Yunxi Building, a private room on the top floor.
In the room, the young master played with the wine glass in his hand and asked casually: "We at Yunxi Tower have already launched our attack. Isn't there any movement at Zuixian Tower?"
The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "Back to the young master, there is indeed no movement at Zuixian Tower. Neither Li Zexuan nor shopkeeper Liu made any special moves."
"Then what has Li Zexuan been doing recently? Doesn't he care about their restaurant business anymore?"
"According to reports from people below, Li Zexuan has been busy with his new fiefdom recently. Today he also went to Meicun and Hanjiazhuang. Oh, by the way, Young Master, Li Zexuan had previously mobilized farmers to pick mountain fruits, and it seemed that he was asking Han Tianhu and his family to help He makes wine.”
"What kind of wine are you brewing?" the young master asked curiously.
"Back to the young master, my subordinates guessed that it should be the kind of mountain fruit wine that Han Tianhu and her daughter brewed before. We Yunxilou also bought it before, and it tasted really good. But later Li Zexuan bought it out at a high price, and their father and daughter stopped supplying it. We made fruit wine."
The young master stood up, frowned and muttered:
"Huh? Could it be that Li Zexuan plans to use this wine to compete with our Yunxi Lou? No, I estimate that their wine is not that simple. You should immediately send Fei Snake to Hanjiazhuang and bring back a jar of their wine. have a look."
"Here, sir!"
The middle-aged man bowed to accept the order and turned around to go out.
The young master suddenly thought of something and suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The middle-aged man turned around quickly and said, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"This matter must be carefully planned. Tomorrow you go and invite Xia Shengyuan from the west of the city to our Yunxi Restaurant to be the chef. We must not only imitate the dishes of Zuixian Restaurant, but also create our own special dishes." The young master thought for a while. said.
The middle-aged man hesitated and said: "Sir, this Xia Shengyuan is the chef of the former palace. I'm afraid it's not easy to invite him over."
The young master sneered and said: "Haha, if I can't invite him, you won't throw money at him or threaten his family? Do you want me to teach you how to do this?"
"Here, sir, I know what to do."
"By the way, I heard that the Cheng family has recently followed Li Zexuan in buying chickens?"
"Reporting to the Young Master, this is indeed true! The price of chickens in Chang'an City has also risen to one hundred and fifteen cents per chicken."
The young master said proudly: "Since they are stupid and have a lot of money and want chickens so much, you go to my second uncle today to borrow a few big boats, go to Jiangnan through the Grand Canal to buy 80,000 chickens, transport them to Chang'an, and sell them to With both of them, we can also make a lot of money, and then we will be more confident that we can beat my good big brother."
The middle-aged man praised: "Young Master is really far-sighted, and I admire you!"
"What flattery are you trying to do? Go and do some work!" The young man waved his hand and scolded him impatiently. However, from the flash of joy in his eyes and feet, it can still be seen that he is very happy with this flattery.
After the middle-aged man left the room, the young man looked out the window. Then he seemed to think of something unhappy, and saw his face was ferocious, and he said bitterly: "My good brother, I will definitely not lose to you this time." is you."
... ... ... ...
Chang'an City, Qinglongfang.
In the open space in the backyard of a luxurious mansion, there was a little girl in gorgeous clothes, riding a scooter and playing happily. Not far away, down the corridor, stood a young man in white, looking at the little girl with a smile on his face.
"My lord, some pieces of paper suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City just now, with notices about Qiqi Pavilion written on them."
A young man in green clothes came quickly and reported to the young man in white clothes. This boy is none other than Lu Yun, who applied for a red supreme membership card at Qiquge a few days ago.
"Oh? Bring it over and show it to me!"
The young man in white withdrew his gaze, turned around and looked at the notice in Lu Yun's hand. After a while, he smiled and said:
"Second-generation scooter? This Qiquge is so interesting! Lu Yun, take my membership card tomorrow and buy Meng'er a so-called second-generation scooter. I want to see it. Look, how different this second generation is from the first!”
Lu Yun didn't understand his young master's recent strange behavior, but he didn't dare to ask, so he quickly bowed and agreed: "No, young master!"
The young man in white nodded slightly, but when he saw that Lu Yun had not yet retreated, he frowned and said, "Why, do you still have something to do?"
A trace of struggle flashed across Lu Yun's face, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to the young master, I don't know whether I should say something or not."
The young man in white said displeasedly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. What a shame!"
Seeing that the young master was displeased, Lu Yun quickly continued: "Sir, as far as my subordinates know, the second young master has recently taken many measures to consolidate Yunxi Lou's position in Chang'an City. Seeing that Yunxi Lou is about to dominate Chang'an, the big brother Young Master, why are you still...still..."
"What else? Still idle and doing nothing, right?"
"Young Master, please forgive me. I didn't mean this. I'm just worried that if this continues, I'm afraid that Young Master will lose this family trial and lose all his power!"
When Lu Yun heard what the young man in white said, he quickly bowed in fear and explained.
The young man in white sighed, but did not blame Lu Yun. He said slowly:
"You all think I haven't done anything? Well, okay, it seems that I haven't done anything yet!"
Lu Yun almost choked to death due to the sharp turn made by the young man in white.
The young man in white was embarrassed for a while, then regained his composure, and continued: "I haven't done anything now, just because the time has not come yet. My second brother, I have an extreme personality, and I always like to be brave and competitive. Although he is strong and competitive, some elders in the clan still agree with his way of doing things. But none of you understand that now that the world has been settled and all the people have returned home, if we, the big families, still can't see clearly the current situation, we will act aloof and condescending. Constantly fighting with others will only make countless enemies, and eventually everyone will push down the wall. When the time comes, the Li Tang royal family will definitely be happy to see the result and add insult to injury.
During the turbulent times of the late Sui Dynasty, you were all timid and did not dare to jump out to fight with the Li family and seize the country. Now that the world is stable, you are jumping out one by one. Don't you think you are dying fast enough? "
The young man in white became a little angry as he spoke. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and slapped the railing in anger.
Lu Yun saw that the young master in white was losing his temper and quickly advised him, "Sir, calm down!"
The young man in white calmed down and continued: "In a peaceful and prosperous age, it is not advisable to be brave and aggressive. Cooperating with others for a win-win situation is the wisest move and the way to survive!"
Lu Yun was surprised when he heard this: "Does the young master want to cooperate with Li Zexuan? I'm afraid the clan won't agree, right?"
The young man in white snorted angrily and said angrily: "Humph, a bunch of old stubborns are never willing to lower their arrogant heads and can't see the situation clearly. However, this is just a small trial in the clan, and all the decisions are up to me. , the clan has no right to interfere!”
When Lu Yun heard the rebellious words of the young man in white, he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
The young man in white stood there, getting angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and finally he snorted angrily and walked away with his hands behind his back!
