When Lu Dabao woke up, the "Lu's Special Cuisine Style Tour" had already reached the third link, that is, the "Charity Auction", the previous "Pastoral Song and Dance" and "Special Cuisine Tasting" two links, I heard that it was not bad, quite sensational, especially those very provocative "Bang Bang" dances, if it weren't for the stupid cow and others who tried their best to stop it, many heroic heroes would probably stage a restricted level in public.
"Silly, stupid cow, you tell the owner the truth, did he sell those special dishes?" Lu Dabao rubbed his aching head and said to the stupid cow guarding beside him with a weak heart. When he fell, he accidentally hit a stone on the ground, and he got a big bag and turned a large piece of red.
"Hehe, sold, all sold. Silly Niu'er smiled innocently and said lightly.
"Sell, sell? How much money do we sell? How much silver do we earn in total? How much can we lose after these days?" Lu Dabao heard this, and immediately grabbed the arm of the stupid cow and asked nervously.
Those dishes are not worth a few dollars, the cost of basket weaving is not very high, and the road expenses are also within the range of affordability, but hiring a coachman, hiring a dart master, hiring etiquette, renting a venue, and what publicity fees, makeup fees, decoration fees, etc., are not a joke, rough estimates, at least two or three thousand taels of silver, if you count those "special service" costs, I am afraid that I will not be able to go home without one or two thousand taels of silver.
Of course, these silver coins were paid in advance by Li Liang, saying that it was "investment in shares, profit dividends", it is estimated that the old boy has a very rich private collection, and he doesn't care about these three melons and two dates at all, but Lu Dabao knows in his heart that the more he gives, the more he will ask for himself in the future, if one day he has an accident, he owes him so much, how can he pay it back? I'm afraid that my life is far from enough, and it will become a major event that will harm his children and grandchildren!
"Hehe, you can count it yourself in a while, it's all piled up in the back hall. Silly Niu'er shook his head, smiled strangely, and said vaguely.
"Ahh Lu Dabao saw him with a twisted and emotional look, and couldn't help but be angry, no matter how small the mosquito is, it has meat, why don't you know how to cherish it?
"Hehe, I advise you not to go, that Aunt Yang is waiting for you there......" Silly Niu'er helped Lu Dabao up with a slight force in his hand, and then stepped aside, looked at him strangely and said.
"Aunt Yang, waiting for me, what is she waiting for me to do? Haven't all the expenses already been paid? Could it be that the old guy has added new projects?" Lu Dabao was a little confused, half a month ago, Li Liang directly used the money to smash her unconscious, all the expenses were paid off, and there was a lot of wealth, why did she hold the money bag tightly and block the door to find trouble now?
"Hehe, you'll know when you go......" Silly Niu'er didn't explain, but said vaguely.
"Well, then I'd better not go yet, in case she asks me for money, I'll give her something! What then, help me go to the front hall to see how the 'charity auction' is going on......" Lu Dabao twisted his brows and thought for a moment, then swallowed his saliva, grabbed the stupid cow's arm, and walked towards the front hall slowly.
Silly Niu'er was a little surprised, a little surprised, and a little enlightened by Lu Dabao's decision, but he didn't say anything more, just smiled lightly, and helped Lu Dabao to walk towards the noisy front hall.
"Fifty thousand silver, for the first time!"
"Fifty thousand taels, the second time!"
"Fifty thousand taels, deal! Congratulations to Chen Daguan!"
……
The "Tianzi No. 1" room where Lu Dabao rested is in the back hall, and if you want to go to the front hall, you must go through two corridors, then go down the stairs, bypass the room where the "Cuihong Mansion" handymen live, and then pass through a small courtyard, walk through a black rumbling corridor, and arrive. During this period, Lu Dabao was worried about a lot of things, his mind was confused and panicked, so he had no words, and the stupid cow had no idea of wanting to speak, so the two walked slowly and quietly.
No, as soon as I walked to the door of the corridor leading to the front hall, I heard the crisp voice of the special hostess "Winter Bamboo Shoots".
"Five, fifty thousand taels, what did he sell and sell at such a high price?" Lu Dabao was stunned at the door when he heard this.
