Plane Supermarket

Chapter 111

After renting the house, the supermarket was closed for three days. All the employees were busy repairing the damaged parts of the house and moving things like sofas and chairs. electrical appliances.

The solar generator can only be used by Ye Zhou, it cannot be sold, and the price is not cheap.

But because it is convenient, and the power generation speed is faster than solar energy, and it is not affected by the weather, Ye Zhou still bought it.

He is very numb when spending money now, and he can't even tell whether something is expensive or cheap. It looks very poor here. After all, there is nothing you want. Sugar and salt are luxuries.

Even Chen Hou has never tasted salt without bitterness.

But they are very rich, and the things they own are extremely valuable in this era.

A set of jade ornaments can be worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

But people are very "cheap", a slave is only worth one gold, and they must be young and strong male slaves.

However, there are not many slaves in Linzi, because there is no hard work, so even if there is a slave trade, the market is not big.

And the slaves who came to Linzi were already considered "lucky". If they were lucky, they would be bought by the family. Although they worked hard and would not have a rest day, at least they could eat more, which was much better than following the slave master.

In addition, Ye Zhou felt that the most amazing thing was that a businessman gave him a gift.

And still without telling others, he went directly to the door of the house where he lived.

Cao'er also felt strange when he came in to report: "He said he has something to ask the immortal."

Ye Zhou was very confused, but still said, "Let him in."

Soon, Ye Zhou saw the businessman who was going to give him a gift. The businessman was wearing an indigo blue dress and his hair was combed meticulously. It made people worry that his hairline would move back in a short time.

Ye Zhou sat on a chair. The businessman saluted respectfully when he came in, and then knelt down on the mat in front of Ye Zhou after getting permission.

The businessman flattered Ye Zhou first, boasting from his appearance to his figure, and then from his figure to his ability. After talking nonsense for nearly 10 minutes, he finally revealed his reason for coming: "I came here to bother you this time. There is an important matter, sir, please screen back to the left and right first..."

Ye Zhou winked at Zou Ming and Sarah who were standing beside them.

Both of them left the room without saying anything.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Ye Zhou picked up his teacup, and he was ready to listen to the other party's nonsense for another 10 minutes.

But this time the businessman didn't talk nonsense, but went straight to the point: "I am entrusted by the king of Wei, and I want to invite you to enter Wei."

Ye Zhou almost spit out a mouthful of tea, but he remained calm on the surface, pretending to be an "expert" enough, he asked: "How does King Wei know me from a thousand miles away? Even if he knows me, no matter how quickly Ma, I'm afraid you can't run back and forth in such a short time, right?"

The businessman quickly said: "There is a Wei envoy in Linzi, who is equivalent to the king of Wei."

Ye Zhou was a little surprised: "Your Majesty of the Kingdom of Wei, has become king?"

Now the Son of Heaven is still there, and the monarchs of all countries are still vassals. To be called a king is to tell everyone bluntly that he is no longer under the control of the Son of Heaven.

The businessman quickly said: "The king of Wei is not his own king, but the emperor bestowed Zuo, and there is a son Yu to watch the ceremony on behalf of the emperor."

Ye Zhou nodded, knowing what he said meant that there were formal procedures for King Wei to become king.

"I'm a businessman just like you. It doesn't matter where I do business." Ye Zhou put down the teacup in his hand.

The businessman quickly said: "My lord's possessions are all rare things in the world. In Linzi, these things are just entertainment for princes and nobles, but in Wei State, they can greatly increase the national power of Wei State! The king of Wei is an immortal king." , will definitely be able to give you a high-ranking official and a generous job, what the Marquis of Chen can't allow, the King of Wei can do."

Ye Zhou: "Since Mr. came to see me, he must not have planned to hide his identity. I'm afraid you are not a businessman, are you? You are Wei Guo's go-between."

The businessman did not object, and he was indeed not prepared to conceal his identity. He nodded slightly: "I am from Wei, and I have been greatly favored by the king of Wei. Although I am a merchant, I also have a patriotic heart for the country."

"I don't think adults are mediocre. Since you have extraordinary things, why don't you find a good buyer?" The merchant looked into Ye Zhou's eyes and said softly, "The king of Wei is generous, regardless of fame and fortune, he can only give you more than Chen Hou. Quite a few."

