Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 58

"Open a big restaurant in Qingmen!"

At dawn, Du Wulang stood up and said something with fighting spirit.

He has heard everything Du Jin said, and today he is going to buy the house where the dark gambling house is located.

Only he in the family knows how big it is.

Suddenly thinking of that plump and beautiful woman, Du Wulang thought that nothing happened to her that night, and the Jinwu Guard arrived soon.

What he has to do right now is to help Xue Bai and his sisters to prop up this restaurant, and also prop up the Du family's door!
With a "squeak", he pushed the door and walked out, full of youthful ambition.

But when he turned his head, he saw that someone had entered the courtyard in the morning light. Du Wulang was stunned for a moment, then quickly retreated into the room and closed the door.

"Boom."

There was the sound of kicking the door, it was the room where Xue Bai lived next door, and the sound of rummaging through could be heard.

After thinking for a while, Du Wulang honestly opened the door of his house, walked into the yard, and stood a little further away.

"Where is he?" Jiao Nu came out of Xue Bai's room and asked with a cold face.

"Why is the girl here?" Du Wulang changed the topic, "The girl's complexion looks much better than before, really! By the way, can I eat early?"

When it came to breakfast, Jiaonu became more and more displeased.

"You guys are so talented, you don't sacrifice your cooking to the right minister, you dare to sacrifice it elsewhere."

"Ah, stir-fried vegetables... Oh, the girl wants to eat stir-fried vegetables? I'll ask Thirteen Niang to cook one."

Jiaonu stepped forward, picked up his collar and shouted: "Speak honestly as soon as possible, does he not want to marry?"

It's not easy to answer such words. Du Wulang was in a dilemma for a long time, not knowing what to do.Suddenly, he had an idea, closed his eyes and tilted his head, pretending to faint from fright.

Angry and speechless, Jiao Nu let go of him and pushed him away. Du Wulang staggered twice, nearly fell down, got up and ran.

"I'm going to cook a big dish for the girl!"

Jiaonu seemed to hesitate for a moment, but remembering that she had just eaten the Yulu dumpling given by Seventeen Niang this morning, she rushed back to the front yard and drove away.

……

After half an hour, Du Wulang went out with Du Jin, already worried.

"You Xiangfu got the news so quickly, I'm afraid they are going to trouble Xue Bai?"

"Sooner or later we will know."

"Second sister, aren't you worried? Then it's all right..."

In the middle of Du Wulang's speech, he suddenly turned his head and saw a few people in the alley pointing this way. Seeing him turning his head, they all walked away.

"Are they talking about cooking?" He thought to himself, feeling complacent and returning to the business.

Go to Panxia Restaurant today, and change the diet of people all over the world in the future!
The horseshoes hoofed and headed towards Daozhengfang.

~~
Daozhengfang.

There is a courtyard adjacent to Nuanrong Pavilion, and there is an attic in the courtyard.

Sitting on the attic, you can see the lively corner of Qingmen. Daxi Yingying picked up a prepared contract and looked at it, and asked the next person: "Is it Yang Yuyao who wants to buy it?"

"The news has not passed yet, only Mrs. Guo's House dares to buy it."

"If you don't sell it to her, scrape the pepper wall, pull up the flowers and trees, and sell it at a low price. I don't allow Chang'an to have a place as luxurious as my new gambling house."

"Here."

"Wait." Daxi Yingying asked, "What did you say she bought it for?"

"Restaurant." The servant then talked about the details of yesterday, "Yesterday many nobles from Chang'an tasted fried dishes at her house and praised them one after another. Today, many people are planning to invite her to another banquet..."

Daxi Yingying only listened attentively at this moment, and when she heard a name she had heard vaguely, she asked, "Who did you just mention?"

"Xue Bai, this son is very handsome and talented, I am afraid that sooner or later he will be famous in Chang'an..."

"I sleep a lot for this kind of beautiful boy. Since his background is not high, there must be a master behind him. Say the latter name."

"Du Zhuan, this person was born in Du Liangdi's natal family, he is the fifth son of Du's family, and he was also present for the dish yesterday."

"I just said that this name has some impressions. It hurts my stomach. It's really easy to remember." Daxi Yingying frowned, thinking to herself, "Where did you hear it?"

