Zou Yipeng's words seemed to have caught He Jiaan's pigtail, and immediately got the approval of more people around him, and voices immediately began to agree.
The smile on He Jiaan's face grew stronger. From the very beginning, he had expected that these people would definitely not give in so easily. It seemed that if they didn't give them some real performances, they would definitely refuse to admit defeat.
Without even turning his head, He Jiaan shouted: "Tang Lin, bring the grill." Tang Lin who was behind him immediately went back into the house, and he carried out the grill that had been prepared before long, and went to As soon as he put it on the open space, he skillfully raised the fire to burn the charcoal. Taking advantage of the time when the charcoal fire was lit, he picked out the corn from the corn pile.
After cleaning up a few ears, put the corn on the grill and line it up.The moment Tang Lin put the corn on it, the corners of Tang Lin's mouth were already drooling. Before, because the corn was too scarce, he only ate it once, and that time he had firmly remembered the taste. In my heart, today
Tian finally had the opportunity to have a big meal, how could he let go of such a good opportunity.
When the charcoal fire finally came up, Tang Lin began to stir the corn, and dozens of eyes of the whole farm fell on him at this moment, looking at the corn that was gradually turning yellow, at this moment a scent suddenly penetrated in everyone's nose.
"What's this smell?" Someone already sniffed the smell in the air and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, of course it's the smell of roasted corn." While slowly turning the corn, Tang Lin raised his head and gave the speaker a disdainful look.
Grilled corn?
The man froze for a moment, and when he looked at the roasted corn again, he swallowed uncontrollably.It did take a lot of effort from roasting to ripening, but no one present showed any impatient behavior. After the corn was completely cooked, Tang Lin sprinkled the prepared seasoning on it and turned it over again. After the meeting, he handed the first ear of roasted corn to Sima Yuan, and said loudly, "Master, please taste it."
Chapter 665 Easy Victory
To be honest, the image of gnawing corn in front of everyone is not suitable for a bureaucrat like Sima Yuan. This kind of scene should appear on the streets of the market and alleys, where the old woman pushes a simple stove with half-baked corn on it. come to want
When the time comes, the corn can be roasted quickly, and then exchanged for a thin banknote, which can be stuffed into one's own pocket.
Of course, the precious banknotes of this era have been depreciated to nothing, and people may only know from their ancestors that there are banknotes that can replace silver in this world.Although he knew that his image was a bit indecent, Sima Yuan, who deliberately made an image of being friendly to the people, took the corn, blew it lightly, and then took a small bite. After chewing two bites in his mouth ,my own
The eyes lit up.I have to say that although they are all the same food, they are made in different ways, and the taste is indeed much worse. I can obviously feel that the taste of the roasted corn is stronger, and it is still delicious after chewing. some light
The mild spicy taste made Sima Yuan immediately think of the piece of dried meat that Xiangli gave him, which was covered with something called pepper.It wasn't until Sima Yuan recalled the smell that he noticed that the eyes of the people around him fell on him in unison, and he smiled and said: "The roasted corn is indeed delicious, how about it?" , Tang Lin
You also share some corn for everyone to taste. "
Now that the county magistrate had spoken, how could Tang Lin say no? There was a lot of dissatisfaction on his face, but he carefully picked off the corn kernels, ten kernels per person, no more and no less.
This shit is too bullying, so much corn to give myself ten grains, can't I afford it?
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the eyes of everyone, but Tang Lin didn't care so much, with an expression of love or not, it would be better if you didn't want it, and he could eat more.However, Tang Lin walked around in such a circle, and did not meet a single person who refused. They stretched out their hands and took the corn kernels. Constipation
There was a hint of surprise.Just now I thought that Sima Yuan exaggerated the taste of the roasted corn, but when I tasted it, I could immediately feel the delicious fragrance from the corn, and there was a hint of spiciness in it, which made people feel kind salivating feeling
, It's a pity that the ten grains of corn have been eaten up just after eating a taste, so there is no extra for myself to taste.
