Chapter 3 Fox Friends and Dog Friends
Li Yao never brings money when he goes shopping, he thinks that his face is a money bag, and he buys things for those merchants with a long face, is it necessary to pay?
Li Yao held a folding fan in his left hand and a birdcage in his right hand, swaggering in the middle of the road, and the guards behind him were more or less holding something, as for these things, they were naturally all 'contributed' by merchants!
The first gentleman of Qi country came, and quickly hid to the side to make way for the gentleman, otherwise he would be beaten again if he blocked the road.
"The first gentleman in the country of Qi?" I've never done anything so unconscionable as robbing a people's daughter, so it's a bit of an exaggeration! Li Yao's face was incredulous.
Hou Ye, see who is unhappy, we will help you teach him a lesson, and the guards behind him will come closely.
Li Yao said impatiently: "You just take a good look at my Zhenguo general, Lao Tzu is now driving the crickets and driving away all the people in front of me!" ”
"Yes, you two go and drive away the people on the road and clear a way for Hou Ye!" The man hurriedly ordered the guards behind.
Although Li Yao doesn't like to play with crickets very much, he has no choice but to like 'Li Yao'. Almost all boring things, 'Li Yao' likes to do, what to drink and guess boxing, horse racing, fighting crickets, walking birds, walking dogs, shaking dice, all of them can't know, all of them are fine.
Walking to the place where the crickets were fighting, Li Yao instructed the people behind him to bring his general Zhenguo over and fight with the famous cricket king of Qi State, but both sides were defeated. The angry Li Yao trampled the cricket jar to smash with one kick, and the two crickets naturally could not be spared, and they both died.
Turn around and leave the place where the crickets are fighting and head to the gambling house.
As soon as I entered the door, someone shouted, "Big brother, are you here?" Is the injury better? ”
Li Yao glanced at it and scolded: "Thin monkey, you kid still have a conscience to speak, Lao Tzu has fallen like this, and you ran away as soon as you stumbled." Li Yao used a nickname to call his fox friends and dogs, and Thin Monkey was Li Yao's name for this person.
"Big brother, you are wronged!" The thin monkey looked sad and cried, "I just sent you back to the house, and I immediately went to find Langzhong, but I was caught by my Lao Tzu on the way home, I said it anyway, my Lao Tzu asked me to come out for you to find Lang Zhong, but I didn't expect that I just found Lang Zhong, and the fat man found the Tai Doctor back." I heard the doctor say that you are fine, I went home, but I was grounded when I went home, you can ask the fat man if you don't believe it! ”
Li Yao thought about it for a while, it seems that there is indeed such a thing!
Never mind. Don't talk about this, Li Yao shook his head, you go and call those cowards out, go to Cuixianglou Lele, go to bad luck, I can't win by teasing a cricket just now, I trampled the general to death with one kick!
"Big brother, the general you bought it back for five thousand taels of silver, and you stepped on it like this!" The thin monkey looked distressed!
"If you step on it, you will step on it, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu won't play crickets in the future!" Li Yao said indifferently. "Hurry up and call someone! Lao Tzu will play two hands here first! ”
"Old man Wang, come over and reopen a table, let the eldest brother play, have fun!" The thin monkey shouted at the old man behind the counter, and the word "fun" was said to be particularly 'heavy'.
The old man came out from behind the counter, lifted the tablecloth on a table where no one was playing, and asked, "Master Hou, do you play dice or pai gow!" ”
The old rules, or dice!
A new table was opened, and it was immediately full of people, the old man Wang held the dice cup in his right hand, and shook it casually, and shook the three dice on the table into the dice cup, which attracted the gamblers to applaud, and the old man Li shook it a few times, and then touched it, and the old man Li put the dice cup on the table heavily, and shouted in a hoarse voice, buy and leave.
