"Busy at home?" Meng Changqing stepped forward, "It's nothing, I heard from Captain Yang that you have been doing business by the wall for two days, come and ask how your business is doing?" ”

"Alas, Master Lao is worried." The man at the gate of the courtyard smiled, "Thanks to you, I made some money." ”

"Who, always talking at the door." Seeing that the person who opened the door did not go back for a long time, he raised his voice and asked.

Meng Changqing: "Don't you invite us in and sit?" ”

"Please, please, it's messy at home." The man immediately opened the courtyard door to the side and said loudly into the house: "The officials are here, quickly sweep the hall." ”

Several people entered the man's house, and were warmly invited to the kang by the other party.

"It's just swept on the kang." The hostess laughed.

"Don't be stunned, go boil water to make tea."

"Hey, I'll go."

Meng Changqing stopped the hostess who was going out, "Don't be busy, sit down, talk to you for a while and leave." ”

"You say what you say." As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt that the two and a half children lying on the side of the kang were not sensible, "Susu, you take the children out." ”

"No, you don't." Meng Changqing stopped again, "I see that the two children of your family are also sensible, just sit in the house, you don't have to go out." ”

"Hey!" Hearing the official's praise of their children, several adults in this family were very happy, "These two in my family are quite distressed, seeing that the two of us are too busy, we still know how to help." The hostess gave the child on the kang side a haircut.

"Yes, since you do things for the family, then you are an adult." Meng Changqing gave a few packages in his hand, "Come back to your house, this is the meeting gift I brought." ”

The man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "How good are we for the county master." ”

"Of course it's easy to receive, it's not a valuable thing, take it and give it to the children as a snack." Meng Changqing opened the small package on the table as he spoke, and the children couldn't help but swallow when they saw the dates inside.

Children at this age are growing up, and they can't eat enough for a big bowl of rice, and they want to nibble on everything they see.

Meng Changqing saw that they wanted to eat, so one of them grabbed a handful, "Eat." ”

The children took it and stuffed it into their mouths, and the man hurriedly reminded them, "Thank you yet, the county master." ”

"Don't pay attention to that." Meng Changqing asked: "I heard Captain Yang say, your family is in the tofu business?" ”

"Yes." The man said, "Look at other people's business greed, but my family has no other good things except these in the field, and I happened to have made tofu before, so I sold tofu and tried it." ”

"Making tofu is also a craft, how about trying it out? Can you make money? ”

The man said: "It's all things at home, don't need capital, sell more and sell less to make money." ”

Meng Changqing nodded, "Your idea is very good, but since you have contributed, it is better to make more money, isn't it?" ”

The man smiled and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, can you earn more or want to earn more." ”

"Let's just talk about today, how much did you earn this trip?" Meng Changqing added: "I'm curious to ask, it's not for anything, you don't have to hide it from me, I want you to make more money as a county official." ”

The man snorted halfway, "There are more than fifty words." ”

"It's not much, it's grinding beans and cooking soy milk, and it's artificially plus firewood, and it's really not much to make this money in one trip." Meng Changqing asked again: "Have all the tofu I brought with me sold out?" ”

"There's a little left." The man thought he understood what Meng Changqing meant, and immediately beckoned his wife to bring a basin outside.

This time, Meng Changqing didn't stop him, after tasting his tofu, praised them for their good skills, and gave them ideas to make some braised tofu and dried tofu.

Meng Changqing's enthusiasm made Bafang stunned.

She is not only enthusiastic in this house, but also in every family behind her, caring about how much money they can make every day, and if they make less money, she will find a way for them.

Happo didn't understand.

On the way back to the yamen, he asked, "Young master, how much tax do you expect them to pay to the yamen?" ”

"It's not all silver." Meng Changqing said, "Really doing business is all about making money, but if you can't make any money, but you still spend so much effort to do business by the wall, then there must be other schemes, and the yamen will have to focus on it in the future." (End of chapter)
