In the Changfeng wine shop in the Jiuqiaomen Market of Taiping Mansion, Da Liu, a doctor of tea and rice and wine, came out of the private room of Fuzi No. A with a food card, turned his head and looked around, and saw a young man wearing a white pious cloth shirt, a clean blue and white handkerchief on his arm, and a clean red lacquer tray in both hands, and hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Xiaoyi, the guest officer of Fujia wants to eat Ejiao jujubes, go quickly!" Li Xiaoqi agreed crisply, holding the tray, and ran briskly towards Fuzi A.

"Guest officer, send Ejiao jujube." The door curtain suddenly lifted from the inside silently, Li Xiaoqi was stunned, and hurriedly bent his eyes slightly, revealing a bright and clean smile, sad to say, this skin bag is far less beautiful than the one she used to be, the only thing that is better than the past is this smile, according to Mr. Lin's statement, the smile is like a flower blooming in the morning glow, which makes people can't help but be happy.

Li Xiaoqi carried the tray into the private room, four guests sat around the table in the middle, but there were seven or eight sharp-eyed sturdy guards standing in the four corners of the room, and sitting on the main seat was a young noble son of about twenty years old, the young man was dressed in a moon-white silk robe, his hair was curled with a large cloud head green hosta with excellent water head, his face was clearly contoured, his facial features were exquisite, his sword eyebrows were starry, and his eyes were so bright that people didn't dare to look directly, and he was looking at her up and down with a hint of appreciation: "Taiping Mansion is really prosperous, even the small house in the wine shop, There is also such a character. The noble prince slowly shook the folding fan and praised, the words were clear and heavy, he was from the North, Li Xiaoqi smiled, and his bearing was more peaceful, this compliment, she heard a lot, if it weren't for such a character, her dates could be sold so expensive and so fast? Li Xiaoqi lifted the snow-white summer cloth covered on the tray, took two plates of Ejiao dates and put them on the table, hung down the tray, and took two steps back.

"How much money do you have for these two plates of dates?" The chubby middle-aged man sitting at the bottom asked with a smile,

"Reward with the son." Li Xiaoqi looked at the noble son sitting on the top, smiled brightly, and replied without being arrogant or humble, the noble son couldn't help laughing, raised his eyebrows, looked at the two plates of dates, and asked slowly: "What if the son doesn't appreciate it?" ”

"It is a blessing that this jujube can be favored by a peerless person like Gongzi." Li Xiaoqi looked at the noble son and said seriously, the middle-aged man sitting on the left side of the noble son laughed out loud, the young man on the right covered his mouth with a fan, and his shoulders twitched with laughter, the young man squinted at Li Xiaoqi with a serious face, snorted, and raised his hand to signal, "Reward him!" ”

The middle-aged man sitting at the bottom came out of his purse and handed it to Li Xiaoyi, who took the silver coin with the same smile, bowed slightly and thanked the noble son, and withdrew.

The middle-aged man on the left looked at him and said in a low voice: "It's just an interesting little guy, second master, this action is very important, and there is no way to give birth to it." ”

"Hmm." The noble prince leaned back in the chair, took a jujube and looked at it, and threw it on the table again.

Da Liu and the kitchen bell reported the dishes, and Xiao Mi had already turned back with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Uncle Liu!" ”

"Sold out?" Da Liu looked at the tray in his hand and asked,

"Hmm!" Xiao Mi smiled so much that his eyes bent into crescent moons, nodded heavily, Da Liu reached out and patted Xiao Mi's shoulder, and couldn't help laughing, "Go to the back kitchen to find your brother, I must have prepared good food for you, you are sold out, and those guys can also open the market to sell things!" Xiao Qi smiled and thanked Da Liu, carried the tray, and ran to the back kitchen of Changfeng Building.

The back kitchen was busy, Li Zonggui was busy dismantling a half-cooked pig's head, and when he saw Xiao Mi coming in, he hurriedly put down the sharp knife in his hand and was about to stand up, but the old man who was the white case cook next to him stood up and patted Li Zonggui's shoulder and signaled: "You are busy with you, this pig's head and bell are in a hurry to use it, I am empty, give Xiao Mi something to eat!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Fang!" Xiao Mi thanked him sweetly, and moved a high stool from behind the door, put it next to Li Zonggui's case, and moved a small pestle over, the old man picked a bowl of haggis from the soup pot, and took a scone from the stove and put it on the bowl, put the bowl on the high stool, and then turned around, and brought a bowl of red rice porridge over. Xiao Mi washed his hands and sat on the small pestle, picked up the chopsticks, and took a deep breath, "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Taste the pie! This is specially given to you by Uncle Fang, look, it's full of flax grains! The old man said with a smile, Xiao Mi picked up the cake and took a bite, squinting his eyes in enjoyment, this is the taste! This is called baked cakes! Xiao Qin, who was kneading the dough next to him, turned his head and asked, "Xiao Mi, your Ejiao dates are sold out so quickly?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Mi slowly chewed the cake and meat, and vaguely agreed, Li Zonggui quickly finished dismantling the pig's head, and while carrying a hind leg over to prepare to dismantle the bones, he turned his head to look at Xiao Mi, "Are you not tired?" ”

"No, I'm just standing in the hall, staring at those cubicles selling dates, not tired." Xiao Qi took a sip of porridge and looked at Li Zonggui, who was busy for a while: "Brother Guizi, don't talk, don't be distracted, be careful, I'll go to Brother Shui Sheng after I eat, and I'll go back with Brother Shui Sheng later." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road, don't just watch the excitement."

