Mr. Transcendence

Ever since Uncle Yuan's family started selling bean sprouts, and Yuan Anping taught the method to his father and son, Yuan Anping stopped caring about bean sprouts at all.All he had to do was pay for the beans and a penny.

The day was a fine day, sunny and sunny.

A few people sat in the yard basking in the sun, Zhong Sunrui went to play with his friends, Huo Xiaohan was naturally busy with handwork, and Zhongsun Lianjue closed his eyes to test Yuan Anping's endorsement, and when the other party made a mistake, he opened his eyes Give him a smack, and then continue to listen to his back.

Yuan Anping couldn't help but burst into bitter tears. When he came here, he still had to be a student, and there was also a strict teacher who liked to play handboards. At some point, he really wanted to die again.Fortunately, the other party also knew to save him some face, and would not beat him when there were students around, except of course, Zhong Sunrui.Strictly speaking, Zhongsun Lianjue, the grandfather, was still worried about Zhongsun Rui's studies.

Finally finished memorizing the article, Yuan Anping was free for a while.I rubbed my sore palm, I got used to it after being beaten more times.

Yuan Anping talked to Huo Xiaohan: "It will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days, why don't you go to the county town and buy new year's goods in advance."

Huo Xiaohan thought for a while and thought: "Let's go with the villagers at that time, and it will be more beneficial to buy things with them."

Yuan Anping had an epiphany, the aunts in the village can bargain, and it's the same here: "Xiaohan, you really know how to live."

Huo Xiaohan bowed his head: "Everyone in the village is like this." Money can save a penny.

"That's different. You are the only one in our family who knows how to live. If I go to buy it, I definitely don't know how to bargain with others."

Zhongsun Lianjue snorted, and said in his heart: "This kid really knows how to take advantage of his mouth. He is not married yet, so he is ashamed to tell Shuang'er what about our family."

Huo Xiaohan is embarrassed: "I...I don't know how to bargain. Buy with others."

Yuan Anping said in a serious manner: "Well, this method is smart." Then he suggested: "Why don't you go shopping for new year's goods with uncle and auntie, they must have experience."

"……it is good."

Zhongsun Lianjue opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Anping, who kept leaning towards Huo Xiaohan's side, and then at Huo Xiaohan, whose head was almost hanging down to his chest, and closed his eyes.Thinking about it in his heart, it seems that the things that should be paid attention to when interacting with people should be discussed with Yuan Anping. Of course, if he sees wrong behavior, he will smoke when he sees it.

When Yuan Anping talked to Huo Xiaohan, it was completely out of words.From what to eat for lunch today to what to buy for the New Year, all kinds of long-winded.However, these topics can make Huo Xiaohan feel more at ease, the two of them will always talk and start discussing how to make a certain dish taste better.Those who don't know think that these two are big foodies.

Just as the two were discussing various ways to make chicken, they heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is Mr. Yuan here?"

He was the only one surnamed Yuan in this yard, and with curiosity in his heart, Yuan Anping agreed, "Yes." Because the gate was closed, he couldn't see the speaker, so he got up and went out to see who it was.

Opening the gate, Yuan Anping first saw a man dressed as a servant, and then saw a carriage not far away.After seeing the sign on the carriage clearly, he thought, "Zhang Linyi? Why is he here?"

"The younger one is a servant of the Zhang family. My master is here to visit Mr. Yuan."

Seeing the carriage approaching slowly, Yuan Anping opened the door.

Zhang Linyi got down from the carriage, and the fox fur on the cloak of brocade clothes made him look even more noble.

Zhang Linyi said pleasantly, "Young Master Yuan, long time no see."

After glancing at the villagers watching from a distance, Yuan Anping had no choice but to reply, "Master Zhang, please come in."

After entering the yard, Yuan Anping closed the gate, also blocking the curious eyes from outside.

"Xiaohan, go and make some tea." Then he said to Zhang Linyi: "Our place is not as good as your residence, so don't dislike drinking tea from a bowl later."

Zhang Linyi smiled: "You are straightforward."

After inviting people into the main room and sitting down, Yuan Anping asked directly: "The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, why do you have time to come to me today?"

Zhang Linyi smiled and shook his head: "You are really..."

Yuan Anping leaned back in his chair: "I've always been straightforward, I don't think you have any leisure to come and chat with me. If you have anything to do, just talk."

Zhang Linyi didn't care about his attitude, and expressed his intention of coming: "Okay then, I'll tell you directly. I'm interested in bean sprouts."

"Oh?" Yuan Anping was a little surprised, "Do you like this little money?"

