Li Guolou was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he never talked to Ai Hai again along the way. But the carriage had already arrived at the door of Yao Cuo's house in the Terracotta Hutong, and Li Guolou could only squeeze out a smiling face, jumped out of the carriage and hugged Yao Cuo's eldest son Yao Shuangxi, who greeted him.

Yao Shuangxi, who was leaking his tongue, shouted as soon as he saw Li Guolou: "Uncle Li tells stories, Uncle Li tells stories." ”

Li Guolou hugged Yao Shuangxi and said with a smile: "Good little Uncle Li tells stories, I want to listen to the stories of the Three Kingdoms or the stories of the Bible." ”

Yao Shuangxi exclaimed, "I want to listen to the story of the Bible." ”

Yao Cuo said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, you see what Bible stories you tell, in the future, my son will believe in Catholicism, and I will settle accounts with you." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said, "Big brother, how could it be? It's a mythical story, just like the story of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it also educates people to be good, and it won't bring your son badly. ”

I wondered if he had such a lot of magic? Was Ai Hai taken by him? It seems that the eight poles can't be beaten, Ai Hai and Honggu look at each other, no matter what his relationship is, he just sent the task to Ai Hai and asked Ai Hai to solve the problem of Honggu being harassed by the ruffians and hooligans, what happened next? He didn't know. Li Guolou justified himself after a while, freed him from the predicament, no longer bothered about Wang Kuaizui, and was dumped by someone. He was dumped by Xie Yunfang, who was married, and he didn't live well.

Gu Yongping smiled and said: "Little Lizi, looking at the way you hold a child, you know when to hold your son." ”

Li Guolou laughed and said: "Sister-in-law, the rules can't be messed up, I haven't hugged my wife yet, how can I hold my son, step by step, isn't it my eldest brother and second brother." ”

Wu Defu said: "Little Lizi, it seems that you don't pay attention to the rules, and you will be a father before you get married, and those who break the rules will be severely punished." ”

The people on the side laughed together. Li Guolou is the object of their fun, whoever calls him thick-skinned, he will not be angry when others say sarcastic things.

Li Guolou replied: "Second brother, you don't understand, this is called eating ready-made meals, you don't have this blessing." ”

Wu Defu said with a smile: "I don't want this blessing, I will divide the family property in the future, I don't want to annoy my children to death, I won't do this kind of thing with trouble." ”

Gu Yongping took a sip of them and said angrily: "My son is still young, why are you talking about this, be serious as an elder." ”

Wu Defu said happily: "Sister-in-law, we are all serious people, we don't listen to small songs, and we can't take bad brothers." One day the eldest brother marries the younger one, no matter what happens to us, who is making waves in it, you should be clear. ”

How many men are rich who don't marry a little wife? Gu Yongping sighed: "I just hope that everything will be prosperous, don't marry a fox spirit and come back, and break the door." ”

Yao Cuo is still serious, as if he never does bad things, and the reason why he doesn't return home at night is because he is busy with official business.

Li Guolou shouted: "Why are you looking at me, I am out working on cases all day long, and I don't go out to play with my eldest brother." Double happiness, let's ignore them and tell a story. ”

Yao Cuo, Wu Defu, Li Guolou, Lu Haikong, Xing Yunfeng, Ai Hai, and Wang Xiaocui gathered in the Chunfeng Teahouse, like an evening dinner between colleagues, which was a secret club activity for them. Sleepless nights after nights, they spend here, and here they hide hidden secrets. This is their first stronghold, and now the main personnel are not many and enough.

They are now dividing the territory and looking for a spokesperson for the territory, Wang Xiaocui (Wang Wu) has joined this society, and many things that are inconvenient for the yamen to do are to be done by him. He is now mixed in with several big brothers, not showing his face, and only playing the role of obeying orders.

Li Guolou is still holding Yao Shuangxi, he can't escape the entanglement of children without finishing the story, who calls him good-tempered, he likes to rub his tongue with children.

As soon as Li Guolou stepped into the Chunfeng Teahouse, he exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, you have changed everything in your house, what a big stroke." ”

The Spring Breeze Teahouse is refreshing, with beautiful tables and chairs neatly arranged, which is still a teahouse for ordinary people, and it is clearly a guest room for large families.

Gu Yongping chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Xiao Lizi, the price remains the same, I still like to deal with old neighbors, and now there is a troupe in the afternoon and evening, and it is usually very lively here." ”

Li Guolou was shocked and said, "Ah, I haven't been here for three days, who came up with the idea to exhaust my sister-in-law." is still singing, isn't it a loss-making business? ”

Yao Cuo said with a bitter face: "I don't agree, there's no way, the wind on the pillow is infinitely powerful, I can only pinch my nose and admit it." ”

Li Guolou shook his head, women are not peaceful, men make money hard, Gu Yongping tossed and had fun, and now Yao Cuo has a little money to spare, so he drove into the troupe at the door of his house. In the future, Gu Yongping will have a bigger and bigger appetite, and one day he will raise a team of actors like those princes. This is also a product of the times, and it is also the highest pursuit of people at that time. Rich people give gifts, the most fashionable is to give a troupe, the cost of which is large, all of which are done by princes and nobles.

