"Master, the things you ordered have been brought here." As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Xian'er and Luo Liang carried a box into Chen Qi's yard.
Chen Yue waved his hand, pretending to be helpless and said: "Brother Qi is really generous. This money is considered as a bonus to Brother Qi last month. But he just said that the original contribution money was the loyalty between brothers. He has already He would never want to escape from the world of mortals and only seek the path of saints. Taking these things without them makes people look down upon him. How can Brother Seven be as greedy for money as we are? Take them all back!"
Chen Qi frowned and glanced at the box, wondering if they were using something to deceive him again. How much money can a small winery make in a month? Do you have to carry a box to show him a show? Just now, Chen Yue laughed at his poor performance. Even a fool would not believe it if they carried a box and said it was a bonus for him.
Xian'er pouted her small lips and muttered: "See, Brother Qi doesn't look like this on a daily basis, and he doesn't even want a hundred strings of money delivered to his door"
Luo Liang saw something. He had also heard about Chen Qi going to Wenfuji to buy hu¨¡lu that day. It was almost dinner time, and he and Gong Fu were not in the shop. They wanted to rush back when they heard the news. Chen Qi had already bought Hu¨¡lu and left. It seemed that Chen Qi didn't know that he was also one of the owners of Wenfu Ji, but he always regarded him as a servant in front of the two of them. The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Laughing, it was quite hard to hold it in.
Xian'er's voice was not loud, but Chen Qi could hear it clearly. He sneered in his heart, laughing at the fact that the three of them were not afraid of flashing their tongues when talking big words. He only occupied 10% of that Laoshizi wine shop, and in the first month he Can you get a hundred dollars in interest? It's almost enough to grab them, but they just stood there and gave them away in a calm manner: "Money and money are the things that are outside of me. I have the heart to study poetry and books in my room, so I won't send Fifth Brother back."
Chen Yue also bowed his hands: "Seventh Brother is a righteous man. I didn't realize that there was a person like Seventh Brother in my family before. It really opened my eyes. It's because we are vulgar and don't dare to trouble Seventh Brother to send us off." He reached out to support the box that Luo Liang was carrying. After Luo Liang adjusted his strength, he pretended to trip over a stone under his feet. Luo Liang was caught off guard and the box fell forward and fell to the ground. The hundred coins contained inside fell apart with a "swish" sound.
Chen Qi immediately stared at his bull's-eyes, his mouth opened exaggeratedly as if he didn't want to close up, and his hands remained in a gesture of giving each other away.
Chen Yue turned around and smiled sheepishly: "My feet slipped for a moment, Brother Qi will forgive me." He quickly bent down and picked up the money on the ground. While pretending to scold Luo Liang, he said: "Why are you so careless? Pick up the stuff on the ground quickly and don't pollute Brother Seventh's yard."
Luo Liang only agreed and apologized to Chen Qi with an apologetic look. Xian'er beside her also squatted down to help pick up the money.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter." Chen Qi reacted, wiped his mouth, and hurriedly stepped forward to pretend to help. Er shouted again: "Oh, this money is scattered all over the floor. I'm afraid it won't be easy to pick it up, so I went first Leave it here with me, and it won¡¯t be too late to come back and take it back again.¡±
"How can this be done? It would be inappropriate to put these things in Brother Qi's courtyard. Could it be that people misunderstood Brother Qi's noble character?" Chen Yue glared. Pretending not to understand what he meant.
Chen Qi was still a little surprised and confused in his heart, but the one hundred dollars sent to his door was neither stolen nor robbed. Even if it was really improper, no one could blame him. How could he really refuse? You must know that although the Chen family has a big business. There is an income of several thousand pounds a year, but there are so many people to support. To support such a large family business, he only received three monthly allowances for a month. In addition to the personal money his mother took out from the dowry to subsidize him a little, he could only spend seven or eight dollars a month at most. One hundred strings is almost equal to his annual expenditure.
And based on Chen Yue¡¯s words, this is a month¡¯s bonus! If he refuses the money today, his "conscience" will be deeply condemned
Chen Qi pulled Chen Yue's sleeve and said with a sneer on his face: "Fifth brother, how did you make this money? How can you have so much money?"
