Chapter 38: Stubbornness

Early the next morning, Dong Ce grabbed the black coat and wore it while walking, and when he went out, it happened that the door next door also opened, and after a while, Cao Luorong yawned and strode out, as if he was aware of it, turned his head and glanced at Dong Ce, snorted disdainfully, and swaggered straight downstairs.

"Dong Gongzi, it's early." Liu Su walked out slowly with the little tiger in her arms, and hurriedly bowed when she saw Dong Ce.

"Early." Dong Ce nodded and walked downstairs with Liu Su.

"Liu Niangzi, maybe my words are very ruthless, but I have to tell you that even if it can grow up with the tigress again, it will either become a pest in the future, or it will be skinned!" Dong Ce said suddenly.

Liu Su sighed when she heard this, gently stroked the back of the little tiger, and said sadly: "Every time I think of its miserable life experience, Su'er's heart is as if someone has slashed her, but Su'er knows very well that whether it is a human or a beast, as a mother, who is willing to be separated from her child?" And if the child can't grow up under the care of his mother, what is there to love in this life? ”

When Dong Ce heard this, there was a sneer of self-deprecation on his face, but it was only fleeting, and he said, "If the tigress dies, do you really want to raise it?" Don't forget, you will get married one day, will your husband's family accept you to bring a tiger through the door? ”

"Alas......" Liu Su sighed lightly, looked at Dong Ce and said, "But I can't watch it fend for itself!" ”

"Why are you so stupid!" Dong Ce scolded secretly in his heart, and he didn't want to play Tai Chi with Liu Su anymore, so he volunteered: "Isn't there still me!" ”

"Ahh Liu Su was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Dong Gongzi is saying that you can cultivate Xiaohua?" ”

"Shout, even the name has been taken!" Dong Ce smiled secretly, nodded on his face, and said, "Could it be that Mrs. Liu can still find a more suitable candidate?" ”

Liu Su immediately fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until the two of them came to the lobby of Taihu Tower that Liu Su looked at Dong Ce and said, "It's true that apart from Dong Gongzi, Su'er can't think of a better candidate, but Su'er prefers that Xiaohua can reunite with her mother." ”

Looking at Liu Su's determined expression, Dong Ce couldn't say anything.

When the four of them gathered together, after using it too early, Lu Xiaoxiao proposed to go to the orchard for a visit, and everyone did not refuse.

Today's Dongting West Mountain is indeed a bit barren, after all, how developed the tourism industry can be in this year, and Taihu Tower is still under construction, in Dong Ce's view, just the Taihu Lake Tower is to be fully developed, at least three or five years have passed, not that people in this year do not seek efficiency, but are very blind, maybe their boss has not fully considered what kind of tourist area to build.

Although Dong Ce saw the problem, he didn't bother to intervene, and he didn't invest the money himself, so why bother to find guilt.

The range of the Lu family's orchard is huge, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, and there are many varieties of fruit trees planted, but none of them are ripe now!

But I have to say that the scenery is indeed good, even Cao Luorong, who was troublesome at the beginning, is calm in the beautiful scenery at the moment.

Dong Ce didn't know when he was separated from the three of them, and under the leadership of Li Hua, the steward of Taihu Tower, he walked through a ginkgo forest to an open meadow at the foot of the mountain.

"Master Dong, this is the small mentioned open space, are you satisfied?" Li Hua knew last night that Dong Ce was Lu Xiaoxiao's master, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off in terms of title.

