Chapter 186 Hire Lao Xue
The single room is not big and can only accommodate up to four people.
It's not so much a single room, but rather a screen partition.
Taking advantage of the time when Lao Bao served the dishes, Lao Xue explained to Yang Jing: "The ancestor of this Lao Bao was the authentic Huangqi Banner, and his surname was also quite noble. Do you know that Borjigit? Lao Bao originally had this surname."
As soon as these words were said, Yang Jing was really shocked.
When it comes to Borjigit, many people may not know about it, but if you want to talk about another name of this surname, many people probably know it.
Borjijin. Temujin! I guess there are very few people who have never heard of this name in China. That's right, the famous Genghis Khan is the one with the surname Borjijin, which is Borjigid.
This is the royal surname of Mongolia. Even in the Qing Dynasty, the Borjijit family was one of the nine surnames that formed the Yellow Banner. The old lady of Emperor Shunzhi, the grandmother of Emperor Kangxi, and the famous Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang in the early Qing Dynasty, was named Borjijit...
Yang Jing really didn't expect that the owner of this fly restaurant would actually be in royal blood.
This is definitely not nonsense. If the Yuan Dynasty did not end, wouldn’t this Boss Bao be a child of the royal family? Although it may be far away, it is definitely unquestionable that they have royal blood.
It’s a pity that my ancestors, who were glorious back then, could only rely on opening such a fly restaurant to make a living.
The owner of the bag served the dishes very quickly. In a few minutes, the steaming copper pot was brought up. After waiting for a while, he saw that the hand-cut mutton slices were also served. In addition, the seasonings, tofu, various vegetables, beef loins, sheep belly, etc. were also served one after another. Finally, the big and thick boss brought up two bottles of Maotai.
"Old Bao, come and have two drinks when you're fine later. I'll introduce you to this good brother."
"Okay! When I finish this work, I'll come over to give it a few drinks."
When Lao Bao walked out, the water in the pot also boiled. Lao Xue first put a few pieces of tofu in and then started pouring wine. Yang Jing wanted to pour wine, but Lao Xue stopped him and asked him to pour wine no matter what.
"Come on, Brother Yang, we two meet one! Haha, I'm sorry, this is the first time I've been drinking Moutai since I was a child! Thanks to your luck, Brother Yang, we can also taste what Moutai tastes."
The two of them touched each other and took a sip of wine. Lao Xue's face suddenly showed an intoxicated look.
"Moutai is Moutai, you can't accept it. It's so delicious..."
Yang Jing smiled without saying a word. He picked up a slice of mutton slices that were almost as thin as paper with chopsticks, put them into the pot and rinsed them twice, then dipped them in the dipping sauce and put them in his mouth.
"Well! It's really good! The meat is good and the ingredients are quite authentic. Brother Xue, this bag master's skills are really good."
Lao Bao took another sip of wine and said, "Of course, Lao Bao's restaurant is small, but the meals for two meals a day are basically full, and there will be no place to sit when you come late. If Lao Bao's skills are not good, how could it attract so many customers?"
This is true. Before traveling through time, the lives of ordinary people are getting better and better. In the past, they could only occasionally spend mutton hotpot in restaurants, and they also entered thousands of households early. Especially in the north in winter, almost every family can regard mutton hotpot as a common occurrence. Even if they go to a restaurant, they can't spend 200 yuan. mutton hotpot has become an ordinary daily consumption for ordinary people.
However, after eating this meal of mutton hotpot today, Yang Jing really felt that although mutton hotpot has entered thousands of households in later generations, if you want to eat authentic mutton hotpot, you have to have a master with superb skills.
The same meat is different. The same sesame sauce tastes good.
You can't accept this even if you don't want to!
The price of hand-cut mutton in Laobao is not very expensive. One plate of hand-cut mutton costs only eight yuan. Although one plate is only about six taels, it is hand-cut mutton after all, and it is cut so thin. This skill alone is more valuable than these mutton slices.
Think about Donglaishun in later generations. If you eat ordinary mutton slices, drinking is not very expensive, but if you order mutton cuts, then okay, you can double the price of this meal!
