Liu Haojia fought with the captain in modern times and visited all over the world. Moreover, as mercenaries make money quickly, they spend it quickly too! These people who wander between life and death always spend the money they have earned with their lives without hesitation in exchange for various luxuries and services, of which food is the most popular option!
So he has really eaten a lot of delicious food from all over the world, but even so, he was still surprised when he saw this table!
Not to mention anything else, the nearly three-foot-long yellow croaker on the silver plate in the center of the table was something he couldn't even eat in his previous life! So he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face! As for Liu's father and Liu Haonian, they were simply stunned!
Although Uncle Gu Ning's mansion has grown in prosperity and accumulated more money in recent years, the Liu family still retains the habit of living a simple life! The only changes were that the clothing materials became more expensive and the food became richer, but they were absolutely not willing to spend a lot of money to eat such a fish!
Zhang Shunping was naturally very proud when he saw the expressions of Liu's father and Liu Haonian, but when he saw Liu Haojia, he found that there was only a hint of surprise on his face! And he calmed down immediately afterwards! He couldn't help but admire how stable this young man's mind was!
To be honest, when he first came into contact with Liu's father, he thought he would be like those down-and-out nobles. They were obviously so poor that they were living in poverty, but they still put on high airs!
However, after the two parties came into contact, he found that the other party was a very peaceful person, but he was a little dissatisfied with his thoughts of loyalty to the emperor, serving the country and getting rich on the battlefield. But in other aspects, the two of them are very compatible, otherwise the two would not become good friends.
In the past, when two people drank together, the side dishes were just ordinary home-cooked dishes. Rich dishes like these are more to show the strength of my family, so as to tell the Liu family that I am an ally that can continue to cooperate!
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Zhang Shunping warmly greeted the Liu family and his son to the table and said: "Come, come, come, all sit down! Don't worry about sister-in-law, I have two concubines to maintain there, and the dishes are all the same of!"
Father Liu said: "Brother, we are all our own people, why do we have to be so extravagant?"
Zhang Shunping said: "It doesn't matter, this is just to entertain my brother and his family, and I wouldn't be able to bear it if it were anyone else! I can't afford this banquet without 600 taels of silver, and I feel bad for it!"
Father Liu laughed after hearing this, and sat down with Liu Haojia. After that, things naturally changed from cup to cup and they had a lot of fun. Under Zhang Shunping's deliberate guidance, the two of them also recalled the scene when they first made acquaintance, and they were both very emotional!
Zhang Shunping said with emotion: "To be honest, I am also blessed by big brother! Come and give you a toast!"
After the two drank the wine, Liu's father said: "It's just some financial matters, how can we talk about fortune!"
Zhang Shunping put down his wine glass and said seriously: "Brother, there is something you don't know. I will return to Nanjing soon, and I may take over the entire Zhang family in the future!"
Father Liu was very surprised when he heard this and said, "You have never told me about this before. What is going on?"
Zhang Shunping picked up the jug and served Liu's father full of wine, and said: "Brother, you should know that I am the third eldest son in the family, and there are two older brothers above me. But you don't know that my family is a direct branch of the Zhang family. My eldest brother and I am from the same mother and my second brother is a concubine!"
Father Liu then said: "No wonder the Zhang family sent you to the capital. It turns out you are the direct descendant of the main branch!"
Zhang Shunping nodded and said: "That's right! In fact, my eldest brother's business skills are also good, but he is a little worse than me. Originally, the family intended for me to take over the position of the head of the family, but it was just because of the orderly inheritance that I couldn't make up my mind. ! This time I came to the capital. With the help of my brother and his family, I not only stabilized the business in Nanjing, but also made money from snow candy and mirror. Now my importance in the family has risen sharply, so they have officially notified me. Go back to Nanjing and be prepared to take over the family in the future!"
Father Liu happily picked up the wine glass and said, "This is a great thing! I have to drink another drink to celebrate. I wish you great success in the future, brother!"
After the two had a pleasant drink, Liu's father said: "Then what will happen to the business in the capital after you leave? Will losing these things affect your status?"
It is appropriate for Father Liu to ask this question. Because Liu Haojia also wanted to know the answer. He doesn't believe that Zhang Shunping can let go of the capital's business, which is the foundation for him to settle down! And he was not interested in the Zhang family's original business. He was only concerned about whether he could continue to sell his mirrors and snow candies?
Sure enough, Zhang Shunping said: "This is simple. I have already written to negotiate with the family members to divide the business in the capital into two parts. One part is the original business, and my eldest brother will take over. As for the business of Xuetang and Mirror I arranged for someone else!"
Father Liu said: "Who is it? Why are you still so mysterious?"
Zhang Shunping smiled slightly, gestured to the servant beside him, then turned back and said, "I'll go get someone."
Then he greeted a few more people to continue enjoying the food. Although the three people were a little confused, they didn't pay much attention.
While they were chatting, a pretty maid came out of the small door leading to the back house. She bowed and said to Zhang Shunping: "Master, the lady is here!"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to lift the door curtain, and a girl walked out from behind the door! This girl is wearing a goose-yellow dress, tied around her waist with a light green ribbon, making her waist look slim and slim! The waist is decorated with several skirt-pressing rings, but they never make any collision sound when walking.
A pair of beautiful big eyes that look like autumn water are twinkling. She doesn't look like an ordinary lady, but looks a bit heroic! The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are red, very cute! But the face shape is not the oval face that people in the Ming Dynasty liked most, but more like the snake face in modern society! But this face shape and the heroic spirit in her eyes complement each other perfectly!
After the girl entered the door, she squatted down and said, "I've met Uncle Liu, I've met the two brothers of the Liu family!"
As soon as this girl came in, the Liu family and his son were all shocked! They originally thought that the person coming in would be a shopkeeper, but they didn't expect it to be such a beautiful girl! And judging from the fact that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is just an adult. Could this be the candidate Zhang Shunping is looking for?
