Outside the wing, a slightly wealthy middle-aged man stood, looked at Li Huai and the others in the box, and glanced at Li Huai and the others in the room, the facial features on his face instantly turned into a ball, and the small eyes that were almost invisible immediately became smaller, and said with a smile: "What is there to dislike about Childe?"

That's it, these businessmen have long been cultivated, and when they see people, they laugh for three points, and then their tone is five points lower, if they have nothing to do, it's better to say, if they are a little bit unkind, the remaining two points are the leeway left by both sides.

Li Bad smiled and said, "You are the shopkeeper of the restaurant?"

The man shook his head, and then said with a smile: "I am the owner of this restaurant, surnamed Hao, I just listened to Xiao Er downstairs, I see that the son is dressed like this, not like an ordinary person, I am afraid that if the person in charge is slightly offended, the business of the small shop is not very easy to do, so I came in person, the son is not strange." ”

Li Bad listened to the meaning of the owner's words, knew what he was thinking, and didn't mind, but pointed to a vacant seat, and said: "The owner is good, the owner knows a lot, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to find fault, or I'm a little curious about this Yuzhou City, if the owner is not busy, please come in and sit?"

As soon as the owner of the restaurant heard Li Bad's words, he instantly tightened the facial features that were a little distorted with a smile on his face, walked in with a smile, sat directly on the vacant seat, and said with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, our Yuzhou, although mutton is famous, but there are countless restaurants, these are all commonplace when they come to the restaurant to find fault, they are all commonplace, the little second child sees that Gongzi doesn't seem to be very interested in this mutton, maybe he regards Gongzi as those who pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and he can't even pass on a word, he is offended, and he hopes that Gongzi Haihan." He arched his hand, and then said: "I heard from Xiao Er downstairs, but Childe thinks that the mutton in the small shop is not very appetizing?"

Li Bad smiled, took a sip of the mutton soup in the bowl, and said: "That's not it, it's just that I'm from the north, Boss Hao should know that these cattle and sheep in the north are still very common, I'm just used to eating, there is nothing unappetizing, don't you see these two people eat very deliciously?"

Boss Hao looked aside when he heard this, this Murong Lin is okay to say, but he just entered the door and felt strange, how can the current Taoist priest still be able to feast in this cattle and sheep restaurant? Although those Taoist monks do not have to be like monks, they are taboo in every way, but this little Taoist priest's appearance is rare, but in business, some people buy it, how can there be many mouths, and he did not reveal his curiosity, but glanced at it slightly, then withdrew his gaze, and said: " That's reasonable, the north is full of cattle and sheep, presumably Gongzi is not surprised, what does Gangzi want to ask?"

Li Bad pointed to a small bridge over the small river outside the building, and said: "I heard that eating mutton in Yuzhou City, and by the way, you can also take a look at the 'martial arts' of Huainan Jingqi and Jiangnan foot soldiers, why have you been sitting for so long, and you haven't seen half of the military master appear, are those rumors all gimmicks spread by Suizhou City in order to win over tourists?"

Although it was a private room, the wall near the river had been torn down and a chest-high railing had been installed, so that it could see the view on the other side of the river.

Boss Hao looked at Li Bad's fingers and smiled, "It's not the right time for that son, yesterday on that stone bridge, there was already a 'martial arts' competition, today may not be able to wait, if the son is a little interested, stay for two days, you can see the vicious fight of these soldiers with your own eyes." ”

Li Bad also laughed, "Boss Hao's 'soldier ruffian' is a novelty, could it be that Huainan Jingcai and Jiangnan foot soldiers, in addition to fighting each other in the past, also took the opportunity to rob the house?"

"Huh. A slightly disdainful laugh popped out of Boss Hao's mouth," Gongzi didn't know, because for many years, Huainan and Jiangnan are always competing for the main affairs of Yuzhou City, and the imperial court does not interfere, whenever the summer and autumn taxes are collected, Huainan officials have just collected taxes, and they have not gone far, and the officials in Jiangnan have followed up, so there is a situation of paying four taxes a year, of course we ordinary people do not agree, but we can't afford to provoke it, and then we thought of a way, everyone set up a table in front of the door, and the taxes to be paid are put on it. ”

Li Bad smiled and nodded, although this method is a bit clever, but to deal with these perennial intrigues of the state officials, that is a little clever, after taking Boss Hao's words, Li Bad said: "Later, after Xu is two groups of people a few times, they didn't buy it, and directly brought the sergeant forward, right?"

Boss Hao heard Li Bad's understatement, and thought to himself, this son, if he is not from those families, he must be the son of the big man's family, and sighed slightly, "Childe is right, if it is those state officials who collect taxes, it is easy to say, but if it is a sergeant, it is difficult to say, as the so-called 'Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable', not to mention that people don't reason with you at all, and they will ask for tax silver directly with their swords, what do you say is not a soldier?"

