Chapter 363: Becoming more and more curious
"Coming? Sit back. Looking at the other party who was dressed in new clothes and had a little wetness on the tip of his hair, Li Anran, who knew that the other party had mostly washed himself when he changed his clothes, pointed to the seat on the side and said.
Li Rui, who had already regarded the person in front of him as a child of a big family, was not polite, and sat down after a salute. Then he took out a few small strings of copper coins from his arms and put them on the dining table, and said, "Lang Jun, this is the money recovered." ”
"Well, Squire, take it." Glancing at the copper coins on the table, Li Anran, who knew that the other party was saying that he was not a person who was greedy for small profits, nodded secretly for this kind of behavior, and then said to Su Xiaomei.
After entering the private room, he put the long sword in his hand on Su Xiaomei, who had assembled the sword rack, and was very curious about why his young master would do this. You must know that not to mention such a small amount of money, even pearls and gems have been rewarded casually, and no one has ever seen them recovered.
It's just that curiosity is curiosity, but Su Xiaomei didn't say anything. Instead, he stepped forward very obediently and took the copper coins on the table aside, but he did not put them away, because the money was obviously not as clean as the one in his own villa.
When he saw that the money was taken away, Li Rui, who was originally still calm, suddenly had a look of wanting to speak and stop appearing on his face, and this very contradictory situation made Li Anran feel very funny.
You think, if the other party really wants to take out the money, you don't have to take out the money you found to buy clothes just now. But if the other party doesn't need money, the previous broken body still has words and deeds. It's really not like acting to win sympathy.
In this way, on the premise that this Li Rui is not a liar, then Li Anran can only speculate that the other party is really in need of money recently. But because of his own style, he is unwilling or disdainful to do something that violates his principles and bottom line for money.
Didn't Li Rui also say it before, he had an old mother at home who was seriously ill, and there were younger brothers and sisters to support below, so he put aside his identity as a scholar to do this idle work. In this way, the possibility of this speculation is much greater.
But what makes Li Anran always have a doubtful attitude is that the other party doesn't look like a good thing no matter how he looks at it. In this case, if you really want to make money, why engage in such a business as helping. Not to mention writing novels. It's a lot better to write letters to people, paint pictures or something.
If this were to be changed to usual, Li Anran, who was most annoyed by what he had to say but didn't say, would take the initiative to ask what was going on. can be out of some appreciation for Li Rui, as well as a certain bad taste. But again he pretended not to see anything.
"Mei'er. Let's eat. Picking up the meal delivered by the shopkeeper, Li Anran, who wiped his hands, said.
"Yes. Master. Su Xiaomei, who received the order, also wiped her hands, and then picked up a pair of dishes and chopsticks and began to pick up her young master's favorite ingredients and sandwiched them.
Seeing that this side has started. Li Rui, who was sitting on the side, did not move. Although the dishes on the table in front of him are absolutely full of color, flavor and flavor, and I haven't eaten enough for a long time, I still don't hold on until I get permission.
"Well, this yellow croaker is well done." Li Anran, who put a piece of fish meat in his mouth and tasted it, was very satisfied with the chef's skills in this seafood building.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the private room that was still very quiet: "Coo~"
As this voice sounded, Li Rui, who was still resisting the temptation of food, suddenly turned red with a thin face.
"Li Rui, I know that you are quite good-natured, but in life, many things cannot be solved by relying on wind and bones alone." Looking at the other party's complicated face, Li Anran said: "Since you are asked to sit down, this table of dishes will naturally have your share." Is it possible that you still want me, the employer, to entertain you warmly? ”
"You!" Faced with these obviously not very nice words, Li Rui's face suddenly changed.
But although the words are not good, Li Rui has to admit that what they say is indeed reasonable. After all, he is no longer the same person he used to be, and now he is just an ordinary person who supports his family by helping to earn a little money, so what's the use of being strong.
And the people first gave him silver to change his clothes and be able to walk into the seafood building in a dignified manner. But what about yourself, after changing into a green shirt, is it possible to really go back to the past? Wake up, you're a gang now!
It's nice for an employer to invite you to sit down at the table, and it's a fool's dream to be warmly entertained.
"For the sake of you and me, who have the same surname as Li, eat quickly, and after eating, say whatever you want to say to me. How can ink and ink become great in the future? Li Anran, who felt that the other party was quite pleasing to the eye, did not press too much, but said.
I don't know if Lu Dao figured it out, or because of something else. Li Rui, who heard what he said just now, was no longer polite, and after bowing his hand, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him and ate it.
Not to mention, although this eater's movements are faster, his demeanor is not vulgar at all. It is obvious that the family was once wealthy, and it is not a little rich. This can be seen just from the action of the other party picking up the vegetables.
Just like Li Anran just ate this yellow croaker, ordinary people who eat fish will definitely chopsticks at the belly of the fattest fish, and in doing so, under normal circumstances, the family foundation is actually very limited, and it is precisely because of the lack of oil and water that they will do this.
People who can really eat will not be interested in fatty fish belly meat at all. Instead, like Li Anran, he will attack the smallest but most essential gills on the whole fish, because there is live meat, the most delicious and tender.
Although Li Rui didn't touch another piece of gills that hadn't moved, he stretched out his chopsticks towards the whole fish, which was also alive. From this alone, it can be seen that the other party must have been a person who could eat before.
Li Anran, who was more and more curious about what happened to this family to become what he is now, did not ask again, but began to enjoy the original food on this table under the service of Su Xiaomei, who was dressed as a man.
For Li Anran, the best place in ancient times was not that there were many untapped minerals waiting to be found here. It's that this time and space hasn't been polluted and destroyed by humans, and it has a lot of excellent ingredients.
Take the yellow croaker you just ate as an example, the wild yellow croaker in modern time and space has become smaller and smaller because of overfishing, and the number is getting smaller and smaller.
And the price of pure wild large yellow croaker is also soaring every year. From the original dozens of yuan a pound to hundreds of yuan a pound, and then to tens of thousands of pounds later. In this way, the entire seafood market is still in short supply of wild yellow croaker.
In addition, there are also the three abalone on the table that are so large that people are speechless, and they are definitely extremely scarce ingredients that even rich people can't eat in modern time and space.
It is important to know that a considerable part of the abalone in modern time and space is artificially cultivated, not to mention that for insiders, the real abalone does not refer to the fresh abalone caught from the sea, but refers to the dried abalone made by a certain processing technology.
The weight of this dried abalone after the finished product is often only one-fifth of that of the fresh abalone. And the so-called abalone refers to a dried abalone weighing one catty. If you want to make such abalone, you need a fresh abalone that weighs at least five catties.
And this weight does not refer to the shelled abalone, but to the weight that will be removed from the shell.
In the eyes of chefs who specialize in seafood, a superb abalone is not only large, but also needs to be stored for a long time, just like a ham that is naturally enzymated.
After Li Anran became rich, he also wanted to try this legendary best abalone. As a result, the top master chef who cooked abalone only spent some money to find it, but he didn't even find a shadow of abalone. It is said that this thing is extinct.
But when he just ordered, Li Anran found that this seafood restaurant provided abalone, not only the abalone he wanted to eat but couldn't eat, but also said to use the best net abalone in the dried abalone as the main ingredient, and then with many raw materials, carefully cooked by the chef.
Therefore, Li Anran, who is not bad for money, ordered three at once. (To be continued......)
