Son Mo

"Standing on the sidelines" is not Shen Jun's helpless move in order to protect himself.In his opinion, the richest man in Changyang City is not a good family, and there must be many dirty secrets hidden behind it.And the strange disappearance of Si Ruo, the hemiplegia of the ruthless old man's stroke, and the special status of his own grandson's eldest son, the three factors intertwined made Shen Jun suddenly smell a strong breath of death.

Anxious and hesitant, Shen Jun felt deep fear for the second time in his life, and the strong survival instinct hidden deep in his heart prompted him to think of a person——Li Ruijie!

Sun Mansion, Suijian Hall.

Sun Hongyu, the second young master of the Sun family, frowned and raised his hand, and the servant standing behind him hurriedly retreated.After the boy's figure disappeared completely, another middle-aged man suddenly walked in from the side door of Suijian Hall quietly like a ghost.

"Running to the county magistrate's house twice in three days, your elder brother is quite alert."

The middle-aged man's words were full of sarcasm, even with a look of disdain on his face.

Sun Hongyu's triangular eyes flashed a stern look, "The magistrate of Changyang County has scared the owner of the majestic Linglu Fang?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have long been accustomed to the bad attitude of the second young master of the Sun family. Hearing this, he laughed instead of anger, "I never thought that my virtuous brother, who has always been calm, would be so impatient." After a pause, the middle-aged man's expression changed. Leng, "It's not difficult to kill Sun Mo, but it's not easy to deal with the aftermath! Sun Mo's status is special, and he has a close relationship with the two sons of the county magistrate's family. If I get rid of him, the county magistrate will definitely pursue him out of emotion and reason. If you don't find out about me, Linglufang!"

Sun Hongyu's eyes flickered coldly again, "Since senior brother has some concerns and is unwilling to help, then Hongyu can only come by himself! If he is still there, I will always wear the hat of 'Second Young Master of the Sun Family'! Being in charge of the family business is even more criticized by others! I am unwilling to let him die!"

The master of Linglu Fang sneered, "Even if the younger brother can get rid of Sun Mo without anyone noticing it, he doesn't even care about the criticisms from the people in Changyang City. I'm afraid you still won't be able to pass the test of your lord."

"Brother, what do you mean by that!" Sun Hongyu exuded a fierce energy all over his body, and even the owner of Linglufang, who was so familiar, couldn't help frowning at the moment.

I saw the second young master of the Sun family with a gloomy expression, "Could it be possible that father would still blame me for the death of a mourner who was incompatible with his fate? What a joke! Of the four young masters of the Sun family, only I, Sun Hongyu, have the ability to take over the family business." One person, getting rid of Sun Mo is just to change the name, even if I keep Sun Mo alive, the Sun family property can only be handed over to me in the end!"

The owner of Linglu Fang was waiting for Sun Hongyu's words, "Killing or not killing does not affect the younger brother taking over the family business. Why do you have to be so impatient? Your father has been fighting in the shopping mall for more than [-] years. Could it be that you can't guess the little brother?" Why did the actor disappear for no reason? It’s just that you can only suspect in your heart without evidence for the time being. If you touch Sun Mo again, then your father’s conjecture will be confirmed. At that time, he will rest assured to hand over the Sun family property to you?"

Sun Hongyu's inverted triangle eyes moved slightly, and he was still stubborn, "Hongyu is idle, aspiring to be an official, and he is my brother from the same mother. He can't compete with me. Sun Yun is not smart, let alone pose a threat to me. If my father doesn't hand over the family business to me, who else can I give it to!"

"My father is in the prime of his life, even though he is sick and paralyzed, he is still healthy, and he may not be able to give birth to a son..." The owner of Linglu Fang said with a little deep meaning.

"Ridiculous!" Sun Hongyu raised his hand violently, completely refusing to believe it, "Even if my father marries the second wife, it will really add new members to my grandson's family. Could it be that he will let a teenage boy take over the family business after a hundred years? ? It's nonsense!"

