Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 29 Meeting Cui Yu and the first customer

The second floor of Liuli Pavilion.

In a specially separated private room next to the street, Li Huaian drank tea, observed the opening of the shop downstairs, and watched the lively crowd grabbing the copper coins scattered on the ground by the female waiter.

The only regret is.

At present, there is a group of people outside the shop grabbing copper coins.

No one had yet tried to enter the shop.

"Dong dong."

Heard a knock on the door.

Li Huaian said softly.

"Enter."

The box door was pushed open.

Li Ruoqiu walked in from outside.

"Lang Jun."

"Why did you come up? Why don't you look after me from below?"

Li Huaian waved to Li Ruoqiu who walked into the box, gesturing for the beauty to come into his arms.

"The big things have been taken care of by the slave family. There are still some small things left, so the slave family will leave them to Taohua to deal with. So the slave family came up to see if the husband has any instructions."

Li Ruoqiu spoke and lay in Li Huaian's arms.

Beauty in arms.

Li Huaian had something to play with in his hands. He played with the nephrite in his arms and said with a smile: "Leave Taohua alone down there, just in case Taohua can't handle it."

Worry about him.

Li Ruoqiu explained for his maid Taohua.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, it won't happen."

"Taohua has been with the slave family for many years. In fact, she can handle many things by herself. When the slave family is in Wanhua Building, Taohua usually helps the slave family deal with some trivial matters in Wanhua Building."

"Compared to Wanhua Tower, it can be said that Taohua is very relaxed and able to deal with Liuli Pavilion without any worries."

Guarantee for the maidservant's peach blossom.

The conversation turned again.

"Besides, although Lang Jun has left all the affairs of the shop and house to the slave family to take care of."

"But the slave family is also very busy. Between taking care of the house and the shop, there are always times when it is too much to take care of, and it is impossible to take good care of it."

"When we were at Wanhua Building, the Nujia often heard the Madam say that we should learn how to use people. The Nujia thought, let Taohua take this opportunity to practice, and then let Taohua take care of the shop and assist the Nujia in managing Lang Jun's Liuli Pavilion. "

After hearing this theory from Li Ruoqiu.

Li Huaian smiled and stretched out his hand to grab the beauty in his arms and said: "You are good at employing people. You learned a lot from the Madam of Hualou. You also know how to trust people without trusting them and employ people without trusting them."

Although the maid Taohua is not a suspect.

He is a close confidant of Li Ruoqiu.

"whee."

get compliments.

Li Ruoqiu laughed happily.

Seeing the beauty in his arms smile, Li Huaian asked, "Besides these, have you used anything you learned from the Madam of Wanhualou to me?"

"Yes, I have."

Li Ruoqiu answered straightforwardly.

"What did you use?"

Li Huaian was a little curious.

Li Ruoqiu hooked her arms around Li Huaian's neck, raised her upper body slightly, and whispered softly into her ear: "Of course, I learned all the Fangzhong techniques from the madam and the sisters in the building. There is nothing else in Lang Jun.”

"The slave family doesn't dare to do anything else."

"It's almost there."

Li Huaian subconsciously rubbed his waist. The beauty in his arms looked small, but she was really a man-eating goblin with superb skills.

Last night was a lot for him to enjoy.

After Li Ruoqiu finished talking about her affairs, she asked, "Then the husband handed over the mansion and shop to the slave family to take care of it. Isn't it because the slave family doesn't trust the people who are suspicious of the family?"

After the words fell, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Li Huaian.

"nature."

Li Huaian nodded and admitted.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lang. The Nu family will definitely guard the house and take care of the shop for Mr. Lang."

Li Ruoqiu was very moved.

Just when the two of them were tender.

Changes began to occur downstairs as well.

After saying a few auspicious words to the ladies from Liulice Pavilion, the crowd of people who had grabbed the copper coins began to disperse slowly. They took the coins they had grabbed and ran in groups to drink or buy some. Take food home.

No one among these people who were watching the robbery of copper coins would have the idea of ​​going into Liuli Pavilion to have a look and see what goods were sold in the shop.

no way.

For these onlookers grabbing copper coins.

When the three words "Liu Li Pavilion" appeared in front of their eyes, when these people heard this name and from the words of the female clerks who scattered copper coins, they could tell that what was sold in Liu Li Pavilion was what.

It's simply not something that people like them can afford.

Just the two words Liuli.

It is words that they, the ordinary people in white clothes, from a small family in Chang'an City, cannot touch, and it is also an item that people like them cannot afford in their lifetime.

Glass.

It is widely known among the people that it is one of the treasures of Buddhism.

