Chapter 30 Uncovering the Cornucopia
In fact, Tao Jin was sowing the trouble of Xiangxue and Tao Ran, but he didn't think that they would turn against each other, but he just thought that they could suspect each other. Because as long as this was the case, they could not plan on Tao Jin together, but Xiangxue was a woman with a narrow mind. She felt that Tao Ran had harmed her, but she hated Tao Ran intently.
Although Tao Ran bought the shop on the South Street, he didn't dare to make any noise. He even spent money to the house's books, for fear that the "old things" in the house would know that they would break the big deal of finding their keys.
In fact, Tao Ran was not interested in the so-called treasure pot and the golden light, because he grew up in this merchant family, and no one knew better than him what was meant by the pretentious silence. What's more, he also went to see the so-called treasure pot in person, but he didn't say it.
It was just a message from outside: saying that this treasure was born in heaven is a sign of great prosperity in the world. After all, there were very few people who had truly seen the so-called treasure pot when they came to Tao Jin. After all, few people believed in what the children they had seen said!
So the story of this treasure pot is becoming more and more mysterious outside, saying that whoever got the store needs to be destined to get the treasure pot.
Tao Ran was still satisfied with such rumors because he thought that he would find the key in the future and then sell the land at a high price. After all, if he bought it for 20,000 taels of silver, he would be in pain if he let it rot in his hands.
Tao Jin really had the money, and thought it was time for him to show his strength, so he was naturally happy. Yuchi Gong was happy for Tao Jin. After all, a wasteful shop could buy 20,000 taels of silver, which was a sky-high price!
Because Xiangxue left, there were only Tao Jin and the others left in the winery, and there were no taboos in speaking. Yuanbao couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, Uncle Yuchi, what you said last time, can you tell Yuanbao this time! My hair is going to turn white when I waited!" As he said that, he reached out to touch his head, as if Tao Jin and Yuchi Gong wouldn't reveal the secret to him, his hair would be as white as if it would be.
Tao Jin glanced at the little red key hanging on his chest and smiled and said, "In this way, I will tell you, so that you won't lose your hair white! But, you want to sound from where, there are many secrets!"
Yuanbao smiled and said, "Of course it sounds from scratch!" Yuanbao said without thinking.
"Okay, Yuanbao, I'll ask you, if there is no such treasure pot, can our shop on South Street be sold?" Tao Jin stretched, loosened his muscles and bones, and asked.
"Of course, this cannot be. There are dead people there. If there is anyone, the price will be extremely low, and it will not be as high as the price the young master sells now!" Although Yuanbao is loyal, he is not a fool, so he is also very polite.
Yuchi Gong took over the conversation and said, "That's it. If this store is a treasure land, the price will naturally be different, just like now!"
Yuanbao felt enlightened and pondered for a while before lowering his voice and said, "Can the treasure pot and the golden light be made by you, the young master, just to sell that store?"
Tao Jin nodded with satisfaction, and Yuchi Gong also smiled and said, "You kid, you are a clever one!"
Yuanbao said in his heart that I am smart here and there. I was stimulated by this young master who is not like the young master. After all, no matter how abnormal the matter is, it is possible to happen!
Although Yuanbao had guessed that it was auspiciousness made by Tao Jin and the others in his heart, there was still a mystery in his heart. He couldn't help asking: "But when the auspiciousness appeared that day, Young Master and Uncle Yuchi, are you both at home? And that golden basin also grew from the ground?"
After hearing this, Yuchi Gong pointed at Tao Jin with his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to know this, you have to ask your young master. I am just helping him, and he came up with the idea!"
Yuanbao's face was eager for the truth, and Tao Jin smiled helplessly and said, "In fact, it's not a big deal. The so-called golden light is just a rosin burning. As for why we were all there at that time, there were miracles in the shop. It was just that I found some white phosphorus and added it to the rosin. The white phosphorus is flammable. Once it was moved, the rosin naturally caught. The weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. It's not a strange thing! What's more, I secretly added lime to the shop during the day. It was hot, but the moisture was heavy at night. When the moisture encountered the lime, it was just right to catch it at that night."
"Young Master, aren't you afraid of burning the shop?" After hearing this, Yuanbao admired Tao Jin's wonderful thoughts, but he still asked worriedly.
"Of course not. Although the rosin will rise together, I have heard you say that the rosin is burning, but there is not even a little heat. Since there is no heat, it can't let other things burn together!" Although it is a very simple truth, Tao Jin still explained the truth in detail, because these modern and simple knowledge were not known in the Tang Dynasty, after all, there was a time between them!
"Oh, this rosin is used like this, I have gained some knowledge!" Although Yuchi Gong has been helping Tao Jin to do these things, he didn't know why. At this moment, he suddenly realized it.
