Chapter 17 first quarter

One day a month later, that is, the thirty-eighth day after Zhang Xian disappeared in Tianqiao, in front of Tianqiao Yueke Tea House. Li Fengren watched with a dejected expression as the porters came in and out to move out the furniture and sundries in the teahouse and put them aside. Li Fengren couldn't help but sighed a long time and said to himself: "That's all! Sell it, sell it!" Come on, I'm sorry for my ancestors, I'm sorry for my parents!" A girl in her early twenties came up, she looked exceptionally juicy, with big twinkling eyes, very flattering. The girl shouted: "Father! Don't even think about it! We are so big, are we afraid that we won't be able to survive in Beijing?"

Li Fengren sighed: "Jiaoer, don't comfort me, I understand, I understand. I feel uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable! If Mr. Zhang Xian from a month ago didn't suddenly disappear, I still want to try hard He came, so the Yueke Teahouse could still be saved, but he suddenly turned into smoke and left, alas, I have given up my mind." This girl is Li Fengren's only daughter, named Li Jiao, who has been helping Li Fengren manage the Yueke Tea House. She is twenty-one years old, when she is beautiful, and there are at least one hundred and eighty people who come to her door to say goodbye.Li Jiao should have found a man to marry, but she was reluctant to part with her father and kept refusing. Li Fengren had nothing to do with her, so the marriage was delayed.

Li Jiao said: "Father, is that Zhang Xian real or fake? Is there such a trick as you said?" Li Fengren looked serious, and said: "Girl, your father, I saw it with my own eyes, can it be fake? You think I heard it from hearsay? This Mr. Zhang Xianzhang is really good at tricks. I haven't done it in my life. I've seen someone who is smarter than him!" Li Fengren was talking, but someone behind him said: "Boss Li, are you still open here?" Li Fengren wondered who this person was, seeing that he was moving, and making sarcastic remarks to squeeze the right people, he said angrily: "You can see for yourself whether it is still open or not, my place is closed for good luck."

The person next to Li Fengren pressed his top hat and said, "I think it's too early for Boss Li to say that the store is closed." Li Fengren was surprised, and turned his head to look at the speaker. I saw this man wearing a straight gray woolen suit, shirt, tie, top hat, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He was in his thirties and looked like a gentleman, smiling at him with.Behind this person stood a young man in a light blue suit, in his early twenties, wearing a peaked cap, looking very capable, and also looked at Li Fengren with a smile on his face. Li Fengren felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen these two people.

Li Fengren murmured: "Dare to ask this gentleman..." The man wearing sunglasses took off his sunglasses. His eyes were as deep as a pool of water. He looked at Li Fengren and said slowly, "Boss Li, do you remember me? I'm Zhang Xian." This person is Zhang Xian, and the young man behind him is Li Yi. Li Fengren never thought that Zhang Xian, who had disappeared, would appear in front of him again. Zhang Xian looked downcast before, but this time he appeared, he was well-dressed and well-behaved. Outside Tan Shui's eyes, there was no shadow of the past at all. Li Fengren was very surprised, looked Zhang Xian up and down, but still didn't dare to believe it rashly.

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Boss Li, if you don't mind, can you invite me to your shop for a cup of tea? This is what you said, but I'm here, won't you not welcome me?" Only then did Li Fengren believe that the person in front of him was Zhang Xian, and hurriedly said: "Please! Please, Mr. Zhang!" Li Jiao had been standing beside Li Fengren, she was a little stunned when she saw Zhang Xian and Li Yi, and when she saw Li Fengren walking towards the store with Zhang Xian and Li Yi, she hurried to follow. Li Jiao asked: "Daddy, these two are..." Li Fengren said in a low voice: "Jiao'er, don't ask, you hurry up and make tea, take my best tea, go quickly."

