The yamen runners couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they heard Chen Daming in front of them say that he brought some meat soup and the best pork belly. They had been here for more than ten days without a good meal or a good tea. The
yamen runners, including the supervisors holding whips, looked at each other quickly and found that the current section of the river mouth project was already 60% completed. If they continued to work for a few more days, the work here would definitely be done. There was no need to rush. They rushed over excitedly.
"Brother Daming, you are indeed my good brother! Knowing that I like to eat pork belly, you are willing to spend so much money to buy me pork belly. You are so loyal to your brothers. Don't worry, no matter what problems you encounter in the future, you only need to go to the county town and say hello to me. I will definitely help you solve the problem..."
Hearing the familiar yamen runner in front of him talking enthusiastically and saying a lot of speechless words, Chen Daming smiled stiffly a few times and personally brought him two warm cakes.
Then, under the envious eyes of everyone, he scooped a bowl of meat soup for him. He returned it to her home and personally picked up two large pieces of braised pork.
As soon as the red-roasted pork was taken out, everyone's expression changed immediately. Because they had never smelled such a fragrant aroma before.
It turned out that the legendary red-roasted pork that cost one or two silver coins a bowl actually looked like this.
The red-roasted pork looked so beautiful!
Moreover, it was not just beautiful, but very beautiful. In
fact, most of them had never eaten red-roasted pork.
In fact, they rarely ate meat.
Only during festivals, especially during the New Year, would they, the yamen runners, be willing to spend some money to buy themselves 10 to 20 kilograms of meat so that the whole family could taste the meat.
Seeing that Chen Daming was really generous and there was no reluctance on his face, the embarrassed yamen runners couldn't help but urge him.
"Brother Daming, bring me two hot cakes! You are such a down-to-earth person. I have lived to this age, and I have never seen anyone as down-to-earth as you. Look at this big cake, it is made of fine white flour. If you look closely, there are delicate patterns on it, sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, it smells especially fragrant."
"..."
Some people are really good at eating.
Just listening to him, everyone present began to drool instinctively.
After Chen Daming gave two big bags to those familiar yamen runners, he took one for himself.
I talked a lot with these people, and they finished eating while I was talking.
After they finished eating, Chen Daming smiled and said to them, "My brother-in-law and his father are both thrifty people. I don't know how many days they haven't eaten. I still have some leftover soup and a piece of pork belly. I want to send it to them..."
Those yamen runners were full and lazy. They wanted to take a nap at this time. When they heard this, they were very reasonable.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. Then you go quickly!"
"Let them finish eating earlier, so that we can urge them to work..."
After achieving his goal, Chen Daming was still a little happy in his heart.
So, under the envious eyes of many workers, Chen Daming asked Gu Yu'an and Gu Yanzhang, both father and son, to come over.
He gave them a bowl of steaming hot meat soup, and gave them two large cakes with a lot of chili and salt. Finally, he gave them both pork belly.
Gu Yu'an and Gu Yanzhang also knew that time could not be wasted, so they ate very quickly.
When those yamen runners had rested and climbed up from the ground, Chen Daming stuffed a small bag of meat buns into the chests of the father and son.
There were not many meat buns, in fact, there were only 5 in them.
After asking them to hide them carefully, Chen Daming used the last bit of time to hand over the things that some people asked him to bring to other people.
"Come, come, you have to take this thing quickly. Your father personally watched me and asked me to hand it to you personally."
"Don't dawdle, you camel, come here quickly. This is two pounds of fried white flour made in the fields by your mother because she was worried about you! This thing still needs to be rinsed with hot water. When you rest at night, boil hot water for yourself to rinse it. Don't get sick, don't let your mother worry..."
...
After dealing with all the things that needed to be dealt with, Chen Daming reluctantly sat on the ox cart and returned to his village.
As soon as he returned to his village, he returned all the things that should be returned and brought back all the messages that should be taken. Chen Daming hurried to his third sister's place.
As soon as he found Chen Xuanxuan, he couldn't help but tell her about his business plan.
"Third sister, I suddenly thought of something. You said that for people like us, can we do some small business on the side?"
"I plan to bring some things over and sell them directly there. Even if those people who are doing labor service don't have money to give me at that time, I can ask them for money after they return home safely. After all, what I do will benefit them and have no disadvantages..." When
Chen Xuanxuan heard Chen Daming say this, Chen Xuanxuan smiled and asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"You and I are not rich. Brother, with your current price, you can't afford a ox cart no matter what. When you travel, you have to borrow a cart from others, and it costs more than 100 coins for a round trip. If you want to do some small business, it's really not easy..."
"..."
Chen Daming tried to hold back after hearing this, but finally couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Third sister, our family has already bought an ox cart. We bought it ten days ago."
Ever since the third sister came to him every few days and asked him to help sell some small things, Chen Daming felt that he was making money very quickly.
Because every time Chen Xuanxuan asked him to sell something, it was high-quality goods. It was also something that had never been available in this place.
Therefore, Chen Daming really made a lot of money recently.
He started to count the accounts half a month ago.
He felt that he had made a full three taels of silver in less than a month!
Three taels of silver, that's three taels of silver!
You know, even if there is a big family of more than 20 young laborers in the village, and they farm 20 to 30 mu of land a year, the money they earn all year round is less than three taels of silver!
Thinking that the business he does for one month is equivalent to the work of more than 20 people working in the fields for a year, Chen Daming looks at Chen Xuanxuan as if he is looking at the God
of Wealth. Haha, think about it carefully, the third sister is really the God of Wealth who makes him rich!
