Lord of the Desert

Chapter 133 Kindness
The ninth day of February.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

Ethnology rests today.

Just after Hong Fu had breakfast, Tao Hong summoned him to Asahi Court.

Early in the morning everyone is busy.

Aunt Liu starches and washes clothes, and Mrs. Tang takes care of the white disaster.

Hong Fan was sitting in the pavilion, just waiting for Hong Fu to come over.

"Yesterday I went to meet with the coach, and I didn't bother you when I saw you were practicing."

He stretched out his hand to guide the little fat man to sit down and chatted.

"How is your martial arts cultivation now?"

"Eighty percent of the pulse surface has been soaked, and it's almost at the top."

Hong Fu regained his confidence.

Since he had the backing of Hong Fan, he has improved significantly faster than before, and now he is also in the forefront of ethnology.

"Brother Fan, don't worry, although I don't have any ambitions, things in ethnology will never be ambiguous."

Hong Fu patted his chest and said.

Hong Fan believed what he said.

The little fat man loves to play by nature, and he doesn't have the habit of extra training on holidays, but at least the teaching arrangements are never compromised.

"That's fine."

Hong Fan nodded.

"Play when it's time to play, and study hard when it's time to learn."

"Don't let your mother down."

He said hello to Liu Lu, and took out a big wooden box from the back room.

After opening it, inside is Danxiang meat medicine packaged on the above-mentioned good paper.

"Push the palace pill, induce the fragrance of blood, gather Qi pill."

Hong Fan said while pointing.

"And I used the leftover chisel-tooth jerky and cistanche, both of which are top grade."

Then, he introduced the usage and precautions of these things in detail.

"The amount of things is not much, but it should be enough for one person to use for eight or nine months; if you take it easy, it can last for a year."

Hong Fan said it lightly.

But Hong Fu had been to the Jiaotong Hall to help with errands, so he knew the unit price of these things in front of him very well.

After adding up, it is worth at least one hundred and forty fifty taels of silver.

"These things are all yours."

Hong Fan closed the lid and pushed the wooden box to the opposite side of the stone table.

Rao Hong Fu had already expected it in his heart, but he was still stunned when he heard this.

He had never received such a large gift in his life.

"what happened?"

Hong Fan asked with a smile.

"Nothing..."

Hong Fu replied in a low voice.

He turned his face sideways, covered his eyes with his palms, and his movements were rather hasty.

"The wind and sand are too big, and you lose your eyes if you are not careful."

Hong Fan didn't tease him anymore, but just waited quietly.

After a long while, Hong Fu adjusted his mood, only his eyes were still slightly red.

"According to your progress, plus these outer edges, you should be able to reach the penetrating realm soon."

Hong Fan continued talking, and ordered Liu Lu to fetch two hot towels.

"When the time comes to study ethnology, what do you plan to do?"

"Brother Fan, you know me."

Hong Fu scalded his face with a towel and replied.

"He's timid and has no brains, so he doesn't look like he's made for great things."

"I've been discussing this with my mother recently. I plan to go to the state capital to follow Pan Bo in the future. It's more stable than Zhu Yiqi, and the salary is also higher."

Hong Fan nodded in approval.

He will definitely be going to the state capital in the future - the golden sea is too shallow to support his development.

If Hong Fu also went to Xijing, he would still be able to take care of him a little bit, and he would have one more friend.

······
On the same day, at noon.

Seven or eight young children from aristocratic families went to the private seat of Du Kangju together noisily, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant followed to greet him.

Hong Fu was among them, and was elected to sit at the head.

After all, who doesn't know that Fu Geer, the third wife of the Hong family, is Jin Haixing-jun's closest brother.

Under the special arrangement of the shopkeeper, the table of wine and food was quickly filled with priority.

Everyone ate for a while, when their mouths were full of oil, they saw Hong Fu shaking his head and sighing.

"I ate this dish in my mouth today, why is it a bit tasteless?"

The little fat man frowned, wondering.

"Young Master Fu thinks it's too salty?"

Although the others didn't eat it, since it was Hong Fu who said it, a clever kid from Chi's family immediately got up and asked someone to ask.

Hong Fu hurriedly stopped him.

"I can save it, it's not about the food."

He felt suddenly enlightened.

"It's the jerky I ate in the morning!"

"What kind of jerky, can it damage your tongue?"

Hong Qing who was sitting on the side asked.

This question is scratching Hong Fu's itch.

"It's the jerky with chiseled teeth sold in the traffic hall. It's a strange beast."

The little fat man introduced it very smoothly, as if he had memorized the manuscript in advance.

"The jerky is as hard as hell, but after chewing for a long time, there is always an aftertaste in your mouth."

"It is said that it can strengthen the physical body and increase blood."

All of you here are the children of rich families, how could you not have heard of chisel teeth?
"This chisel-tooth jerky is precious!"

Hong Qing asked in surprise.

"Young Master Fu, this is a big deal!"

"I definitely didn't buy it myself. How can I have the money?"

Hong Fu waved his hand.

"I'll tell you about this, don't go out and spread the word."

"It's not that my brother, Fan, has entered the Chaotic Realm. Those martial arts resources before are not worthy..."

Hong Fu opened his voice, speaking in a whisper that he was afraid the neighbors would not hear.

"He called me in this morning. A large box of pills worth less than 200 taels of silver was given to me!"

"Even if I use it extravagantly, I can use it for at least a year or two."

As soon as these blatantly bragging words were uttered, the food and drink in everyone's mouths were immediately tasteless.

Stares of envy, jealousy and hatred surrounded Hong Fu.

The little fat man's face was indifferent, but his heart was bubbling with beauty.

"Oh, if only I had such a brother..."

For a moment, the private room was full of such sighs.

After drinking and eating, everyone left the table one after another.

Hong Fu paid the bill with a red face, leaving Hong Qing alone until the end.

The latter had been promoted to the Guantong Realm a few years ago, and Zhu Yiqi was destined to go, but he couldn't join the team immediately because he still needed to practice bow and horse.

In the private room, Hong Fu closed the door, took out a small wooden box, and handed it to Hong Qing.

Inside are two Tui Gong pills of medium quality.

"Young Master Fu, this is?"

Hong Qing asked.

"The tuigong pills I got from Fan Ge'er are all top-notch products, so I don't need to use the benefits of this family's students."

Hong Fu replied with a smile.

"I thought that if you joined Zhu Yiqi, it would be inevitable that you would be killed by swords and swords. From now on, I will transfer the monthly share to you."

Hong Qing was very excited when he heard this.

He was also born as a concubine from a poor family.

Two tui gong pills a month cost at least four or five taels of silver to buy outside.

Even if he joined Zhu Yiqi, it would definitely not be a small sum of money.

"Brother Fu, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

As Hong Qing said, he stood up and saw that there was not a single drop of wine left in the jug, so he took the teapot and poured two cups.

Hong Fu took the cup, but put his hand on his shoulder.

"If you want to remember, don't forget me, this Tui Gong Wan must be counted as given to you by Brother Fan!"

"Brother Qing, let me tell you what I said earlier. You have a short mouth to eat people. If something happens to Brother Fan in the future, you have to really go for it!"

The little fat man said, rarely serious.

"I didn't say that, I know!"

Hong Qing replied without thinking.

"Brother Fan is the star king of our family, and I have been favored by him; even if he murders and sets fire, robs a good family, rapes and plunders in the future, if he goes to rob a prison to save him, I must be the one!"

Hong Fu smiled when he heard this.

"That's right, that's what it means!"

He said, and Hong Qing replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all in a toast.
