Chapter 40: My brother is stupid
After the greetings, Lu Tianyang watched Xihan and Shopkeeper Xiao discussing medical things while packing up the car, and said that "the evil cold enters the body, and it needs to be removed with warm fire", "the head is strong and cold, and he needs ginger seven coins to make soup, supplemented by atractylodes, Qianghuo, and rehmannia ......" and other things he seems to understand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Shopkeeper Xiao listened attentively, his expression was extremely focused, and he was not ashamed to ask a little girl for advice, and Xihan said and spoke, and the look on his face became cheerful.
Lu Tianyang looked at her shining eyes, and couldn't help but move in his heart: "This little girl, I thought she went to study medicine because Old Man Lu refused to teach her martial arts, and she had no choice, but now it seems that she really likes to study medicine." By the way, she has always wanted to practice martial arts, should I accept her as a disciple? But according to this little girl's strong and stubborn temper, even if I pass on her martial arts, she will not call me 'Master' even if I pass on her martial arts. ā
The shopkeeper Xiao over there had finished asking the question, and he looked at Xihan deeply and convincingly: "Thank you Miss Lu for answering the old man's doubt, the old man can finally sleep well tonight." ā
Xihan hurriedly returned the salute, and Lu Tianyang deliberately quipped: "Shopkeeper Xiao, I don't think you are doing business, but like a doctor who forgets to sleep and eat in order to study medical skills." ā
"I'm ashamed, the old man's qualifications are stupid, and his achievements in both business and medicine are limited, which makes Lu Gongzi smile. ā
Lu Tianyang smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper Xiao's medical skills are already quite good, as for the business, it just lacks opportunities." In this way, Shopkeeper Xiao, I happen to have a business here, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Business?" shopkeeper Xiao was suddenly shocked, he had heard a lot of rumors about Lu Tianyang's introduction of the "herbal tea" business in the past few days, and today he saw the creativity of the herbal tea cart and tasted the herbal tea, and his heart was even more respectful and convinced. Such a master wanted to discuss business with him, and Shopkeeper Xiao was simply flattered, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what Mr. Lu has to teach?"
Lu Tianyang glanced at Xihan and said with a smile: "I want to talk about the 'herbal tea' business." ā
......
On the way back, there was no one else on the road, Xihan's little girl couldn't help it anymore, she stopped, puffed out her little face, and asked Lu Tianyang, who was pulling the car in front: "Hey, our 'herbal tea' business really has to be handed over to someone else to take care of?"
According to the popularity of this herbal tea business, not only does he not have to worry about life, but he can even have no worries about food and clothing, Xihan can't understand why when the herbal tea business is just starting and the future is bright, his brother wants to entrust it to Shopkeeper Xiao to take care of.
Lu Tianyang put down the herbal tea cart, looked back and saw the little girl with a sad face, knowing that she had deep feelings for the "herbal tea business" that she had worked so hard to create, so he patiently explained: "Sister, do you know that when a new business becomes popular, it will face four types of trouble?"
Xihan didn't know anything about business, tilted her little head and thought for a while before replying, "Is it 'in short supply'?"
Seeing her simple and cute appearance, Lu Tianyang couldn't help laughing: "'Supply exceeds demand' is just a problem caused by our own lack of manpower, not a trouble." ā
He paused, smiled, and continued, "The trouble is brought by the outside world. If we continue to manage this business, we will face four types of troubles: first, imitators, who do not do as well as us, but will attract customers at low prices; second, big businessmen, who will intervene with legitimate reasons and abundant funds, or through the forces of collusion with the government; third, hooligans and ruffians or powerful forces who are looking for trouble, and fourth, people in the government, who will come to demand benefits. Yesterday's Chen Meng was the third category, and today's official mission came to make trouble, which is the second type of situation and the fourth type of situation. ā
Xi Han bit his thin lip and said unwillingly: "Your martial arts are so powerful, how dare Chen Meng and his ilk come to pick quarrels and provoke trouble again? ā
Lu Tianyang laughed in his heart, he was not even in the early stage of the martial arts level now, he relied on abduction and deception, and he would definitely suffer a big loss when he met a real master.
