Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 351 New Business

Liu He followed Li An into the carriage with his head lowered and sat there without saying a word.

Li An sighed and said, "Do you know where the mistake is?"

"I shouldn't secretly go to take part in the martial arts test." Liu He said.

Li An shook his head and said: "What you are wrong is that you don't know yourself. You have only practiced martial arts for a few days, and you want to take part in the martial arts test. What do you think?"

"I...I just heard that those who participated in the martial arts test were not very powerful, so I thought about giving it a try." Liu He lowered his head even lower.

"Go and try? Yes, martial arts is not taken seriously nowadays, and the participants are uneven, but you should at least know yourself a little bit, right? With your three-legged cat skills, you still want to try your luck? Just like you, even if From now on, he will be just a reckless man if he joins the army." Li An yelled angrily.

Those who are at the top of the martial arts examinations are all directly awarded official positions. Although their official positions are not high, they are only in the eighth or ninth grade.

Others with outstanding performance will also be arranged to enter the army and serve in junior positions such as corps commanders.

He really thought that participating in martial arts was just a matter of luck.

"call."

Seeing Liu He bow his head and remain silent, Li An took a deep breath and said, "Do you really want to join the army?"

"Ah."

Liu He looked up at Li An, nodded, and lowered his head again.

He doesn't like studying, doesn't want to do business, and he doesn't want to farm like his parents.

On the contrary, I was very interested in talking about the battles in this novel.

"I will find a way later to arrange for you to go to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. As for whether you can get ahead, it depends on you." Li An said.

It's better to block than to open up. Liu He wanted to join the army. Naturally, if he was restrained all the time, he might one day join the army on his own.

Although there would be no war in the short term, he remembered that not long after Zhao Zongquan ascended the throne, the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom sent troops to test the situation, and a war broke out.

If Liu He went to join the frontier army or the western suburbs camp and died on the battlefield, he would have no way to explain to his uncle and his family.

The duty of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is to maintain public security in Bianjing and detect thieves and thieves.

Unless the Song Dynasty is about to perish, there is really no possibility for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to go to the battlefield.

The Wucheng Army and Horse Division has become a place where officials place their sons and sons in the royal family of Bianjing.

Almost all the children of wealthy families who had been banned were placed in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to hang out.

However, Li An still had a way to arrange for Liu He to go in and become an ordinary soldier.

"Really?" Liu He was delighted when he heard this.

"Can I still lie to you? But this matter will take some time. Please be honest with me during this time." Li An said angrily.

"I understand, cousin, don't worry, I will definitely be honest." Liu He said.

Li An was noncommittal upon hearing this and ignored him.

"Well..." Liu He said a little embarrassedly: "Can you not tell your aunt about this?"

"Why do you know you're scared now?" Li An said, "It's too late. When Zhuzi came to look for me, my eldest brother was there. My parents must know about it now. I'll be there soon, just wait for the scolding." "

Speaking of which, Liu He was still his cousin, and as a younger brother, it was hard to say something too harshly.

It's better to let his mother take care of him, so that he won't get into trouble.

Liu He: "..."

……

When Li An brought Liu He to the new house, it turned out that as Li An said, Liu already knew that Liu He had gone to participate in the martial arts competition.

Seeing Liu He back intact, he was happy at first, and then angrily grabbed his ears and scolded him.

While begging for mercy, Liu He winked at Li An and Li Ping, hoping that they would help him plead for mercy.

However, the Li An brothers just pretended not to see it.

In the end, it was Li Nan who helped and begged for mercy and rescued Liu He. "You brat, if you don't obey me and act recklessly, go back to Yangzhou." Mrs. Liu said with a cold face.

"Aunt, don't worry. My cousin has agreed to arrange for me to join the army. I will definitely not mess around." Liu He said quickly.

"Aniu, what's going on?"

Ms. Liu frowned and looked at Li An with an unkind look.

"Mom, it's like this..."

Li An explained the nature of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

"That's not bad." Mrs. Liu felt relieved when she heard that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was not in danger.

After lunch, Liu He wanted to run away, but Liu stopped him and continued to scold him.

Li An was called to the garden by Li Ping and asked about the business.

"Brother, I thought about it carefully and we can open a restaurant in Bianjing." Li An said.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration. First of all, he now has stir-fried dishes.

However, the development of stir-fried dishes has not been long, and the taste is not even as good as some dishes made by boiling, roasting and steaming.

Don’t underestimate the methods of steaming, cooking and roasting. Even if stir-frying became the mainstream in later generations, there are still many steaming, cooking and roasting dishes that have been passed down.

It can be seen that these practices are not without merit.

It's just that the workmanship of these dishes is complicated, and ordinary people can't be so exquisite. They are simply cooked.

Stir-fried vegetables definitely taste much better than simply boiled food, and as they are faster, they have slowly become mainstream.

Ang Lee can cook a lot of stir-fry dishes, and many condiments from later generations have not yet been used as condiments.

If you open a restaurant, business will not be bad.

The most important thing is that now you can cook it yourself, so you won't be stared at.

"Open a restaurant?" Li Ping was stunned when he heard this. He hesitated and said, "I think there are many restaurants in Bianjing. If they don't have any special features, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get any business."

"Brother, don't worry. Since I said it, I'm sure. You go back and buy some slaves, both male and female, and send them to me. Let me train for a while. You can just choose the place. It's best. It's in the inner city." Li An said.

Taste is one thing, service is another.

Li An had already thought about it and was mentally prepared.

"Row."

Seeing what Li An said, Li Ping nodded and asked, "How many people should I buy?"

Li An pondered for a while and then said: "If you want to buy thirty for men, they should be around twenty years old. If you want to buy fifty for women, they should be fifteen or sixteen years old. Choose the prettier ones."

"Buying so many? It will cost a lot of money."

Li Ping looked a little strange. How could he open a restaurant and ask for so many women, and he also asked to buy beautiful ones.

He even wanted to ask Li An if this restaurant was serious anymore.

Although brothels are not illegal, they still have a bad reputation.

What's more, Ang Lee still has fame.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Even if I tell you now, you won't understand. You will know when the time comes." Li An saw Li Ping's expression was strange and hesitated to speak, as if he had guessed what he was thinking.

Just kidding, I am also a time traveler after all, how could I possibly do that kind of business?

"Okay then, I will do as you say later." Li Ping said.

"But I can't live with that many people there. You can look back and rent a place nearby for them to stay temporarily." Li An said.

"I know, I will take care of this." Li Ping nodded.

"Then I'll go back first." Li An said.
