There is always an endless stream of people who come to the coal yard to buy coal, and even in this hot summer, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for cooking with coal from Jinxiang Province. At the gate of the coal yard of Jinxiang Mansion, there are often carriages of noble eunuchs, ox carts of hotels, and donkeys hired by the people to stop at the gate of the coal yard.

But today in front of the Jinxiang Mansion is a rare leisure, Bianjing City began to rain in the morning, and the rain still did not stop at noon. He Libo ordered people to prepare wine and food, and entertained the guys who had been working hard for days.

These people set up the table, set up the wine and food, and beckoned to He Libo, "Brother He, don't drink some together." ”。

He Libo said while putting on his robe: "I see that this rain is going to fall into the evening, you drink slowly, and I will go back to the house to find my son." With that, he rode out of the coal yard.

The Jinxiangfu coal yard is in the northwest corner of Bianjing, and the Meyer Mansion is in the southeast of Bianjing. Passing by the soon-to-be-opened Yunxuan next to Wang, the outside of Yunxuan was still covered with a cloth. He Libo got off his horse and went in to take a look, and the people working inside said that the Lu steward did not come today. "Where's this kid?" He thought about continuing south.

Not far ahead is the splendid building, Cui Fu shopkeeper saw He Libo riding a horse over, so he stood in the door and greeted him. He Libo looked inside, and Cui Fu walked to the pedestal outside the restaurant with an umbrella: "Is He Gongzi going back to Meyer's Mansion?" ”

He Libo pointed to it and asked with a smile: "It's still your business, it's full on rainy days." ”

Cui Fu was so happy when he heard it, he puffed up his chest and said proudly: "That's natural, our son is in this wedding banquet, even the emperor has given the signboard of this splendid building, who doesn't want to come to touch the emperor's prestige and be happy." He said it loudly, as if he could hear it even in the store.

Then he walked up to He Libo and whispered: "This business is not good, now they are all following the example of our son to set up a table in the restaurant, our menu is a must in the capital, everyone is tired of eating the old stewed dishes, and now they have a soft spot for this stir-fried explosion." Our seats are booked until August 15. ”

He Libo exclaimed: "The dozen or so dishes of the son are really good"

Cui Fu pursed his lips, more than a dozen ways, he was closer to He Libo, and whispered: "You don't know, Gongzi calls everyone on the stir-fry stove chef, that is, the big chef father, these people are happy, and whoever invents a new dish, if it sells well, there will be a reward." Look over there. ”

He kept pointing to the wall where the food cards were hung, and when He Li looked at it, there were dozens of food cards hanging on it, and almost all of the walls were full. I heard Cui Fu say again: "Every chef here has a special skill, let me tell you, there are too many, He Gongzi, you order a dish every day, and you will eat it for a season without repeating it." Can our business not be hot? What's more, there is also a splendid country, which is a signature dish given by the emperor himself, and everyone must order it. ”

He Libo stood at the door of the hotel and looked inside. There are few pedestrians in the rain outside the hotel, but the splendid building is full of friends. It can be seen that Cui Fu is telling the truth, and he can't help but admire the ingenuity of the king's thoughts. He looked inside and remembered that he was looking for Childe, so he asked Childe if he was in the restaurant.

Cui Fu is looking forward to the king being inside, this son is still really at ease with himself, all the things on the counter are left to himself, seeing that this business is so hot, if the son is here, he will definitely be happy. Thinking so in his heart, he said with a simple smile on his face: "Even if the prince is here, I'm afraid he won't have his seat, and it's okay if he doesn't come, otherwise the little one won't know how to arrange it." ”

He Libo laughed: "Let's really have the sun rising in the east and the rain in the west." In short, Childe will make money, and the coal in your back kitchen will be prepared for you, and someone will send it when the rain stops. ”

Cui Fu was about to ask about the delivery of coal, but fortunately, in advance, Wang asked Jinxiulou to have at least three or five days of spare coal, so he was not in a hurry to deliver it on a rainy day, so he said: "That's great, you can send it as soon as the rain stops, don't delay our hot business." He remembered something again: "He Gongzi, do you know that Wang Gongzi has put down the teahouse, and this has been covered with any novelty?" Every day this guest asks me, and I can only answer that I really don't know. ”

He Libo shook his head: "This boy usually does things according to his own ideas, and we don't know what he thinks in his heart." “

Shopkeeper Cui smiled and said, "Yes, our son has a rule, don't let me talk nonsense?" It is also said that it is the secret of what is the merchant duck chicken. ”

He Libo laughed: "Shopkeeper Cui is deaf, you can't do without duck and chicken in this restaurant, and the son said that it is called a trade secret." ”

Cui Guan said with a smile: "Yes, look at my old fool, trade secrets, trade secrets" He deliberately repeated, and he also laughed at himself in his heart.

He Libo and Cui Fu were talking here, and seeing that there were still guests who came into the store to eat and greeted Cui Fu's shopkeeper, Cui Fu responded with an apologetic face: "Look at this rainy day, there are still waiting for seats to eat."

He Libo got on the horse and said: "You have to eat on a rainy day, haha, since Gongzi is not here, Shopkeeper Cui is busy with you, I will go back to Meyer Mansion first." "Farewell Cui Fu hit the horse and returned home.

There are few visitors on rainy days, and Meyer's Mansion is not as usual today, He Libo came to the garden, and saw Wang and Lu Shenyan and his wife in the pavilion in the lotus pond, four people enjoy the lotus and watch the rain, drink and chat, so comfortable.

