Although it was not too far away, only three squares apart, the two of them still took a carriage to the East Market. Li Kai could always take these details into consideration. After all, this was in Chang'an City, and it would be a big deal if it was not easy to bump into someone. Troubles.
"Just now Princess Qin mentioned that the generals from Hebei will return to the capital?"
"Well, it's mainly the generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace." Li Kai whispered: "The Prince of Qin hosted a banquet and talked about that matter during the dinner..."
Li Shan was a little confused when he heard that. Li Shimin laughed and scolded Cheng Yaojin's eldest son Cheng Chumo for not being good at academics. As a result, several of the Qin Prince's children were angry... Isn't this making trouble for me?
I don't know what Li Shimin wants to do. Li Shan is vaguely aware that it may be due to information asymmetry. Li Shimin doesn't know... The Pei family and Li Dewu haven't realized that this Li Shan is the other Li Shan.
After hearing Li Shan hesitate a few words, Li Kai grinned, "The Pei family really didn't notice?"
"At least he didn't notice."
Li Kai was surprised by Li Shan's firm tone. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the method is really good."
Li Shan was not surprised. After all, he was so familiar with Li Kai. He also knew that Li Kai was very thoughtful. From this sentence, he realized that he had placed an informant around Li Dewu.
"You can't sit still and wait for death. When brother Xiaoqing went to Zhujiagou for the first time, he happened to meet an old servant. Later, brother Xiaoqing admitted that the younger brother was worse than him... A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds."
At the end of the words, there was a hint of indignation and hatred. Li Kai was quite emotional. He and his parents were privately puzzled as to why Li Dewu was so unwise. With such a beautiful son, the family's rebirth is not far away in the future. .
Suppressing the hatred pouring out of his chest, Li Shan changed the topic, "I heard that the restaurant is packed with guests?"
Li Shan had this temperament in his previous life, and everyone said he was a good old man, and he was happy to have this very confusing mask.
Everything that happened to him in his previous life made Li Shan always have hatred in his chest, but he suppressed it... He just didn't want to become a symbol of hatred, and he didn't think about anything but hatred.
Li Kai took the conversation cooperatively and said with a smile: "It is true that the house is packed with guests. I was a little worried at first, but I didn't expect..."
Indeed, beyond the expectations of Li Kai, Li Zhaode and Wang Renbiao, Li Shan personally drew the drawings and even discussed the renovation and decoration with the craftsmen in person.
On the day it was completed, Li Zhaode thought he had made a mistake. The style of this restaurant was so different from that of this era.
Although Li Shan was not a rich man in his previous life, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. He did not set up private rooms like ordinary restaurants and restaurants, but all private rooms. There was a considerable distance between any two private rooms. distance to ensure sound insulation.
The decoration is elegant, there is a lot of greenery, winding corridors and gravel paths, making people think that this is the backyard of a dignitary, not a restaurant.
Coupled with the specific reservation mode and the novel way of cooking in iron pots, it quickly gained popularity.
Li Kai's suspicion mainly focused on the way of dining. After long consideration, Li Shan decided to use the shared meal system instead of the divided meal system.
In the early Tang Dynasty, most wealthy families still had separate meals, but in actual history, the shared meal system began in the Tang Dynasty.
Until he got off the carriage and entered the restaurant, Li Kai was still amazed. It had not been open for a month, but the reservations were already scheduled for a month later. It was a miracle in the business world.
"Finally here."
Li Zhaode had arrived a long time ago. His father Li Qianyou was a confidant of King Qi. He didn't want to visit at dusk. He went to congratulate his aunt on her birthday early in the morning, and then came here to wait.
"Brother Seven, take a rest for now. Brother Li, let's go take a look..."
"Let's go!" Li Shan walked to the kitchen neatly. He was really afraid that the chef wouldn't be able to cook it... After all, it was rare for children from aristocratic families to eat beef, and there were really not many chefs who knew how to cook it.
"This is a big Qinchuan ox today. Tsk tsk, just the brisket would be better... Is it called brisket?"
