Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

A nobleman who set off from Beijing took half a month to arrive in Wuxian County, Xiangcheng. The nobleman was about double ten years old, and even though he was exhausted by boats and cars, he still looked extravagant. temperament.

Shopkeeper Wu got the news early on that the master sent the young master over to talk about ice making with the two sons of the Wang family. He has been busy renting a house recently, and it is not clear how long the young master will stay here. Even if it is only for three or four days, the young master cannot be allowed to Living in the inn.Just renting the house is not enough, there is still one or two cleanings to be done. After finishing the work, shopkeeper Wu forgot to find the two brothers of the Wang family and told them that their young master's family is coming to Wu County, just for Bing Fang.

In the past half a month, the two Wang family brothers have not had a good time. The people in the inn and several restaurants in the city sit at a table each, which delays a lot of things. One or two, the remaining person holds several positions, so it is easy to have some minor problems. Fortunately, the customers who come here are all talkative people. If not, there may be some troubles.

Tian Ding intends to raise the price, but his eldest brother recently had a sudden business acumen. After Tian Ding analyzed how to get the maximum profit from ice-making, Wang Xiubai thought that the one-time sale of the steamed stuffed bun recipe was a loss.Tian Ding didn't give his eldest brother too much analysis, he only said that steamed stuffed buns are not their main business, and they don't need to put too much energy into it.From the beginning, they planned to exchange the steamed stuffed bun formula for money. Now even if they make a good profit every day, they would not feel it a pity.As for the elder brother's thoughts, Tian Ding only hopes that the elder brother can understand the situation at home.But right now is indeed not the best time, no matter what, we have to wait until we have finished talking with the owner of the grocery store before dealing with the recipe of the steamed stuffed bun.

After the young master moved in, he didn't immediately look for Tian Ding, but asked the shopkeeper how the Wang family was doing now. After listening to the shopkeeper talk about the business he had done with the two brothers of the Wang family, the young master asked, "Where are they in the rice field?" Raising crabs? How can they be raised? Won’t it harm the rice fields?”

"It doesn't sound like that. The kid also said that the rice with crab is more fragrant and tastes better." Shopkeeper Wu is very respectful. In this way, small grocery stores will not take root everywhere.

"Oh?" Your young master narrowed his eyes, if he is well-raised, he can try it. "Wait for the autumn harvest, send someone to Beijing." Then your young master brought up the business, and after listening to shopkeeper Wu saying that the steamed stuffed buns sold by the brothers of the Wang family taste good, your young master became interested and wanted to send someone to buy some back.

"Young master, I'm afraid they won't be able to buy it if you send someone to buy it now." Shopkeeper Wu glanced at the sky outside, counted the time, and respectfully dissuaded him, "Their business is good, and it won't be until noon at the latest."

The aristocrat could not believe it, he ate a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and he thought it was nothing more than that, it was not that he had never eaten steamed stuffed buns, and the royal cooks in the palace were better than the two brothers of the Wang family?The buns taste just like that.Inns and restaurants are actually taking up tables every day for the steamed stuffed bun recipe, "Then the two brothers won't report to the government?"

"When you open the door for business, who will push the customers out? From my humble opinion, after selling the ice cubes, the Wang family brothers will sell the steamed stuffed buns one by one." Shopkeeper Wu saw that the young owner didn't seem to believe that steamed buns taste good, so he said Not much to say.After explaining the business situation in Wu County in detail, Fang asked the owner when he would see the Wang family brothers.

After driving the ox cart back home, the two brothers unloaded the things. Wang Xiubai went to replace his father as usual. Now the field hired distant relatives from the same village to help watch the field at night, and the father and son still changed shifts during the day.

At first, when the village chief saw Wang Laoliu walking out of the house, he wanted to open the school again, but Wang Laoliu refused to mention it again.Wang Laoliu said bluntly that he was not liked by the emperor, and he was afraid of delaying the students, but he is also very good now, helping his sons take care of the fields in the morning, and going home to write in the afternoon, it is very leisurely.The village chief was relieved by Wang Laoliu's change. Even if he was rejected, the village chief was not angry. At least now the old six looked very energetic, and they would not let the two children do so much. take into account.It's just that... the village head is still not optimistic about this place.

After finishing his work, Tianding was about to go back to the house for a nap, when he was called into the house by his father, who hadn't taken a nap, and said with a straight face that he wanted to learn more.Tian Ding was speechless for a while, but still listened to the question with an open mind. As for the answer, please forgive him for not being able to stick to words after living in ancient times for seven years.Listening to Tian Ding's plain-spoken answer, Wang Laoliu blew his beard and stared.

