Chapter 232: Li Qingming
Li Qingming, the eldest of the Li family in the capital, was suddenly awakened.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that I was sitting in a green carriage, the carriage was shaking slightly, and there was the sound of a little girl talking softly.
Outside the carriage, there were noisy and noisy voices, and he was also very happy, it seemed that he had returned to the capital, and he had been in the car for several days, which had already made his heart a little tired.
"If we can eat the Wang family this time, our Li family will be the largest family in the capital, even if the imperial court wants to give us some face, then the salt can also be sold openly."
Outside the carriage there was the sound of shouting, shouting, cheering, and the laughter of the children as they played, and his soft and vicious words were muffled, and no one heard what he said.
Li Qingming sighed.
He knew that this choice was very risky, the Li family had passed twenty years from an old fritter family that was eating and waiting to die in the capital, and my Li family's ambition was more than a small Wang family.
The young man's eyes were full of ambition, but fleeting.
He sniffed his nose, and the smell of wine, pancakes, and fried fruit was in the air.
"It's better to go to so many places in the capital, the aging of thyme is getting more and more fragrant."
The maid in the carriage said in a small voice.
The little girl in the carriage is named Qing'er, who is Li Qingming's younger sister. I'm only 10 years old this year. In addition, he was born with a baby face and is also small. It looks like a seven or eight-year-old child. The little face is chubby, white and red, wearing a small red skirt, and the little hand is still rubbing the hairrope for Qing Ming to get out of the car to tie his hair, which looks very pleasing.
And the hair rope in her hand is also made of a very expensive bark, which will naturally exude a faint fragrance, but the only disadvantage is that it will be hard when it is cold, and she needs to rub her hands back and forth to rub her little hands and keep smiling on her face.
Seeing that Qing'er was originally angry, he also smiled and didn't speak again.
The carriage soon stopped.
Qing Ming lifted the curtain and got out of the car, the gray and white streets, paved with bluestone bricks, each with a basin-sized bluestone pavement in the capital is still so unforgettable.
There are cars and cars on the streets, and people leading horses to and fro.
The hawkers and the girls and ladies who came out to hang out were not shy about it, and they showed their faces and laughed again and again.
Li Qingming looked up at the thyme wine shop in front of him.
The white plaque is a rectangle, and in the middle of it is written five big characters: Thyme Wine Workshop.
"Master Li is here! Please inside, please inside! The No. 1 wing room is reserved for you! A little guy greeted him with a smile on his face.
As soon as I saw that the Li family was coming, the shopkeeper was also very good.
Li Qingming nodded, a rich boy style, took the silver-edged white paper fan from the hand of Qing'er on the side, shook it slightly, the fan surface unfolded, and a picture of mountains and rivers was drawn on it
It is an inscription written by everyone.
He followed the little guy into the winery, and at first glance he was a frequent visitor here.
The brewery is divided into two floors, a lobby on the first floor and a private room on the second floor. At this time, there were many people sitting in the hall listening to people singing.
A girl in green stood crisply in the empty space, her voice was tactful, and a middle-aged woman was playing the pipa next to her.
The song is a song of Sanhuichuan, which tells the poignant and sad story of a general who went on an expedition and a fox girl in the mountains.
It's a pity that the drinkers present are all rough people, only a few literati can still understand, and the rest of them turn a blind eye to the two girls. There are not many rewards, and rough people still account for the majority in such a wine shop.
Li Qingming stopped, seeing that the first floor was so noisy, he also asked to find a vacant seat on the first floor and sit down.
"Who ordered this Sanhui pass?" He asked casually.
His status in this Thyme Wine Shop is different, if this Thyme Wine Shop is equivalent to a five-star hotel, and he Li Qingming is the super supreme vIP user here. The lord who spends at least 10,000 taels of silver a year, and even the thyme aging that few people here can afford to drink is a jar of booze.
This kind of expense is quite generous even in the capital, and it is already a top customer for this winery.
"It's Zhao Gongzi. Zhao beats Zhao Gongzi. The little guy whispered back.
When Li Qingming heard that it was the eldest of the Zhao family, he couldn't embarrass him, so he waved his hand and let him go.
After he pulled Qing'er's sister to sit down, his eyes swept around the crowd on the first floor, and soon he saw a thin boy with a pale face, dressed in white, holding a rather wrapped golden ruffle folding fan in his hand, and the folding fan shook gently.
"I guess I'm in love with the little girl singing again." Li Qingming, who knew the Zhao family very well, shook his head and said.
"My brother warned him not to provoke women everywhere last time, but this guy still doesn't listen to his brother!" Qing'er pouted dissatisfied.
Li Qingming smiled and stopped talking. Start listening to the music quietly.
