Chapter 44: Li Zhuang's White Meat
Li Tao was right, Li Wenqing and the others were indeed doing what he liked, but the form they used was a little too far from what he expected.
It was only when the space behind the curtain was fully revealed that Li Tao slowly recovered from the shock.
Yes, Li Tao was directly shocked. Behind the curtain there was no beautiful little sister he imagined, let alone a beautiful little sister, just an old man with white hair sitting behind a table, and it was not difficult to see from his embarrassed smile that it was the first time he had experienced this kind of thing.
The old man was stared at by Li Tao a little uncomfortable, and reached out to sort out the fan, waking wood and hand towel on the dragon book case in front of him.
That's right, this is the surprise that Li Wenqing and the others prepared, a storyteller specially invited from other places.
Mei Youqian covered his face, and didn't dare to look at Li Tao's reaction, because this was really too unscored, even if he went to the Luotong Courtyard next door to invite a little sister who played the piano, everyone liked it. Why do you have to take the risk to figure out Li Tao's thoughts, if so.
When Li Wenqing saw Li Tao's reaction, he also sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was broken, could it be that the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's hooves.
This kind of thing happened, and Li Wenqing really can't be blamed for them.
They did spend a lot of effort to ask around, but no one could clearly say what Li Tao's preferences were now.
Even the family members of the Li Mansion only knew that the young head of the Li family was very fond of beautiful young ladies five years ago.
But it's been five years, and in the past five years, even Li Wenqing knows that this is the five years that Li Tao has been grounded in the Li family.
But fortunately, just when he was at a loss, Li Qiao and Li Shopkeeper of the teahouse knew that he was asking Li Shao about his preferences, so he specially sent someone to tell him that Li Shao has been very keen on storytellers recently, and he can play a role in this aspect.
So, Li Wenqing specially sent someone to the county seat of Greedy Wolf County, wanting to invite the best storyteller to come, but this was indeed what he thought about too much, although the price he opened was okay, but the place was too far away, and when people heard that they were going to Lijiazhuang, they shook their heads and refused without thinking about it.
In the end, Li Wenqing had no choice, so he had to use the little money he had barely saved over the years, entrusted a string of friends who had not been in contact for many years, and spent a lot of money to finally invite such a storyteller who was a little famous in the county town to Lijiazhuang.
As for what Li Tao would do if he was not satisfied, he had never thought about it.
What he thinks is that as long as you put in the effort, then even if there is no credit, at least there is a hard work, even if there is no hard work, as long as what you do is remembered by the leader, it is also earned.
Li Tao finally reacted to what was happening at this time, looked at Li Wenqing, who was a little evasive and didn't dare to look at him, and said secretly in his heart, worthy of you, you can always play some new tricks for me.
Don't look at Li Tao, although he didn't even have a job before, let alone being a boss or something, but at least his emotional intelligence is online, knowing that when this kind of subordinate is courteous, whether he likes it or not, he can't show it too strongly, and he should say something to encourage him appropriately, let him know that he is in favor of his behavior.
So, Li Tao patted Li Wenqing on the shoulder, and rubbed the wine that was surprised for a moment just now, and accidentally squandered the wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Wenqing, you have a heart." ”
Li Wenqing, you have noticed Li Tao's action, and all he is thinking about now is whether Li Tao will be disgusted because he figured out his thoughts. Hearing Li Tao say this, his face looked a little better, but the smile on his face was still a little reluctant.
"Ahem, may I ask who you are?" After comforting Li Wenqing, Li Tao focused his attention on the storyteller on the side.
"Young Master Qiyu, I don't dare to say it, the little old man's surname is Yang, and he is a member of Longshan City, Greedy Wolf County. When Yang Chuangdu was about to die of embarrassment, he finally waited for Li Tao to ask him, and hurriedly replied.
"Oh, you mean books?"
"Young Master Qiyu, yes, the little old man has been doing this for nearly forty years. ”
"Oh, after working for so long, then speaking of which, you should also be an old Jianghu, so what kind of books are you best at?"
