Chapter Thirteen: Come Like Flowing Water and Gone Like Wind
"Dalang, that group of people is very arrogant. It seems that the visitors are not good. They can't come for our toothbrush trading, right?" Yasha was very smart.
Li Feng was still relatively stable and pointed at the dog who was shaking his head beside him: "It's okay, a barking dog will not bite people."
Since this dog ate a piece of flesh at Li Feng's house, it has completely become Li Feng's dog legs, and is more intimate than the big tiger and two tigers at home.
Yacha pursed his little mouth, and his small appearance was quite pleasing to the eye.
After entering the house, the person who came was standing in the yard, not even entering the house. Li Zhong stood beside him. When he saw Li Feng, he looked happy. Then he threw a wink and said, "My father is back."
"It's just the toothbrush you made by the Tian family. From now on, this deal will be my business." A proud voice rang out.
What a big tone! Li Feng glanced at the man. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. His chin was raised high and his fingers were pinching his sparse beard. He was wearing a very sexy yellow robe. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, people could also wear yellow, as long as they didn't wear that kind of ochre yellow.
"Who are you?" Li Feng asked faintly. This kind of person is a kind of bullying person at first glance. It's not worth worrying about.
The man didn't say anything, and a servant behind him shouted, "This is Shopkeeper Xue, and he has shops in both the east and west markets. Boy, Mr. Xue is interested in your business, and it is your blessing. The toothbrushes he made in the future will be sold by us. A bunch of mud legs will also run to Daxing City, not knowing that the sky is high and the earth is thick."
The old housekeeper next to him looked at Li Feng with a worried look, and at the same time, he felt a little sad: Can a rich slave be bullied?
Li Feng had no joy or anger on his face: "How to divide the accounts?"
The shopkeeper Xue chuckled: "Forget it for you 10%. Don't think that the east and west markets are so easy to mess around. Believe it or not, I will touch my fingers, you can't even get out of this village."
"I wonder, who is your master?" Li Feng decided not to talk nonsense to such people. They are just trying to seize the robbery, not a way to negotiate business.
Manager Xue's eyes narrowed: "You, a child in the Tian family, still have some knowledge. My master, now the sage clan, is the Sili doctor of the current dynasty, Mr. Xue. I'm sorry, I'm afraid you have never heard of the name of my master. Even the current saints in the Daxing Palace often ask my master for poetry."
Is Xue Sili? Li Feng recalled in his mind: "But Mr. Xue Daoheng of 'Empty Rail Falls Yan Mud'?"
Xue Daoheng was one of the most famous poets in the Sui Dynasty. The reason why he was said was because Yang Guang was dissatisfied. Yes, Yang Guang was also quite talented in poetry. He was known as the most outstanding poet in the Sui Dynasty.
Li Feng remembers an allusion that when Yang Guang was still King of Jin, he wrote poems with a group of literati, and the rhymes were pressed by the word "mud". Xue Daoheng wrote a masterpiece, the most famous sentence of which was "the empty beam fell on the swallows". Yang Guang thought about it again and again, but he realized that he could not compare with it.
Later, Xue Daoheng was convicted of his words and was executed by Yang Guang. Before the execution, Yang Guang pointed at the person and said, "Can it be better to make 'empty beams and fallen swallows mud'?"
Your head is gone, can you still write a good poem like the empty beam and the fallen Yan Ni?
Li Feng was really speechless: Yang Guang, do you say you are doing something human beings do!
It seems that if Li Feng was killed by him one day, Yang Guang would point at the nose and say: Can you keep your loyalty and shine in history?
Just as he was in a daze, he heard a loud shout: "Ignorance child dares to talk about the name of my master easily-"
Stop, Li Feng interrupted Manager Xue: "Do you know who I am?"
Who are you? "Tianshelang!"
Li Feng said lightly: "My name is Li Feng, and he also has a poem. Since ancient times, no one has died, so he will leave his loyalty to shine in history."
"You, are you Li Danxin?!" The expression on Manager Xue's face was very wonderful. From being proud to shock to fear, he actually pulled off his beloved beard and grinned in pain.
Although this person is young, he doesn't even want to be appointed by the emperor. Not to mention Lord Xue, he can't even get on the table. Manager Xue felt a little bitter: Before coming here, he should have a look.
Li Feng still said slowly: "I heard that Mr. Xue has a long time ago, and I am just about to ask for advice in person. Manager Xue is here just so I recommend him."
When he heard this, Shopkeeper Xue was suddenly panicked. The young man was really qualified to talk about poetry with his master. He went to the mansion to deliver things. He also heard the master recite these two lines of poetry in the study. What should I do now?
The key problem is that this matter was completely his own decision and he pulled the big flag. If the master knew that he was destroying Qingming outside, he would not kill him?
The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more afraid. Manager Xue bowed repeatedly: "It turned out to be Li Dalang. The villain is blind, so I hope Dalang will forgive me."
