Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Young and Passionate

Before meeting Li Tong, Zhang Xingyi thought that as Li Mu's younger brother, he must be so bad. He never thought about seeing a real person, but he looked so cautious and shy, so he underestimated him.

Seeing his look of losing his composure because of seeing him again, Zhang Xingyi frowned slightly, and looked down on him again: This Li Langjun looks no different from those sons and gentlemen in Jincheng.

It is really unexpected that Li Muna and other outstanding women have such a younger brother.

Li Tong grew up under Li Mu's shadow since he was a child. After being beaten and scolded for a long time, he is naturally more sensitive than others.

Now he keenly sensed Zhang Xingyi's displeasure, and quickly lowered his head again, "Go back to Mrs. Zhang, and I came here this time to deliver something to her."

"Send things?"

Zhang Xingyi asked a little strangely, "Why?"

These days, almost everyone who comes to the door will give him something, but it is all because he wants to make a relationship with the heartbroken man through himself.

But this Li Tong is Li Mu's younger brother. The Zhuangzi of the Li family in Jincheng is still next to Fengzhuang. I heard that there are still many exchanges between the two families. Did the guy send a message?

"The Li family has received a lot of favors from Feng Langjun, especially our sister and brother, who have been greatly favored by Feng Langjun, and have never been able to repay them. Therefore, like this time, I just express my gratitude."

Li Tong carefully thought that he was saying good things, but he didn't expect to make Zhang Xingyi furious all of a sudden: What a jerk! He is him, I am me, if you want to thank him, thank him, what does it mean to thank me!

Recalling the attitude of Li Qiu, the magistrate of Nanxiang County, towards him, Zhang Xingyi couldn't help feeling deeply suspicious. Could it be that everyone in Nanxiang misunderstood his relationship with him?

Thinking of this, the little lady of the Zhang family couldn't help laughing out of anger, "I don't know what Li Langjun wants to give?"

At the same time, she was thinking in her heart, if you can't come up with something good, see how I can save you!

"Miss Zhang, please take a look."

Li Tong took out the small jar that he had prepared earlier.

Zhang Xingyi motioned to the maid beside her to bring it over.

The maid took the small jar from Li Tong, opened it and handed it to Zhang Xingyi's desk.

Zhang Xingyi only felt a sweet aroma coming out of her nostrils. She looked into the jar and saw that there seemed to be thick liquid inside.

"This...is this honey water?"

Zhang Xingyi looked at Li Tong in surprise.

"Return to my little lady, that's right."

Li Tong replied respectfully.

is actually honey.

"It's such a rare thing!"

Zhang Xingyi was born in a wealthy and powerful family, and she is also the queen's younger sister. She sees many rare things.

But the honey water produced by bees, she has only tasted it two or three times, and it is also a treasure that was searched from the treasury when the first emperor Xinding Shu land, when he was enfeoffing his ministers.

In the past few years, I haven't seen him again.

From this, one can imagine the preciousness of honey water.

I heard that although honey water was not common a few decades ago, it can be found occasionally in the rich and powerful.

It's just that in the past few decades, the world has been in chaos, and even eating has become a problem. In addition, the big man has advocated thrift these years, so this honey water has disappeared.

I didn't expect Li Tong to have such a can in his hand. It is very valuable. If such a small can is sold, it can be exchanged for three to five hundred coins at least.

"Back to my little lady, it is honey water. I heard that the ice cream was first made by Feng Langjun and given to the little lady. I tried it together. If I mix some honey water in that ice cream, it will taste much better."

When Zhang Xingyi heard that Li Tong kept saying "Feng Langjun" like everyone else, he felt impatient, but when he heard Li Tong talking about this ice cream, he was startled.

Isn't it? Back then, that person often made ice cream and delivered it to his house.

Recalling how kind he was to her in the past, Zhang Xingyi's heart suddenly became sour and sweet, feeling a little at a loss.

"How did you... find such a rare thing?"

Zhang Xingyi didn't want to show her sadness in front of outsiders, so she restrained her thoughts and asked.

"My little lady, this is produced by my own bees."

"You raised it yourself? Bees?!" Zhang Xingyi lost his voice, "You know Jiang Qi's art?"

Jiang Qi is also a person of the late Han Dynasty, a hermit who lives in livestock bees and hogs.

Li Tong nodded and explained, "Jiang Qi was originally from Shangyu. He lived in seclusion and taught others the art of raising bees. Because Hanzhong is not far from Shangyu, his art was also spread to Hanzhong."

"Although the technique has been lost for a long time now, there have always been rumors about him in Sichuan. According to the rumors, I also observed the bees carefully and found that they like to build nests in tree trunks and other places, so I tried to cut down the trunk of the beehive and move it to the eaves under."

"There were more than ten times during the period, but only one succeeded, so this jar of honey was produced by that hive of bees."

As Li Tong said, he still felt a little distressed.

Such a little honey water, but I have worked hard for a whole year, just like raising geese, the record alone is enough to have a thick book.

