Yu Huishou once witnessed with his own eyes Zhang Shou and Ah Liu, the master and servant, eating a normal diet for six people in his shop. But today, when others see that he is not tall, not strong, he does not look very impressive.
The young man swept the plates on the table thoroughly like a storm, and while he was dumbfounded, Yu Huishou, who looked like a reed stick, had a calm face.
Not only others, but also Weinan Bo Zhang Kang and Liu Zhiyuan stared at Ah Liu with eyes full of surprise. As for Lu Sanlang, he was used to Ah Liu remaining calm no matter what happened. In addition,
There was a precedent for Zhu Er being fooled around. Not only did he remain calm, but he also asked diligently: "Brother Six, how do these dishes taste?"
Ah Liu glanced at Lu Sanlang with some confusion, and then asked: "Will those who can participate in the imperial chef selection not taste good?"
Everyone who is qualified to occupy a place on the second floor was just surprised by the young man's ferocious eating appearance, but now when they heard this simple but unsophisticated comment, everyone suddenly grinned with pride - they thought this boy was hungry.
Dead ghosts can't taste the taste of reincarnation, but I didn't expect that their mouths are still very clever.
Lu Sanlang, on the other hand, never expected that Ah Liu would give such a flattering answer. If he hadn't known that the young man always said one thing and another, he would have thought that people would suddenly become smart and changeable. But there was no such thing.
Question, such an answer would help him continue his work, so he immediately gave Ah Liu a thumbs up with a smile.
"Sixth brother has such a good taste! If you say yes, it must be good. You are the most meticulous in what you say and do. Otherwise, why would the emperor appoint you to teach Zhu Erlang who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets?"
He calmly put a pat on Ah Liu's face, and when he saw the eyes from all directions looking at Ah Liu in a condescending manner, he suddenly became a little more awed. He smiled secretly, thinking that with your level, you are not complacent enough in front of others.
capital!
Ah Liu saw Lu Sanlang's intention and couldn't help but frowned. He didn't like such a high hat. But following Lu Sanlang's next sentence, all his dissatisfaction was completely dispelled. As for Lu Sanlang,
What did he say in a serious manner? In fact, it was very simple. He just looked at him very sincerely and said: "I have always believed that a man who can eat and fight is a good man."
Zhang Shou was sitting there, seeing Lu Sanlang playing tricks on Ah Liu, he couldn't help but smile. When he saw the snacks in the hands of little peanuts, it seemed that they were no longer the original paper bags of Huangqiao sesame cakes. They were obviously sent by the people below.
When they came up, they very considerately prepared something else for him. At this moment, his mouth was still stained with chopped green onion, but his eyes were not fixed on the stage. He couldn't help but shake his head.
Compared with Zhang Shou's relaxed and freehand mood, Liu Zhiyuan was staring closely at the bustling crowd downstairs. When he saw a familiar figure arriving at the door of the teahouse but being stopped, he couldn't help but stood up impatiently. Zhang on the side was standing up impatiently.
Kang was aware of it immediately and gave a low order to the waiter beside him.
The waiter hurried down, and after a while, he came up with the person who was stopped at the door. Liu Zhiyuan finally came to his senses. After nodding his thanks to Zhang Kang, he beckoned the person in front of him and asked directly: "Down here
How is the situation?"
"Master, there are a total of thirteen booths in various guild halls. Each booth has at least one chef and as many as two or three. There are already twenty or thirty people queuing in front of the booths with more people, and at least one with less people.
There are seven or eight people watching the fun, plus those nearby who are watching the opera. I counted roughly and found that there are at least four to five hundred people around, and people are still coming here."
Liu Zhiyuan nodded slightly. Without making too much noise in advance, such a flow of people is normal. After all, this is a relatively remote area even in the outer city, and there are many idle people in the capital.
Most people still have to work to make ends meet, so how can they all come to watch the fun?
However, when Lu Sanlang, who had just acted with Ah Liuyi for a while, returned to his seat, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers outside the window. After a while, someone came up the stairs again.
But this time, Zhang Shou recognized it at a glance. This was clearly a supervisor he assigned to help Lu Sanlang. There was still a suspicious oil stain on the man's mouth at this time. He probably had just eaten it not long ago. He even spoke first when he opened his mouth.
I burped loudly, and then a strong smell of green onions came out.
He realized his mistake in a moment and hurriedly shut his mouth. Then he realized that he couldn't speak like this. He could only cover his mouth with his hands, and then whispered: "A few of us followed the instructions of Chief Lu and were nearby.
