A sword is bought with a thousand gold coins, but I have never promised anyone in my life. I have been farewell for you thousands of miles away and I have given you a gift to make friends. The lonely pine should be in my old age, and the trees love the spring. What will happen if I have gone? I will never let my white hair be fresh.

-- Chen Zi'ang's "Sending the King of Donglai to the Bachelor of the Year without Competition"

Mr. Gui got up early, but it was still late when he arrived at "Taotie" - the house was full inside and outside, but there were still many people holding fried dough sticks in one hand and porridge in the other hand, sucking happily... Mr. Gui smiled slightly and stood in the distance and looked at Sanfan who was concentrating on his busyness not far away.

Sanfan used both the same purpose. He carried the dough on his shoulders when frying fried dough sticks - spread the dough with his left hand, and pulled and threw it, and the dough obediently became a single in the air; then he flew obediently to the oil pan, and the oil in the better position, and he could hire a Chinese diving athlete. The oil only splashed gently but did not leave the range of the pot. The side had turned slightly yellow, and the other side flew in again... Sanfan's right hand was not idle, holding a pair of long bamboo chopsticks in his hand, fiddling the dough sticks, looking at it gradually turned golden, fishing out, and neatly in the basket next to him.

The diners of "Taotie" do not need to greet you. They consciously wait in line, buy food, and find seats, and everything seems orderly. And the people in the breakfast shop rarely greet and greet the customers, but everyone smiled and enjoyed the fresh morning in their diet...

Seeing the rising sun slowly rising, the first wave of passenger flow of "Taotie" finally passed. The masters from the restaurant also came together, and two of them immediately began to take over the work of Sanfan and others.

Mr. Gui saw that there was an empty seat inside, so he went up to buy a bowl of porridge and two thick fried dough sticks. He sat down at Sanfan's resting place without picking. He took a bite of the fried dough sticks, and Mr. Gui felt that the crispy skin was soft and chewy, and the salty smell made people couldn't help but eat it... After finishing the porridge, he took out a silk parfait and wiped his mouth with an unsatisfactory look, looking up at the abortion inside and outside the shop, and suddenly asked Sanfan who was resting with a smile: "Brother, are you the master of the food shop?"

Sanfan smiled at the sister Lu Yinzhu who was about to return to the back wing to pack up and nodded, signaling them to go back first. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with this guy?" Sanfan was stunned when he saw this person's face, as if he had remembered something, "It seems... it was yesterday..."

Mr. Gui nodded with a smile: "I am here in Guiyu, a jewelry business. I happened to pass by here today. Seeing that your store's business is so prosperous and bustling, it really makes me jealous!"

Sanfan laughed: "Brother Gui is joking! Food is the most important thing for the people, and the business of the food shop is always related to people's livelihood. Moreover, my store is quite famous in Beijing... However, Brother Gui is a big business, and my ox-haired drizzle cannot be compared with it. The profit of jewelry is more than a hundred times, but it is not something that my small shop can match..."

Mr. Gui showed a hint of satisfaction on his face. Sanfan saw it and just smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Gui coughed lightly and said with a smile: "There is no unnecessary potential to make profits in jewelry recently, but I still have a lot of money in my hands - I think this store is a good guy. You should know that the merchant is afraid that there is no living money in his hands that can make a living money, and that too much money is pressed on his hands and turns into dead money - the merchant is hurting after a little income!"

"Oh? Then what do you mean?" Sanfan asked with interest.

Gui Yu put away his smile and said righteously: "I am very optimistic about this food shop...so, I think everyone can make a fortune together!"

Sanfan on the opposite side smiled slightly and asked without saying a word: "Brother Gui has made enough profits of 100 times, and he will also like such small profits?"

Gui Yu shook his head disapprovingly and said with a smile: "Brother, why should you belittle yourself? I think the value of this food shop will be more prosperous with time and careful management..."

Sanfan looked at him with a smile, and saw that the number of passenger flows in the second batch gradually increased. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't have the final say in this store. I'll call you to continue the conversation later... Now I'll ask you to sit in the back of the station for a while, okay?"

Gui Yu listened to Sanfan's tone, his face relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Dare you not obeying your order?"

Sanfan stood up and gave in, and placed his residence in the west wing room of Guiyu's back wing, and smiled: "I'm simple, don't blame me!" As he said that, Sanfan hurriedly gave up his seat to Guiyu and cooked tea...

