Chapter 215 Xia Yuanji Is Very Busy
Deng Danian has been a little depressed in the past few days, and often sends his staff to see how the whitewashing next door is going.
This morning, the guy went to the next door without his reminder, and when he came back, he looked shocked.
"Boss, the one next door is ready."
Fuck! What the hell are you fooling me? Do you still want to do it?
Of course Deng Danian did not believe that the whitewashing could be completed in just a few days, so he went there himself.
As soon as he arrived next door, Deng Danian saw that the walls and the floor were completely new, and those tables and benches were also brand new, and his heart was half cold.
"Hey! The one in front is out of the way!"
At this time, someone shouted from behind, Deng Danian hurried to the side, and saw a row of men and women carrying kitchen utensils.
"What a beautiful little pot!"
"Hey! What is this bright thing?"
Now that he opened a restaurant, Fang Xing certainly didn't hesitate to take out a brand new suit from the warehouse.
In the huge kitchen, three cooks were directing people to place things.
Taking out a kitchen knife from the knife shelf, Bao Xinman couldn't help but praise: "What a knife!"
The whole set of kitchen utensils is shiny, and the three chefs who saw it wished they could open today.
Back at Qingzhuju, Deng Danian's worried appearance made the waiter a little strange, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, no matter how beautiful the painting is, but our business is still looking at the back kitchen. I don't have a unique skill, this Zhuque Street can't do it." I can't stand him!"
Deng Danian sighed, cheered up and said: "What you said is that the cook of our family is the successor of the imperial cook, anyone can be hired."
"Husband, it's about to start fire, you have to give me a name!"
Fang Xing has been going to Suzaku Street to guide every day recently, so today he was lazy at home, and he casually said, "Why don't we call it No. 1 Fresh!"
Zhang Shuhui nodded and said: "It's fine, it's better than that one called Gufulou."
Fang Xing became angry when he heard it. Taking advantage of no one around, he hugged Zhang Shuhui and threatened, "Are you starting to dislike me now? Or is there no such thing as Qingzhuju?
Mingyuelou is coming! "
Zhang Shuhui hurriedly struggled and said: "Husband, let go, I don't have a body!"
After playing around for a while, Fang Xing asked someone to make a plaque.
"Master, why don't you write it yourself."
Fang Jielun felt that his young master was a Wenqu star descending to earth, so writing a plaque was like a joke?
"Master?"
"ah?"
Fang Xing looked around and said, "Food is the most important thing for the people, so let's go to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Seeing that the day of the Northern Expedition is getting closer, the household department is very busy.
Xia Yuanji was even busier. The busy Zhu Di wanted to build a new palace in the palace, but he refused.
"Your Majesty, it's the end of the year, and money and food are in short supply!"
Zhu Di's eyes were wide open, but Xia Yuanji was still unmoved, instead he persuaded earnestly: "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and the dredging of various waterways also needs money and food. I really have no money..."
In recent years, Daming has continued to carry out large-scale projects, and Xia Yuanji has contributed a lot to his financial support.
So Zhu Di had no choice but to wave his hand to drive people away depressed: "Qing, let's go!"
After the people left, Zhu Di gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "This old man Xia, if I want some money, I have to look at his face!"
The eunuch sniggered on the sidelines. You must know that there are only a handful of people who dared to reject Zhu Di many times in Guochao, and Xia Yuanji was one of them.
When the precious banknotes depreciated rapidly back then, it was thanks to Xia Yuanji that he controlled the circulation of the precious banknotes, and even linked the price of the precious banknotes to the price of table salt, thus saving the precious banknotes that were about to become waste paper.
Moreover, Xia Yuanji went down to control the Wusong River many times in the early days of Yongle, and finally succeeded in dredging, and the extra river was the Huangpu River after that.
Such a capable person, even Zhu Di did not dare to belittle him, and he was even assigned to follow the emperor's grandson for easy teaching.
After returning to the household department, Xia Yuanji saw Fang Xing as soon as he entered, and he said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
Fang Xing finished the 'mathematics training class' ahead of time, Xia Yuanji had some opinions on this, so seeing Fang Xing at this moment, of course he would not have a good face.
Fang Xing followed Xia Yuanji in with a smile, and said as he walked, "Master Xia, I have a student in the household department."
Xia Yuanji said casually, "Yao Ping? But he doesn't see anyone all day."
Old pick! Why don't you give me a chance to speak?
Fang Xing resorted to his ultimate move: "Master Xia, I'm writing my second mathematics book..."
Sure enough, Xia Yuanji stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Fang Xing and said, "Okay, send it to my household department first."
Sure enough, it is useless to get up early!
Fang Xing cast out the bait, so naturally he wanted to pay back.
Xia Yuanji's footsteps were fast, and when he arrived outside his Shang study room, he asked strangely, "Why haven't you left yet?"
hehe!
Fang Xing said with a smile: "Master Jiumu has written a good handwriting. Today, I dare to ask you to give me calligraphy so that the students can copy it when they go back."
Mr. Xia, don't try to send me away if you don't give me any favors!
Xia Yuanji frowned and looked at Fang Xing, "I don't have time to write copybooks."
There is a door!
Fang Xing was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xia, it's just three words."
Xia Yuanji suddenly realized, pointing at Fang Xing and scolding with a smile: "You boy, could it be that you have to make a plaque at home, that's why you came to find me? Come in."
Once inside, Xia Yuanji was short of time, so he asked someone to grind his ink and asked, "Which three words?"
Fang Xing glanced at the little official who was grinding the ink, and said awkwardly, "The first one."
"What? Say it again!"
Xia Yuanji was taken aback, and the brush in his hand dripped a drop of ink on the paper.
Fang Xing said cheerfully: "The student's home has opened a restaurant. If you have time, you can go to Yipin. I guarantee that you will be full of praise."
Xia Yuanji pointed at Fang Xing with the finger holding the brush, and wrote three words with a wry smile.
Fang Xing took the banner and praised: "My lord's words are indeed..."
Fang Xing is a layman when it comes to calligraphy, so he can't think of any good words to praise him. When he was searching his stomach, Xia Yuanji started to chase people away.
"My handwriting is mediocre, there is no need for you to brag about it, so hurry up and go."
Fang Xing knew that Xia Yuanji was short on time, so he cupped his hands and said, "Master Xia, please remember that this first dish is on Zhuque Street, so go often!"
Erpilian!
Xia Yuanji couldn't help laughing after seeing Fang Xing briskly flashing away.
The little official grinding ink couldn't help asking curiously: "Sir, why did you name this restaurant?"
Literati should pay attention to character, but Xia Yuanji just chatted with Fang Xing for a few words, and immediately wrote a plaque, which seems a bit unrestrained in the eyes of outsiders!
Xia Yuanji took the latest money and food collection data, and said casually: "Which family does not do business? There are also many officials in the court who do business secretly. Doing business is not shameful!"
And Fang Xing put away Xia Yuanji's inscription, and hurried to find Zhu Zhanji.
In Taisun's mansion, after learning that Zhu Zhanji had gone to the Qianhu Office in Jubaoshan, Fang Xing unceremoniously handed the banner to Yu Jia.
"When His Highness comes back, tell me that this is the plaque I want, and find a famous artist to make it quickly."
Yu Jia was the eunuch next to Zhu Zhanji, and when he heard the words, he read the words and was a little surprised.
"Isn't this written by Xia Shangshu?"
Xia Yuanji often assists Zhu Zhanji, so everyone around him can recognize the font of this God of Wealth. (To be continued.)
