After Li Zexuan chatted with Han Lizheng in the house for a while, he saw Han Yuxi and Tiedan walking in with food.
"Master, miss, father, have dinner."
Han Yuxi placed the dishes on a very old but clean square table, and smiled and called everyone to eat.
"Master, miss, hurry up and sit down and eat." Han Li was greeted quickly.
"Well, Uncle Han, you are welcome. Sit too. Ms. Han, you have worked hard to cook. Sit and eat with Tiedan." Li Zexuan said.
Han Yuxi hesitated, but Tiedan was so happy. He had been salivating for the pheasant on the table and the nibbling chicken Li Zexuan brought over. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. It was even more so when he saw the golden crispy nibble chicken. Can't hold it anymore.
He just wanted to stretch out his hand to steal food several times in the kitchen, but his sister found him and drove him out of the kitchen. Now that he heard Li Zexuan asking him to come up to eat together, no matter where he could bear it, he was about to walk over. As a result, Han Li was staring at him severely, and he immediately retracted his feet in fright.
"Master, you and the young lady will eat first. There is still food in the kitchen. Tie Dan and the little girl will eat in the kitchen."
Although Han Lizheng wanted to let his son and daughter have a good meal together at the table, the Li family was very kind to Han Jiazhuang. This time the young master and the young lady were able to come to his house for dinner. He was also very happy and asked his daughter to call him yesterday. The pheasant that is ready to be sold is stewed to entertain the distinguished guests. You can't be rude at this time.
"How can this work? When we came to Uncle Han's house for dinner, it was so disturbing. You don't charge us for the meal. Uncle Han is so arrogant at this time. If girl Han and Tiedan don't come to eat together, we will have this meal. Stop eating." Li Zexuan firmly disagreed.
He just saw the drooling look at the iron egg on the table, and he couldn't help but sympathize with the people of this era. They might not be able to eat meat during the New Year.
Li Zexuan's ability is indeed limited, and there is no way for the people of the world to live a good life, but it is still possible to give the Tiedan family a good meal. There is another reason. It is indeed a great enjoyment to be able to eat at the same table as Han Yuxi, who is so beautiful and delicious. Of course, for this reason, our honest Li Zexuan will not admit it.
Han Li is helpless, and can only nod to his son and daughter: "Since the young master is kind, come and eat together."
Tiedan cheered, and immediately sat down in the empty seat beside Lan'er. Han Yuxi smiled gratefully at Li Zexuan, and sat next to Han Lizheng, who happened to be opposite Li Zexuan. She was not greedy, but she also hoped to let the younger brother eat meat.
A group of people just sat down and started a meal.
At this time, Han Li suddenly patted his head, as if thinking of something, stood up and said:
"I haven't got the wine for the young master yet, young master, there is no good wine in this country, but the mountain fruit wine made by my family Yuxi is quite good, I will show it to the young master to taste."
Before Li Zexuan refused, he ran into the back room to get the wine.
Li Zexuan originally wanted to refuse. He didn't drink. Later, when he heard that it was just fruit wine, and it was brewed by Han Yuxi himself, he hesitated. Seeing that Han Li was going in to get the wine before he could speak, it would be hard to say anything, but in his heart. Still have some expectations.
After a while, Han Li was holding a wine jar and said to Li Zexuan, "Master, this is the mountain fruit wine made by my family Yuxi. It is made from wild strawberries and hawthorn from the mountain. It is not my boasting. This wine is very good. Every year when this wine is brought to Chang'an City, it is bought at a high price by Yunxi Building for ten cents."
While talking, he poured a bowl for Li Zexuan.
"Father, Tiedan wants to drink it too." Tiedan licked his mouth and looked at Han Lizheng eagerly. Obviously he must have drunk it before and he still loves it.
Han Li was glaring at his son angrily, Li Zexuan quickly said: "Uncle Han, since the iron egg wants to drink you, let him drink it. We can't finish drinking so much."
Yes, this guy thought that Han Lizheng was holding such a big bottle of wine for himself and his party. In fact, Han Lizheng also knew that Li Zexuan could not finish drinking such a big bottle of wine. He planned to sell the rest in the city. . But when he heard Li Zexuan say this, he was even more difficult to explain, so he poured a bowl for his sons and daughters and said: "Since the young master said so, Yuxi and Tiedan will also accompany the young master to drink and drink at noon."
Tie Dan was very happy. I didn’t expect the young master from this city to be so talkative. He was much more modest than the previous son of Liu Dizhu’s house. He was very grateful to Li Zexuan at the moment. How did he know that Li Zexuan was interesting to his sister.
Li Zexuan looked at the fruit wine in the bowl, the color was bright red, and it was very beautiful. With a light sniff, there was no alcohol smell. Then he was relieved. He took the wine and took a sip. The mouth was sour and sweet, with the sourness of hawthorn and the sweetness of strawberry. It’s much better than the fruit juices of later generations. After all, the materials of this fruit wine are pure and natural without pollution. Li Zexuan smashed his mouth, exclaimed:
"The Korean girl's winemaking skills are really superb. The taste of this wine is really great. This fruit wine is a great bargain for me to say that a jin of Yunxilou for ten cents."
Lan'er also took a bite and couldn't stop it anymore. This sweet and sour taste was fatal to children. Hearing his brother talking, he quickly agreed:
"Yeah, my brother is right. Sister Yu Xi, you are so amazing. This fruit wine is delicious. Lan'er has never drunk such a delicious fruit wine when she grew up."
