Di Guangyuan looked at the mountain treasures and wild fruits piled up like a hill in the courtyard, and turned around and asked Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, you have bought too much, right?" ”

"No more, no more!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "These mountain delicacies can be dried, and when it comes to winter, they will all be high-quality dishes!" As for these wild fruits, they are even more useful! ”

"Oh? , these wild fruits are also useful? Di Guangyuan said strangely.

"Of course!" Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the wild fruit on the ground and said, "This is a sour date, this is a hawthorn, and this is a wild cherry." Wild fruits and koji cubes are mashed, steamed, cooled, strained and fermented. After a few months, take it out, filter out the residue, boil it in water, and fill the mouth of the altar while it is hot, you can make a mellow and harmonious aroma, soft liquor, and fragrant elixir. I can make as many wild fruit wines as I have, which is a hundred times stronger than the wine in the wine shops and restaurants in the city. ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Di Renjie and Di Guangyuan only shook their heads with a wry smile, they hadn't seen anything that could stump Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian calculated the accounts, and in just twenty days, he earned a total of three hundred taels of silver. In addition to various expenses, he also made a net profit of one hundred and eighty taels.

……

Somehow, within a few days, the business of the autumn wind broke sharply, and fewer and fewer people came.

Di Guangyuan went to Luoyang City for a turn, and then he knew the reason.

"Luoyang City opened more than a dozen restaurants with strings of incense overnight, and there is actually one called Chunfeng Po, you say that people are not angry!" Di Guangyuan was puffed up.

"Hey, Master Lu, why aren't you angry?"

Lu Xiaoxian listened to Di Guangyuan's news, and he actually had an indifferent expression, which Di Renjie felt very strange.

"What's there to be angry about? The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is all for the sake of profit! Expected? Lu Xiaoxian looked indifferent.

"What? What to expect? You already knew? Di Guangyuan's face was full of surprise.

"Di Gongzi, let me ask you, if we are not here, let you run the autumn wind alone, is it feasible?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

"Absolutely!"

Di Guangyuan has been very familiar with the situation of the restaurant in the past month, and it is absolutely no problem to be alone.

"Even someone like you, who has never opened a restaurant, can run it on your own, so why can't someone else?" Lu Xiaoxian asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Di Guangyuan was speechless.

"So, it's a matter of time before someone imitates it, this is expected, but fortunately, the reputation of the autumn wind has been played, and with this golden signboard, the back hand I prepared can be implemented!"

Di Renjie and Di Guangyuan glanced at each other, Lu Xiaoxian was so young, Juhui thought about it so far-reachingly.

Lu Xiaoxian asked Di Renjie: "Old man, who is the most famous poet in Luoyang City!" ”

"If you say that poetry is the most famous, it must be Shangguan Wan'er!"

In later generations, Lu Xiaoxian knew Shangguan Wan'er very well, she was a talented woman in the Tang Dynasty, and she was quite famous among scholars.

Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather was Shangguan Yi, the prime minister of Gaozong, and later punished the whole family for his crimes, and Shangguan Wan'er's mother Zheng took her to the court as a slave when she was just born. When Wu Zetian was the queen, she summoned Shangguan Wan'er, who was only 14 years old, and took the test on the spot. Wan'er's answer was like a stream, the article had to be written in a moment, Wu Zetian liked it very much, removed the status of a slave and maid, and made her in charge of the edict in the palace. After Wu Zetian became emperor, most of the edicts came from the hands of Shangguan Wan'er, and he was called "Neisheren" and "Prime Minister of Women" by the courtiers.

"Shangguan Wan'er?" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head, "She's not suitable, who is the most famous man?" ”

"Male?" Di Renjie pondered, "If you want to talk about men, then it must belong to Cui Xiang!" He organized a Yunshu Poetry Society, with more than 30 people participating, all of whom were talented people who were good at writing poetry, and they were very famous in Luoyang City! ”

Cui Xiang was born in the Cui clan of Boling, and at a young age, he was admitted to the Jinshi and stepped into the official career. At this time, Li Bai had not yet been born, otherwise it would not be Cui Xiang's turn.

"Cui Xiang!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded, "It's him, the old gentleman knows where he lives!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Xiaoxian smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll go to meet Cui Xiang tomorrow!" ”

……

"Father, you said that Lu Gongzi has been in for so long, why hasn't he come out yet? Nothing will happen, right? ”

Di Guangyuan and Di Renjie were waiting for Lu Xiaoxian in the tea shop opposite Cui Xiang's house, they had already changed three pots of tea, and they hadn't seen Lu Xiaoxian come out, Di Guangyuan was a little anxious.

"What can it be? Just wait with peace of mind! Di Renjie was not in a hurry, and tasted tea leisurely.

Hearing that Lu Xiaoxian was going to meet Cui Xiang, Di Renjie immediately realized that Lu Xiaoxian had a new idea, but he couldn't guess it for a while.

Faced with Di Renjie's inquiry, Lu Xiaoxian just said: Find a way to make money, otherwise everyone will starve to death.

Di Renjie was also very curious, but when he arrived at Cui Xiang's door, Lu Xiaoxian didn't let them go in.

"Father, you say, why didn't Mr. Lu let us go in together?" Di Guangyuan still had a sad face.

Di Renjie glanced at his son: "Guangyuan, when did you become such a mother-in-law?" ”

"Huh? Do I have one? Di Guangyuan was a little stunned.

"Lu Gongzi didn't let us follow, there must be a reason for him! When he comes out, don't you know? As for such nagging? ”

Di Guangyuan was silent, picked up the teacup in his hand, and before he could reach his mouth, he caught a glimpse of Lu Xiaoxian coming out of the gate of Cui Xiang's house.

Di Guangyuan was about to get up, but was grabbed by Di Renjie. It turned out that Cui Xiang personally congratulated Lu Xiaoxian.

"Cui Gongzi, thank you! Say goodbye! Lu Xiaoxian hugged Cui Xiang.

"Master Lu, go slowly, Cui won't send it!" Cui Xiang was very polite.

……

On the way back, Di Renjie and Di Guangyuan followed Lu Xiaoxian silently.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something all the way.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxian stopped and looked directly at Di Renjie. Lu Xiaoxian's gaze made Di Renjie's heart feel a little empty.

"Master Lu, what's wrong?" Di Guangyuan asked from the side.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't take care of Di Guangyuan, but asked Di Renjie solemnly: "Old man, you are a scholar, help me analyze and analyze, how can a rich scholar like Cui Xiang make him willing to pay us money?" ”

"This ......"

Such a strange question made Di Renjie not know how to answer for a while.

He thought for a while, and then slowly replied: "What a scholar cares about most is fame, if he can make him famous all over the world, he won't feel distressed about how much money he pays!" ”

"Want to be famous! Famous all over the world......" Lu Xiaoxian kept muttering.

If you want to be famous, whether it is in Datang or in the future, it is something that many people dream of! In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, how many people racked their brains in order to become famous.

In the later generations of Lu Xiaoxian's life, it was an era when he was famous early, and everyone was trying to show their charm. In order to become famous and change their fate, how many people can be said to be unscrupulous, exhausted their organs, and searched for various ways.

It seems that only by satisfying the desire of scholars to become famous, they will willingly take real money out of their pockets.
