Chapter 40: What a coincidence

Judging from the shopkeeper Xu's many years of experience, the man in brocade in front of him is so generous and bold, and he doesn't even wrinkle his eyebrows, which is definitely not the bearing that ordinary people can have.

This person is either a noble gentleman or a wealthy businessman!

It's just that the nobles and gentlemen in Chang'an City, Shopkeeper Xu has basically seen them, and after thinking about it, there is no impression of this person in his memory.

Then beyond that, there is only the possibility of a wealthy businessman.

After all, with Shopkeeper Xu's current identity, it was indeed difficult for him to reach those people.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Xu faintly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"This man...... You can't be digging into my wall......"

Shopkeeper Xu said secretly in his heart.

However, Shopkeeper Xu thought about it in a blink of an eye, and the owner in his mouth was none other than Li Yi, and Shopkeeper Xu's original worried heart instantly became calm.

"Lang Jun, this matter ...... You have to let the villain ask the owner's opinion, and then give Lang Jun an answer. Shopkeeper Xu smiled and replied sincerely, "Lang Jun, please wait here for a while, what do you think?" ”

The man in brocade was stunned, then nodded: "Since this is the case, then I am here, waiting for the good news of Shopkeeper Xu!" ”

"Lang Jun, wait a minute." Shopkeeper Xu laughed again, then turned around and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

……

……

At this moment, in the back kitchen.

Chef Song and several chefs were busy around the boiler, sweating profusely, but they were all like stimulants, happily making a set meal, feeling ...... I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Li Yi, on the other hand, sat leisurely at the door and guarded it, beware of someone coming to steal the teacher.

At the same time, Yue'er was behind him, skillfully pinching his shoulders.

"Yue'er, on the left, a little harder......"

"Hmm...... Point to the left again. ”

"Yes, yes, that's ...... here"

As soon as the shopkeeper Xu lifted the kitchen door curtain, he saw this stark contrast scene at the first glance, and suddenly the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and his cheeks trembled slightly.

“…… Li Gongzi, he will really enjoy life! Shopkeeper Xu said bitterly.

Then he gathered his mind and took two steps forward.

Respectfully bowing to Li Yi, the shopkeeper Xu said: "Childe, someone outside wants to have another 'Orleans Series' package, and the villain rejected him just now, but he wants to meet and discuss with Childe, I don't know Childe...... Can't see it? ”

“…… You're cheap! Suddenly, Li Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Shopkeeper Xu looked stunned on the spot, what is the situation, why did the son suddenly scold people?

Could it be ...... Didn't I come at the right time to disturb Childe's Yaxing?

But when he saw Li Yi, at this moment, he wasn't doing anything unsightly......

Shopkeeper Xu couldn't figure it out at all.

was stunned for a long time, but Shopkeeper Xu still didn't figure out why he was scolded.

So, he had to shrink his head stupidly, lowered his head, and asked softly again: "Childe, what do you mean...... Missing this person? He gave fifty taels of gold! ”

Because he was scolded by Li Yi for no reason just now, at this moment, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly explained the origin of the matter completely clearly.

He didn't want to be scolded by Li Yi anymore.

"Of course not!"

Li Yi closed his eyes slightly, pouted speechlessly, and then slowly opened his eyes and glared at the shopkeeper Xu, "If everyone wants to see this son, where does this son have so much time?" Besides, how can you break the rules because of this! ”

"Uh...... Yes, Childe. Shopkeeper Xu blinked, nodded and said, "The villain understands." ”

Then he turned around, ready to turn away at the man in brocade.

But he didn't want to at this time, just as his front foot had just taken a step, he suddenly heard Li Yi's voice behind him.

"Shopkeeper Xu, what you just said...... How much money did he pay? ”

Shopkeeper Xu stagnated, immediately turned around, stretched out five fingers, and said honestly: "Childe, it's fifty taels of gold." ”

"Let's go." Rolling his eyes, Li Yi slapped his legs violently, stood up from the stool, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and ordered, "Go out with my son, it's okay to see him!" ”

Those who can come up with so many silver taels will definitely not be ordinary people.

No, this person is a rich businessman!

Therefore, Li Yi decided to meet and try his luck to see if he could expand the business route, otherwise it would be too slow to make money.

"......" was the shopkeeper Xu, who opened his mouth slightly after hearing this, and his face was speechless.

Didn't you say yes, Childe?

How did you change your mind so quickly?

However, Shopkeeper Xu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to nod again and again and go out with Li Yi.

Not long after, Li Yi came to the Tianzi No. 1 private room.

And the shopkeeper Xu was also quite sensible, and immediately went alone to invite the man in brocade to the private room, and then guarded the door, beware of others coming to disturb him, and had the intention of being a bodyguard for Li Yi.

As for the strange gazes of everyone around, Shopkeeper Xu completely ignored them.

……

……

Tianzi No. 1 private room.

The man in brocade was just about to open his mouth and say hello to Li Yi, but when he saw Li Yi's familiar face, the whole person was petrified on the spot.

Li ...... Li Gongzi? The man in brocade said with an incredulous face.

He never thought that the proprietor in the mouth of the shopkeeper Xu was actually the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Li Yi and Li Bo'an!

Li Yi raised his head, glanced at the man in brocade, and asked in a daze, "Do you know me?" ”

In Li Yi's impression, it seems that he has never seen this person.

Therefore, seeing him so shocked, Li Yi was a little puzzled in his heart.

"Ahem......" The man in brocade hurriedly coughed softly.

Then, he respectfully made a big salute to Li Yi, only then did he raise his head and say with a serious face: "The villain's name is Zheng An, and his father is the imperial merchant Zheng Fengchi. ”

"Uh, you can sit down first......" Hearing Zheng An say this, although he didn't have any impression of Zheng An, Li Yi knew something about his father.

Zheng Fengchi was the richest merchant in the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that his family property was as rich as the country.

Because he once contributed money and helped Tang Gaozu, since the Gaozu period, he was named the Tang Emperor Shang, and his status is unmatched.

The guy in front of him named Zheng An is actually Zheng Fengchi's son?

"It's really a coincidence...... Li Yi said secretly.

At this time, Zheng An thanked him, and then sat down stupidly, and peeked at Li Yi from time to time out of the corner of his eye, but because Li Yi did not take the lead in speaking, he was a little eager to speak.

Seeing this, Li Yi took a sip of tea slightly, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Zheng, you are curious, why did the son of my dignified official family become the owner of the shopkeeper Xu?" ”

"Uh...... The villain doesn't dare, childe. Zheng An smiled slightly, but his tone was a little calm and natural.

Obviously, he is not a fledgling hairy boy.