During this period, I didn't know how many times I was stung, and the pain and tiredness involved in it were really inadequate and outsider's understanding.

Although this time I only scraped the honey water on the honeycomb and did not wring out the honey water inside, but it has already affected the nest of bees.

But in order to keep his hard work, he had to do this again.

Fortunately, it is now spring, and the vegetation has begun to bloom, so there is no need to worry about the bees starving to death.

After hearing Li Tong's words, Zhang Xingyi finally looked at him differently in his heart: I didn't expect that he not only had such thoughts, but also seriously cultivated them?

Sure enough, is it worthy of being Mu Niangzi's younger brother?

"So that's the case, Li Langjun's ingenuity is really rare."

Zhang Xingyi said something sincerely.

In the past few years, Li Tong has been under the watchful eye of Li Mu. If something goes wrong, he beats or scolds, and even his servants are ordered by Li Mu to be careful about their husband.

Li Tong also knows that in the eyes of his sister, he is really like a waste. He can't do anything and will only make her worry. For her, it is the best result for her to be able to settle down.

After experiencing the incident of being captured by the barbarians and almost becoming rations, Li Tong finally admitted one thing: Compared with his sister who only came to Hanzhong for more than a year and gained the reputation of "Nanxiang Mu Niangzi", he used to be What a waste.

That's why I am willing to admit my mistakes to my sister, and at the same time I want to work hard to prove myself.

It's a pity that sister has always looked at him with old eyes. In the past two years, her hard work has never been ignored by her.

If you say you don't feel aggrieved, it's a lie.

Now that Zhang Xingyi praised him, Li Tong was actually moved: finally someone recognized him!

"Miss Zhang is over-rewarded."

Li Tong said humbly, but he couldn't restrain the joy on his face, "I have other things to dedicate to the little lady."

"Oh, what else?"

Zhang Xingyi asked curiously.

"Look, little lady, this is a goose egg."

Li Tong took out a goose egg the size of a small fist from the basket he brought over, "Feng Langjun's technique of wishing chickens only raised chickens and ducks, but he didn't mention geese."

"So Tong also tried to raise geese, and found that although this goose does not lay many eggs, it is better to raise. It only eats a little bran and likes to eat weeds, but it does not take up food. If it is carefully raised, it will grow fast. A lot of meat is one of the benefits of raising geese."

"Miss Zhang, my sister gave me a down jacket that came out of Jincheng last year. I found that although the duck down used in it has been deodorized, if you smell it carefully, you can still smell a faint fishy smell."

"This goose down is different. Goose down has a light taste and almost none, but its down pieces are much larger than duck down. The goose is big and produces more down. This is the second advantage of raising geese."

"Also, as Miss Zhang knows, there is a kind of pen in Nanxiang, called charcoal pen, which writes extremely fast. It is convenient to use it for writing in informal documents. But there is one disadvantage, that is, ink stains tend to disappear."

"So inspired by this charcoal pen, writing with goose feather dipped in ink is not only fast, but also the ink can be preserved for a long time. It has the advantages of both. This is the benefit of raising geese."

Zhang Xingyi's eyes widened. Hearing what Li Tong had said, she could only sum up one sentence: Raising geese is great!

It's just that Zhang Xingyi is not a three-year-old child, so how could anyone believe what others say?

So she asked, "It sounds like it's a good thing to raise more geese, but Li Langjun said this to me, why?"

Everyone who comes to Nanxiang will deeply feel the power of Li Mu in Nanxiang.

Zhang Xingyi is no exception.

This Li Tong is Li Mu's younger brother, and he also knows the benefits of raising geese. As the owner of the workshop, Li Mu should give his full support.

You should tell Li Mu about this kind of thing, what does it mean to tell yourself?

When Li Tong heard Zhang Xingyi's question, he felt a little confused, "Miss Zhang doesn't know that the Li family's Zhuangzi in Nanxiang all provide food and vegetables for the workshop and ranch."

"Besides, that elder sister of mine is only concerned with the affairs of the workshop, and she was given the art of wishing a rooster earlier by Feng Langjun, so she let me practice it wholeheartedly."

"She was afraid that I would delay running the manor because of raising geese, so she controlled me and prevented me from paying more attention to the matter of raising geese."

Although Li Tong didn't understand what he said, Zhang Xingyi understood.

It's just that Li Tong talked about this kind of thing when he met her for the first time, which made her feel a little weird.

Li Tong naturally knew that he was too impatient, but the opportunity was only one time, if he failed to persuade the young lady of the Zhang family this time, it would be a question of whether he would have the chance to meet the young lady next time.

If I let my sister know that he still doesn't give up and wants to continue to try to raise geese and bees, and I don't do what she wants, I'm afraid that all the geese and bees will be killed.

In my sister's eyes, the workshop is the most important thing. The Li family's Zhuangzi in Nanxiang, according to Feng Langjun's wishes, is the right way to concentrate on growing vegetables and use the technique of wishing chickens and ducks to supply the workshop. .

This large number of geese is raised, and I have no experience. Who knows if it can be done?

