Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "After all, it is a young man's nature, and it is not very safe." ”

"Your Highness is younger than me, so I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not very safe." After saying this, he also felt a little rude: "The grass people are rude." It's just that the grass people have made up their minds about this matter, even if those people don't want to be imperial businessmen, after this section, will Xu Jingyan still let them have a peaceful birthday? So these people are confused, they can only choose one road, and they want to take care of both sides, so they can't get any benefits on both sides, so our Tao family decided to go one way to the black, even if it is for the burial of the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as leaving a good reputation for future generations. ”

"I think you should still listen to your father's opinion, if your father doesn't agree, I won't let you continue to do the imperial business, because your family will not fully support you, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to sort out the affairs of your family at that time, and what will you talk about doing things for me."

Tao Li was a little discouraged, turned his head and walked out: "I will definitely convince my father." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed and ignored him, this Tao family is a powerful merchant in Chengdu, if he can be an imperial businessman, it is indeed a relief for him, but this matter must unify their family's opinions, only if their family helps Cheng Xiaolian wholeheartedly, Cheng Xiaolian dares to let them do it, after all, there is only this imperial businessman left, and the resources he gets will be very different.

After Tao Li left, Mao Ruoling suddenly came to the house, after all, she and Cheng Xiaolian had nothing to do, and living in the house was not good for the reputation of the Mao family, so she could only live in the Mao family's mansion. Also with her was Xiao Qi: "Your Highness, we haven't seen you for a long time, come and see how you're doing." ”

"What's wrong, what should I eat, I should sleep, I am calculated every day, and I am not happy at all."

"There are still people who dare to calculate you, you cut off their heads."

"Haha, it's easy to say if things were so easy, it's easy to cut off a person's head, but it's hard to regain the hearts and minds of a city. I didn't see the two of you when I entered Chengdu City, what did you two do? ”

Mao Ruoling sighed: "What else can I do, embroider at home, compared to the little seventh sister, she is much freer, she can go to that kind of place to play, I said go together, my uncle almost broke my legs." ”

"Haha, that kind of place is really not for girls to play, and the reason why she went over was not for fun, it was for business." Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiao Qi: "Is Feng Ge's business still going well?" ”

"Smooth, secretly with the help of Jinyi Wei, Master and Uncle have been very busy recently, but they have already established a foothold in Chengdu City, and they said that they will be able to squeeze out other houses within half a year."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's good if it goes well, it's a bad thing that the two of you are here today, if I came a little earlier, I could have taken you to the play, but now that the play is finished, I don't have to watch it." Why don't I take you around Chengdu City? ”

Mao Ruoling nodded hurriedly, suddenly blushing again, and quickly lowered her head, Cheng Xiaolian didn't pay much attention: "Yang Youcai, I'm going out to walk the streets and alleys of Chengdu City, do you want to go?" ”

"Of course, it is my 。。。。。。 to protect Your Highness" Yang Youcai stepped in and saw the two girls, and quickly changed his words: "I think it's good to protect secretly." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Let's go, it's not an outsider, let's go shopping together." ”

"Don't, you are young and in your prime, and I am a bad old man and a bad old man, so I should just keep it secret."

Cheng Xiaolian looked at him: "Yo, this is a bad old man, shouldn't you, the commander of the brocade guard, make room for the young man, at such an old age, I'll find you a place to retire." ”

"Actually, I think that although I am not young, I am still suitable for my prime, Your Highness, you must take me." said and looked at the two girls with a bitter face: "Two girls, Your Highness threatened me with an official position, and I could only give in, don't be surprised." ”

Xiao Qi looked at him strangely as if he was looking at the living treasure: "You fat uncle is quite interesting, and his kung fu is first-class in the world." ”

Yang Youcai looked frustrated: "Did I shoot so obviously?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Let's go, it's dark if I don't go." ”

When the group went out of the house, Cheng Xiaolian glanced around: "I don't know if there is any hot pot to eat at this time." ”

Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment: "What did Your Highness say?" ”

"Hot pot."

"What is hot pot?"

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't look like it's clear yet." ”

"What the hell is Your Highness talking about?"

"I'll take you to eat hot pot."

Saying that, he waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go buy materials and go back to the house to cook and eat by ourselves." ”

As early as fifty or sixty years ago, chili pepper has been introduced to China, and pepper has been passed over in the Han Dynasty, as for other meat Cheng Xiaolian is not worried at all, at this time there is not even an animal protection law, let alone eating beef, even eating cranes and tigers, no one can care about him.

Several people watched him buy all kinds of things, all with suspicious eyes, Mao Ruoling quietly asked: "Does he really know how to cook?" ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "I don't know about this, but it should look like this, even if it doesn't, it doesn't matter, we can have a meal no matter how we make do." ”

Cheng Xiaolian didn't pay attention to them, after the Song Dynasty, there was soybean oil and vegetable oil, he first let people stew a pot of pork ribs, but there were not many ribs, Yang Youcai hummed on the side: "Your Highness, if you invite us to eat meat, these bones are not enough for me to eat alone." ”

"Don't worry, you won't be able to finish it." As he spoke, he glanced at the cook, "Cut the beef into slices." ”

Of course, it is more difficult for ordinary people to eat beef, if Cheng Xiaolian eats beef, it can't be simpler, of course, he can't have endless meat every day, and when he goes back and spreads it, the soldiers below will always feel uncomfortable.

The cook didn't know what His Highness wanted to do, so he quickly began to cut the meat into slices, in ancient times, there was no refrigerator, and the meat was not easy to cut into thin slices, but the cook relied on this to eat, and soon cut out a whole large plate of meat slices.

The oil on Cheng Xiaolian's side was also hot, and he hurriedly poured in the dried chili peppers and peppercorns, and bursts of fragrance instantly wafted out of the pot, Yang Youcai saw this kind of scene, and muttered in his mouth: "Yuan Zonghao and Confucius don't know what to think, the gentleman doesn't understand how to cook, and he actually let His Royal Highness learn to cook." ”

Xiao Qi snorted on the side: "He didn't know before that he would rebel and become His Highness, what would he eat if he didn't cook?" ”

Green onions, ginger, and diced garlic were all sent into the pot, and then the sauce was put in, Cheng Xiaolian didn't know when the bean paste was made, in short, this sauce was made of beans, and it looked good and could only be used improvised. After copying it for a while, he added the oil boiled from the fat of the cow, and Yang Youcai's saliva flowed out: "Your Highness, when will the meal be served, Lao Yang will starve to death." ”

It's time to prepare for the change, comrades, are you ready to vote? Hey, hey, hey