Zhang Linyi couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm a businessman, and if I don't look down on anything, I won't look down on money."

"It makes sense." Yuan Anping didn't mince words with him: "Then why are you so interested?"

"It depends on the situation." When talking about business, it is always necessary to find out how the business is going to be easy to talk about.

Yuan Anping understood Zhang Linyi's temper, and in his opinion he was quite a straightforward person, so he explained the situation: "Bean sprouts, as the name suggests, are grown from beans. Ten catties of soybeans can yield about sixty catties of vegetables, mung beans It can be distributed about [-] catties, and it can be harvested in about seven days."

"Seven days?" Zhang Linyi was surprised.

"Yes." Yuan Anping said that he heard correctly.

Zhang Linyi didn't expect it to be so fast. He thought it would be very profitable to grow vegetables in winter, but he didn't expect the growing time to be so short. This made him even more interested.

Zhang Linyi was also very straightforward: "I want to buy your prescription."

Yuan Anping didn't reject the seller, but said, "My uncle is selling bean sprouts. If I sell the method to you, can he continue selling vegetables nearby?"

"No." Zhang Linyi said very simply.

Yuan Anping frowned: "It's just a small place like Huaxian County, so you can't share much of your interests, right?"

Zhang Linyi smiled: "I did this for your own good. You have to know that not everyone is like me, willing to pay for the prescription."

Thinking about the meaning of Zhang Linyi's words, Yuan Anping frowned: "You mean..."

Zhang Linyi smiled: "In your eyes, this thing is just a small business. That's because your vision is only on the small area of ​​Hua County. You are a smart person, so you should understand that sooner or later someone will stare at you. Get this thing. And how those people are willing to get the prescription depends on their character."

Yuan Anping naturally thought clearly, so he asked: "Selling it to you, can you guarantee that other people will not want to get prescriptions from me again?" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If you don't have enough social status, it will be troublesome to do anything. .”

Zhang Linyi said confidently: "My name, Zhang Linyi, still has some weight."

Yuan Anping thought to himself: "This guy is really a stinky fart."

"Okay, since that's the case, what price do you plan to pay for the sub?"

Zhang Linyi: "200 taels of silver."

The gap with selling mirrors is not insignificant, but Yuan Anping also understands that 200 taels is not bad, although they can earn this money by selling slowly, the question is whether they have the opportunity to sell slowly, but he still I couldn't help stabbing: "Hmph, you are really generous."

Zhang Linyi smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, I understand, you are a businessman." What is a businessman, if you can save a penny, it is a penny. "Give another 60 taels, and the business will be closed."

Zhang Linyi bargained: "50 taels."

Yuan Anping was not happy: "No, I hate the number two hundred and five."

"Then 240 taels."

Yuan Anping put on a taunting gesture: "Hmph, the majestic Mr. Zhang, are you willing to cut the 20 taels of silver with me?"

Zhang Linyi took it very seriously: "Of course, if the 20 taels of silver were exchanged for steamed buns, many people would be able to live."

"One-buy price, 260 taels. Think about cutting off 20 taels, and there is no door."

"Then take a step back, 250 fifty taels."

"No, 250 six taels, the lowest price."

"Why do you like to add six?"

"Six is ​​my lucky number, don't try to lower the price."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhang Linyi didn't continue to bargain: "Okay." Then he ordered the servant beside him: "Bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

After signing the contract, Yuan Anping put down his brush: "You are really good, you have spent so much talking for four taels of silver. The few boxes of gifts you gave are more than this money."

Zhang Linyi accepted the contract: "It's two different things. Giving a gift is to make friends, but we are talking about business now. Don't talk about pressing down four taels of silver, even if it is down to a penny, that is my ability."

Yuan Anping was really convinced: "Okay, you are right. Would you like to visit the place where I grow bean sprouts?"

"it is good."

On the way to his house with Zhang Linyi, he was naturally a bystander along the way.

Let the other party see the situation of sending out bean sprouts, and write down the specific method for the other party.

After leaving the house, Yuan Anping asked: "Are you going back now, or..." and then go back later.

Seeing that the other party meant so much, Zhang Linyi was speechless: "This is your way of hospitality? I got you tens of thousands of taels anyway, why don't you treat me to lunch?"

As long as the two were in the yard, Yuan Anping didn't care about the fact that the other party said he had a huge sum of money: "Don't say it as if I took advantage of it. Don't you often say that you are a businessman? Businessmen will do business at a loss?"

Zhang Linyi looked at him: "Then will you stay or not?"

