MTL - Great Tang Idyll-Chapter 41 Selling vegetables at the gate of the county
The dark clouds are dark, the snow is empty, and the wind blows the face.
In the first year of the Lunar New Year, the twenty-sixth lunar month, just after three days of the new year, the fourth snow in winter will float down. The snow is a little bigger than the previous ones, and the pieces fall down like confetti. .
The county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang is the busiest day, not only the things to do in Tuen Mun, but also help to sell cucumbers. The cucumbers that have accumulated more than 5,000 kilograms will be sold in these days. These are Song Jinggong these days. Shipped in succession.
In addition to these cucumbers to be sold, there are two hundred pounds left to the Chengxian order alone. As for who he gave it, it is not someone else.
By noon, Cheng Lingxiang wore the official uniform and took a handful of hands down to a warehouse in the county. The people in these tricks don’t know what the county magistrate wants to do now. Give it a call.
As the threshold of the warehouse was opened and dumb, many baskets of bamboo appeared in front of you. Cheng Lingxiang knew that this was the cucumber that was treated with some fresh-keeping methods. The old ones were more than ten days old. The fresh ones were shipped this morning. .
"Adult, you asked us to come over, just to see these baskets?" Zhang Mingsheng, a county magistrate in Sanshui County, asked the thoughts of other people.
Cheng Lingxiang shook his head mysteriously and pointed one of the baskets with one hand to "open the basket."
Naturally, someone came forward and carefully opened a basket in front of him. The one that appeared in front of him was a layer of cockroaches. Looking back at the county magistrate, under his gesture, he picked up this layer and suddenly screamed uncontrollably. One sound.
I saw that there was a thorny cucumber on the top of the raft, and I looked back at the snow that was still floating outside. This person felt that he had not made the wrong season, it was really winter, but the cucumber in front of him was not fake.
"Big, adults, cucumbers, these, these are cucumbers?" The man looked back at the county magistrate, stuttering a bit, and seemed to want to be affirmed from the mouth of the county magistrate.
"Well, it's cucumber, these are all, a total of more than 5,000 kilograms, the sky is auspicious, there is a Zhuang, and there is a new cucumber on the cucumber vine that should have died. The official has written it last night. The memorial will be sent out after the meeting."
This is the result of Cheng Lingxiang. When he saw cucumber for the first time, it was the same when he understood the season. It seems that his original surprise was not excessive, and others were the same.
Others in Tuen Mun also came forward to watch, one by one, wanting to touch by hand, and afraid to get rid of the thorns and flowers on the cucumber, they are deeply inhaled, to feel the taste brought by the cucumber.
The county squatted carefully by hand to hold the tail of a cucumber, lifted it to the front to take a closer look, and then sniffed the nose to the front and smelled it. Nodded, "Auspicious, it is indeed auspicious, but I don't know which Zhuangzi appeared."
"Which Zhuangzi, at this time, no hurry, you will know when you are, now you still help the official to carry the cucumber out, we go to the street to sell, a pound of 30 texts, buy up to five pounds at a time, want to buy again , line up to the back."
Cheng Xianling does not want to let others know the place of Zhangjiazhuang now, and there are some cucumbers that can be produced there. If someone goes to investigate now, it will kill all the cucumbers right away, but unfortunately.
At the moment, what I have to do is to help sell. Thirty texts and one pound are the price set by the high-ranking people there. When I said it right, people who have no money will not enjoy this thing. You are selling ten words and one pound, or No one is willing to buy, rich people do not care whether it is ten or thirty.
This is still the price of today, let some people buy it back and taste it. Today, only the first two kilograms are sold. If it is not sold out, tomorrow is fifty, the day after tomorrow is eighty, and the day after tomorrow is one hundred. The closer to the New Year, the higher the price.
"Adults, it seems that this is not good, we are all court officials, to sell vegetables, this will be impeached." County Yi heard that these people have to go to sell cucumbers in person, some face can not go, to persuade.
"How is it to sell vegetables? We are selling Xiangrui. I am going to take the name. I want to give that kind of energy to the weight of one dollar. I will lift the official two kilograms and move to the door of Tuen Mun. The official is going to preach the auspiciousness for the imperial court. ""
Cheng Lingxiang also thought about this point, and did not mention the sale of food.
"But adults, this price is also too expensive to sell." County magistrate is still a little hesitant.
Cheng Lingxiang glanced at him. "What is selling? It is said that you are selling, and the outside is not sold. It is sent and sent to Xiangrui. Those who pay for it are seeking auspiciousness. You can ask for 30 yuan."
Understand, other people have understood that the county magistrate has a beautiful hand, a reputation, and money, and the county magistrate has to admit that this is indeed a good excuse. He has sold his idea to sell again. Oh no, send the money above.
