There are still three days to go until Chinese New Year's Eve, and the children on the street are happily setting off firecrackers in the alley, throwing snowballs, singing nursery rhymes for the New Year, stacking arhats at every turn, climbing the wall and coming to the courtyard under Li Xiaoyu's bag to watch the play, the gongs and drums are beating inside, and the excitement is extraordinary, this group of people is preparing for the church meeting held in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve three days later.

During the lunch break, the cooks in the back kitchen were chopping the dumpling filling, and the men, women and children of the grass platform team heard the sound of the kitchen knife stomping on the cutting board, and couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears.

Li Xiaoyu frowned slightly when he saw this scene, "Old class master, what's wrong with you, why are you crying for the New Year?" ”

The old class owner wiped a handful of tears, and the oil paint painted on his face was rubbed off, "Miss, listening to the sound of stomping vegetables, smelling the smell of dumplings, I am happy in my heart!" The old class master smiled innocently, and the big man was holding the window of the back kitchen, watching the master in the kitchen cooking dumplings.

The old squad leader patted the big strong back, looked at the group of people behind him, and pounced on Li Xiaoyu to kneel, but Li Xiaoyu hurriedly helped the old squad leader up. "Miss, don't help me, this head must be knocked down, without your appreciation, how can the old and young masters in our team have dumplings to eat?"

The old class owner said with tears to himself, "I think that when we fled from the SD noodles, when we came here in the first year, everyone was poor, no money, during the New Year, every household in the four alleys chopped dumpling filling, we had no money for the New Year, and we were afraid of being embarrassed, so I took a kitchen knife to chop the empty cutting board, I told these boys that there will be money in the future, let's eat dumplings with pure meat filling, but the empty cutting board is chopped, and it has been chopped for ten years. ”

"Woo woo ~ dad ~ " Da Zhuang sat down on the ground after speaking, and Miss Xiaofeng also came over to help the old class leader. Li Xiaoyu was blocked in his heart when he said these words, he always thought that his life was quite miserable, but when he heard the old class master say this, he felt that God was quite good to him.

What the old class owner said was sad, Leng Yue and Qingluo beside Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, although Leng Yue was a chivalrous man, but she couldn't see others being wronged, she simply ran outside the hospital to stay.

Li Xiaoyu said to everyone, "Let's eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year in the future, and when we enter my house, we are a family that can eat hard and be full!" Li Xiaoyu glanced at Ami and Leng Yue, who were standing in the distance, and then at Ke Ruixiang, who was arguing with Qingluo in front of the counter, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

The hot dumplings were steaming, everyone was gobbling up, and halfway through the hot dumplings, an uninvited man walked in slowly.

This person is none other than King Kang Shen Chuan, Wang Xun slowly followed behind Shen Chuan, but King Kang was unexpected, since Leng Yue was arranged by him to gradually be by his side Li Xiaoyu believes that King Kang is very clear about his every move.

"King Kang's arrival really makes the small shop shine brightly!"

Shen Chuan blinked, picked up a bowl by himself, and handed it to Wang Xun, Wang Xun took out a bowl of dumplings from the pot very quickly, and then he lifted his robe and sat down next to Li Xiaoyu. "What kind of dumplings, what filling?"

"Water chestnut and pork filling, replenish the body and smooth the qi and blood, it is best to eat in winter." Li Xiaoyu said with a smile, found another bowl, and poured some garlic sauce for King Kang.

"Water chestnuts can also be used to make dumpling filling?"

"Yes, why can't that? You taste it first, whether it tastes good or not. After Li Xiaoyu finished speaking, Shen Chuan put a dumpling in his mouth.

"Is it still delicious for you? Poof~Hot~" This Shen Chuan kept upside down, and the people around him looked at him like this, but they were also let go, and they were not as restrained as before.

"Wang Ye, this is Chinese New Year's Eve soon, you didn't come to me just to rub dumplings, right?" Li Xiaoyu slowly helped King Kang sandwich the dumplings in half.

