Chapter 78 [Although there is only a bowl of broth, it can benefit one party]

Since ancient times, most commercial transactions have had rules. It is said that if you ask for a high price, you can pay back the money. In fact, the opposite is true. I can raise the price that others have set.

This is my family's secret recipe, and you, Li Er, are Zhao Ning's relatives. Don't sell it. I'm sorry for Zhao Ning. I'll sell it to you. I'm sorry for my father...

So, you have to add money.

This statement seems to make sense anywhere.

Li Shimin frowned visibly, staring directly at Gu Tianya with a pair of tiger eyes, as if he wanted to see through Gu Tianya's mind, or as if he was wondering what Gu Tianya meant.

After a long time passed, Li Shimin slowly spoke and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, how much do you want to add? Remember, don't swallow the elephant."

This is what it means to agree.

Although he agreed verbally, his tone was very unpleasant. He stared at Gu Tianya fiercely with a pair of tiger eyes, looking like he wanted to beat you to death.

It's a pity that Gu Tianya didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled brightly and agreed repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I understand. The snake swallows the elephant. It's about the lack of people's hearts. As a person, you need to recognize your own position. You can't fantasize about those things.

Things beyond one’s ability…”

Li Shimin was so impressed that he couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya suddenly made a hey sound, stretched out three fingers towards Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Thirty percent."

"uh-huh!"

Li Shimin was obviously stunned and couldn't understand what he meant for a while.

But he is such a person, he can figure everything out almost instantly, so his face suddenly turned cold, and he occasionally shouted in a deep voice: "You have such a big appetite, and you are not afraid of eating too much? How dare you ask me for 30% of it?"

Why didn't you tell me to work for you for free?"

It turned out that what Gu Tianya wanted was not how much money he wanted at all, but what he wanted from Li Shimin's 30% stake in running the iron industry.

No wonder Li Shimin couldn't stand it any longer, and his face suddenly became angry.

But Gu Tianya was still smiling, and for some reason he seemed extremely relaxed. Suddenly, he slowly exhaled, looked at Li Shimin with a profound look on his face and said, "Thank you for being able to look up to me, and allow me to call you Li Er."

Brother, since you recognize me as my brother, I will not treat you as a fool. This 30% share is my bottom line. If you agree, then agree. If you are unhappy, we will break up. You don’t have to

For the sake of Zhao Ning, you can use all your methods to arrest me, whether it is torture, coercion or inducement, I will use all of them..."

The twist in what he said was too sharp, and the tone in the first half was so serious, but at the end he suddenly said, "I confess everything." Everyone was stunned, as if they were looking at a scoundrel.

Only Li Shimin frowned slightly, as if he didn't care about Gu Tianya's rogueness. Instead, his eyes were pensive. After a long time, he slowly spoke and asked tentatively: "Listening to what you just said, it seems that there is something in it? Could it be?

You can bring me greater benefits, so you dare to ask me for a 30% share."

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to test it, Gu Tianya just smiled with a smile on his face, neither explaining nor admitting.

After another long time passed like this, Li Shimin suddenly nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll give you 30%."

No one expected that he would actually agree.

Princess Changsun was obviously surprised, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang next to her were also surprised, and even Zhao Ning was also surprised, none of them could figure out why Li Shimin was like this.

Maybe Gu Tianya didn't know, but they knew that if Tiance Mansion started to operate the iron industry, the profits would be too great.

A 30% share would be a profit of millions.

With such a huge fortune, he actually agreed immediately.

Everyone thought Li Shimin's behavior was weird, and they also thought Gu Tianya's request was outrageous.

At this time, I suddenly heard Li Shimin speak slowly, as if he was being reminded: "With a 30% share of the iron industry, the income is indeed huge. If someone else were to deal with this matter, I'm afraid they would treat you as a poor, crazy boy, but I, Li Shimin, and

People are different, but I have to agree to your request..."

He paused as he spoke, and suddenly looked at Gu Tianya with deep meaning, and suddenly smiled and said: "Because I can guess that you have more than just the secret recipe of fine steel. Although you are annoying to me, your words and deeds are very clear.

With sincerity, one's eyes cannot deceive, because the gaze comes from the heart. Just now I asked you tentatively whether it would benefit me more. Although you didn't say it explicitly, you had confidence in your eyes, so

After a little hesitation, I became convinced that since you dare to ask me for 30% of my share, you must have a back-up plan that can satisfy me. I don’t know if my guess is correct..."

Gu Tianya didn't seem to understand and chose not to comment.

But Li Shimin was full of confidence and suddenly laughed and said: "Whether it is true or false, but I think it is true. In this case, I will bet. It is only a 30% share. It doesn't matter if I give it to you, even if you don't let me profit in the future."

Bigger, I have accepted this matter willingly. Even if I suffer a big loss, I will treat it as a dowry for my sister..."

As expected of Li Shimin, his writing is indeed very impressive.

The share of 30% of the iron industry must be at least one million yuan in revenue. He only dared to make a decision based on his guess. If he really lost, it would be regarded as a dowry for Zhao Ning.

The words were spoken openly and made people feel comfortable listening to them.

Gu Tianya finally reacted, suddenly raised his hands in a salute, and solemnly shouted: "Second brother."

This time, I didn’t add my last name and just called him second brother.

This kind of title is closeness.

Li Shimin looked at him deeply and joked slightly: "It turns out that you didn't recognize us until now."

Gu Tianya's face was solemn and he said softly: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."