The gamblers bet one after another, and Li Yao took the one hundred taels of silver that the thin monkey had just paid homage to, and put it on the leopard that no one had put it. He said to Old Man Wang, "Let's go!" ”
Old man Wang's cloudy gaze swept around, and shouted a word, "Open"
When the cup was opened, the three dice were all a little bit, and everyone exclaimed, "Leopard! Everyone who lost the money beat their chests and sighed in annoyance, Li Yao laughed, and his guards gathered all the silver on the table in front of Li Yao.
"Haha", Li Yao said happily, "It seems that my luck is still very good!" He took a silver coin from the pile of silver and threw it in front of the old man Wang, "Reward you!" ”
"Thank you!" Old man Wang bowed his head slightly.
Hurry up and start the next round. Li Yao urged.
Old man Wang took the dice cup again and began to shake it, Li Yao bet one hundred taels each time, and ten bets and ten wins. After a while, the thin monkey came running, big brother, they are all here, let's go to Cuixiang Building.
The thin monkey looked at a large pile of silver bills in front of Li Yao's table, and cried again, "Big brother, don't you want to win my gambling house!" ”
Li Yao laughed and said: "Lao Tzu is measured, I didn't win your gambling money!" ”
When the thin monkey heard Li Yao say this, he immediately patted his chest: "I just said that it is impossible for the eldest brother to do this!" ”
The fat man stepped forward at this time, "Thin monkey, when did the eldest brother pit you, you should be content, if it weren't for the eldest brother to help you cover this place, your shabby place would have been crushed by the big gambling house in the south of the city!" ”
"I'm sure I know that! I can't forget the kindness of the eldest brother! The thin monkey smiled flatteringly.
"Okay, stop talking about it, I'm dying of hunger." Li Yao gave a kick by himself, "Hurry up and go to Cuixiang Building for dinner!" ”
led a group of gentlemen into the gate of Cuixiang Building, and the proprietress immediately greeted her, and said with a smile: "Ning Houye, what kind of wind blew you over!" ”
Li Yao waved his hand: "Hurry up and prepare a table of wine and food, and call a few singers over!" ”
The proprietress smiled and made a gesture of please: "Ning Houye, please go upstairs to the private room!" ”
It wasn't the first time Li Yao had come, and he knew the place, so he raised his legs and walked upstairs to the private room. A group of fox friends followed Li Yao into the private room.
The meal was ordered to go down early, and the proprietress turned around to call the singer over, and the singer here only sang and danced, not her body. Li Yao's group of fox friends and dog friends are all children of official eunuchs, and some of them are still famous and have become petty officials in the court. You can't go to a brothel, and it's even more impossible to find a little sister. These people are either rich or noble, and there are many maids in each mansion, and there is no need to go to the girls in the brothel. Besides, they all felt that the brothel was unclean, and there was no need to risk getting sick to play with the girl.
The speed of cooking in Cuixianglou is not fast, as soon as everyone sits down, the second child in the store will serve the dishes up, and a plate of delicacies from the mountains and seas will be served, and everyone will be unmoved. The house is no worse than this, they are all waiting for the singer to come up, I heard that Cuixianglou recently came to a strange woman who can sing and dance, everyone is waiting to see the beauty.
Because Li Yao has the identity of a marquis, the proprietress called the singer as quickly as possible, and the dancer was really a woman who came recently but became famous.
A group of singers came in slowly, and their graceful posture and beautiful dancing made these gentlemen very happy. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the woman leading the dance.
But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find it.
The thin monkey said to the proprietress, "What's the matter, what about the girl who leads the dance?" ”
Li Yao waved his hand, "Don't talk, the climax hasn't come yet!" The lead dancer should come out in a while! ”
The proprietress hurriedly flattered: "It's still the Hou Ye's good eyesight, and this dance music was also taught by that girl, which is really beautiful." ”
Li Yao smiled and said nothing, but he thought in his heart: "This should be the dance of the border people, it turns out that I have gone to the border military region to study, and I have also seen the dance of the enthusiastic people there, so I can see it." But now that there is constant friction between the Qi Kingdom and the Uighurs, it is not easy for the proprietress to take this risky move to increase her income! ”
With the rapid music, a veiled woman slowly came, and her bewitching figure and sexy dance made these gentlemen fascinated.
