Chapter 75: A Scare at Every Step

Li Baisong pretended to know nothing. "Second brother, do you want me to wipe your sweat? Are you okay? Second brother, I think the flower house looks quite interesting. I'll come with you when you deliver the meat next time."

"No! No need!" Li Laoer felt as if he was facing a great enemy, and the villain in his heart was screaming and jumping around.

"Little brother, that's not a good place. You can't go there, okay? If mother knew, little brother, could you please not tell her what Manager Tian said? You're still young. No, no, no, even when you become successful, you can't come here. Mother would beat me to death if she knew I led you astray."

"How could that be? Second brother didn't go in to look for the young lady, or had he been there before?" Li Baisong stared at Li Laoer, not missing any details on Li Laoer's face.

Li Laoer's eyes evaded, "I, I don't have any money, why would I go to a place like that?"

"Okay, I'll go back and tell mom that you've hidden money and visited a brothel before."

Li Laoer was shocked. He jumped up and grabbed Li Baisong's arm. He was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Little brother! Don't talk nonsense, I haven't been there! This is my first time going in. Before, I just passed by the intersection and sold some rouge and powder to the girls inside. If you don't believe me, I can swear."

At most, he just thought that when he made a lot of money in the future, he would go to a brothel to have some fun.

Three taels of silver were not enough to find a courtesan, so he wanted to find the most beautiful one in the brothel.

Otherwise I always feel sorry for his money.

And then... three or two were gone.

Li Baisong's eyes dimmed slightly. It's not that his second brother didn't want to, but he just didn't have the conditions yet.

There will be more and more money in the family in the future, so it is better to prepare for some things.

Li Laoer, who still didn't know what Li Baisong was thinking, was still anxiously swearing to explain.

"Second brother, I believe it."

Just six words, like the sound of nature.

Li Laoer wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Little brother, then you go back?"

"Mom knew I was coming with you, so she must have thought of this a long time ago."

"ah?"

"Mom, believe me." Li Baisong said this lightly and walked away.

Li Laoer: “?!! #&%!”

When Li Yulan and Li Laosan finally saw someone, they were both so tired of waiting.

"Brother, you are finally here!" Li Yulan rushed over and hugged Li Baisong's arm.

"What's wrong, Fourth sister?" Li Baisong was much gentler when treating the little sister who was like a younger sister.

"Little brother, I went to Jufulou and gave them a taste of the braised meat. However, the shopkeeper said that if they didn't sell the house, they didn't have to go."

"What?!" Li Lao Er refused decisively, "No! I don't agree!"

"Yulan, Third Brother, you didn't agree, did you? I've already agreed with people here that we will deliver ten more kilograms of braised meat every day. If those restaurants buy the recipe, they will definitely not let us sell it. What else can I give to them? They will take the note and sue us at the government. They will definitely be punished. You two can't do this!" No wonder Yulan insisted on bringing braised meat with her. I thought she just wanted to set up a small stall, but I didn't expect that she wanted to do big business.

Li Laosan replied, "No, second brother, my younger sister and I were driven away. We didn't agree to sell the house."

"That's good, that's good." Li Laoer patted his chest. Yulan has grown some brains. That's good!

He was scared to death!

Today is really a day of shock!

"Come on, come on, follow me to the teahouse. Let's write another note and go home quickly. It will be dark soon after the sun sets." Li Laoer pulled Li Yulan with one hand and Li Baisong with the other.

The four siblings quickly arrived at the teahouse, and the owner was about to close the shop. "You're here just in time."

Li Laoer wiped the sweat off his face and nodded repeatedly, "Boss is right. We ran all the way here, just in case we were slow and delayed Boss."

"Come in, the receipts are ready, just sign your signature." The boss smiled and his eyes swept over Li Laosan and Li Baisong, whom he had never seen before, and finally fell on Li Baisong.

The teahouse owner was a little more friendly towards the scholar, smiling and making a gesture of invitation.

Li Baisong bowed and then stepped inside.

The two parties sat down, and the waiter who was about to get off work was forced to work overtime and poured a pot of tea.

"Boss, do you have any plates? Why don't we eat and talk at the same time?"

"You brought some dried meat again?"

"Today's dried meat hasn't been made yet, so what we brought is braised meat." After saying this, Li Laoer took Li Yulan's basket.

"Look, this is another kind of meat we cook at home. You can eat it cold, or you can steam it. It smells even better when it's hot."

"Really? Then heat it up?"

"Third brother and fourth sister, you guys go together. Heat it up and cut it on a plate before serving it."

The teahouse owner glanced at Li Baisong but did not stop him.

After a while, the aroma of braised meat wafted from the backyard. At first, it was just a slight wisp, but after a while, the aroma became stronger.

"It smells good, but this is a teahouse, and this aroma would be better with wine."

There are only wine shops in Guangyi County, which are places with simple furnishings that only sell their own wine and do not provide wine or food.

"You only have taverns in the capital. I heard that there are Hu girls performing the Huxuan dance in the taverns in the capital."

The shopkeeper became fascinated as he spoke.

The braised meat was served quickly.

Li Bosong smiled and said, "I'm sorry for delaying the shopkeeper's rest time. This braised meat is a small apology. Shopkeeper, please try it and see how it tastes."

The shopkeeper picked up his chopsticks and said, "I may not buy it even if I taste it."

His place is a place for drinking tea and listening to books. The rich aroma of meat mixed in makes it seem more vulgar, and the lack of elegance is tantamount to damaging his reputation.

Li Bosong smiled, "Even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have a sense of justice. Boss, just enjoy the food without worry."

"Okay, brother is a straightforward person."

The shopkeeper picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece of braised meat. It made his mouth water, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, with a long aftertaste.

"Yes, it is indeed a good thing."

"Boss, please try it again if you like." Li Baisong made a gesture of invitation.

Under Li Bosong's sincere enthusiasm, the shopkeeper quickly finished the plate of braised meat piece by piece.

Looking at the shiny plate, the shopkeeper covered his face and said embarrassedly, "Excuse me, excuse me."

Li Lao Er showed an expectant look, "Boss, look at this braised meat."

"Second brother, the aroma of braised meat and tea clashes with each other and is not suitable for the shopkeeper." Li Baisong said with a smile.

Li Lao Er: "Ah?"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and laughed, "Okay, okay, okay, brother, you are a wise man. Your braised meat tastes really good. My temple here is too small, it should be given a bigger place to display its works."

"You're too polite, boss." Li Baisong clasped his fists.

The two of them exchanged a few words, and the shopkeeper smiled and took out the prepared note and handed it over, "Brother, take a look, is there anything I missed?"

Li Baisong took it and read it carefully, word by word.

The content above was similar to the one in the flower shop just now. After checking it, Li Baisong pointed to a place and said, "In the event of natural disasters or man-made disasters, it can be postponed for one or two days. Please add this sentence, shopkeeper."