If it fails and ruins Feng Langjun's business, it will be a catastrophe for the Li family.

But how could Li Tong be willing to let his hard work go to waste?

More importantly, every time he passed by the field and saw Xu Erniang busy in the field, Li Tong felt ashamed like a knife.

At the beginning, I looked down on the work in this field, but looking at Er Niang, now she has gained a lot of fame in the workshop.

Only myself, nothing can be achieved.

Recalling that I had vowed to be successful at the beginning, to make my elder sister and second mother look at me differently, I didn't know that the reality actually slapped me several times, and the two women I valued most in my heart actually crushed my head. Can you not be ashamed?

Besides, my elder sister and the family now have a lot of restrictions on me. If I act according to my elder sister's wishes, even if I will be promising in the future, in the eyes of others, I will only gain my elder sister's glory.

Now if you want to prove yourself, you can only go out of your own way under the existing conditions.

Raising geese and bees is a way that Li Tong has finally explored in the past two years.

So why is he willing to give up so easily?

Anyway, Er Niang likes to work in the fields. I raise geese and bees, so I am not ashamed in front of her.

To put it bluntly, I am still young Muai, passionate, and want to work hard-it is best to be able to be with the one I love while working hard.

I saw Li Tong bit the bullet and said to Zhang Xingyi, "Miss Zhang, this honey water is a treasure, and raising geese is also very beneficial, so I was thinking, can I ask my lady to pass on a message to Feng Langjun?" If so, allow me to try it in Nanxiang?"

In Li Tong's view, he had offended Feng Yong before, so Feng Yong must not like him.

If you ask to come to the door by yourself, let alone whether you can persuade Feng Yong to agree, whether you can meet people is still a problem. The most likely thing is to ask yourself to humiliate yourself.

But it would be different for Mrs. Zhang.

Didn't Lord Mengchang escape the danger by bribing King Qin Zhao's concubine with a white fur coat?

Feng Langjun wrote an article specifically for Miss Zhang, praising her for her beauty, and I think he loves her very much. I asked Miss Zhang to talk about it, and the reason is similar.

When Zhang Xingyi heard the words "Feng Langjun", he suddenly came to his senses. It turned out that it was because of him!

At the same time, anger was bursting in my heart, and I was about to refuse, but when I saw the honey water on the case, I rolled my eyes twice, and suddenly came up with an idea.

"Li Langjun wanted to raise bees and geese in Nanxiang, because Mrs. Mu refused to allow it, and he couldn't find Feng Langjun, so he came to me?"

"Exactly."

After experiencing setbacks, Li Tong finally understood the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and at the same time, his face became thicker.

This "exactly", although the skin was a little hot when he said it, he could say it without hindrance.

"Why do you need to ask Feng Langjun about such a small matter, I can make the decision. How about this, the Zhang family has many Zhuangzi in Nanxiang. If you are interested, I can designate a Zhuangzi for you so that you can concentrate on raising bees Raising geese, what do you think?"

Although Zhang Xingyi never had to pay for the sweaters and down jackets she wore, this did not prevent her from knowing how expensive these things were.

If the goose feather is really as Li Tong said, with large yield, large fluff, and no peculiar smell, then it is really much better than duck feather.

Even if others really want to make down jackets, they may not be able to make them because they don't have duck down jackets. Even if they do, they may be suppressed by the Xinghan Club.

But who is she? Is she afraid?

If anyone dared to trouble her, she would dare to trouble that heartbroken man!

Li Tong was really surprised and happy when he heard that, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"I don't dare to be like Miss Zhang, I can find a place to try on my own, and I have to agree with my sister..."

"Don't worry, I'll go and talk to Miss Mu about this in person."

Zhang Xingyi packed the tickets.

"Thank you, Miss Zhang!"

Li Tong hurriedly stood up, saluted and thanked excitedly. Finally, someone was willing to support him.

At this time, looking at Miss Zhang sitting on top, I really think she is like a fairy.

Zhang Xingyi had other things to worry about, so he sent someone to send Li Tong away, prepared a name card, and sent it to Li Mu.

Li Mu didn't dare to neglect when he received the name card, and he didn't wait for Zhang Xingyi to come to his door. He directly took people to the small courtyard where Zhang Xingyi lived.

Zhang Xingyi naturally did not expect that the famous Mu Niangzi would come to the door as soon as she received her post, and it was a big surprise right away.

Seeing her respectful attitude of responding to requests again, I was even more surprised.

"If Mrs. Zhang wants to let my concubine's useless younger brother help the bees and geese, then there is no problem. But do you want to ask Feng Langjun about this matter?"

After learning about Zhang Xingyi's thoughts, Li Mu reminded her.

"Why do you want to ask what he means?"

Zhang Xingyi now feels annoyed when he hears these three words, "Aren't you his sister?"

As soon as the words came out, she saw Li Mu cast a strange look, and then she woke up suddenly, and she could only say, "Okay, I know, I will write to him about it when the time comes."

At the same time, he gritted his teeth secretly, this person is very annoying, he is everywhere, everywhere!
