Zhenhua smiled shyly and said, "I just went up the mountain to get medicine, how can I be qualified to dine with all the beautiful sisters." Go ahead, although the chefs in Wulaoshan are not very good-tempered, but the cooking skills are first-class, especially the steamed white fish, which is delicious and can make people bite off their tongues! ”

On the boundary of Wulao Mountain, Baili Lan didn't have much to ask for, and when she saw Zhenhua say this, she could only leave with everyone.

Along the way, Baili Qingbao followed Baili Lan's side closely, although his face was calm, but the little hand that was tugging on Baili's sleeve never let go. Although Bai Lilan told him that he would take him down the mountain, and Mr. Wu Gu also sent Senior Brother Dianhai to protect him all the way. But after Xiaobao frowned and listened, he seemed to be very disbelieving, and still clutched Baili Lan's sleeve, showing no signs of loosening.

Looking at the crumpled long sleeves, Baili Lan was speechless.

The chef of Wulaoshan is really not ordinary, although everyone is not hungry, but in the face of a table of delicacies, they can't help but sweep it away. Seeing Xiaobao's greasy hands, Bai Lilan had to take out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, and pointed at the tip of his nose and said, "It's already so big, how can you eat or have no rules?" ”

"The food is so delicious, if you don't eat more, you won't be able to eat it when you go down the mountain in the future!" Xiaobao's bulging little mouth was chewing, and he was a little overwhelmed by Baililan's words.

Although he couldn't sit at the same table with his master, this was not the palace, so Baili Lan insisted on letting the four maids eat with him. The maids refused at first, but no one could stand Bai Lilan's sharp eyes, and after a small struggle, they had to sit down obediently and raise their chopsticks uneasily. However, after tasting the exquisite dishes, they put down their reserves and began to feast.

Hearing Baili Qingbao say this, the spring breeze tasted it carefully, and said with a smile, "Little young master don't worry, the slave will also make this dish." There may not be the essence of it, but the similarities are okay. "In the memory of the spring breeze, the little boy eating has always been a headache for the prince and the princess, every time the nurse waits for the little boy to eat, she always chases the chickens and dogs, and people will eat so little. But you see now, you don't need to urge at all, you eat fragrantly, no wonder you haven't seen it for two years, and the little boy has grown so fast.

"Sister Chunfeng's craftsmanship is also very good, but compared with Master Li, it is far behind. I'm afraid it's hard to find a second person in the world! Eldest sister, you said that it would be great if you could ask Master Li to go down the mountain and open a restaurant, which would not only satisfy my appetite, but also earn money, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Everything is you want to go, so what do you want others to do?" Seeing that Baili Qingbao's face was stained with rice grains, Baili Lan helplessly wiped it off for him, and then said, "Besides, my sister now has a restaurant, the business is very hot, and she makes enough money, so why bother making trouble for herself." Okay, don't worry about these things, eat quickly, when you're done, I'll go to see Steward Zhou. ”

"Steward Zhou's foot is broken, and he has difficulty moving, if my sister wants to see him, she has to go to the back mountain by herself."

Broken foot? No wonder I haven't seen him for so long.

"Even if I go to the back mountain, my sister has to go this way. You can live safely to this day, it is all the credit of Steward Zhou, my sister not only has to thank him in person, but also has other things to hand over to him. ”

Hearing this, Baili Qingbao wanted to say something, but his eyes were all attracted by the braised double eggplant that had just been served, and after eating it, he forgot what Baili Lan had just said.

Knowing that Steward Zhou had broken his foot, Baili Lan asked Dongxue to prepare good bone-setting medicine and go to visit together.

Knowing that Baili Lan came to visit him, Steward Zhou was pleasantly surprised, but also deeply uneasy. As soon as he saw Bai Lilan, Steward Zhou hurriedly wanted to get up, but was easily pushed back to the bed by Bai Lilan and reassured, "Steward Zhou is still injured, so there is no need to do those red tapes." ”

"This ...... The old slave didn't dare! ”

"Why don't you dare? Steward Zhou did his best for the palace, and brought Xiaobao all the way to Wulao Mountain, not to mention saving his life, but also being taken care of by Mr. Wu Gu, such a great virtue, Baili Lan remembered it! ”

Seeing that Baili Lan actually gave a salute to herself, she was so frightened that Steward Zhou hurriedly waved his hands and said with a red face, "The old slave can't afford it, can't afford it!" It is the duty of the old slave to protect the little boy, where is the thanks? Back then, the old prince had the grace of knowing the old slave, and the old slave should have done his best for the palace and died for himself! ”

"When the palace was in turmoil, Steward Zhou could have returned to his hometown with a generous profit, but in order to take care of Xiaobao, he rushed here thousands of miles away, and the hardships along the way can be imagined. Whether it's as a county lord or Baililan, I should thank you. Speaking of this, Bai Lilan's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and she said in a low voice, "Although the scenery of this Wulao Mountain is pleasant, it is warm and suitable. But after all, it is located at the peak and it is inconvenient to travel, otherwise Steward Zhou would not be so careless and hurt his foot. And Xiaobao I want to take care of it with me personally, and it seems too unkind to leave Steward Zhou here. So I thought I would let Steward Zhou go back to the capital and manage a restaurant for me there. The salary is ten times that of Dingnan Wangfu, how to use people is also subject to Steward Zhou, if you feel that you can withstand the intensity of work there, you can also not recruit helpers at all, and be fully responsible, so that the rest of the wages will also be counted on your head. ”

The conditions offered by Baili Lan can be described as extremely attractive. During the period of Dingnan Wangfu, the wages offered to the subordinates were already very rich, and the poor people in the capital wanted to sell their children into the Dingnan Palace, not to mention that the wages were more than those of others, and the treatment of the subordinates was good, as long as they were diligent and studious, they could find a foothold here. Now Baili Lan actually gave ten times the price of Dingnan Wangfu, which is enough for an ordinary family to live for ten years! What kind of restaurant is it that makes the county lord offer such a high price?

