Chapter Forty-Nine: One World, Two Brothers
Lu Zifei pointed to Shao Yong and introduced Li Lin: "This is my master Mr. Shao Yaofu, my master is a famous master of Yixue, if you please him, I will give you a hexagram, money, beauty, you can get it at your fingertips." Shao Yong was also speechless when he saw his apprentice introduce himself like this, as if he was omnipotent, and he accidentally ruined his life if he accepted an apprentice!
Li Lin put away his playful personality, and said seriously: "My name is Li Lin, from Kaifeng, I am a good friend of Xiucai, this is also my friend Cao Feng, Xiucai, you know his father, Uncle Cao Ran, Mr. has been famous for a long time, I saw it today, Li Lin is deeply honored, Mr. can be Xiucai's teacher, and it is also a blessing for him to cultivate in three lives." ”
Shao Yong said with relief: "They are all good children, it is not easy to have one or two confidants in life, you must cherish this hard-won fate, what he brings you is a shoulder to rely on each other for a lifetime, and it is also the most solid backing for each other." ”
Li Lin and Cao Feng said together: "Thank you, Mr. for your words, we must remember it." ”
Lu Zifei said to Li Lin: "You go to the study first, let someone find you something to eat, wait for me there, I'll come over later." ”
After Li Lin and Cao Feng left, Shao Yong said, "Are you referring to him?" Judging from the physiognomy, it is indeed very suitable for you to be friends, and you have to grasp the proportions yourself, do you think he can do this thing I told you? ”
Lu Zifei said: "He is the most suitable person, his surname is Li, and the master can think about the person surnamed Li who has a relationship with the emperor." ”
Shao Yong had never been in officialdom, he thought for a while and said: "There are not many people surnamed Li who have a relationship with the emperor, and if you have to be able to speak in front of the emperor, I know only one person, the emperor's own uncle, Li Lin is the emperor's cousin?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "The master guessed right, the fate of the apprentice has been intertwined with him, and he is also my only friend so far, I will talk to the master in detail about what happened in the northwest one day." ”
Shao Yong saw the disciple's embarrassment, and did not force him to ask, and finally said: "He is indeed the most suitable person, I suggest that you first improve the structure of the plow, you feel that there is no problem before you offer it, I and your master and wife went back, I can't let go of you here, your friend is here, your homework can't be relaxed, you have to know what to do." ”
When Lu Zifei came to the door of the study, he heard that Li Lin's hooligan was molesting Banxia again, how could a rural girl in Banxia withstand the teasing of a veteran in the love field like Li Lin, Banxia was speechless in a few words, Lu Zifei went in and said to Banxia: "When you see him in the future, don't talk to him, just let the dog bite him." Seeing Childe come in, Banxia blushed and retreated.
Li Lin ate something in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Xiucai, when did your taste become so unique, I remember that this kind of village girl is not the type you like?" The one we saw in Qianling last time was the fake Mulan, I've already inquired for you, do you want to know his current situation! ”
Lu Zifei said: "Do you like to talk about it or not, I will cook a few dishes and talk about life with Brother Cao, and you go to Luoyang to find your little flower." ”
Li Lin said with a sad face: "I surrendered, in return, shouldn't you cook a few more good dishes for us!" ”
Lu Zifei said: "Are you a pig?" Just thinking about eating, you can't have a little bit of interest, a little ambition. ”
Li Lin said: "I can't eat the food you cook, that's the biggest punishment for me, but I praised you in front of Fengzi, if you don't show it, when you get to the capital, then Fengzi will torture you as much as he wants, you haven't done it yet." ”
Cao Feng said: "Don't spray feces in your mouth, my father told me before I came, and you must maintain respect for Brother Lu." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Uncle Cao is killing me, you really treat me as a brother, call me Hanzhang, and follow that hooligan to call Xiucai, it's not interesting to talk about respect between brothers." ”
Cao Feng said: "When I didn't see you, I was thinking, what kind of person are you, Xiucai went to the battlefield is the first case of this dynasty, survived with the brothers, and what my father told me, I have a very complicated heart for you, when I see you, I know that you are a cheerful person, with blood in the army, there is no problem with being a brother, and we will have a few drinks when the time comes." ”
Lu Zifei said: "I'm the best, Li Lin is my first friend, and my brother, you are his brother, that's also my brother, you two can take a walk and have a look, I'll fry a few dishes, and then we will sit down and have a good chat." ”
Lu Zifei didn't forget to teach a few mothers-in-law and two maids to stir-fry, Li Lin explained to them while doing it, let them remember a dish, and the rest of them discussed with each other, he would check the quality of their stir-frying, the best dish to entertain Li Lin is braised pork, stir-fried fat sausage, braised lion's head, fish-flavored shredded pork, the first day of vegetarian this situation, they won't eat it, and finally boiled a West Lake beef soup, looking at the amount should be about the same.
