Chapter 69: Triumphant Old Man Li
There is a great crisis, and there is no movement in Chang'an City.
In the morning in the West Market Tavern, the old Li Yuan of the bookkeeper sat on the stone table in the backyard with a look of panda eyes.
Li Yuanying, Yuwen Chengdu, and Xiao Doudou surrounded Lao Li Yuan curiously, and they all couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Doudou asked curiously, "Grandpa, didn't you sleep last night?" Could it be that you are plucking your beard and playing? ”
Why? Because Lao Li Yuan originally had a goatee on his chin, but now he doesn't have a beard, it's bare, and it looks very weird.
Glancing at his granddaughter angrily, Old Li Yuan complained: "Haven't you been hurt by this little guy of yours?" In the past two days, I have been trying to answer to you, whether the person is asleep, whether the beard is left outside the quilt or inside, but it has been fruitless for several days, and I have insomnia almost every day. ”
Xiao Doudou suddenly realized, and said in a long voice: "Oh...... So you cut off your beard and gave up observing? ”
Burst...... What to abandon observation? If I look at it again, my old life is gone, and I cut off my beard to get a good night's sleep.
Li Yuanying and Yuwen Chengdu couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed, "I have to say, Dad, you are really witty." ”
"Wit fart! I thought that if I cut off my beard, I didn't have to worry about the inside and out, but I didn't expect that this beard had been kept for many years, and it had already become a habit, and it was suddenly gone, and I always felt empty, and I couldn't sleep at all...... "Li Yuan was about to be tortured and cried.
Hahahaha...... The two laughed even louder, this old man, it's really funny, Xiao Doudou's talent is really terrifying.
Old Li Yuan went up and kicked Li Yuanying, "Don't laugh, it's really unfilial, you are indifferent when you see your father being tortured like this?" Isn't it a doctor? Prescribe me some drowsiness medicine. ”
Li Yuanying told him again and again: "Okay, okay, cover me." You are so old, taking drowsiness medicine hurts your body, I still want to take a look at the medicinal food, in short, let you sleep well for two days and rest. ”
"That's pretty much it!"
Xiao Doudou pouted and muttered: "Grandpa has no integrity, he said that he would help me figure out the matter of the beard, but now that the beard is gone, what should I do about my problem, hum!" Also, I don't ...... to be so funny as secretly plucking my beard."
Li Yuan: I'm ......
Yuwen Chengdu next to him opened his mouth and reminded: "Old man Li, aren't you the emperor?" Such a simple question, why bother to do it yourself, and someone will naturally present you with the answer if you tell it. ”
Li Yuan clasped his palms together and laughed: "Yes, how did I forget this stubble?" Don't be sad first, grandpa is the emperor, so I will order that the bearded old ministers in the court should handle this matter strictly, and be sure to give an answer tomorrow. ”
Li Yuanying hurriedly stopped, "Hey, Dad, do you want all the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to be trapped?" Don't mess around with your kids. ”
"Where's the nonsense? My granddaughter's business is a big deal! And the old man has been tortured for several days, so let the old guys who are eating in the corpse also feel it, interesting, interesting......"
Yes, it is foreseeable that this is a big trouble, and I don't know how many people will be pitted.
After a while, Lao Li Yuan came back from the palace, walked to the door and saw the recruitment announcement, the paper looked old, but there was still no one to apply.
Li Yuanying, who was drinking tea in the hall, shouted: "Don't look at it, it's only been a few days, and it's still early for the two of us to make a bet." ”
When Lao Li Yuan heard this, this is not good, "You kid won't be playing tricks with the old man, right?" No, you have to add a deadline, you can't be unable to find a cook for ten years, and you can't bet for about ten years without cashing in, right? I'm old, I don't know if I can live for ten years, and it's not okay to be relied on by your kid. ”
Li Yuanying was dumbfounded, "Okay, okay, add a deadline, you can say as much as you want." Don't worry, I've shown you a face, and it's no problem to live a long life. ”
"Coax my old man!" Li Yuan scolded with a smile, although he didn't believe it, but his heart was happy, because he knew that this son was not a mortal, and the masters who were on the side of the immortals were much more reliable than those ordinary looks.
"Three days, I'll give you three more days, if I can't recruit anyone, I'm going to send someone to find Daoist Sun." Li Yuan continued.
What? Three days?
"Daddy, you deliberately tricked me?" Li Yuanying was not convinced.
"You said it yourself, let me have the final say, what? Scared? It doesn't matter if you can't gamble, can you still be a father and can't be compared with you? Li Yuan's ridicule......
Li Yuanying was angry, and walked out of the door and stretched out his hand to uncover the notice.
It's not something you can afford to gamble on, thinking of Sun Daochang's fish soup that poisoned a street, Li Yuanying said that people should be cowardly, they should be cowardly, and their lives matter.
"This ...... Wait, isn't three days too tight? It's not going to work for seven days, ten days......" Old Li Yuan looked at it and panicked, don't stop playing.
Yuwen Chengdu was also surprised, but he didn't expect this kid to be soft and hard, unlike his style.
Xiao Doudou giggled and clapped his hands and shouted: "Daddy loses, Daddy loses......"
At this moment, a mother and son walked outside the tavern door.
The mother seems to be a middle-aged lady, and the son is a sturdy young man, but he is a little dull, and at first glance he is the kind of honest and honest heart.
"Dare to ask, is this the rumored parent-child tavern opened by His Royal Highness King Qin?" The lady asked.
Li Yuanying stopped his movements, looked back, nodded and said, "I'm here to eat, it's still early, and the two of you will go first." ”
The son next to him reminded in a low voice: "Mother, he, he is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I have seen him once from afar with my father." ”
"Beloved, hurry up and salute. The concubine Fang Lu, with her son's bereavement, met His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”
"Fang Yiai, please meet King Qin!"
Li Yuanying was surprised: "Oh? Are you a family member? Don't be polite, if you come to the tavern, you are a guest, there is no His Royal Highness King Qin here, only Li Yuanying, who is a shopkeeper, come in and talk. ”
When he spoke, he looked at the young man named Fang Yiai, nodded, and said in his heart, Is this the famous cuckold king in the future?
"The two of them are the first mother and son to come to eat since the tavern opened." Li Yuanying said enthusiastically.
Mrs. Fang glanced at her son and said, "It's the filial piety of this child, I heard that Chang'an has opened a parent-child tavern, which only accepts parents and children at the same table, so I want to bring my concubine to taste it." ”
Li Yuanying patted Fang Yuai's shoulder appreciatively, "Not bad, filial child." ”
After entering the door, the two of them saluted Li Yuan and Xiaodou again, and then they were allowed to sit down, Mrs. Fang was a little restrained, because except at home, it is rare to eat out like this, and it is still this way of eating with others, and Datang eats separately for each person.
Fang Yiai was able to let go, and chased after Li Yuanying like a curious baby and asked: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I heard that you are the chef of this tavern, and your cooking skills are even convincing to the imperial chef in the palace, can I see with you?" ”
"Erlang, don't be rude!" Mrs. Fang reprimanded.
Fang Yiai explained: "Your Highness, don't blame, I don't mean to listen to the secret, I just want to learn something from you, I can cook something delicious for my father and mother to taste when I go home." ”
Li Yuanying looked at this honest guy in surprise, "It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, but you are from a scholarly family, didn't you teach you like this?" ”
