Chapter 562: A person with ability has a character (I)
In this world, anyone who has a little ability has a character.
Lao Sun Tou saw that a little scholar-like person whispered something in the ear of the old gentleman opposite, Xu felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to sit opposite, so he stood up, thanked Yang Huairen for inviting him to drink tea, and then changed seats.
Yang Huairen hurriedly beckoned him to sit down and briefly introduced Lan Ruoxin, as for her disguise as a woman, he didn't hide it too much, because he could already see from the eyes of the old grandson looking at Lan Ruoxin, he had already guessed Lan Ruoxin's woman's body.
"Hehe," the old grandson said with a smile, "the old man said, your scholars are too handsome, and they are much more beautiful than those little ladies in the rich compound." ”
Yang Huairen's confession also won some favor from the old grandson, but this confession is also reserved, such as Yang Huairen's true identity, which must not be revealed in the city at the moment.
"My brother smiled, my daughter said that she wanted to go into the city with me to see the world, but she was afraid that there would be a lot of inconvenience if she was not familiar with life, so she pretended to be a boy for some reason."
Lan Ruoxin hadn't figured out what the identity of the old man surnamed Sun who was sitting opposite Yang Huairen was, but seeing that Yang Huairen was respectful to him, he also respectfully blessed the old grandson.
Yang Huairen was very relieved that Lan Ruoxin had really changed a lot and became more feminine. This may also mean that she has truly let go of her identity as the second leader of a big gang in the rivers and lakes and is willing to stay by his side.
What about the old grandson, after all, he is a person who has lived in a market like Xishi all his life, and he is somewhat vulgar, he looked at Yang Huairen, and then at Lan Ruoxin, with a slight smile on his face.
"Really, sir, what's that word called...... By the way, you should be old and strong, hehe......"
Yang Huairen didn't react to what he meant at first, but then he saw that Lan Ruoxin's face suddenly flushed, and he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but scold the old grandson in his heart, you old and improper!
The old gentleman he dressed up looked like he had to be in his sixties if he was not seventy, although he said that Lan Ruoxin was his daughter, but the clear-eyed person couldn't help but notice the love from Lan Ruoxin's eyes when he looked at Yang Huairen.
It is also common for people to take concubines in these years, especially for scholars with a bit of status or good family background, and accepting a concubine who is thirty or forty years younger than him, it is also something worth bragging about.
The world's vision is not taken for granted, and there must be discussions and slanders behind it.
Perhaps in the eyes of the old grandson, an old gentleman of Si Swenwen was afraid of this kind of worldly vision, so he brought his concubine into the city, and pretended to be his daughter in order to cover up.
This kind of thing did not escape the old spicy eyes of the old grandson, and Yang Huairen naturally did not explain too much, Lan Ruoxin did not show a gloomy face, but looked at Yang Huairen's embarrassed appearance, as if he was snickering in his heart.
"Uh......"
How can Yang Huairen talk about this matter? It's better to get down to business.
"I just heard from my brother that you are a craftsman in the civil and construction industry?"
Old Sun Tou beckoned Dr. Tea to add hot water to the pots of tea on their table, poured a full cup for Lan Ruoxin, and waved his hand to signal her to sit down and talk as well.
"Mm-hmm, exactly."
He paused, "Since the old gentleman invited me to tea today, if there is any such work at home in the future, the elder brother can help you contact a few boys to do it, and I will pay for it." ”
"Hehe, that's not necessary."
When Yang Huairen heard this, he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that before he could ask, the old grandson agreed first. Of course, the difference between the small work he said in his mouth and the big work in Yang Huairen's family is also quite big.
"But then again, the old man's family really has the work of building a new big yard, and the amount of work is huge, I don't know if Brother Sun can handle it."
When Lan Ruoxin heard this, she seemed to think of something, could it be that this unattractive old grandson was the one surnamed Sun among the eight leaders of the construction industry she inquired about?
She glanced at Yang Huairen half puzzled and half surprised, and Yang Huairen squinted at her to express that they were thinking the same thing, and the answer was naturally in the next answer of the old grandson on the other side.
Lao Sun Tou is now close to the age of six, as a leader, many tasks do not need him to do personally, not to mention that there is no big work recently, it is all idle small work, he is only responsible for contacting it, and instructing his children and grandchildren or disciples to do it.
With his qualifications in this industry, he is qualified to put on a score, which is perhaps the character that a genius craftsman should have in every trade.
He pondered that he had personally participated in the construction of new palaces in the palace back then, was there a bigger project or work in this world than building a palace for the official family? Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh.
Perhaps the so-called huge project in the old gentleman's mouth is nothing more than a new mansion of ten acres and eight acres on the foundation of his own house in the countryside.
"My grandson is not afraid of the old man's jokes, to say something unashamed, inside and outside the city of Tokyo, you can inquire, there is no project that my Sun Jiangshan can't do, no matter how big the project, I can say a word."
Yang Huairen naturally knew that this was Lao Sun Tou's bragging, but as a leader, he should have such pride and arrogance, but he didn't know how big the project Yang Huairen really wanted to do.
There is no need to be serious with him, and there is no need to pierce his cowhide, after all, his purpose is to recruit the old grandson and the team of craftsmen behind him for his own use.
So when it comes to this, it's better to show the hole cards directly.
"Covering an area of 300 acres, an institution larger than Guozijian and Taixue, Brother Sun may take it over?"
The old grandson was stunned, and he trembled, and the tea cup he had just picked up in his hand shook violently, almost splashing the still hot tea on his placket.
He suddenly remembered a recent rumor in the city of Tokyo, which said that the first stunned prince of Tokyo, Tongyuan County, who had been in the limelight recently, wrote to the imperial court that he would build a new kitchen academy in a large wasteland behind his Zhuangzi Mountain.
Yang Huairen, the prince of Tongyuan County, must have heard of it, and there have been a lot of rumors about him this year.
From how superb his cooking skills were, to how he led the 3,000 border troops in Huanzhou to defeat the elite of the 20,000 Xia army, until some time ago, he also led the troops to clash with the Pu Wangfu, and some of them were turned into jokes by some storytellers and sung in the tea shop restaurant.
From the bottom of his heart, he admires such a somewhat legendary figure, but the fact that the Tongyuan County Duke wants to build a kitchen academy to teach cooks sounds exciting to him as a craftsman, but it makes people feel a little child's play.
