Chapter 69: Are You Engaged?

Li Zhang stirred up the blind date, but he still persuaded Lu Wu to come back, and Li Yonghe also came out at this time, so Li Zhang simply invited them to go home and sit down, and in the end Lu Wu couldn't resist him, so he could only come back with Li Yonghe, but Li Zhang didn't take them back to Li Ji braised pork, but came to the yard next to him that was ready to open an early shop.

"You...... When did you rent this place out? Lu Wu was also very surprised when he saw this new courtyard, when they ambushed that party item, they were actually ambushed in the wing of this courtyard, so he was also very familiar with this place.

"I just rented it a few days ago, and the wife of the landlord, Brother Meng, was pregnant, so she went home to raise the baby, so she rented this place to me." Li Zhang explained with a smile, and then he asked Lu Wu and Li Yonghe to sit down and rest for a while, and it was not early at this time, so Li Zhang went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After a while, a few cages of soup dumplings, and a large pot of fried dough sticks were served, during this time Li Zhang has been studying these breakfasts, the materials in the kitchen are ready-made, so they are ready to be done quickly, and they can't be too spicy at night, so the spicy soup is not made, but boiled into eight-treasure porridge with various grains, although they are all early, but it is no problem to eat them at night.

"Are you a cave plum bun?" Lu Wu looked at the soup dumplings in front of him and asked with some doubts, Wang Lou's cave plum blossom buns are very famous, and he used to eat them often, but after becoming a team leader, his income was too low, and the price of Wang Lou was too expensive, so he couldn't afford it now.

"Pretty much, but my one tastes better!" Li Zhang said with a smile.

"It's really fake, Wang Lou's buns are a must in Tokyo, even the people in the palace run to buy some from time to time, can your buns be even better than Wang Lou's buns?" When Lu Wu heard this, he asked in disbelief.

"You'll know if you taste it!" Li Zhang smiled and put a basket of steamed buns in front of Lu Wu, and then looked at Li Yonghe, who had been laughing dryly next to him, and sighed in his heart and put a basket of steamed buns in front of him, which made Li Yonghe also overjoyed, and just wanted to say something, but found that Li Zhang didn't look at him at all at all, which made him also smile embarrassedly and shut his mouth.

Lu Wu gently picked up a bun with chopsticks, and found that the skin of the bun was extremely thin, and the filling inside could be vaguely seen, and then he opened his mouth to swallow the whole bun, but was hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Wu, the soup in it is very hot, you need to take a small bite to drink the soup first, and then dip the bun in vinegar sauce to make it more delicious." ”

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Lu Wu also tried according to his words, but as soon as he bit into the skin of the bun, there was immediately an extremely delicious soup gushing out, although it was very hot, but people were reluctant to spit it out, and Li Yonghe next to him was also shivering, but he still sucked out all the soup.

"It's so fresh, it's so fragrant!" Lu Wu finally swallowed the soup, and couldn't help but praise loudly at the moment, and then dipped the bun in the vinegar sauce sent by Li Zhang and ate it in one bite, and immediately felt that the meat aroma of the whole bun gushed out, and it was really stronger than the cave plum blossom bun he had eaten before.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Wu and Li Yonghe, Li Zhang also smiled proudly, the filling of this soup dumpling has also been compared and modified many times, this is the best one of them, but unfortunately there is no crab roe now, otherwise if you make crab roe buns, the taste will be more fragrant.

The soup dumplings were very small, and a few steamed buns quickly entered the stomachs of Lu Wu and Li Yonghe, and then Li Zhang let the two of them taste the fritters, speaking of fritters, don't look at this thing in the later generations all over the street, but in the Northern Song Dynasty there was not, it is said that the invention of the fritters was because Qin Hui killed Yue Fei, so the people kneaded the noodles into villains and fried them in the oil pot, named fried juniper, and later for convenience, directly cut the noodles into small strips and fried, which is the origin of the fritters.

During Li Zhang's period, Yue Fei and Qin Hui were not yet born, and naturally there was no such thing as fritters. In later generations, fritters were regarded as the lowest grade civilian food, and ordinary people could afford to buy them, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was completely different, mainly because the oil in the Northern Song Dynasty was too expensive, and frying fritters was more oil-intensive, so the production cost of Li Zhang's fritters was not low.

Although later generations think that fried food is unhealthy, there are still many people who regard fritters as a must-have for breakfast, mainly because the fritters are really delicious, the outside is charred and the inside is tender and there is oil and water, so Lu Wu and Li Yonghe are also very satisfied.

"It's delicious, you kid is really good at cooking!" Lu Wu stuffed the last fritter into his stomach, and immediately couldn't help but praise again, he had also eaten in fine clothes and jade before, and he often ate the imperial food of the Shang Food Bureau, but he felt that it was not as good as Li Zhang's two things to eat earlier.

"Uncle Wu, if you like it, the breakfast shop here will open in two days, and then Uncle Wu, don't go to other places to eat, just come to me every day!" Li Zhang spoke again at this time.