Dong Ce glanced around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, although the land is a little smaller, the amount of tea trees is not very large now." Dong Ce said, stretched out his hand and pointed all the way along the ginkgo forest from the foot of the mountain, and said: "After transplanting the tea trees, remember to fence this circle and plant some vines and thorns to block it, because in the future, it will be weeded frequently, and it will be separated first to make it easier to take care of." ”

"The villain understands." Li Hua nodded, suddenly looked at Dong Ce and asked with a smile: "Master Dong, the tea tree villain you are going to plant also knows that in the spring of the past two years, the villain has used it to brew, and it is indeed fragrant and pleasant, but it is a pity that the villain picked some sun-dried the year before last, and it was less than a month to be able to, almost light and tasteless, and last year I got some for the master of steaming tea, and the tea cakes made as a result are also unsatisfactory, I don't know what Master Dong's tricks are?" ”

Li Hua said at the end, and hurriedly added: "Of course, how dare the villain inquire about Master Dong's secret method, just want to know if Master Dong can preserve the taste of this tea?" ”

Dong Ce smiled faintly and said, "If not, what am I doing with such a lot of effort!" ”

Li Hua understood as soon as he heard it, and he watched for a while, but he didn't say anything.

It's not Li Huayan's black tea garden, after all, this is the Lu family's industry, how can he be a commoner who can interfere, but if he can take over as the steward of the tea garden, he will have a great chance to be promoted to the chief steward of the entire Xishan!

Now the Lu family has four stewards in Xishan, respectively in Taihu Tower, wharf, orchard and fishery, but everyone knows that this is just the beginning, once the Lu family is fully developed in Xishan, then there must be a general manager, if he can take the first step and hold two positions, then the chance of promoting the general manager is naturally the greatest.

Knowing this, how could Li Hua's heart not be hot!

But he also knew that he didn't know anything about planting, and if he didn't fight for it, there was a good chance that it would fall on the orchard steward.

Looking at Li Hua's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Dong Ce smiled, how could he not see the little bit of Taoism in this guy's heart, if in his previous life, Dong Ce would not have paid attention, he chose people to believe in the art industry, however, in this environment, he had to think about it, if he pulled Li Hua, he would definitely try his best to talk to himself, and Lu Xiaoxiao was not alone.

"I know what you're trying to say!" Dong Ce took a step forward and looked at Steward Li and said: "However, Steward Li doesn't know anything about farming, but, in order to ensure that the tea trees can be planted properly, it can't be done without you Steward Li, so let's go back and talk to Xiao Qi, let you temporarily take the position of steward of the tea garden, but I can tell you first, you don't care about planting, you just need to supervise the construction of the tea garden, I want to see the results within two months, if there is no problem, it is to promote you to the steward of the tea garden, do you have any objections?" ”

Li Hua was overjoyed when he heard this: "How can the small one have objections, don't worry, the small one will definitely help the master supervise the construction of the tea garden!" ”

Although this tea garden has not yet been approved by the Lu family, it is two things to say whether people will build it for you or not, but Dong Ce is very sure, because no one does not love money, even if he has money.

"Young boy, Master Lu said he was ready to get on the boat." Liu Fu came behind Dong Ce and reminded.

Dong Ce couldn't help but feel troubled, he accompanied Liu Su to just want to get the little tiger, but he didn't expect to cross the lake, and Liu Su is very stubborn, she belongs to the master who doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, if it weren't for his kindness to be comforted by Bi Luochun, otherwise he would definitely turn around and go back at this moment.

After explaining some precautions to Li Hua, Dong Ce left the orchard with Liu Fu and walked towards the dock.

"Master, how's it going? I'm pretty happy with that place! After Lu Xiaoxiao saw Dong Ce coming, he stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"It's not bad, it's just that the place is a little smaller, but it doesn't matter, you can expand the mountain in the future, you can tell your father about this, don't let him plant fruit trees on the hillside." Dong Ce commanded.

"No problem, my dad would love me to do something, and he will definitely say yes." Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Well, in the future, you have to supervise more, ask if you don't understand, and learn more." Dong Ce nodded.

Lu Xiaoxiao lost his spirit when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "Master, it's not that you don't know, I really don't have much interest in these things, but if you have to hand it over to me, I just won't do it!" ”

Dong Ce immediately said angrily: "Are you also a man?" It's strange that Mrs. Liu looks down on you. ”

"Huh? Does it also matter? Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"Nonsense!" Dong Ce rolled his eyes and explained: "A woman like Liu Niangzi, what she cares about is not what you have, but whether you have it!" ”

"What does the master mean?" Lu Xiaoxiao said with a confused face.

