Chapter 191: The Years of Burning Passion (Three Chapters in One)
It's only 20 yuan extra for laundry, which is really a conscience price.
After walking for a little two months, the underwear on his body has been changed, not to mention that some people in the team have not changed at all.
It was still the team leader who spoke.
Who is the team leader?
Don't look at him being so cold that his nose and face are swollen, he hurried all the way down, what he wears thickly, he doesn't look so noble on the outside, and he speaks very kindly.
But he is the chief manager of the Huizhou tea industry in Beijing.
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled: "It's always right to listen to persuasion, then it's all rich and noble." Please give my men some hot water. It's been a hard journey, so let them warm up first and change their clothes."
All?
Liu Laozhu was excited, if the three hundred people were super rich, this would be fifty-one taels of silver into the account.
One day, he only took a bath, fifty-one taels, and he seemed to hear the sound of silver being put into his pocket.
Don't worry about the cost and salary, no cost or salary is given to outsiders, it's all the people in the village who earn this money, which is great.
But the expression on Liu Laozhu's face was controlled and excited, and he didn't show it much.
Answer first, those subordinates outside you have already been led to each house, don't worry, you can't wait to sit on the kang and knock melon seeds and drink hot tea.
Yes, we have hot tea.
can't compare to the good tea brought by the big tea merchant in front of him, and he can't afford to bring the good tea that these people also drink with themselves.
We only have dandelion and eleuthero tea picked by the common people, but we provide it for free.
No, Liu Laozhu was being praised by several other stewards, and he waved his hand and said:
"It's fate to be able to settle in our village.
We are very cold here, but the people are simple and warm-hearted, and we rely on the warm-hearted heart to live.
We have also gone far away, tasted the taste of long travel, and met good people, so that our hearts are so warm that we are not scared.
This time it's our turn to do business on our own, and we have to have a positive attitude towards our customers. If there is no good tea, can there be no accumulation and picking from each family?
You can also taste it, a different taste of tea, go to the fire."
Liu Laozhu shouted outside: "Second brother, three hundred super rich sets, let the laundry and scrubbing preparations be prepared. Tell the boys below to make the hall more hot and hot."
Xu Lao Er: "......" 300 people are going to be super? is really rich, no wonder my mother always said that he didn't know anything before.
On this side, Liu Laozhu took a lot of bamboo baskets with the fourth uncle, and the bamboo baskets are all labeled, corresponding to the wardrobe, don't look back to wash and dry, and divide the clothes and stubble.
Liu Laozhu motioned to the first batch of bathers to put the dirty clothes he had changed into each basket: "The floor of the bathhouse is paved with pebbles, and any of you who can't stand the stones will change into clogs."
When a guest went out to pick up and change clothes, they saw rows of children, waiting to pick up the bamboo baskets with dirty clothes.
He deliberately picked a younger one and asked, where is this going to go?
It was Wang Yusheng's daughter Xiaoya who was questioned: "There is nowhere to dry here, so I have to take it home and wash it for my mother's pulp." You can rest assured, distinguished guests, will use soap horns to wash you clean, and will also spread on the hot kang mat, which can be dried overnight. We'll send them back tomorrow morning, and we won't delay your nobles from leaving to do business."
In a few moments, a group of children under the age of ten roared, each carrying two baskets full of dirty clothes.
The older baby will still worry about helping the younger one, shouting, "Can you carry it? I can't carry it to my brother."
At this time, in the bathhouse, the first group of bathing guests have simply rinsed and rinsed, and then soaked in the hot pool.
Seventy digits are dialed, and a total of four dials can be washed.
Not to mention, it's really comfortable to soak in, and many people lean against the stone wall of the pool, and can't help but sigh in comfort.
The guests thought to themselves:
Today, they finally took a shower, and remembered that they had walked all the way down, and it was really a little unbearable.
two
I haven't taken a bath for more than a month, and after rubbing the mud, I can't prepare a lot of differences.
So they soaked after washing, and heard that the medicine bags in each pool were different, and they planned to change the pool later, and they had to soak a full set.
Then give a hand, wave your hand to call a pot of tea, and then rub your back, press your calf, how beautiful.
The guests thought that this was good, and it was worth spending 170 yuan per person. Along the way, did you spend less money unjustly? If you want to buy a hot corn, it will rise to fifteen yuan. Even if you can feel that these fellows are quite real, no one takes the so-called super rich set seriously.
But after a while, five children of twelve or thirteen years old came in.
They carried refreshments, placed a large teapot next to each bathing pool, and poured water from each cup.
What is very striking is that the guests are divided into small plates one after another.
