Chapter 52 Shopping in the Snack Street
Satisfied with Li Yulong, who had not gone home for a long time, went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, although the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was also a colorful appearance at this time, but it was a lot more deserted, Li Tao sat in the middle of the lobby, drinking the turbid tea soup, and Xiangxin has always wondered why the tea soup of the Tang Dynasty was like this, greasy and turbid, although there was a heart to bring the legendary roasted tea process to the Tang Dynasty, but now is not the time.
Li Siwen was far away in Runzhou and couldn't return to Beijing, Li Yulong also married someone else, and the cold and deserted appearance of the family made Li Tao uncomfortable, although Li Siwen and Li Yulong would not feel happy at home for so many years, but at this time, the family was so deserted that Li Tao also felt a little sad.
At this time, Li Yulong brought Li Yulong to the door, which also made Li Tao's face show a little smile, Li Yulong was also a little distressed when he saw his father's appearance, and hurriedly ran over and said: "Father, why are you sitting in the lobby alone, and you haven't seen anyone!" ”
Li Tao patted Li Yulong's hand and said with relief: "The people are busy working in the backyard, and it's nothing to do for my father alone, read a book in this lobby!" ”
Satisfaction has already come over, bowing obediently and saying, "Satisfaction to meet your father-in-law!" ”
Li Tao looked at Xiangxin with some satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Xianxu sit down, what are you two going to do when you go back to the house this New Year!" ”
Li Yulong saw that his father's mood was a little unstable, and hurriedly said: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year's Eve today, I am afraid that you are bored at home alone, thinking that the distance is not far, it is better to invite you to our house and have a reunion dinner together, what do you think?" ”
Li Tao naturally didn't expect that Chengxin and Li Yulong would invite him to dinner, and he was a little surprised and a little helpless: "My father is going to the palace tonight, and the emperor will naturally invite hundreds of officials to be my father, have you forgotten?" ”
Li Yulong shook his head obediently, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but it's not night, let's have lunch together, big brother can't come back, what's the point of you being at home alone, come home with us, everything is ready at home!" ”
Xiangxin also said on the side: "Father-in-law, let's have a meal together, today is different from the past, Long'er's elders are only you, let her have a reunion dinner together today!" ”
Li Tao no longer thought about the reason, looked at Li Yulong and Chengxin with a serious face, and nodded his head, and told himself in his heart, "I just had a reunion dinner with my daughter today, why do you want to do so much!" ”
Li Yulong looked at Li Tao and nodded, and immediately pulled him up, "Let's go, what are you doing at home, how boring, come home with me!" ”
Looking at Li Tao who was being pulled by Li Yulong, he couldn't help but smile, and he hoped that everyone around him could live every day happily and happily, and not be disturbed by those bad people and bad things.
Out of Shangshu Mansion, the commander of the guards waiting at the door also said on the side: "Lord Shangshu, what is the matter when you go out, do you want me to transfer a team of people!" ”
Before Li Tao could speak, Li Yulong said: "I'll take my father back for a meal, and after dinner, you can go to my house to pick up your father into the palace!" ”
Xie Ziwen and Ziyun had been waiting on the side, and when they saw the three of them coming out, they also said, "Let's get in the carriage!" ”
Chengxin slowly came out of Shangshu Mansion, looked at Li Yulong and said, "Wait for me?" Let's go, get in the car! ”
Li Yulong shook his head and said: "I don't want to go back by carriage, I want to go shopping with my father, my father hasn't bought me sugar gourds for a long time, right, Dad, let's go to the market!" ”
There was some surprise in his eyes, although Li Yulong was not very old to do such a thing, it was not surprising that Li Yulong could obediently follow Li Yulong.
Xie Ziwen, who was next to the carriage, looked at Xiangxin, expressed his doubts, spread his hands to express that he didn't know, and then silently followed Li Tao and Li Yulong.
Xie Ziwen obediently led the carriage behind him, Ziyun was also walking beside Xiangxin, and Li Tao's father and daughter walked in front, passing through the streets, and finally came to the well-built snack street of Xiangxin.
Li Yulong couldn't help but clap his hands when he looked at the dazzling array of food: "Did your father bring enough money?" I'm going to buy some in a minute! ”
Li Tao also remembered the scene when Li Yulong rode on his neck when he was a child and shouted to let him buy sugar gourds, and couldn't help but have a trace of tears in his eyes, but this tear quickly disappeared, and when he heard Li Yulong's words, he couldn't help but pat her head and said: "This street is all your father spent money to help you tidy up, do you still let your father spend money to buy your own things?" ”
Li Yulong rubbed his head, and whispered: "Yes, how did I forget this stubble, this street is my father's industry, and we only have thirty percent of the shares!" ”
Li Tao smiled and took one from the sugar gourd skewer on the side and handed it to Li Yulong, "Don't you want this, here you go!" ”
The people selling sugar gourds on the side didn't dare to squeak, after all, Li Yulong's face was still very familiar, and it should be true to hear these people say that it was the owner, but the owner would give money when he bought things before, why didn't he give it this time.