Finally someone came to Tang Lin's side, smiled and took out a small ingot of silver from his pocket, pointed to the corn roasting on the charcoal fire and said, "Little brother, can I buy an ear of corn?" He thought, Tang Lin would be a fool if he didn't sell it to him. How much is the corn worth?One mu of land can grow so much, and I can take such a large amount of money at once, let alone buy him an ear, I am afraid I will ask for a few more ears, he is also a
I will give it.
Not to mention, Tang Lin, who was seriously roasting corn, turned his head slightly and glanced at the money in the man's hand, then snorted coldly with disdain, and said contemptuously: "It's just a small amount of money for such a big employee. What about the beggars?" Hey, why is this chatter so unappealing? If there is no one around, it's fine. In front of so many respectable people in Qingjiangpu, you actually make yourself unable to step down. This person suddenly His face was flushed, and he stretched out his hand directly
He took out a two-two-weight ingot from his pocket, handed it forward, and hummed heavily: "It should work this time." After being with He Jiaan for a long time, Tang Lin also learned He Jiaan unconsciously. I didn't even raise my head, but when I stretched out my hand, I took out five taels of ingot from my sleeve, threw it away in my hand, and then put it away again.
go back.
The meaning is already very simple, do you want to eat corn?Five taels and one spike.The price seems to be too high, and even these wealthy employees felt a bit of heartache. The man looked at Tang Lin's roasted corn, and weighed the money in his hand distressedly. sigh, turn
back into the crowd.
It's just that Tang Lin didn't expect that his five taels of silver could block one person, but not the others. Isn't this the time to show off, and five taels of silver is nothing.
"Come, come, five taels of silver, little brother, give me one."
"Give me one too."
"And me." I'm afraid even Tang Lin didn't think that this group of people really belonged to the type of people who are stupid and have a lot of money. Come to a 25 two for one, then see you here
How arrogant are you gangsters?
But after thinking about it, the money he got had to be earned. Tang Lin secretly glanced at He Jiaan, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, so he excitedly accepted the money, and then handed over the roasted corn.
The barbecue racks are limited, and they can only roast six or seven ears at a time, but they were robbed in just a moment. Tang Lin immediately brought a few more ears of corn and put them on the grill, ready to continue selling them to these fools them.
At this moment, He Jia'an, who had been silent all this time, said with a smile: "I said, everyone, you have eaten and tasted it, and it's time for us to go on the scale. What's the matter, are you all afraid? "Five taels of silver per corn is expensive, but compared to the tens of thousands of taels of silver that everyone bet on, it is a drop in the bucket. Everyone originally wanted to take advantage of Tang Lin's opportunity to roast the corn and slowly put the corn in the pile. The land is getting less, but this just baked
After a long time, He Jiaan saw the flaw, and seeing that there was really no way to hide this time, everyone could only nod their heads, gritted their teeth and said, "Just listen to Mr. He, and weigh it." An ear of corn The skin was removed and thrown on the scale. As time went by, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more ugly. How did everyone expect that the corn was so heavy that three stones were weighed out in a short time?
It seems that the corn pile has not even been reduced by half. According to the calculation, let alone eight stones, I am afraid that more than ten stones are possible.Compared with these squires, the expression on Sima Yuan's face was extremely excited. He Jiaan was right. This corn is indeed a high-yield product. What would happen if the emperor knew that there is such a high-yield product in this world? delighted to
At that time, not only He Jia'an, but even himself will be rewarded. By then, he will surely get the fifth-rank magistrate.Finally, after all the corn was weighed, the weight stayed at ten stones and one bucket. Although this number was a little bit far from He Jiaan's imagination, it was enough to shock them. He Jiaan looked at it with satisfaction. write
These corns then smiled and said: "Everyone can see clearly that I should have won this bet. Do you have any opinions?" In the first army, when they thought about the money they were going to take out, everyone felt heartache for a while. After staying silently for a while, finally someone in the crowd said: "No objection, Mr. He has indeed won."
