Guan Xiujin stayed for dinner at noon, and there were only him and Jiang Fan at the table.

Uncle Zhang slaughtered a chicken, half of it was used to make chicken soup, half of it was used to cook potatoes, and there was also a dish of stewed rabbit meat, which Jiang Fan had brought from the mountain before.

Because it is summer, the taste is relatively light, except for these three dishes, the others are vegetarian dishes.Even so, Jiang Fan was very confident in the vegetables in his garden. Most people would not be able to eat his vegetables. Even these simple side dishes, if served to Guan Xiujin, were of a very high standard.

In fact, it was exactly as Jiang Fan thought.

In order to take care of his body, Guan Xiujin has been paying attention to his diet for many years. He usually eats very delicately. In his position, he has eaten too many good things.Before Jiang Fan stayed at Xiujin for lunch, it wasn't that he couldn't see that the other party was being polite, but he approached Jiang Fan with his purpose, so he followed the trend.

He didn't have any expectations for this lunch, he just planned to take a few sips out of politeness.

As soon as it was served on the table, Guan Xiujin could see that the few vegetarian dishes on the table did not use any seasoning, but were simply cooked. The cooks tried to keep the original flavor of the vegetables as much as possible, but the taste was extraordinarily strong fragrant.

Guan Xiujin was not a person who cared about his appetite, and he didn't feel hungry before serving the table, but when he smelled the aroma on the table, his sleepy appetite seemed to be awakened instantly, and when Jiang Fan moved his chopsticks, he hardly hesitated, and he would Picking up the chopsticks, he reached for a plate of brightly colored cold bitter gourd in front of him.

As soon as the extremely thin slices of bitter gourd enter the mouth, there is extreme bitterness at first, before the eyebrows can be gathered together, the tip of the tongue is filled with sweetness, which overwhelms the astringent bitterness, and the slightly frowning eyebrows are also stretched, waiting to be swallowed , the sweetness lingers for a long time, and the aftertaste is endless.

It feels almost addictive.

Guan Xiujin ate in a reserved and refined manner, neither fast nor slow, but the chopsticks never stopped, and Guan Xiujin almost ate most of the plate of cold bitter gourd.

After that, Guan Xiujin went to try other dishes.

Stir-fried corn kernels are sweet and juicy; stir-fried lotus root slices are filled with diced green peppers, the sweetness of the lotus root slices is slightly spicy; cold cucumbers are crisp and refreshing; the potatoes in the braised chicken are full of soup , almost melts in the mouth; the chicken soup skimmed off the slick is light and fragrant, very delicious.

It wasn't until he put down his chopsticks that Guan Xiujin realized that he seemed to have eaten too much and was actually a little full.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin moved outside to the porch again, where Uncle Zhang had already put down the tables and chairs, and there was a teapot on the table.

Ah Ban, who had eaten at another place, was already waiting at the side, probably because he ate well, and his eyes became smaller when he smiled.

Leaning on the chair, Jiang Fan took a sip of the very lightly brewed tea, which he likes to drink. It has no bitter taste and is slightly sweet in the mouth.Exhaling comfortably at the flowers all over the yard, Jiang Fan looked at Guan Xiujin next to him. Seeing that he hadn't touched the cup of tea, he recalled that the other party only took a sip in the morning and then left it there. Do you think this tea is not good or do not like tea.

Guan Xiujin stared at Jiang Fan, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said: "Before I slept lightly, the doctor told me not to drink tea."

Tea has the effect of refreshing the mind. Before Guan Xiujin's leg was healed, sleep was a luxury for him. He didn't touch tea at that time. Even though his leg is healed now, he has been used to it for so many years.

Jiang Fan nodded to show he understood.

Jiang Fan looked around, but still couldn't find any trace of Feng San and the others, so he couldn't help being curious: "Where are Feng San and the others?"

Guan Xiujin tapped the table, "Come down."

Then suddenly flying people descended from the sky, four big men jumped down from the roof, stood in a row in the yard, and saluted Guan Xiujin: "Lang Jun."

He hugged Jiang Fan again.

Jiang Fan scratched his cheeks, thinking that being a human guard was really hard work. The sun was scorching right now, and he had to climb up to the roof. He didn't know how they climbed up, and they were all tanned.

Feng San and Feng Si helped Jiang Fan once before. Although Guan Xiu said it out of his heart, Jiang Fan was still very grateful to them.After that night, I didn't see Feng San and Feng Si again. Now Jiang Fan took out a pile of facial fat from the house, and gave each of them two boxes. Feng Yi and Feng Er also had a share.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang Lang." The four of them accepted Guan Xiujin's agreement and thanked them.

The four of them were very happy. The facial fat Ah Ban bought from Jiaoyan Pavilion was given to Feng San directly. Feng San's face was full of acne, and after a few days of wiping, his face looked better.Although they are big men, they also have a heart for beauty. The other three are thinking about whether to take some money from their wives to buy it and wipe it.

Ah Ban glanced at it, he recognized it, it was the most expensive one in Jiaoyan Pavilion.Two boxes per person, and more than 600 taels of silver were sent out at once, Jiang Langjun is really not short of money.Seeing that Jiang Fan turned his head and handed over two boxes to him, Ah Ban immediately smiled, and took the facial fat without any hesitation, "Thank you Jiang Langjun."

Scratching his old wrinkled face, Ah Ban said that he was just envious of Feng San and the others.

In the end, the remaining two boxes, Jiang Fan put them in front of Guan Xiujin, "Let's use these two boxes for Ah Jin, I see that your eyes are too black and blue."

