Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

In order not to make people suspicious, Zhang Hetian got up before dawn. She pulled out the black cow and connected it to the cart, and put the pasture for the black cow on the cart.Then put a few bamboo baskets containing eggplants. The bamboo baskets are paved with straw to prevent the bumps on the road from damaging the eggplants. Then they are covered with cloth so that people can't see what is inside.

At this time, the moon and stars were sparse, and the silver-white moonlight shone on the ground, illuminating a path for Zhang He.Zhang He was holding a lantern in his hand, but it was useless. The range of light from the lantern was less than two meters. If the ox cart rolled too fast and rolled into the ditch, it would be too late to stop it.

Fortunately, the black ox was strong and galloped steadily on the road under the moonlight. Its speed was much faster than when Chief Zhang Bao took them to Fuzhou City. I believe that he would be able to reach Fuzhou City when the city gate opened.

Although Zhang He planned to ask Li Qinggui for help, she didn't just have this preparation, she thought that even if she made a few more trips in the future, it wouldn't matter, as long as she sold the eggplant, it would be enough to solve the predicament she was about to face.

Zhang He knows that it is very difficult for one person to take care of a hundred acres of farmland even with the help of machinery in modern times. In order to make up for the lack of productivity, she can only hire people to help. field.But if she hadn't been in a desperate situation, she would not have done such desperate things as selling the land.

"It's a pity that this system is like a dead thing, and it can't interfere with everything outside." Zhang He thought a little regretfully in her mind, and then she cursed herself, "People's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, and it has already made me in the first place. How can you be so greedy and extravagant to ask for more now that you have a life when you are facing desperation for the first time? Only relying on yourself to make life better is the right way!"

Hei Niu made a "moo" coincidentally, and Zhang He said with a smile: "Could Xiao Hei understand what I'm talking about, and you agree with me!"

Naturally, Hei Niu would not answer her again, but under Zhang He's urging, he picked up his speed again.Zhang He was shaken by the road, so she simply lay down on the haystack, holding the rein in her hand and staring at the night sky.

"After thousands of years, what will happen to future generations? Will there be parents and them? Where am I?" Looking at the vast starry sky, Zhang He couldn't help thinking about it.

The sky is gradually brightening, the light of the stars and the moon is fading little by little, the whole sky is changing color, and Fuzhou City is coming.

Like Zhang He, there were many people who traveled under the full moonlight, while people from villages farther away than Qinghe Village started their journey at night, just to come to Fuzhou City earlier to finish their errands and return earlier.

Without the curfew system of the Tang Dynasty, the city was already bustling after the city gates were opened, and the shops and small vendors in the city had already started selling breakfast.Many farmers who carried fruits and vegetables also came to the city to occupy a good position, and the fishermen who fished along the river began to sell the fish they caught along the river. Some people put their stalls outside the city gate, and there were many residents People in the city go out to buy vegetables.

The restaurants have already opened their doors early to welcome customers. They mainly sell breakfast, although it is breakfast, it is also very rich.After eating a bowl of noodles with toppings, Zhang He was already [-]% full. Seeing Li Qinggui's busy figure, she did not go to him for a long time.

After two quarters of an hour, Li Qinggui was able to rest, he came to Zhang He and said, "I was really too busy just now, I didn't have time to take care of Erlang, please forgive me."

Zhang He said with a smile, "I'm an idler and dare not delay Brother Qinggui."

Li Qinggui hurriedly said: "Erlang claims to be an idler, so probably more than half of the people in Linchuan City are idlers."

Zhang He smiled, and then he said something important, so that Li Qinggui would not have to rush off again later.When she was bored just now, she had already seen the menu of Zhangjiayuanzi's main store. Naturally, there were dishes made of eggplant, and there were several dishes, the most expensive of which was stir-fried.

Due to the lack of oil, the food production at this time is mainly stewed, boiled, steamed, etc., and the edible oils are animal oil and vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is expensive and rare, but animal oil is easy to burn, which damages the taste and color of the dishes, so it is rare. Fried.However, there are fried eggplants on it, so it must be made of high-quality oil, so the price is naturally expensive.

Sure enough, Li Qinggui said: "These are the restaurant's signature dishes." Generally, when they see people with obvious backgrounds such as clothing and attire, they will take the initiative to offer signature dishes so as not to let them underestimate the restaurant's specifications.

Zhang He cleared his throat, a little shy: "How do you get all your purple melons?"

