Driving back home, Lin Dong took out the round iron box that Fu Jiacong gave him and looked at it carefully-

The iron box is not exquisite, but there is a simple and unpretentious beauty, especially the pattern of the flying dragon and phoenix on the lid, which is very realistic and expressive, and it does not look like it is printed, but painted. Lin Dong thought to himself that it was really something from the Fu family, why did it have an antique flavor, could it be that it was also an antique?

Here, Lin Dong thought about Fu Jiacong's goodness in his heart, and on the other hand, he attached importance to this iron box and put it away lightly. As for the tea leaves in the iron box, he didn't open it to take a look, because he knew that he didn't understand tea, he couldn't tell the good from the bad, and he couldn't see the doorway.

After washing, Lin Dong lay on the bed and sent a text message to Xiao Rongrong, telling her that he had arrived.

Xiao Rongrong quickly texted him back, telling Lin Dong that she was inconvenient today, and her aunt was here, so she would not go.

After receiving the text message, Lin Dong was slightly disappointed, threw his phone aside, and fell asleep with his head covered.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Zuo Yonggui called and asked enthusiastically: "Brother Lin, have you gotten up, haven't you forgotten today's events?" ”

Lin Dong packed up and was about to set off from home, and said with a smile: "Then how can you forget, how important it is to meet Elder Wu." Boss Zuo, where do we meet? ”

Zuo Yonggui said with a smile: "I just arrived at Yingchun Tower, I'm going to eat something here, Brother Lin, why don't you come over too, Yingchun Tower's breakfast is the best in Suzhou City, it's absolutely delicious." ”

It just so happened that Lin Dong hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and Yingchun Building was on the way to Wu Changqing Medical Center. It was very good, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, then please wait a while, I'll drive over to find you now." ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong hurriedly went out, originally wanting to find a beautiful bag to put the box sent by Fu Jiacong. But after looking around the house, I didn't find a bag that could match the round tin box, so I had to take a bag randomly. I put the tin box in it and went downstairs with my things.

After the rush hour, Lin Dong drove smoothly along the way. Twenty minutes to the Spring Tower. Yingchun Tower is a very famous place in Sioux City, known as "the first in Sioux City". The three-storey building follows the Ming Dynasty style building, with white walls and green tiles, a small river passing around the wall, two ancient willows in front of the door to welcome guests, fine branches fluttering with the wind, green willow leaves like beautiful hair, exuding a faint fragrance.

He parked his car and entered the store, walking up the wooden stairs to the second floor. When I got to the second floor, I saw Zuo Yonggui at a glance. Zuo Yonggui picked a position near the window, and a table of breakfast was placed on the table. Shrimp dumplings, siu mai, steamed buns, oil cakes......

"Yo, Brother Lin, come and sit, look, it's still hot. It's all just on. ”

Zuo Yonggui saw him and got up to greet him.

The two sat down, Zuo Yonggui poured some vinegar into the small plate in front of Lin Dong, pointed to the table full of breakfast, and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I want a little bit of everything." Brother Lin, let's eat with our bellies open. ”

Lin Dong had already heard that the morning of Yingchun Building was good. But I haven't been here to eat, and since I'm here today, I have the mentality of a delicious food, and I ate it unceremoniously. The things in this Yingchun Building should be good, everything is very finely made, and the taste and color are good, but they don't meet Lin Dong's taste. He grew up eating Huaicheng cuisine, the taste likes salty rather than sweet, most of the noodles in Yingchun Lou are a little sweet, very Sioux City characteristics, so he didn't eat how good it was, but compared it with the spicy soup in Damiaozi Town in his heart, but felt that the five cents a bowl of spicy soup was enough to kill all the breakfasts here.

