Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

Leshan County is not a rich place, because it is open and connected in all directions, but it is an important place for transportation in Lianzhou, and the news flow is convenient and fast. Qin Shangyuan, as the county magistrate of Leshan County, An Rubao asked his second uncle to help find out about the local pearls According to the news, he was quite satisfied with the result.It's just that he wanted to start the implementation after driving Huicheng Grocery out of Anping Town, but now he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Wu Shifei's complexion was very bad. Although he didn't do it out of intention when facing An Rubao on weekdays, he never showed such blatant unkindness.An Rubao has been with him for a long time, knowing that he is moody, he doesn't care too much, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Boss Wu intends to cooperate with you?"

Wu Shifei didn't expect his purpose to be like this. Somewhat unexpected, he froze for a moment and refused, "No."

An Rubao didn't take it seriously, and simply sat down on Wu Shifei's lower chair, summoned the servant standing outside the door, and said, "Bring me a pot of tea, the kind from last time."

The servant couldn't refuse but didn't dare to answer. He bent over and stood aside in a cold sweat. Wu Shifei said first, "What Boss An said last time, drinking tea as a friend is the best thing. For tea, we only invite real men and friends who are courageous enough to be friends, and that’s all for those who are timid and cowardly. But it’s not easy for Boss An Xiao to come here during his busy schedule, so just serve Boss An Xiao a glass of water.”

The servant promised to go on, and really quickly brought An Rubao a glass of water.Rumors about groceries in the north and south have been going on in the town for the past few days. Wu Shifei's behavior like this just shows that he is a sincere friend. An Rubao will never take his childish tricks seriously. He took the clear water with a change of expression, took a sip and put it down, suddenly smiled and said: "I remember that the first time I met my elder brother was in Yuxing City. At that time, he was drinking with a group of scholars. My husband and I chatted a few gossips, and I was young and energetic, so I retorted, and it was my elder brother who stood up and not only scolded that person, but also asked me to go upstairs to talk, but because of that person, I believed that my elder brother and them were the same It was a bird of a feather who refused in anger. It was my elder brother who didn’t mind and took the initiative to communicate with him. That’s why I didn’t miss him. Since then, I know that a person must not be fooled by appearances. Illusion is within it.”

Wu Jiafei started his family with the righteous way, which is not comparable to the dignified wealthy family, but the family style is rigorous, and the current patriarch is open-minded and wise, and he cares about the education of the younger generation. He looks like a dandy, but he is not stupid. After hearing An Rubao's words, he already understood what he meant, and his face turned pale.

An Rubao seemed relaxed, but in fact he was secretly watching Wu Shifei's face all the time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and continued to say: "Speaking of which, Nanbei Grocery has been able to survive safely in the town for the past two years. Boss Wu took care of him secretly, and this feeling is as safe as a treasure in his heart. No wonder I just thought of a good idea, and you, Boss Wu, were the first ones I thought of."

These two sentences were moved with emotion, and the flattery was just right, and Wu Shifei felt much more at ease.In the past two years, he has really contributed a lot to the north and south groceries. Not to mention the two shops were given up, and those people in the town who were eager to get involved in the north and south groceries were secretly suppressed by him.An Rubao knew that he didn't do these things purely for him, but he still expressed his gratitude, which made Wu Shifei very useful.

However, I still couldn't get over my face, so I had to cough dryly, still with a cold expression, and said: "It's good that you know, for the sake of your conscience, I will reluctantly listen to your so-called good Ideas. But my ugly words are up front, if you can't satisfy this young master, you can get out of here obediently, and you don't have to come back again. "

An Rubao knew it well, and just smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Before I say anything, I have to ask Boss Wu first, what does Boss Wu think about Dizhu?"

The business of the Wu family spreads all over the country and even neighboring countries, involving many fields. Every year, they receive a lot of tribute from the people below. In order to win the favor of the master, most of them send up rare and rare ones. Since the earth pearl was discovered, it was sent to The Wu family did not miss it.Not to mention that An Rubao has sent many pearls to Zhuangzi in the past two years, and Wu Shifei is no stranger to earth pearls.

An Rubao asked abruptly, and Wu Shifei knew that he would not be aimless, so he thought about it and answered: "Land pearls are sweet and glutinous when eaten raw, but they are crispy and delicious when cooked and fried. There are many ways to make them. They are considered rare ingredients. It's just that the earth pearls are abundant. In Chiyan country. Although Chiyan country borders me, the soil and climate are quite different. In recent years, some places in Jing country have begun to plant pearls, but they are not widespread. This is because although pearls are rare, compared with rice, etc. The yield is low, it is prone to insect diseases, and it is difficult to plant, and you can’t get enough food. In my opinion, it can only be used as a rare product, and there is no great prospect.”

What Wu Shifei said is exactly what most people know about earth pearls.Qin Shangyuan also wrote in the letter that the territory of Jing Kingdom is not small, the south is adjacent to the sea, and the rest of the country is deserted except for the northwest, and most of them are connected to other countries, and Chiyan Kingdom is one of them.I think the pearls were discovered in Chiyan Country back then.A few years later, ground pearls began to be planted in some areas bordering Chiyan in the southwest of Jingguo.It's just that ground pearls are no more than rice, and the yield is low and it's troublesome to serve.Today's productivity is low, and compared with An Rubao's previous life, the yield per mu cannot be compared at all.In the eyes of farmers, the land is as important as life, and hard work in growing food cannot guarantee that they will not go hungry. How can they spend their time on this fresh but inapplicable thing? Wu Shifei is telling the truth when he says that it has no future.

