Chapter 808: Tokens
The Yao family is a big family in the Northeast, that is, Yao Bo's family, and they speak very heavily in the Northeast. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This family is very strange, hardly involved in any business and politics, just rolling in the military field, and has produced quite a few high-level military talents and military weapons research talents.
Old man Yao had a good character and prestige all his life, but after he was old, he didn't expect Yao Bo, a rebel, to ruin his old man's reputation.
Although everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with the Yao family, it is all Yao Bo's behavior alone. But as a big family, the impact of any disciple's behavior will not be single, and they will usually be labeled as a family.
"Let's see each other." Meng Fan thought for a moment and said, "What is the relationship between you and Old Man Yao?" β
"He's my superior, half a master." Ouyang Fei said, "Actually, the old man has many protΓ©gΓ©s in the military field, and his prestige is also very high and respected. β
At the level of a large family, a person is very capable, may be feared, but not necessarily respected. Old Man Yao is respected, and there must be something commendable about it.
"Okay, you can arrange it." Meng Fan said, "By the way, how did your previous plan go?" β
The plan mentioned was actually proposed by Ouyang Fei, and the body is the foundation of a soldier, and this concept has been greatly embodied in Meng Fan's body.
"It's ongoing, it's a long-term project. After all, not everyone has a martial arts foundation and a good physique. Ouyang Fei changed the topic and said, "I'll help you arrange the old man's affairs." β
This project belongs to military secrets, and Ouyang Fei can't say too much, so he opened the topic.
"Yes, you can arrange it." Meng Fan nodded.
He knew that with his identity, there were many things that he couldn't ask, and the other party couldn't say, so he didn't mind.
The matter was really finished when it was almost dinner in the afternoon, and I received a lot of gifts today, and Jiang Zixue and Xiaoyu were opening the gifts.
For quite a few people, unpacking gifts is a very enjoyable process because it is full of surprises and surprises.
"Ah...... Uncle, come and see what this is. Xiaoyu shouted loudly after opening a gift.
This call attracted a lot of people to come.
Xiaoyu's hand was full of a golden sculpture, which was a huge jade ruyi.
"It's pure gold, who's so generous?" Long Xiaoyue touched it, she also had some research on things like gold and silver treasures.
Meng Fan took a look at the name on it, it was the name of a big tyrant in Bingcheng. This local tyrant himself is a broker, reselling a lot of things and making a lot of money. Now he is engaged in real estate, and he can be regarded as a prince.
"Take a picture of these gifts, keep them, and report them to the state. Don't let something happen to you. Meng Fan has not forgotten his identity.
He is not only a businessman, but also a state civil servant, and this kind of unknown property must be reported.
"Dad, this thing is so weird." Jiang Zixue also opened a gift, looked at it, and didn't see anything special.
Meng Fan took it, looked at it, and frowned.
"Wow...... It's a good thing, it looks like it's been around for some years. Long Xiaoyue snatched it and looked at it.
In fact, this is a palm-sized token, engraved with the word 'Meng' in ancient China. In addition to this, there are some unintelligible patterns.
"How did this thing come about?" Meng Fan asked strangely, "Miss Long, do you know where it comes from?" β
"It's not very clear, it's a flower on it, right? Or some kind of plant. In fact, in some ancient families in China, there are family emblems or tokens. β
Long Xiaoyue seemed to sense something, and hurriedly handed the thing to Meng Fan, "What does the person who sent this thing mean?" β
Meng Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, maybe some antique experts sent it here in order to please me?" But it's strange that he didn't leave a name either. β
Next, several people teamed up to remove the gift, while Meng Fan took the token and fell into deep thought.
What does it mean for the other party to suddenly send such a token?
It was definitely not given by my mother, because there is no need to be so mysterious. Then it may be someone from the Meng family, maybe the purpose is the same as Meng Chang, it is a declaration of war.
"Hey...... It would be nice if Sister Tang came here, and you can also ask. Meng Fan put away the token and sighed.
"Sister Tong, discuss with your Sister Gan to see if there is any place to go in Ice City, let's go play." Meng Fan did not forget the next game. If you go back like this, wouldn't Gan Jing and Jiang Zixue come for nothing?
Gan Jing and Lin Haitong took the map and began to check the travel guide on the Internet. Because Lin Haitong belongs to the locals, he knows a lot and is a good tour guide.
"Meng Fan, Old Man Yao has arranged it over there, do you have time now?" Ouyang Fei called over and said.
"The address you gave, I'll go over now." Meng Fan said.
