Li Dan called Brother Xiaoyi: "You take the book, run to Hongsheng's wine shop, quickly ask him to prepare some wine and meat, and say that I will be there soon." Then he turned around and asked Yang Biao to lead the horse and follow behind.

"Third uncle, what ...... this deal?" Yang Biao asked in a low voice.

"Do you really know this horse?" Li Dan asked with a smile, Yang Biao didn't dare to hide his grin. Li Dan glanced at Yang Dayi behind him and said:

This horse comes from the West, is the descendant of the military horse raised by the king of Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty, and is called the Hequ horse after the Song Dynasty. Powerful, durable, and able to travel long distances.

The first-class horses charged into battle and broke the front, and the head of the general was taken among the 10,000 troops, as Qin Shubao sold in the past;

The second-class horse galloped for three hundred miles without sweating, and there was nothing to do;

Third-class horses are good at pulling horses, and one horse can pull 1,500 catties.

This jujube horse is in the first class, and it is worth seventy or eighty taels. So let it go, it's not something you can receive. ”

As soon as he said this, Yang Biao was dead, his own Soma ability was originally half a bottle and he had no confidence, and he dared to take it big in front of Xiao Yi just now, and when he came to Li Dan, he showed his face as soon as he poked it.

There is a shortage of horses in this dynasty, especially in the south. Usually a horse is more than a dozen taels of silver, but if you are an ordinary horse tooth leading a horse to wander around, it is no different from going out with a gold ingot in your hand, purely to find trouble for yourself.

However, ......, he turned his face to look at the horse that was slowly following behind him:

"Third uncle, this listless look doesn't look like a first-class horse? Maybe it would be better to have enough forage? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage came in front of him, and it seemed that the steward of the house had come out to buy it.

Seeing this, the jujube suddenly raised his chest and hoof, raised his head and raised his mane "sighing", frightened the horse opposite, shook his head and retreated, the groom quickly jumped out of the car and grabbed the bridle, looked at this side in surprise, and avoided the car to the side of the road.

Li Biao was also taken aback, and almost let go of his hand and jumped into the shop next to him. Yang Dayi laughed at the back, stepped forward to catch the reins and said, "I didn't expect San Lang to know horses so well at a young age!" ”

"There is a golden house in the book, and it is the first time I have seen a river horse like this today, and it is still such a good one!"

After Li Dan finished speaking, he pushed Yang Biao: "You go, call that Gu Da to come!" ”

Gu Da was one of the first brothers to follow Li Dan, and now he has been assigned to be in charge of the town in this market, with a dozen brothers under him.

He has a leopard head and eyes, his beard and hair are tied, and he looks fierce (in fact, he dares to fight hard), but Li Dan knows that this person is the most righteous and trustworthy.

When he heard Li Sanlang looking for him, he hurriedly ran over and hugged his fists and said, "San Lang is looking for me?" But what are the commands? ”

"Da Lang, this is my friend Brother Yang, he is from the Northland, and I am about to treat him well.

I still have some urgent business to do here, so you can take him to the mixed hall (public bath) to wash up and use some syrup water, and then go to Lao Ji's ready-to-wear store to replace him with a new one inside and out.

Didn't take him to Hongsheng to have a drink together, do you remember? As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket and handed it over.

Gu Da obviously didn't do things for him for the first time, so he took it unceremoniously, and arched his hand again:

"San Lang, it is inconvenient for Brother Yang to walk around the street with a weapon, and it is very troublesome to be asked by the public.

Why don't you find a place to settle down, and then I'll take him to you?" ”

Li Dan thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Then settle it in Renli Inn." He turned his head and asked Li Biao: "Do you recognize Han An from the inn?" ”

"Who doesn't know?" Li Biao replied with a strange smile: "Even if you don't know him, you need to know his family." ”

Gu Da coughed, Li Dan ignored it, and continued:

"You lead the horse, take Brother Yang's weapon, ask Master Han to take a look at the horse, and tell him to take care of it, and the food and decoction are all wrapped in me!"

Li Biao answered, took the weapon and led Zao Liu'er away. "Yes, then Brother Yang will go with my brother first, and then we will meet in the restaurant."

Yang Dayi first muttered about going to take a bath and buying ready-to-wear clothes, and he didn't know how long his stomach would grow.

Seeing that he was well distributed, both of them were respectful and could not help but be amazed. Secretly smacking his tongue, thinking that he is really worthy of being the son of the prefect, and he has such a means at a young age.

