Chapter 98: Things are done well

Zhang Xiangwen couldn't understand this truth very well. Why did his uncle open two Baohe Buildings in Zhoucheng and Yunxi? Why are these two restaurants not only doing well, but also not even Qingpi dared to make trouble in half of the place? It was because his second and third uncles were standing behind him.

桐油生意比酒楼生意更大,赚钱更多,背后站着的人只怕就更厉害.

"Okay, don't think about it. This is not sure. I have asked your sister-in-law to start stocking up oil. Even if you can't make a big deal, you can make some money." Speaking of this, Tang Cheng said to Zhang Xiangwen: "By the way, your uncle is also in business, so you can persuade him to do this too."

Zhang Xiangwen shook his head when he heard this, "My uncles are the same as my father, and they are the most careful in their work. My uncle, my youngest, has just opened a wine shop and a warehouse, and now he still has enough money and energy to interfere in the tung oil business. You have never seen him. His favorite saying is, 'It's better to be familiar than to be a raw person.' Even what he said when he advised me to study in the county. Besides, even if he is willing, my second uncle will not agree. Whether it is Sun Jun or the person behind the big tung oil shop, my second uncle must not want to offend him."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded. It is better to be familiar with it than to be a brute. Zhang Xiangwen’s uncle is really right. In addition, he opened a shop and now he is afraid that he will not have enough money to invest in the tung oil business. The restaurant is better, but the warehouse is the most cost-effective, let alone if he really wants to interfere in the tung oil business, the money needed is not a little bit.

Because this matter was not fixed, the two of them did not talk about it anymore. After dinner, Tang Cheng stayed in the inn and waited for news about Wu Yujun. Since he had confirmed that he could meet with Governor Sun, Sima would have to make it clear in advance. At that time, Governor Sun and Sima Zhang worked together to make efforts, and the matter of Governor Yao's chief clerk would be settled today.

After dinner, Zhang Xiangwen went to his second uncle's mansion and brought old Gan Tou back together. He couldn't say that Sun Jun would see him. There were two middle-aged men who followed him, but although these two were wearing ordinary clothes, the smell on their bodies was not easy to hide. When Zhang Xiangwen introduced them, these two men were indeed the tolerant of the state yamen.

早上张相文吃饭时说他二叔素来谨慎,现在看看还真是半点不假.

吴玉军是午初时候过来的,当下也没多余的话.唐成带着老甘头上了车后跟着他一路往刺史府而去.

This was the first time Tang Cheng met the governor Sun. He was in his forties and had a clear face. He was not as powerful as the local officials in later TV series. Instead, he was a little gentle and soft. He was a typical Jiangnan figure. He didn't talk much and talked less to Tang Cheng. Most of the time, he just listened quietly, and even asked more questions, he asked the old Gan Touer directly.

The meeting in the study of the envoy's mansion was not long, not even half an hour. After reading the confession and listening to what Lao Gan Tou said, the meeting was over. Sun Envoy didn't say much, but only ordered Lao Gan Tou to take the confession to Zhang Sima after leaving the mansion.

唐成闻言,已知此事成了,当下也没再多留.跟老甘头儿一起辞出.

中午饭倒是在使君府里吃的,陪客的依旧是吴玉军,菜的花式并不多,三个人不过四个菜一个汤品,但胜在精致,另外值得一提地是那酒也不错.

"I have asked someone to bring the letter back to the Peach Blossom Petals. If it is slower, it will be delivered tomorrow if it is fast." On the way out of the house after dinner, Tang Cheng smiled and said to Wu Yujun: "I don't know that Brother Wu has considered the matter of tung oil. This news will not last long. If you want to do it, the sooner the better."

Wu Yujun looked at the old Gan Touer who was following behind and pulled Tang Cheng aside, "I'm not afraid of you, Brother Tang, you'll make a joke. My sister has to make the decision on this matter. Don't rush back. Let's wait in the city for a day or two first. If my sister really wants to do this business, she will definitely ask you for questions."

After all, this business is big. Mrs. Wu said she had to look for the court first, then think about it repeatedly, or even discuss it with Sun Envoy before she could make a decision. It was really impossible to be quick. Tang Cheng smiled and nodded and said, "Since Brother Wu, you said it, I will just follow it."

"I have many people dealing with, but I just feel good about being with you!" Wu Yujun smiled and patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder, "You can do it first, I will take you to a good place to have fun in the evening."

Seeing Wu Yujun's lewd smile on his face, Tang Cheng knew that what he was talking about must be a place of tile and tiles. After smiling and nodding, he and Old Gan Touer left the governor's mansion through the side door.

