Chapter 49: It's No Longer Simple

These days, Li Wuchang is very busy.

On the one hand, it is necessary to prepare restaurants and clothing stores.

On the other hand, Li Wuchang often had to go to Zheng's mansion to help Mrs. Zheng treat her illness, tell her jokes, play mahjong with her, and give her acupuncture decoction.

Seeing the old lady's body harden day by day, the Zheng family's father and son were grateful, and in addition to Li Wuchang's medical fees, they even sent heavy gifts to the Li Mansion.

This is an unexpected joy for Li Lingwu, he has little contact with Zheng Heng on weekdays, but now because of Li Wuchang's relationship, Zheng Heng actually came to thank him in person, and said that he had just joined the Ministry of Rites and asked Li Lingwu to give him more advice, which was undoubtedly a good signal.

Although Li Lingwu remained silent, he was secretly happy in his heart, secretly thinking that his fourth son Li Wuchang would quietly bring Li Fu an ally with such great potential.

Under such circumstances, Li Lingwu unprecedentedly pulled Li Wuchang to encourage him, which made Li Wuchang inexplicable, and even made the eldest lady Zhang inexplicably panicked.

On the fourth day of February, Li Wuchang's long-awaited restaurant opened.

The scene was very grand, Li Wuchang made enough gimmicks, pulled all the celebrities he knew, and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Two of the five sons of Chang'an came, Li Wufeng and Guo Yunlei.

There are also Zhou Chengwang, Zheng Wenlong, Han Dade and other famous sons and daughters in Chang'an City.

In addition, there are also foreign sons, such as Zhu Changxing, the young gang leader of the Hanshui Gang, and Su Ming, the son of the Su family in Jiangnan.

That's not all, Guo Yunling's little girl knew that Li Wuchang was going to open a restaurant, and she actually called Lin Qin and Lu Ting over to support the scene, which caused a sensation.

The biggest sensation was that His Royal Highness Lu Xuandong came in person and led Lin Zheng to congratulate Li Wuchang, which Li Wuchang never expected.

The name of the restaurant is Dongli Restaurant, which is taken from "picking chrysanthemums under the East Fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan", which is full of poetry.

The guys inside are very professional and enthusiastic, and they are all briefly trained.

There are two types of private rooms in the restaurant.

A kind of specially provided to scholars and Confucian scholars, which is elegant in style, and the walls are full of all kinds of poems, of course, Li Wuchang's "cousin" masterpiece, which are all very classic poems, which attracted a group of Confucian scholars to change the past and splendor the case, and took the hand of the shopkeeper to see the author.

The shopkeeper naturally told them that the author had passed away, and attracted endless emotion, exclaiming that the sky was jealous of the talent, the shopkeeper took the opportunity to tell them that they must come often, although those authors died, but left a lot of poems, the East Fence Restaurant will gradually take out, hang on the wall of the private room for you to watch, and cause these scholars and Confucian infinite expectations, patting their chests and saying that they must come often.

The other kind of private room is more ordinary, but it is also quite extraordinary, the layout is quite exquisite, it is the first choice for friends to gather and chat, and the more heroic friends also like to patronize, sometimes you will hear all kinds of wine orders when you walk into the private room, which are taught by the guys.

The liquor order is very vulgar and childish, but it is very popular with the people in the rivers and lakes, and according to the guys, it was invented by the hotel owner.

Like what, who's lewd ^ I'm lewd ^ who's lewd ^ who's lewd ^ who's lewd ^ who's lewd ^ who's lewd

Otherwise, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, they will kill you with one knife, and they will kill me with one knife.

Also, walk here and there, just looking for flowers and willows, walking here and there, and drinking golden bottle wine.

There are even more childish ones, that is, counting the legs of a toad, a toad with a mouth, two eyes and four legs.

It is common to see a few drunken men counting toad legs in their mouths and laughing uncontrollably.

In addition to the private rooms, the hall is also very good, there is a special one for performances, sometimes juggling, sometimes singing and dancing.

There is also an old gentleman who tells a story, about a fairy story, called the legend of the white snake, the story is very good, the old gentleman's eloquence is also very good, told vividly, immersive, particularly hooking, every night will say for a while, about the end of the meal after the end of the time, and then will be followed by a sentence to predict how the future will happen and listen to the next decomposition, often at this time will cause a wail, but the old gentleman will not return, lightly say a word I want to hear tomorrow night to continue.

In addition to these characteristics, the food in Dongli Restaurant is very delicious, and the dishes are all unseen in other restaurants.

