Chapter 18: Sitting on the ground and starting the price
Say do it, early the next morning, Li Hao rode a donkey egg to Lantian County, Lantian County belongs to the jurisdiction of Chang'an, although it is only a county seat, but because it is very close to Chang'an, an international metropolis, it is also very prosperous, more than some remote state cities.
Li Hao wanders around the city looking for business opportunities, but to his disappointment, most of the business here is not suitable for him, either the profit is too small, or the investment is too large.
After working hard for most of the day, his legs were cramping, and he didn't gain anything at all, Li Hao was very frustrated, and he could only tell the donkey egg full of pain: "Hey, stupid donkey, why do you say that I am so miserable, I have the ability to come from the future, and I am stunned to be dragged back by the funds, alas, if you continue to be so poor, it seems that I can only slaughter you and sell donkey meat barbecued pork to make money." ”
When the donkey egg heard this, he was immediately unhappy, staring at a pair of dead donkey eyes and despising Li Hao, his expression seemed to say: "You tell Lao Tzu again." ”
"Okay, just kidding, don't take it that seriously." Li Hao touched the donkey's head, and suddenly felt hungry, "Hey, stupid donkey, are you hungry." ”
Donkey Dan twisted his head to the side, ignoring him at all, Li Hao's hot face was attached to his cold buttocks, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, because he was used to it, and he happened to see a restaurant on the side, which looked quite classy, he hadn't been to a restaurant since he came to this world, according to his original plan, after he had enough funds, he planned to open a restaurant, with the cooking skills he brought, the business would be absolutely hot if he opened a restaurant, and the daily income was like playing, but now he doesn't have so much money.
Although this plan is a bit far, he still wants to go to the restaurant first to taste the dishes of the restaurant in Datang, so he led the donkey egg to the restaurant.
When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face, and did not look down on people because he was wearing cloth clothes, Li Hao asked him to lead his donkey to the stable to feed some millet and forage, and then went directly to the second floor of the restaurant.
This restaurant has a total of two floors, the first floor is the hall and the ordinary private room, the second floor is the small hall and the senior private room, also known as the private room, as for what kind of Jafa, Li Hao doesn't know, and then go in to see it when he has money.
It's not a meal at the moment, there are very few guests, there are only two tables of people on the second floor, Li Hao chose a seat next to the private room and sat down, the shopkeeper came to order for him, the names of the dishes are all written on the menu, although the ancient people like to hang the text, but the name of the dish is very straightforward, I saw that the menu is full of some: boiled mutton, braised lamb shank, braised carp, stewed chicken......
The price is marked under the name of each dish, the cheapest is only five yuan, and the most expensive is the roasted whole sheep, which is eighty yuan a catty.
The price of such a dish was completely within Li Hao's affordable range, he ordered four or five special dishes, asked for a pot of Sanle liquor, and then began a long wait.
As soon as the shopkeeper finished ordering food for him and went downstairs, there was a sound of knocking footsteps on the stairs, and then he saw another shopkeeper leading five teenagers up to the second floor.
The youngest of these five teenagers is estimated to be sixteen years old, and the oldest is in his early twenties, all of them are gorgeously dressed, wearing gold and jade, and at first glance they are some rich sons and brothers who do not do their jobs.
Li Hao is now short of money, and when he sees the rich, he naturally has to take a few more looks, only to see the youngest young man look at the environment of the restaurant, and ask dissatisfiedly: "Duhe, there are so many big restaurants in Chang'an, why do you have to bring me to such a small restaurant in Lantian County?" ”
Li Hao heard the word Du He, his heart was shocked, Du He is not famous in history, almost few people know, but Li Hao has long been familiar with the information of Tang Dynasty celebrities, and naturally knows that Du He is the son of Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui is one of the twenty-four heroes of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, named Cai Guogong, is a generation of famous ministers, but unfortunately the life is not long, Zhenguan died of illness in four years, Li Shimin abolished the dynasty for three days, and posthumously named Du Ruhui as a commonplace, and called "Chenggong".
