Chapter 21 The Young Master Was Played
Li Yu smiled at the old man and said, "Why do you, old man, have to be so polite to me?"
The old man then said, "Look at this little brother, he is a rare character. I'm afraid our small temple can't accommodate it! As the saying goes, it doesn't mean that one family doesn't want to enter the same house. Miss, don't forget it!" After that,
The old man went back to the stove to do his work.
Li Yu suddenly heard the old man's words, and the smile on her face gradually stiffened. She glanced at Yu Ren, who was sitting side by side with her. That look was no longer as tender as before.
Infinite, but actually more melancholy.
Yu Ren was also a little confused by the old man's sudden words. He didn't know what the relationship between the stall owner and Li Yu and the others was. He sounded very familiar, and it wasn't just the relationship between the store and the customers. But he couldn't ask, so he had to
Pay attention secretly.
As soon as the old man brought the three bowls of chaos, he saw two more people coming into the stall. Yu Ren heard the footsteps behind him and turned around to look. It turned out to be Li Xianzhong and Li Liu who had just been dumped in Qiankun Garden.
As soon as Li Xianzhong entered the shop, he sat down on a small table next to Yu Ren and the others. Then he suddenly turned around and pretended to have just discovered it and said to Li Yu: "Ah! What a coincidence! I didn't expect that Qiankunyuan had just broken up.
, we met here again. It’s fate, it’s really fate.”
After Li Xianzhong said this shamelessly, before Li Yu and the other three could reply, the stall owner on the side spoke first.
"It's fate. According to me, it's true. It's not enough for a toad to want to eat swan meat!"
Ying'er laughed when she heard this. "Uncle is indeed a hero who thinks alike."
When Li Xianzhong saw that the stall owner was also rude to him, he wanted to show off his power, but he turned around and saw Li Yuzheng looking at him warily, which obviously meant to say, don't mess around! When Li Xianzhong saw Li Yu's eyes, he immediately changed his mind.
He came up with an idea. He took out a piece of five taels of silver from his pocket, put it on the table, and said to the stall owner: "Two bowls of Chaos, no need to look for them."
This is Li Xianzhong's usual method. He is a smart man, and he has already understood the meaning of Li Yu's glance just now. Since Li Yu doesn't like his tough methods, he will use another killer move. Of course,
This is a "sugar-coated bullet". Every time he used this trick in the past, it was always on some big shots. This was the first time he used it on a hawker. If it weren't for Li Yu's relationship, he wouldn't even bother to deal with such a person.
say.
Although Li Xianzhong gave the stall owner a lot of face, he didn't expect that the old man was very disrespectful to Li Xianzhong. He didn't even look at the money and said directly: "Chaos is sold out."
Li Xianzhong suffered this anger for nothing, but because of Li Yu's dignity, he couldn't get angry, so he stood up and left. But after he stood up and took a look at Li Yu, he changed his mind. In his eyes, Li Yu
It was like a treasure in the world, how could he leave it behind and walk away! However, he had already stood up and was embarrassed not to leave. While Li Xianzhong was hesitating there, Ying'er smiled.
stood up.
"Master Li, do you want to eat chaos? I'll give you the two bowls here! Five taels of silver a bowl."
When Li Xianzhong heard this, he was very happy. He hurriedly sent the silver on the table to the little girl Ying'er, and then took out another five taels to make up for it.
"Thank you girl!"
Ying'er took the money with a smile and placed two bowls of chaos in front of Li Xianzhong's table. She said, "I didn't expect that a person like Mr. Li could change his character and condescend to come to such a small place. It's really rare.
Our young lady likes those who are considerate of the people the most, and despises those evil people who use their power to bully others. Mr. Li can correct his mistakes and do good, but it is not easy. It is rare, it is rare!"
After Ying'er said these words, she returned to her table and said to Li Yu: "Miss, didn't you say you wanted to eat Zhao Ji's glutinous rice balls? I'll go buy them for you right away. I thought they would come here now
The house should not be closed yet."
Li Xianzhong on the side suddenly received this compliment from Ying'er and couldn't help but feel elated. This was something he had never done before. He had been pestering Li Yu since he last met in Hangzhou. The master and servant were more fierce than the other.
I have never given him a good look, but this is the first time that a big girl has got on the sedan chair.
In his heart, this was a good thing that was rarer than auspiciousness from heaven. Li Xianzhong believed that this was Li Yu's indirect show of goodwill to him through the maid. Now, when he heard Ying'er say that he wanted to buy glutinous rice balls,
Li Xianzhong stood up quickly. He was determined to seize this rare opportunity and improve his impression in Li Yu's heart. "There is no need for a labor girl to do such a small thing. I will just let Li Liu handle it." He said.
Then he waved to Li Liuyi.
