Seed dealers in ancient times

There are too many seeds piled up in the space. After Zheng Jiang stopped searching, there are many crops suitable for planting in October, such as potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, and peppers. They can all be planted in this season, but consider Under the current conditions, firstly, there is a lack of money, and secondly, there is a lack of land. Taking time and labor into consideration, the top priority is to plant crops that can quickly achieve economic benefits. At this time, potatoes have become the first choice.

First, the yield of potatoes is high, and it is easy to fill the stomach. Second, there are various cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, and frying.In addition, he plans to plant some tomatoes in moderation, which is good, and can be eaten as both fruit and vegetables.

After slowly starting, he will expand the scale, and then he will be able to plant other crops, such as melons, fruits and vegetables, which can be sold or eaten by his family.

Zheng Jiang stayed at Cai Lin's house overnight, and the two agreed that when he was free in two days, he would transport the seeds to the village, and the two of them would plant them together.

This matter is not difficult, anyway, the seeds are in the space, he will follow wherever he goes, and if he wants to dress up, he can hire a bullock cart in the city and transport the things over.At that time, Cai Lin thought that the seeds were brought from his family, and then told his family that he got them from a friend who was a peddler.

It was still dark the next day, and Zheng Jiangting had to rush back to the city to go to work. After autumn, the days became brighter and later, and the nights began to get darker and earlier. The short days at both ends made people extremely busy.

When he went out from Cai Lin's house, he lit a torch with dry bamboo, and illuminated the village all the way. The torch could not only illuminate the road, but also drive away the cold. It is also lit.

After entering the city, all the breakfast shops are open at this time, and the streets and alleys are full of fragrance. Steamed buns, scallion pancakes, noodles, wonton soup, and the cries of hawkers make people even more hungry.

Zheng Jiang stopped to touch his pocket, and the remaining money was less than [-] Wen. Right now, there is still a lot of effort to spend money. He has to go to the village every now and then, and when it is inappropriate, he has to ride a bullock cart. How can he afford the expense? After thinking about it , He put the money back into his pocket again, the money still has to be spent wisely, so save as much as you can now, and it won't be a big deal if you miss a meal.

He strode towards Fuyue Zhai, and as soon as he entered the alley by the back door, he saw Brother Xian standing there.

"I still think that Brother Zheng won't come to work today."

Zheng Jiangting listened to the tone of people's words, and seemed a little unhappy, he stepped forward: "I've only been here for a few days to work, how dare you not come."

Brother Xian pursed his lips, and without answering, he handed over the food box he was carrying: "Take it."

Zheng Jiangting took it in doubt, opened the lid, and there was actually a stack of dumplings inside, with a little heat bubbling up, still warm.Just about to ask where the dumplings came from, brother Xian has already gone in.

He smiled between his brows, and found a corner to eat in the back kitchen. The dumplings are very distinctive in appearance, each of them has a uniform thickness, and the filling is lotus root, which is very salty. Not to mention, anyway. The taste is enough.Zheng Jiangting smiled helplessly. Although he didn't ask where the dumplings came from, he found the answer in his heart after eating.

After eating breakfast, he found a safe place to put the food box.The steward began to arrange errands again. After Zheng Jiangting received the task, he had no time to spare the whole noon. He was making the pork tenderloin the whole time. According to Zhang Fu, his dishes were already on the menu, and the waiter in the front hall was selling them. Customers like to try something new, so more people order this dish.

At present, he is the only one in the kitchen who knows how to cook this dish, so naturally he has to be much more busy.

Zheng Jiang stopped to think, if this is the case, it would be better if no one orders, so that doing odd jobs in the back kitchen will be more leisurely.Zhang Fu said with a funny smile: "Master Zheng didn't know that he came here not long ago. The more this guest orders from you, the higher the prestige in the back kitchen will be. After getting better, the wages will increase."

Zhang Fu raised his chin secretly towards the front and gave a thumbs up: "Master Xu is the most powerful cook in our kitchen. Most of the chefs know how to cook dishes, but the guests ask Master Xu to make them by name. I heard that Master Xu can get this amount every month." wages."

Zheng Jiang stopped to look at Zhang Fu's raised two fingers, saying that it would be a lie if he was jealous, the salary was three times as much as his own.

Zhang Fu said again: "Some chefs and cooks are the same as Master Zheng. They will have their own specialty dishes. Some cooks will invite the waiter in the front hall to drink some wine and tea and give some benefits. Recommend the chef's dishes."

Zheng Jiang stopped raising his eyebrows, but he didn't know that there were still so many twists and turns. It seemed that the Fuyue Zhai water was quite deep.

"Master Zheng's dishes have just been on the menu, so you don't have to worry about them. Even if you don't go to Xiao Er, the manager will ask Xiao Er to sell your dishes honestly. After all, they are new dishes."

"You know a lot."

Zhang Fu chuckled. He ran around in the front hall and back kitchen all day long. Although he was not good at words, he still knew a little about these flamboyants. These days, the managers arranged him to work under Zheng Jiangting's hands. He looked at Zheng Jiang It's not bad to stop someone, if you can follow along for a long time, you can learn some kung fu.

