When it came to this, Guo Tongxiong did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "General, there is an old saying that it is good, it is good to spend no hundred days, and the same is true for trading, braised meat has been sold for so many years, the freshness has long passed, and it is not rare, and there are many more opponents, and now they are a little unsellable, and if they continue, they may lose money, and after discussing with the clan elders, the patriarch decided not to operate braised meat anymore..."

"What? Don't sell braised pork anymore? Zheng Peng didn't speak, and Cui Er on the side immediately said anxiously: "Such a lucrative deal, how can you say that you won't do it if you don't do it, this, this... It's hard work, and it's not bad to have one more entry every year. ”

Zheng Peng didn't want to waste his expression with this kind of little person, and the task of playing with him fell on Cui Er.

So as not to drop the price.

Hmph, it's so cool to divide the money every year, now it's reluctant, I don't know who earned this money for you, forgot how to treat the God of Wealth just now?

Seeing that Zheng Peng kept his face stiff and didn't speak, and Cui Er, the official of the Zheng Mansion, looked anxious, Guo Tongxiong's heart was as refreshing as drinking a bowl of the iciest sour plum soup on the hottest dog days.

was secretly refreshed, but Guo Tongxiong didn't dare to show it, but just pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "Steward Cui, we are reluctant, but we really can't continue to operate, and there is no way to end it, so we can't do loss-making transactions." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Tongxiong said with some schadenfreude: "I don't dare to guarantee the birth of a son when I marry a mother-in-law, and I don't dare to guarantee my profits even if I do business, what if I lose it?" ”

A cold light flashed in Cui Er's eyes, his old face twitched, he couldn't hold back, and asked, "Steward Guo, don't you want to eat alone, cross the river and tear down the bridge after getting my uncle's secret recipe?" ”

My own lady has been married to my uncle for a few years, and she has not come out, and there are many people who criticize her, Guo Tongxiong's gloating tone originally made Cui Er unhappy, and he said that he would not protect his son, which made Cui Er angry, if it weren't for the uncle's business not being finished, he would have beaten him all over the ground looking for teeth.

"No, absolutely not" Guo Tongxiong immediately denied: "The secret recipe for braised meat is provided by the general, if you don't cooperate, the secret recipe will naturally be returned to the general, and the small one can be guaranteed here, and the secret recipe will not be disclosed after separation, and the secret recipe for braised pork provided by the general will not make money, in fact, the general has also divided more than three million dividends by relying on this secret recipe over the years, which is worth it." ”

Cui Er snorted coldly and said: "This year, I earned less, and it still exceeded 100,000 yuan in dividends, and the Guixiang Guo family didn't even pay attention to 100,000 yuan, it seems that it is not to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but to start anew, ready to eat alone, right?" ”

Guo Tongxiong was taken aback, he didn't expect Cui Er to guess so accurately, but he quickly stabilized, and said without humility or arrogance: "Steward Cui, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be talked nonsense, Guixiang Guo's family has cooperated with the general for so many years, how can he say that he is also his own person, how can he do this kind of thing, it is really a bad prospect of braised meat, and he can't continue to operate, if Steward Cui doesn't believe it, you can try to sell it yourself, anyway, the general also has a secret recipe." ”

After a pause, Guo Tongxiong added: "Of course, without braised meat, Guixiang Guo's will also lose a lot of input, but we will also find another project to fill in." ”

After years of research, Guixiang Guo mastered the improved formula of braised meat, the taste is better than braised meat, after stopping selling braised meat, it turned into selling improved formula of braised meat, of course, in order to clear up the relationship with Zheng Peng, the new meat is not called braised meat, renamed fragrant meat.

Before coming, Guo Tongxiong chose the name of the new meat.

Cui Er had already received Zheng Peng's assistance, and threatened on the spot: "If you can eat alone from another stove, you can indeed eat a lot more, but Steward Guo, don't forget that our uncle is a new upstart in the court, and he is still the son-in-law of the Boling Cui family. ”

Before Guo Tongxiong came, Zheng Peng knew that he had changed his accounts, that is, Guo Tongxiong's ghost Chongchong came to Chang'an in advance, and Zheng Peng instructed Cui Er to scare Guo Tongxiong in advance and find out which backer he had found.