At this time someone came, it was her steward Shi Zhong.

"Ma'am, when they arrive, if they decide not to sell, the villain will go and refuse them to see each other."

Daxi Yingying looked around, and he could just see the street in front of Nuanrong Pavilion from here.

Suddenly, a figure caught her attention. It was a young man who was sitting on horseback, pointing at the market, looking very high-spirited.

She froze slightly, then suddenly understood.

"It was him."

"lady?"

"Sell." Daxi Yingying said, "Sell him to save face."

"Here."

Shi Zhong left, Daxi Yingying drank a cup of tea by himself, and remembered where he had seen Du Quan's name.

She ordered someone to find out which book boy Jixiang had killed. The list was very long, and the nearest one was Du Quan, the fifth son of the Du family.

It was also that ugly-looking boy who killed the enemy's family within a month of his school boy being beaten to death, and more than that, the Ji family was full of crimes.

Now even her gambling shop can be sold, why is she so capable?
Don't worry, we will be neighbors in the future, and we will see each other slowly...

~~
"I have been here before, and today I know that it has a lobby, a private room, a kitchen, a courtyard, and an attic. It is a good place to run a restaurant. It's just that it's too far to serve food. Hey, the path can be separated by a bamboo garden. It's only for serving food."

Du Wulang entered the mansion, watched and pointed, and Deng Tong and Shi Zhong nodded repeatedly.

Today Deng Tong came directly from outside the city to meet the Du family siblings first, but Xue Bai hadn't arrived yet.

In the future, Deng Lian would still stay at Mrs. Guoguo's house, and the chef of this restaurant would be Hu Shisanniang. They took Hu Shisanniang to see the kitchen, and Du Wulang showed his skills even more.

"I told you that the snacks in this casino are also very good. I brought a few pieces before I left. The jujube cake is sweet but not greasy, and the skin is crispy and sandy. The jujube used must be authentic Western Region jujube, and it comes from the The hand of a famous chef... Shi Guanshi, don’t you think so?”

"I don't know about that." Shi Zhongdao: "My family, Alang, is an official outside. This house is rented by others. I never thought that they would use it as a gambling house. Not only did the government confiscate their property, but also implicated Alang's name, so I had to sell it."

He couldn't see through this Du Wulang anymore.

Finally, Xue Bai arrived.

Shi Zhong looked at him and felt that as Daxi Yingying said, Xue Bai was one of the ordinary romantics, good-looking and talented, and they had seen a lot. Chang'an City would produce several such characters every year. Wang Wei, Li Bai, Li Shizhi, Cui Zongzhi, Yan Zhenqing, Cen Shen and Gao Shi are in the limelight this year.

It's rare to be as secretive as Du Wulang.

"Xue Bai, here!"

But Du Wulang had already turned around and shouted: "You came so late, and Guanshi Deng and I took a close look at each other."

"Ask Uncle Deng to read it again. If you are satisfied, then make a decision."

Xue Bai glanced at Shi Zhong imperceptibly, with a somewhat respectful attitude.

He knew that the supervisor who was in charge of the affairs was very powerful. After such a big secret gambling house was discovered, he could still keep the house in his hands and sell it.

There is another small detail. Xue Bai observed when he came, and found that Shi Zhong had neither horses nor sedan chairs, and came on foot. This shows that Shi Zhong's main family still has a property nearby.

In the future, everyone will still have the opportunity to deal with each other, but right now there is no need. He is still too weak, and a naive child holding money to cross the market is easy to be swallowed up by a big shot, just leave a hidden connection.

Not urgent.

As for the location here?Xue Bai is not good at business, and he doesn't care about the location.

I don’t know who disclosed the news that the restaurant will be opened. This morning, Mrs. Guo Guo’s Mansion received 27 reservation posts, and they all wanted to book the entire restaurant. The posters were all powerful and wanted to try cooking There are some, and those who want to please Mrs. Guo are even more so.

If two seats can be arranged a day, the business has already been arranged after the Lantern Festival.

It is said that merchants are lowly, and the imperial court collects merchants’ head tax, which makes the threshold for small people to do business quite high, but the imperial court does not collect merchant taxes, regardless of how much merchants earn.Therefore, this cheap business of merchants is actually in the hands of the nobles. Behind the big merchants are all powerful people, and all the powerful people have properties under their families.

