Chapter 157: The Big Cow Comes to the Door
"Rui'er, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to come to the door." In the front hall of the Wang family's compound in the east of Songxian County, there were father and son, and Master Wang looked at his son Wang Zirui with some hesitation.
"Dad, it's okay. It's just a matter of buying it back. Wang Zirui said casually, "Besides, that family doesn't have any backstage, it's just a little girl from the countryside, just give some money and send it away." ”
"That's not necessarily, people are small, but at that time, I bought two Zhuangzi at once, this stroke is not something that a simple child can do, maybe we can't find out the backstage of others." Master Wang is not as simple as his son thinks. Since he inadvertently passed by the previous Zhuangzi in the autumn and found that not only the name of the Zhuangzi had changed to Anyuan, but also that the rice grew surprisingly well, Wang Zirui moved his mind. But Master Wang always felt that it was not appropriate to do so, but he couldn't persuade his son to dispel his mind.
Lin Zhu's Anyuan was bought back from the Wang family in Song County, when his family sold the Zhuangzi because they were in urgent need of money, and now, the situation of the family is much better, and the son of the Wang family wants to buy the Zhuangzi back. In fact, he heard that the crops on the village grew very well, so he moved his mind again, and the price was a little low when he sold it at that time, and the person who inquired about buying the land had no background, so the Wang family asked the people from the tooth shop at that time to inquire about the buyer's situation.
"Dad, don't worry, my son will talk to her well." Wang Zirui said confidently. "Besides, there are a lot of people who are fighting the idea of that Zhuangzi. If we don't strike first, it'll be too late. In Wang Zirui's opinion, Lin Zhu definitely can't keep that piece of land. There are more rich and powerful people in Song County, and it is not trivial for them to buy a piece of land from a rural person. If you don't want to, find a few more people to go there and make trouble, and you can't obediently give up the land.
Since Lin Zhu went to the county magistrate's mansion to see Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhu returned to Linjia Village after knowing that Dong Yuzhen had nothing to do. But Lu Mingtao did not go back with him, but did some things in Song County, and then returned to the capital, and naturally said hello to Lin Zhu and the others before leaving. By the way, let Lin Zhu rest assured. Don't worry about the affairs of Song County, and the affairs of the capital will also help her do it well.
didn't wait for the Wang family to come to the door, Niu Dahu came to find Lin Zhu first. He didn't come to the door unreasonably like Li Dabai's housekeeper at the beginning, but asked his subordinates to send a greeting post first. After getting an affirmative answer. Set a date and go to the door.
"Master Niu. Please. Chang Tianlei opened the door and led him to the front hall. Thank you, little brother. Niu Dahu was slightly stunned when he saw Chang Tianlei at first, and then returned to normal. With the doubt in his heart, he followed him into the antechamber.
At this time, Lin Zhu and Dr. Zhang were sitting in the front hall waiting for the arrival of the big cow, and since he began to send a greeting post, Lin Zhu had a good impression of him, at least this person did not have a superior attitude, nor did he have an aggressive momentum. Steward Zhang and Chang Shi also accompanied him.
As soon as Niu Dahu entered the front hall and saw Dr. Zhang, some preconceived ideas that he was the owner of Fuzhuang, and first met him, "This must be the master of Fuzhuang, Niu took the liberty of disturbing, and he was offended." ”
"Hehe, Master Niu is too polite, please take a seat." Old Doctor Zhang smiled, "But the old man is not the owner of the Fuzhuang, my goddaughter is." He pointed to Lin Zhu, who was standing aside.
"Master Niu is coming, and he is far away." Lin Zhu bowed to Niu Dahu. "Hehe, Niu is really old-eyed, and the girl is really young and promising." Although Niu Dahu was stunned for a moment, he was not a fledgling young man after all, so he reacted immediately and rounded the field.
"She is a junior, don't torture her." Dr. Zhang has a good impression of him. "You may be seated."
"Then you're welcome. Hehe. After speaking, Niu Dahu sat down under Dr. Zhang.
"I have long heard that Master Niu is a wealthy family in Song County, I don't know what is going on with you today." Lin Zhu, as the owner, took the lead in raising doubts.
"Hehe, then I'll get straight to the point." Niu Dahu didn't see the rejection of him from Lin Zhu, and he was slightly happy in his heart. "A few days ago, passing by from Guizhuang, fortunately Zhao Zhuangtou gave some chili peppers, went home and tried to make a few times, I have to say, although this chili pepper is not everyone can eat, but I think it is really happy, delicious. It takes a lot of Xie Lin, girl, Niu to taste such a good taste. ”
"Master Niu is polite, this chili pepper is honest, and it is available in many people's homes. It's just that I don't know how to eat, and I'm just for appreciation. Lin Zhu knew from the moment he came that it was for the reason for the chili pepper.
