Cry for Song

Chapter 89 In the strategy

There is always an endless stream of people who come to the coal market to buy coal. Even in this hot summer, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for cooking with the coal of Jinxiangfu. At the gate of the Jinxiangfu coal farm, there are often carriages of noble officials, ox carts of hotels, and donkeys hired by the people parked at the gate of the coal farm.

But today, there is a rare leisure in front of Jinxiang Mansion. It began to rain in Bianjing City in the morning, and the rain still did not stop at noon. He Li Bo ordered people to prepare wine and dishes to entertain the busy guys who have been working hard for days.

These people set up the table, set up the wine and dishes, and greeted He Liba, "Brother He, don't drink together."

He Libo put on his clothes and said, "I think it's going to rain until the evening. You drink slowly. I'll go back to the house to find the prince." After saying that, he rode out of the coal field.

Jinxiangfu coalfield is in the northwest corner of Bian capital, and Meyerfu is in the southeast of Bian capital. Every time He Li Bo has to pass through the city. Passing by Yunxuan, which is about to open next to the king, the outside of Yunxuan is still covered with cloth. He Libo got off the horse and went in to have a look. The people working inside said that the manager Lu didn't come today. Where did this boy go? He thought to continue south.

Not far ahead is the Jinxiu Building. The shopkeeper Cui Fu saw He Libo coming on a horse, so he stood at the door and said hello to him. He Libo looked inside. Cui Fu walked to the platform outside the restaurant with an umbrella: "Mr. He, are you going back to Meyer's house?"

He Li Bo pointed to it and asked with a smile, "It's better for your business. It's full on rainy days."

Cui Fu was so happy to hear it. He straightened his chest and said proudly, "That's natural. Even the emperor has given us the signboard of this beautiful building at this wedding banquet. Who doesn't want to get the power of the emperor?" He said loudly, as if he could hear everything in the store.

Then he walked to He Libo and whispered, "This business is not good. Now we are all following our example to set up a table in the restaurant. Our menu is unique in the capital. Everyone is tired of the old stewed dishes, and they have a special preference for this stir-frying now. Our seats are booked for August 15th.

He Libo exclaimed: "The more than a dozen dishes of the prince are really good"

Cui Fu curled his lips and said more than a dozen words. He was closer to He Libo and whispered, "You don't know that the prince calls the chef on the stove, that is, the father of the chef. These people are happy, and who invents new dishes, if they sell well, there will be a reward. Look over there."

He kept pointing to the wall where the vegetable plate was hanging. He Libo looked at it and saw that there were dozens of vegetable plates on it, and almost one wall was full. I heard Cui Fu say again, "Every chef here has a unique skill. Let me tell you, don't be too much. Mr. He, you order a dish every day and eat it in a different way that you don't repeat for a season. Can our business not be booming? What's more, there are beautiful rivers and mountains. This is a signature dish given by the emperor, and everyone must order it.

He Libo stood at the door of the hotel and looked in. There are few pedestrians outside the hotel in the rain, but the Jinxiu building is full of hot friends. It can be seen that Cui Fu is telling the truth, and he can't help admiring Wang's ingenuity. He looked inside and remembered that he was looking for the prince, so he asked him if he could stay in the restaurant.

Cui Fu is looking forward to the king in it. The young man is still really relieved to himself. He leaves all the things on the cabinet to himself. Seeing that the business is so hot, he will definitely be happy if the prince is here. Thinking about it in his heart, he said with a simple smile on his face, "I'm afraid that even if the prince comes, I don't have his seat. It's okay if he doesn't come, otherwise I don't know how to arrange it."

He Li Bo laughed: "It's really the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west. Anyway, you just have to make money. The coal in your kitchen is ready for you, and you will be sent when the rain stops.

Cui Fu was about to ask about the delivery of coal. Fortunately, he asked the Jinxiu Building for at least three or five days of spare coal in advance, so he was not in a hurry to deliver it on this rainy day, so he said, "That's great. Please send it as soon as the rain stops. Don't delay our hot business." Another thing came to my mind: "Mr. He, do you know that Mr. Wang has been covering the teahouse all the time? Every day, this guest asks me, and I can only answer. I really don't know.

He Libo shook his head: "This man usually does things on his own. We don't know what he thinks."

Manager Cui laughed and said, "Yes, our son has a rule not to talk nonsense? He also said that it was the secret of the merchant duck chicken.

He Libo laughed and said, "Mr. Cui is deaf. You can't do without ducks and chickens in this restaurant. The prince said it's a business secret."

Cui took charge and said with a smile, "Yes, look at my old fool, business secrets, business secrets." He deliberately repeated, and he also laughed at himself for his old confusion in his heart.

He Libo talked to Cui Fu. Seeing that there were still guests who had dinner in the restaurant, Cui Fu greeted the shopkeeper. Cui Fu answered with an apologetic face: "Look at this rainy day, there are still seats waiting for dinner"

He Libo got on the horse and said, "I have to eat on rainy days. Haha, since you are not here, Manager Cui is busy with you. I'll go back to Meyer's house first." After saying goodbye, Cui Fu went back home.

There are few visitors on rainy days, and Meyer's house is not the same as usual today. He Libo came to the garden and saw Mr. Wang and his wife and Lu Shenyan in the gazebo in the lotus pond. The four people enjoyed the lotus and watched the rain, drank and chatted. It was so comfortable.

