Chapter 282 Ice Drink
Wait until these people have made their bids.
Mr. Wei also had to take action now. Whether he kept this fish in his own big pond or gave it to someone else, it would be quite prestigious.
Although the price at this time had reached a high price of ten taels of silver.
"Twelve taels."
Everyone turned their heads, and when they saw it was Master Wei, they all sighed inwardly, knowing that they could not compete for the fish.
Xu Wenyan smiled proudly. This price was within his expectations. In fact, it was even higher.
"Hehe, it has to be our Master Wei. Then our golden carp will be worth twelve taels..."
"Fifteen taels." Before Xu Wenyan finished speaking, a calm voice came from beside Master Wei.
The onlookers were all confused.
They had never seen this pretty boy before, so how could they dare to compete with Mr. Wei.
After all, Zhang Chengjin was in the transportation industry, and Mr. Wei had taken over various businesses in Fengxian County, so the family was still growing stronger.
There is no citizen in Feng County who does not know Mr. Wei, but Zhang Chengjin is a businessman who just arrived this year, and basically few people know him.
Except for those upper class businessmen.
Mr. Wei next to him was also a little unhappy with this person. He was obviously very polite when doing business before, so why did he have to confront him at this time?
And that wine business.
But after all, the two of them are already in a cooperative relationship, and it is impossible for them to stop doing business because of this.
Finally, the fish was bought by Zhang Chengjin at a high price of fifteen taels. When the crowd saw that the result had been decided, they dispersed one after another. At the same time, everyone had a deep impression of this Master Zhang.
Fifteen taels to buy a fish is really generous.
"I'm flattered that Mr. Zhang is promoting my business so much." Xu Wenyan gave Chen Sanlin a look, and he immediately understood and went to the backyard to bring Xiaohong out.
Zhang Chengjin smiled and said, "Brother Xu and I have a connection, and my master's birthday is coming soon, so this is also a pleasant surprise for me."
"So it's Mr. Zhang's birthday. That's really worth it." Xu Wenyan has already mastered this set of skills in the workplace.
Zhang Chengjin looked at Chen Sanlin who came out from behind, turned his head and said to Xu Wenyan, "It's my father's birthday the day after tomorrow, I want to invite Brother Xu to come to my house to celebrate, Brother Xu won't refuse, right?"
"Of course I'm free." Xu Wenyan was not a fool. If he pushed for something like this, it would be difficult to do business in the future. Besides, he was just going to attend a birthday party.
I just don’t know what to give as a gift.
Xu Wenyan asked Chen Sanlin and the kitchen staff to deliver the fish to Zhang's house, and invited them to sit in for a while.
County Magistrate Cheng had already delivered the saltpeter yesterday, so Xu Wenyan could use it to chill the bayberry juice today. In order not to waste the saltpeter, Xu Wenyan simply boiled all the bayberry juice.
Later, a message was added on the small plaque at the door: "Iced bayberry juice is two cents extra."
There were already a lot of people in the museum at that time, but after Jia Anqing hung up the plaque, many more guests came in.
I would rather stand and wait for a sip of iced bayberry juice.
Whenever the plaque of Qing'an Hall is returned, it is exaggerated to say that even the dogs on the roadside want to take a look, because the things produced by Qing'an Hall are too novel.
Before you have enough of one dish, the next one is introduced.
Xu Wenyan put the saltpeter into a large wooden basin, and then filled every corner with bayberry juice as much as possible. Bamboo was scarce now, so he had to cut more with Chen Sanlin in the afternoon.
Qing'an Hall is also recycling bamboo from the surrounding villagers, but the amount is too little.
Xu Wenyan brought two cups of still-cold bayberry juice to the table. There were still drops of cold water on the bamboo tubes. This was unavoidable.
"Master Wei, Brother Zhang, you guys take your time to enjoy the food. I still have to go to the kitchen to work. Tell the waiter what you want to eat. Today is my treat."
