Chapter 26 The main contradiction

Chapter 26 The main contradiction
"Boom..."

"Open the market!"

The angry shouts of the city officials, mixed with the melodious morning bell, resounded throughout the North City.

Accompanied by Chen Hu, Chen Sheng slowly ascended the third floor of Youyu Restaurant.

Youyu Restaurant is the property of the county chief, Liu Qian, and the three-storey restaurant. It can be said to stand out from the crowd in Beishi, which is dominated by bungalows and two-storey lofts.

Chen Sheng leaned on the railing and looked at it, and he saw a faint mist drifting over the Beishi under the dark blue morning light, dotted with the Founder Beishi, which was cut with geometric beauty by long straight streets and alleys, presenting a quiet and distant feeling. of human fireworks.

It's like a small farmhouse shrouded in smoke in the mountains in the evening...

"Dalang, what to drink?"

Chen Hu, who was seated, asked loudly with a smile.

Chen Sheng replied without looking back: "Hot soup, honey water, whatever!"

"What kind of hot soup and honey water to drink, on a big day like today, it's just the right time to be accompanied by wine!"

Chen Hu said contemptuously.

Chen Sheng turned his head and glanced at him helplessly: "Second Uncle, I'm still a child, and I'm still growing!"

Chen Hu became more and more disdainful: "You have been married for five years, and you are still a child? Listen to the second uncle and drink alcohol! If Qingniang blames you after returning home, you can put it on the second uncle!"

"No, thank you!"

Chen Sheng said weakly, "If you don't have hot soup or honey water, just bring me a bowl of minced meat porridge!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Instead, Chen Hu had a helpless expression of "I really can't do anything about you" and shouted loudly: "A servant, bring a pot of millet wine, three or two dishes of meat and wine, and a bowl of minced meat porridge!"

"Master, the trumpet has the mutton head slaughtered last night today. It tastes great, can you make it?"

"Yes, just go ahead, it's not bad for your money!"

"Okay, uncle wait a moment, the villain will go to Zhang Luo!"

The shop assistant who ran the hall greeted Chen Hu with a smiling face, turned around and hurried downstairs.

Chen Sheng leaned on the railing and admired the early morning Beishi for a while before turning around and sitting opposite Chen Hu.

Then, as soon as he sat down, the hard and cold rush mat ruined Chen Sheng's good mood.

He frowned and touched Fang Diaoji in front of him with disgust, his hands oiled.

He touched the rush mat on the ground again and pricked his hands.

The decoration and sanitary conditions are not worthy of the status of the top restaurant in Chen County!

"Second Uncle, look at the furnishings of the Yu Yu Restaurant. Mr. Liu from Chen County has been in the post of county chief for a long time, isn't he?"

Out of the instinct of a catering businessman, he immediately came up with the idea of ​​opening a club-level restaurant elsewhere to kill these garbage restaurants, and quickly took this idea as the center to start a divergent thinking.

However, when Chen Hu heard his question, he showed a stunned expression: "Dalang, you wouldn't think that the 'You Yu Restaurant' opened after Master Liu established the county chief, right?"

Chen Sheng showed a questioning look: "Huh? Is there something wrong?"

"No, it's so wrong!"

Chen Hu shook his head, then lowered his voice and said: "The Liu family where Master Liu belongs is from the Chen County clan, and has been Chen Juncheng from generation to generation. This Yuyu Restaurant is the property of Master Liu, but it is not after Master Liu established the prefecture. , the industry that was created... You even got the order wrong, it is not after the existence of Lord Liu that the Liu family came into being, but because of the Liu family, it was because of the Liu family that Lord Liu was able to establish the prefecture."

"Just like the general Xiang Liang Xiang you saw earlier, it wasn't because he became a general that he only had the Xiang family, but because of the Xiang family, he was able to hold the post of general!"

Chen Sheng immediately caught the point from his words, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise: "Generation?"

Chen Hu nodded affirmatively, and said with emphasis: "Generations!"

Chen Sheng was even more shocked: "How can the official position be hereditary?"

Chen Hu was even more shocked than him: "You always say you need to read more bamboo slips, so what kind of bamboo slips do you look at on weekdays? You don't even know this?"

Chen Sheng said speechlessly: "It's not that you don't know what is recorded in the family biography left at home. The child was frail and sick in the past, and he seldom went out to deal with people. How do you know... Tell the child carefully!"

"That's true!"

Chen Hu recalled how Chen Sheng used to be out of the gate, and nodded relievedly, and then said with a headache: "But your second uncle is also a rough person, even the literacy was when your fourth master used a stick to force us to know each other. Oh, how can Er Bo say about these scholars who are ugly?"

