539 Mingcheng makes money
After lunch, I went back to see that the old hermit was still asleep on the table, and he didn't even change his position, Mingcheng and the scholar were sitting next to him, thinking that he had been trying to ask the old hermit but didn't find a chance to ask, the scholar thought about it, and simply asked Mingcheng.
"Mingcheng, if you don't become an emperor in the future, you will be crowned a prince, right?"
"Hmm!" Ming Cheng nodded, although he had never felt his father's love for him, but as his eldest prince, as the emperor's first son, he would not be able to run away from the title of a prince in the future.
Of course, the premise is that he is the emperor's brother and not be narrow-minded and intolerant, don't look at Ming Cheng is only five years old, but he has never seen anything in the palace? There are more eyes and eyes, and they understand nature more than their peers.
The scholar then asked, "What is the difference between the head of the Mingcheng Palace's Mansion and the head of the Ningyuan Palace?" ”
"What's the difference?" Mingcheng thought very hard, what's the difference between being the general manager? If you have to say different...... "I was still young, and I didn't reach the time when the king opened the palace, but I remember the heads of several uncles and uncles' families, many of whom were waiting by their side when they were princes...... Eunuch! ”
Mingcheng's voice became lower and lower, he was just thinking about getting close to the scholar before, leaving him to give him a high position by his side. In his impression, the palace is the largest except for the prince and princess, and the chief steward who is valued by the palace is the largest, but he forgot that those stewards are all eunuchs, as the emperor's son, even if they leave the palace, most of the people waiting in the palace are brought out of the palace.
Although he is young, Ming Cheng can still understand that there is a difference between a eunuch and a normal man, if he lets the scholar be his manager, doesn't he say that he wants the scholar to be a eunuch? God knows he really didn't think that much at the time.
Although the scholar has not seen much of the world, but when he is a teenager, he knows the difference between a eunuch and a normal man, and when he hears that he wants to be the head of Mingcheng, he must be a eunuch first, and the scholar subconsciously covers the root of his thighs with both hands, and shouts in his mouth, "Mingcheng, I don't want a big house, don't be the head of your family." ”
Ming Cheng laughed dryly: "Brother scholar, didn't I forget, of course I can't let you be a eunuch, or let's start making money now, how good it would be to be able to buy a big mansion in less than ten years?" I just don't know if the scholar brother suffers. ”
The scholar likes big mansions and food, as long as he doesn't have to be a eunuch, what kind of bitterness can't he eat? Hearing Mingcheng's question, the clerk immediately said: "Can a manly husband be afraid of hardship?" Mingcheng You say how to make money, I will listen to you. ”
Ming Cheng took the scholar and ran to the workshop, and the people in the workshop were all subordinates of the palace, so they naturally recognized Ming Cheng, and they all saluted when they saw Ming Cheng: "The slave has seen the eldest prince." "The slave maid greets the eldest prince."
Mingcheng gave up the courtesy and took a few taels of silver from his arms, "My husband loves to eat the lo-mei of the workshop, let me come and buy some, and put a few baskets of this silver for me to go back." ”
If someone else comes to buy it, it is not soft to collect the silver, but the eldest prince came in person, and the old hermit who was invited back by the prince wanted to eat, and the people in the workshop refused to accept the silver, but Mingcheng had no choice but to give it, and finally could only accept the silver, thinking about going back and telling the princess about it, whether the silver was returned or what.
Moreover, when Mingcheng was loaded with lo-mei, in addition to loading some of everything, the amount of loading was also sufficient, completely according to the cost price, two baskets one large and one small, just Mingcheng and the scholar took one.
After taking the basket, Mingcheng took the scholar to the front yard, yesterday he found a dog hole behind the courtyard where Mr. lived, the size was not enough for an adult to drill through, but he was easy to drill, although the scholar was bigger than him, but the thin and small would not be stuck, but it was a little difficult for these two fat baskets to get out.
The scholar's clothes are nothing, Mingcheng is a little conspicuous in a gorgeous dress, so he took the scholar's clothes and put them on, although they are longer, and it is not too exaggerated to tie a belt around the waist, after all, people in this era like to make clothes for their children bigger, and they can wear them for a few years, and others will only think that they are adults in the family when they see Mingcheng's clothes.
After changing his clothes, the scholar went to find a ladder to set up, let Mingcheng get out first, he tied the two baskets with ropes and put them down along the wall, and then he came down and got out of the dog hole.
When the two brothers were standing in the alley outside the palace, they took their baskets and carefully walked out of the alley, there were people doing business outside, there were no people in the alley, and they didn't have to worry about being found out that they had sneaked out of the palace.
You can't sell lo-mei in front of the palace, and it is inevitable that the people in the palace will find out, so you can simply go farther, but you can't go too far.
It was the first time that Ming Cheng went out without a guard, although he thought it was good before, but he was really unfamiliar with everything when he went outside alone, and the scholar went to inquire, and only then did he know how much each lo-mei was sold for.
I didn't dare to go too far, the two small ones set up stalls in the two streets away from the palace, generally speaking, the lo-mei of the palace sells well, they are sold in places like restaurants, if you want to eat at home, you will go to the palace workshop and shops everywhere to buy, there are really not many stalls like this, especially the two children.
