Chapter Seventy-Seven: Liu E and Zhao Zhen
Li Ji braised pork is open all day, and it is not closed until the curfew in the evening, but Li Ji only does business in the morning and morning in the morning, and closes at noon, which is also the business hours of the general morning shop, so that it will not compete with Zhou Laoshi's soup and cake shop for customers, after all, everyone is a friend, and the last time Zhou Laoshi spent money to buy his braised noodles, it also helped him a lot.
It's just that Li Zhang never expected that seeing that the breakfast time had passed, Liu E actually brought someone in, which explains why there are fewer and fewer customers in the store, after all, as the mother of the country, even if she travels in casual clothes, she must bring a lot of people, with them, it is estimated that the guests who want to come to the store have been stopped.
"No need to be polite!" I saw Liu E smiling at this time, and beside her, there was a boy about ten years old, who was relatively tall, but he was chubby and very cute, and his facial features were also very upright, especially a pair of big eyes were very eye-catching, and he was also looking at Li Zhang and his small shop curiously.
Seeing the boy next to Liu E, Li Zhang couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately guessed that the other party was likely to be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Liu E's nominal son Zhao Zhen, who was also his cousin, which made him look at the other party carefully, and found that Zhao Zhen actually looked quite similar to himself, plus Li Zhang's lack of nutrition, which caused him and Zhao Zhen, who was two years younger, to look about the same height, and the two even looked like twins when they stood together.
Zhao Zhen also found that Li Zhang's appearance was very similar to himself at this time, and at this time he couldn't help but touch his face, and his eyes showed a very curious look, it is estimated that he did not expect to see a peer who looks so similar to himself here.
"Why, don't you invite our mother and son to come in and sit down?" Seeing that Li Zhang had been staring at Zhao Zhen, Liu E next to her suddenly smiled and said, when she saw Li Zhang for the first time before, she had a good impression of Li Zhang, in addition to Li Zhang's smart and clever talking, his appearance is also a plus, it is precisely because Li Zhang looks so similar to her son that she unconsciously let down her guard against Li Zhang.
"Madame, please come in!" Li Zhang finally came to his senses when he heard this, and immediately invited Liu E's mother and son into the store, because the store was empty, so Liu E chose a seat to sit down, and Zhao Zhen also sat beside her very well-behaved.
"Didn't you say you were selling braised pork last time, why is it selling breakfast now?" Liu E also turned her head to look at the situation in the store at this time and asked.
"This shop is newly opened, and the braised meat shop next to it is also mine, but since Madame is here, would you like to try the breakfast in our store? Our soup dumplings and spicy soup are very popular! Li Zhang explained and recommended with a smile, although he guessed Liu E's identity, he didn't show it at all, after all, he was a human being in two lives, and he looked down on many things.
"I've also heard others say that your buns are more delicious than those in Wanglou, just yesterday I took Yi'er to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for his father, and I happened to pass by nearby when I went home this morning, so I came to sit here with you!" I saw that Liu E also said with a smile at this time.
She just likes Li Zhang's cleverness, in contrast, although Zhao Zhen is her son, he seems a little wooden, not as smart as Li Zhang looks, so she brought her son here today just to let him learn from Li Zhang.
"Okay, then let's have a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of spicy soup, I don't know what Brother Yi wants to eat?" Li Zhang immediately agreed, and then asked Zhao Zhen next to him, if he remembered correctly, Zhao Zhen's original name should have been Zhao Ying, and it was later changed to Zhao Zhen, so when Liu E called him Yi'er, it also made Li Zhang determine his identity.
"Me?" Zhao Zhen didn't seem to expect Li Zhang to ask himself alone, so he turned his head to look at Liu E next to him, and then said, "It's the same as my mother!" ”
Li Zhang immediately agreed, and then turned around to get them steamed buns and soup, but through the conversation just now, he also found that Zhao Zhen really has no opinions, of course, this is also normal, according to psychology, most children with a strong mother generally show a little cowardice, and their personality is more easy-going, which is the same as Zhao Zhen in history, even if he was sprayed by Bao Zheng with a spit on his face, as an emperor, he was not angry at all, which is also the main reason why he is called Renzong.
After a while, Li Zhang sent the steamed buns and spicy soup over, but at this time, Mrs. Liu suddenly stopped him and said, "Have you eaten?" ”
"It's a bit busy, and I haven't had time to eat." Li Zhang scratched his head at this time and said, because Jin Xiaomei suddenly killed, he didn't have time to eat breakfast at all.