They can all be related to Buddhism.

How could it be that people like them, who were fighting for a few copper coins, could only hope for it.

Those are things only wealthy people can own.

Again.

Even if you don’t know what Liuli is.

As long as a shop can be opened in a market like Dongshi, where the nobles in Chang'an City often appear, it is still such a big shop, and the things it sells are not affordable for poor people like them.

not to mention.

The steps of this shop called Liuli Pavilion are so high that it seems that it is not for ordinary people to enter.

Look around.

You can't see what's going on inside the shop from the outside.

All you can see is a huge screen blocking the door of the shop, blocking everything inside the shop and blocking out all prying eyes from the street.

For the people in the market, it is more practical to grab a few copper coins to feel happy and buy some rice and noodles with the copper coins. At most, they can send a few more nice auspicious words to the newly opened Liulice. .

After all, it's been years.

No shop opened with so much copper money as the opening of Liulice.

If only such a shop opened every day.

Then they, the common people who are looking for a living, are not happy enough to die.

What Li Huaian didn't know was.

Among the crowd watching the opening of Liulice Pavilion, there was also a special person, that was Zhang Langjun, who had sold the shop to him. The original owner of Liulice Pavilion was also looking at the shop among the crowd watching.

Of course.

With Zhang Langjun's family fortune, he would not join the ranks of robbing copper coins.

This person just left the crowd after seeing Liulice's name.

the other side.

After tasting the sweetness, Li Huaian finally let go of Li Ruoqiu in his arms, so that he could not perform other steps with the beauty in his arms in the second floor box of Liuli Pavilion.

Especially since the window of the box he was in was open, it was easy for people on the second floor of the opposite shop to see what was going on in the box through the window.Therefore, no matter how impatient I am, I can only endure it and wait for the shop to close and night to fall.

"Your Majesty, drink tea."

After tidying up her somewhat messy clothes, Li Ruoqiu stood up and went to the opposite side of the table, picked up the celadon kettle that was simmering on the charcoal fire, and filled some water into Li Huaian's tea cup.

This tea is naturally not the kind of tea soup that was popular in the Tang Dynasty with all kinds of seasonings.

It was a popular way of drinking tea after the Song Dynasty.

It's just tea made with tea leaves and hot water.

There are no seasonings, let alone milk.

The reason for this kind of tea.

The reason is also because in the days when Li Huaian just bought Li Ruoqiu and his maid Taohua home from Wanhua Building, there would always be time for the three of them to do nothing when they were together, and they could not always covet the joy between the bed and the bed.

In that case, it didn't matter that Li Ruoqiu and her maid Taohua had the skills to bear it, but Li Huaian, a person who had been giving so much, couldn't bear it and needed to rest and recover.

Similarly, Li Ruoqiu and her maid Taohua were not willing to let Li Huaian be so greedy and waste his energy.

So Li Ruoqiu suggested making tea and dancing.

Li Huaian tasted their tea-making skills and admired the two women's dancing skills.

Just that one time.

The rules for drinking tea in the house have changed from tea soup to clear tea, and at most one kind of milk tea can be added.

At the beginning.

When I heard Li Ruoqiu wanted to make tea.

at first.

Li Huaian did not reject it much, and he also knew that the tea soup in the Tang Dynasty was different from the tea after the Song Dynasty. It was not like in modern society where you only need to make tea with water to drink it.

No matter how particular the tea soup in the Tang Dynasty was, it required a lot of seasonings to be cooked.

It's just like milk tea, it just depends on how many ingredients are put in the tea.

but.

What he never expected was that tea soup in the Tang Dynasty was not just a matter of how many ingredients were put into the tea, but also a matter of putting tea leaves in a pile of dark ingredients.

At that time, Li Ruoqiu showed Li Huaian the tea-making techniques of various Tang Dynasty tea soups.

Add pepper.

Meat oil.

salt.

sugar.

There are also many various spices that can be found in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, all of which can be crushed and put into tea to cook.

There are many ingredients for tea soup, which Li Huaian only saw when he was making meat stew in the main world.

This is not tea soup.

It is clearly a bowl of meat and oil soup mixed with all the seasonings.

The only difference is that it contains tea leaves.

This kind of tea soup is even worse than milk tea.

There are too many ingredients in milk tea, and it can be drunk as eight-treasure porridge at most.

Tang Dynasty tea soup.

One sip can make him feel hopeless in life and completely send him away.

That is, from that time on.

Whenever people talk about drinking tea, they are referring to this kind of tea.

If you want to drink milk tea, you can just say milk tea.

but.

