Chapter 8: The Care of My Father-in-law

After talking about Liu Ruyan, the financing of this restaurant is almost the same. In the end, Sun Helian, a poor ghost, spent a lot of money on weekdays and didn't save any money, so he scraped together fifty taels of silver. However, he was clever and persuaded his sister Sun Ping to also join the shares, but he didn't expect this little girl to make a move of fifty taels. What's even more surprising is that Liu Ruyan actually took out two hundred taels alone, you must know that the Sun family has been an official for generations and has a deep foundation, and the Liu family was lifted out of poverty and became rich from Liu Ruyan's father, Liu Chongshan, which is really incredible. It's just that Liu Ruyan refused to disclose the source of the silver in detail, only saying that it was borrowed by a friend, and Li Shan didn't want to ask too much. Anyway, the silver is there, so why don't you care about him! This little girl is quite outgoing, she knows that she loves her husband, she won't steal her father's coffin, Li Shan thought coquettishly. Looking at Liu Ruyan, the more I look at it, the more I love it, I really want to pull it over and kiss the two, but there are two big light bulbs next to it, so I can only endure it for the time being. Liu Ruyan and Li Shan have three chapters of the law, and the relationship between the two must not be revealed, unless Li Shanjinke inscribes it, otherwise the relationship between the two cannot be exposed, and it is still okay to touch and scratch in private, and when there are people, it is still the same as before. Originally, Li Shan still wanted to pull Shen Linfeng into the gang, but I heard that after a while of Qingming that day, he left Jingzhou, and it was said that he went to Shu to study. With these three hundred miles of silver, plus the one hundred taels of the pawn's own ancestral house, you can barely get a mid-range restaurant.

Li Shan was full of enthusiasm and took Sun Helian to the city of Jingzhou, looking for seasoning ingredients and cooking tools. The hard work paid off, and finally let Li Shan find what he dreamed of in the hands of a Hu merchant - cumin. The next thing I will show you, yes, yes, is the famous snack charcoal kebabs. Sun Helian looked at Li Shan holding a handful of withered grass in his hand and smiled lewdly, and said with a lewd smile: "Brother Li, can this thing also be eaten?" Li Shan smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Helian doesn't need to ask more, you will naturally be able to taste the delicious food when the time comes." ”

Li Shan said to that Hu Shang: "What's the use of your thing?" Doesn't it look like dead grass? The Hu Shang said with a bitter face and in Chinese: "This son, this is a spice, you ask, is there a special aroma?" I thought that the fennel spices shipped would sell for a good price, but I didn't think that the people here didn't know the goods and refused to buy them, and if Childe wanted me, I would sell them all to Childe at a loss. Li Shan picked up a handful casually, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it: "The taste of this spice is really unique, I like it a lot." First of all, tell me how many of these things you have and how much you plan to sell them. Hu Shang thought about it for a while, stretched out three fingers and retracted one halfway and said: "I only have a box of fennel in total, if the son wants, I will sell it to the son for two taels of silver." Li Shan waved his hand and said, "I bought them all." Give you five taels, don't look for it. The Hu Shang was pleasantly surprised when he heard it and said, "I don't know if the son will want it in the future?" Li Shan said: "How much you want, what I have is money, son." ”

Out of Hu Shang's faΓ§ade, Sun Helian asked puzzledly: "Brother Li, since Hu Shang has already bid two taels of silver, why do you increase the price for him again?" Li Shan said with a smile: "I buy his fennel like this, next time he will definitely ship more goods here, and other Hu merchants will follow suit, when the time comes, we will buy it at a low price, wouldn't it be more profitable?" Sun Helian looked at Li Shan****'s smile, and couldn't help but feel sad for that Hu Shang, you can imagine the scene of fennel on the streets of Jingzhou.

"Brother Helian, have you ever eaten chili?" Li Shan searched for a long time but didn't find the chili pepper, he really didn't know when the chili pepper was introduced to China, so he asked Sun Helian. looked at Sun Helian with a dazed look and quickly explained: "It's just something that has red and green, and it tastes particularly spicy." Sun Helian suddenly realized: "Brother Li is talking about pepper." "I don't think there's such a thing as chili, so I have to find another way.

