Scholars unparalleled

The previous situation was like this. Seriously speaking, I didn't think Lu Chensheng had any amazing talent, and the other party said that he was just a scholar.

It's just a scholar, and there may not be many scholars in other places, but in a place like the imperial capital, there are a lot of them, and they are not rare at all.

In addition, people have always looked down on each other since ancient times, so naturally no one would look down on Lu Chensheng.

"It seems that everyone looks down on him."

Lin Yu suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a heart-warming smile.

"I went to the tea party."

"Huh? Are you ready to go?"

Li Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Lin Yu strangely.

Didn't the other party say they were not interested before?Why are you planning to go again now?

"Staying in the garden is a bit boring, why not go for a walk?"

Li Yi heard that the other party was going, so naturally she had no reason not to agree, but she and Lin Yu hadn't seen each other for a long time, now seeing that the other party was back, she also wanted to make an appointment and go out together more often.

"Okay, I'll talk about the appointment."

Li Yi nodded quickly, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I heard you said that you went to Fufeng City to visit your uncle, so you should know Lu Chensheng, right?"

Li Yi stared at Jiang Linyu with her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yu nodded.

"Then how about this scholar? Is it really as the outsiders say, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, with high eyes and low hands?"

It's completely unreasonable for everyone outside to smear Lu Chensheng now. Now almost everyone thinks that this should be what this Lu Chensheng looks like.

Everyone didn't know Lu Chensheng, and the hearsay and what Lu Chensheng had done made some people take it for granted that this was what Lu Chensheng looked like.

Lin Yu shook his head when he heard the words, looked into the distance, and said with a slightly erratic tone, "He has all the scholarly temperament, talent, and appearance you can imagine."

"This is star anise, cloves, cinnamon, and cinnamon. This cinnamon can be used to make five-spice powder. You can use these spices together."

Lu Chensheng has been free for a few minutes recently, and started to teach Chu Wu to identify some spices hand in hand.

Although there are some spices here, they are not used as condiments at all.

Lu Chensheng taught Chuwu to identify spices, and by the way, he was able to develop some new dishes.

At this time, Qiongyue would always look at Lu Chensheng with her star eyes, and when Lu Chensheng looked at Qiongyue by chance, she would be the first to see her star eyes.

"Why does my husband use so many spices? Isn't it enough to use those spices for cooking?"

There are countless seasonings in the kitchen right now, and Lu Chensheng is teaching the fifth day of junior high school carefully, as if he is imparting knowledge.

"With these things, the dishes made will be more delicious. Didn't the lady praise the stewed meat yesterday?"

Qiong Yue's pretty face blushed slightly when she heard this, she really shouldn't say anything.

Every time when cooking starts on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the aroma can be spread to the dock, causing those craftsmen to rebel in their stomachs.

Listening carefully on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lu Chensheng told her about the use of various spices and how to make five-spice powder.

Lu Chensheng taught carefully, but Liu Wensheng quietly walked aside at some point.

Looking at the various spices filled inside, they were all a little dumbfounded.

Even in their city lord's mansion, the back kitchen doesn't see so many seasonings and spices.

"What kind of new dish did you invent, so Liu can stay and taste it?"

Liu Wensheng looked greedy. On Lu Chensheng's wedding day, after he stayed and ate once, he couldn't forget it.

If it weren't for the many things in the yamen that he couldn't get away from at all, I'm afraid he would come here again and again.

Lu Chensheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and was not too surprised to see Liu Wensheng coming.

After the two got acquainted, Liu Wensheng would often come to Taohuawu to meet Lu Chensheng.

"Are you taking a bath today?"

"Yeah, don't you know?"

Liu Wensheng nodded his head as a matter of course, and opened his mouth to respond.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "Well, I really don't know, after all, I am not an official in the Yamen."

Liu Wensheng's face froze slightly when he heard this, it's like in later generations, when someone asked you if you had a rest today?You replied that today is Saturday, of course you are off, don't you know?

As a result, the other party replied to you, I don’t know, it’s like I don’t go to work.

Liu Wensheng who listened to such words was almost arrogant, how comfortable Lu Chensheng was!

The fifth day of the day is served every day, and such a beautiful girl is taken.

Living in such a place covered with peach blossoms for three miles, I am afraid that everyone will be envious when they see it.

Chapter 71 Give an example

"Liu is not welcome at noon, stay here and eat to your heart's content!"

Provoked by Lu Chensheng, Liu Wensheng immediately said with a bit of impoliteness.

Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "I asked Chuwu to make more. If you like it, I'm making you a food box for you to take home."

Lu Chensheng's indifferent appearance made Liu Wensheng even more depressed.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I brewed a pot of tea and brought it to the stone table in front of the courtyard.

Lu Chensheng sat down with Liu Wensheng, added a cup of tea to Liu Wensheng, and brought some pastries on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Liu Wensheng didn't even look at these cakes, he was about to eat later, how could he have stomach for dinner after eating the cakes?

"Today's visit, in fact, I still have something to ask."

Liu Wensheng took a sip of tea and said to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Brother Liu, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. If there is anything I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Liu Wensheng was in the yamen, which gave Lu Chensheng a lot of convenience. Now that the other party has something to do, Lu Chensheng naturally won't just sit idly by.