An Rubao knew that he would say this, so he changed the subject and said, "Let me ask you again, this is the only oil factory owned by Boss Wu in Anping Town. I grew up in Yuxing City, and then came to Anping Town. From what I have seen, most of them are meat oil and rapeseed oil, maybe it is just my ignorance, Boss Wu has been to many places and has seen a lot, do you know if there are other types of oil?"

An Rubao heard that there was only one oil factory in the town, so he hurried over immediately.This oil shop is not small, An Rubao was very satisfied after seeing it, and immediately told the manager of the oil shop that he wanted to see the boss, and the manager invited Wu Shifei over, so they are now staying in the flower hall of the oil shop.

Seeing that he changed the topic to the oil workshop again, Wu Shifei couldn't help but startled, he had indeed been to many places, even the neighboring Chiyan and some small countries, he was not sure what An Rubao meant, hesitantly He replied: "Although I have been to many places, I only know these two, and others..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the earth pearl mentioned by An Rubao before, how smart he is People, Dang even connected the two together, slammed the table, and said: "You mean...you mean...it's the earth pearl..."

An Rubao knew that Wu Shifei had understood what he meant, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he nodded with a smile.Surprised expression appeared on Wu Shifei's face, and he was about to speak when the curtain of the inner room connected to the flower hall was pulled open, An Rubao rolled his eyes and was stunned for a moment.

The person who walked out of the inner room was Wu Pu with an anxious expression on his face.He had listened to Wu Shifei's words and stayed in the room obediently.The conversation between Wu Shifei and An Rubao was not loud, and he didn't pay attention to it. He suddenly heard the sound of Wu Shifei slapping the table. Afraid that Wu Shifei would conflict with An Rubao, he hurried out to make peace. , went out of the house without carefully looking at the situation in the hall, ran to Wu Shifei in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Master, if you have something to say, please speak carefully. Be calm and don't be impatient."

Wu Shifei was disturbed by him like this, the ecstasy that arose just now was reduced a bit, but the joy in his heart couldn't be calmed for a while, he stretched out his hand to push away Wu Pu who didn't understand, looked at An Rubao with burning eyes, and said: " It took only three or two years for the earth pearl to be discovered, where did you find out about it?"

An Rubao suppressed the doubts in his heart, rolled his eyes, and said: "I don't want to say more about how I know, but I can guarantee that the ground pearls definitely contain oil, and the oil squeezed from the ground pearls is definitely better than other oils in terms of taste and texture. The two are much better. It’s just that I don’t know how to extract the oil.”

That's right, the business that An Rubao wanted to discuss with Wu Shifei was peanut oil.In the previous life, due to the great abundance of material, An Rubao was surrounded by all kinds of edible oils, but the one that is widely known and accepted by the public is peanut oil.Peanut oil has clear color, fragrant smell and delicious taste. It is a kind of edible oil that is relatively easy to digest and is rich in various nutrients.An Rubao had just thought of this.It's just that he eats a lot of peanut oil, but he really doesn't know how to extract it.

Wu Shifei stared at An Rubao closely, saw that his face was upright, and he didn't seem to be fake. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let me just trust you once. Wu Pu, you heard me, send someone to spread the news immediately." , Let the land-sending pearls from the south come up, send as many as you have, and send them to Anping Town as soon as possible, and there is still a secret about this matter, and no news should be leaked."

Wu Pu had an oolong, standing aside was uncomfortable, when he heard his master's order, he hurriedly responded, turned and went out.

An Rubao looked at Wu Pu's leaving back, a gleam flashed in his eyes, Shi Shiran picked up the clear water on the table, and sighed: "I was wrong, I only said that tea can increase friendship, and wine can stir up emotions. But I forgot that there is a saying that you are full of love and drink water. Boss Wu treats each other with water, but I feel resentful, alas, I am shallow, ashamed and ashamed."

Wu Shifei returned to his previous lazy appearance, savoring the top-quality Longjing in his hand carefully, and said, "You are full of water? It's the first time I've heard that there are only interests between me and Boss An. Where does the friendship come from?"

An Rubao shook his head, and said: "No, no, no, there are no taboos when you drink water to your fullest, there are no taboos..."

Wu Shifei's face froze, and he pretended not to care and said, "Huh, what is no taboo?

An Rubao said: "As long as there is love, you are not afraid of starvation. What is it if you have no taboos? Just now I saw Brother Wu Pu come out of the inner room. The inner room is the master's place. He swaggered in and out like this. He and your master and servant Deep affection, it really means no taboos, I also express my feelings, so Boss Wu doesn't need to care about this."

Wu Shifei gritted his teeth secretly, and shouted to the outside: "Come here, show Boss Wu tea." An Rubao hit the snake on the stick, and followed him: "I want the same tea as your master." The servant Agreed to serve tea.

Wu Shifei was holding the cup, grinding his teeth angrily, and using force with his hands, he almost crushed the handle of the teacup.
