Fan Qinghui came to see Li Le at night, and was embarrassed to talk to Li Le alone in front of Shi and Li Yuhan. We had to sit together.

Fifty-five years ago, my grandmother opened Yipinju in the Lion City, which has grown from a tavern to the No. 1 restaurant group in Nanyang today. For the sake of her career, she never married in her life, but she adopted many children, including sons and grandchildren, two of whom were Fan Taohua and me, and I had four siblings and three uncles. Three of these uncles have passed on the skills of their grandmothers. In our generation, there is only one Fan Taohua who has passed on from his grandmother.

It turned out that she didn't know the relationship between the second grandmother and Taihang Lou. Li Le listened silently, thinking as he listened.

Half a year older than me, my grandmother picked him up in Jakarta, where she was planning to open a store in Yipinju, where her parents were very famous local pastry chefs. On the same day, my grandmother went to the door to invite someone, but it was just in time for a large-scale anti-Chinese movement to break out in the local area. When Grandma arrived, their house was already in flames. Grandma finds him under a peach tree. It was April, and a peach blossom tree fell, so I named him Peach Blossom.

There are five brothers and sisters in our generation, some are policemen, some are studying medicine, and I studied business management and entered Yipinju, and each of us chose a life path according to my grandmother's will. He was the only one who did not follow his grandmother's arrangement to join the army, but instead made his own decisions and went into the back kitchen.

Growing up, he was a maverick. None of our siblings dared to ignore Grandma's arrangement except him. And not only did he do it, but he was eventually recognized by his grandmother, and even taught him cooking skills himself. He is extremely talented in this area, and his grandmother said that he was born for white cases.

Five years ago, Yipinju finally surpassed the Ronghua Building, which was firmly on the first throne in Nanyang, and achieved a comprehensive surpass in both the scale and the strength of the kitchen. But only in the pastry, he couldn't cover the other party, just because the big white case of the Ronghua Building head office was Gu Yinscoop, who was known as the first white case of the southern school at that time.

Fan Taohua was twenty years old that year, and it was similar to today, she came to Ronghua Building single-handedly, and said wildly that she wanted to take off the signboard of Gu Yinlao's first white case.

That Gu Yinlao was born in the Gu family of Wanghailou, and his cooking skills are not under his grandmother, and he is especially good at white cases. The emperor soup dumplings he made by himself are respected by his peers as the king of pastries and the first of all kinds of fresh. In this industry, fame has not been defeated for decades. Brother Peach Blossom just proposed to compete with him to make steamed buns.

The result is naturally that Fan Taohua won a big victory and became famous. Otherwise, there would not be this guy coming to the door to smash the signboard today.

Li Le waved his hand to interrupt Fan Qinghui's words, and said: "I probably understand, this Peach Blossom Brother's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary, thank you for telling us so much, what I want to ask you is, what kind of bun did Brother Peach Blossom make when he was better than Gu Yinscoop?" Also, did he use peach blossoms at that time? ”

Fan Qinghui said: "He also made emperor soup dumplings, but in the soup pouring process, a little self-brewed peach blossom wine was added to the skin jelly soup. ”

Shi suddenly interjected: "Since you are brother and sister, why do you sue us for these things? ”

Fan Qinghui said: "Naturally, it's because I don't want him to win!" She then added, "Because I don't want cheap hotels to close." ”

Li Le asked, "Can you tell us why you have such an idea?" ”

"Because of your word." Fan Qinghui said calmly: "I live here these days, watching you love each other and live together carefree, I remembered the situation when our brothers and sisters were young, I remember that once I talked to Li Le about cooperation, when you were drunk, you said: The rarest happiness in a person's life is to do what he likes to support himself, and not because of social recognition and other people's expectations, freely settle his own life." ”

Her calm gaze looked directly into Li Le's eyes, "I may never be able to do this sentence, but I will always remember it." ”

Li Le looked at her, and suddenly wanted to touch her face, not for desire, but because he felt that she was very pitiful. Such a simple wish was so unattainable for her. Between her eyebrows, Li Le saw a deep desire for the freedom to choose her lifestyle.

"Why don't you stay, I don't have a manager here." Li Le was a little cheeky: "It's just that I can't afford to pay you the salary when you were in Chunfeng Building." ”

Fan Qinghui was stunned for a long time, looked left and right, and the stone nodded lightly at her. Li Yuhan came over and grabbed her hand.

"Thank you." Fan Qinghui sighed softly and said, "Although I envy your happy life, grandma has always loved me, and I can't let her feel sad because she feels that I betrayed her." ”

"Maybe your grandma isn't who you think she is." Li Le looked at her and reminded, "Haven't you thought about why she has to get Taihang Tower?" With Yipinju's strength today, as well as her age, if there is no special reason, is it really necessary to put so much effort into Taihang Lou? ”

At a certain moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on Fan Qinghui's face, but she quickly regained her calm and firmness: "I can help you with something, but I will never openly oppose grandma, whether her actions are justified or not." ”

Li Le Zhengrong said: "Thank you no matter what, the signboard of Taihang Tower has been hanging for three hundred years, although it has had the experience of being affected by the external environment and having to put it away, but it has never been smashed in such a way, it has not been done before, and it will not be in the future." ”

Autumn is coming, and some people are coming and some people are coming.

