Chapter 77 Liu E and Zhao Zhen
Li Ji braised pork is open all day and it is not closed until the curfew in the evening. However, Li Ji breakfast only does morning and morning business, and closes at noon. This is also the business hours of the general breakfast shop. In this way, it will not compete with Zhou Laoshi's soup cake shop for customers. After all, everyone is friends. Last time, Zhou Laoshi spent money to buy his stewed noodles, which also helped him a lot.
However, Li Zhang never expected that when breakfast time had passed, Liu E actually brought people in, which explained why there were fewer and fewer customers in the store. After all, as the mother of the country, she must have brought many people even when traveling in casual clothes. With them here, she probably would have stopped the customers in the store.
"No need to be polite!" Liu E said with a smile at this time, and beside her, there was a boy about ten years old. He was tall, but he was chubby and very cute, with very upright facial features, especially his big eyes were very eye-catching. At this time, he was also looking at Li Zhang and his shop curiously.
Seeing the boy next to Liu E, Li Zhang was shocked and immediately guessed that the other party was probably the prince of the Song Dynasty, which was Liu E's nominal son Zhao Zhen, and his cousin. This made him look carefully at the other party, and found that Zhao Zhen actually looked quite similar to him. In addition, because of Li Zhang's lack of nutrition, he looked about the same height as Zhao Zhen, two years younger than him. The two of them even looked a bit like twin brothers when they stood together.
At this time, Zhao Zhen also discovered that Li Zhang looked very similar to him. At this time, he couldn't help but touch his face, and a very curious look appeared in his eyes. He probably didn't expect to see a peer who looked so similar to him here.
"Why, don't you invite us mother and son to come in and sit?" Seeing Li Zhang staring at Zhao Zhen, Liu E next to him suddenly said with a smile. When she first met Li Zhang, she had a good impression of Li Zhang. In addition to Li Zhang's cleverness and speaking, his appearance was also a plus. It was because Li Zhang looked so similar to his son that she unconsciously let go of her guard against Li Zhang.
"Madam, please come in!" Li Zhang finally woke up when he heard this. He asked Liu E and his son to enter the store. Because the store was empty, Liu E chose a seat to sit down, and Zhao Zhen also sat behavedly beside her.
"Didn't you say you were selling braised pork last time? Why has it turned out to be selling breakfast now?" Liu E also turned her head and looked at the situation in the store and asked.
"This store is newly opened, and the braised meat shop next to it is mine, but since the lady is here, should I try the breakfast in our store? The soup dumplings and Hu La Tang in our store are very popular!" Li Zhang smiled and recommended. Although he guessed Liu E's identity, he did not show it at all. After all, he was a human being in his two lives and he took many things lightly.
"I have heard from others that your buns are more delicious than the buns in Wanglou. I happened to take Yi'er to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for his father yesterday. When I got home this morning, I happened to pass by the nearby place, so I came to you to sit there!" Liu E also smiled and said.
She likes Li Zhang's cleverness. In comparison, although Zhao Zhen is her son, he seems a little dull and not as smart as Li Zhang, so she brought her son to her today just to let him learn from Li Zhang.
"Okay, then I'll have a basket of buns and a bowl of Hu spicy soup. I wonder what Brother Yi wants to eat?" Li Zhang agreed immediately, and then asked Zhao Zhen next to him. If he remembered correctly, Zhao Zhen's original name should be Zhao Shouyi, and it was later changed to Zhao Zhen. So when Liu E called him Yi's anger, Li Zhang also confirmed his identity.
"Me?" Zhao Zhen didn't seem to expect Li Zhang to ask himself alone. He turned his head to look at Liu E next to him, and then said, "It's the same as my mother!"
Li Zhang immediately agreed, then turned around and went to get them buns and soup. However, through the conversation just now, he also found that Zhao Zhen really had no opinion. Of course, this is normal. According to psychology, most children with a strong mother usually show a little cowardly and a more easy-going personality. This is the same as Zhao Zhen in history. Even if Bao Zheng was spitting on his face, he was not angry at all as the emperor. This is also the main reason why he is called Renzong.
After a while, Li Zhang brought the buns and Hu La Tang, but at this time, Mrs. Liu suddenly called him and said, "Have you eaten?"