"We only know that these high and small officials in the imperial court are not passed down from father to son or from son to grandson."

"It's the families of officials who are linked to each other and push their own family members to replace the vacancies."

"Today you push my house, tomorrow I push your house, but the name is good, all of them are loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous people, but when the skin is pulled, all of them are jackals that eat people and don't spit out bones!"

"Anyway, a family of merchants like us don't want to be officials!"

"To make no amount of money worthless!"

Chen Sheng said "um": "Have we tried it?"

Chen Hu: "Of course I tried it, but I don't have a lot of money, and in the end I can't even get a pavilion!"

Chen Sheng: "What about the army?"

Chen Hu thought about it and said, "The military is based on its ability, so naturally it is slightly better, but not much better. Two to five hundred masters is the highest official position that civilians can obtain by joining the army. Even great military exploits can’t be overcome. Just by changing the military household, you can’t be considered a true military household without two generations of people fighting with guns in the army... Otherwise, your uncle’s branch will not take root. The fourth generation of the state army has only climbed to the position of a mere general!"

After hearing this, Chen Sheng felt a chill in his heart, and cursed "grass" secretly. Are those in power in this week filled with shit?A little hope of climbing up is not given to the people at the bottom. Lao Tzu is a servant, and his son can only be a servant?Isn't this intensifying class contradictions to death?

Weak as grass seeds, it can still lift stones and gravels to face the sun and rain, not to mention people shouting?
It's totally unreasonable that this dog can't finish the week!
Just when Chen Shengru was sitting on needles and felt that the land under his butt was an explosive barrel, an overwhelming "rustling" sound brought back his sinking thoughts.

When he turned his head, he realized that it was raining...

The rain curtain covering the sky and the earth enveloped the entire North City in an instant.

Seeing the rain curtain, Chen Hu stood up in a good mood, leaned on the railing and looked down at the huge Beishi City, and said in a low voice, "It's really good weather for killing people!"

Chen Sheng nodded in agreement, the rain will indeed wash away many traces...

But then, his thoughts froze slightly.

Facing the brilliant spring scenery in the past, he never realized that there was anything wrong.

Seeing this rain curtain at this moment, he suddenly remembered that this was the first rain in more than two months after he crossed the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Even if he was just a businessman who didn't work hard in his previous life, didn't know the five grains, and could only remember a rough idea of ​​the 24 solar terms, he also knew that with the least amount of rain in spring, something big was bound to happen!
"Second Uncle..."

He whispered in a trembling voice, "How long has it been raining since the beginning of spring?"

Chen Hu thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "Since the beginning of spring this year, it seems that there has only been one rain... The big event is about to come, you don't think about our arrangement, why do you care if there are some of these?"

"Is there any?"

Chen Sheng laughed angrily at his words, and finally couldn't help asking the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Second uncle, what did you do when my father was at home?"

Chen Hu gave him a look of "Are you stupid?" "Why don't you ask? Of course, what did your father say, what do we do... what do we do?"

Chen Sheng stared at him with wide eyes... So you actually read as Chen Hu and wrote as Chen Zhaosi?
"Do nothing!"

He took a deep breath, and kept telling himself in his heart, don't be as knowledgeable as an idiot, don't be as knowledgeable as a idiot: "You and I are just waiting to watch the show, you go to help the child with an urgent matter first!"

Chen Hu: "What's the matter?"

Chen Sheng: "Immediately inform all our family's food stalls... No, I tell all our family's shopkeepers that those who have spare money on hand will all be exchanged for food. From today onwards, all the net profits of our family's food stalls will be kept The next [-]% is for emergency, and all the rest of the cash is exchanged for food!"

"This matter, you should do it yourself, and be sure to explain to each uncle and auntie. This matter can only be rotten in your heart and must not be leaked. In addition to the location of food storage, I will contact Fourth Uncle Zhao as soon as possible..."

Before he could finish his words, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Yiqi tearing apart the rain curtain and hurriedly leading more than [-] pavilion servants.

The violent sound of hoofs could still be heard clearly in the rain.

Chen Hu followed his gaze and said with joy, "Hey, the show is about to begin!"

 Old rules, there will be a chapter later... In addition, ask for tickets, ask the gentlemen not to raise books at this stage, the data of the new book period is very, very important, if everyone raises books, they may raise them and die. , Fengyun can only be responsible for writing books and writing good books, and for the rest, I can only ask you guys.