Seeing Lu Zifei serving the food, Li Lin shouted and said: "Xiucai, can you hurry up, I'm almost full of saliva after eating myself, I haven't had a good meal without you, I'm ready to die here today." ”
After the five dishes were served, Li Lin said, "Do the three of us want to drink a little?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "You eat first, after eating, we will talk about things, how about letting go of drinking after talking, now there is something in my heart to drink, and I am not happy to drink." After Li Lin understood Lu Zifei's thoughts, the chopsticks were inserted into the largest lion's head as soon as possible, and he sighed when he ate it: "The days of the gods, I really can't live without this lion head." ”
Cao Feng's chopsticks added a piece of fat intestines after eating, can no longer stop the power of the desolation, the dining table is the battlefield, all kinds of meat in the plate quickly disappeared, the last piece of braised pork in the two pairs of chopsticks under the scramble into Cao Feng's mouth temporarily ended the battle, Cao Feng patted a drop of water on the stomach and said: "I used to live in vain." ”
Li Lin said provocatively: "Now you know what I said, no one can stand up for a second in Xiucai, I told him before that even if he was admitted to the top prize, he is definitely not as powerful as a chef, don't you believe it." ”
Cao Feng said: "I really believe in this sentence, no one can resist this temptation, I understand why you say that the food in Fan Lou is not eaten by people, and after eating the dishes made by Xiucai, no one can be interested in other foods." ”
Lu Zifei said: "It's not so exaggerated, Li Lin, do you have any explanation for coming up this time." ”
This is not sloppy, Li Lin sat up straight and said: "He is very satisfied with you in the matter of wine, and the reward or something is estimated to be honored when you see him, I told him that you told me about the three-cropping rice, and he asked me to tell you, what you need to open your mouth directly, what you want to give, he can see the real thing, nothing else." ”
Lu Zifei said: "How much profit does the wine make now?" ”
Li Lin said: "There are about two million guan. ”
Lu Zifei said: "Send a message to the steward, send me 500,000 yuan, I have something to use money here." ”
Li Lin said: "Got it, do you need anything?" ”
Lu Zifei remembered the housekeeper and said to Li Lin: "Do you have a suitable housekeeper in your family to recommend one to me, I need someone to help me share the burden, and there are many things that I don't worry about leaving to others to do." ”
Li Lin said: "In fact, you are looking for the wrong person for this kind of thing, Fengzi is more suitable than me, these big families of the Cao family have special cultivation of this kind of person, let Fengzi find one for you." ”
Cao Feng said: "Xiucai, if you believe in me and treat me as a brother, I will find you a reliable one." ”
Lu Zifei said: "What don't you believe, Uncle Cao and I were tied together when we were in the northwest, I don't believe who my brother believes, let people come early." ”
Li Lin said: "Xiucai, how do you solve the rice matter? ”
Lu Zifei said: "If you want to solve this matter, Fengzi is the best choice, it depends on whether he wants this credit or not." ”
Cao Feng said: "The family doesn't talk to two families, my father is not the eldest son, my situation at home is also very embarrassing, I want to make meritorious contributions I want to go crazy, I don't want to grovel to live, I want them to see how I can do it." ”
Lu Zifei comforted him and said: "The eldest son is nothing great, our brothers fight the country empty-handed, rest assured of all the enjoyment they get, don't be afraid of no merit, I have at least three great merits here that can make our brothers glorious for a lifetime, as long as you do it, have the courage to do it, everything will be there." ”
Li Lin said: "I may be the most useless, I can only stand behind you and wave the flag and shout." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Who said you are useless, you didn't find out yourself, I think so about rice, Fengzi must have a certain relationship in the army, find a thousand soldiers, strict training, you must be familiar with water warfare, it is most suitable to be placed in Quanzhou and Lingnan, you have no problem with this Fengzi, right?" There is a possibility of death, you have to think clearly. ”
Cao Feng said: "It's useless, a thousand people is a bit less." ”
Lu Zifei said: "If there are more people, it must be good, but if you want to guarantee the quality for me, Li Lin, you will be responsible for building a ship for Fengzi, everything he needs, you have to do it, and the three of our firms, it is a good place to make a fortune, and it is not too much for us to be a little selfish by the way." ”
Li Lin said: "As long as you find rice, everything is a small problem. ”
Lu Zifei said: "This is the first thing, the task is distributed like this, it doesn't matter who takes the credit, the soldiers are trained, we will set off, Fengzi, your pressure is not small!" You have to be mentally prepared. ”
Cao Feng choked up and said, "Good brother, thank you really for giving me this opportunity, I will go back tomorrow to prepare for this matter." ”
Lu Zifei patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be in such a hurry, it's next year if you want to do it, now we only make preparations, and when the time comes, we will say that we will do it, and we can move immediately, and there are two brothers in the world, don't say thank you in the future." ”
