In a private room in Changlai Restaurant, a well-dressed boy was having a meal. There were several dishes on the table in front of him, including Changlai Restaurant’s signature dish recently launched: steamed fish noodles and secret fish head soup.

The boy looked like he was about six or seven years old last year. There was a child standing beside him, pouring tea and changing dishes for him from time to time. He seemed to be a child servant. On the other side was a middle-aged man, dressed in an ordinary manner, watching the boy eat carefully.

Seeing the boy's eyes signaling to eat steamed fish with noodles, the boy first used a pair of silver chopsticks to hold a steamed fish piece into a small plate, and then carefully thorned it.

The middle-aged man stared at it seriously, for fear that the child would not be careful and missed the fish bones.

This young man was serving the young man, but there were other people in the room. A corner standing in the corner with his head down was not the shopkeeper who served the guests, but the Yuliang clerk Li Li.

The incident happened so suddenly. Just now, he just mentioned the word "water monster" and was interrupted by a passing boy and asked. Before Li Li could say anything more, he was caught by the other party's entourage.

Then Isolate him from the teenager.

Such a behavior is obviously a young man with a good status, and among his entourage, there are also subordinates from the county party committee to communicate with each other.

Li Li recognized the news, and the other party recognized Li Li, so he asked Li Li to follow the boy to go to the restaurant and waited honestly.

He also specifically explained: The other party's identity is unusual, and if there are any requests, you have to listen.

The other entourages of the boy are now waiting next door, with two strong men guarding the door, while Li Li's partner Wu Xiang is waiting outside.

Li Li knew that this young man was not very young and dared not act rashly. He stood up with his head down and listened with his ears in his ears.

The sound insulation effect of the private room was just like that, and the noise outside came in vaguely, but Li Li was not listening to the movement outside, but the movement in the room.

There was no obvious sound when this boy was having a meal!

When eating or eating, there was no sound of smacking the mouth; when drinking soup, there was no sound of smacking the mouth, there was no sound of smacking the mouth, there was no sound of smacking the mouth, and there was no speech or even instructing the child servant what to do.

When I eat and drink soup, I take it lightly, and I can hardly hear any obvious sound of chopsticks, spoons and dishes colliding.

Details show that this is a young man with extremely strict tutoring.

Even if you follow the table etiquette of later generations, drink soup without making a sound or smash your mouth, it can prove that a person has good dining qualities. In this era, young people who pay great attention to dining etiquette will probably not have a low family social status.

Li Li likes to observe a person's words, actions and other subtle details to judge the person's approximate situation, but now he cannot look up and stare at someone carefully. He can only rely on his hearing to figure out the other person's possible identity.

After composing other information, Li Li's results were very vague and clear: the other party should be an official, and as for what kind of official his father or elder in the family were, he was not clear.

After a while, after the young man finished his meal, the boy put away the dishes. The young man looked at Li Li and asked, "I just heard that the subordinates said, are you Yuliang's servant?"

Li Li, who stood with a sore waist and legs, felt difficult to listen to the other party's words because the other party's speech was not only childish, but also had a clear accent, which was a bit familiar.

He did not dare to delay and quickly replied: "The villain is Yuliang Li."

The other party asked again: "Then what happened to the water monster you mentioned just now?"

"Reminiscing to your husband, the villain is talking about a fishing hook, not that there are monsters in the water."

The boy frowned and began to think.

Li Li still lowered his head slightly and refused to look at the other party's eyes because according to his humble identity, this was a very rude behavior.

After a moment, the boy asked, "What kind of fish do you want to catch? Do you need to use a hook that looks like a water monster? Are you not afraid of scaring the fish away?"

Li Li replied: "Reply to Langjun, the fish hooks seen in people's eyes are like water monsters, and the fish hooks seen in fish's eyes are just fat food."

The boy asked back: "How can I know the joy of fish if I am not a fish?"

Regarding this kind of literary doubt, Li Li did not intend to make any "outstanding" answer: "Reply to Langjun, the little man has been fishing for generations, but he just knows that he can catch fish by doing this. As for what the fish thinks..."

"Anyway, fish like to eat bait, so it's absolutely right to do this."

The boy nodded and asked again: "What fish are you catching?"

Li Li didn't want to answer this question honestly, because it involved "technical secrets", so he vaguely said: "You can catch squids, carp, and crucian carp."

The other party continued to ask: "Then you come to this restaurant, it seems that you are selling fish to the store?"

Li Li continued to beat him: "What the Langjun said is that the villain fishes for the government every month, and the remaining fish is sold to the store to subsidize the household income."

"When you come back from fishing outside, you must pass by the fish market in the south of the city. However, you don't go to the fish market, but instead go to the near and far away to come here..." The boy pondered, his childish voice with an adult style.

The strong contrast made Li Li secretly think something was wrong.

"The silver carp and fish head soup that often comes to restaurants is very famous... It is said that the supply is in short supply, and the store will inevitably pay a lot of money to collect fish... Are you selling silver carp?"

Speaking of this, the boy beat the meal and said, "Haha, I understand, you are fishing for silver carp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man beside him whispered: "Mr., I just lost my composure."

"Uh...I...I understand." The young man, as if he was afraid of the middle-aged man, turned his attention back for a moment: "You are fishing for silver carp, right?"

Having come to this point, Li Li could only confess: "Yes, what the husband said."

The boy was overjoyed: "Okay, then you hand over the silver carp every day."

Li Li didn't know how to answer this inexplicable and a bit arrogant request. Whether he agreed or not, it seemed that the result would be very bad.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The villain is willing to serve the husband, but the officials and servants cannot be neglected, the county party committee..."

