Chapter 523: Guy, Do You Want a Cigarette? Folk black businessmen!
"Back to the teacher, the students can read and write, thanks to the support of the family elders."
Xu Yan said seriously,
"Our Xu family is actually a big family, and our distant ancestor can be traced back to Xu Xing in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is a representative of the peasant family."
"Later, the farming family declined, but the family multiplied from generation to generation, and they all made a living from farming, of course...... There are also some homeschooling. ”
"Relying on these family learnings, there are also ancestors in the clan who have stood out, and the family has also grown, which can continue to the Tang Dynasty."
"Of course...... Now our Xu family is no longer a big family, scattered or clustered, or far away...... It's almost gone. ”
Xu Fenglei suddenly.
It turns out that the ancestor is also a big thinker!
Farmer Xu Xing, who once lobbied the monarch in Teng and discussed with Mencius, can be regarded as a representative of the peasant family, and is very famous!
Think about it too.
can be passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present and has not broken the bloodline, who has not had a wide ancestor?
There are no more than three generations of poverty, and there is a high probability that after three generations of poverty, there is no qualification to continue to reproduce!
"My family is a distant branch, and it has nothing to do with it originally...... But an uncle took the trouble to open a private school for the children of the family to read and write, and I also had this qualification, so I went to school. ”
Xu Yan chewed the mutton skewers and said,
"After the students finish their farm work, they go to read and write in their spare time, and they just read anyway, and nothing else."
"Family learning is mostly a peasant idea passed down from the ancestors, and the students have practice, so it is easier to understand and recognize the ideas of the ancestors."
"So, this time, when the teacher asked the question, the students thought, I have to be like an ancestor who promotes agriculture. I don't want everyone in the world to have enough to eat, I just want to produce a little more per acre of land and feed a few more people, which is also satisfied. ”
Xu Fenglei gave a thumbs up.
"No wonder you can get Tanhua, if I want to see your down-to-earth ideals that can benefit the country and the people, I will also give you a high score!"
He praised,
"You kid, you're too qualified for admission to my Agricultural College!"
A descendant of a farmer's family, he has a down-to-earth and hard-working character.
This is the helmsman of the future Agricultural College!
"Here comes the skewers!"
"And this fire crystal persimmon, grape stuffing, stir-fried belly slices! The two guest officers use it slowly, and it is not enough to order it again. ”
The guy served the dishes.
All kinds of fragrances were mixed, so Xu Yan couldn't help but gobble it up.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
The more Xu Fenglei looked at it, the more pleasing the kid became, and said,
"Your ideal is very good, but you must keep practicing it as written in the exam paper!"
"I can also give you a good idea, in the future, I will vigorously promote the development of engineering, mathematics, and agriculture in Datang, and greatly improve the status of these disciplines!"
"As long as you take this road seriously, whether it is an achievement or a career, it will never be bad!"
This is not a pie!
This is something he has thought about for a long time! With his talent, he could not directly obtain a towering tree and easily reap the fruits.
But he can plant a few seeds and take care of them.
Ten or twenty years from now, they will be towering trees!
"Yes, students remember!"
Xu Yan's expression was solemn, and he said extremely seriously.
Xu Fenglei bowed slightly, casually sandwiched a piece of pork belly, and threw it into his mouth.
Goods, the taste is strong, sour and delicious.
The average level of this Chang'an chef is getting higher and higher! Any roadside stall can have such a standard.
On the side of the stall, the storyteller held a board in his hand, tapping rhythmically, and said as he knocked;
"It is said that Huang Shusheng went to Beijing to take the exam, and one night, he settled in a broken temple."
"I was about to sleep, but I saw a young woman walk in, Huang Shusheng was shocked, thinking to himself, where did this woman come from in the barren mountains and mountains?"
"He was thinking about it, but the young woman was deceiving, and said-Zhuangyuanlang, the slave family is waiting for you, but after waiting for a long time, I want to make the slave family happy tonight......"
Huang Shusheng was startled, but saw that the woman's eyes were like silk, and she had already begun to undress......"
"Ouch, my stomach hurts a little, gentlemen, let me relieve my hands......"
At this point, the book came to an abrupt end.
Xu Fenglei listened to it with taste, and when he heard him break off, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and sweep away.