"That's just right, I don't see any other customers in the store, why don't you sit down and eat with us!" Mrs. Liu said again, although there was an inquiry in her words, but her tone was unquestionable.
"Okay, I'll go get some more food!" Li Zhang nodded immediately, he had already figured out Liu E's temper, and as long as it didn't involve trivial matters of principle, he would definitely follow her.
At that moment, Li Zhang also brought himself some food, and he was really hungry at this time, so he took two steamed buns for himself, which made Liu E can't help but say to Zhao Zhen next to him: "Look at other people, they are about the same age as you, but they eat twice as much as you, so that you can grow your body!" ”
"I ...... "I ...... Zhao Zhen also blushed at this time, wanting to refute but didn't know how to speak, fortunately Li Zhang relieved him at this time and said, "Madam misunderstood, usually if I don't work, I usually can't eat so much, and I think that Brother Yi is a little smaller than me, but he is as tall as me, and this body is much stronger than me!" ”
Zhao Zhen is indeed a good character, not only did he get angry with Li Zhang because of his mother's words, but he was also very grateful to Li Zhang for relieving him, and smiled at him at the moment, and then Li Zhang beckoned Liu E's mother and son to taste their own buns, which also diverted Liu E's attention.
It was a little troublesome to eat the soup buns, Li Zhang first demonstrated it, and then Liu E's mother and son also picked up a bun and bit it, and the delicious soup also overflowed, both of them were scalded, but they were quickly impressed by the deliciousness of the buns, although their mother and son usually eat fine clothes, but they rarely eat this kind of street food, which makes the two of them feel very fresh, plus the buns are indeed delicious, which makes the two of them also full of praise.
Li Zhang was also not polite, a mouthful of buns and a mouthful of soup, and quickly filled two cages of steamed buns into his stomach, and he saw that Zhao Zhen seemed to be a little unsatisfied after eating, so he asked again: "Is Brother Yi full, do you want another cage?" ”
Zhao Zhen seemed to be a little moved, but he was a little embarrassed, but at this time Liu E spoke again: "Then go to the cage again, it just so happens that I want to eat two more!" ”
Hearing Liu E say this, Li Zhang immediately brought another cage, Zhao Zhen immediately buried his head and continued to eat steamed buns, but Liu E did not move the chopsticks at this time, but said to Li Zhang with a smile: "How are you doing during this time, have you encountered any trouble in your life?" ”
"I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I feel like I'm doing a good job, but the peach blossoms have been a little prosperous recently, and there are always people who want to introduce me to relatives." Li Zhang replied with a smile, he now treats Liu E as an ordinary elder, and the two are not related by blood, which makes him more relaxed.
"Haha~, wouldn't it be a good thing for someone to tell you kiss?" Liu E couldn't help laughing when she heard Li Zhang's words.
"A good thing is a good thing, but I never thought of getting married so early, not to mention that I still have a sister to take care of, and I don't have any intention of getting married." Li Zhang once again expressed his heart.
Last time, Liu Meifei wanted to marry his daughter to Li Zhang, and he also guessed that the other party was likely to be instructed by Liu E, so Li Zhang also took this opportunity to tell Liu E this time that he did not plan to get married, and he didn't know if it was useful, but at least he showed his attitude.
"My sister has to be taken care of, and the matter of getting married can't be delayed, but what about your sister, why haven't you seen her?" Liu E said lightly at this time, and then asked about the raccoon dog.
"I should have run to play, do you want me to call her to meet you?" Li Zhang looked at the backyard and didn't see the raccoon dog, so he replied.
"No need, there will be time to see her in the future, I came to you today, in fact, I have something important to tell you." I saw Liu E waving her hand at this time, she didn't seem to have much interest in raccoon dogs, but this is normal, after all, in this patriarchal era, girls are not valued in any way.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhang couldn't help but step forward when he heard Liu E's words, at this time Zhao Zhen also finished eating the buns, and he was also stunned when he heard his mother's words, it seems that before he came, Liu E didn't tell him the purpose of coming here, let alone the relationship between Li Zhang and himself.
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to call your father and Xiao Wu, we'll talk about it when they come!" Liu E said again with a smile, it seems that she didn't come here by chance as she just said, but premeditated.
However, Li Zhang became excited when he heard this, Liu E had to call Lu Wu and Li Yonghe before he was willing to say, was he going to publicly announce his identity? In this way, he can openly declare himself to be the emperor's eldest cousin in the future, and of course, the most important thing is that he may be able to take advantage of this identity to take a look at the plane, and maybe he can find something useful from the plane?