"I have a lot of ways to deal with these four types of troubles, but we are a sect of rivers and lakes, not specialized in business, and we shouldn't spend too much time and energy on these things. Lu Tianyang couldn't tell her that he had to hurry up and develop the Xia Ke Valley into a famous and decent family within a year, so he could only explain it tactfully. In fact, his words are also reasonable, if the herbal tea business is handed over, he only needs to come up with ideas in the future, and he can plan one or two to ensure the economic resources of the Xia Ke Valley, and his mind can be put on practicing martial arts, recruiting disciples, and teaching disciples, after all, this is the right thing for the development of a sect.
Lu Tianyang paused, and continued: "Shopkeeper Xiao is a sincere person, the conditions currently negotiated are quite favorable to us, we provide prescriptions, profits can be divided into fifty-fifty, and Shopkeeper Xiao must make and sell herbal tea and fruit tea according to our principles and strategies, and I will also teach him how to deal with these four types of troubles." Of course, there is another point, only through Shopkeeper Xiao can he complete the four-star task of building cash flow, which also cannot be told to Xihan.
Lu Tianyang saw that the little girl was still a little relieved, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately made up for the last blow. He slowed his voice as much as he could, and said in the gentlest voice, "Moreover, only by entrusting this business to others will we be able to free up time to do what we want." Sister, you once said that you want to practice martial arts well, right?"
"I ......" Xihan's whole body was shocked, and the angry words he had said when he quarreled with his brother a few days ago flashed in his mind.
Originally...... He always remembered what I had said.
Lu Tianyang stretched out his hand and stroked the little girl's hair, and said softly: "I know, you have been busy with the herbal tea business during this time, and you basically have no time to practice martial arts, right?"
The afternoon sun sprinkled softly, and the warm breeze brought Lu Tianyang's gentle voice into Xi Han's ears, Xi Han felt the warmth and care of that big hand, only to feel a warm current from the bottom of her heart, her eyes were instantly hot, she quickly lowered her head, and did not avoid his hand as in the past.
"It's been a hard time for you in the past two years. Now that I'm back, the matter of supporting my family should naturally be thought by me, who is an elder brother, you should have your own time, if you want to practice martial arts, you should concentrate on martial arts, and if you want to continue to study medicine, you will concentrate on studying medicine. ā
Xihan looked down at the tip of his shoe, his little hand clutched his dress tightly, letting his brother stroke his hair, his thin red lips moved, and finally he just said "um", but his eyes were moist.
In the past two years, the stubbornness and grievances that have supported the whole family alone have all been replaced by an inexplicable heat flow, and even the troubles that have been haunting my heart because I have been caring about the mysterious girl have disappeared without a trace.
Hearing Lu Tianyang say softly again: "In the future, you just need to do what you want to do, and I will take care of the rest." I want my sister to have a good and happy life. ā
"Stupid...... "......I don't know if it's sunburned by the afternoon sun, the little girl's face seems to be a little red."
She bit her red lip, suddenly raised her head, stared at her brother's thin but tall figure, and said softly, "But, thank you for caring about me so much, stupid...... Brother. ā
This is the first time she has called Lu Tianyang "brother" in person, and there is even a hint of dependence and coquettishness in her gentle tone.
Lu Tianyang's heart was suddenly touched by something, he rubbed his nose and said, "The 'stupid' in front is superfluous, right?"
"Because my brother is stupid. The little girl smiled, two shallow dimples appeared on her face, and her innocent and lovely smile bloomed like jasmine, which was delicate and incomprehensible.
Although Lu Tianyang said that he was not interested in such a little girl who had not grown up, he was also in a trance, and secretly praised: "This girl looks really good, I really don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future." While thinking about it, he unconsciously patted the little girl's head lightly.
"Also, stupid brother, don't pat me on the head again in the future, if I don't grow tall, I will rely on you. Xi Han glanced at his brother angrily, gently slapped his hand away, and then quickly ran back to the back of the cart and helped him push the cart behind.
Lu Tianyang smiled slightly, and his steps couldn't help but become brisk.
After helping Xihan send the herbal tea cart back to the Valley of Heroes, after Lu Tianyang instructed her and Uncle Ling not to disturb him, he hurried back to the room, drank a few bowls of wine to quench his cravings, and immediately began to practice the internal skills of "Holding Yuan and Returning to One".