"Brother Qi only focuses on reading the books of sages, why should he care about these unattractive things?" Chen Yue replied deliberately and calmly.
Chen Qi coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and was speechless.
Chen Yue saw that he was pitiful and did not intend to tease him anymore. He explained: "I asked you to take some responsibilities earlier, but you ignored the wine shop. I'm afraid you didn't even bother to move the wine shop out of the courtyard of your home." Do you know? Do you know what is being done there?"
Chen Qi¡¯s face was clear and he said: ¡°Isn¡¯t it because the third uncle arranges his schoolwork very tightlythen what does the wine shop do?¡±
"Ask Luo Liang what kind of work he does now." Chen Yue didn't know, and deliberately suppressed him.
Chen Qi didn¡¯t take it seriously and turned around to lookXiang Luo Liang, thinking about how to speak. After all, Luo Liang was still a servant, but he didn't dare to make any gestures. Before he could ask, he said, "I am now the shopkeeper of Wenfuji."
Chen Qi didn't react for a moment, but still asked: "Which Wenfu Ji?"
"It's the Wenfuji who sells hu¨¡lu. The last time Seventh Brother went to buy hu¨¡lu, Gong Fu and I happened to go out for a drink. Later I heard that I asked Seventh Brother to forgive me for my neglect."
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Although Wenfu Ji's store is not big, it is known to everyone in Hangzhou's young master circle. Now that the weather has turned hot again, he didn't care much about fashion in the first place. People who buy things are also willing to buy a bottle of the recently released refreshing hu¨¡ dew to repel mosquitoes. Nowadays, the new products are sold for six or seven guan. Although the hu¨¡ dew that initially sold for four guan per bottle has dropped to three guan. , but the number of people buying it has increased several times. Nowadays, when I go to a party and don¡¯t sprinkle a few drops of hu¨¡ dew on myself, I feel embarrassed to say hello to people. I am afraid that the money earned by Wenfu Ji can catch up with the income of salt, wine and other special items of the imperial court. It was actually made by that small side courtyard wine shop?
At first, he was still a little doubtful of Luo Liang's words, but when he turned around and saw the copper coins scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but believe that this inexplicable net worth of his own was worth at least a few hundred coins?
"Are you serious?" Although Chen Qi was already seventy-eight percent convinced, he still couldn't help but confirm it. The expression on his face was extremely exciting, his cheeks were stained with two excited blushes, and the corners of his mouth were full of excitement. He kept twitching, and it was obvious that he wanted to laugh out loud but was holding back.
"Don't dare to deceive Brother Qi." Luo Liang replied with a smile.
"Hahaha" Chen Qi was so excited that he just wanted to look up to the sky and scream, but Xian'er suddenly muttered to the side: "Why is the seventh brother smiling so happily? Didn't he only read the books of sages and didn't even want the bonus?
Chen Qi¡¯s expression of wanting to laugh froze on his face, and he stretched out his hand to scratch his ears. His face turned red, he looked at Xian'er and then at Chen Yue. I was scratching my head for a moment and didn't know what to think of.
"Go, little girl, big or small, I was just joking with Fifth Brother, how can I take it seriously?" Chen Qi scolded Xian'er. There was no rebuke to ordinary servants in his words, and he turned to Chen Yue and said: "Fifth brother, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions. Since I also occupy a part of this Wenfu Ji, I must take some responsibility."
Who knew that Xian'er was used to getting along with Chen Yue on weekdays. Not afraid of Chen Qi, he put his green and tender little hands behind his back, his little feet grinding the stones on the ground, and said quietly: "When I just arrived at the gate of the yard, I heard Qi Geer say that if you get into trouble, call the young master. grandfather¡¡"
"" Chen Qi was speechless for a moment. Knowing that Xian'er was close to Chen Yue, he didn't dare to offend her again at this time and looked at Chen Yue for help.
"Ahem." Chen Yue coughed twice. But after all, he was still his brother, and he didn't dare to really let him call him grandpa. He stretched out his hand and knocked Xian'er's little head, and said to Chen Qi: "Brother Qi, don't mind, I have spoiled her bad all day long. I will teach her a lesson when I go back." .¡±
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter" Chen Qi quickly waved his hand generously.
