Datang Nongwang

Chapter 7
That night.

But Li Chongyuan ransacked boxes and cabinets in the house.

"Housekeeper, how much is this worth?" Li Chongyuan was holding a pair of calligraphy and painting, which looked pretty good, but he didn't know if it was worth it.

"Xiao Langjun, there are not many valuable things in the house. This is left by the Duke of the county, so it cannot be sold." The housekeeper looked at the painting and calligraphy held by Li Chongyuan, quickly took it, and put it away carefully.

"What about this? This looks quite valuable." Li Chongyuan took out an object from the box again and asked.

"Xiao Langjun, this is even more unacceptable. This was rewarded by the Holy Majesty when you were ennobled." The housekeeper hurriedly took it and put it back into the box.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so why is this restaurant open? Could it be that I'm going to sell myself?" Li Chongyuan became furious.

There is no money in the house.

He really ran out of money, and he compensated Dali Temple Shaoqing with five hundred guan. The money Li Chongyuan can use now is estimated to be less than [-] guan. It can be said that he is very poor.

A magistrate's title, although he has [-] mu of land and [-] households, but there are not so many real food towns.

Five hundred acres of land, but that is the most fundamental thing. Li Chongyuan really wanted to sell it, but if he really sold it, he would probably be stripped naked by Li Shimin and hung in the Chengtianmen for three days.

"Xiao Langjun, why don't you go and see the old lady?" Of course the housekeeper knew how much money was available in the house, so that's why he came up with such an idea.

He also knew that Li Chongyuan's fief was not a good place at all, the output was low, and he had to support those farmers.

The family has no money, but they want to open a restaurant to earn some money back.

Li Chongyuan's father, Li Gui, left Li Chongyuan with not even a shop except calligraphy and painting, which really discouraged Li Chongyuan.

"How can I open my mouth like this? Auntie is not in good health recently. Since giving birth to a little sister, her health has deteriorated day by day. I am going to ask Auntie now. Am I still human?" Li Chongyuan refused.

A Niang, of course it is Li Chongyuan's father Li Gui's wife.

Li Chongyuan's biological mother passed away early, but the wife is still alive, and Li Chongyuan called this old lady a mother.

"Then why don't you go and see the King of Hejian County?" the butler suggested again.

"What kind of bad idea are you thinking, just him? If I come to the door, I will definitely be beaten, and he is very stingy. If I can borrow a hundred guan, I will take your surname." After hearing this, Li Chongyuan shook his head again and again. .

Based on Li Chongyuan's understanding of Li Xiaogong, let alone a hundred guan, it is estimated that even ten guan will not be given to Li Chongyuan.

Although he never borrowed it, Li Chongyuan once remembered some things from his childhood.

For example, when Li Chongyuan met Li Xiaogong when he was young, he said "uncle" on the left and "uncle" on the right, but there was no reward at all.

For another example, when Li Chongyuan separated from his family after he was ennobled, Li Chongyuan's uncle, Prince Hejian, didn't even have a congratulatory gift.

From this matter, Li Chongyuan can know how stingy his uncle is.

As for whether it is true or not, Li Chongyuan can only guess based on some memories of the original owner. The housekeeper's idea can be said to be a really bad idea.

"Then what should I do? Is it really necessary to sell these things?" The housekeeper was also at a loss, and couldn't think of any good way.

Li Chongyuan sat helplessly on the chair, looked at the box in front of him, and really wanted to sell it for gold, silver, copper coins or something, so as to solve the urgent need at the moment.

"A poor shop now costs [-] guan, not counting labor and decoration, and materials, and a medium one costs [-] guan, and a good one costs more than [-] guan. The restaurant to be opened must have a good location." Li Chongyuan mumbled word by word.

The consumption in Chang'an City can be said to be the highest in the whole world.

For a county government in Shangzhou, one thousand guan is enough to open two good restaurants.

However, Li Chongyuan has no money, but this restaurant must be opened.

"Yes." Li Chongyuan suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up.

……

"Fourth brother, what's the matter with you sending someone to call us here today? I'm still on duty." The second brother Li Chongxuan asked the excited Li Chongyuan.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother, I invite you here today because I have something good to tell you. Tell me, Fourth Brother, how much money do you have?" Li Chongyuan asked before talking about the restaurant. The money from the three brothers came.

"Fourth brother, are you short of money? Eldest brother still has some here. Is a hundred coins enough? If not, I'll ask my mother for some." Li Chongji said with a smile.

"Yes, fourth brother, if you are short of money, third brother also has some here." Li Chongxu also said.

"No, no, how can I ask for your money? I want to open a restaurant, which will make a lot of money. What I mean is to let you buy shares. Each of you will get [-] yuan, and each will get [-]%. What do you think?" started to reply.

"Opening a restaurant? Fourth brother, is your brain still damaged? Do you want to ask the doctor to come and have a look?" Li Chongji heard that his fourth brother suddenly wanted to open a restaurant, and was worried that Li Chongyuan was killed by the prince last time. He was beaten unconscious and injured his head.

Li Chongyuan's second and third brothers also looked at him worriedly.

Such a sudden talk of opening a restaurant is either a brain failure or a brain problem.

As far as his Li family has always passed on poems and books to the family, there is no way to do business.

Not to mention their family, not even the Li family has a restaurant.

Besides, the royal family members can't do business directly. If those civil servants find out about it, there will be troubles.

However, Li Chongyuan didn't care about these things.

Even if I can't directly participate, at least I can hang under someone's name.

There are policies above, but there are countermeasures below.

"I knew you didn't believe me, butler, bring the food here and let the elder brothers taste it." Seeing his three brothers answering irrelevant questions, Li Chongyuan quickly waved to the butler.

After a while, the servants brought out the dishes that Li Chongyuan had already prepared.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, you all have a taste. This is the cooking I cooked myself. The taste is definitely the best in the world. After you taste it, let's talk about what I just said." Li Chongyuan pointed to the dishes on the table, Said without shame.

The three Li Chongji brothers looked at the dishes on the table, they were all delicious, but they didn't know how they tasted.

Although there was a lot of confusion in my heart, seeing my fourth younger brother cook these dishes for them personally, I was so moved that I swallowed tears.

"Fourth brother, you really made this? It's so delicious, it's really rare in the world, delicious, really delicious." Li Chongji, the eldest brother, tasted the food first, and after he tasted it, he was full of praise, and his chopsticks didn't stop Down.

Afterwards, Li Chongxuan and Li Chongxu did the same, as if they were carved out of the same mold as yesterday's Li Chongzhen.
