Chapter 18: The Great Landlord
The popularity of the gnawing chicken continues, as soon as the door of the West Market opens on the second day, many people go straight to the Drunken Immortal Building, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the positions of the Drunken Immortal Building are all occupied, and the people who have not been able to enter the door of the Drunken Immortal Building begin to line up.
"Brother Wang, are you here to eat this gnawing chicken too?" A short young man in white in the team saw that the one in the front row turned out to be an acquaintance, so he chatted casually.
"Yes, after Chen Erhu ate the gnawed chicken of this drunken fairy building yesterday, he blew it with me for an afternoon, and his Chen family was a nouveau riche, and he dared to come to my house to show off, and Lao Tzu couldn't afford to eat this gnawing chicken." The surname Wang had a proud face.
"Alas, let's come so early, why don't we have a seat, this drunken immortal building is really, the place is too small."
"I heard that this gnawing chicken is only limited to two hundred copies a day, we should be able to line up in this position, and the latter one will be miserable, today I will taste what the miraculous chicken is said to be by."
……
An hour later, all the 200 gnawed chickens in the Drunken Immortal Building were sold out, but there was still a queue of at least 100 people outside, and the people who did not line up immediately stopped doing it, and they began to make noise and coax, and the order was in chaos, and even alarmed the Wuhou of Chang'an City.
Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to announce that the supply of the chicken he gnawed today had increased by one hundred, which solved the chaos.
Tai Chi Palace.
The old eunuch Zhao Song was reporting the background of Li Zexuan to Li Eryiyi, and presented a piece of rice paper to Li Er.
After hearing this, Li Er stood up, took two steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "According to what you say, then Li Zexuan didn't mean to approach Cheng Qian and Changle?" ”
After that, he picked up the rice paper again, and said with interest: "This Li Zexuan is still proficient in arithmetic, and he is a step higher than Xu Hongzhi's skills, but I didn't expect it, this kid seems to have a lot of skills, but what are the twists and turns on this paper?" ”
If Li Zexuan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it, that piece of rice paper was the financial statement he made in the garment shop that day, but he didn't expect this old eunuch to even get this.
"The old slave didn't know, according to the guys who were present at the time, Xu Hongzhi didn't know what the word was, and Li Zexuan didn't explain."
……
Li Er was still confused by Arabic numerals, but Li Zexuan was lying on the recliner in the west courtyard of the Li Mansion and flirting with the two little maids, ah, no, he was telling a story, this recliner was made by Zhou Carpenter in the east of the city two days ago, and the drawings were naturally drawn by Li Zexuan, such a simple thing is simply trivial to him, an engineering dog.
Li Zexuan told them "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", in fact, there are not many stories in his head, he remembers some TV series that he watched many times when he was a child, and basically didn't watch TV series during college, I feel that it is all a routine, and it is worrying to watch. Every day is either playing games, or chatting with his little girlfriend online, and long-distance relationships are also very hard.
"Young master, this Liang Shanbo is so stupid, he slept with Zhu Yingtai for so long and didn't know that she was a woman, how could this be possible, young master, you are making it up again." It didn't take long for Xiaohe to protest.
"Why is it impossible, why is it just made up?" Li Zexuan was unconvinced, how could the love classics of his previous life be made up?
"Young master, a woman is a woman, even if a woman dresses up as a man, you can still see it, young master, you must have watched too much drama." Xiaohe said with a lot of experience.
"Who said that, some women dressed as men are indeed easy to see through, such as Xiaoxi, but Xiaohe, a girl like you, if a woman dresses up as a man, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be seen, hehe." Li Zexuan said, and looked at Xiaohe's small chest with some ill will.
"Young Master, are you ...... You...... Hum! Xiaohe followed Li Zexuan's gaze and looked down, jumped up in an instant, blushed, and said to Li Zexuan, you and you for a long time, I didn't know what to say, I stomped my feet in shame and turned around and ran.
Xiao Xi also blushed on the side, and didn't dare to look up at Li Zexuan again, but he was thinking in his heart: "Did the young master just mean to praise me for my big breasts?" "The more I think about it, the redder my face becomes.
At this moment, Li Zexuan noticed that a tall and beautiful girl in green clothes walked into the yard, Li Zexuan knew this maid, it was by his mother's side, it seemed to be called Qing'er, seeing that he was about to come here, Li Zexuan stood up and said, "Why is Sister Qing'er here?" Is it my mother who is looking for me? ”
Qing'er smiled and nodded, "Madame, please ask the young master to go to the front hall." ”
After a while, Li Zexuan came to the front hall and saw his mother sitting in front of the hall, and there was a thin old man under the hall, this person was the Wang butler of the Li Mansion, Li Zexuan had met a few times a few days ago.
"Xuan'er, here, come and sit on my mother's side." When Mrs. Li saw her son coming, she hurriedly smiled and beckoned.
Li Zexuan walked over and sat down and said, "Mother, what are you doing with calling the child over?" ”
Mrs. Li handed a booklet in her hand to Li Zexuan, Li Zexuan took it and opened it to look at it, it seemed to be an account book, and asked curiously: "Mother, what is this?" ”
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "This is the rent account sent by Steward Wang just sent by Hanjiazhuang outside the east of the city, this rent should have been paid a long time ago, but last year's harvest was not good, so my mother gave them a few months, and I should have received fifty percent of the rent, but my mother only received forty percent of them." Isn't this my Xuan'er a good student, my mother will let you come over to help my mother calculate, every time I collect rent in previous years, my mother has to count for a few days, and this year there is Xuan'er, and my mother will save a lot of trouble. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li was very relieved that her son could now help her share her worries.
After listening to this, Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Well, mother, these things will be handed over to the child in the future, and the mother will enjoy the blessings with peace of mind." The mother is really kind-hearted, and she reduced the rent of those bankers by 10%, but then again, it is really not easy for those bankers. After that, he was a little puzzled: "Mother, why do we still have so much fertile land in our family?" Why didn't I hear my dad say it? ”
Mrs. Li glanced at him angrily when she heard this, and said, "This is all the land I bought for my mother in the past few years and rented to those villagers. My mother saw that there was so much spare money at home, and she couldn't keep it, so she took out some of it and bought some land. ”
Tsk, I didn't expect the old lady to be so advanced, in the Tang Dynasty, she knew that she used money to invest in buying land, he asked with some curiosity: "Then mother, how much land have you bought over the years?"
"It's not much, it's only more than 3,000 acres, and your father's shop often needs a lot of money to turnover, so my mother only bought so much."
"Poof!" Li Zexuan almost knelt for his mother, more than 3,000 acres is not much, but he didn't expect that he would be a big landlord.
"Mother, then I'll take this account book away, and I'll give it to you tomorrow when I'm done." Li Zexuan said as he flipped through the ledger.
"Well, that's hard work, my mother will make you something to eat at noon to replenish your brain!" Mrs. Li said with a smile.
"Mother, it's not hard, let the child do these things in the future, in fact, these are really simple for the child, the child doesn't want the mother to spend her mind on these things."
"Well, my mother knows, Xuan'er is so filial, go quickly!"