Relative to tea.

As women, Li Ruoqiu and the maid Taohua have some love for milk tea and like it very much. Even the maids who bought it into the house later also liked the taste of milk tea after tasting it.

This actually makes milk tea one of the most common drinks in the house.

Very popular with women.

For this reason, the house also keeps a milk-producing cow.

"Cui Yu?"

I took a sip of tea.

Li Huaian once again looked from the window to the street downstairs, but he did not expect to see a familiar person standing at the door of the shop, looking at Liuli Pavilion.

And this familiar person was Cui Yu, the friend who went to Wanhua Tower with him that night and helped him hold the battle in Wanhua Tower.

Then he saw Cui Yu with a young and beautiful woman beside him. The two of them were standing outside Liuli Pavilion, looking at Liuli Pavilion, as if they were about to walk in.

So Li Huaian stood up, held on to the window edge, and shouted to Cui Yu outside.

"Cui Yu, Brother Cui?"

"Brother Li?"

Cui Yu was hesitating whether to go into the newly opened shop called Liulice, when he heard a voice calling him from above. He quickly raised his head and looked along the sound, with a smile on his face.

Then he turned to the young and beautiful woman next to him and whispered softly: "It seems that we really have to go in and take a look. I met a friend, and I just wanted to ask this friend what the Liulic Pavilion is selling. It depends on the situation. Li My brother has some connection with Liuli Pavilion."

The reason for such speculation is that when Liuli Pavilion opened just now, the two of them were watching the excitement from a distance. During this period, he seemed to vaguely see the maid Taohua who was following Su Ruoqiu, the former court chief of Wanhua Tower. shadow.

The courtesan of Wanhua House, Su Ruoqiu, and the maid Taohua were both women bought by Brother Li at ransom, and now they appear in the newly opened Liuli Pavilion.

Come to think of it, there should be a connection between these.

This is also the reason why he stands in front of Liuli Pavilion.

"Okay, listen to Mr. Lang."

The beautiful woman did not refuse, but nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Brother Cui, I haven't seen him for so long. I didn't expect to meet him in Dongshi."

In the box, Li Huaian smiled and hugged Cui Yu, his words showing the joy of meeting a friend.

Anyway.

Cui Yu can be regarded as the first friend he met in the Tang Dynasty who seemed to have a good relationship with him. He had the meaning of the three irons in a man's relationship as mentioned on the Internet.

This is also where he would get up and greet Cui Yu.

"Yes, Brother Li, I never thought that you and I would meet in Dongshi, or in such a newly opened shop. It's a bit unimaginable."

Cui Yu's eyebrows were filled with an undetectable smile, moving between Li Huaian and Li Ruoqiu, feeling incredible about the place where the two met.

Li Huaian smiled and said nothing, but looked at the young and beautiful woman who was following Cui Yu, and asked: "Brother Cui, who is this...?"

"Brother Li made me laugh. This is my wife. I have free time today, so I thought I would go shopping in the East Market with my wife and buy some jewelry, rouge, gouache, etc. for my wife."

Cui Yu introduced Li Huaian to the identity of the beautiful woman who was with him, and then introduced Li Huaian to his wife.

Subsequently.

A few people got to know each other on a regular basis.

Li Huaian then suggested to Cui Yu: "Brother Cui, since you have come to my Liuli Pavilion, don't leave yet. It just so happens that I also have headdresses to buy in my Liuli Pavilion. Let Ruo Qiu take Mrs. You to my Liuli Pavilion." Take a look around and see what headgear you like, this is my gift for meeting Brother Cui."

"Ruoqiu, go and accompany Mrs. Cui around the shop."

"Good sir."

After hearing Li Huaian's instructions, Li Ruoqiu quickly stepped forward and invited Cui Yu's wife to leave the box.

"Brother Li, this is not good."

Cui Yu said with some embarrassment: "Brother Li's shop has just opened. I didn't get the letter, and I didn't prepare any gifts. Instead, I asked Brother Li to send things out. What should I do? I can't do it, I can't do it."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about this."

Li Huaian was nonchalant and motioned to Li Ruoqiu to take Mrs. Cui to pick out jewelry.

When Cui Yu saw this, she couldn't shirk it and comforted the lady beside her: "Then Madam, let's go for a walk with Miss Ruoqiu first. Don't worry too much. Just leave the jewelry you like when you find it."

"Okay, Mr. Lang, I will go with Sister Ruoqiu for a walk. When Mr. Lang needs me, he will call me back."

Mrs. Cui nodded in agreement and left the box with Li Ruoqiu, leaving the box to the two men.
