"Hahahaha~, third brother, your honeycomb coal is really a baby, it's only been three days, our Cao Ji coal shop has sold two million pieces of honeycomb coal, and this is because of the hot weather, not a lot of coal is used, if it waits for winter, I'm afraid it will be doubled directly!" In the back garden of the courtyard, Cao Song drank tea and laughed loudly, he was so happy today.

"Okay, I know that your Cao family is raising their eyebrows this time, but what is the reaction of the Gao family, after they see your honeycomb coal, they will not do nothing, right?" Zhao Yan, who sat opposite Cao Song, asked with a smile, as soon as the honeycomb coal of Cao Ji Coal Shop came out, it immediately spread to the entire Tokyo City like a flood, and now most of the major shops and restaurants have changed to more convenient, cleaner and cheaper honeycomb coal, as for the original lump coal, it was abandoned by others, so that the business of Caojia Coal Shop and Gaojia Coal Shop immediately had a dramatic reversal, and Caojia Coal Shop was busy in front of the door, and Gaojia Coal Shop became crowded.

As soon as Zhao Yan asked about the Gao family's reaction, Cao Song said even more excitedly: "Third brother, you don't know, the Gao family's coal shop has almost no business these days, and as far as I know, several elders of the Gao family have also panicked, and they have been convening the shopkeeper of the coal shop to discuss in the past few days, but they still have no way, they want to go to the coal mine to buy crushed coal, but unfortunately the output of crushed coal has been contracted by our family, and they don't want to buy any of them!" ”

"That's not necessarily, if the Gao family crushes the lump of coal they bought, won't there be broken coal?" Zhao Yan suddenly joked at this time, which caused Cao Song to laugh again, the price of lump coal is much higher than that of broken coal, if it is broken and sold, it will have to increase the cost, and if this kind of crushed coal is used to make honeycomb coal, I am afraid that I will have to pay for death.

After laughing a few words, Cao Song suddenly sighed again and said: "But this time, although our Cao family turned over with honeycomb coal, but we can't really force the Gao family to a dead end, as long as a few elders of the Gao family come forward, say a humble word to my father and second uncle, and then let Queen Gao find the Queen Mother to ask for a favor, I'm afraid that in the end, our Cao family will still have to give up part of the coal business to the Gao family, think about it, it's really cheap for the Gao family!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the dispute between a big family like the Gao family and the Cao family would definitely kill you, but when Cao Song said this, it seemed that the conflict between the Cao and Gao families was not so cruel.

"The third brother doesn't know, although we and the Gao family have some conflicts of interests, but together we support the benefits of the entire Jiangmen, especially the civil officials' squeezing of the military generals is getting worse and worse, and the rights in our hands are almost completely empty by them, but even so, the civil officials are still wary of us everywhere, so in this case, as Jiangmen, we and the Gao family must not fight too much, otherwise the civil officials will definitely take advantage of the situation."

When he said this, Cao Song paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, don't look at the Gao family last time, it seems that our Cao family was forced to a dead end, but in fact, as long as my father and second uncle come forward, and then let the queen mother intercede, then the Gao family will also hand over part of the coal business, but when our Cao family sees the Gao family in the future, they will feel a head shorter, which is definitely unacceptable for our Cao family, so my father and second uncle will not give in to the Gao family." ”

Hearing Cao Song's words, Zhao Yan nodded understandingly, it seems that although there is infighting in Jiangmen, under the pressure of the civilian group, they have to control the infighting within a certain range, at least so that this infighting cannot become internal friction, otherwise it will only make the already weak Jiangmen worse.

When Zhao Yan and the two were talking, they saw Xiao Bean Sprouts coming over with a charcoal stove, and Mi Xue behind her was holding a casserole, the lid of the pot was steaming, and there was a tempting aroma, smelling this aroma, Cao Song immediately stopped talking, and quickly twitched a few noses, revealing a salivating expression.

I saw that after the little bean sprouts put down the charcoal stove, Mi Xue put the casserole on the stove again, and then bowed down and said: "The king of the county, the dishes you ordered the kitchen to cook are ready, please taste how it tastes, if it is not right, the slave maid will ask the nurse to make it again." ”

Zhao Yan took a deep breath of this familiar fragrance, and couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression, and after a while, he said to Mi Xue: "No need, this is the taste of the nurse, and I will make some more for the third sister to send to the third sister, this thing is good for beauty when a woman eats it." ”

"Yes!" Mi Xue agreed and retreated, as for the little bean sprouts, as Zhao Yan's personal maid, she naturally had to serve on the side, but Zhao Yan turned her head to the little bean sprouts at this time and asked, "Little bean sprouts, are the pig's trotters in the casserole delicious?" ”

"Hehe, the dishes made in the kitchen ordered by the king of the county are delicious, especially this braised pig's trotters, which is simply delicious!" The little bean sprouts spit out their little tongue mischievously. There is no need to guess at all, Zhao Yan can be sure that with the greedy character of the little bean sprouts, she must have eaten it secretly before serving it, not to mention that there is still a little red juice left on this girl's mouth, and her fingers are also greasy, if she didn't eat it secretly, I'm afraid the ghost won't believe it.