"What's going on with that basin growing out of the ground?" After Tao Jin explained the golden light, Yuanbao became more and more curious and asked hurriedly.
"That's even simpler. I bought a few pieces of pig urine bag, then stored water in it, took the seeds of the beans, added them, buried them in the soil, and the beans sprouted, so they naturally went up to the pot. And when the pot came out like this, others could not find the bean sprouts, because they were still wrapped in the pig urine bag. When the pig urine bag rotted, the matter of the treasure pot would be over!" Tao Jin briefly told the secret of the treasure pot. Yuanbao slapped his head and said, "Young Master, your hand is much better than those scammers in the martial arts world. They can't come up with such a brilliant idea!"
Tao Jin couldn't help but twitch, because the praise that Yuanbao said didn't seem to be praising people no matter how much he heard, but it seemed to be saying: He is a lie who is even more capable than that charlatan!
Although Yuanbao's words sound bad, Yuchi Gong and Yuanbao both admire Tao Jin quite much. Because the key does not have the idea of Tao Jin, the shop will definitely not be able to sell such an effect.
"But Master, you sold this shop to the second master. Wouldn't that cheat him?" Yuan Baole suddenly asked after he passed.
Tao Jin knew that it was time for him to correct the Yuanbao’s thoughts, so he stopped evading and said directly: “Yuanbao, can you tell that Xiangxue knew Tao Ran?”
"I can see this Yuanbao, but does this have anything to do with cheating the Second Young Master? The Second Young Master is a good person. The Young Master should sell it to others. Why bother to cheat the Second Young Master!" Yuanbao said something a bit complaining, because in his heart Tao Ran was a good person.
"Yuanbao, you said that the second young master never goes to the brothel, how did he meet the courtesan of Wanhualou? Why does the courtesan Xiangxue still say good things to him everywhere?" Tao Jin asked one after another.
Yuchi Gong sighed and said, "Yuanbao, you are a good child, but some people are not! Why don't you think about it carefully, why didn't your second young master buy a shop with your young master sooner or later, but now you look for it? Even if he saw Tao Jin in trouble at first and wanted to help him, then the shop can be sold at a high price, why did he still have to buy it? And he has to sell it?"
"When you and I left the Tao family, I had no money on me. He was so kind to me, why didn't he even give me one or two taels of silver? Even if I forgot at that time, why didn't he know anything about it after so long? Later, when a life lawsuit was encountered in a shop on the South Street, why didn't he come forward? Haven't he heard of it? He didn't know about the case that King Qi came to hear the trial?" Tao Jin said one after another.
Yuanbao was asked so much that he couldn't speak. After thinking for a while, he said, "That's how he knows people and faces but not the heart! Young Master, since you have known that he is such a person, why don't you remind Yuanbao?"
Tao Jin took a deep breath and said, "I just said that you must believe it! Think about these things carefully. You have to figure out everything yourself, otherwise you will be deceived sooner or later!"
Yuanbao nodded and said cautiously: "Yuanbao will have more brains in the future. Don't worry, young master. It's not easy for young master to have today. Yuanbao will definitely not mess with the young master's affairs!"
Seeing Yuanbao say this, Tao Jin and Yuchi Gong both breathed a sigh of relief. Tao Jin looked at the dilapidated wine shop and said, "Starting tomorrow, this wine shop needs to be repaired well. I want this place to become the best restaurant in Chang'an!"
"Don't talk about any restaurant. It's true that you send us a meal seriously first!" Yuchi Gong pushed Tao Jin into the kitchen in a few strokes.
Tao Jin smiled bitterly in the kitchen and thought to himself: A good man can’t enter the kitchen, and he can’t come out after entering!
This was the first time in many days that the three of them were so happy. Tao Jin held a small wine glass in his mouth and looked at Yuchi Gong with his eyes squinted and said, "Brother, you are a hero. I know you can't stay here either, but I hope you can listen to your brother!" Tao Jin was a little drunk at this time. After all, in this strange dynasty, he dug out the first pot of gold in his life. How could he not be excited and how could he not drink too much? Only when he drank too much would he dare to vent his confusion in his heart, vent his various fears in his heart, and let go of the pressure imposed on himself in his heart, and live out the pressure of superiors in the Tang Dynasty.
Yuchi Gong also drank too much, because of the hidden depression and self-loving laughter in his heart for many days, he had already removed all of it. He sighed and said, "Hero, what kind of hero I am, I am just a coward without a battlefield!"
"Brother, I know someone, a master. He said that the Qin King Li Shimin is about to have trouble, brother can go and save him!" Tao Jin said with the alcohol.
"The King of Qin is in trouble? Where do you start?" Just Tao Jin's words, Yuchi Gong woke up halfway through the wine and asked hurriedly.
