White Tigers Come to the City

White Tigers Come to the City

As soon as he entered the backyard, he suddenly heard the gentle pur singing from the front street. Ling Fei searched for a while and found that the master had not come back for so long. He was idle. He took his hands and rushed to the front yard shop to watch the fun.

In the front yard luggage store, there are now a group of pursing girls on the street on the front side. They sing and dancing, which attracts passers-by to stop. Ling Fei took a moment of hand and turned his head to find that the master was standing in front of the neighbor's tofu shop. In the luggage store, the only one who went out to greet the pursing girls was the shopkeeper of the luggage store. Ling Fei was stunned for a moment, quickly walked over, pretended to be an apprentice, and quietly stood behind the master.

Shi Chuan ignored Ling Fei and looked up at the scenery. When the sing of Hu, a charming voice came from the tofu shop. As he finished speaking, a charming girl came out of the store. The girl was combed in the widow's bun and held a good small golden silk fan in her hand. In this slightly cold weather in spring, the widow was full of charm and fanned the fan with graceful posture, and said sweetly: "Dalang, I think you have a lot of money. Which store in Haizhou City is like you, let Hu's singing girl sing and dance in front of the door every now and then."

As he spoke, the widow's hand gently hit Shi Tong's shoulder, Shi Tong shook his head slightly, and the widow retracted his hand like an electric shock, looking at Shi Tong with a smile. The latter glanced at the widow disapproved and replied in a faint tone: "You don't understand this, this is called corporate image."

Our family sells luxury goods and fashion-leading things, so we must attract attention - Tofu Xishi, what is eye-catching economy? Do you know?... I don’t know, I won’t tell you because I can’t explain this to you clearly.”

Tofu Xishi snorted with disdain, leaned her body against the door, twisted it into an S-shaped shape, and then said with a charming smile: "Dalang, I haven't seen you as careful in my tofu shop. It's not yours, so I don't feel sorry for you."

Tofu Xishi's words were soft and soft, making Ling Fei itchy, but Shi Chuan's attitude immediately followed, which made Ling Fei sigh at the master's heartlessness. Shi Chuan answered unmovedly about Tofu Xishi's spoiled behavior: "Haha, that's natural... However, your tofu shop is famous now. Are you not satisfied? Haizhou Li Sanniang Tofu has become a famous food in Haizhou in a year. You can't even count the money now, so why do I feel sorry for me?"

The atmosphere was a little stiff, Ling Fei quickly stepped forward to interrupt, and he bowed and said, "Master, I have already sent my greetings to Aunt Ma's place. On the way back, I also went to Miss Chu's house - it was as the master guessed."

Shi Chuan turned to Tofu Xishi and asked, "Do you already know that Miss Chu Suzhen is married?"

Tofu Xishi sighed, with a pitiful expression on her face: "What a pity, the most talented woman in Haizhou City actually married so coldly. Sure enough, what the ancients said was right, a woman without talent is virtue."

As soon as Tofu Xishi finished speaking, Shi Chuan twisted his body and walked into the tofu shop. Tofu Xishi didn't move. She looked at Shi Chu's back and giggled crisply: "Miss Chu got married that day and didn't know how many talented men in Haizhou were hurt. Fortunately, at this time, the famous talented men in Haizhou City went to the capital. The remaining cats and dogs were just guys who couldn't pass the imperial examination and were ashamed of themselves.

Dalang, what are you sad about? Generally speaking, women are going to marry sooner or later? Only you know whether they marry well or not. After all, Luo Juren was also a talented man in Haizhou. Now he has a Juren. Who knows whether he can join the cabinet and become a prime minister in the future?

People in Tonghaizhou City don’t think it’s a good match for this marriage, but Miss Chu is sad about spring and autumn. But how can you know that Miss Chu is not pretending to be a pretentious person, but will be proud of her husband in the future?”

After moving for a while, Tofu Xishi urged Ling Fei: "You stupid apprentice taught by the stupid master, don't you follow me yet - my backyard leads to your master's small workshop. He is going to inspect his own workshop."

After scolding Ling Fei, Tofu Xishi shouted to the back of the shop: "I know, I know, you are sad and crying for Shi Yanei, but Shi Yanei married him first. How could Miss Chu not marry? Could it be that you men all expect women to be sad for you for the rest of their lives?"

Behind the door, deep in the courtyard, I sighed faintly when I came: "Marriage is like shoes. Only your feet know whether it is suitable."

Ling Fei entered the store and followed the master through the well room of Xiqianyuan and came to the backyard of Tofu Xishi. After several relocations, the rest were only some optional industries. Half of the workers in the workshop came from the embroidery workshop, mainly knitting various cufflinks; the other half was a pure salt extraction workshop, and half of the pure salt produced was sent to the Huang store as high-end tooth cleaning sand to be sold to the public, and the other half was sent to Cuizhuang as a salting material for making soap.

Now the yard has been handed over to the Huang family. After their close inspection, the people who came and went through their close inspections, and the products were only escorted by the Huang family at night. Now the people in Shicheng have left the specific production and only provided raw materials, formulas, processes, and were responsible for inspection afterwards - this is equivalent to modern authorized production. Therefore, although Shicheng is nominally the boss of this workshop, he basically does not know the people hired. All the employees were found by Huang family and were recognized by Huang family as trustworthy.