But I heard the boy say, "Don't shirk it, I have my own arrangements."

......

In the evening, Li Li was eating pancakes in the yard. In the afternoon, he wasted time. When he came back, the food prepared by the kitchen for the officials had been swept away, leaving only some rice grains and vegetable residue.

But Li Li was prepared for a long time. When he came out of Changlai Restaurant, he specially bought a few pancakes, divided into half of Wuxiang, and brought them back to eat.

Wu Xiang is not in service now and is not working for the government, so he has to find a place to stay in the city overnight, so he goes to an acquaintance. Li Li is not worried that his partner will not sleep well, but that he will be in trouble.

The boy I met today seemed to be quite famous. He actually asked him to catch silver carp and hand it over regularly, and the accompanying officials agreed.

Now that I returned to the county party committee, Li Li was waiting for the decision from above.

This matter is very troublesome, and Li Li was worried that Shangguan asked him to complete the monthly quota and also asked him to catch additional silver carp and hand over it.

But worrying is useless. He can only accept extra assignments in such matters and has no right to speak.

After a while, a minor official came to him and said that Wu Li Cao had ordered him.

After eating the cake in a few seconds, Li Li followed the little official and saw Wu Li Cao with a stern face.

The official and Cao were responsible for dispatching officials and servants, while the Wu official and Cao were punished by Li Li once a year ago. He was so scared that he might have a few years of life. Now, seeing Li Li standing in front of him, he would not have a good face.

But you have to say what you should say: "You are really troublesome! You are causing trouble all day long!"

"Now, okay! The above asks you to hand over silver carp regularly and ten every three days!"

"Haha, I'll specify you. The deadline is up and I can't pay it. I'll strip you down!"

Li Li was very thick-skinned. He heard the shouting and scolding, but he didn't feel any trouble in his heart. He just thought this person was going crazy.

Faced with the worst result, I muttered in my heart, but I couldn't stop nodding.

After Wu Li Cao finished speaking, he asked, "Assistant, the monthly quota of villains must be completed. Now the additional silver carp battle is probably not possible if you are exhausted."

Wu Licao sneered: "Then are you dead?"

"Uh, the villain is still alive."

"I'm not dead, right? If I'm not dead, I have to go fishing for me if I have a breath!"

"Yes, the villain knows." Li Li was too lazy to argue without any reason. He could not refuse the fish soldier who was sent to the extra fish, but this did not mean that he would do his job honestly.

Haha, add more, right? Then don’t blame me for making trouble again!

Lao Liu, Xiao Liu, you and your father and son have to be fooled by me!

Li Li sneered in his heart. He originally wanted to ask Liu Decai for the identity of the young man, but Liu Decai was not in the official office. Now that he saw Wu Li Cao sending him a service, he guessed it.

If you don’t say anything else, just say the accent. The boy’s accent is similar to the ‘Liu Ming Mansion’ in the court that day.

The accent of "Liu Mingfu" is said to be Jiankang, so Li Li judged that the young man was not a local, and perhaps from Jiankang, and it is very likely that he was the son or nephew of "Liu Mingfu".

A little guy who was a few years old also played extra pies for me, haha.

Li Li thought about walking out, but was stopped by Wu Li Cao: "Li Li, have you heard clearly what I said?"

"Little man..." Li Li was halfway through his words, and he quickly tried: "Little man was thinking about what he meant is that the villain was only responsible for catching silver carp in the future?"

After hearing Li Li's words, Wu Licao nodded. He was really afraid that Li Li would do something again this time. He felt that he might not have made the words clear just now, so he quickly emphasized:

"You remember clearly. From tomorrow on this month, you only need to catch silver carp and hand over ten every three days. As for the regular quota, you don't need to worry about it."

Li Li was happy when he heard this because he had the ability to efficiently catch silver carp (silk and carp). Now he is only responsible for catching silver carp, so he has plenty of time.

As for the silver carp that was handed over and was often taken to the restaurant to process it into silver carp head soup, it was not his business to make fish head soup by the official chef.

Although he complained that Wu Licao was not clear about his words just now, Li Li still smiled: "The villain understands... I just don't know, the regular amount for next month..."

Wu Licao waved his hand angrily: "Let's talk about it next month!"

Li Li smiled apologized, then quickly said goodbye, thinking while walking.

Xiao Liu?

Lao Liu is the son-in-law of the emperor, and Xiao Liu is the grandson of the emperor...

This is a child of an official and a wealthy man!

Can I fight for the ready-made opportunity?

Anyway, the little guy is easy to coax.

Li Li thought about it and gave up this idea.

First of all, there is a middle-aged man next to Xiaoliu. He looks like a "daily behavioral guidance", and like a shadow, he always corrects Xiaoliu's inappropriate words and behaviors, so he has no chance to get close to Xiaoliu.

Secondly, what is Xiao Liu's identity? What is his identity? A small official wants to get close to the rich man? Isn't this a dream?

The most important point is that Lao Liu probably suspected that he was the one who caused the book collection at the end of last year. The reason why he did not investigate strictly and went with the flow was nothing more than to make bad things happen.

Li Li felt that Lao Liu could not be a fool. If he approached Xiao Liu now and made some small moves, he would probably not be able to hide it from Lao Liu.

Can Lao Liu tolerate a minor official fooling his son? Maybe he will be in trouble if he gets angry when he is unhappy.

Therefore, Li Li felt that it was enough to fish with peace of mind, and saved time and found ways to make more money. This was the right way.

Thinking of this, Li Li almost laughed out loud.

Ten tails every three days? Do you know how many tails I can catch in a day, Xiao Liu?
