046 The name of the small building

Mr. Lu took a sip of the wine in the glass and said in an inciting tone: "Xiao Zhang, if you have this ability, you have never thought about opening a big restaurant or a winery? I can guarantee that if

If you open a restaurant, it will not be difficult for you to become popular all over the country in a few years with your skills! If you open a winery, I don't know what your liquor is like if I haven't tasted your "famous generals" and "good ministers".

But old man, I tasted your "warm fragrance" and "nephrite" at Lao Lan's house, and today I drank this "beauty" of yours. Based on my decades of drinking experience, I, Lao Lu, can guarantee that it is definitely the best.

The best rice wine, fruit wine, and rice wine! It’s not a problem to make money every day! How about it? Consider Grandpa Lu’s suggestion?” Grandpa Lu’s rhetoric is exactly the same as that of Wei Feng and Xiao Fei, and his thoughts are probably the same as Lan’s.

Feifei and Mu Xinran are two greedy girls. Only after Zhang Jin opened a shop and set up a factory could it be easier to satisfy his appetite. Otherwise, with their status and only one-sided friendship with Zhang Jincai, how could they have the nerve to come here often to eat and drink?

Mr. Lu's suggestion attracted a roaring response from Mr. Zhao, who beat the drum and said, "Yes, I think Old Lu's idea is a good one. Don't worry, in fact, it is not that troublesome to open a restaurant or a winery.

. Although we old men have all retired, we still have a little bit of energy. If you really have this plan, your Grandpa Zhao is here to guarantee you that as long as it is in the territory of Guangdong Province, you will definitely be allowed to do it.

No matter what is right or wrong, I will not make it difficult for you. Whether it is a loan, land grant, recruitment, or registration, it is not a problem. I guarantee you good fortune and everything goes smoothly. What's more, your Uncle Lan will help you even if we are not there."

The temptation of Zhang Jin's dishes and Zhang Jin's wine is really strong. In addition, if there is any conflict with your interests, Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhao's proposals naturally attracted everyone at the table to nod.

The promises they made expressed their approval.

If a few months ago, before Zhang Jin was possessed by "Martial Arts Three Kingdoms", he had been approached by such a good thing that could both make money and gather connections, he would have hurriedly agreed. At that time,

He is a money addict, otherwise he would not be able to thrive in the 'pharmacy department', the most 'dirty' place in the hospital.

But now for Zhang Jin, upgrading, becoming a superman, and learning kung fu are the most important things. Money, power, these things that 'mortals' care about, although they are still indispensable to Zhang Jin, a monster who still lives in the 'mortal world',

But it is no longer as important as it once was.

So for Mr. Zhao's proposal, which was enough to make more than 90% of ordinary people excited, Zhang Jin just smiled lightly, neither agreeing nor rejecting, but looked at him: "Grandpa, Grandma Du, Uncle Lan, Aunt Lan

, what do you think of my place?"

The table was full of people who had worked hard in the most complicated officialdom for many years. Naturally, they heard that there was something in his words. The only thing he needed at this time was a complimentary person to help him pull out the words. So.

Of course Mr. Lan refused to accept the role of admiration: "Xiao Zhang, you are so lucky to have chosen such a good place! Not only does it have mountains and rivers, but it is also wild and popular. To be honest, it is better than Lan

The national sanatoriums where grandpa stayed were much better."

Zhang Jin smiled and blurted out the words he had prepared long ago: "To be honest, I don't have any big ambitions. I don't want to be a billionaire, nor do I want to be a high-ranking official. They have to face kidnappings, threats, and intrigues all the time.

Coupled with the spying and tracking of the paparazzi, I think they are too tiring, too unfree, and too dangerous. And to be blunt, I have no compassion for others, nor do I have any big ideas about revitalizing China.

I just want to live my life comfortably and happily. Look, isn’t my life pretty good now? I am leisurely every day. If my savings are about to be spent, I will probably go out to find a restaurant and work part-time for two days.

, or find a few acquaintances to sell two jars of wine. I think with my skills, this will be enough for me to live happily for a while." Zhang Jin's attitude towards life is somewhat like a worldly expert who has seen through the world, and sometimes like a frustrated person.

A frustrated old man.

Wei Feng and Qi Bing both had experience in admonishing Zhang Jin's idea but it was ineffective, and these old men knew that they should avoid "talking lightly and talking deeply" in relationships, so although they still felt it was a pity, they still said it haha

Changed the subject.

"Xiao Zhang, you see this place is so nice, have you given it a name? For example, what kind of pavilion, what kind of pavilion, what kind of small building, etc.?" Mr. Liu asked.

"A name? Why a name? This is just my home, why do I need a name? Aren't those 'gardens' and 'waterside pavilions' in the city the name of the community? They do it for the sake of good identification.

At least calling a taxi is easy to explain, so there’s no need for me here, right?”

"Vulgar!" As soon as Zhang Jin finished his words, Mr. Liu scolded him angrily and began to explain: "Can your place be the same as those? Look at the mountains and rivers, how can it be the same as those in the city?