Old Gan Touer had two to protect him, and Zhang Xiangwen followed him to his second uncle's house to wait for news. After Tang Cheng took a short while, he was bored in the inn and simply went on the street to take a walk.

After Liu Liudada wandered around the route with Lan Cao'er last time, Tang Cheng was worried about the incident with Zhubu Yao, so he turned around and returned to the guest house behind Baohe Building without turning any more.

The sunset was setting, until dusk, and Zhang Xiangwen finally came back, "Brother, it's done! Six consignees took my second uncle to sign the book to Yunxi with their own signature. They should have left the city now." Zhang Xiangwen said this and smiled, "I have seen the book with my own eyes, and it says 'Catch it and arrest it'!"

Zhang Xiangwen was so thief-smile. Tang Cheng understood after thinking about it. The policemen from the state set off now and rode a fast horse to Yunxi County. It was midnight. "The arrest immediately" means to arrest him as soon as possible, but wouldn't it just block the Yao Zhubu's bed?

Thinking of the way Yao Zhubu was pulled out of the quilt, if he was still doing a couple... Thinking of this, Tang Cheng and Zhang Xiangwen looked at each other, both of them couldn't help laughing out loud.

Since the boss Yao made such a ruthless move that day, Tang Cheng has been holding a sense of depression in his heart. At this time, with the laughter, the depression and depression had finally dissipated for several months. "Didn't you say anything?" After all, Yao Zhuan is the third in charge of a county. If he wants to attack him, it is impossible to completely bypass Ma Biaojia. Tang Chengyin asked this question after laughing.

"I asked, but my second uncle didn't say anything." Zhang Xiangwen shook his head with regret, and then smiled, "But I think he will definitely not be able to bear it."

"That's true!" Tang Cheng smiled and breathed, "But if this happens, our Yunxi County Office will completely offend the horses."

"Yes, but Lao Ma is fifty-seven this year, and he has been resigning for only three or two years at his age. Besides, even if he offended him, he was worried about the magistrate Zhang and Master Hu. What's the use of being anxious?" Zhang Xiangwen said, and his hands were already coming to pull Tang Cheng. "I used to be in the county school, but now I'm in the county government. I'm rarely here to visit the prefecture city. After all, the main business is done, and I just went out to take advantage of the bustling."

"I'm still waiting for someone here," Tang Chengyin said that Wu Yujun was coming to the place to come to the evening. After hearing this, Zhang Xiangwen's face returned to a serious look and said, "Brother, don't tell him that Zhang Sima is my second uncle after Wu Yujun comes."

"I don't say that Zhang Sima is your second uncle, but I don't even talk about the matter when we went to the state city to find your second uncle first, right?" Seeing Zhang Xiangwen nodding, Tang Cheng slapped him on the shoulder, "How stupid are you to be your elder brother? Do you deliberately make yourself feel uncomfortable."

It is really a taboo to ask two companies for help in one thing, but this time it is a big deal after all. It has to be done thoroughly. In addition, Zhang Xiangwen and Zhang Sima are relatives and nephews, so this is why. How could Tang Cheng do that to break up in front of Wu Yujun?

The two of them were waiting, but Wu Yujun didn't come. He sent the servant to tell him that he would have dinner with the old lady tonight and could not get out. Zhang Xiangwen was happy when he heard the news and immediately pulled Tang Chengju out.

Because they were waiting for Wu Yujun to come, the two of them didn't eat. At this time, Tang Cheng simply brought Zhang Xiangwen to the shop where he ate Sanhe Soup when he came last time.

The old hen soup was cooked with enough heat, the powdery skin was chewy, and the wontons were fresh and fragrant. In short, the Sanhe soup was still so authentic! When the old man came over with a large bowl of Sanhe soup, he even greeted Tang Cheng, "Young Master is here!"

"Oh! Uncle Wang still remembers me?"

"Why don't you remember? The young master gave me more than 30 cents when I came last time!" Although Wang Bo had wrinkles on his face, his smile was cheerful. "Although there are many guests here, it is rare to see the old lady come with me like the young master. The old man remembers it clearly."

"Yeah, it's delicious. Brother, you chose this place very well." Zhang Xiangwen looked dissatisfied when he came in. After taking a bite, he immediately praised him.

"But it's not just this Sanhe Soup, Wang Bo is also a unique skill." Looking at the old man whose hair and beard are white and his face is full of wrinkles, Tang Cheng's heart moved and said with a smile: "It's okay to make noodles on Baohelou, but he really doesn't know how to eat snacks. Second brother, you can recommend Uncle Wang to the shopkeeper."

