Chen's said that Li Changsuo was moved enough, Chen's embroidery work took out to sell money from the time she got married, at that time Chen said that he was an embroiderer to earn some pocket money for himself, and on weekdays she looked very closely at the silver money, and no one could touch her silver, but she didn't expect that now the daughter-in-law said that she wanted to take her own private money out, which made Li Changsuo surprised and moved.

"No~~!No~~~!How can you move your private money! Your money is still okay! Let's go in and book a table now, if you can't go out, you can't go out and book a table for two taels of silver!" Li Changsuo said very arrogantly.
However, although he said this arrogantly, when Li Changsuo really stood in the Piaoxiang Pavilion, and saw that the people walking around him were dressed very exquisitely, and their speech and demeanor were extraordinary, Li Changsuo suddenly felt that his legs and stomach were twisted.
"What are you going to eat?" Although Li Changsuo's family didn't look like people who could consume in the store, the shopkeeper still walked over very enthusiastically.
"We~~~We~~~!, are here~~~!" Although Li Changsuo was still very tough when he was outside just now, but when he really stood here, he still felt that his legs and stomach were soft and his tongue was hard, "I'm here to book a table~~~Yes~~~~, I'm here to book a table!"
"Reservation noodles?" The shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Pavilion was stunned for a moment, you must know that looking at the dress of a family of three does not look like a person who can eat in this store, but if you say that you can book a table, then it is understandable, this family must have something to ask for people, so they will come here to invite guests, and it seems that the other party's origin is still very big, but these have nothing to do with themselves, as long as they do their own things.
"Then you want to book that kind of banquet, if you invite someone to dinner, then it must be inappropriate in the hall! There are many people in this hall, and you are not good at talking to each other, and we have private rooms on the second and third floors here, but this private room has the rules of private rooms, and the minimum table in the private room is five taels of silver!"
"Do you want ~~~ five taels of silver?" Li Changsuo shuddered when he heard the quotation of the shopkeeper, this price is more than double the highest price expected in his heart, if you have a meal here, your food for a season will be gone!
"Yes~~~!" shopkeeper nodded very simply, "The mat in our private room is not comparable to the ordinary mat outside, every dish is carefully made by the chef in our store, and those dishes are not bad even if they are placed in the provincial capital!"
The shopkeeper worked hard to introduce it, but Li Changsuo couldn't make up his mind in his heart, in fact, if Qiu Lao was just looking for an ordinary gentleman for Baowa, then he would just find a restaurant and book a table with a similar table, but what Qiu Lao found for his son was a gentleman who had been a big official! Li Changsuo thinks that he can't pay it off, but it doesn't mean that he can break the jar and break it, his son still has to study under Mr. Huang's hands, since Qiu Lao can let Mr. Huang accept his son so easily, then he is also willing to let Mr. Huang give up his son, so Li Changsuo's heart is actually very scared.
"Yes~~~Is there a cheaper seat~!" Li Changsuo thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and interrupted the introduction of the shopkeeper.
"Is it cheaper?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Changsuo from top to bottom again, he ushered in so many people every day, of course, he saw that the other party was just an ordinary farmer, such a person came to this store, even if it was to invite people to eat, I was afraid that it would be very difficult, so he thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's do it!" There is a position at the corner of the second floor, a little remote, although it is also close to the window, but there is no view, and no one usually wants to go over to sit, otherwise I see that you will book the mat there, in that case it can be regarded as an ordinary mat!"
"Cheng~~~Cheng~~~ right there!" Li Changsuo nodded again and again when he heard what the shopkeeper said, and he didn't even say to go up and take a look, "How much does this ~~~ ordinary banquet cost?"
Since Li Changsuo asked about the ordinary noodle shop, Xiao Er began to gush introduce: "The lowest ordinary table is two taels of silver! There are three meat and three vegetables plus two cold dishes in the banquet, a total of eight dishes! This kind of table is the table of three taels of silver, and in addition to the dishes in the two taels of silver, the three taels of silver also add our Piaoxiang Pavilion's signature dishes of eight treasure stewed duck and steamed hooves! If you are not satisfied, there is also a table of five taels of silver······ !”
"Dad~~~!Dad~~~!" At this time, Baowa, who had been hiding behind, suddenly came up and whispered to Li Changsuo: "Dad~~! People say that the eight-treasure stewed duck and steamed hooves are delicious!
If Baowa didn't come over at this time, Li Changsuo would have retreated in his heart, the consumption here is too expensive, and it is definitely not something he can accept, but now that his son has come over, he not only came over but also directly named the two dishes here, which has never been done in the past (in fact, there was no such opportunity in the past), which made Li Changsuo feel that his son had grown up and had a responsibility in his heart, and he didn't hear his son just say to himself that the table was too expensive, this is the action that his son has grown up and began to think about his familyThinking of this, Li Changsuo couldn't mention how happy he was, and in addition to being happy, he felt that this was the first time his son had given his own advice to himself, and it was in front of so many outsiders, so of course he couldn't save his son's face at this time.
"Okay~!, let's order a table for three taels of silver!" Li Changsuo patted his son's shoulder, and then said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay~~!Then I'll order you a table for three taels of silver!I'll send you a pot of old wine when the time comes!" As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the table was ordered for three taels of silver, he immediately smiled, originally he thought that he would be busy in vain, "Have you booked this day?" The yellow calendar says that tomorrow is a good day, and it is beneficial to set up a banquet!"
