It wasn't until the second watch that Hai Zhongtian went home happily, tonight was the guest invited by Li Qing, this person is really good, interesting and generous, he is really a righteous person, and he is worthy of deep friendship.

The wine is on the head, Hai Zhongtian is a little confused, the carriage soon arrived at the side door of Haifu, the rules of Haifu are very strict, the gate has been closed, Haizhongtian has arranged a person to open the side door for himself, when it has been two watches, the house is very quiet, most of them have slept, Haifu is divided into three compounds, respectively, there are three brothers of the Hai family, the east courtyard is the long, is Hailan live; The west courtyard is second, and the sea dominates; And the side courtyard is naturally Hai Ming's second brother Hai Ming, who is Hai Ming's eldest son.

He estimated that everyone was asleep, so he tiptoed into the side courtyard, but just as he was passing through the living room, he suddenly heard a low shout: "Stop! ”

There was a stirring spirit in the sky, and I saw my father standing at the door of the living room with his hands in his hands, his eyes burning with anger, staring at him deadly.

He was so frightened that his drunkenness disappeared, and he was uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "It's so late, hasn't my father slept yet?" ”

"Humph! With a son like you, can I sleep? I've been waiting for you since it was dark, I want you to come back at the right time, it means that you are repenting, if you come back at the right time, I will be saved by you, but now it's the second watch, I saw you return home, how can you let me sleep! ”

"What's wrong with my father today, I haven't come over like this all these days, why is he so wordy today?" Hai Zhongtian was surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Come here, I have something to say to you!"

Although Heilan and Haiming are half-brothers, their appearance is very different, Heilan is a dry old man, Haiming is fat and mighty, and his son Hai Zhongtian looks as ugly as usual, he is silent on weekdays, and he takes cockfighting as fun, but today the eldest brother handed over the Hai family's catering business to him, and his mood changed.

"You sit down first!"

There was no light in the room, and I saw my father's two slender eyes shining in the dark, and Hai Zhongtian felt strange in his heart, feeling as if his father was going to tell him something that could not be seen in the light.

"Do you know that your uncle transferred part of the Hai family's property to me today!" Hemming tried to speak in a flat tone, but the trembling tone of his voice still revealed the tension in his heart.

"Uncle is willing to give us the property?" Hai Zhongtian couldn't believe his ears a little, the Hai family's industry was laid by his great-grandfather, and all of it was passed on to his father's generation, Hailan Hailan, he controlled it very strictly, for decades, his father couldn't even touch the edge, but today he changed his sex, he seemed to hear the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Humph! He was also no longer used, so he thought of me, if it hadn't been for the accident at Wangjiang Restaurant yesterday, I wouldn't even have a ball hair. ”

Although he is in charge of part of the industry, Haiming does not appreciate it at all, this should have been his, not to mention that the eldest brother only gave him the right to operate, but not the property rights, to put it bluntly, he is just a big shopkeeper hired by the eldest brother.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his son again, his fat body in the dark was the same as himself, but if he could have half of his ability, he would have an extra helper, but he was a swinger, and Haiming hated and helpless.

"Zhongtian, take care of yourself! Help Daddy get back our share of it, and it will be yours in the future. ”

Hearing a word, Hai Zhongtian suddenly felt a panic in his heart, he didn't have much ambition, he was content with his current life, he had a wife at home, a confidant outside, he wrote a few poems in his spare time, or called three or five friends to get drunk, how leisurely the days were, but his father wanted to mention something to grab the word, and he was in a bad mood, and Hai Zhongtian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Is my father trying to deal with my uncle?"

"Deal with?" Heming snorted heavily: "Not bad! Why did he have the property left by his ancestors? ”

The seeds of hatred that had been buried for decades began to sprout, to sprout, and to grow wildly.

"I must take my share back!" Heming slapped the back of the chair fiercely, and a light that had never been shot out of his cloudy eyes before.

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

There are not many dishes, mainly Yizhou dishes with heavy and spicy taste, each of which is exquisitely made and ingenious, so that people dare not eat it.

Today is the grandest banquet in the history of Wangjiang Restaurant, all the shopkeepers, foremen, men, and cooks are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, all of them are hoarse, their eyes are red, Li Qing has already held a mobilization meeting in advance, as long as this birthday banquet is successful, everyone will have a heavy reward.

Time passed little by little, the process was almost over, the old birthday star was exhausted, sitting on the chairman and drowsy, I don't know if Li Qing deliberately arranged it, or there were too many people, the hall was stuffy and unbearable, and the hearts of every guest seemed to be on fire.

"Proprietor Li, I've worked hard for you today!" Zhang Qiu and Qiong patted Li Qing on the shoulder, his eyes were appreciative, today was indeed a success, the old lady was very satisfied, and the guests were also happy.

Li Qing was flattered, and said with a smile: "It should be the villain who is grateful to the festival to make the adults a talent, this banquet is equivalent to making an excellent publicity for the shop, and I will ask the adults to take care of it in the future, I am really worried that someone will not stop!" ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong understood what Li Qing meant, and said with a faint smile: "Since there is still Li Beijia's part here, I will naturally help him keep his job, but don't worry, no one in this hotel will dare to make up his mind anymore." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and smiled: "Li Dongzhu may not know that Li Beijia has received the emperor's holy grace and has been named the king of Xining, so who is still impatient to live and dare to attack the idea of Wangjiang Restaurant." ”

Li Qing was overjoyed in his heart, in this way, wouldn't he have another tough backer, and he must go to Chang'an when he has time to talk to Li Lin.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed, Li Qing's spirits were greatly lifted, tonight's highlight was about to start, just when everyone was surprised why the lights dimmed, a bright scenery appeared at the entrance of the building, this is five two-tiered carts made of flowers, the cart is lit with dozens of colorful small candles, in the dim background, the halos are intertwined, like a dream, it looks dazzling, and slowly moves forward in the full hall of astonishment.

Hundreds of delicate white porcelain cups were placed on each car, and more than a dozen beautiful orchids dressed in colorful silver clay skirts, like butterflies fluttering among flowers, distributed the cups to the hands of each guest.

The small cup is held on a small porcelain plate, next to a delicate small copper spoon, and a delicate and elegant bookmark, with two lines of Zhang Jiuling's famous sentence printed on the front: 'The sea rises and the moon rises, and the end of the world is at this time', and it is the selling point of tonight when it is turned over: colorful slush, for you to taste, there are various names of slush below, or autumn colors, or cold smoke and green, poetic and picturesque, making people feel a trace of elegance.

"Slush?" I have never heard of something, I opened the lid of the cup in a hurry, and there were all kinds of bright slush inside, or topaz delicate, or verdant as bamboo, or as bright as peach blossoms, exuding a faint sweet fragrance, which made people can't help but salivate, and I was already anxious to dig out a piece with a small copper spoon and put it in my mouth to taste, and a trace of surprise flashed in my eyes, and then I praised it, and I felt that it was delicious when my mouth was scorched and dry.

At the same time, the same thing happened on every floor, Li Qing's painstakingly designed slush advertising show finally had the desired effect, Wangjiang Restaurant boiled, rave reviews, praise, sighs, people inquired about each other, sought after each other, Xiao Li Ji slush finally went off fire on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the second year of Tianbao.