"I don't know......" Silly Niu'er shook his head and said flatly.
"No, it can't be that Zhuangzi is being sold, right?" Lu Dabao thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of anything worth the price, except for his old nest.
"Hehe, owner, let's go in, standing at the door and guessing nothing, it's better to go in and take a look. Silly Niu Er said with an obscure smile.
"Wait, wait. What if he really sells Zhuangzi? Then wouldn't there be no room for regret at all when I show up? No, you have to hurry back to Zhuangzi on a fast horse to report the news, and let my daughter-in-law transfer all the valuable things to other places, so that there will be less losses. Lu Dabao stopped the stupid cow who wanted to enter the front hall, rolled his eyes and thought for a while.
"Huh?" Silly Niu'er was completely convinced when he heard this, Li Liang once said that this old boy was honest on the surface and slippery in his heart, but he didn't expect to slip to this one, this head was sloppy and delayed time, and that head quickly transferred his assets, even if he suffered a loss, he couldn't lose much, but he was slippery enough, no wonder his good brother-in-law asked him to be careful of this owner, it turned out to be not a fuel-efficient lamp!
"The money and goods are cleared, and the transaction is successful. Congratulations again to Daguan Chen for obtaining the strange medicine 'Qiankun Radish'!" When the stupid cow was stunned, the voice of "winter bamboo shoots" sounded again.
"Dry, Qiankun radish, what is that?" The voice of "winter bamboo shoots" was sweet and crisp, and high-pitched and hearty, although it was already very small from the front hall, but Lu Dabao could still hear it clearly, so he was very surprised to ask the stupid cow who had not moved at all.
"I don't know......" Silly Niu'er replied directly.
"When did our family have this good thing? Why don't I know?" Lu Dabao didn't expect to ask anything from his mouth, this buddy's mouth was very strict, if he didn't want to say anything, no one would be recruited.
"The eleventh item of the auction below, and the last item of this 'charity auction', blood tooth rice! Here I would like to tell you the great benevolent people and officials that this rice is a wonder of the fairy family, and it is all extraordinary, only because the ancestor of my family owner once saved a seriously injured monk, and only obtained a little, and then carefully cultivated, it can barely be planted in the mortal world, but it has removed the effect of seven or eight out of ten, although the medicinal properties are there, the divine power is completely gone, and I hope you will be cautious!"
"Let's start the auction, the rules are the same as the previous time, whoever auctions this product can get Lu's exclusive right to sell for ten years, 100 catties of blood tooth rice, and the supply of 1,000 catties of blood tooth rice every year, starting at 100,000 taels of gold, and now start to compete freely ......" Lu Dabao was still muttering, and the "winter bamboo shoots" in the front hall began the auction of the eleventh item.
"Much, much, how much, 100,000 taels of gold, that lady in my place......" Lu Dabao heard the offer of "winter bamboo shoots", only to feel that all the blood in his body rushed to his head at once, and it hurt so much, and there was a momentum of spurting out.
"Well, that, the owner, I remember that Lao Gan seemed to say that this auction is what it sells, it is traded in gold, and other items are not accepted, so, so I advise you not to be in a hurry, in case you faint again, what can you do with that summary speech later?"
"Then, the 50,000 taels just now are also gold?" Lu Dabao was very angry, and he didn't fall down after being stimulated so much, which was really a big surprise to the stupid cow.
"Well, but the price seems to be a little lower, Lao Gan said that it can be sold for 100,000 taels! I remember the first item that sold for the 'Xuantian cucumber', which sold for 80,000 taels!" The silly cow held back a smile and added some chips.
"Xuan, Xuantian cucumber?80,000 taels of gold?Where did this old man get it from?Didn't he dig up the ancestral grave of the old man of the Heavenly Emperor?" Lu Dabao wiped the nosebleed that kept coming out, and said with a wink.
"Hehe, then I don't know, but I see that these things don't look like they were cultivated from the outside, but the ones planted on our Zhuangzi. The silly cow squinted at him for a moment, and when he saw that he was still standing firmly, and had not fallen down, he said with a wicked smile.
