Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 81: The Gift Was Not a Dagger
Drinks and beauties cheered...
The evening banquet at Wufeng Tavern was very well arranged. Although it gave Tang Zheng the illusion of a bit of agricultural heavy metal, every dish and every ice cream was at least delicious.
People kept finding Tang Boyuan and his team to discuss cooperation with them regarding the West Street store.
The group of people from Bailianfang were drinking and playing finger-guessing games with Xiaotang. A group of rough men and a pretty girl were drinking happily...
Before the night banquet was over, Tang Boyuan and his friends had to leave because of other things.
Tang Zheng patted Tang Xiaotang on the shoulder: "Is it okay?"
"What...what's wrong?" Tang Xiaotang stood up, her half-drunk eyes were blurred and enchanting, and the two blushes on her face were as bright red as the thorn flowers tattooed on her waist.
"That's enough. You've drunk too much." Tang Zheng smiled and took the cup from her hand.
Strictly speaking, Tang Xiaotang is still a minor under the age of 18 and should be at the age of not drinking alcohol.
However, it could be seen that she was very happy today, so Tang Zheng did not try to stop her.
However, he resolutely stopped Xiao Lingling from taking the wine glass.
When you are a teacher, you should act like a teacher!
"Since Master...Master said so, then...I won't drink anymore." Tang Xiaotang bowed to the men of Bailianfang, "We'll meet again another day... another day."
"Okay, okay." The craftsmen from Bailianfang had never drunk with such a beautiful girl before, so they all stood up and returned the greeting.
The whole night passed quickly.
Ban Yiluo was so happy that he was staggering, and he drank cup after cup with Mo Feng. Fearing that something might happen to him due to his age, Tang Zixie quickly found an excuse and arranged for someone to send him back to Jubao Pavilion.
A "dagger appraisal conference" finally ended...
The guests in twos and threes also went home one after another.
Along with it, the social practice of the children of Tangjiabao also came to an end...
Originally, the cause of this social practice was just that Tang Zheng needed to teach students and learn casting at the same time, and he organized an activity. Now that he has mastered casting, he used the money-piling tactics to destroy Bai Lian Fang, and also got the promise of Bai Lian Fang to keep its promise. Naturally, there is no need to continue.
It was early in the morning and it was still dark.
The carriage prepared by Tang Zixie stopped at the door of Wufeng Tavern. The owner of Wufeng Tavern personally escorted everyone from Tangjiabao to the carriage, and at the end he added very attentively: "Come again next time!"
The return carriage had the same configuration as the one we had when we came.
Tang Zheng, Azhi, Ghost Grandpa, Tang Xiaotang and the Meng sisters, six people in one car.
"Master, what else are you going to teach us after we return this time?" Tang Xiaotang leaned against the backrest of the carriage, half drunk, and asked Tang Zhengdao with a smile.
"Continue talking about the "Celestial History Records."" Tang Zheng replied.
"Huh, who was it last time that said that "The History of Stars" was full of mistakes and omissions?" Azhi was still thinking about the time when Tang Zheng cheated him before he started his social practice.
Tang Zheng said nothing, but just patted a full book box next to him.
There was laughter and joy in the carriage on the return journey.
The Tang Family Castle is now at the peak of its power in Wulong Town. As children of the Tang Family Castle, each of them feels that a brand new life is about to begin.
Tang Xiaotang was originally talking to Tang Zheng, but somehow turned to Xiao Lingdang. In the end, the two lolis, one big and one small, clapped their hands and sang to each other.
Soon, singing responses came from other carriages in the convoy...
Tang Xiaotang drank a lot of wine today.
So, as she was singing, her head tilted and she fell asleep on Tang Zheng's shoulder in an instant.
Tang Zheng looked at her helplessly, and couldn't bear to push her away.
"Um...Master..." Xiaotang was still mumbling in a daze.
"Yeah?" Tang Zheng replied, "I'm here."
"Master...sweet, sweet."
"Me? Sweet?" Tang Zheng was horrified.
"Pfft, I guess this girl is still thinking about the ice cream ." A cold smile appeared lightly on Meng Fenghua's face. She took out a blanket from behind the backrest and put it on Xiaotang.
With a "swish", Little Bell crawled under the blanket: "I want to sleep too."
Then, the little thing didn't hesitate to lie on Tang Zheng's legs, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
The curtains of the carriage were not drawn.
The stars are shining in the sky which is about to get bright.
A cool breeze blew in from outside the car. Azhi shivered, took out a blanket, and wrapped himself like a caterpillar.
Tang Zheng was lost in thought at the starry sky outside the window.
The starry sky looked very similar to that of his previous life, but the land covered by it was two completely different worlds...
However, he enjoyed his ice cream today!
