Teahouse.

The little marquis Cao Liecai doesn't like to eat what hanging oven baked cakes and drink what tofu soup, in his opinion, it is a very crude thing.

He was more accustomed to having people make tea in a place like a teahouse, while he sat in a dazzling array of breakfasts and wondered what to eat.

He felt that the breakfast in the north was not delicious and rough, not just coarse, but coarse.

Relatively speaking, he prefers the early morning from the south.

In his house, there are at least twelve or thirteen pastry chefs from the south, and the breakfast they make is exquisite and delicious, and most importantly, varied.

The Cao family's family business was too big, and each courtyard had its own cook, and in his father's main courtyard, there were a total of sixty cooks from all over the world.

Among them, there are a total of 26 pastry chefs, and each person has a different division of labor.

His father's life was so delicate that ordinary people couldn't imagine it, and even if you told them about the process, they would think you were making up a story, or that they didn't have a picture in their heads.

In the prosperous era of Great Chu, the expectation in the hearts of the people was that they could have meat for a meal, not that they could eat big fish and meat, but that they could put some meat in the dishes.

In the turbulent times of Great Chu, the expectation in the hearts of the people was to be full, not to say that they could eat enough at once, even if they could eat enough one meal a day.

The pastry chef in this teahouse obviously didn't match Cao Lie's taste, so he just barely ate some.

Ninety percent of the rest of the things were taken, and they were all withdrawn.

Sitting on the side cooking tea, he is the most beautiful tea master in this teahouse, who looks about twenty years old, looks very beautiful, and has a beautiful figure.

But Cao Lie didn't even look at it, because he felt that this tea master looked average and was dressed very dirty.

The fairy-like girl in the eyes of others is ...... in his eyes Very earthy.

The Cao family's prosperity has a total of twelve branches, all of which are in Yuzhou, but it does not mean that the Cao family only has these industries.

The medicine business is just a small part of the Cao family's business.

The Cao family's biggest business was silk weaving and transportation, and they almost monopolized the freight business on the Nanping River.

Who would dare to fight with the Cao family for this cargo ship on the Nanping River?

In addition to weaving and water transportation, the land transportation business, tea business, and medicine business in Yuzhou all have a large share.

In addition to these, there are also martial arts workshops that others refuse to do at all, and they will never dare to touch them.

The martial arts workshops are all under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court and are under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but after the chaos of the Great Chu, most of the martial arts workshops in various places were directly occupied by the envoys of various festivals.

On the side of Yuzhou, after Prince Wu took over, the affairs of this martial arts workshop also fell into the hands of the Cao family.

The weapons and armor equipped by Prince Wu's army are all from here.

Therefore, the Cao family is the undisputed number one force in Yuzhou.

It is conceivable that people like Cao Lie are naturally loved by thousands of people.

"Little Hou Ye, this Li Yi is different from others."

Seeing Cao Lie's reaction, Ding Shengjia said with a smile.

"It's interesting, it's interesting, but it's not about me trying to fix him."

Cao Lie smiled: "It's one thing that he's interesting, it's another thing for him to bully the people of our Xingshengde Medicine Shop." ”

He put his feet on the table and sat lazily in his chair, and shook it up.

"I won't be embarrassed for him on the way."

Cao Lie said: "It's just that he's very interesting, so I planned to teach him a lesson here, so I won't do it." ”

"But ......"

He changed his mind.

"I want to give General Meng's face, I also want to give your face, and when he arrives in Anyang City, let General Meng see him first, after you finish talking about business, I always have to make him uncomfortable, this is the case."

He glanced at the wailing people on the street outside the building, and smiled: "This time it doesn't count, I gave it to him to play." ”

He shook his chair and said, "I'll take a look after I get to Anyang City,

If he can be more interesting, then find a way to keep him in Yuzhou. ”

Cao Lie said in a tone that should not be at this age: "You know, my daily life is very boring. ”

When he said this, he was like an old man who had been through decades of life.

It's still the kind of old man who has all the feelings in the world that are not uncommon and tasteless.

And he is only a teenager, but he already has this kind of feeling in the world, which is not uncommon and boring.

As soon as he was born, he was destined to be so.

What other children will never see in their lives is waste in his eyes.

What other children can't eat once in their lives is garbage in his eyes.

At this time, Li Qi walked away with a bag of hanging oven baked cakes, and Cao Lie, who was sitting on the second floor, couldn't help but smile again when he saw Li Qi's appearance.

"He was also a very rich man, but he had to settle the bill with the money he had robbed."

Cao Lie asked Ding Shengjia: "General Ding guessed why?" ”

Ding Shengjia shook his head: "I guess I just don't want to use my own money." ”

Cao Lie sighed: "General Ding...... Because he had already seen that these people were all you were looking for, of course he wouldn't use his own money. ”

He looked at Ding Shengjia: "But you said that you wanted to invite him to breakfast, and you left without paying the bill." ”

Ding Shengjia was stunned.

He really forgot to settle the bill, and how dare the husband and wife who sold the baked cakes ask him for money.

Cao Lie sighed and said, "I forgot too." ”

Guanyi, after Li Qi came back, he asked if there were two pharmacists from Jizhou to sell medicinal materials, and the answer was no.

So Li Qi smiled, and said in his heart Ding Shengjia, Ding Shengjia, your martial arts are very strong, and the amount of food is also very strong, but this trick of yours is really not strong.

