Chapter 54 Life-saving Straw

On the way to Yun's Grain Store, Yun Zhao grabbed Qian Shaoshao's face and looked at it carefully, and looked at this guy's eyes, nose, and mouth. After touching it again, he said with certainty: "You really have eyes, eyebrows, a nose, and a mouth."

Qian Shaoshao looked at Yun Zhao aggrievedly and said nothing.

His eyes are neither big nor small, his eyebrows are neither thick nor light, his nose is neither high nor short, and his mouth has no characteristics and looks like many people's mouths.

"My little brother will lose it accidentally. He has lost it dozens of times since he was a child."

Yun Zhao sighed and said: "No matter who is doing it Even a biological sister like you will be ignored by others."

Qian Duoduo nodded and said: "Yes, he is obviously a boy and should be the most favored, but no one likes him. I alone regard him as a treasure.

I have asked the eldest lady, he will be your book boy from now on, and he will study a little, marry a wife in the future, and help our family continue the family line. ”

Yun Zhao looked up at the sky. He suddenly discovered that since arriving in the Ming Dynasty, the people here, especially the women, have been thinking very long-term.

For example, the first moment my mother discovered that her son was not stupid, she imagined that her son would be admitted to the first prize and bring his new daughter-in-law to kneel down and serve tea to her in a red robe.

Nowadays, Qian Duoduo is also thinking about the issue of his sister-in-law, and has begun to fantasize about the scene where his brother and sister-in-law bring her a fat nephew. Judging from her silly smile, it is estimated that the infant baby The fat nephew was peeing on her face with his penis erect.

Real life seems to be full of life. One or both of them are living in a dream. They only show the most beautiful scene in their future life. The most difficult part in the middle is about to be bitten by this physical body. Ya risked his life to carry it.

The shopkeeper of the Yun family's grain store still has the surname Yun, and his name is Yun Shide. This name suggests that he is not from the same family, but from a foreign family. He is not very old but has a seniority.

I thought my mother would treat her with courtesy, but I didn’t expect my mother’s face to be covered with frost after she got off the carriage.

Shopkeeper Yun used to have a very straight back, but since he saw his mother, he has never straightened up again.

"Account book!"

The mother said, and the accountant immediately took out the account book and stood with the shopkeeper, bending down, waiting for the mother to question.

Yunzhao sat on a tall chair and ate the refreshments served to the big guests in the shop. These refreshments were not very tasty, so he swung his legs dangling in the air and looked at the grain store in boredom.

In the past, I only knew that Yun's Grain Store had a grain store, but I didn't expect that the scale of the grain store would be so large. A street is only about 300 meters long, and Yun's Grain Store occupies half of the street. Only Yun Zhao From what I’ve learned about Xi’an stores these days, this is definitely one of the biggest deals in Xi’an.

Yun Zhao has never seen the two grain stores near the Drum Tower and Bell Tower. Judging from the size of this one in Dacha City, the other two are absolutely huge.It's not small.

Dacha City was originally a side street of the old Wannian County. Because it was close to Jingzhao Station, the largest post station in Guanzhong, it gradually turned into the largest grass market. As the accent of the people in Guanzhong gradually changed, , Daicao City became Dacha City.

Yun Zhao thought about the location of Xi'an City in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If there were three big grain stores like this at home at that time, there would be no need for him to painstakingly manage any seasonings. Bags, it’s a joke if they don’t have them...

After reading the account book, my mother immediately checked the warehouse. She inserted a long prod into the grain stack made of haystacks, pulled it out and checked the quality of the grain. , let the guy go back again.

My mother did this process very smoothly and was very familiar with it. It seemed that she had done this kind of thing many times.

"Although there are some small errors, it's generally fine!"

The mother sat back on the big chair, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and gave it to the shopkeeper and the accountant. A piece of reassurance.

"You must be careful, I must be careful!"

The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly. Seeing Yun Zhao looking at him, he straightened up and gave Yun Niang a thumbs up and said, "Young Master The defeat of Lai Laoliu on South Street has already made him famous in Xi'an City. He is truly a hero.

I heard that the young master has the secret recipe for the food of my Yun family, but is it true? ”

Yun Niang raised her eyelids and said: "It's just a kid's nonsense."

Yun Zhao said dissatisfied: "Why are you just fooling around? I came up with the secret recipe. With my secret recipe, you can Crude food turns into delicacies!”

