Chapter 49 Let’s discuss our own issues
Theoretically speaking, Li Xin and Li Xiang are of the same generation, and Li Jingren is one generation higher than both of them, so they cannot be treated as equals in any way.

So it was not only Li Xin who was in disarray, but also Li Xiang.

No, man.

You should be my cousin.

"We are of different generations, Uncle Jingren." Li Xiang went to help him up with a complicated look on his face. "Even if we are of the same generation, I am younger than you and I am not worthy of addressing you like that."

"How can I not deserve it!"

Li Jingren immediately said righteously: "Brother, you don't know that when we were in the Imperial College, we were often punished by Kong Jijiu. When we offended him, it was common for him to hit us hard with a big bamboo board. If you don't believe me, ask all the brothers, who hasn't been punished by Kong Jijiu?"

Cheng Chubi, who was standing by, immediately stretched out his hand and said, "That's right. Last time, I just pronounced '色波如也' as '色被如也', and Kong Jijiu hit me with 15 bamboo sticks. Damn it, my hand is still aching!"

Hearing the two men complaining, the others followed suit and complained bitterly, especially Wei Daijia, who hugged Li Xiang and cried like a tearful man.

After a grievance meeting, all the children formed a circle. Li Xiang was inside the circle and wanted to go out, while Li Xin was outside and wanted to come in. They stood on tiptoe with envy in their eyes.

Finally, Li Jingren patted his chest and said, "Brother was able to vent our anger for us, and even refuted Kong Jijiu in a debate, which he was good at. He is truly a god! Even if there is a difference in generation, what does it matter? From now on, we can discuss our own affairs..."

"Yes! Yes, from now on you will be our brother!" Wei Daijia was unwilling to be outdone.

It seems... the world has suffered from Old Kong for a long time!

Li Xiang is not difficult to understand. He is just like the dean in school who would beat up anyone he caught. Suddenly one day, a piece of news came out - someone actually beat him up and got away with it. Just imagine how legendary this person would be.

Li Xin outside looked at Li Xiang in the circle with a complicated expression. He always felt that he should not be here and should go under the car.

Just when Li Xin felt heartbroken, Li Xiang's voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Xin, Brother Xin!"

Li Xin suddenly looked up and saw Li Xiang raising his hand and waving at him.

The crowd parted to make way for him.

Li Xin walked in, and before he could say anything, Li Xiang put his arm around his shoulders.

"Uncle Jingren..."

"I don't dare to call you Uncle Jingren, we can just be friends as peers." Li Jingren said, patting his chest.

"Well... Jingren, you don't know." Li Xiang smiled and patted Li Xin's chest with his other hand, and said to them: "It was my brother Xin who told me that the brothers were short of money, so he gave me 2,000 strings of cash from my family and asked me to use it as capital to lead the brothers to do some money-making business together, so that they would not be short of money when playing outside."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Li Xin was suddenly stunned.

He didn't expect that this elder brother would respect him like this.

It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.

But when he thought that the two thousand strings of cash were swindled from his father, Li Xin took a deep breath and decided not to be fooled by Li Xiang's hypocritical posturing.

Yes, that's what he did! He deceived me into trusting him! He hinted to himself in his mind.

"I see..." Li Jingren suddenly realized, "In that case, I would like to thank my nephew Li Xin!"

He reached out and patted Li Xin's arm, nodding approvingly at him for the first time.

"Uncle Jingren..." Li Xin's eyes were red.

He had always wanted to integrate into Li Jingren's circle. Of course, it was not just to play with them, but mainly to build a good relationship with them so that his father Li Tai could connect with the parents of the second and third generations. Although the way to open it now was not quite right, it was the first step after all, and it was a good start.

He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"You, boy, act like a little girl." Li Xiang stretched out his hand and rubbed Li Xin's face, laughing and saying, "It's fate that brothers get together. Look at you? What have you become?"

Li Xin sniffed, and the feeling of being touched just now suddenly disappeared.

He is so narrow-minded that he decides to make things more difficult for Li Xiang. Let your child look down on me!
"Brother said he would take us to do business, how do we do it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they attracted everyone's attention.

The world is so big, the most important thing now is to make money!
Only if you have money can you go wherever you want.

When the topic of making money was mentioned, everyone's eyes lit up, especially Cheng Chubi, whose pair of big eyes were like searchlights, and his face showed "fourteen years old, loves brothels".

"Yes, yes, what do you do for a living?" Li Jingren asked immediately.

Li Xiang waved to them.

"Come closer and listen."

Everyone immediately came over with expectation, and Li Xiang said softly, "Open a restaurant."

"Open a restaurant?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought it was some kind of clever idea, but it turned out to be just this?

But he was a well-known figure in the circle, and he was also the son of the crown prince, so he couldn't just ignore him. Li Jingren pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, you don't know that there are no less than 20 well-known restaurants in Chang'an City, and they are well-established and have their own fixed customer base. They have basically monopolized the middle and high-end seats in the whole Chang'an."

"If I compete with them, well..."

Li Jingren didn't say what came next, but the implication was clear.

"As the saying goes, a fierce dragon cannot cross the river. I say this for a reason." Li Xiang rolled up his sleeves with a smile, stepped on the stool, and said, "Words are not enough, so I will show you, so that you can know that there is always someone better."

As he spoke, he pointed at Fu Bao who was standing beside the carriage and said, "The eunuch who follows me is the 21st generation descendant of the God of Cooking. Brothers, why don't you try his cooking skills before making a decision."

God of Cooking?

The playboys couldn't help but take a deep breath and lean back tactically to show their respect.

It sounds pretty awesome...

Cooking? Li Xiang really can't do it, but he can say...

It happened that Fubao had a good talent in this area. Li Xiang originally wanted to find a few people in the catering bureau, but Fubao volunteered. Based on the principle of keeping the money-making skills secret, Li Xiang taught Fubao many dishes through oral instruction.

Seeing that Li Xiang was so sure, and considering his previous reputation, everyone subconsciously wanted to believe him for once.

But in this world, most people are more interested in someone than to see him/her in person. They all hope that Li Xiang is not so unworthy of his reputation.

"In that case, I'll trust you this time." Li Jingren said with finality.

"My family happens to own a restaurant, but the business is not good and there are almost no customers." Wei Daijia suddenly raised his hand and said.

Li Xiang reached out and rubbed the back of Wei Daijia's head, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go to the restaurant in Daijia's house and take a look."
