The Great Elder left Luo Mansion lonely. This time he came to Luo Mansion with great hopes, but when he left, he came back disappointed.
In the final analysis, the fault for this matter lies with him. If he hadn't been greedy, even if Luo Zhang refused, there would still be room for redemption. Now not only has he failed to accomplish the matter, but he has also offended Luo Zhang. More importantly, , Sun Simiao bluntly rejected him, which was equivalent to blocking the door and not even letting him in. What to do.
After returning to the Changsun Mansion, the housekeeper came up and asked: "Great Elder, how are things going here? Did Luo Zhang directly agree? Four mines are a lot, and that kid is really cheap!"
"Four seats? I gave five seats, but no one was willing!" the great elder said angrily.
"What? You don't agree with five of them? Isn't Luo Zhang too greedy? There are five mines. Each mine is worth one million. Five mines are five million taels of silver. Ah! How many does he want? Eight out of ten?" the housekeeper said angrily.
"It would be great if he really wanted eight out of ten seats. He wouldn't want them at all, let alone come to help!" the great elder said angrily.
"We have signed a contract, how can he not be afraid that we will sue him?" the steward said fiercely.
It's okay not to mention the contract, but the great elder was furious when he mentioned the contract. He looked at the housekeeper with an evil look and said: "Contract? Can the contract bind Luo Zhang? He doesn't want the mine anymore, what can you do to him? What?"
"This..." The housekeeper was also a little confused by the elder's words. Yes, they don't want the mine anymore, and they won't treat it for you. What can you do to them? Could it be that you don’t want it, you have to, and if you want the mine, you have to treat me?
If you tell me this, I'm afraid it will make other people laugh, and you will be despised by others. Whoever spoils you and makes people have to do it, don't be funny.
Seeing that the housekeeper stopped talking, the elder felt better. Taking a deep breath, the elder frowned and thought about how to solve the matter. He did not expect that such an incident would happen when he went to Luofu today. He had already planned it. Yes, they just gave Luo Zhang four mines and asked Sun Simiao to take action once, but in the end, the mines could not be sent out, and even adding five mines was useless, which made him speechless.
Now he communicates with Sun Simiao privately and offends Luo Zhang. This matter is really difficult to solve.
"First Elder, it's no good, no, no, our pig iron shop was smashed, and they said that what we sell is fake!" A servant stumbled in and said.
"What? Who is so bold and dares to smash our pig iron shop? Didn't you pay those people, why are there still people making trouble?" The elder said angrily, patting the armrest of the seat.
"No, a lot of people came again, and they came to the door with the same pig iron as before. The store didn't have that much money to compensate them, so they smashed the store!" the servant hurriedly explained.
"Another person is coming? Bringing a lot of pig iron from before? These... these beasts, do they really have to force my eldest son's family to the point of desperation before they give up?" the elder said angrily. Obviously, these things are those The big family is stirring up trouble in order to destroy the eldest son's family's business, force the eldest grandson's family, and ultimately bring about the downfall of the eldest grandson's family, ending miserably.
The reason why these big families took action again was probably related to the fact that his trip to Luofu did not go smoothly. Obviously, the people of these big families knew that Luo Zhang did not help their eldest son's family, and Sun Simiao would not give eldest son Wu any help. Ji cures diseases, which makes those big families feel confident. As long as Changsun Wuji lies awake, the Changsun family has nothing to fear. A great elder is of no use, so they will not be afraid of a great elder who does not have any title or official position. .
"Great Elder, calm down. This is not the time to get angry. We should find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible!" the housekeeper advised from the side.
"How to solve it? Luo Zhang ignored me at all, and Sun Simiao refused to help treat the family leader. How do you solve it? Do you mean to ask the doctors in the family to perform surgery on me? They said they are 30% sure, do you believe it? I I think it's good to be 10% sure. If the Patriarch is rescued, we will lose all hope. We might as well let the Patriarch lie down like this and wait for him to wake up before we can make further plans!" the elder said angrily.
"But... but the family owner has been lying like this, waiting for him to wake up, is the family... still useful?" Although the housekeeper did not say it clearly, the meaning of his words was obvious, that is, waiting for the family owner to wake up , the family is also ruined, can they still plan for the long term and make a comeback?
