"Where are the two waiters at the shop? They didn't come to order a dish or post anything?" General Lou shouted loudly.
The waiter from the shop outside came in and responded in a low voice: "My lady gave the order. It is my lady who invited you today. The dishes have been arranged and will be here later."
General Lou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh, this young lady of the Xiao family is so grand. She really deserves to be the helmsman of the Xiao family."
"Helmsman?" Xia Shang frowned slightly when he heard this, "Just such a little girl? Can she also become the richest man in Xuzhou City?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know. The Xiao family has been prosperous for three generations. It is said that wealth is limited to three generations. Strange things happened to Miss Xiao's generation. I heard that the master of the Xiao family has a strange disease, even though he has married several wives.
, but only gave birth to two young ladies of the Xiao family. The master of the Xiao family died a few years ago, and there was no man in charge of the family. With no choice but to have Xiao Keer, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, take charge. During this period, many things happened to the Xiao family.
Due to an unexpected incident, I originally thought that the Xiao family was going to be doomed, but I didn't expect that the young eldest lady of the Xiao family had a talent for business, and she managed to help the Xiao family survive the crisis, and also gained power and controlled the entire Xiao family.
Judging from today's courage, this young lady does have great abilities."
Xia Shang was thoughtful, looking at the rain curtain outside through the large window of the room. The entire Xuzhou city was shrouded in humidity and darkness, and there were almost no people on the street.
As for the scenery, there is nothing to enjoy in such a rainy day.
But General Lou still maintained the excitement he had when he first arrived, and whispered to Qin Yuan beside him: "Xiao Qin, you are not a native of Xuzhou. You don't know how famous Baiweixian is in Xuzhou. People like us have no idea how famous it is in Xuzhou."
I have never thought about eating here, and I have never heard that there are such and such rules here, but I just heard from people that the people who can come upstairs are famous big shots in Xuzhou. Even the little-known people.
, as long as you go upstairs to Baiweixian, no matter how many floors it is, as long as word spreads, you will definitely become a famous figure in Xuzhou City. As for those who can go to the top floor of Baiweixian, they are rare, even the prefect of Xuzhou is not that big
In order to save face, the only time I heard that the Prime Minister came here was when the Master of the Xiao family invited the Prime Minister to come here. Tell me, what can a little soldier like us do?
It’s not easy to sit in a place like this, and I will have to chat with others for several days when I go back.”
General Lou was talking enthusiastically, but suddenly his expression darkened, and he muttered: "Hey, I'm afraid no one will believe this kind of thing. Besides, the current situation is no better than before. If we can't hold on,
I don’t know if Baiweixian can be saved in Xuzhou City, and I don’t know what a pity it would be if such a place was destroyed by the Japanese.”
Xia Shang looked at General Lou and found that the lament expressed by this somewhat rude middle-aged man at this moment was not fake at all.
That sad expression seems inconsistent with his rough and arrogant appearance, but it is precisely because of this little mismatch that people can understand the inner heart of General Lou at this moment.
As a person from Xuzhou City, seeing Xuzhou City facing such a crisis, only those who have lived here have a unique feeling, right?
While we were talking, several people came in from outside and each brought today's food and drinks. Everything was steaming hot and fragrant. After feeling the coldness of the day, encountering the fragrance of delicious food was like hearing the voice of a beauty. Everyone present
All three of them couldn't help drooling.
"There are still plenty of dishes, so you three don't have to worry." Miss Xiao's voice came from outside. At this time, Xiao Ke'er had already put on exquisite men's clothes and stood opposite the table where Xia Shang was sitting with a bit of coolness.
.
Xia Shang couldn't help but was stunned. When he saw Xiao Keer's men's clothing, he didn't feel out of place at all. Compared with the previous women's clothing, he felt that men's clothing was more suitable for her.
Xia Shang understands a little bit. The reason why he feels like this is because Xiao Keer often goes out to interact with different people. After all, she is a young girl. It is not appropriate to show up in a gauze skirt. Such men's clothing is fine.
It can make her more natural. She must be used to women dressing up as men, so now she looks more attractive in front of Xia Shang wearing men's clothes.
"Sir, do you mind if the little lady sits down?" Xiao Keer pointed to the stool with a smile.
Xia Shang nodded: "It doesn't matter."
Xiao Keer sat down and began to introduce every dish here to Xia Shang seriously.
Every dish here is very particular. Xiao Keer is afraid that a few people will not know about it, but Lou Mantian
He and Qin Yuan couldn't wait for a long time.
After finally waiting for Xiao Ke'er to finish explaining each dish, General Lou was about to use his chopsticks when he suddenly heard a long growl in his stomach, which everyone heard.
General Lou blushed deeply, lowered his head, and complained in a low voice: "It's all because of Miss Xiao's troubles. I'm a rough guy. I only know that this dish is fish and that dish is meat. No matter how many tricks he has.
What are you doing? Eat quickly, eat quickly, I won’t wait for anyone."
Xiao Ke'er didn't show any expression, and poured a glass of wine for General Lou personally: "General, please."
General Lou was a little embarrassed, looking at Xiao Ke'er like he looked at his own daughter, but his daughter was far worse than others.
"That... that... Miss Xiao, please don't be polite to me. I yelled at you just now. I'm sorry..."
"Just based on the general's previous words about worrying about Xuzhou, he can afford this little girl's glass of wine."
General Lou blushed again: "Well... I didn't expect Miss Xiao to listen to those nonsense words just now, so I'm a little embarrassed."
"So it seems that Miss Xiao cares about Xuzhou City?"
Xiao Keer raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't like Xia Shang, and said in a low voice: "The Xiao family has lived in Xuzhou for decades. The safety of Xuzhou is the comfort of the Xiao family, and Xuzhou is the root of our Xiao family for generations...unlike some
People who don’t understand Xuzhou, even if they say nice things, they are just going through the motions.”
Qin Yuan heard that Xiao Ke'er was dissatisfied with Master Xia because of something he had said before, so he put down his chopsticks and explained in a low voice: "Miss Xiao, you are absolutely wrong. Master Xia is doing this for Xuzhou."
He has done a lot of things. As the people of Xuzhou, we should all be grateful to Mr. Xia."
When Xiao Ke'er heard this, she was a little curious: "What do you mean by this?"
"A few months ago, Xuzhou was attacked by pirates. At that time, Xuzhou's navy was defeated. The military and local authorities did not dare to report the war to the imperial court. I had to go to the capital in person to mobilize troops secretly. No official in the entire imperial court was willing to do so.
In charge of Xuzhou, Lord Xia is the only one who has recruited thousands of soldiers for Xuzhou. If not for these thousands of reinforcements, the disaster in Xuzhou would have broken out months ago. Lord Xia came to Xuzhou this time to quell the war.