"Whether what you said is absurd or not, you can think about it carefully." After a pause, the middle-aged man dropped the last bombshell in a flat tone, "How many of the eighteen big shopkeepers under the Sun family are really loyal to Xian?" Brother? How many of the 32 small shopkeepers are the only ones who follow the lead? Has the general account book of the Sun family been read by the sage? Why did your father not give the name of the main house for so long? Hongyu, Hongyu, your father is right after all. You still have a hand!"

Hearing this, Sun Hongyu frowned and slowly turned around to look at the golden plaque hanging high in front of the hall, a look of uncertainty and hesitation flashed in his eyes...

In this room, the atmosphere in Suijian Hall was a little gloomy, and it was unknown what the two were conspiring and discussing.On that side, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the backyard of the Li residence, following the prestige, I saw the young servant rushing all the way into the study of the Li residence in a panic.

"Young master, something is wrong!" The boy's cheeks flushed bright red, he gasped and shouted loudly, "That guy is here again!"

Li Ruijie was still waving his pen and ink with a calm expression, very elegant, but when he heard this, his expression changed as if he had seen a ghost suddenly, he threw the brush away with his hands, and rubbed the soles of his feet with oil. 'Run to the study door.

Seeing that his master went crazy and fled all the way to the back door of Li's mansion, the servant hurriedly chased him out, shouting all the way:

"Young Master...Little Master... Slow down, wait for me..."

How could his master care about so much!Go forward without hesitation!Turning corners and walking through corridors and aisles, it seems that there is only a small courtyard separated from the small door of the backyard, which is at most a hundred or so steps away.

However, at this moment, Li Ruijie suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and in the next second, Shen Jun who suddenly appeared from some corner was already standing in front of him with a smile!

In an instant, Young Master Xiaojie felt like his heart was going to be broken...

With a proud face, Shen Jun put his arm around Li Ruijie's shoulder and laughed loudly: "Small sample! I guessed that you would escape through the back door! Sure enough, I caught you! Hahahaha..."

It's really interesting to play tricks on Mr. Xiaojie these days, and every time the other party is tricked, he looks aggrieved but dares not to speak out, which makes Shen Jun enjoy it and make trouble every day.

On the other hand, Li Ruijie glanced at Shen Jun with a look of lovelessness on his face, and could only turn around and walk back with his head drooping.

Shen Jun was very dissatisfied, "He always puts on a bad face, it doesn't look like the way the county magistrate's family should treat guests at all, why do you dislike me so much, brat!"

Li Ruijie lowered his head silently, sulking alone.The young servant from the Li family who was following behind couldn't bear it first and said: "Of course! My young master is so tired of you coming to the mansion as a guest. Face is always teasing, my young master is a little afraid of you..."

As soon as the little servant finished speaking, he suddenly felt two eye knives 'chug chug' shot towards him in front of him.The little servant shivered violently, and he didn't care about the safety of his young master at the moment, he turned his head and ran away as if in a hurry...

The county magistrate's family is far from being as rich and grand as the Sun's family, the richest man in Changyang, but it is elegant and simple, and it is not comparable to ordinary rich people.Li Ruijie and Shen Jun walked side by side in the quiet and quiet back garden of Li's family. There were no servants in the front and back, and no maidservants in the left and right.

The breeze blowing still has a bit of chill, but the plants in the garden have sprouted and tendered one after another, rushing to announce the arrival of spring.The two young masters walked forward silently without speaking, the former was silent because of the resistance in his heart, and the latter was slightly silent because he was distracted because he was worried about his own situation.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Young Master Xiaojie realized that Shen Jun seemed a little too quiet today, completely different from usual.He glanced at the latter sideways, and seeing Shen Jun's fuzzy expression, it was obvious that something was on his mind.Li Ruijie frowned and still didn't speak. He turned his head and continued to walk towards the study, but his pace slowed down a lot.

"Xiao Jiejie, I want to ask you something..." Shen Jun broke the silence first.

Li Ruijie said coldly, "I don't know."

Shen Jun raised his forehead, with a face full of tears and laughter, "I just want to ask the county magistrate when he will return to Changyang City. Do you still know about this?"

