This box is used by him to store the small things he got by signing in. Now that he has nothing to do, he just needs to sort it out.
Ballpoint pen, perfume, telescope...
Lin Xuan patted his forehead and forgot about the ballpoint pen. Before, he was thinking of having a ballpoint pen or a fountain pen to write faster.
He already had it, but he forgot about it.
Lin Xuan took out the ballpoint pen, and after thinking about it, took out the perfume.
Li Lizhi is now considered his fiancée, so she should give her some gifts.
"Sir, Lin Ping is here." Chunyue walked in and said.
Lin Xuan put away the perfume and said: "Let him come in."
Lin Ping walked in, raised his hands and said, "I've met the young master!"
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this time!"
"Young master has broken me, this is what I should do." Lin Ping said.
Lin Xuan asked: "When you come back, will there be no problem there?"
"Back to the young master, Sun Ning is in charge there now. He is an old man of the Lin family. He has been assisting me in management before. There is no problem." Lin Ping said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I asked you to come back this time because I have something for you to do."
"Young master, just give me your orders!" Lin Ping said with a smile.
Lin Xuan muttered: "I need you to go to Jiangnan to buy some tea gardens for me. It doesn't matter whether you can buy it elsewhere. The tea gardens on the edge of Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou must be bought. It doesn't matter if it's more expensive."
He remembered that West Lake Longjing was produced around Shifeng Mountain, but he didn't know where exactly.
It doesn't matter if you don't know, just buy them all, you are so willful when you have money.
"Sir, I'll go right away!" Lin Ping didn't dare to neglect what Lin Xuan told him, and was ready to do it immediately.
"What's the hurry!"
Lin Xuan stopped Lin Ping and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. We will go after the New Year. Then you can wait there for the first batch of tea leaves to be picked, dried and brought back to me."
Anyway, there are no tea leaves to pick now, so what’s the use of going there.
"Remember not to cut the tea leaves into pieces." Lin Xuan explained uneasily.
People in the Tang Dynasty drank tea and liked to boil it, but they also cut the tea leaves into pieces. He really couldn't stand it.
"Yes!" Lin Ping remembered what Lin Xuan told him in his heart.
"Okay, you've been working hard for so long. When you go to the accounting office to collect 20 yuan, just say it was me." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Ping quickly refused and said: "Sir, the salary you gave is already very high, I can't take this."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Take it if I tell you to. This is what I reward you for."
Seeing Lin Xuan's insistence, Lin Ping had no choice but to say, "Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
"Okay, you can go back!" Lin Xuan said.
Lin Ping bowed his hands and retreated.
Lin Xuan took the perfume and hesitated whether to ask Li Chengqian for help.
He was a little afraid that Li Chengqian would get involved with him. It was easy to talk to him before, but now Li Chengqian is considered his uncle and brother, and it is difficult to refuse.
"Lin Xuan, I'm here!"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. With such a loud voice, he knew it was Cheng Chumo without even thinking.
Cheng Chumo didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, he just opened the door and walked in.
Lin Xuan quickly hid the perfume and asked, "Why are you here?"
Cheng Chumo chuckled and said, "I'm here to thank you. My father told me that if you hadn't spoken for me, His Majesty wouldn't have given me such a good job."
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It's such a big deal, it's too foreign to say this."
Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "Of course I'm not here to thank you, I'm here to give you something good."
"Good stuff? What good stuff?" Lin Xuan asked doubtfully.
He just saw that Cheng Chumo came empty-handed.
Cheng Chumo said mysteriously: "Beef!"
"Beef? Did you kill the cow?" Lin Xuan was shocked.
As everyone knows, ancient productivity was created by cattle, so many dynasties did not allow the killing and eating of cattle.
Even if you die of old age or illness, you must register with the government, and the government will send someone to check before you can eat.
Lin Xuan likes to eat beef, but killing cows is illegal.
Tang law stipulates that anyone who kills an ox will be imprisoned for one year.
Cheng Chumo retorted: "Killing cows is against the law. Why would my family kill cows? Two cows didn't collide with each other and died together. The government has inspected it, so you can eat it with confidence."
Lin Xuan didn't believe Cheng Chumo's nonsense at all. One look at him and he knew that his family had done this a lot.
Lin Xuan estimated that Cheng Yaojin must have come up with such a clumsy method.
Cheng Yaojin said that the cow was killed by a run-in. Do those people in the government dare to say that it was not the case?
But this has nothing to do with him. He has been in Datang for a few months and has never eaten beef. Thinking about it makes his mouth water.
"Where's the beef?" Lin Xuan asked.
Cheng Chumo said: "When I come here, I will leave it to your servants."
"I'll go take a look!" Lin Xuan's thoughts went to the beef.
Cheng Chumo saw Lin Xuan running away and followed him.
…
"Sir, why are you here?" Wang Dayou saw Lin Xuan and hurriedly greeted him.
"Where is the beef that was just delivered?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Sir, we're in the kitchen. I'm thinking about cooking something for dinner tonight." Wang Dayou pointed to a large vat in the kitchen.
A large piece of beef was delivered to him in the front yard just now, but he was startled. Later, he was relieved when he found out that it was delivered by someone else.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he came here, otherwise it would be a waste to let Wang Dayou cook it.
Cheng Chumo brought over beef, which was beef tenderloin. Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
"I said you are too stingy, you just gave me two cows?" Lin Xuan estimated that the piece of meat weighed about several dozen kilograms, and said with some dissatisfaction.
One cow weighs several hundred kilograms, but two cows, minus some of the mess, weigh a thousand kilograms, and they share dozens of kilograms of meat.
Cheng Chumo said angrily: "This is too little for you. My family is not allowed to give gifts to other families during the Chinese New Year. My family doesn't have much left."
Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "Brother Chu Mo, this little bit of meat is too little. I think your cows should be able to kill a few in the next two days. I'll share some with you then."
Anyway, it wasn’t Cheng Yaojin’s first time doing it.
Cheng Chumo said angrily: "Don't even think about it. Something won't happen to my cows in a short time, otherwise His Majesty won't be able to explain it to you."
Cheng Yaojin also likes to eat beef, and he can always find some random reasons to kill one or two of them. This kind of thing will be over if Li Shimin turns a blind eye.
But he didn't dare to mess around. If a few more cows died in his family, Li Shimin would go crazy.
Lin Xuan said regretfully: "Then next time your cow dies, don't forget to give me some."
He doesn't have the courage of Cheng Yaojin. If he wants to eat beef, he has to rely on Cheng Yaojin.
"Don't worry, as long as a cow dies next time, you will definitely be indispensable." Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan put his arm around Cheng Chumo's shoulders and said, "Good brother, it's really fun. I'll make some beef for you to try."
"You want to do it yourself?" Cheng Chumo looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.
