Chapter 192 Old friends reunite
[Today, Lao Gao has something to do, only two updates, no updates at noon, everyone will forgive]
The two of them said and walked, and after a moment they arrived at the store. Manager Wu had been paying attention to them for a long time. He greeted him and smiled and said, "The little boss is finally back!"
When Li Yanqing heard his Tangyin accent, he couldn't help but feel very kind and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wu knows me?"
"How many people don't know Jieyuan in our Xiangzhou?"
Manager Wu is very slow in speaking and is very good at flattering. He is not exaggerated, but he is always just right.
Li Yanqing also fell in love with him all of a sudden. Seeing that the store was full of women, even the client was a young woman, only the shopkeeper, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the shopkeeper lives in the pile of makeup every day."
"Haha! This has been like this for more than thirty years. I'm used to it. Women! As long as you praise her for being handsome, she will be very happy, but you must be sincere and not talk nonsense. For example, if you grow fat, you praise her for being handsome and thin, you praise her for being a fairy figure in a flying swallow. If you really can't stand anything, you praise her for being prosperous and having a husband. Life is not easy for everyone, just to be happy. Why do we ruin the mood of our guests?"
Li Yanqing gave a thumbs up when he heard this. The shopkeeper's words were considered to have passed the formal interview with him.
"Shopkeeper, go and do your business! I will go to Taixue later. I will not ask about the matter here often in the future. If there is any problem, you can discuss it with my father."
Li Yanqing's implication is to give the shopkeeper a reassurance, and he will not interfere with the operation of the store.
"Thank you for your trust!"
Li Yanqing was asking about Wang Gui and the others' situation when suddenly he heard someone shouting behind him: "Isn't that Lao Li? Lao Li is back!"
When Li Yanqing turned around, he saw Wang Gui, Tang Huai and Yue Fei running from the bridge. Li Yanqing was so happy that he was about to explode. Finally, he saw these guys. He also ran up and hugged everyone warmly. Wang Gui smiled and punched him in the shoulder, "When will you come back?"
"I just came back and haven't entered the house yet! How do you know I'm back?"
Tang Huai smiled and said, "We don't know if you are back, we'll go for a meal and just pass by here."
"That's God's will! I didn't have supper either. What do you think you should do?"
"Then bring some cakes to you!" Yue Fei said seriously.
The four of them laughed together.
Li Yanqing quickly handed the horses and items to Tiezhu and asked him to send them back to the mansion. He wanted to explain to him a few more words. Wang Gui was already impatient and hooked his neck, "Let's go!"
Wang Gui's actions were a little reckless, which caught Li Yanqing off guard, and he staggered and almost fell and fought.
"Boy, have you drunk too much?"
Li Yanqing punched him in the back, and Wang Gui ran away with a laugh.
Li Yanqing chased after more than ten steps. Seeing Wang Gui running away, he simply hooked Yue Fei's neck, stretched out his other hand to hook Tang Huai's neck, and held them to laugh and said, "You don't know, what I've experienced this month? You must not believe it."
It was not until this moment that Li Yanqing felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart. He seemed to have returned to his innocent era, and everything was so beautiful.
...........
The four of them came to Xiwasi, Yujie, which is the closest to Xinqiao. It is only a few hundred steps through a small street in Xinqiao. It is slightly smaller than Xiwasi, but although the sparrows are small, they are all complete with all the internal organs. The food shops in the Wasi are dense, and various special snack shops are next to each other. Under the fierce competition, all kinds of delicacies have achieved the ultimate.
The four of them sat down in a tavern called "Gaopian Little Wine". This small shop is also quite distinctive. It only sells wine and wants to eat something. The bartender can buy it on his behalf, and only adds a little errand fee. This tavern actually treats all the snack shops in the Wassie as its kitchen, and the owner plots very smartly.
“Let’s sit here!
Tang Huai grabbed a table in front of the window. Tang Huai, who had always been silent, was very active at this time. He unfolded a new gold-painted folding fan and said with a smile: "You can see the Cuju competition in the greenhouse here. Zhang Tuanzi will appear today!"
Wang Gui curled his lips and said, "If I had known you wanted to come to Cuju, we wouldn't have come here. What's the point of Cuju? It would be better to go to Dongwasi, Yujie to listen to music."
Li Yanqing knew that Tang Huai was a fan of Cuju in his hometown. Among the four, he played Cuju the best and often represented Xiaohe Township to compete in the county. It was normal for him to be obsessed with Cuju in the capital.
But what puzzled Li Yanqing was Wang Gui, who was also a Cuju fan. Why did he suddenly become disgusted with Cuju today?
Yue Fei smiled and revealed the answer to Li Yanqing, "One of these two people is a supporter of Hongqiao team and the other is a supporter of Xueshan team. Not long ago, Hongqiao team lost to Xueshan team, so Gui Ge'er has been resentful. Tonight, Xueshan team wants to play here, so Gui Ge'er is a little unhappy."
"That's it!"
Wang Gui muttered, "That Zhang Tuanzi looks like an egg, but there are still people who admire him, and I can't figure it out!"
"What did you say!"