The two came to the blacksmith shop again, and watched Li Shan take out a few drawings and give them to the blacksmith boss, Sun Helian asked, "Brother Li, what are you doing here?" What is this strange thing? Looking at Sun Helian's curious baby, Li Shanzheng didn't know what to say, so he simply ignored him and carefully explained to the blacksmith boss what he wanted to fight. Barbecue stands, iron skewers, pots for stir-frying, and an oven, these things are all things that were not available in the Tang Dynasty, and the blacksmith naturally doesn't know how to fight, so you must make it clear, don't get it wrong.

The location of the restaurant is a big problem, how to find a good and cheap shop? While thinking about this question, I came to the music place. Now Liu Ruyan has told Li Shan about the time to learn the piano, as long as Liu Ruyan comes to learn the piano, Li Shan will come to the music workshop, and the two of them kiss me and I am in love with adultery, and I am always reluctant to be separated for half a day.

It's just that today is a little different, Li Shan came to the backyard building, didn't see Liu Ruyan and Shangguan Wanqin, but Mingqin was waiting at the door, saw Li Shan coming, stepped forward and saluted: "Li Gongzi, my master is upstairs, please go up and talk." When Li Shan heard this, his hair almost exploded, Nima! The cheating was caught by the father-in-law, and such a tragic thing can also happen to Lao Tzu, who told the secret?

Li Shanwei stared at Mingqin fiercely and said, "Is it your little girl's secret?" I know that your little girl is not strict with her mouth, see how I clean you up. Mingqin hurriedly explained: "It's the master, the master asked the slave to question, and the slave didn't dare to lie!" ”

Alas, I didn't expect it to be debunked in just two days, this old man Liu is quite shrewd. Li Shan is a master with a big heart, the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, and now the matter can only be hard-headed, seeing that this little girl was so frightened that she was only trembling, and quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, teasing you." I don't blame you for this, since the old man knows, I can't say that I want to meet this father-in-law for a while. After finishing speaking, he tidied up his clothes and strode upstairs.

When I came upstairs, I saw Liu Chongshan sitting in the room slowly sipping tea, and when he saw Li Shan walking in, he didn't speak, just looked at Li Shan. Li Shan stepped forward and saluted, "Boy Li Shan, meet Lord Liu." Liu Chongshan kept staring at Li Shan with his eyes, and Li Shan was not afraid, standing there straight, his eyes were firm, and his demeanor was calm. After a while, Liu Chongshan snorted heavily: "You kid, you are so bold." Hook up with my daughter, and don't weigh your own capital. ”

The capital, the young master has enough capital. But naturally you can't say that, it's the future boss, and you still have to follow it: "Lord Liu, this is wrong." I am in love with Ruyan, and my feelings for Ruyan can be learned. As for the cost, the kid doesn't say fearless words, just one sentence, I gave the happiness of smoke. Liu Chongshan slapped the table and shouted angrily: "The little thing doesn't know how thick the sky is, and my daughter wants to get involved with the golden branches and jade leaves?" Believe it or not, in Jingzhou, I have 10,000 ways to make your life worse than death. I will now give you two choices, first, from this day onwards, you will not have any more dealings with my daughter, I can also give you some money or recommend you to go to the county to be a scribe and so on, and second, if you dare to touch a finger like smoke, I will let you die without a place to be buried. ”

Li Shan was also angry and angry, and said angrily: "Lord Liu, the kid respects you, not because you are the commander of Jingzhou City, but because you are Ruyan's father. I will never give up on Ruyan, if you overwhelm others, I admit that I can't fight with you, but I will never give in, as long as I still have a breath, I will not give up on Ruyan. After speaking, he stood proudly and was not afraid at all.

Liu Chongshan stared at Li Shan for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "Good boy, not bad." It's still Brother Zishou's unique vision! Li Shan was confused about this, what is the situation, playing with me? Liu Chongshan looked at Li Shan and said suspiciously: "What, I didn't expect it?" That **** and Brother Boyuan and Brother Zishou saw you kid in Yuelai Restaurant, and Brother Zishou said at that time, you kid must be a bold master. Only then did Li Shan understand that the Zishou brother in Liu Chongshan's mouth was Zhang Jiuling.

