Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lu Mingtao
"I really envy Lord Zhang for finding such a paradise, without worldly disturbances, and can enjoy such deliciousness, this watermelon chicken is really eye-opening, feasting on the mouth." A man in brocade clothes was sitting opposite Dr. Zhang, and on the table was the watermelon chicken that Lin Zhu specially prepared for Dr. Zhang's hospitality.
"Where, where, I also happened to find such a caring goddaughter, Ha Luha. This is all rectified by her, and Lu Gongzi does not dislike eating more. The children's families can't be on the table, and it is rare for Lu Gongzi to appreciate his face. Doctor Zhang's tone was not without pride, Lin Zhu really gave him a long face, Lu Mingtao was famous for his mouth, all the major restaurants and restaurants in the capital are selling to make dishes that meet his appetite, which dish he said was delicious, and the dish would be sought after.
"Ha Luha, Lord Zhang is too modest." Lu Mingtao took another sip of chicken soup, the sweet taste of watermelon, mixed with the strong aroma of chicken soup, was indescribable. "Presumably this watermelon is also from your godgranddaughter."
"Lu Gongzi has good eyesight, exactly, in fact, the old man just mentioned it to the old Du Luo of your business bank, but I didn't expect Lu Gongzi to go out in person." Doctor Zhang was a little puzzled, he also mentioned in the letter that there were not many watermelons, but he didn't expect the big boss of Muyue Commercial Bank to come over in person, "I wonder if the shopkeeper Du is here?" ”
"He will arrive in two days, Mr. Zhang doesn't know, although this year's watermelon is abundant, and our business bank has also collected a lot, but the taste is mediocre, not quite in line with the boss's taste, in order to choose the best quality, I had to run around to find it myself." Lu Gongzi pointed to the watermelon chicken on the table again, "Lord Zhang's watermelon here is extraordinary." ”
"The watermelon has been planted in the well, and Lu Gongzi will taste it carefully. The old man guarantees that you will make the trip worthwhile. "Lu Mingtao is just a businessman in charge, as a former imperial doctor of the imperial court, Doctor Zhang does not need to be so polite to him. Although Muyue Commercial Bank is somewhat famous, it is not from a big family. It's just that it suddenly appeared three years ago, the means are extraordinary, and it has occupied a place in the capital within a year, Shengyuan has four major trading houses, but this little Muyue has seized the market share, of course they are not happy, under the joint boycott, they have not hurt the enemy but have been robbed of a lot of business by Muyue, and Muyue has become one of the five major commercial houses in three years. The details of the owner of the Kizuki Trading House are very mysterious. There are only five people who know the Tao, and Dr. Zhang happens to be one of these five people.
How many people want to know who the boss of Muyue is and can bring a business wizard like Lu Mingtao under his command, Muyue has today's achievements, and the biggest hero is Lu Mingtao. Dr. Zhang also admired him very much. However, what makes Dr. Zhang even more admired is Mu Yue's boss, in that context, he can still make such a big family business without showing his face, on the one hand, sigh for his life experience, and on the other hand, praise his talent. "Is Boss Mu okay?"
"The owner was nice. It's just that you also know that when summer comes, his appetite is not good. "Doctor Zhang has seen and treated Boss Muyue, so Lu Mingtao has nothing to hide from him.
"Heart disease is difficult to treat." Dr. Zhang knew the reason for his poor appetite. But there is no good solution, and I can't help but sigh.
At this time, Steward Zhang brought up the cut watermelon, and Dr. Zhang glanced at him. Seeing him nodded, he knew that Lin Zhu's matter had been done. And he let him go down.
"Master Lu, how about you taste this watermelon?"
"Good. Since the watermelon used to cook is so delicious, this original watermelon should be taken to the next level. Saying that, Lu Gongzi picked up a piece of watermelon, tasted it, and wanted to savor it in his mouth, but when the juice of the watermelon burst in his mouth, he couldn't hold back. It was the first time he had lost his graceful eating. But fortunately, there was no gaffe, although it was a little faster.
"Ha Luha, it's okay, the old man wasn't much better than you when he ate it for the first time." Dr. Zhang also picked up a slice, this time he was able to control himself a little, and he ate a lot slower.
"The taste is really far better than what I used to eat, and I think it can satisfy the boss's appetite." Putting down the watermelon rind, Lu Gongzi wiped the juice on his lips, "It seems that I have to pay a good price to buy all the watermelons." ”
"You can't give less of the price, but you can't buy all the watermelons." Doctor Zhang smiled and said Lin Zhu's request slowly, "The bamboo girl said, you have to leave 20% to eat by yourself." Hehe. ”
"Master Zhang, this is not just what she means, she can't eat it alone, you won't do anything in it." Lu Mingtao and Dr. Zhang have also known each other for a long time, so they naturally know his hobby.
"Ha Luha, to be honest, the old man really didn't say anything, but my goddaughter honored me and kept my share." Dr. Zhang was a little triumphant. "Your old fortune is truly enviable." Lu Mingtao bowed to Dr. Zhang.