Li Zexuan is a bit funny, this little girl is only more than six years old, and she is ashamed to say that she has grown up so much.
Han Yuxi said shyly and modestly: "Miss Young Master passed the award. In fact, this wine is very simple. These materials are originally some worthless things on the mountain. It is already very content to sell for ten cents and a catty of Yuxi."
Li Zexuan shook his head. He had an idea. A little modification of this mountain fruit wine will surely sell well in summer. He said to Han Lizheng, "Uncle Han, do you know the Zuixianlou in Chang'an West City?"
Han Li nodded, "I know, Han had been to the West Market yesterday. I saw that Zuixianlou had a very good business, and there was a long line in front of the door. Han didn't know what they were lining up to buy."
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Don’t hide from Uncle Han, that Zuixianlou is my family’s property. The people who lined up in front of Zuixianlou yesterday were just to buy the chicken, uh..."
But Li Zexuan pointed to the plate with the gnawed chicken, and saw that there were only a few pieces of chicken left on the plate. It turned out that the iron egg saw the adults talking and happily on the side. He couldn't stop after tasting a piece of the golden gnawing chicken. Taking advantage of the time when a few people were talking, this kid was developing wretchedly and ate a lot. Eat it.
Han Li was furious instantly: "Iron egg, you bastard!"
I'm going to get up and hit someone.
Li Zexuan hurriedly pulled Han Lizheng: "Uncle Han, don't be impulsive, this gnawed chicken is not a valuable thing. There is still a lot of iron eggs in my family. I eat iron eggs and eat them. Today everyone is so happy to eat together. Angry."
Li Zexuan persuaded Han Lizheng for a long time.
Han Li was sitting down and staring at Tie Dan. Tie Dan had just seen his father get angry and was about to kick his feet. Seeing that Li Zexuan had persuaded him to stop him, he was not willing to run and whispered embarrassedly. : "Thank you, Master."
Lan'er watched quite interestingly from the side, and said to Tiedan: "Brother Tiedan, what do you want to eat, you call me sister, I will give you a clip, and your father will not be aggressive."
Lan'er, such a cute and lovely girl, talked to herself, and Tiedan blushed shyly in an instant, and said: "Miss Lan'er, you may not be bigger than Tiedan, right?"
Lan'er held a piece of gnawed chicken, and stared at the iron egg: "Huh?"
shook the gnawed chicken in his hand and threatened.
Tie Dan looked at the gnawed chicken and swallowed. He had never eaten such a delicious chicken before, and he struggled for a long time before shouting with a bitter face, "Sister Lan'er!"
Laner replied with a smile: "Well, brother iron egg."
said, chucking all the chickens into the iron egg bowl.
Tie Dan looked at the gnawing chicken in the bowl, and said in his heart: "This sister's call is worth it."
Li Zexuan continued to tell Han Lizheng regardless of the little sister's mischief on the side: "Uncle Han, you have also seen that the business of Zuixianlou is very hot. You will sell fruit wine to Zuixianlou at a price of 30 yuan per catty. Acquisition, how much do you have, how much we want, you can also start the farmer in the village to go up the mountain to help you pick wild fruits, you look at giving them some rewards, after all, the number of picking by girl Han is limited, and what if there is anything in the mountains? Beast, girl Han is not safe alone, what do you think?"
Han Yuxi heard Li Zexuan's faint concern for her, and felt a little delighted in her heart for some reason. She lowered her head and ate food without talking.
Han Li was hearing Li Zexuan's 30 wen per catty, and his breathing was a little short, but after a while he still sensibly refused:
"No, how can you do business like the young master? The young master will lose money. We will sell the wine to the young master in the future, but we still only sell ten cents a catty. The people in Hanjiazhuang cannot do such unkind things~ EbookFREE.me~ Alas, why the people of these years are so simple, Li Zexuan said: "Uncle Han, listen to me, since I dared to buy 30 yuan a catty, I will definitely not lose money, or even make a lot of money. When the time comes, Uncle Han sees that I earn so much, don't regret it. "
Li Zexuan said half-jokingly.
Han Lizheng blushed anxiously when he heard the words, stood up and said, "Master, how can my old Han be the kind of villain who is treachery and rebellious."
Seeing him like this, Li Zexuan quickly calmed and said, "Uncle Han is not anxious, my nephew is joking with you. I know that Uncle Han is a man of trust and righteousness. Uncle Han, there is a reason why I paid 30 cents a catty for the purchase, you It’s up to you to hire a farmer to help the girl picking wild fruits for the Korean girl. You can’t help but pay, it’s all costs. It just happens to increase the income of the farmer in Hanjiazhuang.
Han Lizheng heard the words, and then he thought about what Li Zexuan meant. As Lizheng, he naturally knew that the people of Hanjiazhuang had a very hard life, although they were much better than other villagers.
But he also wanted the dealers to have a better life. Li Zexuan's proposal made him very tempted, and he pondered for a long time. Then he said to Li Zexuan: "Since the young master is kind enough to give us Hanjiazhuang a way to survive, I will replace Han Zhuang Shangxia, thank you Master."
After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan hurriedly came over to help him, and told him not to be polite. Han Lizheng added at this time: "However, if the young master loses money in the future, the purchase price will automatically be reduced to ten yuan per catty, and the wages will also fall when the time comes. When the people in the Zhuangzi come, I will be responsible for persuading the people. Master, you will not agree. This one, let this business go. I, Han, would rather starve to death than to cheat the young master."
Li Zexuan had no choice but to agree, this Han Li was really straightforward.