Tang Huai slapped the table and was furious, and shouted straight at his neck: "If you have a genital, please say it again."
Several tables next to him looked here, with dissatisfied eyes in his eyes. Li Yanqing quickly advised: "Two good brothers, give me this face today, sit down and drink, and you can have enough fun when you go back!"
Yue Fei also persuaded him a few times before the four of them sat down. At this time, a bartender ran over and said with a smile: "What do you want to drink and eat?"
Wang Gui knocked on the table and said, "Four bottles of wax stewed rice, the dishes are the same. After the meal, we will give us four cups of iced five-flavor sauce!"
"Okay!"
The bartender shouted loudly to the downstairs: "Four old guests on the eighth table on the second floor, four bottles of tiled roast, old eight styles, four cups of iced five sauces prepared!"
"Four people sit slowly, I'll go and make some tea for you!"
Just as the bartender was about to leave, Tang Huai glanced at the empty stadium outside the window and asked in confusion: "Time seems to have passed, why hasn't the Cuju competition started yet?"
"Oh! I don't know if Zhang Tuan'er is not feeling well today, and the game has been postponed until the day after tomorrow."
"Ah! What's wrong with him?" Tang Huai asked with concern.
Wang Gui from the opposite side curled his lips and couldn't help but express his opinions, but Li Yanqing glared at him fiercely, and he swallowed the words back.
The bartender lowered his voice and said, "I heard that he played against Gao Yanei yesterday and won Gao Yanei. He was beaten up by Gao Yanei. He had to be kept for at least three days."
"Bastard!" Tang Huai was immediately indignant when he heard that his idol was beaten by the powerful and cursed with gritted teeth.
The bartender smiled and left. At this time, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "Do you know Niu Gao?"
"You mean that bull black charcoal! Of course it's very familiar."
Wang Gui smiled and said, "He came to apologize to me, and said that we would not meet again after drinking with you. He was going to come today, but a fellow villager was sick and a group of people went to visit him. If he knew you were back, he would definitely come tonight, but next time!"
Yue Fei calculated the time and sighed: "There will be at least nine days to wait next time."
"It seems that you are very strict with yourself and are not allowed to come out casually."
"Of course!"
Wang Gui raised his chin proudly and said, "It's like martial arts! Just like the army, it's not as free and unconventional as your Taixue School."
Li Yanqing knocked him on the head with chopsticks and scolded, "Why did you make any progress after training for three months? You are still so slick!"
Tang Huai sneered, "This is called a dog that can't be changed to eat."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Gui's sharp eyes had already killed him to the point of being completely killed. Tang Huai thought of the 'news that Zhang Tuanzi was sick' just now, and Wang Gui did not mock him, so he immediately changed his words: "This is called the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change."
Yue Fei smiled beside him and said, "Actually, it's not that strict. We can come out every day some time ago. In the past two days, Taiwei Tong is coming to inspect martial arts, so he tightened his strength all of a sudden and it would be better if the limelight is over."
Li Yanqing instinctively touched a pack of hard letters in his arms, and thought to himself, 'It turns out that Tong Guan has come back.'
At this time, the bartender brought wine and food. Everyone filled the wine. Li Yanqing raised his glass and smiled: "Cheers to our first dinner in Beijing!"
Everyone laughed. It was the first time they were drinking in the capital. "Cheers!"
Everyone drank the wine and began to raise their chopsticks to eat.
After drinking half a pot, each person had hunger and a little bit of fun in his stomach. At this time, Wang Gui burped and patted his stomach and said, "Old Li, you are still great! In just three months, he actually opened a rouge workshop. The business is still doing so well. He makes money every day. Everyone is envious. Lao Tang still wants to benefit from your fortune, Lao Tang, right?"
Wang Gui's temper is typical of "coming like wind and fire, going like clouds," just now he was like fighting a cock with Tang Huai, but in a blink of an eye he became a brother again.
Fortunately, everyone got used to it and didn't find it strange. Tang Huai's face turned red. He wanted to discuss this with Li Yanqing in private, but Wang Gui's big mouth shook it out.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Tang Huai muttered.
"Tang, just say whatever you have!" Li Yanqing poured Tang Huai a glass of wine and said with a smile.
"Actually it's not me, it's my uncle. He heard that Baoyanzhai was run by your father, so he also wanted to open a Baoyanzhai branch in Anyang. He had already written a few letters to me and asked me to tell him about this. I just want to wait for you to come back."
Tang Huai’s uncle is Tang Zhengzong, and he has taken good care of them since he was a child. Anyway, they will open branches in Xiangzhou sooner or later, so it would be better to give Tang Huai this face.
Li Yanqing smiled and said, "No problem, I agree and ask Uncle Tang to come to my father for specific discussion."
Tang Huai jumped up with joy, "I will write a letter to go home tomorrow!"
At this time, Yue Fei smiled and said, "Old Li, tell us about your trip to Jiangnan! There is no need to say anything about the secrets involved, just talk about some interesting things."
Li Yanqing really couldn't tell them about Zhu Xie. He thought for a while and said, "I met an extremely powerful guy in Suzhou, who is the most skilled martial arts person I have ever met."
