Chapter 10: You're Not a Gentleman!
Without further ado.
Lu Mengkun is very resolute in his work.
Of course, the key reason lies in the deterrence brought by the Jin soldiers stationed in Liuhe County across the river.
Although there are rumors that peace is being negotiated now, as a Jiangyin person who is directly threatened, how dare he act as if nothing has happened.
Even if everyone has the heart to talk about peace, but it is not good to say that in order to increase the bargaining chips, Jin Guo suddenly sent a team of soldiers and horses to cross the river and occupy Jiangyin?
It's okay to occupy it, but it's not good to say that in order to shock the imperial court, people suddenly came to a massacre?
The massacre is probably not a big deal, but maybe people are going to take the big family to the knife?
The Lu family is the official family of Jiangyin, and it is also the largest family on the surface, Jin Bing wants to take the big family, who else can be more suitable than the Lu family?
As the head of the Lu family, he must be fully prepared for the Lu family, he must be ready to run away to Lin'an at any time, and of course he must be prepared to rise again in Lin'an, so a secret recipe that can allow the Lu family to have a life in Lin'an is very precious.
Therefore, even though it seemed urgent, Lu Mengkun still took Lu Mengsun to the door the next day.
Xin Zhi looked at this rather majestic old man, smiled in his heart, and when he showed it outside, it naturally turned into enthusiasm.
"Come, two gentlemen, please sit down, and wait for the boy to pour water for the two of you......"
"The boy's family is poor, although there is no tea, but the water is boiling, you two can drink it with confidence......"
"This is the wild plum picked by the kid in the wild, the well water has been chilled, it tastes crispy, although it is a little bitter, but it has a different flavor, the two gentlemen can give it a try......"
Seeing Xin Zhi busy before and after, Lu Mengkun and Lu Mengsun looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, okay, Xin Zhen, sit down, the old man has something to talk to you about."
Lu Mengkun said.
Xin Zhi nodded and sat still, looking at Lu Mengkun with his head half-tilted.
Lu Mengkun pondered for a moment and said: "Yesterday, Meng Sun showed me the recipe, let the cook at home make it, try it, and it is not bad, although it is not qualified to open a restaurant, but it is not bad as a home-cooked food at home."
So, the old man came over today and wanted to ask you for a recipe, of course, this is not free, after all, this is also your thing, the old man decided to spend a huge amount of money to buy the recipe in your hand, what do you think? ”
As he spoke, Lu Mengkun took out two silver ingots of ten taels from his arms and put them on the table, and pushed them in the direction of Xin Zhen.
Xin Zhen's gaze swept over the silver ingot, and he sneered in his heart, but his face did not show it, but said with a smile: "I'm sorry for the two, you're late, the recipe already has the master." ”
Lu Mengkun Huo Ran stood up, his expression was a little angry, and then he suppressed his anger and sat down slowly, but there was coldness in his voice: "Oh, how do you say it? ”
Xin Zhi smiled and said: "I thought about it last night, now that the soldiers are in danger, Jiangyin is indeed not suitable for living, my father should also be transferred to other places this time, and it is possible that the next stop will be Lin'an City."
Our father and son have no foundation in Jiangnan, and there is no income, so they are so poor, Lin'an is a good place, there are many people and money, but opening a restaurant there is a good way out.
So, I plan to keep it for my future aunt, who is the daughter of the Fan family, and she will definitely bring a lot of dowry and family with her when she marries my father.
Although my Xin family is poor, it is not good to treat her badly, but I have no long things, only one recipe is worth some money.
Moreover, this recipe is a way to make money, and when the time comes, my aunt will bring someone to me, and I will give them the recipe, and they will naturally have the ability to open the restaurant.
My recipe is very rare, and it will definitely be able to shine in Lin'an, and when the time comes, the Xin family will be able to rise because of it.
So, all things considered, I don't plan to sell this recipe, and now I've sold this family foundation for a few taels of silver, and my father knows about it, so it's time to scold me for being a loser. ”
Lu Mengkun's pupils constricted, on the one hand, he was surprised by Xin Zhen's sophisticated thoughts, but more nervously.
He learned from Lu Mengsun that Xin Zhi was actually only seven years old, but he was very mature in his words and deeds, and he was really a young and old character, but there was nothing surprising about this, some people were born calm and sophisticated, and there was nothing to say.
But this recipe is bound for him.
This Xin Zhi is right for Lu Mengsun's analysis, although the Lu family is in the officialdom, although there are a lot of inputs, but the Lu family also has a lot, want to maintain such a large family, copper money flows out like flowing water every day, as the head of the family, he is also tired of coping every day, every time at the end of the month, he always has to worry about how to feed this big family.