Li Ruijie glanced at Shen Jun expressionlessly, "Why are you so worried about my father's return date? Or did you commit some crime and want to ask my father for mercy?" After a pause, he said, "The prince committed the same crime as the common people. Not the kind of stupid officials who cheat and cover up criminals!"

"Where is all this nonsense! To tell you the truth, I'm in a bad situation now..." Shen Jun's voice suddenly became deep.Hearing this, Mr. Xiaojie turned his head to look over again, and saw Shen Jun with a nervous expression on his face, "In the past five or six days, I've been feeling restless, I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, so I just went to the latrine to relax. Shit is terrified, afraid that Sun Hongyu will send someone to do something to me..."

"Are you kidding me?" Li Ruijie frowned even tighter, his face full of disgust, "As long as you look crazy and happy all day long, even if I look blind, I can't find the slightest sign of 'anxiety'. Say, why did Sun Hongyu want to harm you?"

Shen Jun smiled helplessly, "What could it be for? Isn't it all caused by the Sun family's family business..."

"You take yourself too seriously!" Li Ruijie sneered, not without ridicule, "Everyone in Changyang knows that the second young master of the Sun family must be the one who will take over the Sun family in the future, but you, the eldest young master of the Sun family, are you?" A few people know about it. Sun Hongyu has everything going smoothly, and when he is enjoying himself, how could he take the risk of self-destruction and harm you?"

"I hope it's just my unfounded worries, otherwise one day the corpses will really be laid on the street, and I'm afraid there won't even be a body collector..." Shen Jun changed his serious expression from before to a playful smiling face, "Hey! Don't tell me These unlucky words, I actually came here today to ask you to help me with a small matter, how about it? Little handsome guy, give me some face~"

Li Ruijie continued to look paralyzed, "Father will come back in the middle of this month, please wait slowly."

"Understood, uh... that's not what I'm talking about." While speaking, Shen Jun pretended to be affectionate and leaned closer to Li Ruijie, who immediately hid away vigilantly.

Shen Jun clicked his tongue, "Jiejie, you have a lot of contacts, can you help me find a middleman, preferably someone who can bargain when buying things, and who is not well-known in our Changyang City."

"It's not difficult, the question is what do you want to do?" Li Ruijie doubted.

Shen Jun chuckled, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to buy an old house..."

☆, Chapter 32

Within two days, Mr. Xiaojie really helped Shen Jun find a bargaining aunt. It is said that this aunt is the best in Changyang City for her sharp tongue. One time, he bargained too hard and knocked the seller out, so he failed to make a deal...

However, even such a fierce character still failed to meet the Sun family, because the latter was rich and self-willed, and would rather keep the Shen Garden in ruins than sell it to anyone!

Shen Jun's heart was broken.Right now is an extraordinary period, and Sun Hongyu may plot against him at some point, and I am afraid that he will die without knowing how to die!He didn't want to stay in this right and wrong place in the Sun Mansion for a second, but when Shen Jun was thinking about finding a new house elsewhere, he never thought that a big pie would suddenly hit him.

midnight.

Sun's deep courtyard.

Guozilian's domestic servant walked in front with a lantern in his hand, and Shen Jun and his two followers followed closely behind.The night wind is already cold, but when day and night alternate, it is even colder and colder.A group of four braved the wind and night, and it took about two quarters of an hour to arrive at the destination - Shengjin Courtyard.

This is the second time for Shen Jun to enter the Shengjin Courtyard. The first time he entered by mistake because he was avoiding Li Ruijie, but this time it was the master of the Sun family who personally sent someone to invite him over.

It was late at night, but the Shengjin Courtyard was still brightly lit as if it were daytime. In sharp contrast to it were the two Chinese toon trees in the courtyard.The new year in May should be the time when the branches are sprouting. However, the two tall Chinese toon trees did not show the slightest spring. There is also a strong and pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air...

All of this seemed to reveal to Shen Jun that the Sun family's master was in a dire situation.In less than two months, the Shengjin Courtyard has changed to such a state, how can it not make people sigh...

