Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Nine
County Magistrate He was confused. Zhang Yuanwai's wealthy family in the county usually took a lot of money from others, and it was unreasonable not to help at critical moments. But Wu Song is not easy to mess with. He only needs thousands of stakes of slashes, not to mention that this is a dispute and cannot be beaten to death with one stick.
County Magistrate He said: "Zhang Yuanwai, what Wu Dalang said is not unreasonable. He looks a bit ugly. Begging Pan Jinlian to Wu Song is a good thing. Now that the wedding letter has been completed, it is useless. It is better to say that this is not unhelpful. You, the maid, bought it at that time, and let Wu Song pay you ten times."
Mr. Zhang was almost crying. He took advantage of the danger and spent a tael of silver to buy Pan Jinlian. So what if he doubled it.
Pan Jinlian was holding all the Qiwu Dalang, and there was a clear word on it with one or two taels of silver.
Wu Dalang gave Wu Song a wink, and Wu Song said, "The Jinlian's body contract is one tael of silver. It has not been easy to raise Jinlian in recent years. It is equivalent to Jinlian's family. I will pay twenty times, and I will pay twenty taels of silver to Zhang Yuanwai."
As he said that, Wu Song took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Yuanwai. Zhang Yuanwai was angry and had no choice. Everyone in Qinghe County knew that Wu Song was a naughty green man, and Qingtou was stunned. It was not a big deal for him to kill and set fire. Zhang Yuanwai did not dare to offend Wu Song to death.
"Okay, let's get cleared and there will be no more contact." Zhang Yuanwai said.
County Magistrate He was very happy and said: "I am wise and powerful, and turned swords into jade and silk to mediate the dispute between Zhang Yuanwai and Wu Dalang. The county annals will record it and it will definitely be passed on as a good story in the future."
"Okay sir." said the clerk.
"Magnificent." He retreated.
Mr. Zhang left, and Wu Dalang, Wu Song and Pan Jinlian were leaving too.
The master came over and said, "Wudu Head, go slowly, sir, please tell me the conversation in the back hall."
Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian were waiting in front, and Wu Song followed the master to the back hall. He was quite particular about pavilions, towers, rockery, lotus ponds, and the style of Suzhou gardens. The Zhao official family liked flowers and stones, and the officials below rushed to follow suit, which affected the entire Song Dynasty.
Lord He changed his clothes and was waiting for Wu Song in the living room.
After the ceremony, County Magistrate He said, "Please sit down at Wudu."
Wu Song was not polite either. He had seen all the prefects, so why did he fear a small county magistrate?
Wu Song said: "Thank you to County Magistrate He for your business today."
County Magistrate He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this matter is just Zhang Yuanwai's fighting spirit. It's good for everyone to reconcile."
County Magistrate He was obviously asking for something to do with him, but he refused to talk directly. After chatting for a while, he said: "Since Wu Dutou is working in Cangzhou, he can know the owner of Chaizhuang in Chaijiazhuang."
Wu Song said: "I know you, I don't know what happened to you."
County Magistrate He said: "I am from Wuyishan. I have an older brother in my family who does business. I travel to Quanzhou to Dongping Prefecture all year round. I have a fancy to the soap and four-wheeled carriage in Chaijiazhuang. I want to talk about business but I am afraid that no one will recommend it, so I wrote to me."
Wu Song knew that Chai Lin's soap was made very big in four-wheeled carriages, but he was a military general and was not allowed to participate in the business. This is the rule.
Wu Song said: "Sir, I can only recommend Zhou Fu, the shopkeeper of Chaizhuang. As for whether the business can be negotiated, it is not decided by me, just me. Our prefect Su from Cangzhou Prefecture has to discuss matters with Chaizhuang."
"This is natural, Wu Dutou rest assured. Whether you succeed or not, you will thank you."
Wu Song said: "I wrote a letter and asked the shopkeeper to take it to Cangzhou Prefecture to find the shopkeeper Zhou Fuda, and let them have a specific interview."
Wu Song wrote a brief introduction letter and told the matter.
County Magistrate He received the letter with satisfaction and arranged for someone to return Wu Song's waist knife.
Wu Song stood up and said, "Sir, if nothing happens, I will go back first."