The two nodded to Xu Wenyan. Master Wei was very curious as he picked up the cold bamboo tube: "It's so hot, but we can still drink iced drinks. Master Zhang, don't you think it's amazing?"
Take a sip, the chilled taste makes the bayberry juice a bit sweeter, but it doesn't feel greasy at all, and the previous minty coolness is also infinitely magnified.
Just taking a small sip, my whole body felt cooled down.
Zhang Chengjin was also surprised: "Yes, if we want to have a cold drink in the state, we have to go to the Imperial Censorate to taste it."
Although it was difficult to eat ice in this dynasty, their preservation methods were better. Of course, only large families and officials could eat it.
Zhang Chengjin looked into the bamboo tube, but didn't see any ice. Could it be that it was put in the ice to cool it down? Where did they get so much ice at this time?
The two men looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion, but at the same time they both saw greater business opportunities.
After Xu Wenyan boiled all the bayberries into bayberry juice, he put six tubes of iced bayberry juice in the lunch box and said, "After taking out one batch, put the next batch in quickly. It only takes half a quarter of an hour each time."
He didn't know how much heat these three pieces of saltpeter could absorb, and he estimated that it would not last too long, and the amount of iced bayberry juice he could drink every day would also be limited.
"When the water is no longer cold, tell them that the iced ones are sold out, so they don't need to be greedy for that one or two cups."
"Yes, Brother Xu, I understand."
The waiters at Qing'an Restaurant were all reliable. Xu Wenyan rushed out in a hurry with the lunch box. The county government office was close, otherwise the food would have become a hot drink if it was sent there.
The clerk at the door today is still Xiao Hu, who is also familiar with Xu Wenyan: "Brother Xu, what delicious food did you get?"
"This is for the county magistrate's daughter. Don't be greedy."
The two of them were joking about letting Xu Wenyan in, but were stopped by a rough voice: "Why didn't you let him in without notifying him?"
When Xiao Hu saw who was coming, he panicked: "Brother Dashan, this person is someone the county magistrate knows and often comes to the county government office."
When Xu Wenyan looked at this person, his eyes wrinkled.
This person was none other than Xu Dashan. He looked much stronger and darker than when he was first sent out.
The most frightening thing is the horrifying scar that runs from under the eye bag on the right side of his face to his neck. It seems that Xu Dashan suffered a lot on the battlefield.
Seeing his brother with a ruddy face and holding such a big lunch box in his hands, Xu Dashan was stunned.
"Little brother..."
Xu Wenyan didn't say anything. He walked around Xu Dashan and walked quickly inside. Xu Dashan's current appearance still shocked Xu Wenyan greatly.
Of course, the most important thing is that the bayberry juice should not be heated.
"County Magistrate Cheng! Where is Yao'er?" As soon as Xu Wenyan entered the main hall, he saw County Magistrate Cheng reading a memorial.
"Here I come! Here I come!" Cheng Yao was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. She had been waiting early today. She wanted to go directly to Qing'an Hall several times but was stopped by County Magistrate Cheng.
Xu Wenyan put down the lunch box and quickly handed two cups to the two of them: "Hurry, drink it while it's cool."
After taking a sip of bayberry juice, Cheng Yao's face was full of smiles: "Wow! Brother Xu, you are amazing. It's still cold!"
"I really didn't expect Brother Xu to know how to store ice."
Xu Wenyan didn't say much, just smiled and responded: "As long as the county magistrate and Miss Yao'er like it."
"I like it. Brother Xu, please send it to me tomorrow." Cheng Yao looked at Xu Wenyan with joy.
Fortunately, County Magistrate Cheng came to his rescue at this time: "Yao'er, stop messing around. Your brother Xu still has to do business. It's no big deal for him, a restaurant owner, to come to the county government office every day."
If you don’t know, you would really think that they are colluding with officials and businessmen.
Xu Wenyan naturally understood, and after chatting for a few words he left.
When I walked to the main courtyard, I saw the familiar man again.