In history, Du Ruhui has two sons, both of whom are descendants, the eldest son Du Gou, the second son Du He, Du Gou is calm, although he does not have much ability and action, but he can keep Du Ruhui's family background, but the second son Du He is a little unbearable, Du He is completely a gentleman, all day long with a gang of dogs and horses, walking fireworks and willow alleys, all kinds of unreliable, and finally because of participating in the rebellion of the prince Li Chengqian, he was given death.
Just when Li Hao was surprised, Du He, who was wearing a purple brocade shirt, said with a smile: "Bereavement, this is your lonely and unheard, although this drunken incense building is not big, but it is not famous, their roasted whole sheep is a must in Jingzhao, there is no smell, it is said that the cook is from Gaochang, the best at this, even in Chang'an, no restaurant dares to say that the mutton is better than this drunken fragrance building." ”
Li Hao was shocked when he heard the word "bereavement", and the youngest guy who dared to love was Fang Yiai, the cuckold king in history!
Fang Xuanling's eldest son is called Fang Yizhi, and the second son is called Fang Yiai, this Fang Yiai is also a gentleman's brother, he doesn't learn and has no skills, he was married to Princess Gaoyang by Li Shimin since he was a child, Princess Gaoyang has a domineering temperament, and after marrying Fang Yiai, she didn't abide by the woman's way, and actually fornicated with the monk.
Fang Yiai listened to Du He's words and was pleasantly surprised: "Is this true? Then I'm going to have a good taste today......"
During the conversation, a group of five people entered the private room, the sound insulation effect of the private room was average, and their voices were not low, Li Hao could still faintly hear their conversation through the wall.
There are many heroes who have contributed to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the reproductive ability of these heroes is good, which has led to a lot of the second generation of officials and the second generation of Jue in Chang'an.
However, Du He and Fang Yiai are also the most uncompetitive group of the second generation of the Jue, they are not the eldest sons, they have no right to inherit the title, and they have all been named loose officials by Li Shimin, what is a loose official, that is, the kind that only takes a salary and does not do things, they are so brave and ruthless, they do not learn and have no skills, they have nothing to do all day long, but their hearts are higher than the sky, so they are in groups of three and four in a party to mess around, as long as they are not too out of line, the court and the government are too lazy to pay attention to them.
Today, Du He is the east, invite a group of fox friends and dog friends to come here to eat and drink, in addition to Fang Yiai, there are three people, all of whom are children of Guanlongmen valve, anyway, they are all idlers.
Li Hao is not interested in these second lords, he now wants to make money in his mind, but these guys are talking too loudly in the private room, and the content of the conversation is all passed into Li Hao's ears without a word, and he is already worried about it, so he is even more irritable.
After a while, I saw the shopkeeper serving dishes to the private room one after another, Li Hao was suddenly unhappy, the dishes he ordered first, one had not been served yet, but the dishes they ordered arrived first, Li Hao pulled a shop guy and asked why, and the explanation given by the shop guy made him powerless to refute: people are VIPs and have priority.
"Isn't there money?" Li Hao didn't grunt angrily, and he no longer entangled with the shopkeepers.
After a while, Li Hao's dish came, the wine also arrived, tasted it, the taste was average, the roasted whole sheep was really good, very delicious, in his previous life, he had eaten such a good roasted whole sheep in Xinjiang, it seems that Du He did not brag.
The delicious mutton finally made Li Hao's mood much better, alas, at this moment, he heard Du He in the private room suddenly propose a wine order, each person chanted a poem, the worst or the poem can not be recited, even if it is lost, the person who loses will not only be punished for drinking, but also responsible for paying.
Fang Yiai was not happy when he heard this, today he said that it was Du He's treat, he suddenly came out like this, this is not obviously trying to repay the account, he just wanted to object, and the other three children of the Guanlongmen valve family applauded, these three people have read a lot of books, although they can't export into chapters, but it's still okay to improvise a few bad poems, as for Du He, although he doesn't learn and don't know how to do it, but he has already prepared, but Fang Yiai's eyes are black, and he also realizes that Du He is deliberately pit himself.
