    "Old man, you are really a learned gentleman, you even know such things." Chen Wanrong had to admire him.

    The phrase "gathering one's armpits into a furrow" is used in modern times to encourage people to learn and accumulate knowledge. It has almost the same meaning as "gathering soil into a mountain", but the true meaning is hidden. Chen Wanrong is a science student, so we can't blame him.

    "Hey, Wanrong, please stop praising me." Li Qingquan shook his right hand and clarified: "I only know how to do business. What I see in my eyes is money. How can I understand these things? Mr. Zheng told me to know this."  .¡±

    If it weren't for this old man Zheng, he wouldn't know the true meaning of the phrase "gathering one's arms into fur". Chen Wanrong couldn't help but have a good impression of this old man Zheng whom he had never met before, and praised him: "Mr. Zheng is really knowledgeable!  "

    "Isn't that right!" Li Qingquan agreed very much with this and said: "I have been dealing with him for these years and I have learned nothing but a lot of knowledge. Every time I meet him, I learn something new.  The harvest. Mr. Zheng studies whenever he has free time, unlike other wealthy people who spend their time living and drinking."

    The life of the rich is the same in every era. They are extravagant and squandering. They don't go out and mess around when they have money, and they concentrate on studying. There are very few such people. They are an alternative among the rich. Their character is admirable. Chen  Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little fonder for this old man Zheng: "Mr. Zheng has extraordinary knowledge and noble character, which is admirable."

    Li Qingquan was convinced from the bottom of his heart that he was a big customer. He clapped his hands and agreed with these words: "Mr. Zheng is full of knowledge. Tomorrow is the time when he should come to pick up the goods, but he can't come. I heard that there is a guest at his home, a  A friend of mine named Wu Jing came from Chang'an to visit him, and he and he were reciting poems and composing poems at home, drinking poetry and singing together, and I don't know how happy they are."

    Chen Wanrong has not read Wu Jing's masterpiece "Zhenguan Politicians" and doesn't know much about him. However, from the couplet "Knowledge of all things in the world", we can imagine that his talent, learning and character are superior to others, and he admires him from the bottom of his heart.  , he immediately became interested when he heard this: "Old man, you said that Mr. Zheng and Mr. Wu Jing and Wu are school friends?"

    "Yes!" Li Qingquan asked a little strangely: "Wanrong, what's wrong with you?"

    Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "Old man, Mr. Wu Jing and Wu are the masters of knowledge and understanding of the world."

    Li Qingquan said oh twice, then smiled and said: "Wan Rong, you don't have to be surprised. Mr. Zheng is so knowledgeable that he can make friends like Mr. Wu Jing and Wu, right?"

    "People of the same kind flock together, and birds of a feather flock together." What kind of people make what kind of friends? Chen Wanrong couldn't help but become more interested in Mr. Zheng: "What the old man said is very reasonable, and it can make Mr. Wu Jing break up."  The person I handed over must be extraordinary. Old man, it¡¯s getting late. If you have nothing to do, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±

    This time, Li Qingquan didn't try to hold him back anymore. He stood up happily and said, "Wan Rong, the waste water has been reserved for you. See if it suits you. Wan Rong, you gave me such a good idea today. This  The waste water will be yours from now on.¡±

    Thinking of how he refused to give the waste water to him yesterday, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little funny and joked: "Old man, what should I do? Didn't cousin Ling want to say that?"

    Li Qingquan knew that Chen Wanrong had seen through the lie. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and didn't blush at all. He patted Chen Wanrong on the shoulder and smiled before telling the truth: "Wanrong, let me tell you the truth.  My cousin didn't ask me for waste water at all. I thought, if you can make things from waste water, why can't I? I told a lie, Wanrong, don't take it seriously. Wanrong did this to me.  It¡¯s a brilliant idea. I have nothing to offer in return, so I¡¯ll give you the waste water. Even if there¡¯s a golden doll in it, I won¡¯t regret it!¡±

    This is nothing more than a disguised apology to Chen Wanrong. He is a good-looking person. It is commendable that he can speak to this extent. He cannot ask for more. Chen Wanrong also laughed, gave a thumbs up, and praised:  "Old man, feel free!"

    Li Qingquan was very pleased. He took Chen Wanrong's hand and said: "Let's go, Wanrong, go and have a look. Wanrong, I have offended you a lot in the past. Please forgive me. I am stingy.  It's generous, it depends on the person, I will definitely be generous to you and your family in the future!"

    When the two met for the first time, Li Qingquan looked down on Chen Wanrong very much, and was so stingy that he could compare with Yan Jiansheng.  After several interactions, Li Qingquan's attitude towards Chen Wanrong became more and more friendly. He even used the honorific title "you" and formally apologized for the past. This was even harder than the sun rising from the west.

