Chapter 11 The Eyes Open the Cannon
The little girl understood the matter, stretched out a finger, shaved her face, and said in a milky voice: "Shame, shame! Fake foreign devils, ashamed to death, laughing for a while, crying for a while, and firing cannons with two eyes. Shame, shame! ”
Chen Xiangfang worked again, took a sip, and made Li Guolou completely surrender, this mother and daughter are people he can't afford to provoke.
Li Guolou sat down, and felt that Huang Qiying and the others looked at him differently, especially Chen Rou was very enthusiastic about him all of a sudden, and began to ask about his family life.
This made Li Guolou's face a little embarrassed, and he was a little slurred when he spoke, refusing to confide in the situation at home, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about, everyone is actually not familiar with it, just talking about the scene. "This······ That ······" Li Guolou kicked the slap a few times under his feet, asking his eldest brother to relieve him.
The thief was clever, and said with a smile: "I said Master Chen, the dishes you cook are really amazing!" It's delicate and delicious, it's the best dish I've ever had. Since you have such a good craft, why do you open Bao Zhilin? Open a restaurant directly, I promise to help you bring five tables of guests every day, and make rich people's money in Beijing, which is the right way. yes, fake foreigners. ”
Wang Wu also relieved Li Guolou and said: "Master Huang, I am a martial artist and don't tell lies, it's really good." If you open a restaurant, I will treat you at home, and I will not brag about it, at least let you have a month's rent. ”
Nabazi said with a smile: "Master Huang, I have also helped you think of the name, it is called Bao Zhi Fang, specializing in royal private dishes, the price takes the middle and high-end route, so that a little rich people can afford to eat, and Bao Zhilin will be taken care of by your apprentice." ”
Chen Rou listened excitedly, and looked at her husband Huang Qiying, they had also discussed several times, but some difficulties could not be solved, so they opened a "Bao Zhilin" in Beijing. In fact, "Bao Zhilin" is their stepping stone, first take root, win a good reputation, and then plan for the future.
Huang Qiying sighed and said: "I can't hide it from the three of us, we are also very confident in the dishes we cook, but you have also seen that to cook this kind of private dish, we must pay attention to the household food, cups and saucers, and the façade, and we can afford a table." A dozen, twenty or thirty tables, we can't do anything. Besides, when the martial arts hall is opened, the Green Gang and the Axe Gang have received a gift, and they will not come to make trouble in the future. If I open a restaurant, they will desperately come to get the monthly silver, if I don't choose a good place, maybe the two major sects will directly shop in my store, don't I find my own guilt? ”
Chen Rou has already seen that the three friends who "smashed the field" respect Na Bazi, and Li Guolou is actually a "gun", and he was played with by Na Bazi.
Chen Rou said softly: "That bazi, my little aunt has a hard life, her husband has been dead for more than a year, her skills are good, but it's a pity that she is a woman, otherwise she would have become a famous chef long ago, but unfortunately no one knows her born in the people." ”
Li Guolou thought that Chen Rou didn't ask about his family affairs, and a table of people was talking about opening a restaurant, so there was no taboo, so he ate a lot of food. But he didn't dare to look at Chen Xiangfang, he still had a secret that no one knew, and the little widow couldn't afford to provoke him.
That bazi is a human spirit, and suddenly understood why Chen Xiangfang only made big eyes on Li Guolou, it turned out that Chen Xiangfang liked little white faces. I'm afraid that this matter is going to be Huang, Li Guolou pretends to be high, and he has never seen fake foreign devils enter the Qinglou. After Li Guolou was dumped by the little girl, he just wanted to vent with his fists and cause trouble everywhere, wasn't it all he who came forward to settle people. Now he has already become a bridge between the "fake foreign devils" in Beijing and the yamen, the "Jinluan Bridge" across the sea, that is, a character like him.
Na Bazi calculated in his heart that he had some money and stored it in a foreign bank to eat interest, which was recommended to him by a fake foreign devil, and he also specially found a century-old European trading house "West India Commercial Bank" to save money. Li Guolou told him that saving money in this trading house was more insurable than his family, because this trading house was a branch of the West India Company, and the imported opium of the Qing Dynasty was underwritten by this company. Although the Chinese people hate the opium invasion to the core, if they really calculate their own pockets, they still have to find the most powerful money bank to save money. Li Guolou also told him not to find a silver village opened by the Chinese people to save money, those are money houses opened by the family, as long as there is a moth or a ruined son in it, all the silver saved in it will be lost, don't calculate the level of gold, start to let you eat a few bites of meat, and then swallow your meat and bones together.
Na Bazi still believes in Li Guolou's vision, he is a fake foreign devil, and he is a person with advanced culture. He is now next to Li Guolou and Wang Xiaocui, which are the two big trees where he can enjoy the coolness, with these two people, Nabazi believes that he can live a good life for a lifetime. Relying on the doorway inside the yamen is by no means a long-term solution, and the Manchus who can keep their mouths clean have gone to the sea, and some people still have backstage. And those who have Li Guolou and Wang Xiaocui as younger brothers, he is the only one in Jingshi.