County Magistrate He said: "Wu Du is the first time to go back. Let me tell you to take care of Dalang more and not let someone bully him."
Wu Song said goodbye and left, very surprised. Unexpectedly, Brother Chai Lin had such great energy, and even a county magistrate had to curry favor with him when he heard about his reputation.
The group returned home and the whole family was very happy.
Wu Dalang sighed: "Erlang, you are really promising and have the ability. Are you very valuable to use a knife? Why does the county magistrate give face when he sees it?"
"This is the snowflake iron knife that my brother gave me personally, blowing the sharp blade, cutting gold and cutting iron, and not measuring it with money." Wu Song said.
Pan Jinlian went to the kitchen to cook. This Jinlian is not only beautiful, but also has a good cooking skills. She is proficient in frying, stir-frying, cooking and frying.
Wu Dalang pulled Wu Song to his room and opened his private money.
"I have been selling cakes early and late in the past few years, and I have accumulated seventy or eighty taels of silver. With the 100 taels of silver you gave me, I have nearly two hundred taels of silver here. If I can make good use of it, I might be able to make the business bigger. Does Erlang have any good ideas?" said Wu Dalang.
Wu Song didn't know how to operate, but my brother had to think about it. After thinking for a while, he slapped his head and said, "There are too many restaurants in Chaijiazhuang, and there are many big car shops, and the profit is very good. No matter what year and month, I always have the first priority in eating. I remember that I can make iron pots and stew big goose, stew one pot, and pair it with two pancakes. Most people can eat enough, so it's no problem to sell a portion of 7 or 8 cents."
Wu Dalang shook his head and said, "A big goose costs dozens or hundreds of cents, and a goose can make at most ten bowls. Isn't it going to be a loss for one bowl to sell for eight cents?"
"No, the big goose stewed with iron pot cannot be all goose meat. This requires me to study the combination. What vegetables are cheap and what vegetables can be matched with? Just have three or two pieces of goose meat in a bowl, just eat it. If you really make a bowl of goose meat, some people will still cause trouble after eating it with fire and sores on their backs. Therefore, the goose meat must be small, mainly vegetarian dishes." Wu Song said.
Wu Dalang suddenly got out of his mind and said, "If that's the case, a big goose can sell at least fifty bowls. I remember that our family still has more than ten acres of ponds in the village. I have been growing lotus roots for so many years. It's not a problem to hire someone from home to raise a thousand or eight hundred geese. If you are hungry, you can eat grass. Raise gooses and water can also raise fish, and lotus roots can also have a good harvest."
"What are you waiting for? We will go home tomorrow. But before I go home, I must buy some good clothes. The owner of the Chai Manor often says that only looking at clothes but not people, this is the world, and we can only adapt."
Dalang said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Dalang went out to buy two sets of silk clothes for himself. He looked like a rich man no matter how he wore it. When he wore a shiny gold ring on his finger, he was so arrogant.
Wu Song looked at it and said, "No, I almost waited at home."
When Pan Jinlian saw Wu Song going out, she said, "Official, take me to go shopping with you."
Wu Song said: "Okay, my wife will go with me."
Wu Song is really good. He is very fond of this wife. He went shopping and bought silk fabrics, rouge, powder, etc. for his wife.
After leaving the east gate of Qinghe City, there is a mule and horse market. It was afternoon and there were not many people.
Pan Jinlian asked: "Officials, what are we doing here?"
Wu Song said: "We will go back to Cangzhou in a few days. My brother is easily bullied in Qinghe County alone. I pack it for him so that he can go to the village to recruit some helpers."
"Okay." Variety Literature Variety
There are many plowing horses in the market, large and bulky, and there are many donkeys, but they are all short and not as tall as aconite donkey.
Suddenly I found a huge camel coming into my eyes. One advantage of the camel is that it lies on the ground and makes people ride on their backs. When it reaches the place, it lies down and makes people fall down. Moreover, it is very convenient and safe to ride between two hump peaks.
Wu Song tried it, this camel was so honest and docile.
The man selling camels said: "This is the first five-year-old camel. He ran through the Western Regions with the caravan and was not available this year, so he wanted to sell it for him. He sincerely asked for thirty-five taels of silver."
