Seed dealers in ancient times

"Oh, Master Xiao Zheng, you said that you and our master are close friends, how can I collect your money. The master has gone out again these few days. Can you wait for the master to come back for a few days before talking about the restaurant? .”

Zheng Jiang paused and said, "Even close friends have to follow the rules, as much as you want."

The steward couldn't stop Zheng Jiang from stopping, so he finally accepted the money.

Early this morning, Zheng Jiang stopped looking for the housekeeper of the Hu family. He was going to give money to Qingfeng Building. After taking down Qingfeng Building, all the shops in the family would be his own, and he would no longer have to pay rent. It feels like working for others until finally being the boss.

In mid-June, some of the vegetables planted in Yangmu Village in spring had matured. Zheng Jiang stopped to deal with the matter of Qingfeng Building and took a few servants with him to the village to pick vegetables, so as to help Qingfeng Building New dishes are in stock.

When the broccoli matures, they form clusters of flowers and squat in the ground to form a green leaf. When you look at it from a distance, you think it’s just a bunch of green vegetables, but when you get closer, you can see something different.

Chu Xian wore a straw hat and went to pick broccoli with her servants.

"Just cut off the flowers with a knife, and save the leaves for the villagers to make fodder for pigs."

It was also the first time for the domestic servant to pick these fresh things, and he jumped into the ground with great interest, cutting one by one, fast and crisp.

Not only the broccoli, but also the carrots in the field were ripe. Zheng Jiang stopped to pull up a few, and the muddy carrots were long and plump, and the color was beautiful.

Chu Xian wanted to pick every kind of vegetable and see it in person, but it was hot in summer, and after a while in the field, he was sweating, dizzy and couldn't stand upright, but he had to go to the carriage in the time of a stick of incense Sitting and resting.

The group harvested several large baskets of vegetables and transported them back to Qingfeng Building.

A few days ago, Zheng Jiangting had already prepared the spices for the dry pot. This time, he only needed to teach the people in the restaurant how to handle the newly produced vegetables.

The broccoli is cut into pieces according to the growth of the spikes, the lotus root is cut into slices, the carrots are cut into pieces with a hob, and red peppers are prepared outside.

Stir-fry the prepared spices until fragrant, add two tablespoons of homemade bean paste to fill the color and taste, add shrimp or chicken and duck to stir-fry, and after half-cooked, put them into the pot and stir-fry according to the familiarity of the side dishes. A pot of fragrant dry pot is fine up.

For the chefs in the restaurant, it couldn't be easier. After all, they have worked in Qingfeng Restaurant for a long time, and they already have an understanding of the dishes and recipes, and they can get started very quickly.

"This onion is smoky, so be careful when cutting vegetables. You can cut it into pieces and put some in a dry pot as a side dish. Isn't there a new Teppanyaki for supper at night? When grilling squid, cut some onions into it, go The fishy taste is better."

The cook took down Zheng Jiangting's explanation one by one, and devoted himself to making new dishes.

After the dry pot was installed in the Qingfeng Building, the business has returned to its peak, and there are more than one happy events. This month, the seasoning shop of the Zheng family has welcomed Yongan merchants one after another. One of them was invited by Zheng Jiangting to join. The night market merchants who refused, although they still did not join in this trip, they discussed the purchase method and signed a long-term purchase contract.

It must be the goods from the last time I went. The merchants have run out of stockpiled goods. Seeing that there is money to be made, they have traveled thousands of miles to negotiate business and secure the goods.

Not only Yong'an, but even the county town next to Yong'an somehow got wind of it and came to get the goods. Yong'an came a long way, and the merchants who came here were not just to get the goods once, but asked for long-term supply. It doubled directly before.

Fortunately, Zheng Jiang increased the manpower of Doubanfang after returning to the city, otherwise the supply would be insufficient.

The merchants in Jincheng got wind of it, and Zheng Jiang stopped being famous for a while, and those who handed out greeting cards and gifts almost broke the threshold of Zheng's family.

At this time, in the Han family mansion...

The Han family father and son were frowning in the study.

"Father, all the merchants in the city are trying to curry favor with the Zheng family, so why don't we send a greeting card?"

Han Qiong was very annoyed. At first, the enemy family urged him to go together to put pressure on the Zheng family to let Zheng Jiang stop selling them the secret recipe, but the boy was very stubborn and unmoved.That day when Zheng Jiang stopped inviting them to join, he scoffed at that moment, but now it's a good day, and he can't go even if he sharpened his head.

"Your Uncle Chou is also the same. He said that he wanted to take over the Zheng family. There is only thunder but no rain. Now that the foundation of the Zheng family has been stabilized, I see how to do it."

"Father, Uncle Chou is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, so he doesn't have the heart to take care of the Zheng family's affairs."

Han Qiong sighed, the Chou family has a long history with the government, they have been under the protection of the county magistrate all these years, and both parties have benefited.A month ago, there was a sudden announcement that the magistrate was going to be transferred far away, and now that he was going to leave at a young age, the two sides naturally wanted to argue.

"Speaking of which, our family and the Zheng family don't have any enmity. Isn't it just that a deal didn't go through and there was some discord? It's a common thing in business. Besides, when my sister got married, why did the Zheng family come to have a wedding? Now Let's take advantage of the momentum and just do what we like, and send some good gifts to the door to repair and repair the relationship."

Han Qiong thought about it, his son's proposal was good, and the Zheng family was in the limelight, and the loss outweighed the gains.

"Then deliver a greeting card, and send some ingenious gifts?"