After drinking a few glasses of wine and eating two plates of mutton, Yang Jing's stomach was in his stomach and his body became warm. So he said to Xue Renfa: "Brother Xue, I have a reluctance here, please discuss it with you."
Old Xue put down his chopsticks when he heard this, "Brother Yang, although we two only met today, I think you are really good. If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"Brother, I want to hire you to buy something for me for a long time. I wonder if you would like it?"
"Long-term acquisition?" Lao Xue was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean is that I will help you acquire documents similar to today?"
Yang Jing nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's just buying these things. Brother Xue, I'm not a Chinese, I'm a British Chinese, but I like the culture passed down by our ancestors. Today, I accidentally saw these things on your stall. I like them very much, so I bought them all. I know that since these things can appear in this scrap station today, there is a great possibility that they will appear in other scrap stations. But I can't stay in Yanjing for a long time, so I want you to help me with the acquisition."
Lao Xue nodded and said, "Brother Yang, I know what you mean. It's okay for me to help you buy these things, but there are a lot of these things in the scrap station. If you buy them all, it will take a lot of funds. I'm on hand..."
"Brother, don't worry about this. For example, if I'm leaving Yanjing tonight, I will take away what I've collected today, and I will leave you a little money, and you can use this money to help me acquire it. And I plan to rent your room for a long time, and I suggest you better decorate another room, because it may take a long time for me to come here next time, so after you collect the things for me, you will temporarily store it in your house. Just pay attention to fire and moisture protection, and I will take it away when I come next time. How about it? As for price, you can ask me to reimburse the invoice issued by the scrap station. Of course, I won't let you work in vain. For example, the price you purchased at the scrap station is one dollar per pound, and I can give you money at the price of three dollars per pound. The difference in the middle is your hard work."
When Lao Xue heard Yang Jing say this, he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he looked up and said, "I have taken this job, but if you don't come to Yanjing for a long time, you probably have to leave me some more funds for the acquisition. At least you have to leave me 50,000 yuan. If it's less, I can't guarantee to collect all those things."
Yang Jing was not surprised by Lao Xue's proposal.
These days, even if you collect junk, you need capital.
Even if Lao Xue didn't mention this, Yang Jing had already had an idea. When he left, he would definitely leave some money for Lao Xue. As for whether Lao Xue would take away the money with him, Yang Jing didn't think much about it.
Originally, when entrusting Lao Xue to do this, the bet on Lao Xue's humanity and integrity. If someone helps you collect "dashed" it is a love affair. If he gets it away with your money, it's not surprising. In this era, 100,000 yuan is enough for an ordinary boss to do something crazy enough.
If Lao Xue really honestly collected "dashed" for himself, he would have picked it up. The entire 1990s, especially in the late 1990s, was the most beautiful period of Yanjing cultural scavengers. The reason why the precious manuscripts and documents in later generations gathered in individuals in large quantities was that these cultural scavengers collected from Yanjing's scrap purchase stations during this period.
Now, this kind of sign has just emerged, and many famous collectors in later generations have not yet realized that there is huge wealth in the scrap purchase station. Therefore, since you have caught up with this matter, you must not let it go. Make arrangements in advance and let Lao Xue acquire these "dirty" in the scrap purchase station! OK, then you will have an extra way to collect; if not, then take this as nothing.
As for the money issue, about 100,000 yuan is really nothing to Yang Jing.
If Lao Xue is a good-natured person, sincere and honest, and honestly takes care of his work, then let alone a hundred thousand, even a million is definitely worth it.
Therefore, Yang Jing took out more than 100,000 yuan to bet that Lao Xue has this path in human nature, which is really nothing. Of course, if Lao Xue really takes care of her job for her, then when she returns here again next time, she will never mind giving Lao Xue some more benefits.
In fact, Yang Jing didn't want to stay in this time and space for a few more days, but unfortunately the answer given by the Holy Ring made Yang Jing extremely disappointed.
It turned out that when Yang Jing was storing those manuscripts with Lao Xue in the morning, he tried to absorb the humanistic treasures from these precious manuscripts. Yang Jing knew that the energy in the holy ring was not enough to maintain his stay for a few more days, so he wanted to extend his stay in this time and space by absorbing the humanistic treasures.
