Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 31 The Demon is like Yi
After Cao Yi sent the VIP card to Lu Lao and the madman, he was left behind and pasted a pair of dishes and chopsticks on the side.
"Boy Zhaozheng, how did you come up with this solution?" The mad man shook the Tianzi VIP card in his hand and asked with a smile, as if he had seen the usefulness of the VIP card for the Drunken Immortal Building.
"Shangsheng Fan Li once said, 'expensive as dung, cheap as pearl jade', in the next deep agreement, since ancient times people are love to take advantage of a small advantage, in some aspects is indeed a small profit can be sold, and it seems that the drunken fairy building is free to give everyone present a VIP card is a loss, in fact, it is the drunken fairy building." Cao Yi took a bite of food and continued: "If a person has two choices at the same time, one does not have any discount, and the other has a large discount, no matter which one is better, when the two are almost the same, after all, he will be more inclined to go to a restaurant with discounts." Besides, people have the subconscious of showing off, well, it is the potential idea, if there is a talented person to have a party banquet, come to the drunken fairy building to check out the VIP card, you can earn some face in front of friends, isn't it a beautiful thing, if you eat happily, go back and write some poems and songs, and make a promotion for the drunken fairy building, it will be better. Of course, there are still many benefits, so I won't come out one by one, I hope to ask Lu Gong and Mad Gong to bear more. ”
"You kid, I knew it wasn't that simple." The madman smiled and pointed at Cao Yi.
Cao Yi filled Lu Lao and the madman with Qinglian wine, and the three of them toasted. Lu Lao asked on the side: "Zhaozheng, since you just said that 'small profits can sell more', why is this Qinglian wine available in limited quantities, and it is necessary to buy it with this VIP card?" "Lu Lao is a learned person after all, and he usually doesn't pay much attention to other things, and in the era of the Great Yan Dynasty, the status of businessmen is still relatively low, so he naturally doesn't have much contact with these business tricks.
"Lu Lao, although it is said that small profits can be sold more, but that is only for ordinary items, but if it is a rare object, that is, it is rare and expensive, Jiangning officials and dignitaries are everywhere, and there are many wealthy families of businessmen, this part of the people actually buy goods, often only choose the expensive, not the right one. As long as the item makes them feel superior, or more noble and respectable than others, they will often spend money to buy it. No one has me, no one has me, that's the truth. Cao Yi explained.
"Shosho Boy...... What a cunning! But this business way is just a small way after all, you are extraordinarily talented, brilliant in literature, so talented, you should be familiar with the books of sages, and gaining fame is the right way, don't take a fork in the road......" The madman said on the side.
No matter how wild and uninhibited the temperament of the madman is, after all, he still can't get out of the category of literati in this era, and most of the literati have the idea of worrying about the country and the people. From the contact of these days, from the original "Autumn River Flower Moonlight Night" to "Water Tune Song Head", and then to today's "Drunken Flower Yin", "Fixing the Storm" and many other poems, Cao Yi's talent and learning do not need to be discussed, but from Cao Yi's actions and dialogues in the past, it seems that he is not at all impressed with his own talent and learning, or he is not impressed with fame, but is more interested in some side ways, which can be seen from the current restaurant, brewing new wine, to researching and cooking to satisfy the desire of the tongue to develop stir-fry cooking and then to the earlier farming incident.
Originally, with Cao Yi only fifteen years old, it is a good thing to touch more things, and he will always return to the right path, but Cao Yi is too demonic, and he feels that no matter what he does, he can do extremely well. Since the mad man said these words with such an attitude, he actually really moved his heart to cherish his talents, and wanted to bring Cao Yi back anyway.
Lu Lao also looked at Cao Yi at this time, he also wanted to see how Cao Yi would answer, in fact, Lu Lao was more worried than the madman, as soon as he came to Jiangning Academy, he had already opened the door to Cao Yi, and he could enter the school without exams, if it was placed on the usual students, he should have come to report early, but Cao Yi was stunned and shirked so far, and he had not come to school yet, and judging from the last conversation, it was still the pressure given by Mrs. Han to agree to come to Jiangning Mansion to study, if not, it is very likely that he will not come to school to do other things.
"Uh...... Crazy Gong, Lu Lao, the younger generation naturally knows the kindness of the two and the expectations for the next, but there are still more than four years before the next and the crown, and the next originally thought that the next few years are just to be a rich son, not to think too much about the fame, and try all things. Only by trying more can you increase your life perception and life experience. At present, I am still quite satisfied with this life, I didn't care about him in the name of the stupid son of the Cao family before, just do my own thing, not to mention that now there is the false praise and false reputation of the first genius in Jiangning. What will happen in the future, I haven't thought about it clearly now, but the madman and Lu Lao are kind, and the younger generations also know it, and always keep it in mind. Cao Yi's tone was sincere, and he was seriously replying to the two elders, sincere and frank, and his temperament was indeed as he wrote in "Fixing the Storm and Chongyang", which was spacious and tranquil, detached and free, and not limited to one thing
"A good sentence is that the world is insightful and knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article, since you have your own plans and plans, we won't say much." Lu Lao nodded lightly.
Then Cao Yi got up and went to talk and laugh with the talented people, as the master, he couldn't always be by the side of the old man and ignore the people of his generation over there.
The mad man looked at Cao Yi, who was mingling with the talented man over there, and said to Lu Lao: "We all ignore the fact that he is only fifteen years old and has just tied his hair, and there will be some childish temperament. has such an amazing talent for poetry, but he puts his hands aside and puts his mind on the path of business and cooking...... Ay! It's okay, as he said himself, there are still a few years to reach the crown, but in the past few years, Lu Gong, you have to beat it from time to time, Cao Yi, this kid is just too tired, I can't say too much, but you, as a direct teacher and supervisor of Jiangning Mansion, are still his teacher in name, teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy, in the end, such a good seedling, ruined in your hands, it is really going to be poked in the back, hahaha......"
When the mad man said about the back, he gloated, and he had a bad taste of dying and impoverishing immortal friends.
Lu Lao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The last time I went to place Mrs. Korea, I listened to Mrs. Cao, originally Cao Yi was not so indifferent, and even a little shy, but later he had a serious illness, and he was silent for a year, as if he had forgotten all his memories and looked at everything coldly. ”
"As a result, the first thing I said was to read books, and I locked myself in that room and read books for more than half a year, reading there, eating there, and sleeping there, to the point where I really forgot to sleep and eat, I guess I still like to read some subsets of scriptures and history, but I am young and playful, and I love to study some small paths, but it doesn't hurt." Old Lu stroked his long beard and continued.
"Cao Yi's temperament is not bad, you see that he is not at all sloppy now, but he is just cold, if it weren't for the opening of the restaurant today, others came to cheer, he would definitely not talk and laugh with those people, not that he is arrogant, but he himself thinks that it is more interesting to do something else than to deal with these talented scholars." The madman glanced at Cao Yi in the crowd and said.
Lu Lao thought for a while, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "There is no need to think about this matter, since we know what he thinks, how Cao Yi will develop in the future, let's see." ”
The mad man nodded and said yes, "That is, Cao Yi loves to think about some side doors, otherwise where can I eat and drink such good food and wine." ”
Picking up the wine cup in his hand, he drank slowly and savored it, "Old Lu, you also said before that Cao Yi is also very proficient in the way of hand talk, and calligraphy has already entered the room, isn't it that most of the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea are quite deep and have many achievements...... It's really a demon, and you don't know if you're happy or unhappy as a teacher. The madman shook his head and sighed.
