Chapter 31: The Wicked Guest Comes to the Door
"This is a lotus leaf cup, with this teacup, it is not easy to use the traditional method of boiling tea, otherwise it will lose its taste." Li Anran, who opened the gift box and half-held it in his hand, introduced.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! I just don't know, who owns this treasure? Looking at these four teacups with quite delicate shapes, Wu Chengen, who was squinting and narrowing his eyes again, couldn't help but ask.
"Doctor Sun, you and I met for a fate, and thanks to your blessing, we were able to sell out the barbecue and snow sugar, although it was a gesture, but I am not very grateful."
As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and adversity can see the truth. I want to express my heart with this thing, and I hope that Dr. Sun will not refuse. ”
After Li Anran finished speaking, he personally got up and sent the gift box in his hand to Sun Changgeng, who was sitting on the side and barely spoke.
"Absolutely not, this treasure is too valuable, and it is worthy of it." I didn't expect this tea set to be given to Sun Changgeng for myself, so he quickly stood up and bowed.
Li Anran, who had long expected that the other party would react, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Sun Changgeng up, and then stuffed the gift box in his hand without saying a word. Then Zhengse said: "Doctor Sun, although I am an outsider, I also know that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, you won't let me be that ungrateful, right?" ”
"This ......" In the face of this "aggressive" words, Sun Changgeng, who was afraid of smashing the treasure by mistake, held the gift box in his hand and froze there for a while.
Wu Chengen, who was on the side, although he was very stunned by someone's big stroke, but seeing that the matter had come to this, he hurriedly stood up and played a round game, and said with a smile: "What the real person said is very true, Doctor Sun, you have a relationship with a real person." This thing is accepted, and it is replaced by so-and-so, but it is already disrespectful at this time. ”
"That's reasonable, Doctor Sun, since the real person is interested, why refuse, just accept it." Gu Bangcai, who was on the side, also stroked his beard lightly and persuaded with a smile.
"So, I'm ashamed." Thinking that he had helped more than that, Sun Changgeng had a complicated look in his eyes, bowed his hand and said.
"Good, good! Come, for the fate between the real person and Dr. Sun, drink and win. After glancing enviously at the gift box, Wu Chengen, who finished pouring the wine, raised the wine and smiled.
After another round of drinking, Li Anran, who really wanted to taste what these ancient delicacies tasted like, had to hold another gift box in his hand.
This is a colorful glazed pen holder, and the bamboo painting on the wall of the cylinder means that it is rising. Lord County, I would like to ask for this thing. Li Anran, who took out the pen holder, said.
"Oh? I don't know what a real person wants? At first glance, Gu Bangcai, who liked this pen holder, did not lose his temper because of this, and said with a light smile.
"I went out of the mountain this time, planning to settle in Lantian County. I also got a Zhuangzi in the previous transaction with the shopkeeper Wu, and I would like to settle here, I don't know ......"
Li Anran knows very well that no matter what he plans to do in the future, the first thing to solve is the identity problem, so he naturally will not be stingy with a glass pen holder of less than 500 yuan. As for "bribing" in front of others, it was only after Li Anran found out that the relationship between Gu Bangcai and Wu Chengen was very delicate, and he temporarily decided to test one or two.
Originally, Li Anran felt that he would not make the other party angry even if he did this. As the leader of this county, he will not blatantly accept bribes. But it didn't work out, so I made the request clear on my side. The other party just stroked his beard and groaned slightly, but he agreed very happily.
"It's not difficult, it's a matter of time."
"In this way, there is Lao County." Li Anran, who was stunned in his heart, said quietly on the surface, and got up and sent the gift box to the other party.
Seeing that the most headache problem was successfully solved, even if Li Anran knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed, he was not too surprised. Anyway, judging from the snooping that I have noticed a few times, most of my whereabouts have been targeted by the other party. Settling down in Lantian County is beneficial to the other party.
Not long after Gu Bangcai calmly "took bribes", Li Anran was just about to take out the amber glass teapot at the back of the most lull when he suddenly heard a report from someone outside that the shopkeeper Zheng of Tongfu Ji was here.
