Courtyard: The villain of the Mandate of Heaven, the death of the beast

Chapter 179: Inheriting Mengde’s Will! Help Xu Huizhen!.

Inside the tavern.

There was no one, only the curtain of the back hall, shining with a faint light. It was 9:30 p.m., and if it was a normal time,

At this time, there are occasional guests drinking the last few glasses of the day. But today, the lady of the tavern closed early,

Before six o’clock, on the grounds of physical discomfort, a closed sign was hung on the door.

Li Guoxiong gently walked to the back kitchen, and the scene he saw was completely different from the word closing at the door. The fire is still burning, and the six-tiered steamer above exudes an enticing aroma.

“Ahem.”

With Li Guoxiong’s cough, there was a sound of footsteps in the back hall further behind the kitchen.

Xu Huizhen opened the curtain, her eyes were both happy and a little puzzled.

Li Guoxiong explained: “The door of the tavern did not have a latch, and I opened it with a gentle push. ”

“Didn’t I turn it off….”

Xu Huizhen frowned slightly, she remembered to close it, and immediately realized that now was not the time to think about whether to close the door, and immediately said: “Oh. No, I deliberately left the door for you, didn’t I make an appointment today? ”

Li Guoxiong nodded, pulled over a chair and sat down. That’s right, today I really made an appointment with Xu Huizhen, and after capturing Zhang Mazi and Cai Quanwu, Li Guoxiong often came to the tavern to eat,

After coming and going, I became familiar with Xu Huizhen’s relationship. However, because Li Guoxiong has always come to eat here as a guest, Xu Huizhen is very embarrassed,

This was a special invitation, saying that he would show his unique craft to thank Li Guoxiong’s arrest of Zhang Mazi. Li Guoxiong agreed on the spot and came here on the agreed tonight.

“Brother Xiong, you sit first, I’ll go and close the door.”

Xu Huizhen walked to the door, but found that the door had been closed. She pulled out the latch, plugged it back in, pushed the door, made sure it was closed, and turned to the back kitchen.

Li Guoxiong also came out and sat on the chair in the hall.

“Brother Xiong, go to the back, don’t be in the hall.”

When Li Guoxiong heard this, he looked at Xu Huizhen strangely. What’s the situation?

Is this widow so thirsty?

Although I came to eat a few times, it was relatively cooked.

However, just came tonight, and before eating, go to the back hall?

Xu Huizhen seemed to realize something, and explained: “Brother Xiong, don’t think about it, I’m thinking about the closing sign hanging outside the door, if passers-by see that the lights are still on in the house, what if they knock on the door and want to come in to eat?” ”

“So, let’s go to the back hall to eat, besides, my cooking skills, generally do not take out, must not let others smell, otherwise come to eat every day in the future, name me to stir-fry, must not exhaust me.”

Hearing this explanation, Li Guoxiong nodded.

“Well, so it is, I see.”

After speaking, Li Guoxiong reached out to carry the steamer and wanted to help. Xu Huizhen was holding Li Guoxiong.

“Brother Xiong, you helped me catch the rogue Zhang Mazi last time, I haven’t specifically thanked you, I invited you to eat today, how can I let you personally serve the dishes, come, I will take you to the back hall to sit first, and leave the rest to me!”

Xu Huizhen said, leading Li Guoxiong to the back hall. When he arrived at the back hall, Li Guoxiong learned about the architectural structure of this tavern.

This Xu Huizhen really deserves to be a person who does big business in the original work, has family experience, and is worthy of being a family that has been doing business for hundreds of years. The back hall of this tavern,

It’s almost up to the backyard of the courtyard.

Subtracting the room that serves as a back kitchen between the hall and the back hall, there are five more houses in the entire back hall.

The southernmost and largest one is the residence of Xu Huizhen and her daughter. The middle two rooms are used as warehouses for tables, chairs and various sundries. The two rooms next to the back kitchen are used as private dining rooms, each with a large table, enough for more than a dozen people to eat. seemingly

Xu Huizhen’s tavern is really not small at all. In this era, it can also be regarded as a medium-sized hotel.

After all, there are ten tables in the hall, and counting the two single rooms, there are twelve large tables, and if you squeeze it, you can make up a few more tables. In this way, there are more than 100 seats.

Moreover, the area of the back kitchen is not small, in addition to the stove in use, there are three empty stoves. Now the business is small, but Xu Huizhen doesn’t have the energy to be big.

Knowing the true scale of the tavern, Li Guoxiong decided in his heart that he must have a good relationship with Xu Huizhen, which can be regarded as the starting point for making a brand in the future!

Li Guoxiong thought of the rice qi in the future life and something, and he felt anger in his heart. Spread some butter and roast it on the fire, is that the chef?

Really than technology, the country casually take out a dish, you can hang butter, hard grill these operations. Since you have lived again and come to this world, you must make your own set of standards.

Li Guoxiong sat down and tasted the clear green tea. After a while, Xu Huizhen quickly served all the prepared dishes.

“This is Kung Pao chicken, grab fried fish fillet, three non-stick, casserole white meat…”

Listening to Xu Huizhen’s introduction, Li Guoxiong also knew which Xu family’s craft was.

These are the famous dishes of the old Kyoto people, and although they do not constitute independent cuisines, they are all classics. From these dishes, you can see Xu Huizhen’s intentions.