"No, no, no," Niu Dahu shook his head, "Niu's granddaughter also planted some chili peppers as decorations, and I also picked some and tasted them, but they are not as good as Miss Lin's chili peppers, but they are dry and spicy, and they are a little choking, and they are easy to get angry after eating." And the dishes made by the chili peppers in Miss Lin's Zhuangzi are spicy and not hot at all. It's better than ordinary chili peppers, not just a little bit. ”
Lin Zhu looked at Niu Dahu, he didn't expect him to be so frank, not only praised the chili peppers produced in his Zhuangzi, but also compared them with ordinary chili peppers. Don't look at the rough and leafy appearance on the surface, but I didn't expect the mind to be very delicate.
"Thank you Master Niu for the compliment." Lin Zhu should be like this as soon as he made a copy, which made Niu Dahu secretly surprised in his heart, people know this, so they will sell it so expensive.
"So, I'm here to discuss with Miss Lin, can you sell me some chili seeds?" The big cattle do not hide their purposes. Sometimes confessing is much better than wiping your feet around the corner.
Lin Zhu and Doctor Zhang glanced at each other, and they both had expressions that were really like this. "It stands to reason that Master Niu thinks so highly of me, and I shouldn't take Joe." Lin Zhu's face was calm, and he was not moved by Niu Dahu's words. "It's just that all the harvests in my village have been contracted with the Muyue Trading Company, and this quality of chili peppers must not be leaked."
Master Niu was a little stunned when he heard this, and he was a little unhappy for a while. But there is no refutation.
"However, if Master Niu doesn't dislike it, I can provide some of these second-generation seeds, but the quality of this pepper is definitely not as good as the pepper on my Zhuangzi, but it is better than ordinary pepper." Master Niu, who was originally a little disappointed, heard Lin Zhu's words, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
"I wonder what the gap will be?" After all, Mr. Niu is in business, and the quality of the goods determines the price, so it is understandable to ask clearly.
"I also have some high-quality chili peppers here, you can take some back, taste them, and compare them with those special chili peppers." Lin Zhu also understood that he would have this question, "What Zhao Da gave you is a special chili pepper." ”
"Oh," Mr. Niu's eyes lit up, "then thank you Miss Lin." ”
After a while, Chang Shi took some high-grade chili peppers and gave them to Niu Dahu. Niu Dahu said "thank you" and took it, inadvertently glanced up at Chang Shi, was stunned, and looked at Chang Shi in a daze, "You are?" ”
Chang Shi was puzzled by Master Niu's reaction, he also looked at Niu Dahu carefully, and suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar. "I think I've seen you somewhere, right?"
"Niu also thinks you are very familiar." Niu Dahu stood up and looked at Chang Shi. One of them is sixty years old, and the other is about forty years old. How can one know each other in Song County and the other in Beijing? Several people in the room were also surprised.
"Uncle Chang Shi, have you met Master Nian before?" Lin Zhu asked curiously on the side.
"Your surname is Chang? Ten ten? Niu Dahu suddenly shouted, "Stubborn stone? ”
"How do you know my nickname?" Chang Shi's face changed slightly, and the people with the title of Zhilu Dao were almost all in the capital. "Who are you?" His voice also changed a little gloomy.
"You don't know me anymore?" Niu Dahu patted Chang Shi's shoulder. "Hehe, boy, you recognize it." The big cattle have a kind of joy of meeting their old acquaintances in a foreign land.
"You, you are?" Chang Shi felt that he had no malicious intentions, and looked at Niu Dahu carefully, who had been living a prosperous life all year round, and had made Niu Dahu very rich, and his face was also very round. But Ihi can still see what he looked like when he was young. "Are you Uncle Niu?" Chang Shi asked uncertainly.
"Ha Luha, do you kid recognize me?" Niu Dahu was very happy, and Ha Lu Ha Da smiled. It can make a few people around you look very confused. How did Chang Shi know this person?
"Girl, Uncle Niu was a soldier under the general's account before, and he also saved the general's life, and later the general helped him go back to his hometown." Chang Shi concisely talked about the acquaintance with Niu Dahu. It turned out that more than 20 years ago, General Chang was still a Du Wei at that time, and Niu Dahu was a small soldier under him, who saved General Chang's life on the battlefield. So after that, General Chang gave him a grace, let him return to his hometown in his thirties, and gave him a hundred taels of silver, so it is inseparable from General Chang that Niu Dahu can have today.
"Uncle Niu didn't expect to meet you here." Chang Shi was very happy, "It seems that there is a lot of fate between you and me." ”
"For so many years, I have always wanted to go to the capital to meet the general, but he is always at the border, and with my identity, it is really inconvenient to come to the door. I didn't expect to see you here today. Niu Dahu was very excited, "But, why are you here?" Is the general okay? ”
Niu Dahu's words made Chang Shi fall silent, "What's wrong?" Could it be that something happened to the general? Niu Dahu saw that Chang Shi's expression was ugly, and his heart sank violently.
"Come on, sit down first." Doctor Zhang said to the two of them, "This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while, since Master Niu and Chang Shi know each other, then just stay and have a light meal, and then listen to him explain to you slowly." (To be continued......)