There are three kinds of pastries in the small plate, the most is four pieces of dried sweet potato, then there are two pieces of furnace fruit made by Mrs. Xu, which tastes crispy and sweet, and the third is a small piece of Poria cake in the middle of the plate.
The boys told, "Grandma Xu said that the guests were in a very hard hurry, and their spleen and stomach were weak, so they first ate a piece of Poria cake, and then padd their stomachs with stove fruits and dried sweet potatoes, so that they would not be confused in the bath."
After the boys left, the deputy sitting next to the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows at the shopkeeper in surprise, which means that the small village can be arranged like this, I really didn't expect it.
Hurry up and take a bite again, even the dried sweet potatoes are soft and sweet, not to mention the Poria cake, should he buy some for the children at home to take home?
But where is this, it is said to be super, and if you collect super money, you will never deceive.
Liu Laozhu came in with thirty bathers.
Don't look at the age of these scrubbers, the average age is around 50 years old.
There are also four five-guarantee households in the village, and the village will provide food, clothing, medical care, shelter, and burial.
The spirit of the bathers is excellent.
Do the math, is it possible for one person to get ten people to rub the bath, massage gua sha cupping.
How much do you have to earn this evening plus the first half of the night? Sitting at home at an age to earn money, I never dared to think that there would be such a good life in the past.
Moreover, they also have tooling.
Each was given a pair of large green pants.
To be honest, I've lived most of my life, and I haven't been willing to wear such a good fabric of big pants inside, which is soft to the touch and does not fade, without a hole in the eye, and does not leak at all.
As for why it's green, if you want to live a decent life, you have to bring a little green.
The guests who were soaking in the pool looked at dozens of old men who came in at a hula, and then they were shirtless above, wearing green pants below, carrying a small bench in their hands, and their hair was still coiled on the top of their heads, combing a small round bun, like a round little steamed bun, which stunned them.
Just looked, Liu Laozhu waved his hand: "Come, wash the hair of the distinguished guests."
Oops, the super set is really rich, and you can help wash your hair?
Then you have to wash your hair, otherwise it will take too much water for you to wash yourself, and you are afraid that you will waste shampoo and conditioner. If you use it well, you can also sell cleaning and care products by the way, and the Tianxin girl said that she will give us a commission if she sells it, and we are smart Erdaohe people.
"Come, my honorable guests, we will wash you thoroughly, and you will be able to press your scalps."
didn't give a chance to refuse, so the scrubbers hurried one by one, and the distribution was clear.
"You smell it, it's not fragrant, there's absolutely no ...... outside."
Liu Laozhu patted the man who was about to start selling when he sat down, tsk, he had to remind him to take a bath when he turned around, and when he saw the guests in the bath and closed his eyes, don't sit there and talk endlessly, not annoying.
Good things, we are not afraid to sell, use them well, the guests themselves will ask.
Besides, he hasn't finished selling yet, so let's annoy him first.
Liu Laozhu looked at the shopkeeper and said that we, when we were drying your shoes just now, we saw that the shoes you took off were a little thin, why don't you take advantage of the bath to let the women add a layer of indigo grass to the cotton shoes.
A guest asked, "Did you bake our shoes?" And what is Ula grass?"
"It's not normal to help bake shoes, it's a good thing to help. Look your shoes are wet.
As for the Ula grass, it is our specialty grass here, and it does not grow anywhere else.
If you've heard that we have three treasures here, they are ginseng, mink, and ula grass.
Big White Mountain, Black Earth, Ula Grass, Good Things.
It can dispel dampness, keep warm, repel insects, and nourish the skin.
Here is the east side of the Northland, the northwest wind is blowing, the snow shell is three feet of ice, the big cotton shoes and cotton pants do not carry the wind, the cold on the soles of the feet will be frozen so that the snot can not be stopped, where to go to wipe the nose with the sleeves, and the cuffs will be hard at that time.
You have to bring the ula grass to keep out the wind, and you won't be frozen like this.
Do you understand?"
I see.
"How much?" The leader of the caravan dart had his hair loose and asked before the others.
He had heard of the Samboula Ula Grass.
On this trip, many of their men had frozen feet, and they were ready to wear thicker clothes to avoid being cold, but they didn't expect it to be so cold.
If the price is reasonable, if the ula grass is really used, you can also buy more darts for the future, so as not to go back and have nowhere to buy.
Liu Laozhu didn't answer, and the uncle who was washing his hair told him that if he only made shoes, a pair of thirty wen would not only sew the inside of the insole shoes with ura, but also wrap the upper to the calf. And don't be afraid that there is a lot of grass stuffed in it, the shoes will become smaller, the old people in the village are old craftsmen, and they will use shoe braces to support them to ensure that they fit well.
