Chen Wanrong was in a good mood. The meal was very delicious. After a while, he finished a large bowl of mutton soaked pancakes. He put down the bowl very comfortably and let out a light burp. He was really satisfied.
The Hu boy brought two and a half cups of hot water on a wooden tray, one cup each and a small bowl in front of Chen Wanrong and Chen Zairong. Chen Wanrong didn't understand what he was seeing. He saw Chen Zairong pick up half a cup of hot water, take a sip, rinse it in his mouth, and then spit it into the empty bowl. Suddenly I realized that in the Tang Dynasty, there were no napkins for wiping your mouth, and silk scarves were too expensive for a small restaurant like this. So I just gargled with a cup of hot water, which was convenient and practical. I admired the attentiveness of the Hu Ren Guan.
This kind of meticulous thinking and considerate service is the treatment of a hotel. A country restaurant has such a service attitude, and Chen Wanrong can't help but sigh.
After looking around the store, the diners who had finished their meals rinsed their mouths with hot water before leaving. They spit the mouthwash into the bowl instead of spitting everywhere, and they didn't throw the leftover food around. Instead, they piled it neatly on the table. Therefore, although there were many people in the store, it was very clean and refreshing. Chen Wanrong has personally seen some small rural shops in modern society. The ground is full of garbage, as if it is a garbage dump. The cleanliness and hygiene cannot be compared with that of a barbarian restaurant.
People in the Tang Dynasty had good living habits, unlike us who spit everywhere, throw cigarette butts, and peels everywhere. Chen Wanrong unexpectedly discovered another virtue of the Tang people.
After rinsing his mouth and settling the bill, Chen Wanrong left the store. The foreign boy walked to the door and said with great enthusiasm, "Sir, please go away! Please come often!"
With such attentive service and enthusiastic attitude, it would be impossible not to come here often. Chen Wanrong turned his head and looked at the Hu Renguan, with a feeling of reluctance in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the allusion of "Southern Orange and Northern Orange".
Oranges are sweet and delicious in the south where the water and soil are suitable, but they are bitter and bitter in the north where the water and soil are not suitable. The Hu people have always been regarded as "uneducated and ignorant of etiquette" and were dismissed as barbarians. In the Tang Dynasty, they It is really amazing to eat the same food as us, speak Chinese, practice Chinese etiquette, wear Chinese clothes, be polite and warm-hearted.
?Perhaps, this is the extraordinary thing about the education, civilization and etiquette of a great country. Barbarians can become gentlemen!
No wonder Western scholars exclaimed: The Chinese have the magic weapon to assimilate the conquerors! All the foreign races that conquered the Central Plains were eventually assimilated, because the Chinese civilization has a long history, is broad, profound, and splendid!
Although it was just a snack, not a delicacy, Chen Wanrong was in a good mood. This meal was extremely comfortable. It was even more satisfying than the delicacies. He was sweating a little after eating, and his body was warm, as if he was carrying a baby. The stove, the cold wind blowing on the body is not cold at all.
Chen Zairong beside him was just like him, extremely satisfied and exhaling gently, as if he had too much heat and was eager to vent it.
There was a "Zhong's Lime Shop" in front, and Chen Wanrong walked over with brisk steps. Before I even got to the shop, I smelled a strong smell of lime. Chen Wanrong twitched his nose involuntarily and entered the shop.
There are mountains of lime in the shop, lumps of quicklime, and hydrated lime produced by chemical reactions after absorbing moisture in the air. They are as loose as flour and scattered in the corners.
Many people are buying lime. The store owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, busy greeting customers. Under his command, two clerks are busy helping customers move and load lime. The white lime dust is stained on their bodies. Puff, it's comparable to that Hu man who makes Hu cakes.
Lime is a convenient and applicable building material. Lime, like cement, is a major event in the history of construction. It is precisely because of lime that our living environment is more comfortable, dry, well-ventilated, and suitable for home use.
Our ancestors were using lime in the seventh century BC, and we are still using it today. This is one of the precious treasures left to us by our ancestors.
Lime is very common in daily life, so ordinary that it does not attract our attention, but its white color is very popular among literati. Yu Qian, a great statesman in the Ming Dynasty, had a famous poem "Ode of Lime". In the poem, he wrote, "Thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning them as if it were nothing. I am not afraid of being shattered into pieces. I want to leave my innocence in the world."
Yu Qian made his ambition clear with his poems. Even if his body was burned by fire, he still wanted to remain innocent in the world, and he did it.
Different from Yu Qian, the Tang Dynasty monk Shi Shaotan's "Lime Poems" wrote about the functions of lime: "The furnace Tao has been trained by myself, and it is very hard and discouraged. The empty palace is built to bear the power of the canal, and the water and mud are combined to make a "Return." This poem well expresses the great role of lime in our daily life.
"Little brother, do you want lime?" The shop owner came up to him and greeted him with a smile on his face, not forgetting to promote himself: "The lime here is very useful."It is a good product with excellent quality. If it is too careful, you can return it if it is not useful. The villagers made cesspits and built houses all from me. "
After listening to his sales pitch of guaranteed returns and exchanges, Chen Wanrong felt as if he had returned to modern society to participate in a product promotion meeting. He felt friendly and thought that this sales art is the same everywhere. Our ancestors used it like this in the Tang Dynasty. Skillful.