"Well, I'll make instant noodles next time." Tang Zheng thought while looking forward to a bright future.
Although this future is really a bit hopeless.
…
The carriage went all the way from West Street to East Street, then left the city and left Wulong Town.
Azhi looked at Tang Zheng and glanced at him several times.
Tang Zheng looked at him as if he was about to say something but hesitated, feeling both angry and amused: "Just say what you want to say. I won't give up on treating you just because of your stupid questions."
Ah Zhi's face darkened again: "I heard from the craftsman at Bailianfang that the dagger you gave them is worth several hundred taels of purple gold?"
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "If you want, I'll give you one too?"
"Who... who cares!" Ah Zhi didn't mean that at all. "I'm just confused. You held this dagger appraisal conference just to get revenge on Bailianfang, but why did you give the dagger to them later? What on earth do you want to do?"
Hearing Azhi's question, Meng Fenghua also looked at Tang Zheng for a second longer.
From the tit-for-tat in the beginning, to the later throwing of daggers, to the final drinking and chatting, the whole process is indeed a bit confusing.
"Is it because of Lan Shaoze?" Meng Fenghua parted her red lips and asked softly.
"Hmm..." Tang Zheng nodded , "Yes and no, this dagger was originally meant to be given to Bailianfang, but...if Lan Shaoze hadn't caused such a commotion, it wouldn't have been so easy to give it away."
Ah Zhi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you really sick? Why did you give it to Bailianfang?"
Tang Zheng asked: "Then tell me, what do you think I should do?"
"Of course you should vent all the anger you've caused them back on them, make a few sarcastic remarks to them, then make them sign a written agreement to abide by the contract, and then ask them to get out!" Ah Zhi replied.
Tang Zheng looked at him seriously for a long time and said, "Do I look like such a superficial person?"
Azhi looked at him.
Meng Fenghua looked at him.
Neither of them answered, but their eyes betrayed their inner thoughts.
Tang Zheng was speechless.
What was the purpose of forging this dagger? It was to invite Lu Huang to Wulong Town and tailor a piece of secondary equipment for him!
If he really did what Ah Zhi did, it would be hard to imagine what Lu Huang would make for him after he came as promised...
Just give him a folding stool, maybe it will work.
"What do you think I gave you? A dagger?" Tang Zheng tapped Azhi's nose. "Superficial! Too superficial!"
"..." Azhi stared at him.
"Is there something else?" Meng Fenghua asked uncertainly.
"Although Bailianfang has offended me, I admire Bailianfang, their works, and their craftsmanship, isn't that right? Therefore, what I gave them was definitely not just a dagger!"
Meng Fenghua and Azhi looked at each other.
They both shook their heads.
Azhi had only one feeling - this guy was definitely fooling people!
Tang Zheng held up a finger: "Of course, what you see is just a dagger. Because you don't understand the spirit of craftsmanship, and don't understand the pursuit of art geeks... But Bailianfang does. They will understand that what I gave them is not just a dagger, but... a feeling! A great feeling! Do you know what feeling is?"
"Cough cough cough cough..." Azhi almost choked on his saliva.
"Yes, it is this dagger that represents my hardworking spirit in forging and my forging spirit that regards money as dirt..."
Meng Fenghua and Azhi both had dazed expressions.
What the hell?
The hardworking spirit of casting? It seems that most of the materials are processed by Ban Yilou, right?
It is true that money is regarded as dirt, but how can we talk about forging a soul?
"What is sentiment? Can you eat it?" Little Bell in Tang Zheng's arms rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in a daze.
“……”Tang Zheng retreated instantly.
"I won't say more, just feel it for yourself." Tang Zheng pulled the blanket up on Xiaotang and reached out to close the car curtain.
However, the moment he stretched out his hand, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Ah Zhi also felt Tang Zheng's breathing suddenly tighten, and couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong?"
Tang Zheng did not answer him, but shouted outside: "Stop the car!"
Tang Zheng and his group were in the first car.
So, as soon as they stopped, the carriages behind them had to stop as well.
Tang Zixie and the others all jumped off the carriage at the back and asked, "What's going on? Why aren't you leaving?"
The night before dawn is the deepest and quietest.
The rustling sound of grass leaves blown by the wind not only failed to bring any vitality to the night, but made the night seem even darker.
Tang Zheng jumped off the carriage and looked straight ahead...
Tang Xiaotang, who had already woken up, and Tang Zixie and the others stood quietly behind Tang Zheng, looking at the peaceful road ahead with him.
"Master... do you want to pee?" Tang Xuan stared at the road for a long time and asked Tang Zheng in confusion.
Tang Zheng shook his head, stopped them, took two steps forward, and quickly took two steps back.
When all the children of Tangjiabao were confused, Tang Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed diagonally upwards, and said, "Zixie, flying knife!"
