Chapter five hundred and ninth exposed feet

This year is another cold. In recent years, the winter of the Liao Dynasty has become colder and colder, but the end of the year is approaching. No matter what kind of weather is, it cannot affect the people's New Year. Even if they are cold, they have to go out to buy New Year's goods.

Zhang Mao was wearing a warm cotton coat and leather gloves and was huddling on the flatbed cart. Who would have thought that the governor of the outer court, the dignified Prime Minister, was sitting in such a simple cart? Even for ordinary wealthy families, the manager had a small cart with four walls, instead of a bare flatbed cart!

Fortunately, I was wearing a cotton coat from the Song people. This thing was light and warm. The wife at home chose the fabric she chose for a long time. It was so uncomfortable to keep the cold and close to her body. Especially the hat on her head, which could cover her two ears. Although it looked like a drooping dog ear, it couldn't hold back the warmth!

Not far away is Changfeng Business. This is a good place to buy New Year’s goods, but only high-ranking and wealthy people will buy things here. Ordinary people don’t have this blessing! The best black tea in the Song Dynasty can be enjoyed by ordinary people? The Qingquanbai in the Song Dynasty can be tasted by ordinary people?

When Zhang Mao thought of the rewards the master gave to his servants every year, he felt a lot of them this year. Although there were no smiles on the master's face recently, his wife Yu became pregnant again, so the master naturally became more and more generous...

Tightening the cotton coat on his body, Zhang Mao got off the carriage and walked towards Changfeng Business. Not only did there be tea and wine, but also all kinds of food from the Song Dynasty. His wife was greedy recently and wanted to eat the meat jerky from the Song Dynasty. Of course, she had to buy more, otherwise the master would definitely scold her for not doing anything when she returned.

Before Zhang Mao entered the store, Xiao Si, who was welcoming the customer, stepped forward with a warm smile: "Isn't this Manager Zhang? Come and buy New Year's goods for your mansion?"

Zhang Mao laughed and scolded: "You are so lively, and the big deal is coming!"

"Isn't it that you and Mr. Zhang's blessing? Otherwise, we'll have to drink the northwest wind! Just look at what you want to report the quantity, and the villain sent someone to deliver it to you. You must not transport it back in person!"

While flattering Zhang Mao, Xiao Si helped him take off the fur clothes covered outside. There were three large carbon basins in the Changfeng Business. The copper-top lid was burned red and exuded a whole warm feeling. The whole room was also as warm as spring.

While hanging up the clothes, Xiao Si handed over a bowl of black tea: "Try the black tea from Qimen, which is most suitable for drinking in winter, and it is very warm!"

Zhang Mao took a sip, and the warm tea slid down his throat and into his stomach and intestines, and a warm current spread throughout his body!

"Ha... it feels comfortable, just this kind of black tea, come with fifty kilograms!"

Xiao Si's eyes showed a glimmer of surprise and shouted loudly: "Fifty kilograms of black tea from Qimen, the Left Prime Minister's Mansion!"

As he said, the other customers immediately turned their eyes to Zhang Mao and whispered with envy. These people were all in charge of various governments, which made Zhang Mao's self-esteem feel the greatest satisfaction. He secretly praised Xiao Si for his ability to do things and could give two rewards later.

In fact, what Xiao Si did was to satisfy Zhang Mao. This not only created momentum for his black tea, but also allowed Zhang Mao to stop lowering the price. The unexpected gain was to reward money...

Zhang Mao was happy, so he naturally took action and turned around and asked Xiao Si: "Do you have the meat jerky from the Song Dynasty? My wife likes this kind of food in the Song Dynasty the most."

Xiao Si's eyes lit up and he patted his chest and said, "This is what you have come to the right place. The jerky in our Changfeng Business is the best in each family. Take a look!"

After saying that, Xiao Si led Zhang Mao to a small hall where all the food was placed from the Song Dynasty, including everything, ranging from dripping abalone snails to marinated bacon, not to mention the small jerky meat.

"Please look at Manager Zhang. These jerky meats are crystal clear. After removing the fishy smell, they are placed on the fruit wood and smoked for three days and three nights. You can taste the taste first!"

Zhang Mao pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. The slight smoky smell was filled with a hint of sweetness. The originally hard jerky became soft after a moment of putting it in his mouth, but it was chewy, and it was of top quality in both taste and taste!