In the dead of night, the old housekeeper had been waiting outside the wing room door for a long time.When Shen Jun and his party came to the small courtyard, the old man nodded slightly to Shen Jun without saying a word, then turned around and led Shen Jun to push the door into the inner room.The other three volunteered to stand in the courtyard and wait.

Lying on the couch, the elder of the Sun family was covered with a thick velvet quilt, sleeping lightly with his eyes closed.

The middle-aged man is still the richest man in Changyang, and he is still a powerful person who can make the whole city of Changyang tremble with a single stomp.However, after suffering repeated blows, the middle-aged man who was full of ambitions is now gray and old, at least 15 years older than two months ago.Even though he was sleeping on the couch at this moment, he still couldn't hide the tired look on his face.

The wooden door was slightly opened and then closed again, and two night winds took the opportunity to sneak into the wing room and scatter in all directions, causing the five oil lamps and fireworks in the room to tremble slightly.

The middle-aged man in the couch slowly opened his eyes, but he just glanced at Shen Jun indifferently.Immediately, the middle-aged man tried to sit up by supporting his body with his left arm and elbow, but he was unable to do so for a while, and he fell heavily back to the soft couch just after halfway up.

Shen Jun's heart trembled violently, as if he had been stabbed by a needle in an instant. He hurried forward two steps to help, but was grabbed tightly by the old housekeeper beside him.As soon as Shen Jun turned around, the old man shook his head helplessly, but said nothing.

Master Sun finally sat up by relying on his own strength, leaning on the bed and trying to put on a majestic patriarchal posture as much as possible, before he said after a while: "You know why my father called you here tonight?"

"I don't know." Shen Jun lowered his head, pretending not to hear the panting between the other's words.

Master Sun snorted coldly, "Using Li Ruijie's hand to break up Shen Yuan's old house, I thought that such a trick could fool me."

Hearing this, Shen Jun lowered his head even lower, not daring to say anything, but his back felt chills.I thought this old thing is really smart like a ghost...

Master Sun frowned, his eyes were full of sternness, "Even if I set fire to Shen Yuan, I wouldn't be able to pass it on to you, hurry up and die with that thought!"

The pity that had surged in Shen Jun's heart earlier disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly looked up at the middle-aged man in the couch.

"Master Sun called me here in the middle of the night for this reason? Tonight, I will tell you clearly, Master Sun! I don't care about a penny of the wealth of the Sun family, but when the two elders of the Shen family passed away, they left I also swear that I will get back all of my property and old house!"

Master Sun sneered, "That's not a small tone! Let me ask you, the three shops of the Shen family have already belonged to the Sun family. If I don't agree, what can you get back? Or, with Li Ruijie's friendship and the official relationship? Do you also want to fight with me in that shabby little shop on the street?"

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel if they disagreed, the old housekeeper hurried forward to help Mr. Sun pinch the corner of the quilt, and smoothed things over with a smile, "Master, are you tired? Don't keep arguing over such a trivial matter." Go, hurry up and finish the business, Master Zoom and go back."

Master Sun glared at the butler, as if he was very dissatisfied with the latter's talkativeness, and sighed again after a while, "Forget it, you should tell him, anyway, I can't get along with this bastard." It was because she didn't want to see Shen Jun again, leaning on the bed and closing her eyes to sleep.

The old housekeeper smiled, turned to face Shen Jun, "Have you ever been to Huizhi Tower, young master?"

"Never been there, nor heard of it." Shen Jun said truthfully.

"Huizhi Restaurant is located on Ningguan Street. It is one of the three restaurants opened by our Sun family in Changyang City, and it is also the largest restaurant in the city."

Shen Jun immediately said sourly: "Oh! In this way, the grade of Huizhilou must not be low. How can a poor young man like me afford to spend money in that kind of place, don't you think so, housekeeper?"

Master Sun seemed uncomfortable hearing this, so he opened his eyes and gave Shen Jun a cold look.The old housekeeper complained secretly, and kept winking at Shen Jun.

Shen Jun rubbed his nose, "Then what, Huizhilou is the biggest restaurant, then what?"

