Chapter Fifty-Three: The Winery Worker
After training for a while, Lin Xifeng told them what to do and what to do on the field according to the position of each player, which benefited the team members a lot. Lin Xifeng's explanation is naturally not comparable to Li Yingcheng, who himself knows little about these Taos.
In the evening, Lin Xifeng walked towards the Lin Mansion, and the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually became stronger.
Liu Curtain is still sewing clothes, naturally it is Lin Xifeng's one, on normal days, if she has nothing to do, she will stay at home and not go out, and she has long been used to such days.
Lin Xifeng walked into the room, poured the water soaked in mink, changed another basin and continued to soak it, then took out a few months cakes from the storage bag, walked into the side room, handed it to Liu Lian'er, and said with a smile: "This is a small cake bought in Hangzhou City at noon, try it!" The taste is very good. ”
"Xianggong went to Hangzhou City again today?" Liu Lian'er put down the needle and thread, took the small cake in Lin Xifeng's hand, and looked at him with a sweet smile.
"Hmm." Lin Xifeng nodded with a smile, turned around and took off the rice paper, pen and ink on the cabinet, and spread it on the table, practicing calligraphy is what he must do every night.
Seeing that Lin Xifeng didn't mean to explain, Liu Lian'er didn't ask very well, and then gently opened the rice paper, and sent the small cake into Tan's mouth with bright eyes suspiciously, chewed a few bites, and before she could swallow it, she had already smiled and showed a surprised smile: "Xianggong, this little cake is really delicious, Curtain Er has never eaten such a delicious small cake in her life!" ”
Driven by a smile, Lin Xifeng glanced at her with slightly squinted eyes, and then lowered his head to spread the rice paper and pressed it with a paperweight to prevent the breeze outside the window from lifting the rice paper: "Eat more if it's delicious!" I bought a lot of them, enough for you to eat. ”
Although it was delicious, Liu Lian'er was still a lady, pecking at the cake in a small bite, and at the end, she muttered to herself, I don't know if she was asking Lin Xifeng, or talking to herself: "Such a delicious cake, it should be very expensive......"
The first thing she thought of was not to eat more if it was delicious, but how expensive this cake should be, and she seemed to forget that the tavern had earned dozens of dollars for the Lin family, because she had not yet come out of the poverty of the previous days.
"It's okay, it's not expensive." Lin Xifeng smiled and said perfunctorily, if you say that this small cake is forty yuan a piece, Liu Lian'er may be so frightened that the small cake is still left, and it will be a few pennies in one bite! It's too extravagant.
Hearing Lin Xifeng's words, Liu Lian'er dared to continue to eat the small cakes, and then jumped off the bed, holding the small cakes in his left hand, and studying the fragrant ink for Lin Xifeng with his right hand, while saying with a smile: "I have been practicing for a few days, and Xianggong's words are also getting better and better......
Lin Xifeng dipped his pen in ink, surrounded by her babbling self-talk, chuckled and raised his head to meet the bright and clear eyes of the willow curtain like stars, and the beautiful peach blossom eyes were exuding a moving look, locking his figure in it.
After looking at it for a while, it wasn't until Liu Lian'er's strength in grinding ink became smaller and smaller, and he forgot to eat small cakes, and he was so shy that he wanted to hang his head, so he turned to smile and write a pen on rice paper and gently inscribe a line of regular script:
"I've made sure I've met the right person."
This line of writing, he wrote sonorously and forcefully, and was extremely serious.
……
In the early morning, before the rooster crows, the chirping of cicadas has already pierced the silent air, and the window gradually brightens.
Lin Xifeng jumped up from the bed with a carp, finished washing, and went out of the Lin Mansion, playing with nunchucks, while running along the shore of the West Lake in the northeast direction.
In the early morning, Xihu County was peaceful and silent, but there were also some vendors in the morning market who pushed carts towards the market, but Lin Xifeng's dazzling nunchucks in his hands made the passing hawkers can't help but look sideways.
"Morning! Lin Gongzi. ”
"Lin Gongzi is early!"
……
On the way, some people who knew Lin Xifeng greeted him, but no one asked him what the nunchuck in his hand was, so Lin Xifeng naturally responded with a smile.
After running to a pavilion at the crossing of the Su Causeway, Lin Xifeng turned a corner and ran along the Su Causeway to the southeast.
The prosperity on the opposite side of the West Lake is not inferior to West Lake County, there are some painting boats tied to the shore, this is the favorite thing of the literati and ink writers boating in the middle of the lake, the mansions on the shore are generally more and bigger than West Lake County, Lin Xifeng, who ran to the end of the Su Causeway, looked at the opposite side for a while, and then pouted: "It won't be long before you have to look up to West Lake County......
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xifeng was chopping wood in the courtyard, and suddenly there was a knock outside the door, asking who it was, Ye Tianling responded with a smile outside the door: "Brother Lin, it's me." ”
The willow curtain that was shaking the folding fan for Lin Xifeng hurriedly ran to the door and opened the door, and Ye Tianling led a group of people behind him to follow in.
"Brother Lin, I have found you all the people you want, these eight people are all good at brewing, you will meet first!" Leading everyone to the front and back, Ye Tianling hugged his fists and smiled, and then pointed to one of the middle-aged bearded men in his forties: "This master's name is Fu Zhong, and he is their leader, you can talk to him!" ”
After saying this, Ye Tianling took a step back with a smile on his face, and gave the topic to Lin Xifeng and others, he was just a matchmaker, and he naturally couldn't intervene in things like price negotiation later.
"Master Fu and all of you, I'm glad to meet you in the next place." Lin Xifeng hurriedly dropped the blunt axe and smiled at everyone.
"Lin Gongzi doesn't need to salute, we are all five big and three rough people, we can only make wine, and we don't do it when we do all these rituals." Although Fu Zhong said this, he also smiled and hugged Lin Xifeng, but his demeanor and movements were like a knight in the green forest.
"Hehe, Master Fu is a cheerful person, no matter what, I don't like to be polite, let's get straight to the point! The wages I give you are two layers on the basis of the usual wages of the brewing workers in Hangzhou, I don't know what Master Fu wants? Lin Xifeng likes to deal with such people, how good it is to be informal and unpretentious, and to be straightforward.
When Fu Zhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lin Xifeng should also test their wine-making skills, such as asking some ordinary knowledge about wine-making, etc., but now seeing that Lin Xifeng was so happy to talk about wages, he was stunned for a while.
Lin Xifeng is naturally not a fool, but he thinks that judging from Ye Tianling's attitude towards him in the past few days, he will definitely not find a few random people to fool him, and if he messes up the wine shop, Ye Tianling will not be able to let go of his own face, besides, let him ask some knowledge about winemaking, he can't ask for a while, because he himself doesn't know much about this business.