Li Qinggui said: "Why did Erlang inquire? It's just purple melons. It's not a big secret. The purple melons in our restaurant are all bought in the suburbs of the city." Except for the secret recipe of the town store that must not be told to outsiders, some restaurants' purchases The channel is not a secret, and Li Qinggui can naturally know about it.

Then Zhang He said: "Uh, in fact, all the purple melons I planted have already produced fruit, but I couldn't think of a good way to deal with them for a while, so I came here to seek help from Brother Qinggui."

Li Qinggui was slightly surprised, after all, what is Zhang He's identity, she would come to sell eggplants in person!However, Zhang He took good care of their family, so naturally he would not refuse to help.He first saw the eggplant brought by Zhang He, and he was very surprised: "Is this brought from Qinghe Village?"

"nature."

"Why is it as fresh as the one just picked?!"

Zhang He smiled: "If it wasn't fresh, I wouldn't dare to ask brother Qinggui for help."

Li Qinggui said happily: "Wait a moment!"

He ran to the kitchen to find the chef of Zhangjiayuanzi's main store. Many people knew that the chef of this restaurant was a woman, that is, a cook.

This cook is not an ordinary woman. As one of the hundreds of professions, cooking has also opened up another way.And the reputation of those with outstanding culinary skills can be heard all over the world. If rich and powerful families want to invite these people to prepare a feast of food and drinks, they will have to spend tens or even hundreds of dollars.The Zhangjiayuanzi main store is a restaurant built on the culinary skills of Mrs. Zhang Chun of the Zhang family. Zhang Chun is the signature of the Zhangyuanzi main store.

Li Qinggui has been making a living here for so long, so it is natural that he has to deal with Zhang Chun, and he has a delicate mind and a smooth tongue, and has learned a set of flattering words, Zhang Chun naturally does not hate him.Seeing him coming here, he asked him what was the matter.

Naturally, Li Qinggui said something good first, coaxing Zhang Chunle into a smile, and then said: "A purple melon seller came outside, saying that his purple melon is the number one purple melon in Fuzhou."

Zhang Chundao: "Oh, who is so proud? Could it be Huang Po selling melons and boasting?"

Li Qinggui looked hesitant, Zhang Chun asked suspiciously: "Have you seen that melon before, is it really so good?"

Li Qinggui said with a smile: "I'm not proficient in cooking, so naturally I dare not say that melons are good. Whether the melons are good or not, it's up to Mrs. Zhang and other superb cooks to decide."

Zhang Chun said with a smile: "Then I'll go and see if it's okay, is he Huang Po!"

Li Qinggui took Zhang Chun out, and when Zhang Chun saw Zhang He, he looked her up and down, and thought she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember any melon farmers he had seen.She said: "I heard that you boast that your purple melon is the best in Fuzhou?"

Zhang He glanced at Li Qinggui, thinking to himself that Li Qinggui must have said something.Although she felt that it was too embarrassing to boast that Fuzhou was number one, she did not deny it, so as not to expose Li Qinggui.She said: "Ms. Zhang will know it after reading it."

Zhang Chun didn't take it seriously, she lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, and the light in her eyes flashed when she saw the eggplant lying inside.Just by looking at the color of this eggplant, you can tell that it is fresh as if it is still hanging on the vine, and it is almost black and purple, which is more attractive than light purple.There is a white circle around the eggplant eyes, indicating that it is the tenderest and freshest when it is picked.

She picked up an eggplant and touched it, but found no signs of being bitten by insects.She didn't believe it, so she grabbed a few more eggplants that were placed at the bottom, and found that these eggplants grew very well, and Zhang He didn't arrange them according to their age and tenderness.

Zhang He thought in his heart, she put away the bug-bitten ones for herself to eat, and these intact ones were put in the system warehouse by her, and only released when Li Qinggui wanted to see them, so it was naturally the same as when she picked them off .

"How many purple melons have you seen before you dare to call yourself the number one in Fuzhou?" Zhang Chun liked it in his heart, but his face still looked disgusted.

"I don't say that, I'm afraid it won't catch the eyes of Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang may not be willing to come out to take a look. But I don't think my melon can't be called the number one in Fuzhou." Zhang He laughed.

Zhang Chun knew that she was boasting himself in disguise, so he didn't talk nonsense to her, and said, "A basket of thirty coins, I want all six baskets."

Zhang He has been here for a year and has already learned about the prices here. Now that it is a peaceful era, a penny is equivalent to one yuan and five, and she has about forty eggplants in a basket, which adds up to more than 30 catties.With today's prices, thirty cash per basket is normal.

