Chapter 140 Reunion (repair)
Ren Ze wiped the table and stood by the table and watched the pedestrians on the street in a daze. The price of frankincense plummeted, and he did not avoid it. The frankincense trade expanded rapidly, relying on issuing new bonds to repay old bonds. Now the bonds cannot be sold, so he can only pay the goods to the counter to repay the debt. Ren Ze and his men are fine. Although they joined the army selling frankincense, the old coral and pearl business has been in progress, and they are not as poor as possible.
Unfortunately, Ren Ze mortgaged the goods to send frankincense bonds to the Guifang in the carton, and he had to sell the goods slowly and recovered. In order to repay the bonds, the treasure stall in the market had been taken over by the Guifang. Most of the accomplices lost all the money. In order to avoid suspicion, Ren Ze also accepted the assistance from the Tanglong Town Yamen and worked as a servant in the noodle shop in the city. Otherwise, the accomplices were all doing things and they would still be free and would have life problems.
Just when Ren Ze was ecstatic, he heard a familiar voice: "Give me a bowl of noodles, add more meat, and another bowl of wine!"
Ren Ze looked up and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Little Prince, long time no see, are you here in Tanglong Town to sell horses again?"
The little prince saw that it was Ren Ze who was wiping the table and scratched his head: "People, if you don't do business, what are you doing here?"
Ren Ze smiled bitterly: "The little prince doesn't know that those who do frankincense business in this area have lost money recently and have no food, so they have to work in this shop and earn some food."
The little prince shook his head repeatedly, looking disbelief: "The official has countless gold and silver, and he will definitely not be able to reach this point if he loses the last time!"
Ren Ze sighed: "Little Prince, the people in Tanglong Town do business. They always issue debts and borrow capital first, sell goods to pay off their debts. They dare to do a business worth a thousand yuan. Once they lose, many people will be penniless."
The little prince sat down at the table and pulled Ren Ze and said, "Please do it, let me tell you in detail. I used to rely on you to take me here to sell horses. If you have a way, it is really difficult. It is reasonable to help a group."
When Ren Ze saw that the little prince was a nostalgic person, he was delighted and sat down, saying, "I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the little prince's Chinese language has become more and more fluent. Now, it's not necessary for anyone to help you, you can do business by yourself."
The little prince said proudly: "This time, I missed many opportunities because I was not good at Chinese. After I went back, I learned it specifically and came to Tanglong Town after I was proficient. I realized that it was not difficult to learn Chinese."
For thousands of years, the foreigners and Han people lived in this area, and most of the foreigners knew Chinese. The little prince was not good at speaking Chinese because his tribe was remote and had contact with Han people. After he returned, he mostly lived in towns and had more contact with Han people, and his Chinese language became fluent quickly.
Ren Ze sighed repeatedly when he talked about the plummeting frankincense storm. The little prince seemed to understand but couldn't help but comfort him.
A servant came out of it and saw Ren Ze sitting there chatting with the customer, cursing: "This guy is in the store, eating and living here, and doesn't do anything attentively, how can he chat with the customer!"
Ren Ze stood up and said to the servant, "Brother, this guest is my old acquaintance. I happened to meet him here and talk to him together. If you can't stand it, you can tell the supervisor and I'll do something else."
The servant said, "Are you pretending to be stupid? You merchants have lost their capital and the yamen is afraid of starving you to death, so they asked the shops on the street to hire you for work. Otherwise, the business is not as good as before, so why should you hire someone?"
When the little prince saw Ren Ze being criticized, he remembered his past benefits and stood up and said, "Prince, don't argue with this kind of quarrel, it will be in vain! If you have nothing to do, as I do business, it will be better as if someone is calling here."
Ren Ze waited for this sentence, and I pulled off the hat on my head and said to the servant who was arguing with me, "Okay, then I won't do it anymore. What else do you have to say? Go and serve two bowls of noodles quickly, don't sauce donkey meat, all of them need good meat. Add two more bowls of wine!"
After saying that, he sat down with the little prince and said to him: "I will treat you as your welcome today. From tomorrow, I will follow you and do some small business. Your tribe will definitely lack various goods. If you invest in Tanglong Town, you can earn some food."
The little prince said happily: "This is the best! I made some money by selling horses. I was about to do other business, so I felt relieved if I had a member of the family. All things in our tribe are short of. It can be made by transporting anything here in Tanglong Town, but it is not easy to sell."
Ren Ze said: "It's okay, I've been doing business for so many years, and it's not difficult for me to do some small businesses."
The servant who scolded Ren Ze saw that he stopped doing it, immediately ran back to the store and reported to the supervisor.
Soon, Director Jiang came out of the room and bowed to Ren Ze: "Outsider, the servant is ignorant, don't blame him for offending him."
Manager Jiang is a good person and has been kind to Ren Ze these days. He is a person who has seen the world. He knows that Ren Ze and others are just in a while and will not see each other again.
Ren Ze hurriedly stood up and bowed, "I am very grateful to bother the supervisor these days, so I will report it later. This person is a noble man I knew before. He sold some horses from the north to Tanglong Town to make some money. With his help, I don't have to do things in the store. Please forgive me."
Manager Jiang said: "This is a good thing. Congratulations to the official. Today's meal money will be waived. I will ask the official to do so, so don't refuse."
After saying that, he urged the servant inside to bring the noodles and sent another plate of meat and two large bowls of wine.
When the wine and meat came up, the supervisor whispered to Ren Ze: "When the caravan outside the city crossed the river yesterday, he accidentally broke the leg of a donkey. It was so scary that it was sold to the store. The meat is good meat, not comparable to those of old and sick livestock. Eat more."
After saying that, he said goodbye and went back to the store.
Ren Ze used to be an official, so how could he put his mouth on the meat of livestock who died of old age and illness? So I just explained that he would not give me a donkey meat. I heard from the supervisor that the donkey was slaughtered because of his broken leg, and the meat was good meat, so that was different.
They sat down against the little prince, raised a sip of wine, and ate meat.
After eating a slice of meat, the little prince said, "This meat is very fragrant! I have never eaten this flavor before, it is really delicious! By the way, why did the official just say that he didn't want to have a donkey meat? Now I've eaten it again? The meat tastes very good!"
Ren Ze whispered: "Because most shops make donkey meat and beef sauce, they are made of old, sick and dead, and the meat is not eaten. Do you think, the Central Plains is forbidden to kill cows, horses, and donkeys, where does this meat come from? Today's meat is from a donkey with a broken leg yesterday. The meat is good meat, and it tastes naturally different, and it tastes good."
The little prince said, "This is not good at Central Plains, and we are not allowed to slaughter that, and we are not allowed to slaughter. What should we do if we have so many livestock? Every autumn, the grazing families have to slaughter livestock to survive the winter. Otherwise, who can afford to feed them? No one wants those bad livestock when they are sold to the Central Plains, so how much money can we make? Especially the horses, we are reluctant to slaughter them, so some have to let them go in vain."
Ren Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Little Prince, then isn't the slow horses in your place worthless? This is a way of wealth!"
The little prince said: "What kind of wealth? You don't want any bad horses. It's useless to raise trouble."
"You are useless, it's useful here! In recent days, there have been many more people buying horses in Tanglong Town. Some people want horses, but the price is lower. I heard from them that people in this area use horse farming to pull carts, which is very useful."