But I saw that the audience also shouted:
"What the hell are you! The storytelling stopped at the most critical point! Go on, go on, go on! What's wrong with our money? Listen to 50 more texts! ”
"That's it! Half of your pants are off, and you say you're menstruating! Rain on someone's parade! ”
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Lazy people have a lot of and pee! ”
The audience was a little dissatisfied.
Xu Fenglei also laughed.
This storyteller will whet people's appetite when he tells meat stories, and he has a fight with those who write about the Internet in later generations.
"Hey, people have three urgency......
Mr. Storyteller rolled his eyes, covered his stomach and smiled,
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
"Those who have money can hold a money field, and those who don't have money can buy a cup of tea in the stall to drink, and it is not easy to run a small business......"
"I didn't make a few dollars today, but you are doing well and giving generously...... We are a money fan, as soon as we see this money, we are full of energy, and we are not afraid of stomach pain! ”
Xu Fenglei smiled.
This guy turned out to be a special hanger to cheat people's appetite and cheat money!
The reward is not enough, the tea fee is not enough, so he will not talk about it!
Yes, he can be regarded as a clever ghost, and it is really not difficult for this kind of person to make money.
Whoa! Whoa!
Sure enough, a few wealthy people began to throw money, and those who didn't have money also took out a few pennies to refill a cup of tea.
The storyteller smiled, where is the look of a little stomach pain?
At this moment, a sneaky figure walked to Xu Fenglei's side.
"Hey, ...... guy"
"Do you want a good cigarette?"
Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look over.
But I saw a person with a roe deer head and rat eyes, with his back bent, and he didn't know what he was holding in his arms.
"Good smoke?"
Xu Fenglei glanced at him a few times and said in surprise,
"Do you have the goods? Where did you get it? ”
The man shrugged his shoulders and said:
"You don't care about this, you just say if you want it!"
"I'll show you, I'm all good here, and the emperor's smoke may not be as good as mine! I'll tell you ......"
As he spoke, he opened his mind slightly, revealing a corner.
In that bosom, there was a neat row of cigarettes! Although the roll is a little rough.
"Did you roll it yourself?"
Xu Fenglei said in surprise.
The cigarette seller nodded, stretched out two fingers, and said in a low voice:
"It's not a good roll, but the tobacco in it is a good thing! Specially transported from the Khitan! ”
"Two taels of silver, sell you a bundle! No, you just say if you want it, right? I look for you only when you have a generous hand, and I don't look for ordinary people! ”
Xu Fenglei was stunned.
Dare to pay his own money just now, this kid is eyeing himself, and he thinks he is a big family?
"You let me inspect the goods first."
He came back to his senses and said quietly,
"Who knows if it's straw in it?"
The cigarette seller frowned, and said with some irritation:
"Oh, you're such a grinder, will I sell you a fake?"
"Na, take it! Wrap up, wrap up! ”
He took out a cigarette and delivered it to Xu Fenglei.
Xu Fenglei took it, put it under his nose and sniffed.
Indeed, it has a smell of tobacco, and it is not an inferior kind, at least it is a good product!
Maybe it's not as good as the one that the emperor offers, but it's about the same as what I usually smoke.
He took a closer look and gently tore the wrapping paper open.
"Hey, what are you doing! Don't spoil my stuff! ”
The cigarette seller screamed in pain as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and reached out to grab it.
"Don't make a noise, I'll tear my bag and buy it."
Xu Fenglei pushed his hand away, smacked, and his eyes fell on the exposed tobacco.
He's an old smoker, too.
If you look at the tobacco, you can see what the quality of the cigarette is.
As soon as this package of paper was torn open, Xu Fenglei was sure that this was indeed a good product!
It stands to reason that this should not be circulated among the people, because tobacco is still in short supply, and theoretically only the emperor has a group of nobles who have a way to get it.
Can ...... now
Any person on the street can sell it to him.
Xu Fenglei frowned and looked around.
"You said it, but you have to count! I bought it in a bag! ”
The man who sold cigarettes looked at it for a while, and delivered a bundle of cigarettes to Xu Fenglei, saying,
'This bundle, two taels of silver, no bargaining!' ’
"Take the money, take it."
Xu Fenglei glanced at it.
Good fellow, at a cursory glance, this little bundle is only about ten!
Ten cigarettes, and he will be asked for two taels of silver?
This is as ridiculous as a pack of cigarettes in later generations, selling for tens of thousands of yuan!
It's more expensive than the same weight of gold!