Li Bad nodded, and then asked: "Then what about later? I don't really call for double the tax silver, if I really do this, I don't think Boss Hao will do this business anymore." ”

Boss Hao chuckled, "Later, there was really no way, if you can get a relationship, you will give them these soldiers a little silver, they take the money, and they don't care about the errands of the state officials, as for how to give it, and who to give it to, it depends on whether you are in the north or the south, the north is handed over to Huainan Jingqi, and the south is handed over to the Jiangnan foot soldiers, and if you can't get along, you can only move away from Yuzhou City and go elsewhere to ask for a living." ”

Li Bad hummed lightly and looked at Boss Hao with a smile on his face, "Then it seems that Boss Hao is still the group of people who can get along with him, if I am really the one who finds fault and provokes, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?"

When Boss Hao heard this, he didn't have any veto, just waved his hand mockingly, and said: "Childe, don't tease me, a small family, I look at Childe's outfit and demeanor, Childe is a person who really has a big relationship, ordinary people like us who beg for a living, can be close to Childe, and they all feel blessed, where do you dare to offend Childe." He secretly glanced at the two beside Li Bad, Rao is a beauty in Jiangnan since ancient times, and he has never seen such a bright and moving woman, and it is still two, and he wants to speak a little.

Li Bad looked at Boss Hao's hesitant expression, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if Boss Hao has anything to say, I'm not a big person, don't be so careful, let's go out, it's better to be honest." ”

Boss Hao didn't answer directly, but thought for a long time before saying: "Childe, don't blame me for speaking straight, Childe is from the north, and he is not those barbarians from Beiting, he should be from the North, although Childe should be from a big family, but Northland people have always been not very likable in Jiangnan, plus Childe is so fanfare with these two beauties, I'm afraid there will be a lot of peace along the way, if Childe listens to my advice, it is better to dress up the two ladies as a good ....." Speaking of this, Boss Hao stopped his words, poured himself a glass of wine, saluted Li Bad, and drank it all in one gulp, apologizing for his abruptness.

Li Bad didn't think so, smiled and shook his head, what is not likable, I am afraid that it is annoying people, these Jiangnan romantic characters, the barbaric and rude people who do not scold the people of the north show their elegance, especially those who pride themselves on being elegant readers, I don't know how many poems I have written behind my back to Li Tingming mocking and ironic.

Boss Hao looked at this seemingly extraordinary young man who was unmoved, and sighed leisurely in his heart, he is still young, even if you are the son of a great family in the Northland, but after all, this is Jiangnan, how many wealthy families are entrenched here, once those sons and brothers are in the brain, unless you are the master of the Li family, otherwise even if you are the son of the Northland Continent Thorn History, you have to break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, there is no trick at all, but you should be persuaded also, this son does not listen, we can't do it.

Boss Hao no longer dwelled on this topic, put down the wine glass, immediately changed the topic, and said: "If the son comes to our Yuzhou City in the autumn just now, the son can feast on it and taste some different mutton tastes." ”

Hearing Boss Hao's words, Li Zi instantly raised his head, which was only concerned about dealing with the delicious food on the table, and looked at Boss Hao curiously, but his mouth did not stop, and the pair of chopsticks were still like swimming dragons and water Jiao, scurrying around on the table, and Murong Qing and Mingyue, who were chewing slowly, were dazzled.

Li Bad listened to Boss Hao's sudden turn, and immediately became interested, and asked curiously: "Isn't this mutton the most correct taste at the moment?

Boss Hao went to the wine jug, poured a glass for Li Bad, and said: "Childe doesn't know anything, this 'first soup in winter' is mutton soup, but if the sheep in early autumn meets the carp in autumn, it is even more unique, the signature dish of the small shop is the 'fish belly hidden sheep', but the son came late, the carp at this time is not easy to catch, even if it is caught, it is very fishy, plus the smell of mutton, it is not very suitable..... Childe?"

As Boss Hao spoke, he saw that Li Bad didn't seem to be listening to his introduction, but looked outside the restaurant, and followed Li Bad with some curiosity.

Li Bad picked up the wine glass, walked slowly and leisurely to the fence, sat on the railing leaning, pointed to the stone bridge and said with a smile: "Haha, Boss Hao seems to have said something wrong, you see, isn't it just about to open the frame and compare over there?"

To the north, the long knife is unsheathed.

To the south, there are long guns.

In the past, the two sides were just bare-handed, but today they directly drew their swords against each other.

A young general from Jiangnan Province spat out a mouthful of phlegm rudely, and a treasure knife in his hand pointed directly at the rangers in Huainan, shouting: "I slaughter a few Huainan wastes, the prince of Huainan shouldn't trouble me, right?"