The number of people entering and exiting is calculated at fixed points at several street intersections. At the first street intersection north of Xinglong Tea House, the number of people who entered within an hour was 71, and the number of people who left was two."
"At the first street intersection on the east, the number of people who entered within one hour was sixty-two, and the number of people who left was three. At the first street on the west, the number of people who entered within one hour was forty-eight, and the number of people who left was five.
…”
"By the way, among the people who left, we didn't count the people who followed the few volunteers who took action to escort the Flower Party to the parade. There were seventeen people in total."
Listening to the Jiuzhangtang Supervisor reported the numbers one by one very fluently, and extended from the first street intersection of southeast, northwest, to the second street intersection of southeast, northwest, Liu Zhiyuan, who had only asked his followers to observe the flow of people before
Suddenly he took a breath secretly, and Weinanbo Zhang Kang couldn't help but look at Lu Sanlang who was listening intently in surprise, and then glanced at Zhang Shou.
Zhang Shou saw that many leaders and businessmen at Zhang Fang's table around him were eavesdropping, so he smiled and explained to Zhang Kang and Liu Zhiyuan: "This is a very simple way of counting heads. It can roughly calculate an activity."
The flow of people attracted, especially for remote areas in the outer city where not many people pass by, this method of calculating the number of people entering and leaving is very intuitive."
"Of course, if we are more accurate, we can also calculate the proportion of men and women among these people, whether they are shopping or not, and the length of stay, but that requires too many manpower. So now, we just send people to simply calculate the people at surrounding intersections.
Traffic situation, use this as a reference. Of course, this is a very simple task, and I, the supervisor of Jiuzhang Hall, should not need to do it anymore."
At this moment, Fourth Master Hua stood up first without even thinking: "For such a simple matter, our Suzhou Guild Hall is willing to help..."
Before he could finish his words, the head of the Shandong Guild Hall, Lu Hui, immediately quit: "Isn't it just a few people? Our Shandong Guild Hall has as many as we need..."
Seeing that Lu Sanlang was about to turn into the same situation as when he was in the Yangzhou Guild Hall last time, he quickly stood up and comforted him: "Everyone, this kind of thing is actually boring and easy to make mistakes. If you are willing to do it, then of course you can do it again."
That's great. And if you have extra manpower, you can actually do one more thing, and that is to count the flow of people in your booth."
The little fat man had already been reminded by Zhang Shou what the so-called big data was, and now he seemed confident.
"For example, each hour is a node, counting the number of onlookers at your booth, the number of food and beverages sold, and then recording them one by one and drawing them into a visual chart. Don't know what the visual chart means? Oops, this is what the teacher taught me back then.
It's for his favorite student Deng Xiaodai, but he followed Governor Xuan out, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn to tell you this..."
Although Lu Sanlang's explanation was somewhat arrogant to show off his knowledge, Zhang Shou knew that Liu Zhiyuan and Zhang Kang were gradually listening attentively, not to mention many businessmen who were eager to write down every word.
The little fat man's speech already has some practical significance.
Of course, in this era where management is not even standardized, talking about big data and data visualization is actually a bit nonsense, but even so, he also hopes to spread these things. It doesn’t matter whether people believe it or not. What’s important is
As long as this is done, arithmetic will have another symbolic meaning besides its accounting application.
So, while the little fat man was giving lessons non-stop, Zhang Shou said hello to Liu Zhiyuan and Zhang Kang, picked up the little Peanut who was fascinated by the movie, called Ah Liu, and quietly went downstairs.
He knew that someone must have noticed his departure - after all, he had already seen several people with blank faces who were just trying to listen to the little fat man's theories, including Fourth Master Hua who also looked at him distractedly, but he
He just pretended that he hadn't noticed and went his own way. When he walked out of the teahouse gate, he saw the three little guys waiting for him outside.
Even Xiao Cheng, who was reluctant to come out before, was very excited at this time, not to mention the oily Yang Hao and Zheng Dang. The two young men from the countryside pulled Xiao Cheng forward quickly, and Yang Hao first
He glanced at Ah Liu and then whispered: "Master, all the money has been used up."
This was an unsurprising answer from Zhang Shou. In a place where such delicacies gather, just asking for one or two hundred coins to eat for three people would definitely not be enough once you get excited about eating. What he was confused about was this.
It was not enough to count the money, and no one came upstairs to ask for more money.