Just when Chen Wanrong changed his mind, he heard a thick voice shouting: "Shopkeeper Zhong, I'm not sure about this piece. I brought it to you." A farmer in his twenties took it out of the basket on his back. A piece of lime weighing four to five kilograms is still limestone because it was not fired for enough time and was not carefully polished.
"Okay, brother Xiao, put it over here." Shopkeeper Zhong didn't feel embarrassed at all by returning the goods in front of so many people, and greeted him warmly.
The farmer named Xiao hesitated and said: "Weigh it first, and then you can change it for me."
"Weigh it very well, it's almost five kilograms. I'll give this piece to you." Shopkeeper Zhong happily picked up a piece of lime weighing seven or eight kilograms and handed it to the farmer named Xiao.
The farmer surnamed Xiao hurriedly refused: "Shopkeeper Zhong, this won't work. I'm afraid your piece is not only seven or eight kilograms, but several kilograms too much. You are at a huge disadvantage."
"Would you rather suffer a loss or not? It doesn't take much time for you to move here and there. I'll compensate you for the extra work. That's it." Shopkeeper Zhong put the lime in the basket on the back of the farmer surnamed Xiao.
The farmer surnamed Xiao was stunned for a while, and then he praised: "Shopkeeper Zhong, you are very interesting. I have something to do, so I will leave first."
"Okay! Way to go! Come often!" Shopkeeper Zhong waved his hand enthusiastically.
The farmer surnamed Xiao was very moved and waved to Shopkeeper Zhong: "Shopkeeper Zhong, you are so kind. I will definitely take care of your business." He left with a brisk pace, carrying a basket on his back.
If you change it, you can change it. There is no one word, which is called integrity business! It's not like the merchants in modern society. They greet you with a smile when you're shopping, but have a cold face when something goes wrong. If there is a problem with the mobile phone you buy, you have to go to the authoritative department for testing and replace it with the quality report. Or you wait two weeks before changing, and after two weeks there will be two weeks, and two weeks again, and then the end of the world will come when the matter is settled.
Chen Wanrong sighed and said: "I want thirty kilograms." According to the law of mass conservation, to make ten kilograms of caustic soda, almost ten kilograms of lime is enough. Chen Wanrong admired shopkeeper Zhong's straightforwardness in his heart. , I asked for an extra twenty kilograms.
"Two pennies and a pound, thirty kilograms is seventy-five pennies. Brother, I see you are the first to come back. Once you are born, you will be familiar again. From now on, you will take more care of my business. If you don't want five pennies, you can give me seventy pennies." ." Shopkeeper Zhong knocked off the change in one bite. Five cents can buy a pound of meat, which is a lot. It's really refreshing.
It always makes people happy to deal with cheerful people. Chen Wanrong said cheerfully: "Okay, seventy cents is seventy cents." He took out the money and checked the account.
By the time Chen Wanrong finished the account, Chen Zairong had already weighed the lime, put it into a backpack and carried it on his back. Chen Wanrong said hurriedly: "Zairong, you are injured, let me do it."
Chen Zairong shook his shoulders and didn't care at all: "Brother, this is nothing."
He wanted to insist that Chen Wanrong had no choice but to let him. He said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhong and went to buy another thirty kilograms of soda ash. Finally, I went to the vegetable market and bought five kilograms of meat, three kilograms of ribs, a red-tailed carp, and a jar of wine before I went home happily.
Chen Wanrong is smart, confident, knowledgeable, and eloquent. He is very eye-catching. Walking with him on the street is particularly joyful. Chen Zairong had never felt this way before, and he was very happy. He took care of everything and carried everything on his back. Chen Wanrong, the person in charge, had nothing to do.
Passing by Zhang Deming¡¯s blacksmith shop, he saw General Tie guarding the door and the door was locked. Chen Wanrong thought that he must have gone to see his master, Master Ye. Go early and come back early, I'm waiting for the steel to be used in chemical engineering, Chen Wanrong secretly told Zhang Deming in his heart.
Chen Zairong is very strong. To him, sixty or seventy kilograms of stuff is like four taels of cotton. It is very easy for him. From time to time, he jogged a few steps, jumped a few times, and said with infinite joy: "Brother, do you know? This is the first time you have bought so many things home! Five pounds of meat, three pounds of ribs, a fish, a jar of wine, There is also lime soda ash, which weighs dozens of kilograms. It must be a full load. My parents are so happy when they know about it."
They all eat from the same pot. Chen Zairong doesn¡¯t care about the quantity of the things. He is happy about the extraordinary significance contained in these things: Chen Wanrong is completely different now. He is more capable and has begun to make money for his family!
??Who is a younger brother who doesn¡¯t want his elder brother to achieve success? Chen Zairong asked excitedly: "Brother, are you going to do caustic soda when you get home?"
Chen Wanrong nodded and said: "Yes!"
"Brother, we have to go back quickly. I really want to see rocks growing in the water." Chen Zairong quickened his pace, and Chen Wanrong hurriedly followed. The two brothers hurried home.
