I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Seeing this branch, Guo Xiaoke was a little dazed, almost thinking that he had returned to Chang'an Huaizhen Square in an instant.

so similar.

It is almost exactly the same as the one in Chang'an.

They walked in, and Guo Xiaoke skillfully found a seat and sat down.

Nali trotted over, ready to call the buddy over to talk about business.

Guo Xiaoke waved his hand, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you so eager, I haven't eaten food in restaurants for a long time."

"Shopkeeper, give me a red robe to announce the good news, and a Tiger Head Duke."

"Hmm... add another dish that suits the occasion, in the desert wind and sand."

As he said that, he paused for a moment: "Alcohol is also the drink of restaurants?"

The guy nodded.

"Then give me a pound of burning knives first." Guo Xiaoke waved his hand and laughed, "I will prepare another three thousand kilograms of burning knives for the soldiers outside my city to celebrate."

Nali and King Kucha's faces collapsed.

Naturally, it is impossible for Guo Xiaoke to pay for the food and drinks. How much will the three thousand catties of drinks cost?They may not be able to raise so much Tang money in a while.

"Not that much," replied the man.

Nali and King Kucha breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Xiaoke was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "How much is there?"

The clerk replied: "The burning knife still has 120 catties and six and a half catties, and Yu Jingqiu still has 76 catties and seven taels of money."

Together, they add up to less than two hundred catties.

Guo Xiaoke sighed: "Then send them all to my camp outside the city."

"Prepare your own car and come pick up the goods." The clerk said indifferently, not taking Guo Xiaoke seriously at all.

Nali and King Qiuci's hearts tightened, this maid didn't give the Great Tang General any face at all?

Guo Xiaoke scolded with a smile: "You little lady, you have the same temper as the store owner, you really deserve to be a branch store." He turned his head and coldly ordered to King Qiuci: "Hurry up and get ready."

Nali immediately went out to make arrangements.

After finishing the meal, Guo Xiaoke rubbed his stomach. The dishes in the branch restaurant were not as good as the ones in the main restaurant, but they can be eaten outside of Chang'an... He was already satisfied.

"Let's get down to business now." Guo Xiaoke watched the clerk remove the empty plates, then turned to look at the clerk, "Should the shopkeeper have given you an order?"

The shopkeeper came out, with a repelling smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, and nodded: "Well, my master has indeed given orders these days."

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyebrows.

King Qiuci and Nali sat upright, waiting for this beautiful girl to deal with.

"My master doesn't ask much." The shopkeeper sat across from them, and said softly, "The first thing is that all the business my master does here are not subject to customs duties."

Nali hesitated.

But the King of Kucha immediately nodded and agreed: "Of course it should be. Without the county magistrate's order, it is impossible for me in Kucha to accept the county magistrate's tariff."

"The second item is to allow my master's business to use various resources as currency." The shopkeeper said another item as soon as he opened his mouth.

King Kucha was preparing to come down.

Nali quickly interrupted: "What do these various resources mean?"

The shopkeeper spread his hands: "For example, if you come to my restaurant to eat, but you don't have money, you can use the equivalent price of wood, iron ore, copper ore, etc. that my restaurant is willing to accept to trade."

Nali frowned, he always felt that... this is related to the first article, and I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

"What's the matter, you don't want to agree?" Guo Xiaoke frowned and let out a mouthful of alcohol.

Na Li shook his head again and again: "Don't dare, the officials of Xiaoguo are just afraid that they will not understand the meaning of the county magistrate, and miss the county magistrate's matter."

Only then did King Qiuci respond.

"Third, if my master finds unclaimed ore veins in the Erqiuzi country in the future, he can dig them." The shopkeeper said the third point again.

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyebrows.

Nari frowned even tighter.

King Kucha didn't rush to agree either. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the first two, but he also found a huge problem with this one.

Iron, copper, gold, silver, these are the country's capital, it's nothing if one more person digs, it's considered a bribe to the county magistrate, but... will the county magistrate really be the only one to dig?

If this is in the name of the magistrate, is it really the meaning of the Tang court?

"Why don't I add another [-]% to the annual tribute from the small country of Kucha?" King Kucha hesitated for a while, then turned his gaze to Guo Xiaoke.He still felt that this was the meaning of the Tang court, not that of the county magistrate.

Guo Xiaoke laughed, and shook his head: "You think it's wrong. If my Tang Dynasty wants your mines in Kucha, why should I use the name of the store?"

"That's what it means to be a shopkeeper alone."

He felt a little sour, what else could these minerals be used for?It is nothing more than for Li Lizhi and Li Shu to use for fun.No wonder His Majesty is so partial to the store, it turns out that the store really loves the two princesses.

The shopkeeper nodded and said bluntly: "This is my master's business, and has nothing to do with Datang."

King Qiuci and Nali looked at each other and nodded, "Xiaoguo is stupid, I couldn't understand the meaning of the county uncle, please forgive me, this is naturally no problem."

The shopkeeper stood up and waved his hands: "There are only these three requirements."

King Kucha and Nali gasped.

Only these three?
They have prepared countless precious treasures in the past few days, gold, silver and jade wares almost filled a room, just to compensate Datang, or compensate this restaurant.

The result is only these three?
"You seem to want my master to ask for more?" The shopkeeper frowned, a little puzzled, "It's really a rare idea, then I will notify my master in a few days and think about it more."

King Qiuci hurriedly yelled: "Please don't ask this lady."

"I waited... just surprised at the county magistrate's pity."

Guo Xiaoke burped again: "The store owner has always been a very nice and gentle person, but he never shows mercy to those who provoke him."

"You... don't do these impulsive things in the future."

King Kucha and Nali responded again and again.

Guo Xiaoke found an inn to live in, and planned to eat here for a few more days - anyway, the food was paid for by Kucha, and he would go back when he was satisfied with the food.

Datang's dispatch of troops is not big news.

But sending troops for a county uncle is a big gossip.

The news immediately spread throughout Turkic and the surrounding countries of the Western Regions, including Stone Country, Mi Country, Zhongcao Country, and even Dashi, which was farther away, had heard about it.

And the more it spreads, the more demonized it becomes.

Like something... The Changle county uncle in Datang is a treasure in the hearts of all Tang people. If anyone disrespects him, or even just curses him in private, the entire Tang Dynasty will take revenge with the power of the whole country.