Earn money with your eyes closed.

Xue Bai quickly signed the contract, and let Deng Tong not have to bargain, and sold the other party a small favor.

After doing this, he invited Du Jin to have a chat alone.

"The matter of the restaurant is left to you, and I have to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

"in trouble?"

"It's okay. If you think of an important matter, you can listen to it."

Du Jin raised her eyes to glance at him, and moved closer.

"Pay attention to whether there is a dark room where you can hear the conversations in each private room. If there is, keep it; if not, you can find a way."

"Ah."

Xue Bai turned to leave, but turned around again and asked, "Eldest sister didn't come? How is she?"

"Did you hear those words too?" Du Jin understood why he asked such a question, and immediately came to her senses, "It doesn't matter to her, what about you? I also said something about you."

"It's okay."

"That's good." Du Jin said, "You are busy with your work."

"gone."

Before Xue Bai left, he glanced at the place that was about to become a restaurant.

It will connect him with Mrs. Guo's Mansion and Du's House, and it will be the first relationship network he has woven.

~~
Mrs. Guo's mansion.

Yang Yuyao met the guests in the lobby, and turned back to the boudoir, her face frosted, and she pushed a big vase to the ground.

"Yaoniang calm down." Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her softly.

"The people who live in my house dare to go back, Li Genu really thinks that he is covering the sky with his own hands."

"That's how a villain succeeds." Mingzhu followed her wishes and scolded: "Yang Shenjin privately said that Li Genu couldn't read all the characters, so he gave people a congratulatory form and wrote 'Nongzhang's Celebration' as "Nong Deer's Celebration", such a fool is also worthy of being a prime minister? He secretly called him "Nong Deer's Prime Minister"..."

Only then did Yang Yuyao calm down a lot.

But having said that, she had just won the Pearl and was in high spirits, and it happened that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to look for Xue Bai, making her realize that she really wanted Xue Bai very much.

She enjoyed Mingzhu's gentle explanation, and her temper gradually faded, but she was still unwilling after all.

"It's strange to say that I know that Xue Bai is greedy for power, but I want him to know that my power is not inferior to Li Genu."

"Yao Niang is a fairy, he has blind eyes, he should let him know that he is wrong."

"Well, wait, after a while, I want him to wag his tail to please me."

"Yao Niang... let Mingzhu come to please you first..."

Mingzhu looks weak and shy, but she is very bold when she is on the couch, she is really a stunner.

After this day, Yang Yuyao fell in love with her more and more, and decided to take her with her wherever she went.

~~
Pingkangfang Youxiang Mansion always has a depressing atmosphere.

From the strict guards to the trembling behavior of every servant, all the details reveal that the master of this family is extremely difficult to get along with.

It can be seen that there are wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames. Suo Fighting Chicken and Meat Loin Knife are well-deserved.

Xue Bai turned around the corridor, but this time he was not very worried.

He knew that Li Linfu didn't care about him for the time being, and it was Li Xiu who called him here today.

"Xue Bai, you let me down so much!"

Li Xiu raised his hand and pointed, straight to the point, and scolded quite severely.

"It's all right for Yang Zhao to visit relatives or friends, you dare to follow, Mrs. Guo Guo is not your relative."

"What Shi Lang said is true." Xue Bai responded neither humble nor overbearing: "I have no relatives, and the New Year is approaching, so I should not visit other people's relatives."

This is where he is much weaker than Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao has connections behind him, but he doesn't.

But that's okay, he's already in business.

Li Xiu didn't expect to be reprimanded by him. After being stunned for a while, he taught him a lesson: "How dare you be dissatisfied? You have cooking skills. You don't dedicate it to Grandpa, but to Mrs. Guo Guo. What do you mean?!"

Xue Bai had many pleasant answers, such as considering that Mr. Right is busy with work, and considering that the cooking is not perfect.

But when he opened his mouth, he said something very frankly.

"I don't want to marry."

"what?"

Li Xiu was stunned again, thinking that he had heard wrongly, he had never thought that Xue Bai was so bold.

"Yeah, Seventeenth Mother?"

Behind the screen, a woman suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

Then something was overturned, and a series of light and hasty footsteps ran away.

"Seventeen Niang, wait for Mian'er..."
