The entrance to the east city of Chang'an City.
The business of the Wonton House is getting better and better. Today, the Wonton House has opened five branches, and the store at the entrance of Dongshi has been transformed into a large three-story store after many repairs and decorations.
The first floor is a hall for ordinary people to eat, the second floor is a private room for officials, wealthy businessmen, nobles and other wealthy people to eat, and the third floor is a private room that provides drinks and other services for the wealthy people in the East City to discuss business. .
Of course, the drinks on the third floor are free, but the premise is that the customer must be a member of this wonton shop.
Li Chengqian is now considered a wealthy person in Chang'an City. He has made a lot of money from this wonton shop.
But Li Chengqian has not forgotten how miserable he looked when he was in poverty, so after he achieved success, he still worked hard every day, and he and his wife personally managed the business of various wonton shops.
"Mr. Niu, take your time. Welcome to come again next time."
Li Chengqian smiled and sent away the wealthy businessman named Niu. This wealthy businessman was not simple. He had more than a dozen shops in Chang'an City, mainly engaged in the silk business. On the way west, he was found in every city. business, but mainly business in the Western Regions.
In recent years, he has made a lot of money thanks to the good situation. Every time he comes to Dongshi to discuss business, he will come to his wonton shop to spend money, and he will also bring other businessmen with him.
Of course, these people still respect him very much. After all, his status was there. Even if he was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, he was still the emperor's son after all.
"Master Li, stay here. You are a bad person."
Li Chengqian smiled. Now he has long forgotten his past identity. Now he is just a commoner with a little money in his hand.
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as Li Chengqian was about to turn around and go back to the house to continue greeting other guests, he heard a very familiar cough from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was his former uncle Changsun Wuji.
Li Chengqian was stunned. He had never seen his uncle since he was deposed. What did his uncle mean that he came to visit him in person today?
"The common people have seen Lord Changsun, but they didn't know that Lord Changsun was coming, and they didn't go far to greet him. Please don't blame me, Lord Changsun."
"I wonder if Mr. Changsun is eating or drinking?"
Li Chengqian was neither humble nor arrogant, he just cupped his fists towards Changsun Wuji. Although he said so, his eyes were full of disgust.
When he once lived on the streets and had trouble eating, he had never met anyone from the eldest grandson's family, and he had never received a penny of help from the eldest grandson's family.
It was his third brother, ninth brother, and several younger sisters who rescued him and helped him open this wonton restaurant.
And in his heart, he was like a bright mirror. In these years, people from the Prince of Qin's Palace had been secretly protecting his wonton restaurant.
Changsun Wuji stared at Li Chengqian for a long time, and finally sighed and said with a smile: "Qian'er has grown up and matured a lot."
"The maturity or immaturity of common people has nothing to do with Lord Changsun!"
"I would also like to ask Master Changsun if you want to eat or drink. I will ask you to arrange it for you." Li Chengqian's face was serious, without any change.
"Eat, uncle heard that the wontons in your wonton restaurant are good, come over and try them today..."
"Tomorrow, two guests will be accommodated in a private room on the third floor."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he walked into the hall alone, started busy packing things, and then went to check out the guests.
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian's busy appearance and felt bad in his heart. He was once the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Since he was born, he has never touched the spring water with his fingers.
Not to mention, serving these lowly people here.
"Gan'er, oh... I've suffered so much for you!"
Changsun Wuji took the staff around him and followed the servant up to the third floor and came to a private room.
"If Your Majesty saw Qian'er, I don't know how he would feel in his heart."
"But since His Majesty expelled Qian'er from the palace and demoted him to a commoner, he has never seen Li Chengqian. Even the Queen is not allowed to meet him. He is really cruel."
The two sat down, and not long after, they saw the waiter bringing two bowls of steaming wontons and two plates of side dishes, and then a pot of strong wine.
The staff quickly filled Changsun Wuji's glass of wine. After Changsun Wuji had a drink, he asked in a low voice: "Master, tell me, if we show the prince his cards now, will he agree?"
Changsun Wuji didn't say anything, but picked up the chopsticks and started eating with great taste.
"Hahaha, this tastes really good, you should try it too..."
The staff sighed inwardly and had no choice but to eat too.
"This man is tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. It's quite delicious to eat this kind of meal once in a while, but if you have to eat this kind of meal every day, you will definitely not be able to stand it."
"Qian'er was once the crown prince. The future master of this world is used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food. He just likes this peaceful and carefree life for the time being."
"But if he is allowed to return to that kind of life of fine clothing and fine food, and someone has paved the way for him, he will naturally go back."
"What the head of the family said is absolutely true."
"My subordinates will go and invite His Highness here."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "You can't invite him, unless you threaten him..."
The staff member turned pale and was frightened. He smiled bitterly and said, "Master, how dare you threaten His Highness!"
"If you give me a hundred courages, my subordinates won't even dare!"
"Hahaha, don't you dare. You won't be able to see Qian'er today, and you won't be able to tell him our thoughts."
"Ah this..."
"Subordinate, please dare to threaten me!"
"Go!" Changsun Wuji picked up some green vegetables, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
His eldest son, Sun Wuji, had endured it for so long, and now he couldn't bear it anymore. If he continued to endure it any longer, let alone the crown prince's position, even the throne would have nothing to do with Gan'er.
Once Li Ke comes to power, the first person to be trampled to death will be his eldest grandson Wuji.
Downstairs, the staff found Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Master Li, the eldest grandson has invited you."
Li Chengqian frowned and said in a cold voice: "Today you will eat for free. I have other things to do, so I won't go see Lord Changsun."
"If what I did offended you, please forgive me, or if you want to vent, I don't dare to stop you."
"But this is the foot of the emperor. Even Lord Changsun wouldn't dare to do anything wrong!"
Staff: "..."
The staff was anxious and said quickly: "Boss Li, there are bugs in your food. Please go up and explain, otherwise this matter will not end today."
Li Chengqian's face turned dark.
