Chapter 887: A Trap
Below the river dam is an endless wheat field. Jiang Ning and Tongtong stroll along the gravel path in the field.
Tongtong gave her useless younger sister Siyu a lecture before putting her phone away. She claimed, "Siyu is so useless. If it were me, I would just pick up a stick and beat the criminals."
After saying that, she grasped the wooden stick and made a few loud swings with it. She thought that her power was so amazing that all the demons and monsters retreated.
Yao Yiyao wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she could only applaud and praise her bravery.
Jiang Ning had no scruples. He sneered, "You?"
His tone was extremely contemptuous, which made Xue Yuantong furious. She tilted her head and looked up: "Me? What's wrong?"
Jiang Ning said happily: "If you go there and get your shoes wet, no one will know."
Yao Yiyao was stunned. She really couldn't hold it in anymore and her shoulders trembled with laughter.
Xue Yuantong was furious. He picked up a wooden stick and vowed to teach Jiang Ning a lesson and let him taste his power!
Jiang Ning was too lazy to pay attention to her. He picked up the bucket, and moved forward.
Xue Yuantong chased after him with all his might with his short legs, laughing wildly.
As they ran further and further away, Yao Yiyao shouted, "Wait for me!"
……
North of the river dam.
Li Han was fishing quietly, but his heart was not at peace.
The girl he admired went away with another handsome boy.
He turned his head and looked at the green wheat field in the distance. For some reason, at this moment, he felt that the wheat field was somewhat familiar.
Anxious about his appearance, he took out his cell phone, opened the selfie camera, and looked at his appearance.
Li Qingyang next to him said "Yoho" with a half-smile.
Li Han thought about what others had said about him in the past: "down-to-earth" and "good-looking", so he thought to himself that he must be quite good-looking, right?
"Sister Qing, I look pretty good, so why do I look so ugly in the camera?" Li Han wondered.
A friend said: "Damn, with the iPhone camera, who can take a selfie that doesn't look ugly?"
Li Qingyang stretched out his hand and said, "Let me try?"
She took the phone and saw that the girl on the screen had clean skin, which looked even smoother and brighter under the bright sunlight. Her facial features were very coordinated. She raised her eyebrows, and her mirror image immediately changed from being quiet to being playful.
That friend said, "It's Qingjie, you are pretty."
Li Han's face darkened, "What do you mean, I'm not good-looking, right?"
He immediately retorted: "But when I looked in the mirror, I felt that I was getting more handsome, didn't I?"
That friend said, “The you in the mirror is not the real you?”
Li Han: "The person in the mirror is not me, who is he?"
Seeing that there was a trend of debate, Li Qingyang, as the big sister in the circle, just wanted to fish quietly.
Li Qingyang thought for a few seconds and said, "There's nothing to argue about. Whether it's the front of the phone or the mirror, they are all flat people, but you in reality are three-dimensional, which can better reflect your image in people's eyes."
Li Han wondered: "So the three-dimensional me might be better looking than the me in the mirror?"
Li Qingyang herself was not sure, so she gave an ambiguous answer: "Maybe."
Li Han was in a very good mood and thought that Li Qingyang spoke very nicely and was worthy of being the big sister in the circle.
The imbalance in his heart became balanced: "My appearance is still..."
He wanted to say that he was as handsome as Jiang Ning just now.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingyang just glanced at him indifferently. Li Han suddenly felt guilty, as if he had been seen through.
He choked on the rest of his words.
……
Xue family courtyard, kitchen.
Jiang Ning ran fast, so he entered the door first. Xue Chuchu, who was wearing an apron, turned her face and smiled faintly at Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong followed closely behind. She forgot to hit Jiang Ning and pointed at the bucket on the ground, shouting, "Chu Chu, look, I caught a big grass carp, more than three pounds, you are in for a treat!"
Xue Chuchu moved to observe, and sure enough, there was a big brown-yellow fish in the bucket, but there was a dent on the fish head.
She wondered, “Is the fish injured?”
Xue Yuantong immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it is seriously injured. Let's use the oil pan to treat it. I want to be a medic today!"
At this point, Yao Yiyao also walked into the house. In the past, she always acted like a little princess in front of outsiders, walking slowly, but she could no longer act like that in front of Jiang Ning and the others.
Yao Yiyao said cautiously: "This is a guide fish!"
After that, she told them everything she had seen and heard by the river as a warning to them.
She caught the guide fish, but she felt a little taboo in her heart. After all, she had been influenced by traditional concepts since childhood, and it was still difficult for her to break through the traditional concepts all of a sudden.