Li Feng didn't want to talk too much with him, a servant, and waved his hand: "Shopkeeper Xue, come on, we won't cooperate with people like you."
Manager Xue was not at ease and was considering whether to kowtow to the young man and beg for mercy. Then Li Zhong beside him snorted coldly: "Shopkeeper Xue, please. Don't worry, my Dalang will not care about you, just act like a dog and let you go."
Although this was unpleasant, Manager Xue was overjoyed and bowed his hand while leading the person out. When he reached the door, he was tripped and left in a panic.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Little Nunu poked out his little head from the room and began to praise his brother every day again.
Li Feng was about to hold him and kiss him, and responded to his daily pampering girl, but someone knocked on the door outside: "This is Li Dalang's mansion. I'm here to come here to visit him and be rude. I hope to forgive my crime."
The visitor is coming again. It seems that the small toothbrush has caused quite a response.
However, when I heard that I was quite polite, Li Feng said loudly: "You will be a guest when you come to the door. Please come in."
When he saw that a Persian Hu man wearing a small round hat came in at the door, Li Feng was also stunned: It was just a small toothbrush, why did he attract Hu Shang?
"Young man, Mu Guiying is polite." Hu Shang's words and deeds were no different from those of the Sui people. His fat face was always filled with a smile, and he looked quite festive.
That’s right, what the hell is your name? Mu Guiying and Yang Zongbao!
I think it was the Chinese name given by this Hu man himself, and the surname Mu should not be taken casually.
So, the visitor was given to the house. There was no tea cake at home and could not cook tea, so there was only Yasha who brought white water to entertain the guests. This Mu Guiying was quite polite. She first presented a pair of gift boxes and then took out a toothbrush and a bag of tooth powder: "Little Langjun, I want to manage this thing, but I hope you can fulfill it."
Almost everyone can imitate toothbrushes, so the key is this toothbrush. After all, it has a little technical content, so this one should be what Hu Shang valued.
Li Feng pondered for a while and felt that it was necessary to find an agent. After all, Longquan Village is full of poor farmers and is not good at managing. Besides, more and more things will be produced in the future. It would be too troublesome to sell them by yourself.
So he nodded: "Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu, you can talk to my housekeeper Grandpa Zhong later on about this business. As long as you benefit and benefit, why not?"
Mutual benefit? After thinking about it, Mu Guiying understood the meaning of this word. His fat face immediately smiled: "Young man is indeed a talented man. With a word of mutual benefit, he reveals the true meaning of buying and selling. I admire him."
Before coming here, Mu Guiying had found out clearly. The boy in front of him was absolutely extraordinary.
Li Feng was not happy to hear his flattery, so he asked about the exotic customs in Persia. At the beginning, Mu Guiying was talking, but he soon discovered that this young man knew very well about their country's climate, geography, products, and human feelings, as if he had experienced it himself.
For example, many people now regard them as Arabs. In fact, Persia specifically refers to later generations of Iran.
Li Feng is familiar with history. Of course he knows that there are many things in China, which were introduced by Persians from West Asia. There are vegetables, such as spinach (you can understand the word pineapple), onions, etc.; there are also fruits, such as watermelon, figs, etc.; there are also spices, such as cumin, which is essential for barbecue, etc.; there are also precious herbs. For example, the two most commonly used medicinal materials such as frankincense and myrrhosis medicines.
For Li Feng, that distant place is also a treasure house. If he could transport the seeds or medicinal materials of these good things through this Hu merchant, he would make a lot of money.
As the conversation rose, Li Feng stood up, put one hand behind him, and slowly raised his hand towards the west, expressing the secluded feelings of missing the past, and chanting in a strange tone.
It's all about it. When Li Feng was in college, there was a language school opposite him. He pursued a senior sister. This senior sister learned Persian, and he also learned half-heartedly. The focus was on learning some ancient Persian poetry, of course, to sing for his senior sister. As he sang, the senior sister became a masterpiece after graduation.
Today, in order to impress the Hu Shang Mu Guiying, Li Feng took the initiative to expose himself, and in Persian language, he recited a four-line poem by the famous Persian poet Omo Gayamo:
Floating into the world, like water that has to flow,
Somehow, and nowhere did they come from;
Floating out of the world, like the wind has to blow,
The wind blows through the desert, but I don’t know where it blows?
Is it a bit familiar? That's right. After reading the story of Jin Dada's Heaven and Dragon Saber, I must remember that Xiao Zhao often recites the poem "He comes like flowing water and passes like the wind, I don't know where to come and where to end." It's actually this poem. However, Jin Dada wrote Emo.
When Mu Guiying heard this familiar mother tongue and this beautiful four-line poem, he was immersed in the ethereal and desolate artistic conception in the poem and could not extricate himself.
Unexpectedly, there was such a strange person in the Great Sui Dynasty! Unconsciously, he bowed to the back of the boy. At this moment, he felt that the boy's slightly thin back was as majestic as a mountain-