Ye Zhou smiled and looked at Wei Shang. He thought it was quite interesting. Wei Wang probably didn't know that there was a strange supermarket here, but the people he stayed in Linzi had already started recruiting talents for him.

Are there really any secrets between countries?

He feels that every country is estimated to be infiltrated by other countries like a sieve.

Ye Zhou didn't have any "baby feelings" for Chen Hou, and he didn't think he had to stay in Linzi.

He was just too lazy to run, the road conditions here were poor, and it would take several months to travel from one country to another.

"The king of Wei is the hero!" Seeing that Ye Zhou didn't seem to be moved by the merchant, the businessman quickly increased his weight, "Chen is weak, even Linzi, the king's city, is nothing more than that, and it can't compare with Wei Guo in terms of food and clothing. To achieve a career, Wei Guo is the best choice."

Ye Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What career?"

The businessman gave Ye Zhou a look of "you understand and I understand": "My lord is so extraordinary, he must achieve great things in the world, and a man should be like this! If your lord is in Wei, I can guarantee that you will be an official. The state of Wei is in vacancy, and is waiting for his beloved."

"Wei Guo's aspect, you can give it if you say so?" Ye Zhou leaned slightly, his eyes became sharper.

The merchant trembled. He was lazy just now, but the expression of the young gentleman who looked extraordinarily flamboyant changed at this moment. He looked like an eagle or a tiger. Even the king of the Wei Kingdom may not have such an aura.

Don't be angry and arrogant, don't have to stare at others and lose your temper, just a look is enough to convince people.

Wei Shang: "I can guarantee it!"

He lowered his head slightly, and took out a wooden box from his pocket: "This is the seal of our country."

This is his great gift to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou was startled, isn't Wei Guo too tiger?When a country is in India, let a businessman carry it around?

Is this era too outrageous, or is he not outrageous enough?

Wei Shang saw that Ye Zhou would not stop him, so he stood up slowly, bowed his waist and walked to Ye Zhou with small steps, and handed the wooden box in his hand to Ye Zhou: "Don't worry, my lord. When I left Shang Yu, my king So I entrusted this seal to me, Wei Guo employs people, regardless of background, not family, only talent."

He still didn't forget to step on Chen Guo: "It's not like Chen Guo, where the monarch and ministers are chaotic, and the ruler is not the ruler and the minister is not the minister, and only the noble family is appointed."

Xiangyin is a seal made of jade, and you can't tell what kind of jade it is, but here, the beautiful stone is jade, so it is easy to forge.

It is not entirely certain that this is indeed the Prime Minister of Wei.

Ye Zhou thought for a while, then said to Wei Shang, "Thanks to Mr. Meng, but I have no plans to leave Linzi."

He came from the border and almost broke his ass while riding a horse. He really didn't want to travel long distances to another country.

Wei Shang quickly said, "Your Excellency doesn't care about the aspect?"

Ye Zhou shook his head: "It's not a matter of official position, it's really a long journey, and I can't bear hardships."

Wei Shang: "..."

He never dreamed that this was the reason.

How can you not bear hardships!

Wei Shang wanted to continue persuading, but Ye Zhou suddenly said, "Sir, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Generally speaking, when it's time for dinner, if the host doesn't invite you to stay, no matter how thick-skinned the guests are, they won't be ashamed to stay.

But Ye Zhou underestimated Wei Shang's face. When Wei Shang heard this, he immediately said, "Then bother you."

Ye Zhou was silent for two seconds, then shouted to Zou Ming who was waiting outside: "Zou Ming, take this gentleman for a stroll."

When Zou Ming walked in, he also changed into local clothes, and his figure was exceptionally tall and straight. Under Zou Ming's "invitation", the businessman had no choice but to stand up reluctantly, and followed Zou Ming out with every step and turning his head.

·

There is actually nothing to visit in the house, the verandah is okay at this time, but just like that, merchants have traveled all over the world, even the royal palace, so they really have no interest in this house, but they are very interested in Zou Ming.

He followed Zou Ming, observed Zou Ming's expression, and asked after a while: "Dare to ask my brother, what did Marquis Chen promise to your lord?"