"Let's have those Xuantian cucumbers, Qiankun radish, and bloody tooth rice planted on our Zhuangzi? Why haven't I seen them?"
"Boss, why haven't you seen it?
"Ah, that's all, that's all! Oh, this old boy is too good at fooling, right? Hey, tell me, what did this old boy do before, why can't he brag about it?"
"Then I don't know, but I do know that the things we brought should be sold!"
"Nonsense! I know that, and I know that I'll have to hire more cars to go back!"
"Hehe, the owner Yingming!"
"Okay, okay, don't follow the fun, what is not good to learn, you have to learn from the dead and learn to make sycophants......"
"I, I want to learn, but I just filmed it once, and I fucking slapped the horse's leg on the ......"
“……”
In the front hall of the "Cuihong Mansion", Li Liang and the transformed Jasmine and others sat in the southwest corner, watching every move of everyone in the lobby, and whispering a few words quietly from time to time.
"Xianggong, you, what do you mean by this? Could it be that there is some conspiracy in this?" Hearing that "Winter Bamboo Shoots" directly reported the name of "Bloody Tooth Rice", Jasmine was shocked in her heart, and asked in a low voice in surprise.
"There's no conspiracy, I just want to see how much movement will be caused by releasing this thing, hehe......" Li Liang pursed his lips and said very casually.
"Why is that?" Jasmine was even more confused, Li Liang has always done things with a purpose, never doing useless work, as long as he thinks carefully, he will be able to find clues, but in this matter, it is really a little incomprehensible.
"Hehe, in fact, it's nothing, I just want to see what it will be like to inject some poisonous diseases into this immortal law that can't be pierced by needles and can't be splashed with water. Li Liang said with a faint smile.
"What do you mean? Do you think of something again, just say something straightforward, why make it so mysterious!" Jasmine frowned and thought for a moment, but still couldn't come up with a reason, so she continued to ask with some anger.
Since marrying Li Liang as his wife, her temper has changed a lot, especially in getting along with others, it is a world of change, but although the change is very large, compared with the temperament she has cultivated over the years, it is still obviously not enough.
"Damn, I said, I said it's not okay!Auntie, there are a lot of people here, can you live a little in peace!" Seeing that Jasmine's eyes flashed with anger, and the cold chill continued to leak out, Li Liang hurriedly pressed her hand.
"Hmph, it's up to you to mess around, but if you don't tell me clearly if you have a plan, then it won't work!" Jasmine snorted coquettishly and pouted.
I don't know why, by Li Liang's side, she always likes to be coquettish, always likes to be coaxed, just like a naughty child, deliberately messing around and attracting the attention of adults, whether it is in exchange for comfort or reprimand, it can prove that they love themselves deeply.
"I know, I know, my aunt and grandmother!" ......Li Liang agreed sadly, and then slowly explained: "In this world, the law of the immortal path cannot be shaken, so although the years have passed, everything has barely evolved, some are just someone who advances to become a true immortal, a certain beast, a certain spirit incarnates into a human, who is old and who has achieved cultivation, who has become a great monk, who is small and who has a hard life, hiccups and so on. ”
"However, I am different, my thoughts, my culture, my insights, and even my soul, which is the source code, are out of step with this world. In this case, I can't help but ask, why did the master behind the scenes want to get me? What did he want to do with me? An accident? Unlikely, otherwise there would be no need for so many awesome people to stare at me. ”
"In the past, I was always full of complaints, complaining about the sky, lamenting the injustice of the sky, and resenting the mastermind behind the scenes for being too bad, but when I started to do things, I could endure it, and if I could hide, I would hide it, and it would be better to have more than one thing, and it would be better to have nothing to do with less things. ”
"And now, I finally got what I wanted, family, marriage, love, and a plain life, it stands to reason that I should be content, but I always feel very unsteady in my heart, and even a little panicked, think about it, I'm afraid it's because I get it that I will be uneasy. After all, you are my responsibility, and if you think less, there will be trouble, there will be problems. ”
"Of course, for me personally, endure the problems and troubles, hide and hide, even if I am played, played, or even slaughtered, admit that I am unlucky, it is not a big deal, but I can't do it for you, I will not allow anyone to hurt you a finger, so I will be uneasy, I will not be steady, and I will find ways to uncover this black curtain. ”
