Volume 2 A River of Spring Water and a River of Green Chapter 1 String of Beads

Qin Han and Wang Weiming's blood-killing covenant was agreed at the end of April in this spring and autumn fruit, like a cloud in the sky, coming gently, walking gently, without disturbing anything, everything is back to the original point, and it is not involved with each other.

To Lin Ergou, Qin Han only said lightly, "It's over, just act according to the plan we have made, and you can go to Wang Weiming for help when necessary." “

Lin Ergou knew that Qin Han had communicated with the mastermind behind the scenes a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to be so neat, but in his opinion, Qin Han has always played cards out of common sense, and today's experience is nothing, just listen.

The results of the government examination also came out as early as half a month ago, Yancheng eighteenth, it is a bad or bad result, the three prefectures and three cities each admit fifty people, the rest of the prefectures admit thirty people, and the imperial capital admits one hundred people, this is a good thing for Shuanghe County, but it has been the case for all dynasties, and the rest of the people have nothing to say, because Jiushui City, one of the three cities, is not the political state capital of Shuanghe County, and Yangcheng is where it is, so that there are eighty places in Shuanghe County alone.

Don't underestimate the extra thirty places, just these thirty are enough to ensure that Jiangnan Province occupies one-third of the seats in the imperial court, but this is also a matter of no way, the entire Jiangnan Province accounts for less than one-tenth of the territory of Great Qin, but it gives birth to one-fifth of the population of Great Qin, there are as many as five towns with a population of more than one million alone, and the rest are countless, and the annual income of the treasury accounts for two-sevenths, and they can't help but speak hard.

Recently, I don't know why, there are a lot of invitations from all walks of life, which makes Qin Han, who planned to accompany his family well, worried, maybe he saw some ways from the incident a few days ago, after all, not everyone in Yancheng is qualified to argue with the Wang family, and the original shopkeeper Wan came to the store every day to find Lin Ergou to greet him, and every time he brought a good gift, Sima Zhao's heart was undoubtedly revealed.

Qin Han can ignore these things, but there is an invitation that can't be ignored, because the signature at the bottom is Wang Yuxiu, and as soon as he picks up this invitation, he has a bad feeling in his heart, after all, the four big characters on the cover are long and long, how can they not get around.

As if he was fighting between heaven and man, Qin Han took a deep breath, and then opened the invitation with his slightly trembling hand, Qin Han did not miss anything, and read it carefully word by word.

After closing the invitation, Qin Han sat on the rattan chair and slowly closed his eyes, at this time he felt like drinking medicine, his mouth was full of bitterness, for no reason, he didn't know why it was like this, obviously he didn't love her, he just treated her like a sister.

After a long time, Qin Han somewhat understood, people can be ruthless, even if a piece of jade that has been played for several years suddenly breaks, there will be a feeling of heartache, not to mention this, the time is at noon the day after tomorrow, and the banquet is not very grand, but in the restaurant diagonally opposite her tailor's shop.

Even if she understood this, Qin Han was still irritable, and she didn't understand why she didn't even want to tell herself when she was engaged, why she hurriedly found someone to marry?

"Brother Han'er, I should get married in two years, will you marry me then?"

Qin Han helplessly supported his forehead and said, "Please, I'm younger than you, besides, I think marrying this thing, shouldn't it be time to marry or marry, isn't it meaningless?"

Xiu'er looked at Qin Han, shook her head and said, "I don't understand." “

"Well, let me ask you a question, what do you think is the biggest difference between humans and animals?"

Xiu'er tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Animals can't chop wood, cook, and put on clothes. “

Hearing this, Qin Han nodded awkwardly and said: "What you said is also reasonable, in fact, you don't know how to use tools effectively, but the biggest difference is not only this, animals don't have their thoughts, they only do instincts, there is no good or evil, right or wrong." “

Xiu'er shook her head to show that she didn't understand, and Qin Han said again: "Let me tell you this, if you just regard marriage as a fixed pattern, then what is the difference between you and which animals? “

"Then I have this kind of affection for Brother Han'er! plus that fixed pattern, isn't this appropriate?"

Qin Han couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he thought of this, at that time they still had nothing to talk about, Xiu'er was always sticking to herself, since the last time she said goodbye, she began to gradually become estranged, until now.

......

Lin Ergou is his own big shopkeeper in the future, and sooner or later he will have to teach him this, so Qin Han said patiently: "What is a brand? You can understand it as a business, of course, it needs to be refined." ”

"The big concept is that similar to the restaurant is a business, for people to eat and drink, the teahouse is another business, the green house is another business, and under these restaurants, what else will there be in the classification?"

Lin Ergou thought for a while and said, "There are restaurants, snack shops, and tea stalls. ”

"Yes, we belong to the category of snack shops, but although the problem potato flour has been in our hands for more than a year, its fame is not as fast as it has been in these three days, why is this?"

"Because our pricing is still relatively luxurious among ordinary people, but after a long time to understand and satisfy their hunger, most of the people who patronize us still belong to the middle and upper class people. ”

"So, this price is a little unreasonable from the beginning, and sooner or later it will have to be changed, so it's better to take advantage of this shareholder wind to drop to the end!"

"Why is this?" Lin Ergou wondered.