The water vapor in the teapot was steaming, and the tea fragrance slowly emanated, but Gui Yu's brow frowned slightly. Sanfan saw it and didn't say anything... And Gui Yu was just talking and laughing, looking at others, waiting for the arrival of another person.

Sanfan knew Liu Xi's "habits" well. He would not get up easily until the sun was almost at midnight, so he simply started chatting with Gui Yu. Sanfan has really traveled to many places in the past two years and is also a senior "donkey guest" of the Great Xia Dynasty. However, after a few words, he found that his understanding of the mountains and geography of Daxia was even more difficult to match with the kindness of the gentleman in front of him. In Sanfan's eyes, this gentleman was no longer a jewelry merchant who traveled around the world. Not only was he familiar with all the important traffic roads. Even a slightly larger county, as long as Sanfan mentioned it, the other party told him. After listening to it, Sanfan thought it carefully, he was very involved, and he was as if he had seen it himself...

Sanfan couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Gui is considered a talent for being a businessman..."

Sanfan said this, but he didn't know that his weight in the other party's eyes had also increased sharply. Although Gui Yu had known that Sanfan had become famous in the capital after less than a month of creation. Later, after competing with the "Sanwei Food Mansion", he was faintly the leader of the chefs in the world. However, he had never seen him, but he didn't know that his demeanor was so unfathomable. Every time he said something, this person often started from what ordinary people expected, then entered the incisive way, slowly analyzed it thoroughly, and completely displayed the background of every thing in front of you like peeling off a thread... Gui Yu secretly admired him and said to himself: "It's not like this when you see the small things, right?"

Hearing Sanfan's praise, he felt a little happy, but he was not exposed, and sighed: "People often say that you can learn civil and martial arts and sell goods to the imperial family. But looking at the general trend of the world, Daxia is old, and the way to become an official is just to be buried with him..."

When Sanfan heard this, he smiled faintly - Guiyu was obsessed with Sanfan's knowledge at this time, so he naturally took out some things that he felt distressed in the world and asked tentatively. Although what he said at this time was a rebellious against the emperor, since several disasters, refugees riots, and the powerful foreign races on the frontier repeatedly attacked the border, such remarks have long disappeared, and the officials naturally turned a blind eye...

Sanfan knew his intention, looked at Guiyu calmly and said slowly: "The chaos is coming!"

Gui Yu was shocked - although he saw the old situation of Daxia, he could never expose it like Sanfan... Sanfan saw Gui Yu's face darkened and said with a smile: "My brother is so elegant, he should be a well-read person. I must have some knowledge of history, right?" Seeing Gui Yu nodding absent-mindedly, he continued, "Then what did you see in it?"

Gui Yu pondered for a while: "Contribute the family and govern the country and pacify the world!"

Sanfan laughed: "Brother Gui is a Confucian..." His expression tightened slightly, "But I saw the rise and fall..."

Seeing Gui Yu's stunned look, he continued to explain: "Your thought is the most orthodox thought in thousands of years, but only the word "Ren"; but what I see is only the word "wisdom". We can't say who is right or wrong, we can only say "people are different, and wise are wise". But there is also an interesting answer - saying that history is a bitch, whoever wants to get it! But I said, maybe who is a bitch - when time has tormented a person, we treat him as a bitch..."

"'The reason why wise people are wise is to judge the situation.' Throughout history, there is nothing more than the rise and fall of the dynasties. Just like the beginning of heaven and earth, chaos is a whole, and finally there is something out of nothing. One is born two, two is born three, and three is born thousands of millions. In the end, all the flows return to the clan, and finally one is one, and then eliminated. The same is true for the dynasty - the dynasty was first established, everything is renewed, thriving, the prosperity of the middle, singing and dancing are rising, and the people are healthy. This is a state of balance. But later, the mountains and rivers are falling, and finally it is about to reach the brink of an outbreak. Isn't the current Daxia a moment when it is about to split? - Aristocratic families, relatives, foreign races, and poor and displaced people, now only a small 'hair' floats in, and everything will soon return to chaos..."

After hearing this, Gui Yu said the other party's tone was plain, but he still felt a little chill. However, Sanfan suddenly laughed and said, "But after all, there is another saying that after a great chaos, there will be peace. After a long time of unity, there will be division. After a long time of division, there will be unity. You don't have to worry too much. As long as there is hope, what can't be done?"

Gui Yu pondered for a while before putting down his burden and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Sanfan gently sniffed the fragrance of tea floating in the air, ignored the others, and smiled at Gui Yu next to him, "Hehe, the tea is ready!" As he said that, he poured the tea bowl full, and a slightly bitter aroma came to his nose.

