As the winter moon begins, the northwest wind is chilling and the chill is even stronger.

In a courtyard in Chongmingfang in the east of Bianjing City, Ya'er was holding a book and reading the content of the book according to the book: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say it; There are friends from afar, and they are happy; People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen. He read it in his mouth, but there was no joy on his face, and there was even some meaning of curling his mouth.

This is the day half a month after she and Sun Tu moved out of Tong's Mansion, because there is an entry from Liufangju, Sun Tu no longer has to worry about life, so he moved out from there with Tong Muti, and found a small courtyard in Chongmingfang, not far from the restaurant, to rent it.

It's just that Sun Tu did not relax his homework on learning words and martial arts, and Ya'er was forced by him to spend a lot of time reading and reading every day, and now he has begun to learn to read the Analects. But obviously, the little girl is really not so interested in this, and when it comes to reading, she always looks unhappy.

It wasn't until Sun Tu finished the few notebooks in his hand and took out a few chocolates from his sleeve and handed them over that the little girl's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and while eating, she smiled and said, "Thank you, third brother." ”

"You, be careful if you eat too much and you will gain weight." Sun Tu touched Yaer's hair dotingly and said with a smile, this little girl has shown the characteristics of a foodie, and she can't put it down because of the candy and snacks he took out of the warehouse, and she can't eat enough, but she is not so interested in serious meals.

While he was talking, a person suddenly came in front of the open courtyard gate, and after looking at Sun Tu, he hugged his fists: "Dare to ask if this is Sun Sanlang's house?" ”

"Who are you?" Sun Tu asked while letting Ya'er into the house, looking at the visitor. Just by looking at the brocade robe that this person is wearing, you can see that he is not an ordinary person.

When the person who came heard him say this, he was sure in his heart, and stepped into the courtyard and saluted: "Sun Sanlang, let me wait to find a place." In the next Zhang Jian, I came here today to discuss with you. ”

"But what?" Sun Tu didn't mean to invite him into the house to speak, and his expression and tone were also very cold.

Zhang Jian didn't think it was wrong, and said bluntly at the moment: "I heard that the fried chicken in Liufangju was made by Sun Sanlang in your idea, but I don't know if I can sell the recipe to you." Of course, the price is negotiable, and you can buy it for 100 taels of gold, what do you think? ”

One hundred taels of gold is already a very high price in this world, and in Zhang Jian's opinion, how can a young man in Sun Tu resist his temptation. But he didn't expect Sun Tu to not even hesitate, so he replied: "Do you know that there are my dry shares in Liufangju, although there are a lot of gold taels, but it will not last long." ”

"This ...... I am willing to pay five hundred taels of gold. Zhang Jian gritted his teeth, increased the price fivefold and said, "Sun Sanlang, what I want is just the recipe, and it's not that Liufangju is not allowed to sell fried chicken anymore." With such a good deal, you won't shirk it, right? ”

Sun Tu looked at each other with a smile, these businessmen's ears and eyes are really well-informed, and they have only been able to find the door after they moved out of Tong's house for half a month. Obviously, the stir-fried vegetables and fried chicken launched by Liufangju did steal the business of many peers, making people in other hotels a little unable to sit still.

But he didn't mean to cooperate with them, because his relationship with Tong Mu was here, so he could betray them for some money? Second, the so-called fried chicken recipe is those seasoning powders taken out of the warehouse, so how can it be said?

So Sun Tu just shook his head: "Boss Zhang, please go back, there is no need to mention this matter." ”

"Sun Sanlang, everything is easy to discuss, you have to feel that the money is not enough, we can talk again." The other party thought that he was sitting on the ground, so he continued to persuade patiently.

Just when Sun Tu was a little impatient and wanted to drive people away, another person came to the gate of the courtyard, hugged Sun Tu and said, "Sun Sanlang, my master invites you to go to Yixu." ”

"Huh? Who is your master? Sun Tu looked at this lazy-looking man and asked with doubts.