When asked, the scholar said that he had no father or mother at home, and in order to support his younger brother, he could only get lo-mei to sell, at this time Mingcheng pretended to be ignorant next to him, smiled innocently at the person who asked, and then asked: "Do you want to buy some lo-mei to eat?" ”
Ordinary people saw that the little brothers were pitiful, and the younger brother was so cute, dressed neatly and cleanly, like a child from a well-educated family, and was asked by Mingcheng to pay for some.
After all, wherever you buy it, you buy it, the lo-mei in the palace is really delicious, and what they sell is not fake. It didn't take much effort, and there wasn't much left of the two baskets of lo-mei, one large and one small.
Seeing that they have earned money, after all, the people in the palace workshop are very affordable for Ming Cheng to pretend to be lo-mei fashion, much cheaper than those people queuing up in the palace workshop, they have made more than half of this trip before they are sold out, and in the long run, they are much closer to the big mansion.
Seeing that it was still early, the scholar suggested that he go back and get some lo-mei to sell, but it was useless for Mingcheng to run with him, so that Mingcheng was here to watch the stall, he carried the big basket and ran to the palace, first threw the basket over the wall, and then he got in from the dog hole.
Pick up the basket and run to the workshop, although the people in the workshop think that the new gentleman eats too much, but the people are guests, and it is not easy to care about buying lo-mei and giving silver, just thinking that I have to report to the princess.
The clerk climbed up to the ladder again, carried the basket out, threw it with the rope, and then got out of the dog's hole, untied the basket, and carried it to Mingcheng.
Mingcheng's lo-mei there had already been sold out, and he was looking in the direction where the scholar was coming, and when he saw the scholar coming with a basket, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother, brother, hurry up!" ”
As soon as the scholar put down the basket, someone came to buy lo-mei, the lo-mei of the palace is still selling very well, and there is no need to queue up outside the workshop, after all, in the workshop, there are people who come to take the goods back to sell and sell them less The price is not the same, instead of queuing, it is better to buy the lo-mei sold by the two children.
It's just a little strange that the speed of the child queuing is very fast, how much effort does it take to bring a basket back, if it is not someone over there to queue up, or someone else sees that the child is small, let him take the goods first, right?
Moreover, for these two baskets of lo-mei, it is completely impossible to give the price of the goods in the Wangfu workshop, and it may be that the people of the palace take care of the children.
But no matter what, it is naturally good to have lo-mei to eat without queuing, and after another basket of lo-mei is sold, it is not so early to see the sky, and the scholar and Mingcheng closed the stall, only to say that they would come over.
Then drill back to the palace from the dog hole, return to the house where the scholar lived, and count the two big and one small three baskets of lo-mei they have earned more than a dozen taels today, in the eyes of the scholar, it is really amazing, and it is much closer to his big mansion goal.
Although Mingcheng doesn't look at a dozen taels very much, he also knows the truth that a little bit adds up, and he has less preparation today, if Ming'er gets a small board car and pushes more in the past, isn't it to double the earnings?
So, after making an appointment with Ming'er to get out of class in the afternoon and go to sell lo-mei, Mingcheng went back to the backyard and went to Ling Xiaorou to see the three treasures first, and they didn't see their brother for a day, they all stuck to Mingcheng's brother and called his brother.
Ling Xiaorou originally wanted to ask Mingcheng what he was doing with those lo-mei in the afternoon, but after thinking about it, she decided to observe it in secret.
The first time I knew that Ming Cheng and the scholar took the silver to buy lo-mei, I felt strange, with the character of the old hermit, if you want to eat, you can send it directly, where will you buy it with silver?
But he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that the two children wanted to honor him, but the second time the scholar came to get the lo-mei, Ling Xiaorou was a little strange, the old hermit was said to eat too much at noon, and drank too much, and he could still eat so much lo-mei in the afternoon?
After that, he sent someone over to see that the old hermit had been sleeping on the table since the lecture had been sleeping on his sleeves, and it was said that he had never woken up, and those baskets of lo-mei were definitely not his food.
Let people go to Mingcheng quietly, but they didn't see anyone in the entire palace, Ling Xiaorou 'groaned' in her heart, in case the eldest prince was lost, even if Li Xun didn't care about this son anymore, the identity was there, and the Ningyuan palace couldn't afford to bear it.
As a result, just when she was anxious to send someone to inform He Louyuan, someone reported that the eldest prince had returned, and Ling Xiaorou asked people to remain silent for the first time.
On the second day, after class in the afternoon, the old hermit took the wine and asked people to make two snacks with wine, and went back to the house to enjoy, Mingcheng and the scholar made the lo-mei again and climbed out along the dog hole.
Early in the morning, the scholar went to find a small car, put it outside the dog hole, and put the lo-mei in the same way after coming out, and this trip today is much more than yesterday's two trips, as long as they are sold out, how can they make twenty or thirty taels.
Even Mingcheng went to the winery to buy two jars of five-pound Wangfu home brew, and got two taels of small wine, which is more profitable than lo-mei when it is sold.