Is it the same? Are there any traces of artificial carving here? Although your small building is not luxurious or exquisite from the inside or outside, and even the layout is not good, it is still embedded in this landscape and garden.

Harmony. How can you compare it with those in the city! I think this place is a waste for you to live in!"

Seeing Mr. Liu suddenly showing a serious look, Zhang Jin was choked to death. He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart: "Why is this old man like this? I can do whatever I like about my own house, and no one else cares about what I say.

Isn’t it? Why is this old man so aggrieved by this house that he comes to me to fight against his injustice?”

Seeing that the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff, Mr. Lan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Zhang, this old Liu is just an old stubborn man. He has been doing art all his life and has been in charge of the cultural and education department for half his life.

, he has developed this kind of extremely sincere character, and he is very aloof. Don’t argue with him. If this old guy had been in the 1973 "Criticism of Lin Piao and Kong, Stinky Laojiu", he would definitely have been the first one.

The person who was caught out for a fight. Such a sour and stinky guy, that is, we old guys, because we have been together for a long time, we also know that this old guy is this kind of person, and we can tolerate it, so don't mind."

Zhang Jin was relieved after hearing Mr. Lan's explanation. After all, he was too young to argue with these older men. Besides, he also knew that these 'artists' had more or less eccentricities, and the longer they had been engaged in

The longer it gets, the weirder it becomes. So Zhang Jin smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and said to Mr. Liu: "Grandpa Liu, don't be anxious? I just thought that if you say this place is nice, it doesn't matter.

You have to give it a name, right? In my opinion, it doesn’t matter what the house looks like, nor what the environment is like. What matters is the people living in it! You see, ‘Nanyang Zhuge Lu’ is based on Zhuge Liang’s name.

Xishu Ziyunting is named after Yang Xiong, and Du Fu Thatched Cottage is named after Du Fu, the "poet sage". Who has ever really noticed the scenery and scenery of such a famous house?

?Besides, whether it’s Zhuge Lu, Ziyunting or Du Fu’s Thatched Cottage, they were all named by later generations. They didn’t seem to have any names when they were alive!”

After listening to Zhang Jin's words, Mr. Liu, a 'cultural man' and 'artist', also nodded thoughtfully and said in a very solemn tone: "Well, what you said makes sense. This is just me being vulgar, right?

I can't stand it anymore, Xiao Zhang." Mr. Liu is obviously a straight-laced person. He apologized to a kid in front of a group of old brothers and a few juniors, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Mr. Liu's straightforward and sincere appearance made Zhang Jin a little embarrassed. Although after being possessed by "Wulin Three Kingdoms", his sense of superiority was extremely expanded, and he felt in his heart that he was superior to everyone everywhere. But for 'respecting the elderly'

Zhang Jin has always maintained the most basic morality of loving children. Seeing Mr. Liu's sincere apology, Zhang Jin hurriedly said: "Actually, I just said it casually. Besides, I don't have any literary talent.

, but I don’t know how to come up with a good name. If I had to name this house, I probably wouldn’t be able to come up with a good name even if I had to hold it in for three or two months. I might just end up with a dry name similar to ‘Little House’.

It's just a name like Lou'. It has no beauty and no artistic conception. If you tell others, why don't you laugh out loud? Or why don't you help me come up with a name?"

Old man Liu didn't say anything, but after chewing the word "Xiaolou" mentioned by Zhang Jin twice, he said with bright eyes: "'Xiaolou' is a good name! It's plain, appropriate and not ostentatious.

.And although the word "small building" sounds ordinary, it has countless connotations. "The east wind blew last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back at the bright moon." This refers to melancholy;

In autumn, the light smoke billows across the screen. This is about tranquility; "The small building is cold, and the night is long and the curtains are drooped." This is about lovesickness;..."

Seeing Mr. Liu, an old scholar, looking crazy, Zhang Jin was immediately dumbfounded. Zhang Jin had heard of this kind of person, but it was in novels and TV, such as the famous Mr. Kong Yiji, but he didn't

When I think about it, people like Mr. Liu Suancheng actually exist in modern society, and such people can actually reach high official positions! It's true that 'the world is so big, there is nothing strange about it'.

Several old men who have been with him for decades know Mr. Liu's character very well and know that once he enters this crazy state, it is best for others not to interrupt;

Although Wei Feng didn't know Mr. Liu's personality, there was a huge difference in status. He knew that when his superiors spoke, whether they were scolding or praising, whether they were useful or useless, except for the occasional words that did not miss the opportunity, he knew

It is best not to interrupt except to applaud;

Although Lan Zedong and He Manli are not completely aware of Mr. Liu's temper, and because of their high positions, they are also qualified to intervene. But who made Mr. Lan his father, and because of this relationship, they

When facing Mr. Liu, the seniority level is lowered. You know, whether it is a political family, an economic family, or even a political family, as long as the family can be connected with the word "family", the word "seniority" is very important.

They were particular about it, so these two people also lost the right to interrupt; and Lan Feifei was really interested in hearing Mr. Liu's extensive explanations, so of course she would not interrupt;
