There was a long silence. Zhang Xiaoshan finally organized the language. He slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Yang firmly. "Second brother, although we have been separated for nine years, the fact that you are my half-brother cannot be changed. Also, although Li Sheng is my elder brother, he is a very selfish person. These In 2010, Mother used the money from the family to support his education, open a shop for him, and marry him a wife. Almost all of our Zhang family’s money was spent on him, Li Sheng. My third brother and I also reached the age of marrying a wife, but the family But he couldn't afford the money to marry us a daughter-in-law. Do you think I shouldn't hate him?"
"Hahaha, whether you hate him or not doesn't seem to have much to do with me!" Chu Yang smiled and continued drinking tea. It is impossible for him to easily believe the other party just because of Zhang Xiaoshan's few words.
"Yes, the grievances between my eldest brother and I really have nothing to do with my second brother. However, he, Li Sheng, is so ambitious. After seeing your restaurant, he thought of stealing the recipe and opening his own restaurant. This is simply a big joke. His family My mother lent money to him in the village to rent a small silk and satin shop about the size of a private room in a restaurant. If he wants money but doesn’t have the money, and if he wants the recipe, he doesn’t have the recipe. Why should he open a restaurant? Opening a restaurant and opening a restaurant for my third brother and me is just a dream. I think he just doesn't want to see you, he is jealous of you! Poor, my mother and my third brother still believe his nonsense and help him Persuade father to come and reconcile with you!" Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan looked contemptuous.
"Well, what you said is quite right. Li Sheng is indeed a bit over his head when he wants to open a restaurant. This restaurant does not have three hundred taels of silver, so it cannot be opened." Nodding, Chu Yang gave Zhang Xiaoshan an approving look.
"So, I don't want to go crazy with them. Because I know that instead of relying on Li Sheng, a selfish villain, it's better to ask my second brother to help me open a restaurant!" Looking at Chu Yang, Zhang Xiaoshan said again.
Hearing this, Chu Yang looked Zhang Xiaoshan up and down. "Do you think I can help you open a restaurant?"
"Compared with Li Sheng, my second brother is more capable to help me open a restaurant!" Zhang Xiaoshan firmly believes in this.
Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan who spoke extremely resolutely, Chu Yang nodded. "Okay, if you can help me get rid of Li Sheng, I'll help you open a branch of "Li Ji Barbecue Restaurant" in Ping'an Town."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan was ecstatic. "Second brother, you, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true, but you have to show me your sincerity. What has Li Sheng been doing recently?" Chu Yang was dubious about Zhang Xiaoshan, so he planned to observe slowly!
"After returning from here, Li Sheng felt that it was impossible to use father to restore relationship with you and get the formula from you. Because the second sister-in-law is too fierce, we can't get close to you at all. So, Li Sheng changed his mind, He is now secretly inquiring about the affairs of the second elder brother Yue's family. It seems that he wants to find out the details of the second sister-in-law's family!" After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoshan told Chu Yang everything he knew without reservation.
"Okay, tell me what Li Sheng will do in the future!" Nodding, Chu Yang was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaoshan's knowledge.
"Second brother, don't worry, I will tell you about Li Sheng at any time!" Nodding, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately responded.
"Is it convenient for you to come out? They won't be suspicious?" Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan, Chu Yang asked suspiciously.
"Second brother, you don't have to worry about this. I'm studying in the town now, and I often run around. Sometimes I live in the town and sometimes at home, so my parents won't suspect my whereabouts. Neither will Li Sheng!" , Zhang Xiaoshan is not worried.
"Okay, since this is the case, then you can work harder!" As he said, Chu Yang took out ten taels of silver and put it on the table. "This silver is for your travel expenses, you take it!"
"Hey, thank you, second brother!" Nodding, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately took the silver and carefully hid it in his arms. "Second brother, you, how are you going to deal with elder brother? Are you going to kill him?" After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaoshan asked cautiously.
"What, are you scared? Still reluctant?" Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan, Chu Yang asked with a smile.
"No, no, Li Sheng's life and death has nothing to do with me. Anyway, he won't care about my life or death." Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan looked contemptuous.
"You don't need to know how I'm going to deal with Li Sheng. You just need to know, tell me what Li Sheng did secretly, and when Li Sheng can't get up again, that's when you become the owner of the restaurant." Speaking of this, Chu Yang smiled.
"Well, I know the second brother!" Zhang Xiaoshan nodded repeatedly, expressing his understanding.
"Okay, go back, don't leave for too long, so as not to be suspected by them!" Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan, Chu Yang told him softly.
"Understood the second brother!" Nodding, Zhang Xiaoshan stood up and left.

In the evening, Chu Yang told his wife Li Xiaohu about Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Then do you think Zhang Xiaoshan really wanted to help us? Or did he come to get close to us on purpose and help Li Sheng steal the formula?" Looking at his man, Li Xiaohu asked uncertainly.
"Don't worry, whether he's sincere or not, you'll find out if you take your time. However, what we have to deal with right now is Li Sheng's investigation of your family." Having said that, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, if what Xiaoshan said is true, Li Sheng will definitely go to Daliushu Village to ask about our family." Thinking of this, Li Xiaohu was a little worried.
