Cheng Mo built a workshop and began to mass-produce bellows.
He wanted to enter the palace on duty, so he taught Elm the principle of the bellows and asked him to temporarily act as an overseer.
Greatly encouraged, Elm rushed to the workshop early every morning, ate and lived with the workers, inspected every part produced in detail, closed the workshop after dark, and the workers called it a day before he returned home.
The workers were also very curious about this new business, Cheng Mo's wages were high, and the workers were enthusiastic.
On this day, Cheng Mo came out of the palace, wanted to go back to the house to change his clothes, and then went to the workshop to see, but he didn't think that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, a person ran out of the gatehouse, hugged his leg on the horse, and said: "Master Hou" Caught off guard, Cheng Mo was startled.
The man hugged his leg tightly, his face rubbing against his leg.
When Kuroko and the other guards saw that he was being raided, they were shocked, and quickly surrounded the man, and the sword in his hand pointed at the man's vest, and shouted: "Who" The man was dressed in merchant clothes, with a wooden hairpin on his head, a burden on his back, and his clothes were covered with ash, making him look dusty.
The dog came out of the door and said, "Ah Lang, Shopkeeper Hua is back, and I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ” Kuroko motioned for the guards to remove their swords, and went over to pull the man's shoulder, but it was not the shopkeeper Hua.
His body was pulled away by the sunspot, and Cheng Mo was free, turned over and got off the horse.
Just now he felt that this person had no malicious intent, otherwise he would have let him hold him "Shopkeeper Hua is here, come into the house."
Cheng Mo said, threw the horsewhip to the sunspot, pulled up the shopkeeper Hua and left, and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare a few dishes, and I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the shopkeeper Hua." ” In order to promote the official hat chair, the shopkeeper has been running around for more than a year, which is not hard.
The dog answered, and hurriedly passed the word in.
The two sat down in the study, and the shopkeeper Hua was so happy that his eyes were red, and he said, "Congratulations to the owner, congratulations to the owner, he is already a liehou." ” When he left Beijing, Cheng Mo was just a small guard guard, but he didn't expect to be a liehou now.
What is a liehou, that is, a marquis who can be passed down from generation to generation, Cheng Mo is the Marquis of Yongchang, and the eldest son of each subsequent generation is the Marquis of Yongchang, which is a title that no number of nobles can look forward to, which is extremely enviable.
Cheng Mo saw that he was happy like this, his heart warmed slightly, and said, "Yes, in the future, you will have the confidence to walk around outside." ” He is a liege, and if anyone in the business circle dares to play the idea of an official hat chair, he must weigh it.
If it wasn't for the decline of the side branch, why bother to pull Zhang Qing into the gang and make official hat chairs together, although the two have a strong brotherhood, but there were some considerations for taking advantage of the situation at that time.
Shopkeeper Hua nodded again and again, and said, "The owner is right, none of us will be afraid in the future." ” Zhang Qing became a shareholder, and the owner himself was named the marquis, a difference of 108,000 miles.
Cheng Mo asked people to fetch water to let him wash his face, and then the two sat down and talked about the business of the official hat chair.
"We have opened stores in Fengming, Baling, Nanling, and Duling, and the business is not bad."
Shopkeeper Hua said and opened the baggage, took out a few account books, and said, "Master Hou, please take a look." ” These places are all in the vicinity of Chang'an, and in terms of administrative planning, they are under the control of Chang'an.
But because the traffic is not convenient, it is not easy to get around.
According to the plan, with Chang'an as the center, radiate to the surrounding areas, and then from the point to the surface, the business of official hat chairs will be done all over the country.
Cheng Mo nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ” Although it took more than a year to open a few stores, compared to modern times, the speed is too slow, but this era cannot be compared with modern times, a guy from an apprentice to be able to stand alone, it takes twenty or thirty years.
In just two or three years, it is a miracle that Yi'anju has such a scale.
The shopkeeper Hua said: "What the owner says, this is my business.
We came from the capital, and the local gentry were very popular. ” Of course, any new affairs, as long as they are passed from the capital, are all good.
When Cheng Mo looked at the account book, the cook had already prepared the dishes, and the little maid Changfeng came to ask for instructions on when to serve the dishes.
"Now let's go, warm a pot of good wine."
The weather is warm and cold, it is better to drink hot wine, besides, the shopkeeper Hua is old, and he is afraid that he will not be able to stand the cold wine.
Shopkeeper Hua got up and thanked him, and said, "How dare you share a table with Hou Ye and invite Hou Ye to reward Xiao Lao'er with two bowls of dishes, and let Xiao Lao'er dine in the ear room, which is already a great grace." ” Now he is a liege, the top nobleman, and he is forbidden in and out of the palace, and he has won the trust of the emperor, and it is enough to be envied by such a person.
Cheng Mo smiled: "You are running around for my business, I invite you to a meal, what is it?"
When he first made the official hat chair, the shopkeeper Hua followed him, and it was not the first time for the two to eat together, but they had a light meal together.
The shopkeeper thanked him repeatedly.
The dishes have been served like water.
Cheng Mo rarely instructed the cook to prepare meals in person, and the cook didn't know what distinguished guests had come, guessing that it might be the emperor who was coming, and he made dozens of dishes and set up two tables full of eight immortals.
Seeing so many dishes, Hua Chang was dumbfounded, how could he be virtuous, and he had this grace Cheng Mo was also very surprised, he just saw the appearance of the shopkeeper Hua hugging his legs and crying, and his heart softened, so he picked up the wind and washed the dust, why did the kitchen get so many dishes This is a big meal.
In front of the shopkeeper Hua, he naturally didn't ask, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten my food here for more than a year, do you remember the taste, sit down." ” The dishes are all served, and if you don't eat it, you will offend the owner, besides, how can he really push out the shopkeeper Hua to salute and thank you, dip his butt a little on the edge of the chair, and wait for Cheng Mo to pick up the chopsticks, and then pick up the chopsticks.
Cheng Mo saw him sitting like that, and said with a smile: "Don't think that I am the Hou Ye, you won't feel restrained, let go, hurry up and eat vegetables, so many dishes, don't eat too much waste." ” But you're the Hou Ye.
Shopkeeper Hua muttered in his heart and said, "No restraints. ” If the two hadn't known each other early, in front of him, how could he dare to sit unrestrained to have a ghost.
The shopkeeper muttered, looking at the flowers, only to feel dazzled, and I don't know where to get the chopsticks.
Cheng Mo saw that he was just watching, he didn't dare to put down his chopsticks, so he casually put vegetables in his bowl and said, "We have been guests and hosts for many years, so you are welcome." ” Shopkeeper Hua was so frightened that he dropped the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, and said with a wry smile: "It's really annoying to me, how can the little old man be worthy of Hou Ye Bucai" He's going to die.
Cheng Mo saw that he was uncomfortable, and sighed: "Don't keep thinking that I am the Hou Ye, you won't feel uncomfortable."
It's just a meal, can you make it like this?"
He ate with Liu Xun in the Xuanshu Palace, when would he be so trembling, if so, he would not eat this meal.
Shopkeeper Hua lowered his head and thought for a few breaths, and said with a smile: "What Master Hou said is true" In the past two or three years, he has followed Cheng Mo and seen a lot of the world, not the down-and-out businessman he used to be, the two of them get along with each other, and there is nothing that he can't let go. t1706231537:
