070. Taste tea and negotiate and participate in the grand event
"Speaking of which, there are indeed a lot of things!" Lin Yi said with emotion.
"I'm anxious for you, but you look like you've just woken up from a dream..."Feng Li was a little puzzled, and said again: "... You should build a big mansion, raise a bunch of subordinates to help you work, and continue to develop this land, this is called enterprising......"
"If I want to build a house, but I don't have a way, I have to ask Brother Feng for guidance..."
"Since you have made this decision, of course I am duty-bound, and I happen to know a few groups of builders who can help you find them at any time. Originally, this year, I was going to buy ten acres of land to build a house, but I bought five horse-drawn carriages to run to the county seat, and I changed my original mind. I didn't buy land in the township, and I was going to buy a piece of land in the county, of course, the price of land in the county is much more expensive than in the township, and I still need to consider..."
"Brother Feng wants to be based in the county and better develop the market......"
"I do have such an idea, the market in the county no longer has to worry, I want to gain a foothold in the county, I also want to buy some carriages to expand the team, and then go south to run the state city..."
"Go south to Wenzhou City..."Lin Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Feng Li to have such courage.
"Yes, but my bold idea, whether it can be realized depends on you, if you are still just a person, guarding the existing melon land, fruit trees, and not continue to develop, I don't need to run Wenzhou City..."Feng Li said unequivocally and frankly.
"Huh...... That's right..."Lin Yi said with a dry laugh.
"I have no faith in selling goods from other places, but I have faith in what you produce in this place. After all, Feng Li has been selling melons and fruits from here for four years, this is an insight drawn from practice, and his heartfelt words are very straightforward and very sincere, "Judging from the current situation, only in summer and autumn, my five carriages can all come in handy, so I also want to build you, in addition to planting more fruit trees, you can plant a large number of tea trees and camellia trees, and I believe that in the near future, it will definitely produce good tea leaves and good tea oils with unique flavors..."
"Oh..."When Lin Yi heard the mention of tea, he thought of the two of them in this storage, and then remembered that he was going to wash the gourd, and he forgot to leave, and talked too much, so it was better to simply say, "... Brother Feng, let's go to the pergola, sit down and drink tea, and have a good discussion......"
"It's okay!" Feng Li nodded and readily agreed.
The two quickly came to the pergola to sit down, Lin Yi picked up the teapot casually, and felt that the tea was still hot, obviously his wife had boiled the water not long ago, so he poured two bowls directly in two white porcelain bowls.
"Please—"
"The color is clear and yellow, what kind of tea is this?" Feng Li couldn't help asking, took a sip of it, and his face was full of doubts, "A faint fragrance..."
"Hehe, the wild chrysanthemums picked by Uchiko and Xiao'er, when they are dried, they are said to be tea..."Lin Yi said with a smile, and then said: "... But when you drink it, it has a different flavor......"
"It turned out to be wild chrysanthemums, it does have a unique flavor, I didn't expect wild chrysanthemums to be able to make tea..."Feng Li admired, and couldn't help but feel surprised. The trend of drinking tea, although it has risen in the Great Chu Dynasty, but flower tea has not yet appeared, no wonder Feng Li was shocked and felt novel.
"Brother Feng actually agrees with this tea, haha......"
"Such a good tea, it's really unexpected, it's the chrysanthemums all over the mountains every autumn, I may stop and miss it again..."
"Qiu Ju has a good color, and she is dewed and beautiful. Forget this worry, far away from my world. Although he is alone, the cup is full of pots. The day into the flock, the birds tend to the forest. Xiao Ao Dongxuan, talk about recovering this life. Lin Yi rarely had a state of mind, chanted a poem to meet the occasion, and sighed: "Thinking about Mr. Wuliu back then, symmetrical chrysanthemum is a soft spot!"
"The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses. Ask you, how can you be? Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. The mountain weather is good, and the birds are returning. There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to distinguish it. Feng Li immediately made a song and said with a smile: "Tao Yuan Ming picks chrysanthemums under the east fence, but he only knows the joy of drinking, but does not know the fun of tasting tea, and there is inevitably a lot less Yaxing..."
"Drinking, poems, chrysanthemums, and enjoying alone, no wonder, no wonder ......"
"Master Meng has a saying: 'It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all.' "The four gentlemen of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, you are only two here, and the two Meilan that are still missing can be replanted on the ......"...,
"To get, to get, but the seed is rare..."
"I'll find it for you, hehe......"
"The tea tree, the camellia tree..."
"I'll find it for you too, just tea seeds?" Feng Li said and asked again.
"It should be possible, but I'm afraid... The survival rate is difficult to guarantee..."Lin Yi has a lot of experience in planting trees so far.
"Then it's not a big problem, if the survival rate is insufficient, you can replant some more then..." If possible, it is best to hire a few tea farmers for you in the future, I am afraid that the tea making process is not so simple, and you must always have an expert to do it......"
"Hmm. Lin Yi nodded and agreed.
"These things have to be done step by step, and the top priority is still your house, which must be built first. Feng Li pulled the topic back and added: "Otherwise, you can only hire people in Daiyan, you can start working for a short time, but I am afraid you can't do technical work." ”
"How much silver taels does it cost to build a mansion?" Lin Yi immediately asked.
"You have land, which is a seven-deep mansion, and three hundred taels of silver are enough. Feng Li replied very arrogantly.
"It doesn't take that big, how much does it take to enter the depths?" Lin Yiwan smiled and asked again.
"If it's three deep, one hundred and fifty taels is enough, if it's five deep, it won't take two hundred and thirty taels, of course, if you want to build it exquisitely, the cost will definitely be a little bigger. ”
"Let's go three deep!" Lin Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop and decided to come down. I am not surprised by the price of the house, I have been coming to Dai Yan for almost six years, and I spent a hundred taels of silver to buy that simple house at first, of course, I already know that it is very wrong. Although a hundred taels of silver can only buy a thatched house in the capital, when you come to the countryside, the market is very different, but you have never left the capital before......
Now that it's all gone, take a step back and think about it: If the 100 taels of silver had not been spent on buying a house, it would have been inevitable that it would not have been stolen by the thief back then, and I am afraid that there would not even be a place to live......
Lose in hake, but gain in herring. After several ups and downs, I finally saw the rainbow, God has eyes!
"I'll do my best to help you contact the builders..."Feng Li laughed, but didn't say anything.
"There's no hurry. Lin Yi smiled, and then said: "Brother Feng, I heard you mention it a few days ago, and the road to the county seat from here is not easy to walk..."
"It's mainly a horse-drawn carriage, and the twenty miles away from here feels farther than forty miles, and it takes more than an hour to get to the official road, and then it's faster to go south......"
"That is the case, I want to take out eight hundred taels of silver to repair this road first..."
"Oh?!" Feng Li was surprised, he didn't expect Lin Yi to be so proud, and immediately echoed: "Brother Lin has such a broad mind, I also want to accompany him, and I am willing to take out two hundred taels of silver and make up one thousand taels to participate in the grand event!"
"Okay, then we'll join the grand event..."Lin Yi happily responded.
"That's it, build a big road and go out......"
"Build a major road to connect to the official road ......"
"A word is a certainty..."Feng Li stretched out his palm.
"It's hard to chase a horse!" Lin Yi immediately stretched out his palm and struck with it.
The two have been friends for four years, and they have always had a good temper, but they have never talked so freely as they do now, and they really even smell like each other. Today's Lin Yi, although he does not have thousands of family wealth, he still has thousands of dollars, and if the wealth continues to roll in like this, it is only a matter of time before the family assets reach tens of thousands. Feng Li took a boat, and came all the way from a difficult time, and the friendship was naturally extraordinary, and it has reached a higher level, which can be called irreversible.
Lin Yi was born in the family of the eunuch, but he suffered from a change in his family, and after the death of his parents, he has always regarded the examination as the only way to make a living, but a person's fate is really uncertain.
Lin Yi now, although it is rare to pick up books, is deeply influenced by Confucianism in his bones, "Zuo Chuan" has a saying: "There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech." Although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal. That is, the so-called three virtues of Confucianism: virtue, meritorious service, and speech. Among the three stands, the first thing is morality, which refers to being a man, and then it is meritorious service, speech, and doing things and learning. Sanli specifically refers to: "Virtue means to create the law and help the people; meritorious service means to save misfortune and eliminate difficulties, and merit is to help the time; and to establish words, it means that words are important and reasonable." ”
The most basic embodiment of virtue is to do good deeds and make good connections. Meng Fuzi said: "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world." Lin Yi was stuck here, first he felt at a loss, and then he was resolute when he went to the poor place of water, and he was relieved when he sat and watched the clouds rise, and his longing career was also cut off.
Born in a peasant family, he studied hard for ten years, and in the township examination he took in the same year as Lin Yi, he was named Sun Shan, and at this time, his father died of illness and his mother was dying.
Feng Li faced the cloudy future, looking at his mother who was gradually aging, the biggest sorrow of the shape is that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the biggest regret in life is that the son wants to raise but does not wait. Feng Li resolutely shouldered this responsibility, a son's responsibility to his mother, six years of hard work, and finally transformed into a real man.
With his head in the sky and his feet on the ground, he walked out of an extraordinary road, showing his true colors as a man.
Standing up to the sky, it is the heroism, spirit, and blood of a man.
