Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 18: Landlord


The popularity of    gnawed chicken continued. On the second day, when the gate of Xishifang opened, many people went straight to Zuixianlou. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the places in Zuixianlou were occupied. The people who could not enter outside the Zuixianlou gate began to line up.

  "Brother Wang, are you here to eat this chicken too?"

   A short young man in white clothes saw that the one in the front row turned out to be an acquaintance, so he chatted.

  "Yes, after Chen Erhu ate the gnawed chicken in the drunk fairy building yesterday, he blew it with me all afternoon. His Chen family is a nouveau riche and dare to come to my house to show off. I can't afford it. Chewing chicken." Wang's face was proud.

   "Oh, why don't we have any seats since we came so early? This Zuixianlou is really too small. The place is too small."

  "I heard that this gnawed chicken is only limited to two hundred copies a day. We should be able to make it to this position. The latter ones are miserable. Today, I will taste the amazing gnawed chicken that is spread by everyone. ."

  ……

   An hour later, all the two hundred gnawed chickens in Zuixianlou were sold out, but there was still a line of at least a hundred people outside. Those who were not in line immediately quit, one after another began to scream. , The order was in chaos, and even shocked Wuhou in Chang'an.

   Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to announce an increase in the supply of chickens eaten today by one hundred, which resolved the confusion.

  ……

   Tai Chi Palace.

  The old **** Zhao Song is reporting the background of Li Zexuan he found to Li Er one by one, and presents a piece of rice paper to Li Er.

   After listening to Li Er, he stood up, walked two steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "According to you, Li Zexuan didn't intend to approach Chengqian and Changle?"

   picked up the piece of rice paper again, interested and authentic:

  "This Li Zexuan is also proficient in arithmetic, and is even better than Xu Hongzhi. I didn't expect that this kid seems to have a lot of skills, but what is the twist on this paper?"

   If Li Zexuan were here, he would definitely recognize it. That rice paper was the financial statement he made at the garment shop that day. I didn't expect that the old **** even got this.

   "The old slave is not clear. According to the guy present at the time, Xu Hongzhi didn't know what the word was, and Li Zexuan didn't explain it either."

  ……

   Li Er is still confused by the Arabic numerals, but Li Zexuan is lying on the lounge chair in the west courtyard of the Li Mansion and flirting with two little maids, ah, no, it’s telling a story. This lounge chair asked the Sambo to invite Chengdong two days ago The drawings were made by Zhou Carpenter, Li Zexuan, and such a simple thing is a trivial matter to him as an engineering dog.

   Li Zexuan told them about "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". In fact, there are not many stories in his head. I remember some TV series that he watched many times when he was a child, and he basically didn't watch TV series during college. It's a routine, it's anxious to see. Not playing games every day, or chatting with his little girlfriend online, long-distance relationships are also very hard.

  "Master, this Liang Shanbo is so stupid. He slept with Zhu Yingtai for so long without knowing that she was a female. How could this be possible? Master, you are making up again." After a while, Xiaohe protested Tao.

  "Why is it impossible, why did you make up?"

   Li Zexuan is not convinced, how can the love classics of previous life be made up?

   "Master, a woman is a woman. Even if you disguise yourself as a man, you can still tell it. Master, you must have read more dramas." Xiao He said with a seemingly experienced expression.

  "Who said that some women disguise themselves as men are indeed easy to be seen through, such as Xiao Xi, but you are a girl like Xiaohe, if you disguise as men, it is difficult to be seen, hehe."

   After Li Zexuan said, he looked at Xiao He's small **** a little bit maliciously.

  "Master, you...you...huh!"

   Xiaohe followed Li Zexuan's gaze, jumped up instantly, blushing, and having been with Li Zexuan for a long time, not knowing what to say, stomped in shame, turned and ran.

   Xiao Xi blushed on the side, she didn't dare to look up at Li Zexuan again, but thought in her heart: "The young master just meant to praise my big breasts?"

   The more I think about it, the more pretty my face turns red.

  At this moment, Li Zexuan noticed a tall and pretty girl in green clothes walking into the yard. Li Zexuan knew this girl, who was by his mother, who seemed to be Qing'er. Seeing that he was almost here, Li Zexuan stood up and said:

  "Why did Sister Qing'er come? Is my mother looking for me?"

   Qing'er smiled and nodded: "Madam, please go to the lobby."

   After a while, Li Zexuan came to the front hall and saw his mother sitting in front of the hall. There was a lean old man in the hall. This person was the housekeeper of Li's house. Li Zexuan had met several times a few days ago.

  "Xuan'er, come, come to my mother's side to sit down soon."

  Mrs. Li saw her son coming, and quickly smiled and waved.

   Li Zexuan walked over and sat down and said, "Mother, what's the matter with you calling the child over?"

   Mrs. Li handed a booklet in Li Zexuan's hand. Li Zexuan took it and opened it and looked at it. It seemed to be an account book, and curiously asked: "Mother, what is this?"

   Mrs. Li smiled and said, "This is the renter’s account from Hanjiazhuang in the east of the city just sent by the steward Wang. The renter should have paid it a long time ago, but last year the harvest was not good, so the mother gave them some allowance. Months, I was supposed to collect 50% of the rent, but my mother only took 40% of them. This is not my family Xuan'er, is it okay? IndoMTL.com~ My mother will let you come over and help my mother do the calculation. When I was a child, my mother had to count for several days. This year, Xuan'er just happened, so my mother will save much trouble."

   Speaking of this, Mrs. Li is very pleased that her son can now share her worries.

   Li Zexuan finished listening and said with a smile: "Well, mother, these things will be left to the children in the future, and the mother can enjoy peace of mind and happiness. The mother's heart is really good, and the renters are reduced by 10%, but then again. It’s not easy for those dealers."

   said with some doubts: "Mother, why do we have so many fertile fields in our family? Why haven't I heard my father say it."

   Mrs. Li gave him a blank glance when he heard the words, and said: "This is all the land bought for my mother in the past few years and rented to those farmers. My mother sees that there is so much spare money at home that I can’t keep it. I took out a part and bought some fields."

  啧啧, I didn’t expect my mother to be so advanced in consciousness. In the Tang Dynasty, she knew that she used money to invest in land purchases. He asked curiously: "Mum, how much land did you buy in these years?"

  "It's not much, it's only more than 3,000 acres. Your father's shop often needs a lot of money for turnover, so my mother only bought that."

   "Puff!" Li Zexuan almost knelt to his old mother, more than 3,000 acres is not too much, but he did not expect to be a big landlord.

   "Mother, I'll take this account book, and I will show it to you tomorrow after I finish the calculation." Li Zexuan turned the account book and said.

   "Well, that's hard work, my mother will make you a good meal at noon, and fill your brain!" Madam Li smiled.

   "Mother, it's not hard work. In the future, these things will be done by the child. In fact, these are really simple for the child. The child does not want her mother to spend her mind on these things."

   "Well, mother got it, Xuan'er is really filial, go now!"