Gui Yu just now because the tea taste is not as fragrant as other good teas - he has been in the Chen family for many years and is also considered a master of tea, and he is very familiar with the cooking of tea... But Sanfan's technique is rough, and the tea tastes a little bitter. He has already had a preconceived impression, but because it is a guest, it is difficult to show it. But now he is holding the tea bowl, he still hesitates a little... But Sanfan has already started to taste it with the tea bowl - Looking at Sanfan's intoxication, Gui Yu finally made up his mind, took a smile, and felt that his tongue was immediately surrounded by the bitter taste, and he "punched" and spit out a smile...

Sanfan smiled slightly when he saw his embarrassed look and said, "These tea leaves were also picked by a wild tea that I accidentally discovered when I traveled around the world. Its biggest feature is bitterness, so I called it bitter tea..." He looked at Gui Yu, who was amused and crying, and smiled, "Count the time, you should be able to understand its beauty now, right?"

Gui Yu was stunned, but suddenly realized that the bitterness just now gradually faded, and what was replaced by a faint sweetness...

Sanfan smiled and said, "Where is sweet if there is no bitterness?"

Gui Yu stopped talking, but just lowered his head and slowly savored the bitter tea and Sanfan's words...

Just as the two of them were silently immersed in the fragrance of tea, Liu Xi's playful voice came: "Cook! Are you cooking those rotten leaves again? Tell you a few times, want to drink good tea, do I have any self-abuse..." He shouted, and he opened Sanfan's door, saw that there was one of them, and he didn't recognize his life, and smiled: "This brother must have been pulled by this guy to the ground to be poisoned again? He is really stupid..."

Before he finished speaking, Sanfan was smiling and slightly cut off: "I don't know who was the first to be 'toxic' from me? Who insisted on plundering half of me, which made me have to worry..."

Liu Xi smiled and changed the topic: "This brother..."

Sanfan said, "This is Brother Gui, who wants to do business with us... However, after what I said just now, I think I will decide the business!"

Gui Yu looked at Sanfan excitedly, but Liu Xi felt that the cooperation could almost be accomplished - this "bitter tea" is not something that everyone can drink - although he felt a little cheap to drink... Since Sanfan even shared his treasure of the house with the people, he must be very speculative - otherwise, even after the tea is cooked, Sanfan will have the ability to make him unable to drink it!

But Sanfan's answer was always unexpected - he said lightly: "No!"

Both of them were stunned and said at the same time: "Why!?"

Sanfan asked lightly: "You are from the Chen family, aren't you?"

Gui Yu had a dull face: "It's because of this?"

Sanfan shook his head: "Yes, but not!"

Liu Xidaluo also knew the reason why Sanfan was in love with the capital and said in confusion: "Hmm?"

Sanfan's smile was meaningful: "Originally, I wanted to agree after knowing Brother Gui's purpose!"

Gui Yu suddenly asked, "How do you know I belong to the Chen family?"

Sanfan smiled and said, "Don't tell lies in front of Mingren. The one who called the city garrison that day was you?"

"How do you know?" Gui Yu asked in confusion, "There is no flaw, right?"

Sanfan smiled and said, "Because the smile you saw after meeting me - it was a smile that demonstrated to me after the plan succeeded. Although it was small and humble bow, it meant that I could feel..."

Gui Yu didn't give up: "What does 'yes, not' mean?"

Sanfan smiled and said, "Originally you wanted to participate in the 'Taotie' business, but my purpose was not too clean, right?" Before Gui Yu answered, he said, "But you create a good opportunity for yourself to control 'Taotie', but it may also be an opportunity for me to reach out to the Chen family's business and eventually subvert him..."

Gui Yu asked calmly: "Then why are you..."

Sanfan smiled and said, "Because you..."

"Me?" Gui Yu was puzzled.

"You are a talent. I feel a little sensation when I listen to you... But the Chen family and I... so I can't bear to die in the end. But since there is a destiny to fight, let's use the battlefield where we can't see the bow and arrow! However, if I win, you should give me this sword to me, the martyr!" Sanfan said with a smile.

Gui Yuteng took it up, staring at Sanfan with bright eyes... Sanfan smiled at him, and finally Gui Yu stretched out his palm and said three crisp palms. Gui Yu took back his palm, didn't say anything, bowed to Sanfan and the other two, and floated away...
Chapter completed!
