Lu Gong joked and joked for a while, but was defeated by the coquettishness of Lu Pheasant and Lu Su.
I painted a portrait for my sister Lu Pheasant, so how could I not also give a portrait to my sister Lu Su?
Another pair of square wooden boards was replaced, and a fine cloth was wiped on it, and the charcoal black in his hand was slightly trimmed. In Lu Gong's curious eyes, a painting technique that he had never seen before appeared.
Lu Pheasant also looked at it curiously.
Simple, concise, fast, yet complex, giving people a very strong sense of hierarchy.
After a while, a lifelike Lu Su appeared on the wooden board.
This painting is three points better than the last one. This time my hands are more familiar.
The well-behaved and gentle Lu Su jumped into the eyes of the three of them.
The three of them tasted it for a while, and then Mr. Lu entered the front hall with Qian Wen and Qian Wen in his arms.
The maid placed a cup filled with light yellow water next to each person and stepped back.
"Hey, what is this? It has a faint sweetness." Lu Gong picked up the cup and discovered another strange thing.
I saw a few tree root-like things placed in the small animal ear bowl. The soup turned light yellow and tasted sweet and special.
"Father, this is licorice, also called sweet root. Qian Lang discovered it from a trader in the market. He said it is a kind of qi-tonifying medicine that can clear away heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough." Lu Pheasant had been waiting for his father to ask.
When I hear a question, I am eager to raise my hand to answer.
"Oh, it's very delicious." Lu Gong tasted it curiously and looked at Qian Wen, "Xian son-in-law, you are really full of surprises here."
As he spoke, he looked at the Taishi chair they were sitting on now. It was made by Qian Wen's drawings and ordered by the craftsmen. It was very strange and comfortable.
Qian Wen took a sip of sweet root water and said, "Actually, I didn't find any tea leaves, otherwise it would be better."
Qian Wen searched for tea in the market, but there was no trace of it. In modern times, he only heard that the Qin Dynasty had a trip to eat tea, but he had been in the Qin Dynasty for more than a year and saw that Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang, and Lu Gong were all drinking tea.
Various medicinal powders or mixtures of seasoned orange peels and other boiled substances have a strange taste, but they can also quench thirst.
The discovery of this licorice that day made him very excited.
Qian Wen has discovered that this Qin Dynasty is very strange and biased towards science.
Lu Gong knew what the tea that Qian Wen was talking about was. Qian Wen explained it to him and asked him to help him find it, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.
Lu Gong drank a few more sips fondly. Qian Wen asked with a smile, "My father-in-law, are you looking for me for something?"
Lu Gong smiled and put down the contents of the cup, "I have listened to my son-in-law's advice these days and have done some market research. Our Zuixian Brewing is doing very well. Peixian County has already spread it and the surrounding areas have become famous.
The caravan of celebrities and squires from Peixian County has also been setting off for some time, and the name of Zuixianjiang must have spread.
The reason I came here this time is to ask my virtuous son-in-law what our next step should be."
The vocabulary of market research was taught to them by Qian Wen. Lu Gong, Lu Pheasant, and Lu Su all learned it quickly. Even the celebrities and squires in Pei County were passing on these modern vocabulary, such as sales, agency, Party A, Party B, etc.
Interest, profit, etc.
"My father-in-law, my son-in-law would like to ask, what will happen if the Lu family develops according to our plan?" Qian Wen asked instead without answering.
Lu Gongyi frowned. He already knew Qian Wen relatively well. Asking this question showed that he had a different opinion. "If we continue to develop according to our plan, the Lu family will be famous in at least several counties. They will be well-known in this county and are the top wealthy businessmen."
Lu Pheasant, Lu Su nodded when he heard this.
As for the advertisements arranged by Qian Lang to be passed down from person to person, and the drunken immortal brewing children's songs that were sung by children in several cities, it would be difficult for the Lu family not to become famous.
"Then how do you keep your father-in-law's wealth?" Qian Wen suddenly asked.
Lu Gong's face turned pale with joy. He thought of something.
Lu Fei frowned, and when he thought about it carefully, there was horror in his eyes.
Only Lu Su, who didn't care about this, still drank his sweet root water with a sweet smile.
"What do you mean by the good son-in-law, the Lu family is in danger?" Lu Gong asked urgently.
He finally saw the prosperity of the Lu family, but he didn't want to become the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror.
In fact, if Mr. Lu thought about it carefully, he could understand the reason. It was just that he was a little distracted by the prosperous business of drunken immortal wine recently when he was busy drinking wine with celebrities and country gentlemen every day.
"That's not as exaggerated as what my father-in-law said, but it's time to stop.
