Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Zheng, who was arranging the inspection, glanced at the crowded and noisy team that was divided into six teams for inspection, and immediately called a yamen servant and said: "You, take a gong and go into the city, go to the place where the inns and restaurants are gathered and shout. Let’s just say that nearly ten thousand people came to Beijing today, all of them 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 didn't know that Zhao Song was arriving today. He was having dinner with others in Zhenxiu Restaurant.

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

Yes, although he hadn't bought the Wang family's land yet, he still regarded the land as his own and hired someone to design it.

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

He is a Confucian scholar, and his conduct as a person... is difficult to describe in Zhao Hu's words.

He is tactful, but not tactful.

Say he is tactful because he is never proud of his family background. He is a humble and self-satisfied person who is polite to everyone; say he is tactful because he rarely talks. Even if he is asked about something, he often Do not express your own opinions and views.

Although Zhao Hu is Zhao Hanzhang's uncle, 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 was neither a playboy nor wanted anything from Zhao Hu, but he was very polite whenever he saw him, so Zhao Hu liked to drink with him occasionally.

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

"Did you decorate the garden at Jing Si's home by yourself?"

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

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

Pei Xian hesitated when he heard the words. He knew that someone had recently bought the burned house. Zhao Hanzhang had mentioned it to him and asked him to be careful when approving the construction of houses recently. The regulations for the houses built in that area should not be too low. 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 such a job, and it was very trivial. He felt that he liked the job in Taixue more. He especially wanted to quit his position as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and concentrate on being a doctor in Taixue.

But his wife didn't allow it.

Now Zhao Hu asked him to draw pictures again, but Pei Xian... didn't really want to draw them.

But because Zhao Hu was soft-spoken and sincere, and flattered him for a long time, Pei Xian finally couldn't help but agree.

When Zhao Hu was happy, he waved his hand to ask someone to come over and play music for the fun. Suddenly he heard a clanging sound below. He couldn't help but turned his head and looked down. He saw a government servant standing on the street holding a gong, desperately trying. Knocked, and then shouted loudly: "Nearly ten thousand business travelers from Yuzhou have entered the city today. Anyone who is interested can go to the city gate to solicit business. The county Lord has something to say. In business, you must be honest and do not cheat!"

He shouted twice, then walked away with the gong, went to the next street corner and knocked again.

After hearing this, Zhao Hu couldn't sit still anymore and didn't bother to call the actor. After telling Pei Xian, he immediately went out to find the shopkeeper and steward, "Hurry up and have someone steam rice and make noodles. Send someone to the city gate to have a look." , there are tens of thousands of people from Yuzhou, they must have followed our Zhao Jiajun, otherwise so many fat sheep would have been slaughtered several times on the road. Take your money immediately and go to the city gate to see if there are any familiar people. Look at the goods they brought, there are beautiful silks, cloths, and porcelain, buy them all at the right price."

Zhao Hu: “Remember, after agreeing on the price, give a deposit first and not complete the settlement first.”

Luoyang City is in short supply right now. As more and more people come in, goods, especially luxury goods, are simply not in supply.

Now Luoyang City has to snatch even a piece of fine linen, let alone such fine fabrics as silk and satin.

Thinking that the weather had started to turn cold, Zhao Hu said hurriedly: "There are also furs and felts. Pick up the important things and ask how many we want. Show off the spirit of our Zhao family and grab the things first." "

He can guarantee that after getting the goods, he can sell them quickly, and the funds will be withdrawn quickly and settled. He can make a lot of money by entering and exiting, and then he will buy land and build a house. After the construction is completed, he will sell it to them at a high price...

The more Zhao Hu thought about it, the happier he became, and his eyes seemed to be filled with brilliance, telling the stewards to act quickly.

Zhenxiu Tower is a combination of a high-end restaurant and an inn. Of course, he also has to consider the customers on the next level. By coincidence, Zhao Hu was tricked by Zhao Hanzhang two years ago and bought many shops. In addition to Zhenxiu Tower, he also has other An inn and restaurant.

He sent people to find the shopkeepers of those two houses, made preparations together, and then went to the city gate to solicit customers.

The owners and shopkeepers of other shops were not fools either. The government officials even shouted this. Although they wanted to wait in the shop reservedly, they could not sit still when they saw someone from the shop next door going to the city gate.

So the owners sent people to the city gate to attract customers, while they themselves sat in the shop and asked people to prepare 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 coming in, this rice will be consumed too much, and you really have to buy some more...

So the procurement was divided into two groups, one went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and the other went to buy rice, noodles and other items.

There are several streets in Luoyang dedicated to selling vegetables, distributed in all directions. This was specially arranged according to Zhao Hanzhang's wishes when Zhao Kuan became the magistrate of Luoyang County.

Just under the corner of the street, square grids are drawn. Except for a few meat stalls that are fixed stalls, the other stalls are all chosen by early arrivals.

Zhao Hanzhang issued an order that stalls selling vegetables and agricultural and sideline products do not charge stall fees and taxes. Therefore, people inside and outside Luoyang can sell them in the city as long as they have vegetables or chickens at home.

Meat stalls with fixed stalls only charge very low rents, but the requirements for meat stalls are strict and they need to ensure the quality of the meat. They must also regularly report to the county government the information they know about the meat and poultry breeding in each village and household.

These butchers need to walk around the streets and go to the mountains and countryside to buy meat and poultry. They know exactly how many chickens, pigs, and sheep their family raises, even more detailed than Li Zheng.

Zhao Kuan used this information to arrange the number of piglets and chicks sent to each village every year. Of course, these matters are now under Zhao Erlang's control.

Now that the weather is getting colder, there are fewer vegetables in the fields, but there are still many people carrying vegetables to the city to sell every day, but it is just as difficult to sell as ever. Seeing that the sun is getting higher, the vegetable farmers are trying to lower the price of vegetables to sell them. I saw many people coming in from the street. They immediately cheered up and started selling loudly, "Chinese cabbage, cabbage, fresh cabbage..."

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

The purchasing manager who came here didn't even look at it. He just clicked on it as he walked, "Weigh it, weigh it, I'll take it all..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came up quickly from behind and said, "I collected these mustard greens. How much does it cost per pound?"

The vegetable farmer quoted the price blankly, "Two cents per bundle."
