clang farming notes

As the date of the mutual market approached, there were more and more caravans in the camp.Although everyone is dissatisfied with having to be stationed outside the city, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, a strong dragon does not overwhelm local snakes. What's more, merchants are not considered strong dragons compared to soldiers. .On the contrary, they have a very good attitude towards the soldiers around them, and maybe they will ask for help at any time.

The shed in the center of the camp is getting more and more lively. Every morning, the little boss brings his fellows to drive over with the items ordered by the various caravans the day before, and distributes and settles them one by one on the spot. After finishing, I will set up the pot and make some hot soup for food and so on.Now everyone in the camp has nowhere to go, so they are all willing to sit in the shed, and sit and chat with those they know or not, so as to pass the time.

To say that this little boss is a very real person, someone once went to the city to inquire, and the price of the same things in the city is the same as those bought from the little boss. The ones in hand are even better, and the portions are also sufficient, and they are delivered directly to the camp, so no one is picky, and they all buy from the little boss.

As the days went by, people who met each other every day became familiar, and everyone in the camp knew that the little boss was named Du, and the boys under him were all nephews and nephews in their village, and they all called him uncle.This little boss not only has a good heart, but also has good cooking skills.In his shed, there are three or four stoves, one for boiling water, for making tea. There are two kinds of tea in his place, one is just ordinary jasmine tea, which is brewed well, but it is cheap. To drink, most of them are liked by buddies and dart runners; the other is the chrysanthemum tea made by himself. The best wild chrysanthemum is dried and added with some licorice. Yes, although it is a bit more expensive, many people like it. The rough tea is not palatable, so it’s not bad to drink something with a special flavor.There is also a stove that burns boiling water, but this boiling water is used for cooking noodles, dumplings, and wontons, and the one on the other side is specially used for making broth.That's right, Boss Du brings some ready-made food with him every day. Anyone who wants to eat can just order a bowl, which is very convenient.

Those who go out to do business, even if they have good skills, will not bring all the cooking stuff with them. Since they are not in the city, they can only go here if they want to eat something good. Therefore, the business of selling food is very difficult. It's good, the soup is good and full of ingredients, and it can also improve the food.The only downside is that there are no freshly fried dishes here, but some stewed vegetables, such as pork head and elbow, as long as everything is weighed.

Those little fellows are also very clever, and they can speak with their mouths. They greet people who are far away.That's not to mention, the tallest can write and count, and when they pay the bills every day, a small mouth pops out, and they don't even need an abacus, which is really rare.

On this day, Jiang Maolin went to sit in the shed together with several cashiers in his family, ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea, talked and laughed, and the time passed quickly. He looked up at the sky, and it was noon, so Jiang Maolin called: "Man, order three catties of mutton dumplings first."

Unexpectedly, the guy who usually responded to a call didn't make a fuss. Jiang Maolin and the others were very surprised. They turned around and saw the guy sitting on a chair behind the stove, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and muttering something. Mumbling something, very engrossed.This Jiang Maolin got a rare curiosity, got up gently and walked over, to see what made this clever little guy lose his business. Going to tease other people's children, alas, these few days are really boring, even the always prudent young master can't help but play.

Da Zhu was shaking his head and was concentrating on reciting, when he suddenly grabbed the homework in his hand with one hand, he was taken aback.Looking closely at the regular customers in the store, he knew that he must have come over in person because he was told that he hadn't heard just now. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Boss Jiang, what do you want? You just neglected!"

Then Jiang Maolin looked at the paper in his hand, it was clearly the contents of the Four Books, why, this guy is still reading?How can you come out to do this when you are studying?

Hearing Jiang Maolin's question, Da Zhuhan smiled and patted his head: "I'm studying with my husband. Because I missed my homework these days, I copied it out and took the time to memorize it. When I get home, my husband will check it."

Now not only Jiang Maolin, but also those at the other end became curious.Jiang Maolin asked: "Do you know that since you are serious about studying, you can't do this kind of business business? It's okay if you don't go to school now, but when you go to school, you will inevitably be criticized. Why is your husband willing to let you out to do such a thing?" What about you?" This is the truth, for those who have studied and then do business, the reputation will not be very good, even if they go to the school officials, they will not have a good impression.Therefore, self-employed scholars would rather live in poverty than do some business to support their families. What's more, many of them rely on their parents and wives to support them, and only know how to study hard.

Dazhu said seriously: "I'm not doing business, I'm obviously doing good deeds!"

Jiang Maolin was surprised, seeing such an honest child would argue?Can't help asking: "Then tell me, why are you doing a good deed? Is it possible that you don't charge for this tea and these dumplings? This feeling is good."

