Chapter 56: The Righteousness of the Robe
Li Changan did not go home directly, but came to a tavern, found a private room, ordered good wine and food and waited patiently.
After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, a figure of five big and three thick pushed open the private room and walked in, as if the private room was suddenly filled.
"Uncle Zhang." Li Changan stood up and clasped his fists and saluted.
The person who came was Zhang Fugui.
Zhang Fugui shook the animal skin jacket on his body, sat down with a puff, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "This county town is too big...... I've been here once in two years, and I don't even feel like I can recognize the way. ”
"Chang'an, how are you doing in the county town?"
There is a lot of concern in the words.
When Li Changan was out hiding, he told him the recipe of the hot pot base and the brewing method of the second pot head without reservation.
This made Zhang Fugui and Gu Weidao feel very relieved.
Li Changan did not treat them as outsiders.
They weren't mistaken either.
"Thank you Uncle Zhang for your concern." Li Changan poured Zhang Fugui a glass of wine, "My sister-in-law and I have just come to the county town not long ago, and we are gradually getting familiar with the life here, at least we don't have to worry about food and clothing." ”
Zhang Fugui took out a letter from his arms and sent it to Li Changan,
"Your master is also very concerned about you, even if the blockade of Linxian is over, he doesn't dare to come out to look for you at will, if it weren't for your letter, I would have to wait a while before I came to the county town to look for you."
"He is very worried that you will be bullied when you first enter the academy."
Li Changan felt a warm current surging in his heart, "Uncle Zhang and Master, rest assured, I'm doing well here." ”
Zhang Fugui took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms, as well as a piece of paper, "After you leave, I will open three hot pot restaurants in Linxian with others according to what you said, and the business is not bad." ”
"You have this silver ticket...... Also, this is a new deed, I rewrote it after discussing it with your master, you see, if there is no problem, I will sign the deed. ”
Li Changan took the deed, glanced at it, and put down the deed with a slightly sinking face, "Isn't Uncle Zhang slapping me in the face?" ”
"Why do you give me so much?"
The deed reads that Li Changan accounts for 60%, Zhang Fugui accounts for 30%, and the guys in the store account for 10%; The rest of the partners opened stores, Li Changan accounted for 40%, and Zhang Fugui accounted for 10%.
Zhang Fugui took a pair of chopsticks back to the pot meat, devoured it, and said while eating, "Chang'an, Wangfu Ji's business, in the final analysis, is all made by you." ”
"There is no hot pot base recipe, no two-pot head, and there is no Wangfu Ji, I am already greedy for so much, how dare I ask for more?"
"Uncle Zhang......" Li Changan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Fugui,
"Chang'an, I've always been uneasy to take so much, if it's just for myself, it's enough for me to take one achievement, but now I carry so many people on my shoulders, that's why I have the cheekiness to occupy so much ......"
As he spoke, Zhang Fugui picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of it, "Recently, I found a group of veterans who returned from the north back then. ”
"Everyone is not doing well, some of the old people in the family have died, and there is no mother-in-law, and some have a doll, but they can't even feed the doll."
"Everyone is fighting for the sake of Dajin, how can it become like this in the end?"
"Alas......"
Zhang Fugui sighed heavily.
Li Changan asked for two bottles of wine again and put them in front of Zhang Fugui, "Uncle Zhang helped those veterans again?" ”
Zhang Fugui nodded.
"Or else? Sixty percent is too much for me, I will take thirty percent, and the other three will be given to Uncle Zhang......" Li Changan said.
Zhang Fugui was just about to stop it, Li Changan continued,
"My father and brother went to the battlefield in the north five years ago and never returned, and if they were still alive, I think they would want me to do the same."
"Uncle Zhang has helped me a lot, if it weren't for Uncle Zhang's trust, even if I had a hot pot base and a second pot head, it would be impossible for me to scrape together three hundred taels of silver in a month to redeem my little sister."
"If it weren't for Uncle Zhang and Master, I'm afraid I would have been arrested by those people a long time ago, how could I come to the academy?"
"Uncle Zhang and Master treat me like a mountain, what is the point of giving out some silver?"
The chopsticks in Zhang Fugui's hand paused, a pair of tiger eyes were faintly wet, and his big hand grabbed Li Changan's hand and shook it heavily, "Chang'an, I ......"
