Buying this small hotel cost Li Xiang twenty taels of silver. He also wanted to redecorate it and make it modern. However, when I inquired about the price, it cost more than 60 taels of silver, which was twice the price of buying a hotel. Li Xiang can afford to spend this money, but if he makes it so big all of a sudden, he may attract the attention of others, and then find out where his money came from. Li Xiang didn't want to send irrelevant people all day long, so he simply didn't do it, just tinkered with it and opened the business.

Since the owner of the hotel has changed, the name of the store will naturally have to be changed. Li Xiang didn't bother to think of the name, so he simply called it "Wu Dalang Zhengdian". Li Xiang was in charge, Wu Dalang was the shopkeeper, and he recruited Brother Yun to be the second child in the store, and the personnel of a small hotel were complete.

However, Wu Dalang has never studied, let alone knows how to settle accounts, at most, he calculates the level of a few pennies when a few cooking cakes add up, and letting him be the shopkeeper is simply chasing ducks to the shelves. In desperation, Li Xiang had no choice but to act as a primary school math teacher again, teaching him simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But Wu Dalang really didn't have this talent, he taught him for a long time, addition and subtraction was fine, and once it came to multiplication and division, it was over, and he couldn't learn anything.

In fact, this is not only a problem of Wu Dalang's lack of IQ, but also a psychological problem. Because of his short appearance, Wu Dalang was ridiculed on weekdays, which made him naturally have an inferiority complex. Now let him be the shopkeeper, every day to usher in the delivery, to deal with all kinds of customers, he feels timid when he thinks about it, naturally he is even more reluctant to learn, of course, he can't learn well. In the end, Wu Dalang automatically requested that he might as well learn to cook with Li Xiang and let Li Xiang be the shopkeeper.

It's no problem to teach Wu Dalang to cook, but Li Xiang asked: "You let your daughter-in-law deal with all kinds of men all day long." Are you reassured? ”

Of course, Wu Dalang was not at ease, but how could he dare to say it in front of Li Xiang? He used to be afraid of Pan Jinlian, but now he has been replaced by Li Xiang. He was even more afraid, sometimes in front of Li Xiang, his legs would tremble. Now that Li Xiang asked this question, he could only say against his will: "Don't worry, what's not to worry about?" Sister-in-law, you're not that kind of person, I'm relieved! ”

Li Xiang shook his head and smiled, thanks to the fact that he came through. Otherwise, Pan Jinlian will join hands with her husband to kill you. However, Li Xiang actually didn't want to stay in the kitchen, he was smoky all day long, and he just happened to push the boat down the river at this time. said: "Okay, I'll be the shopkeeper, and you will take care of the kitchen." But from today onwards, you have to learn how to cook with me. If you don't learn well. The food is not delicious, and if you smash the signboard of this store, I will ask you to pay back my capital, you know? ”

Wu Dalang nodded in agreement, saying that he would study hard. He is really afraid of contact with people, especially with rich people, he will always be bullied. As long as he doesn't let him receive guests, he can do anything.

Not to mention. Wu Dalang really has a talent for being a chef. Li Xiang taught him a few dishes for him to try, but he didn't expect the taste to be really good. This reassured Li Xiang. Officially opened. The small shop has just opened, there are not many customers, and a few dishes are enough. Li Xiang taught Wu Dalang more dishes while opening his business, and slowly enriched the dishes of the small shop.

Li Xiang learned cooking with Wu Yazi at the beginning, and what he learned was all the dishes of the Song Dynasty, which was just right for use here at this time, which was very suitable for the taste of the Song Dynasty. With the passage of time, the reputation of Wu Dalang Zhengdian has also spread, the taste of the food is good, the store is clean, especially there is a beautiful proprietress who is pleasing to the eye. It's just that this proprietress is a thorny rose, which looks good, but if anyone dares to reach out to pick it, you will definitely have blood on your hands. But men are like this, the more flowers that can't be picked, the more attractive they are, and many people don't come for the dishes, but for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang is actually very tired of those crazy bees and butterflies, so if anyone dares to talk to him, he will scold people at the least, and beat them out by picking up the rolling pin. But those who were scolded and beaten, next time, they will not come because of Li Xiang's bad attitude, they are really cheap.

Of course, there are also some guys who feel that they have two hands in their hands and want to be hard. But Li Xiang is now slowly exercising some strength, and combined with his martial arts realm far beyond this plane, it is not a problem to knock over these three-legged cats with skill. At the most, Li Xiang beat down six strong men by himself, which amazed everyone present, and gave Li Xiang a nickname, called "Jade-faced Rakshasa". Li Xiang felt that this nickname was okay, much stronger than any female insect and dominatrix, so he gladly accepted it.

In addition to the gangsters, of course, there are also people in the yamen who come to blackmail, which is completely consistent with the situation predicted by Wu Dalang at the beginning. Li Xiang also had a plan for this, and personally went to the county office, and soon after leaving, the news that the county magistrate recognized Pan Jinlian as his goddaughter came out. As soon as the news came out, those who came to blackmail Li Xiang hurriedly came to give gifts and apologize, for fear of being hated by Li Xiang, they sued in front of the county magistrate and were held accountable by the magistrate.

