It is indeed wise to make a fortune in silence. But if you get the benefits of others, you don't think about reciprocating it afterwards, and pretend to be confused, just like there is no such thing, that is a stupid move.

Come to think of it, taking advantage of a small advantage is only temporary. Whoever really does this, just rushes to be such a person, and next time there is a good thing, who will still think about you? Isn't it a watermelon and a sesame seed?

Obviously, Hong Yanwu would not act like this.

From a utilitarian point of view, he understands the importance of cultivating alliances of interest. From the point of view of virtue, although he is not a broad-minded person, he is willing to be a person who knows how to repay kindness.

So for Wang Hanping and Liu Guiyou, the two old carpenters, he will not forget.

In order to reward the two, he invited the two out for a meal. Each person was given an envelope with two hundred dollars in it.

Let's be honest. This is already taking into account the psychological tolerance of the other party, and deliberately giving less.

But I didn't expect the two old carpenters to be a little unbearable.

They don't want to live or die, not to say that they give too much money. He also claimed that he was supposed to do a favor. If you really want to thank you, it is enough for one person to buy two bottles of wine.

In the end, Hong Yanwu had no choice but to say that many of the old homes in the family were incomplete, and he had to trouble the two masters to take the time to take a look. Is this an advance of wages?

In this way, the two old carpenters were quite embarrassed to accept it.

Not to mention the people who used to play crafts. They didn't think about how much benefit Hong Yanwu had gained because of them, they just felt that they didn't have to do anything, and they got too much for nothing.

For this money, he turned around and was grateful to Hong Yanwu and felt that he owed him a share.

In fact, it is not only Wang Hanping and Liu Guiyou who are like this. Li Fu is the same.

On the afternoon of the day when Hong Yanwu invited the two old carpenters to dinner, Li Fu also went to Furuli to see Hong Lucheng.

After greeting and sitting down, before he could speak, Li Fu first put an envelope containing money on the table, and then pushed it to Hong Lucheng.

Hong Lucheng took it from the table and looked at it, and saw that there were dozens of banknotes inside, and he was confused.

"Lao Li, what do you mean by this?"

Li Fu had just raised the teacup, and when he heard it, he hurriedly took a sip and put it down.

"Hey, this is all given to me by Xiao Wu's child. At first, after the marriage, he came to me and gave me a hundred first. He said that he was thanking me for helping to organize the wedding feast. I said it's my job, I'm already getting paid every month, so I don't need it. But he still had to give it, I didn't want it, so the kid just left the money and left. ”

"After that, he never came to me. I thought about going back and waiting for the big guy to go to the old house for the festival, and then I would give him the money. But yesterday he came to me again, and this time he didn't take the money he put down last time, but he actually gave another two hundred, saying that he asked me to help, and wrote down the rules of the running hall and the tea room in the past......"

When Hong Lucheng heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"Oh, he said you should write the rules for running the hall and the teahouse, and is this money a reward?"

Li Fu hurriedly smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Yes, he said he wanted to know how our old shop used to do business. He also said that no matter how big or small, in fact, it is not limited to running halls and tea rooms, so that I can write whatever I can. I just said, if you want to know anything, you can ask me, I'll tell you it's over, why bother with this?"

"But guess what he said? What kind of history did he say that these things would be of great use in the future...... Inheritance is valuable knowledge. He said to listen to me, he also wanted to record, record, and organize. So it's better for me to write it out first, and he will see if there is anything he doesn't understand before asking and adding, which will save me a little more trouble......"

Hong Lucheng couldn't help but be disgusted when he heard this.

"Hey, kid, he's going to be lazy. This is the attitude of seeking knowledge? This is a nonsense that wants to be played out one by one. ”

Li Fu hurriedly defended Hong Yanwu.

"Don't, don't say that. What kind of knowledge am I, and the child's heart is sincere. Xiao Wu thinks about how to reopen the old shop every day, and he has big ambitions in his chest......"

These words touched Hong Lucheng's nerves.

"Wait...... Lao Li, what are you talking ......about? He's going to get this for the sake of reopening the old shop?"