"Hmm! Um?! Delicious! Just 20 kilograms of this one, and a little marinated bacon..."

Xiao Si said in embarrassment: "It's not that Xiao is reluctant to cure bacon, but the cured bacon is too salty and the wife is not good at eating it, let alone she is still pregnant, right?"

The price of cured bacon must be more expensive than jerky, but Xiao Si is willing to sell jerky but not to sell marinated bacon to himself. Zhang Mao unconsciously believed what he said: "Oh? There is also such a saying?!"

"Yes! The only thing the Great Song Dynasty doctor Wang said is wrong? Eating too much salt is harmful to the body but not beneficial!"

Zhang Mao nodded and said, "Since it was said by Doctor Wang, it must be correct. Then, let's get fifty kilograms of jerky. Just give ten kilograms of marinated bacon to satisfy others' desires."

Xiao Si nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! Please wait and see what else you want to buy. I will prepare something for you now."

Zhang Mao nodded and said, "Well, that's great."

Xiao Si went to tell others to prepare Zhang Mao’s things. When he came back, he wrapped some jerky in paper and said, “Manager Zhang, these are given. If you buy many stores, you will give you some food to pass the time.”

Xiao Si's enthusiasm made Zhang Mao feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also lamented that Song people can do business, and even Xiao Si's work is so comfortable.

I picked out a piece of jerky and put it in my mouth. I enjoyed it and tasted it carefully, but when I glanced at it, I saw something on the paper. I opened the jerky and saw it. It turned out to be a portrait. Zhang Mao also knew the person in the portrait. He was the unknown man valued by the master!

Zhang Mao asked Xiao Si strangely: "What is this?"

"Oh, this is the paper collected by our shopkeeper everywhere. If it is useless, it will be wrapped. It is definitely clean."

Xiao Si's tone was quite casual, so Zhang Mao didn't care: "Oh, I said yes, it would be not cost-effective if your business is wasting paper like this."

"Have you seen this person from your tone? That's a coincidence."

Zhang Mao laughed and scolded: "You guy is so weird."

Xiao Si smiled shyly and said, "I'm just curious about who the Prime Minister's Mansion is in contact with him. I'm not familiar with the place here and I'm so lazy and carefree. I don't feel like you are in contact with those nobles every day."

Zhang Mao sneered: "What a noble man? He is just an unknown man. This man's name is Sun Han, who lives in the corner between the outer city and the inner city. There are places where people who cannot be named can stay. Who usually goes there? A few days ago, I went to my prime minister's mansion and was fortunate to meet with him."

Xiao Si nodded repeatedly and said, "That's an irrelevant person, I'm afraid he's going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take the lead."

"Who said no? My master always sees big people. It is his blessing to be summoned by such a little person!"

Xiao Si smiled and said, "Old brother is right. This kid is lucky. You have a tea and the things have been prepared for you. It's not too late to roast the fire before leaving."

Zhang Mao shook his head and said, "That won't work. I still have to go to Rongsheng Business to buy some things that my wife told me. I dare not delay it. I will talk about it next time I come."

Xiao Si sent him to the door enthusiastically, which made Zhang Mao feel a little embarrassed. After he left, Xiao Si was still smiling at the door! It is worthy of being from the Southern Dynasty, and the etiquette is complete!

But when his carriage disappeared and handed over, Xiao Si's face immediately changed. He walked into the shopkeeper's room and said, "Shopkeeper, Manager Zhang from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion just recognized a person on Tuying!"

Manager Liu said anxiously: "Why did you show him the picture? Well, it's all covered up?"

Xiao Si nodded repeatedly: "It's covered up, Manager Zhang is not suspicious. He said that the man's name is Sun Han, and he lives at the corner between the outer city and the inner city."

"When did it happen?"

"A few days ago!"

"What?! Get ready for the car quickly, I'm going to Rishenglong now!"

After getting up, Manager Liu stood up and waved his hand slightly, "No hurry, you can post my post to Rishenglong first, and say I want to borrow 50,000 jin from Rishenglong."

"Fifty thousand guan!" Xiao Si was surprised and couldn't speak for a moment. The 50,000 guan was a long-term income. Now that the end of this year, how can I borrow money only if I pay back it?

Manager Liu frowned when he saw Xiao Si standing there and said, "You can go quickly, don't delay!"
