Chapter 9 The fat man treats you
followed the fat man to an inn in front, and it happened that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he came to find the fat man to rub the rice.
There is a table of dishes on the table by the window, a jar of wine, all of which are ordered by the fat man to move out of the back kitchen directly, this inn is opened by his friend, more casual, but it is a pity that he is a Tang person, and the idea of feudal superstition is deeply rooted in his mind, especially the theory of ghosts and gods, and he is extremely convinced.
Lin Fan grasped the superstitious thoughts of the ancients, so that he could make up a non-existent theory of ghosts and gods to fool the fat man and others.
The theory of ghosts and gods has been circulated for thousands of years and is still stable in the hearts of the people, even in the prosperous later generations, there are still many people, especially those who have not received much ideological education, and the inferior roots of the later generations of developed science and technology are still there, not to mention in the feudal era like the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Fan didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he was unscrupulous, and the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, so even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they would rather believe it and avoid worries.
The food is very fragrant, the wine is very pure, although it is not better than the later generations, but it is also one of the best in the entire Chang'an City, and it is still a little unaccustomed, but it will be over the next, as the saying goes, if it comes, it will be safe, Lin Fan is a more satisfied person, what kind of life do you have money, what kind of life do you have, what kind of life do you have.
The fat man is very enthusiastic, this is something Lin Fan has never seen before, not long ago he was cold to him, at the moment he is as enthusiastic as an old friend, Lin Fan really admires the fat man's heart, but think about it carefully, the businessmen of later generations are also this kind of heart, they can bend and stretch, as long as it is profitable for them, they can do anything, no treachery, no business, the truth since ancient times.
"The boss is so gracious, could it be that what you said is very important?"
The fat man laughed and said: "Lin Gongzi is really extraordinary, a certain family understands if he doesn't know his mind...... Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, today I just want to ask Lin Gongzi to help me do something, about the house. ”
Lin Fan actually knew it for a long time, but he still pretended not to understand, "Oh, what kind of house is the boss talking about?" ”
The fat man stumbled a few words, and finally took a sip of wine and plucked up the courage to say, "It's the house I wanted to sell you before...... You also know the house, hey, I didn't know about the situation before, but fortunately you informed me of the situation yesterday, otherwise...... Hey, not to mention this, I'm afraid it's hard to sell this kind of house now, but it's a pity to be abandoned there, and Lin Gongzi is very bold and not afraid of those things, so I want to ...... I want to ......"
"If you have any requests, don't hesitate to mention them."
The fat man said seriously: "If Lin Gongzi doesn't mind, can you take over that house, you can get rid of those ghosts, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"I didn't want to buy it before, but today it's so refreshing." Lin Fan blinked and smiled and asked, "Could it be that those ghosts are making trouble for you?" ”
The fat man looked left and right in horror, but he still reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, and said with a smile: "No, no ・・・・・・"
Lin Fan smiled, deliberately silent, and after eating a few bites of food, he deliberately sighed: "Although I am not afraid of ghosts, I want to buy such a big ......."
"Don't worry, Lin Gongzi, I didn't sell it to you, I want to give it to you."
Hearing the fat man say this, Lin Fan wanted to laugh, it seems that the dead fat man was scared enough last night, and he must believe 100% what he taught Xiaoxue last night.
"The fat boss won't just give away the house."
The fat man was embarrassed to touch his head, and said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi is really smart and clever, so he can see the intentions of a certain family...... Actually, this is what a certain family is talking about. ”
Lin Fan continued to eat and waited for the fat man to continue, "If Lin Gongzi encounters it again, I want to ask Lin Gongzi to help me give those ...... Those ghosts say good things, and what I say there today is just a joke, don't take it to heart, and whatever I've said before, don't take it to heart...... Lin Gongzi, can you agree to this request? ”
Lin Fan felt funny, the ancients were afraid of ghosts and gods to this extent, but it is not strange to think about it, the supreme emperor believes in the mandate of heaven, not to mention the people below? Lin Fan felt incredible, just because he came from a developed later life, if he was also a native of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that this would not be the case now.
For some reason, Lin Fan always wanted to tease this lovely Tang man again, and he was already very satisfied, but he still sighed lightly: "Psychic with ghosts...... This...... You also know that this will cost me my life, and if it is serious, I will die, not to mention that you have given me a worthless haunted house, this deal ......"
"Hehe, Lin Gongzi's meaning is understood." The fat man smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and there were a lot of them at a glance, "This is a little bit of a certain family, and I hope that Lin Gongzi will accept it." ”
Lin Fan's face has never been thin, he is not a government official, he can't talk about accepting bribes, he naturally took a look, there were ten times, his hand slipped into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Since the boss is so sincere, then I will no longer shirk it, I will help you say good things in front of those unjust souls, and try not to let them trouble you."
The fat man smiled: "Not as much as possible, not as much as possible, never."
Lin Fan nodded with a smile, drank a few more glasses with the fat man, and got up to leave when he saw that the food was almost finished, and returned to the Yilin Inn after collecting the deed and copper.
"Lin Fan, if you don't do business, it's really a waste of your head, you can easily get a house as soon as you make a move, and you can get an extra ten yuan of money, it's rare, it's really rare."
Chen Laosan, who took the time to inquire about the outcome of the matter, knew what had happened, and admired Lin Fan so much that he threw himself to the ground, and at the end he blamed Lin Fan for not calling him such an opportunity to play tricks on the fat man.
Lin Fan smiled and promised Chen Laosan to call him next time he had something fun, and after chatting a few words, he got up and went home, Chen Laosan also had his own things to be busy with, and the abandoned house in Yayu Township naturally became Lin Fan's, Chen Laosan was a man of words.
hired a carriage and soon arrived at the door of the house, grandfather, father, and mother were very puzzled when they saw that Lin Fan had hired a carriage so often these days, they knew that after Lin Fan bought rice and salt and other daily necessities from the shopkeeper in advance of 200 wen on the same day, there was not much left, and he had to get 20 wen back and forth from Chang'an to the door of the house, he had so much money to toss like this?
"In five days, it will be Qingming, mother, this money will be used to buy sacrifices, and this year we will sacrifice our ancestors."
The mother, who was still wondering why Lin Fan had the money to hire a carriage, was surprised and delighted when she saw her son stuffing a small bag of money in her hand, she was heavy enough to have consistent money, she had never grabbed so much money at one time, staring at the copper in the money bag and stunned.
"Where did the money come from?" Grandfather, father, and mother asked this sentence almost in unison.
"Foolishly." Lin Fan didn't care about answering a sentence and went out, and the rest of the nine guan money was put here for himself first, if it was given to his parents at one time, they must have thought that they had stolen it and robbed it.