The old butler was obviously relieved, "Although Huizhilou is big, it is also the least profitable of the three restaurants. The master originally planned to sell it or change it to another shop."

"Oh...but what does this have to do with me?" Shen Jun looked confused.

"According to the meaning of the master, I want you to take over the management of Huizhilou, the young master."

"Water?" Shen Jun was taken aback, thinking how could the old man be so generous to him suddenly?It must be an illusion!illusion!Could it be that the old man took the wrong medicine?

The pie in the sky directly smashed Shen Jun into a daze, thought for a while, and said, "Oh! No, no! Butler, wait a moment, didn't you just say that you were going to sell Huizhilou? I take over the business? This is a bit ridiculous!"

"It's true to sell the property, but there is still a three-month deadline." The old housekeeper explained.

Shen Jun's eyes twitched, "That is to say, I can only be a restaurant owner for three months?"

Master Sun, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, finally couldn't help but shouted: "What about three months? If you have the ability to increase Huizhilou's business by [-]% within the time limit, it will naturally benefit you. If you can do it within three months It still doesn't work, it also proves that you are just a pile of mud that can't support the wall. From now on, don't expect to get anything from me again!"

Shen Jun's expression brightened, his pupils widened, "If I can manage Huizhilou well, what benefits can I get?"

"What kind of benefits do you want?" Master Sun looked at Shen Jun coldly, and asked instead of answering.

"I want Shen Yuan!" Shen Jun almost blurted out without thinking.

"Impossible!" Master Sun refused.

"Then... I want money, I want a lot of money!" Shen Jun made the second best choice.

"How much is a large sum?" Master Sun's eyes darkened.

Shen Jun was full of joy, wondering how much silver taels would be appropriate to report, would [-] be too little?Would one hundred thousand be too much?While hesitating, he suddenly found the old housekeeper winking at him.Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and then looked at Master Sun and hurriedly said: "I don't want cash! I want Huizhilou, yes! I want Huizhilou!"

Hearing this, Master Sun didn't refuse or agree, but closed his eyes and ignored Shen Jun.

The old butler smiled: "Young master, it's late at night, the master is going to rest, you should go back and rest earlier."

Shen Jun glanced at Master Sun again, reluctant to leave: "My father hasn't expressed his opinion yet! Will he give me Huizhilou or not?"

The old housekeeper pushed Shen Jun towards the door, and said with a smile, "Master agreed if he didn't refuse. As for whether you can make money in Huizhilou after three months, it depends on your ability, young master..."

Things are impermanent, but there are definite numbers.The original idea in Shen Jun's mind was very simple, as long as he could live a peaceful life in the grain and oil shop, he would be satisfied without going hungry or freezing.As for the 'take back the Shen family's business' and the like, they were just two outrageous words. Although he was unwilling, he knew very well that he would not be able to achieve what he wanted.

However, the wish that seemed impossible to realize at first has an extra possibility of reversal due to the sudden change of Master Sun's attitude.Shen Jun couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to do this, but he understood that Master Sun might not give him a second chance like this.

Here, in order to firmly grasp the opportunity in front of him, Shen Jun devoted himself wholeheartedly to the operation and management of Huizhilou.On the other side, Young Master Xiaojie immediately seemed much more at ease.

Li Ruijie looked at the crescent moon in the sky with his hands behind his back, "Sun Mo dares to let him take care of Huizhilou with his virtue? I really don't understand what Master Sun is thinking."

"Isn't that right!" The little servant hurriedly echoed in a low voice, "There have been discussions in the city for a long time. There are speculations that the second young master of the Sun family has fallen out of favor, and there are also speculations that Master Sun is about to die, but what everyone talks about the most is It's Young Master Sun." After a pause, the servant said again, "Everyone in Changyang knows that Second Young Master Sun has an older brother, but no one has ever seen him before, and everyone thinks that Young Master Sun is mysterious. I never thought that Master Sun would suddenly show up after falling ill like this, and he would also take over the Huizhi Tower, and now Changyang City would explode!"