Therefore, he endured the thought of wanting to eat, thanked him, and followed Gu Da to the mixed hall.

Li Dan noticed that he put the burden on his back, and thought to himself that he didn't know what it was, he would rather be entangled in the theft than take care of the burden, maybe this is his errand?

It was an accident to meet Yang Dayi, but Li Dan was most worried about the books in Xiao Yi's hand, so he changed his mind and took the others away, in order to go and talk to Yang Yi about it first.

When he walked into the hotel, the table by the window in the private room on the second floor was already arranging the dishes.

Hongsheng is not the name of this store, the name of the store is Shanfang Restaurant, the eldest son of the shopkeeper Liu Anhe is called Liu Yuansheng, and the second son is called Liu Hongsheng.

This Liu Hongsheng is like a stump sitting on the ground, but his body is flexible and walking like flying, so people send a call: sitting on the ground Taibao.

Because of the annoyance and bullying, he has been good at boxing since elementary school, especially good at cannon hammering and Yuejia boxing.

After Liu Hongsheng got acquainted with Li Dan, with his help, the family's business became more and more stable, and even the word "Restaurant" on the signboard at the door was inscribed by Li Dan.

Those ruffians and villains in this county know that they can't afford to mess with this flag when they see it.

The eldest Liu Yuansheng is different from his younger brother, he is a solid person who is willing to concentrate on studying food skills, and he also got Li Dan's guidance and true inheritance, making Liu's noodles a must.

For these reasons, Shopkeeper Liu not only did not object to the brothers and Li Dan, but supported it very much.

Hearing that Li Dan was going to have a treat, Shopkeeper Liu asked the boss to keep an eye on the kitchen, and personally supervised the guys to tidy up, sprinkle and sweep the inside and outside.

was stretching his neck and wondering why he hadn't come yet, when he heard the voice of the second child talking outside the door, and after a while, Liu Hongsheng staggered and led Li Dan in, shouting: "Dad, Li Sanlang is here!" ”

Shopkeeper Liu happily turned out from behind the counter in the morning, and when he saw that he was dressed in Confucian clothes today, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "San Lang came to the small shop to shine!" ”

"Uncle Liu's business is thriving!" Li Dan made a junior salute, and then said:

"Today, I have to cook by myself, making a steamed pork with garlic paste and stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots. Uncle Liu, please cut some fresh meat for later use! ”

Shopkeeper Liu saw that he was in high spirits and immediately responded. While instructing people to do it, he asked the second child to lead him upstairs.

Li Dan said no, turned around and took out a silver ticket and handed it to Liu Hongsheng, telling him to hurry up and hand it over to Han An at the Renli Inn.

"I have a friend I want to settle with him, and the man brought a horse, and I first asked Li Biao to take it to Lao Han, but I forgot to ask him to bring silver. You hurry up and give this to him.

Master Han is from a family of famous doctors, and I can trust him twice. You tell him to keep his horse at ease, and I will not treat him badly. ”

Liu Hongsheng responded, took the silver ticket and left in a hurry. He walked quickly, but he slipped out of the door.

Yang Xiaoyi could already hear Li Dan talking upstairs, caught him at the staircase, led him into the private room to sit, and asked softly, "Why did Brother Dan come by himself?" But have something to say to me? ”

"What about the books?"

"Here." Xiao Yi picked up the still tied book from the chair next to him and put it in front of him.

Li Dan shook his head and said softly: "Brother Xiaoyi still understands me, I brought these books to you." ”

"Give it to me?" Yang Xiaoyi paused: "Brother is joking? Although I knew a few words, I could barely read a proclamation. ”

"I didn't ask you to read it." Li Dan got up and closed the door, came back and pointed to the books and told him:

"This book contains my aunt's savings over the years. There are always people in the house who want to beat them, so my aunt told me to take them out quietly and find a secret place to hide.

Brother Xiaoyi, do you have a proper place? ”

"Well...... this." Yang Xiaoyi took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "I really can't imagine that there will be such a thing in your big family?" There's a good place, why don't I take you there?" ”

Li Dan shook his head: "No need, you don't know about me?" I can't say that one day when the anger comes up, I will do something illegal.

Brother Xiaoyi, I think so, this Brother Yang must be a capable person to come here from the Northland, I think he may be desperate, and I plan to take him to stay.

