I have been accompanying my grandmother for the past two days, waiting for Secretary Wan's news. In the afternoon, I was reading ancient medical books under the courtyard tree, and my grandmother was calling me: "Pi Yang~~~, your master asked you to go to Wanjia Hotel, saying that there was a guest."

I said yes and walked towards the Wanjia Hotel.

The hostess told me that it was still in the box on the second floor.

I went upstairs and pushed open the box door, and I really didn't expect to see Dr. Tang here again.

I said hello and sat down.

The master asked Dr. Tang, "What kind of wine do you drink?" I'm ready to serve. ”

Dr. Tang smiled: "But so that the host can get drunk, I don't know where this place is?" I think the wine in Peach Blossom Lake is good, and the guests are as good as the host. ”

The master said to me, "You tell the proprietress to serve peach blossom stuffing, and the dishes can also be served."

Dr. Tang hurriedly stopped me: "Don't, don't! Hold your horses~! Slow down the food, before drinking, I want to talk about some serious things, don't drink and talk nonsense, offending Mr. Jin. ”

The master saw that he said solemnly: "Between you and me, a gentleman's friend, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Dr. Tang: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. Jin for making me a lot of money."

As he spoke, he took out a bundle of 10,000 yuan from his bag: "That's how I am, don't forget to dig wells!" You have accepted this 10,000 yuan Mr. Jin, as compensation, or thanks, it is called a gentleman who does not forget his roots. ”

The master hurriedly pressed his hand and pushed the 10,000 yuan back: "Dr. Tang, you are too polite, you don't have to, we have a cloud in the "Green Worm Sutra":

"'The tooth is unknown, and after a long time it is in vain; If you agree on the spot, why bother turning around'.

"What the ancestors said is that when trading, it is necessary to explain the price and commission, if it is vague and unclear, it will inevitably be a dispute when it comes to the account.

"Whether the transaction is allowed or not, it depends on the time, since it has been concluded, turning around and complaining like a ghost, this is not a gentleman's friendship.

"I get what I deserve, no matter how much you gain, once the deal is closed, it has nothing to do with me."

Dr. Tang praised, "Mr. Jin is really a gentleman!"

The master said, "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way."

Dr. Tang thought for a while, and said a little embarrassed: "Mr. Jin, in fact, I came here in a hurry, and I won't hide it from you: I was entrusted by my superiors."

The master asked, "What do you entrust?"

Dr. Tang said, "My lord, my benefactor, wants to see you."

The master said, "Then you have broken the rules!" You also know that the secret door business is not to spread the word to six ears, but the object is only six eyes, I only trade with you, not to meet others. ”

Dr. Tang stared at the master for a long time: "I know this rule, but this person is not an outsider, just like you don't avoid your apprentice, this person is my teacher, and I am also his apprentice."

The master pondered for a while, stroked his beard and said, "Oh! Since he is your teacher and not an outsider, I wonder what he wants to see me? ”

Dr. Tang said, "I want to meet your people, and I want to ask where your treasure came from and who got it."

The master said: "It's okay to see me, the mountains and wilderness are contemptible, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance."

"How did you get these babies? I can tell you about it 1510. ”

Dr. Tang said, "You tell me, I'll tell him again, and if he wants to ask something, I'll have to talk back and forth." How do you understand in person?

"You know, I am a researcher of the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and my teacher is also a master in this area. I don't mean anything else, I just want to know more about the first-hand history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"A man of learning! They all like 'the clothes and belts are gradually widened and they will not regret it, and they will make people haggard for Yi', digging into the bottom of the problem and persevering. ”

The master nodded: "Oh, since you are your teacher, you are naturally also a scholar, and you are also a top expert professor." That would be fine, and I could ask him some questions. ”

Dr. Tang was overjoyed and said, "I knew that Mr. Jin would definitely give this face, and I would have a good drink with you today." Haha, thank you for giving my teacher this face, and I will inform the teacher to come tomorrow. Little brother on the wine! ”

The master asked, "After making you wait for an afternoon, I will go to the mountains to buy wood." Your teacher didn't come along? ”

Dr. Tang said: "He is a native of Hong Kong, and he flew to Jinling yesterday morning and Jiangcheng yesterday afternoon, and stayed at the Tieshan Hotel."