Lu Shenyan was the first to see He Libo coming back, so he beckoned to He Libo: "It's rare to have a rainy day today, and it's just right to come back." ”

Wang next to today is really rare leisure, this rainy day air is refreshing, the lotus in the pond is budding, sitting on the pavilion in the lotus pond, occasionally you can hear Cai Jing next door, Tong Xiao's reading sound.

He Libo removed the coat and hat, walked to the stone bench by the stone table and sat down, and the rouge tiger beckoned the mother-in-law waiting under the corridor to add a pair of dishes, chopsticks and wine cups. The three of them couldn't sit alone and eat together for a few days, He Libo smiled and told the conversation with Cui Fu in front of the Splendid Building.

Under the moon listened to He Libo's narration, and looked at his husband with admiration, the king shook his fan and laughed after listening, everything was expected.

Rouge Tiger added wine to their wine cups, and then said, "I tell you a funny thing, which is also related to this splendid building. ”

"The scholar in our house is the newcomer Cai Jing, and the new dishes on the splendid upstairs, he can tell the truth. When you encounter something delicious, you can eat something that makes your stomach bulge. Once, he had a stomach that swelled for two days, and every day we looked at his stomach and knew whether the chef was doing well today. ”

Everyone present laughed when they heard this, and Lu Shenyan said: "No wonder when I was in Jianzhou, I heard that this kid was a foodie, but now I have seen it." The people were laughing, but the king was not smiling, as if he was not listening to what they were saying, but was wandering.

Recently, for a long time, Wang Fang has been busy with business matters and his own marriage, and for He Libo and Lu Shenyan, who have been following him, it is rare for him to sit together and drink and chat like today. Thinking of this, he picked up his wine glass and said to He Libo Lu Shenyan: "The little brother has not been able to be idle, and now the business is getting bigger and bigger, thanks to the help of the two, it is rare to have leisure today, the three of us can sit together, I toast two glasses." ”

Lu Shenyan raised his wine glass, and He Libo was looking at the lotus leaf in a daze. Lu Shenyan raised his voice and said, "Big man, the son toasts you." Only then did He Libo come back to his senses, picked up the wine glass, and the three of them drank it all.

Rouge Tiger patted Lu Shen and said: "It's so unruly, if Brother He marries in the future, you will always call him a big man, how bad it is." ”

Lu Shenyan said with a hippie smile: "The lady taught me a lesson, but this big brother He doesn't say that he is happy, when will he be able to marry a relative." ”

He Libo's face turned red, and he seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't see the rouge tiger in this twist, and said anxiously: "Didn't the eldest brother discuss with Xiao Lu for the past two days, how to let Miss Li enter the mansion?" ”

Lu Shenyan saw that his mother's mouth was fast, and he smiled: "Big brother, don't blame, my lady asked me what you have been muttering to me for the past two days." I'll just get it straight. ”

After speaking, several people looked at Wang Bian together, and Wang Bian certainly understood that what they were talking about was Li Enxi, as for how He Libo found Miss Li, it was inconvenient to ask. said with a smile: "This Miss Li's mental arithmetic is extremely fast, and it is best to come and help Yuexia take care of the accounts." ”

He Libo was a little worried that this excuse was not good, and said: "This, this is not very good, after all, it is the girl's family." ”

Rouge Tiger snickered, and Lu Shenyan asked, "What is the lady laughing at?" Yuexia also seemed to understand, and whispered in the ear next to the king: "Brother He is so pedantic, can the son understand?" ”

What a smart person next to the king, after listening to He Libo tell the general story, and then from the moon, he understood that Miss Li Enxi was waiting for He Libo to speak. But He Libo didn't understand, so where could Miss Li live in the house. No one can do this except himself, so he said: "Congratulations to Brother He"

He Libo was a little confused, and Wang said beside him: "I will decide this matter, Manager Lu, Sister-in-law Lu, please vacate a side courtyard for Brother He in Meyer Mansion as soon as possible." In addition, I went to find my sister-in-law to propose to the girl. As for the bride price, the younger brother will handle it. ”

When He Libo heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and the king looked at him as a person who was usually quite impulsive and clever, and at this time he smirked silly, and sighed in his heart: If He Libo settles down here, it may not be a bad thing.

Xiao Lu pursed his teeth and said: "This splendid building listened to Brother He just now, and it seems that there is no table for the banquet anymore. ”

He Libo hurriedly waved his hand: "Miss Li and I don't have so many relatives and friends here, so we don't need to hold a banquet like that, I think I can decide on this matter, just a few of our brothers, let's set up a table in the house." ”

Hearing him say this, the king did not object, so it was fine. I heard Lu Shenyan ask again: "Childe, this Yunxuan will open in a few days." Childe is not open to the public, what is the plan. ”

Wang Bei smiled slightly: "You can just do what I say, and when Yun Xuan is ready, Brother He's marriage is over, it is the time for the autumn imperial examination." After the autumn I set out for Nassixia. When the time comes, I'll leave it to the two of you. ”

Seeing him say this, He Libo and Lu Shenyan didn't ask much, but Wang said that he couldn't participate in the scientific examination? Of course, Wang Bian did not want to participate in the scientific expedition. The coal yard, the tea farm and the splendid building are making money, but this Yunxuan is a business, not to mention that Wang Fang wants to use this scientific expedition to make his "Yunxuan" famous.

It's rare to be idle for half a day, watching the rain by the lotus pond, and the brothers talk about the splendor, strategizing in their hearts