Fan Qinghui, who was persuaded to surrender, moved back to Chunfeng Building. Fan Taohua, who smashed the signboard, openly challenged Taihang Tower in the Gucheng Daily. And Li Le was determined to send stones to fight.

Yan Xiaowu still lives in Shajiabang, although he greatly appreciates Fan Taohua's appearance, but under the influence of Li Yuhan, he still clearly distinguishes the relationship between friend and foe. It's just that he still adopts double standards in his attitude towards Li Le and others.

Li Le was guarding in front of the barn in the backyard. As soon as the door opened, the stone came out holding a three-hundred-year-old plaque.

"Brother Le, why did you remember to see the old plaque?"

Golden silk nanmu, gold characters on a black background, Taihang Lou three words written hard Bang Bang Ang Tibetan collection, there is no calligraphy elegant and beautiful. Li Le took it in his hand and looked at it meticulously for a long time before he said: "It's nothing, it's just that I was suddenly interested in this plaque, and I remembered that our grandfather Li Wanli hid the plaque and set himself on fire, and suddenly I wanted to turn it out and take a look." ”

Shi said: "Brother Le, don't worry, this time I will try the white case with Fan Taohua, I dare not say that I will win, but I will definitely go all out, win or lose will be above board, and I will never discredit this old plaque." ”

The battle of the white case was imminent, and Li Lexin felt something, and deliberately asked the stone to find out the old plaque and take a look. Gently stroked the surface of the old plaque with his hand, thinking about the fact that his great-grandfather Li Wanli would rather self-immolate after dispersing his family wealth and keep this golden signboard, he suddenly felt that the old plaque in his hand seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties.

This sentence flashed in his mind, and Li Le's heart suddenly moved, and he subconsciously weighed the weight, feeling extremely heavy. Golden silk nanmu is also called gloomy wood because it sinks when it enters the water, and it is normal to be heavier. However, the weight of this old plaque is somewhat unusual. The fingertips increased a little force, and there were some scratches on the hard wood texture, but the reflected sound was extremely dull.

The middle part of this old plaque turned out to be hollow! Li Le was silent on the surface, but he was excited in his heart. Although I don't want the old man to arrange his own life, it doesn't mean that I am not curious about this secret hidden in the Taihang Tower. It's just that what others tell and what you discover are completely different concepts.

Turning over and carefully rubbing the hollow part, I soon found some unevenness under the pitch-black lacquer surface. I don't know who this small mechanism came from, and it was made very tightly, and it was only discovered after Li Le's hand was repeatedly rubbed several times. Hurriedly instructed the stone: "Go to the study and bring me the 'inch heart' in the eighteen chops." ”

The stone was stunned for a moment, and said incomprehensibly: "What to do?" ”

Li Le hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was time to let the stone know something. said: "Haven't you always wondered why I didn't let you call Bao Rilong's name last time?" Go and bring me the knife first, and then listen to me tell you the reason for this, and as for what you plan to do after knowing these things, it is up to you. ”

The knife came, and the stone looked at it with a puzzled expression.

Li Le took the knife in his hand and lightly slashed at the gap in the center of the old plaque, and with a bang, a crack opened in the center of the old plaque. The stone exclaimed: Ah! Li Le raised his head and said, "Don't worry, the old plaque is fine." As he spoke, he clasped his hand on the edge of the gap and pulled a wooden board off the center of the plaque.

In the hollow section, a long flat box is exposed.

Stone was surprised: "What's going on?" Why is there something hidden in the old plaque? ”

Li Le took out the flat box, lifted the lid of the box, and saw that it was wrapped in yellow thickness, and when he opened it, it was a gold medal densely tattooed with characters, and the twists and turns of the text were not Chinese characters, but like Mongolian characters. He handed the stone to him and said, "See what is written on this?" ”

Shi Shi has been forced by Li Qianjun to learn Mongolian since he was a child, and when he took it over and looked at it for a long time, his expression became more and more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This is related to Taihang Tower, and the content is a bit strange." ”

"Be specific." Li Le's eyes lit up and looked at the stone.

"This says Taihang Building, the building is four zhang high, thirty-three zhang longitudinal, thirty-six zhang horizontal, the structure is eight sides and eight corners, the eight white palace gossip is the first, the carved beam and seven pillars are wonderful and the Beidou, Ganquan shoots the wolf at a glance, it is a building but not a building, but it is a picture, a well and a pillar, a mountain and a tree, the mountain is high and the sea is wide, the gold and silver sea, all in it." Shi scratched his head and translated slowly: "The previous ones are all related to Taihang Tower, but this last sentence doesn't seem to have anything to do with Taihang Tower." ”

"Oh?" Li Le hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" ”

This sentence is a bit strange, which translates to this: under the elm tree, the young camel spilled blood and thousands of horses on the flat land, and the Mongolian soul sleeps forever. Nodding: That's to the effect. ”
