Tang Jiancheng came to the countryside and the state-owned hotel had just opened.
Master Liao was in the kitchen instructing other employees to work when he suddenly saw Tang Jiancheng and walked over with a smile on his face, "Oh, Tang Jiancheng, you haven't been here for a while? What have you been busy with recently? Are you going again? Did you get any good stuff?"
While talking, he handed Tang Jiancheng a cigarette.
"Master Liao, I'm sorry, I quit smoking."
Tang Jiancheng waved his hand and refused, sighing: "How can there be so many good products in this world of ice and snow? I have been warming myself by the fire at home these days, not daring to go out! By the way, where is Manager Huang?"
Seeing that Tang Jiancheng really refused to take the cigarette, Master Liao's eyes flashed, and he didn't insist anymore. Instead, he put it into his mouth, lit it, and took a deep puff.
The chef can only smoke one at this time. Once he comes to work, he cannot smoke. Otherwise, he will easily suffer complaints from customers, and in serious cases, he may be fired by the boss.
It's no different now than it used to be.
Although state-owned hotels still have the word "state-owned" on them, they are no longer iron rice bowls!
"Manager Huang will probably be here soon."
Master Liao said something and then smiled, "Tang Jiancheng, you are now a famous person in Sanchong Township! People say you are a master of hunting, fishing, and cattle catching! If you become prosperous in the future, , but don’t forget us old acquaintances!”
"Hahaha, that's all nonsense told by others. I'm not an expert. I'm just a blind cat who met a dead mouse and got lucky!" Tang Jiancheng said modestly.
"You are too humble. You have no strength. Even if you have luck, it will be useless..."
As Master Liao was talking, he saw Huang Tianyue walking in, wrapped in thick cotton clothes and hunched over.
Huang Tianyue looked up, saw Tang Jiancheng, and said hello quickly, "Brother Jiancheng? When did you come? Made, it's so cold! I wish I could wear a three-layer cotton-padded jacket and shiver with cold!"
"Let's go to my office!"
"Master Liao, ask your apprentice to bring me a pot of burning charcoal fire."
Afterwards, he took Tang Jiancheng to his office.
The office is relatively spacious, with a desk, bookcases, coffee table, and mahogany sofa. There are also some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. It looks like that.
"Brother Jiancheng, what kind of tea do you want to drink? I have green tea, scented tea, black tea, and a small can of coffee. How about I get you some coffee to try?"
Huang Tianyue deliberately proposed coffee just to see Tang Jiancheng's reaction.
If Tang Jiancheng doesn't know about coffee, it means that Tang Jiancheng is just a farmer with some abilities and special abilities, and he doesn't have much knowledge. Then there are some things that you can't talk to him about in depth.
If Tang Jiancheng knows, it means that Tang Jiancheng is definitely not an ordinary farmer and is worthy of his deep friendship.
"Coffee is too bitter, even bitterer than the Kuding tea at home. However, this thing is precious and I have never tasted it. If possible, I would like to try it." Tang Jiancheng sat down on the sofa and gently smiled.
Since you know that coffee is bitter, but you say you have never tasted it, who will believe it?
Huang Tianyue rolled his eyes.
At the same time, he also understood that Tang Jiancheng was aware of his little thoughts and was a little dissatisfied, so he said this.
"Gold is expensive, no matter how expensive it is, it's not just a drink."
Huang Tianyue made a cup of coffee for Tang Jiancheng, took a few pieces of candy and threw it into the cup, and then brought it to Tang Jiancheng's face with both hands.
"Thanks."
Tang Jiancheng expressed his thanks, then picked up the spoon and shook it gently.
Looking at his posture, Huang Tianyue immediately understood that this was a master who was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable!
"Brother Jiancheng, I originally planned to go find you today."
Huang Tianyue suddenly became more enthusiastic, and even put himself in a relatively low position, "I sold all your four cows. I asked friends in the city to kill the meat seller directly. It turns out that we It was calculated based on one yuan and eighty cents per catty, and one thousand catties per cow. In fact, the price he gave me was two yuan per catty. Some of the four cows were heavy and some were light, but overall it was more than four thousand catties. , an extra two hundred and thirty-one pounds."
"If you calculate it like this, the four cows were sold for a total of 8,462 yuan. Then, I can't work in vain, so I will just charge the difference of 10 cents. Brother Jiancheng, what do you think? "
Tang Jiancheng said: "This is what it should be. You really can't work in vain! Will it be just a dime less? Otherwise, you can take all the difference of two cents."
Huang Tianyue smiled, "Hahaha, brother Jiancheng, you are so generous!"
"Actually, in addition to cattle, there are also fish, especially the giant fish. I also made a lot of money."
"Listen and I'll do the math for you slowly."
In order to speak more clearly, Huang Tianyue found a pen and paper and wrote while speaking.
"Let's talk about the cow first. According to what I just said, I should compensate you 631 yuan."
"Then we talked about fish. We collected a total of 3,756 kilograms at a price of 2 yuan and 50 cents. After selling them to a big hotel, they looked at my face and gave me a price of 3 yuan per kilogram. , this can be regarded as a very high price. However, since they are willing to give it, I will definitely accept it. Therefore, for this piece, I will collect a profit of one catty and three cents, and give you an additional one catty and two cents. This is Seven hundred and fifty-one dollars and two cents.”
"The last one is the giant fish, this one is worth the money!"
"They didn't calculate the money by the catty, but directly gave me five thousand yuan! If you calculate it, it's almost five yuan per catty. It's really because the fish was too big and rare, so it was directly paid by a rich guy. Bought."
"So, for this piece, I will take one-tenth of the profit, and then give you 4,500 yuan."
"Total all together, I will give you five thousand eight hundred and eighty-two yuan and two cents."
"Brother Jiancheng, do you have any questions?"
Huang Tianyue wrote out the total and looked up at Tang Jiancheng.
Tang Jiancheng smiled and said: "You calculate so clearly, how could there be a problem?"
"That's okay." Huang Tianyue went to the desk, took out a stack of Tuanjie and Mao tickets from the drawer, and then counted the money to Tang Jiancheng.
Tang Jiancheng only took 5,880 yuan, and didn't ask for the remaining 2 yuan or 20 cents.
Huang Tianyue didn't say much. It was only two yuan or two cents. If he pushed it back and forth, it would be too low.
"Come on, Tianyue, let's go drink!"
Tang Jiancheng shook off the money in his hand and smiled.
Huang Tianyue also smiled and said: "Hahaha, brother Jiancheng, you really should treat me to a drink, because another great thing has happened to you."
Tang Jiancheng was startled, "What a great thing?"
Huang Tianyue said: "Among the four cows you sold, one has a bezoar in its body! Moreover, the weight is not light, reaching about two hundred and seventy grams!"
"Really?" Tang Jiancheng was overjoyed, "You mean, after they get the bezoar, they are still going to give me part of the money?"
Originally, the cow was sold, and even if there was bezoar in the cow, it was impossible to share the money with the original owner.
Obviously, those people who were willing to share part of Tang Jiancheng's money did so for Huang Tianyue's sake!
This is the benefit of getting to know the second generation of officials!