"Tomorrow?" Li Changsuo's brows furrowed, he turned his gaze to his son again, tomorrow his son will go to study, originally if his daughter-in-law didn't say those words before, he didn't think there was anything, but since he inquired about his daughter-in-law's words, he felt that he should have a good relationship with Qiu Lao, especially his son should have a good relationship with Qiu Lao, and it is best to please Qiu Lao like his niece, so now he is very eager to hope that his son can also be present, "What about today?" I remember a good day! But it's an auspicious day for the zodiac!"
Today's day is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac, otherwise Li Changsuo would not have chosen to take his son to worship Mr. today. And he also knows that only today's son has time, and if he misses today, his son doesn't know when he will be able to meet Qiu Lao again.
Li Changsuo's eagerness was exposed to the eyes of the shopkeeper without a trace of covering, the other party was so eager that he did not expect, but since the other party decided to book a table in the store, then he had to solicit this business well, "Today~~!" Today is of course a good day, but this time is a little late, otherwise, a few of you will follow me to the side for a little rest, and I will go to the back kitchen now to ask to see if Master can make it, you must know that Babao stewed duck and steamed hooves are not simple dishes, and it is very time-consuming to make this!"
"Okay~~!" Li Changsuo nodded again and again after listening, and the family of three followed the shopkeeper to a position on the first floor near the back kitchen, and the shopkeeper asked them to sit down and wait for a while, and prepared tea and a small plate of melon seeds for them, and then went to the back kitchen to ask the master if he could make it.
"Tsk~~! It's really worthy of Piaoxiang Pavilion! I also prepared tea and melon seeds!" "Chen's has also been running for a day today, and he has long felt hungry, although he only has tea and melon seeds now, but it is better than nothing!
Li Changsuo is also thirsty now, he picked up the cup in front of him and drank the tea in the cup in one breath, and felt that it was still not enough, so he poured another cup, so he drank three cups in a row before he felt that his mouth was not so dry, but after pouring it, his mouth was already full of the bitter taste of tea, for Li Changsuo, who was not used to drinking tea, this taste was definitely not so good, and he subconsciously thought of the lotus leaf tea made by his niece, just using the simple tea made from lotus leaves, drinking it is more comfortable than these tea leaves to quench his thirst。
After a while, the Chen family ate the plate of melon seeds with his son, only to see the shopkeeper come in from behind, and he had a smile on his face, thinking that there was no problem with this matter. Sure enough, as soon as the shopkeeper walked up to Li Changsuo, he said: "This is really a coincidence, we have an old customer here who ordered these two signature dishes last time, but it is not a coincidence that something can't come today, so I just vacated it to add it to your table!
Li Changsuo was also overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "When will the table be ready? I'll go and invite someone over!"
"Guest, you just have to go! I have just told the chef in the back, let them come to your table first, and they will definitely not miss your business!"
Now that the matter of the banquet has been settled, Li Changsuo happily paid a deposit of one or two silver, and then took his daughter-in-law and son to invite Qiu Lao in a hurry, but on the way Chen found a resting shop and sat down, she is a woman, and she can follow her son to worship Mr. as a mother before, but she can't feast Qiu Lao outside as a mother, so even if she is unhappy in her heart, she can only wait in this place.
To say that although Qiu Lao said that he had a name in the yamen, he actually didn't have any errands to do, all he could do every day was to go shopping, or find a place to drink some wine or something. So Li Changsuo didn't take much effort to find him, Li Changsuo explained that Qiu Lao was very shirky, but he couldn't stand Li Changsuo's persistence and enthusiasm, Qiu Lao could only nod and agree, so the three of them turned back to Piaoxiang Pavilion.
It was the shopkeeper who received them before, but when the shopkeeper saw that the person Li Changsuo was inviting was Qiu Lao, the expression on his face twitched, and he hurriedly lowered his head randomly, and invited them to go up to the second floor respectfully, and after the three of them sat down, the shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and ran downstairs.
The location on the second floor is not very good, although it is said that it is very transparent near the window, but not far from the window is the canopy of a big tree, if you look out from the position of the window, you can't see any scenery at all, and this location is in a corner position, next to the block of the private room, the position can only be barely put down a table, but the location here is not good, but it has also been carefully decorated, so although the place is very small, but it also looks very small and exquisite.
Qiu Lao should have sat on the upper seat, and Li Changsuo took his son to sit down.
"Old Qiu, this matter~~~ Thank you so much!My son's he can worship a gentleman like Mr. Huang, I am really~~I am really~~~!" Li Changsuo's voice was choked when he said this.
"Okay~~Okay~~!" Qiu Lao waved his hand a little impatiently, he really didn't think there was anything about this matter, it was not a matter at all to let that kid in the Yellow Pavilion accept a student in his face, not to mention that now it is not even a formal acceptance of a student, it is just a matter of studying in the Yellow Pavilion," This is not a big deal, I just helped you find a gentleman, as for what will happen in the future, it is not something that a bad old man like me can manage, but Huang Ge's kid doesn't say anything else, there is still some knowledge in this belly, but this temper is not very good!"
Qiu Lao's words made Li Changsuo stunned for a moment, but he immediately thought that he had seen Mr. Huang before, and it did seem that this Mr. Huang didn't look like a scholar at all, but very much like a sturdy peasant man! But these things are not important, the important thing is that this Mr. Huang only needs to be educated, not to mention that this Mr. Huang has been a big official in the past, such a person is a gentleman for his son, it can definitely be said that there is green smoke on his ancestral grave!
