Eleven It’s Not About Money

Liu Shengshuangyue’s craftsmanship is very good, she is also beautiful, and has a calm personality. Her family is rich, and the money deposited in the shogunate is enough to live comfortably for two lifetimes. With such a favorable condition, people can’t help but rush to hug her. Stay on the thigh and say, ‘I have a bad stomach, so I can only eat soft rice’.

In fact, Bai Wei is indeed eating soft food at the moment.

She is responsible for all household expenses.

When I felt bad, I wanted to help with some housework, but she stopped me and said, “The head of the family shouldn’t focus on these small things.”

Every time at this time, Bai Wei would shake his head and say – my surname is not Liu Sheng.

Every time at this time, Liu Shengshuangyue’s expression would be a bit sad.

It is inevitable that brothers and sisters will have differences. After all, children will grow up and have to go out.

It’s just that in the current situation, it is Bai Wei himself who will be kicked out.

Bai Wei can also understand his own thoughts in the past. When he was a mentor, a group of little kids under him were all fed up with S and piss. Thinking that the cabbage he raised was beaten by some pig, he felt very sad. It must be uncomfortable.

…So I am the cabbage?

After lunch, Liu Shengshuangyue, who was packing up the dishes, suddenly stopped and turned off the faucet.

“Someone is outside the door.” She said.Bai Wei looked sideways at the courtyard wall and the main entrance, which were more than 30 meters away.

Ding dong… Three seconds later, the doorbell rang.

After wiping his hands, Liu Shengshuangyue said, “Brother, sit down, I’ll open the door.”

The doorbell rang several times in a row, but not frequently.

Shuangyue held a kitchen knife and walked towards the main entrance. The knife she had just used to make fish fillets was still dripping with blood.

There were two people outside the door, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses, and carrying a briefcase; the other was also wearing a suit, but his physique was obviously not suitable for the suit. Under the shirt were muscles that needed to stretch the shirt.

The middle-aged man was about to speak, but when he saw Shuangyue’s unfriendly expression and the kitchen knife dripping blood in his hand, he took half a step back as if fainted from blood.

“What’s the matter?” Liu Shengshuangyue remained expressionless.

“You, hello… I am Tianyu Construction Company…”

“Not interested!” Liu Shengshuangyue was about to close the door, letting the other party shut the door.

The muscular man beside Yamada raised his eyebrows and was about to say something.

“Frost Moon.” Bai Wei sat on the porch, basking in the sun with open palms: “You might as well let the other side come in, the person who comes is a guest… There is still a cup of tea.”

Liu Shengshuangyue turned around, she didn’t want to deal with this group of people at all, but when her brother asked, she chose to obey without hesitation, and backed away half a step.

“Please come in.”

Yamada took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then walked in with a nod and bow.

He came to the living room, knelt and sat on the tatami, and sighed, “It’s such a big house, do you only live in two people?”

After finishing speaking, he handed out a business card: “Hi, I’m Yamada, and I’m in charge of the company’s land acquisition business.”

Liu Shengshuangyue was about to make tea.

But Bai Wei signaled no need, and he took the initiative to do it himself.

The Japanese tea ceremony originated from Chaozhou, Guangdong, China, and originated from Gongfu tea, but the form is more cumbersome and requires a special tea room for tea tasting. It is too particular, and instead loses the original connotation of Gongfu tea, because the original meaning of Gongfu tea It means ‘drink while it’s hot’… Of course, the high temperature of Gongfu tea can easily burn the esophagus, leading to a high incidence of esophageal cancer, so it’s better to drink less.

Bai Wei only uses the simplest method of making tea, but even the simple method of making tea is also particular.

Cleaning hands, washing pots, entering the palace, brewing, brushing face, sealing pots, dividing cups, returning pots, serving tea.

There is no need to pursue every process too well. Whether the tea is good or not depends on the tea in the end.

The tea ceremony is to cultivate one’s own sentiments, so the process is mainly based on personal habits, and fluency is the most important thing. If you can pour yourself and drink yourself, you can count as an introduction.

Liu Shengshuangyue’s eyes widened. She never knew that her brother had this ability. This skillful and smooth technique seems to be a master of tea tasting. It is more natural than the tea ceremony she learned for two or three years when she was young. It’s like drinking it for decades.

“Please use it.” Bai Wei presented twice as much light-colored tea: “Ming’s tea is not green.”

Yamada picked up the teacup, took a sip, and let out a mouthful of hot air: “Good tea…but it’s a little hot.”

“You can’t drink hot tea in a hurry. It’s an ancient motto in the Ming Dynasty.” Bai Wei smiled: “Let me introduce myself, I’m from the Ming Dynasty…but I think you should already know it.”

“Ming people and Yingzhou people are not important.” Yamada smiled politely: “You are the young master of this family, so you have the final say.”

“To be precise, it’s a ‘temporary guardian’.” Bai Wei corrected.

