The hotness of the gnawed chicken continued. On the second day, when the gate of Xishifang opened, many people went straight to Zuixianlou. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the places in Zuixianlou were occupied, Zuixianlou. Those who couldn't get in outside began to line up.
"Brother Wang, you also came to eat this gnawed chicken?"
A short young man in white clothes saw that the one in the front row turned out to be an acquaintance, so he chatted.
"Yes, yesterday after Chen Erhu ate the gnawed chicken from the drunken fairy building, he blew it with me all afternoon. His Chen family is a nouveau riche and dare to come to my house to show off. I can't afford to eat this gnawed chicken. "The Wang's face is proud.
"Well, we came so early, why didn't we have any seats? This Zui Xianlou is really too small. The place is too small."
"I heard that this gnawed chicken is only limited to two hundred copies a day. We should be able to make it to this position. The rest is miserable. Today, I will taste the amazing gnawed chicken that everyone has spread."
……
An hour later, the two hundred gnawed chickens in Zuixianlou were all sold out, but there was still a line of at least one hundred people outside. Those who were not in the queue immediately quit, one after another, they started clamoring and making noise. The chaos even shocked Wuhou of Chang'an City.
Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to announce an increase in the supply of chickens eaten today by one hundred, which resolved the confusion.
……
Tai Chi Palace.
The old Zhao Song was reporting the background of Li Zexuan he found to Li Er one by one, and presented a piece of rice paper to Li Er.
After listening to Li Er, he stood up, walked two steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "According to you, Li Zexuan didn't intend to approach Chengqian and Changle on purpose?"
picked up the piece of rice paper again, interested and authentic:
"This Li Zexuan is even proficient in math, and he is even better than Xu Hongzhi. I didn't expect that this kid seems to have a lot of skills, but what is the twist on the paper?"
If Li Zexuan were here, he would definitely recognize it. That rice paper was the financial statement he made at the garment shop that day. I didn't expect that the old even got this.
"The old slave didn't know. According to the guy present at the time, Xu Hongzhi didn't know what the word was, and Li Zexuan didn't explain it either."
……
Li Er was still confused by the Arabic numbers, but Li Zexuan was lying on the couch in the west courtyard of the Li Mansion and flirting with two little maids, ah, no, they were telling a story. The couch was asked by Sambo to invite Zhou Carpenter from Chengdong two days ago. Naturally, the drawings were made by Li Zexuan. Such a simple thing is a trivial matter to him, an engineering dog.
What Li Zexuan told them was "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". In fact, there are not many stories in his head. He remembers some TV dramas that he watched many times when he was a child. He basically didn't watch TV dramas when he was in college. It felt like a routine. It's anxious to see. Not playing games every day, or chatting with his little girlfriend online, long distance relationships are also very hard.
"Master, this Liang Shanbo is so stupid. He slept with Zhu Yingtai for so long without knowing that she was a female. How could this be possible? Master, you are making up again." After a while, Xiao He protested.
"Why is it impossible, why is it made up?"
Li Zexuan is not convinced, how can the love classics of previous life be made up?
"Master, a woman is a woman. Even if you disguise yourself as a man, you can still tell it. Master, you must have read more dramas." Xiaohe said with an experience.
"Who said that some women disguise themselves as men are indeed easy to be seen through, such as Xiao Xi, but you are a girl like Xiaohe, if you disguise as men, it is difficult to be seen, hehe."
After Li Zexuan said, he looked at Xiao He's small a little bit maliciously.
"Master, you...you...huh!"
Xiaohe followed Li Zexuan's gaze, jumped up instantly, blushing, and having been with Li Zexuan for a long time, not knowing what to say, stamped his feet in shame, turned and ran.
Xiao Xi also blushed on the side, not daring to look up at Li Zexuan again, but in her heart she was thinking: "The young master just meant to praise my big breasts?"
The more I think about it, the more pretty my face turns red.
At this moment, Li Zexuan noticed a tall and pretty girl in green clothes walking into the yard. Li Zexuan knew this girl who was by his mother, who seemed to be Qing'er. Seeing that he was almost here, Li Zexuan stood up and said:
"Why did Sister Qing'er come? Is my mother looking for me?"
Qing'er smiled and nodded and said, "Madam, please go to the lobby."
A moment later, Li Zexuan came to the front hall and saw his mother sitting in front of the hall. There was a lean old man under the hall. This person was the housekeeper Wang of Li Mansion. Li Zexuan had met several times a few days ago.
"Xuan'er, here comes, come to my mother to sit down soon."
Mrs. Li saw her son coming, and quickly smiled and waved.
Li Zexuan walked over and sat down and said, "Mother, what's the matter with you calling the child over?"
Mrs. Li handed a booklet in Li Zexuan's hand. Li Zexuan took it and opened it and looked at it. It seemed to be an account book, and curiously said: "Mother, what is this?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "This is the rent account from Hanjiazhuang in the east of the city just sent by the steward Wang. The renter should have paid it a long time ago, but last year the harvest was not good, so the mother gave them a few months of grace. I was supposed to collect 50% of the rent, but my mother only took 40% of them. Isn’t this my family Xuan'er is considered good? UU reading www.uukanshu.com mother will ask you to come over and help my mother do the calculation. When I was a child, my mother had to count for several days, and this year Xuan'er happened to be there, so my mother will save much trouble."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li is very pleased that her son can now share her worries.
After listening to Li Zexuan, he smiled and said: "Well, mother, these things will be left to the child in the future, and the mother can enjoy peace of mind and happiness. The mother's heart is really good, and the tenants are reduced by 10% of the rent. But then again, those bankers It's really not easy for others."
said with some doubts: "Mother, why is there so much fertile land in our family? Why haven't I heard my father say it."
Mrs. Li gave him a blank glance and said: "This is all the land bought for my mother in the past few years and rented to those farmers. My mother sees that there is so much spare money at home that she can't keep it, so she took it out. Part of it, bought some fields."
啧啧, I didn’t expect my old mother to be so advanced in consciousness. In the Tang Dynasty, she knew that she used money to invest in land purchases. He asked curiously: "Mum, how much land did you buy over the years?"
"It's not much, it's only more than 3,000 acres. Your father's shop often needs a lot of money for turnover, so my mother only bought that."
"Puff!" Li Zexuan almost knelt to his old mother, more than 3,000 acres is not too much, but he did not expect to be a big landlord.
"Mother, I'll take this account book away, and I will show it to you tomorrow after the calculation." Li Zexuan turned the account book and said.
"Well, that's hard work, my mother will make you a good meal at noon, and fill your brain!" Madam Li smiled.
"Mother, it's not hard work. In the future, these things will be done by the child. In fact, these are really simple for the child. The child does not want her mother to bother with these things."
"Well, mother understands, Xuan'er is really filial, go now!"