As he said that, he also took out a gold cake from his bosom, as long as Zou Ming stopped, he could immediately give the gold cake to Zou Ming.

Zou Ming glanced at him, his eyes darkened.

The businessman took back the gold cake and smiled awkwardly: "I have absolutely no intention of harming anyone. My lord and you will hardly achieve anything if you stay here."

Now the state of Wei is the only king among the vassal states, and almost everyone knows King Wei's ambitions.

But because of this, countless scholars went to Wei State to do business, and the scholars all wanted to achieve great things in their lifetime.

The businessman didn't understand. He thought that Ye Zhou's refusal to agree to him must be because he didn't believe his promise.

After all, in his opinion, the impoverished country of Chen and the small Linzi are not places where people can stay, but any normal person will definitely want to leave here.

Zou Ming really wanted to kick the noisy Wei Shang into the pond, but he held back, and he couldn't let Wei Shang wander here alone, so he could only listen to Wei Shang's words and look into the distance to let himself go.

It wasn't until Cao'er came over to let them go to eat that Zou Ming came back to his senses.

Wei Shang followed Cao'er and the others into the room again, but he thought that he and Ye Zhou should be dining together. After all, there is no hostess or Ye Zhou's children here. It is normal for the host and guests to dine together.

But he didn't expect that when he entered the room, he saw everyone including Zou Mingcao'er sitting around a big round table.

There is more than one round table.

Wei Shang was dumbfounded, thinking that he was daydreaming at this time.

In his opinion, Zou Ming and the others are all Ye Zhou's servants, how can a master and a servant eat together!This is really no distinction between superiority and inferiority!

But he didn't dare to speak, he had to ask others, so he didn't want to do things like point fingers.

So under Cao'er's guidance, he sat in an empty seat.

"Let's serve." Ye Zhou said.

Wu Yan and the others quickly went to the kitchen, but Wei Shang was still thinking about how to persuade Ye Zhou to go to Wei Guo.

He couldn't think about it anymore, the smell of food came from outside, it was a strong smell, not just the smell of grease and salt, it was a more complicated smell, he had never smelled it before, but An appetizing taste.

When the first dish was put on the table, Wei Shang forgot everything.

He didn't even remember that he was sitting at the same table with a group of "servants", let alone that there was anything strange about the chair he was sitting on now.

But others didn't move their chopsticks, so Wei Shang didn't move either. He watched more and more dishes on the table, including fish, meat, and various vegetables. Finally, someone brought him a bowl of rice, white The rice was steaming hot, and Wei Shang swallowed unconsciously.

"The reception is not good, sir, please use it." Ye Zhou smiled at Wei Shang.

Wei Shang quickly said: "These meals have never been seen or heard of before."

Ye Zhou picked up a dish with chopsticks, and after he was the first to do it, the others picked up the chopsticks.

After following Ye Zhou for a long time, the employees have become accustomed to this kind of food. They eat meat almost every meal. In the morning, many people like to eat meat buns with a bowl of instant seaweed egg drop soup.

But Wei Shang had never seen such a scene.

They now eat in separate meals, and each person has a wooden table in front of them. If there are three dishes in a meal, it is considered very rich.

People's homes don't share meals, but basically they are all one dish. If you can eat a full stomach, you should be thankful. What else are you looking for?

At first, Wei Shang only dared to pick up the dish in front of him - sweet and sour fish.

He was a little entangled, he himself did not eat fish, fish was mostly eaten by poor people.

Because of the fishy smell, not only the fishy smell of the fish, but also the smell of the soil, the cooking methods are limited, and many fish can only be boiled and salted.

In Wei Shang's mind, fish is fishy, ​​so fishy that it makes people want to vomit.

But he still added a chopstick of fish, and put it into his mouth with difficulty. The moment he put it in his mouth, Wei Shang involuntarily widened his eyes.

The expected fishy smell did not come, but a sweet taste, sweet and sour, and the fish meat was white and tender, and it was swallowed as soon as it was put into the mouth.

Wei Shang asked in disbelief, "Is there sugar in this fish?"