Tang Cheng originally thought that it was not easy for Uncle Wang to set up a stall on the street when he was so old. It was cold in winter and hot in summer. At least it was more comfortable in Baohe Building. Besides, with his skills, he would not suffer any loss when he hired him.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, before Zhang Xiangwen could speak, Wang Wang was already smiling and shook his hand, "Thank you, my good intentions. I am very good here. The neighbors are used to me, and I am also used to listening to them talking and laughing when they are busy, making annoyance. If you want to make money, you can save some retirement, and even if there are too many, I can't use it!" Wang Wang finished speaking, smiled and went back to work.

In fact, since Zhang Xiangwen came back from his second uncle last night, Tang Chengdi's mind has mostly moved to the tung oil business. He is a poor person and now there are many places for his family to use money. When he encounters such an opportunity to make money, although he is open-minded, he is actually very nervous.

For him who was eager to make money, Wang Bo's words sounded a little different. Looking at the peaceful and cheerful smile on Wang Bo's face with white hair, Tang Cheng felt a little envious. There were many noble men in the city. Even if Wang Bo doesn't know a word, his open-mindedness who is indifferent to money actually has the style of a noble man.

But Xinxian was just Xinxian after all. Tang Cheng knew his situation, so he would not talk about himself. Just to make the two elders in his family live as comfortable as Wang Bo in the future, he would have to work hard.

After dinner, the two of them wandered around for a long time before returning to the inn. The next morning, when Tang Cheng finished washing and was having dinner with Zhang Xiangwen, a second brother from the hall came over and reported that the young master of the hall had ordered the fish he wanted to deliver yesterday had arrived.

After hearing the little brother who was running away from the hall, Tang Que said in surprise: "So fast!".

"It's definitely a night road." Zhang Xiangwen snored and drank a few sips, then stood up and wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go, take a look!"

Tang Cheng was eating quickly, but he was not as anxious as Zhang Xiangwen. After drinking all the rice porridge in the bowl, he got up and walked outside.

The two people who brought Peach Blossom Petals were the ones who were always with him when Zhang Xiangwen was in the county school. Zhang Xiangwen said that, right? At this time, the two of them were haggard in their faces, and it was clearly a night trip that had been rushing all night.

Zhang Xiangwen pointed to Lu Feng, who was loaded with a height of half a person on the carriage and asked, "Brother, did you give me instructions to the shopkeeper yesterday?"

"Yes", Tang Cheng got on the shaft and looked into Lu Feng, and saw about twenty peach petals swimming in the large wooden barrel. Some water plants were even placed on the surface of the barrel.

Tang Cheng reached out to catch fish. As soon as he met, the fish splashed and splashed and swam away. It was so joyful.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng was very happy from the shaft of the carriage, "Looking at how jumping, it's so fresh! Second brother, you really have to give me a good life when you go back, thank you, Fourth Uncle. It's not easy to get so many fish in just one afternoon. Peach blossom petals are not easy to find. The most rare thing is that these dozen fish are all around two pounds, which is the most time to eat."

"I told you a long time ago that after I handed over what's going on to my fourth uncle, I'll just keep my heart even." Zhang Xiangwen looked up at the sky. "Brother, it's not too early. Since you have something to do in the state city, I'll go back first. Now I'm at least taking the errand."

After sending Zhang Xiangwen away, Tang Cheng took the opportunity to go to Wu Yujun’s tea shop in Taipei City. Since the fish were brought, it would be best to send it while it was fresh.

Wu Yujun had just arrived at the shop not long after he heard that the fish had arrived, so he immediately said the same words as Tang Cheng just now, "So fast?"

"How dare I be negligent about what Brother Wu ordered? This was sent by the night road all night," Tang Que smiled when he heard this. "Brother Wu, do you think he will send it now?"

"Let's go, send it here, just in time for lunch to eat." When the two walked out, Wu Yujun put his hands on Tang Cheng's shoulders, and they waved out with their backs, "Now, the old lady is getting along with Coke, and she is happy. My sister can't help but praise me. Hehe! Brother, you, you are getting along more and more!"

After getting on Wu Yujun's carriage and arrived at Baohe Building, when he saw the fish that were jumping happily in the new wooden barrels, Wu Yujun could not say anything except shook his thumb at Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng is so fucking good at doing things. He can even think of this method. The old lady wants to eat fresh fish, but is there any more lively fish than this?

After instructing the coachman to follow him in the carriage loading the fish bucket, Wu Yujun waved to Tang Cheng who was standing on the side and said, "Brother, why are you still standing stupidly? Come up!"