Li Changan could clearly feel Zhang Fugui's excitement, "Uncle Zhang has the righteousness of a comrade, have you ever thought of a different way?" Otherwise, relying purely on help will not be the right way after all. ”
Zhang Fugui hurriedly looked at Li Chang'an, "Chang'an, tell me quickly, what do you think?" ”
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." Li Changan said, "Instead of simply giving the veterans silver, it is better to find a job with them that can support their families." ”
"If you can support yourself, the future will get better and better, and the veterans also have the dignity to stand up and live an upright life, otherwise they will be really deserted in the future."
Zhang Fugui's beard trembled slightly, and his heart was excited, "Chang'an, you are the first person who can think of their dignity......"
"I also want to arrange them in Wangfu Ji, but there are too many of them, and I can't arrange them."
Too many people?
Li Changan asked, "How many people?" ”
"One hundred and thirty-eight."
Li Chang'an's chopsticks have all dropped the dishes, no wonder, there are more than 100 people all of a sudden, and it will definitely not work to rely on the silver earned by Wangfu Ji to supply the help.
After thinking about it, Li Changan said, "The amount of money required to open a restaurant in the early stage of Wangfu Ji hot pot is not a small amount, and we can't afford it that much ourselves." ”
"You can try to open one in other counties first, and if it is successful, you can continue to open a store."
"Then based on Wangfuji hot pot, disperse the veterans, the store can't arrange so much, we still have spicy hot, and we can also arrange a group of people out of the stalls on the street."
"If Malatang is not good, I still have rock sugar gourds here, as long as I am not afraid of being tired, I will definitely be able to earn dozens of dollars a day, at least it is not a problem to dress and eat."
Zhang Fugui's eyes became brighter and brighter, and Li Changan's words were like a light, which suddenly dispelled the dark clouds in his heart.
"Good...... Good...... Chang'an, you have a good way, so that they can support themselves just by relying on wages. ”
"Thank you Chang'an, I thank you on behalf of those veterans!"
After Li Changan waited for Zhang Fugui to slowly calm down, he said seriously, "Uncle Zhang, before that, I still have to nag you more." ”
"If it's lazy to eat, let's not help such a veteran."
Zhang Fugui nodded and patted his chest, "Don't worry about this, I will definitely not let this kind of person ruin everyone's reputation." ”
"They are all men who have fought countless tough battles, and they still have backbone."
Li Changan poured Zhang Fugui a glass of wine, "When the time comes, Uncle Zhang will have to find a few trustworthy ones." ”
"The county town is so big, the cost of opening a hot pot restaurant is too high, but at the beginning, you can make spicy tang and sell rock sugar gourds, there are so many people here, it must sell better than the county seat, and more people can be arranged to come in."
Zhang Fugui laughed heartily, "It's worthy of Chang'an, if you really have you, my heart disease can finally be removed." ”
"Uncle Zhang is too polite, this is what I should do." Li Changan raised his glass to toast.
The two of them ate, drank, and ate to their heart's content.
Zhang Fugui patted Li Chang'an on the shoulder, "Chang'an, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." ”
"Your master has always said that you are suitable for the path of literature, but the martial arts are not impossible to cultivate, and then I discussed it with your master, and he asked me to bring this book to you."
As he spoke, Zhang Fugui took out a booklet from his waist, "This is a basic boxing method, which can strengthen the body, you have been in poor health, and you have time to practice this." ”
Li Changan took it and took a look, ""Five Fowl Boxing"? ”
"Yes, this is an internal boxing, not as strong as an external boxing, and it is not so burdensome to the body, which is just right for you to practice."
Zhang Fugui took the boxing book and explained it carefully, and Li Changan wrote it down while listening and asking.
An hour later, Zhang Fugui got up and prepared to leave,
"Chang'an, take care of yourself in the academy, if someone bullies you, tell us that your Uncle Zhang's bones can still beat a few people."
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry." Li Changan smiled and nodded.
"Do you have anything to say to your master?"
"Hmm...... Trouble Uncle Zhang to tell Master, the word 'Taibai' is fine, Master can know what I mean. ”
"Okay, remember to practice "Five Bird Boxing", which can strengthen your body...... I'll come back to the county town to see you in a while......"
Zhang Fugui nagged two more sentences before leaving.
He also had to hurry up and go back to arrange that group of veterans, and he didn't care about resting in the county town.
There are some things he won't say in front of Li Changan, but after today's conversation, he is already thinking about preparing a gift for Li Changan.
A gift that only he can give.
Li Changan saw Zhang Fugui leave, and ordered a lotus leaf roast chicken to take back, the little sister likes to eat this the most.
