He went from business to business, first renting boats, then buying his own boats, and eventually growing the business bigger and bigger.

Nowadays, although he is not the richest in Chongcheng County, he has been ranked among the top names in the county, and he has a monopoly on a trade route.

"Master Zhu, I am a scholar with average knowledge, but I am very good at settling accounts, Master Zhu wants to recruit accounts?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

Zhu Qian glanced at Li Qingzhi with some surprise.

He is in his forties, has been in business for more than 20 years, and has met countless people, including many scholars.

Most of those who read looked down on him, even if someone wanted to get money from him because of poverty, they always spoke and behaved with arrogance in the face of him.

He didn't really care, though.

He knew that the status of a scholar was high, and he had accepted it a long time ago, and because of this, he spurred his son every day and let his son study hard.

Although the young man in front of him looked embarrassed, looking at his temperament, he should be a scholar.

It's just that...... This scholar is very enthusiastic about him, and he takes the initiative to ask if he wants to be a bookkeeper?

Zhu Qian likes such people who will take the initiative to fight for it, and he himself is such a person.

But he still said: "I'm sorry, I don't have a shortage of accounts now." ”

He really has no shortage of accounts, and he hires an unknown person to take care of his business...... There was no way he could have done such a thing.

Li Qingzhi was not surprised to hear this.

At this time, people recruit workers, they like to find people they know, and someone recommends them, otherwise after recruiting people, people will run away with money, and they can't even find someone.

However, when he met Zhu Qian, he also thought of another way to make money: "Master Zhu, do you need someone to write a book for you?" ”

"What?" Zhu Qian was a little puzzled.

Li Qing insisted: "Master Zhu, those big families not only have genealogies, but also people with some skills in the clan will also write down their own achievements and compile them into books for future generations to learn...... Mr. Zhu, do you need someone to help you write a book? ”

Li Qingzhi asked this because after meeting Zhu Qian, he suddenly remembered an incident he had encountered in his previous life.

When he was wandering alone, he once entered a villa that was beautifully renovated, and saw thousands of books stacked on top of each other in the villa.

The thousands of books are the autobiographies of the owners of the villas.

The owner of the villa was a man who suddenly became wealthy, and he paid someone to write him an autobiography according to his ideas, and he paid for a book number and published it at his own expense......

He sent a lot of books out, but some stayed at home.

Li Qingzhi had read many books in his previous life, and while he was thinking about copying books, he also thought about whether he could write a book to make money.

But he doesn't even have the money to buy pen and paper now!

And if you think about it carefully, writing a script may not be able to sell, but if you write an autobiography for Zhu Qian...... cinnabar

Can you still give money before?

"Can it still be like this?" Zhu Qian was a little surprised.

"Naturally." Li Qingzhi is very sure. At this time, many people would write autobiographies for posterity, and some would write their lives after their deaths.

He remembers that some historians, when studying history, would refer to the autobiographies of their ancestors that have been preserved by certain families.

Li Qingzhi thought so, and told Zhu Qian in detail what this autobiography was.

He felt that a person like Zhu Qian, who was eager to let everyone know that he was rich, should want an autobiography.

Zhu Qian was indeed moved.

Although he has had money over the years, he has always been looked down upon - although the status of merchants in this dynasty is not as low as in the previous dynasty, it is not high.

Right now...... Can you write a book about his life?

And the reader wants to write a book for him?

Li Qingzhi looked sincere: "Master Zhu, I was seriously ill before, not only spent all my family savings, but also owed debts, so I wanted to find a livelihood, if Master Zhu asked me to write a book, I will do my best to satisfy Master Zhu." ”

Zhu Qian asked again: "How much money does it cost to write this book?" ”

Li Qing insisted: "Master Zhu, just look at it." ”

Zhu Qian thought for a moment, and then said: "You come to my house every day to write a book, I take care of three meals a day, and give another penny of silver every day, and then give another reward after writing, are you willing?" ”

Li Qing didn't want to think about it and agreed: "Thank you, Master Zhu!" ”

One penny of silver a day, one tael for ten days, three taels a month, almost four times!

It's similar to a deposit, and when it's finished, you'll be rewarded!

As for why Zhu Qian asked him to go to Zhu's house to write a book...... It should be because he is afraid that if he is given a deposit, he will run away with the money.

And to write such a book, you must talk to Zhu Qian more.

For today's Li Qingzhi, the most important thing is to find a livelihood, and the Zhu family will pay back the money, which is really good.

Li Qingzhi immediately chatted with Zhu Qian, and praised Zhu Qian without a trace.

He really thinks that Zhu Qian is good, and when he praises people, he naturally looks sincere, and Zhu Qian listens very comfortably.

Therefore, when Li Qingzhi proposed to take the two children to Zhu's house to write a book, Zhu Qian agreed, but it was just two children, and it didn't hurt to let them follow.

Li Qingzhi thanked him again.

He knew that Jin Xiaoye had a lot of things he wanted to do, but he had to be tripped up by two children before, if he could help take care of the children, Jin Xiaoye would be much easier.

Li Qingzhi had little contact with society as an adult before the end of the world, but when the end of the world came, the cruelty of society suddenly unfolded to him.

His experience is not low.

Plus he still has the memories of the original owner...... Li Qingzhi chatted with Zhu Qian, and he could talk about a lot of things, so naturally the more he chatted, the more speculative he became.