Zuo Yonggui is a native of Sioux City, he eats very fragrantly, and while eating, he introduced the history of Yingchun Tower to Lin Dong, "This place has been there as early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, did you see the two big willow trees in front of the door?" It's hundreds of years old. At the beginning, there was no such building at all, the ancestor of Yingchun Lou was sold early under the willow tree, and then the business became more and more prosperous, and he felt that these two willow trees were his lucky stars, so he bought this land, and waited until his grandson built a building here, so he had the name of Yingchun Building. Emperor Qianlong was difficult to find several times, and every time he visited Gusu, he would come to Yingchun Tower and taste the breakfast here. ”…,

"Yingchun Lou has changed from a roadside stall to a well-known breakfast restaurant in Sioux City, and we should do business like this, accumulate a lot, learn to accumulate, show people with integrity, and there will always be an opportunity to soar." Lin Dong stopped Zuo Yonggui's words, but said a reason, Zuo Yonggui immediately knew that this brother was thinking differently from himself, so he stopped talking about the history of Yingchun Tower.

Zuo Yonggui saw Lin Dong drinking the chicken soup in the bowl slowly, and knew that the food here was not very in line with his taste, so he said: "Brother Lin, is it not to your liking, why don't we change places?" ”

Lin Dong waved his hand, "No need, I have eaten a lot, I don't have much appetite in the morning, and the breakfast here is very good." ”

Zuo Yonggui smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I don't know if you have any thoughts about entering the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, "What organization?" ”

This made Zuo Yonggui stunned, how did this brother practice the Chamber of Commerce and didn't know?

"The Chamber of Commerce I'm talking about is the Chamber of Commerce in Sioux City, each of the thirteen lines has an organization, the Chamber of Commerce is an organization that serves our businessmen, to put it bluntly, it is a place for businessmen from all walks of life to exchange information, of course, there are also levels inside, the biggest is the president, what directors are below, and the worst is the members."

Lin Dong listened carefully and asked, "Boss Zuo, why are you telling me this?" ”

Zuo Yonggui smiled, "What else can you do, you can also join, there is no harm, it is a good place to exchange information." ”

Lin Dong remembered a report he had read when he first graduated, which was about the Sioux Chamber of Commerce, so he asked: "Boss Zuo, there was a period of soaring rice and oil prices in Sioux City in the past two years, is it related to the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Zuo Yonggui had already joined the meeting, he was clear about this matter, and nodded, "Yes, it was those people who were engaged in grain and oil who conspired to raise prices, but not now." The above check is strict. Brother Lin, you see, this is the benefit of joining the Chamber of Commerce, and those who have mastered the resources can easily achieve the goals they want. ”

Lin Dong smiled coldly, "It's okay if you don't join such a chamber of commerce." ”

One sentence blocked what Zuo Yonggui was going to say next, Zuo Yonggui wanted to persuade Lin Dong to join the Chamber of Commerce, and he recommended him. Coupled with Lin Dong's own strength, it is not difficult to join the Chamber of Commerce, but Lin Dong is not interested in joining the Chamber of Commerce.

"Dude. That's all it means before me, and don't say that when there are a lot of people. It is easy to cause public outrage. Zuo Yonggui persuaded with kind words.

Lin Dong nodded, "I have my own measure." He understands the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce, which can share information, share resources, and develop a lot of contacts, but he is not interested in joining the small Chamber of Commerce in Sioux City.

Zuo Yonggui took two tissues and wiped his grease mouth, and said, "Have you eaten well?" ”

Lin Dong stood up, "Let's go." ”

The two went downstairs one after the other, and each picked up the car, and Zuo Yonggui led the way in front. When he arrived at the Wumen Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum, Zuo Yonggui took Lin Dong to drive the car to the backyard. After getting off the bus. He saw Lin Dong holding this plastic bag in his hand, which contained a round iron box, and asked curiously, "Brother, this is the gift you brought to my uncle?" ”

Lin Dong nodded, "Yes." What's wrong? ”

Zuo Yonggui smiled, "You don't take my uncle seriously, it's better to give this thing to him empty-handed, send it to the car." ”

Lin Dong smiled awkwardly, he also felt a little unable to take it, but the thing was given to him by Fu Jiacong. And Fu Jiacong swore that he would like tea lovers when they saw it, he had little confidence in this thing, and he was very confident in Fu Jiacong.

"Although the things are not very good-looking, the tea leaves in it are good tea, and they are all brought, and they are all given away." Lin Dong said with a smile. …,

Zuo Yonggui sighed, "If I knew this, I might as well bring you a box from home." ”

The Wumen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall is very large, there are five floors in total, the entire first floor is a big medicine hall, you can smell the rich medicinal materials in it from a long distance, and the upper floors are where the doctor sits. Wu Changqing was on the second floor, and the two went up from the stairs, Zuo Yonggui was familiar with the car here, and soon brought him to Wu Changqing's door.