A table of wine and food was quickly served on the dark red wooden table, and Lu Sheng sandwiched a good braised chopsticks, put it in his mouth and drank a sip of thyme aging. Braised fat but not greasy, melt in the mouth, overflowing fragrance, can be said to be full of color, flavor and thyme, aging is even more rare, this is a spirit, but can drink the sweetness of flowers and fruits, strong and sweet, people have an endless aftertaste.
"Brocade clothes and food, carefree, and the little beauty maid is warm, this kind of life is not too comfortable." Li Qingming sometimes thinks about whether he wants to live like this for the rest of his life, anyway, the current Li family is already the second largest family in the capital, so he doesn't have to make such a big move.
Take a bite of food and take a sip of wine.
Then open her mouth and let Qing'er's sister stuff a peeled northern ice shrimp.
In this capital, if you want to eat an ice shrimp, it is a luxury to the extreme, transported from the northern region, every once in a while to seal with new ice cubes to maintain the flavor of the shrimp, trekking thousands of miles to eat this bite of ice shrimp.
Moreover, the body length of ice shrimp is one of that of ordinary shrimp
Half, the taste of the shrimp is incomparably delicious. The shrimp melts in your mouth, and it can be said that it is extremely delicious.
It's okay like this, and its price is also extremely expensive. Usually, it is a luxury for those little boys to be able to eat once a month, and where can they have such a meal as the Li family.
Li Qingming was eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and listening to small songs, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.
He did a series of things in the capital, and his means can be said to be as fast as thunder, and he solved all the matters in one night, which is also his consistent style for the Li family, and he will never give others a chance to breathe.
Li Qingming was thinking about things, but the door of the Thyme Wine Shop opened again.
A group of strong men in short suits walked in one after another, and found a table near the corner to sit down.
At a glance, these strong men knew that they were the people of the Beijing Martial Arts Gym, and their rough and heroic clothes had the atmosphere of martial arts practitioners, and the marks on them were the thugs of the Qian Family Martial Arts Gym.
Thinking of this, he secretly said that he was a loser. With the jade in hand, he ignored the eyes of the guests around him, but left the winery with his small feet on his feet and walked towards the carriage waiting outside.
"It seems that everyone has almost arrived, but the Qian family is too careful."
Li Qingming looked at the food on the table and couldn't arouse his interest, just said, I finished eating, checked out, and casually lost a lot of silver more than the original wine and food, and walked forward. The shopkeeper saw the silver two on the table and was also full of smiles, Young Master Li walked slowly, and the first room above Jiazi was already ready for you.
Li Qingming, who heard the words of the shopkeeper, was already accustomed to it, and every time he came to drink, Jiazi No. 1 of the Thyme Wine Shop was his own. But this time he didn't go directly to the room, but slowly walked to Zhao Gongzi, who was still listening to Xiao Qu and wishing for a beauty
He also patted him on the shoulder, Now go to room No. 1 I'll wait for you, you go and bring a few people from the Qian family with you, don't let me wait too long, otherwise what the consequences will be, you know.
Li Qingming, who was still enjoying food and wine with a leisurely face, seemed to be a different person, and his tone alone already made Zhao Da shiver from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Da, who had been stunned for a while, watched Li Qingming walk up the stairs above and muttered secretly. Cut, just go, what are you doing so scary, it's a partner, you can't let me get this girl first.
Although he complained, he was also a friend who had played with Qing Ming since he was a child, and he clearly knew that his character did not dare to slack off, so he ran to the side of several strong men of the Qian family and whispered something in the ear of their leader.
The leading strong man was a little nervous, nodded and followed Zhao Da. Walking up the stairs, several people stepped on the stairs and made a clattering sound.
It was obviously the first time for a few strong men to come to such a high-end place, and they were a little surprised by the stairs made of fine yew wood.
And Zhao Da was not surprised by their appearance, and came here
Many people who drink alcohol are laymen, and they come here to drink and eat, and they all order the cheapest, how can they understand the taste of the rich.
Not to mention the craftsmanship of the staircase, the entire design and layout of this thyme distillery is the collaboration of several of the best carpenters and bricklayers in the capital.
Brick by brick, every little object is priceless. These rough people can also cause trouble outside, and if they cause trouble here, they will be taken down instantly by several martial arts masters placed here in minutes.
It can also be said to be one of the few good places in the capital where there are many people in the underworld and white. Everyone just drinks and eats, regardless of their own portion, people from all over the world who come to the capital will come to the wine shop in order to feel this different atmosphere.
Hurry up and go, don't let Li Shao wait for a long time.
Looking at the stunned looks of several strong men, Zhao Da also urged a little impatiently.
And the few big men who suddenly reacted were also a little weird, and they seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
A few people walked into room No. 1 and closed the sandalwood door.
And the thyme wine shop is still noisy, with the sound of women singing, the sound of guests chatting, and the sound of the shopkeeper shouting.
It's just that the room of this Jiazi No. 1 is surprisingly quiet.
