The Great Wilderness City, located in the southwest of Dongyou Road, is completely different from the capital Fengjing. This capital city of Dongyou Road was originally built by the ancestors of the Li family for many years of painstaking management. Therefore, in today's Great Wilderness City, whether it is a shop or a restaurant, or a tea and wine shop, the Li family is indispensable to shuttle through it.

However, even if the Li family single-handedly established the Great Wilderness City, the ancestors of the Li family also had an iron law: no descendant of the Li family is allowed to participate in industries unrelated to food. It is precisely because of this family example that these descendants of the Li family, who have made a fortune, can only 'honestly' uphold the teachings of their ancestors.

However, as the saying goes, 'there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom'; since the ancestors left a legacy and were not allowed to engage in other industries, then the distribution of dividends from banks and shares cannot be regarded as a violation of the ancestors' teachings, right?

Today, the large and small industries of Dongyou Road are involved in the shares of the Li family. This way of operation of shareholding is still the 'Nanren financial management magic skill' that Li Gao, a relative of the Li family, heard from a Nankang businessman. At the beginning, those descendants of the Li family were still able to cooperate with others honestly: either they invested in silver and shares, or borrowed capital and interest, and they could barely be called normal business dealings; But after they 'became masters', these 'smart' descendants of the Li family gave birth to many new 'tricks'.

They either 'used their bodies as shares' to 'work' in other people's shops with a famous brand and collect their 'wages' on time every month, or they used the Li family's signboard to buy some dry shares, and even directly saved the wood used to make the famous brand, and only needed to collect the silver on time, which was even tougher than the tax collectors of the imperial court.

This kind of stubborn and dirty thing, they can do it as simple as eating and drinking, the so-called forced buying and selling, bullying and dominating the market, there is no psychological pressure.

Despite this, from the bright side, the Li family is still doing honest business of buying and selling grain; But in fact, the Great Wilderness City has long become the plaything of the Li family.

In fact, the ancestors of the Li family had already suffered all the sorrows in the world when they went south and north because they were engaged in business and selling goods. After saving such a large piece of family business, with their knowledge and experience, they have long expected that if future generations are not filial and virtuous, it will definitely lead to today's situation.

Therefore, they set up such a rigid family rule that is almost impersonal, just to prevent the Great Wilderness City, a famous 'merchant paradise' in the Huayu Continent, from becoming a 'self-reserved land' for the Li family.

It's a pity that it's easy to start a business and it's hard to keep a business, and in a hurry, the Great Wilderness City has become the one they are most worried about.

Today, Shen Gui walked on the main street of the Great Wilderness City, and only felt that no matter men, women, children, rich or poor, they could be simply divided into two types of people in this city - one was the Li family and the other was outsiders.

Needless to say, the Li family is the so-called back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, no matter how old they are, the status of the clan, they all walk with a momentum for no reason, they all raise their heads and raise their faces, and there are no idlers passing by within a foot of the surrounding range; It looks so proud, it looks so unstoppable;

And those outsiders are all numb and empty. Whether they are dressed rich or poor; Whether they are literati or businessmen, they all have a stiff and cold face. Not only that, if they saw those Li family members passing by with their heads held high, they would immediately lower their heads, and then stop their movements and step aside, letting these Li family members take the first step......

It's not that Shen Gui hasn't seen a person with a noble status, whether it's the Yan family's grandfather who is 'not very normal' in his brain, or his future father-in-law Li Deng, they can be regarded as characters who cover the sky in Youbei, right? But even if these people appeared in Fengjing City, the people on the street would at most whisper, and they would not be afraid to look like them at all; Even if they don't put up a formal guard of honor, and there are many brave people, they will come forward to talk to them, even if it is not a new thing to directly 'report' those cool officials and dog slaves on the street......

But now these arrogant Li family members look like they are all dressed as minions in Tsing Yi and small hats, but that majesty is even more than Yan Hunting back then!

Shen Gui took Li Le'an, who disguised himself as a handsome young man, and Liu Banxian, who was carrying a hexagram flag, and the three of them walked into a small restaurant on the street together.

"Man, what do you have to eat here?"

As soon as Shen Gui finished shouting, a thin man in his early twenties ran to Shen Gui's side as quickly as he could. But the strange thing is that this young man did not rush to reply, but first looked up and down the dress of the three guest officers, and then made a cold face:

"Somen noodles, vegetable buns...... What to eat? ”

Shen Gui was also accustomed to these guys who looked down on people, and he didn't care about his cold words in the face of him, but pointed to the plates of cut sauce meat on the counter, and asked the guy:

"Don't you have sauce meat on the counter? Let's have two sets...... Six more meat buns, three bowls of somen noodles, and a pot of good wine...... Don't be afraid, we'll have the money to pay the bills. ”

After hearing this, the young man smiled, and did not rush to the counter to get the meat, but looked left and right a few times, then lowered his head and said to Shen Gui:

"The three brothers are all from other places, right? I'm afraid I don't know the price of vegetables in this big deserted city...... Don't blame the villain for talking too much, there are some things I have to say in my head anyway, so as not to cause any misunderstanding when a few people meet the accounts, it won't be very decent......"

