Lin Yu said again,

"I know this, but I still want to know from you."

Old man Zhang stopped his work and raised his head to ask,

"Then do you know the rules?"

"I know! Can I swipe my card?"

"Let's see how much your question is worth."

Lin Yu nodded, he picked up the paper and pen from the side, wrote a line on it and handed it to the other party.

Old man Zhang held paper in one hand and glasses in the other, and looked at it.

"20, bring the money over in three days."

"Well, okay! Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

He bowed slightly to show respect, but the other party didn't like this,

"Don't give me such nonsense, just call me old man Zhang, what kind of old man, as if I am so noble."

"Hey, you are a real person and you don't show your face. In Shencheng, there are probably only a handful of people with higher status than you."

"Don't give me lip service here, if you have nothing to do, hurry up and don't delay my business."

Although old man Zhang said so, he still had a faint smile on his face. He has been lonely for so many years, and it is impossible to say that he does not feel lonely.

It feels good to have a young man who is willing to talk to him now.

"By the way, have you been here all the time?"

Lin Yu asked suddenly.

Old man Zhang gave him a contemptuous look,

"It's not that I have no legs. If I nest here every day, I will suffocate to death."

"That's right, you are in such good health, you should go out more, uh... do you usually drink?"

"Now that I'm old, I drink less, that is, I taste a couple of sips from time to time."

Old man Zhang replied that when he said this, he smacked his lips twice, relishing the taste of the wine.

After hearing this, Lin Yu happily said,

"It's fine if you can drink it. When I come back next time, I'll bring two jars of good wine. Let's have a drink?"

Old man Zhang burst out laughing. He pointed at Lin Yu and said,

"What you think is so beautiful, kid. When I was young, how many people wanted to drink with me, but they didn't have that chance. Even the few people in the province had to take the initiative to ask me to toast, and you just said a word. Want to drink with me?"

Lin Yu was somewhat prepared for the old man's background, but he didn't expect it to be far beyond his imagination.

Like old man Zhang, someone of his age would definitely disdain to talk big.

In other words, old man Zhang was considered a man of the day in the entire Celestial Dynasty.

Lin Yu laughed and said,

"Just treat me as if I don't know Taishan, and I still dare to have a drink with you. Can you?"

Old man Zhang smiled,

"Okay, but I want to see what good wine you can bring. If it's just ordinary Moutai, Lafite, Remy Martin, etc., then forget it. I've drank too much of these wines and I'm tired."

Lin Yu was immediately dumbfounded. These are all famous wines in the world, can you get tired of drinking them?

He believed that the Moutai that old man Zhang mentioned was definitely not the lowest-grade one he sold in the Tang Dynasty.

This stumped him, and after saying goodbye, he left the lock repair shop.

Although he hit a wall, he was still in a very happy mood. The higher the old man's status, the more correct his choice would be.

Even if he is not that kind of ambitious person, he will definitely not work with Zhang Cheng.

Since ancient times, the boss eats meat and the younger brother eats soup. He doesn't want to become the younger brother, someone else's eagle dog.

Therefore, if you want to climb up, you must have a sufficient backing.

On the white way, there must be a senior official covering him, and on the underworld, there must be a respected person who promotes him.

Old man Zhang has no intention of being the best candidate for this person.

He drove halfway, went to a three-star hotel and bought several cooked Australian lobsters, each nine inches long.

I bought two more king crabs with tongs, and they were indeed comparable to the ancient copper basins used for washing.

Back at the company, he greeted Lan Ying, excused that there was a banquet tonight, and then immediately returned to Tang Dynasty with his things.When Cheng Chumo saw the big Australian lobster and king crab, he was so excited that he almost hugged Lin Yu's thigh and called him father. To him, Lin Yu was simply a reborn parent.

Chapter 197, who loves whose grandson

The business of the Yellow Crane Tower has always been very hot. There is no empty seat from morning to night, and there is even a phenomenon that it is difficult to find one.

At the end of the day, at least 5 taels of silver came into the account, but the owners of restaurants and restaurants in the surrounding area were so envious.

Lin Yudao hadn't sat in the Yellow Crane Tower for a while, when several hotel shopkeepers came to him with large and small gifts.

It probably meant that he wanted a piece of the pie, but how could Lin Yu agree?

If this kind of lucrative business is done by someone else, how will he earn money?

So he sternly refused, and no matter how earnestly the shopkeepers pleaded, he did not move at all.

There was nothing good to say, and someone lowered the price of food in their own hotel, trying to fight a price war with Lin Yu.

However, the price of dishes in Yellow Crane Tower is much higher than that of other restaurants.

A table of eight signature dishes in an ordinary restaurant is only ten taels of silver, but a random plate of green shrimp here is 15 taels in Lin Yu.

But if you dare to come here to eat, you must be the richest and the most expensive. The rich eat to enjoy, while the poor eat to live.

Therefore, no matter how cheap you are, rich people should not eat or not. Not only did they not keep regular customers, but they also lost a lot of money.

Because the price of food suddenly dropped below the cost of making it, some people who were not usually well-off began to rush to buy it.

As a result, on the surface, those hotels seemed crowded, but in fact they were unable to make ends meet, and several stores were almost closed down by themselves.

Lin Yu didn't bother to care about those people, the money was only so small, if some people made a lot of money, others would definitely pick up some leftovers later.