But this opening a restaurant can be regarded as a big deal, the daily capital flow is cash, and the profit is also high, if you can open a few big restaurants in Lin'an, even if there is no other livelihood, the Lu family will not be defeated.
Therefore, he is very concerned about this recipe, and now Xin Zhi tells him that this recipe is not for sale, how can this be done!
Lu Mengkun's heart turned rapidly, but Lu Mengsun was anxious first: "Eh! Xinzhen, how can you do this! Let's clearly say okay, say that we will talk about it today, why has it only been a night, why have you changed your hexagram, the so-called people do not stand without faith, you are a rebel, in fact, a gentleman did it! ”
Lu Mengkun did not organize his clan brothers, but waited and watched the changes, watched how Xin Zhi responded, and also left himself time to think.
But seeing that Xin Zhen's face was a little ashamed, he half-bowed his head and said, "Master's criticism is right......"
Lu Mengsun had a smile on his face.
“…… Alas, this matter is indeed the boy Meng Lang, but it is about the future of the family, and it is also about the avenue of filial piety, although the aunt has not yet entered the door, but as a child, filial piety should also be the first, such an important thing, you still have to wait for the aunt to enter the door before making a decision.
Otherwise, two gentlemen, when my aunt enters the door, the boy will give the recipe to my aunt, and then you two will find my aunt, if my aunt is willing to give it to you, I will raise my hands in favor, what do you two think? ”
Of course it's not that good!
Let's not talk about whether Fan Caiping is willing to give it at that time, just say that she is willing to give, the woman who came out of the big family, especially the one that you kid can compare, a recipe that can support several big restaurants, what is the specific value, can she still not know, when the time comes, the recipe is estimated to be sky-high to be able to get it, then it will be a big loss!
Besides, now the soldiers are in danger, staying in Jiangyin for one more day will add a lot of dangers, the Jin soldiers can go south at any time, and when the Jin soldiers cross the river, whether they can run away or not is another matter, who has time to wait until then?
Lu Mengsun was angry and anxious, and was about to scold, but Lu Mengkun stopped him.
Lu Mengkun smiled and said: "I heard that Brother Xin Zhi is also a big family in the north, it is true, at a young age, he is so sophisticated, this skill of raising the price, even if he is used to doing business, he may not be able to compare, it is amazing!" ”
Xin Zhen's face was dazed, as if he couldn't understand Lu Mengkun's words.
Lu Mengkun shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to be like this, since the old man is here today, he is also ready to be stabbed, but I didn't expect you to be so good as Brother Shi, it's really terrifying."
However, let's not play dumb riddles, Brother Shi, your ability has been seen by the old man, and he also admits that you have this qualification, next, Brother Shi will make a price, and there is no need to say anything else. ”
Xin Zhen's face was a little shy: "Sir, you have a good reputation......"
Lu Mengkun: "......"
Am I complimenting you by this?
Can't you tell I'm calling you treacherous?
“…… My father has been teaching that people do not stand without faith, and naturally they must take filial piety first, when they are in a dilemma of faith and filial piety, they still have to take the world first, after all, filial piety is only a small family, but Xinyi is for everyone.
Therefore, even if you want to be sorry for your future aunt, this recipe will be sold to the Lu family today, but filial piety is about the country after all, this recipe can't be left to your aunt, but you have to give your aunt more money, so that your aunt can understand and forgive the kid, you say, right? ”
Lu Mengsun looked at Xin Zhi with contempt.
Good guys, there are all kinds of arguments if you want to sell at a high price.
It's really cunning.
Lu Mengkun laughed.
Seriously, it's the first time he's seen such an interesting child, this is a set of words, even if it's hoarding Juqi to raise the price, but this rhetoric is really not so annoying, if they come, this Xin Zhen will sit on the ground and raise the price, then the face will be ugly.
The Lu family is a big family, and they have always paid attention to food, even if they exploit the people, they have to put on a good-looking coat, this Xin Zhen already has some such taste, but it makes him feel that he is the same kind of person.
"Good! Brother Xin Zhi is really an interesting person, I think Ling Zun is even more of an interesting person, no wonder he can be favored by His Majesty, interesting, okay, then Brother Xin Zhi, please bid. ”
Being praised like this, Xin Zhen's cheeks turned a little red, and he stretched out a finger tremblingly.
Lu Mengsun was suddenly angry: "What, you actually want a hundred times!" ”
Xin Zhi said shyly and in a low voice: "The master is wrong, this is a thousand guan." ”
The two Lu Mengkun brothers were dumbfounded.