There was a patient inside, and the two of them were waiting at the door. During this period, Zuo Yonggui couldn't help but become addicted to smoking, took out all the cigarettes, put them under his nose, smelled them, and put them in the cigarette box. No matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to smoke here, and the Wumen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall is strict about noisy and smoking, and he knows this rule.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the patient walked out of Wu Changqing's consultation room. Zuo Yonggui immediately pushed the door and entered, "Uncle, Brother Lin is here." ”

Lin Dong walked in, bent down and bowed to Wu Changqing, "Old Wu, Lin Dong should have come to see you a long time ago, let you worry about it, I really shouldn't be ashamed." ”

Wu Changqing had an elder's peaceful smile on his face, "Xiaolin, you're welcome, please take a seat." ”

Lin Dong took out the iron box and put his hands on Wu Changqing's table, "Old Wu, there is nothing to prepare in a hurry, I have prepared a little light courtesy, talk about my heart, please don't be surprised." ”

Wu Changqing glanced at it, and immediately looked at it carefully. Zuo Yonggui coughed beside him and said with a smile: "Uncle, what's so nice about this box?" Isn't it just a ......?"

He wanted to say "break the iron box", but considering that Lin Dong was present, he couldn't make Lin Dong's face gloomy, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips hard.

"You know what, just sit there."

Wu Changqing didn't even look at Zuo Yonggui, took the iron box in his hand, as if he was looking at a treasure, and kept looking at it over and over again.

Zuo Yonggui was reprimanded by him, and sat down on the sofa honestly. He knew that his uncle was a person who had seen the world, and he wouldn't be so concerned about ordinary things.

"Where did you get this box?"

After a while, Wu Changqing asked.

When Lin Dong heard him ask, he knew that this box was not as simple as it seemed, and replied truthfully: "It was taken by a friend." ”

Wu Changqing looked at Lin Dong and said, "Xiao Lin, do you know that this thing is a vessel used to hold dragon and phoenix tea balls in ancient times?" ”

Lin Dong shook his head, "I don't even know what the Dragon and Phoenix Tea Ball is. ”

Wu Changqing sighed: "Longfeng Tuan Tea is the tribute tea of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, in the third year of Taiping Xingguo, Song Taizong sent an envoy to Jian'an Beiyuan. Overseeing the manufacture of a kind of tea for the royal family, because the tea cake is printed with a dragon and phoenix-shaped ornament, it is called dragon and phoenix group tea. After Zhu Yuanzhang's world stabilized, Hongwu issued an edict in September 24 to stop the dragon group, and this dragon and phoenix group tea became the swan song of history! Longfeng Tuan Tea has lost its appreciators. The former tea plantations are withered. After hundreds of years, even the process of making dragon and phoenix group tea has been lost, a few years ago. It is said that some people have searched for scriptures and tried to re-produce this historical tea, but they don't know if they can do it. ”

"Good boy. It's so big! Zuo Yonggui had a big mouth, sighed in surprise, and didn't dare to underestimate the iron box anymore.

Wu Changqing said: "The preciousness of the dragon and phoenix tea group is unimaginable to you. Even the princes and ministers at that time could be excited to receive half a piece of dragon and phoenix tea from the Yellow Emperor, and they would definitely treasure it at home, and only when a distinguished guest came to the door would they take it out and play with it. ”

When I opened the iron box, there was also a tea cake inside, but it was not a dragon and phoenix tea ball, but a good Pu'er tea ball.

Wu Changqing looked at it and closed the box again. Although the tea cake is also superb, it is not as precious as the box that contains it. …,

"Xiaolin, how uncomfortable do you feel when you come in?"

Wu Changqing began to consult Lin Dong.

Lin Dong remembered that Wu Changqing had said last time that he had been invaded by evil qi. But he didn't feel uncomfortable during this time, so he said: "Old Wu, I'm fine, there is no problem." ”

Wu Changqing pointed to the stool beside him and said, "You sit here." I'll show you. ”

Lin Dong sat down, Wu Changqing gave him a pulse, and his originally slightly smiling face became solemn.