"Hey, you two masters and servants go on, I can't help it!" Cao Song said and opened the lid of the pot, revealing the red pig's trotters inside, which made people appetize at a glance, Cao Song picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece into his mouth, but he was scalded and blown, but he was reluctant to spit it out.

Zhao Yan saw that Cao Song had already done it, for fear that he would not have his own, so he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece, but when he was eating, he did not forget to give a piece of small bean sprouts, for Zhao Yan's behavior that there is no difference between up and down, Cao Song has long been accustomed to it, he already knew that his family married this little bean sprout is very favored by Zhao Yan, and even his cousin did not regard the little bean sprouts as a subordinate, and it is estimated that the other party is likely to become Zhao Yan's concubine in the future.

The pig's trotters in the casserole were quickly eaten up by Zhao Yan and the others, and finally Cao Songyun burped a pig bone, and said with a satisfied face: "Fortunately, the third brother-in-law didn't come today, otherwise these pig's trotters are not enough for him to eat alone." ”

When he said this, Cao Song suddenly sighed lightly, and asked Zhao Yan with wide eyes: "Third brother, hasn't the wild boar that Princess Shoukang hunted last time have not been eaten yet?" ”

"Who told you that this is a wild boar?" Zhao Yan held a toothpick and squinted his eyes and said, today he suddenly wanted to eat pig's trotters very much, so he handed over the braised pig's trotters to the kitchen, but he didn't expect the pig's trotters to be ready, but Cao Song came, and as a result, half of the pig's trotters were grabbed by the other party.

"Not a wild boar?" Cao Song almost jumped up when he heard this, and pointed at Zhao Yanqi's flushed face and said, "You...... You wouldn't make this dish with the trotters of domestic pigs, would you? ”

"Of course, it's a domestic pig's trotter, the wild boar's trotters are a very rare medicinal material, which was put away by the doctor in my house, and the skin on the wild boar's trotters is too old, and there is no domestic pig's trotters so fragrant and tender!" Zhao Yan said very calmly, he has always been dismissive of the fact that the Northern Song Dynasty nobles did not like to eat pork, and even thought that this was a big loss for the Northern Song Dynasty nobles.

"You...... You...... I...... I ......" Cao Songqi's whole body trembled, he never thought that Zhao Yan, a county king, would actually use pork to cook, and even he ate it himself.

Seeing Cao Song's excited appearance, Zhao Yan stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Jiu'er, let me ask you, is this dish delicious just now?" ”

"It's delicious, but it's pork ......"

"What's wrong with pork, some poor people can't even afford pork, not to mention that pork is ready, it is also a rare delicacy, just now you ate more than me and small bean sprouts!" Zhao Yan said unceremoniously that many years later, Su Dongpo could change the eating habits of the Great Song Dynasty with a dish of Dongpo meat, and he didn't believe that the so much pork he brought would not be as good as a dish of Dongpo meat.

Cao Song was robbed by Zhao Yan, and he also felt that there was some truth, but then he thought of Zhao Yan's words just now, and hurriedly asked: "Third brother, just now you said that you should let the kitchen make more for Princess Shoukang, is it possible that Princess Shoukang also eats pork?" ”

"Why don't you eat it, my third sister is not as hypocritical as you, people said that as long as I dare to eat something, she will dare to eat it, of course, excluding human flesh!" Zhao Yan is not lying, Princess Shoukang has been living in another courtyard for the past few days, and she can't hide what Zhao Yan eats from her, so when she saw that Zhao Yan likes to eat dishes made of pork, and the taste of these dishes is not worse than the wild boar meat before, she immediately asked the kitchen to prepare a pork recipe for her, and she usually eats whatever Zhao Yan eats.

As soon as he heard that Princess Shoukang also ate pork, Cao Song's attitude immediately took a 360-degree turn, and he patted his chest and said: "Since the princess dares to eat, I have no problem, so what, little bean sprouts, you let the kitchen make more, I haven't eaten yet!" ”

Xiao Dou Sprouts also covered his mouth and laughed when he heard this, and immediately promised to go to the kitchen to prepare, while Zhao Yan laughed and scolded a few words, and then sat down and chatted with Cao Song about the West Garden Elegance Collection, speaking of which, tomorrow is the date of the West Garden Elegance Collection, and now the gentlemen and scholars in the city are already gearing up to make a big show at tomorrow's banquet, but their way of showing off is completely different, and they will also gather separately at that time, and no one will interfere with anyone, It's just that Zhao Yan wants to cross the line this time and make a splash in the ranks of scholars.
