What?!

You said it earlier.

If the money doesn't chase Cheng Yi, then let Cheng Yi come back and pick up the money.

Ning Wuxian immediately beckoned Yun Fei and asked him to help call people.

The two of them clasped their hands to their mouths and shouted loudly.

"Brother! Come back! ”

The voices of the two men were not loud enough.

But the children in the neighborhood all did the same when they heard him shouting.

"Mr. Cheng! Come back! ”

"Mr. Cheng! Come back! ”

The crisp and melodious children's voices spread far and wide.

When the villagers working in the fields heard this, they all shouted.

"Mr. Cheng! Come back! ”

Wave after wave of sound caught up with the galloping horses' hooves.

When Cheng Yi was at a fork in the road, when he finally heard someone shouting for him to stop, he turned his horse's head and looked back.

In the golden rice fields, the nearby villagers who didn't know him all looked at him intently.

When he turned around, the villagers in front stopped shouting, and the people behind also stopped.

This wave of sound will once again stir up turbulent waves in Chengyi's heart, which was like a pool of stagnant water because he has not found a target for many years.

"It's not uncommon for high-ranking officials to be generous, but the feeling of being admired by everyone is still quite good."

He will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations.

We must let more villagers enjoy the treatment of going to school in the village.

Cheng Yi hit the horse back.

knew that Shen Youchu donated another 20,000 taels of silver tickets to support the construction of village schools.

I have more confidence in the future of village school.

With a huge sum of 55,000 taels in his arms, Cheng Yi rode on horseback this time, but did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Qin Fenglan with a smile.

"Brother Qin, don't you want to show it?"

Qin Fenglan, who was flipping through the book, didn't raise his eyelids when he heard this.

Shen Youchu donated money, that is, the Shen family's money is spent casually like paper.

Ning Wuxian donated money, it was profitable, and he wanted to take the opportunity to win people's hearts.

Let him donate money, does he want to rob Cheng Yi of the credit?

Cheng Yi touched a hard nail, he knew Qin Fenglan's temper very well, and knew that there was no hope, so he beat the horse and left.

Only this time.

Cheng Yi turned back one step at a time, and always felt that someone would stop him.

It wasn't until he walked out of the fork in the road that he realized that Brother Qin really didn't plan to do this with him.

"It's a shame."

Since Brother Qin didn't plan to get involved in this matter.

It seems that it won't be long before Brother Qin will return to the capital.

Then, before Brother Qin leaves, build a few more village schools and make some achievements, so that Brother Qin can leave with confidence.

……

In the afternoon, the sun was just setting in the west.

A group of fast horses got off the merchant ship from the northwest waterway and galloped towards Jinling City.

Headed by the Jiang Yan, who is also the governor of Jiangnan Province.

And Tong Bufu, the inspector of Jinling Distillery, who was also appointed by the emperor and subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, was protected by the team in the center.

When they arrived at a restaurant in a county town less than 50 miles away from Jinling City, the group dismounted to take a break and make up for a late lunch.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, a cool feeling greeted them washed away the heat of running around under the scorching sun.

"It's cool."

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

Thinking that this restaurant is located in the middle of the city, sitting in the north and facing south, with excellent lighting, I don't understand why there is such a cool feeling after coming in.

I wonder.

At the top of the staircase leading to the box on the second floor, a few bamboo curtains suddenly lowered.

While blocking the way to the second floor, the coolness in the house has also decreased a lot.

"How many guest officers are sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

The shopkeeper saw that Jiang Yan each rode a horse to come, just looking at the smooth and smooth horses, even if Jiang Yan's group of people were wearing very simple clothes, they also knew that this was not a group of ordinary people who were vulgar, and personally came forward to greet them.

After Jiang Yan ordered two tables of homely meals, he looked at the second floor.

I heard bursts of laughter coming from the box on the second floor, mixed with the words "this life is worth it" and "eat more".

Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Shopkeeper, why is this upstairs so cool?" ”

When the bamboo curtain is rolled up, cool air seeps out, indicating that the cool air comes from the second floor.

In addition, the second floor is a private room, and the consumption is high, so it should be that the restaurant uses cooling methods.

It's just that Jiang Yan couldn't imagine that such a big place as the entire second floor could be completely cooled down and spread to the first floor, what kind of way could it be.

When the shopkeeper heard Jiang Yan's question, he didn't answer and asked, "Isn't the guest from Jinling?" ”

"I have been on an errand in Jinling for several years, and I am half of Jinling, but I only went to Jing'an City last month and came back today."

mentioned the word "errand", coupled with Jiang Yan's full style, as well as the military spirit displayed by Jiang He and the guards next to him.

The well-informed shopkeeper hurriedly handed over: "No wonder the distinguished guests don't know, the store also sent ice cubes yesterday, so that in the box on the second floor, as long as there are guests, ice can be used." ”

Is it actually used to cool down with ice cubes?

Such a simple method, Jiang Yan naturally knew.

But he didn't expect that this restaurant didn't seem to be large, so he was willing to use ice cubes to cool down.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask one more question: "In such a business, the box fee is a lot more expensive, right?" ”

"It's a little more expensive, the box was originally for the nobles, and after using ice, the price of each table increased by half a tael of silver."

"Only half a tael of silver?"

Jiang Yan was taken aback.

The Jiang family is also a big family.

But even if it is Jiang Yan, I have never enjoyed ice cubes a few times in summer since I was a child.

How much do you know how expensive this ice cube is.

The shopkeeper has seen a lot of Jiang Yan's reaction, accompanied by a smiling face, and patiently explained: "The distinguished guests don't know, Boss Ning...... It was the boss of Jinling Shixianning who made cheap ice cubes, and now Jinling still has a nearby county seat with a radius of fifty miles, but anyone who has a box can afford to use ice cubes to cool down. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper lowered his voice, pointed to the upstairs that was more lively than the downstairs, and smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes were bent into a line.

"For this reason, many guests don't eat at home now, but come to eat in the box."

Jiang Yan expressed his understanding of this behavior.

Don't talk about others.

Even if he learned that there were ice cubes to cool down the whole process of eating in the private room, and only half a tael of silver was added, he would want to experience it, a treatment that only dignitaries and dignitaries could enjoy before.

It's just that he doesn't understand that he has only been away from Jinling for less than a month, and Ning Wuxian has a new way to make money.

"How did Mr. Ning transition from selling perfume to selling ice?"

Ask the shopkeeper this secret, and the other party naturally doesn't know.

Jiang Yan had a stomach full of questions, hurried to finish eating, and continued to rush under the scorching sun.

Stay until late in the evening.

Finally arrived at the Jinling Mansion.

From a distance, I saw people coming and going in front of the government, going in and out.

Just when Jiang Yan thought that it was Su Rui who was thoroughly investigating the Ye family's case, involving a wide range of people, and all the people who came and went were bitter masters.

When I got closer, I saw that everyone who came in and out was beaming with joy, and they were still holding the shop documents approved by the government.

"Lao Zhao, have you also started to put perfume in the box?"

"Otherwise, in order to avoid checking taxes every day, I deliberately took the bill to buy perfume to register, and the old Wang next door bought it from the black market, and now I beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother to find a private person to buy the bill."

"This perfume is really expensive, fortunately, a few drops into the ice cubes can dispel the smell, the box business has been too hot recently, why don't we join forces to raise half a tael of silver?"

"Half a tael? I heard that a restaurant invited the Qingqi of Xiaoxiang Pavilion to play the piano, and the time for a meal in the box rose by ten taels, there are so many rich people in Jinling, are you still afraid that they won't be able to pay for it? ”
