Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 260 Potential stocks, apprenticeship
The whole restaurant was bustling with people coming and going, outside officials wearing brocade and carrying gifts. The heat from the hot pot and the smell of mutton permeated the small half of the street. On the high platform, three young and beautiful girls were still wearing bright and revealing clothes and shaking with the music. The sharp and dynamic dance showed the hot figure of the girl to the fullest. Looking at the swaying breasts, it provoked the audience on the second floor. The squinting eyes of the perfunctory-dressed beasts on the top refused to stop.

This year is still so unfair. The embroidered brocades of these outsiders are shining brightly under the light during the feasting, but the textile workers who weave these outside the city are wearing dirty clothes of homemade cloth, eating salted radish and sweet potato. After all, Song Qingshu, a capitalist, squeezed the working class better than the feudal landlords squeezed the peasants. At least the workers who worked for Song Qingshu didn't have to struggle to death like those tenants.

"Oh, Li has been sorry for the emperor for delaying his return home for such a long time. Now, how dare you work so hard? It's a sin, a sin!"

Facing the tyrants of Dai County who kept shuttling and coming to see off and give gifts, it was Li Jiantai, who deserved to be the vice president of the Ming Dynasty National University. This Li Jiantai is really a good-looking talent. Xianguan, dressed in a Confucian robe, looks extremely elegant and romantic, and there are poems written by himself on it, and he went to Jiaduobao Tailored Clothing Shop to ask the embroiderer to embroider on the clothes, showing a cultural atmosphere.

But I am ashamed to say that this old boy is not merciless in accepting presents, all the big and small parcels are piled up into a hill.

"Jia Duo Bao Song Dong's house is here!"

Just when people were coming and going, the accounting office suddenly shouted again, and the entire banquet hall on the second floor seemed to be silent. Recently, he has become the God of Wealth of the big guys, with fiery eyes Among them, Song Qingshu himself was also wearing a high-end Chinese tunic suit, and hurriedly walked to the second floor, apologizing while walking.

"Oh, Mr. Song is late, please forgive me!"

"Haha, Mr. Song is able to see this old man off in his busy schedule. This old man is already very grateful. How dare he complain? Come on, please take a seat!"

Although it was the first time we met, this Li Jiantai was much less official, he greeted him in person, stroking his beard and laughing, with an enthusiastic appearance, just like the elders next door, who had just greeted County Magistrate Zhao a few days ago, That domineering look left a deep impression on many people present. Now that they compared it again, many country gentry couldn't help nodding their heads. No wonder he was able to be a high-ranking official in the capital!This demeanor is admirable enough.

To be honest, this Li Jiantai is quite low-key. Dai County is Song Qingshu's current lair. I don't know how many spies from the beggar army are watching the streets and alleys. Song Qingshu didn't know that there was such a treasure hidden in Dai County. It's winter, and even the Jiangnan cook who entertained Zhao County Magistrate last time was borrowed from the manager. Although he was destined to be ripped off tonight, Song Qingshu still gained a lot of favor, and hurriedly hugged him heavily again.

"Li Weng is too polite. Last time I wanted to thank Li Weng for his kindness as a cook. This county is located in the northern part of Saibei, and there are no special products in the congested and remote areas. Song couldn't repay him, so he had to get a fish to repay Li Weng's kindness. I hope Li Weng will not be disgusted."

fish?Now Song Qingshu can be regarded as the largest local tyrant in the county of the previous generation. It would be a bit too shabby to send a fish to the Beijing officials. Listening to Song Qingshu, the nearby big merchants such as Cao Sanxi and Li Guotai couldn't help being stunned, but Li Jiantai always faced him. With a smile, as if he really didn't mind.

But as Song Qingshu clapped his hands, the guests on the second floor who came to see him off couldn't help but gasped again.

Fish, it’s really a fish, a live fish, but the size of this fish is really big enough, almost two meters long, and it takes three people to hug it together, and the tail of the fish twitches so that the people behind almost want to fall.

These days, the big Yellow River carp is not as rare as the later generations, but this physique is enough to be admired, and Dai County is not close to the Yellow River, let alone a hundred miles, such a big carp was transported to Dai County Not to mention, and it is still fresh, this financial resources are enough to be called rich and powerful.

Li Jiantai is from Quwo, so he is not ignorant of the deliciousness of the Yellow River carp. Song Qingshu’s gift is really worth a thousand dollars. Looking at Li Jiantai, he stroked his beard and laughed in satisfaction: "Song Dong’s family has a heart. It's really good!"

"As long as Li Weng likes it!"

After a round of chanting, the three waiters carried the unlucky big fish to the back kitchen again. Song Qingshu didn't care how steamed and braised with raw meat, and they exchanged pleasantries for a while. Sit on the chairman's face.

