Back to the ancient restaurant

"Hey, I didn't believe it when others told me that this shop is indeed opened by your cousin."

Being able to call Li Zi'an's cousin, the visitor is naturally not a stranger.

Originally Li Zi'an came out with a smile on his face, but the smile on Li Ziqiang's face who was standing outside couldn't help but fade away.He grabbed the apron hanging on his body with his right hand and wiped the water off his hands.Li Zi'an pursed his lower lip, and let Li Ziqiang into the shop sideways.

Li Ziqiang entered the shop and strolled around with his hands behind his back, clicking his tongue.Looking back at Li Zi'an who was not far away, he said, "Zi'an is really not an ordinary person, he is just so courageous. He won't read this book if he doesn't want to read it, and he opened such a big shop without making a sound. .”

While speaking, Li Ziqiang walked to the table in front of Li Zian and sat down, sighed inexplicably, looked sideways at Li Zian with his cheek on his right hand, swayed his body and said: "Look It must cost a lot of money to decorate such a luxurious storefront, right? My fourth uncle is also true, looking at the ones that usually don’t look like mountains and dewy water, I didn’t expect the ones in my hands to be so promising.”

Asking Li's mother to help look at the cooking pot in the kitchen, Li Zian helped Li Ziqiang pour a glass of water and put it in front of him.Hearing that he brought the topic to his father, Li Zian said: "My father has been a cook in the town all his life, how can he have so much money to help me? Although this shop is opened in my name, the money is not I made it."

Hearing this, Li Ziqiang couldn't help but sneered.

"Also! You're really a cunning kid, and you won't tell the truth to your brothers. Can I still rob your shop?" After finishing speaking, seeing that Li Zi'an didn't respond, Li Ziqiang stuck his head to him In front of him, he smiled and said: "However, I just saw that your shop doesn't have many people. I guess you will lose sight of others when you are busy. Your sister-in-law and I have nothing to do at home, how about you come to help?"

"I also went to a private school for several years, and I'm the best at calculating accounts. It's not safe to hand over this kind of thing to outsiders, and it's not as reliable as my brothers."

Li Zian knew that there was nothing good about Li Ziqiang's coming, but he didn't expect him to have such an idea.Taking advantage of the time to drink water, Li Zian raised his eyes to look at Li Ziqiang who was looking forward to him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help revealing a hint of sarcasm.

He didn't even invite his own brother, so would he invite his cousin?Although it is true that Li Ziqiang has attended a private school for several years, he can see how much ink he has in his stomach at a glance.I don't know where he got the courage to brag about himself like this...

"Thank you cousin for your concern, but I already have enough staff in my shop, so I won't bother my cousin."

Hearing Li Zi'an's refusal, Li Ziqiang's eyes flashed with sullenness.Just as it was about to explode, Mama Li's cry came from the kitchen.Li Zi'an smiled and nodded to Li Ziqiang, got up and went to the kitchen.

Li Ziqiang looked at Li Zian's leaving back, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

A few days ago, he heard that his cousin opened a shop in front of the academy, but he still didn't believe it.After sneaking around for a few days, I finally confirmed it.I thought that with Sifang's weak and deceitful personality, I would never dare to refuse as long as I brought it up.Unexpectedly, Li Zian didn't give him any face.

Originally, he thought that the other party would be a scholar, and he might go further in the future, and there would always be something for him, so at that banquet, Li Zi'an didn't save him any face, so he accepted it.Now that Li Zi'an refuted his face again, how will he stand in front of his cousins ​​in the future?

Besides, no matter how this shop is opened, it costs 80 taels of silver. Sifang has been supporting Li Zian to study for so many years, so how could it be possible to accumulate so much silver in his hands.Maybe it was his grandfather who was eccentric and secretly left it to the fourth room before he died!

Li Ziqiang thought how could he sit still here, so he immediately stood up, poohed in the direction of the kitchen, and hurried home.

Keeping an eye on Li Zi'an outside, he didn't care when he saw Li Ziqiang leaving angrily.I took a spoonful of the soup with a spoon and tasted it, and found that the saltiness was just right, so I asked Mama Li to put the braised pork in the pot into a clay pot and put it in the hot water next to it to warm it.

……

When Li Ziqiang returned home, the third uncle of the Li family was lying on the bed and sleeping in the cage.He was woken up violently by Li Ziqiang, and before he could get angry, his son extinguished the anger with a word.

"Father, did our old man leave any property to Sifang before he died?"

Hearing what his son said, the third uncle of the Li family suddenly lost his sleepiness. He half propped himself up and asked with a puzzled expression: "What are you talking about? The things in the house were clearly separated long before your grandfather died. The old man has What can you know better than me?"

Seeing what his father said, Li Ziqiang walked to the side of the bed and sat down, and told Li Zian's third uncle about Li Zian's opening of the shop.

"Zian said that the shop was opened in his name, not his money, father, do you believe this?"

Hearing this, the third uncle of the Li family fell silent, obviously expressing doubts about the words.It's just that he knows Sifang's younger brother too well. From childhood to adulthood, he always followed his buttocks around, and he let him go east and never go west.Although I didn't get too close to him after I grew up and got married, I still didn't dare to refute my own words.With a personality like his fourth brother, if the old man left him some property that he didn't know before he died, how could he hide it from himself?

