Chapter 21: Childe is tricked

Li Yu smiled at the old man, "Why are you old man so polite to me." ”

The old man said, "Look at this little brother, the character is a rarity." I'm afraid that our small temple can't accommodate it! There is a way, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, Miss don't forget! After saying that, the old man went back to the stove and went to work with him.

Li Yu suddenly heard the old man's words, and the smile that was originally on his face gradually stiffened. She glanced at Yu Ren, who was sitting sideways with her. At that glance, it was no longer as tender and infinite as Fang Cai, but a little more melancholy.

Yu Ren was also a little inexplicable by the old man's sudden words, and he didn't know what the relationship between this stall owner and Li Yu was. It sounds familiar, and it's not just the relationship between the store and the customer. But he didn't want to ask, so he had to pay attention to it secretly.

As soon as the old man brought up the three bowls of chaos, he saw two more people coming in the stall. Yu Ren heard the footsteps behind him, and he also looked back, it turned out to be Li Xianzhong and Li Liu, who had just been thrown off in Qiankun Garden.

As soon as Li Xianzhong entered the shop, he sat down at a small table next to Yu Ren and them. Then he suddenly turned around, pretending to have just discovered and said to Li Yu: "Ah! What a coincidence! Unexpectedly, Qiankun Garden had just broken up, and we met here again. There is fate, there is really fate. ”

Li Xianzhong said this cheekily, and before Li Yu and the three of them could reply, the stall owner on the side spoke first.

"It's a fart. According to me, yes, it's not too much for toads to want to eat swan meat! ”

Ying'er laughed when she heard this. "Uncle is really a hero, and he sees it the same way."

Li Xianzhong saw that the stall owner was also disrespectful to him, so he wanted to exert his authority, but when he turned his head and saw Li Yuzheng looking at him vigilantly, he obviously meant to say, don't mess around! As soon as Li Xianzhong saw Li Yu's eyes, he immediately changed his mind. He took out a piece of silver worth five taels from his bosom, put it on the table, and said to the stall owner: "Two bowls of chaos, no need to look for them." ”

This is the method that Li Xianzhong is used to. He is a smart person, and he has already understood the meaning of Li Yu's glance. Since Li Yu doesn't like him to use tough methods, then he will change another killer move. Of course, this trick "sugar-coated cannonball", every time he used this trick before, it was on some big people, and this was the first time he used it on a hawker. If it weren't for Li Yu's relationship, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to this kind of person at all.

Although Li Xianzhong gave this stall owner a lot of face, he didn't expect this old man to sell Li Xianzhong's face very much. He didn't even look at the silver, so he said directly: "Chaos is sold out." ”

Li Xianzhong was angry with this, but because Li Yu's face was unable to attack, he got up to leave. But when he stood up and glanced at Li Yu, he changed his mind again. In his eyes, Li Yu is like a treasure in the world, how can he leave this treasure behind and walk away! However, he had already stood up, and he was embarrassed not to leave. Li Xianzhong was there hesitating. Ying'er stood up with a smile.

"Li Gongzi wants to eat chaos, right? I'll give you two bowls here! Five taels of silver for a bowl. ”

When Li Xianzhong heard this, he was very happy, and hurriedly sent the silver on the table to the little girl Ying'er, and then took out five taels to make up for it.

"Thank you, girl!"

Ying'er took the silver with a smile and placed the two bowls of chaos in front of Li Xianzhong's table. said, "I didn't expect that a person like Li Gongzi could change his temperament, and it was really rare to be able to deign to come to such a small place." Our young lady likes those who are sympathetic to the people the most, and she is the most disdainful of those who bully people. Li Gongzi can change his mistakes and follow the good stream, but it is not easy. It's rare, it's rare! ”

After Ying'er said these words, she retreated to her table and said to Li Yu: "Miss, didn't you say that you want to eat Zhao Ji's rice balls?" I'm going to buy it for you. Thinking about it, their house should not have closed yet. ”

Li Xianzhong, who was on the side, suddenly received Ying'er's praise, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, this is something that has never happened before. He had been pestering Li Yu since he last met them in Hangzhou. This pair of masters and servants are more fierce than the other, and they have never given him a good look, this is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair.

In his heart, this is a good thing that is even rarer than the auspicious capital from the sky. Li Xianzhong believed that this was Li Yu's indirect overture to him through the mouth of Yahuan. Now, hearing Ying'er say that she was going to buy glutinous rice balls, Li Xianzhong quickly stood up. He was determined to seize this rare opportunity and add a few points to his impression in Li Yu's heart. "This kind of trivial thing is useless for a working girl. I'll just let Li Liu do it. As he spoke, he beckoned to Li Liuyi.

