Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 208 Borrowing Place

This is really a pillow brought by sleepiness. Zhao Hanzhang is very short of books now, and of course, he is even more lacking of craftsmen who can engrave and engrave.

Zhao Hanzhang: "The Luoyang rebels have retreated. Should we be able to buy books from the bookstore?"

"Luoyang was conquered by the rebel army before and was besieged by the Xiongnu army for many days. Many people in the city fled. Not to mention the bookstores, even the paper mills were closed many times. The craftsmen fled. Where can there be books sold?" Chenzhou proudly said He said: "With the current situation, my bookshop is the only one in Runan County that can print books."

Zhao Hanzhang said with admiration: "The Chen family is really powerful. I wonder how many books Mr. Chen can bring out now. Do you have a book list?"

Chen Zhou is not stupid. If he really gives the book list to Zhao Hanzhang, wouldn't it be obvious at a glance what engravings he has at home?

So he asked: "I wonder what book Miss Zhao wants?"

He smiled and said: "Even if I don't have the book you requested at home, I can still buy it for you from somewhere else."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while and then said: "I need some enlightenment and books about magic."

Chen Zhou was a little disappointed, but he came to Zhao's winter solstice banquet just to establish a relationship with Zhao. Although the progress was not as good as he thought, he finally established a relationship.

When it came to the price, Chen Zhou originally wanted to leave it to his men to negotiate. After all, it was really tacky for them to negotiate the price.

But Zhao Hanzhang directly mentioned the price of the book. Chen Zhou could only endure the embarrassment and continue to sit, but he couldn't help but look at the steward who brought him.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't even look at the steward. In addition to books, he also ordered a large amount of paper and pen and ink.

Their paper mill doesn't know when it will be able to produce paper, so they have to buy it before then.

She had had enough of the yamen shouting "out of paper" after a while, so she stocked up as much as she could.

So for such a large order, wouldn’t the Chen family consider making it cheaper?

Zhao Hanzhang didn't even bother to let them calculate the unit price one by one. He directly asked Chen Zhou to calculate the total amount, so that she could pay now and sign the contract.

Chen Zhou looked confused. He didn't even know the price of the books on the book list issued by Zhao Hanzhang. How could he give her a quote immediately?

But Zhao Hanzhang just sat there, waiting slowly for Chen Zhou, who said he didn't like the smell of copper, to make an offer.

Chen Zhou, who loves face by nature, said without thinking, "Miss Zhao, just give it to me."

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to look at him, but under Chang Ning's warning gaze, she still didn't dare to let go.

If you take benefits from others now, you will have to pay them back in the future.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't want to pay it back. She was very thick-skinned now, and she had so many people who were waiting for her to be fed. It would be better if she could save a little.

But Chang Ning didn't want her lord to be too shameless, so he kept looking at her.

After all, he was a staff member he valued, so Zhao Hanzhang could only offer Chen Zhou a fair price.

The steward sitting next to Chen Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

My husband is a bit stupid, but fortunately Zhao Sanniang is quite kind. Although the price he gave is a little worse, it is within the range they can afford.

Whether it was books or paper, pen and ink, they were all extremely valuable things. Zhao Hanzhang wanted so many things, so it cost a lot.

After spending such a large sum of money, Zhao Hanzhang wanted to make up for it, so he invited Chen Zhou to see Liuli at her home.

Chen Zhou looked at these glass products in surprise.

Zhao Hanzhang saw the surprise flashing in his eyes and said: "Copper coins are too tacky, how about we barter?"

Chen Zhou's eyes brightened. He ignored the obstruction from the steward next to him and said, "Is it a glass cup like this?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "I not only have glass cups and cups here, but also glass mirrors."

She had a full-length mirror brought over.

When Chen Zhou saw the full-length mirror of his height, his eyes widened for a moment. Even the steward was shocked and speechless.

Who among the scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties could refuse a mirror that could see their whole body?

At least Chen Zhou couldn't. It was difficult for even the manager to speak out against it.

When Zhao Hanzhang saw this, he understood and immediately asked Chang Ning to draft the deed.

The price of the full-length mirror was not low, so although the book was expensive, Zhao Hanzhang still exchanged it for two full-length mirrors and several sets of glass cups.

Well, not a penny was spent, and some glass was sold. Zhao Hanzhang said he was very happy.

"It seems that everyone prefers practical full-length mirrors to beautiful colored glass cups," Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "Go and ask Mr. Ji to send more full-length mirrors. All the colored glaze workshops are making full-length mirrors these days. "

Thinking of the guests coming to the Winter Solstice banquet, Zhao Hanzhang simply ran back to Wubao to ask Zhao Ming to borrow a place.

"All the children of the Zhao family can enter the garden for the banquet, why do you need to borrow it from me?"

“Mainly I wanted to do some setting up.”

Zhao Ming looked up at her warily, "What arrangements are you making?"

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to place glass products everywhere in the garden, such as glass bottles, glass horses and other handicrafts.

Then put full-length mirrors in some spacious pavilions and rest rooms for guests to arrange their clothes. Even the cups at the banquet can be replaced by glass cups.

Zhao Ming knew instantly what she wanted to do, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you short of money now?"

"Uncle, I support so many people, am I not short of money?" Zhao Hanzhang asked tentatively: "Uncle, can you help me?"

When he said this, Zhao Ming didn't quite believe her, but he didn't stop her from making money. He waved his hand and said, "You can arrange it if you want. However, our Zhao family is a noble family and we shouldn't be too obsessed with money to avoid contamination." Got the businessman spirit."

Zhao Hanzhang understands that he must maintain his integrity, she understands.

Zhao's winter solstice banquet seems to be a big event. On the day before the winter solstice, Zhao's Wubao was full of people, and even the inns in Xiping County were full of guests.

Ji Yuan personally escorted Buqu to deliver a batch of glazed products, which could be dismantled and placed in the garden.

What Zhao Hanzhang didn't expect was that Magistrate Chai County also came.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but ask: "Zhao's winter solstice banquet is so grand?"

Chang Ning said: "Of course, and not everyone can enter Zhao's Winter Solstice Banquet."

"Girl, don't think there are so many people here now, but most of them are just joining in the fun and are not qualified to participate in the banquet." Chang Ning said: "Magistrate Chai County has wanted to enter the Zhao family banquet for many years, but he has never had the chance. The girl gave him a gift The post is a great bond with him.”

Zhao Hanzhang thought thoughtfully, "No wonder Chenzhou has been hanging around in front of me for two days regardless of anything, and even gave me a precious inkstone."

If she hadn't been short of inkstones and not obsessed with this thing, she would have accepted it.

Ji Yuan came over. He was more familiar with this matter, and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Within Yuzhou, the Zhao family is the first. In previous years, the great and middle justices were all appointed by Master Lang, and all the small Zhongzhengs in Yuzhou were also appointed by Master Lang."