Wu Yan, who was sitting next to him, said, "This is sweet and sour fish, and sugar must be added."

Wei Shang said with difficulty: "This room is extravagant, I have seen it."

Make fish out of sugar!Only here can be so generous!

Wu Yan smiled and said, "Why don't you try other dishes? Braised pork is also good."

Wei Shang glanced at the braised pork: "Is that made from pork?"

Wu Yan nodded, Wei Shang was curious: "But wild porpoise?"

Wu Yan shook his head and said, "No, it's bred wild boar, and it hasn't been gelded, so it doesn't taste good."

Wei Shang blinked: "Can dolphins be raised?"

In fact, the wild boars at this time all have tusks, and they can be regarded as a bully in the countryside.

Wu Yan: "Of course, before raising horses, did anyone know that horses can be raised?"

Wei Shang suddenly realized: "Brother is my teacher!"

Wu Yan: "..."

It's really easy to be a teacher.

Wei Shang ate very vigorously. He even poured the leftover soup from the sweet and sour fish into the rice. After eating five bowls of rice, Wei Shang couldn't walk. He slumped on the chair, thinking that the chair was really A good thing that can hold itself up.

Seeing Wei Shang like this, Ye Zhou could only leave him here to rest for the night after keeping him for dinner.

But Ye Zhou took Zou Ming to the palace after eating.

Mrs. Chen Hou has brought the prince back to the palace. After all, she is Mrs. Hou, and she needs to preside over many things in the palace.

The two rode on horses and easily entered the palace - not because the soldiers guarding the gate knew him, or because Marquis Chen had greeted him.

But this palace gate is just a decoration!Not at all!There is no one to guard it, and it is in a state of "my door is always open" all the year round.

Ye Zhou entered the palace, and said to Zou Ming in disbelief, "I thought it was a rumor that the palace was not closed."

When he watched the video before, he saw that the gates of the palaces of many dynasties were not closed, and when entering and exiting were very casual, he thought it was a marketing account that was made up indiscriminately.

It was also the first time that Zou Ming knew that the palace gate was a decoration. Although he was not as shocked as Ye Zhou, he was also very surprised: "What are they building the palace gate for?"

Spend so much money to build the palace gate just to make it a decoration?

But now they have no one to ask, they can only look around to see if they can find a palace man who can guide them.

There are not many people in the palace. It may be because it is a family now, not a feudal dynasty, so the royal family does not need so many people who serve them. Ye Zhou and the others searched for more than ten minutes before they found a servant boy.

The servant boy looked less than ten years old. He was wearing a gray coat and had no flesh on his face. When Ye Zhou called him to stop him, he subconsciously wanted to run, but Zou Ming rode over to stop him.

The servant boy heaved a sigh of relief after learning that they were going to see Marquis Chen: "Nu Nu take the adults there."

On the way, Ye Zhou asked the servant boy: "Is the palace gate never closed?"

The servant boy said in a low voice, "Master Zuo Tu has closed it."

Ye Zhou: "Other than him?"

The servant boy shook his head: "The palace gate weighs a thousand catties, it is a heavy weapon, and it will not be closed easily."

Ye Zhou doesn't need to pretend to be an expert to a child: "Shouldn't it be that he won't open it easily?"

The servant boy glanced at Ye Zhou, as if wondering why he didn't understand, so he explained: "Once the door is closed, someone from outside the city must be attacking, otherwise it will be difficult to open the door. There's nowhere to run."

It turned out that it was out of safety considerations, but Ye Zhou reluctantly felt that this explanation was okay.

King Chen's palace is not big, and under the guidance of the servant boy, they quickly arrived at the study where Chen Hou was.

The servant boy rushed to them and said: "My lord, wait a moment, Nunu will report to the king."

After finishing speaking, the servant boy walked into the study.

Ye Zhou turned his head and whispered to Zou Ming, "Why didn't an assassin come to assassinate Chen Hou?"

The security of the palace is so poor, it is strange that the monarch was not assassinated.

Zou Ming didn't speak, but Ye Zhou could tell from his frown that Zou Ming couldn't understand either.

But the one who came out to pick them up was not the servant boy who went in to report, but Chen Hou himself.