Zhang He smiled slightly: "Sixty coins a basket."

Zhang Chun squinted his eyes: "Is the pumpkin you sold worth it?"

"I'm from Qinghe Village."

"So what?" Zhang Chun said.

"Qinghe Village is more than [-] miles away from here, and it takes me some time to pick melons and fruits, but my melons and fruits are as fresh and tender as they were just picked. Madam Zhang might as well compare them with the purple melons sent from the suburbs." .”

Zhang Chun stared at her intently for a while, thinking that the people who went to buy fresh ingredients should come back, so he asked Li Qinggui to go in and get two eggplants for comparison.The eggplants that Li Qinggui took out were about one foot long, not to mention the bumps and indentations left by birds and insects on them. Some eggplants were picked late and the flesh was already old.

In this comparison, it is clear at a glance whose eggplant is better.Zhang Chun felt depressed, and scolded the person who bought the ingredients: "Why did you pick such an old melon? If people are not satisfied with this, wouldn't it be a blow to my brand?!"

Li Qinggui hurriedly helped the man to speak: "Ma'am, where does the purple melon sold in this city not look like this, it used to be like this, and no customer said anything about it?"

Zhang Chun squinted at Zhang He: "If you can provide me with three baskets a day in the future, I will make a deal with you at the price of forty Wen per basket."

"Sixty Wen."

"45 words!"

"55 papers." Zhang He took a step back.

"Fifty!"

Zhang He was still waiting for the price increase, Li Qinggui hurriedly said: "Zhang Erlang, as the saying goes, if you buy more, you will get more free. We buy you so much, why do you have the nerve to ask for such a high price?"

Zhang He rolled his eyes and said, "How about this, I will give you nine baskets at a time, and I will come every three days. After all, I live far away, and it is too troublesome to go back and forth, and I will deliver it myself to save money." I spent your time, so how about I sell you 45 papers?"

Unlike Zhang He's daily delivery, the eggplants can still be fresh within three days. After three days, although they can still be eaten, they are much older and not worth the price.Zhang Chun still wanted to press down, but considering that it was not easy for Zhang He to deliver it every day, he agreed.

"You have nine baskets?"

"To be honest, I brought nine baskets with me this time, and some are stored in the foot store."

"Okay, you bring it here. Let the shopkeeper settle the bill for you." Zhang Chun went back to the back kitchen after speaking.

Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not forget to thank Li Qinggui.Li Qinggui smiled and said: "Thank you, it's because your melons are good!"

After Zhang He waited for them to replace the six baskets of eggplants, he pretended to go to the foot shop, and then filled three more baskets in a deserted place and sent them to the main store of Zhangjiayuanzi.After the shopkeeper settled the payment for her, she took the heavy money and wanted to see if it could be stored in the system warehouse. After all, the money was a foreign item, and according to the usage rules of the system warehouse, foreign items could not be put in.The reason why the eggplant can be put in is because its seeds come from the system warehouse, which is a system thing.

After trying it, Zhang He found that his hand was empty, and there was an extra [-] cash in the system.As if he had discovered something surprising, Zhang He suddenly opened his eyes wide: "How is this possible!"

Isn't this money a foreign thing?Zhang He still hasn't recovered.She groped around to find something to try again, and she caught a bamboo basket. She wanted to try it while there was no one around, but found that it didn't work.

"Could it be that in addition to the fruits grown from the seeds of the system can be put in, the money obtained from these fruits can also be put in, and nothing else can be done?!" Zhang He pondered secretly.

She really couldn't figure it out, so she could only convince herself like this.After all, how did this system warehouse appear in the first place, she couldn't figure it out at all. So far, it can't play any role except to germinate seeds, grow seedlings and store fruits.

While she still had time, she wandered around the restaurants in Fuzhou City for a while, successfully sold more than a dozen baskets of eggplants, and then bought some dry food to eat on the road before driving back in an ox cart.Because of the special nature of the system, she also had to compromise, and came every three days. Fortunately, she was more and more able to bear the bumps of the road, and after she sold these eggplants, she would no longer be so stupid. Planted so many eggplants!

The author has something to say: donkey brother calculated, the income of 24 mu of land (equal to the current 27 mu) is [-] yuan, which is not bad.

Digression: The instant noodles have never been planted. The information on all crops comes from Baidu, so some places may not match the reality.