Ouyang Fei said: "I'll pick you up, I haven't seen the old man of the Yao family for a long time." I'll be downstairs on your side in thirty minutes. β
Thirty minutes later, the two met, and Meng Fan asked, "Where is the place where we met this time?" I've got to buy something. β
"It's not a home visit, so I don't need to bring a gift." Ouyang Fei said, "As for where it is, you'll know in a moment." β
Soon, Ouyang Fei drove to a tea house, which was a snow tea house that many people drank in the Northeast before. There are plains, but there is no shortage of high mountains, because they belong to the cold zone, so the high mountains are covered with snow all year round, so there is a snow tea.
Generally, tea is made with water, tap water, or underground spring water, and there are also snow teas that use snow. Snow tea is a product of history, in ancient times, because the water resources in the north were not very abundant, many times the tea was made directly with snow. After the development of technology, this habit was gradually forgotten.
"I didn't expect there to be such a place in the Northeast. It's spring, the snow is starting to melt, and it's still like a harsh winter. Meng Fan looked around the neighborhood and found no circuit, let alone a product of modernization. Everything, it's like going back to ancient times.
"Yes, the terrain here is not very high, but it is covered with snow all year round, and there is no scientific theory at present. Mr. Yao likes cold climates, so most of the time, he is here. Ouyang Fei had great respect for Old Man Yao, which also gave Meng Fan a little more expectation.
"But it doesn't seem like there's anyone guarding here, isn't it? After all, the other party is a general-level retiree, and he is the pillar of the Yao family. Meng Fan looked around and asked strangely.
"You've found out. We also mentioned this to him, but he refused. Ouyang Fei said, "Let's go in." β
As soon as I entered the door, a teenage child in an overcoat was sorting tea leaves in the snow, which were frozen and hard in patches.
This is also one of the characteristics of snow tea, which uses iced tea leaves.
In fact, iced tea leaves are no different from ordinary tea leaves, but the temperature is lower. However, some people say that this can better preserve the aroma of tea, and I don't know if it's true or not.
"Who are the two?" When the child saw Meng Fan and Ouyang Fei, the expression on his face was very calm, not surprised, not confused, and even more unsuspecting.
"My name is Ouyang Fei, and I made an appointment with the old man." Ouyang Fei said.
The child nodded: "Please inside, the old man is inside." β
He didn't come to search or anything, he just let it in.
After Meng Fan followed in, he saw an energetic elderly man eating. The man was gray-haired, but he was in good spirits, and he was using a large bowl with a pot of tea next to it.
He sniffed it, it was the big red robe in the Wuyi Mountain oolong tea, which should belong to the special offering.
The environment in the Northeast is cold, and almost no tea is produced, and almost all tea comes from the south. In the past, when it was cold, rich families in the Northeast drank alcohol, and those who had no money drank boiled water.
What made Meng Fan feel strange was that the old man only had a bowl of rice in front of him, but there were no vegetables.
The old man raised his head, saw Meng Fan and Ouyang Fei, and said, "You guys came so fast? Come in and sit down. β
After saying this, the old man picked up the teapot, poured some tea into the bowl, and continued to eat.
Big red robe rice?
Meng Fan is a little confused, this old man's habits are really a bit strange.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but your figure is still so tough." Ouyang Fei said respectfully.
"You're pretty good, too." The old man nodded, giving people a very polite feeling, "You go back first, I'll talk to Mr. Meng." You don't have to wait for him here. β
"Old man, you can call me Xiao Meng, or Xiao Fan." Meng Fan hurriedly said modestly.
After Ouyang Fei left, he asked Lao Tzu to wipe his mouth and poured Meng Fan a cup of tea: "Try snow tea, although it is not as delicious as wine, it also has a different taste." β
Meng Fan took a sip and couldn't feel anything, but he felt something.
This old man Yao is a master of ancient martial arts. There is something unfathomable in the faint.
"Old man, the Northeast generally does not produce tea. You use the snow from the northeast and make tea from the south. This is a bit ......" Meng Fan also has a sentence to say, tell the truth.
"It was still the Anti-Japanese War period, and the Northeast was very chaotic. At that time, I had no money, no wine at home, and I didn't know where my wife had found tea, so I made a pot of tea, and the two of us ate rice. Old Man Yao said with a smile, "At that time, I was not a soldier, just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child. β
"The old man is amazing." Meng Fan replied.
"After joining the army, I drank all the wine, rarely drank tea, and never used tea to make food. Now that I eat it, it tastes pretty good. The old man was obviously nostalgic, but Meng Fan always felt that there was something in the other party's words.
Meng Fan took the lead in asking: "Old man, you came to me today, are you ......?"