The people in black and white have been settled, and the business of Wu Dalang's store has become more and more prosperous. However, some people have put forward opinions, saying that the dishes in Wu Dalang's main store are not good, and they are better than those big restaurants in the county. But the drinks are not as good as other hotels.

In the Song Dynasty, the liquor was strictly controlled by the government, and it was generally directly run by the government, and there were very few private winemakers, and there must be a license issued by the government, otherwise it would be a felony. Therefore, all the liquor sold in the hotel is bought from other places. And those big restaurants have been in business for many years, or have a relationship, and can get good wine from the winery. Li Xiang can't do it in a small shop like them, even if they pay a big price, they can only get second-class wine.

But it's hard not to **** loudly, he is a traverser, the three major weapons of the traverser to make a fortune in ancient times, wine, glass, cement, how can Li Xiang forget? If you can't make your own sake, you can buy it from the brewery and re-distill it yourself. This is not a private brew, it is just a re-blending, which can be regarded as a side ball. Even if there is a problem, Li Xiang has the godfather of the county master, and it is not a problem.

Distilled spirits are actually nothing remarkable, except for higher degrees, neither the taste nor the mellow taste are necessarily better than the good wines of this era. Even in this era, there have been people who have figured out ways to make spirits that are no less than distilled spirits. However, no matter who figured out such a method, he would cherish it and never pass it on, so in the Song Dynasty, spirits were extremely rare. Therefore, as soon as the spirits of Wu Dalang Zhengdian appeared, they immediately became famous, and the name of "burning knives" made countless drunkards come to hear about it, so that the already small store of Wu Dalang Zhengdian became always overcrowded.

Seeing that the business of the store was so good, Li Xiang began to think about expanding the store. So he went to Ximenqing's house to get some money, hired a mason, and began to build a tall building in the backyard.

Since he wanted to build a high-rise building, Li Xiang couldn't make a fuss, and personally designed the style of the restaurant and asked the craftsmen to build it according to the drawings he drawn. Originally, Li Xiang was worried that the level of craftsmen in this era might not be able to build the building he wanted, but he didn't expect that as long as the money was in place, nothing would be a problem. There was no cement, so glutinous rice juice mixed with clay was used as a binder, and a four-story high-rise building was built with blue bricks.

It's not enough to just build a high-rise building, you have to decorate it. The glass walls do not want anything, and the facades can only be decorated with tiles. This kind of decoration is very earthy in Li Xiang's eyes, but in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, it is not high-end. Every family has porcelain, but who has ever seen porcelain plastered all over the walls? It's just too luxurious! Therefore, before the restaurant was completed, it became a landmark building in Yanggu County, and everyone in the county knew about it.

But before the restaurant was completed, Li Xiang finally heard a news from the mouth of the drinker, the tiger on Jingyanggang was finally killed, or was killed by a person with his bare hands! And the county government rewarded a thousand yuan, this person didn't take a penny, and all of it was distributed to the hunters who were ordered to hunt tigers, but were injured by tigers, they were really heroic, bold and atmospheric!

As soon as Li Xiang heard it, he knew that it was Wu Song who was back. However, he didn't plan to let Wu Dalang recognize each other, anyway, they were all in Yanggu County, everyone could meet sooner or later, and when the time came, they would naturally recognize each other, which was much better than deliberately looking for each other.

Sure enough, after a few days, Wu Song, who was named the head of the infantry by the magistrate, came to Wu Dalang Zhengdian with a few of his soldiers, and shouted as soon as he entered the door to burn the knife, the head of Wudu is a hero in the wine, come and try how strong the liquor in your store is.

Wu Song is now also a celebrity in Yanggu County, and even if Wu Dalang nests in the kitchen all day, he has heard of his reputation. When he first heard the news, Wu Dalang suspected that this person was his second brother, but because the store was too busy, he never had time to see it. Today, I heard that the Tiger Hero came to their store, so I hurriedly used my whole body skills to make a few dishes and personally delivered them.

Wu Dalang came out with the dishes, and when he saw that it was really Wu Song, he immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Wudutou, now you have made a fortune!" ”

Wu Song turned his head when he heard this, and when he saw that it was his eldest brother Wu Zhi, he hurriedly pushed everyone away and knelt on the ground, tears filled his eyes with excitement, and said, "I haven't seen my brother for more than a year, why are you here?" ”

Wu Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help and said, "Second brother, you have been gone for so many days, why don't you send me a letter?" I am so worried! ”

Li Xiang looked at their brothers and recognized each other, and felt a little funny in his heart. Wu Dalang is less than five feet tall, but Wu Song is an eight-foot tall Angzang man, and now Wu Song is kneeling on the ground, but he is still a little taller than Wu Dalang, I really don't know if the two of them are brothers?

The two brothers said a few words, and Wu Dalang greeted: "Sister-in-law, your uncle is here, come and see him." He said to Wu Song again, "You can also meet your sister-in-law." ”

Li Xiang came over and saluted: "Uncle Wanfu!" ”

Wu Song did not return the salute, but asked Li Xiang to sit down, and he pushed the golden mountain to pour the jade pillar and bowed to the worship. Li Xiang was startled, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Uncle has tormented the slave family, get up quickly!" (To be continued.) )