Xue Chuchu was thoughtful and could see through her concerns. Like many people, they believed that everything would disappear into thin air after death. But if he was given 100 yuan and asked to sleep in a mass grave at night, he would probably still feel scared. This kind of thing is deeply engraved in the genes of the Chinese people.
But everything has a limit. If you get 10,000 for a night's sleep, then staying overnight every day is no big deal... Well, that's not right. Tongtong shouldn't dare to do that.
Xue Chuchu said: "There are several reasons why fish float to the surface, such as lack of oxygen, fish floating up to breathe, illness or injury, etc..."
She chose to explain it scientifically.
Tongtong pecked at the little head and said: "Yeah, the guide fish is to lead people. The one that can be caught is not a guide fish."
"Okay." Yao Yiyao's fear disappeared. She looked at Xue Chuchu and found that Xue Chuchu was really rational, very scientific and principle-oriented, and much more mature than her peers.
Tongtong said proudly: "It is because I am so lucky that this fish came to me when I was fishing!"
Xue Chuchu: "Yeah, you are what the ancients called the child of destiny!"
Yao Yiyao was helpless and thought: "Okay, it's actually not mature at all."
……
Tongtong and Chuchu were cooking in the kitchen. Jiang Ning had nothing to do, so he moved his small tea table to the door.
Logically speaking, his behavior of not caring about things would easily lead to condemnation from the person who cooks, and might even cause a family conflict, but Tongtong even wished he would leave so that she could sneak a few ribs.
It is a rare enjoyment to enjoy the pastoral scenery with a cup of tea, a plate of pistachios and the warm sunshine.
"This stove is quite nice." Yao Yiyao took a look at it. It was a charcoal stove. It looked very delicate and compact, with elegant calligraphy painted on the surface. It was much better than the somewhat old teapot on the stove.
Jiang Ning: "It looks good, doesn't it? I bought it from Taobao for 79, including shipping."
As for the old teapot in Yao Yiyao's eyes, it was given to him by Ding Shuyan. It was rumored to be the work of a certain master and was worth a lot of money.
But, money doesn’t matter. What’s important is that Jiang Ning wants to see an attitude.
He really appreciated Ding Shuyan's attitude of valuing him.
No matter what master's work it is, Jiang Ning uses it directly to make milk tea. The tea leaves grown in Huqi Mountain are combined with mountain spring water and milk produced by air-transported heifers. The aroma of tea is simply overflowing.
Soon, Yao Yiyao had no time to speak, as she was afraid that saliva would flow out if she opened her mouth.
At this time, a black Audi A6 slowly stopped in the west, the door opened, and several men got out. The middle-aged man in the lead had a greasy face and was wearing an Arc'teryx down jacket. Even with the down jacket, it still couldn't hide his potbelly.
He said to a thin middle-aged man next to him, "Director Han is invited!"
Director Han is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with curly hair and deep eye sockets, which does not look like a common ethnic group.
Director Han forced a smile: "Director Li, you said his specialty dishes are good. If they don't taste good, I'll have to make you drink a few more glasses!"
Director Li's greasy face immediately showed complacency: "Director Han, I know your taste. I never eat big fish or meat. This restaurant is famous for their mushroom dish. I guarantee you will never forget the taste after eating it!"
Director Li is from the power system, but the Director Han next to him is the leader of the orthodox municipal bureau. Recently, with the support of Changqing Liquid, Yuzhou has become ambitious and is planning to build strategic cooperation with regional central cities.
There was also a middle-aged man in a suit following them. He was obviously half a step behind the two of them. After all, most companies, unlike Changqingye, which possesses core technologies, can only rely on policies and have an average status.
A few people walked forward while talking. Before they reached the door of Xue's house, they immediately smelled a strong fragrance of tea. Director Han's eyes flashed suddenly and he stared at Jiang Ning and the other person who were drinking tea at the door.
Director Li also looked over. He was visibly startled and immediately asked, "Yaoyao?"
Yao Yiyao had already discovered him. This person was Li Han's father, a very greasy man, and his gaze was very uncomfortable. However, he was very smart and powerful. He used to be her grandfather's subordinate, but later he held a higher position than her grandfather.
Yao Yiyao's attitude was neither hot nor cold: "Hello, Uncle Li."
Uncle Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Ning beside Yao Yiyao, wondering: "Could it be that Yaoyao has a boyfriend?"
He said nothing on the surface.
But he saw Director Han approaching and looking at the purple clay teapot on the tea stove, and he was shocked: "It's exactly like it! It's so similar!"
One of his hobbies in life was eating vegetarian food, and his second hobby was collecting tea sets. Whenever he had distinguished guests, he would show them off.