Chapter 666 Unmoved
Although not very willing, the facts are indeed in front of everyone, and He Jiaan cannot be won by sophistry alone. Besides, in front of Sima Yuan, how dare everyone continue to sophistry, it is better to admit it readily
If it fails, it will leave a good impression on Sima Yuan.
With one acknowledgment, even if some of the other people still want to persist, they can't continue to quibble, so they can only bite the bullet and agree, but start to mourn in silence for the thousands of taels of silver they lost.Compared with the thousands of taels of silver he lost, what Zou Yipeng cares about is the impact of the corn on his rice business. If this cheap and delicious food is on the market, it will definitely have a great impact on his business. Now He couldn't find any good solution. After hesitating again and again, he decided to focus on He Jia'an. As long as he could become the only seller in Qingjiangpu, in that case, not only would it not be good for his business. cause shock
, and will also make yourself a lot of money.
It's just that the only trouble with the matter is He Jiaan's body. Zou Yipeng secretly made up his mind to find someone to inquire about He Jiaan's preferences as soon as he goes back.
As for the bit of hatred between me and He Jiaan... as long as there is money, there is no problem that can't be solved.The main event is over, and Sima Yuan can naturally do the finishing work. In front of so many squires, I thanked the emperor for the generous gift. In summary, there is only one sentence, this corn can have such a high
The birth depends on the emperor's blessing.
It was about the emperor's question, how could anyone dare to say no, everyone nodded, as if they agreed with Sima Yuan's words.The corn sold by Tang Lin for five taels of silver per ear was finally taken back to his county government office by Sima Yuan, and he had already written the report of the good news. He only had to wait for the sweet potatoes to ripen ten days later Let He Jiaan be dragged to the capital together
Go, whether you can keep He Jiaan at that time depends on your ability, the emperor.The bustle is gone, and these people who have lost a large sum of money have no desire to stay any longer. They turned around and went back home, looking for a place to soothe their wounded hearts. When there are fewer and fewer people, there is a individual but never
With the intention of leaving, he looked at the few acres of cornfields left, thinking about how to persuade He Jiaan.Such an obvious goal, He Jia'an can see clearly, but He Jia'an can also guess Zou Yipeng's thoughts very closely, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to him, and asks others to harvest the corn of the other several mu of land
, Pulled directly back to the Chen Mansion, as for whether he grows or eats, it is up to his own heart.Standing next to the cornfield and pretending to be for a long time, Zou Yipeng didn't wait for He Jiaan to come over. In desperation, he could only turn his head and see He Jiaan was busy at the side. something
I want to talk to Mr. He, but I wonder if Mr. He has time? "
"No." Contrary to Zou Yipeng's expectation, He Jiaan simply shook his head, then pointed at so many busy people and said, "Can't you see how busy this place is? If you have anything to do, go home and talk about it later."
Come back home?
It will be too late by then, don't look at these few rice merchants who usually get together to drink, it doesn't involve their own fundamental interests, once these things are involved, the former friends will immediately become enemies.If I can't speak clearly here today, and get He Jiaan's promise, maybe someone has already gone to Chen's house by now, so Zou Yipeng didn't feel the slightest bit impatient when he heard He Jiaan's scolding, and said with a smile: "Then why?"
Young master is busy first, I can talk about my business later. "
What he said made He Jiaan feel a little embarrassed. He stood up and looked at Zou Yipeng, and said with a light smile, "Mr. Zou has something to say first. I'm sorry to keep you waiting." "It's okay." Zou Yipeng It's okay to say in the mouth, but there is no intention to stop in the mouth, and said cryptically: "Some things are confused in the next moment, I just hope that Mr. He will forgive me this time, and I will forgive you next time.
Tonight, I will prepare some fine wine at the Planting Flower House, and I hope Mr. He can appreciate it. "
