Chapter 9 Daoming Liche (Happy Birthday Er Niu) (Repair)
Aunt Jin is said to be Auntie Jin, but in fact she is only in her thirties this year. After all, when Aunt Gongsun bought these three-Han female slaves, they were all just a bunch of little girls. But then again, people still looked at Gongsun Xun no matter what.
Growing up, it was always okay for Gongsun Xun to call him aunt, and the relationship between the two parties was always harmonious.
"Why are Ah Xun here?" Seeing Gongsun Xun coming, Aunt Jin in the backyard was naturally very happy: "I just came back. I should wash my noodles first and then eat, but what's the matter?"
"Some little things." Gongsun Xun sat down on a small bench - this was another 'invention' of Gongsun's wife, but it couldn't be used outside due to etiquette. He replied with a smile. "Can you please bring some money and things?"
, I will buy a small property in Luoyang City tomorrow, and I will also make friends with Sergeant Luo..."
"It doesn't matter." Aunt Jin heard the words and said indifferently. "When I came here, my mistress told me that anything that would help you become famous, Ah Xun, such as hanging out with the scholars in Luozhong...and the limits on money.
Always let go."
Gongsun Xun nodded, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but the words suddenly turned around: "I haven't talked to my aunt for a long time. I'm eating here today and chatting casually."
"Ah Xun, just don't mind me being verbose." Aunt Jin laughed, and then immediately got up and ordered the little girl to fetch water, lay out the table and so on.
After cleaning up, the two of them sat down. Naturally, a little girl came across the meal. Gongsun Xun looked down and couldn't help but laugh: "It's actually chicken soup?"
"Why, it doesn't suit your taste?" Aunt Jin was slightly startled. "I remember that you like chicken very much. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the kitchen to bring something else up. A kitchen with hundreds of people can't just make chicken soup."
"That's not it." Gongsun Xun stared at the chicken in front of him and shook his head with a smile. "I just suddenly remembered an old thing from my childhood..."
"What old story?" Aunt Jin was really curious.
"It's too far back in time, so I'm not sure." Gongsun Xun said as he used chopsticks to tear open the stewed chicken. "I said it, and my aunt helped me think about it... I vaguely remember that it was me on May 6th.
When I was 18 years old, I had a meal around the Chinese New Year. While I was eating, I suddenly wanted to eat chicken, but all the chicken on the Kang table had been eaten. Fortunately, there were many chopped into pieces at home, pickled, and tied to the eaves.
There was frozen chicken, so my mother asked Aunt Li San to go outside and get some frozen chicken pieces to cook for me..."
"I remember!" Before the other party finished speaking, Aunt Jin laughed. "You remember correctly, this happened, but it was not your Aunt Li San who cooked the meat, it was me! Logically speaking, frozen meat should be
First use warm water to boil, and then you can cook it. But weren’t we eating that day, and our group of girls were eating the most, so I was afraid that those people would snatch up all the delicious food for me, so I was lazy.
I directly put the whole piece of frozen chicken into the cauldron, lit the fire and came back. Finally, when the hot chicken soup was served, many pieces of meat on the outside were cooked, but the inside was still frozen and hard, and it was impossible to break it apart.
…The mistress was so angry that she didn’t allow me to eat, and she was so anxious that I cried alone next to her.”
"So this really happened?" Gongsun Xun also laughed. "I thought I remembered it wrong... It's just that auntie, I don't know how to cook, but this frozen chicken, can you tell me how many times to rinse it with warm water?
It can melt, but why is it boiled in a cauldron until the water is boiling and the meat on the outside is cooked, but there are still ice lumps on the inside?"
"How do I understand this?" Aunt Jin shook her head and said with a smile. "When I was a child, I did some menial work, but within two years, our family's business has grown. Even I don't have to cook by myself, and now I just know how to settle accounts.
."
