Chapter 41 The Son-in-Law

Three days passed. At first, Li Zhang was worried that the master thief would come back that night, so he couldn't sleep well all night. However, he didn't see the other person for several days, and Li Zhang slowly felt relieved, not to mention that there was a wild dog humanoid radar at home, and as long as there was a little turbulent movement at night, he would wake him up.

Of course, humanoid radars like wild dogs sometimes have some negative effects. For example, Li Zhang stayed for two nights but didn't sleep well. As a result, when he finally relaxed and prepared to have a good sleep on the third night, he was shouted by the wild dog and listened to the "fighting" of the young couple next door. Unfortunately, Li Zhang couldn't even open his eyes at this time. How could he feel like this?

"Brother Li, we agreed that from tomorrow, I will ask my friend to come and pick it up every morning!" That morning, the landlord, Shopkeeper Li, said to Li Zhang with a smile.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Li, for taking care of our business. You will definitely be ready for you tomorrow!" Li Zhang immediately smiled, and then he slapped the high fives with Shopkeeper Li, and then Shopkeeper Li said goodbye with a smile.

After seeing off the shopkeeper Li, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to the counter to record the account again. In just a few days, the business in the store had already started to be on track. Li Zhang found that the money earned by the retail in the store was very limited, and the real money was actually outsourcing and wholesale. For example, today, Manager Li liked the braised pork from Li Zhang's family very much. Today, he came to make an agreement with Li Zhang to ask Li Zhang to provide their restaurant with twenty kilograms of braised pork every day as a special cold dish in the restaurant.

Of course, shopkeeper Li is only one of them. There are other restaurants, as well as the tram attracting Li Yonghe. These places require a large quantity and can order dozens of kilograms at a time. They are the biggest customer in the store. What surprised Li Zhang the most was that Jinshan also came to get 50 kilograms of braised meat every day in the name of the casino. In addition to eating it himself, he also sold it to the casino customers. After all, their casino is not only used for gambling, but also for three meals a day.

Just as Li Zhang was settled the score, Lu Wu suddenly strode in from outside the store, then picked up the kettle in front of Li Zhang, drank it in one breath, and then whispered: "Have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Everything is normal. Is that person afraid to come?" Li Zhang also replied in a low voice as he looked at Lu Wu. Lu Wu has worked very hard these days. He stayed in the yard next to him every night. Although he took turns to rest, Lu Wu was not at ease with others, so he had almost never slept in the past few days, and his dark circles on his face and eyes were all out.

"Not necessarily, we investigated it during this period and found that the cloth merchant who was exterminated had contact with the Dangxiang people in the northwest, and Yanzhou was also facing the Dangxiang people's sphere of influence. Although the Dangxiang people looked honest in recent years, the small movements behind their backs have never stopped. This time, it is very likely that they bribed the people in the court and got this map, and the cloth merchant was probably the detailed work they sent!" Lu Wu snorted coldly at this time. When he mentioned the Dangxiang people, a look of disgust flashed across his face.

Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard this. The current leader of the Dangxiang people was named Li Deming, which was the father of Li Yuanhao who later established the Western Xia. Although Li Deming was ambitious, he knew how to tolerate it very much. At least when he was the leader, the Dangxiang people in the northwest had always surrendered to the Song Dynasty in name, but he was also expanding westward, while solving the threat of the Tubo people in the west and accumulating strength for himself.

Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao was ambitious. It seems that Li Yuanhao is almost adult this year. By the time he ascended the throne, Li Deming had laid a solid foundation for him. With his ambition, Dangxiang would definitely rebel as in history to establish the Western Xia. By then, the Song Dynasty would also lose an important horse-producing land. After losing horses, the Song Dynasty had to maintain a huge infantry to fight against the Western Xia and Northern Liao. The annual military expenditure even accounts for 70% of the national tax revenue, which is simply unimaginable in later generations.

"Okay, it's not convenient for me to stay here for a long time. You can supervise the wild dog standing more. Two hours a day must not be missing. In addition, I will pack five kilograms of braised meat for me. These days, just eating dry food will make those guys greedy!" Lu Wu said again at this time. In the past few days, he has also deliberately reduced the number of times he came to Li Zhang's place so that people would not see any clues.

"Uncle Wu, don't worry, wild dogs don't have to be killed when practicing martial arts. I don't need to say anything. The time for standing in a stance every day is only a little longer." Li Zhang also packed Lu Wu and said with a smile. Although Lu Wu didn't come often these days, the wild dogs did not relax at all, and they worked hard to make their muscles and bones every day.

"It's good that you're not lazy. You should pay more attention to it in daily life. The other party may come to step on the plate during the day. Pay more attention to any strange people when you meet." Lu Wu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then he reminded Li Zhang a few more words before leaving with the braised pork.

After seeing Lu Wu off, it was almost noon. A little girl, who was about the same age as Li'er, jumped into the store. When she saw Li Zhang, she immediately said with a crisp voice: "Brother Li, your soup cakes have been cooked. Do you want to send them here now?"

