Chapter 17 Treat each other with courtesy
Lin Jun stood in the pavilion in the community garden for a while, thinking about He Wenquan's words of scolding Nangong Yun, "He made a ball!" and smiled bitterly. He clearly remembered that when he asked He Wenquan to repay the money and was about to quit ten years ago, He Wenquan also said to him, "Make a ball!" He shook his head helplessly, and slowly walked out of the pavilion and walked home.
Lin Jun knew that Chen Ying would definitely not let him go to bed tonight, and he himself was not interested, so he returned to his room. After all, he was old, he slept less, and Nangong Yun's phone call made him feel very panicked in his heart, and he didn't feel a little sleepy when he lay in bed.
He turned on the TV hanging on the wall opposite the foot of the bed, looking for a series to distract himself. He felt that his head would explode if he thought about it again, but even if he wanted to explode his head, he knew that he couldn't think of a solution.
He chose a "New World" starring Sun Honglei on TV that had just been released for a few days, because Sun Honglei was an actor he had always liked. In Lin Jun's view, Sun Honglei has a domineering spirit with a bit of evil spirit, but it also gives people a sense of justice. Even if he plays the big brother of the underworld, Lin Jun feels that he is full of positive energy. He often fantasizes that he can be as arrogant as Sun Honglei's character, and he also wants to be like a big brother in society with countless younger brothers. You can run rampant in the countryside, you can fight grievances, and you can kill the rich and help the poor. Sun Honglei's various roles have brought countless beautiful fantasies to Lin Jun.
"I'll tell you one thing, October is the best weather. The wind comes from the northwest, the leaves go south, and strangers get close to ,......" when the ending song of "New World" comes to mind on TV. Lin Jun got out of bed and took advantage of this time to go to the bathroom, so that he could come back and watch the second episode.
Lin Junyi came back, and Ayunga was still singing on TV: "Why don't I remember how you came, why I don't remember how you left, I remember that I put my life in your hands." I remember you were a little upset, we are not strangers, even if we are strangers, strangers are close. ”
Lin Jun listened to the lyrics and thought: I don't remember how I came, and I don't remember how to go. I handed over the money to you He Wenquan, you are still not happy, we are not strangers, we should be friends, right?
The scrolling subtitles at the bottom of the TV screen attracted Lin Jun's attention: China's XXX, XXX and other provinces and cities have successively launched a second-level response to major emergencies.
Seeing that his province had also launched a second-level response to major emergencies, Lin Jun's heart suddenly cooled, and Sun Honglei couldn't arouse his interest. He is not at all like He Wenquan and Lawyer Liu's thoughts when they see the news, he is not happy, only lost.
Lin Jun believes that the matter of going to apply for a loan as soon as the Spring Festival is over as soon as He Wenquan said just now is estimated to be suspended, and the municipal plan to be announced after the festival in Jiang'an City is also suspended. He strongly felt that this snow disaster would definitely affect the whole holiday, and he thought back to the arrangements of the snow disaster ZF many years ago. I feel that the Spring Festival holiday will definitely be extended because of this disaster, and if the snow does not stop, the holiday may be extended for a long time. In that case, who cares if your land appreciates or not. All creditors are only concerned about one question: when are you going to give them money.
When Lin Jun thought of this, he felt disheartened, and wished that he would be buried alive by the snow immediately and die.
But after thinking about it, why did He Wenquan feel that it was okay? Could it be that he had any other way?
Lin Jun thought that since he participated in He Wenquan's acquisition plan, he has been living on a tightrope for more than ten years, and as long as the wind blows, he may fall into the abyss at any time. They are desperately trying to protect themselves at any time, and they have never lived a day of stability, and they are worried every day. He Wenquan is always borrowing the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the company's operating expenses are maintained by the income of a hotel, which is basically beyond his means. Nominally he was managing the finances, but he had never seen the time when there was money on the books. Just had a little income, and he was either spent by the reception, or was deducted by the bank's short-term loan interest, and he was basically a bare-bones commander with no money. He clearly remembers that at the end of 2013, in order to pay 1.2 million yuan in interest and employees' salaries, he sold all the houses in his name in the provincial capital behind Chen Ying's back to support the company.
I remember that in the summer of that year, He Wenquan asked him to drink tea in the pavilion of the headquarters by the small lake in Guihuagou.
"Lao Lin, this is the Wuyi rock tea given by a friend of mine, can you taste it and see what is the difference from other teas?" He Wenquan used the spirit leopard pot fired by Xu Xiutang, the heir of the Zisha family in Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu, that he spent a lot of money to make tea that day. He mixed a cup for Lin Jun and said proudly: "This tea has to be brewed in such a pot." ”
Lin Jun picked up the teacup and looked at it. "I don't know much about drinking kung fu tea, but I heard that your teapot was collected at a great price. ”
"Of course, this is the spirit leopard pot fired by Xu Xiutang, do you know how much money he has a teapot that has been auctioned off?" He Wenquan asked Lin Jun with a shock.
