Chapter 18: Big Things and Little Things
Liu Fan doesn't care about the big things in the court, anyway, it's just those things that he does, and he is not qualified to care if he wants to.
The village transplanted a lot of peach trees, there are more peach trees on the road, in the future here will be ten miles of peach forest, with the peach trees planted, the villagers' houses also began to loom, but this does not affect the beauty, but the layout is extremely reasonable, with the extension of the road, can ensure that every family can reach.
"The pockets are empty!" Liu Fan sighed.
Although this time is enough to save, the money that should be spent is still spent every day, and sometimes even arrears, so I have to start making IOUs.
"It's too slow to get money!" Liu Fan touched the peach tree that had just been planted and muttered.
Lin Hao walked over briskly from a distance, pulled Liu Fan and whispered, "Brother, don't you do a business that makes a fortune!" ”
Liu Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Selling salt?" ”
Lin Hao was surprised: "How do you know! ”
"When everybody knows to make money selling salt, can't you be very strange?"
"What's so strange about this?" Lin Hao said puzzled.
"It's been a week since this salt thing, right, look at Chang'an City, forget it, do you see that Wannian County has been short of salt?" Liu Fan said as he walked.
"It seems that there is really no shortage!" Lin Hao thought about it seriously and said.
"Well, so the lack of salt is probably a fake news, and the person who sold you salt probably doesn't have any good intentions, my suggestion is that you don't get involved, after all, selling illicit salt itself is illegal, and we won't do illegal things!" Liu Fan said.
Although Lin Hao was a little unwilling, he still nodded.
Liu Fan smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can try!" ”
Lin Hao waved his hand again and again and said: "Forget it, forget it, the ghost gate has just passed, don't try again!" Oh yes, I heard that you're more difficult now, how much is the difference, I still have a lot of them, or I'll give you an emergency first! ”
Liu Fan smiled: "No, the money, it's here when you need it, but now you just don't want to use it!" ”
Lin Hao knew that Liu Fan was joking, so he smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, you are short of money and tell me, although you don't have much money, but if you want it, I will give it all to you!" ”
Liu Fan patted him on the shoulder and strode away.
In fact, I don't know when it started, Liu Fan really regarded Lin Hao as a big brother, but gradually found that Lin Hao regarded himself as a big brother, and his attitude became more and more respectful. ”
Having said that, but I still respect Lin Hao in my heart, after all, I brought myself back from the battlefield, and I took care of him a lot along the way, so there is no need to be high in my heart because of this or that thing.
Liu Fan lives transparently, a person who has died once, there is nothing that cannot be seen, and now he only pursues peace of mind, and a little wealth is peace.
Since the money is slow, then you have to think of a way to make money, and then it is unrealistic to cooperate with the village, now Liu Fan needs to make friends with some real magnates, with them as backers, although his income is much less, but it is undoubtedly not an opportunity to accumulate wealth quickly.
And among the people I know, the most powerful is the eldest grandson Wuji.
This guy Liu Fan doesn't particularly want to deal with him, this kind of person can't make friends, and more importantly, he doesn't know that he will become his pawn one day.
"Alas, I'm irritable, if only I could know the emperor, do business directly with the emperor, it's safe and secure!" Liu Fan sighed and said.
"You want to do business with the Emperor?" A voice sounded, and Liu Fan shuddered, these people always like to be elusive, and there is no sound when they walk, no wonder so many people like to be rangers.
"Grass! Scare Lao Tzu! Liu Fan turned around and saw someone he didn't know, and immediately scolded.
The man's face darkened, and he pointed at Liu Fan in disbelief and said, "You dare to scold me!" ”
Liu Fan rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with scolding you, don't you know that talking behind your back can scare people to death?" ”
The man said angrily: "Xiao Langjun, do you know that trouble comes from your mouth!" ”
Liu Fan looked at it, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and then smiled: "Oh, it's you, we have a relationship, didn't you fish by the river before?" Why did you sneak here again, I can tell you, we don't have any fish here, you came here for nothing! ”
The man was surprised by the speed at which Liu Fan changed his face.
Liu Fan didn't give him a chance to react, seeing what he was wearing, it should be possible that he was really a nobleman, but he didn't know what level this noble person was, and if he could not offend, he would not be offended, so he pulled him away, "Go, go to my house to drink tea, I tell you, I can't drink this tea anywhere else!" ”
The man also calmed down and followed Liu Fan forward.
When I came to Liu Fan's residence, I found that the design of this small courtyard was very beautiful, there were several peach trees planted in front of the door, the stone road was connected to the main road, and some small saplings were planted on the side of the road, which was not elegant, and at a glance I knew that the owner of this house was a person who would enjoy it.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw a table with a very special shape, on which I visited a purple sand teapot and some small bowls, but I didn't know what the small cylinder was for, a strange chair was placed next to it, I saw Liu Fan walk over and pour a cup of tea, and then pour it on the table, find charcoal, light it with a fire fold, put it in the small cylinder, and find a small pot to put on it, and soon the water boiled.
"You may be seated!" Liu Fan said with a smile.
The first time the man saw it, he was a little surprised, but he quickly stabilized his expression and sat down in the position indicated by Liu Fan.
I saw Liu Fan waiting for the water to boil unhurriedly, opened an iron bucket, and got tea leaves out of it.
The tea is very special, obviously dried with fire, I saw Liu Fan pour the tea into the teapot, and poured the boiling water into it, and said while pouring: "Look at this tea, is it the same as life, when you are young, you float on it, and when you are middle-aged, you will stand in the cup, and when you are old, you will experience the boiling water, and then you will sink!" ”
Liu Fan poured out the water from the teapot again, then rinsed it with boiling water again, and explained: "Although the tea is fragrant for the first time, it is not good, there is floating dust, it is tacky, and it can only be drunk the second time!" ”
"Please!" Liu Fan pushed the brewed tea in front of the man.
Liu Fan took a sip and said: "You see, the entrance is slightly bitter, but when it reaches the throat, it becomes sweet, and when it reaches the abdomen, a faint fragrance rises, and the lips and teeth are fragrant!" It's life too! Please have a drink of life today, and I hope to forgive you! ”
The man took a sip, and sure enough, as Liu Fan said, he had some mixed feelings for a while, he never felt that tea could be drunk like this, and he had to go through many procedures to drink tea in the past, although the taste was peculiar, but it was very different from the essential taste of this tea now, as if this was the real taste of tea.
"You're good!" The man said slowly, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to see through Liu Fan.
Liu Fan didn't care about him, since he didn't care about it, he had nothing to be afraid of, he fell on the recliner and said slowly: "When you go to the poor place of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise, calm, calm!" ”
The man's eyes flashed, and he only felt that these eight words were extremely profound, although they were simple, but their state of mind was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Good poetry!"
"You're welcome!"
"What are you sleeping?"
"Recliners, do you want to experience it?"
"Good!" Liu Fan got up and motioned for him to lie down.
The man learned Liu Fan's posture just now, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable, sighed with satisfaction and said, "Xiao Langjun, your day is really a fairy day!" ”
"Hehe, I don't have any big ambitions, I'm just used to tinkering with these things, people live for a lifetime, why don't you enjoy being alive, right?"
"......" The man was too lazy to pay attention to him.
