Chapter 78: Classmate Friendship
As the days passed, Zhao Zhen was busy inspecting various industries and solving problems encountered.
During this period, I went back to the main world to send back the catch and at the same time reconcile the bill with Miao Erniang. Relying on the fish farm, she earned nearly 200 guan by selling fish for more than half a month. She trained four chefs and earned another 200 guan. Miao Erniang found someone to do an appraisal. This inheritance can train 6 chefs every year.
Secondly, I negotiated some deals with Lu Zhuocheng, a classmate who makes private teeth. On that day, Zhao Zhen sent someone to invite Lu Zhuocheng to the village for a gathering. He also invited Linghu Zhonghui, who was now appointed as the instructor of the rural private school in Luliu Township, to accompany him.
Zhao Zhen first accompanied the two of them around the village, and the two couldn't help but feel envious.
The three of them sat down in the front hall, and Lu Zhuocheng asked: "Zhao Erlang, you invited the two of us here just to show off, right?"
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Lu Sanlang, how can you do it now? Got a position as an official? "
Lu Zhuocheng sighed, not looking very upset, and said: "We fell short. All the people who should be taken care of were taken care of. In the end, a distant relative of a big shot in the county filled the gap. . Now I can only rely on my father’s connections to do small business that Guan Ya doesn’t like. Now that we have split up, I can barely make ends meet. “Why, does Erlang have a business to take care of me?”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Care is out of the question. I do have some output in the fantasy world now. Let's see if brothers have any opportunities?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "I wonder what they are?"
Zhao Zhen said: "My village and the fantasy world currently produce the most fish. In addition to the fish farm in the county, there is still a lot of surplus. I wonder if you have a way?"
Lu Zhuocheng asked: "What kind of fish are they?"
Zhao Zhen said: "The ones that have been proven are carp, silver carp, bighead carp, herring, crucian carp, etc., and the rarer ones include large herring and silver carp weighing hundreds of kilograms. Wait, among the shrimps, crabs and turtles, there is also a spiritual creature, the four-bearded carp. Eating this fish can enhance your physical fitness, but there are not many of them and it is not easy to catch."
Lu Zhuocheng said in surprise: "There is actually a spiritual creature, 豼. That fantasy world seems to have endless potential. Green poplar furniture, boxwood carvings, boxwood potted plants, plus the four-tailed carp just mentioned, there are many specialties since there are spiritual objects, so it will be much easier. You won’t have to worry about selling the four-tailed carp with the ordinary catch.”
Zhao Zhen said: “Lu Sanlang, it’s extremely difficult to catch the four-tailed carp. You may not be able to catch many in a month. Is it difficult to match?”
Lu Zhuocheng said: "This is not difficult. These four-tailed carp are not something that ordinary families can eat. I know several wealthy families in the county. Hey, these families seem to be separated, and each family is commensurate with their houses. In fact, they are still In a family, the patriarch has great authority and follows the aristocratic family system. The laws of the country only restrict people like us.
Only those who have reached the age of 1000 are willing to prepare one for their children. , only used in big banquet venues of aristocratic families. These people usually use a lot of ordinary fish. Just write down the names of each family, buy a thousand catties of fish, or buy other items for your family. You can also spend a first-class amount. Just buy the spiritual fish first."
Zhao Zhen said: "How much should I price these four-tailed carps?"
Lu Zhuocheng said: "There are also three or five fantasy worlds in the county. There are spiritual fish produced in the county. They are all sold in Nanshi. You can check it out when you have time. The price of a spiritual fish has never changed. Passed."
Zhao Zhen was happy after hearing this, much better than he expected.
Lu Zhuocheng said: "I am just a private person now. I know some big families through my father's relationship. If there are any suitable ones, I can introduce them to your village. However, you are far away from the county seat, so I am afraid that they will be sent to your doorstep." Go. The commission will still be calculated based on the number of one hundred and one." Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Everything will be as you said. Today, I invited the chief of staff, Hu Zhonghui, to be a witness for us. I can’t explain why I’m a bit dirty in the future.”
Linghu Zhonghui said from the side: “I just thought I was here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but I didn’t expect that I became a witness. People.”
After that, the three of them laughed together.
After laughing for a while, Linghu Zhonghui said sternly: "It turns out that I can successfully serve as the township teacher in Luliu Township, and I have to thank Zhao Erlang."
Lu Zhuocheng said: "Oh? Zhao Erlang is so powerful now?"
Linghu Zhonghui said: "Zhao Erlang has a very good relationship with Gao Hu, the current head of the Luliu Township Pavilion. I heard that I am too I graduated from Dongsheng County School this year. Speaking of which, Zhao Erlang and I were classmates, so I immediately decided to take over. Now I am in charge of the entire township school. Didn’t I take advantage of Zhao Erlang?" The three of them said. laugh.
Linghu Zhonghui then said: "Zhao Erlang, since you have good fish here, there are also many students living in the township school, and there are various ingredients purchased in quotas in the dining hall every day. Tomorrow How about you send people to the countryside to find me and make a contract. From now on, all the ingredients needed for the dining hall will be purchased from your village."
Zhao Zhen was very happy after hearing this. He said to Linghu Zhonghui: "Then thank you very much, Master Linghu. You have also heard that I entrusted Lu Sanlang to make peace with me and take a commission of one hundred and one. Your place is a public school, and your money will always be with you." No, do you think my Zhuangzi is different from other places?"
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Lu Zhuocheng and Linghu Zhonghui looked at each other. Linghu Zhonghui was stunned and said: "You There are many boxwood potted plants here." He pointed to several sculptures on the museum shelf and said, "These sculptures are also made of boxwood. No wonder there are no mosquito bites in your village."
Lu Zhuocheng suddenly realized after hearing this: "I said so."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Chief Linghu, I will give you a boxwood bonsai as a gift. In addition to repelling mosquitoes, boxwood bonsai also has wealth and honor. , auspicious meaning, and also means that talents are suitable for the occasion."
Linghu Zhonghui did not refuse and said thank you.
Zhao Zhen said to Lu Zhuocheng: "In addition to these, my fantasy world also needs various books, good iron, good horses, tools such as pedal reeling carts, etc. Bailiu Village also lacks farmers. . All of these require Saburo's help.
I have been in office for two months now, and to be honest, I have received a lot of benefits. It's just that there are many scattered things in the village, and nothing remains the same throughout the year. They always circle around the fields, cattle, sheep and livestock.”
They have been classmates for ten years and have graduated not long ago. The three of them are much more sincere, and they can't help but complain about each other. Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, you are surrounded by blessings and don't realize how blessed you are. This time around, the fantasy world you awakened to is the best. My uncle gave you a lot of money when we separated. Now you are one mile away." If you are long, you have the brightest future. Being a mayor is a good thing. If you join the public service, you will be guaranteed. The harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods, and you will be exempted from the corvee. As for me, I am just a private person, and I will not be able to get a good job. "
The three of them talked some more nonsense. At noon, the three of them sat down and drank until midnight. That night, the two stayed at Zhao Zhenzhuang.