The master said, "Oh! Or is it an international friend, is he here or are we going to Jiangcheng?

"If nothing else, I'm afraid that the hospitality in this poor country is not good, and there is not even a decent hotel here."

Dr. Tang said: "Tomorrow morning they will come here, they will meet here, have a meal, have a casual chat together, and then visit the Peach Blossom Pond, and in the afternoon they will go back and not live here."

The master said, "Then it's up to you."

Dr. Tang said: "I also have a female assistant and driver, who is also my graduate student, in the room, please trouble the little brother to call down, room 306."

I went out to let the proprietress serve food and wine, and then went to room 306 to call people, the female assistant was dressed as a student, small but not plump, like an undeveloped high school student.

The dishes are the best dishes of Wanjia Hotel: iron plate stinky mandarin fish, salted pig's trotter pot, Taiping Lake big fish head pot, braised pangolin pot, as well as four or five side dishes, and a large jar of peach blossom stuff.

I didn't expect Dr. Tang's alcohol consumption to be inferior to that of his master. I used bayberry wine as a companion, and the female graduate student drank tea.

This big wine was drunk until more than nine o'clock, and the master did not go back, and opened a room in the hotel.

The next morning, I went to buy firecrackers and incense sticks, because today the house was going to break ground.

The master also came early in the morning, before seven o'clock, Manager Zhai took a contractor and material clerk, and seven or eight workers arrived one after another.

The master burned incense and prayed, set off firecrackers, burned paper money, and worshiped the Lord of the Land.

The master and I picked up a shovel and dug up three shovels of soil, which can be regarded as breaking ground.

He also told Manager Zhai to build three small houses first and the size and location.

Manager Zhai said that today he would dig the foundation, clean up the vegetable patch, and cut down the miscellaneous trees in the yard.

Tomorrow, a large excavator and two earth-moving trucks will be transferred from the county town, and the basement or fish pond will be dug up in one day.

The excavator is 300 a day, and the earthmoving truck is 100, which is more cost-effective than manual labor.

So fast? With machinery, it's not the same.

The master said to Manager Zhai: "At noon, I will arrange a light meal at Wanjia Hotel, which is considered to be a starting wine." I still have guests to come, so I won't accompany you, let Pi Yang accompany you. ”

Manager Zhai said: "You are busy with you, Xiao Zhang doesn't need to accompany you, just boil the boiling water, and the workers have to drink a lot of water a day."

Under the arrangement of Manager Zhai, the workers cut down trees, cleaned up the vegetable garden, and dug the foundation of the small house, and soon they were busy.

At more than nine o'clock, a crown car with a Jiangcheng license plate came to the door of Wanjia Hotel, and there was a word or logo of Tieshan Hotel on the door, which was the reception car of Tieshan Hotel.

I was preparing fruit and teacups in the box when I heard the horn and walked to the window and saw four people getting out of the car.

The driver opened the rear door first, and an old man with gold-rimmed glasses came down, looking in his sixties, wearing a white top hat and leather shoes.

Next came a modern young woman, dressed in a skirt, cool and with a wide open chest.

When she bent down and got out of the car, I saw it from above.

Although it is late autumn, some small spring has warmed up in the past few days, and the weather is still a little cool.

Suddenly, I saw a person coming down from the co-pilot, and I couldn't help but be surprised: I recognize this person burned to ashes!

He is the Hong Kong guy who met me by chance at the scene of the traffic jam and beat me up in Jiangcheng.

Why did this mourning god come to the door? It's really ghostly, it's not that enemies don't get together, how can you hide?

I suddenly remembered that Sansan had said that he would come around New Year's Day.

But how did he get involved with Dr. Tang's teacher? Could it be that he has a reward for finding out my whereabouts and tracking me here?

The master and Dr. Tang, as well as the female graduate student, had already greeted them and led them upstairs.

I turned into another box and closed the door.

Here, I can't meet that mourning god.