“Yes yes yes… I came this time just to communicate. I wonder if Mr. Bai plans to sell such a large piece of land?” Yamada patted his chest: “The price must be enough!”

Bai Wei smiled, picked up his teacup, and blew out: “It’s not appropriate for you to ask me.”

“What’s inappropriate for you to be the head of the house?” Yamada seemed to be somewhat machismo, and didn’t really care about Yagyu Shimotsuki’s opinion.

The legacy of the Taisho era, or in other words, bad habits.

Bai Wei eloquently said: “The Liusheng family used to be a well-known swordsman with a school plaque. More than half of such a large house is used for teaching disciples.”

“But that’s all in the past.”

“It’s in the past, but my sister’s talent is extremely high, so there may not be no chance to reopen.” Bai Wei put down his teacup: “She is currently studying at the branch of Chikook University in the old Edo, and her academic qualifications are sufficient.”

Yamada shook his head and laughed: “Master, what you said is a little underestimating kendo. There are only five kendo halls in the old Edo, and all of them have a large number of disciples, but their reputation is from the imperial competition. It’s typed… It’s not that I underestimate Miss Yagyu, she is still too young, and she must not have been granted a general biography and a teacher or a teacher’s generation in this genre.”

“Indeed not.”

“That’s it… The general issued the sword hunting order, and there are only a few warriors who can walk with real swords, and there are only a few swordsmen who have been recognized by the shogunate… The dojo is the same, there is no genre plaque granted by the general. Open the museum, otherwise it will be closed down by the shogunate.”

Yamada was a little dry, took another sip of tea, and continued: “If you want to be qualified to open a museum, you need a genre plaque, and if you want a genre plaque, you have to participate in the Imperial Competition, and the Imperial Competition is also very strict. , either is a swordsman wearing a real sword, or has been recommended by a gymnasium, in both cases, Ms. Yagyu is not suitable.”

“I remember there is still a trial.” Bai Wei glanced at Shuangyue, and the eldest girl was sitting upright, turning a deaf ear.

“No, no, no, the trials are only for ordinary people. Even if you get the top few places, if you want to advance, you have to get the recommendation qualification.Who is the nomination qualification? It’s the judges! Who are the judges? It’s those gymnasiums, or the famous swordsmen in the world. Yamada said seriously: “Without the recommendation of these people, even if you are selected for the main match, you will usually abstain immediately. Do you know why?” Because of the real knife! ”

“When it comes to the main match, they all compete with real swords. If you haven’t experienced the battle of real swords, it is absolutely impossible to defeat those old monsters who have experienced many battles.”

“Even if you’re lucky and survived a few rounds, what then?”

“If you want to get the genre plaque and be recognized by the general, you have to win the top three!”

“Top three!”

Yamada’s expression and tone were very exaggerated, he asserted.

“Impossible, now the top three are all surrounded by gyms and sword masters, and many great swordsmen are from those gyms, you either join, or don’t even think about dividing it from them A piece of the pie, so it has been more than ten years, and no one can get a genre plaque.”

When a privileged class emerges, the first thing they do, apart from sitting on the ground to divide up the benefits, is to block the means of promotion for others. If they cannot completely block it, they will also pull the other party into their camp.

The same is true for the so-called Gymnasium quota.

“So?” Bai Wei looked at Yamada with a sincere expression: “You mean, let us give up?”

“It’s not ashamed to give up.” Yamada said earnestly, “It’s more important to examine Duodu. Don’t you have the heart to watch your sister fight in the field of life and death where swords have no eyes? Just in case something unexpected happens…”

Bai Wei nodded: “What you said is correct, but this is between us, what does it matter to you?”

“Master Bai.” Yamada straightened his body: “Our Tianyu Construction Company really wants this land. In the future, many high-rise buildings will be built here, and new business centers and even department stores will be built here. Stare! There are only two people living in such a big place. It is too extravagant in Yingzhou, where every inch of land is expensive! There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty, if you are innocent, you will be guilty, and you are like holding a shining jade in your arms. Pearl, someone will definitely covet it.”

“You’re one of them?” Bai Wei smiled, this person was surprisingly honest.

“I am! But I am willing to buy at a high price!” Yamada said seriously: “250 million yen! It is a figure that I have used all the working capital of the marketing department here. If you are satisfied, we will sign today!” He said Opening the briefcase, a huge sum of money was written on the contract: “I’m serious!”

In Yingzhou, where the economy is developing rapidly, 250 million is indeed not a small sum, it is a lot to give.

However, it is still too little. Compared with the income that this piece of land can bring, the appreciation time of real estate is still more than 50 years.

So this amount is too small. It is worth at least seven E. Once it is sold, the investor will not even need five years to get back the capital.

Bai Wei smiled and poured two cups of tea: “It’s really not about money. This is my sister’s home. She is like a brother to me.”

He said lightly: “You need to pay more! Let’s get ten E’s first.”