Li Yulong and Li Tao slowly left the street where the sugar gourd was sold, and the people selling the sugar gourds were still stretching out their hands and hesitating to stop them, but Ziyun appeared at the right time and took out a little loose silver and handed it to the little brother who sold the gourds and said, "That was the owner just now, I didn't buy anything by myself, I smiled!" ”
The little brother who sells sugar gourds is very familiar with Ziyun, this Ziyun maid has to come to this snack street every day to buy some things, and it is also the owner, who doesn't know Ziyun girl in this snack street, at this time I heard this and also received money, and the sugar gourd brother was also busy laughing: "Don't get in the way, what is the owner taking our string of sugar gourds, and the little one will know each other in the future!" ”
Li Yulong's father and daughter were walking in front, not knowing what was happening behind them, Li Yulong bit the sugar gourd and walked to the fried chicken restaurant and said to the clerk: "I want two catties of chicken legs and one catty of chicken wings!" ”
Li Tao couldn't help but say when he smelled this tempting smell: "What is this, it smells so good!" ”
Li Yulong looked at Li Tao with a little disdain and said, "Don't you know this?" Haven't you ever eaten our home-cooked food? ”
The little brother of fried chicken smiled and took over with a little pride, "Lord Shangshu should be busy with official business and don't have time to pay attention to these eating things!" ”
When Li Tao heard this, he also looked at the clerk, and said with some surprise: "Isn't this Xiao Wang?" A group of family members were assigned to take care of things here, why did you still get started with this work yourself? ”
Li Yulong also recognized it as his original family, Xiao Wang, and said with some surprise: "It turns out that the fried chicken I have been eating is made by you!" ”
Xiao Wang was a little embarrassed, but he immediately said: "Before, Brother Satisfied asked us to be responsible for arranging manpower, managing order and other things, but this fried chicken is so fragrant that the monthly money is not enough for me to eat myself, and then I discussed with Brother Satisfied that I can sell this fried chicken by myself, and I can make more money!" ”
Li Tao looked at Xiao Wang, who was very satisfied, and didn't ask any more, but Li Yulong interjected on the side: "A group of people went to Runcheng to join my brother before, do you have any news about how they are doing in Runzhou!" ”
Xiao Wang nodded and said: "Runzhou has always exchanged news with us, and they have already gained a firm foothold with the help of the young master, and they are ready to take their wives and children to live in Runzhou after the New Year!" ”
Li Yulong also looked at Li Tao with some pride and said: "See, my father-in-law is amazing, just take out some gadgets and let so many people live a good life!" ”
Li Tao also looked at the satisfaction not far behind him with some pride, smiled and hung Li Yulong's nose and said, "Yes, my daughter is looking for a good aunt!" ”
The fried chicken didn't make them wait too long, Li Yulong handed the remaining sugar gourd to Li Tao, and took the big bag of fried chicken, Li Tao did not dislike Li Yulong, silently ate the last sugar gourd and threw the skewer into the trash can everywhere.
Not long after Li Yulong and Li Tao left, Ziyun appeared to check out again, although Xiao Wang repeatedly pushed back, but he couldn't resist Ziyun's majesty, and happily accepted the money and sent Li Tao and his daughter away.
Li Tao swallowed the sugar gourd in his mouth, Li Yulong handed over a chicken leg, Li Tao looked at Li Yulong, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, and took a big bite.
The smell of incense spread throughout the mouth, although there was a bit of a hot feeling, but Li Tao, who had been killed, naturally would not be crushed by this pain, and the boss who opened his mouth couldn't help but spit out the chicken in his mouth while exhaling out, fortunately, it didn't take long for the chicken to cool down, chewing heavily, and the feeling he had never enjoyed made Li Tao nod his head.
Li Yulong looked at his father's funny appearance and smiled: "Eat slowly, there are a lot of this, I am satisfied that I can't eat more fried chicken, I will get fat if I eat too much, I can only eat it twice a month, he won't let me eat more!" ”
Li Tao was also a little displeased when he heard this, don't forget the satisfaction behind him, and then glanced at Li Yulong and said: "If you want to eat, buy it, I see that he dares not to let you eat it, you tell me that I will treat him!" ”
Li Yulong couldn't help but smile when he looked at his father's fierce appearance: "I don't want it, I'm good with my heart, I can't finish the food on this street every day, I can't eat it for a month, I don't want to eat fried chicken every day and become a fat girl!" ”
Li Tao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that his kindness was not rewarded, and saw Li Yulong walking to the stall on the side and said, "What is this?" ”
Li Yulong ordered the meal, and couldn't help but burst out when he heard his father ask like this: "Father, you really don't care about me, I've been basically busy with things on this street for the whole time since I got married, I didn't expect you to pay attention to it at all, and you didn't even know a thing!" ”
Li Tao was a little embarrassed, Li Yulong didn't say anything about him, looked at the food on the grill and explained: "This is called baked gluten!" The stall over there is called Liangpi, and the two of them made it together! ”