In the evening, when Wang Xiubo returned home, as soon as he entered the hospital, he saw his sister winking non-stop. However, he and his sister failed to understand each other, and did not understand what her sister wanted to express.Tim Ding was cooking rice soup and baking pies in the kitchen.The family has been eating meat every now and then, and everyone is getting fatter. My mother looks better, but she still eats soup every day.The father's face was full of red, scolding people, very confident.Sighing, the eldest brother is afraid he will be scolded when he comes back. He has no interest in ancient Chinese, and I don't know why my father thought of studying it today.

"But Xiu Bai is back?" His father's voice came from inside the room. In the yard, Wang Xiuyun sighed and looked at her elder brother sympathetically.Tian Ding was quite loud in the kitchen, but he didn't notice anyone coming in. As for his father's voice, it was even harder to hear.

Not long after, Wang Xiuyun came into the kitchen, "I'm afraid the eldest brother will not be able to escape being scolded." After speaking, she still did not forget to glare at her younger brother, "Why can't you recite the book properly?"

"Sister, I really can't memorize the memorization if I want to. I still can't memorize it even if I play a handboard. Besides, I am literate, and it's not for the sake of fame. Why do I have to memorize those literary words?" Tian Ding heard. The elder brother was scolded, and he felt very guilty, but he really couldn't memorize it when he was asked to learn it. When he was learning Chinese, he was not good at memorizing it. Time lag.

"At least with my father, I have to deal with it! When I didn't hear it, did you always speak vernacular when you replied to your father?" Wang Xiuyun felt that what the younger brother said seemed to be correct.

"It's fine if the meaning is right, and it's not about taking the exam, what should I do so strictly." After Tian Ding finished speaking, he looked at the eldest sister, "Father won't just write down the matter that my elder brother asked me to take the imperial examination! I'm not that A piece of material." Because Tian Ding didn't trust his father, he was always suspicious of his father. Of course, he used to hide it in his heart and speculate, but now he said it outright.

"Nonsense." Wang Xiuyun said so, but she also felt somewhat suspicious in her heart.

Tian Ding didn't say anything else, he just focused on pancakes.Wang Xiuyun was worried, so she went out of the kitchen, ready to hear if her father was scolding her elder brother.

After Wang Xiubai entered the house, he saw his father with a serious face and a branch in his hand.Wang Xiubai had a premonition of uneasiness, saluted his father respectfully, and waited for his father to speak.

Wang Laoliu opened his mouth and asked what Du taught the younger brother.After Wang Xiubai reported the title of the book.The sixth child asked why Jun did it, and Wang Xiubai recited the words. After he finished reciting, he carefully looked at his father. Wang Xiubai found that his father's face seemed to be worse than before.Wang Laoliu narrowed his eyes, "Master taught you all these?"

"Yes." Wang Xiubo didn't dare to say too much, for fear of making mistakes.

"No wonder my son fails in the exam every year." Wang Laoliu sighed. At that time, he thought that he was not as good as the university, so he asked his eldest son to worship the university as a teacher, and the university accepted the ceremony of apprenticeship. It will cause dissatisfaction in the university, but the university does not give enlightenment, and it is completely according to the script.The eldest son is a hard-educated generation, and he hasn't mastered it well, so how can he not fail to be famous in the imperial examination.Wang Laoliu sighed, he really didn't know people well, shook his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, everyone said he was clean and honest, but now he felt that the few years he had been an official was not as useful as what his youngest son did for half a year when he returned to his hometown.

Wang Xiuyun, who was eavesdropping outside the house, didn't hear the scolding, felt strange in her heart, and didn't dare to stay for a long time, so she went back to the kitchen and expressed her doubts.Tian Ding didn't stop moving his hands, and thought about what his elder sister said, "Maybe father didn't want to scold elder brother in the first place."

"Your face is so long, how can you not scold?" Wang Xiuyun felt a little afraid of her father because of being slapped, seeing her father would always stay far away, and she was afraid of being hit again.

"Father's heart is deep." After Tian Ding finished speaking, he didn't say any more, and asked his sister to come in and tell him that he could eat.

After the meal, Wang Laoliu asked the three children to sit down, "Tomorrow, I will find another person to do a free job. After you come back from the city, you will teach your father and you."

Tian Ding immediately frowned, "This is not appropriate. The people hired are all distant relatives. They are not the sons of the family and have not signed the contract. Although they live in the same village, they may not be trustworthy. Handing over the family property to others will damage the I can't tell." Why did my father stop for a few days, and then started to toss around again.

"Then buy someone." Wang Laoliu said so confidently, with a straight face, as if he would pounce on others if they objected.