He is not a good person, why should he take care of so many people.

The reputation of the Yellow Crane Tower in Chang'an City was unparalleled for a while, and many court officials came to taste it. Even Li Shimin had heard of it, but he couldn't go because of his status.

In the end, Lin Yu personally brought a set to the palace. After tasting it, Li Shimin admired it and asked Lin Yu what reward he wanted.

Lin Yu still asked for a piece of calligraphy by Li Shimin, and when the latter asked him what characters he wanted, Lin Yu suddenly looked sad,

"Your Majesty, the day when the Yellow Crane Tower opened was the time when Qin Shibo passed away. I originally wanted to invite him to come and taste it, but I never thought..."

Li Shimin was also moved by it. He understood that Qin Shubao's death was no accident. He knew that with Qin Shubao's character, he would never repay kindness with grievances.

But this time, Qin Shubao did something against Lin Yu's principles.

Perhaps it was because of guilt that he gave up his life, and Li Shimin also has a lot of responsibility for this.

Therefore, Li Shimin felt even more guilty towards Qin Shubao. Thinking of the good brothers who fought together in the past, and now exerting his last remaining energy for the stability of the country, he fastened the armrest of the dragon chair.

Lin Yu saw that Li Shimin's eyes were drooping, as if he was about to cry, so he said,

"That's why Cao Min dared to ask the emperor to write a poem to the Yellow Crane Tower to commemorate Qin Shibo's spirit in heaven."

"Poetry? Let's see!"

Li Shimin became interested. He knew that Lin Yu was talented, and he was looking forward to the poem he said.

Lin Yu brewed his emotions. He took a deep breath and looked at the sky at 45 degrees. Whether the poem is good or not depends on the second.

"People in the past - have gone by - the Yellow Crane, and here - there is nothing - the Yellow Crane Tower."

When this sentence was recited, there were tears in my voice, and my sentimental feelings were beyond words.

Li Shimin's heart was shocked, he seemed to see the valiant and heroic figure on the battlefield, a pair of gold-plated cooked double copper maces, a golden spear with a tiger's head, and a leopard horse under his crotch.

But the second half of the sentence exaggerates the desolate atmosphere even more, the Yellow Crane Tower is empty, this is not the Yellow Crane Tower, it is obvious that he is a loner.

The good brothers who fought together in the world back then, how many are left now?

The tears in Li Shimin's eyes could no longer be held back, falling drop by drop.

Lin Yu's eyes are also moist,

"Once the yellow crane is gone - it will never return, and the white clouds will be empty for thousands of years."

This sentence pushes the emotion of loneliness and sadness to the peak.

Li Shimin couldn't bear to think about it, he closed his eyes, but the appearance of the brothers who passed away would always come to his mind.

They were all good brothers who had a life-and-death acquaintance, each of them was just like Qin Shubao.But the years were merciless, and those people left him one by one.

He was originally a lonely person, since he sat on the dragon chair, others knelt on the ground and shouted:

From the moment my emperor long live, long live, long live, he was doomed to be alone.

The yellow crane has gone, and the white clouds have passed for thousands of years.

"Qingchuan calendar - Hanyang tree,"

Lin Yu sang again, he shook his head slightly, with a trail of tears on his face,

"The grass is luxuriant - Parrot Island."

Li Shimin was tearing up at this moment, he had never lost his composure in front of anyone before, bleeding from his finger on the dragon chair, but he didn't stop.

All I can think of in my heart are the good brothers from the past.

How much he wanted to have a drink with those brothers and get drunk just like when he was in Wagang.

But it can't anymore, even if they are still there, they can't.

Because there is something invisible and intangible between them, but it can never be broken through - the ritual of the monarch and his ministers.

He hated, hated the throne, hated this title, which made him lose everything.

From the day he sat on the throne, he has never heard any jokes again. He said that the emperor thinks twice, and shut up my emperor's sage.

That's all those people seem to say.

Even when facing the woman they love, they don't know whether they love the glory and wealth, or their own person.

What if you lose everything and gain the country?

"Where is the Rimu Township Pass?"

"enough!"

Lin Yu was about to sing the last line when Li Shimin stopped him suddenly.

Looking at the latter now, he suddenly looks ten years older. He is no longer an overbearing king, but an ordinary old man who can no longer be ordinary.

Li Shimin lowered his head, tears pooled on the tip of his nose, wept softly, then loudly, crying freely, pouring out all the suppressed emotions in his heart for many years.

Lin Yu didn't finish the last sentence, but just stood there and looked at the sad old man.

After a long time, Li Shimin's tears dried up and his throat became hoarse. He looked at Lin Yu with red eyes,

"Lin Yu, are you convicted?"

Lin Yu raised her chest and raised her head, responding neither humble nor overbearing,

"Your Majesty, what is the crime of the grassroots?"

"You made me feel so sad that if you hurt the dragon's body, it is the crime of assassination."

"Ha ha"

Lin Yu raised his head and laughed, and then said,

"The emperor will really accuse grassroots people. Half a poem is an assassination. If I put a weapon at home, wouldn't it be hoarding weapons privately, do you have the intention of rebelling?"

Li Shimin looked at him silently, Lin Yu continued,

"Why do you want to commit a crime? I think you are a fool!"