In good conscience, this young man's words were also out of kindness, and there was nothing rude in his words. It's just a small restaurant, no matter how expensive it is, how expensive can it be?

But Li Le'an, who has not been angry recently, is unhappy. Obviously, this eldest lady of the Li family plans to vent all the nameless fire in her belly on this young man:

"People say that those who open a shop are not afraid of a big-bellied man, but now it seems that the rules of your small restaurant are more complicated than those in the palace! What's wrong? Although our clothes are a little shabby, we can't come to your small restaurant for a meal, and we can't meet the account first? How can there be a reason in the world to pay money before eating? Master, I'm going to call you this board today! Do you want to eat this meal or not? ”

Speaking of this, Li Le'an stood up with a 'whoosh', and picked up the long bag around him again: I don't have to ask, I know that there must be a blade wrapped in this baggage.

"Hey, this master, what are you doing here? The small ones are also out of a good heart...... I have to get it, I have already said it, and if you don't listen to it, it's just a few of yourself. I'm nosy, so I'll get food for the three of you! Wait a minute......"

This young man didn't care about Li Le'an's violent temper, but smiled very mysteriously. After saying the words of 'say 'forgiveness', he turned around and walked to the front of the counter, picked up a plate of fresh beef sauce, and sang in the direction of the back kitchen:

"Six meat buns, three bowls of somen ......"

Just when Shen Gui and the three of them were drinking and eating meat in confusion, a middle-aged man dressed in embroidered clothes came to the side of the street: this person's head was very clean and neat, and there was a warm and transparent mutton fat jade pendant on his waist; Now he was holding a broken tooth fan in his hand, and he was pounding the back of his neck down and down......

"Your Excellency, did you wake up early today? Come on, come on, the villain will wipe the seat for you, and then soak a pot of thick incense tablets to clean the stomach, so that you can have breakfast, isn't ......"

The young man changed his service attitude, and his enthusiastic appearance was as if he had seen his father, who was extremely wealthy and terminally ill, and his flattering expression made Shen Gui and the three of them fight a cold war.

"I said sticks, don't blame the master for not reminding you, the profit of your shop, you should pay it now......"

"Master Li, are you confused! This Qingming has just passed, and the profit and silver are still delivered to your house in person before Qingming! Of course, it's normal that you can't remember such a small account as you are! Don't worry, don't keep this in mind in the future, it's not worth thinking about! When the day comes, I will bring the money to the house......

"Oooh oh...... Yes, yes, Qingming just cleared the account...... Then tell your shopkeeper, Master Li, shouldn't my salary also rise? ”

"Oops...... Turn around and tell our shopkeeper, you don't bother with such a trivial matter, let's eat first, if you are hungry, you can't afford to tear down our small shop! ……”

Between the two of them singing and harmonizing, Shen Gui and Li Le'an, who were eavesdropping next to them, were angry!

Dare to love this little guy called 'stick', either he can't speak, or he can't talk to himself! Li Le'an just wanted to lift the table, but he didn't expect Shen Gui to stretch out a big hand and press it directly on her shoulder; Immediately afterwards, Li Le'an's ears came with the heat that Shen Gui brought out when he spoke:

"Don't startle the snake, this person is surnamed Li!"

A very ordinary sentence made Li Le'an blush. So, without saying anything, she continued to hold the meat bun with both hands and ate it in small bites.

Of course, there are no northern and southern dishes in the small restaurant, no matter how noble this Li Ye's identity is, all he can eat is steamed buns and noodles. However, unlike Shen Gui and the others, this Li Ye only took a bite of the bun and threw it on the ground, then scolded and muttered a few words, turned around and walked out of the door of the restaurant.

As if he had expected it, the 'stick' bent down and picked up the meat bun that he had bitten from the ground, sat down in the position of Li Ye just now, and ate a mouthful of noodles that had not moved......

"Hey, I said sticks...... Who is that man? Let Shen Ye and I look at it, he is quite ......"

"Poof!"

Shen Gui's words came out of his lips, and the stick instantly squirted out all the noodles in his mouth! Then he stood up nervously, ran to the outside of the restaurant and looked left and right several times, and after finding that no one was paying attention in private, he hurriedly ran back to Shen Gui and whispered:

"The three of you are from Waifu, so naturally you don't know how different this group of bastards surnamed Li is!"

After he finished saying this, Li Le'an's face suddenly flashed. But this time, the eldest lady of the Li family held back her temper and didn't say a word......
