Chapter 43: Lighters
In the hall of the main room of the courtyard, Mu Fan leaned on the back of the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, smoking a cigarette with an intoxicated face while moving the lighter in his hand. As Mu Fan imagined, the smoke and fire engine placed in the system backpack can be extracted and used, and this small experiment also shows that Mu Fan's idea can be completely feasible.
"The big deal is coming, and my spring is coming. Mu Fan raised his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, very excited and happy. He was going to take the small object of the lighter first, and find his master Jiao Xiang to explore the wind. After all, in Shangqing, Fang Mufan is a person who is not familiar with life, has the heart and money to buy these rare things, and he doesn't know anyone.
But Jiao Xiang is different, his circle is very wide, and the number of rich people he knows is countless, Mu Fan can take advantage of the master's east wind to open up the market. The most important point is that Jiao Xiang treats Mu Fan sincerely, no matter what the situation, he will not deceive himself. As for Jiao Xiang asking about the source of the lighter, Mu Fan also thought about how to answer.
As depicted on the teleportation map, Shang Qingfang's territory is very vast, and with its means of transportation, it is impossible to travel through it without three or five years. Not to mention the area of the entire six districts of Xudu, which has all kinds of customs and strange specialties, few people must be able to understand them all. As long as Mu Fan casually made up a remote city with a long distance, it was easy to hide Jiao Xiang.
After thinking about it in his heart, Mu Fan made up his mind and went to the mansion tomorrow morning to visit the master. Not only for business exploration, but also for the phased tasks released by the system, which can be successfully completed with the assistance of Jiaoxiang.
Mu Fan took the last puff of his cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and then blew the lamp and came to the bedroom. The last time he rented a house, he had already prepared the futon and other things, lay down on the soft bed, and Mu Fan closed his eyes to rest.
It wasn't until the next day, after the sound of roosters, that Mu Fan woke up. Carrying a wooden bucket to the well in the northwest corner of the courtyard, he fetched water and washed up briefly. Then he walked out of the courtyard and walked towards Jiao Xiang's mansion. When walking through the street, Mu Fan wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, but when he touched his pocket, he remembered that his silver ticket had been spent and he was now penniless.
"Wait, brother will soon become the richest person in Shang Qingfang. Mu Fan touched the lighter in his arms and came to Jiaofu happily.
At this time, the gate of the house had been opened, and when I looked inside, several house slaves in green clothes were cleaning the front yard with brooms. Mu Fan straightened his clothes, stepped up the steps, and walked into the door with his hands behind his back. Xiao Si, who was closest to Mu Fan, heard the sound of footsteps, looked up, and saw that it was Mu Fan, so he was slightly stunned and hurriedly ran over.
"Young Master Mu, you're here. Xiao Si bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "I'll go to report to the lord and the lady." ”
"No need, where is the lord and the lady, I'll just go over. "Mu Fan is Jiao Xiang's apprentice, and it makes sense to omit this link.
"Tea in the main hall. Xiao Si replied.
"Well, you go get busy. After Mu Fan finished speaking, he walked to the front of the main hall, Jiao Xiang and Mrs. Wang, who were drinking tea and eating snacks, saw Mu Fan as soon as they raised their eyes. Both of them looked happy, and Mrs. Wang waved her hand at Mu Fan again and again.
"The disciple meets the master, and the master meets the master. Mu Fan stepped into the house, lifted his robe and made a big salute.
"Get up. Jiao Xiang deliberately said with a straight face: "Stinky boy, I didn't say goodbye last time, I was about to trouble you." ”
"That was the last time, and I came here once in the middle, but you weren't there, master. Mu Fan got up and said with a smile.
"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so sit down, just together." Mrs. Wang turned her head to the maid behind her and said, "Tell Chef Li to serve some more snacks." ”
After the maid was ordered to go out, Mu Fan was not polite, and directly picked up Jiao Xiang's chopsticks, and stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth.
"Stinky boy, no big or small. Jiao Xiang scolded with a smile and asked, "Have the business at home been handled?"
"Almost. Mu Fan replied vaguely, and said while eating: "This time I came mainly to miss you and my wife, and there are two other small things that need to be done." ”
"I think it's mainly here to do errands, let's see that we're in passing. Jiao Xiang took a sip of tea and said obediently.
"How can it be, visiting the second elder is the most important thing. After Mu Fan finished speaking, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't have time to buy you a gift, I'll make it up next time." Mu Fan really forgot, he thought that it was a little inappropriate to come empty-handed this morning, but he couldn't go back to exchange for silver tickets, so he had to come over cheekily.
"It's good if you have this heart, your master and I don't lack anything, you don't have to break the bank. Mrs. Wang smiled indifferently.
"What your master said is right, this is your home, come if you want, buy anything. Jiao Xiang said: "Besides, we don't necessarily like the things we buy, and it's a pity to lose them if they are an eyesore, and it's very troublesome." ”
"Master, you still speak so straightforwardly. Mu Fan smiled bitterly.
"The master is a straight intestine, what's the matter, you can't get used to it now?" Jiao Xiang deliberately made a straight face.
"I'm used to it. Mu Fan hurriedly replied, "How dare I look down on you." ”
Mrs. Wang knew that the two of them were making trouble, so she smiled and didn't answer, but just pushed the new dim sum in front of Mu Fan and urged him to eat quickly.
The breakfast was very harmonious, and after eating and drinking, Mu Fan and Jiao Xiang looked at each other. The master and apprentice still have a tacit understanding, Jiao Xiang and his wife informed, and took Mu Fan to the study in the side courtyard.
After entering the house, Jiao Xiang sat down on the main seat, motioned for Mu Fan to sit down, and asked, "What do you want to discuss with your teacher?"
After Mu Fan turned around and closed the door, he smiled and said, "Master, I have a rare object here that I want to sell." ”
"Oh, what a rare object, show me it. Jiao Xiang also became interested.
"I just want to give you an eye, I just want to ask you to look at it first. Mu Fan paused for a moment and continued: "But before I take it out, I have to say something first. ”
"Something so mysterious. Jiao Xiang glanced at Mu Fan a little puzzled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”
"Master, this object of mine may be a little magical, but I can guarantee that I am definitely not a wizard, nor do I know any evil arts, after seeing it, you must not think too much about it, it is just a strange object. Mu Fan has to say it in advance, otherwise he will take out the lighter and make a little fire, and Jiao Xiang will classify himself as a charlatan, an evil family and a crooked person, and it will be troublesome.
"Why do I get more confused the more I hear this?" Although Jiao Xiang was a little surprised, he still gave an affirmative answer, "What kind of wizard and magic, I only know that you are my apprentice." Put your heart in your stomach and take things out. ”
"Hey. Only then did Mu Fan carefully take out the lighter from his arms, show it in front of Jiao Xiang, and said: "Master, this thing is called a spiritual water and fire fold out of nothing, and you can get a flame with just a light touch." ”
This name was made up by Mu Fan after thinking about it for a long time, and just as he was about to demonstrate it to Jiao Xiang, he heard Jiao Xiang say something that made him stunned.
"What came out of nothing, this ...... Isn't this a lighter?!"
