From tomorrow on, be a happy person, feed horses, chop firewood, and travel around the world; from tomorrow on, care about food and vegetables; I have a house facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming.
With a house, land, and a title, he finally had the foundation to settle down and live in the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of these, Li Zexuan felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally. He lay in bed and didn't want to get up. He even thought about living like this all his life and waiting for death. Anyway, he won't be able to use up all the money at home in his lifetime.
That's right, Li Zexuan is so unambitious that he is content with being a little rich. What is he doing with so much money? He doesn't want to raise a banner and gather people to rebel. The money at home is enough for him to use for several lifetimes.
"Master, ah, it should be Sir, it's time to get up."
Xiao Xi entered the room and said with a smile on her face. It's just that she hasn't gotten used to the title Sir. The little girl was a little confused after realizing that she said the wrong thing, but the joy in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Li Zexuan joked: "Xiao Xi, what day are you so happy today?"
"No...nothing."
Xiao Xi combed her hair in front of her forehead in a panic.
"Hey, if you don't tell me, I won't get up today!"
Originally it was just a casual question, but seeing the little girl's expression that it was clear that something was really going on, Li Zexuan resorted to cheating.
"Ah? Master... Sir, how could you do this?"
Xiao Xi gained a new understanding of how shameless her young master was.
Li Zexuan was quite speechless at the little girl's exaggerated reaction. He was just teasing her, not being a hooligan.
"If you don't like being called Sir, just keep calling me Young Master. It sounds awkward to me. Xiaoxi, tell me, what good thing happened to you? Did you pick up money?"
Xiao Xi hesitated for a moment and then said sheepishly: "Madam said this morning that all the servants in the mansion will have their regular pay doubled for the next three months to celebrate the young master's enthronement."
"Ha, Xiao Xi, you are really lucky. You guys give out a lot of money, but I am half of the credit, young master. Xiao Xi, you have to thank me."
Xiao Xi also thinks that the young master's analysis makes sense, but she can't think of how to thank him. Why: "Master, you don't need anything. Xiao Xi can't think of how to thank you."
When Li Zexuan heard this, he said slyly: "Who said, Master, I don't lack anything? Master, I have lacked calcium since I was a child, and I have lacked love when I grow up!"
After saying that, he stared at the little girl's small breasts with some evil intentions, "Wow, it's really quite big."
"Ah~, Master, you...you are a gangster!"
Xiao Xi felt Li Zexuan's lewd gaze and quickly screamed and ran away with her face covered.
Alas, the little girl really doesn't take teasing.
Li Zexuan shook his head helplessly and could only get up and get dressed by himself.
… … ..
"Eh? Shopkeeper Liu is here today?"
Li Zexuan came to the front hall and was about to have breakfast when he saw shopkeeper Liu talking to Father Li.
"I have met Sir Alex, and congratulations to Sir Alex on his bright future!"
Shopkeeper Liu didn't dare to be as casual as before. When he saw Li Zexuan coming in, he stood up quickly and bowed to Li Zexuan respectfully. Li Zexuan's status as a scholar, farmer, industrialist and merchant is now different from what it used to be, so he can't help but be disrespectful.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, we have worked together after all. Why are you so different now? Uncle Liu, please call me Young Master or Xiaoxuan. Don't be formal. Your contribution to Zuixian Tower is worth it to me and my father." I keep it all in mind.”
Li Zexuan clearly felt that shopkeeper Liu's attitude today was not quite right, but he understood it after thinking about it for a moment. He is not a person who likes to show off. Although he now has a title, in his opinion, this title is just a coat used to protect himself and his family, not a tool for showing off.
Shopkeeper Liu was very moved when he saw that Li Zexuan's attitude towards him was still as cordial as before. You must know how humble businessmen are in this society. How could there be any nobles willing to treat them equally.
"Master, thank you for still looking up to me, Old Liu. I, Old Liu, will definitely take care of Zuixian Tower with more care in the future."
Shopkeeper Liu's eyes were a little moist as he spoke.
Li Jingmo smiled and comforted: "Shopkeeper Liu, sit down and talk. Although my family Xuan'er is now a baron, our Li family is still the same Li family as before. For an old man like you who has made great contributions to the Li family, Xuan'er and I both I won’t forget it.”
Shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands and said: "Master is benevolent and righteous!"
Li Zexuan sat next to him, picked up the millet porridge that his mother prepared for him, and ate it with pickles. While eating, he asked: "Uncle Liu, what's the matter with you coming here today?"
When Father Li saw Li Zexuan's rude expression, he glared at him.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't mind. In his opinion, Li Zexuan's behavior did not treat him as an outsider, and Lao Liu felt very happy.
Hearing Li Zexuan's question, Shopkeeper Liu quickly replied: "Young Master, Old Liu, I am here to discuss the Zuixian Tower with you today."
"Oh? What happened to Zuixianlou? Didn't I ask Uncle Liu to lower the price before?"
Li Zexuan asked curiously.
"Master, after listening to your instructions, we did lower the price of KFC. The previously lost KFC customers have returned by 20%. However, today Yunxilou has lowered its price again. Their chicken now only costs 450 cents. It’s enough.”
Shopkeeper Liu said with a sad face.
Li Zexuan frowned and muttered:
"They want us to fight to the death. We can't lower the price of this chicken. There's no need to start a price war with them. Dad, do you know who the owner of Yunxi Tower is?"
Li Jingmo thought for a while and said:
"My father has never heard of their boss, but my father knows their shopkeeper. His name is Xiao Ying. He was unknown before. He only became the shopkeeper of Yunxi Tower two years ago. However, Yunxi Tower seems to have some problems. Backstage, many of the gangsters who used to make jokes and drink and default on their bills have been cleaned up and disappeared."
Li Zexuan's frown deepened. He pondered for a moment and said:
"It seems that this Yunxi Building has a good background. Uncle Liu, don't worry about their Yunxi Building for now. You can just run the business as usual. I have some things to do in the past two days. When I am free, I will teach Wang Erhu some new tricks. Dishes, and at the same time, we will bring a magical wine to Zuixianlou that no one has ever tasted."
Upon hearing this, Father Li glanced at his son suspiciously.
Shopkeeper Liu was extremely excited and said:
"Since the young master is going to take action, then I, Old Liu, am completely relieved. Oh, by the way, one more thing. Wang Erhu told me before that the people from Yunxilou wanted to poach him at a higher price, but Wang Erhu didn't agree. .”
Li Zexuan was so angry:
"This Yunxilou is really pressing forward step by step and using any means. Uncle Liu, Erhu is a good young man. Don't treat him badly. Tell him, follow the young master and I will work hard and don't think about anything else. What others can give, I can give them all. I can also teach him to make many new dishes that others don’t know, so that he can weigh them himself."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded quickly and said: "Yes, don't worry, young master. I, Lao Liu, think Erhu is very reliable. Then young master, master, I will go back first."
Li Zexuan nodded.
