Just like the current situation, if Zhang Yuanwai wants to rent Gu Ningbo's Mansion through normal channels, it is impossible at all! A lowly merchant staying in Bofu will make both Zhang Yuanwai and the Liu family enemies of the noble class!

So much so that Zhang Yuanwai had to put on the name of a cousin, and even the rent was given in the form of New Year's gifts, and they had to come in person! Thinking of this, Liu Haojia became even more determined to let the Liu family rise again!

Just when Liu Haojia was thinking nonsense, he only heard a commotion in the courtyard, and he knew that the Zhang family was coming! He hurriedly got up and went out to look. He was also very curious about this Zhang Yuanwai!

He walked outside the door and saw Liu Guangyuan opening the courtyard door to invite Zhang Yuanwai to come in. And Father Liu didn't come out to greet him at all, just waited in front of the main house! That's the difference in identity!

Liu Haojia had seen him when Zhang Yuanwai came to the door before, but he was still young at that time and didn't care much about this matter, so he usually ran out to play by himself after a few faces, so he was not impressed by him. He only knew that Zhang Yuan's name was Zhang Shunping, and he had been writing for many years, and he didn't know anything else. So today, he deliberately wanted to take a closer look at Zhang Yuanwai.

At this time, Zhang Yuanwai led two subordinates to carry gifts and just entered the door, Liu Haojia looked carefully, and saw that this Zhang Yuanwai was a little different from other businessmen, not that pot-bellied. It's about being long! Looking at his face again, he has thin eyebrows and thin eyes, a high nose bridge, but his lips are very plump, with three short strands of hair. And there is no mercenary color of those merchants on his face, but there are some scholars who look like they have a superior family background and have read poetry and books. It's just that Liu Haojia feels that he seems to have a sad face!

At this time, Zhang Shunping had already finished greeting Liu Guangyuan and was walking towards the main room. Zhang Shunping saw Liu Haojia standing at the door of the wing room and bowed his hand slightly, and Liu Haojia hurriedly returned the salute. Then he slipped behind them into the main hall.

As soon as he approached the main hall, Zhang Shunping took a few steps and said to Father Liu, who was standing on the steps, "I've seen my brother!" ”

After returning the salute, Father Liu said: "Brother Xian came just in time, your sister-in-law made a lot of dim sum, you must taste it later!" ”

Because the two of them have always claimed to be related to the outside world, and Liu's father is the elder brother, neither of them wants to be taken by others, so when and where the two meet, they are called brothers.

Liu's father had been standing on the top of the steps and waiting for Zhang Shunping to enter the door. He can't go down to greet Zhang Shunping, that's called a downgrade to greet him, it's a heavy gift! So if he goes on, he will really lose his identity! However, if Zhang Shunping came closer, and they were brothers, it would be cordial and not lose their identity to greet Zhang Shunping at this time.

While speaking, the two of them had already walked into the main hall side by side and sat down, and when Huancui served tea, Zhang Shunping took the lead and said: "Brother, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the younger brother has brought some courtesy, brother don't dislike it!" ”

Father Liu naturally said: "Let the virtuous brother break the bill again!" ”

After speaking, Liu Guangyuan took the gift list and went down to arrange the two subordinates brought by Zhang Shunping, while Liu's father and Zhang Shunping greeted each other in the main hall! Liu's father also specially called Liu Haonian's brothers to give Zhang Shunping a gift. Zhang Shunping naturally praised the young man for his extraordinary and so on.

After the ceremony, Liu's father sent Liu Haonian out, leaving Liu Haojia alone, which made Zhang Shunping feel a little surprised! However, he thought that it was just that Liu Haojia was more favored at home, and it would be over after two more glances!

Normally, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhang Shunping should leave after paying the rent. But Father Liu has something big to do today, how can I let him leave! What's more, Father Liu's vision is not bad, so he said without words: "Brother, I see that you have a sad face, is it because something has happened?" ”

Zhang Shunping smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, don't mention this matter!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Shunping was unwilling to talk, Father Liu hurriedly said: "In previous years, you gave me some gifts here, but the foolish brother has never reciprocated, and he feels very guilty!" In the past few days, your sister-in-law has got a secret recipe and made a lot of dim sum, you must try it! ”

Zhang Shunping restrained his mood and said: "The dim sum made by my sister-in-law must be good, I should taste it!" ”

When Liu's father saw that Zhang Shunping agreed, he instructed Huancui to bring the dim sum. As a result, this snack made Zhang Shunping quite puzzled! Because under normal circumstances, the host entertains guests, and three or four snacks are enough! But now there are more than a dozen things on the table in front of the two, which makes people scratch their heads!

Coupled with Father Liu's constant courtesy, it made him feel that this seemed a little weird! Does his family really have any secret recipe for making dim sum? But then Zhang Shiping put aside this idea, after all, this dim sum has been made for hundreds of years, what can you do if you make flowers? It's not those things yet!

But when Zhang Shunping looks closely, especially when he smells the smell, you think this dim sum seems to be different! Especially the plate of moon cakes in the middle of the dim sum is not only bright in color, but also has a faint sweet fragrance, which is very attractive! Even the other dim sum can be seen to be done very carefully, and when placed together, it is like a cluster of flowers, which makes people appetize when they look at it!

Zhang Shunping picked up a piece of moon cake and broke it under the beckoning of Liu's father, but before he could see what the filling was, a sweet smell rushed straight to the end of his nose! Zhang Shiping couldn't help but be stunned! It is said that as a wealthy businessman, he has tasted almost all the delicious things in the world, but this taste has never been tasted!

What Zhang Shunping didn't know was that most of the dim sum here was made with invert sugar syrup, and the taste was exceptionally sweet and fragrant! When you eat it, it tastes even better than the dim sum made of ordinary sugar!

Smelling this aroma, Zhang Shunping broke a small piece of moon cake and put it in his mouth, and in an instant, a pure sweet smell spread in his mouth, making him feel happy all over! Even his eyes narrowed happily, and even the sadness on his face faded a little!

Looking at his appearance, Liu Haojia knew that this thing should almost be done! It is said that sweets can dispel sorrow, stimulate the secretion of dopamine, and can make people feel happy! Zhang Shunping in front of him is the best example!

A piece of moon cake in the mouth, this sweet taste makes Zhang Shunping can't stop eating it! And coupled with Liu's father's greeting, he ate a lot of snacks! This sweet snack makes him feel blissful!

It wasn't until he tried almost every snack that he suddenly got up and said, "Brother, it's rude, it's rude!" ”
