It seems that I am still too full [travel]

"Why are you here?" Xie Shi looked at the man approaching slowly with an umbrella in the snow, and asked with a smile.

"It's not the right weather outside, and it's windy. I feel like it's snowing or raining. I'm worried that you don't have an umbrella. Come out and have a look."

Xie Shi thought to himself, it's no wonder that I saw people not long after the snow fell, and this big guy in love can still watch the sky.

"Go back." Han Ji handed the umbrella in his hand to Han Ning who was beside Xie Shi, and motioned for Xie Shi to take it down.

Han Ning: ...Thank you, uncle, you still remember to bring an umbrella for your nephew.

It's a pity that in the next second, Han Ning heard his uncle start chasing people: "While returning home, spend more time with your mother, go."

Han Ning was speechless, and said in his heart, it seems that my nephew is preventing you from spending time alone with Mr. Xie.Knowing and knowing, Han Xiaojuan complied obediently and returned to his mother in the East Yard. However, his mother was currently obsessed with the make-up given by Mr. Xie and couldn't help herself. She had no time to take care of him. This time, all of them gathered together to watch the make-up from the eldest lady, and Young Master Han was left alone to eat melon seeds.

Han Ning: Mom, didn't you say that I was your dearest baby yesterday?Turn around and throw me away...

But on the other side of Han Ji, Xie Shi only found out when he asked about it. Han Ji was discussing matters with his staff at first, but when he saw the weather was not right, he interrupted the discussion and came out to pick him up. Xie Shi quickly persuaded him to go back and continue discussing important matters.Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian, and Han Ji is now in control of Fuzhou, which is equivalent to governing the province of Fujian in name, but in terms of occupation in a real sense, it is not just taking over Fuzhou and capturing Jianning.

Xie Shi, a person who knows nothing about politics, knows that Han Ji's affairs will definitely pile up on his desk. If nothing else, he will send troops to the rest of the states, and how to deal with the possible actions of the court?Xie Shi, a plain-headed commoner, felt so terrifying just thinking about it, only a hero like Han Ji could handle it with ease.This is also the reason why Xie Shi, as a time traveler with his own golden fingers, never thought of being a dragon Aotian, we are not the material to be the protagonist.

Before Han Ji left, he arranged Zhou Ping to accompany Xie Shi. As an old man who had served the Patriarch closely for many years, Guanshi Zhou was well known to everyone in the house. You can come and go freely in Hanfu.

"Your Majesty's pilgrimage food, is there anything that doesn't suit your taste?" Zhou Ping knew that Mr. Xie next to him had cooking skills that could be called a god cook, and he was worried that he would not be used to the food in the mansion, so the eldest lady entrusted him to ask. , so this meeting was brought up while chatting.

"Everything in the mansion is excellent. I happen to have this opportunity to experience and enjoy the top-grade delicacies of Zhongming Dingshi's House. There is nothing I don't like. I'm too worried about things." Xie Shi said this without much compliment. From his point of view, his cooking skills are better than novelty and seasoning, but in terms of delicacy, extravagance, and complexity of craftsmanship, it is completely incomparable with the chefs in the Han family's mansion.

"It's not my concern, but it's actually the lord's concern. Worried that the young master will not adapt, he wrote in advance to ask the mansion to set up a small kitchen similar to that in Tongle County in the courtyard where you live. If you want to eat anything, just give an order and let the people in the small kitchen do it. In addition, the owner’s courtyard is next to you, if you want to find him, you can just turn a corner at the gate of the courtyard.”

Xie Shi went to bed after washing up last night, and left the courtyard early today. He hadn't had time to look around the courtyard where he stayed, so he naturally didn't notice Han Ji's careful and thoughtful arrangements. , some men seem to be in control of power, and they should be cold and indifferent, but they are actually warm men who will go out to pick them up when it snows!

Zhou Ping asked again cautiously: "There is still some time before the reception banquet, do you want to go out for a stroll?"

Xie Shi shook his head, the sky was still snowing, the weather was not good, even if it was a good scene, he would not be interested, and he hadn't visited this huge Han Mansion yet, so he was not in a hurry to go out today.

"I heard that Cen Gu'an has also arrived in Fuzhou today. I wonder if he will be staying in the Han Mansion?" If so, it's a good time to meet and discuss the product development of the beauty line.

"My lord didn't invite me, Cen, to stay here, and only brother Shi has this kind of treatment." The voice came before the person arrived, and this familiar tone could have meaning besides the Cen Gu'an that Xie Shi just mentioned. who?

Xie Shi turned his head and looked at the visitor, he couldn't help laughing, he saw that it was winter and it was still snowing, this Cen Gu'an was still holding his golden fan in his hand, his posture was chic, like a romantic official , looking at it, it seems that he has changed again. He is indeed a big businessman who is rich and invincible.

When someone came to the front, Xie Shi teased, "I wonder if your fan, Gu'an, is to fan the wind or block the snow?"

Cen Yu was obviously used to this kind of joke, he didn't mind it at all, and said seriously: "To fan the wind in summer, to block the snow in winter, and to go out at home, you must have good things. Would you like to have some good things?"

Xie Shi was too thin-skinned and had no luck to bear, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.

