The only large-scale Chen Ji restaurant in the town, speaking of it, Ji Ran’s first single mushroom business was traded with this restaurant, and now it has become a business partner, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, with Ji Ran are very familiar.No, just as Ji Ran and Li Kui stepped into the gate of the restaurant with the child in their arms, the shopkeeper put down his abacus and came out with a smile on his face.

"I said that the magpies kept barking from above early this morning, so I thought it was a happy event coming to the door. It turned out that it was Ji Daguan who was here. Don't be surprised if you are far away to greet me. Hurry up, hurry up!"

What the shopkeeper said was true, as if he, Ji Ran, was the mascot.

The corners of Ji Ran's mouth twitched, and Fang cupped his hands towards the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Cao, how many times have I told you, don't call me Ji Daguan, just call me Ji Ran by my first name. It's awkward to have a score."

Shopkeeper Cao laughed, not taking up Ji Ran's words, and enthusiastically led the two of them upstairs to the elegant hall.

Ji Ran knew that the ancients were rigid and pedantic, and many attempts to correct them were fruitless, so he didn't bother to continue to entangle in the titles, and he listened to what he liked.That's right, Mr. Ji, Boss Ji, sounds fine, but this Ji's official always makes him think of Ximen Qing, an official of Ximen. There are really many kinds of names in ancient times. There is no standard. What are they called? There are all of them, and it makes people extremely helpless, but there is nothing they can do.

There are two rows of elegant halls upstairs, and the two of them were taken into one of the row facing the street. The elegant layout and cheerful space are exactly the kind of restaurant that is rarely open to the public.Usually it's only used by the host's family for banquets, but now it's given to Ji Ran and the others, which is considered an excellent treatment.

Aside from Ji Ran's business dealings with Chen Ji Restaurant, Li Kui is also a frequent customer here, ordered a few special dishes in the restaurant, and then sent the shopkeeper out.

As soon as Shopkeeper Cao left and the two sat down, Li Kui said, "Brother Ji, I really appreciate you. You might as well think about what I told you about Brother Qi." The draft blew past, and Li Kui shivered, "Tsk, it's really cold today. Every now and then, there is a draft, which makes people's heart feel cold." Then, he turned over the teacup and poured two cups of hot tea. In front of Ji Ran, a cup was brought over and he swallowed half of it in one breath, "Come here, drink some hot tea to warm up your body."

Ji Ran stared speechlessly at someone from 'The Wind in the Hall', picked up the cup but didn't drink it himself, seeing that the child's face was flushed from the cold, he let him take a sip, and then warmed his face with the cup.

Li Kui looked at it and said, "I just got a fox fur scarf from the Western Regions. It's brightly colored. Adults use it for exaggeration, but it's just right for children. Why don't you come to my place to get it later, and treat it as a New Year's gift for your children. how?"

"No, no, no." Ji Ran hurriedly refused. Seeing that he was disappointed, he began to talk about business, "I didn't meet Brother Li today, and my younger brother is going to visit the house."

"Oh?" Li Kui's eyes lit up when he heard this, he quickly put down the teacup he was holding, and looked at Ji Ran without blinking.

"I have something to do. I thought Brother Li was very knowledgeable, so I wanted to go to your house to ask you for advice. Maybe you have heard of it." The cup covered his face, and the child enjoyed it at first, but when the temperature cooled Impatient and always grabbing with his hands, Ji Ran put the cup on the table, and while gathering up the child's clothes, he said, "Brother Li has traveled all over the world for so many years, have you ever heard of Tianwai Xuantie?"

"Tianwai Xuantie?" Li Kui was stunned, "What is that?" Then he shook his head, "Li has only heard of blacksmiths forging iron, but has not heard of Tianwai Xuantie. Where did you hear such a mysterious thing? Could it be that Mr. Storyteller has listened too much to bragging? Let me tell you, no matter how mysterious Mr. Storyteller says, it’s just a story, and it can’t be true.”

Although Li Kui's reaction disappointed Ji Ran, it was reasonable. If it was something that everyone knew, it would not be surprising, and it would not make Lu Zhen search for it for so long.

"No, no, it's not what the storyteller said." Ji Ran didn't say too deeply, and glanced at Lu Zhen who was sitting coldly beside him, and said, "Actually, Tianwai Xuantie is just called by a nice name. To put it bluntly, it's a kind of Stone."

Li Kui frowned twice, waiting for the next sentence with a suspicious expression.

"It's a stone that fell from the sky. I call it a meteorite." Seeing Li Kui laughing, Ji Ran hurriedly said, "Brother Li knows that the meteor is actually a natural phenomenon caused by the falling meteorite. You don’t know, that is, can I ask you, can you please pay more attention to my younger brother when you run a business in the next year, as long as it is a strange-shaped stone, don’t worry about the price, I will definitely not let you work in vain. Buy them at the price, and if you can find them, you will be rewarded with a lot of money.”

"Talking about money hurts feelings." Li Kui waved his hand, just when the door knocked, the waiter came to serve the food, so he stopped talking, and waited for the person to leave after serving the food, then he picked up the bamboo chopsticks and talked with Ji Ran while eating, "Isn't it just a stone? I'll keep an eye on it for you. Anyway, it doesn't take up much space, so let's just take it as a side effect. But since you call it Tianwai Xuantie, it must be that this Laoshizi meteorite has something to do with that iron." Whether it is related, whether it is true or not, I will take it to the blacksmith shop to confirm one or two."

"The little brother will thank the elder brother first." Ji Ran took the child with him, and it was inconvenient to drink, so he toasted Li Kui with tea instead of wine.Although talking about money hurts feelings, but Ji Ran has a steelyard in his heart, so naturally he will not really make Li Kuibai busy. If he can really find the Huanyang Stone, he will definitely be rewarded with a lot of money.