Dayan's dishes are very monotonous and tasteless, Li Wuchang pondered a lot of dishes, and taught the professional chefs hired by the restaurant, and the chefs have recipes and their own experience, so the fried dishes are better than other restaurants.

I remember when it opened, Li Wuchang's fox friends and dog friends were all full of oil, saying that the cooks in their families could die, and even more, they wanted to hire a chef in a restaurant at a high price, but they were scolded by Li Wuchang before giving up.

There is also a kind of wine in the restaurant, called Erguotou, which is very popular, and it became famous within a few days, and was promoted as the best wine, but the price is a little expensive, but it still can't stop people's enthusiasm.

This kind of liquor called Erguotou is not only mellow, but also very domineering, and more importantly, it is not as turbid as other wines, it is particularly clear, it looks like clear water, and it tastes particularly good.

Of course, this is what Li Wuchang figured out, bought a workshop, and experimented many times before he came out, as soon as he got it, Jiang Minglun's guy went crazy, holding a jar and refusing to let go, saying that he had drunk not wine at all before, and Li Wuchang smiled bitterly, good guy, he drank so much without diluted alcohol, Jiang Minglun is also a talent.

Dongli Restaurant is so distinctive that it attracts a large number of customers, and after visiting once, it becomes a repeat customer.

In addition, Li Wuchang has launched various preferential activities.

For example, ten taels will be reduced by one tael, two pots will buy three and get one free, and a list will be sent to you if you spend more than 20 taels, and you can discount three taels of silver next time with the list.

There are also a variety of value-for-money packages that will dazzle you.

It gives people the feeling that if you don't consume more, you will lose money.

Therefore, the business of Dongli Restaurant is so hot that it can be said that it is making money every day.

Li Wuchang's methods are breathtaking, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun gave a thumbs up, and said that Li Wuchang is simply a genius in business.

The Guo brothers and sisters looked at Li Wuchang curiously for a long time, feeling that their father Guo Hongyi was not as powerful as Li Wuchang.

After Li Lingwu received the news, he also came with Li Hu, Li Qing, and Li Zhongyue, saying that they were joining in the fun, but the four of them were all attracted by the second pot, and shouted that the shopkeeper said that they wanted more than a dozen jars to go home.

The old shopkeeper knew Li Lingwu's identity, and he didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't dare to agree, saying that this wine was in short supply, and if more than a dozen jars were moved, the restaurant would not be supplied tomorrow, and the guests would curse.

The restaurant has a set of regulations, and no one is allowed to violate the regulations, and the old shopkeeper has a good salary, of course, he does not dare to violate it.

A request like Li Lingwu to move wine is against the charter.

"Your owner is my nephew, you can move if you are asked to move, what are you talking about?" Li Hu is very arrogant, he likes domineering wine, and wants to move some back, but he is rejected by the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper was about to cry, and said: "Of course the little old man knows the identity of several distinguished guests, but without the owner to speak, the little old man is not daring to agree, the owner said, there are no rules, this is what he ordered five times, you can pity the poor little old man, do you want to let the little old man go to ask the owner?"

Then he glanced at the young man who happened to come to serve the food, although the young man didn't know Li Lingwu and others, but he was very clever, and when he saw the old shopkeeper's helpless face, he judged that these guests might be looking for trouble, so he went out immediately.

Hmph, if you dare to find trouble, I'll go and tell the owner, the owner just came today, and the guy hates to think about it.

Li Lingwu looked at the old shopkeeper, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that this kid of impermanence has a way of cleaning up people's hearts." ”

Li Hu and the others also smiled and continued to drink.

"The owner, it's this private room, and a few people seem to be embarrassed by the shopkeeper Chen. "Dude's voice.

"I want to see, who dares to come to my Li Er's stunned place to spread wild, grandma is a bear, see if I don't let him chicken feathers and duck blood. Then came Li Wuchang's voice.

"Stunned, such a trivial matter will be handed over to me and Brother Xun, what is it worth when you take action in person, you still have to prepare for our clothing store, please what...... That's right, models, right? Another voice.

Li Wuchang, Zhao Xun, and Jiang Minglun came to Li Lingwu's private room under the leadership of the guys, and they were supposed to teach a good lesson to the people who came to make trouble, but when they saw that it was Li Lingwu and the others, they were immediately stunned, changed their expressions, and said respectfully: "Father, three uncles, why are you here?"

It was the first time that Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun saw Li Lingwu and the others, and when they heard Li Wuchang's voice, they hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Good to the commander, good to the three adults." ”

The guy was frightened, and quickly bowed his head, not daring to speak.

Li Lingwu smiled: "What's the matter, we are not welcome to come?"

