Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

At 4: in the afternoon, Li Zihang thought about going to the restaurant first to book a private room and asking the chef to prepare the slow dishes in advance.

This shows that you value the other person. When you are polite, you can save a lot of trouble in the subsequent conversation. It can even make the price easier to negotiate.

Just when I was thinking about who to ask to go with me, I ran into the dog coming out of the old man's house.

Li Zihang immediately stopped him and said, "Uncle Gou, are you free now? Please go out with me."

Gou Zi said with some embarrassment: "I am not free now. So, young master, I will go call Kui Yong over and have him follow you. You wait at home for about ten minutes."

Li Zihang: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Gou."

Gouzi: "No way. I'm leaving now."

Li Zihang went to tell the old man what he was going to do, and also reminded the old man to bring his eldest brother to the restaurant on time.

Kui Yong and Li Zihang, one big and one small, rode two bicycles, traveling through the alleys.

When passing by an alley, I found that it was actually a small market. They sold all kinds of mountain products and game.

It's a bit like the later generations, Yue monkeys, fraudsters, and the vegetable market in China. There are countless strange and bizarre animals.

Come to think of it, in this era, people don’t have enough food to eat, so who cares about rare animals? Besides, in this era, the animal protection law is not perfect.

Mountain villages and hunting teams are all publicly organized groups that go into the mountains with guns to hunt.

Li Zihang walked and looked. Wow. There are so many rare animals. Pheasants, golden pheasants, wild boar meat. Chaga mushrooms, wolverines. Wild goats. Hares. They even sell tiger bones, deer penises and antlers. Wild honey. There are also some common animals and medicinal materials.

In this era, ordinary people don't like to eat wild game. First, it is expensive, and second, they dislike wild animal meat because it is dry and has no fat.

This time he really opened his eyes. After walking for a while, he stopped at a stall.

The stall was selling several dead hares and pheasants, as well as a dead leopard cat. Next to it was a bamboo cage with a constant meowing sound coming from it.

Li Zihang squatted down and picked at the dead leopard cat while saying to the boss: "How much do you want for this cat?"

The boss said: "I won't sell it individually. You can take the whole one for 5 yuan."

Li Zihang: "It's not cheap. After removing the skin and internal organs, there's probably only three pounds of meat left."

The boss said, "Little comrade, the leather can also be sold for money. Besides, you can pull off the leather and ask the tailor to make a hat and gloves for you. That's not bad either."

Seeing that he had opened the conversation, Li Zihang tentatively asked, "Is the one in the cage next to you a kitten?"

Boss: "We caught them all in one nest. They're all alive. If you want them, I'll sell them to you at a lower price."

Li Zihang: "Bring it here and let me see."

The boss directly picked up the cage and placed it in front of him. Looking at the three little leopard cats crying for food inside, they looked like they had just been weaned. They had ringed leopard spots, just like little cheetahs. The more I looked at them, the more I liked them.

Li Zihang asked happily: "Three kittens, how much are they for?"

The boss said: "One dollar each, take it."

Li Zihang: “It’s really not cheap!”

Li Zihang thought for a while, then looked at the pheasants and said, "This is it! I want all of those pheasants, this big cat, and these three kittens. Old comrade, give me a price. If it's suitable, I'll take them all."

老板：“这样，野鸡5毛一只。小猫8毛一只，大猫4块。总共7块9。小同志野兔你要吗？要的话我便宜卖给你。正好你给我包圆了。我早点回家。”

Li Zihang thought about it and decided to buy them all. After paying 8 yuan, he carried the bamboo cage that contained the kittens and put the rest into the sack given by the boss and asked Kui Yong to take it.

I also left my home address with the boss so that I could send good things directly to his house in the future.

After a while of shopping, I bought a wild turtle weighing nearly 7 kilograms. I also bought several kilograms of royal jelly. I bought all the good stuff I came across. This also made the two bicycles full of wild goods.

Finally, I bought all the tiger bones from a stall selling tiger bones. I left my address to the stall owners so that they could go to their homes if they needed good stuff.