Li Yao looked at it, and through the veil, he could see that he was different from the Han people. Sure enough, it was the same as my own conjecture.
Li Yao said to these gentlemen: "I'll go to the toilet, you watch first." ”
Big brother, do you want me to accompany you? Although the fat man said this, his eyes were still fixed on the dancer, and he didn't want to get up at all.
Li Yao smiled slightly, "No, you guys take a good look, I'll go back when I go." ”
Li Yao made a gesture to the proprietress to come over, and the proprietress saw it and followed Li Yao out of the private room door.
Fat man, thin monkey, these gentlemen saw the boss lady and Li Yao go out, and they all showed lewd smiles,
"If it weren't for the eldest brother who took a fancy to this proprietress and didn't let him get along on the first day of the restaurant's opening. It's just that the proprietress is really beautiful! The fat man said.
"It's not that you don't know that the eldest brother likes the young woman type, you see that the personal maid Lian'er of the prime minister's daughter in his house looks so beautiful, and the eldest brother doesn't even look at it!" Skinny Monkey continued.
If it weren't for our help, this restaurant would have been collapsed by other restaurants, how could it have swallowed up other restaurants to become the largest restaurant in the northern district of the national capital.
Don't say so much, watch the dance well, Lao Tzu has never seen such a bewitching woman. The fat man's saliva is about to flow out.
Yes, the matter of the eldest brother will definitely be solved, and we will worry about it when it is our turn.
Out of the private room door, Li Yao said to the proprietress: "Boss, it's really not easy for you to open this Cuixiang Building alone!" ”
The proprietress didn't hear what Li Yao meant, so she replied truthfully: "The concubine died her husband three years ago, and she relied on her husband's previous money to open this restaurant, and thanks to the care of Master Hou, the small shop can persist." ”
Li Yao thought about it carefully, this restaurant, it seems that "himself" has indeed given a lot of convenience, so he said: "Do you want to develop and grow this restaurant!" ”
The proprietress heard this, her eyes lit up, of course she thought, is there any way for Master Hou?
Li Yao said: "The lead dancer here is a Uighur!" ”
The proprietress was startled, looked up at Li Yao, and whispered, "Master Hou, don't say it." ”
Li Yao looked at the panicked proprietress and smiled: "When did I do anything to hurt you?" ”
The proprietress calmed down a little after listening to Li Yao's words, "Master Hou, I can't help it, now the business of the restaurant is getting more and more difficult, and I also have to get the dancer from the Uighurs, hoping to make the business of the restaurant better." ”
Li Yao waved his hand, "I'm not here to blame you. Don't explain that much to me. Although the dancer who leads the dance is wearing a veil, if someone finds out, I'm afraid that your restaurant will decay faster. ”
Master Hou, I can't help it...... The hostess just wanted to explain.
Li Yao glared at the proprietress and the proprietress was too frightened by Li Yao's eyes to speak.
Then Li Yao said calmly: "I said it, I'm not here to blame you, on the contrary, I don't know what you thought about what I told you just now." ”
The proprietress looked at the corridor and led Li Yao to her room.
After Li Yao sat down, the proprietress said eagerly: "Of course I hope to make this restaurant more prosperous!" ”
Li Yao shook his head.
Seeing that Li Yao shook his head, the proprietress was also puzzled, just now it was clear that the Hou Ye was talking about making this restaurant grow and develop, why is he shaking his head now, is it playing tricks on me.