"It's like this. My mother's birthday will be over in a while, and you are also one of my friends. I want to invite you to the banquet."

"No problem, I will be there on time for the banquet."

Lu Chensheng thought it was something, but he didn't expect that it was just a birthday banquet. It's not a big deal, so Lu Chensheng naturally had no reason not to agree.

"If it's possible, I don't know if I can ask Chuwu to cook some side dishes? I want my mother to try it too."

Of course, there is no need to talk about the dishes made on the fifth day of the lunar new year. Liu Wensheng thought that if he asked the fifth day to go together, his mother should be able to eat happily.

"It's not a big problem. Let Chu Wu go and make some delicious food for Lingtang to taste."

Hearing this, Liu Wensheng picked up the teacup and touched Lu Chensheng lightly, thanking Lu Chensheng.

With the relationship between the two of them, naturally there is no need to say a word of thanks.

At the beginning of lunch, Liu Wensheng really did not disobey what he said, he ate everything he wanted.

When he left, he didn't bring a food box, but just took some drinks.

According to Liu Wensheng's words, the wine has already sold for sky-high prices. Although he is the son of the city lord, his daily expenses are not enough for him to drink.

Depending on the situation, the city lord on weekdays is more strict with his expenses.

...

Near sunset, the ship that went out for trial sailing slowly came back.

Lao Zhou and the others got off the boat with extremely excited expressions on their faces.

"Young Master, this boat is very useful! We went to Yunmeng City, and Guangling in the distance. The speed is very fast, and there are no obstacles on the waterway."

Lao Zhou came down and reported the situation along the way with Lu Chensheng, as well as the speed of the ship and so on.

Lu Chensheng listened carefully, and nodded in satisfaction after hearing that the other party had traveled all the surrounding waterways and there was no problem with the boat.

"Have you communicated with the merchants in these places?"

"Yes, yes! We have found the most powerful merchants in various places, and discussed with them about peach blossom paper and wine business. They are very interested, and some of them have already paid a deposit and signed a contract with us."

When they went, Lu Chensheng had already let go of some power and asked them to talk to those merchants.

From the looks of it now, it looks pretty good.

Lao Zhou took out some contracts and showed Lu Chensheng one by one.

According to the price they offered, there was nothing to be cheated on the contract.

"It's a good job. Everyone will be rewarded with [-] yuan, and a glass of good wine will be added in the evening."

"Thank you sir!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately beamed with joy.

Lu Chensheng returned to the study, looked at the map on the desk and nodded.

The warriors recruited by Shouyue cost a lot of money every month. If they don't expand their business, they might not be able to support them.

In addition, storytellers were basically recruited and became Lu Chensheng's subordinates.

And in this way, if the storyteller does a good job, it will be another expense at that time.

However, these storytellers have a new purpose, based on their knowledge of various places and connections.

The transportation business of this ship can also start.

Letters or small items in various cities can be handed over to these storytellers, and let them help deliver them to the recipients.

After looking at the places the ship had passed through, Lu Chensheng wrote a letter after recording it.

The content of the letter is naturally for these storytellers to prepare for delivery. Storytellers usually have to tell stories, so I am afraid they don't have the time.

Lu Chensheng just asked the other party to recruit some manpower, and the wages will be settled at that time.

If you want to get another job that can pay, the storyteller won't have any opinions.

"Gu Zhifang."

After Lu Chensheng finished writing a letter, he called out to the door.

Gu Zhifang was a deadly swordsman, and Lu Chensheng still called him by his name despite being awkward.

"Here, what's the matter with the shopkeeper?"

Gu Zhifang walked in straight and said with his sword in his arms.

"Send this letter to Wang Zhongyi, the storyteller of Fengyue Tea House in Fufeng City."

Gu Zhifang is a second-rate expert, and it seems that he has been wronged by asking the other party to deliver the letter.

However, judging from the weather at the moment, the rest of them don't have such foot strength, so they can't just ask Shouyue to go.

As for Qiong Yue?That's even more impossible.

There is no reason to let my wife show her face.

Gu Zhifang didn't have any objections, and after hearing the words, he took the letter and turned around to leave.

"My lord, are you going to start doing business with ships?"

Chu Wu watched quietly from the side, and waited until Gu Zhifang left before speaking.

"Yes, we need to raise more masters, but these masters have to spend a lot of money a month, and the storyteller, if they do something outstanding at that time, they will also need to be rewarded.

Moreover, the more silver this thing is, the better. In the future, you will know that silver can solve 90.00% of the world's problems. "

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I seemed to understand a little bit, "Then what should I do if there are still some unresolved problems?"

Lu Chensheng was slightly startled when he heard that, "Then go and solve the guy who caused you problems."

Chu Wu heard a snort, "I thought the young master was going to say that it must be that the money is not enough, and I have to add more money!"

She had heard Lu Chensheng say this before, but now it came in handy.

Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard the words, "There are many unexpected things in life, not everything will remain the same, for example, you think I will give you an example now."

"Why do you want to lift chestnuts, son?"

Chu Wu asked a little ignorantly.