Mr. Xiaojie frowned, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes, "I was so afraid of Sun Hongyu at the beginning, I wish I could grow wings and escape to thousands of miles, and now I am taking over Huizhilou with such great fanfare. That guy really wants money but not life..."

☆, Chapter 33

The author has something to say: Please give me a favorite, now there are only 7, I will try to apply for 50 favorites, and see if I can sign a contract successfully

Would Shen Jun be the kind of person who wants money but not life?Don't doubt it, he really is!

Since taking over Huizhilou, Shen Jun immediately put Sun Hongyu behind him, and he himself completely fell into the eyes of money, searching his brains all day long to find ways to increase the restaurant's revenue.

However, after all, Huizhilou is a long-established restaurant that has been in operation for five or six years.There have been three changes in the previous big shopkeeper, and two changes in the head chef.It can be said that all aspects of the restaurant are now perfectly matched, and there is no fault or room for improvement.The reason why Huizhilou's revenue has been unable to increase is not because of Huizhilou's own problems, but because too many new restaurants have opened around Ningguan Street in the past two years.

It is obviously impossible for ordinary means to achieve obvious results in a short period of time.Shen Jun discussed with Xiao Yuanzi for four days, and finally decided to resort to a series of strange moves in an attempt to win by odds.

The first trick: open a tea house in the restaurant; 'gossip and chat'.

Huizhi Building has three floors and is the tallest building on Ningguan Street. However, except for lunch and dinner, it is usually idle for half a day every day.Shen Jun saw this point, and deliberately set aside the first floor for tea house business.

And different from other teahouses, in order to attract customers to enter the store for consumption, ordinary teahouses either find two storytellers or a few actors to support the show.Huizhilou directly invites famous actors from Juxinglou to come and sing a little song every day.

After one song is over, it is the turn of Huizhilou's unique program - "Gossip Chat".Set up a round table in the center of the first floor of Huizhi Building, put some snacks, tea and fruits on the table, and then invite six long-tongued men and women from Changyang City to sit around the table, and gossip about various gossips in the city while eating.

The second trick: beauty reality show.

The third floor of Huizhi Building is a high-end consumer area, but it has always been tepid, nothing more than nothing special.Shen Jun ordered his staff to create an independent space of [-] square meters on the south side of the third floor, and hung a curtain of tulle as a partition.The inner side of the tulle is arranged as a fragrant boudoir, equipped with incense burner, soft couch, dressing table, piano stand, round stool, candlestick, etc. After that, a girl from Yueying Building is invited to live in the fragrant boudoir every day Inside.

Before the gauze, the diners talk happily, but after the gauze, the women are silent, or paint their eyebrows in the mirror, or play the piano for self-entertainment, or play the pen and ink.

The third measure: Membership discounts; takeaway to generate income.

According to the pictures of Shanghe in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the restaurant food delivery scene actually appeared in the Song Dynasty, but Shen Jun did not see it in Changyang City.Reversely deduced from the picture of Shanghe during the Qingming Festival, since the delivery scene can be painted by the painter, it shows that this pioneering work was recognized and feasible at that time.As for the membership system, which can better improve customer loyalty, it is widely used in supermarkets and Internet cafes in modern society, and Shen Jun has no reason not to copy it as well.

The fourth trick: add new dishes.

The first three tricks can only be regarded as little tricks.The icing on the cake can be icing on the cake, but sending charcoal in the snow is probably not enough. After all, the main business of Huizhi is still a restaurant business. If you want to stand out from the five restaurants in Ningguan Street, you have to rely on the dishes in the end.

Shen Jun is not a chef, so he couldn't create any novel dishes, but there was an interval of more than [-] years after the Song Dynasty, during which many dishes handed down from Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties have been handed down to modern times.Shen Jun doesn't know how to cook, but he can compare. He has an impression of what dishes, but the Song Dynasty doesn't have them, so he describes them to the chef in charge.Huizhilou is such a master, he tried it three or two times, and he came up with a lot of new dishes.

If the Sun family's young master doesn't make a name for himself, it's a blockbuster!The four arrows fired immediately caused a sensation in Changyang City!

