"Your sweet water doesn't look like honey, it doesn't look like sweet fruit, it tastes very good, how did you get it?"

"Hehe, sir, this sweet water is our family's secret, since my grandfather's generation, it has been selling sweet water to spend the day, so no one will tell it. ”

Franky took out another gold coin, handed it to the old man, and said, "How about two gold coins?" ”

The old man looked at the two gold coins in Flandie's hand and was not moved at all.

"Sir, I didn't tell him that someone had ever sold ten gold coins. ”

Flandi still doesn't believe it, this is not something as rare as a high-grade magic crystal, and gold coins can't be bought?

So he simply took out the bag containing the gold coins, put it on the table with a "pop", then opened the mouth of the bag, and said, "There are almost two hundred gold coins here, how is it?" Old man, can you tell me?"

The old man swallowed, looked at the bag of gold coins, and shook his head firmly.

"Old man, these two hundred gold coins are enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing in your life, isn't it enough?"

"Sir, you are right, but I still have a son, and a son and a son, and sooner or later these coins will be used up.

But the business of sweet water can be passed down from generation to generation, ensuring that my children and grandchildren can afford to eat. So you might as well take it back. ”

Seeing that the old man was still unmoved, Flandi admired it.

"How about a thousand gold coins? If you agree, I'll get you right away." ”

Not only the old man, but even the passers-by who were drinking sweet water next to him looked at Flandy's eyes.

The old man no longer looked at the bag of gold coins, nor at Frankie, and turned his face away, but a fine sweat was already forming on his forehead.

"A thousand gold coins is not enough, then ten thousand gold coins, as long as you tell me, I will go and get it now. ”

At this time, the old man couldn't hold back, turned his head and smiled bitterly at Flandy: "Sir, don't be joking, I really don't sell it." ”

"Isn't 10,000 gold coins enough......?

Flandie didn't care about the gold coins, he really wanted to know how the old man managed to make such a sweet water with such a pure taste.

"Sir!" Before Flandy could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him.

"Even if you really give me 10,000 gold coins, I don't dare to ask for it, I'm afraid that with your gold coins, I won't survive tonight!"

"Why, I haven't paid attention to such a small amount of gold coins. ”

"You didn't take it to heart, but someone did. People die for money, don't you think?"

"Uh...... Quite right. Flandi was stunned, he had forgotten this, it seemed that this old man had seen well.

"Sir, if you really want to know, give me ten gold coins. The old man finally relented. He had already seen that Frandi was bound to win, and he could not resist it, so he simply promised to tell him to eliminate the disaster.

If 10,000 gold coins are calculated according to purchasing power, it properly exceeds 100 million RMB in the previous life, such a large amount of money The old man does not want it, but wants 10 gold coins that are almost equivalent to 100,000 RMB, and Flandi can't help but admire this old man.

"Ten gold coins are not enough to make people take risks, and it can be regarded as a good price, it seems that the old man has a good deal. Fu Xindi said secretly in his heart.

"Okay, then ten gold coins, I'll give it to you now, and I can tell me. Frandy counted ten gold coins and handed them over.

The old man took the gold coin with peace of mind, and said to Flandy: "Sir, you have to wait a while, if you want to know how to get sweet water, you have to go to my house, and when these gentlemen finish drinking, I will take you there." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait. Flandy sat down on the stool again.

The passers-by who drank the sweet water had already seen that Flandy was not an ordinary person, and when they heard the old man say this, they hurriedly drank the sweet water in a few sips, paid the money, and left in a hurry.

As soon as the people were gone, the old man cleaned up the shop, put the two jars with sweet water on a wheelbarrow, and said to Flandy: "Sir, come with me, my house is a little far away, and it will take a long time." ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Flandy followed the old man and walked towards the gate of the city.

The old man's home was not in the city of the imperial capital, and after the two of them went out of the city gate, they walked for a long time before they arrived at a small village.

This small village has few doors, and behind it is a hill with many trees, but it is surrounded by a low wall.

Walking to the door of a large house, the old man stopped the wheelbarrow and said, "Sir, this is my home." Then he knocked the door.

Although this house is large, it is a bit dilapidated, similar to the people next to it, and it is not very conspicuous.

After a long time, I heard a man's voice shouting, "Who?"

"I, you Abba!" replied the old man angrily.

The door was opened, and a middle-aged man looked out, saw the old man pushing the wheelbarrow back, and asked strangely, "Abba, why did you come back so early today?

"Let me in first, let's go in!"

"Oh. The middle-aged man saw Flandy and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's none of your business!" the old man scolded.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to say anything, and helped the old man push the wheelbarrow.

Feeling that there was still a lot of sweet water in the two jars, the middle-aged man muttered in a low voice: "Why did you come back today without selling out, don't you know if the family is short of money?"

The old man pretended not to hear it when he heard it, turned to Flandy and said, "Sir, please come in, the sweet water is made at home, you can understand it at a glance." ”

Flandi didn't care, and strode directly into the courtyard.

The yard was large, quite far from the house, and there were a lot of dark purple "sticks", all of which were still stained with mud from the roots underneath, apparently not long after they had been pulled out of the ground.

Two women, an old man and a young woman, were handling the "sticks", which they first washed clean with water, and then chopped them into small pieces with a firewood knife.

There was also a large stone mortar next to it, and a small hole had been dug under the stone mortar, and there was a lot of the same sweet water that Brandy had just drunk, but even more cloudy "sweet water" was flowing out.

"Look, sir, this is how sweet water is made. ”

The old man led Frandy generously and looked at every process.

"Well, I see, what is this?" said Flandy, pointing to the purple stick.

"This is a sweet stick, my grandfather doesn't know where to find it, and the sweet water is born from it. ”

"Sweet rod?" Flandy took a sweet rod and cut a piece about half a meter long on the knot head with a wood knife, and then skillfully tore off the thick skin on the outside with his teeth, and chewed the pale yellow meat inside.

"Sir, you can't swallow these scum!"

"I know. ”

Frandy chewed greedily, how many years had he not tasted it?

"You know? You've eaten somewhere else?"

"Well, I ate it a long time ago. ”

"No, this kind of sweet rod is not only available in my family, but I have never seen anyone else!"

Flandi didn't speak, but continued to chew on the sweet rod.

When both cheeks were a little sore, Flandy stopped and said, "Old man, get me some seeds, I'll take them." ”

"Oh, yes, but these sweet stalks have no seeds, just cut some twigs from them and stick them in the ground. ”

"Okay, then give me some twigs!"

"Then come with me, these sweet sticks are planted on the hill in the backyard. ”

"Good. ”

Flandy didn't say much, but the middle-aged man on the side didn't do it.

"Abba, how can you ......?"

"Stay there, it's none of your business!" the old man scolded his son again.

It seems that the old man is still very dignified in front of his son, but the middle-aged man didn't dare to say more, and watched Frandi follow the old man and walk to the backyard.

The hill seen from the entrance of the village is the backyard of the old man's house, which is surrounded by low walls, and trees are planted outside to block the view of outsiders, but inside is a large sweet pole forest.

Looking at this large forest of sweet rods, Flandy sighed softly.

The old man chopped down a few twigs with a wood knife, and Brandy told him to stop.

"Old man, that's enough. ”

"That's all you want?"

"Hmm. ”
