This young man is the second son of Heilan, called Hai Zhongheng, last year the township test was lifted, in Chengdu's literati circle is quite famous, not this fame is still because of his swollen pocket, although he reads, but not pedantic, can not only go to the lobby, but also can mix in the market, he pays attention to vigorous and resolute work, but can use the wrist, soft and hard, so no one of the deacons of the Hai family is not cleaned up by him.

Heilan has two sons, the eldest son died early, and only the second son Hai Zhongheng is left under his knees, shrewd and capable, acting ruthlessly, for the person who does great things, he is deeply valued by Hailan, and he has long been designated as his successor, and now he is temporarily in charge of the business of the restaurant, but this time I brought him here to introduce him to Li Lin and make a way.

Hai Zhongheng saw Li Lin praising himself, and hurriedly got up and bowed and said: "Uncle Shi's reputation, my nephew is ashamed, if I have half of Li Zhao's mind and talent, I will also follow Uncle Shi's advice, go to make a name for myself, and serve the country, but my nephew knows that his knowledge is shallow, so he can only follow his father to be a small businessman and earn a little money to support his family." ”

Li Zhao is Li Lin's eldest son, a Jinshi in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, and is currently a bachelor of Hongwenguan.

Li Lin smiled dumbly: "Earn a little money to support your family? The nephew is really exaggerated, I think that being honored and not reserved, and being humiliated and not discouraged is the true character of the husband, what does the nephew think? ”

"My nephew has been taught! Uncle Shi's words, I should remember from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Not bad!" Li Lin stroked his beard and nodded and smiled at Hailan: "Many literati and writers have told me that the nephew and nephew make friends with righteousness, and they have the reputation of Xiao Meng in the circle, and it is the blessing of the owner of the sea to have a son!" ”

"Where! Where! It is his blessing to have the teaching of the other driver, and his biggest deficiency is the lack of experience, so if he can get the Wangjiang Restaurant this time, I am ready to let him go to be a shopkeeper for a few years, and never disappoint the expectations of the other driver. ”

Heilan's words were extremely powerful, and he immediately caught Li Lin, don't you want to teach my son a lesson? Okay, I'll put him in Wangjiang Restaurant to exercise, and see what you say.

Sure enough, Li Lin was squeezed by his words, he was silent for a long time, the living room was silent, the atmosphere was very solemn, suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind the screen, the screen was thin, revealing a light figure, Hai Zhongheng's eyes immediately became hot, who is the owner of this figure, of course he knows, the first beauty in Chengdu and even Chang'an, Li Jingyan, the county lord of Pingyang, has countless suitors, but she is not pretentious to any man, so she is also known as the ice beauty.

Li Lin smiled apologetically: "The little girl has something, I'll come when I go." ”

．．．．．．

Let's say that Li Qing only waited for a moment at the gate, and then an attendant hurriedly came, and saw that Li Qing was the only one on the steps of the gate, looked him up and down and asked, "Are you Li Qing?" ”

"Exactly!"

"The master called you, you come with me."

The attendant took him to a side hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Lin pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hand, looking up and coming in, and he didn't greet him, and asked at the head: "How much money do you have in your hand now?" ”

Li Qing was stunned and replied casually: "I have 1,800 guan now." ”

"Eighteen hundred!" Li Lin frowned and thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I promised you before, I will help you when you come to Chengdu, and now I have a restaurant that I want to sell, it is next to the Xima Bridge, the market is excellent, Li Gongzi is interested in taking a plate?" ”

Li Qing was taken aback: "Is it Wangjiang Restaurant?" ”

"Yes! Do you want to either? A hint of surprise flashed in Li Lin's eyes.

Li Qing secretly smiled bitterly, yes! Of course he wants to, but can he afford it? There is also the Hai family in the middle, how can he not consider it.

"I'm afraid I can't afford it!"

Li Lin smiled and said: "I naturally have already calculated for you before I ask you, the price of the wine market is at least 10,000, but I don't sell it to you, I only sell you sixty percent, that is, 6,000 yuan, and then give you a discount, 3,000 yuan, you pay 1,000 yuan first, and the other 2,000 yuan will be paid within a year, do you think this is good?" ”

He was worried about how to refuse the Hai family, Li Qing's arrival suddenly made Li Lin find an excuse, of course, he would not do a loss-making business, he had his own ideas.

Li Qing's heart suddenly came alive, and he secretly thought: "It's not bad if you only buy sixty percent of his shares, the restaurant can play his brand, with him as a backer, and the Langhai family doesn't dare to go too far, although there is a risk, you can win most of it with a thousand yuan, where can you find such a good thing?" ”

He also knows that there are risks in everything, the key is whether the risk is more than he can bear, Li Qing quickly assessed the pros and cons in his heart, let him take the plate alone, the risk is too great, he can't fight the Hai family, if only the part is another matter, with Li Lin's shield, the Hai family's shot will also be a little jealous, when there is really something, you can also find Xian Yu Zhongtong to help, after a few months of business, Li Qing has gradually gained some confidence, and he is no longer as shrunken as he did at the beginning.

