Chapter 78 The Big and Small Fox
"Shut up!"
Shen Zhongxin's angry eyes burst into flames.
The silver winter melon in the cellar has been saved by the family for many generations.
Shenjiaji suffered many disasters, including a Qingqi raid by the Liao people nine years ago.
Not a single one moved.
You loser.
Actually imitating that bastard Shen Lin?
Destroy the family and the country?
It’s not my turn to be named Shen yet.
Fengqiu Capital, all over the south of the Yangtze River.
There are too many wealthy gentry with millions of dollars.
Who is stupid?
Will you move out the silver winter melons you have stored in your cellar?
"Let's go and sit at that brat's house."
"You two go too!"
"We are all the ones leading the troops. We need to practice Qi nourishing skills."
Shen Yi rode up to catch up, curling his lips in disdain.
Dad, you have been studying behind closed doors for so many years.
Qi-nourishing Kungfu is not that good either.
I haven't said the words "silver winter melon" yet.
You become furious and want to eat people.
Hum hum, miser!
When the second uncle came to visit, Shen Lin naturally did not dare to neglect him.
Everyone fought secretly and went back and forth several times.
It’s hard to say who suffers and who takes advantage.
After all, they all have the surname Shen.
Under the table, you can play circle kicking.
They had to talk and laugh happily on the stage, as if they were just normal people.
"Hey, second uncle, you are a very busy person now."
"Still free? Come to Lushuihe Village for inspection?"
Shen Lin smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows, but he was cursing secretly in his heart.
Don't you find it hard to run around on this hot day?
Why didn't you catch a stroke or get caught in the wind or something like that?
"Hahaha, Shen Lin, you kid will actually enjoy the blessings."
"Yang Chengliang is gone, and the big house he left behind will be an advantage for you!"
"With mountains on the back and water on the side, the cool breeze blows."
“What a great place to escape the summer heat!”
Shen Lin smiled respectfully.
"Where where?"
"If my second uncle likes it, he can come and stay for a few days every autumn and summer!"
"It's not that far apart anyway, isn't it?"
"Come on, come on, it's stuffy in the house, let's just sit in the pavilion."
"Chu'er, come on, come on, I've met my second uncle."
"You guys, serve herbal tea and cold melon..."
"By the way, where's the rock sugar and white fungus soup I invented a few days ago? Bring it up too."
"Let everyone relieve the heat."
The front yard pavilion is located above the rockery pond.
The branches of two large camphor trees are lush and leafy, providing a canopy of green shade.
The sun shines through the leaves.
There are a few stars, but I can't feel a trace of heat.
The tall wall cannot block the cool breeze of the Lushui River.
Naturally, Liang Zizhong took the bodyguards brought by the family to the corridor of the wing to settle down.
Of course, herbal tea and fruits are also served.
This kind of etiquette is not lacking in the Shen Lin family.
Liu Chuer and several young girls were holding iced fruits.
A large altar of cold Tremella fungus and lotus seed soup was also placed on the stone table.
Then, Liu Chuer slightly bent her knees and said a long blessing.
"I've met my second uncle!"
"Meet two cousins!"
Shen Zhongxin smiled kindly.
"Get up, my family, don't be polite!"
"What a dignified and sensible daughter-in-law."
"Shen Lin, you brat, you have good taste."
"Blessing is not bad, but you have to cherish it!"
"Chu'er, my second uncle came to visit us for the first time, and he didn't bring any good gifts."
"This Hetian jade pendant has been with me for many years and is given to you!"
The elders gave it to me, but I dare not refuse it.
Liu Chuer took the jade pendant that looked quite valuable.
Went down happily.
The second uncle who is an official is indeed more generous.
The third uncle, Shen Zhongru, has been here several times.
Eat and drink, no need to be polite.
Not only did he not give me any gifts, he also made me look embarrassed every time before leaving.
Fortunately, his business is so big and he doesn't understand any etiquette.
Hum hum, come again next time.
Don't blame me for letting the mountain dogs go!
The Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup here in Shen Lin is unique.
In this day and age, how can anyone grow Tremella fuciformis?
That's all, Shen Lin drew the pattern.
Let the women and children of Mangshan Village pick it in the mountains.
"Tsk, tsk, it tastes good!"
Shen Zhongxin praised highly.
"A bowl of this Tremella... lotus seed soup will make your whole body feel cool!"
"You kid, do you still have such a good thing hidden?"
"You don't know how to pay a little tribute to your second uncle?"
Shen Lin said with a smile.
"As long as your second uncle likes it."
"Tremella fuciformis is an extremely rare mountain treasure that only grows on a few dry trees."
"Its efficacy is no less than that of Ganoderma lucidum and Hericium erinaceus."
"I didn't say anything, I'll pack a bag of dry goods for my second uncle later."
"Dried white fungus soaked in water may cause hair growth."
"One handful can make such a big pot of stew!"
Shen Zhongxin seemed to be extremely satisfied with Shen Lin's respect.
The two of them chatted about daily affairs.
For a while, it was blissful.
Shen Yi next to you is not polite.
He drank three large bowls of white fungus soup in a row before belching reluctantly.
Stop talking.
Anyway, if you don’t eat, you won’t eat for free.
Does Shen Lin still dare to poison him?
He himself was drunk too.
However, this one is old and one is young.
Just two big and small foxes, they are more affectionate than their own father and son.
I strongly despise you.
No, I have to eat three more chunks of cold melon.
Earn some interest first!
Damn it, Shen Lin is such a little bastard.
It’s more enjoyable than our main family.
One day, I, Shen Yi, will be the head of the family.
If nothing else, you have to learn from him in this aspect.
What’s the point of keeping those silver winter melons?
Can’t eat or drink?
I have only heard of poems and books being passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Heirloom to a wealthy family?
If you can't be rich for more than three generations, who doesn't have a few prodigal sons?
Well, that’s how we’ll do it from now on!
It lasted two quarters of an hour.
Only then did Shen Zhongxin get to the point.
"Shen Lin, you can hide it from your third uncle, but you can't hide it from me!"
"Today, we, father and son, open the skylight and speak frankly!"
"Your second uncle, even if he takes advantage, he will never let you suffer."
"You keep saying that you don't want to do the iron business? Don't fool me!"
"With a large amount of business tax input, your second uncle will not be short of money."
"Tell me, what's the price of pig iron? How much is refined iron worth?"
Of course Shen Lin knew that the old guy was not short of money.
Didn't you tell me earlier that it would be over if I just bought it?
Shen Zhongru came here either to see the cement house or to study the loom.
I also want to recruit my blacksmith.
Where can I find a professional blacksmith in my family?
Everyone wears multiple hats.
If he hires blacksmiths, isn't he hiring my servants as construction workers?
Who can give him a good face?
"Second uncle, I have fine iron, but the quantity is not large."
"Don't worry, let my nephew explain!"
"You have read a lot. You should know the quality of iron ore, which is the key to determining the quality of iron ore."
"Nowadays, Shenjiaji is also smelting steel. Who in other counties is not busy preparing for the invasion and training troops?"
"On the market, let alone high-grade ore, there is ordinary iron ore."
"It's already gone up by two or three cents, right?"
This is indeed true.
The Luoyang Mountain bandits are too powerful.
It’s not just the dozens of prefectures and counties below Chanzhou.
The northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already in turmoil.
As strategic materials, grain, salt, iron, leather, beef tendon, etc.
Is it weird if the price doesn’t increase?
Shen Zhongxin was very calm, stroking his beard and smiling.
"This old man naturally understands."
"Where is my second uncle!"
"I just care about your supply."
"And, the price!"