Now Huang Qiying and Chen Rou threw out a hydrangea, and there was another mystery hidden in it, only he could hear it. People are asking him for help, just see if he has the ability to catch it?
Na Bazi finally calculated clearly, money is stored in the trading house, and he will not be able to make a fortune in his life. After eating this banquet today, I have covered my hat, which has the delicacy of southern dishes and the delicacy of the imperial dining room in the palace. The dishes should be innovative, and they are really full of Han people, and they are tired of eating it. The dishes made by Chen Xiangfang and Chen Rou are amazing, and they will definitely be able to make a name for themselves in Beijing, and with his conch blowing, the signboard of "Baozhifang" can be among the four major restaurants.
Nabazi's face was solemn, and he tapped one finger on the tabletop and said, "Master Huang, I didn't say you, why do you want friends." There is a person here, the money is spent in the water, and next year he will spend a thousand taels of silver to buy an Enke Jinshi. Li Guolou! Big brother wants to wake you up, there is no shortage of Enke Jinshi in the last session of the Beijing Division. The eldest brother advises you not to want to buy a real shortage, to be a clerk first, and with actual officialdom experience, people will dare to use you. You said that you are poor and white now, so you want to ascend to the sky in one step, and ask yourself, will there be such a thing in the world? Your Li family's little family background is all making you bald. ”
Li Guolou drank too much wine, his head rushed, and he shouted: "Big brother, you haven't said this kind of thing until now, what do you mean, I can put a red heart on Enke Jinshi." ”
Nabazi shouted: "Third brother, you have to believe me, don't think about one step to the sky, you are not a relative of the emperor." The eldest brother will find a position as an official for you, you will do it first, and then use the money to pave the way, and you will rise quickly. As for the 1,000 taels of silver, don't hide it in your pocket, the three of us brothers join forces to do business, whether it is the business of the Wang Wu family, or the business house with those fake foreign ghosts, we can all mix well in Beijing. ”
Li Guolou replied: "Big brother, I don't like to do business, I make small calculations all day long, and I am tired of it." If I wanted to do business, I wouldn't be in the capital for a long time, and you don't know this. ”
Chen Rou made a look at Chen Xiangfang, wanting Chen Xiangfang to kill her, she knew that the little aunt had a unique woman's charm, and no man could resist the charm of the little widow.
Chen Xiangfang squirmed for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to shout: "Li Guolou, you are a loser, and you don't feel distressed when you sell Yetian." Big brother advises you with good words, you listen to me. ”
Li Guolou swept Chen Xiangfang's eyes, hurriedly lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything anymore, he couldn't stand Chen Xiangfang's provocation. As for the words of the eldest brother, who didn't listen to it, his life has come to this point, and he has already been led by the nose.
For the fat cow Zhang Tieniu, he is unlucky today. lost a crucial battle in his life, Chen Xiangfang, who usually had a good look at him, beat Li Guolou and entered the door, so he didn't look at him with a straight eye. With such an obvious female chasing man, is there no good man in Bao Zhilin!
The four apprentices had already seen that their master Huang Qiying was very fond of Li Guolou, and they were chatting with great interest until now, and they actually asked his wife Chen Rou to inquire about Li Guolou's family affairs, obviously wanting to be related to Li Guolou. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Li Guolou refused to enter the set, although the young man was thin-skinned, he was by no means a forgetful person.
When Na Bazi heard what Li Guolou said to him, he said "good"! knew that Li Guolou surrendered and admitted defeat. Li Guolou's temper has long been figured out, as long as he agrees, he will not change it, he is a "donkey".
That bazi is going to beat the water donkey, and the words change, and the delicate game is settled. Li Guolou had no regrets, and followed the donkey ride to the black.
Nabazi stood up and said, "Come, let's make a toast to the longevity of friendship." Third brother, your girls chirp egg buns, stand up for me, don't embarrass our masters. ”
Li Guolou kicked that bazi, he could only get up and take a sip with everyone, Zhu Yeqing was like a fire, burning in the throat, and his whole body began to get hot, with a stream of hot blood, he gritted his teeth and poured two cups of Zhu Yeqing into his stomach. He's not drunk, he's just drinking, and anyone who has drunk this feeling will have it, drink some tea, chat for a while, and let the excitement pass. It's just that the people on the side look ugly, and a pig's head is sitting next to it.
Lingling gnawed on the chicken legs, her eyes stared at Li Guolou, and now everyone at the table was looking at him, who called him a special image, which made people want to toast with Li Guolou three more times. Although I know that this is not kind, isn't it just to see people make a fool of themselves at the banquet?
The fat cow stood up and wanted to salute Li Guolou's wine, but was blocked by the bastard. Na Bazi said: "Fat cow, don't stare at you like an enemy, maybe everyone will be relatives in the future." The fake foreign devil is no longer good, you let him rest for a while, and I will drink with you. We've seen it in the past, right, where? ”