Two carriages entered the governor's mansion from the side door one by one. After reaching the small courtyard where the kitchen was located, Wu Yujun asked someone to remove the wooden barrel, but did not let the people in the kitchen catch fish. "The old lady said that the peach blossom petals have been beautiful for several times. Now they are getting it lively. At least she has to invite her to come and take a look. Pingchao, you can treat Young Master Tang well, and I will come when I go."

"Yes, uncle." The kitchen manager called Guan Pingchao welcomed Tang Cheng to the room on the side to serve tea. He only continued his water and land skills. He heard the sound of greetings outside. It was obvious that the old lady had arrived.

Tang Cheng followed Fusheng out and saw Wu Yujun walking in with two women outside. The old man with silver hair in the middle was not to mention Mrs. Sun. The old lady was holding her next to her with a middle-aged woman wearing a five-drel-spread golden skirt. Seeing everyone's expression, this middle-aged woman should be Mrs. Sun, the head of the governor's mansion, who is famous for her good husbands.

Wu Yujun saw Tang Cheng, but did not call him, and led his sister and the old lady to the big wooden barrel. In order to offer treasure, this guy did not let the servants in the kitchen do anything, but leaned into Lu Feng for a while and worked, "Oh, run, run, I'll see you running there!", muttering, and when he stood up straight, he was already holding a peach blossom petal of two pounds in his hand.

"No wonder the old lady is thinking about it. This fish is just like the one with rouge. How did it grow this color?" Wu Yujun held the fish and presented it to the old lady. It was almost noon, and it was the best time of the day. There was a light pink blush like peach blossoms every two fingers wide space between the fish. The whole fish was very beautiful. This fish is known for its beauty. Now, under the bright sunshine, the red and white scales with water droplets reflect the bright sunlight, which is getting more beautiful.

"Wife, look at how flirting this fish is, and no one can bear to eat it!" The old lady was happy to see it. While patting her daughter-in-law's hand and saying this, the fish suddenly struggled in Wu Yujun's hand, and the splashes of the stars splashed on the old lady Sun's face. The old man was just a lively person. He was not only not angry when the splashes of the stars were stimulated, but he became more and more happy. "Oh! Look at how happy this fish is, you have to eat sashimi fish. Well, Yujun's child can do things and choose good sizes. Xiu'er, tell me, no one can move this fish and lively. My mother-in-law makes you a fly to chop sashimi for you at noon. Why don't you believe in the craftsmanship of my mother-in-law? Tell you, Tianci, but I like the fish sashimi I made since I was a child, and I will also try it out at noon!"

While talking, the old lady reached out and pointed the fish. As the fish body was about to stop, it made the old lady smile again.

Mrs. Sun's face was inevitably shy when she was called out by her mother-in-law in public, but she always treated her mother-in-law as a filial piety. In addition, her own younger brother was the one who did this. She smiled and said with a smile: "I heard Fusheng talk about how many times she said, "I said that my mother's flying knife was 'thin silk threads, which could be blown up by the wind; the knife was sound and sounded, as if it was in accordance with the rhythm', and she also muttered the poem "The loving mother waved the frost knife left and right, and the stew frost was flying golden plate and white snow high". My daughter-in-law had always regretted that she could not taste it in person, but now she had a long-cherished wish."

"You kid, I want to eat breakfast and say it to your mother." The old lady was happy to listen to this and laughed and patted her wife with her hands. "It's time to cut the steak with fresh fish. Xiu'er, you are good brother, but you may not be able to do everything for him. The important thing is the filial piety to your mother, mercy, good! It's really good."

My brother showed his face to make my mother-in-law happy. Mrs. Sun's sister's face was also bright. But Wu Yujun was a bachelor, promising nice words in his mouth, and waved to Tang Cheng who was standing on the same side, "Although I arranged this matter, he was the one who actually handled it, Tang Cheng! I just told him about this matter yesterday. It was here early this morning. Old lady, you may not know that this peach petal fish is only available in the countryside of Yunxi County under Jinzhou, and it is far away. In order to let old lady, you see this fresh fish earlier, Tang Cheng's family drove the night road all night!"

When did I say that my family came to the night trip? Wu Yujun can still speak vernacularly. Although he thought so, Tang Cheng knew that Wu Yujun gave him a good face and would not say anything more. He smiled and bowed to Mrs. Sun and said, "It is not easy for the old lady to come to Jinzhou from Jiangnan Road, which is far away. These fish are worth talking about? On weekdays, even if a foreigner comes to the family, he has to be welcomed. Not to mention that it is just these fish. Mrs. But if you have anything to eat and play, you should be a local from Jinzhou and be dedicated to it. At least you have to make the old lady live in Jinzhou healthy and happy."