For an antique lover, it is definitely more attractive than anything to buy cheap and amazing antiques with more than 20 years later. Before coming, due to energy limitations, Yang Jing was only going to stay in this time and space for one day, but now he has a large number of precious manuscripts full of humanistic treasures. Once all the humanistic treasures in these manuscripts are absorbed, let alone stay for one day, it will be no problem to stay in this time and space for a year!
But when Yang Jing was about to absorb it, he found that the holy ring could not absorb the humanistic treasures in these manuscripts at all.
Moreover, the Holy Ring gave the answer very happily - when using the "restricted-level time and space shuttle" skill, the Holy Ring cannot absorb any humanistic treasure or natural treasure.
In other words, if Yang Jing wants to absorb these humanistic treasures, he must wait until this time and space shuttle is over before he can absorb it...
This undoubtedly poured Yang Jing a basin of cold water on the head.
It turns out that the holy ring has such restrictions, which Yang Jing never thought of before. In this way, his idea of absorbing the humanistic treasures in these precious manuscripts to stay in this time and space for a few more days was completely bankrupt.
It is depressing enough to be guarding such a treasure of humanistic treasure but cannot absorb it.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing had the idea of hiring Lao Xue to do things for him.
"Okay, Lao Xue, I just thought of this, I also thought of it. Don't worry, when I leave today, I will leave you enough funds."
When Lao Xue heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He picked up the wine glass and touched Yang Jing. Then he said, "Brother Yang, I won't say much about anything else. Since you can trust me so much, I will never let you down. Don't worry, I will do the next thing well..."
When Yang Jing heard this, a few black lines appeared on his forehead. Are you very erect? Are you very capable of talking? Why do you say such words? "Don't you go with confidence..." Is this a big problem? Isn't this a big deal?
Lao Xue obviously didn't realize what he said was a little wrong, and he still said enthusiastically: "Brother Yang, do you think it's okay if I plan to do this? After all, my power is limited, and the entire Yanjing City is too big. I don't know how many scrap purchase stations are there, and I will definitely not be able to take care of them by myself. If you provide enough funds, I decided to develop a few more brothers for you. I have been in this industry for quite some time and I also know a few brothers with good relationships. If they promise to help, I am very sure to collect a lot of more things. Well, to use a very popular word now, what is it called... Yes, it's called monopoly! With more people, I will try to monopolize all the scrap purchase stations in Yanjing..."
After drinking more than half a pound of wine, Lao Xue was obviously a little taller, but he was obviously in a very wonderful state now, his mind was particularly sensitive, and he talked a lot to Yang Jing. Until he shook his head and couldn't continue, the meal was over.
After calculating the accounts, Yang Jing was shocked. It was not that the price was too expensive, but that it was too cheap.
This meal cost only about 400 yuan. You know, they asked for two bottles of Feitian Moutai from the counter.
At first, Yang Jing could not think that this meal would cost one or two thousand yuan. After the calculation, the Maotai bottle was only 161 yuan. Although the retail price in the store outside was about ten yuan higher than the retail price in the store outside, 161 yuan was really too cheap.
In fact, what Yang Jing didn't know was that two thousand years ago, the national liquor, Maotai, was sold at a national price. In 1988, the retail price of Maotai was 145 yuan per bottle. This price lasted for a full twelve years, and it was not until 2000 that the retail price of Maotai rose to 220.
Before 1995, the price of a bottle of Moutai was basically lingering between 145 and 50...
After the bill was settled, Yang Jing and Lao Xue walked out. Lao Xue obviously drank a little too much. While riding a tricycle, he shouted hysterically, "I'm chasing you for thousands of miles, but you don't care..."
In January this year, "Yanjing People in New York" was released, and Brother Huan's song was immediately popular all over the country. It was obvious that Lao Xue was also conquered by this song.
The two of them did not go home directly, but went to the market.
Although the ghost market has ended long ago, there are still many people setting up stalls in the market. Yang Jing also wanted to take advantage of the afternoon hours to stroll around, while Lao Xue was preparing to clean up the stall and go home.
The two of them made a goodbye when they had dinner and separated.
Yang Jing was wandering around the market with ease, but he didn't know that something that almost made him unable to go back was happening quietly...