Until he met that woman, Lin Han, the general manager of Ancheng Linzhongsheng Group's investment in Yuzhou. She was also a tea set lover and collected Longquan celadon tea sets, etc. She was very famous in Ancheng.
Once when she visited his home and helped him appreciate tea sets, Lin Han looked around and left without saying a word.
From then on, Director Han started bragging to others about my collection, saying, "Lin Han has seen it and couldn't say anything!"
As a result, Director Han became more confident in his own vision.
The tea set in front of you is, as expected, the work of Master Gu, who is known as one of the Seven Masters of Purple Clay!
That is the work of Master Gu! He is known in the antique pot and antique world. He has been rigorous all his life. Many relatives wanted to become his apprentices, but he refused because he only accepted apprentices who could meet his standards. He was so strict in accepting apprentices, and even more strict in craftsmanship!
Director Han observed it carefully and found that the purple clay teapot was delicate and elegant, with natural curves and seamless joints, as if it was naturally formed, and the charm was truly pleasing!
"It's genuine, absolutely genuine!" Director Han said with a smile.
Director Li next to him is a smart man. He was able to climb from a small fry to a leadership position. His IQ and EQ are absolutely outstanding.
He knew Director Han's hobbies, so what moved the other party was naturally the purple clay teapot in front of him.
Helping leaders solve problems is what Director Li is good at. He smiled and said, "The tea stove is nice, with an antique flavor. The young man has good taste!"
Yao Yiyao was a little confused. She didn't know what Uncle Li was planning and couldn't guess.
You know, her father, a veteran who worked on construction sites, was treated like a dog by Uncle Li in the past.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I bought this tea stove at the flower and bird market. I spent more than 2,000 yuan on it!"
Director Li was shocked. How could this young man, who lived in a shabby bungalow, be so capable?
A tea stove worth more than two thousand!
But he still smiled and said in a friendly manner: "You have good taste, it is indeed worth two thousand!"
Yao Yiyao was a little confused: "Didn't Jiang Ning just say that it was 79 yuan on Taobao with free shipping?"
Director Li said: "You can spend so much money to buy a small stove, you must be a tea lover, haha!"
He was in no hurry at all and stayed there chatting leisurely.
After chatting for a while, Director Li had already said that the boy described by Jiang Ning must be a dragon among men, destined to have an extraordinary future. Finally, he changed the subject and proposed:
"Young man, to be honest, I like your tea stove, too. I wonder if you can bear the pain and part with it. You can raise the price?"
Jiang Ning blurted out: "Five thousand."
Director Li looked very sad and said, "What a loss!"
Jiang Ning: "I found this with great difficulty. There is no other one left."
After a round of bargaining, 4000 yuan was deposited into Jiang Ning's WeChat account.
Yao Yiyao couldn't believe it: "Ah, a 79 yuan tea stove was sold for 4000 yuan?"
Or sell it to the extremely cunning Uncle Li, damn it!
After receiving the tea stove, Director Li said casually, "Your teapot is a good match. Alas, I've lost a lot today. Please give me the teapot. It will be perfect for use with the stove."
As soon as these words were spoken, Director Han next to him was overjoyed. He thought that Xiao Li was indeed capable of doing things!
He could almost imagine the scene of inviting guests to appreciate the purple clay teapot after getting it.
But Jiang Ning said slowly: "How can that be possible? This teapot of mine is the work of Master Gu, it is very valuable!"
After he finished speaking, Director Li was stunned, and Director Han next to him was also dumbfounded.
Director Li paused for a moment, then asked in confusion: "You know the teapot is an antique?"
Jiang Ning said as a matter of course: "Yes, otherwise how could my tea stove be sold at such a high price?"
Director Li originally thought that he was just a young man who was very easy to fool. He could cheat him out of his good things and then turn them around to please Director Han. As for the psychological burden, he had none at all. Does this guy deserve it?
Who would have thought! After hunting wild geese all his life, he was blinded by a wild goose!
"Refund, refund!"
Director Li was really hurt. He rolled up his sleeves and glared at the enemy. His leadership aura was instantly revealed. This was the intimidation of power!
Jiang Ning said coldly: "The transaction is a matter of mutual consent. Since you want to go back on your word, I can only call my little dog out."
Director Li laughed, "You let the puppy bite me, didn't you? Young people are really interesting!"
"Little Stupid." Jiang Ning called.
In an instant, Xiaoben ran out from the butcher Zhang's house next door.
Director Li looked at the half-human-tall, burly and ferocious black-backed wolfhound in front of him. His eyes were confused. How dare you tell me this is a puppy?
