Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 1018 Alive

Zhao Zheng arranged for the inspectors, glanced at the crowded and noisy team because they were going to be divided into six teams for inspection, and immediately added a yamen servant and said: "You, take a gong and go to the city, go to the place where the inns and restaurants are crowded, and shout, Let’s just say that nearly ten thousand people came to Beijing today, all of them are business travelers.”

  He said: "Go on horseback."

  The yamen servant took the order, and immediately rode Zhao Zheng's horse back to the city.

  Zhao Hu still doesn't know that Zhao Song is here today, and he is having dinner with others in Zhenxiu Restaurant.

  He plans to ask a designer to help design the five houses he wants to build.

  That’s right, even though he hasn’t bought the piece of land from the Wang family, he still regards it as his own and invited someone to design it.

   This designer is called Pei Xian, who is now a doctor of the Ministry of Industry and also a doctor of Taixue. He comes from the Pei family in Hedong. He has some opinions on house construction and mountain forest layout, but his reputation is not obvious.

  He is a Confucian scholar, what a human being... It is difficult to describe in Zhao Hu's words.

  He is smooth, but not smooth.

It is said that he is tactful because he is never proud of his family background, he is a humble and self-reliant person, and he is very polite to everyone; he is not tactful because he seldom speaks, even if something is asked of him, he often Do not express your own opinions and views.

  Although Zhao Hu is Zhao Hanzhang's great-uncle, in fact, very few people in the aristocratic family are willing to make friends with him. Those who make friends with him are either old dudes like him, or people who want something.

  Pei Xian is neither a dude, nor does he want anything from Zhao Hu, but he is very polite whenever he sees him, so Zhao Hu likes to drink with him occasionally.

   It's just that drinking with him is too boring. If it wasn't for asking him for something this time, Zhao Hu wouldn't even want to invite him to drink.

   "Did you arrange the garden in Jing Si's house by yourself?"

  Pei Xian responded, "Yes, it's just a minor change."

   "The layout is good. I know that Jingsi has his own opinions on the structure of the house and the layout of the garden, so I would like to ask Jingsi to draw some pictures for me."

Pei Xian hesitated when he heard the words. He knew that someone bought the burned-out house recently. Zhao Hanzhang told him to be careful when approving the construction of the house recently. He paid attention to the prices and sources of various building materials in Luoyang City...

   To be honest, it was the first time for Pei Xian to do this kind of work, and the things were very trivial. He felt that the work of Taixue was more enjoyable. He especially wanted to resign from his position as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and concentrate on being a doctor of Taixue.

   But his wife doesn't allow it.

  Now Zhao Hu asks him to draw again, Pei Xian...doesn't really want to draw.

  Keep people soft-spoken, and Zhao Hu sincerely flattered him for a long time, and finally Pei Xian couldn't help but agree.

As soon as Zhao Hu was happy, he waved his big hand and wanted to invite someone to recruit actors to come and play to add to the fun. When he suddenly heard the clanging sound from below, he couldn't help turning his head to look down, and saw a government servant standing desperately on the street with a gong Knock, and then shouted loudly: "Today, nearly ten thousand business travelers from Yuzhou have entered the city. Anyone who is interested can go to the gate of the city to solicit business. The county lord has something to say, you must pay attention to integrity when doing business, and no cheating is allowed!"

  He yelled twice, then walked away with the gong in hand, and rang it again at the next street corner.

After Zhao Hu heard this, he couldn't sit still any longer, and couldn't care less about calling for an actor. After talking to Pei Xian, he immediately went out to find the shopkeeper and the steward, "Hurry up and ask someone to steam rice and pull noodles, and send someone to the gate of the city to see , Tens of thousands of people came from Yuzhou, they must have followed our Zhao family army, otherwise so many fat sheep would have been slaughtered several times on the way, you immediately take the money and go to the gate of the city to see if there are any familiar people, Take a look at the goods they brought, there are beautiful silk and satin cloths, as well as porcelain, and you can buy all the ones at the right price."

  Zhao Hu: "Remember, when the price is agreed upon, a deposit is given first, and the settlement is not complete."

  Luoyang City is currently short of things. As more and more people come in, commodities, especially luxury living materials, cannot be supplied at all.

  Now Luoyang City is going to grab even a bolt of fine linen, let alone such good fabrics as silk and satin.

Thinking that the weather had started to turn cold, Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "There are also furs and felts, pick up the important things and ask, how much do we want, show the courage of our Zhao family, grab the things first and then talk. "

  He can guarantee that after getting the goods, he can sell them quickly, and the funds will be returned quickly and then settled. This in and out can make a lot of money, and then he will buy land and build a house, and sell them at a high price after the construction is completed...

  Zhao Hu's eyes became happier the more he thought about it, and his eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, telling the stewards to act quickly.

Zhenxiu Restaurant is a combination of a high-end restaurant and an inn. Of course, he must also consider the customers on the next floor. Coincidentally, Zhao Hu was cheated by Zhao Hanzhang to buy a lot of shops two years ago. An inn and restaurant.

  He asked people to find the shopkeepers of those two houses, and got ready together, and then went to the gate of the city to solicit customers.

  The owners and shopkeepers of other shops are not fools either, the yamen servants have shouted that, although they want to wait for customers in the shop reservedly, but they can't sit still when they see that someone from the next shop seems to be going to the city gate.

  So the hosts sent people to the gate of the city to attract guests, while they themselves sat in the shop and asked people to prepare all the meals.

  If you don’t have enough food, you have to go to the vegetable market immediately to buy food, rice... If there are really tens of thousands of business travelers pouring in, the rice will be consumed too much at once, and you really need to buy some more...

  So the procurement is also divided into two groups, one goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and the other goes to buy rice noodles and other things.

  There are several streets in Luoyang dedicated to selling vegetables, distributed in various directions. This was specially arranged by Zhao Kuan according to Zhao Hanzhang's intention when he became the county magistrate of Luoyang.

   Just under the corner of the street, draw squares one by one. Except for a few meat stalls which are fixed stalls, other stalls are chosen by early arrivals.

  Zhao Hanzhang issued an order that stalls selling vegetables and agricultural by-products would not be charged stall fees and taxes, so people inside and outside Luoyang, as long as they had vegetables and chickens at home, could sell them in the city.

  The meat stalls with fixed stalls also only charge very low rents, but the meat stalls have strict requirements and need to ensure the quality of the meat. They also need to regularly report to the county government the information they know about the villages and households raising meat and poultry.

  These butchers need to go to the streets and alleys, and go to the mountains and the countryside to buy meat and poultry. They know exactly how many chickens, how many pigs, and how many sheep are raised, even more detailed than Lizheng.

  Zhao Kuan arranges the number of piglets and chickens sent to each village every year based on this information. Of course, these matters are now under the control of Zhao Erlang.

Now that the weather is cold, the number of vegetables in the fields has decreased, but there are still many people who bring vegetables to the city to sell every day, but they are not easy to sell as usual. Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, the vegetable farmers are trying to lower the price of vegetables to sell. Seeing a lot of people coming in from the street, they immediately cheered up and shouted loudly, "Cabbage, cabbage, fresh cabbage..."

   "Mustard greens, mustard greens, fresh mustard greens..."

  The purchasing manager who came didn't even look at it, he walked all the way and clicked, "Weigh it, weigh it, I'll take it all..."

   As soon as the voice fell, someone walked over quickly from behind and said, "I took this mustard greens, how much is it per catty?"

  The vegetable farmer made an offer in a daze, "A bundle of two pennies."
