This chapter is quite satisfying...... The boat angrily begged for a subscription......

~~~~~~

In a flash, three days have passed, and the time has come to the beginning of February. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past three days, Li Yuanqing has never left the house, never left the official hall, except for the hard irrigation of the house, his several 'fertile fields', it seems that he has nothing to do, and he is very idle.

It's just ~~, but some discerning people have noticed that in the past few days, the number of pro-soldiers entering and leaving the official hall has been much more than before, it seems that ~~~......

Evening.

There was a rare fine snow floating in the sky, which was sprinkled one after another, and soon the whole world was covered with a layer of faint white, which was very beautiful.

This is also the first snow on Changsheng Island since the Chinese New Year.

Northeast of Changsheng Island City, Crab Roe Lane, at the entrance of the old Qijia Fish Restaurant.

Qi Xiaorong, the shopkeeper and proprietress of the old Qi Family Fish Restaurant, was leaning against the vigorous brazier burning at the door, warmly beckoning the guests to enter.

Although it is snowing today and the weather is a little cold, the two ends of Crab Lane are full of people coming and going, and there is no sense of depression.

Crab Alley, as the name suggests, is named after the topography of the city, like the countless alleys in the city.

This crab alley turned out to be a depression, and there were two small streams of water flowing out from both sides of it, looking like a fat crab from a distance.

The people of Changsheng Island casually gave this place a name, called Crab Valley.

According to common sense, depressions like Crab Depression cannot be inhabited, because the terrain is too low and too humid, especially in the summer by the sea, if it rains heavily and there is a storm, the consequences are unimaginable.

But I can't bear it~~, the geographical location of this crab depression is really good.

It is located on the wide official road of the wharf, the northern section leading to the city, and is close to the city, less than half a mile away.

A few years ago, I don't know who had a very high degree of foresight, took the lead in buying a piece of land near the official road in the crab valley, filled in the soil by himself, built a few houses, and opened a mutton restaurant similar to the farmhouse in later generations, and for a while, the business was very prosperous.

Mainly on the wharf, there are many military camps and laborers, especially after the wealthy merchants of Zhenjiang descent moved to the northern section of Xieziwa, the gentry, the people, and the merchants who came and went were more and more.

The common people on the island, foreign merchants, especially those with craftsmanship, also saw the business opportunities here, and bought land, filled soil, and built shops in this area.

Li Yuanqing has always supported and encouraged commercial things, not only relaxed the requirements for merchants settled in Xieziwa, but also ordered the sappers to re-plan and build more reasonable and solid drainage and fire prevention facilities for Xieziwa.

This has also made the rapid development of the crab valley in the past few years.

At this time, there are already more than 100 restaurants, dozens of inns, and various shops, which are simply countless, and have become the most lively neighborhood on Changsheng Island.

It is bordered by the city to the west, the mansions of the wealthy merchants of Zhenjiang descent to the north, and the mansions of the wealthy merchants of Zhenjiang descent to the east, which stretches for several miles.

At this time, although the island was in a bit of an uproar for a while because the imperial court wanted to transfer Li Yuanqing away, most of the people, sons, and merchants still had strong confidence in the master of Changsheng Island, Li Yuanqing, who was majestic in the world.

Today~, even if it is snowing and the weather is extremely cold, the business contacts and friends on the island have not been interrupted, and they are still very lively.

This was still when Li Yuanqing led the main force of the army to go out.

If the main force of the Changsheng Camp stays on the island, many times, when you come to eat at several famous time-honored restaurants here, you can't line up and you have to book in advance.

The old Qijia Fish House is one of them.

From the beginning, there were no guests, the proprietress Qi Xiaorong needed to greet her outside in person, and in less than half an hour, more than a dozen tables had been seated in the huge hall, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.

Chinese people have a natural instinct to eat, that is, they like to get together.

If a restaurant is popular, it must be the most popular, and it is never more popular.

Qi Xiaorong is obviously deeply aware of the way.

She is about twenty-two or three years old, and she is very charming and beautiful, and she has an excellent figure.

Especially she is very good at dressing up, a little powder, fill in one point is more, minus one point is less, and she is wearing an ordinary embroidered shopkeeper work gown, but she was stunned to pass on the style of a Paris Fashion Week supermodel, which is indescribably attractive.

It is like a flower butterfly, shuttling back and forth among the guests, laughing affectionately with the guests at each table, and also making the atmosphere in the hall more and more lively.

It's just that, probably because of today's weather, only twenty-one or twelve of the more than 30 tables in the entire hall were seated, and no one entered the store again.

Not to mention, it's the private rooms in the courtyard and upstairs.

This also makes Qi Xiaorong's work much more leisurely than usual.

instructed a few capable juniors to serve the food in turn, and Qi Xiaorong came to the small courtyard behind the counter of the shopkeeper and behind the door, and said to an old man who was chopping wood and burning charcoal: "Godfather, there are a few people today." Especially when they are all businessmen, there is not a single military man. It's a little weird. Could it be that it's really as those people guessed, yes, it's Li Yuanqing back? ”

This old man, his appearance is not good, his hair is gray, there is a hideous scar on his face, the whole old face, thin is almost skinny, if you are not careful, it is like a ghost, I am afraid that it can scare children.

He is Qi Xiaorong's nominal father, Qi San.

Although this Qi San is ugly, he has a good hand, that is, making fish.