In this way, if something happens to me one day, you, Brother Yang, and Gu Daben will take care of my aunt for me, so that she can spend the rest of her life safely. ”

"Brother Dan, what are you talking nonsense?" Yang Yi's frightened eyes glared at the boss: "Why did something happen to you, what happened?" ”

"It's hard to say." Li Dan shook his head calmly: "There have been too many such things in the past that have caused harm or victimization, and I am just worried, so I will tell you in advance."

You find a place to hide it, the wind can't blow it, the rain can't get on the ground. Tell me when you're done and if you want to see it.

If something happens to me, you should find an opportunity to tell your aunt the location, and listen to him as he tells me. ”

Yang Yi looked down at the books, he didn't expect Li Dan to entrust such an important matter to himself, and nodded heavily after being moved: "Then I'll go now?" ”

"Far away?"

"It's not far, Nanguan Wai Zenlin Temple."

Li Dan touched his chin and thought: "Then you borrowed the donkey of Shopkeeper Liu, you can go back and forth for an hour, and you can't delay returning to the city." ”

"It won't take an hour." Yang Yi got up with a smile: "That gray donkey is a good livestock, and Huaixi goods have a very good foot strength!" Brother Dan, you talk first, I'll come when I go! ”

Li Dan smiled, and then listened to what he said to someone downstairs, and then heard the sound of footsteps on the ground. Liu Hongsheng came upstairs first, followed by Li Biao, who was panting.

"San Lang, it's all done." Liu Hongsheng looked a little excited: "Eh, it's the first time I've seen such a big horse, taller than my brother!" ”

"It's called Hequ Horse, which was left by Tuyuhun Khan during the Tang Dynasty. What do you know? ”

Li Biao is now learning and selling, and then said with a flattering smile to Li Dan:

"Third uncle, Han Xian'er said, there is nothing wrong with the horses, but they are tired, and they haven't eaten concentrate feed, which is a little ...... Uh, not adaptable! It is said that it is the same as people, and it is good to recuperate and recuperate. ”

He gestured with his hand: "I see that he found a big wooden barrel, saying that he wanted to boil water to bathe the horse first, and then soak it in some medicinal herbs to boil water to drink."

This man is really interesting, he doesn't talk very smilingly, but he treats animals better than people! ”

"Perhaps in his heart, the animal is the most sensible and benevolent." Li Dan said with a smile.

"Hey, where did Brother Xiao Yi go? Isn't he eating dried fruits and drinking tea upstairs? Liu Hongsheng looked left and right and asked.

"Oh, I told him to do things, and if the guest arrives, let's eat and drink first, don't wait for him."

As soon as Li Dan finished speaking, a guy ran up with a piece of pork belly and asked, "Third son, the shopkeeper wants me to ask, how to deal with this meat?" ”

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Li Dan shouted and jumped up, and called him two more: "You two eat tea first, and wait for me to cook two dishes to drink!" ”

Liu Hongsheng and Li Biao were overjoyed to see the meat, especially Li Biao's rare encounter with this meeting, the greedy hara was about to flow down, and shouted: "Third uncle, you go, you go, you have a nephew with you, don't worry!" ”

Liu Hongsheng couldn't laugh when he heard it: "I'm in my own restaurant, what do I want you to accompany?" ”

When the steamed pork was cooked, Gu Da arrived with Yang Dayi, and the time was just right. Li Dan was still unsatisfied, because he saw the steaming new tofu in the kitchen, so he temporarily decided to give Liu Da a hand.

He first stewed the soup in an iron pot with fish heads, chicken bones, green onions and ginger, rice wine, salt and star anise, and served it in a porcelain cup.

Then use a knife to finely cut the tofu until it is not broken, hold it up and put it in warm water, and the tofu will immediately fall into a chrysanthemum shape;

Wash off the remaining foam, then quickly move the tofu flowers into the porcelain cup broth, and put the green cabbage heart into it;

Then steam the upper drawer for half a moment, and finally put a soaked wolfberry.

That Liu Yuansheng's eyes were straight, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's really ingenious, I didn't expect that ordinary tofu, San Lang can make tricks." ”

"What is this?" Li Dan shook his head: "I can make three or four looks for you with this 'chrysanthemum tofu', and I'll make it for you when I have the kung fu!"

This cup is too hot now, you can wait a moment and ask the buddy to bring it up. After saying that, he took off his apron and prepared to go back upstairs to greet everyone.

As soon as he walked to the staircase, he saw Yang Yizheng throwing the reins of the donkey to the man, wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeve and striding into the door, seeing him smile and saying, "San Lang, I'm back!" ”