"What's that? Watermelons will also be available in the old man's Zhuangzi next year. If I go home next year, I won't be afraid that I won't be able to eat such delicious watermelon. Chang's mother has told him that not only can he plant watermelons next year, but even the seeds of this special watermelon, Lin Zhu will be prepared.
"Lord Zhang is delicious and can eat, who in the capital doesn't know how to do it, Lu is here to congratulate you first." Lu Mingtao said to him with a smile, "I don't know if the boss will be lucky enough to eat this freshly picked watermelon next year, if so, his heart disease will be better." Alas. Lu Mingtao sighed deliberately.
"Okay, the old man still doesn't know what your idea is? It's just that this kind of child is really rare, I don't know if I can give you some, I'll ask you in a few days. After listening to Dr. Zhang's words, Lu Mingtao immediately left his seat and saluted Dr. Zhang. Thank you, Mr. Zhang. ”
"But I have to make one thing clear to you," Dr. Zhang said to him. "Please say, the younger generation will listen to you." Lu Mingtao also got serious. "This watermelon method has been spread, and you can easily know the Tao, but this kind of thing, you must keep it secret, and you can't say it."
"Of course." Lu Mingtao nodded.
"When this special watermelon is sold, don't tell me that it was bought from the bamboo girl. However, although the special melon seeds are limited, the watermelon seeds left after eating this special watermelon are good seeds, if you have the heart to plant, you can also use it. Dr. Zhang told him all the details.
"Xie Lu Xie Dr. Zhang's teachings. After the junior goes back, he will tell the boss truthfully, presumably with the boss's temper, he doesn't want others to eat the same special watermelon as him. Lu Mingtao knows his boss's temperament very well, and everything else is fine, but he is never willing to share this food that can be used exclusively.
"The bamboo girl knows that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, so she doesn't want outsiders to know her ability, and she also told the people of Linjia Village about the planting method of this precious watermelon, even so, there are people with bad intentions to make trouble." Doctor Zhang told him that someone stole melons last night and came to make trouble again today.
"It seems that the little girl is indeed not easy, but it is a blessing for her to have your old protection."
"If you don't say it, you can make a lot of money in silence, don't you?" Dr. Zhang teased the most. The two looked at each other and smiled.
The next day, Dr. Zhang took Lu Mingtao to Lin Zhu's melon field, followed by Steward Zhang. The reason why Lin Zhu was not allowed to go with him was to protect Lin Zhu and not want her to contact Lu Mingtao, for fear that Lin Zhu would be deceived by this businessman who eats people and does not spit out bones, and secondly, he did not want Lu Mingtao to see Chang's mother, although she had lived in the palace for a long time, there was no guarantee that he would be able to recognize Chang's mother, so Dr. Zhang took over the matter of selling watermelons.
When the three of them came to the melon field, Lu Mingtao saw the melon field that was growing so well, and he was happy to see the hunt, and just wanted to go to the field, but Steward Zhang stopped him, "Lu Gongzi be careful." ”
Lu Mingtao didn't know why, and just wanted to ask, suddenly a black dog came out of the melon field. Rushing at him, he subconsciously wanted to raise his foot and kick it, but the dog dodged and dodged.
"Black Bean, stop." Doctor Zhang stopped it next to him, and when Heidou'er saw that Doctor Zhang was also there, he immediately stopped attacking and stood not far from them. And Steward Zhang stepped forward in front of Lu Mingtao to prevent him from doing something to Black Bean. "Lord Zhang, what is this?" Lu Mingtao almost let the dog bite, this matter is going to spread to the capital, but many people will be happy, and his extremely smart boss must be the loudest laugher, Lu Mingtao will never doubt this.
"This is a black bean, and he usually looks at melons in the field. Yesterday, the melon thief just let him bite and run away. Steward Zhang walked over and took Black Beans aside. Hei Dou'er is still staring at Lu Mingtao tightly, and Steward Zhang has to be responsible for keeping an eye on Hei Dou'er, for fear that it will hurt people if he doesn't pay attention. After yesterday's melon thief, Black Bean'er's wildness was stimulated, except for the people Lin Zhu confessed, once everyone else entered the melon field without permission, they would be attacked by it, and Black Bean'er was good at sneak attacks, which made people unguardable. The dog is so smart that it is really against the sky, I really don't know how Miss Lu Daozhu raised it, Steward Zhang wants to learn from her, and he also wants to raise such a good dog.
"Then it won't bite me again." If he knows the origin of the dog, then he can't do anything to it. "Don't worry, we're here, as long as you don't pick the watermelon, it won't move." Dr. Zhang is an acquaintance of Black Bean, so Black still gives it some face, and after Dr. Zhang explained to it, it took the initiative to return to the nest and lie on its stomach. slept with his eyes closed, and didn't even look at Lu Mingtao.