Yuan Anping said with some reluctance: "Stay. But the simple food, don't just dislike it at the dinner table."

Zhang Linyi couldn't help but despise him: "If you have tens of thousands of taels of silver and still pick it up like this, you really have the potential to be a businessman."

Yuan Anping also despised him: "Is it really okay to say that about yourself?"

Zhang Linyi: "..."

After returning to Huo Xiaohan's place, Yuan Anping looked at the ingredients taken out of the carriage, and couldn't help teasing him: "You are really considerate. You know that there is nothing good in my house, so you prepare your own ingredients. For the sake of the Wu Zang Temple, you are really Take great pains."

Zhang Linyi admitted honestly: "That is, if I wrong anyone, I won't wrong myself."

Yuan Anpinghan: "...you are Mr. Zhang, remember to maintain your tall image, how dare you talk nonsense with me."

"What image?" Zhang Linyi didn't understand the meaning of being tall.

Yuan Anping suddenly felt as lonely as snow in his life, "Forget it, you can do whatever you like." Saying that, he went to the kitchen.

Seeing so many ingredients in the kitchen, Huo Xiaohan was worrying about what to do at noon, when he saw Yuan Anping coming in, he seemed to be seeing a savior: "Brother Anping, what are you doing at noon?"

Yuan Anping said casually: "There are so many things, you can do whatever you want."

Huo Xiaohan was surprised: "How can I do it casually? He is Master Zhang, what if what I do can't get into his mouth?"

Yuan Anping was puzzled: "Why can I eat it, but I'm afraid he won't be able to eat it?"

"He...he is Master Zhang." What a natural tone.

Embarrassed, "Why do I feel that the person surnamed Zhang has a feeling of being deified, what's the situation?" Yuan An calmly said.

Huo Xiaohan was worried: "He must be used to delicacies from mountains and seas. The chef who cooks must not be an ordinary person. The dishes must be arranged like flowers. How can he appreciate my dishes?"

Yuan Anping couldn't help but shook his shoulders: "Xiao Han, why are you nervous? He won't eat if he doesn't like it. There's nothing to worry about."

Huo Xiaohan didn't think so: "Isn't it good to offend Mr. Zhang? People say that if you get Mr. Zhang's appreciation, there will be great benefits. He finally came to the door, so he can't let people go back hungry, right? Then he I won't help you anymore."

Seeing that he was worried and wanted to help himself, he explained: "You don't have to be nervous." He didn't care whether Zhang Linyi appreciated him or not, of course he couldn't say that, "It's impossible for him to turn against me just because of a meal. , you can do it boldly. How about I order food?"

Huo Xiaohan thinks this suggestion is very feasible: "Okay, I can rest assured that you order."

Yuan Anping looked at so many chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and casually mentioned a few dishes.

As for Zhang Linyi, after being thrown out by such an unreliable master as Yuan Anping, it is not easy for him to drill into the kitchen with him.Seeing an old man in the yard, he took a stool and sat beside him and chatted with him.That little bench didn't match his attire as much as it wanted.He didn't care, and he wouldn't feel slighted because of it. If his mind was really so small, he wouldn't have achieved what he is today.

Zhang Linyi found that the old man was a little indifferent to him, and he didn't care, but he always felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

At lunch, Huo Xiaohan performed super-level when Yuan Anping moved his mouth.Although the presentation is not pretty, Yuan Anping said that the taste is top-notch.

Huo Xiaohan couldn't eat with them, so he settled with Zhong Sunrui in the kitchen. As for Zhang Linyi's men, they prepared another table.In the main room, Yuan Anping, Zhang Linyi, and Zhongsun Lianjue as companions had lunch together.

Because Yuan Anping had to attend class shortly after the meal, Zhang Linyi didn't stay any longer, so he left.

After Yuan Anping sent the person away, as soon as he came back, he saw Huo Xiaohan looking like he wanted to ask something.He couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, he is very satisfied with your cooking."

Huo Xiaohan was relieved when he heard it, and his eyebrows curved: "That's good." Thinking that there are some ingredients left in the kitchen: "There are still some dishes in the kitchen, I haven't used them up, I wanted them to take them away, but I'm afraid to say Laughed at by them."

"He doesn't care about this stuff." Thinking of the other party bargaining with himself for four taels of silver, God knows whether the other party cares, "Let's keep it for us to eat." As for the seller's 250 six taels of silver, he plans to go to the store in the afternoon. Uncle Yuan's house.

In the evening, after all the students had left, Yuan Anping took the money to Yuan Gensheng's house.

"Uncle."