Li Zihang, who hadn't been to Zhuxialou for almost a year, saw many new faces in the staff.

Especially the waiters, all of them were young and beautiful girls and wives. He sighed, it was really a new emperor with new ministers.

A young and pretty waitress watched Li Zihang and his companions carrying various mountain products and game in large and small bags. She shouted, "Hey! Those two comrades, they delivered the mountain products through the back door. They forgot the rules."

Zhuxialou mainly serves Huaiyang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Anhui cuisine. Wild game is a must. People who deliver wild game often come here. It's no wonder the waiter misunderstood.

At this time, dinner is about to start. The former shopkeeper, now the private manager, is preparing for the meal.

Hearing the waiter's shout, he turned his head and saw Li Zihang. He immediately went forward to greet him and stopped the waiter from scolding him.

"What are you yelling about! That's the young master."

Then he came to Li Zihang and took the mountain products from his hand.

"Young Master, you haven't been here for a long time. Are you preparing a banquet today?"

Li Zihang: "Uncle Yu. There is no such thing as a young master. You should just call me Xiaohang!"

"We're going to have a dinner party tonight! Please take a look at the things I brought. Please arrange them!"

Manager Yu looked at the various wild game and mountain products and asked, "Xiaohang, how are you going to eat these?"

Li Zihang took out various game from the sack and said, "Uncle Yu, let's have a Farewell My Concubine."

As he said this, he handed the turtle and pheasant to Manager Yu.

"Another dish: braised civet cat and wild goat meat in casserole. You can do whatever you want with the cat, but keep the skin for me. I need it."

As Li Zihang spoke, he took out everything from the sack and handed it to Manager Yu.

The waiter next to him looked at the manager, whose hands were full of game, and quickly stepped forward to take the food.

Li Zihang: "Use half of the turtle to make candied turtle. The other half, braised rabbit meat. For the rest, ask the chef in the back to prepare them for me. I'll take them away when I leave tonight."

Manager Yu looked at the various game dishes and said, "Xiao Hang, how many guests do you have tonight? I can arrange it for you!"

Li Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Please arrange the dishes according to the standard for 8 people. You can order the remaining dishes as you wish."

Manager Gong Fang got the news and came over as well, greeting Li Zihang politely.

After Li Zihang had explained everything, he said, "Uncle Yu, please take care of my three kittens. Oh, and make some rice porridge with some minced meat for them to eat."

Manager Gong Fang was also a smart guy. He took on the job of taking care of the kitten.

After watching Li Zihang go upstairs, the people below began to talk.

Waiter: "Manager Yu, is that the former young master? Wow! That demeanor is not something an ordinary kid would have."

Manager Yu: “What do you know!”

Then he said to Manager Gong Fang: "Lao Zhang knows something. If you have any questions, you can ask him. I have to go to the kitchen to give instructions. Don't delay the work."

A group of young and pretty waiters immediately surrounded Manager Zhang, and the individual customers downstairs also pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.

Manager Zhang's vanity was aroused. He pinched his throat, cleared it and said, "Weren't you discussing the person who donated money in the newspaper some time ago? That person was the former boss."

Before Manager Zhang could finish his words, he was interrupted by the person next to him.

"Wow! Is that the old comrade who donated 360 million?"

"Wang Li, didn't you say you wanted to marry into their family? There's no hope now. I think the young master just now is only ten years old at most."

The waitress who was called Wang Li blushed with shame and said without showing any weakness: "Go away, go away~ Don't they have anyone else who is suitable?"

Manager Zhang, who was interrupted, said: "Don't interrupt me. Do you still want to listen? But he is the only one in his family. So don't think too much."

"Our restaurant is one of the best in Beijing. It is not inferior to the Six Nations Hotel. We have more than 50 people in total, which was a drop in the bucket compared to their business before."

After saying that, he looked around and whispered, "Director Li, who often comes to the restaurant to eat, is the uncle of the man just now."

"And there are some regular customers and distinguished customers in our store. They are all former employers, business partners in the industry, and shopkeepers in various stores. Now you know! All right. Go do what you need to do..."