If he wanted to get ahead in Fuyuezhai, if he didn't follow a cook, he might just be a small handyman running errands. For the sake of his future, he had to find a way to get close to Zheng Jiangding.

Zheng Jiang stopped to think about it, and asked again: "Then do you know that besides asking customers to order more dishes to increase wages, is there any other way to increase wages?"

Zhang Fu thought for a while, he knew that Zheng Jiangting and Xiao Ba in the front hall were not getting along, Xiao Ba was the head of the front hall, many guys listened to him, they didn't get along well with him, they just wanted to get along with other guys It's not easy to get closer, so naturally you can't use other cooks' methods.

"Indeed, there are. That is to make some new dishes for the steward to taste. If the steward passes the test, you can get a reward if the dish is on the list."

Zheng Jiangting's eyes lit up, this is a good feeling, the money comes quickly, but it is much easier than accumulating reputation, the main reason is that he will not work here for a long time.Before going to work tomorrow, he will go to the vegetable market first to see if there are any new dishes that he can cook.

In this way, I won't go to the village after work today, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the time tomorrow.

After a busy day with his feet on the ground, his legs were stiff when he got off work. He went to get the food box he brought in the morning, and was thinking about going to see if Brother Xian had gone back. Two girls came down the corridor. , The two said as they walked: "My Chunyulou play is more tactful after being pointed out by Mr. Yunrong today."

"It really makes me jealous. It would be great if I can get Mr. Yunrong's advice, if he is willing to talk about the pipa with me."

"It's strange to say, I don't know why he is willing to waste time to teach us piano skills. Usually, he left early."

"Ham, other people don't know, how can I not know, he used to avoid Master Qiu. Now he is willing to stay, maybe he is waiting for someone. I heard that there is a scholar who got along with him in the past two days."

Zheng Jiang stopped behind the two of them, listening to the people talking and leaving the door, and heard the people walking away.

"It looks good?"

"Huh?" He turned around suddenly, almost colliding with the head that was coming up, and in the blink of an eye, he could clearly see the thick eyelashes and light-colored pupils of the person in front of him.

Zheng Jiang's breathing seemed to be cut off for a moment.

Brother Xian retreated slowly, and the veil on his nose swayed slightly, like a feather, sweeping across his heart.

Zheng Jiangting was restless, he couldn't open his mouth but his mind said, "The girl from Fuyuezhai must be pretty." Otherwise, according to Liao Jianzhang's poisonous mouth, how would he get in.

After a while, brother Xian turned around and walked to the front.

Zheng Jiang stopped scratching his head, how could he turn his head and leave so much now: "Wait for me."

He chased after him, took the initiative to hug Ren's Qin, and Brother Xian said: "There is no food at home, I have to go to the vegetable market to buy some."

"Has the hawker confiscated the stall at this time?"

"The hawkers from the nearby villages must have closed their stalls, but they closed one after another when they opened their shops."

Zheng Jiang stopped laughing: "You still understand."

Chu Xian didn't say anything. Although he didn't cook much, he did the grocery shopping a lot.

The two went to Wangmin Street together, and it was true as he said, most of the stalls were closed, the street was much wider, but the shops on both sides were still open.

Zheng Jiangting went into the vegetable shop first, and there were seasonal fruits and vegetables, but they were not as fresh as the ones brought in by the hawkers in the morning, but the vegetable prices would be slightly lower at this time.

He hadn't picked any vegetables yet, but he was first attracted by a pile of brown and round things piled in the corner.Picking up one and shaking it, he said pleasantly, "Isn't this a coconut?"

The shop owner asked suspiciously: "Coconut? This is Xu Xie. A few days ago, a bunch of peddlers from other counties bought it. Would you like to buy some?"

Brother Xian was picking radishes, and Wen Sheng followed him. He tilted his head and asked, "Do you want to buy it? Brother Zheng, have you ever eaten Xu Xie?"

"I have eaten it, I have eaten it when I was selling goods, but I haven't seen it for a long time."

Chu Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother Zheng has been to Nan County to sell goods before?"

"how you said that?"

"Back then, Fuyuezhai had a younger brother who came from Nan County. He said that the weather in Nan County is much warmer than that in Jincheng, and the melons and fruits grow very well, and there are Xu Xie in all seasons."

Zheng Jiang paused: "I haven't been there, I got it in other counties."

The two talked for a while, but they didn't buy the last one. The shop owner was very happy for a while, but fortunately, he bought a few catties of radishes and left.

When we returned to Qingwu Lane, it was already dark.

Zheng Jiang stopped thinking that brother Xian was the one who paid for the grocery shopping today, and couldn't help but mutter: "Don't pay for it yourself in the future, it won't be easy for you as a little brother to earn some money."

"If I'm not even allowed to pay for the food, how can I still have the face to eat?"

Zheng Jiang sighed, the truth is true, and it is also true that he is in trouble now, he just waits for the days to get better in the future, and doubles the compensation to Brother Xian.

He picked up the radish and said with a smile: "When Brother Zheng earns money, I'll make stewed pork ribs with radishes for you."

Chu Xian chuckled, feeling happy.

"What's the matter, you still don't believe that I can make money?"

"I don't think so, but I'm already hungry for stewed pork ribs with radishes."