Chen Yue pondered for a moment, and Su Rong said: "Brother Qi will keep this money for now. You will not be short of interest in the future, but now there is something that Brother Qi has to do. I still have to think about it then. Discuss it with your family, I'm afraid that Brother Seven will have to go out for a month or two"
In the elegant pavilion of Hongyun Building, Zheng Xian, the head of the Zheng family, is sitting at the top. Below are several other main members of the Hangzhou Grain and Rice Guild.
The commercial handicraft industry in the Song Dynasty was extremely developed. There were often guilds established by large-scale industries in various places. At first, they were intended to unite the entire industry, but by this time they had become organizations that exploited small and medium-sized businesses. It can be said that in places where guilds were powerful, The guilds' control over their respective industries is almost overwhelming. New entrants or those from other places who come to do related business cannot even open a shop without the guild's approval. Even if they can barely stand, they will be squeezed out and suppressed by each company. Joining a guild means being controlled by the guild. If the goods that arrive are not sold, they will have to be peeled off by the guild, which makes small households with no foundation miserable.
Hangzhou Grain Bank implements a rotating village system. Several companies take turns to be the leaders of the guild. Now it is the Zheng family who is the village leader.
Zheng Xianpin is impressed. He frowned at the tea soup in the tea bowl, as if he was not satisfied with the taste of the tea. He grabbed a pinch of salt from the jar next to him and sprinkled it in. He shook the tea bowl slightly, raised his eyes and said, "Fan Xiwen came to see me yesterday. , saying they want us to lower food prices back to normal, what do you think?"
Several sneers came from below. Shen Feng, the third largest grain merchant in Hangzhou City, stopped ordering tea. He didn't care that Zheng Xian interrupted him while ordering tea. He clapped his hands and said calmly. : "So what if it drops to just one stone? Wait until there are people in the cityMore than 20,000 kilograms of grain have been sold out, and it is not up to us to decide how grain prices will rise. "
Another big grain merchant, Mu'en, was sitting next to him. He was quite strong, and he didn't know where he was. Although he was tall and thick, with narrow eyes and a sharp look, he was swaying between the plump buttocks of the maid, watching. Going up gave people an inexplicable and wretched feeling. Hearing this, he looked back without saying anything, turned around and patted Shen Feng on the shoulder with a smile, "Why is An Nian so stingy? Don't you think 'worry about the world first, then worry about it later'" The world is happy and happy'? I think it is in line with Fan Gong's wishes. Only when each stone is reduced to 800 liters can we show the innocence of our grain business."
The others also laughed when they heard this, obviously in a good mood. Zheng Xian laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who refuses to do anything to show your face. You only have three to five hundred shi of food and rice in the city. It doesn't hurt even if it's down to a penny or a stone. We all have thousands of stones left at home, so you can stand and talk without pain in your back."
Mu En didn't care and said with a smile: "I don't have a big business like yours. A small family has to save more to make some money to pass on the family line. Ask He Lian if his land is authentic. His family in the city The food reserves are even less than mine.¡±
The name of He Lian Hua in Mu En's mouth is He Hanlian (h¨¤nd¨¤n), which means Lian Hua. I don't know why his family gave him this name. Everyone nicknamed him Lian Hua for fun. He Hanpian took a sip and said, "You're a bastard and want to continue the family line, but don't you allow me to leave some money to buy a concubine with two rooms?" After saying that, he reached out and pinched the buttocks of the maid next to him, causing a cry. With a suppressed scream like a sob, she turned to Zheng Xian with a smile and said, "If I were as smart as a maid in Zheng Xingshou's house, it would be no problem to add a few more stones."
Zheng Xianpin is impressed. Tea, he said with a smile: "Sooner or later, you two will die on a woman's belly." After saying that, he pressed his hands down to signal everyone to stop laughing. After several maids wisely exited, he said solemnly: "In the next two months It¡¯s the top priority. How are each family prepared for what we discussed earlier?¡±