The shopkeeper said quickly: “I wonder how the young master can use this secret recipe. If it works, Yun’s has a vacant storefront in Gulou’s grain store, which he can specialize in. Canteen business."

Yun Zhao sighed and said: "This secret recipe can only make the crude food more delicious, but it can't do it with the fine workmanship of the canteen.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked: " How to do it? "

Yun Niang said impatiently: "Do business properly, don't think about it. He is a child and you are a child too?"

Yun The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Madam, you don't know, there is a lot of potential in doing business with the Mongols!"

Seeing the seriousness on the shopkeeper's face, Yun Niang sat up straight and said, "Then let's talk Arrive!”

Shopkeeper Yun took a step forward and said, “Madam, you don’t know that the Mongolians eat nothing but roasting, roasting, boiling and drying.

Every time Mongolians come to Guanzhong for business, they like the food in Chang'an Market the most, and there are many people who linger there.

If the young master's secret recipe can really change their rough meals, the villain thinks. This business is great!

Nowadays, the grain output in Guanzhong has dropped sharply, and our grain store has obviously run out of grain.Enough, by April next year, our grain store will be faced with a situation where there will be no grain to sell, and the government does not allow us to store grain without selling it. If there is no grain to sell by then, there will definitely be a big lawsuit.

If our family changes its profession at this time and no longer engages in grain trading, but instead engages in other businesses, our family’s business can continue. When we survive this famine and have sufficient grain, we can continue to do business. It’s not too late to open a grain store. "

Yunniang knew very well at the beginning of the year that the grain store would not be able to open. However, the reason why Yunshi was able to open the grain store was because Yunshi was the grain manager of Yunjiazhuangzi.

As the chief of grain, he has the obligation to collect money and grain to the court.

In the past, there was plenty of grain in Guanzhong, and the shopkeepers of grain stores could always rely on the surplus to make up for the Yun family's grain gap. Yes, it’s impossible today. Farmers no longer have any extra grain to sell. Even if there is surplus grain, the price is high...

Now the price of grain has risen to the highest price of three taels and six cents of silver per load of grain. , there is still an endless stream of people buying food. As long as the food store is open, people buying food will not stop.

So, after this summer's harvest, Yun Niang did not supply the food at home like in previous years. Grain stores, resulting in a sharp decline in the grain stocks in the grain stores.

“Madam, we can still support it for half a year. After half a year, if there is no new grain in the grain store, the government will check the warehouse and there will be no grain. If the government sees the warehouse, they will be in big trouble.

In any case, we must prepare in advance. More than half of the 187 grain stores in Xi'an have been closed. Taking advantage of the slow government action, it is still too late to close the grain stores now. If we wait for the official document Once we get down, these three grain stores will become a noose around my Yun family’s neck, and will squeeze out every last drop of our blood.

Yunniang looked at her bored son and sighed: "Zhao'er, can you really come up with such a secret recipe?"

Yun Zhao looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Can I cook?" "

Shopkeeper Yun shook his head and said: "Cooking is my wife's business, and I have never been involved in it.

Yun Zhao smiled, and asked Yunmeng to take out a bag of ingredients he had just prepared, and said to the shopkeeper: "You know how to chop the meat and wash it, right?" "

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This is not difficult.

Yun Zhao looked at his mother and said: "Then ask the shopkeeper to buy half a sheep, chop the meat into pieces, pour it into a casserole and cook it. When the meat is almost cooked, put this bag Pour the ingredients in and see how the finished product looks. ”

The shopkeeper walked away with a bag of ingredients. Yun Niang asked Yunmeng for another bag of ingredients. After opening it, she found that except for the icing sugar, red dates, dried vegetables and Yun Zhao’s sun-dried sauce at noon. Except for what she recognized, everything else was just brown powder.

“Who puts icing sugar in their ingredients? ”

“The frosting makes the material package valuable. "

As he spoke, Yun Zhao rewrapped the material bag with paper rope, put the material bag on the pillow and said to his mother: "What do you think of exchanging a bag of material like this for a sheep? ”

Yunniang shook her head, pettingYun Zhao looked at his fat son who didn't know the fireworks of the world, touched his little face and said: "There is no such fool."

Yun Zhao put down the material bag in his hand and smiled: "I am responsible for finding such a fool. Fool! You may lose money for a few days, don’t worry!”