"Two taels of silver? You just go grab it! ”
Xu Fenglei said unhappily,
"Take me as the boss?"
"Take it away, take it away, pay it back to you, I don't want it!"
"What a joke!"
Two taels of silver, he has eaten ten or eight meals in this restaurant, and he still has fish and meat at every meal!
"Hey! You're ......."
The cigarette seller looked anxiously and muttered,
"It's all market price! What a big injustice! Others don't have this fate if they want to buy it! ”
"It's so unfortunate to meet such a person as you......"
With that, he snatched the cigarette that Xu Fenglei tore apart from his hand, turned around and was about to leave.
Xu Fenglei was a little surprised.
I thought this man was a profiteer who demanded a lot of money, but look at his posture......
Is it really a market price?
On the folk black market, cigarettes are sky-high? !
"Wait."
Xu Fenglei took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it over,
"About two taels, a little less, make do with it."
"Give me the cigarette."
The cigarette seller took the broken silver and weighed it twice in his hand before smiling.
"Hehe, okay, let's do business for the first time, I'll give you a discount."
He laughed,
"Here, give."
"Or let's leave it to the address, if you still want it, you can buy it from me, it's a big discount!"
Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"No need, try something fresh."
He refused.
The cigarette seller didn't force it, he carried the silver in his hand, turned around and left, looking for the next target.
Xu Fenglei looked at his back, ate two bites of food casually, and some thoughts appeared in his heart......
……
Next.
South Den.
Li Shimin's study smelled of tobacco, and it was obvious that he smoked a lot when he was working here.
At this moment, when I pushed the door in, it was also smoky.
"Whew-"
Li Er held the pen in one hand and a cigarette in the other, occasionally taking a puff, and his thoughts were like a urine collapse.
"Your Majesty."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand, opened the window, and frowned,
"Can you stand this smoky?"
"In such an environment, your lungs will not be able to stand it! From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, smoking is harmful to the lungs and liver, so you have to smoke less, otherwise your life will be short. ”
At this point, he regretted it a little.
I regret teaching this thing to Li Shimin.
I only smoke two cigarettes occasionally, which does not affect my lifespan, but Li Er is like this......
It's a real possibility that your life span will be shortened! It's so ruthless! No moderation!
"Whew...... I'm used to it, I don't have this thing, my brain is not clear. ”
Li Shimin put down the music, flicked the cigarette ash, and said casually,
"You're looking for me, what's the matter?"
Xu Fenglei pointed to the cigarette butt in Li's second-hand hand.
"For the sake of this thing."
He took out a bundle of cigarettes from his bosom, handed it over, and said,
"Look at this."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, took the cigarette, and it was like Xu Fenglei yesterday, first smelled it, and then tore the wrapper and looked at it.
"That's good! Although it is not as good as the one I smoked, the quality of this tobacco is good enough. ”
Li Er said approvingly,
"Wei Chigong, they usually smoke, isn't this it?"
"You kid smokes better, because he always steals from me."
Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.
"What to steal, I'm above board, okay?"
He retorted, saying,
"It's not Wei Chi Gong who gave them, but I bought it from a black businessman in the people."
"Guess how much this bundle is?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Folk? Cigarettes are circulating among the people? ”
He was amazed,
"This ...... One counts him as ten cents, one hundred? Isn't it too much? ”
He didn't quite know how cigarettes should be priced.
But a hundred texts, it should be about the same.
"Nope."
Xu Fenglei stretched out two fingers and said,
"Two taels of silver, twenty times what you said!"
"And I learned that the market price is about two taels of silver, and the lowest is one or two eight!"
"This price can no longer be described as black-hearted, it is simply a huge profit, and it has become a charcoal!"
Li Shimin: "?! ”
"Two-two? Why don't you grab this?! ”
He was shocked,
"Why is it so expensive? Can anyone buy it? ”
"This ...... Let's do it! ”
Xu Fenglei: "......"
Co-author, I'm the one who is wronged?
"Since the market price is like this, there must be a buyer's market."
Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,
"The market price is so high, which means that the supply exceeds the demand!"
"The demand for this item among the people is also very large, and the imperial court does not sell it publicly, which naturally leads to the rampant black merchants...... This is normal, people who have learned to smoke have a hard time getting rid of it...... To be honest, I have some regrets now. ”
"You shouldn't find this thing, it's harmful!"
He really regretted it!
There are good things about this thing, but there are even more disadvantages! Especially when it comes to good health!