In less than a month, Huizhilou, which was struggling to operate, became very popular, and there were more than 600 Changyang diners who signed up for membership.The revenue of the teahouse alone has increased by more than [-]%, and this does not include delivery.The reality show of beauties on the third floor directly attracted almost all the dignitaries in the city, and with the continuous support of Huizhilou's new dishes, Huizhilou turned around and reproduced the grand opening of the year, dominating the entire Ningguan Street!

On the evening of the ninth day of May, Huizhilou was still full of guests as usual, and business was booming.On that day, it was also the first time that Mr. Xiaojie walked into the largest restaurant in Changyang City.

Running from the first floor to the third floor, and from the third floor back to the first floor, going around, Xiao Shunzi finally ran back to his master with a look of frustration on his face.

"Young master, even the third floor is full, why don't we wait a little longer?"

Li Ruijie frowned, "Forget it, we'll come back another day." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

At this moment, Xiao Anzi led a little girl happily into Huizhi Building, and the four of them passed sideways. Xiao Anzi was the first to see Li Ruijie with sharp eyes, and shouted crisply on the spot.

"Oh! It's Mr. Xiaojie! You are here!"

Someone beside him yelled so suddenly that Li Ruijie was taken aback. He nodded towards Xiao Anzi expressionlessly, and left without stopping.

Seeing this, Xiao Anzi quickly chased after him, "Master Xiaojie, did you see my young master just now? The young master has been busy for more than a month, and he didn't have time to visit the house. I miss you very much. The eldest master is still talking about you in front of the younger one!"

Hearing this, Li Ruijie's right foot, which had just crossed the threshold, hesitantly took it in again, with a slightly tangled expression on his face.Xiao Shunzi at the side hurriedly pulled Xiao Anzi aside.

"My master has just arrived for a while, and I haven't met your young master yet." After a pause, "The young master came to Huizhilou today to try something new, but your restaurant business is so hot that there isn't even a single vacant seat... "Xiao Shunzi complained in a low voice.

Xiao Anzi patted his chest with his hands to reassure him, "It's a trivial matter, leave it to me! I will take Young Master Xiaojie to find the Eldest Young Master first, and the Eldest Young Master will be very happy to see you!"

5 minute later...

Shen Jun, who got the news, walked out of the lounge with a smile, opened his arms and said with a smile, "Little Jiejie! I really miss me! Come and give my brother a hug~"

Mr. Xiaojie had a cold expression on his face, but he took two steps back inadvertently, "I came here today to cheer on Huizhilou. Is there any free table? If there is no one, I will come back another day."

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course!" Shen Jun smiled meanly, "There is a seat for 'Wei Aipi' on my brother's lap... Don't, don't, don't rush away!" Shen Jun grabbed it and turned to leave. Mr. Xiaojie, "I'm just kidding with you. I can't even hear it? There is a small room on the east side of the second floor. I just asked the waiter to set up a table. Just the two of us have dinner together, no outsiders~"

Shen Jun personally led Young Master Xiaojie into the wing room.But I saw a small wing room that was not very spacious, with a large screen placed in the center.Behind the screen is a vaguely soft couch, in front of the screen there is a desk against the south wall, and in the middle there is another round table.Xiao Yuanzi, Xiao Anzi and the little girl from before were coming in and out busy serving dishes and setting tables.

Shen Jun greeted with a smile: "Why are you standing still, sit down quickly! The food and drinks are ready-made, and they will be ready soon. It's not that my old Wang is selling melons and boasting. The dishes in Huizhilou are all amazing. You can’t taste such a good taste in other restaurants, you can try it later~”

Li Ruijie let out a 'huh', as if the leader was inspecting the work, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back, "You live here these days?"

"Little Jiejie, you don't care about others at all~ Brother, I've been living here for almost a month!" Shen Jun chuckled, and pulled Mr. Xiaojie to sit down, "This place is a little noisy, but it's better than that." The small broken courtyard before was much better, and it was quite comfortable to live in. If you have time to come and play, just go to this house and find me~"

Young Master Xiaojie gave Shen Jun a sideways look, disdainful, "I don't have that much time to spare."