In fact, this fish was originally brought back by Song Qingshu to support the facade. Does he know the chilling technology of later generations, put the newly caught Yellow River carp in ice water, and arrange people to blow air into it continuously to supply oxygen to the water, even though 100 Duoli is a bit far away, but later generations buy lobsters on Tmall, and they can be alive for thousands of kilometers, which is a trivial matter.

Sashimi is not only available in Japan, the ancient Chinese also used to cut carp, that is, fresh fish slices are as thick as paper, dipped in ginger vinegar, the taste is also extraordinary, a big fish was unlucky enough to be chopped into N pieces, Braised in soy sauce and steamed with dry frying, a table full of fish banquet came out, and Li Jiantai couldn't help applauding again and again when he took a large piece of raw fish with his chopsticks.

With a smile, Song Qingshu waved behind him again, and Zhou Yuji moved a rather heavy wooden box, which was full of gold!One hundred ingots of pure gold are worth at least 2 taels of silver. In order to greet this Li Jiantai, Song Qingshu really spent a lot of money.

There is no way, the three words of Li Jiantai are worth the money!Don't look at him now as a small Imperial Regulatory Commissioner, and a fourth-rank official does not have much real power, but Song Qingshu knows that the old man in front of him will be a secondary assistant scholar of Ming Dynasty in the future, equivalent to a prime minister, although Li Jiantai will be a prime minister for quite a while. It's short, and it's unlucky enough, but just because of the ability to be a prime minister, being able to curry favor with him will still be of great help to the development of the begging army.

There are people in the court who are good at being officials!Now Song Qingshu's commotion has become quite a commotion, sooner or later someone will be jealous of his wealth, although no one is afraid of robbing Song Qingshu tomorrow, but he is afraid that he will make a stumbling block in the court, especially since he is still a black household now Well, there are people who speak for themselves in the court, and if there is a disturbance, they can quickly spread the news. For Li Jiantai, a potential stock, this should be paid for.

Seeing that the two of them were carrying the heavy box, Li Jiantai's old handsome face suddenly smiled warmer, and he didn't look at it. He ordered Cong Ren to put it aside, and immediately reached out and grabbed Song Qingshu's clothes sleeve, asked very kindly.

"Song Dong's family has outstanding talents, and they are also very refined. I don't know if they are famous now?"

What if in the early Ming Dynasty, businessmen wanted to take the imperial examination?Don't even think about it!Moreover, the parents are not allowed to rely on business within three generations, and they have discriminated against businessmen to such an extent. However, now that more than 200 years have passed, the rules have almost been broken. Among them, the most famous ones are Huizhou merchants, so Li Jiantai asked. It's not surprising.

Song Qingshu, who heard this, was depressed. He was a business ape. He was taking the exam before time travel. After the time travel in Xi'an City, he also wanted to take the exam, but after many exams, he finally passed the exam. There is a fart about fame, and asking about fame in public, to Song Qingshu, is a bit like asking an ordinary college student's diploma in a doctoral group.

"This, boy, I'm ashamed, I'm still a white man, and I haven't passed the exam!"

Li Jiantai frowned obviously when he heard this, and Song Qingshu who read it cursed in his heart again, "Damn it, food and drink are provided for offerings, and money is given away. In the end, I still look down on Lao Tzu, the money for begging thieves is so good." took it?When you come back to Beijing, I won't kill you, you old bone!
However, just when Song Qingshu was scolding happily in his heart, this Li Jiantai asked again in a deliberate manner.

"Song Dong's family, the old man feels that I have a special affinity with you. Now that the hairpin has passed, I want to accept you as a student. I don't know what to do with it?"

Accept me as an apprentice?Song Qingshu was really stunned for a long time, seeing Li Jiantai's frown, Song Qingshu was really ecstatic, and immediately stepped back, clasped his fists and put down.

"Students meet the teacher!"

"Haha, good student, please get up quickly!" He stroked his beard and smiled in satisfaction, Li Jiantai stretched out his hand and helped Song Qingshu up. Many gentry from generation to county who came to the banquet were dumbfounded by this scene, and Song Qingshu felt the same. The music turned over, if Li Jiantai, an old boy, knew that he was a famous begging handsome man, he didn't know how to cry, if the master of heaven and earth rebelled, his master would also be in trouble!
With Song Qingshu's obeisance, it can be said that Li Jiantai followed on board the pirate ship, and he couldn't even get off. He didn't know that his days of walking on thin ice in the capital had just begun, and Li Jiantai held his glass of wine in satisfaction and walked around.

"Today, this old man accepts this beautiful apprentice, what a great joy! Come, let's all drink this cup to the brim!"

Many people present also knew the details of Song Qingshu, and they were fooled into signing the anti-book. Now, it seems that another stupid big head came in in a daze. Shout.

Congratulations to Li Weng for accepting this excellent apprentice, congratulations!Congratulations!
It's just that the tone sounds a bit weird no matter what.
