Chapter 364
After a meal, Li Anran became more and more curious about where the chefs in this seafood building learned the cooking skills. Although the Academy of Geology has held a chef training class for a while, it is rare to be able to master this heat in such a short time even in modern time and space.
Fortunately, curious, the purpose of this time was not to investigate how this table of good dishes was made. While drinking tea after meals, Li Anran asked about the shipbuilding industry and shipping in Quanzhou. By the way, Li Rui also learned the reason why the other party wanted to speak out several times but stopped.
Compared to Li Anran's surprise at the cooking skills of the chef at Seafood Building, Li Rui was even more surprised by his employer's good appetite. He was full of dishes. Even if he was hungry for a few days, he would eat at most one-fifth of it and then hold on. But when the other party was so happy, he and the book boy ate all the remaining four-fifths together.
Even if there was a part of it for the waiter to give it to Kunlun slaves who were in charge of the carriage, in Li Rui's opinion, such appetite was definitely not something that a rich child should have. But if the other party was the same as him, or if he was just glamorous on the outside and actually had been hungry for a few days, not to mention that the money given to him was pure, the carriage alone was not something that ordinary people could get.
"Li Rui, you have tried to speak a few times before, just want me to advance some wages to you?" Li Anran looked at the other party with a cup of tea, the spring water he brought, the tea set he brought, and the fragrant tea brewed by Su Xiaomei, who was disguised as a man, and said with a smile.
"When the husband laughed, Li Rui had no choice. If he couldn't make money today, his family would be out of food. Moreover, he had finished taking my mother's medicine, so he asked me to help him." Because of the previous words, Li Rui, who temporarily put down the so-called literati style (tragedy) and politely said with a bow.
"That's it..." When he knew that the other party was going to advance some wages, he expected that the other party would have a similar answer. He smiled faintly and said, "It's still early today. Since the old lady is not in good health, please wait for the sword and ask Obama to prepare the car. Let's go to Li Rui's house to visit the old lady."
"Yes, young master." Su Xiaomei, who transformed into a book boy, agreed obediently.
At this point, if Su Xiaomei still couldn't see that the young master from home had fallen in love with Li Rui, it would have been a waste of time to follow the other party.
Of course, this flirting cannot be the basic relationship between men, but the other person is also a well-read poet. In addition, although the other person is a literati, he can put down his figure and make money to support his family. Not to mention the other person, he is just filial to his mother and loves his younger brothers and sisters.
However, these are just heard from the other party. If you want to know more, you must come to visit the door. After all, Su Xiaomei has heard her young master tell a lot of stories about fraud, so it is impossible for her to easily believe the other party because of this "old-fashioned" reason.
"Mr. Lang, this... isn't right." Faced with such a decision, Li Rui said unexpectedly.
But in an unexpected situation, he quickly realized that the other party should be trying to verify his family background, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly at his situation.
"Li Rui, maybe I didn't make it clear before. Although I came to Quanzhou this time to build an industry, I also know some medical skills, and my medical skills are pretty good." After tasting the fragrant tea in the cup, Li Anran said: "Didn't you say that the old lady is seriously ill? Meeting is fate. If you can help me, I will naturally be willing to do this."
"So, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Rui, who knew that he had no qualifications to refuse, stood up and bowed solemnly, and said.
He was about to go to someone else's house, although he was going to help, and Li Rui was also his temporary subordinate. But after all, he was going to visit his elders, so Li Anran could not be so rude that he came to the door empty-handed. While drinking tea, Su Xiaomei ordered some dishes suitable for the elderly in the seafood building, and prepared several large meat dishes for Li Rui's younger brother and sister to eat.
Li Anran was surprised again. This was that the seafood building not only operated high-end banquets, but also provided white flour steamed buns, steamed buns with various fillings (buns) and other pasta that could be eaten as staple foods. So Su Xiaomei bought twenty each of them.
Although Li Anran also knew that the money spent on buying these dishes and pasta was enough for Li Rui’s family to spend a while. But gifts are gifts, and salary is salary, and the two cannot be confused. If you really give yourself a lot of rice, flour, oil and salt, don’t talk about whether the other party will accept it, it may not be beneficial to your plan if you accept it.
With the opening of the silver coins, the dishes and pasta were soon prepared. Since there were still a lot of quantities, the Seafood House also provided several three-story food boxes. As for those pasta, they were wrapped with lotus leaves picked and steamed in summer. This thing was clean and had the fragrance of lotus leaves, which was most suitable for wrapping food.
After the Seaweed Tower prepared everything, I originally wanted to spend the copper coins that Li Rui had just found, but then I thought about it and took out the silver croquette on my body to pay the money. Not to mention the dishes on this table, plus the packaged ones, the price is really not cheap, and it is far from affordable for ordinary people to eat.
After everyone got on the Kunlun slave and had already pulled him to the carriage outside the Seafood Building, Li Rui still did not get into the carriage. After asking, he realized that the other party had long seen that Su Xiaomei was dressed as a man, so it was impossible to ride in the same car with the opposite sex in order to avoid suspicion. At the same time, sitting outside with Kunlun slave can also facilitate guidance.
Under Li Rui's guidance, the carriage walked for a while before he arrived in front of a small courtyard.
If the place where the Seafood Building was located was a wealthy area, then the area you came to after a long journey could definitely be considered a slum in Quanzhou City. Along the way, the houses on both sides of the road were also very dilapidated. Li Anran didn't think enough about the feeling of occasionally passing by the villages in modern time and space before.
But even so, during the conversation with Li Rui, Li Anran learned that the house was not owned by the other party, but rented a room in the house.
Although the carriage that Li Anran came out this time was not as eye-catching as when he went to Feng's mansion, for the people living in this area, it was still as eye-catching as the Porsche Cayenne suddenly came from a village in the modern time and space city. The story about the Li family's husband taking the nobles home in a carriage, it soon spread.
Just as Li Rui led the way to lead Li Anran and Su Xiaomei into the courtyard, he turned around and saw a person he didn't want to see the most, the landlord.
"Li Rui has met Grandma Lu." Out of habit, Li Rui politely said.
"Langjun Li is here to visit." Grandma Lu, who looks like chicken skin and crane hair, looks at the master and servant who are following the other party, and swallows it again when she says something about urging the rent.
There is no way, no matter how low-key Li Anran and Su Xiaomei are, they will not treat themselves badly. Although the clothes on their bodies are not traditional styles of the Tang Dynasty, they are all made of good silk. In addition, the sachets and jade pendants hanging around their waists, with Grandma Lu's experience of doing needlework for a lifetime, it is naturally not difficult to see that the two behind Li Rui are either rich or noble.
"Grandma Lu, please let Li Rui talk after receiving the distinguished guests?" Li Rui, who knew that the other party was blocking her so-called "I said politely.
"Okay, okay, since you are a distinguished guest, you can't neglect it. Just go, Langjun Li, don't worry." Looking at the blue shirt on the other party, he didn't know that Li Rui should be climbing up the high branch and was about to make a breakthrough soon, so he would not be so stupid that he would make things difficult for the other party at this time.