"Xiaolin, let's go inside."

Lin Dong nodded and followed Wu Changqing into the small consultation room inside. Zuo Yonggui wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Wu Changqing.

"Agui. You're just waiting outside. ”

There is a small bed in the small consultation room, which is very simply furnished, except for two stools.

Just now, Wu Changqing was Lin Dong's vein, and found that the evil qi in his body was not only not expelled from his body, but became stronger than last time.

The two sat down, and Wu Changqing said in a heavy tone: "Xiaolin, now there are only you and me, you tell me the truth, have you encountered anything strange?" ”

Lin Dong didn't know what Wu Changqing meant, and shook his head, "Old Wu, I really haven't encountered anything weird, what's wrong with me?" ”

"The last time I called for you, the evil qi was still wisps, and now it has grown from weak to strong, and has grown into lines. If it weren't for the fact that your body is strong and different from ordinary people, and the innate Qi in your body is strong, you can't resist the invasion of that evil qi at all. There are many evil things in the world, but I don't know why you are contaminated with evil spirits. ”

Wu Changqing said so evilly, Lin Dong was really worried about himself, he has always walked straight up, why was he invaded by evil spirits?

"Seriously?" Lin Dong tried to calm his emotions.

Wu Changqing said: "It won't affect your health for the time being, but if you can't expel the evil qi from your body as soon as possible and let it grow and spread, I'm afraid there will be big trouble in the future." ”

"Elder Wu, how can we expel the evil qi from the body? Please let me know. ”

Lin Dong barely kept his composure, but in fact, he was already flustered in his heart.

Wu Changqing sighed: "If you don't understand where this evil spirit comes from, even if Hua Tuo and Bian Que are alive, they will be helpless." Xiaolin, you come to me once a week, I will do my best to find a hospital for you, and when the time comes, I will be able to cure it soon, with your good body. ”

Lin Dong raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't imagine why there was an evil qi in his body.

"You don't have to worry, according to my estimate, this evil spirit is not a threat to your health for the time being." Wu Changqing said with relief.

Lin Dong nodded, "Elder Wu, I'm bothering you." ”

The two opened the door and returned to the large consultation room outside, Wu Changqing opened the iron box, leaving the Pu'er tea cake inside, but returned the iron box to Lin Dong, "Xiaolin, this thing is too valuable, it must be your friend's beloved, you can take it back to him." ”

"Old Wu, how can this work?"

Lin Dong was originally afraid that Wu Changqing would think that the things he sent were poor, and he was returned if he didn't send them too well.

Wu Changqing insisted that he take it back to its original owner, "I can have the privilege of taking a few looks, and I am very satisfied to touch it in my hand, such a precious thing, I really dare not take it for myself." ”

Zuo Yonggui knew that this was a good thing, and persuaded Wu Changqing to accept it vigorously, "Uncle, this is Lin Dong's intention, you can accept it." ”

"Xiaolin, take it back, if this thing is not kept legally, it will soon be broken. Your friend is a connoisseur, and I can't keep it even if I want it to pass on good things. ”

Lin Dong had no choice but to take the iron box back, say goodbye to Wu Changqing, and leave Wu Changqing's clinic with Zuo Yonggui.

"Brother Lin, what did my uncle call you in and say?" Zuo Yonggui was a little curious.

"I didn't talk about anything, just to take my pulse." He perfunctory Zuo Yonggui, Zuo Yonggui knew that he didn't want to say it, so he could only figure it out by himself.

Lin Dong excused the company that there was still something to do, and the two separated at the door of the Wumen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, and he drove straight to the antique street. At this time, Fu Jiacong should be in Jiguxuan, and he had to return this precious tea cake box to Fu Jiacong.

It was time to get off work at noon, there were a lot of vehicles on the road, and it was in the urban area, Lin Dong drove for a while before arriving at the antique street, parked the car at the door of Jiguxuan, and got out of the car with a tea cake box.

Pushing the door in, Ji Gu Xuan was still so quiet. Fu Jiacong stood there fiddling with an antique, concentrating, and he didn't even notice that Lin Dong came in. (To be continued.)
