Chapter 137: Prestige Explosion
The four major grain merchants still have a lot of energy. In just three days, ceramic honeycomb coal stoves appeared on the market, and the chimneys were also made of ceramic. Of course, honeycomb coal appeared together with honeycomb coal stoves.
The price is the same as the price of carbohydrate, but it is more resistant to burns than carbohydrate. The most important thing is to use honeycomb coal stoves to keep warm without worrying about carbohydrate poisoning.
In short, after the honeycomb coal stove and honeycomb coal were launched, it quickly became popular after brief publicity.
Many ordinary families cannot afford to burn charcoal. In the cold winter, they can only shrank in the quilt and shivered, or risked their lives to burn charcoal.
A set of honeycomb coal stoves costs only 500 yuan, and a piece of honeycomb coal costs only 5 cents. Burning three honeycomb coal a day can make the house full of spring-like warmth for twelve hours a day.
Hot water is available at any time.
Therefore, honeycomb coal and stoves are very popular.
There are four newly opened businesses, and many people line up at the door to buy honeycomb coal stoves and honeycomb coal every day.
Compared with ceramic honeycomb coal stoves, there is also a more expensive pig iron cast honeycomb coal stove. This is a high-end stove specially prepared for high-ranking officials and is also very popular in sales.
Faced with such a hot business, it was not that no one was moved, but just after inquiring about it, it was the business of the four major grain merchants, and the Zhang family was behind it, so they all stopped.
Although money is good, life is even more precious.
There is also a unique rickshaw that comes out almost the same time as a honeycomb coal stove.
The Liu family opened a rickshaw shop in the outer city and recruited a large number of laborers.
Many laborers who lost their jobs due to snow disasters have started their new careers after simple training.
The rickshaw with shock absorbing springs is more comfortable than a carriage and a ox carriage. There are no carriages or bumps in the carriage.
Such a rickshaw cost ten cents of money. The car shop rents it to Labor for fifty cents a day. The more it is, it is Labor's own.
In order to cultivate the market, the first month only costs twenty cents a day.
The rich people in Kaifeng Prefecture are still willing to buy the novel rickshaws. After all, the price is not expensive, and it costs only ten cents from the east to the west of the city.
It would take fifty cents to go around the four cities.
As long as you are hardworking, you can earn 2300 yuan a day by pulling a cart.
Even if you pay the rent, you can earn more than 100 cents a day, so there is no problem in supporting your family.
...
A blizzard hit Kaifeng Prefecture, and many houses were destroyed, but because of Zhang Junping's appearance, the winter in Kaifeng Prefecture was not as cold as before.
Although there are still hundreds of people who have lost their lives because of this snow disaster, it is countless times better than before.
Under the intentional or unintentional publicity of the four major grain merchants, Liu Congjian, Gao Yangcao, and students of Wanxiang Academy, the people of Kaifeng Prefecture knew that Zhang Junping was the one who brought them all.
Zhang Junping's reputation exploded.
Kaifeng Prefecture was filled with voices praising Zhang Junping, and for a moment, Zhang Junping's reputation reached its peak.
Many ordinary people spontaneously built a temple for Zhang Junping to offer portraits of Zhang Junping and pray for him.
...
"Boan, this is my little sister!
My little sister is Zhang Boan, whom I often mention for my brother!”
“…………”
Zhang Junping looked at Yang Wenguang whom he enthusiastically introduced to him.
Brother, what do you want to do?
Why do I feel there is a conspiracy here?
Zhang Junping thought of a word, that is blind date.
When Zhang Junping thought of these two words, his heart beat faster.
Zhang Junping is a normal man, and because he practices martial arts all year round, his qi and blood are more vigorous than ordinary people.
Before the night is late, I often stare at my hands in a daze.
If he didn't have strong self-control, he would be like practicing left and right fighting skills.
Let's go with your left hand and right hand, three left circles, three right circles, up and down...Move your hands, move your hands...The happiness is endless...
Today, Yu Qingyang was invited by Yang Wenguang to visit his house. Unexpectedly, the dish was not served yet, so he gave him such a big surprise.
Zhang Junping looked at Yang Wenguang's younger sister Yang Jiuying, the legendary prototype of the eighth and ninth sister, and his heartbeat became even stronger.
Yang Jiuying is 1.65 meters tall, even in later generations, this height is OK.
The slightly wheat-colored face is full of heroism, well... it is well developed.
Although he is only sixteen years old!
Obviously, Yang Jiuying also knew it was a blind date and her face turned red.
"I've met the brother of the Zhang family!" Yang Jiuying generously gave Zhang Junping.
"I have met the Yang family sister. I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts to the Yang family sister!
Please don't be surprised!" Zhang Junping quickly stood up and returned the gift to Yang Jiuying in a hurry.
There is no way to avoid panic. In addition, in his previous life, he has been single for decades and this is his first blind date.
"Hihehe!" Yang Jiuying giggled when she saw that Zhang Junping was even more panicked than herself.
"Boan, how about me, a girl?" Yang Wenguang also had a rude Chinese character. He didn't know how to beat around the bush and asked directly in front of the two of them.
"Uh! Very good! Very good! The Yang family's sister is heroic and looks like a female hero who is as good as a woman!" Zhang Junping said awkwardly.
"Girl, you say you want to marry a hero all day long. What do you think of Bo'an? Can you afford your husband?" The straightforward Yang Wenguang turned around and asked Yang Jiuying.
"Brother..." Yang Jiuying couldn't wait any longer after being asked by Yang Wenguang. She shouted in a coquettish voice, turned around and ran out of the living room.
"This...what are you running?
Brother tells you!
In the entire Song Dynasty, there is no better man than Boan except brother!" Yang Wenguang shouted at the girl's back with dissatisfaction.
"You bully me! I'll tell my mother to go!" Yang Jiuying replied, and ran away without looking back.
"Boan, you and I are both military men. If we don't engage in hypocrisy in literati, just say you like me, a girl?
Would you like to be my sister-in-law?"
"Thank you for your attention from the Yang brother. Ling Mei naturally... It's very good!
But... I'm just afraid of delaying Ling Mei!"
"Oh! What's the delay?
My girl is sixteen this year and is at the age of getting married!
My mother is also very satisfied with Bo'an!
As long as Bo An nods, he can ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage tomorrow!"
"Oh! Brother Yang, this is not what I am talking about!
I'm afraid I won't be in Kaifeng for long!"
"Hmm? What does it mean?"
"The prosperity will lead to decline! To put it more exaggeratedly, now when you walk on the street, the people only know me, but not the officials!
Do you think this is normal?”
"If it weren't for your mediation from this snow disaster, I wouldn't know how many people would die!
It is also appropriate for the people to remember your good deeds..." Yang Wenguang said casually without caring.
"wrong!
This is very abnormal!
Whether it is the disaster relief of Wanxiang Academy, or the distribution of cotton coats by your three families, or the four major grain merchants selling grain at a fair price!
I have given all of them, don't mention my name!
However, now the entire Kaifeng Prefecture knows that I did all this!
There are even storytellers who compile these into stories and spread them everywhere!
It would be absolutely impossible if there was no one pushing it behind this!" Zhang Junping said with a frown.
Chapter completed!