"It's okay, I'll go back tomorrow. Say hello to the villagers in the village." Having said that, Chu Yang smiled.
"Yes, let me tell everyone first. If Li Sheng really went to Daliushu Village to find out information, it would mean that Zhang Xiaoshan didn't deceive us!" After thinking about it, Li Xiaohu thought it was feasible.
"This is a trivial matter. I can't tell whether Zhang Xiaoshan is really helping me. Let's take a look at this person in the future!" Having said this, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to draw premature conclusions about Zhang Xiaoshan. . In the original book, there is no such thing as Zhang Xiaoshan turning against each other. However, the cannon fodder in the original work is not as good as the hero in every way, and there is no huge benefit for Zhang Xiaoshan to turn against him.
"Well, you're right, Zhang Xiaoshan still has to take his time. But, if he really helps you, will you open a restaurant for him?" Looking at his man, Li Xiaohu asked uncertainly.
"He has the guts. If he betrays his elder brother, I think he can also become a restaurant owner. It is not impossible to open a restaurant for him. However, I will not trust him. I will not have any brotherhood with him. Love." If he opened a branch, he would get a commission, it was a matter of making money, and Chu Yang had no reason to refuse. However, a person like Zhang Xiaoshan who can betray his elder brother is only suitable for use, not for deep friendship, nor for trust. Not to mention brotherhood.
"Oh!" Looking at his man, Li Xiaohu nodded with a vague understanding.

A few days later, Taohua Village
A tall carriage approached from a distance, and came to the gate of Zhang Ergen's house. In villages like Peach Blossom Village, there are very few such carriages. People in the village usually go to the town by ox cart. Therefore, as soon as the carriage stopped, it immediately attracted many onlookers from the villagers.
The villagers were pointing and whispering around the carriage. Guess who came to Zhang's house.
I saw a carriage coming. Zhang Ergen's family of five immediately walked out of the yard.
Goudan jumped out of the carriage with Ma Liu and Fang San. He looked at the Zhang family. "Master Zhang, your son has brought you something. He brought you a hundred catties of rice, fifty catties of flour, twenty catties of pork, twenty catties of old wine, and specially made you two new clothes. Woolen cloth!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ergen was stunned.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yang smiled with chrysanthemum folds on her face. "Oh, Li Sheng is really a kid. Didn't he just send something back a few days ago? Why did you send something again? It's too much money to give away, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Goudan gave Yang Shi a disdainful look. "My lady, you have misunderstood. Our boss is Zhang Dashan, not Li Sheng."
"What?" Hearing this, Yang's face turned green and pale, and he couldn't speak for a moment in embarrassment.
Seeing Mrs. Yang's deflated appearance, the surrounding villagers pointed and discussed, almost bursting out laughing!
"Yes, is it something Dashan gave me?" Hearing this, Zhang Ergen was both surprised and happy.
"Yes, it was given to you by our boss Zhang Dashan. The boss said that in the future, if there is anything missing, he will only let you know, and he will send someone to bring it to you immediately." Looking at Zhang Ergen, Goudan said respectfully.
"Hey, it's not easy for him to open a restaurant to make money, what can he give away? I have food at home, and I don't lack anything!" Looking at the rice, noodles, and pork being carried out of the car. Zhang Ergen smiled from ear to ear.
"Master Zhang, this is what it should be. You are the father of our boss. It is only natural for him to respect you."
"Oh!" Smiling, Zhang Ergen immediately called his two sons and daughter over, and helped them bring everything into the house.
Looking at the two sets of brocade robes on the table, Zhang Ergen stretched out his hand to touch them. "This material is so slippery!"
"This is the finest silk, Mr. Zhang, try it on!" Goudan then helped Zhang Ergen put on his official robe, hat, and boots.
"Father, you look so good in this, like a rich old man in the city!" Looking at his father in brocade, Zhang Ershan said enviously.
"Yes, this material is really good!" Nodding, Zhang Dahong also looked envious.
"This is the clothes that our boss personally selected. A set of clothes plus a vest, hat, and boots costs two taels of silver. It is the most expensive clothes in Yunjinxuan. It is also the best material in Longquan Town!" Looking at the crowd, the dog Egg said so.
"Oh, Dashan, this kid, likes to spend money recklessly!" Touching the expensive clothes on his body, Zhang Ergen also thought it looked good. This is the first time in my life to wear such beautiful clothes!
"Miss Dahong, this is given to you by my boss!" Goudan took a wooden box and handed it to Zhang Dahong.
"For me?" Hearing this, Zhang Dahong was ecstatic, and immediately stepped forward to take the box. When I opened it, I saw that there were twelve little pink pigs. "Wow, so beautiful!"
"This set of rich and noble pigs costs a tael of silver in our shop!" Smiling, Goudan explained.
"This, this is too expensive. Second brother, why did second brother give me such an expensive thing?" Speaking of this, Zhang Dahong felt a little embarrassed.
"You are our boss' sister, you should!" Smiling, Goudan said as it should.