Only then did Cen Yu let him go, "Let's go, sit in your yard and have a cup of hot wine. The weather this year is getting colder and colder, and it's very evil. I'll watch it coldly, and there may be natural disasters in the coming year."

Xie Shi also had the same premonition that abnormal weather was often a precursor to natural disasters, and even caused man-made disasters. These things often happened at the end of the dynasty, exacerbating the chaos.But it's useless to worry about these things now, and we can only adapt to the situation when the time comes.The only thing Xie Shi can do is to pray that the "Qiongzhou dwarf" rice variety that has been successfully bred before can maintain its high-yield and disease-resistant traits after the trial planting in the spring next year.But distant water cannot save near fire. Even if the trial planting is successful, it will not be easy to breed rice seeds that can spread to rice fields in the south.

Although rice is still one of the most important staple foods of Hua people until later generations, according to Xie Shi's understanding as an agricultural scientist, rice is a food species that needs to be carefully served, not only requiring a lot of fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation resources , even in terms of yield per mu, it is far lower than potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, the three major high-yielding households who came from overseas. You can see at a glance that the yield of sweet potatoes is tens of stones per mu, which is twenty times that of rice!

But unfortunately, the time traveled by Xie Shi was wrong. According to this historical process, it will take another 200 years before the three "Fanke" from far away America will be introduced into the country and gradually planted in the ancient Huaguo. That's when the population is booming.

Entering the house, the floor heater was burning, warm as spring, Xie Shi took off his cloak, did not really boil the wine, but ordered someone to burn a pot of tuan tea, and the two surrounded the burning red clay pot. Sitting by the stove, the snow is falling outside the window, which is quite elegant.

Cen Yu knew that Xie Tanwei's drinking capacity was not good enough, so he didn't dislike it. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he cut straight to the point and said, "I plan to save new things like lipstick and eyeshadow for next year's Lantern Festival when I will go to the Bazhen Pavilion to make new ones." , what do you think about Tanwei?"

When it comes to business, ten Xie Shi can't match a Cen Yu, Xie Shi naturally has no objection, but Cen Yu still explained the reason for doing this to him, "Recently, I want to focus on the preparation of the workshop after the beginning of spring. General trade." General trade, that is, the business of maritime trade.

Cen Yu suddenly asked: "Has Tan Wei ever heard of the name of the Shen family in Suzhou?"

Xie Shi shook his head, don't talk about himself, just say that the original body is just a nerd who doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads sage books. The farthest place he has been to may be Fuzhou, which he took part in the test. How would he know this Suzhou Shen?

Cen Yu smiled mysteriously, and said, "You must have heard that the previous Patriarch of the Shen family was the famous Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River."

When Xie Shi heard this, the movement of his hand was so quick that the long sleeve almost knocked over the Jianzhan teacup.Who doesn't know Shen Wansan, the God of Wealth, who doesn't know?When he saw Xie Shi when he was a child, he was surprised that there were such legends as Shen Wansan in this era!After Song Shou, the "Founding Minister of Civil Affairs", will he see the number one businessman in Yunnan who is so rich that he is finally sent to Yunnan by Zhu Chongba?

"Shen Wansan passed away two years ago, and now his eldest son, Shen Rong, is taking over the affairs of the Shen family. Now this Shen Rong has approached me on his own initiative, wanting to cooperate with us in doing business together."

Xie Shi was a little puzzled, and he asked: "But isn't the Shen family's own silk, tea, porcelain and other businesses doing well? Why do you want us to share a piece of the pie?"

"It's all thanks to Tanwei, the businessman from Shenda is now greedy for our fine things such as dew, soap, and body wash, not to mention bulky things such as icing sugar and snowflake salt. Unfortunately, these things are all over the world. Now only the Cen's House is selling it, if Shen Wansan is still there, he probably will have to come to seek cooperation."

So that's the case, when Cen Yu said this, Xie Shi understood that the Shen family wanted to add more goods to his family's ship, especially soaps, essential oils, and body wash, which were made by Xie Shi. Now only the Cen family has the secret recipe, not to mention overseas, even in China, it is a rare item, and now it is in short supply. Such novelty goods transported to Yifan will definitely command a high price for luxury goods.

"I remember that the Han family has its own sea caravan. If you want to sell the goods of Bazhen Pavilion overseas, you don't need to do anything extra, just cooperate with Shen." Xie Shi held the teacup in his hand, warmed his fingers, Said lazily.Unexpectedly, Shen Wansan has passed away now, which made Xie Shi's interest in the Shen family suddenly diminished.

But Cen Yu had his eye on the wealth of the Shen family early on, especially since the biggest business of the Shen family was actually the food business, and the importance of this food for leading troops to fight is self-evident.

Cen Yu threw a fruit into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Of course, the goods sold to the Shen family should be regarded as making a friend. This friend may be of great help at any time."

Poor Shen Da businessman, I am afraid that when he first came to seek cooperation, he did not expect that this Cen Yu had already set his sights on his family property. Kill it.Sure enough, making a fortune in silence is the right way to develop in a humble way. The Han family, which also relied on trade to amass huge wealth, is now as rich as two countries, and no one has the "good reputation" of being the richest like the Shen family.