The two of them exchanged cups, and after eating this meal for less than half an hour, Li Kui got a little tipsy after drinking, but Ji Ran was full of tea.

It was quite depressing to think about it, if it wasn't for Lu Zhen's 'shameful', he wouldn't have to drink tea and not drink because of 'to take care of the child', gluttony is the second, the main thing is that the water is too full and uncomfortable.It's a pity that he didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, but let the little guy in his arms drink soup and make his belly full.

After the restaurant separated from Li Kui, Ji Ran and Lu Zhen walked around the street again, but this time Ji Ran found a funeral shop with a clear goal.After buying some incense candles, she picked out a large piece of red paper and asked the shopkeeper to cut a red paper dress that was about Lu Zhen's height.

As soon as this request was made, the shopkeeper looked at him as if he was looking at a psychopath.

"How can this paper dress be made to match the height of a human body? Besides, blue and blue paper is usually used, and red paper has never been used. Young master, you..."

"You do what you are asked to do. Where is there so much nonsense, and it's not that they won't give you money." Ji Ran was depressed by the store's attitude, and before the other party could finish speaking, he interrupted in a bad tone.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper stopped talking nonsense, picked up the scissors, and started spreading out the red paper to get to work.Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, if you have money, you don't make a bastard.

Lu Zhen looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask Ji Ran, "What are you doing? Get me clothes?"

Ji Ran nodded, since it's a family, of course you can't just wear red and new clothes for yourself and your children, and Lu Zhen is also indispensable, so it's enough to be festive.

The corner of Lu Zhen's mouth twitched, "Do you know what the hell are those in red clothes?"

Ji Ran turned to look at Lu Zhen and blinked.

"That's right." Lu Zhen raised his eyebrows, "A ghost in red."

Ji Ran: "..."

Even though he was told that the one in red was a ghost, Ji Ran still didn't give up and insisted on cutting Lu Zhen into a red paper dress.He felt that it had nothing to do with the color of a ghost or something. Lu Zhen was not a ghost, so it was impossible for him to change his character by wearing red. Well, that should be the case.

Thinking of this, Ji Ran didn't care about Lu Zhen anymore, and nodded seriously, feeling that what he thought was reasonable.When the shop was finally finished, he carefully folded it up and put it under a box of new clothes for himself and his children. Then he paid the money and walked out of the shop, heading home.

Watching Ji Ran's back, the shopkeeper shook his head, and called "weird" three times, but didn't say much. He sighed and went back to the counter, counting the shadows he had just received.It's rare to earn such a large sum today, isn't it thanks to this generous eccentric?

Coming out of the funeral parlor, Lu Zhen looked at Ji Ran several times and hesitated to speak.

"You can say whatever you want, why are you hesitating?" Ji Ran stared at him speechlessly, then turned his head and continued to play with the child's chubby hands.

"We're not short of money now, it's very inconvenient to get in and out, why didn't you think of going to a horse and horse dealership to buy a carriage instead?" Lu Zhen actually thought about this a long time ago, but it was snowing heavily I rarely travel, so I forgot about it for a while.

Ji Ran's actions to amuse the child paused, and shook his head disapprovingly, "It's not necessary, we often travel from the village to the town, and it's the same to hire a car when we travel far. Don’t waste your money.”

In fact, Ji Ran feels that although the current economic conditions are good, it is now in the stage of development. If you want to develop better, you need to continue to invest. The money seems to be a lot, and it is like a splash when you throw it in. It doesn't make much splash wave.Besides, he still has to save the money to find the Yangshi. There is not even a reference template for that thing. It can be said that he is blindly looking for it with smeared eyes. It looks like a bottomless pit, and it is most expensive.

Hey!

To outsiders, Ji Ran is extremely rich, but in fact he is still poor. Who can understand the pain of his appearance?

Ji Ran was thinking about it with a sigh in his heart, when Lu Zhen raised his hand and touched his head, he couldn't help being stunned, and turned his head to look at Lu Zhen wondering.

"Is it because of me?" Lu Zhen's deep black eyes seem to have the power to penetrate everything, "Is it because you are under pressure to find me the Yangshi?"

Ji Ran opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Lu Zhengai's hand on top of his head slipped to the back of his neck and squeezed.Ji Ran was shocked by this action, and immediately forgot what he was going to say.

"Actually, you don't need to wrong yourself so much. The matter of returning Yangshi can't be saved by saving a few meals. This thing is rare and can't be found overnight. Let's not worry, take your time. Besides, this kind of thing It depends on God's will, and you can't force it." Lu Zhen sighed, and moved his hand along Ji's neck to shoulder and arm, sliding down a little bit, and finally took his hand, fingers crossed and tightly clasped, "Brother Ji, I The urgency to return to the sun is because of you, and I want to accompany you as a human being for the rest of my life, but if it makes you cut back on expenses and live a difficult life, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse? Then I might as well just be a ghost and slowly cultivate Practicing the way of ghosts can also achieve great success.”

"It's not as serious as you said, isn't it that I'm living a good life? I'm not as stingy as you said?" Ji Ran was a little embarrassed when he was said to be the center of the matter, but he really didn't feel how frugal he was. , It’s just some unnecessary expenses. Horse-drawn carriages are not very useful in the first place. He doesn’t know how to drive, so he has to hire a coachman if he buys it. Why bother? Temporary employment is actually quite convenient, but I didn’t expect it One sentence elicited so many heartfelt words from Lu Zhen, and he was a little dumbfounded.

Ji Ran smiled, and saw the child looking at the rattle in the shopkeeper's hand without turning his eyes, thinking to buy one, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Changyuan standing there, the two turned around at the same time, their eyes met each other .