    Chen Wanrong was a little unbelievable. He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "The old man is joking. If you hadn't kept buying our barrels, our family would not know how difficult it would be. Speaking of which, we have to thank the old man."

    Li Qingquan has put down his posture and is so friendly, you can't be too petty and cling to the past. You should show goodwill so that you can have a happy cooperation in the future.

    The two of them were talking and soon arrived in front of the workshop.  Li Qingquan took Chen Wanrong directly to a wooden barrel under the eaves. When they came to the wooden barrel, Li Qingquan pointed into the barrel: "Wanrong, take a look, does this suit your liking?"

    A strange smell mixed with sour, alkaline, foul, oily, and fishy smells rushed into the nose, making people's stomach churn.  Chen Wanrong took a look and saw oily foam floating on the top. He couldn't see clearly below. He was looking for a wooden stick to fiddle with it a few times. Li Qingquan had already picked up a wooden stick by the wall, put it in the bucket and pushed it hard, removing the top layer of foam.  The oil foam was pulled aside, and underneath was a mixture of oil and floating matter. It was as sticky as dough with too much water, and was mixed with a lot of scraps of skin and animal hair.

    It was much better than Chen Wanrong expected, and he was very satisfied: "Old man, you have paid more attention."

    Now Li Qingquan was very concerned about Chen Wanrong's affairs. He put the stick aside and said enthusiastically: "Wanrong, this bucket weighs almost two hundred kilograms. I will ask someone to drive a car to deliver it to you. From now on, every day  One trip.¡±

    Chen Wanrong does not have a car. He originally planned to go to a car dealership and hire a car to transport the wastewater back if Li Qingquan had prepared it. Unexpectedly, Li Qingquan was so enthusiastic and wanted to deliver it every day.  This is indeed a good way to solve the problem, but Chen Wanrong has other ideas. People have to rely on themselves. This is not a long-term strategy. He pondered for a while and said: "I understand the old man's kindness. I still have to do this myself."  Bar."

    Li Qingquan misunderstood and thought that Chen Wanrong didn't want his help, so he hurriedly explained: "Wanrong, don't worry, I said I'll do it once a day, I will definitely do it once a day, and I won't charge you a penny. If the horse is empty, it will be empty."  , your home is not far from here, it takes less than an hour to go back and forth."

    Whether he is stingy or not depends on the person. This makes sense. He was very generous to Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong never expected that he would be so generous.  Being able to make him make a 180-degree turn really made Chen Wanrong feel a little flattered. He smiled and said: "Old man, please do it once or twice. As time goes by, I won't feel sorry for it. In this way,  I have fourteen taels of silver here, let me see if I can buy a car."

    Li Qingquan admired Chen Wanrong's character of not wanting to take advantage of others from the bottom of his heart, and said happily: "Wanrong, if someone else wanted me to give it to him every day, but you don't want it, good character! Ambitious! Wanrong  , you can only buy an ox cart for fourteen taels of silver, and a horse costs twenty taels of silver. If it was more expensive in the past, I will give you another ten taels of silver and you can buy a beautiful carriage." Put your right hand into your arms.  Here, ready to pay for it.

    Chen Wanrong hurriedly stopped: "Old man, please don't. We country people are different from you. It's better for you to use a horse-drawn carriage, but it's better for us to use an ox-cart. One ox and one cart can both plow the land and transport things. It's a good combination."  It¡¯s convenient.¡±

    In ancient times, cattle were not only production tools, but also vehicles. They could pull plows and carts. They were multi-purpose animals and were very suitable for rural areas.  When Li Qingquan thought about this, he stretched out his right hand from his arms and said, "Wan Rong, then I'll go with you. Those livestock sellers have to give me some face."

    After several interactions, Chen Wanrong has gotten to know Li Qingquan very well. He is the kind of person who bullies and oppresses people he doesn't like, and worships those he likes in the shrine. Now for Chen Wanrong,  Rong couldn't be better.  Today, I have no more benefits from Li Qingquan. I can no longer bother him. I have to solve my own affairs by myself. Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "Old man, you are busy with your affairs. How can I dare to worry about you? Old man, please don't worry.  , I can solve this matter."

    Li Qingquan was convinced by Chen Wanrong's shrewdness and nodded: "Okay, I still can't trust Wanrong? Then I'll wait for your good news."

    "Thank you for your good wishes, sir!" Chen Wanrong said politely.  Li Qingquan sent him out of the workshop, and Chen Wanrong left Li Qingquan temporarily to buy a bullock cart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