"Adult, I don't know what money I got after I sent it, how...? Is it right for that Zhuangzi?"
When Cheng Lingxiang heard the words of the county, he reflexively avoided a step. It seemed that he was afraid of being affected by the county. How dare he move the money? He is not afraid of the Zhuangzi. He is worried about the high man. This money will add up to several hundred. The people are still waiting for the New Year. It is really greedy, and the consequences...
At the thought of this, he took a look at the county and said: "This money must be given to the family, we are officials, just to promote the court's grace, with auspicious, and wait for the 30th day, everyone will follow me. Going out, Zhuangzi went to Renyi, and he took out the thousands of stone food and the guarana oil to let me wait for the poor people in the county.
"Adults, I will understand." The county magistrate is finally clear, the county magistrate has already said that with Zhuangzi, and then help the county to get auspicious, and give a chance to gain political achievements.
Something must have happened. The people in the door moved up. They moved the basket of cucumbers out and put them on the carriage that came out with them. A basket of about 50 pounds, a total of forty baskets, no need to be reminded, they Be careful and consciously, thirty words, a cucumber can change a few stone meters.
The snow outside didn't mean to stop. It was so cold that the four cars drove the cucumber back to the county gate. Someone took it and said it was ready to sell.
Everyone is not worried about not selling, not to look at the scary expensive, eating cucumber in the winter, but it is a single, rich people, and afraid to pay for it?
Only these people are thinking about cucumbers so expensive, if their family buys two pounds, then they are willing to eat, really want to eat.
"Well, the people on the Zhuangzi said, the officials and the officials in the county govern the people, work hard, and sold out on the day of the twelfth lunar month, each person can bring five pounds of cucumber home, the New Year, and taste fresh."
Cheng Lingxiang seems to know the thoughts of his men, and he said slowly at that time, and also lamented that Zhangjiazhuang will be a man. This was the time when he gave himself money, and this time again.
When everyone heard it, they were all happy. At the same time, they were amazed at the generosity of the Zhuangzi. The whole trick, adding up to a hundred people, sent so much directly, and later knew which Zhuangzi was. When there was something, it would help. I have to help.
Cheng Lingxiang looked at his expression with satisfaction and continued: "Tang Zhuangzi also said that there are not enough vegetables. Everyone will take three pounds of oil, five pounds of carrots. After the carrots go back, they must use oil to fry. For good health, don't eat with other radishes, and you can't drink."
Everyone nodded, and of course they knew the carrots and plain oil, especially how to eat carrots. People already said when they sold them. Drinking food is nothing, it is likely to get sick.
Similarly, the price of these two things is not cheap, especially the carrot, 20 cents a pound, sell a little to the restaurant every day, so it seems that this oil, cucumber, hot sauce, carrots should be from a family, Zhang Home Zhuangzi.
This time they all guessed it. Let’s take a look at the eyes of the magistrates and the benefits of this time. They all chose to forget. They are not stupid. I know that when this matter is passed out, Zhangjiazhuang will not It’s better, Zhuangzi is not good, they still want to want something in the future?
Cheng Xianling regretted the words after he finished speaking. People had already told me that the carrots and vegetarian oils were given to the last day. As a result, they did not hold back for a while. They all seemed to understand when they saw each other. They had to add:
"The people on Zhuangzi are not easy. I will send you things to you at the age of twenty-one, go home and let them have a taste of the family. If you have friends or family, you can also have a variety of dishes when you eat."
This is very clear. You can go home when you go home. You can’t say Zhuangzi to relatives and friends. Everyone naturally nods.
After processing these, a basket containing cucumbers was opened, and the servants in the Tuen Mun did not have to give orders. They directly yelled on 'Auspicious, I am going to Xiangrui, the cucumbers in winter, the folks are coming to see, 30 words and a pound can be Please come home. ’
I bought cucumbers in the winter at the entrance of the gate. This is a new thing. I just shouted out a scorpion, and I watched a lot of people watching it.

"Xiaobao, you put less ignition medicine, the power is too big, come over and help me to make a scorpion." In Zhangjiazhuangzi, Wang Hao and Zhang Xiaobao found a very remote room, and they were making firecrackers inside and pomegranate.
It was snowing outside, the sky was overcast, and the room was a bit dark, but there was no light in the light. The table stools in the house were all removed, and only the four walls and one flat land were empty.
There are cut pieces of paper on the ground, and there are some things like sulphur, saltpeter and charcoal mixed with powder. Pomegranate rolls a little more powder into the big paper. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Wei put these powders in there. In some narrow paper, wrap one outside and roll some powder.
Zhang Xiaobao helped Wang Hao to get a few pieces, and in the past he rolled up firecrackers. One of them rolled up a lot. He also loaded it in, and was pulled back by Wang Hao to continue to be a blind man. 2k novel reading network