Since he didn't know him, Shi Chuan had nothing to say, just walked around with his hands behind his back - in fact, he hid here just to escape the long-lasting tofu Xishi... With the help of the secludedness here, Ling Fei followed up and quietly reported what he saw and heard. Shi Chuan thought about it and ordered: "Where is Ma's place, I will give you a few more silk and Jibeibu (cotton cloth). As for the money, I won't give it. You pack up your carriages and horses tomorrow, and we will go out of the city to visit Miss Chu in Baihu Mountain."

Ling Fei bowed and asked, "Do you want to bring some gifts?"

Shi Chuan seemed to remember something suddenly, and slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, I went to the capital this time. The three streets responsible for assisting defense in the city were confiscated for several months. You have also been a general and know how to collect money. When you have time now, you will collect the money from those three streets."

Shi Chuan took off his general's seal from his body and said casually: "I'm afraid you have no money in your pocket. After collecting all the money, you should pay attention to your expenses. Buy the rest as gifts."

Sure enough, I had meat to eat with the master.

Ling Fei bowed and reminded with a respectful attitude: "Master, I bring a lot of Haizhou specialties, which are fresh things. It's better to choose a little from them and let's save the money."

Shi Chuan laughed hoarsely: "You are not as good as me in being a general. You need to learn from me about the means of running the industry - the master is not short of money, and the protection fee for three streets is only thirty cents in three months. If my dozen girls in my family expect to marry them out of the small amount of money on the street, they will not be able to get enough dowry in this life.

You are here and asked you to go to the street to collect money. You are familiar with each shop. In the future, the master can assign you. As for giving the protection fee on the street to Miss Chu, there is also an explanation. Luo Wanging's mother, there is a money in the oil pan, she can take it away with the pot. If I make a fuse for her, the Luo family will be my bottomless pit in the future.

But I met Miss Chu and I, and I couldn’t say without her marriage. I don’t want the Luo family to know about other industries. It’s better to point out the street security fees as a gift. If the Luo family uses Miss Chu’s reasons to find trouble in the future, I can also refuse - do you understand?"

Marrying a daughter in the Song Dynasty was a bit similar to India. The daughter’s dowry was unbearable. When Ling Fei heard that his master had eighteen sisters to marry, he immediately felt like a bee squirting and said in empathy: “Eighteen… Master, it’s just a prince who even married two daughters and had to borrow money to buy a dowry. You actually wanted to marry eighteen girls… The master’s behavior is not to mention the past, but at least it was rare in the dynasty.”

Shi Chuan disagreed and calmly self-deprecating: "What you really want to say is: My stupidity is rare in the world, right? But you don't understand that concern. They are my inescapable destiny and a responsibility that I must fulfill. Only by shining them all can I restore freedom... Well, as an investment, you cannot just calculate the cost on the books, but also its marginal benefits..."

As he said that, Shi Chuan shook his head: "Forget it, I'll tell you all that, you don't understand. Just ask me for my words to do it."

The next day, when it was just dawn, Ling Fei, with the help of two black servants, set up a mule cart. After the preparations were done, Shi Chuan appeared for a moment. The group left Dongcheng and walked all the way to Baihu Mountain, which was the hometown of Lo Wangjing.

Because there is this Baihu Mountain outside the East City Gate, the people of Haizhou City have always believed that this is not a good omen - the Baihu is in the city, which is absolutely ominous in the "Book of Changes". The people of Haizhou City have always wanted to modify the name, but it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the local people got what they wished. However, after the name was changed, the people of Haizhou City did not benefit from it. Instead, Haizhou City fell from the world's six tea markets and one of the top 20 cities in the world in the Song Dynasty to a remote and unknown small fishing village.

At this time, Baihu Mountain had not changed its name, but for this reason, the farmer living with Baihu Mountain was embarrassed to say hello to others in Haizhou City, for fear that people would like to be disgusted by the fact that they came from Baihu Mountain. Not long ago, because the land price of Baihu Mountain was cheap, the Shi family of Jiaxing purchased a large amount of land here to build a village under the instigation of Shi Chu's journey. This trip was in the name of visiting the clan brothers, and asking about Miss Chu's updates was just a way.

Speaking of which, Shi Chuan should come to visit his clan brothers. During his trip to the capital, the Shi family in Jiaxing had already completed a scattered separation. As a local child in Haizhou, Shi Chuan came back from a trip and inspected his own property and immediately visited the brothers in the clan. This was not rude.

I got the news that Shi Chuan was coming early in the morning. The Shi family members of the Baihu Villa were waiting by the village. The Changfang Changzong was the son of Shihe, who was twelve years old, and the three concubines of Changfang were accompanied by the Changfang, who were young. The Shi concubines who were responsible for taking care of them here were not present. According to the clan rules at that time, they were not considered Shi Chuan's relatives, and they did not meet with each other.

Shi Can rushes to Shi Chuan from afar, and he is respectful: "Uncle is exhausted all the way, but my nephew is polite here."

Shi Chuan jumped out of the carriage and greeted: "Turn the carriage into the backyard and send someone to count the gifts on the carriage. Xiaocan, are you still used to living here?"