"Father, who do you think we are? Buying people, where does the money come from?" Tian Ding doesn't care about his father's set, if he has no money, he has no money. Even if he has money, he still has no money. He knows that even if his father gets better, Still can't let go of the official airs, and even still thinking about something.

"You... unfilial son!" Wang Laoliu was so angry that he pointed at Tian Ding's hand shaking, and then shouted sharply, "You are making a lot of money every day, and you still haven't hired someone!"

"Aren't you going to eat or drink in the future? My eldest brother is going to marry a wife, and he has to manage money for the provincial examination. My mother's medicine money, my father's paper money, and my sister's rouge money. Which one is not money? You have to rip cloth to make clothes when the season changes, and your father talks about it. If you want to be an old man, you should spend some money! Is it so easy to maintain a family?" Tian Ding was so angry that he was not a filial son... "If I was really unfilial, I would have kicked you out a long time ago Yes! I have hands, feet, and a strong body, but you want me, a seven-year-old child, to go out to make money. You use the money I earn to exchange for things, and you will feel at ease. You won’t be afraid that your ancestors will crawl into your father’s dream at night ?"

"Brother!" Wang Xiubai hugged his younger brother, "Father, you have passed." Wang Xiubai firmly stood by his younger brother's side, and Wang Xiuyun silently leaned towards the two brothers. Although she was afraid of her father, she was not afraid of her brother.

"Okay, okay, okay, you are really my good sons and daughters!" Wang Laoliu waved his sleeves angrily.

"Have you made enough trouble? Do you want to separate your wife and children?" Mrs. Wang, who had been leaning on the bed, said in a soft voice, "You are a sinner! I will make peace with you, and others will say nothing! "

"Mother!" Tian Ding didn't expect his mother to mention Heli. Although he also thought about it, he just thought about it.

"Mother, have you thought about it carefully?" Unlike Tian Ding's reaction, Wang Xiubo looked at his mother seriously, contrary to his usual gentleness.

"Ma'am!" Upon hearing the reconciliation, Wang Laoliu was frightened and shrank immediately. "Forget it, forget it, forget it, don't care about it in the future, but madam, I'm impatient for my husband, then the university has cheated Xiu Bai!"

"You invited him, and it's too late to regret it now. If you really want to teach Xiu Bai, you and Xiu Bai will go to the city to sell buns, and let Tianding look at the place." Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes, although she still had an expressionless expression on her face. The sickness, but it feels very tough.

"This this……"

"What is this? Do you think Dangdang is ashamed to be the prime minister selling buns?"

The three children tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, and Tian Ding praised his mother in his heart. Nima is too strong, and his father, who was so strong that he could jump on the room before, is now as honest as a plague chicken.

"Go and rest!" Mrs. Wang knew that she wanted to save some face for her husband, so she didn't say any more in front of her children.The three quickly packed up the dishes and exited. After coming out, the three looked at each other, and then they all left quickly.

After that, Wang Laoliu became even more calm. He went to the fields in the morning and wrote at home in the afternoon. He didn't say a word, but sometimes he looked at his two sons with resentment.

After Wang Laoliu had a quarrel, Tian Ding finally understood where his elder brother was studying hard. He thought he learned it from his father, but he didn't expect to be cheated by the university. However, studying hard is not without advantages, at least casually. Mention a sentence, the elder brother will know the source, and can also comment, just like an encyclopedia.

In the early morning, the two brothers went out to set up a stall as usual. Neither of them mentioned what happened last night, but when there were still stalls on the road, Tianding would talk about some strategies, which were some good ideas he had heard in his previous life. , or the regulations made public by the government, Tian Ding chose the appropriate ones to explain to his eldest brother, Wang Xiubo listened carefully, he understood what his father was anxious about, and hated the university in his heart, but what can be done, even if his father teaches, he really wants to Can high school?

The person who bought the steamed stuffed bun for the first time appeared, and the two changed the topic.The first batch of steamed buns was ten drawers. Fortunately, when they arrived, the fire was turned on, and the steamer above was already steaming, and it was about the same.Picking out ten drawers of steamed stuffed buns, handing them to the other party, said that they would come back after eating, and sent away the first guest.

"The accent in Beijing." Wang Xiubo put a few more drawers, and said something by his brother's side.

"It's time for Fangzi to make a move these few days." Tian Ding smiled, thinking about what to do after the steamed stuffed bun recipe was released. Originally, he wanted to concentrate on farming and rest for a while. Tossing, or looking for an easy job.

On the other side, the servant came back with ten drawers of steamed buns, the young master was already sitting at the table, the servant put the buns on a plate, served them, and tried them one by one with silver needles before he dared to let the master eat them.The young master picked one up, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it a few times, "Sweet!"