"Come on, then."
"Everyone?"
"Yes." It just so happens that I am wearing shoes that I am in a hurry today, and I will wear them when I go back.
For example, when he went to see an official tomorrow, the shopkeeper designated that he would change his clothes and wear other shoes.
Liu Laozhu hurriedly spread the word outside, and the person who was taking a bath made shoes. When this side is washed, the other side is sewn.
In fact, Liu Laozhu can continue to sell the outer coat and pants of Wula grass, and they also have new shoes of various shoe sizes made in advance, but he has no time to talk about that.
While remembering, one person added thirty yuan to make shoes, and said:
"Later, you will go out and see for yourselves, there is a counter to sell, the snow will not fall on the outer layer of the ula grass, and it will be windproof and warm.
It's okay if you don't buy it, you can feel it first tonight, because the quilt you cover tonight is made of wool grass smashed into wadding, and then it's over to see if it's warm or not, and it's not appropriate to say more.
You see, in our village, in the winter, they take a shovel across a basket and carry a hoe to plow the wasteland, and they just swish around in the ura grass, and the children go out to play and skate."
Liu Laozhu remembered Mrs. Xu's words, good things are not afraid to sell.
Liu Laozhu was anxious to talk to the guests about another matter, the noodles were waiting for stew.
However, before he sold it, he deliberately let Xu Lao Er come in and pretended to muttered in his ear.
Xu Lao and the others came in, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only lean into Uncle Lizheng's ear and whisper, "Uncle, you wipe the white foam from the corner of your mouth."
The corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth.
Liu Laozhu wiped his mouth, and hurriedly came to the shopkeeper Zhang's side mysteriously, and asked the scrubbing worker to wait for a while, he had a private word to talk to the big shopkeeper.
A pool of men were watching this scene.
Then they saw that the shopkeeper was even kinder than before, and said, "Thank you so much to the store."
The shopkeeper thought to himself: This is the advantage that a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, and he wants to make friends with the landlords.
"When I first arrived, I really wondered, there are permanent officials in the shops next to me, and from the time we move in, there will be a check of documents, some are two, some are four, why don't you have them here."
Liu Laozhu said with a smile:
"Don't hide it from the big shopkeeper, where are we servants here, don't forget to go to our village, but you are entering the land of Zhenbei in earnest.
If our village is stationed, we will also send soldiers.
merely
You probably didn't notice that further on, a bright blue brick house was being built on the edge of the crossing, unlike our dilapidated house here.
And because it was built too late, the foundation could not be dug at that time, so it was delayed. The kang in the house hasn't been built, and no one has been sent from above, so it's only been these two days."
Therefore, Liu Laozhu just told the shopkeeper Zhang that it was appropriate to go to the town tomorrow morning, and then find someone in the army in the north of the town to issue documents and caravan seals, which warehouse where the goods would be parked, and where to wait for the meeting.
Mrs. Xu had already asked Xu Laosan and Xu Laosi, who were buying goods back and forth, to inquire about these things.
The fourth came back today and said that I don't know what important people were found in the town yesterday, the city gate has been replaced by officials, there are many soldiers in the handles, and many soldiers wearing armor will patrol the defense.
Among them, the street that confiscated several private houses in the town of Shangren is under martial law, and I heard that even several nearby houses have been requisitioned.
But Liu Laozhu had to make a special appearance of sending someone out to inquire, anxious about the guests' urgency.
It was also at this time that a blackboard with a small wooden wheel was pushed in.
The chalkboard has various menus written on it.
The guests soaked first, the dish should be stewed in advance, the noodles were washed, and they came out to eat.
Guest officers, there are two kinds of meals, one is to order a small stove, and the other wave of people can go to eat fast food.
The small stove is the Xu family's iron pot stew.
Liu Laozhu said:
"You wash, I'll introduce mine.
The fish oil made by the Xu family is watery, yes, it is the western fish Xu, every time the fish is cooked, the children are all around the pot and table, and they will eat it up in a short time.
The fish here are quacky, and if you don't ride a cow or a donkey, we will fish here.
The local area is famous for its four major fragrances, that is: the fish we have here, the chicken that lays eggs, the cage Jue, the second wife, is the most awesome fish.
The man is invincible after eating, and the woman can be delicate after eating. After both men and women eat together, they can write legends.
Hahaha, don't believe this old man, it's true, you don't eat for a long time and pass by Dasongjiang."
Liu Laozhu looked proud:
"I dare to say that if you miss us, you won't be able to eat such authentic food, and there is no most expensive restaurant in Fucheng.