"Hmm, beef brisket is best stewed." Li Shan swallowed unconsciously. He likes to eat beef brisket stewed with tomatoes the most... It's a pity. If it were tomorrow, it might be possible, and he would never be able to eat tomatoes in this life. .
After working in the kitchen for a while, Li Shancai felt relieved. Seeing Li Zhaode eating there, he thought about it and went out... When the restaurant was renovated, he specially set up a toilet.
A young man came towards him. Li Shan, who was in a hurry to go to the toilet, didn't pay attention. But when he came back after washing his hands, three young men were blocked on the road.
"Li Shan of Dongshan Temple?"
Li Shan squinted his eyes as he looked at the three people opposite him. On the left was a tall and thin man, on the right was a fat man. In the middle was a strong young man with fierce intent in his eyes and two thick arms ready to attack.
"May I ask who the three of you are..."
"He is Li Shan." The tall and thin man snorted. He remembered clearly that the kick on his waist was kicked by the guy in front of him. The pain was so painful that he couldn't get out of bed for three days.
Without saying a word, the sturdy young man stepped forward and punched. Li Shan quickly took two steps back to avoid it, "Wait a moment and strike slowly."
The opponent turned a deaf ear and followed up with another kick.
"boom!"
This kick kicked the decorative vase away, hitting the wall and breaking into pieces with a loud crash.
"Wow."
The door not far away was opened, and someone peeked out. When they saw a fight, they immediately closed the door.
Li Shan put his hands together to resist the opponent's punch, thinking that this guy has not yet been crowned, but he has great strength.
The sturdy young man was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this man seemed weak, but he was very strong.
Li Shan really didn't want to fight. Although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, he vaguely guessed his origin.
But this was not a fight that Li Shan could just avoid if he didn't want to fight. The strong young man pressed forward step by step and looked very organized. Li Shan suffered a lot. He was punched on his left shoulder and also punched on his forehead. It rubbed, and it hurt.
"Pauline!"
Li Kai rushed over and said sternly: "Stop!"
The tall and thin young man retorted: "Brother Demou, what you said is inappropriate. Your father and I are colleagues, but do you want to take advantage of us?"
"Du Gou!" Li Kai shouted with a sullen face: "I don't have the guts to do anything, I will only instigate others!"
Li Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard the name Du Gou. If he remembered correctly, this was Du Ruhui's eldest son.
Speaking of which, Li Shan first became famous because of the Dongshan Temple inspection incident. Du Ruhui returned without success. Du Gou had long heard of the name Li Shan. He was kicked in a wine shop a month ago... Du Gou had been looking for him for a long time. I had a chance to vent my anger.
"boom!"
Li Shan, who was distracted, was knocked over by the strong young man's punch. His cheek immediately swelled and turned purple.
One of the six or seven young men who came over said, "Brother Yuchi, forget it."
This sturdy young man is Yuchi Baolin, the eldest son of the famous general Yuchi Gong. He accompanied his father on the expedition to Hebei and only returned to Beijing a few days ago.
The descendants of the Prince of Qin were headed by Chang Sun Chong, and Yuchi Gong had defeated the Tang army many times in those years, and his status was quite embarrassing. Therefore, Yuchi Baolin had always been obedient to Chang Sun Chong, and was provoked by Du Gou to take action with just a few words during the dinner.
Yuchi Baolin looked back. Changsun Chong in the crowd was a little at a loss... Come on, give him another kick. After all, Li Kai has already stood up and he can't give him any face.
After kicking him, Yuchi Baolin was still thinking, I don't know if Changsun Chongman was dissatisfied, but it was good to be able to overpower Cheng Chumo.
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Zhijie were both commanders of the Xuanjia Army, and they were also in competition with each other.
At this moment, Li Shan, who couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly shrank back and squatted on the ground. He put his left arm in front of his face to block the kick. Then he grabbed the foot and lifted it violently.
Amidst the exclamations of the people around him, Li Shan stood up and kicked Yuchi Baolin hard in the air with his right foot.
