Chapter 173: Pear Blossoms Bring Rain

Hou Yanmin really has good tea on her, which is the best Longjing given to her by Li Feibai. She smiled, didn't speak, and went into the fire room to boil water. He was busy preparing a few dried fruits, and when he brought them out and put them on the stone table, the water was already boiling. She took a bowl to brew tea, took it out and put it on the stone table, and said, "Old man, please!" ”

The old beggar lifted the lid and sniffed it, saying, "Good tea!" It's Longjing, and it's the kind of best tribute. ”

Hou Yanmin knew that this tea was Longjing, and it was the best tribute Longjing, but this was from Li Feibai. I saw that the old beggar didn't taste it, but when he smelled it, he knew that it was Longjing, which was nothing strange, and it was estimated that anyone who drank Longjing could smell it. However, it is definitely not simple to be able to distinguish that it is not an ordinary dragon well but a superb Shanggong dragon well just by smelling it.

It is enough to prove that this old beggar used to drink the best tribute Longjing, otherwise he could distinguish it by smelling it. She didn't dare to underestimate this old beggar, and secretly said in her heart: "Could it be that you have met a master?" The respect in his demeanor was a little more, and he lost his previous hypocrisy.

The old beggar took a sip of tea, peeled a peanut and threw it in his mouth, chewed it, and said, "You are Li Feibai's daughter-in-law!" This kid is a little lucky to be able to marry a handsome daughter-in-law like you. ”

Hou Yanmin was not angry, but hung her head with a blushing face, and there was a burst of sweetness in her heart. Suddenly, she was surprised that she had such a reaction in her heart, how could she not be angry but secretly happy, should she really like Li Feibai!

How is this possible, how can I fall in love with an illiterate guy. In her imagination, her best partner should be a personable nobleman, who can recite poetry and do right, and you write poems and I paint before the moon, what a desirable life it is. What kind of leisure and elegance is there with a guy like Li Feibai, a person who doesn't know how to draw, she gets angry when she looks at it, how can she like him.

However, the heart does not deceive, and it turns out that she just likes him. The reason should be that Li Feibai spoils her too much! Let her do everything, never underestimate her arrogance and be very tolerant of her, so that she feels at home.

She felt terrified that she had this mood, but she was afraid that in the end, it would be 'falling flowers intentionally following the flowing water, and the flowing water ruthlessly negative falling flowers', because from Li Feibai's face, she had never seen a liking for her, which could also be seen from Li Feibai not letting her enter the cellar. Since Li Feibai is ruthless, why should she be intentional.

Since the old beggar can see that she is interested in Li Feibai, other people can also see that they must be cautious in the future, but they must not let people see her thoughts again.

Thinking of this, Hou Yanmin's eyes looked at the entrance of the cellar intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't know what Li Feibai and Tang Zilan were talking about?

There were two silver piercings in the cellar, one of which had a shelf full of large silver, and the other had a shelf with small silver. Not far from the counter, there was a round hole leading to the top, and the opening was covered with an iron fence with a gap in the middle of the fence for the arm to pass through.

A rope hung through a crack in the iron fence and was tied to a bamboo basket. If the person above needs to pay for the silver, he can tell the person below to put the silver in the basket and pull it up with a rope to get the silver. If the person on the top wants to store the silver, he can pull the basket up first, then put the silver in and send it to the bottom.

Li Feibai nodded while watching, and said in his mouth: "Not bad!" Seeing that Tang Zilan's face was not good, he said with a smile: "Why is the boss so faceless, as if I owe you tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

Tang Zilan said: "Earlier, there was a person named Liu Yangming who came here to get silver with a letter with your seal and handprint, saying that you want to build a mountain road for dozens of miles? ”

Li Feibai said: "That's right! Give him the money. ”

Tang Zilan didn't answer, but continued to ask: "A few days ago, I went to the Yamen to get silver, and Zhao Xuefei took the letter with your seal and handprint, and forcibly withheld 75,000 taels of silver. ”

Li Feibai said: "That's right! Did he save the money? ”

Tang Zilan didn't answer again, and said, "What are you doing building mountain roads in the wilderness?" Tens of thousands of taels of silver were thrown out in vain. What are you doing when you buy Zhao Xuefei's coal cellar and iron smelting institute, who doesn't know that it is two loss-making transactions, not only does it cost 75,000 taels to buy the cellar, but it also costs 75,000 taels to pay the arrears of labor and food, and you can still hear a sound when you throw 150,000 taels into the water, and you can't even hear a sound when you take over these two transactions! ”

Li Feibai ate two deflated in a row, and then did not speak.

Tang Zilan continued: "Zhao Xuefei's 75,000 taels were sent back, but there were conditions, 5,000 taels had to be paid to people a year, and the principal and interest had to be paid in five years, and in the blink of an eye, there were 25,000 taels left." What are you doing by keeping your mouth shut, but explain it to me! ”

Li Feibai said coldly: "I asked you to put all the money in the bank before, just eat an interest." It's you who don't want to say, no matter what business I do, you have to share it with me. What, it's just the beginning, and you regret it? ”

Tang Zilan was stunned. That's right, she said this, but because she said such a thing, it was only because Li Feibai was full of ambition at that time, and she looked like she was making sure that she would not lose money, which made her mistakenly think that Li Feibai had a big business with money, so she was desperate to get involved. Who knows, Li Feibai did two losses at the beginning, so she couldn't lose any more business, so how could she not worry about her money.

But what she said can't be denied, that's not her Tang Zilan's style. She thought for a while, choked up, and said, "No one's silver is blown by the wind, and my silver is left to me by my mother." You threw out the little 200,000 taels of silver like this, you have to inform me and discuss it with me! ”

Li Feibai saw that Tang Zilan's eyes were slightly red, and the pear blossoms were raining, Chu Chu was pitiful, and he couldn't keep a straight face anymore, and said: "It doesn't take tens of thousands of taels to repair that mountain road, only more than 10,000 taels." ”

Tang Zilan let out an "oh", not believing that a mountain road for dozens of miles only cost more than 10,000 taels.

Li Feibai then explained: "The reason why I built this mountain road is because I built two more factories in Xiapan Village. A brick and tile factory, a cement factory. To build a factory, you have to transport things out, how to transport things out without building roads. ”

Although Tang Zilan and Li Feibai had a short time, they also said a lot of things along the way, knowing Li Feibai's style of speaking, and knowing that the so-called factory is a cellar.

She said, "What are you building a brick factory for?" That thing makes a few bucks. Even if it is built, with a small county like Jiyuan, how many bricks and tiles can be used all year round, and how much money does it make? Even if you covet that little money, you can build it near the county seat. In order to make that little money, I specially built a road, when will I be able to return to my capital? Also, what is a cement plant. ”

Li Feibai said with a smile: "Jiyuan didn't need a few bricks and tiles a year before, and it couldn't make a little money by building a brick and tile factory. Why did this happen, it was because I had been nesting in the mountains before, just like Zhuge Kongming, planning the world's major events in the mountains. Now, I am out of the mountain, and the bricks and tiles required by Jiyuan will be a number that ordinary abacus can't calculate, and the income will not be a small money, but a big money. Just the money for road repair, I can earn it back in ten days and half a month. ”

Tang Zilan didn't speak, just listened quietly. But the meaning of the expression on his face is very obvious, just two words, bragging.