Ying'er deliberately glanced at Li Liu, sighed and said, "Forget it!" The lady of the Zhao family is a coward, just like his fierce appearance, he is still straddling the knife, but he is afraid that people will be scared away before they see him enter the door. I'd better go on my own! ”

Li Xianzhong wanted to behave, and when he heard this, he hurriedly came up and stopped: "What the girl said is reasonable." In this way, I went to buy it myself. After speaking, without waiting for Ying'er to agree, he took off the saber on his waist and handed it to Li Liu, and flew out like a fly.

Li Liu held the young master's sword, and he didn't know whether to follow or not to follow for a while. I had to shout behind me: "Young master, young master, what should I do?" ”

"You wait here for me, and I'll be back in a moment." After speaking, Li Xianzhong hurriedly went.

As soon as Ying'er waited for Li Xianzhong to go out, she immediately quietly waved to the stall owner's daughter, and then whispered something to her. After listening to Ying'er's words, the stall owner's daughter immediately put down the work in her hand and quietly left from behind.

Li Xianzhong came out of the stall and then remembered that he forgot to ask Ying'er, where is this Zhao Ji glutinous rice balls.

Fortunately, this street is not long, Li Xianzhong decided not to go back and ask, he was afraid that Ying'er would say that he would not be able to do this little thing! I thought, it's such a long street, and I'm looking for it from house to house!

After looking for a long time, Li Xianzhong found a small stall at the corner of the street, and a small flag with the words "Zhao Ji Tangyuan" was hung in front of the shop. When Li Xianzhong saw this signboard flag, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hurry into the shop.

At this time, the shop had begun to close, and a woman had her back to the door. Hearing Li Xianzhong walk in, he said without looking back: "The guest officer should go to another house!" We've closed the stall. ”

Li Xianzhong did not go out. This is the first time he has done things for Li Yu. If you can't even do this little thing, then don't let Ying'er's little girl look astray! I don't want to go further with Li Yu. Although the stall owner said that the stall was closed, Li Xianzhong believed that he had a way to let her make two bowls of rice balls for herself.

Money can make ghosts grind! Isn't it just two bowls of rice balls! Li Xianzhong believes that this little thing will not be difficult for him.

Li Xianzhong said to the stall owner who was still facing away from him: "Forgive me. I have a friend who wants to eat your dumplings. I'll give you five taels of silver, and you can make me two bowls!" ”

As soon as the stall owner heard that it was five taels of silver to buy two bowls of rice balls, he turned around. You know, at the normal price, these five taels of silver can buy more than a thousand bowls. Li Xianzhong was very satisfied when he saw the surprised look on the stall owner's face.

But to Li Xianzhong's surprise, the stall owner only glanced at him in surprise, and then turned around and went back to do his own thing. Li Xianzhong was greatly hurt now. Without saying a word, he took out the money bag, took out a piece of ten taels of silver, slapped it on the table, and said loudly: "Ten taels." ”

The stall owner turned around and glanced at Li Xianzhong again, then looked at the silver on the table, and then said lightly: "Do you have to buy these two bowls of rice balls today?" ”

"Gotta buy it."

"Do you really want to buy it?"

"I really want to buy it!" Li Xianzhong said firmly.

The stall owner looked at Li Xianzhong again, sighed, and said, "Forget it!" I advised the guest officer not to buy it. These two bowls of dumplings are too expensive for you to afford. ”

When Li Xianzhong heard this, he was furious!

"What, your two bowls of rice balls can't be made of gold, and I can't afford them, even if they are made of gold, I can buy them today. You make a price, see if I can buy it! ”

The stall owner saw that Li Xianzhong was determined to buy it, so he turned around and said to him: "Although my two bowls of rice balls are not made of gold, they are also more expensive than gold." The people on our street have always had a rule that if they close the stall, they must not reopen again. If it is reopened, it will not be possible to do it on this street again. If I make an exception for my son today, then I won't be able to do my business in the future. That's why I said that my two bowls of rice balls are expensive. It's not that I'm greedy. ”

Li Xianzhong didn't expect that the stall owner didn't make dumplings for himself for this reason, and most of the fire in his heart was gone. It's just that he has to buy these two bowls of rice balls tonight no matter what. So, he said to the stall owner, "Just ask the stall owner to make a price!" How much money will you have to reopen this stall? ”

The stall owner raised two fingers and said, "I must not open this stall without sixty taels." ”

Li Xianzhong didn't think about it, so he poured out all the money bags in his hand, exactly sixty taels. The stall owner stepped forward, counted the sixty taels of silver carefully, and then put them into the money bag one by one, and then said to Li Xianzhong: "Your old man, please do it for a while, and I will open a stall for you to make rice balls." ”

Li Xianzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