"Father, brother." There was a knock on the door of the study, and Han Qiong's voice froze: "Come in."

Li Kesheng walked in with two cups of tea respectfully: "Father and elder brother are tired of talking, let's have a sip of tea."

Although Han Qiong picked up the tea, his expression was a little displeased: "The next thing is to let the servants do it. It is a joke for a big man to spend his time on this."

It was thankless, Li Kesheng was not very happy, but he still said kindly: "Serving father and elder brother is what a son-in-law should do."

"Father, my son-in-law just now heard that father and elder brother seem to be worried about what gift to give to the Zheng family."

"Why, I can still listen to the wall."

"No, no, my son-in-law just happened to hear it at the door." Li Kesheng said: "My son-in-law and Zheng Jiangting had a written relationship, although I don't know exactly what Zheng Jiangting likes, but I know something about him. I hope it can relieve my father's worries."

Han Qiong's face softened a lot: "Oh? Then tell me."

"Brother-in-law, sit down."

"Thank you, brother." Li Kesheng got a seat in the study for the first time: "Zheng Jiangting was originally from Qingwu Lane, and later he made a fortune by selling goods. Although he has a big family business, he only has one back room. Dad I also met my elder brother, he is a younger brother. As far as my son-in-law knows, this younger brother was once an entertainer of Fuyuezhai. Although he is beautiful and moving, he is not in good health. , there is only one old lady in the Zheng family, so I must be very anxious about this matter."

Han Qiong and his son didn't comment, they just took a deep look at Li Kesheng.

Li Kesheng nodded his head, not knowing what Han Qiong would think, he lost his mind for a while.

After a while, Han Qiong put down his teacup: "According to what you mean, this Zheng Jiang never likes beautiful artists?"

"My son-in-law doesn't dare to speak nonsense, but just tells everything he knows."

Han Qiong waved his hand: "Go out."

"Yes."

Li Kesheng walked to the door respectfully, Leng Cencen said silently: No one can live comfortably.

"Father, I see that Zheng Jiangting's age is not much different from mine. I have four bedrooms, and he only has a sick little brother. They are both young and energetic. How about a bedroom?" Enough, it’s not appropriate for us to introduce you ladies to him, since he likes entertainers, why don’t we find two beautiful entertainers to serve?”

Han Qiong said: "That's the only way to go, you go and make arrangements. I'll talk to you, Uncle Hu. He has close contacts with the Zheng family at the moment. Let him deliver a message for us."

Zheng Jiang stopped to invite a few franchisees to eat together in the restaurant.

There are three new merchants who have joined the seasoning shop in Jincheng. With the addition of Hu Jinxin, there are now four franchised stores in Jincheng.In fact, there are quite a few people who want to join at present, but Zheng Jiangting is not as casual as recruiting franchisees at the beginning, and has also begun to comprehensively select the best ones. After all, a city cannot have the same shops everywhere.

"Come on, everyone, try this new dry pot. The rabbit meat is sent from the village. It's tender and chewy."

"I tried it a few days ago, and it tastes great."

A few people push the cups and change the cups.

"I plan to add the ingredients for the dry pot to the shop. If you like it, you can bring some of the ingredients to your shop to sell."

"If this is the case, it would be great, and it will definitely sell well. I just don't know when I can get the goods?"

"It's coming soon. It's already being prepared. When the time comes, the first batch of goods will be sold in Zheng's shop. If the results are good, everyone will come to pick up the goods."

The merchant respected Zheng Jiang and stopped for a drink: "Boss Zheng is always so thoughtful."

"Come on, let's have a drink together."

Hu Jinxin took a sip of his wine. He made a lot of money this time. The Hu family’s house business already has small shops in many counties. Taking advantage of this convenience, the goods can be easily sent to other counties for sale. The current prosperity: "Yes Yes, the previous Han Qiong met me and asked me to send you a message to see if you can meet him."

Hearing this, Zheng Jiang stopped laughing: "This is not like Master Han's tone, how high-spirited he was when he went to Zheng's house, and he and Master Qiu wanted to buy my secret recipe together."

Several people laughed together.

Back at the house, Zheng Jiangting really received a greeting card from the Han family.

He leaned back on the soft chair. To be honest, he didn't want to see him, but he stretched out his hand not to slap the smiling face. After such a blatant refusal, it was embarrassing not to look up and look down.

"Zheng Huan, answer this invitation."

The next day, the father and son of the Han family came.

The two parties were flattering again. Zheng Jiangting originally thought that the man wanted to come to discuss business, but he unexpectedly did not mention business matters, and the talk was quite pleasant.

"Master, tea."

"Give it to Mr. Han and Mr. Han." Zheng Jiang paused and said, "This is Yong'an's dewy hair tip. I heard that he is still famous. I'm a rough person who doesn't know how to tea. I hope you two don't mind it."

"Master Xiao Zheng is being polite when he says this. This kind of good tea has a price but no market. I have sent people to buy it several times but I have never bought it."

Zheng Jiang stopped raising his eyebrows: "Really, this is a gift from the merchant who came to order from Yong'an a few days ago. Master Han likes me and asked my servant to bring you some."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Han Qiong poked a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and said: "I heard that there are two new artists in Qingxiang Tower, and they sing well. I love to listen, and I didn’t bring any gifts this morning, and it happens that there are two younger brothers who can play and sing, if they can serve you, Master Xiao Zheng can feel more comfortable when he’s busy with business.”

The little girl who served the tea, Shui Ling's eyes moved, and she bowed to several people, and hurriedly backed out.