Li Shimin was startled for a moment, then blurted out: "These words are wonderful and understand people's hearts."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Gu Tianya and said with great curiosity: "It's really strange, it's really strange. Your words and expressions are extremely concise, revealing the depth of worldly affairs. Looking at all the younger generations in the world, you are afraid that

It’s no less generous than those carefully cultivated scholars from aristocratic families.”

These words are clearly full of temptation.

It's a pity that Gu Tianya didn't take over.

He just raised his head and glanced at the sky, and suddenly opened his mouth to make an invitation: "Second brother has been traveling all the way, and he must be hungry. Although my younger brother's family is poor, there is still a bowl of fish soup. If you don't mind it, can you

Please come to the door."

Li Shimin was obviously startled, and suddenly turned around and pointed to the river. He was clearly pointing at the big pot, and asked curiously: "There is food here, why don't you invite me to try it? Yellow mutton soup is rarely seen in Guanzhong.

Very, I smell the rich aroma and really want to eat two bowls."

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya slowly shook his head and said as if he was a little guilty: "Although there is a lot of broth, it's a pity that there is an owner."

Li Shimin was startled again.

At this time, I could faintly hear the laughter of many women at the end of the village, but I saw them in twos and threes, with contented faces on their faces. They occasionally made jingling sounds as they walked, but they had a small string hanging on their waists.

The greasy copper coins obviously just received the wages for today's work, so the women's laughter sounded very happy.

Looking at them like this, they should be preparing to go home together after finishing work. However, they did not leave and instead walked towards this direction one after another.

At this time, dusk had passed and the sky was completely dark. However, Li Shimin's eyesight was very good and he vaguely saw that all the women were holding a bowl in their hands.

This posture is very clear, obviously he is here to get yellow mutton soup.

Li Shimin was slightly startled and couldn't help but asked curiously: "They have already eaten hot porridge, is it possible that they are not full?"

Princess Changsun next to her also had a curious look on her face, and couldn't help but said: "Normally, it shouldn't be done. That was porridge cooked in six large pots. How many women are there? There are no more than a hundred in total. Why do they still have to serve it?

When it comes to broth, do people in Hebei have bigger appetites than other places?"

Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang spoke almost at the same time, and said in a deep voice: "Women are limited to their weak constitutions. No matter how big their appetites are, how can they be so big? We have been in Hebei Province for a long time, and we don't feel that Hebei people have better appetites than other people.

The place is big. There are only a hundred of these women at most, but Brother Gu... Brother Gu provided them with six large pots of hot porridge, so they must be full, but they don't know why they still need to get the broth."

Everyone felt very confused and looked at Gu Tianya inquiringly.

Gu Tianya glanced at everyone and explained softly: "You are right, they are all full, but there are still people in the family who are not full..."

This was said very lightly, but everyone felt a loud bang in their minds.

Duan Zhixuan almost blurted out, subconsciously saying: "I understand, I am taking this back to my family to eat."

Gu Tianya took a slow breath and said as if murmuring: "Hebei is full of orphans and widows. Men are rarely seen. Every family is composed of women and children. Although these women and children are weak, they are the backbone of the family. If they only care about

They can actually have enough to eat, but they need to feed their children and the elderly, so they are hungry all year round..."

He paused for a moment, looked at Li Shimin, suddenly raised his hands, saluted and apologized: "Second brother, I'm sorry, the owner of this broth already has it, please forgive me for not inviting you to taste it."

"It doesn't matter!" Li Shimin waved his hand, with emotion clearly on his face.

He looked at the women and then added: "If I don't eat a meal, I won't starve to death. However, if these women don't hold a bowl of broth, I'm afraid the children and the elderly at home will starve all night."

.I have lived in Hebei and am familiar with this place. I know that people in Hebei do not have overnight food in their homes."

Gu Tianya seemed a little surprised and took a deep look at Li Shimin.

At this time, the women had already walked in, and they seemed to have just discovered someone standing on the river bank, but they quickly recognized Gu Tianya and Zhao Ning, and the restraint and panic on their faces instantly disappeared.

They continued to carry the bowls and walked towards the big pot by the river. Whenever a woman passed by everyone, they would involuntarily curtsy and salute. Although they did not speak a word, their faces were full of gratitude.

Then, he went to the big pot to get the broth.

Then, they walked into the night together in twos and threes.

After a hard day's work, they were finally able to go home. The cold wind was thick in the depths of the night, but their extremely comfortable smiles could be heard from time to time.

Li Shimin watched with cold eyes, silently watching the scene in front of him. It was not until all the women left that he sighed as if inspired by his feelings and said softly: "Although it is only a bowl of broth, it can bring blessings to one place. If everyone in the world can do it,

Like you Gu Tianya, what a fascinating world and prosperous age it would be."

He was praising Gu Tianya sincerely.

Gu Tianya was embarrassed to answer this question and could only cough twice as a thank you. Li Shimin looked at him, smiled and patted his shoulder.

At this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly saw a mysterious look on his face. He pulled Princess Changsun's arm fiercely and said, "Sister-in-law, it's almost time. Let me show you tonight how amazing my family's world is..."

Everyone was startled, and their thoughts suddenly went astray.

Especially Li Shimin, his face is longer than that of a donkey.

tonight?

How amazing it is to let your sister-in-law see how far away your family is?

Stinky girl, you don’t talk like that. Your second brother is still standing there, how dare you put a hat on your brother’s head? Chai Shao’s hat is already green enough, why don’t you think it’s not fun enough? I want you to

Can't my brother wear one too?
