The little girl understood the truth, stretched out a finger to shave her face, and said in a milky voice: "Shame, shame, shame! You are a fake foreign devil. You are so embarrassed. You laugh sometimes, cry sometimes, and fire cannons with your eyes. Shame, shame!"
Chen Xiangfang used her power again, spat lightly, and made Li Guolou completely surrender. This mother and daughter were people he could not afford to offend.
Li Guolou sat down and felt that Huang Qiying and others looked at him differently, especially Chen Rou who suddenly became very enthusiastic about him and began to ask about his family life.
This made Li Guolou look a little embarrassed, and he was a little hesitant in speaking. He refused to disclose the situation at home. This kind of thing is not easy to talk about. In fact, everyone is not familiar with it. He was just talking about the situation. "This... that..."
····" Li Guolou kicked the butt several times and asked his eldest brother to help him out.
The bastard was clever and laughed loudly and said: "Sister Chen, the food you cook is really great! It's exquisite and delicious. It's the best food I've ever eaten. Since you have such good skills, why do you cook it?"
As for Bao Zhilin, just open a restaurant and I promise to help you bring in five tables of customers every day. Making money from rich people in the capital is the right way. Isn't that right, you fake foreign devil."
Wang Wu also came to Li Guolou's rescue and said: "Master Huang, I am a martial artist and I don't tell lies. It's really good. If you open a restaurant and I treat guests at home, I'll treat you here. I'm not bragging. I'll at least let you have one."
The monthly rent is settled.”
Na Bazi smiled and said: "Master Huang, I have also thought of a name for you. It is called Baozhifang. It specializes in making royal private dishes. The price is mid-to-high-end, so that people with a little money can afford it. Baozhilin
Just leave it to your apprentice to take care of it."
Chen Rou was excited after hearing this and looked at her husband Huang Qiying eagerly. They discussed it several times, but some difficulties could not be solved, so they opened a "Baozhilin" in the capital. In fact, "Baozhilin" was their stepping stone.
, first take root, gain a good reputation, and then plan for the future.
Huang Qiying let out a long sigh and said: "To be honest with you three, we are also very confident in the food we cook, but you have also seen that when cooking this kind of private food, we must pay attention to the utensils, cups and dishes, and the appearance. We must pay attention to a table.
We can afford it. We can’t do anything with a dozen, twenty or thirty tables.
Besides, when I open a martial arts school, the Qing Gang and the Ax Gang will receive a gift, so they won’t come to cause trouble in the future. If I open a restaurant, they will work hard to get the monthly payment. If I don’t choose the right place, maybe two
The big sect directly goes shopping in my store, am I not asking for the consequences?"
Chen Rou has already seen that the three "ruining" friends respect Nabazi, and Li Guolou is actually a "gun" and is being played by Nabazi.
Chen Rou said softly: "That Bazi, my little aunt has a hard life. Her husband has been dead for more than a year. Her craftsmanship is very good. It's a pity that she is a woman. Otherwise, she would have become a famous chef long ago. It's a pity that she was born among the people.
No one knows."
Li Guolou thought that Chen Rou didn't ask about his family affairs, and people at the table were talking about opening a restaurant, so he had no taboos and just ate the food. But he didn't dare to look at Chen Xiangfang. He also had a secret that no one knew, the little widow.
It's even more unprovoked.
That bastard man suddenly understood why Chen Xiangfang only winked at Li Guolou. It turned out that Chen Xiangfang liked pretty boys. I was afraid that this matter was going to be scandalous. Li Guolou claimed to be noble and had never seen any fake foreign devils enter.
Brothel. Li Guolou was raped by his sister-in-law
After my mother got rid of her, she just wanted to vent her anger with her fists and cause trouble everywhere, but it was him who stepped in to smooth things over. Now he has long become a bridge between the "fake foreign devils" in the capital and the Yamen, the "Jinluan Bridge" across the sea,
That is to say, a person like him.
Na Basi calculated in his mind that he had some money and deposited it in a foreign bank to earn interest. This was recommended to him by the fake foreign devil. He also specifically found a century-old European trading firm, the "West India Trading Company", to deposit money. Li Guolou told him to save money.
It is safer to live in this trading house than at home, because this trading house is a branch of the West India Company. This company underwrote all the imported opium in the Qing Dynasty. Although the Chinese people were very concerned about the opium invasion.
He hated it to the core, but if he really planned his own pocket, he still had to find the most powerful bank to save money. Li Guolou also told him that he should never save money in a bank opened by Chinese people. Those banks were run by families.
As long as there is a moth or a prodigal in it, all the money you put in will be wasted. Don't count the money and let you eat a few mouthfuls of meat at first, and then swallow your meat and bones together.
Na Bazi still believes in Li Guolou's vision. He is a fake foreign devil and a man of high culture. Now he is walking next to Li Guolou and Wang Xiaocui, the two big trees where he rests in the shade. With these two people there,
Nabazi believes him
To live a good life, relying on the connections in the yamen is by no means a long-term solution. There are so many Manchus who can fix their mouths, and some of them have backers. And with Li Guolou and Wang Xiaocui as his younger brother, the capital has only
He is the only one.