"Is this price reasonable at the moment?" Lin Ergou shook his head firmly when he heard this.

"Since it is unreasonable, it will not exist for a long time, it must be just a flash in the peach blossoms, so we don't have to panic, wait until we have studied the most reasonable price, as for the brand power just mentioned, it is because of this shareholder wind, not only their fame has started, but even ours is the same, so the customer flow has rebounded in the past two days, after all, their store can only receive so many people every day, and now as long as anyone can boil the opponent to death, who can get the greatest benefit. ”

Lin Ergou became more and more excited the more he listened, he didn't expect that there were so many doorways here, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about how the young master knew such things in his little head, but he didn't want to ask about them, he just wanted to know what to do next.

"Hehe, the easiest way for you to remember something that you want people to accept and spread in the shortest amount of time is to go from the top down. ”

"From top to bottom?"

"In the future, there is no single price and style of our potato flour, I will divide it into four types, the first is the ordinary version sold in the store, only five yuan, the second is the standard version, the price returns to the previous price of ten yuan, the style is the same as before, the third is the deluxe version, each serving of twenty yuan, in which there will be a lot more vegetables and meat, and there will be secret condiments to add Oh!

Speaking of this, Lin Ergou couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "Fifty wen a bowl? Who would eat such an expensive thing?"

"This is the way of doing business, rats have rat holes, snakes have snake holes, do you think these two will come together? Sometimes those princes and nobles, wealthy families want to be different from others, if they are all the same, how can they reflect the difference in their identities?"

"That's right," Lin Ergou muttered.

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Han slapped him on the head and said, "Okay, don't leave me with ink, hurry up and buy me a few hundred catties of sesame seeds and come back." ”

"Young master, do you want to make sesame cakes? But you don't need so much?"

"You'll know when you buy it, go ahead!"

After Lin Ergou left, Qin Han muttered to himself: "I really don't know what Great Qin has done in the past few hundred years except for wars, and I don't even know that sesame seeds can squeeze oil." ”

In his previous life, Qin Han remembered that sesame oil began to be squeezed and eaten thousands of years ago, and it was all the rage in the Tang Dynasty, and it was almost a necessary thing for rice blending, but in Daqin, it was almost useless except for making sesame cakes and sesame cakes, what a waste!

In less than half an hour, Fuquan and Suzi resisted three hundred catties of sesame seeds, Qin Han nodded with a smile, and drove away some inconsequential people, leaving only Lin Ergou, Fuquan, Zhao Shun, Yanzi, and Xu Huang, who was watching them busy.

First instructed Fuquan and Zhao Shuan to wash the sesame seeds, and then nodded with satisfaction after washing them three or four times in a row, and when the moisture in them was dried, they began to stir-fry in the pot, and constantly let Zhao Shuan, who made the fire, control the size of the fire, and finally after a burst of stir-frying, the fried sesame seeds came out of the pot.

After a period of temperature, the fried sesame seeds are poured into the stone mill and ground finely, this kind of work is generally done by livestock, but now the livestock here are only the dog eggs in the arms of the swallow, and Ah Huang tied to the back door, even the pig in the pigsty before was also because there was nothing to feed it, it had already been killed to eat meat, so a few men present had to take turns to grind.

Grinding sesame seeds is not like grinding some other things, you need to take the trouble to maximize its oil yield over and over again, after all, sesame seeds are small, Fuquan and Zhao Xuan are tired and collapsed, so they have to go out by Lin Ergou, but now Lin Da's shopkeeper is arrogant and expensive, and after a few laps, he began to lose his breath, and Qin Han, who rolled his eyes, had to go out in person.

It is worthy of a practitioner, who grinds out all the sesame seeds in the stone mill in one breath, while the swallow stays under the stone mill, like a midwife, watching a drop of sesame oil fall into the vat below.

Rao is Qin Han is Lian Jiazi, and he couldn't stand this effort, and after instructing Lin Ergou and the others about the next matters, he spread it on the grass mat on the side, Xu Huang looked at him with interest at the moment and said, "Where did you kid know these strange methods, could it be that he starved to death in his previous life?"

"Hehe, your old man is right, I was really a starving ghost reincarnated in my previous life!"

Seeing that Qin Han avoided talking about it, Xu Huang glanced at him meaningfully and said no more, and after an hour or so, Yanzi ran to Qin Han excitedly with a copper basin and said, "Brother, it's done, it's done, why is this thing so fragrant?"

Lin Ergou and the others also couldn't hide their excitement and followed behind, Qin Han sighed when he heard this: "I've taught this everything, if it doesn't work, I might as well wipe my neck!"

"Young master, then I'll add this thing to our powder tomorrow?"

"None of you are allowed to move this thing without me speaking, just keep it as it is for the past two days. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but Yanzi couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?"

Hearing this, Qin Han replied incorrectly: "In the next two days, your task is to let all the remaining people who know how to make potato flour know and teach them the process of making sesame oil, and tell them that this is our Jedi turnover, and we must not tell others!"

"Young master, no!" Lin Ergou said hurriedly.

And Yanzi looked at Qin Han and then at Xu Huang on the side as if he understood something, his mouth narrowed as if he could laugh at a flower, Qin Han saw this and said sharply: "Yanzi, don't talk nonsense!"
