The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 151

[Chapter 151: The Blacksmith Who Doesn’t Forge Iron]

“Sir, this is the house. It was originally the home of a wealthy businessman. Later, he went out to do business and something went wrong, so the house was taken over by the government.”

The leading steward said to Lin Tian.

“It looks good. Let’s go inside and take a look!”

The steward took out the key, opened the door, and pushed it open. The yard was empty, but very tidy. The room was also very clean.

“This house has always been cleaned, but the trees in the yard are not worth anything. There is only one loquat tree that is still alive!”

The steward said while taking Lin Tian to visit the house.

“Loquat tree?”

“Yes, it’s right there.”

The steward pointed to a loquat tree not far ahead and said.

The leaves of the loquat tree were very lush, and the fruits were ripe at the time. The tree was full of fruits, golden and beautiful.

Lin Tian looked at the loquat tree, which was growing alone in the yard. Thinking of the article he had learned before, he murmured softly.

“There is a loquat tree in the yard, which was planted by my wife when she died. Now it has grown tall and majestic!”

The steward beside him heard it and thought it was just a whisper, and didn’t ask any more questions.

“Yes, it’s here. When can we move in?”

“We can move in today. We just need to go to the government office to leave a record, get the land deed and pay the money, and then we can move in.”

Then

Lin Tian and the steward went to the government office to handle the follow-up matters, and the others stayed here to continue looking at their new house.

After Lin Tian came back, the two girls were still discussing which room to live in. “Master, where are you living?”

Lin Kang saw his young master coming back with a long box in his hand, which must be the land deed.

“I, of course I live with the two beauties, right, Wan’er Man’er!”

Lin Tian threw the land deed to Lin Kang and said to the two girls.

“Who wants to live with you!”

The two were arguing just now, but now they refuted Lin Tian in unison.

Lin Tian could only smile awkwardly and turned to Lin Kang.

“Lin Kang, then you live with me.”

Lin Kang was smiling, and when he heard Lin Tian say that, he hurriedly waved his hand.

“No, no, Master, I want to live by myself.”

Seeing Lin Kang’s eyes and tone of disdain, the two women beside him couldn’t help laughing.

At this moment, Lin Tian was thinking in his heart, a bunch of conscienceless people, I worked hard to earn money to buy a house, but in the end it was nothing.

If someone was still alive, he would definitely say, you call that hard work to make money?

“According to the time, Xu Wenxuan and the others should be here, I’ll go pick them up, Lin Kang, go to the inn to pick up my father and the others, you two can go shopping here, I’ll come back later to take you shopping.”

“Okay, Master.”

The three responded in unison.

When Lin Tian arrived at the city gate, he saw Xu Wenxuan riding a horse and followed by another horse. Looking closely, it turned out that Song Zijie was also here.

Xu Wenxuan and the others arrived at the city gate, got off the horse, and saw Lin Tian waiting for them there.

Xu Wenxuan bowed to Lin Tian.

“Brother Lin, I brought Song Zijie with me.”

“Well, very good.”

Lin Tian returned the greeting and answered, turning to Song Zijie and speaking in a comforting tone.

“Zijie, I’m sorry for your loss. I already know about your family’s affairs.”

Song Zijie heard Lin Tian calling his name and talking about his family’s affairs, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, begging.

“Mr. Lin, I was blind and offended you before. Now my family has been destroyed, but I can’t do anything. Please help me get revenge. I will be your slave, no matter what!”

Lin Tian hurriedly helped him up and said slowly.

“No need to do this. We will all be family in the future. I will definitely help you get revenge. Get up, and we’ll talk about it when we go back.”

Lin Tian looked at Song Zijie at this time and found that he had changed. After experiencing great things, he will become a great talent. Lin Tian knew that he had made the right bet.

But the price was too high. Lin Tian was also thinking about what he would be like in the future and what would happen to the Lin family.

After all, the saying that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger is not just talk.

Lin Tian took the two of them to the newly bought house on foot and saw a busy scene inside. Lu Wan’er and Gu Man’er were directing the servants to clean and decorate the new house.

When they arrived at the main hall, Lin Zuhua was drinking tea and Lin Kang was waiting on the side.

“Dad, are you satisfied with this house?”

Lin Tian asked his father as soon as he entered the door.

“Satisfied, satisfied, my son has made progress and can afford such a big yard. He is better than your father!”

Lin Zuhua put down the tea bowl and responded happily.

But this mansion is still a little smaller than the general’s mansion.

However, after all, he bought it himself, and the general’s mansion was given by the emperor.

Xu Wenxuan and Song Zijie behind Lin Tian also bowed and greeted Lin Zuhua.

After a few words of small talk, Lin Tian took Lin Kang out.

“Wan’er, Man’er, let’s go shopping!”

When the two girls heard about shopping, they dropped their work and followed Lin Tian out.

The group walked along the way, and soon, Lin Kang’s hands were full of things, such as rouge, powder, clothes and jewelry.

He finally understood why his young master asked him to go shopping.

The two girls came to go shopping, but Lin Tian was not just here to go shopping. He came to investigate the environment of the capital, to see what was missing and where there were business opportunities.

Lin Tian found that the restaurants and music halls here were already full, and the business was good. It seemed that it would take some time to open Wenrouxiang and Taohuazhai here.

And you must have your own characteristics, otherwise it will be difficult to snatch business from others.

“By the way, we can open a hot pot restaurant. There is no such store here, and it is relatively easy to make. There is no technical or technological content. Just make the pot and the hot pot base.”

Lin Tian thought to himself, and took the three people to a street full of blacksmith shops.

Lin Tian found that every shop here was working in full swing,

and only one shop in the corner did not even start the furnace. There were also some wooden products in the blacksmith shop, which looked very delicate, but they looked out of place in the blacksmith shop.

Lin Tian looked at the blacksmith in the shop again. The man looked like a middle-aged man. He hadn’t shaved his beard for a long time, but his hair was well-coiled and there was a jade hairpin inserted in it.

The blacksmith in the blacksmith shop next to him saw that Lin Tian and his friends were probably going to make something, so he shouted.

“This young man, if you want to make something, you can come and take a look at me.”

Lin Tian did not go over, but just asked.

“Excuse me, why is there no fire in this blacksmith shop?”

“He has been in a slump since his father passed away three years ago. He just sits there all day and does nothing. If you want to make iron, you have to come to us. We are the best in the whole capital!”

The blacksmith answered and did not forget to brag about his skills.

Lin Tian thanked him and came to the blacksmith lying on a chair. When Lin Tian saw the chair, he thought of the modern rocking chair.

In this country of Chu where technology is scarce, the one who can make such an exquisite chair must not be an ordinary person.

Lin Tian seemed to have thought of a possibility, and he bowed to the blacksmith and said.

“The world is all white, only I am black.”
