Half a month later, Li Kui came to Yishui County again.

Different from the last time I came here, this time Baizhang Village finally has a place to stay in Yishui County - Dalang Roasted Seeds Shop!

The shop is not big, but the business is surprisingly good. For ten kaiping (a kind of money making), you can sell a large bag of freshly baked sugar-roasted chestnuts, with that intoxicating caramel flavor, after the water is squeezed out

The sweeter taste and the chestnut flavor that is soft and waxy with a hint of hardness but just the right amount of goodness make people want to stop eating it. Of course, it cannot be called stir-fried chestnuts, it can only be called Dalang chestnuts.

The recipe for roasted chestnuts with sugar is so simple that just by naming it you can reveal all the ingredients.

When Li Kui entered the store, he saw that his seventh uncle Li Hong was also helping. Li Dalang was not as dejected as the lost dog at first, and the panic and anxiety in his wandering eyes had also disappeared.

Instead, I have a weirdness and confidence that makes people say no.

"Boy, I hit someone!"

Li Dalang nervously pulled Li Kui into the backyard. When there was no one around, he excitedly asked Li Kui for credit.

Li Kui looked confused. This... Li Dalang didn't seem to be right. He was so excited that he seemed to be in love. Is it possible?

"Who did you hit?"

"I beat up Wang Fu's two foxes and dogs." Dalang gestured like hitting them with the sole of his shoe, his pride evident in his words.

Li Dalang feels nervous and excited after doing something big for the first time in his life, which is of great benefit in restoring his self-confidence. But this guy doesn’t think that he will win all dignity by beating people, right? Those who don’t know think that he kills people in the street to establish his authority.

No, Li Kuide said to him: "You blocked them in the county town and then whipped them?"

Li Dalang's happy face immediately collapsed, and he said in frustration: "How is it possible? It was when the fifth uncle and the seventh uncle were here... That day, I happened to meet Wang Fu and his two fox friends, the dog, who came out of the county town to drink. This dog

How dare you humiliate me, brother, you know that I am not as knowledgeable as a scoundrel..."

What he said is very consistent with Li Dalang's style of doing things. It improves his moral integrity and at the same time conceals his cowardly nature.

"Uncle Qi happened to be here and helped restrain the two of them, and then asked me to slap them. How dare I! I was almost beaten by Uncle Qi, but then I couldn't escape, so I slapped their faces with the sole of my shoe.

I didn’t expect that it would be so refreshing to fuck someone. It’s been half a month, and I feel like the gangsters in the city are now afraid of me, and they don’t dare to come and cause trouble after I open the shop!”

Li Kui covered his face. He wanted to remind Li Dalang that blind confidence can kill people. Today, Li Dalang is so confident that he blindly thinks that he can travel around the world and win the title of hero.

The gangsters didn't dare come to make trouble. When they came to this house, Han Dahu was originally inspected. Inspection was the nemesis of gangsters, so they didn't dare to provoke Han Dahu.

The second thing is, Li Hong and others are in the store, who dares to make trouble?

These two people often walked struttingly in the streets and alleys of the county with knives in their hands, and no one paid attention to them anyway. When they heard that they were from Baizhang Village, even the people in the yamen began to be wary of them. How could they get into trouble like this?

Ever since two brothers, Li Kui and Li Quan, tortured tigers to death with their bare hands, the evil reputation of Baizhang Village has become well-known to everyone in Yishui County.

Li Kui didn't want to continue to struggle with this issue. His original plan was to convict Wang Fu of a series of crimes such as stealing, killing cattle privately, selling beef privately, etc., and then wait for the county government to convict Wang Fu of his crimes.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, officials were most reluctant to see scoundrels who ruined the local reputation. Wang Fu would most likely be sent away.

In any place, after three to five years as a prisoner, is it normal to not be able to come back?

Li Kui thinks it’s normal!

He and his seventh uncle Li Lin have similar values ​​​​in some respects. In other words, the people in Baizhang Village, except for Li Dalang, are all piss-poor. Murder is illegal, but if you go out and an accident happens on the road... this is God's fault.

I don’t want to keep him!

Well, Li Kui feels that he is not a good person, and he does not want to be a bad person. If someone bullies him, he will not be afraid of trouble.

Li Kui no longer asked about this matter. Wang Fu was just a small person anyway, and it was not worth getting a lawsuit for this person. He casually asked: "How is the business in the store?"

"It's great!" Speaking of business, Li Dalang immediately became radiant again: "Brother, you don't know, the taste of these chestnuts is much better than boiled or steamed chestnuts. I was worried at first, if the business

No, how can we fill the famine caused by this? On the first day of opening, I saw that no one came forward to buy from the onlookers, and I was still worried."

"So my brother and I came up with the idea of ​​a free trial. I could only lose money first. If I make some profit later, I can come back. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. At least more than half of the people who tried it bought some. Chapter 1

The next day, brother Wei saw many children who had tasted it, and thought they didn't have ten cents, could they not even have one cent?"

"There are more than 30 small chestnuts in a pound, so I thought I could earn a penny more, so I sold three chestnuts for one penny. Originally, the small chestnuts were despised by others, but they were also sold well... Later, as a brother

I thought of a wine shop, and chestnuts with wine are also a good choice. I plan to choose a day to go to the wine shop to give it a try. But now the business in the county has reached its peak, and I am thinking of discussing with my brother to open one in other counties. Now the profit of the shop in a day is at least

There are always many, and it only takes a month to prepare another store."

Li Kui didn't want everyone to see Li Dalang, but he couldn't help but said: "Have you ever thought that chestnuts only mature in winter and can only be sold for three or four months?"

"Ah! How could it be like this? It's hateful! What should I do?" Li Dalang returned to the panic again. This was not because Li Kui deliberately bullied him, but because he was used to hitting Li Dalang. Don't ask why, even he himself

Can't tell clearly.

Li Kui is a little confused. This Li Dalang is a little timid, but he is quite talented in business. How could this guy get into a situation where he can't even fill his own belly by being a banker for others?

If you really had this excitement, why would you have gone there?

Is it a lack of capital?

Or is it because of the lack of secret ingredients?

Li Kui felt that it was not the case, it should be a change. From a hired tenant to a businessman, although he was a small businessman, what happened to Li Dalang was an earth-shaking change from head to toe. He became more confident.

He got up and even began to think about how to expand production. This was definitely not something that could be taught. He could only helplessly attribute it to the business genes in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.

The next day, he was well prepared. It was the day to go to the county government office to take the school examination from the county magistrate Zhou Yuan.

Even though he had memorized all the articles Zhou Yuan asked him to memorize, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Before going out, Li Dalang wanted to go to the county government office with Li Kui, but Li Kui sent him away.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if Zhou Yuan's questions were too difficult, or if he had no intention of accepting him as his disciple?

Can he break his invincible golden body in front of a coward like Li Dalang?

"The tiger skin was delivered by the inspector the day before yesterday. It's in a package."

"Brother, do you really don't need to bring pork belly, jujube and other gifts for apprenticeship?"