A person who is a little lower is to send a singer, and the silver spent by a singer in a big city is thousands of taels of silver, and the rich people of the Qing Empire live this kind of drunken life.

Li Guolou turned his head and said, "Second brother, do the people in your family have this preference?" ”

Wu Defu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, Xiao Lizi still tells a story." ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Li Guolou spits hard to talk about the Bible. Coaxed Yao Shuangxi, Gu Yongping took her eldest son back to the backyard and went to prepare for the dinner. There was only a group of big men left in the teahouse, and they didn't hesitate to speak.

Everyone is waiting for Zhao Yao from Yipintang to come to dinner, there is no big deal, just to know each other, worship the mountain and recognize the eldest brother. began to talk about the mother-in-law's mother, and mixed private affairs and official affairs to tell and pass the time.

Wu Defu finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Big brother, it's all your fault, the mouth in my house was damaged by my sister-in-law, and I am addicted to listening to singing." Now that I'm out on the front foot, she goes into the theater, talking in her sleep in the middle of the night, and she is singing, what do you say about this? ”

Yao Cuo scratched his head and glanced at Li Guolou and said, "I have come to experience, and women can't let them be idle at home. I heard Wang Wu say that Xiao Fang's Baozhi room is about to open, when will Xiao Lizi open? ”

Li Guolou didn't think much about it, and said casually: "The decoration is almost done, the Spring Festival will be in a month, isn't it that the guests have all returned to their hometowns?" There is no business, so I am ready to let Xiaofang open after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. ”

Yao Cuo pointed to Li Guolou and said: "This is open, we all go to the show, let my wife help, she also likes to cook, anyway, you can also sing there, learn to cook while listening to the play, this kind of life is meaningful." ”

Wang Wu nodded and said, "Big brother is right, I haven't eaten Xiaofang's dishes for a long time, and the worms in my stomach have come out." ”

Everyone shouted together, ordering Li Guolou to let Baozhi Fang open as soon as possible, they all had to go to the party, they could order meals during the Spring Festival, and so many families could get together to play mahjong.

Li Guolou disagreed, this is not to let him die of exhaustion during the Spring Festival alone, others eat, drink and have fun, but he has become a servant of others.

Li Guolou argued: "Everyone, Xiaofang likes to open a restaurant, whatever she does, what do we big men do." ”

Wu Defu asked, "Wang Wu, Xiaofang really knows how to cook." ”

Wang Wu said with a smile: "Xiaofang's dead husband is from Shijiazhuang, a descendant of the Zheng family, you know the second brother." ”

The Zheng family has produced many royal chefs for several generations, and they are also the top chefs appointed by the Qing Empire, which means that many people in the Zheng family are eunuchs, so Wang Wu's face has become obscene.

Wu Defu suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I see, Xiao Lizi is awkward, the old man promised, so many brothers cheered you up, what do you ask for, then I will ask Master Bao to give you an inscription, and you will be able to make money in the future." ”

Li Guolou couldn't cry or laugh, and it wasn't the emperor's inscription, who came to eat to see the words of the bag? But this face said that he would give anything, so he reluctantly nodded to the brothers' request to let Baozhi House open as soon as possible.

What is Yao's idea, how can Li Guolou not know? The eldest brother also wanted to open a restaurant, so he no longer put his mind on a teahouse, ran to his territory to steal the teacher, and said: "Help!" He has no other expectations, only asks his sister-in-law Gu Yongping to open a restaurant in the future, not to use the signboard of "Baozhi Room". The businessman's signboard is money, which can be left to future generations, and he is not willing to sue others for the signboard of "Baozhifang" in the future.

As soon as Li Guolou agreed, Wu Defu said: "Little Lizi, let my wife also come to help, and let your Baozhi room flourish in the future." ”

Now Li Guolou quit, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, second brother, make two more Baozhi houses in Beijing, don't let this business plummet." ”

Wu Defu hurriedly defended: "Hey, my own brother, how can we do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, my wife is from Tianjin, it is a good place, the back garden of the rich." ”

Hearing that Wu Defu had abandoned the position of the Jingshi, Li Guolou turned to look at Yao Cuo and asked, "Big brother, what about you?" ”

Yao Cuo rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "You guys, it's all a small fight, I have already calculated it, and I will open a club with eating, drinking and entertainment in the future, Baozhi Room is just a restaurant inside, we put the Tianzihao headquarters in it, but the name has not yet been started, you can sum it up together, what kind of name is the most popular." ”

Wu Defu suddenly came to his senses and said: "Well, the eldest brother still has the courage to open a hall, and the money will be made every day in the future." ”

All the brothers cheered together and cheered loudly, all agreeing with the idea of the eldest brother Yao Cuo and the second brother Wu Defu.

Li Guolou drank a glass of water and sighed: "You are all frogs at the bottom of the well, how much money can you have when a guild hall makes money every day, it's not that I said you, you are short-sighted and can't keep up with the pace of the times." In the future, I will not let you participate in the business I do, and I will be bored alone. ”

Hula, around the seat where Li Guolou was sitting, he was surrounded by all the brothers, and the water could not be drained. Everyone started a good life thanks to Li Guolou, how could they let this goldfish swim away.