Lu Shenyan first came back to see He Libo, so he waved to He Libo: "It's rare to have a rainy day today. It's just right to come back."

Wang is really rare to be idle today. On this rainy day, the air is fresh, and the lotus flowers in the pool are buds. Sitting on the pavilion in the lotus pond, I can occasionally hear the reading sound of Cai Jing and Tong Xiao next door.

He Libo removed the bamboo hat and went to the stone bench by the stone table and sat down. Rouge Hu greeted the woman who was waiting under the porch to add a pair of bowls, chopsticks and wine cups. The three of them couldn't sit alone and drink together for a day. He Libo smiled and told the conversation with Cui Fu in front of Jinxiu Building.

Yuexia listened to He Liba's story and looked at his husband with worship. After listening, Wang shook his fan and laughed. Everything was expected.

Rouge Tiger added wine to their wine and said, "I'm going to tell you something funny, which is also related to this Jinxiu Building."

"The book boy in our house is the new Cai Jing. He can say the new dishes upstairs. When you meet delicious food, you can eat until your stomach is bulging. Once he ate until his stomach was swollen for two days. Every day when we look at his stomach, we know whether the chef is doing well today.

All the people present here laughed. Lu Shenyan said, "No wonder when I was in Jianzhou, I heard that this child was a foodie, but now I have seen it." Everyone was laughing. Wang looked at He Liba and didn't smile. It seemed that he was not listening to what they said, but distracted.

For a long time recently, Wang Bing has been busy with business and his own marriage. For He Libo and Lu Shenyan, who have been following him, he can rarely sit together to drink and chat like today. Thinking of this, he picked up his glass and said to He Libo Lu Shenyan, "I have never been idle. Now the business is getting bigger and bigger. Thanks to the help of the two of you, it is rare to have free time today. The three of us can sit together. I will toast you two for a glass."

Lu Shenyan raised his glass, and He Libo was looking at the lotus leaf in amaze. Lu Shenyan raised his tone and said, "Big man, I'm toasting you." Only then did He Li bowl come to his senses, picked up the wine glass and drank it all at once.

Rouge Hu patted Lu Shenyan and said, "It's so unruly. If Brother He marries in the future, you will always call him a big man. That's not good."

Lu Shenyan said with a hippie smile, "My wife's lesson is that Brother He is happy if he has something to say. When can he get married?"

He Libo blushed, and he hesitated as if he had something to say. He couldn't stand it. He said anxiously, "Didn't the eldest brother discuss with Xiao Lu in the past two days how to let Miss Li enter the house?"

Lu Shenyan saw his wife's quick mouth and smiled, "Brother, no wonder, my wife asked me what you have been muttering to me these two days. I have to say it directly."

After saying that, several people looked at the king together. Of course, the king understood that they were talking about Li Enxi. As for how He Li Bo found Miss Li, it was inconvenient to ask more questions. He said with a smile, "Miss Li's mental calculation is very fast. It's better to come and help Yuexia take care of the accounts."

He Liyu was a little worried that the excuse was not good, and said, "Well, this is not good. After all, it's a girl's house."

Rouge Hu smiled secretly, and Lu Shenyan asked, "What's your wife laughing at?" Yuexia also seemed to understand, and whispered in the king's ear, "Brother He is so pedantic, do you understand?"

What a smart person next to Wang, after listening to He Li Bo's general story, he dialed by the bottom of the month, he understood that Miss Li Enxi was waiting for He Li Bo to speak. However, He Li bowl didn't understand, so Miss Li couldn't live in the house. No one could make a decision except himself, so he said, "Congratulations to Brother He"

He Libo was a little confused. Wang said, "I'll decide this matter. General Manager Lu, Mrs. Lu, please vacate a partial courtyard for Brother He in Meyer's house as soon as possible. In addition, I went to my sister-in-law to propose marriage to the girl. As for the betrothal gifts and other matters, it is handled by my younger brother.

When He Li Bo heard this, he was surprised and happy. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Wang looked at him as a person who was usually very smart. At this time, he giggled stupidly and sighed in his heart: If He Li Bo had settle down here, it might not be a bad thing.

Xiao Lu squealed his teeth and said, "After listening to the story of Brother He just now, it seems that there is no reservation for the banquet."

He Li Bo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Li and I don't have so many relatives and friends here. We don't need to have such a banquet. I think I can decide this matter. Just our brothers can set up a table in the house."

Hearing what he said, Wang's side didn't object, so it's good. Lu Shenyan asked again, "Son, Yunxuan will open in a few days. The prince is not open to the public. What's the plan?

Wang side smiled and said, "Just do as I say. When Yunxuan is at his way, when Brother He's marriage is over, it is the time for the autumn examination. After autumn, I will leave for Xixia. At that time, I will entrust you two with a lot of effort.

Seeing him say so, He Libo and Lu Shenyan didn't ask much, but Wang said so, can't he participate in the scientific examination? Of course, Wang is not going to take the scientific examination. Coal farms, tea farms and Jinxiu Building do money-making business. Yunxuan does a famous business, not to mention that Wang wants to use this scientific examination to make his "Yunxuan" famous.

It's rare to steal half a day, watch the rain by the lotus pond, brothers talk about the beauty, and strategize in the heart