"Alas...Luo Hua intends to flow ruthlessly, but I originally intended to have a heart for Mingyue..."

"That's enough! Don't mention that!" Young Master Xiaojie's mouth twitched, his face covered with dark clouds.

"Oh! Don't say it, don't say it! You also know that I'm cheap, don't get angry~ Come on! Try this 'Spicy Rabbit Ding' first."

Shen Jun accepted it as soon as he saw it, and quickly picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Li Ruijie's bowl with a smile on his face.But the chopsticks could not be stopped once the chopsticks were caught in the past. I saw Shen Jun waving the chopsticks "Ka Ka Ka" just for a while.

"This is 'cherry meat', one of the favorite imperial delicacies of the Empress Dowager Cixi in her later years."

"This 'pocket tenderloin' is also a famous dish in the palace, and the princes and ministers are full of praise."

"Try this plate of 'donkey meat fire' again. As the saying goes, 'the dragon meat in the sky, the donkey meat in the ground', donkey meat is a great nourishing food, especially suitable for men tonic, solid essence and nourishing kidney~"

…………

After a while, the small porcelain bowls in front of Young Master Xiaojie had piled up like a hill, and just as Li Ruijie was chewing slowly, suddenly, Shen Jun stretched out his left hand and gently touched the right side of Young Master Xiaojie's neck. Touched.

With a sound of 'click', the chopsticks fell from his hand and fell on the table, rolled over, and then fell to the table. Li Ruijie turned his head sideways and frowned at Shen Jun, looking like he was about to go crazy.

"Hahaha...then what, you have a pimple on your neck..." Shen Jun shrank his neck, quickly replaced a pair of new chopsticks and picked a piece of duck breast for Mr. Xiaojie, "This plate is' Stewed fat duck in clear water', the cold duck meat is the best way to defeat the fire, come here, eat more~”

After 32 days, a pair of friends finally got together again.

Shen Jun still had such a playful smile on his face, he would occasionally say something mean and owe a hand, and then he would flirt with Mr. Xiaojie again with a shy face.Li Ruijie is still as cold and icy, taciturn, showing a secondary angry expression from time to time.

But it was the two young masters who had such a cold and hot personality, and they were able to finish the dinner in peace.In their sleep that night, the two also dreamed of each other at the same time.Young master Xiaojie's dreams are relatively small and fresh and artistic, on the contrary, Shen Jun's dreams are very unsuitable for children.

Both of them realized that the other's position in their hearts had subtly changed unconsciously...

☆, Chapter 34

The author has something to say: ask for favorites, ask for assists

Huizhilou made a sudden effort and snatched away all the customers.This directly led to the dismal operation of the other four restaurants on Ningguan Street.The latter was eager to change, and began to follow Huizhilou's approach one after another.

In this way, Shen Jun was forced to continue to rack his brains to perfect the four tricks he used earlier.However, to Shen Jun's surprise, he unexpectedly learned of a murder case that day.

"I was busy all night that day, and I couldn't catch a few big fish. Seeing that it was almost dawn, we were both tired, so we thought about casting one last net before going home to try our luck. As a result, this It’s really important to get some ‘things’ online.”

The middle-aged fisherman held a cup of hot tea, and unconsciously slid his fingers along the rim of the cup.

"As soon as the fishing net was cast down, the end of the pull rope suddenly sank. We naturally thought that a big fish had been caught in the net, so we pulled it up with all our strength! I never thought that just halfway through the pull, we would take a closer look under the moonlight. There are two dead bodies, a man and a woman, wrapped in the fishing net!"

The middle-aged fisherman took a deep breath, looked at Shen Jun with a lingering fear expression, and continued: "The corpse was completely naked and stripped of its clothes. After soaking in the lake water, it has become swollen and smelly, and it is full of maggots. And both of them His appearance was ruined by the sharp blade, beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a citizen of Changyang City. After that, my two brothers hurriedly dragged the body onto the fishing boat and sent it to the police. According to my cousin's guess, the two probably They lost their lives at the same time a month and a half ago, and they were all killed by a martial arts practitioner!"