Li Wuchang sat down, poured wine for several elders very doggedly, and said with a smile: "How can it, it's too late for me to be happy...... Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, these two are my good friends, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun, they are protecting me these days to prevent another Khitan spy from assassinating me. ”

Several people were stunned, and they said in their hearts that these two should be Li Wuchang's helpers.

Li Hu's eyes lit up, and he said, "The two little brothers are good, I don't know how the two became friends with the little nephew?"

Zhao Xun replied: "Back to Lord Li, the younger two are both natives of Chang'an City, and they have both been stunned...... The favor of the fourth son, so he has been following him to do things, as for his skills, it is just average, neither of us has reached the seventh grade, and we can't get into the eyes of the commander and several adults. ”

Li Lingwu and the four of them sighed secretly in their hearts, Li Wuchang, this kid is really not simple, he actually accepted such talents, and listening to the tone of their voices, the relationship is really iron.

If you don't reach the seventh grade, that's the sixth grade.

Such a young Liupin is not much different from Li Wufeng.

Li Wuchang snorted and said, "Why does Uncle Hu like to ask other people's kung fu so much, I want to ask, what does my father and uncle want to do, it makes my old shopkeeper tremble, did he make you angry?"

Li Hu said to the right thing, and said: "I want to move more than a dozen jars of this second pot head home and taste it slowly, who knows that the shopkeeper of your family is dead or alive, and he is stunned to talk to you." ”

Li Wuchang suddenly realized: "Oh, Uncle Protector is not strange, this is all my negligence. ”

Then he said to the old shopkeeper: "Old Chen, go and arrange for the guys to go to our brewing workshop to move twenty jars of two pots to the Li Mansion, and then instruct the guys in the workshop to hurry up, the old rules, the salary is doubled, and in addition, you go to the account to receive ten taels of silver bonus." ”

Shopkeeper Chen arched his hand and went down with his buddy.

Li Zhongyue said with a smile: "You have a way of buying people's hearts. ”

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said: "Misunderstanding, I won't buy people's hearts at all, it's just that the rewards and punishments are clear, this is called rules, and it is also called discipline." ”

Li Qing got up and looked at the poems on the wall, and sighed: "Impermanence, I heard that these poems were written by your cousin, how did I not know that our Li family still has such relatives?"

Li Wuchang smiled awkwardly and said, "Three thousand miles in one table, who knows...... It doesn't matter whose cousin he is, it's good to be able to hang here and make money. ”

Li Hu smiled: "You say the same, be careful of those Confucian scholars looking for you to work hard and make money with poems, hehe." ”

After a while, he said, "Are you short of money?"

Li Wuchang said: "I'm not short of money, I'm just afraid that someone will send killers to assassinate me again, and I don't know martial arts, so make more money, if someone sends someone to assassinate me again, if I can get away with it, I will spend a lot of money to ask a few top killers to stab me back." ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "I have heard a lot of rumors in the rivers and lakes recently, saying that there is a killer organization, and you can hire a top killer for 50,000 taels, saying that there are eight grades of martial arts...... Isn't that so, Uncle Protector?"

Li Wuchang's tone seemed to be a joke, but Li Lingwu and the others frowned when they heard it, feeling the ruthlessness and decisiveness in Li Wuchang's words.

"Haha, I'm kidding...... By the way, father, I still have to go to the private room next door to explain the meaning of the poems on the wall, you see?" Li Wuchang smiled and asked Li Lingwu.

Li Lingwu snorted and waved his hand, letting Li Wuchang take care of himself.

Li Wuchang took Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun out of the private room, and ordered a guy to go to the private room to greet him.

Li Qing looked at Li Wuchang's back, looked at Li Lingwu, sighed, and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid that your son is getting more and more difficult, and I can't see through it at all now." ”

Li Hu nodded approvingly.

Li Zhongyue took a pair of chopsticks of meat, put it in his mouth, shook his head and said, "This is called plum cabbage button meat, right, take a few bowls home and eat later...... Hey, what kind of eyes are you looking at, didn't you eat with relish just now, especially big brother, you never ate pork before. ”

After a pause: "And Brother Hu, you just dominated the plate of fried foie gras, and you didn't let others move, and you were embarrassed to laugh at me." ”

Li Hu rolled his eyes.

Li Lingwu also smiled helplessly.

Cure?

Poetry?

Calling the Three Princes?

Blackmail the Zhang family?

Looking for two six-grade masters as helpers?

Open a restaurant?

Gathering people's hearts is very set?

Two pot heads?

Inventing a new dish?

I heard that he is also planning to open a tailor's shop?

Not to mention Li Qing, Li Lingwu can't see through his son Li Wuchang at all now.