The proprietress also said coldly at this time: "Master Hou, I know that your power is very great, and your power can crush this restaurant at any time, although I am a woman's family, but you play tricks on me like this, I don't want to!" ”
Li Yao sneered, "I'm not interested in bullying you as a woman!" ”
The proprietress was even more puzzled and asked, "Master Hou just said that you can make the restaurant grow and develop, but just now you shook your head again, I don't know what it means." ”
Li Yao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and praised: "Good tea, it's Biluochun." ”
"Back to Master Hou, it's Biluochun." There was not a hint of anger in the hostess's voice.
Putting down the teacup, Li Yao said, "I shook my head just now because you misunderstood what I meant. ”
The proprietress said, "I don't know how I misunderstood what you meant!" ”
"I just said that let the restaurant grow and grow." Li Yao asked.
"Yes." The hostess nodded.
"But you just said it was this restaurant." Li Yao said lightly
"Does it make a difference?" The proprietress asked rhetorically.
"The difference is big, how much money can a restaurant make even if it grows? But with a few more restaurants, it's a whole difference. ”
The proprietress instantly lit up her eyes, and said in disbelief: "Master Hou......"
Li Yao nodded: "That's right, I just let this restaurant open all over the land of China!" ”
The proprietress muttered: "Open all over the land of China, open all over the land of China." ”
Don't get excited, I'm not done yet. Li Yao interrupted the boss lady's muttering.
"I don't know what else the Hou Ye commands?" The proprietress suppressed her excitement and said.
"I didn't help you for nothing." Li Yao said with a smile.
"Could it be that he covets my body?" The proprietress said in a cold tone, so she said: "Master Hou, my body belongs to my husband, I will not be a concubine for others, let alone play with others!" So please don't talk about it! ”
Li Yao was speechless for a moment, and flipped through his previous memories, it turned out that his previous 'self' had teased the proprietress a lot, so he would make the proprietress think of this matter at once.
Li Yao hurriedly explained: "Boss, where do you want to go." I'm a decent man, how could I do such a thing. ”
When the proprietress heard that this was not the case, she asked, "Then I don't know why the Hou Ye is willing to help me?" ”
Li Yao said: "Sixty percent of the assets in the restaurants opened by other countries belong to me, and forty percent belong to you, and this restaurant is still yours, what do you think!" ”
The proprietress thought for a while: "Of course there is no problem, but the funds of the restaurant are not very much, and I am afraid it will be difficult to open the next restaurant." ”
Li Yao smiled: "I'll figure out a way to deal with the silver, but the daily operation depends on you." ”
The proprietress was happy: "Don't spend your own money, you can get forty percent of the restaurant for daily operation alone, it seems that the first gentleman in Qi is really stupid!" ”
The proprietress hurriedly agreed, "Master Hou, you can rest assured, as long as you have silver, it will not be a problem to open a restaurant!" ”
Li Yao asked, "How much silver does it cost to open a restaurant of the same size in other countries?" ”
The proprietress calculated and said, "At least 10,000 taels of silver are needed!" Seeing that Li Yao was silent, the proprietress thought that Li Yao thought that she had embezzled the silver and hurriedly said: "The restaurant itself is not so expensive, but it has to give some points to the place, so 10,000 taels of silver must not be too much!" ”
After listening to what the proprietress said, Li Yao opened his mouth: "You first open a restaurant in the national capital of Yiguo, and I will send you 10,000 taels of silver tomorrow." As for this dancing girl, don't put it in this restaurant, put it in Yiguo's restaurant, Yiguo and the Uighurs have no war, and they are not exclusive to the Uighurs, so they can also quickly increase the popularity and popularity of the Yiguo restaurant. ”
Well, the proprietress nodded hurriedly.
Li Yao said again: "After you open the restaurant in Yiguo, I will see how you are doing, if the business is not good, I am afraid I will not fund you to open the next restaurant!" ”
The proprietress nodded: "I will definitely do my best!" ”
Li Yao nodded, then you go and arrange it, and walked out of the door after speaking!