Now Huang Qiying and Chen Rou throw a hydrangea, and there is another secret hidden in it. Only he can hear it. They are asking him for help. It depends on whether he has the ability to catch it?
Na BaZi finally calculated clearly that if his money is kept in a business, he will never make a fortune. Today, he has had this banquet, which has the exquisiteness of southern cuisine and the delicacy of the imperial dining room in the palace. Dishes must be introduced with the new.
It’s really a full banquet of Manchu and Han Dynasties, and it’s so boring to eat. The dishes made by Chen Xiangfang and Chen Rou are amazing. They will definitely become famous in the capital. With his magic conch blowing, the signature of "Baozhifang" can be ranked among the four major restaurants.
among.
The man's face was solemn, he tapped the table with one finger, and said: "Master Huang, I'm not telling you, why do you need friends? There is a man here who spends his money on water floats. Next year, he will spend thousands of taels of silver to buy one.
Enke Jinshi. Li Guolou! Big brother wants to wake you up by scolding you. The last Enke Jinshi in the capital has not yet
Is there a real shortage? My elder brother advises you not to think about buying a real shortage, but to be a down-to-earth official first. Only with practical experience in officialdom can others dare to use you. You said that you are now poor and have nothing, but you want to reach the sky in one step. Ask yourself,
Is there such a thing in the world? What little wealth your Li family has has left you alone."
Li Guolou drank too much wine, his forehead flushed, and he shouted: "Brother, you just said this now, what do you mean? I have put all my heart on Enke Jinshi."
Na Bazi shouted: "Third brother, you have to believe me. Don't even think about rising to the top in one fell swoop. You are not a relative of the emperor. My eldest brother will find you a position as an official. You start by doing it, and then you can use money to pave the way. It will be very easy to get promoted."
Fast
.As for the thousand taels of silver, don’t hide it in your pocket. The three of us brothers are jointly engaged in a business. Whether it’s the business of the Wang Wu family or a business with those fake foreigners, we can have a good time in the capital.
The water rises."
Li Guolou replied: "Brother, I don't like doing business. I make small calculations all day long, which makes me tired. If I wanted to do business, I would have stopped working in the capital. It's not like you don't know this."
Chen Rou winked hard at Chen Xiangfang, wanting Chen Xiangfang to kill her. She knew that her aunt had a unique feminine charm, and no man could resist the charm of the little widow.
Chen Xiangfang hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage and shouted: "Li Guolou, you are just a prodigal son. You don't feel bad for selling your father's land. Big brother has good words for you, please listen to me."
Li Guolou caught Chen Xiangfang's eyes and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say a word anymore. He couldn't stand Chen Xiangfang's provocation. And he never listened to his eldest brother's words. At this point in his life, he had already been
Na Bazi led him by the nose and left.
For Zhang Tieniu, the fat cow, he was extremely unlucky today. He lost a crucial battle in his life. Chen Xiangfang, who usually had a good attitude toward him, didn't even look at him seriously when Li Guolou entered. It was so obvious.
Women chase men, is there no good man in Bao Zhilin?
The four apprentices had already seen that Master Huang Qiying was very fond of Li Guolou, and they were chatting with great interest until now. They actually asked his wife Chen Rou to inquire about Li Guolou's family affairs, and they obviously wanted to be related to Li Guolou. How can there be such a thing in the world?
A cheap thing? Li Guolou refused to fall into the trap. Although the young man was thin-skinned, he was by no means a person who would forget his loyalty to others.
When Nabasi heard what Li Guolou said to him, he said "Okay"! He knew that Li Guolou had surrendered and admitted defeat. He had already figured out Li Guolou's temper. As long as he said yes, he would not change it. He was a "
Donkey".
Na Ba Zi wanted to beat up the drowned donkey, but the conversation changed and Linglong fell into the trap. Li Guolou had no regrets and followed Na Ba Zi riding the donkey all the way to the dark side.
The man stood up and said, "Come, let's drink to the everlasting friendship. Third brother, you bitch, you bitch, stand up and don't embarrass us men."
Li Guolou was kicked by Na Bazi, and he could only stand up and sullenly talk to everyone. The bamboo leaf green was like a fire, burning in his throat, and his whole body began to feel hot. With a surge of hot blood, he gritted his teeth and drank two more cups of bamboo leaf green.
In the stomach. He is not drunk, he is just drunk. Anyone who has drunk will have this feeling. Drink some tea, chat for a while, and let the excitement pass. It’s just that the people next to him look ugly.
Pig Head sat next to him.
Lingling gnawed on the chicken leg and stared at Li Guolou. Now everyone at the table was looking at him. His image was special, making people want to drink three glasses with Li Guolou again. Although she knew it was unkind, she still
Isn’t it important to watch people make fools of themselves at banquets?
Fat Niu stood up and wanted to toast Li Guolou with wine, but was blocked by Na Ba Zi. Na Ba Zi said seriously: "Fat Niu, don't open your eyes like an enemy. Maybe we will all be relatives in the future. Fake foreign devils are no longer good.
Now, let him rest for a while, and I'll drink with you. We've met before, right, where were we?"
