice, delicious and cheap!"
"Popcorn, fragrant popcorn!"
"Fruit platter, fresh fruit platter!"
Street shops, stalls at the door, sales staff enthusiastically promote products.
Every time he comes to South Street, Fang Yuan feels like he is in a modern city and enjoys the convenience of modern urban life.
This was built by Fang Yuan in five years, and it is the most lively place in Wuling County, which supports most of the county's economy.
"Chilled watermelon juice?"
"Boss, where did you get your ice?"
Li Shimin's expression moved, and he took a few steps forward quickly and asked.
Mayday, the ice stored by the royal family last winter has been used up, but the ordinary traders in Wuling County have?
If a single family has ice, it can be considered special, but there are several shops selling chilled watermelons on the scene, which shows that ice cubes are common in Wuling County.
"Oh, I bought it from the Mojia Research Institute."
"Boss, would you like some chilled watermelon juice? Good to drink and cheap. ”
The owner of the store replied in a friendly manner, and by the way, he recommended his own products.
"What is the Mohist Research Institute?"
Li Shimin was puzzled and asked.
His first reaction was the Mo family among the hundred sons.
But the branches of the Mo family only have the ink of the Xiangli clan, the ink of the Xiangfu clan, and the ink of the Deng Ling clan, when will there be a Mohist research institute?
"The Mojia Research Institute is the Mojia Research Institute, does the boss want watermelon juice?"
The shopkeeper was a little impatient.
He is not the only guest of Li Shimin.
When he spoke to Li Shimin, he had already sold two servings of watermelon juice.
"Then let's have three."
Li Shimin sighed.
Fang Yuan and Du Ruhui had already walked to the side.
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Du Ruhui asked how much it was.
"Eight cents a penny."
The boss said with a smile.
Soon made three copies to Du Ruhui.
But when he saw that Fang Yuan was also there, the hand he wanted to collect the money immediately took it back.
"You're also here, are these your friends? Then I won't take any money. ”
The boss smiled even more.
The words don't sound flattering, they come from the heart.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui both looked at Fang Yuan, their eyes full of surprise.
Officials who can make the people not collect money from the bottom of their hearts are amazing.
"No, they're not short of money."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said indifferently.
Take one of them and turn away.
"County Honor, go slowly, come back next time."
The boss waved his hand to Fang Yuan excitedly, watching Fang Yuan leave.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and after giving the money, they followed Shangyuan.
The three of them walked for a while, and this section of the road was full of all kinds of snacks.
No matter what era it is, men don't love snacks very much, and they never buy other snacks on the road.
"Steward Du, the mattress is in front, do you want to see the mattress first?"
Fang Yuan pointed to a store not far away.
South Street is a hodgepodge, and it's not just about food.
There are all kinds of things such as daily necessities.
It is divided into a very detailed area, and the snack area is the daily necessities area.
"Okay, let's look at the mattress first."
Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, and his pace quickened.
There were many fewer people in the daily necessities area, and Fang Yuan was recognized by the owner as soon as he walked to the door of the store.
"County Honor?!"
"Why are you here?"
"If you want a mattress, why do you need to come in person, I will choose the best one and send it to you."
The owner of the shop was enthusiastic.
Three steps and two steps approached Fang Yuan, smiling like a flower.
A man in his forties, there were already a lot of wrinkles on his face, and his smile made Fang Yuan's goosebumps fly.
"They're the guests."
"Originally, the price was whatever it was, and there was no need to deliberately discount it."
Fang Yuan walked away and pointed at Du Ruhui and Li Shimin and said.
"How's that going to work?"
"Friends of the county lord must be discounted!"
The shopkeeper smiled even more.
Warmly greet Li Shimin and Du Ruhui.
There was also a helper in the store, and the owner of the shop asked him to pour tea to greet Fang Yuan as soon as possible.
"Two bosses, please see, these are our mattresses."
"You can lie down and sleep until you're satisfied."
The shopkeeper said, pointing to the mattresses that filled the room.
Although the house is full of mattresses, the house is not big, and there are only seven or eight mattresses lying flat, and more are placed upside down on both sides.
"Okay."
Du Ruhui and Li Shimin followed the shop owner to visit the mattress.
But the two didn't like to lie in bed in public, so they just sat down.
After sitting on a few mattresses, Du Ruhui quickly had an idea in his heart and knew which one he wanted.
"Let's take this one, come with five, can I get it in ten days?"
Du Ruhui pointed to one of the mattresses and said.
Li Shimin didn't buy it, his dragon bed is very large, and there is no size suitable for the dragon bed here.
"Yes, of course."
"This mattress is 1232 yuan, you are a friend of the county, I will accept you consistently."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Sold five beds at once, making a lot of money.
"I'm sorry then, I'll give you six times."
Du Ruhui shook his head and said.
He is not short of money, and there is no need to owe Fang Yuan favors.
However, the things on South Street are really expensive, and it is estimated that it is related to the local development.
"Thank you boss, thank you boss."
The shopkeeper was naturally pleased.
After receiving the money, he issued a document to Du Ruhui.
When it was time to pick it up, you came with the slip and you were able to take the mattress away.
"By the way, boss, what's inside your mattress?"
Du Ruhui accepted the receipt and asked curiously.
Although Fang Yuan said that he put the spring in, how to put it in, and what it looked like, he was still very curious.
The bed that can make him sleep soundly, Du Ruhui is very curious, and he also wants to understand the structure.
"I don't know about this, I'm only responsible for selling, not making."
"If the boss wants to know, you can ask the people of the Mojia Research Institute that the mattress was invented by them."
The shopkeeper thought politely.
Accepting six copper coins, Du Ruhui is now his grandfather.
"Mojia Research Institute again?"
"Does the boss know what the Mojia Research Institute does?"
Du Ruhui frowned and said in a deep voice.
The same is true for Li Shimin, who is becoming more and more curious about the Mohist Research Institute.
"I don't know, I just invent things."
"Ice cubes, mattresses, cement roads, toilets, etc. were all invented by the Mohist Research Institute."
"Oh, by the way, you ask the county honor, the county lord knows best, the Mojia Research Institute was formed by the county honor."
The shopkeeper shook his head and said embarrassedly.
Immediately saw Fang Yuan, who was sitting on the other side drinking tea, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and the two turned their heads to look at Fang Yuan, who was drinking tea.
At this moment, the two of them deepened their understanding of Fang Yuan in their hearts, and at the same time they were full of curiosity about the Mojia Research Institute.
Fang Yuan seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and when he looked in the direction of his feelings, he saw Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looking over.
"Okay?"
Li Shimin nodded at the right time.
and Du Ruhui successively walked towards Fang Yuan.
"Let's go, then."
Fang Yuan put the teacup back and got up.
"The county respects go slowly, the two VIPs go slowly, welcome to come next time."
The shopkeeper kept sending the three of them to the door, waving and bowing to Fang Yuan and the others.
"Fang Xianzun, I heard that ice cubes, mattresses, cement roads, and toilets were all invented by the Mojia Research Institute."
"After walking around South Street, I wonder if you can take us to visit the Mojia Research Institute?"
Li Shimin asked.
Du Ruhui on the side also watched.
Both of them wanted to see the Mojia Research Institute.
It's the kind of institution they want to have so much.