Whether it is sea fish or river fish, he has a set of ancestral and very exquisite cooking methods, and it is precisely because of this craft, coupled with the capable Qi Xiaorong, that their father and daughter have achieved the current scale of the old Qi family fish restaurant in a few years.

In fact, when making fish, the heat, techniques, and so on are all very different.

The most important thing is the core ingredient of the fish soup.

At such a time, unless there is an extremely important guest in the store, and he is named to let Qi San cook it himself, and other ordinary small banquets, Qi San is naturally too lazy to do it himself, just hand it over to a few of his apprentices.

Qi San frowned when he heard this, and his cloudy old eyes became more and more cloudy, but after a moment, he slowly shook his head, "Rong'er, this matter is indeed a little strange. However, you should not listen to the wind or the rain. Li Yuanqing is really a bit unfathomable. From today onwards, let's try to be more restrained. Well. Let's rest for ten days and eight days. The information on our side will not be sent out for the time being. ”

"But...... Godfather, if you don't send it out, if the master's side is investigated, we won't be able to explain. Especially at such a critical time......"

Qi Xiaorong's extremely good-looking eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

Qi San smiled faintly: "Rong'er, you don't have to worry about this matter. How majestic is the master? He'll understand what we're facing. For the master, we pass on information, in fact, it is only small, we can put our roots here, that is big. Do you understand? ”

Qi Xiaorong also understood what Qi San meant at this time, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: "No wonder this old thing is so trusted by the master." In terms of speculating on the master's mind, she Qi Xiaorong is indeed not an opponent. ”

"Godfather, Rong'er understands. You should do less work, too. This wood-chopping job, on such a day, hurts the most. ”

Qi San smiled: "Rong'er, when you get old, you can't be idle." Still, don't worry. Let's work here for another three or two years at most, and my old man will definitely help you fulfill your wish." ”

Qi Xiaorong was also slightly moved in her heart for a while.

Qi San, the old man, although he is terrible and stern, but in terms of dealing with people, he is indeed a believer, perhaps, he can really help himself avenge his father and brother......

"Godfather, your kindness to Rong'er, Rong'er remembers it in her heart."

Qi San smiled: "Rong'er, although you are not my biological child, you are better than my biological child." Relax, with a godfather, there will be no problems. ”

At this time, Xiao Er's shout came from outside, "Yo~, this master, what do you want?" ”

Qi Xiaorong hurriedly smiled: "Godfather, the guests are here." The daughter went out to greet the guests first. ”

Qi San smiled kindly: "Go ahead." Be careful. ”

"Hmm."

Qi Xiaorong walked quickly to the front hall, but found that an extremely tall man, with a full face and beard, and a luxurious fur jacket, accompanied by two tall entourages, looked at the dishes of the other diners in the hall with a smile, and Xiao Er was serving him diligently.

Although Qi Xiaorong is not very old, she has been doing this business for several years, and her eyes are already as hot as fiery eyes.

The man in front of him is definitely a really rich trench.

Just his pure black fur coat without a single stray hair is afraid that it will be worth thousands of taels of silver.

This is a big donor.

Qi Xiaorong didn't dare to slack off, and greeted her with a smile, "This master, what do you want to eat?" The best thing we do in our store is fish. However, the other dishes are also much better than those in other restaurants! ”

This tall man is naturally Li Yuanqing in disguise.

"Huh."

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly: "The boss lady's tone is not small." However, I can't eat too much by myself today, so I will pick the most famous and best three dishes in your store, and come up. Also, prepare some delicious meals for my two brothers. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing smiled, sat on a small table by the window next to him, and directly took out a pebble-sized golden bun and placed it on the table.

Qi Xiaorong's eyes couldn't help but light up, she really guessed correctly, she was really a big financier.

Busy Jiao smiled: "Xiao Er, pass the back kitchen, a steamed fish head, a plate of fried kidney flowers, and six boiled mountain eggs." In addition, there are two more stewed tarpon, three catties of cooked meat, and five catties of mutton with sauce! ”

"Good come! Wait, come right away! ”

Xiao Er ran to the back kitchen to pass the food.

Qi Xiaorong smiled like a butterfly, stood beside Li Yuanqing delicately, and said with a smile: "Master, this meal can't cost one or two or five dollars." You, you golden bun, are a little too much. The slave family didn't dare to accept it. ”

"Huh."

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly: "Boss, since I took out this gold, I am not ready to take it back." I just don't know, the proprietress doesn't want it. ”

"Uncle, you ......"

Qi Xiaorong's pretty face turned red, "Uncle, the slave family is a legitimate business here." If the uncle bullies the orphans and widows of the slave family, then ~, the slave family will be called a patrol guard. Uncle, you're a newcomer, don't you know yet? The guards of this Immortal Island are definitely not anywhere else. Someone dares to make trouble here, but there is no good fruit to eat! ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Boss, where do you want to go?" There is a gold cave not far from the door, so why bother to go far and find the boss's wife here? ”

“………”

Qi Xiaorong was speechless, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn redder, which was very tempting.

She really didn't expect that the man in front of her would dare to tease her like this and play tricks like this, when did she Qi Xiaorong suffer such a big loss?

For a moment, she seemed to be deliberately picking on something, leaning on Li Yuanqing's side and entering a little more, and said with a foolish smile: "Then~, I don't know what you want the slave family to do, uncle?" ”