This little girl was Cai Niang, who rode on the wall and told Li Zhang and the others that the little girl who was haunted here. However, Li Zhang has guessed that the so-called haunted may be that before they moved in, the black shadow also came to look for the map, but Cai Niang heard the movement and thought the yard was haunted.

"Okay, I'm already hungry, wild dogs go and help me take it!" Li Zhang smiled when he saw Cai Niang. Cai Niang and Li Er were the same age, and they had become familiar with each other these days, so Cai Niang often came to play. As for Li Zhang, because he was too busy at noon, he had no time to cook lunch, so he usually bought it from Cai Niang's soup cake shop.

The wild dog immediately agreed, and soon came back from the soup cake shop next to him with a large wooden bucket full of noodles. There was nothing we could do about it. Li Zhang and his family had a lot of people, and the wild dog had a large appetite. Half of the bucket of noodles had to be put into his stomach.

"Brother Li, these are your bowls and chopsticks. Just put them in the bucket after eating. I'll take them later!" At this moment, a honest middle-aged man walked in and said with a smile.

I saw the other party wearing a short blue coarse cloth jacket, which looked very clean and neat. He was Cai Niang's father. His surname was Zhou. He was honest and loyal. The soup cakes he made were delicious and delicious. Therefore, he was called Zhou. He worked hard with the husband for half his life to give birth to a daughter like Cai Niang, so he usually loved Cai Niang very much. He treated it as his own eyes and would look for people everywhere if he didn't see him later.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhou!" Li Zhang saw Zhou Laoshi coming in, and immediately stood up and took the bowls and chopsticks from the other party and said, Zhou Laoshi and his wife were both good people. Seeing that Li Zhang and the others were all children, they also helped a lot in secret. In addition, Cai Niang was lively and cute, and she got along well with Li'er, so Li Zhang still liked Zhou Laoshi's family very much.

The wild dog moved a bucket of soup cakes to the backyard, and Li Zhang had already divided the group and took turns to eat. After all, the previous business still needs to be taken care of. As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put down, the ugly lady immediately started to serve the rice. No one except her would think of contacting the rice spoon. This was impossible. After all, there were too many people in the family and it would be impossible to have no rules, otherwise they would have to fight during meals.

However, the ugly lady is only responsible for serving the rice, and it does not limit how much you eat. She will give you as much as you can. For example, like a wild dog, the ugly lady helps him serve rice for half of the time. There are several plates of cut braised meat on the table to make side dishes. Cai Niang also sat with Li Er. Although she had eaten, she kept eating braised meat. Li Zhang did not treat her as an outsider, but instead made Zhou Laoshi, who was next to her, feel embarrassed.

Li Zhang took his soup cake and picked up the braised pork cut from the table, and prepared to go to the store to settle the score while eating, but at this time Zhou Laoshi secretly pulled him aside and said, "Brother Li, I have something I want to discuss with you!"

"Uncle Zhou, have you also liked our braised pork?" Li Zhang said immediately when he heard Zhou Laoshi's words. He thought that Zhou Laoshi also wanted to wholesale some braised pork to his soup cake shop. After all, soup cakes and braised pork are also perfect matches.

"No, our two stores are close to each other. If you want to eat braised pork, just come here to buy some. There is no need for me to prepare anymore. I... I want to discuss something related to Cai Niang with you." Zhou Laoshi waved his hand quickly, and at the end he became a little hesitant.

"Cai Niang?" Li Zhang became even more confused when he heard this. What is Cai Niang's thing that needs Zhou Laoshi to discuss with him?

"This..." Zhou Laoshi rubbed his hands at this time, hesitated for a moment before saying, "You know, I am just a precious daughter like Cai Niang, so naturally I don't want her to marry outside, so I want to hire a son-in-law for her. Of course, this son-in-law can't be found casually, I see you..."

"I can't do it. I have a sister in my family that needs to be taken care of. This may disappoint you, Uncle Zhou!" Li Zhang thought Zhou was going to be his son-in-law when he heard this, so he waved his hand quickly. In fact, he had no prejudice against his son-in-law. If he really liked the other party, it would be nothing to be a son-in-law. But he is still young and has no idea about Cai Niang, so he naturally doesn't want to.

"Brother Li misunderstood. I know you are a capable person. You must not be so wronged. But I think your wild dog is pretty good. Although you don't talk much, you are a down-to-earth person, so I want to ask you to talk to him and see if he is willing?" Zhou Laoshi saw Li Zhang's misunderstanding, and he hurriedly explained.

"Uh?" Li Zhang also blushed when he heard this. Although Zhou was honest and polite, he actually didn't like him. He was just so self-indulgent just now.

But as long as it is not himself, Li Zhang also agreed. Anyway, he was just passing on a message. Whether he was willing to do so depends on the attitude of the wild dog?