The next moment, his doubts were answered. Because Yang Laoguan, the grandson, scratched his head and added in a low voice: "Later, the extra two hundred coins that Brother Six gave us were all spent."
Ah Liu's brows suddenly wrinkled, and his sharp gaze swept across the faces of the three little ones. Just when Zhang Shou muttered that this kid couldn't be stingy enough, he was almost made angry by what Ah Liu said.
His feet staggered.
"Why don't you go upstairs? It's free to eat upstairs!" Weinan Bo Zhang Kang and the little fat man from Lu are paying the bill!
Even Little Peanut, who always worshiped Ah Liu in every aspect, was completely dumbfounded when he heard the god-like words about eating upstairs for free. This was the first time he knew that Ah Liu was so money-obsessed.
However, what made him even more stupid was that the stupid Zheng Dangna on the side exclaimed as if he suddenly realized: "If I had known earlier, we would have taken Xiao Xiaozi upstairs to eat! The three of us ate at six restaurants!"
"That's enough!" Zhang Shou was very doubtful. If he hadn't just been comforted by Lu Sanlang's perfect performance upstairs and was in such a good mood, he would be so angry at these family treasures right now!
The only good thing is that Xiao Cheng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly changed the subject loudly: "Brother Zhang, just escorted the people who were filming the flower party to parade, someone has come back, saying that those guys were raped
After identifying them, they used the excuse of capturing escaped slaves, helping people find escaped wives, or picking up relatives to run rampant in the outer city. For two or three years, they abducted many people."
When Xiao Cheng said this, Yang Hao immediately realized what he should do, and he quickly followed up and said: "That's right, that's right, when the news came just now, there was a lot of commotion outside, especially when many people were eating and drinking.
I was satisfied, so I rushed over to watch the fun. On the market street, some people claimed that they had lost their children or other people, and they were so angry that they almost beat those guys to death!"
Hearing such words, Zhang Shou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then asked in a deep voice: "What happened next?"
If he really allowed the so-called suffering master to beat those traffickers to death, then he would have to have reservations about the working methods of elite soldiers like the emperor. But just as he was thinking this, he only heard Ah Liu say calmly:
"I gave them orders. It's OK for the flower-shooting gang to be beaten to vent their anger, but if they die, they will have to pay with their lives."
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Xiaohuahua Yunliwuli, who was the only one who didn't pay attention to that scene, couldn't help but be surprised. Zheng Dang couldn't even help shouting: "Brother Six, could it be that those flower-shooting parties are...
Did you let someone take it down?"
"Yes." Ah Liu answered with two words very calmly. Seeing Zhang Shou staring at him in surprise, obviously knowing that he had someone do it, he said confidently, "I just conquered the Iron Clothes Gang the day before yesterday.
, it’s natural for them to contribute.”
It's not appropriate for a lunatic to show up too often, so I let the lunatic lead people to raid the formation!
Although Ah Liu didn't finish what he said, Zhang Shou still roughly understood what it meant. He had no sympathy for those traffickers at all, but he felt that the Iron Clothes Gang with its awe-inspiring name had no sympathy for those traffickers.
The guy was a little pitiful. And when he expressed his desire to know the further follow-up, Ah Liu immediately puffed out his lips and let out a sharp whistle.
Almost in the blink of an eye, an inconspicuous little man appeared in front of him. He first glanced at Ah Liu cautiously, then nodded and said, "Those flower-shooting gangs are waiting on the market street.
,Although the public is furious, our Tieyi Gang also has a certain reputation in the outer city..."
Before he could finish what he said, Ah Liu interrupted harshly: "Tell me the important point."
The little man immediately shut up like a quail being pinched by the throat, and then said extremely obediently: "Brothers, according to the instructions of your old man, Sixth Brother, plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and the one in the urn... um, catch the turtle!"
Seeing Ah Liu wave his hand to drive people away, Zhang Shou looked at Ah Liu with eyes that were not surprised, but surprised. When had Ah Liu, who always looked so dull, learned the art of war? Under his gaze
, Ah Liu smiled enigmatically: "The madman said that as long as you don't speak and smile like this, others will make reasonable inferences and do things carefully."
At this moment, Zhang Shou simply couldn't laugh or cry. Of course, this principle is easy to understand, just like the emperor is inscrutable and the ministers try to figure out the holy will. But it turns out that the so-called luring the snake out of the hole and catching the turtle in the urn is not Ah Liu's plan at all, but the brains of the Tieyi Gang.
