Chapter 83(1/2)
Zhao Wensheng arrived at the best private room in the restaurant.
After knocking on the door.
Sounds soon came from inside.
"Come in."
Zhao Wensheng went in.
The sound of chatting inside suddenly stopped.
There were only three people sitting in the huge box.
He glanced at it and quickly lowered his eyes.
He told his father, Chen Yuanwai, that he had something urgent and wanted to discuss it with him.
After Chen Yuanwai talked to the two people next to him.
Then he took Zhao Wensheng out.
On the side of the corridor.
Zhao Wensheng and Chen Yuanwai talked about Zhao Ce.
For ordinary things, Zhao Wensheng would definitely not disturb his master when he was in trouble.
It's just that this white sugar is a rare thing.
Restaurants also take it very seriously.
So he calmly told Yuan Wai Chen.
After hearing this, Mr. Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
"White sugar is a rare thing."
"Collect more and I'll just use it to give as gifts."
When Zhao Wensheng heard that it was done, his face became much more relaxed.
He said: "Thank you very much, sir."
Officer Chen looked at him and thanked him, and said with some curiosity: "I heard that the person who provided the sugar is a relative of yours?"
Zhao Wensheng said honestly: "Yes."
"He's my cousin, his name is Zhao Ce."
When Chen Yuanwai heard the name, he felt it sounded familiar.
But for a moment I didn't remember where I heard the name.
I guess he's not an important person.
So he didn't take it to heart.
"You did a good job with the sugar."
"I will give you an extra half month of monthly silver this month."
Although Zhao Wensheng is the shopkeeper of his own restaurant.
But he is not a slave.
Therefore, Chen Yuanwai still had to bribe him as much as possible to make him work wholeheartedly for his restaurant.
This white sugar is now only supplied to their restaurants in large quantities.
So this can be regarded as a disguised win over, the person who provided the sugar.
Zhao Wensheng said with a smile: "Thank you sir."
Mr. Chen waved his hand.
"The restaurant incident is all thanks to you."
"The Registrar is still inside."
"I'll go in first."
Zhao Wensheng obtained the permission of Yuanwai Chen and was given a bonus.
Naturally, I am in a good mood.
He returned to the box and told Zhao Ce the good news.
"You can just take it out when you go back."
"Our master said, if you deliver it normally next month, we will still accept it."
After Zhao Ce heard this, he quickly thanked him and said, "Sorry for bothering Brother Wen Sheng."
Thus.
Even after building your own house.
There is still money left to buy land and sugar cane seeds.
Zhao Wensheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all relatives, so there is no need to thank you so much."
"By the way, the snacks this time are the ones you didn't eat last time."
"How does it feel?"
Zhao Ce smiled and said: "They all taste good."
Look at these snacks.
Zhao Ce also has some ideas about modern dim sum.
But he planned to keep these things for later when he had money.
I sat in the inner room for a while longer.
The boy came back with Zhao Ce's money from selling sugar.
At the grocery store, I saw that there was a different person delivering the goods this time, and I was a little confused.
But when I saw the quality of the sugar, it was still the same as before.
Didn't say anything.
Zhao Ce got another eight taels of silver.
This plus the savings at home.
Even building a big blue brick house with large tiles is enough.
Things are done.
Zhao Ce then said goodbye to Zhao Wensheng.
Zhao Wensheng packed snacks for him as usual.
Zhao Ce couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to accept it.
He put the things away and pinched the silver in his hand.
Zhao Ce suddenly felt like he was returning home.
"I have to go back soon and see my uncle about building a house."
...
the other side.
Officer Chen returned to the box.
The middle-aged man sitting in the middle took a sip of tea and said, "I was so abrupt today that I disturbed Mr. Chen."
Officer Chen said with a smile: "Master Registrar is here, how can this be considered an intrusion?"
"It's just about the food..."
Chen Yuanwai said with some embarrassment: "Our family has been giving porridge outside the city for three consecutive days."
"This is still bearable for the time being."
“But it’s really difficult for our family to borrow food.”
"Master Registrar, you also know."
"Our family runs a restaurant, so we usually only buy enough food for the restaurant."
"There really isn't much food left."
"I can only give you ten shi of food at most."
"There's no need to say whether to borrow or not."
"At that time, our Chen family gave porridge several times to the victims in the neighboring county."
A middle-aged man known as the Chief Secretary.
