Chapter 75 The world has changed

Walking the corner, Du Er turned around and spat: "Two thieves and soldiers, like ants, dare to learn from others to become high-ranking officials. I'm a little bitch! Who is the head of the Tong? He doesn't spit bones when he eats people! In a few months, I'll see how you die!"

When he returned to his room, his brother who was in a hurry to get around and pulled Du Er: "Second brother, how are the things done?"

Du Er sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, and then replied, "Third brother, I have been in Luoyang City for many years, so this little thing is naturally no problem. Just worry about it and go back and send the copper coins to Tongda's shop."

"That's good, that's good!" The third brother breathed a sigh of relief, "Second brother, you don't know that these copper coins are the life of my father. Since something happened, I have been unable to eat or sleep for many days. If the matter is done, I have to go back early to report the news."

Du Er said: "What's the hurry? Let's go after dinner. The brothers of our mother and fellow brothers have not seen each other for some days. When they come, they will naturally sit down and talk. You can tell me how the family is now."

Du Er had a lot of prestige at home, so after saying this, the third brother sat down.

After drinking tea for a while, and after a few gossips, the third brother remembered the money again and asked Du Er: "I heard that Tong Da, who is in charge, used to open a kiln, and was charged with military service because of gambling. Second brother, is this person reliable? My father saved these copper coins for a lifetime, but he could not give up any accidents, otherwise my father would be afraid that he would not be able to hold on."

"Don't worry, Tong Da will have some benefits, he is very loyal. Not to mention that he has a contract, even if there is no contract, Tong Da will take good care of our family's money."

The third brother was still worried and frowned and said, "What kind of loyalty can a thief who has been a military officer?"

Du Er smiled and said, "Third brother, you don't understand this. These idle men are just loyal outside. If they are known to be a friend, they will never be able to move forward from now on. Do you really think that Tong Da is a great official? He used to be just a idle man who only knows how to gamble and drink, and has no skills. Isn't it because I come to Luoyang to ask for some food?"

"Second brother, but I heard that he is the same clan of the head of the Sun Tong Gong Mansion, and someone supports him."

"Haha, the same clan, this is just to deceive you people! Manager Tong just sees this person straight and stupid. He is just easy to use. He really recognizes him as a relative! I don't know how many dealings with Manager Tong, but he is as deep as the sea. What ordinary people can see through! If I guess well, Manager Tong will throw a bone out and treat Tong Da and the sick Yuchi as dog. When will they not be used? You see how Manager Tong swallows them with the belt bones!"

Du Er's third brother has been farming at home and taking care of his parents. How could he know the twists and turns of these city people? Anyway, my second brother has seen the world, so he can do whatever he wants.

At the Tang restaurant opposite, Old Tang sat under the big willow tree in front of the door, looking at the opposite side, and said to Tang's mother on the side: "This world has become so fast. I have lived for decades, but now I can't understand it. Look at the three Tong Da who came before the New Year. When Du Er first came, they treated them as human beings. In winter, they were hungry and full, and they almost became beggars. Who knows that now they have become Tong Da official, and they have more than a dozen companies under their jurisdiction. Our eldest sister, who runs a small garment company, earns much more money than our restaurant. I heard that Tong Da's company is extremely big, with more than a dozen companies under his name. How big is his wealth?"

After hearing this, Tang's mother sighed: "You can't understand the world, but I, a woman, can't understand it even more. A few years ago, my elder sister said she would open a company with Qin Ersan's family. The two of us were worried about something. They couldn't sleep for a month night, for fear that my elder sister's wealth would be deceived. How many days have they been? Her business is very prosperous, but my elder sister's vision is accurate!"

"The world of young people is here, we are old! After this year, I'd better go with my elder sister."

In Old Tang’s memory, the world has never become so fast. In the past few months, his mind has been unable to keep up.

"Master, give me a bowl of wine and two pieces of meat, I'll eat it and go to the city!"

A donkey cart stopped in front of the restaurant. The man driving the cart said to Mr. Tang while unloading the donkey condom on the cart.

Old Tang got up, looked carefully, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I still remember you guy. Didn't you go to the city to buy this car a few days ago, pass by my door and ask for a drink?"

The man took off the donkey, took it to the wooden stake next to him, and came back and said to Mr. Tang, "What my father-in-law said is that the last time he bought a car, he was asking for saliva in your restaurant, but he didn't eat your wine and meat. This time he went to the city, he naturally had to take care of your business."

Old man Tang asked the man to sit at the table under the shed in front of the door and ordered the servant to serve wine and food.

When the food and food came up, Old Tang asked the servant to take a sheep's hoof from it and said to the man: "The newly braised sheep's hoof in the store, the craft learned in the capital, is really good. I'll give you a try. When you go to the city, you'll have a rest."

The man thanked him, and while drinking the strong wine, he took a bite of the sheep's hooves, and praised him, "This tastes really good. Although the meat is a little less, it just happened to be used to drink."

Lamb is the most eaten meat in this era. Naturally, there are many sheep hooves, which are not worth much. Many butchers even throw them away directly. There is a snack of sheep hooves in Kaifeng City, but it is made fine and not placed, so the price is not cheap. Xu Ping made old soup according to his memories of his previous life and braised the sheep hooves. Heavy oil and salt, and used more sauces, which tasted delicious and was most suitable for people who work in the workplace. It was sold in the wine shop in Baisha Town, but later it spread in the capital and became a popular snack.

The so-called craftsmanship learned in the capital was actually passed down from Xu Ping's house.

Three people finished drinking the wine in the bowl and swallowed two pieces of braised meat. The man burped. Old man Tang asked the servant to drink tea. The man sat there rested. The farmer who farmed was not tired after walking dozens of miles. However, the animals who pulled the cart were the treasures of the family, and it was okay for people to stop, but the donkey who pulled the cart had to let it roll there and rest.

Old Tang came over to sit with the man and talked about gossip. He opened the door and sat in business, and it was a business matter to make friends with customers.

Seeing that there was a cart next to it that was loaded with a cart and covered with a straw curtain, Old Tang asked, "What are you pulling in this cart? It looks quite light."

The man took a big sip of tea, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "It is bamboo shoots produced in the mountains. They are taken to the city to sell them and exchanged for some copper coins. This kind of thing is everywhere in the mountains, and the villagers don't see it, but it is a good thing in Luoyang City. Now I have a donkey cart at home, and I can just load it into a cart. When I come to Luoyang City, I will have copper coins."

"That's right, you can't finish eating in the countryside, but the city is short of a lot. Your donkey cart can make a lot of copper money by selling bamboo shoots. You are smart and have vision."

The man smiled and said, "That's true. In this year's market, I want to make money back on my car! I will sell other goods from the mountains after autumn, and it will be earned in vain!"
