398. Chapter 398 This meal is more nerve-wracking


Everyone stood at the table and thanked Meng Changqing before taking their seats.

"You brought back the sericulture merchants and took the road of sericulture. I have to solemnly thank you on behalf of the profit-making people in Beishan County." Meng Changqing said.

"My lord, what you said is too unreasonable." Qi Ren immediately saw four sets of bowls and chopsticks placed on the table. Knowing that no one was there yet, he did not touch the things on the table. "Your Excellency and I have the same ambition. , I just want the people to live a better life. This is what I should do, and I cannot thank you enough.”

“Brother Qi, you’re welcome.” He lit the candle next to him and said, "This dinner and dinner tonight is to celebrate your success. I asked Colonel Yang and Master Bai to come with us. The four of us..."

As soon as he said this, Yang Zhengshou He came over with a plate of peanuts and said with a big smile, "Master Qi, what a skill! He got the person back after two days away."

"Captain Yang, please stop making fun of me." Qi Renli raised his hand to him, "I really can't think of any good ideas."

Yang Zheng put the peanuts in front of Qi Renli and said to Meng Changqing Said: "Sir, my wife just fried peanuts to add to the snacks."

Meng Changqing nodded, "Sit down and talk."

"Everyone in our county eats peanuts. "Qi Renli gossiped, "My Qi Rui also bought a big bag."

Meng Changqing told them, "A few days ago, news came out from Liangzhou Prefecture that Weishan County and Hongjia County were allowed. I told Yu Youcai that the grain I had stored in the past two years was sold, and he brought back two carts of peanuts from Weishan County. Although they were old, they were well preserved."

Qi Renli said: "This Yu is talented, courageous and smart in doing things. In the future, the county government may consider him when it recruits yamen servants."

Meng Changqing smiled and said nothing.

Chu Mufeng slowly walked over. Yang Zheng saw him first and stood up quickly, "Master Bai."

"Yes." Chu Mufeng also brought some food and drinks. He packed the dried meat sent to him from the capital. He brought the plate over and joked to the other three people: "Master Qi still has face, so Colonel Yang and I also joined the table."

Qi Renli raised his hand to Meng Changqing, "That's exactly what we want. Lord Xie Meng.”

"We are all our own people, don't thank him here and there." Meng Changqing asked Chu Mufeng to sit down, "Now that everyone is here, let's use chopsticks."

During dinner, Qi Renli talked about his time in Dazhou From my experience, “When it comes to the silk industry, the real money makers are the skilled ones. Thin silk. This is the easiest step to get started, but it is also the most unstable.

I think that since we have taken the first step, it is not necessary to take the next few steps." Meng Changqing agreed. His thoughts also support his next actions.

"Sir, Mr. Bai, you have grown up in the capital and are used to seeing good things." Qi Renli finished his work and his morale was high. He asked, "Help the officials Think about what good things we can do in Beishan County.”

Chu Mufeng raised his head slightly and thought about it seriously.

Meng Changqing said, "Although I grew up in the capital, I have never seen much of the world. I really don't know what is fashionable among the rich and powerful people in the capital."

Chu Mufeng looked at her. , Qi Renli also asked, "You are the prince's companion."

"The prince may not have anything good." Meng Changqing coughed lightly. With a sound, he continued: "The things used in the palace are all carefully selected and extremely rare. If we in Beishan County want to make things for the inner palace, we obviously still have a long way to go, so let's not think about it for now.

But Mr. Bai, you are older than me and have seen more in Beijing than me. I need to trouble you to think about it.”

Chu Mufeng's eyes fell on the dried meat on the table, "I'm not good at making money, but I often hear people say that among the four categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the fastest way to make money is food."

Qi Renli followed his train of thought and said: "There are more people in the capital, and there are more kinds of food. There are those who provide favors to dignitaries, and they are as exquisite as they can be. There are also those that ordinary people buy to fill their stomachs, regardless of the taste. Just fine.
I see those businesses, whether they are in the Xiangchuan Pavilion or at the roadside tea stall, as long as the transaction is made, there are always people coming to the door, and there are always people who are interested in them

Beishan County. The only portion of sweet potato flour might be sold for a good price!"

Meng Changqing turned the tea cup and said: "There are also sweet potato flour in Beijing, but it is not the only one in Beishan County."

Qi Renli was shocked.

Chu Mufeng smiled and said: "Sweet potato flour is not something difficult to make. It has been available in the capital for a long time, so it's not surprising."

"It's getting dark, so it's time to give your brain a rest. "Meng Changqing poured wine for Qi Renli, "Let's finish this meal happily and worry about it later." (End of this chapter)