Guan Xiujin's panda eyes for so many years are not for nothing, and the imperial physicians also mixed a lot of ointments for him, but they still couldn't get rid of them completely.

Jiang Fan is also cautious, once Guan Xiujin's social circle is opened up, he will make a steady profit without losing money, so it doesn't matter if he gives away a few boxes for free.

Of course, Jiang Fan had more important matters to ask Guan Xiujin, he looked at Guan Xiujin with a smile: "Ah Jin, your people seem to be pretty good at kung fu."

Guan Xiujin nodded, "What does Brother Fan want to do?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his hands, "It's nothing, I just want to learn some self-defense techniques from Feng San and the others."

Guan Xiujin had a vague smile on his face, and looked at Jiang Fan: "My people don't know how to defend themselves."

Jiang Fan was taken aback.

Guan Xiujin: "They only know how to kill people."

Under the scorching sun, an occasional gust of breeze made Jiang Fan's back feel shivering.

After being dazed, Jiang Fan rubbed his nose, "Take control, it's not that cruel."

After Guan Xiujin frightened the little fat man, he did not refuse his request, saying: "If Brother Fan really wants to learn, I will ask Feng San to teach you."

"Thank you so much!" Jiang Fan said, and said to Feng San: "I will trouble Brother Feng in the future."

Feng San nodded.

Guan Xiujin stayed with Jiang Fan for most of the day, sat for a while, and then went back.

Jiang Fan got up and offered to see him off, but Guan Xiujin did not refuse, and the group walked towards the river together.

The boat was parked under a weeping willow near the river, and there were aquatic plants floating around it. If you didn't pay attention, you couldn't really see a small boat hidden inside.

Before boarding the boat, Guan Xiu asked, "Brother Fan, do you want to go there?"

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Let's do it another day." Although he really wanted to go there, he went to the river to cut bamboo when he just returned to the village. Guan Xiujin bought it for him.Looking at the opposite side, he couldn't see any house hidden inside at all, and he didn't know where Guan Xiujin lived.

Guan Xiujin said: "Brother Fan, if you have something to do in the future, please call here, and I will come to pick you up."

Jiang Fan nodded, watching Guan Xiujin and the others board the boat and cross the river to the opposite bank. Seeing Guan Xiujin look back at him, he cupped his fists. After Guan Xiujin turned around, he saw their figures submerged in the bamboo forest. Only then turned around and left.

Leaving the river, Jiang Fan went straight to Mianzhifang.

The Hong family brothers were injured, Jiang Fan wanted to tell them to go back to recuperate, but the two brothers said that the injury was not a hindrance and would not delay anything, so they stayed here all the time. Jiang Fan also let Uncle Zhang They nourish their bodies with good food and meat. In addition to letting Dahei and Xiaohei stay here at night, the two brothers Gao Hu and Gao Bao will also live here temporarily.

The temperature in the face cream workshop is cool, and the six workers are now divided into two groups, one group makes face cream, and the other makes hand cream and body lotion. Xueyanghua has not yet started to expand, and new workers have not yet been recruited, although The distribution has been diverted, but there are still many finished products accumulated before. Although the finished products they make every day are small, they can still meet the needs of the store.

In the afternoon, Gu Changqing and Zhang Shumo came back from the county seat.

Those thieves, after investigation, were all local ruffians around Jinwang Town. They had heard about the constant temperature tree before, and they had gone into the mountains to look for it, but they all returned empty-handed.Later, he didn't give up, and found out that there were constant temperature trees in Jiang Fan's house and in the noodle shop, so he wanted to grab them.

What these people think is that Jiang Fan's family has only come here not long ago, and their sphere of influence has not yet been established. There are only a few ordinary men in the family, and even a few women in the town. Two Hong family boys, but as long as there are many of them, they are very easy to get.

When planning to take action, this group of people asked who had been begging for the constant temperature tree before. They planned to sell it directly to these people and leave when they got the money.They also knew that there were two tigers in Jiang Fan's family, so they deliberately put medicine on the knife. It was not poison, but something similar to anesthetic, which could quickly make the tiger fall down. When the time came, the two tigers would be taken away together. The dignitaries like these rare beasts the most, and they can sell for a lot of money.

The person who was slapped down by the tigress died within a few days after being sent to the county government.This person is not an innocent person. The county government found out during the investigation that this person is not a local resident. If you die, you die, and Jiang Fan doesn't have to bear any responsibility

After the thief incident, Jiang Fan was familiar with the county government. Gu Changqing also specially sent a constant temperature tree to the county magistrate according to Jiang Fan's intention. It was settled, and those people were all sent to jail.

In fact, on the Zhaizi's side, if Jiang Fan and the others hadn't been wearing Dichen Fruit, they might have really gotten what those thieves wanted.

Jiang Fan felt that he was still being careless. Gu Changqing proposed to buy people several times, but he felt that the family did not need so many people so he did not agree. After this experience, he really could not hesitate any longer.

But after buying someone back, there is no room for servants to live in the Jiang family house. Although the yard here is big enough, and two rows of wing rooms will be built on both sides, it will probably be enough to live in, but Jiang Fan has a feeling that his private territory will be violated. Feel.

To get the best of both worlds, Jiang Fan had to either expand the house to the sandy land on both sides to create a new yard, or rebuild a new house on a new piece of land.

Jiang Fan tends to the latter. The former house is nearly 20 years old, and its architectural design can only be described as ordinary. Sometimes when it rains heavily, the rain will float into the house from under the eaves.

In the evening, Jiang Fan told Gu Changqing his thoughts, and Gu Changqing said: "If you really don't plan to go back to Shangjing in the future, then this house can be built."