After Yuan Gensheng asked Yuan Anping to sit down, he couldn't help asking: "Anping, I heard that Master Zhang came to our village to look for you today, is it true?"

"Well, it's him. It's also because of him that I came to talk to you." He said and took out the money bag: "Here is 100 taels of silver." Yuan Anping pushed it in front of him.

Yuan Gensheng was taken aback by his actions, and Zhou Xiangzhi and a few children on the side were also shocked, 100 taels of silver, they had never seen so much money.

Yuan Gensheng came back to his senses: "Anping, what do you mean?"

Yuan Anping explained: "Master Zhang took a fancy to our bean sprouts, and bought our prescription for 250 six taels of silver. Uncle, he told me that someone is after the bean sprouts. Master Zhang is willing to spend money to buy prescriptions, but others may not. Yes. I thought about it and decided to sell the recipe.”

Yuan Gensheng was still a little disappointed when he heard that Fang Zi was sold, but when he heard that someone else was following him, he felt that it was right to sell it.He has heard of a lot of robbery and robbery, but not everyone is as fastidious as Mr. Zhang.

Regarding the silver, Yuan Gensheng declined: "Anping, it's good to sell the recipe, so as not to offend people we can't deal with. But I can't take the money. The prescription belongs to you, and the money should be yours if you sell it." of."

Yuan Anping explained to him: "Uncle, you should have got the money. If you hadn't gone out to sell vegetables, Mr. Zhang would not have heard the news and came to buy recipes from me, and I would not have gotten the money. I originally wanted to I thought this business would be done by you, but I didn’t expect that the business would fail so soon, so the 100 taels can be considered as compensation for some losses.”

Yuan Gensheng refused: "No, no, this code is one code, I can't take this money."

"Uncle, you take it. If you don't take it, I feel uneasy."

"No, if I take it, I won't be safe. Anping, put it away, I won't ask for the money."

Yuan Anping handed the money to Zhou Xiangzhi: "Auntie, you take it. Brother Zhuzi and Sister Xiaoyu will get married next year, but they will need money."

How could Zhou Xiangzhi dare to accept such a large amount of money: "No, no, Anping, your uncle and I know what you want, but we really can't accept this money."

Yuan Anping could see that they were really unwilling to accept the money. Thinking about it, 100 taels might be a lot of money in their eyes.

"Uncle, do you think this is okay? If you don't charge 100 taels, how about 50 taels?"

Yuan Gensheng hurriedly shook his head: "I won't accept a tael, this is your money, how can I take your money."

Yuan Anping was helpless, but at the same time, he was very relieved. There was a bottom line for not being greedy for money, and he also felt at ease.He took out the money: "Uncle, you must take the 50 taels, or I will throw away the 100 taels here, and you don't want to give it back to me." He got up and left.

"Anping, it's not going to work, take it back quickly." Yuan Gensheng grabbed the silver and wanted to chase it.

Zhou Xiangzhi grabbed him and said, "Even if you want to return the money, you can't just hold it like this. The money is not in vain."

Yuan Gensheng made sense when he heard it: "Xiao Yu, go find a money bag."

"Don't worry, let's go to the house and talk." He said and pulled Yuan Gensheng into the back room.

The children were still a little dazed, they saw the back and forth of 100 taels of silver just now.

Yuan Dahe whispered to the stone beside him: "Second brother, what can you buy with 50 taels of silver?"

"I can buy a lot of things. The cow from the village chief's house cost 14 taels of silver when I bought it. If I can keep it... our family can also have a cow." Shitou didn't expect Yuan Anping to be so generous, and he was willing. Give his family so much silver, if it wasn't for his father not to want it, it would be 100 taels. How much is 100 taels!

In the back room, after some discussion between the couple, Yuan Gensheng decided to keep the 50 taels.Although his wife was right, Anping would feel uneasy if he refused to accept it.But he accepted it, feeling uneasy, and always felt that he should not accept the money.But with this money, his son can marry a wife more smoothly, and his daughter can marry better.In the end, Yuan Gensheng decided to keep the money for the sake of the children in the family.

Besides, when Zhang Linyi returned to the mansion, after some struggles, he finally thought of where he had met Zhongsun Lianjue: "It turned out to be him! I didn't expect him to be here!"

The young man at the side was serving at the front, and asked: "Who is the master talking about?"

Zhang Linyi looked over with sharp eyes.

The little servant trembled in fright, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Master, forgive me, I will never dare again!"

Zhang Linyi's tone was cold: "No next time."

The boy lowered his head humbly: "Yes!"
