Interstellar female dressed as country dude

Not long after Bai Shu sat down, a waiter from the shop came over with the menu to show Bai Shu.

Bai Shu looked at the menu here.A bowl of Yangchun noodles costs three coins, and roasted tofu and stir-fried vegetables cost ten coins each.As for big dishes such as braised fish, braised pork, and stewed beef, each dish is more than ten yuan more expensive than in the county.

There are also many dishes of Baizhu that have never been seen on the menu in the county, such as chrysanthemum fish and imperial concubine chicken... It costs a few taels of silver.

Bai Shu was dumbfounded when he saw this menu, and he also deeply realized how poor he is now.

He ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, the cheapest, and a plate of roasted tofu. After one lunch, he lost thirteen pennies.

When Bai Shu's side was ordering, the aristocrats sitting at the other table had already ordered.They don't need to worry about ordering, they just choose the most expensive dish.

One of the tall young men in Tsing Yi asked: "Xiao Er, I've never heard of your chrysanthemum fish and imperial concubine chicken, but what's the point?"

The Xiao Er respectfully introduced the method of the chrysanthemum fish. First cut the thornless fish maw into strips without breaking the root. Eat sweet and sour sauce, each serving costs three taels of silver.

As for the imperial concubine chicken, marinated chicken breast meat with plum wine, add mushrooms, green onion and ginger and other ingredients, wrap it in a thin dough, and then steam it in a pot until golden. One serving costs five taels of silver.

Bai Shu listened so carefully, and understood why these dishes were so expensive that only the wealthy princes and ladies in the prefecture could afford them.

However, the young man in Tsing Yi said indifferently after hearing this: "That's all. After all, it's only a prefectural city, and it's still far behind the capital. Forget it, it's better than the meals on the boat. Let's make do with it."

It was only then that Bai Shu realized that this young man in Tsing Yi was the one who fed the roast chicken to the dogs on the boat.

He thought of those delicious children who could eat a handful of beans in the village, and he sighed.In the Xuan Dynasty, there was indeed a mountain-like gap between the rich and the poor with different backgrounds.

After Bai Zhu's lunch was served, there was a burst of noisy debate in the hall on the first floor of Laifle Building.

The hall in the middle of Lai Fu Building is transparent from top to bottom, and you can directly see the situation on the first floor from the second and third floors.

At this time, there was a lot of debate on the first floor, and there were people on the upper two floors looking down.

Debating loudly on the first floor were several merchants of North and South goods.

The merchants of goods from the north and the south are those who sell goods on both sides of the north and south. They resell the tea and silk from the south to the north, and then resell the fur and medicinal materials from the north to the south, so as to earn the price difference between them.

"In the Daxuan Dynasty, who else is better at doing business than Wanjia?" A middle-aged businessman who is not tall said, "Wanjia's sea market is doing very well, so the treasure ship will go out to sea and sell it." A large amount of tea, silk, and porcelain can bring back countless gold and silver treasures. There are also silverware and beads bought back from Nanyang, and they can make a fortune when they are brought to Daxuan. Let me say that this is the most important thing in the Daxuan Dynasty. Wanjia is the only one who can do business.”

"No, no..." Another bearded businessman retorted: "No matter how much Wanjia earns, it's just the sea market, and there are differences between peak and off seasons. But Daxuan's most profitable salt business is It's in the hands of the Qi family. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't eat salt? I've heard people say that a shopkeeper of a salt farm in the Qi family can buy hundreds of acres of fertile land in the village after working for ten years and become a huge rich man. The country gentry at the bottom is like this, but the steward above has no idea how much money he holds in his hands."

"If you want me to talk about the Jiangnan area, the Tang family's business is also flourishing everywhere. Porcelain, tea, silk, rouge and gouache are all available. Let's say that the Lai Fulou where we eat now is also the property of the Tang family?" A round Thin face businessman said.

"These are small businesses, which are not as profitable as Haishi and Yanyan." Someone retorted unconvinced.

"Even though it is a small business, the accumulated profits should not be underestimated."

……

They argued fiercely below, and the spectators beside them also interrupted from time to time.Bai Shu listened to it as interesting and learned a lot of information, so he also concentrated on it.

If he was still in the small Baitang Village, how could he know these things?Bai Shu thought: it really is right to come to Fucheng.

Bai Shu heard these arguments, and of course the nobles at the table next to him also heard them.

Gradually, the Tang family was excluded from the comparison because they did not have any monopoly big business.

When everyone's discussion focused on the dispute between Wan and Qi, the young man in Tsing Yi put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and walked to the corridor, looking down, with an unclear expression in his eyes.

At the end of the debate, since most of the participants in the debate were merchants from the north and the south, and they also had some business contacts with Wanjia, more people were in favor of Wanjia.