Leaning out slightly, Steward Zhou asked, "Dare to ask the county lord, which restaurant in the capital is the one that needs to be run by the old slave?" ”

Seeing that Steward Zhou was moved, Bai Lilan slowly hooked the corners of her mouth and said softly, "Xiang, Ke, Lai!" ”

"Xiangkelai? The No. 1 restaurant in Beijing? Steward Zhou was obviously surprised, "Isn't that store without a semicolon?" ”

"That's in the past. After the death of the old shopkeeper, the proprietress could not support herself alone, and almost closed the store. Later, I met the proprietress by chance, and I felt sorry for her tragic experience, so I decided to help her. Fortunately, with hard work, Xiangkelai finally got out of the crisis and got back on track. After discussing with the proprietress of the proprietor, I decided to open a Xiangkelai restaurant on North Street, which can reduce the business risk and alleviate the overcrowding of Xiangkelai. At present, this semicolon is quite successful, and it can be said that it is making money every day. It turns out that when I was still in the palace of King Chen, I could still take care of it. But now I'm going to leave Bac Ninh with Xiaobao, and the current shopkeeper of Xiangkelai is an unobtrusive guy, and the store is in his hands, I really don't know when it will go out of business! Regarding the selection of the new shopkeeper, I was puzzled for a long time, and it was not until I came to Wulao Mountain that I remembered Steward Zhou. Steward Zhou is reliable and has a wide network of contacts in the capital. And being able to run a century-old store like Xiangkelai should also be a very tempting thing for Steward Zhou! ”

In fact, Bai Lilan's last sentence really reached Steward Zhou's heart. Since he was a child, he has always dreamed of going into business. But because of his poor family, he was sold into slavery at the age of ten. Although he has achieved the position of steward through his own efforts, his dream of doing business has never been shattered. Now that Baili Lan has offered such tempting conditions, he has no reason to refuse.

Changing his posture, Steward Zhou said, "To be the shopkeeper of Xiangkelai, this is ...... The old slave didn't grasp it well. And the old slave is old, and he doesn't know if he can do it. ”

"What can't be done, even Chang'an Wuhua's hanger can be a person, and Steward Zhou is naturally not a problem."

Chang'an Wuhua? Steward Zhou reacted for a while, and then exclaimed, "Chang'an Wuhua, Wuhua Gongzi?" ”

"That's right, it's him."

Seeing Bai Lilan nodding, Steward Zhou was completely messy.

Looking at his shocked look, Baili Lan said suspiciously, "What, what is there to do with Master Wuhua?" Why are you so shocked when you hear his name? ”

Licking his dry lips, Steward Zhou smiled weakly, "How could the old slave know the secret of Master Wuhua." It's just that I was a little shocked to hear the county lord say that he was the shopkeeper in Xiangkelai. ”

Although Steward Zhou's words were very vague, Bai Lilan still grasped the crux of the question and asked persistently, "Steward Zhou has heard of Wuhua Gongzi?" What kind of person is he, and why is the Wuhua boy I see always hanging and not in shape. ”

"Maybe it's because Wuhua Gongzi is familiar with the county lord, so he seems to be closer. What the old slave knows is no different from the rumors of the outside world. It's just that the rivers and lakes are all rumored, and the disguise technique of Wuhua Gongzi makes him superb, and he is good at poisoning, and his personality is moody, and the secular rules are like waste paper in his eyes, and he ignores them. Such a Wuhua son can be a shopkeeper in Xiangkelai with peace of mind, which makes people sound really incomprehensible. ”

"Who said that he was at ease to be a shopkeeper, and he ran to the county lord for three days and two times to be distressed, either to say that he was hard, or to shout tired. Knowing that the county is going to Nanzhao, he has to come with him, regardless of whether Xiang Kelai is dead or alive. If it weren't for the county lord's fierce words to stabilize him, I'm afraid that there would be Wuhua Gongzi who is coming with him now! Xia Yu saw that Steward Zhou seemed to have a good impression of Chang'an Wuhua, and couldn't help but want to mention him, so as not to be deceived by Chang'an Wuhua's reputation in the outside world.

Hearing Xia Yu say this, looking at Baili Lanhua's appearance and moonlight, Steward Zhou smiled. Feeling that the biggest doubt in his heart was also dispelled, Steward Zhou had no reason to refuse, so he readily agreed, and after the foot injury recovered, he immediately rushed to the capital to take over Xiangkelai.

After arranging this matter, Baili Lan's visit to Wulao Mountain can be regarded as a success. Mr. Wu Gu prefers Baili Qingbao, so he gave him the Chunhua swordsmanship that he had been thinking about for a long time, and let Dianhai tutor and teach, presumably with a little time, he can make a difference.

When leaving Wulao Mountain, Baili Qingbao kowtowed to Mr. Wu Gu three times with red eyes, and there was reluctance to give up on Wulao Mountain in his eyes.