"I do have some ideas, I don't know if they are right or not." Gongsun Xun lowered his head and said. "Look... In fact, when it comes to melting ice, the effectiveness of warm water and boiling water may not be much different. After all, they are both much hotter than ice. But.
, From our human point of view, warm water is acceptable, but boiling water is beyond the limit, so it is inevitable to overestimate the effectiveness of boiling water and underestimate the capabilities of warm water."
"The truth is right!" Aunt Jin thought for a while and nodded repeatedly. "Young Master is worthy of being the only son of the mistress. He is so smart... But Ah Xun, do you have something to say to me?"
"Yes." Gongsun Xun replied seriously. "I know that before I came here, my mother had an explanation with my aunt, saying that if I make friends with big people in Luoyang, no matter how much money I spend, I will definitely have to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
No excessive luxury or restrictions are allowed.”
"Indeed."
"To be honest, Auntie, I want to do something that will cost a lot of money, but I think this is also a way to make friends with people, so I told you about that old thing first."
"Ah Xun, you might as well come and listen. As long as it really meets the requirements of the mistress, I will not limit the money no matter how much it is."
"It's like this. Look, Auntie, the official road at the foot of Fengshi Mountain is the choke point in the southeast of Luoyang. The flow of people and vehicles is really constant, but there is only one pavilion and post here, so every time
Providing food and accommodation to those with the highest official positions, but shutting out many people. Therefore, I want to buy the restaurant opposite and the nearby vacant land together, and build a large charity house here, regardless of status, regardless of status.
Born, provided with food and lodging.”
"Those who are willing to stay at the charity house..." Aunt Jin raised her head and thought. "Officials can stay at the inn. People with good reputations can find people to stay in Goushi County at will. Even those with some money can spend money to stay at the inn.
There are many families nearby, so most of the people who can live in this charity house are children from poor families."
"Most of them are motivated children from poor families." Gongsun Xun corrected. "It is not allowed to go out these days. It is even more difficult for poor families to go out, but they still have to travel hard, either to study, or have important things to do, and maybe some other things.
Desperate man... Actually, Brother Yi Gong said that he was not very happy staying in Luoyang, and I am planning to place him here to recruit my followers."
"According to the mistress's business strategy, your name, Ah Xun, must be revealed for this kind of thing." Aunt Jin continued to add. "Otherwise, how can we spread our reputation and make those poor people who pass by feel grateful?"
"This is natural." Gongsun Xun nodded repeatedly. "Does Auntie agree?"
"No problem." Aunt Jin nodded. "Young master, what you said before is so clear, so why should I disagree? But please don't forget to write a letter back and explain the situation to your mistress."
"This is inevitable." Gongsun Xun immediately laughed. "To be honest with my aunt, I wrote a letter not only to tell you about this matter, but also to ask my mother to send more money... Not only do I want to show kindness to the poor people here,
, I am also planning to imitate the Eight Chefs of that party in Luoyang, and provide more help to those scholars who are from a good background but are short of money without expecting anything in return, and strive to become the 'Ninth Chef' among the scholars!"
Aunt Jin nodded again after hearing this, but she looked puzzled: "This kind of thing should have been done... It's just that Shaojun, these eight chefs have a great reputation. I have heard of them, but I don't know how many of them have spread out."
Did money buy you this reputation?”
"Eight people plus one dollar... about ten million dollars a year." Gongsun Xun gave the answer after thinking for a while.
Aunt Jin laughed again: "That person only makes a million dollars a year, which is just a thousand dollars... It is just the net profit of our horse selling business for a year, Shaojun, just go ahead and do it!"
How could it be so simple? Gongsun Xun shook his head secretly in his heart, but he just smiled and nodded.
"Du Shang, Zhang Miao, Wang Kao, Liu Ru, Hu Muban, Qin Zhou, Fan Xiang, and Wang Zhang are the "eight chefs". A cook is said to be someone who can save people with wealth. It is also said: "Eight Chefs"
Wealth, thousands of dollars." - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". Biography of Dang Guan