Zhang Xian nodded to Li Jiao, and Li Yi also greeted Li Jiao with a grin.Li Jiao hesitated, looked back and hurried to the side to prepare tea. Li Fengren hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, just now it was the little girl Li Jiao who didn't understand the rules. Mr. Zhang, don't take offense, please." Zhang Xian, Li Yi, and Li Fengren stepped into the Yueke Teahouse, Zhang Xian looked up, this Yueke Teahouse can accommodate two to three hundred people, there are many private rooms on the second floor, the stage is not big, but it is neat.It's just that the Yueke Teahouse is in a mess everywhere, with tables, chairs and benches piled up in one place and one in the west. It's obvious that it hasn't opened for a long time and is waiting to be moved out.

Li Fengren led the way in front, passed through the back of the stage, and came to a small study room. The study room was even more messy. All the books and sundries had been wrapped up and ready to be moved. Li Fengren wiped off the dust on the round table in the middle of the study with his sleeve, moved three chairs, and invited Zhang Xian and Li Yi to sit down. Zhang Xian said, "Boss Li, what, you want to move?" Sitting next to Zhang Xian, Li Fengren sighed: "The business can't go on, so I have to... Alas... It's not that I have already collected other people's deposits, and I will move things out in two days."

Zhang Xian said: "May I ask, Boss Li, who are you going to sell this teahouse to?" Li Fengren sighed: "Who else can it be? Boss Chen Guochen of Wangfenglou, he has been eyeing my teahouse a few years ago, and I have been refusing to agree. It's not that I said bad things about him behind his back. The business is unscrupulous, playing with some shady things, buying local ruffians who always come to my place to make trouble, and poaching all the corners of my place. It is also my bad luck. The street was rebuilt the year before last, and Chen Guo took advantage of this opportunity. Tossing secretly, originally the front of my place was facing the street, but it turned out to be leeward."

Zhang Xian said: "Oh? Then why does Boss Chen Guochen want to buy your tea house?" Li Fengren said: "The several houses next to my teahouse belong to Chen Guo. He bought my place and opened up the wall. Not only can it face the street again, but it can also be re-expanded, and it can also be compared with his current Wangfenglou. The scale is bigger! Chen Guo wants to open a semicolon, and everyone in the Tianqiao area knows about it." Zhang Xian nodded and said, "So that's the case." Li Fengren smiled helplessly, and said: "Oh, Mr. Zhang, you see that you have come here so hard, so I will just say something depressing. Let's not talk about it. Mr. Zhang, since you disappeared, the area around the overpass can be passed down. I got mad, and said that you went to heaven and entered the earth, and you have everything. Where did you go?"

Zhang Xian smiled slightly, did not speak, and looked up outside. Holding the tea tray, Li Jiao walked in quickly.Seeing that Li Jiao was bringing tea, Li Fengren hurriedly arranged to pour tea for Zhang Xian and Li Yi, told Li Jiao to wait outside, and continued to direct the workers to pack their things. But Zhang Xian said: "Boss Li, I don't think there is any need to clean up. You Yueke Tea House, don't sell it." Li Jiao felt surprised, so she didn't go out, she stood behind Li Fengren, looked at Zhang Xian, not understanding. Li Fengren was taken aback, and said: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your kindness, but if I don't sell it, I won't even have money for food. Even if I can barely support it for two days, it won't help." Zhang Xian said: "Boss Li, how much does it cost for your Yueke Tea House to reopen?" Li Fengren said: "Mr. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to, I really can't manage it." Zhang Xian glanced at Li Yi and said, "Li Yi, take it out." Li Yi responded, and took out Dayang roll by roll from the leather bag beside him, stacked a dozen rolls on the table, and looked at Li Fengren dumbfounded. Zhang Xian said: "Boss Li, I would like to become a shareholder of your Yueke Teahouse and run it together with you. I will perform tricks on the stage myself. This is a thousand oceans. I will make a deposit temporarily. Do you agree?" Li Fengren said in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, this! This! How good is this!" Zhang Xian smiled and said, "Does Boss Li disagree?" Li Fengren panicked, quickly stood up and bowed to Zhang Xian, and said: "It's not that I disagree, but I really didn't expect it. I don't know how to tell Mr. Zhang now."