Wealth and silk attract people's hearts. We can profit from celebrities and gentry in Pei County, but what about those outside Pei County?
You must know that the benefits are numerous, and they will become less and less as they are divided. We cannot cooperate with everyone. In this way, the first people to take advantage of us will be the celebrities and squires of Peixian County.
The Lu family now has several times the previous wealth, and it will become more and more over time. Now is the time to turn these into the Lu family's heritage.
Don’t rush for the next step, seek stability now and figure it out slowly.
Zuixian Brewing does not expand or increase production, and it remains as it is. It spreads the word to the outside world that the production is limited, and things are rare and valuable. This will actually lead to greater profits.
The advertisements around Peixian County will be sung by children. After a week, everyone will hear the name of Zuixianjiang.
Next, we will guard our one-third of an acre of land. When we have the strength to distribute more profits, we will take the next step."
"My father-in-law, it is harder to keep money than to make money.
Besides, the Lu family is a famous family, and knowledge is the first priority. We can't go astray. With the help of Drunk Immortal Brew, I think my father-in-law can visit his old friends more and sing to his son-in-law and the Lu family.
Money is always an external possession."
The Lu family had only been in Peixian for a little more than a month, and already such a fight had broken out. In this situation, there were so many secretly envious people, and there were so many people who coveted it. It was time to calm down.
Even if Lu Gong didn't come to him today, he would still go to Lu Gong. The Lu family didn't have the strength to be famous all over the world, so Peixian County would be enough.
Lu Gong drank sweet root water, thought carefully, and sat there for a long time. Qian Wen asked Lu Pheasant and Lu Su not to speak and to wait quietly.
Although Mr. Lu is an old fox, he is devoted to the Lu family. Moving to Peixian County, he thought that the Lu family would suffer for a while. Unexpectedly, on the contrary, a highlight moment appeared, and he was a little lost in the bursts of fireworks.
However, Qian Wen is not worried that it will be difficult for Lu Gong to wake up. Not to mention that Zuixianjiang is really in his hands, even Lu Gong's many years of experience will make him wake up after listening to Qian Wen's words.
When bringing three more glasses of water, Lu Gong asked Lu Su not to add more. He looked at Qian Wen and sighed in vain, "The words of a wise son-in-law are really a wake-up call. I have been really impatient these days. I am too greedy for the prosperity of these days and forget about it."
Lost the usual calmness.
Dear son-in-law, let’s play a game of chess.”
Qian Wen and Lu Gong played a game of chess. This game lasted for a long time. At the beginning, Lu Gong was a little impatient, a bit like he had just learned Go. He gradually calmed down and returned to his previous chess style little by little. He was neither arrogant nor impatient.
The road is peaceful and atmospheric, and my usual sharpness is present.
Lu Gong lost this game of chess.
But in the end, Mr. Lu smiled and left. He didn't ask Qian Wen what the Lu family should do next. He had already figured it out when he was playing chess. The old fox was back again and knew what to do.
Lu Pheasant and Lu Su stayed for a while longer before taking the maid back.
Qian Wen took out his spear and practiced martial arts for a while. He did not dare to fail in this martial arts. It was the skill for him to settle down and survive.
it's getting dark.
In the study.
Qian Wen wrote and drew on a pile of cloth in German. He was perfecting his Qin Dynasty travels.
Why use German? It’s very simple to guard against Yi Xiaochuan.
Write, stop, think, write something while waiting for Tian Cheng to arrive.
During this period, Qian Wen tamed
After Tian Cheng and others used coercion and inducement to truly confirm the loyalty of Tian Cheng and others, they let them go out and leave his side to do some things for him that the Lu family could not yet know about.
"Brother Wen~
Brother Wen~" The voice came from far to near, and the study door opened, and Yi Xiaochuan walked in happily with joy.
Qian Wen glanced at the opened door and said calmly, "Remember to knock on the door next time."
As he said that, he calmly put away the densely packed cloth with Russian writing on the table, and then placed a pair of bamboo slips on it.
This is the reason why he uses Russian in a cumbersome manner. Yi Xiaochuan has no sense of being a guest at all.
"Brother Wen, what are you writing about? It's mysterious." Yi Xiaochuan sat across from him and said with a playful smile.
"Write some Russian to your sister-in-law, teach her some foreign languages, and learn a lot." Qian Wen said casually, and as he spoke, he threw a piece of cloth full of his plans to Yi Xiaochuan, letting him look at it at will.
Yi Xiaochuan really looked through it, but couldn't understand it and returned it to Qian Wen, "What are they? Isn't the Xiaozhuan script broad and profound enough? I'm still learning now. Brother Wen, why are Qin Dynasty not Chinese characters?"