"The store is a little busy, and I didn't have time to eat." Li Zhang scratched his head at this time. Before, because Jin Xiaomei suddenly came, he had no time to have breakfast.
"That happens. I see that there are no other customers in the store. Why don't you sit down and eat with us!" Mrs. Liu said again. Although there is a meaning of inquiries in her words, her tone is unquestionable.
"Okay, I'll get some more food!" Li Zhang nodded immediately. He had already figured out Liu E's temper. Generally, as long as there is no small matter involving principles, he would definitely follow her.
Li Zhang also brought him some food. He was really hungry at this time, so he brought himself two cages of buns. As a result, Liu E couldn't help but say to Zhao Zhen next to him: "Look at him, he is about the same age as you, but he eats twice as much as you, so that he can grow up!"
"I..." I... Zhao Zhen also blushed at this time, trying to refute but didn't know how to speak. Fortunately, Li Zhang rescued him at this time, "Madam has misunderstood. If I don't work, I usually can't eat so much. Moreover, I think Brother Yi is smaller than me, but he is as tall as me. His body is much stronger than me!"
Zhao Zhen is indeed a good-nature. Not only did he not take his anger on Li Zhang because of his mother's words, he was also very grateful to Li Zhang for helping him. He smiled at him friendly. Then Li Zhang called Liu E and his son to try his own buns, which also diverted Liu E's attention.
The soup buns tasted a bit troublesome. Li Zhang first demonstrated it, and then Liu E and his son also took a bun and bit it. The delicious soup also overflowed. Both of them were scalded, but they were quickly impressed by the deliciousness of the buns. Although they were usually frugal, they rarely ate this kind of food on the street, which made the two of them feel very fresh. In addition, the buns were indeed delicious, which made them praise them.
Li Zhang was not polite either. He quickly filled two baskets of buns into his stomach with one mouthful of soup. He also saw that Zhao Zhen seemed to be still a little unsatisfied after he finished eating, so he asked again: "Is Brother Yi full? Do you want to have another basket?"
Zhao Zhen seemed a little moved, but he was a little embarrassed. Instead, Liu E said again: "Then put it in another basket, just so happens that I want to eat two more!"
Hearing Liu E say this, Li Zhang immediately brought another bag. Zhao Zhen immediately buried his head and continued to eat buns. Liu E did not move her chopsticks anymore. Instead, she smiled and said to Li Zhang: "How are you doing during this period? Have you encountered any trouble in your life?"
"I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. I feel that I've lived a pretty good life, but my peach blossoms have been a bit prosperous recently, and someone always wants to introduce me to my marriage." Li Zhang replied with a smile. He now thinks that Liu E is an ordinary elder, and the two have no blood relationship yet, which makes him more relaxed.
"Haha~, isn't it a good thing for someone to tell you about marriage?" Liu E couldn't help laughing when she heard Li Zhang's words.
"Good things are good things, but I never thought of getting married so early, not to mention that I have a sister to take care of, and I don't have any intention of getting married." Li Zhang expressed his thoughts again.
Last time Liu Mei insisted on marrying her daughter to Li Zhang, he also speculated that the other party might be instructed by Liu E, so Li Zhang took this opportunity to tell Liu E that he did not intend to get married, and he didn't know whether it was useful, but at least he expressed his attitude.
"My sister needs to take care of her, and the marriage cannot be delayed. But why didn't your sister see her?" Liu E said lightly at this time, and then asked Li'er again.
"It must have been to play. Do I want her to come to see you?" Li Zhang leaned out and looked at the backyard. He didn't see Li'er's figure, so he answered.
"No need, there is time to see her in the future. I came to see you today. In fact, there is an important thing I want to tell you." Liu E waved her hand at this time. She seemed to be not very interested in Li'er, but this is normal. After all, in this era of boyishness over girls, girls are not valued in any aspect.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhang couldn't help but lean forward when he heard Liu E's words. At this time, Zhao Zhen also finished eating the buns. He was stunned when he heard his mother's words. It seemed that before he came, Liu E didn't tell him the purpose of coming here, let alone know about Li Zhang's relationship with him.
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to call your father and Xiaowu. Let's talk about it when they come!" Liu E said again with a smile. It seemed that she was not here like what she said just now, but had planned it.