"It's broken, the wicked guest has come to the door." Wu Chengen, who was about to see what the next treasure was, suddenly changed his face.
But before he could speak, he saw the door of the private room being pushed open from the outside. Then I saw a young man with a jade tree in the wind and a majestic spirit walking in. If it weren't for the fact that the subordinate of the restaurant had already said that he was the shopkeeper of Tongfu Building, in Li Anran's opinion, this person in front of him should be a talented man with outstanding literature. What made Li Anran speechless even more was that he had only met Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West", before, and this time he simply met Zheng Chenggong, a hero in the late Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that the difference between these two people and the "original" is too big, one has become a round "meat ball", and the other has become a personable young man.
After being surprised how the hero who recovered Taiwan at the end of the Ming Dynasty could run to Datang, looking at the Zheng Chenggong in front of him, Li Anran was even more surprised by the identity of the other party. It is important to know that Lu Dao is not only in the Tang Dynasty, but basically in various dynasties in Chinese history. The status of businessmen is the lowest, otherwise there would be no such hierarchical division as agriculture and industry.
Curiosity is curiosity, Li Anran was not stupid enough to ask this question directly. Instead, he looked at this Zheng Chenggong very calmly, and Wu Chengen, Gu Bangcai, and Sun Changgeng met one by one.
"Presumably, this is the real person of Chunyang, who came rashly and hoped to forgive his sins." Zheng Chenggong said, very decently bowed, which invisibly made people feel like a spring breeze.
Even the crystal glass wine set on the desk where Li Anran was found was only stunned for a moment and returned to normal, and he did not lose his temper because he saw this kind of treasure.
"I heard Zhao Da say that the shopkeeper Zheng is suave and extraordinary, and when I see it today, I know that it is better to be famous than to meet, and the real person is better." Li Anran, who got up and made a Taoist salute, said with a smile.
"The real person praised it, please!" Zheng Chenggong, who was saluting again, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
"The surname is Zheng, why did you find it at this time?" Compared with others, Wu Chengen, who is not angry, has a much more casual attitude.
"Why can't so-and-so come? Hongfu Lou opened the door to do business, but it was not possible to pick customers. In the face of questioning, the personable Zheng Chenggong was not polite when he spoke.
"Humph! It's not for Snow Sugar's recipe, it just so happens that the real person is here, what is there to say. ”
Don't look at the set of crystal glass wine utensils just received, but for the recipe of snow sugar, Wu Chengen didn't think about giving up. After all, there is only one set of wine utensils, although it is a rarity, but it is not as good as a long-term business like snow sugar.
"I'm going to go back and visit Shopkeeper Zheng, since everyone has arrived, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, about the snow candy recipe, I'll make it clear in person."
As early as when Wu Chengen came out of the store to greet him, and then took himself directly to the private room on the second floor, Li Anran had already seen that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to take down the snow candy. didn't expect that he had brought so many "treasures", and he didn't expect that before things began, Gu Bangcai, who was the county honor, and Sun Changgeng came together. finally succeeded in taking down the crystal glass wine set, but before he could continue to read the treasures behind, he was found by Zheng Chenggong, who heard the news.
Fortunately, for Li Anran, it is a good thing that everyone is here. So, after making a statement and confirming that everyone present was okay, he continued:
"With the previous transaction with Shopkeeper Wu, Xuetang's recipe is no longer important to me, as for who to give it to and not to whom, Shopkeeper Wu and Shopkeeper Zheng will discuss it on their own."
"In terms of price, you can buy it out directly for a sum of money, or you can cooperate with me. I will take the prescription as a shareholder, and in the future, the business of Snow Sugar will only need to give me three percent of the profits. ”
In fact, after selling that set of crystal glass wine sets, Li Anran not only has the start-up capital, but also has Zhuangzi and the store, and this snow sugar recipe can not be sold. But at that time, where did he know that he could still wear back to modern time and space, this recipe had already been taken out, and then hidden and tucked, God knew what trouble Lu Dao would cause at that time.
Rather than having a headache in this matter in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to throw the trouble out of the way. It is best to be able to buy out, and although the dividends of three percent of the profits can not be bought out, it is better to be able to flow for a long time.