However, his fourth brother is not a smart person, but his sister-in-law is a savage.You must know that the old man looked down on him when he was alive, and he also knew that his fourth brother was the most soft-hearted, if the money was only in the hands of the fourth brother, it would be given to his sister-in-law...

Thinking of how the third uncle of the Li family could still sit still, he was about to get up and get out of bed when he lifted the quilt.

Seeing this, Li Ziqiang quickly grabbed his father's arm and asked, "Father, why are you going?"

"Go and find your fourth uncle. If the old man really left them property, then Zi'an's shop still has half of ours."

After finishing speaking, the third uncle of the Li family changed into a long gown and hurried out.Seeing this, Li Ziqiang stood up and followed with a twinkle in his eyes.

Father Li, who had just started work, was instructing his apprentices to clean up the kitchen, and he couldn't help being surprised to see his third brother rushing to find him.Before he could speak, he was scolded by his third brother.Immediately, Father Li understood the purpose of his third brother's visit. Although he was angry, he still endured it patiently, thinking that he was his own brother after all.

"Third brother, I also heard about Zian's opening of the shop from the mouths of the boss and the second brother. Our father has been digging in the soil all his life. Before we separated, it would be nice for the whole family to have a full meal. Why? There might be some money to subsidize it for me.”

The third uncle of the Li family saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he decided to give up.But I heard my son say from behind: "That's not the case. I remember hearing my grandfather say when I was a child that my great-grandfather once went up the mountain to be a bandit. If he robbed something good..."

Hearing Li Ziqiang's words, Father Li trembled with anger.He even looked at the Li family's third uncle with a bit of dissatisfaction.However, the two of them didn't care at all, they still looked like they were pursuing it to the end, and they didn't want to waste any more time with them, so they turned around and went back to the restaurant to start working.

But how could the Sanfang father and son, who were obsessed with money, let him go so easily, and immediately started yelling in the street.

Father Li knew that his third elder brother was usually a bit arrogant, but after all, his own brothers always had some scruples about him.But at this moment, it seems that I have always thought of people too beautifully because of my own wishful thinking.For a moment, Father Li was filled with disappointment.I know that today is definitely not good.Father Li raised his voice and called Li Wenming to come out, and asked him to take a half-day leave with the shopkeeper, and led them to the academy.

……

Li Zi'an originally thought that Li Ziqiang would calm down after hitting a wall once, but he didn't expect that he came to the door again within two days, and even brought his father along.Li Zi'an knew that Li Ziqiang didn't hold back anything good in his heart, but his father indiscriminately meddled in this matter, which made Li Zi'an's feelings for his father cool down a bit.

The business has become increasingly busy these past few days, and Li Zi'an is so busy that he is hitting the back of his head with his heels, and he doesn't have the heart to talk to them about these twists and turns.He took off the apron on his body and led the three of them directly into the unused private room.

Zhao Yang sat on the small bench by the door, quietly peeling potatoes.Seeing Li Zi'an's uncertain expression, he secretly took precautions in his heart.Gently patted the dirt on the palm of his hand, Zhao Yang stood up slowly.Quietly walked to Uncle Yang's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Uncle Yang raised his eyes to look at the backs of several people, nodded to Zhao Yang and turned around to go out.

Li Zi'an brought a few people into the backyard, and asked straight to the point: "Dad and Uncle San are here for something? You see, it's almost time, I'm cooking in this pot, if you have something to do, you two may as well Tell me directly."

Father Li originally came here full of anger, but the anger in his heart gradually dissipated a lot along the way.Hearing what his son said now, he was suddenly speechless, not knowing what to say for a long time.

On the contrary, the third uncle of the Li family walked around the exquisitely decorated private room with his hands behind his back, and sighed: "The fourth brother's house is really different from before. I watched the shop be renovated. I guess it will soon catch up with Xiangyun Tower. "

As soon as Sanbo finished speaking, Li Zian laughed.Li Sanbo glanced at Li Zi'an and didn't understand what he was laughing at.

"Sanbo, have you really been to Xiangyun Building?" Seeing Sanbo's lips twitching, Li Zi'an continued, "If you have really been to Xiangyun Building, you will understand that your nephew is completely incomparable with others."

Sanbo Li has never been to Xiangyun Tower, but he heard rumors that Xiangyun Tower is extremely luxurious.Now seeing that Li Zian's private room was so refined that it was beyond his imagination, Xiangyun Tower should be not much different from Li Zian's shop.Now listening to what my nephew said, it is obvious that I have made a joke.Immediately, Li Sanbo's face became a little restless, and the eyes he looked at Li Zi'an were far less kind than before.

Li Ziqiang couldn't stand doing Tai Chi like this. Seeing that the scene had cooled down, he opened his mouth and said, "Fourth Uncle, you brought us here because you didn't listen to my father and Zi'an talking about these things, did you? Our surname is Li, it doesn't make sense The things left by the old man don't belong to our third room, do they?"