While chatting, the people around Zhu Qian asked Zhu Qian if he wanted to prepare "dim sum".

This is a dialect saying, which is equivalent to lunch.

Zhu Qian looked at Li Qingzhi: "Young Master Li, let's find a place to eat?" ”

"I'm hungry and I can't ask for it." Li Qingzhi naturally would not refuse.

Zhu Qian has always disliked some people who obviously want to, but repeatedly refuse, Li Qingzhi's calmness made him like it, he glanced at the restaurant near the dock, thought about it and asked, "Where does Li Gongzi want to eat?" Going to Zhengyue Building? ”

Zhengyue Building is one of the largest restaurants in Chongcheng County, and Li Qingzhi remembers that he had seen that restaurant when he was looking for a job all the way before.

However, he refused: "Zhengyue Building is a little far away, let's just eat nearby." ”

On a hot day, Zhu Qian was on the ship to check before, and he was waiting at the dock, so he must have attached great importance to that batch of goods, and he should want to stay nearby.

He's the same, he still has to wait for Jin Xiaoye!

When Zhu Qian heard this, he pointed to a shop not far away: "Then let's go to Aunt Cui to eat steamed buns?" ”

There is a shop directly opposite the wharf, and on the cloth hanging at the door, the words "Aunt Cui" are written.

Li Qingzhi had no opinion: "Naturally it's good!" ”

There are no high-end shops on the dock, and the food sold is relatively ordinary, and Aunt Cui's bun shop is already one of the goodest.

There are two kinds of steamed buns in Cui Damiang's steamed bun shop, one is not so white flour wrapping, the filling is generally cheap, and there are large quantities of steamed buns, which are sold at the door, and do not provide diners with tables and chairs for diners.

On the other hand, steamed buns made with fine white flour are more expensive and can be eaten by diners.

In addition to steamed buns, there are also wonton noodles and soy milk to choose from when eating in the house.

Before Li Qingzhi went in, he smelled the rich fragrance, and when he entered, his eyes fell on the steamers that were steaming buns, and he couldn't move away.

Even the cheapest buns sold outside are absolutely delicious in his opinion, not to mention the delicate buns inside!

"The steamed bun wontons made by Aunt Cui taste excellent, Li Gongzi can taste it." Zhu Qian smiled and asked the store to serve them five bowls of wontons, and asked for five baskets of xiaolongbao, and he even asked Aunt Cui to help pack ten large meat buns.

When Li Qingzhi chatted with him before, he said that his wife and father also came to the county seat.

Zhu Qian is a businessman who is good at socializing, and if he is willing, he can naturally take care of all aspects of Li Qingzhi.

Counting Li Damao and Li Ermao, there are a total of five people who eat, in fact, Li Damao and Li Ermao are small, and they can't eat a bowl of wontons and a cage of xiaolongbao, but Zhu Qian still asks for it, and the method is comfortable.

Li Qing was sitting in the store, and he couldn't talk to Zhu Qian properly, his attention was all attracted by the aroma of the food in the store.

Li Damao and Li Ermao were at a loss, but they were also salivating.

When Zhu Qian saw these three people, he inexplicably remembered his past - when he was young, he often couldn't eat.

Seeing that the steamed buns and wontons were brought up, Zhu Qian smiled and beckoned Li Qing to eat them.

Li Qingzhi took a xiaolongbao with chopsticks, and when he bit it, he felt that every cell in his body was shouting "delicious".

The skin of this xiaolongbao is not thin, and the meat filling is not large, but it is difficult for him to eat such a fine grain as flour, not to mention that it is also packed with pork.

Li Qingzhi showed the expression that he must have when he was eating, as if he was eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

After Zhu Qian became rich, he ate a lot of good things, and gradually, there were fewer things that could make him feel delicious.

When he was young, he would be happy for a long time eating the cheapest steamed buns outside, but now he ...... No matter how delicious the buns are, he will fill his stomach.

But now I saw Li Qing's expression of eating...... He suddenly had an appetite and felt that today's buns were particularly delicious.

I think the buns are delicious, and Li Damao and Li Ermao.

They had eaten steamed buns, and Jin Xiaoye had bought steamed buns to take home for them to eat, but Jin Xiaoye bought the cheap buns outside, which were not as delicious as the buns in their hands.

And that was half a year ago, and the two children have long forgotten the taste of steamed buns!

Right now...... This xiao long bao is so delicious!

The xiaolongbao is delicious, and so are the wontons!

The wonton wrappers are rolled out thinly and filled with shiitake mushrooms and pork...... The two children who had never eaten shiitake mushrooms took a bite and their eyes were full of amazement.

While Li Qing was eating with them, Jin Xiaoye took Li Laogen to the dock.

She looked at it roughly, didn't see Li Qingzhi, and put her things on the ground and sat down - she was really tired.

Li Laogen sat next to Jin Xiaoye: "Why haven't they come over yet?" Xiao Ye, you actually gave Li Qing ten cents in one breath before, aren't you afraid that he will spend all the money? Why don't you give me money? ”

Jin Xiaoye took out five copper plates and gave them to Li Laogen.

As long as Li Laogen helps her, after she makes money, she will give Li Laogen a little money.

But she won't give more, after all, Li Laogen can't save money at all.

After giving the money, she also said, "You don't want to eat steamed buns?" Go buy buns and eat them. ”