"At this point, my predecessor, that is, the owner of Furong, Nansheng, and Tianma, and Lily's good brother, probably has the same idea, otherwise he would not have arranged them all the way to me. In my opinion, there should be only one starting point for his thoughts, no matter what happens in the future, to find a way to crack it and keep them safe. ”
"I admire his decision, and if it were me, I would have done it. However, it is easier said than done, thinking carefully about what has happened recently, and the people you have met, you can see that the strength of the person behind the scenes is very strong, and he can mobilize anyone in this world without leaving a trace, your eldest sister can't do it, and your master can't do it. ”
"Reveal the mystery of the fairy road and protect the beloved, if these two points are my fate, then what is the fate of my predecessor? Your master created him, he will always have a purpose, and he will not be idle to create a person to play around, right? Moreover, his submissive character is not in line with normal people, maybe it was the mastermind behind the scenes who cast some spell to make him lose himself. ”
"Going further, eighteen kings, eighteen created me, each has a different fate, each has a bumpy experience, although the process is very complicated, but peeling off the branches can clearly see their life trajectory, according to this deduction, their fate can be guessed seven, seven, eight, eight. ”
"For example, the first one, born in a wealthy family, after the tragedy of the destruction of the door, entered the Tao with hatred, went through a lot of hardships, and finally saw through the red dust, and devoted himself to the immortal road, his fate is to preach the Tao, only by becoming an immortal can he get rid of the sea of suffering, and only by becoming an immortal can he become a human being, this truth is not difficult to guess. It's just that the story is well written, the actors are not very good, and I have different ideas and cultural backgrounds, so I won't cooperate obediently!"
"Therefore, there was a second, a third, a fourth, and until the eighteenth, which simply turned me into a mentally incomplete person, into a person who blindly retreated, and then let him enter the Tao by chance, with super luck, from the perspective of a mediocre peasant to understand the vicissitudes of the world, and contrast with the nobility of the immortal road. It's a pity that the old bastard overlooked one more thing, and that is life. ”
"I told you before that people are not plants and trees, they always have thoughts and feelings, even if they are a fool, they also have likes and dislikes. Although he is mentally incomplete, he loves life, creates the 'Farmer Ancestor Heavenly Rules', builds a 'Million Commune', and cultivates countless spiritual herbs and elixirs, all of which are not in the script, and it is natural to arrange a killing to erase it. ”
"As for why they survived, I think it was that the black hand was too confident, and when he created the Eighteen Kings, he didn't expect that there would be a day of failure, and he believed in it again and again, again and again, and even believed eighteen times in a row, and still died without repentance, and finally simply created me, a person who is much stronger than their eighteen people, in order to prove that his immortal path is right and invincible. ”
"Hehe, what the old bastard didn't expect was that after only more than a hundred years, I taught him a lesson, a painful lesson, and almost didn't collapse the 'Void Heaven Continent'! ”
"To be honest, I have long wanted to bear a responsibility like yours, I blame that old bastard, I have never given a chance, I have already made a beauty plan, Lao Tzu has long been from, why bother to make it so troublesome, waste so many raw materials, if it is all on me alone, let alone come three times in one night, even five circles, six circles, it is not a problem!"
"Oh, don't fight, don't fight! What, say the point, talk about the point, talk about the point right away! The reason why I put 'Bloody Tooth Rice' out is because I want to know what I can change. Although Lao Tzu fell for his beauty scheme, but Lao Tzu is a person in Cao Ying's heart in Han, let me want Lao Tzu to obediently sing praises to Ya, it can be, but we can't wait stupidly to be sold, at least we have to figure out which dog hole can slip away, in case Lao Tzu can't beat that extraterritorial demon, we have to leave a way back, right?"
"Hey, then again, I've been working very hard these days, how do your stomachs react? Even if it's a fart, you should let it out and listen to it! Oops, don't hit, don't hit......"
