On the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, Yao Chong did not plan to go out.
But when the Heavenly World sent a small jar of six crabs, Yao Chong decided to go out.
The jar was still the jar, and the crabs inside did not change into anything else.
But a piece of paper was pasted on the outside of the jar, and it was different.
On the paper were words that Yao Chong felt familiar: Greedy for two bottles of wine and dreaming of snow, drunk in a jar and hearing of Jingzhe.
Then he looked at the inscription: Lu Huaishen.
Yao Chong was not calm. No wonder it was familiar. Someone imitated Old Lu's handwriting. This was …
No, he had to ask Old Lu. Otherwise, the Heavenly World would also give him a member card … the same warning.
It was impossible to clean it up. That was His Majesty's business.
Yao Chong pondered again. His Majesty asked someone to write a couplet. There seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Let's go and see.
Why not ask me to write it? Is my handwriting bad?
Xingning Square was in the northeast corner of Chang'an. Chong Xian Square was in the southwest corner of Chang'an. The distance was not close. Naturally, he had to pass by the East Market.
When Yao Chong's four-wheeled carriage arrived at the East Market, he saw a long line outside. There were four lines.
"Let's see." Yao Chong ordered.
The carriage stopped. He got off and walked over.
From the side of the line, he went to the side of a cotton candy making equipment.
Someone had just thrown two copper coins into the box in front of him. He took a big white lump on a bamboo stick.
After handing over a cotton candy, the person continued to work.
There was a small bamboo spoon. He scooped a little sugar from the box next to him and poured it into a small metal box in a big basket.
He stepped on it and the box spun. The bamboo stick circled around it. Soon, something like catkins appeared on the stick.
Not long after, a big lump was placed in front of him.
After watching several of them made, Yao Chong, who was addicted to watching, still could not figure out how the small amount of sugar became a big lump.
Lu Wan came out at this time. She smiled and said to Yao Chong, "Mr. Yao, please wait. The two newly made ones are for you."
The two marshmallows that had just been made were directly transferred to Luwan's hands. When she handed them to Yao Chong, she said in a crisp voice, "Prime Minister Yao is a senior member of the Heavenly World. There is no need to line up."
The other people in the queue didn't say anything. He wasn't a member, so they didn't dare to say anything.
Yao Chong held a cotton candy in each hand. He glanced at the others and knew how to eat it. Then, he carried the cotton candy back to the car.
The car started. Outside the car, Lu Wan was waving goodbye.
"This thing is called cotton candy. Cotton is a type of white cotton. Li Yi planted a lot of it on Zhuangzi, so the name is appropriate. But is that candy worth a penny? He's actually selling it for two yuan. "
Yao Chong once again labeled Li Yi as a profiteer. He smelled the cotton candy and found that there was no smell.
"You're making something that benefits the people. This candy … How did this candy become so big? A little bit of sugar is gone in one bite. You can eat a few more bites when you get bigger. "
Yao Chong analyzed and came to a conclusion.
Then, he was slightly taken aback. "Isn't this for the baby? I'll hold one in each hand … "
Muttering, he found a place to put the cotton candy and prepared to give it to Lu Huaishen.
When he arrived, Yao Chong saw another familiar car. It was Zhang Shuo's car.
At the same time, he saw Zhang Shuo standing there with his hands behind his back, watching a group of people demolish a house.
"One, one, one, down, down." Rumble. A wall was pulled down by a group of people wearing the same clothes.
This group of people's clothes were made of canvas, and their feet were sewn with pieces of silk.
Everyone's clothes had words written on their chest and back. The word on their chest read "Good" and the word on their back read "Fast".
It was easy to understand. They worked well and fast.
Yao Chong thought about it and suddenly realized that they were demolishing Lu Huaishen's rented house.
Demolishing the prime minister's house was not right. That house belonged to someone else. Were they crazy?
Yao Chong quickly got out of the car. He had to ask clearly. It didn't seem right to demolish someone's house during the New Year.
"Daoji, this is …" Yao Chong asked Zhang Shuo.
"Yuanzhi is here too? Huaishen's family is building a new house. These people are from the Fast Craftsmen Alliance. "
Zhang Shuo, who came first, seemed to know a lot about the situation and told Yao Chong.
"How did it become Huaishen's house?" Yao Chong was not interested in the alliance. Property rights were more important.
"They bought it. The original four-and-a-half-room house is simple and crude. They want to build it into a two-story house. There are so many rooms.
Look at this line. It extends outwards and doesn't affect the overall layout of Chong Xian Market.
Don't look down on this. It can add one and a half rooms.
The two-story house is the original size of 12 rooms. I heard that the second floor can extend outwards and not block the road. "
Zhang Shuo had already asked clearly.
Yao Chong was stunned for a moment before he said, "Where did Huaishen get the money to buy and build a house?"
"Yuanzhi didn't receive the new drunken crab from Heavenly Earth? There are couplets written by Huaishen on it. Heavenly Earth gave him ten strokes. "
Zhang Shuo was also clear about this matter. He told Yao Chong where Lu Huaishen got the money.
"Ten strokes to buy four-and-a-half-room house in Chong Xian Market? I'll give you a hundred strokes. I'll take as many as you have. Even if I have to borrow money, I'll buy the whole Chong Xian Market. "
Yao Chong said angrily. He did not believe that ten strokes was not enough to rent a house for a year.
Now they were buying and building. Could it be that the Kaiyuan Tongbao in every stroke was not made of copper but gold?
Zhang Shuo knew about this.
He explained, "Huaishen wrote the couplet and got ten strokes. Heavenly Earth tricked Huaishen to write it again.
The sticker was a contract. The contract said that Huaishen bought the cotton candy at the door of Heavenly Earth with ten strokes and got five percent of the profit.
Heavenly Earth bought the house for Huaishen in advance. They also bought the wages and materials in advance and came to demolish the house. "
"This is clearly giving money." Yao Chong understood everything.
Then there was a trace of sour feeling in his heart, but he could not say it.
"How is this giving money? Writing gives you a stroke and buying shares gives you dividends. What's wrong with that? "
Zhang Shuo said helplessly. He was also not in a good mood.
"But Heavenly Earth is …" Yao Chong reminded. Heavenly Earth was Her Majesty's territory.
Did Her Majesty know that they gave out five percent of the profit?
Zhang Shuo nodded to show that he understood, but said, "Originally, Heavenly Earth did not have cotton candy. Then what is cotton candy? Can it make money? "
Hearing Zhang Shuo, Yao Chong turned back to the car. After a while, he came back with a big ball of cotton candy.
"This is it. Put a little sugar and make it so big. That little sugar does not cost a penny. Cotton candy is sold for two pennies."
Yao Chong handed one to Zhang Shuo. He pinched a little and threw it into his mouth.
Zhang Shuo pinched a little and tasted it, "Sweet!"
"Of course it's sweet." Yao Chong took another bite and found that the taste and texture were good.
"Li Yi finally did not take out something with ten times the profit." Zhang Shuo sighed.
"But making money is not slow at all. When I came, there was a long line at the door of Heavenly Earth. Even if it was a penny, it would be a penny profit. It was like robbing money."
Yao Chong recalled the speed of making cotton candy and the size of the line and shook his head.
Then he said, "So, will Her Majesty care about building a house for Huaishen? The idea has nothing to do with Her Majesty. "
"Ask Li Yi if he still needs someone to write." Zhang Shuo said as he bit the cotton candy.