"Forget it, stop talking. I'll go to Luofu again tomorrow. If the five mines don't work, I'll add more. I don't believe Luo Zhang won't be tempted. As long as he is tempted, he can help us persuade Sun Simiao. Look. He has an unusual relationship with Sun Simiao, and he will definitely be able to persuade us successfully. When the time comes, Sun Simiao will help us save the family leader!" The elder said after pondering.
"This... what if Luo Zhangshishi opens his mouth? If he wants ten mines, we will give him ten?" the housekeeper said worriedly.
"Things have to be discussed slowly. We must make Luo Zhang agree this time. If he really wants ten mines, give them to him! Ten mines are exchanged for the foundation of the Changsun family. Which one do you think is more important?" The elder analyzed.
"This... naturally the foundation of the Changsun family is important. Ten mines are ten mines!!!" The steward said through gritted teeth. Naturally, he felt very aggrieved. He had been the steward of the Changsun family for so many years. , I have never been so frustrated, but when the situation is pressing, I have to bow my head. Now I can only do this. All I have to do is wait for the owner of the family to wake up and find the place again. These ten mines are not so easy to get.
Luo Mansion, Luo Zhang took out the barbecue grill that he had not used for a long time, placed it in Sun Simiao's yard, lit a fire, took out the mutton skewers threaded with iron, and started grilling them directly.
Although he hasn't grilled mutton skewers for a long time, Luo Zhang's skills have not fallen off at all. This kind of thing is deep in his bones. He was grilling mutton skewers in his last life. He still hasn't escaped from the barbecue industry in this life. It's just that with his status, With the improvement, Luo Zhang no longer bakes much, but he has not lost his skills.
As the unique aroma of mutton skewers spread, Sun Simiao's eyes lit up.
It's not that he has never had barbecue before. He often grills things in the mountains, but his barbecue is inferior to Luo Zhang's. They are not on the same level at all. Look at Luo Zhang's elegant techniques and picturesque style. The grilling technique is simply a pleasure.
Sprinkle salt, cumin, and pepper continuously, and then brush with a layer of oil. The rich flavor is even more mouth-watering. Sun Simiao can't wait to grab the mutton skewers from Luo Zhang BBQ right now.
But he still held back. It wasn't done yet. It would be bad if he snatched it away. Anyway, Luo Zhang baked it for him, and he couldn't run away. He would still eat it when it was done. Thinking of this, Sun Simiao couldn't bear it. Stay and wait quietly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to grill the mutton skewers. After a while, a handful of mutton skewers were cooked and Luo Zhang handed them to Sun Simiao.
Taking a handful of mutton skewers, Sun Simiao sniffed it. It was fragrant. It was so fragrant.
At this time, Luo Zhang took out a gourd from the side and handed it to Sun Simiao and said: "How can you eat barbecue without drinking wine? Come on, Grandpa Sun, this is good wine. Try it and make sure you have never drunk it!"
"Oh? And good wine? How does it compare with the wine you gave me in the mountains?" Sun Simiao asked as he took the gourd.
"Each one has his own merits. This kind of wine is much stronger than that one, so you have to be more relaxed when drinking it!" Luo Zhang reminded.
The gourd was filled with Erguotou. Its alcohol content was much higher than that of Maotai, so it was naturally stronger. I gave Sun Simiao this wine just to let him taste it, so I didn’t give him more, just one gourd, and drank it all. Change the wine again.
When Sun Simiao heard this, his eyes became even brighter. Is it stronger than the wine he drank in the mountains?
The best wine he had ever drunk in his life was the drink Luo Zhang gave him deep in the mountains. What was it called? Maotai.
It’s not like he has never tasted good wine as he travels all over the country, but this is the first time he drinks such a strong wine. Other wines in Datang are not comparable to it, and even Sanlejiang is not comparable!
Today, Luo Zhang told him that there was a stronger wine than Maotai. How could he not be surprised? Looking at the gourd in his hand, Sun Simiao couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He raised the gourd and raised his neck to take a sip.
