Chapter 275 Familiarity
As a country man who has seen countless artificially perfect women in later generations, and accompanied by beauties like Guan Ji, how could Feng Yong be so easily moved by Li Mu?
“Mr. Feng Langjun, do you remember that when we were in Jincheng last year, you promised my father-in-law that you would give me Li family tea seedlings?”
Seeing that Feng Yong was clearly staring at her, but his eyes were extremely clear, Li Mu knew that his little trick was of no use to him, so he was not surprised.
If the famous Feng Langjun is so easily impressed, it would be a huge disappointment to her.
"of course I remember."
“I wonder if Feng Langjun’s words still count?”
“It counts!”
Feng Yong smiled and said, "Fengzhuang has a lot of tea seedlings now. If nothing unexpected happens, I can definitely give you some this year."
“Then I’ll be relieved. I dare to ask Feng Langjun when the tea seedlings will be better planted.”
“It’s naturally spring, but the spring planting time has passed. Autumn is also possible, so if you want to plant, you need to clear up the hillside at this time to prepare.”
“I understand and will tell my father about this when I get back.”
Li Mu said, looking at Feng Yong, "I thank Mr. Feng for the gift."
"Don't rush to say thank you. I will give you these tea seedlings for free, but there are conditions." Feng Yong smiled slightly, "Please listen to what I have to say first, and then think about whether you want to plant them."
“I wonder what Mr. Feng wants from my Li family?”
“Sign a contract. As far as I know, you can start harvesting tea leaves three years after planting tea.”
"From the year when the tea leaves are harvested, you must sell the tea leaves to me for three consecutive years. You are not allowed to sell them to others, and you are not allowed to sell them yourself. Of course, if you just use them to drink for yourself, this is not an exception."
“Feng Langjun, we can provide money to buy tea seedlings.”
As soon as Li Mulue thought about it, he immediately understood the relationship.
“I don’t sell, I just give away. We are all from the countryside, how can talking about money hurt our feelings?”
Feng Tibi had a divine look on his face.
Shameless!
Li Mu gritted his teeth secretly.
"Feng Langjun, I'm afraid you didn't hear clearly. What I'm talking about is money and grain. As far as I know, Feng Langjun has gathered many people in Nanxiang County, and I heard that he is also collecting grain in Jincheng."
Li Mu cursed shamelessly in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, "Although the Li family is not a big family, they still have some fields, so they stocked some food. If Feng Langjun is short of food, our Li family can send over."
“Send it to where?”
“Nanxiang.”
Li Mu looked at Feng Yong and said seriously, "As long as Feng Langjun is willing to sell tea seedlings, we will exchange them with grain and be responsible for delivering them to Nanxiang."
Guan Ji glanced at Li Mu in surprise.
Brother only came up with the idea of using woolen cloth to lure merchants to send grain to Nanxiang yesterday. Unexpectedly, Li Mu actually proposed the idea of sending grain to Nanxiang today.
I don’t know whether this idea was thought up by the woman herself or by someone else in the Li family.
"How many tea seedlings do you want? With so much food and such a lot of effort, I'm afraid I won't have enough tea seedlings to replace them."
"It doesn't matter if there are not enough tea seedlings. I heard the news from Jincheng that Feng Langjun asked someone to bring woolen cloth to Jincheng in exchange for food a few days ago. I think it doesn't need to be so troublesome."
Li Mu said confidently.
"What's the meaning?"
Feng Yong's expression became slightly solemn.
“If the grain sent by our Li family is replaced by tea seedlings and there is any shortage, Feng Langjun can exchange it with woolen cloth.”
“If you are short of food, our Li family will bring it to you, and our Li family will help you sell the hair cloth. Such good things are rare in the world, right?”
“When did you, the Li family, have this idea?”
Feng Yong asked curiously.
“This is what I have figured out these days.”
Eh? This woman has ideas.
Feng Tibi was even more surprised this time.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Feng Langjun. Although I came up with this on my own, as long as I report this to my eldest father, he will definitely agree.”
Li Mu looked at Feng Tubiao with something wrong. He thought Feng Yong thought she was talking nonsense, so he quickly explained.
"Sister," Li Tong, who was on the side, suddenly became anxious after hearing this. He glanced at Feng Yong and then said in a hesitant voice, "Are you a little anxious about this matter? You should discuss it with the eldest father first, otherwise it will be a big deal. Father blames me..."
Li Mu looked at Li Tong with a look of disappointment.
Feng Yong looked at Li Mu, then looked at Li Tong, touched his chin, and thought to himself, in Sichuan, it is true that Zhuge Jun said that because of Feng Shui, there are many women in Sichuan. Beloved by God?
Sichuan girls... Even in later generations, they are still very good.
“My brother is ignorant, please don’t mind Feng Langjun.”
Li Mu saw Feng Yong's thoughtful look, and first glanced at Li Tong as a warning, signaling him to stop talking, and then said to Feng Yong with a smile.
“Ms. Li, in the Li family, has she ever been in charge of the manor or money and food?”
Feng Yong, however, didn't care what Li Mu was talking about and just asked a very strange question.
"Those who are in charge of the money and food of the manor are all the ones in charge of the family. I am just a female, with a father and a brother. How can I be so virtuous? How dare I think of this?"
Although Li Mu said it very modestly, Feng Tibi had a very familiar feeling.
“You, the Li family, went to such great lengths to transport grain just to exchange for tea seedlings and woolen cloth?”
Feng Yong looked suspicious.
As soon as Li Mu heard this, his heart pounded. It seemed that this person had not thought of the key point of the matter.
She forced herself to calm down and pretended to be embarrassed, "Back to Feng Langjun, my Li family wants to plant more tea seedlings, so we came up with this strategy."
"Moreover, the road to Shu is difficult to travel and transporting grain is not easy, so I want to borrow something from Feng Langjun."
"what?"
“It’s the pushcart made by Feng Langjun.”
Handcarts are now popular not only in textile workshops, but also in Nanxiang.
This thing is convenient, flexible and very easy to use.
Feng Yong had no intention of hiding it, so he never prohibited his subordinates from making such cars privately.
But this Li Mu is really thoughtful in what he does.
After all, this thing was made by Feng Yong. If it were used normally, it would be nothing.
But now that the Li family is asking for help, she will try to avoid even the slightest possibility of causing Feng Yong's displeasure.
“You want to use it to transport grain?”
“It seems that when Feng Langjun made this thing, he really thought of its usage.”
With a look of admiration on his face, Li Mu said, "The road from Jianshan to Hanzhong is rugged, and transporting food depends on people and animals. With this cart, it will be several times faster?"
“Besides, there are many Han people who have no livestock at home. With this cart, I don’t know how much convenience it will be for the people. Feng Langjun, I’m afraid you have made a great contribution to the Han people!”
With just the right amount of flattery, to paralyze his opponent, and to try his best to conceal his true purpose, Feng Yong finally remembered where this sense of familiarity came from.
Isn’t that what happened in business negotiations in previous lives?