Qian Wen looked at Yi Xiaochuan speechlessly, put away his things, and glanced at the open study door. It was already dark, "What do you want from me? You are so anxious."
Also, go home early after dark. This Qin Dynasty has a curfew. If you are caught, you will have to go to the Great Wall, and I can't save you."
"I know, I know." Yi Xiaochuan said, "Stop nagging. I don't care because I know."
Then in a mysterious manner, she stretched her head in front of him and said, "Do you know who I met this afternoon?"
"Who?" Qian Wen looked at the small bamboo slip in front of him.
These are treasures of the Lu family. In ancient times, there were no mobile phones or TVs. Qian Wen started to enjoy reading these ancient books when he had nothing to do, and learned a lot.
"Stop looking, what's the use of these?" Yi Xiaochuan saw that he didn't care, and his desire to share was greatly reduced. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bamboo slips to block his view.
Before Qian Wen could get angry and scold him, Yi Xiaochuan said in surprise, "I have met Liu Bang. He is Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty."
Qian Wen was shocked, and then calmed down. What's the use of seeing Liu Bang? Now Liu Bang is still eating and drinking.
"Yes, I've seen it too." Qian Wen said calmly.
"Have you seen it before?" Yi Xiaochuan was startled, and then a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "That's right, now everyone in Pei County knows about the Lu family's virtuous son-in-law.
She holds the Lu family's most beautiful twins, and the hen that lays golden eggs.
How could I not have seen Liu Bang who was not yet prosperous?"
Qian Wen looked at Yi Xiaochuan in front of him and saw that he was sarcastic.
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
We are both fellow countrymen and time travellers. He is beautiful and has wealth in his arms, but Yi Xiaochuan is lame. The injury has not healed yet, so he will naturally be jealous.
"I tried to get your opinion on the name Zuixianjiang, and you were willing to sell it to me. I spent a lot of money on it.
The wine-making technology was developed by myself. Of course, it’s not a bit of research. It’s a small technology that everyone in the modern world knows.
I want you to settle down in the Qin Dynasty. Don't think about going home for a day. If you can't go back, you will be restless and delusional.
I asked you to join the Lu family's new business firm and help me. I gave you shares and status, but you didn't want it. You said you didn't need these.
You have the ability to get these things, and you can make yourself live a better life, but once you settle down, you become decadent, bringing out the modern detachment, immaturity, and childishness.
Once you encountered a dangerous situation on the road, you became afraid of these things. Afraid of being in danger, your original plan was put aside, and the boys in the freight team dismissed you.
I thought you had changed when I first met you, but in fact you haven't changed at all. You are still the same heartless Yi Xiaochuan who has always lived only for yourself and your own happiness.
Are you jealous of what I have now? These are the results of my hard work step by step. As a modern person, you can do it too, but if you don’t want to, what can I do, feed you like a duck?
I'm not your parent, so I don't have that obligation.
I'm tired, you can go about your business." Qian Wen said, regardless of Yi Xiaochuan's face, he ordered the guests to be kicked out.
Yi Xiaochuan's face turned red and black. He had never been reprimanded like this before. He was so ashamed and angry that he glanced at Qian Wen, said nothing, and turned away.
Qian Wen looked at Yi Xiaochuan's back and said calmly, "Close the door."
Boom~
The study door is closed.
Qian Wen continued to look down at his bamboo slips, not afraid that Yi Xiaochuan would leave Qian Mansion in anger.
After experiencing thieves who blocked the road, and experiencing life and death again, Yi Xiaochuan was already frightened. Without the strength to tie a chicken, he did not dare to leave him casually, and did not dare to run to Daqin casually.
But recently, the servants reported that Yi Xiaochuan was learning martial arts, and it seemed that he was spending a lot of money to learn from a veteran on the battlefield. Qian Wen smiled when he found out.
It's simply putting the cart before the horse. If you have money, you can't hire any battlefield veteran. You're still too self-righteous.
In the play, Yi Xiaochuan has never been engaged in production from beginning to end. He always eats and drinks from others, and acts like he is cool and self-righteous. When Qian Wen thought about it, he really wanted to laugh. He really admired him for his ability. Huo is the real soft rice king.
Ignore Yi Xiaochuan, this guy is unstable and not ruthless enough to be a threat to him.
I just met Liu Bang by chance, and I just forgot to ask him what happened between the two of them.
Continue to look at the bamboo slips.
When it was completely dark, Tian Cheng's voice appeared at the door of the study, "Sir~"
"Come in." Qian Wen raised his head and said calmly.
Tian Cheng opened the door softly and walked in, then closed the door gently, knelt down on one knee facing him and lowered his head, "Master, Shan Gen has found the cook Gao Yao that the master is looking for."