Lu Wu is alone, three meals a day are solved outside, but his income is not high, he used to take care of Li Zhang and Tanuki, which made his life even more difficult, usually he usually finds a small stall for dinner, even if it is not delicious, the most important thing is unhygienic, although Lu Wu is strong, but after all, he is not young, and his body's resistance is also declining, maybe he will have to lie down for a few days if he eats a bad stomach.

"This ......" Lu Wu heard that Li Zhang asked him to come to him for dinner every day, but he showed a hesitant expression, because he used to take care of Li Zhang's brothers and sisters, but now he suddenly reversed, which made him still a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Wu, don't hesitate, you have taken care of Da Lang and Tanuki over the years, and now that they have grown up, we should be filial piety!" At this moment, Li Yonghe also opened his mouth to persuade, but when it came to the end, he didn't know whether he was unintentional or deliberate, and he actually put himself and Lu Wu on the list of filial piety.

Although Li Zhang felt that he should honor Lu Wu, he had a lot of complaints about Li Yong and this irresponsible father, and he couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard this, as if he couldn't understand how he had the courage to say the word "filial piety"?

Li Yonghe was also stared at by Li Zhang, and smiled awkwardly again: "What, I'll go see the raccoon dog first, you talk!" ”

Li Yonghe ran away to the store next to him as if he was running away, Li Zhang was also secretly helpless when he saw this, how could he be such a scoundrel-like father?

"Da Lang, don't blame your father, it's not easy for him!" Lu Wu also saw what Li Zhang was thinking at this time, so he opened his mouth to persuade.

"Uncle Wu, you don't have to say it, he can do whatever he likes, as long as he doesn't drag me down anymore!" Li Zhang shook his head weakly at this time and said, Li Yonghe has completely turned into a mud that can't support the wall in his eyes, so he has already given up any hope for him.

"I can't say that, I still have you in my heart and practicality, for example, last time he stole the money in your store to gamble, it was because he knew that you were in a hurry to use the money, so he wanted to help you, but he had no other ability, so he could only use the money to go to the casino to play a game of luck, but in the end he still lost, and as a result, he didn't have the face to come back to see you during this time." Lu Wu spoke again at this time.

"Even if he has good intentions, he can't use gambling as a method!" Li Zhang frowned again.

"You should be disgusted with gambling, but your father actually has his own difficulties, and your father is not only timid and good at gambling, but also a good person, and he has done a lot of things for your brothers and sisters, you will know in the future!" Lu Wu spoke again to persuade, and when it came to the end, he seemed to be a little eager to say something, but in the end he didn't say much.

Li Zhang showed a thoughtful expression when he heard Lu Wu's words, because he felt that the other party had something to say, and then said with a solemn face: "Uncle Wu, that Mrs. Liu ......"

But before Li Zhang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Wu: "Don't ask anything about Mrs. Liu, and I won't tell you anything about her, you will naturally know later!" ”

After Lu Wu finished speaking, he stood up, it seemed that he really didn't want to discuss anything about Mrs. Liu with Li Zhang, which made Li Zhang also show a disappointed expression, just now, he even wanted to have a showdown with Lu Wu, telling him that he already knew Mrs. Liu's true identity, but now looking at Lu Wu's appearance, I am afraid that even if he says Liu E's name, he will still be tight-lipped.

That night, Li Yonghe lived in the house again, mainly because the raccoon dog was reluctant to let him go, and Li Zhang couldn't bear to make his sister sad, so he acquiesced to this matter, anyway, there was an extra yard at home, and he was not short of a bed, but Li Yonghe, the money in the family, didn't want to contact again.

Three days later, the early shop finally opened, still like the last braised meat shop, although there is no big deal, but prepared a lot of early for people to try, but compared to the cheap braised meat, the early price in the early shop is a bit expensive, the average person is really reluctant to eat every day, of course, there are also rich people who are not short of money, as long as they try it once, most people will become repeat customers in the store.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, let's have another cage!" Jin Shan swallowed a cage of soup dumplings into his stomach, and then shouted to Li Zhang again that Li Zhang's new store was opened, and he naturally wanted to come to cheer.

"No, unless you lose a hundred pounds, don't think about eating anymore!" Li Zhang sat down in front of Jinshan with a smile at this time and said, it just opened today, although there are many people who attract people to try it, there are not many people who are really willing to spend money, so the store is not very busy.

"You're too deductible, just one cage is enough for me to eat, and I've been doing it according to the list you opened in the past few days, and I've lost a few pounds more than a few days ago." Jin Shan patted the fat on his body at this time.

Li Zhang's list is still very satisfied, at least he can eat meat, the only dissatisfaction is that he has to exercise every day, even if he can't run, he has to walk slowly for an hour, and he can tire him out of weakness every day, but the effect is also obvious.

"It's because of the effect that I rewarded you with a basket of steamed buns, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to taste one." Li Zhang glanced at him and said, weight loss is important to insist, and it is most taboo to dry the net for two days, otherwise it will not have any effect at all.

Seeing that Li Zhang resolutely stopped giving him buns, Jin Shan couldn't help but show a depressed expression, but soon he thought of the purpose of coming today, and couldn't help showing a hesitant expression at the moment, and only after a while did he say tentatively: "Li Zhang, are you engaged?" ”