"That's enough for two!" Dong Ce really wanted to pry open this girl's head to see if it was tofu or paste, but for the sake of his own business, he could only endure it!

The two of them got on the boat while talking, and at this moment Liu Suzheng was talking to Cao Luorong on the boat, and when they saw the two coming in, the two women immediately shut up.

This time, Cao Luorong didn't trouble Dong Ce again, Dong Ce was naturally happy, but Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Su began to talk and laugh, but if Dong Ce hadn't secretly reminded him from time to time, this kid would definitely get carried away.

The Xiaolou boat took advantage of the autumn east wind to travel all the way west, and at this speed, it was not a problem to go back and forth once a day, and they didn't need to spend the night on the boat.

This year, the speed of the boat is like this, if you use Dong Ce's speedboat in his previous life, it won't take half a day to run around Taihu Lake along the shore.

More than two hours later, when Dong Ce was about to finish reading "Gongsun Mingxiang", Liu Fu came in and said, "Young boy, I'm ready to go to the Great Wall ferry." ”

"Huh? The Great Wall Ferry? Dong Ce was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing Dong Ce's appearance in a daze, Liu Fu didn't say anything, and Cao Luorong's lukewarm voice came from the opposite side.

"Even Changcheng County doesn't know, you still sell tea!"

Dong Ce's brows furrowed after hearing this, this was the first thing he heard Cao Luorong say today! You said that if you marry such a woman and go home, isn't it boring to yourself?

"I really don't know what kind of tea there is in Changcheng County." Dong Ce said, looked at Cao Luorong and said, "Then you know, the moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng's fisherman is sleeping. Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. And who did it? ”

As soon as she heard this, Cao Luorong was stunned, pondered for a moment, and frowned: "There is no Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City!" ”

"it!" Dong Ce knew as soon as he heard it, it was over!

He then remembered that when he went to Hanshan Temple in his last life, the tour guide seemed to say that Hanshan Temple was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but there was no Northern and Southern Dynasties in this history.

"Cut, that's your loneliness!" Dong Ce could only hold on.

"Impossible, there is no temple in Gusu Mansion that I don't know!" Cao Luorong shook her head decisively.

"Then where do you say this poem came from? Did I do it? Do you think I, a businessman, can write poetry? Jokes, it's almost the same to do business! Dong Ce looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"This ......" Cao Luorong looked tangled, thought for a moment and said: "This poem is so profound, how can you, a businessman, do it, but there is indeed no Hanshan Temple in Gusu Mansion!" ”

"Well, Tongxuan Temple does!" Liu Su also spoke.

Dong Ce said with a bad face: "Let's just say that you are lonely and weak and don't believe it, Tongxuan Temple was built by Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms for nursing mothers, right?" ”

"Yes, it was indeed built by Sun Quan, but what does this have to do with Hanshan Temple?" Cao Luorong is even more confused, and it is rare that she will show this kind of expression.

"I didn't say it mattered." Dong Ce shrugged.

Seeing Dong Ce's appearance, Cao Luorong suddenly felt uncomfortable, and a nameless anger ignited in her chest.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Luorong said coldly.

"You think it's interesting to get to the bottom of it?" Dong Ce frowned, and began to flicker again: "The temple is a temple, the temple is not a temple, Taichang, Guanglu, and Honglu are all temples, nor are they temples, isn't a temple, a temple, a temple, and a nunnery not a temple?" As long as the Bodhisattva is there, two tiles and one cover, not a temple is also a temple, people are small temples, and you can't enter the eyes of your old law! ”

Being surrounded by Dong Ce, the two girls both had an expression of knowing but not knowing, Dong Ce thought: "Ming'er Laozi will let Wang Fuyan buy a small courtyard and hang Hanshan Temple directly, see what else you have to say!" ”

Maybe Dong Ce didn't notice it himself, he said that Liu Su was stubborn, but in fact, he was even more stubborn!