Shen Chuan smiled and said, "I heard that you have always wanted to buy a few more stores on the fourth street, and now the Li family pawnshop on the fourth street, Longxi leather store, and Daqin shops are all going out, if you collect it now, the price can definitely be suppressed!" ”

Li Xiaoyu squinted his eyes and slowly put down his chopsticks, "I don't dare to take this plate, the stores you said are the stores of Peng, Dong, and Li, I took the plate of the three of them, and in the future, if there is a war, the court will not sentence me to a major crime of collaborating with the enemy?" ”

In fact, Li Xiaoyu has long heard that the most prosperous shops in these four streets are going to be sold outside, but no one in the entire Chang'an City dares to take over this hot potato, because everyone knows that those shops are the industries purchased by Peng, Dong, and Li in the capital, and those who can place industries in the most prosperous four streets in Chang'an City must have a lot of power. Longxi is quite close to the capital Chang'an, and if it really fights, it is really hard to say whether the outcome will be lost.

Why did the imperial court exchange Shen Shuo from Liaodong all the way back, it is because if the imperial court really started a war with the gate valve of Longxi, Longxi is the nearest army, and it is estimated that it will only take more than half a month to fight to Chang'an City, and Shen Shuo is estimated to go half a year from Liaodong to return to defense, Shen Shuo took Liaodong Jing border guards back to Beijing, for the children of Longxi in the capital, it is a signal of "war can start at any time", the children of the three surnames who are officials and businessmen in the capital are now panicked, you must know that Longxi and the imperial court are at war, and they are the lords of the Wang clan who stay in Beijing and Longxi, will inevitably be implicated, so they will not keep any property that can be sold.

Shen Chuan put down the dishes and chopsticks very leisurely, "I heard that you have a well-decorated room on the second floor, wait for me to take a look, I will rest here at noon, and I will go back in the evening." ”

Li Xiaoyu naturally understood that Shen Chuan had something to talk to him about alone, Li Xiaoyu wiped his mouth sharply, "Lord Wang, please here!" ”

As soon as King Kang entered this Mediterranean-style bedroom, he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth, and following the warmth, he found that there were actually two iron cans in Li Xiaoyu's room.

Li Xiaoyu said with a smile, "This is the heating, it is filled with hot water, and the kitchen is on fire, so by the way, the hot water in this heating is boiled." ”

"It's ingenious, you came up with it yourself?" King Kang's eyes were filled with a strange look, gently caressing the murals on the wall, but he slowly sat on the bed.

"Lord Wang, when you get here, if you have something to say, just say it." Li Xiaoyu didn't want to be close to Shen Chuantao, this weak man's eyes had a kind of magic, and Li Xiaoyu felt that he was completely transparent when he stood in front of him.

Shen Chuan leaned his neck and lay back, and his body fell on the soft bed, "Actually, I didn't let you really want you to take down the Longxi storefront on the fourth street, you just need to tell them that you can't raise such a large amount of money for a while, pay them the deposit first, and then you will find a way to drag those people, as long as those people are still in the capital, those nobles in Longxi will not dare to easily rebel." ”

After listening to this, Li Xiaoyu squinted his eyes and asked, "Lord Wang, you asked me to drag them down, are you going to wait until our army marches west and pacifies Longxi, I'm afraid that the owners of these shops will not be able to save their lives!" ”

Shen Chuan took out a letter from his arms, and then handed it to Li Xiaoyu without a smile, and said with a tired expression, "This matter is my begging for you, my Shen Chuan is worth a thousand gold, as long as you help me drag the Longxi nobles in this capital, and wait until the day of pacifying Longxi, when Your Majesty rewards you, you will definitely have your share." ”

Li Xiaoyu looked at the reward written on the paper, but took advantage of her heart. However, she was not satisfied, so she pouted and said, "Lord Wang, it is easy to explain this matter to me, but I hope to transfer my people into the army." ”

Shen Chuan frowned, "You have a daughter's family, it's not a good thing to be so obsessed with power, you must know that marching and fighting is not child's play, how can you have someone under your command who can lead troops to fight?" ”

"Yes! Wang Ye, the former Jing Border Guard guerrilla general Di Zifu, can he lead the troops? Li Xiaoyu looked at Shen Chuan, but Shen Chuan squinted his eyes, he knew that Di Zifu and Li Xiaoyu were close, but he never thought that Di Zifu, such a majestic husband, would listen to such a little woman.

"Di Zifu's words are naturally okay, but he will listen to you?"

"If I let him go, he will!" Li Xiaoyu said very firmly.