“Brother Xiong, this is my family’s own wine, called Spring Bu Pour, you can taste it.”

Xu Huizhen rolled up her sleeves and sat next to Li Guoxiong to personally sell wine.

“Oh? Why is it called spring does not fall? ”

“My dad said so, and I don’t know why, but from the notes left by my dad, it is said that the secret recipe for this wine is rice grain in spring…”

Then, it was Xu Huizhen’s explanation. She said her family’s ancestral winemaking technique.

Li Guoxiong also said a few words from time to time, which made Xu Huizhen understand many problems encountered in winemaking. Once the chatterbox opens,

Just like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, it is difficult to end it for a while.

Li Guoxiong drank a lot, or he couldn’t get drunk at all.

This makes Xu Huizhen, who took the initiative to invite and accompany her, difficult to say not to drink. And the wine in the tavern has a lot of stock, and Xu Huizhen can’t end drinking with no wine. In this way, the two drank while talking.

Li Guoxiong looked down and unconsciously it was already twelve o’clock, and it was time to leave. Just as he was about to stand up, Li Guoxiong found that his arm was hugged by Xu Huizhen.

At this time, Xu Huizhen’s cheeks were red, her eyes were confused, and she was almost drunk. If Li Guoxiong wants to do something, he can do whatever he wants.

However, Li Guoxiong believes that although he has Cao Mengde’s ambitions, he will not take advantage of people’s dangers. Suddenly, Li Guoxiong felt that the hands holding his arms became harder and harder.

Xu Huizhen was confused, pinched Li Guoxiong’s arm hard and muttered: “Brother Xiong, I thank you for catching Zhang Mazi, but how did you catch Cai Quanwu!” ”

“Although he is Yanzi Li San, he has washed his hands in the golden basin for many years! Do you know, in the past two years, only Cai Quanwu has really helped me, I am a widow, without the help of men, how can I open this tavern?”

……

…

The so-called drinking spit out the truth, in fact, is not, on the contrary, the possibility of drinking bragging is greater. However, drinking can indeed make people emboldened, and say things that they usually dare not say, which is similar to spitting out the truth.

Li Guoxiong knew that Xu Huizhen did have some opinions on his arrest of Cai Quanwu.

“Boss Xu, do you think the thieves who washed their hands in the golden basin should not be caught? When he stole things in his early years, didn’t he kill anyone! Cai Quanwu was shot, it was the retribution he deserved! ”

“I also know that it is difficult for you to open this tavern alone, but as long as you want, someone will be willing to help you!”

“Huh!”

Xu Huizhen’s boldness was even greater, and she lay on Li Guoxiong’s arm.

“Those who want to help me are not all fancying me and this tavern, so I don’t let them help me, I don’t give them the opportunity to get me and the tavern!”

Li Guoxiong also knew what Xu Huizhen meant.

She is a widow, or a widow with superior appearance, stature, character, and ability, and more importantly, she still has such an ancestral tavern in this Zhengyangmen!

It can be described as a rich woman!

Although as a businessman, the composition at this time is not good.

However, as long as you can get this widow, it will definitely not be a loss!

Li Guoxiong comforted: “Boss Xu, as long as you do business with your heart, I can help you.” ”

“Well, I believe you, and I’m happy too!”

Xu Huizhen leaned her head on Li Guoxiong’s shoulder and shook her head and said.

She suddenly raised her head again, her eyes full of resentment: “However, you can help me in opening the store, but you can’t help me in other ways.” ”

“In other ways, I can help you.”

Li Guoxiong emphasized again.

“Brother Xiong, do you think I call you Brother Xiong, you are brother, are you older than me? In fact, you are my brother, how can you help me, you can’t help me at all! Okay, my sister has drunk enough today, you go back. ”

After speaking, Xu Huizhen held the table with both hands, propped herself up, and staggered to the door.

Suddenly, she stumbled and fell forward.

Li Guoxiong immediately stood up and caught Xu Huizhen.

“What, why is there a pebble on the ground?” I remember sweeping the floor every day? ”

Xu Huizhe was very dissatisfied.

Li Guoxiong said with a smile: “It seems that I fell out of my pocket.” ”

“Poof.”

Xu Huizhen smiled dumbly: “Look, brother, are you still helping me?” You got me into trouble, and it almost knocked me down..”

“But I hugged you who almost fell, and I also helped you.”

Li Guoxiong said, and his hands began to be dishonest.

Xu Huizhen was already drunk, and just lying on Li Guoxiong’s shoulder, he also wanted to get closer to Li Guoxiong. After all, Li Guoxiong is too handsome, and Xu Huizhen is a widow without a man,

He has long been deeply attracted to Li Guoxiong.

The reason why she struggled to stand up and wanted Li Guoxiong to go back as soon as possible was that Xu Huizhen had realized that she had to separate from Li Guoxiong, otherwise she couldn’t bear it! But

At this moment, she was actually held by Li Guoxiong, and Li Guoxiong’s hands happened to hold the place where she should not touch.

“Male… Brother Xiong… You go, I have to rest. ”

“Okay, I’ll take Boss Xu to rest, this can be regarded as you helping you.” Saying that, Li Guoxiong picked up Xu Huizhen by the waist and walked to the bedroom. ”

“Nope… No way… No way! ”

Xu Huizhen struggled, but whispered, “Go to the third room.” Whatever”. ”