I can only say that they are more delicately presented than us, and the house is more generous than us, but I dare to swear that the taste is not as good as ours. It's not that I haven't been there, well, we often go out and have knowledge.
Because the fish of the Xu family itself was sent to Fucheng far away, and it was sent to the surrounding six towns nearby. You said you caught up with her and had the goods at home, do you have to eat them?
Don't wait until you leave and start to regret it, it's good to eat it once at that time, thousands of miles away, where to eat?
Her fish can also be given as a gift, carp head and catfish tail, I promise you will not regret it after eating.
When you go back, you can even bring some frozen fish, don't be afraid that you won't be able to make that taste, I'll bring you just the right seasoning.z.
You give it to the future father-in-law to be selected, you give it to the people above to be important and develop, you bring more to give to relatives and friends, just like in the pool, I see that there are many people who have not started a family, and the eldest aunt is happy to finish eating, and can help you Zhang Luo daughter-in-law, and you can choose whatever you want."
Sure enough, there was interest: "What kind of fish are there, can you tell me about it?"
So what's not to do?
"Aohua Fish, Grass Root, Big White, Big Maha, Rabbit Fish, Eel, Black Fish, Pike, Red Tail Ox Tail, Fat Head, Silver Carp, Faro, Ga Yazi, Big Crucian Carp, Gong Fish, Burbot, Three Flowers, Five Luo and Eighteen Sons, Seventy-two Miscellaneous ......"
Emma, this makes Liu Laozhu tired, and he didn't finish talking in a fit of anger, why couldn't Mrs. Xu go into the bathhouse, and let him memorize these words.
Hot, tired and thirsty, I can't give a detailed introduction:
"In short, eat river fish, find Erdao River, Songwu and two rivers, and the Xu family has the most types."
Do you want to eat or not? Ancestors.
Eat.
How is it sold?
Fish species.
You also have to see that jumping around is a price, and planting a stunned belly is a price, and it is already dead
Angry is another price.
"What does it mean to be stunned?"
Liu Laozhu thought to himself, go back and let the bathers popularize the Northeast dialect, and when the caravans learn to return to various places, we can be regarded as peach and plum all over the world.
"It's just hanging a sigh, and it's not dead yet."
Shopkeeper Zhang was going to come out to take a bath, and at this time he was sweating: "In this way, shopkeeper, how many people can sit at a table, you can make arrangements."
"Then I have to say it first, a table of twelve people, a super luxurious table, stewed with the most expensive fish, the cold wind blows, the snowflakes fly, and a bunch of stews in the cauldron, absolutely real. Rice is eaten as much as you want, and even sake is drunk as much as you like. You can drink two taels just by eating fried dried tofu, as well as big pulling, fish jelly and peanuts. It's been a long time since you've eaten fresh celery, right? Fresh! And gherkins. Then I will serve you a stewed blood sausage, a piece of meat, and a pot sticker cake with sauerkraut dumplings. The ground is three fresh, the pot is wrapped in meat, and the sweet potato is not enough to eat, and a table is eleven, two, six."
"How many pounds of fish are there?"
As soon as Liu Laozhu heard that there was a play, Emma, he had no bottom in his heart when he introduced it before, and he thought that Mrs. Xu was too daring to ask for a price, and she could earn one or two silver dollars per table, can you earn too much?
I didn't expect it to be because I didn't know enough......
Liu Laozhu said with a happy face:
"If you are not hungry and can wait, then go out and pick out for yourself after you have taken a shower.
If you can trust me, don't dare to say anything else, I will choose the kind of fish that has fatter oil in the belly than me.
Also, all the VIPs have walked through the south and the north, and they all know that the fish is not fresh, and the first touch of the skin is wrinkled, and that kind of fish will not work.
If the eye has a membrane, it will not work.
I assigned you to pick the kind of eyes like mine, crystal clear, shiny and shiny, and even sparks out, that means that the fish is good, it is anxious, what are you fishing for me, right?
You see the brothers are laughing again, and you will know after a long time that I have always spoken from the bottom of my heart."
The shopkeeper was lying on the bath bed.
His deputy smiled and waved his hand, "In this way, shopkeeper, we don't understand, you can arrange the table according to the people who are bathing in the house now, tentatively set six tables to stew, and eat when you go out." Isn't there something else left? You're doing it too, aren't you?"
"Yes, the stir-fry is going to fly. For example, noodles in hot soup, stewed eggplant sauce and fried bean shredded rice bowl, casserole with oil cakes, dumplings, you name it. A plate of dumplings, a vinegar dish, garlic foam, chili oil, soy sauce, and a bowl of wine with strength. We also have laba garlic and big porridge."
