Chapter five hundred and sixteen [the truth of spending money]
Chunniang was in a good mood today. She had a prosperous business early in the morning. She had a successful visit before noon. The meat and wine in the store were sold out like a flowing water, as if she was not rich. Such a business doesn't have to last too long. She can earn another branch in just three or two months.
"The distinguished guest is here, and the answer is received!"
Cai Yingjiuying in front of the door sang Fei Nuo again, and her voice was bright and clear. Chunniang was slightly stunned and looked up at the store door. She saw three people walking in from the open curtain. At the front was a young and handsome young man, with a six or seven-year-old pink makeup next to her. The child jumped and looked around with his eyes, but his eyes were straight, and there was no thunder in his eyes. It was obviously the first time he went out and felt curious about everything.
Behind the young man and the child was a young man wearing a sword. He looked like a bodyguard from his family. His eyes were bright and bright. Maybe he was still a rascal swordsman. When he walked into the door, he looked at it and swept all the people in the store in a few glances. It was obvious that he was an old man with extremely rich experience.
Pure mother is actually not pure. Because she is a tough man, she found three widows in a row, and then became a widow three times in a row. In the end, no one dared to marry her. She opened this small shop for a living, built a seven-star stove, and cooked Sanjiang. She is an expert who smiled and looked at people and relied on her eyes to eat everywhere. She didn't have to look at it too much. Just take a quick look and you will know that the young people and children walking in front must be from wealthy families. The young people wear the best brocade silks in Shu, and the jade pendant hanging on the child's chest is even more valuable. Even if it is not a noble, it is also the gate of the great Shang Dynasty. This is the arrival of the God of Wealth.
"Oh, the distinguished guest is coming. What about the silence? Chunniang said why did you feel refreshed early in the morning and have a lot of business? It turned out that the great nobleman is coming. Please invite the private room upstairs?"
"teacher"
Ying Si looked at Bai Dong very much expectantly. This was the first time he left Liyang and came to another country. He was the most developed Weidu Daliang, who had a rich and cultural heritage in the world. It was even more so for the first time to come to a restaurant. He was looking forward to the appearance in the restaurant.
The Taifu once said that this time he would take him around the countries to increase his experience and thought that he would lay the foundation in the future. Ying Si didn't understand what the foundation is for the king, but he knew that it was a very wonderful thing to travel around. When he was in the palace, Gongbo Yingqian, who was in charge of his early enlightenment education, either asked him to kill the little white rabbit or let him recite the book day and night. After memorizing the Taifu's "The Jungle of Youth" by the Taifu, what else should he recite the Book of Songs, the Analects of Confucius, and the Mozi, and his head was three times bigger. This kind of life is not something that children should live! The Taifu is the best
Not only did he not let him entrust his letter, he was willing to take him out to play, but he also said that he would teach him to spend money and spend a lot of money. As the prince of Qin, Ying Si had certainly seen money and knew that this thing was good and it was very exciting to spend, but the king and father also said that the world is like a home, and the Qin State is not rich now. Our family is still poor, so even his money should be saved as long as he should. No one would believe it if he said it. In addition to the due show, he had to eat more sugar and nodded after the introductory chief. For this reason, his mother and king and father had a few quarrels.
"You see what I do, how to eat, drink, and use flowers today, everything is up to you."
Bai Dong smiled and looked at Ying Si. How could he be so timid when he was over six years old? In later generations, children of this age were all spendthrifts when they arrived at consumer places. Ying Si was so young that they must be vigorously tempered.
"Me?" Ying Si blinked, not believing in his ears, hesitating to look at the pure mother who also didn't believe in her ears: "Is the family expensive? It costs a few more portions of meat and vegetables than ordinary places?" It's okay, this kid also knows the unified weight and measure. If he doesn't know the value of Daliang, he simply converts it into meat and vegetables, which is simple and direct.
"The little nobleman will plan. Well, this elegant seat costs five more portions of meat and vegetables than an ordinary seat. However, the environment is elegant and there are no disturbances for idle people. You can also order songs and listen to the sounds, which is very comfortable." Chun Niang chuckled softly, and she had already seen that this was mostly a big family who wanted to train their children, but it was rare to order seats at the restaurant at such a young age. It was so interesting.
Ying Si calculated with his fingers for a long time, looked at Bai Dong with a bitter look on his face and said, "It's too expensive. A portion of meat and vegetables is enough for Sier to buy two taels of malt sugar, and five taels are ten taels. We should still want an ordinary seat, right?"