Back in the house, Li Qi put down the baked cake, Yu Jiuling leaned over to take a look, and then pouted: "A general in Anyang City, just invite you to eat this?" ”

Li Qi said: "So I was afraid of losing money, so I packed some." ”

Yu Jian pinched a baked cake and took a bite, and the taste was actually good.

He asked as he ate, "Is that guy trying to give you a horse?" ”

Li Qi hummed and said, "Given." ”

Yu Jiuling asked, "What kind of dismount?" ”

Li Qi sighed: "I installed a ...... in the baked cake shop"

He glanced at Shen Ruzhan not far away, and was embarrassed to say foul language.

After tidying up for a while, he continued: "It's very cliché, probably some people came to clean me up. ”

Yu Jiuling said: "This hasn't arrived in Anyang City yet...... Boss, is it too late for me to resign from this big treasurer? ”

Li Qi said: "It's too late. ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Then, is it too late to talk about the salary increase now?" ”

Li Qi said: "I will subsidize your medical expenses." ”

Yu Jiuling: "......"

"But ......"

Li Qi smiled and said, "This so-called little marquis is an interesting person. ”

After resting for two days in Shengfang County, the team continued its journey.

This time, with the escort of the Anyang Army, there is no need to worry about any trouble on the road.

Li Qi didn't see the young man in the team again, although he only glanced at the door of the baked cake shop, he was sure that it was Cao Lie.

It seems that he should have left Shengfang County early to return to Anyang.

Li Qi thinks this Cao Hunt is interesting because he is flamboyant but not domineering, and he protects his shortcomings but does not commit murder.

He's a dumb kid, and sometimes people confuse dumb and bastard.

After walking for a few days, the team arrived at Anyang City, and after arriving, Li Qi understood what it meant to be magnificent.

This was the first time Li Qi saw Nanpingjiang.

There are also several big rivers in Jizhou, and Li Qi has also seen rivers that can exist

Four or five miles wide.

But compared to the Nanping River, those big rivers are simply a small stream.

Standing on the edge of the Nanping River, looking at the thousands of sails on the river, listening to the trumpets one by one, the mood is a little surging.

No wonder this place can be called a moat.

Walking along the official road by the river, I saw a place where there was a shipbuilding from a distance, and the scale was not large, and it was a merchant ship that was being built for freight.

The largest merchant ship Li Qi saw on the river was probably less than 20 zhang, and such a large ship would never be seen in the north.

"There are already scenery of Jiangnan here, but I don't know how splendid Jiangnan is."

Li Qi exhaled softly.

The customs and customs of the Nanpingjiang area are far from Jizhou.

The people often say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, but they are not rich by the mountains, and they are not poor by the water.

From ancient times to the present, there have been areas that have not lived on the mountains, and those who have become richer than those who rely on water for food.

When they were about to enter Anyang City, in Meng Kedi's General's Mansion, the little marquis Cao Lie was smiling and talking to Meng Kedi about his experience in Shengfang County.

"Hahahaha......"

After hearing Cao Lie's words, even Meng Kedi couldn't help laughing.

"In this way, he is indeed an interesting person and a man."

Meng Kedi admires Li Yiyi's attitude, he can admit it himself and give in, but you can't bully him.

"How did the little marquis plan?"

Meng Kedi was very curious, since Cao Lie had already become interested in that Li Yiyi, how would the little marquis play next.

This demon king of the mixed world is full of strange ideas.

"Wouldn't it be fun if all the fun was designed, step by step, step by step?"

Cao Lie said: "Play, do whatever you want, think of what is what, only fun, what is planned, is not play." ”

He leaned back: "Wait until the general has seen him first." ”

Meng Kedi said tentatively: "Little Hou Ye can have fun, but this person is still useful...... By the beginning of June, I will march into Jizhou, this person's Shen Yitang, can provide intelligence for the army, and even take Jizhou from inside and outside. ”

Cao Lie snorted, but he didn't mean to care at all.

He looked at Meng Kedi and said, "But if I play, where can I take care of you, the general?" So the general should also keep an eye on me, don't count on me. ”

Cao Lie got up, shook his neck and said, "Which is the best restaurant in Anyang City?" ”

Meng Kedi replied: "There are several restaurants in Anyang City, which are similar, Fenglin Building, Autumn Garden, Zheng Drum Tower, and Xinghe Building. ”

Cao Lie nodded and looked at the subordinate who had been standing at the door: "Xu Wenjun, have you remembered everything?" ”

The young man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, like a wooden man, bowed his head and said, "Go back to the little marquis, remember." ”

Cao Lie glanced at him and sighed: "You are like that dead all day long, you shouldn't follow me." ”

Xu Wenjun replied: "The prince's military order, I dare not disobey." ”

"Alas......"

Cao Lie looked at Meng Kedi and said, "Did you see it?" Not free...... Not free. ”

He asked again: "Xu Wenjun, if I ask you to kill people, will you go?" ”

Xu Wenjun replied: "No." ”

Cao Lie sighed again and said, "Look, it's not just that there is no freedom. ”

He walked out with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Xu Wenjun, I will punish you." ”

Xu Wenjun leaned over: "Please punish the little marquis." ”

Cao Lie said: "You can count the number of restaurants in Anyang City, and if you don't know how many restaurants there are, go back to Zuo Wuwei." ”

Xu Wenjun nodded: "Subordinates obey." ”

Cao Lie squinted at him: "You never smile?" ”

Xu Wenjun glanced at Cao Lie and did not answer.

Cao Lie suddenly felt even more boring.
