Chapter Forty-Eight: It Begins with Him
Li Zongyun relied on the relationship of the Nanjing garrison eunuch to open a shop of southern goods in the capital. Although the upper and lower dots are relatively successful, and the business is smooth, but every day is also worrying, because after all, he is just a common person, and the relationship in Nanjing City is beyond the reach of the whip, and if there is a slight disturbance, his family business may make wedding clothes for others.
Therefore, although he married Mrs. Ru, who had more than a dozen rooms, and his daily life was considered to be poor and luxurious, and he enjoyed it more than some officials, but he was always frightened in his heart, and he was always sad every day.
According to the convention, Li Zongyun will definitely walk to the shop on West Street for the first time every morning, Li Zongyun is almost fifty years old, and his body has been blessed a lot because of years of pampering, and he slowly walked to the door.
Standing on the steps, he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting a greeting:
"Li Yuanwai, I got up so early today, and I gave you a salute."
This greeting startled Li Zongyun, in the past, at this time he got up and went out, the neighbors around him were sleeping, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw five people on the left side of the door, a neatly dressed middle-aged Xiucai, a five-year-old brocade guard, and one person he knew, but it was the shopkeeper of Huifeng Building in Tianshuijing Street, and the two guys behind him were dressed up and carrying a large porcelain jar wrapped in a thick quilt.
That greeting was shouted by the shopkeeper Wang, but Li Zongyun remembered that his housekeeper had mentioned it when he was chatting with him ten days ago, and the old Tang Tou, the owner of Huifeng Building, wanted to sell the store, and he didn't pay attention to it, does this posture have anything to do with that matter today?
He didn't have to pay attention to the shopkeeper Wang, but although he was young, the five big and three thick Jinyi guards in the team made his heart tremble, no matter how rich and powerful he was, Jinyi Wei would never dare to provoke him, lest he avoid it, who would have thought that today he would find the door inside.
These people are Zhao Xiucai, Zhang Liang and Wang Shopkeeper, as well as two guys from Huifeng Building, not only Li Zongyun was stunned there, but they were also a little overwhelmed, after all, now this is the first place, it is the beginning of everything arranged by Jiang Feng, and they are a little stage frightened when they go into battle for the first time.
The two sides froze at the door like this, Zhang Liang was even more at a loss, he didn't know where to put his hand, and couldn't help but put it on the handle of the knife, which made Li Zongyun, who was standing on the top of the steps, look at Li Zongyun, who was already weak-hearted, and hurriedly smiled and asked:
"Shopkeeper Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I have advice so early."
His words ended the embarrassing silence between the two sides, but Zhao Xiucai over there reacted, and hurriedly turned around to say hello, the two guys carefully opened the lid of the porcelain jar, and used a small bowl of celadon to fill a bowl of soup, and then used chopsticks to take out a piece of food in the food box on the side and put it on top of the small plate, and put the small bowl and small plate on top of a red lacquered wooden plate.
Zhao Xiucai brought the plate to Li Zongyun with a smile on his face, and said:
"My restaurant opened in 15 days, and we have made a lot of delicacies, and today according to the instructions of our host, I will give you a taste of it."
Hearing this explanation, Li Zongyun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then his heart shone slightly, there are cooks in his own home, and there is nothing that he can't eat on weekdays, a restaurant of this grade in Huifeng Lou, in his eyes, it is a place where peddlers and pawns go, and he can't look down on it.
But the other party brought it in front of him with a smile, and there was a brocade guard over there who looked at him fiercely, sighed in his heart, picked up the spoon on the food plate, gently scooped it up and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it slowly. Zhang Liang was not fierce there, but nervous, he was very nervous when he was young and had not experienced anything, how would others feel when they ate these dishes of his master Jiang Feng.
The first spoonful of soup was swallowed, and the round old man was stunned for a moment, then picked up the small bowl with his hand, slowly drank it one bite at a time, and then put the bowl on the wooden plate, his mouth was tightly closed, his throat was squirming, his expression did not change, and he couldn't see what he was saying about this thing.
He didn't move the food in the small plate, and Zhao Xiucai's heart was also worried, but he still had a smile on his expression, and said:
"Li Yuanwai, here is the post, please be sure to enjoy it on the day it opens."
Li Zongyun still didn't say anything, there was no expression on his face, he just picked up the post, and then arched his hand at Zhao Xiucai and his party, nodded, and then walked towards West Street by himself.
Zhao Xiucai looked back at the shopkeeper Wang, and then looked at Zhang Liang who was stunned there, and he didn't know what Li Zongyun meant, Zhang Liang's personality was more impatient, and he was about to chase after him to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Zhao Xiucai on the side. Zhao Xiucai no longer had the smile on his face, and said:
"Don't waste time here, the owner has given us instructions to visit all the rich families and shops in the southern city within five days, let's go to the next one."
The shopkeeper over there is a person who has been sent to him for many years, and the accident is considered a shrewd person, but he was thoughtful, and replied to Zhao Xiucai with some hesitation:
"That Li Yuanwai just now didn't mean not to go......
Li Zongyun strode down the street, he didn't speak, the expression on his face seemed to be thinking about something, the long entourage behind didn't even have time to eat the piece of food in his hand, he followed behind half-walking and half-running, and walked to the West Street entrance, the morning sun had just risen, and the shops on the street began to remove their door panels and prepare for business.
Li Zongyun stopped suddenly, and the long suisage behind him almost hit him, and the long suisi wondered in his heart, could it be that his master had some magic disease today, and was just about to speak, when he heard the fat Li Zongyun in front of him let out a long breath, and said with a sigh there:
"How can there be such a delicious soup~~"