Seeing that Old Man Liu's attitude eased, Li Shan hurriedly smiled and said: "The bold boy doesn't dare to be a bold, but the kid is sincere to Ruyan, so he doesn't want to give up Ruyan at the risk of death." Old Man Liu stood up and patted Li Shan's shoulder and said, "You kid, you are a little similar to me back then." I think I was also a poor scholar back then, and I fell in love with Yan'er's mother. Yan'er's mother married the old man despite the opposition of the family. Later, I studied hard and gained fame, but Yan'er's mother gave birth due to an old illness and died when Yan'er was six years old. Yan'er is still haunted by this matter. ”

It turns out that this old man was also a merry boy when he was young, and it was not easy for a cloth cloth to soak a rich lady! Having said that, this smoke-like temperament is afraid that she also followed her mother, and I really want to thank my mother-in-law for her spirit in the sky. Don't worry, the kid Li Shan will definitely take care of Ruyan. Li Shan thought so.

I heard Old Man Liu say again: "Don't think that I am encouraging you to abduct my daughter to marry you, I tell you, dreaming." I can't let Yan'er repeat the mistakes of her mother, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to show your ability to marry my daughter in a dignified way, don't do these tricks of stealing chickens and dogs. ”

No wonder Ruyan insisted that I get famous, and it seems that I feel the same way. Li Shan hugged his fists while thinking about it and said: "Lord Liu, don't worry, the kid will definitely live up to Miss Liu's affection, and he will definitely marry her in the future." ”

Seeing Li Shan's assurance, Liu Chongshan no longer dwelled on the matter, turned his back to the window and said, "I heard that you want to open a restaurant?" "Damn, Mingqin, you little girl, I sold it too thoroughly! Li Shan was about to open his mouth to argue, but he heard Liu Chongshan continue: "This idea is good, but you must be cautious in handling it, the owner of the restaurant cannot be you, but it can't be an outsider, you must be a reliable person." Why, it's strange that I would agree to you opening a restaurant? Yan'er doesn't understand the benefits of this, how can I not know, do you think that I can live in this big Liufu with a city order who has been an official for more than ten years? You're a smart man, so I don't need to say much about it. In the same way, let me tell you, this business is not as simple as it seems, you have to weigh whether the water behind it is deep or shallow, and I won't protect you if something goes wrong when the time comes. ”

Liu Chongshan's words made Li Shan is mouth suddenly, yes, since ancient times, there have been many things about collusion between officials and businessmen, and it is difficult to guarantee that any businessman will collude with several officials later. It seems that my father-in-law is going to test me, this matter is done well, I and Ruyan he will not object, this matter is not done well, maybe he will really fall into the well and kill me! But as the saying goes, it's hard for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, so he has to help me at this time.

Liu Chongshan saw that Li Shan's demeanor remained unchanged, so he didn't say much, walked straight outside, and said to himself when he came to the door: "I heard that Jubanxian in the north of the city has not been doing well recently, and the boss doesn't know if it's true if he wants to sell the wine house." After speaking, he went downstairs, Li Shan was happy when he heard it, this old man is really still helping me.

Seeing the old man go downstairs, Li Shan began to think about how to take down this Jubanxian Restaurant. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ruyan standing behind him, and said softly with tears in his eyes: "The posture of Ruyan Pu Liu is so affectionate and generous, and Ruyan will live up to his son in this life." "I didn't expect Ruyan to eavesdrop in the back room, but fortunately this son held on, otherwise even if it was a roundabout plan, I was afraid that it would hurt Ruyan's heart, this old man is really a good means!

Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, walked over and hugged Ruyan and said: "You and I have a white head covenant, how can I not believe in my words." Here, baby, let me kiss it. Ruyan blushed and said, "Son, don't make trouble, let Sister Wanqin laugh." Li Shan found out that there was another person, but he didn't care, the old man acquiesced, who can stop me, but Ruyan, this chick is too shy, let's owe it first. Li Shan thought about it coquettishly, and said to Shangguan Wanqin: "Miss Wanqin is also here, she was too focused just now, I didn't see it, it's rude!" ”

Shangguan Wanqin came over with a slight smile and said, "Disturb Gongzi Yaxing, Wanqin has confessed." Congratulations to Sister Ruyan for finding Ruyi Langjun, I believe that she will be able to ask for a cup of wine soon. Ruyan listened to it and said coquettishly: "My sister also came to make fun of others, ignoring you." ”