"Immortal!" Chen Hou raised his clothes and walked towards Ye Zhou excitedly. He grabbed Ye Zhou's hand and shook hands with Ye Zhou.

Before Ye Zhou could react, Zou Ming had already stepped forward and grabbed Chen Hou's arm holding Ye Zhou's hand, and said with a cold expression, "Chen Hou is cautious."

Only then did Chen Hou let go of his hand, and kept apologizing: "It's Ji Menglang, Meng Lang is here, the immortal came just in time, if the immortal doesn't come, I will send someone to invite the immortal over tomorrow."

Then he took Ye Zhou and the others inside.

The study room is not big, and there are bamboo slips on the bookshelves on both sides. There is only one lacquer table in the whole room, and there are carving knives and bamboo slips on the lacquer table.

On the opposite side of the lacquer table is a piece of silk cloth with a map drawn in ink on it, which looks like a map of various countries in the Warring States Period.

However, some places are blank. It is estimated that Chen Hou has not obtained the detailed topographic maps of those places.

At this moment, Chen Hou remembered to ask Ye Zhou why he came: "The immortal is looking for me now, but what's the matter?"

Ye Zhou shook his head: "It's nothing important."

Just as Chen Hou took a sip of water, he nodded at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou said, "It's just a businessman from Wei State who came to give me a gift and wanted me to go to Wei State."

Chen Hou spit out the saliva from his mouth.

After spraying the water, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. After putting down the water glass, he said angrily, "Wei Guo is ambitious! He likes to use middlemen the most. I don't know how many Chen Guo scholars have been tricked into Wei Guo over the years. When they left, they thought they would be entrusted It is a heavy responsibility, and only after I went to Wei State did I know that the King of Wei has no shortage of talents."

"Nowadays, there are frequent conquests in various countries, and there is no country whose monarch does not have the heart to be king, but there is no country that has the power to be king!" Chen Hou's voice became much louder, "If the king of Wei behaves like this, all the princes can crusade!"

Ye Zhou understood: "Oh, you want to attack Wei together?"

Chen Hou was taken aback, and he looked at Ye Zhou: "Immortal, what is Hezong?"

Ye Zhou: "The celebrity Zhang Yi proposed combining vertical and horizontal, combining vertical to resist the strong, and connecting horizontal to lock the weak."

Chen Hou repeated his murmur several times, and he immediately said: "That's right, that's right! The stronger Wei is, the weaker we will be as a small country! Weak countries can only resist the strong if they unite!"

"But Lian Heng always weighs interests. Although it is easy to break up, as long as it is profitable, it can form the most loyal alliance."

"Combined verticals are always broken by interests. When all countries combine verticals, before they can win, they have to divide who wants which land, and fight for it. It will break itself without attack." Ye Zhou persuaded Chen Hou a few words, " Chen Guo is a small country, I am afraid that if you win the battle and die, you will not get any benefits."

Chen Hou's complexion suddenly darkened, but he still fought for it: "Chen is indeed a small country, so naturally it won't send many troops when fighting, and it doesn't dare to ask for much land, even if it only gives two cities, it's enough. .”

He felt that if he wanted less, the problem should not be a big deal.

Ye Zhou said speechlessly: "The state of Chen and the state of Wei don't border each other. Even if you get the land, how can you take over it? Do the Wei people on the land of the state of Wei listen to you? You still have to send troops and officials, which will cost money, food, manpower and material resources , what are you planning?"

Chen Hou: "...at least it's a city."

All the kings are crazy about getting other lands, no matter how far apart they are.

Why do you feel that everyone is trading at a loss when you hear the immortal say this?

Ye Zhou: "Being far away and attacking closely, didn't you say that all the vassal states are now at odds with Wei? Then you might as well make friends with him, and you may get more benefits than throwing stones into trouble."

Chen Hou looked at Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou also looked at Chen Hou.

Chen Hou straightened his clothes immediately, saluted Ye Zhou, then raised his head, and asked with burning eyes: "Immortal helps me, and I can only pay with phase, please agree."

Ye Zhou: "..."

What's going on today, why does everyone want him to be the prime minister?

Is this official function allowed so easily?

Xiangguo is so worthless?

And... what is Xiangguo doing?