"How? Manly man, speak coolly, okay or not! ”

Li Qing's heart was hot, he sought wealth and danger, and he didn't care about his mother.

"Good! I do! ”

Li Lin was overjoyed when he agreed, and immediately said: "Although I sold it to you at a discount, there are two conditions. ”

"Conditions?" Li Qing was slightly stunned.

"First, the shopkeeper of the restaurant does not allow you to change him; Second, in exchange, you will give me the recipe for the slush. ”

This second condition is what Li Lin really wants, this time when he returns to Chang'an, if he dedicates the slush to the emperor, the Longyan Dayue in exchange for it is by no means three thousand yuan that can be bought, he has also tried to prepare it after returning from Langzhong, but it can't match Li Qing's delicate and refreshing taste, and he can only get the formula from Li Qing's hands.

Li Lin saw that Li Qing was pondering, thinking that he was reluctant, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, I only enjoy this slush for private use, at most I will send it to the palace, and I will never buy it on the market, if you are really not at ease, I will use these four components as collateral, what do you think?" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Qing smiled slyly and said: "The formula is for you, but if the emperor asks who invented it, you have to say that it is Jiannan Li Qing." ”

The slush formula is not difficult, sooner or later it will be learned, so it will be popular all over the country, the Tang Dynasty has no intellectual property rights, but if it is praised by the emperor Chrysostom, this is the best intangible asset of Li Ji slush, and even his name Li Qing has an impression in the emperor's mind.

Li Lin laughed: "That's it!" He pulled Li Qing, "Go!" I'll take you to meet two people. ”

Without waiting for Li Qing to think about it, he pulled Li Qing into the main hall, and introduced to the Hai family father and son with a smile: "This is my nephew, surnamed Li Mingqing, and the word Yangming." ”

He pointed to the father and son of the Hai family and said to Li Qing: "This elder is the head of my famous Hai family in Chengdu, the proprietor of Haida, next to him is the future head of the Hai family, and also my famous talent in Chengdu, Haizhong Heng Gongzi, you will do business in Chengdu in the future, and you have to ask the Hai family for more advice." ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded, it was regarded as a greeting, but he had already looked at the two heavyweights of the two Hai families carefully, the closest to Li Qing was Hai Zhongheng, he was the same age as himself, but he looked handsome and had a good temperament, but he obviously had bags under his eyes, which must have been caused by excessive wine.

He took a step forward and arched his hand to Haizhongheng and said: "I have heard the name of Brother Hai for a long time, and when I see it today, Li Qing is fortunate to have three lives." ”

Hai Zhongheng hesitated, and also bowed, and said softly: "Where!" Brother Li is a talent, which makes Zhongheng envious. ”

The words were gentle, but his eyes shot towards Li Qingling like a knife, and the Pingyang County Lord called Li Lin out, and then this person came in, what is his relationship with the Pingyang County Lord?

As soon as the two looked at each other, Li Qing immediately sensed a trace of hostility hidden behind his hypocrisy, if the Hai family wanted to deal with him, Master Hai would not come forward, it was very likely that it was this Hai Zhongheng, at the moment of shaking hands, Li Qing had a preliminary judgment on Hai Zhongheng in his heart,

This person shook hands strongly, and should be able to break big things, Li Lin said that he was a scholar, and his strategy should not be bad, but judging from his sharp eyes just now and not hiding his hostility, he was a little impetuous, not the kind that was hidden deeply, this may be his weakness.

After a few words of greeting with Haizhongheng, Li Qing's eyes turned to Master Hai again, only to see that he was thin and small, his appearance was not good, and he looked a little similar to Kong Fangdao, which made Li Qing a little surprised, in his imagination, Master Hai should be a domineering man in appearance, but he was a shriveled old man, although this old man's dog was very fierce, but he didn't want to be rude, Li Qing hurriedly bowed and bowed and said: "The junior will learn from Li Qing to greet the seniors of the sea." ”

Heilan smiled slightly, he carefully looked at the young man in front of him, his forehead was full, the edges were clear, the bridge of his nose was high and straight, his eyes were deep, but he was slightly shrewd, he was tall, his shoulders were broad and thick, and his gestures were full of confidence and vitality.

"It's not a simple young man." Heilan immediately made up his mind about him.

He asked unhurriedly: "I heard what Lord Don't Drive said just now, Brother Li also came to Chengdu to do business, I don't know what kind of business he makes?" It seems to be asking casually, but it is playing Li Qing's old bottom, what is the relationship between this person and Li Lin?

Without waiting for Li Qing to answer, Li Lin interjected, and he said apologetically to Hailan: "I have not been able to answer the matter of the Hai Owner's Wangjiang Restaurant, it is really because I only account for forty percent of the restaurant, and the other sixty percent is from my nephew's family, I thought he also wanted to sell it, so he listed it, but now the situation has changed, and the nephew specially came to tell me that the restaurant is not for sale!" Sorry to disappoint you, Lord of the Sea. ”