Dazhu replied steadily: "Of course you need to charge money for these things. But it's also a good deed."

The first few people booed and said: "If you can tell the truth, we will give you some good pens and inks. If you can't tell the truth, we will have this meal today, but we won't give you money!"

Dazhu smiled and cupped his hands at them: "It's a deal!" He said: "First, the rice, noodles, vegetables, firewood and other things we bring every day are all from our own fields and have not been resold. Is it a business business?" Everyone nodded, and this farming family's selling things from their own fields is indeed not considered a business.

"Then how do you count your food? You know, if you set up a snack stand and a tea stand, it's considered a business." Someone asked again.

"The food is not our own." Dazhu said: "These are made by the aunts and aunts in the village, but we are just doing them a favor. These aunts and aunts just want to exchange some money with their handicrafts. Subsidize some household expenses, but one is inconvenient for me to show my face, and the other is that it is not good to settle accounts. We have received so much care from the village, how can we not help with such a small matter? After all, we did not leave a penny from it, so it is still worth it. We built a lot of firewood."

Everyone laughed: "You look like an honest boy, how can you think so well? Forget it, you are doing a good deed, hurry up and cook some dumplings for us!" Another person said: "Your husband is also good-tempered. Now that you come out with the adults, aren't you afraid of delaying your homework?"

Dazhu smiled and rolled his eyes: "Sir, you can't just blindly study. What do we study for? The first thing is to understand the truth and be able to do things. The so-called insight into the world is knowledge, and it is only after a lot of experience that we can understand the truth. Some people say that when we do this, we go out to practice and practice, and we can earn some money for books and ink, so as to save our parents from working hard; How can you go to the market without such trivial matters like ours? So, even if I miss some homework, the husband will not blame me, besides, I just recite it when I have time. "

Everyone laughed more and more: "You are also an interesting person, Mr. Taoism taught you to be like this!"

Da Zhu turned around to order the dumplings, but didn't answer.Mr. said, if someone asks about this matter, just talk about it in a righteous way. Anyway, I am only a half-grown child, and no one will take it seriously. Once the items are settled, it will be done.Uncle An is the one who does business and business affairs. Those of us who are studying, Mr. said, we will go to the scientific examination in the future, we must not leave a bad reputation. When we really fail the examination, we will do other things. It doesn't matter.Mr. originally said a long article about Zheye, but I didn’t remember it myself. Isn’t that what it means anyway?The purpose of my village is not to make profits, but to contribute to the mutual market, to cooperate with the imperial court and to solve the worries of those who participate in the mutual market.

Da Zhu curled his lips secretly, Mr. is really cunning, he never discloses how much money he makes, even though he has made so much money, he still says it's not for money or something.How do you say that?By the way, it's called making a fortune in silence.But Uncle An and the others are really interesting. After finding out that they have made money, every household that tries to find a way to pull in a little bit, does not make a fortune alone.The rice noodle fodder is sold on behalf of each family, and the dumplings, wonton noodles and so on are also made by the aunts and aunts of the various families. If you really have money, you can earn it together!It's much better than that Ding Sangou.Bah, how can you compare Ding Sangou with Uncle An and the others, they are not from the same way at all!

In recent days, Du Zhongping's requirements for children have become more and more strict. The original characters only need to be readable when they are written, but now there is no need for "strength of character";Zhao Ba and the others also had doubts, what are the children in the country doing learning these things?Du Zhongping said, since he is going to take the imperial examination, no matter whether there is any goods in his stomach, he must have a good appearance. In the first pass, there may be an interview.

Having said that, in fact, Du Zhongping himself knows that he is indeed a bit of a distracted person these days.Duan started his own business, although he did make money, but this person is also away from home all day, leaving early and returning late. If this momentum continues, he might not go home when he is in a hurry!When this person returned home, he could eat a bowl of rice in peace, and then he was busy with this and that, and couldn't care less about looking at himself and Jin'er any more.Du Zhongping knew that Du An was busy with serious business, didn't he already want to support him?But as this day passed, I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart, but how could I say this?I can't tell anyone, the anger just came up.

Du Zhongping is tangled and awkward here, but Duan is getting more and more busy, helping the village's needles and threads, selling things at a good price, helping those merchants to go about their business, preparing dry food and fodder, and now he only cares about those bulky goods. Buying and selling, those who eat and so on, can only be completely thrown to the children.Although Duan is busy, he is getting more and more happy in his heart. Only by doing something on his own can he talk to Brother Ping about life. Seeing that the situation ahead is getting better and better, hope is right in front of him!The more Duan thought about it, the more beautiful he became, but he didn't notice that his brother Ping's face was getting longer and longer and darker.