"Hmm." Xiao Qi slowly finished eating, took the bowl and washed it, came back to put away the tray, greeted Li Zonggui, Lao Fang and others, went out of the back kitchen, came out of the back corner door of Changfeng Building, and went to the Zhu family bookstore on Panlou Street to find the second brother Wei Shuisheng along the narrow bluestone lane.

Li Xiaoxiao, should it be called Li Xiaomei, or Li Xiaoyao? It's okay to call anything, anyway, she just knows who she is, Li Xiaoqi twisted a few small pieces of broken silver and the silver coin in her purse, and squinted her eyes in a comfortable mood, this day is finally getting better day by day, in the prosperous gold nest of Taiping Mansion, there are ways to make money everywhere, and there are places to spend money, such a place, but her Li Xiaomi's great love!

Li Xiaoqi turned out of the quiet bluestone alley, turned into a lively and prosperous street, facing the Liang family bead shop, next door is the Li family incense shop, and then in the past is the Wang Hemp Zi tea shop, Lou family plum blossom bun shop, here is the Tang family lacquerware shop, Daxiangguo Temple, Zhong family medicine shop, in the middle of the road, a pair of vigorous, proud handsome horses hold their heads high, pull the carved exquisitely, hanging embroidered curtains, bead curtains, exude a faint fragrance, strong fragrance of the car, elegant trotting past, occasionally there are Chinese clothes boy brother riding a handsome horse, surrounded by brightly dressed servants, whistling by. Li Xiaoqi stood on the side of the street, looking at the BMW fragrant cars with envy, having a house and a car, which is her first stage of struggle! At the very least, she has to be rich first! Use all the delicate and beautiful things she's used to.

After standing for a while, Li Xiaoqi continued to swing forward leisurely, today is lucky, the group of northerners in Fuzi are really generous, and a reward is two taels of silver! It's a full two taels and a little zero, which is worth the money she earned by selling hundreds of catties of Ejiao dates! Today is really a good fortune!

With these two taels of silver, you can talk to the Wen family's fruit shop today, and she wants to pick up Ejiao dates one by one! The dates she sells must be the best, so that they can sell word of mouth. Dates with a reputation can be sold at the best price, and after a good reputation, they can do their own workshops and sell their own dates to various wine shops.

The Wen family's fruit shop is in charge of negotiating the price of the goods, it is the shrewd and capable Wen family's eldest lady, Wen Niangzi saw Brother Shuisheng•••••• hehe, she Li Xiaoqi just sees this eyesight best, Wen Niangzi's little admiration, careful thinking, don't want to hide from her eyes! Brother Shui is really handsome and handsome, tall and straight, thin as a bamboo, willow eyebrows and starry eyes, with a faint melancholy in the cold, good kung fu, good handwriting, can write and martial arts, even when she first saw it, she also drooled.

Well, but compared with today's handsome guy, it's much worse, today's this, it's the real best, counting the previous life, such a handsome guy is rare, delicate and tough, it's rare that these two things are integrated and harmonious, look like that, it must be a person in a high position, and it is also in a high position, in order to have that momentum, not to mention that he brought so many guards••••••

Such a handsome guy, you can't find it, if it was in the past•••••• it would be good if it was in the past, you must come up to talk, you have to ask for a mobile phone number to say anything, you have to have a mobile phone number to say anything, you can't often feast your eyes•••••• maybe you can still have something and what, alas, in the past, I was also a beauty who couldn't take my eyes off, and now this skin bag is not as good as the original one! Far from it! Alas, where do you want to go, what's the matter with this skin, now in such a place, no matter what, you can't get up, if you go up•••••• that handsome guy looks at her, he will definitely be willing to take her in, take her as a concubine and slave or something, in this world, to be a concubine and slave, that is, to fall into a situation of no return, these days, she at least understands this truth.

Alas, now that she is here, living at almost the bottom of this world, the skin is the bane, even now, there are a lot of troubles, forget it, don't think about this, can't think about this, when I think of the past, this handsome guy today, it makes her sad and wants to cry, compared with the past, now this day, where is the life of people!

Where to go, I don't want to do this, I still want to think about how to use the sharp weapon of the third brother, don't use it, but don't use it in vain, and give Wen Niangzi a chance to do her best, then Wen Niangzi is capable There is nothing to say, that is, the person is long, and it is too big and three thick.

Li Xiaoqi turned her head to look at the excitement, while thinking nonsense, she is now selling dates, is a slippery head, people's dishes of dates are piled up, her plate of dates, although it is good-looking, but it is a lot less serious than the pile of pointed, because of this, she never said the price, only let the guests look at the reward, the people here are really wealthy, this looks at the reward, only more, no less, but they are more than a few big money, like today's reward, it is really the first time! It's a lot of two taels of silver! Li Xiaoqi pinched the purse again and sighed with satisfaction.

In front of Zhang Jisheng fried lungs, Li Xiaoqi sniffled, smelled the rich fragrance, paused, Brother Erhuai likes to eat this the most, come back later, buy two or three catties, let Brother Erhuai eat enough! She's made a fortune today.

Li Xiaoqi turned his head left and right, looking at the bustle, swaying and slowly shopping the street, when he was about to turn into Panlou Street, there was a commotion in front, the cars in the middle of the road hurriedly avoided both sides of the road, the pedestrians on both sides of the road and the shopkeepers in the shop ran out to watch the excitement, Li Xiaoqi was squeezed behind by the crowd, except for the stretched neck, he couldn't see anything, so he had to listen to the lively discussions:

"Hey, it's coming!"

"This is a big official of the two grades! Tsk, it's going to be a guillotine vegetable market in a while! ”

"It's also worth killing, I heard that South Vietnam has come in more than 100 miles, how many people have died in Chizhou Mansion!"

Li Xiaoqi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of a guy next to him, and asked with a smile:

"Little brother, whose head is this going to kill?"