Ying'er deliberately glanced at Li Liu, sighed and said: "Forget it! That Zhao family lady is timid. With his fierce look and the knife on his back, I'm afraid that people haven't seen him come in yet.
, I was scared away. I’d better go by myself!”
Li Xianzhong wanted to show off. When he heard this, he hurriedly stopped him: "The girl is right. In this case, I will buy it myself." After saying that, without waiting for Ying'er's consent, he took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Li Liu.
, and went out like flying.
Li Liu held the young master's sword and didn't know whether to follow or not. He could only shout from behind: "Master, young master, what should I do?"
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Li Xianzhong hurried away.
As soon as Ying'er waited for Li Xianzhong to go out, she immediately waved to the stall owner's daughter quietly, and then whispered something to her. After hearing what Ying'er said, the stall owner's daughter immediately put down what she was doing and walked quietly from behind.
.
Li Xianzhong came out of the stall and then remembered that he had forgotten to ask Ying'er where the Zhaoji glutinous rice balls were.
Fortunately, the street was not too long, so Li Xianzhong decided not to go back and ask. He was afraid that Ying'er would say that he couldn't handle such a small thing! He thought to himself, with such a long street, I can only find it one by one!
After searching for a long time, Li Xianzhong finally found a small stall at the corner of the street. Sure enough, there was a small flag with the words "Zhao Ji Tangyuan" hanging in front of the shop. When Li Xianzhong saw this signboard flag, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Quickly step into the shop.
At this time, the stalls had already begun to be closed in the shop, and a woman had her back to the door. When she heard Li Xianzhong walking in, she said without looking back: "Your Majesty, go elsewhere! We have already closed the stalls."
Li Xianzhong didn't go out. This was the first time he had done something for Li Yu. If he couldn't handle this little thing well, then he wouldn't let that little girl Ying'er get the wrong idea! He wouldn't even want to have sex with Li Yu anymore.
One step further. Although the stall owner said that the stall was closed, Li Xianzhong believed that he had a way to make her make two bowls of glutinous rice balls for him.
Money can make all the difference! Just two bowls of glutinous rice balls! Li Xianzhong believed that such a trivial matter would not trouble him.
Li Xianzhong said to the stall owner who still had his back turned to him: "Forgive me, store owner. I have a friend who wants to eat your glutinous rice balls. I'll pay you five taels of silver and you can make me two bowls!"
When the stall owner heard that it was five taels of silver to buy two bowls of glutinous rice balls, he turned around. You know, at normal prices, these five taels of silver can buy more than a thousand bowls. Li Xianzhong saw the surprise on the stall owner's face
His expression was very satisfying.
But what surprised Li Xianzhong was that the stall owner just looked at him in surprise, and then turned back to do his own thing. Li Xianzhong was greatly hurt now. So without saying anything, he took out the money
He took out the bag, took out a piece of silver worth ten taels, slammed it on the table, and said loudly: "Ten taels."
The stall owner turned around and glanced at Li Xianzhong, then at the silver on the table, and then said calmly: "Sir, do you have to buy these two bowls of glutinous rice balls today?"
“Must buy it.”
"Seriously want to buy it?"
"I really want to buy it!" Li Xianzhong said firmly.
The stall owner looked at Li Xianzhong again, sighed, and said: "Forget it! I advise the guest officer not to buy it. These two bowls of glutinous rice balls are too expensive, and you can't afford them."
When Li Xianzhong heard this, he was furious!
"What, are your two bowls of glutinous rice balls made of gold? There are some that I can't afford. Even if they are made of gold, I will definitely buy them today. You give me a price and see if I can afford them.
!”
Seeing that Li Xianzhong was determined to buy it, the stall owner turned around and said to him: "Although my two bowls of glutinous rice balls are not made of gold, they are still more expensive than gold. When people in our street do business, there is always a certain person.
The rule is, if a stall is closed, it must not be reopened. If it is reopened, it will no longer be allowed to operate on this street. If I make an exception for the young master today, then my future business will be
But there was nothing left to make. So I said my two bowls of glutinous rice balls were expensive. It’s not that I’m a mean person and I’m greedy.”
Li Xianzhong didn't expect that the stall owner didn't make glutinous rice balls for him for this reason, and most of his anger was relieved. But he had to buy these two bowls of glutinous rice balls tonight no matter what. So he asked the stall owner
He said: "Please ask the stall owner to set a price! How much money will you need to open this stall again?"
The stall owner raised his two fingers and said, "I can't open this stall without sixty taels."
Without thinking, Li Xianzhong emptied out all the money bags in his hand, which was exactly sixty taels. The stall owner stepped forward, counted the sixty taels of silver carefully, and then put them into the money bag one by one.
He said to Li Xianzhong: "Old man, please do it for a moment. I will open a stall to make glutinous rice balls for you."
Chapter completed!