Guo Tongxiong's face tightened, and he said a little unnaturally: "Steward Cui, how can I say that I have cooperated for so long, and the Guo family of Guixiang has also helped the general a lot, and the business is not benevolent, how can I personally threaten it." ”

Zheng Peng is a general of Zhengxi, his command is full of talents, and he has the support of the Boling Cui clan behind him, if it is not good for him, it is estimated that he will not know how to die.

"Benevolence and righteousness are said to friends, for the kind of white-eyed wolf who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, why should he be benevolent and righteous? Steward Guo's face is so unsightly, he won't let him say it, right? Cui Er stared at Guo Tongxiong and said with a smile.

Cui Er is a slave of the family, serving as the role of the second housekeeper, but he has served as the housekeeper of the third room of the Cui family in Boling for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with high power, especially the person who follows Cui Yuan, who has long developed an aura of a superior person, don't look at him in front of Zheng Peng and Lu Shu, he looks respectful and harmless, and as soon as he lets go of his momentum in front of Guo Tongxiong, Guo Tongxiong has a feeling of stiffness and trembling in his heart on the spot, as if he is being targeted by a ferocious beast.

"Don't, don't mess around" Guo Tongxiong was in a hurry, and couldn't help but say Li Ying to protect himself: "General Cui, you'd better... It's best not to act rashly, and I'm not afraid to tell you that your hometown Guo has served the prince, and a certain person who is also the prince, and it depends on the master to beat the dog, if you move me, the prince will not let you go. ”

Because of the relationship of cooperation, Guo Tongxiong knows a lot of Zheng Peng's things, don't look at Zheng Peng's indifferent look on weekdays, but once he initiates a ruthless look, it is absolutely terrible: before he took the throne, he dared to fight to the death with the two famous clans of Boling Cui and Taiyuan Wang for the sake of Lushu, and the Tubo people designed to kill Zheng Peng's brother and the personal guard A Jun, and tried his courage in the Western Regions for a few years, and forcibly wiped out Tubo.

The most terrifying thing is that Zheng Peng still has a very powerful firearm in his hand, Guo Tongxiong is afraid that Zheng Peng will be angry, and secretly send someone to kill it himself, where can he manage so much, so he can only move out the talisman of the prince.

Your own life is the most important thing.

Zheng Peng and Cui Er glanced at each other: sure enough, it was Li Ying.

Zheng Peng only knew when he returned to Chang'an that the matter was over, but Zheng Peng was still angry in his heart: he had no ambitions, he just wanted to be a happy "Taiping dog", others liked to rob them, and they would rob him, just live his own life, but he didn't expect that he was desperate on the front line, but someone was bullying his family in the rear, and Zheng Peng cared most about the people around him, and he didn't say anything after he knew it, and secretly hated Li Ying in his heart.

After coming back, Li Ying sent someone to send a gift, but Zheng Peng refused without even looking at the gift list.

Okay, I really let myself guess it.

Cui Er pretended to be surprised and said: "No, it's impossible, the prince is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, where can you see a little person like you, it must be you lying." ”

Seeing Cui Er's scared look, Guo Tongxiong thought he was scared, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, shook it in front of Cui Er, and said triumphantly: "See, this is the jade pendant that the prince carried, and the prince specially rewarded me with a protective body." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Tongxiong looked at Zheng Peng, who was drinking tea by himself, and said insinuatingly: "Steward Cui, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, it's best to see your position clearly, don't get into trouble, I don't know how to die then." ”

Cool, Guo Tongxiong was so happy that he wanted to hum a few words, what about the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion, what about the champion Hou and the upstart in the court, they were all scum in front of the prince, the future emperor, seeing the majestic Zheng Peng was so frightened that he didn't dare to refute, his heart was like eating the legendary peach, very comfortable.

Zheng Peng looked at Guo Tongxiong's smug appearance, a subtle cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "No wonder you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, it turns out that it is not only a new stove, but also found a big backer, and after cooperating for so long, there is some friendship, Steward Guo, let me ask you, do you know about this matter, is it the meaning of your hometown Guo, or your own meaning?" ”

After working together for so long, it's hard to say that you can turn your face and turn your face, so Zheng Peng decided to ask clearly.

"Of course it's what Guixiang Guo means, General Zheng, this matter has been decided, even if it is useless to go to our patriarch." Guo Tongxiong said with an affirmative face.

Zheng Peng nodded expressionlessly: "Okay, since you don't talk about friendship, Steward Guo shouldn't be busy crossing the river and demolishing the river, and the brothers have to settle the accounts, it's okay to dismantle the gang, figure out the accounts." ”