"How much?" Lin Jun asked curiously.
"More than 37 million. After He Wenquan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jun, "Expensive, right?"
After hearing this, Lin Jun carefully admired the spirit leopard pot from the top of the tea tray. "Then I'll have to take a good look at your teapot."
He Wenquan saw that Lin Jun was interested, so he introduced: "This spirit leopard pot has made the majesty of a leopard, and my spirit leopard pot Xu Xiutang himself said that he created the first model of the spirit leopard series, and it is also the earliest one, and there are few stocks on the market." He Wenquan pointed to the teapot lid in Lin Jun's hand and said: "Look at the beauty of this leopard, the pot is shaped like a leopard's head, and it integrates other elements of the leopard's body. The lid of the pot and the pot joint, with a few ring lines to draw the leopard's eyes, the front of the cover is slightly convex, it is the leopard's head eyebrow bone, look here, the body of the pot is dotted, is the face of the leopard. The markings are juxtaposed with several horizontal stripes, which are for the leopard's whiskers. The spout is slightly curved, it is a leopard's round nose, the handle is high, to the bottom is curled, it is a leopard's tail, the whole pot is integrated into the leopard's whole body, and it looks majestic, and there is movement in the stillness. ”
"It's really!" Lin Jun became excited when he heard this, feeling that there was a live spirit leopard jumping in front of his eyes.
"Do you know how much temperature it takes to make this pot?" He Wenquan asked as he looked at Lin Jun.
"I don't know" Lin Jun thought to himself, boiling water is only less than 100 degrees Celsius, and it should not exceed two or three hundred degrees Celsius.
"The kiln temperature should be 1180 degrees Celsius. He Wenquan said proudly and asked, "Do you know the origin of the purple clay pot?"
"I don't know," Lin Jun looked a little embarrassed.
"Then I'll give you some knowledge. He Wenquan drank a cup of tea, put down the teacup and filled the teacups for himself and Lin Jun, and motioned to Lin Jun, "Come, drink and say." ”
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the villagers in Dingshu Town went out early and returned late, ploughed the fields to do farm work, and used clay to make bowls and pots for daily use in their spare time. In this way, they live a carefree and simple and ordinary life. One day, a strange monk appears in their town. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Rich royal soil, rich royal soil", and the villagers looked at this strange monk with curiosity.
The monk noticed the confusion in the eyes of the villagers, and said, "If you are not a royal family, you can't be rich?" , people were even more puzzled, and watched him walk around. The strange monk raised his voice and walked briskly, as if there was no one around. There were some knowledgeable elders who thought he was strange and walked with him, and walked to Huanglong Mountain and Qinglong Mountain. Suddenly, the monk vanished. The elders searched around and saw several newly opened caves with clay of various colors. The elder brought some colored clay home, beat it and cast it, and magically fired pottery of a different color from before. One to ten, ten to hundred. In this way, the purple sand pottery slowly formed, and we have the teapot we have today. He Wenquan continued: "Of course, the teapot still has to be raised. There are three steps that need to be taken: warm up, lower the fire, and be reborn. ”
"It's so complicated?" Lin Jun asked curiously.
"It's actually simple. He Wenquan picked up the teacup and drank it all. "Warm-up: It is to rinse the purple sand teapot you just bought back with boiling water inside and outside to remove the dust on the surface, and then put the teapot into a pot without oil stains, add water at 3 times the height and boil for two hours, so that the earthy smell and fire of the teapot will be removed. Reduce the heat: Put the tofu in the teapot and boil it for 1 hour with double the water. The gypsum contained in tofu has the effect of reducing fire and can decompose the residue of the teapot. Rebirth: The last step is to pick your favorite tea leaves and cook them in a teapot for 1 hour. Preferably Longjing tea. In this way, the teapot is no longer a "lifeless" dead thing, after being reborn, it absorbs the essence of tea, and the first brew of tea can already make the tea people's teeth and cheeks fragrant. ”
Lin Jun listened to it in a daze, and seeing He Wenquan's eyebrows fluttering, he felt that there must be something to ask him for today, most likely to find him to find a way to get money. Lin Jun knew that there was no money in the account now, and at the end of the year, there was a bank interest to be paid, and employee wages to be paid, and he was also worried. I think it's better not to mention this matter, and let He Wenquan figure out a way by himself. followed the topic of He Wenquan and said: "He Dong, this teapot has increased my knowledge." So do you have anything to say about this Wuyi Cliff tea?"
"Does it taste good?" He Wenquan saw that Lin Jun was interested in tea, so he knew that it was right to find him today, and he must be able to move him to sell the house in the provincial capital today to relieve the financial pressure at the end of the year.
"Come, have another drink, and listen to me slowly..... Come on!" He Wenquan played a Beijing accent, dressed as an old student in Peking opera, his left hand slid down with his long beard from under his face, and his right hand held a teacup and stretched forward, and then raised slightly upward. He dragged the word "Dao" for a long time before he spit out the word "come".