The young man in Tsing Yi snorted coldly, slapped the table fiercely and said loudly: "A group of ignorant fools, poor businessmen from the countryside. They don't understand anything, and they are still arguing here. Who knows who is behind the Qi family. Regardless of his status and status, it only takes one little finger to crush Wanjia."

His voice was so loud that the merchants downstairs raised their heads.Seeing that the person upstairs talking was a noble young man in gorgeous clothes, guessing that he had some background, someone asked: "This young man has a graceful bearing, but what does he know?"

The young man in Tsing Yi said mockingly: "Behind the Qi family is the empress of today. Apart from the emperor, is there anyone more noble than this? If the Qi family wants to be a sea market, it's just a matter of one sentence. There are thousands of things."

When he said a word, all the merchants were speechless.Bai Shu, who was sitting next to him, also heard it, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, thinking that he really dared to speak.

I don't know what kind of relationship this person has with the Qi family. He dares to talk about using power for personal gain and maliciously suppressing him so honestly. It doesn't seem like a good match.

As soon as the young man in Tsing Yi finished speaking, a cold sneer came from the third floor.

"Who is laughing?" The young man in Tsing Yi immediately asked with a hostile face, "What's so funny?"

Just then the voice continued: "I laugh at some people who obviously don't know how to do business, but relying on the shelter of the mountain behind them, they still insist that they consider themselves experts and force others to admit it."

Although he didn't mention his name, he pointed directly at the young man in Tsing Yi just now.

The young man in Tsing Yi was immediately annoyed, and he wanted to get up and go upstairs to see who dared to accuse Sang and scold Huai like this without giving himself face.

Before he went up, the guest on the third floor came down by himself.

Bai Shu took a closer look, it turned out to be a young man dressed in black and colorful clothes, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes.

The young man looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with an elegant temperament, fair skin, and a thin figure, with a crimson smear on his forehead.

"You brat, how dare you speak wild words." The young man in Tsing Yi said with a gloomy expression, "Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I know." The young man raised his chin and raised his eyebrows with displeasure and said, "It's just a ruffian who bullies others without giving birth. I see a lot of dudes like you."

"You!" That young man in Tsing Yi, He Cheng, had suffered such insults, and immediately swung his palm towards the young man.

The young man was taken aback, but he didn't expect this person to move his hands directly, dodged backwards, and managed to avoid it, but the mop on his forehead was grabbed by the opponent, revealing a blood-red cinnabar mole in the middle.

It turns out that the boy is actually a brother!Bai Zhu opened her mouth in surprise.

But when he looked at the young man at this moment, he was slender and handsome, a figure that only brothers could have, coupled with the cinnabar mole on his forehead, his face was actually a bit gorgeous.

What's more, behind him were two handsome servants with red moles on their foreheads.

The person who was surprised was not only Bai Shu, but the young man in Tsing Yi was also taken aback, his eyes looked up and down the young man.

The anger on his face gradually turned into a lewd smile: "I don't know who you are, but you are just a bastard. You look handsome, so come over to have a few glasses of wine with us and coax me Get comfortable, and I won't pursue this matter with you any more."

Young Master Tsing Yi said something obscene, and the young masters who were at the same table with him were not very friendly, so they laughed loudly.

That brother blushed, bit his lip and gave those people a hard look, and was about to walk away.

But Young Master Tsing Yi gave an order, and several tall and burly guards came up downstairs, surrounding the little brother and his two servants.

"What are you doing?" the little brother said with a pale face.

"No reason, it's just that drinking by yourself is boring, so I just find a few brothers to accompany me." Young Master Tsing Yi said, and waved.

Several guards immediately rushed forward, cut the three hands behind their backs, and escorted them to the table of Young Master Tsing Yi.

The little brother struggled desperately and shouted: "How dare you! Is there any law left! Do you know where this is?"

The shopkeeper of Laifulou also rushed over, and said with a smile on his face: "Guests, you will be free of money for this meal, it's just a small misunderstanding, please show your respect."

Young master Tsing Yi was unmoved, and he didn't even look at the shopkeeper.

Fang Fang grinned grimly, holding the wine glass with one hand, pinching the little brother's chin with the other, and was about to pour wine into it and said, "Everywhere is the kingdom of Daxuan, I think your mouth can speak, but I don't know that you have a tongue that can speak well." , is it fun to play?"

"Stop! Woo--" The little brother struggled hard, and tears burst into his eyes.

He is usually considered a person who likes the wind and the rain, so he didn't hold back when he spoke just now, how could he expect to meet such an unreasonable villain in this prefecture today.

Today, without telling the truth to his elder brother, he did not bring the guards at home, and after dressing up, he sneaked out. Now he wanted to ask for help, but he didn't know how to inform his good elder brother that he was coming.

In desperation, the little brother closed his eyes...

The next second, the big palm that was pinching his chin was loosened, and the young man in Tsing Yi let out a scream, covered his red wrist in embarrassment, and shouted: "Who is it?"