Bai Dong and Sang Wazi exchanged glances and smiled and said, "Everything will be yours."
Chunniang did not lose her enthusiasm because of this. She arranged for the three of them to sit in a slightly clean position. She called the guy to have tea and responded, and then sang a fat promise to leave. Bai Dong smiled and looked at Ying Si, took out a small book and charcoal pen from his arms, and said while remembering: "A point will be deducted. In the future, I will recite "The Jungle of Youth" three times."
"Teacher, why should I punish Ying Si? Sier didn't save money?" Ying Si was very dissatisfied. If it were the king and father, he would definitely be greatly rewarded. The reward of two taels of malt sugar is absolutely indispensable. Why is the Taifu not only not rewarding, but also punishing? This world is too unfair.
Bai Dong smiled and looked at him, lowered his voice and said, "You are the prince's lord today, and you will be the first person in my old Qin in the future. How can you save the style you should have? Remember for your teacher, spending money doesn't matter how much, it just depends on your mind and whether it's worth it! As the old Qin Chujun, you do what a village woman is doing everywhere, which is unwise; now you are here and the elders are attending, not only do you not invite to a elegant seat, but you are in a miscellaneous hall, which is disrespectful; the boss lady is also in her thirties, so it's easy to open this tavern.
? People are so respectful to you, but you just save money, allowing you to make five portions of meat and vegetables less money. This is unkind. If you are so stingy with a woman today, what will happen to the people of Qin in the future? I think if you continue to follow this, Qin will not be rich but strong in the future, but will compete with the people for profit in the future, and the people will be weak in the end, and even the people will live in poverty. This is unrighteous! If you are so unwise and disrespectful, unkind and unrighteous, how much will it be punished to recite the book three times? If you don’t see that you are young, you should be punished to recite it thirty times, thirty times, thirty times!"
"I me"
Ying Si was almost crying with his mouth flat, why did he forget what the Grand Tutor said in front of his mother and his father? Anyway, the Grand Tutor paid for him to spend money, and always wanted to save what he did? It was a lack of hope! Now, if he saved a few portions of meat and vegetables, he became such a bad boy. He was obviously a good baby, and he was too bullying.
Sang Wazi couldn't bear it and kept squeezing Ying Si's eyes, meaning it was just spending money? Your master had money, so he didn't have to save money for him. If you were to spend it desperately, you were not a fool? Ying Si was blessed for a moment and pointed to a row of bamboo slices hanging on the wall and said, "Everything is needed for fat sheep stew, Yellow River carp, and roasted pig heads. No, you will need as many customers as you have in your store. Today I want to treat you!"
The dish was very happy and said loudly: "This little nobleman treats to you, and you will have a share today!" The diners in the restaurant suddenly burst into colorful voices, and they praised the young master for being generous and generous, but much better than my child. I guess it was not the son of the prince, but must have come out of the rich. Some of them would like to make fun of the young master and serve Ying Si comfortably, and then asked for wine. The little guy became excited, his plump and tender fingers twitched, and hundreds of jars of good wine were delivered. He turned around and looked at Bai Dong, his face full of pride and expectant expressions. Is the Grand Tutor going to praise him this time?
Bai Dong slowly picked up the book, looked at Ying Si, and continued to record: "Two points will be deducted, and I will be punished to recite the book six times in the future."
"Teacher, why!" Ying Si felt like he was crazy. The Grand Tutor was unreasonable. He would be fined even if he saved money and even if he spent money, he would be ten times more severe than the king and father. Can he survive if he continues like this? However, he did not dare to argue, and would only look at Bai Dong with tears in his eyes and ask for an explanation.
"Are you not convinced? I told you a long time ago that making money is difficult, and spending money is even more difficult. The difficulty lies in spending meaningfully. You are the prince of Qin. You are naturally punished by sitting in a miscellaneous hall without regard for your identity as you did just now. Now you are squandering money and giving people wine and meat so you will be even more punished. As a teacher, you must see that you understand the truth about spending money, but you are not spending money all over the street. Do you understand?"
Ying Si looked at Bai Dong blankly, wanting to shake his head but dared not. He felt so depressed that he could only cry.
"I will punish you no matter how much I cry. The journey here is still far. I hope you can understand the truth of spending money. If you make any mistakes, I will continue to punish you. Okay, always look at what I do and eat!"
"I miss my mother, I want to go back to Liyang"