The relationship between them is actually very fragile, and it's too normal to occasionally pit their teammates, but Fang Yiai is very disgusted with Du He's behavior, if it's just a meal, he doesn't care, but it's a shame if he can't chant poetry, his father is Fang Xuanling, the head of the civil official, as the son of the first civil official, he lost poetry to others, which makes him how to mix in the circle in the future!
For this bullshit poetry and drinking order, Fang Yiai's heart refused, but the situation was stronger than people, and the four of them agreed, and he couldn't object to it alone, so he could only accept it with a black face, and at the same time secretly searched his intestines and scraped his stomach to see if he could think of one or two poems.
However, when the book is used, there is little hatred, and Fang Yiai usually neglects to study, and he is about to scratch his intestines, and he can't think of half a poem.
Just when he was thinking about the poems, the three Guan Long disciples had already chanted a poem one after another, and now it was Du He's turn, Du He had already prepared and chanted out the poems that he was familiar with at home, and he was also praised by the three Guan Long children.
Li Hao wanted to vomit when he heard it outside, what a barren thing this is, so disgusting that Lao Tzu couldn't eat it, and dared to say that this was poetry! Is it a poem to put the words of classical Chinese together?
Du He proudly accepted the praise of Guan Long's disciples, and shouted in his mouth: "I'm ashamed to be ashamed, I'm not a shallow learner, this poem is also obtained by chance, and I got it by chance." "It's a dazzling pretense.
Then, Du He began to challenge Fang Yiai: "Brother Yiai, the four of us have recited a poem one after another, and now it's your turn." ”
Fang Yiyi is in a hurry, he has half a word in his mind, where did the poem come from, isn't this reaching out to the big girl to have a child - it's embarrassing.
Fang Yiai is not stupid, his eyes rolled, his inspiration moved, and he suddenly covered his stomach: "Ouch, I ate mutton too violently just now, it's all upset." ”
Du He laughed dryly, he already knew his routine, "toilet escape", the old trick, he didn't use it, so he said: "It's okay, it just so happens that I'm going to the thatched house, just go with you." ”
"Huh?" Fang Yiai was dumbfounded, this is not right, Du He, this kid is going to be killed?
In their world, there is an unwritten rule, you can let others not get off the stage, but as long as people go to the toilet, it means that they admit defeat, everyone can stop in moderation, be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future, Du He obviously broke the rules this time.
Fang Yi secretly scolded Du He in love, but he didn't say much, and went to the thatched house with Du He.
Li Hao heard everything clearly outside, and a clever plan suddenly popped up in his mind: Fang Yiai can't chant poetry, I will, I can sell poetry to him at a high price!
So, when they went downstairs, Li Hao also followed, and turned to the courtyard of the restaurant, the corner is the thatched house, the yard is empty, and the thatched house is naturally quite large.
Li Hao swaggered in, only to see Fang Yiai circling in the toilet.
Li Hao walked up with a smile on his face, patted Fang Yiai's shoulder, Fang Yiai was annoyed, raised his hand and pushed his hand away, and said angrily: "What are you doing!" ”
Li Hao made a silent gesture and whispered in his ear: "I have a poem here, it is definitely a good poem, if you want it, I can sell it to you." ”
Fang Yiai's eyes lit up with excitement when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked in a low voice, "How much?" ”
Li Hao raised three fingers, and Fang Yiai asked, "Sanguan?" ”
Li Hao smiled and shook his head, and Fang Yiai asked again: "Thirty times?" ”
Li Hao shook his head again, and didn't let him guess, and took the initiative to offer: "Three hundred." ”
"...... you" Fang Yiai glared and wanted to scream, but thinking that Du He was still outside, he lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "You rob money!" , how can a poem be worth three hundred times! ”
Li Hao's smile remained unchanged, but he suddenly raised another finger: "Now it's four hundred." ”
"You...... You're sitting on the ground! "Fang Yiai is angry, but he can't scream, so painful and anxious.