Li Fu replied firmly.

"That's definitely right. I asked him, what kind of inheritance and knowledge are the rules of the running hall and the teahouse? The current rice Zhuangzi has long since stopped doing this. Now it's about paying first and then eating, and you don't need to pay for whomever with a smile. ”

But Xiao Wu said that was not right. He must have one day sooner or later, and he will have to change back to the operation of the restaurant, not only to fight for cooking skills, but also to fight for service, and to find ways to please the hospitality. He said that now he knows more about what the rice village did in the past, just to prepare for the day when he changes back in the future. Learning this is more useful than learning what is in the textbook, this is called restoring tradition, and the time-honored brand must have the appearance of the time-honored brand. ”

Later, I asked him again, and I said that no matter how much I recovered, I wouldn't need a tea room, right? Moreover, the customs have changed, and all the red and white things have long been simplified and handled by themselves. ”

But Xiao Wu also said that poverty is forced, and wealth is the pursuit of people. Who wants to settle for being exquisite? He also said that people have to have foresight. When the country is rich and the people are strong in the future, the biggest benefit will be in the red matter. Fan Zhuangzi will not only host wedding banquets, but also birthday banquets and full moon wine. He even has the heart to be the first restaurant in the capital that can organize a church meeting, and undertake all the business related to doing red things, so he must take precautions in advance, so as not to be caught blind when he gets it. ”

"You say that this kid can't think through it, and this ambition in his heart is still small? Just this ambition is worthy of praise. I can see that a 'Yanmei Building' is really not enough for him. I can't figure it out, he can completely restore the ancestral business of the Hong family, and he can still carry it forward......"

In our culture, flamboyance is despised, and humility is a virtue. So, like all parents, although happy to hear what others say about their children. But Hong Lucheng said that he couldn't afford it.

"Hey, Lao Li, you are exalting him too much. I think it's just a lot of rhetoric. It's useless to just say that you don't practice, you have to be able to do it. ”

Li Fu still insisted on seeing a few times and speaking with facts.

"Oh, look at what you said. Don't you know, he's outside, and his ability is too great, and if he doesn't have his help, he wants people to give people and things, and I can't do the wedding banquet. ”

"What's more, he's really concerned about this, but he doesn't just talk about it. I didn't expect that he used his camera to take pictures of the happy event that had just been done at home from the outside to the inside, from the ceremonial table, the tea table, the kitchen, the knot to the official seat. There must be 100 photos washed out, one is to keep the sample, and the other is for my reference, so as to supplement the necessary links. ”

"Don't say it, he really has an idea, pointing to the photo and telling me, can it be changed like this, is it okay to do that, it's really the way. This carefulness, this intention, is no different from when you were trading at the counter. In my opinion, among the children of the Hong family, he is the most like you, who is spiritual about buying and selling, and loves to drill ......

Hong Lucheng didn't expect it again. After a moment's silence, he seemed to be a little moved.

"Lao Li, since this is the case, then I will entrust you with a sentence. If you don't find it too troublesome, try to meet his request. ”

As he spoke, he pushed back the envelope that Li Fu had given him.

Li Fu was in a hurry again.

"Oh, don't you...... I'm happy to do this, not to mention that the child is interested, I'm glad to be able to help him. Let's just say that usually, I don't have anything to do, and writing about this can relieve my boredom. But I can't ask for this money. You forgot, I was taught by you to read and write, and this little thing in my stomach was also given by the Hong family. Just do such a thing, how can I ask the Hong family for money? No, no, no......"

But Hong Lucheng resolutely supported Hong Yanwu's approach in this matter.

"Oops, Lao Li. First of all, what the Hong family taught you was not self-created. From somewhere else, into your belly, that's naturally your stuff. Now you teach him in turn, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as teaching, and taking money should have been. What's more, that kid will never make a loss-making deal, he thinks about it himself. So since he gave it to you, you can take it, don't go out of the way. Again, you still have children and grandchildren, and you have to worry about it. It's always good to take care of it more......"