"My master is Lu Zhishen of Xiangguo Temple." The man explained.

Sun Tu was worried about making such an excuse to drive Zhang Jian away, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "This dare is good." Boss Zhang, I'm going to see a friend, so ......" said and made a gesture of please.

Zhang Jian also saw at this time that the other party really didn't want to make this deal with him, so he could only sigh and leave with some regret. And Sun Tu said a few words to Ya'er when he went back to the house to let her study at home, and after he came back, he would spot check, then closed the courtyard door and went in the direction of Xiangguo Temple with the man.

Seeing him leave, Ya'er playfully stuck out her tongue, put aside the book of Analects in her hand, and took out the book from her room and read it. The biggest advantage of literacy for her is that she can read some novels that she can't understand before, especially those who specialize in writing stories of talented and beautiful women, and her appetite is the most, so that she unconsciously substitutes herself and her third brother into the heroes and heroines of the story......

During this period of time, the relationship between Sun Tu and Lu Zhishen has indeed deepened, but most of the time he invited the other party to eat and drink, and this is the first time he has been invited to Xiangguo Temple to meet.

With that man leading the way, Sun Tu no longer had to be completely confused as he was a few months ago, and soon saw a large vegetable garden on the northwest corner of Xiangguo Temple, and in one of the open spaces, three tiled houses were also built.

In such a winter month, Lu Zhishen was still wearing only a single coat, and he was withstanding the five men with the strength of one person, and with his low shout, these people staggered to the ground, showing the difference in strength between the two sides.

Lu Zhishen, who was holding back his strength, laughed as soon as he saw Sun Tu coming: "San Lang, this is the first time you have come to me, right?" ”

"Brother Lu is invited, it's really my first time here." Sun Tu stepped forward with a smile to salute, and then looked at the few men who had just gotten up from the ground, just looking at their faces and sturdy bodies, he knew that they were not good people.

"A few of you have come and seen Sun Sanlang, the brother of the Sprinkle family. Don't look at him as young, but in terms of knowledge and courage, he is far stronger than you. Lu Zhishen immediately said to those men.

A few people stepped forward to salute with some suspicion, in their opinion, how much ability a young man can have, don't be deliberately touted by his own master in order to take care of the other party. However, in front of Lu Zhishen, they didn't say much, so they just said their names, and their attitudes were quite acceptable.

Sun Tu greeted them one by one, and then asked Lu Zhishen: "Why did Brother Lu specially invite me to come?" ”

"Of course it's a good thing. During these days, the family has been affected by you, and I have eaten a lot of good wine and meat, and I naturally don't want to go, and today I finally let people find a jar of good wine, so naturally I can't forget you, brother. As he spoke, he glanced over, and someone brought over a large wine jar beside him.

After opening the mud seal, a strong aroma of wine quickly dispersed, making the faces of everyone who smelled the smell intoxicated: "What a good wine!" ”

"Master, this is a good wine that has been hidden in the Fan Mansion for thirty years, you can taste it." A man stammered and filled a big bowl for Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen had already been hooked by the aroma of the wine, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately picked up the wine bowl and poured the clear wine down, and sighed at the end: "Good wine!" ”

It was only then that several other people poured out the wine and poured a bowl for Sun Tu. Sun Tu took a sip slowly, and found that the taste of this wine was indeed very mellow, but in terms of strength, it was still far from being comparable to the second pot, so there was not much reaction.

But the others were different, it was rare to drink such good wine, and they couldn't stop drinking it, and after a few glasses of wine, their faces were red, and they talked more, and the whole courtyard seemed to be particularly noisy.

Lu Zhishen was also very excited, laughing loudly with everyone, telling all kinds of his past experiences, and the atmosphere was warm.

But at this moment, there was a sudden cry of crows from the tree overhead, which actually overshadowed the sound of everyone's conversation, making the words of these men pause, and Lu Zhishen's conversation was also paused, and his face was unhappy: "This is a very broken bird, and it is actually noisy again!" ”