"Ugh. ”
As soon as Li Tao asked this question, Yang Chuang was stunned for a moment, looking at the expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"What's wrong?" Li Tao looked at Yang Chuang suspiciously, and the hand holding the chopsticks stopped, "Is there any problem?" ”
"This, this. Yang Chuang's eyes glanced at the dinner table twice before he gritted his teeth and continued, "I'm good at telling stories like perverted murderers. ”
"Hmm, what is it?" Li Tao was a little puzzled, and after asking suspiciously, he picked up a piece of his favorite garlic white meat, put it in his mouth, and waited for his answer.
Well, this Lijiazhuang's garlic white meat is not just what, it's really fragrant, I like it the most, maybe this is the "authentic" "Lizhuang white meat", Li Tao chewed the food in his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, but he didn't expect it at all, it was his seemingly random question that made him have nothing to do with this dish from now on.
"It's the story of the kind of perverted murderer who kills someone and then eats the corpse. ”
"Poof!" This sentence was really a bit unexpected, Li Tao not only disappeared with a smile on his face, but even squirted out the food in his mouth in shock.
"Ahem, apart from this?" Li Tao was choked and coughed several times before he eased up a little and asked in a tone of disbelief.
"I'll order the rest, but it's not very porcelain, and it's really bad. Yang Chuang, who is sixty years old, was so anxious that he buttoned his head, "For this kind of adulterous life, I am the most porcelain, and the best story told is called 'garlic and white meat'." ”
"Whoa!"
When Li Tao heard Yang Chuang's words, he immediately closed his eyes, threw the chopsticks on the table, pushed the bowl, and his face became gloomy.
When he saw me eating garlic and white meat, he said that the name of the best human homicide he told was 'garlic white meat', which was because he was afraid that he would not die of disgust.
"Young master, I didn't expect him either..."Li Wenqing was also taken aback, he only thought about digging people, and he didn't understand what people were mainly talking about.
"Well, you don't have to say it. Li Tao waved his hand to interrupt Li Wenqing's words, wanting to calm down, but when he thought of the garlic and white meat he had just eaten, his stomach felt nauseous and very uncomfortable.
Li Wenqing saw that Li Tao's face suddenly collapsed, and he was very unsightly, so he hurriedly gestured to Yang Chuang and told him to leave quickly.
Yang Chuang was also a little embarrassed, put the things on the dragon book case into his arms, walked quickly to the door, and just opened the door, he happened to bump into the young man who came over.
Yang Chuang touched his head, quickly cleaned up the ground, and went out with a smile.
The young man rubbed his aching chest, glanced at Yang Chuang, walked to Mei Youqian's side, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Mei Youqian is really a chicken thief, and the two of them did this together.
But in fact, Li Wenqing is the only one who is contributing money and efforts, and Mei Youqian has been in charge of the paperwork and records, but he guessed that this matter was not very reliable and did not want to get involved in this cause and effect.
Since seeing Li Tao downstairs, Mei Youqian has maintained a state of "watching the battle" on the edge, without saying a word, trying to minimize his sense of existence.
Originally, when he heard Li Tao's statement just now, he thought that this thing could be done, which was a bit incredible, and almost broke his "silence" state.
But fortunately he held back, and what happened next was so sudden that the scene changed subtly almost instantly, and it became very unpleasant.
Sensing that things were starting to be wrong, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to leave. Just then, the young man brought him news that his two sworn brothers had come to cheer him on.
Mei Youqian nodded at the young man, motioned him to wait, then stood up and said to Li Tao that his sworn brothers were here, could he go to receive him first.
Li Tao was in a bad mood at this time, and he didn't want to say anything else, so he waved his hand directly and signaled him to leave.
Mei Youqian confessed, and as soon as he walked out of the door with the young man, Li Tao suddenly stopped him and asked him to quickly arrange someone to remove the banquet.
Mei Youqian got the order, closed the door, and walked downstairs quickly.
Li Tao looked at the dishes in front of him, especially the plate of garlic and white meat, he was also upset, so he simply got up and walked to the window, watching the young man downstairs give money to the onlookers.
