Moreover, please Lao Zhu, when you want to reprimand me, could you put down the squid skewers in your hands first? You don't have the majesty of an emperor.
If the ink can be produced earlier, he can print out the treasure banknotes earlier, and he can be freed from the crime earlier.
Doesn't it smell good?
Of course, the grilled squid also tastes very fragrant. But depending on the situation, I might not be able to eat it.
Sure enough, Lao Zhu saw that Han Du was still standing where he was.
He said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you standing here if you don't continue to do it? You don't have any eyesight. Do you think this is enough?"
Han Du almost vomited blood when he heard this.
I want to yell at Lao Zhu, I am not a cook!
But when I think about it, Lao Zhu doesn't care whether he is an official or a cook. In other words, even if he yells, maybe Lao Zhu will sneer and turn himself into a cook from now on.
Thinking of this, Han Du trembled all over and quickly bowed and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, okay, I'll go right now."
Han Du kept doing it, and Lao Zhu and others had enough to eat and drink.
Fortunately, after Lao Zhu had eaten and drank, he did not forget about Han Du. He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to do anything more and asked Han Du to go over and have something to eat.
Han Du was not polite. He put the last bit of cooked food on the table and sat down to eat.
Han Du hadn't taken a few bites when Lao Zhu suddenly spoke up.
"I heard that you stay in the Banknote Printing Bureau every day these days. How is the printing of treasure banknotes going?"
Hearing this, Han Du ate the food quickly. He drank some tea, rinsed his mouth, and then replied: "Back to the emperor, there is only one ink problem left in the printing of treasure banknotes. As long as the ink can be solved, it will be fine."
Start printing treasure banknotes."
Lao Zhu nodded. Although Han Du had been making treasure banknotes for a little longer, since he was just one step away from making the treasure banknotes, he would not say anything more.
Han Du saw Lao Zhu's expression relaxed, but his worries did not diminish at all.
Why is ink so difficult to make? Han Du was not sure whether the craftsmen could finish the ink within the limited time.
It would be fine if it could be done in time, but once the time dragged on and Lao Zhu lost his patience, Han Du didn't know what the outcome would be.
Just when Han Du was worried, Tang He on the side interjected: "Isn't it easy to get the ink? I have good tung ink at my house. You can bring a few boxes back later."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he glanced at Tang He in surprise. Although Lao Zhu didn't know what the ink Han Du was talking about was, he at least knew that it was definitely not tung ink. Otherwise, the problems that Han Du could solve with money would not be problems.
With such a character, how could he still be able to resist him?
This ink must not be that ink.
Lao Zhu made a judgment in his mind, and looked at Tang He with a much calmer expression. "Brother Xian is still the same as before. He likes to speak straightforwardly."
Han Du was stunned on the spot when Tang He asked him. How should he answer? Should he explain to Tang He what ink is for printing? Or what kind of ink is needed to produce it?
After thinking about it, Han Du still decided to brush this section off first, "Han Du has thanked Duke Xin for his kindness, but Han Du has already figured out this matter and does not dare to bother Duke Xin."
"It's just a box of tung ink, why bother?" Tang He couldn't figure out why, so he just frowned and decided to take care of everything.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu stopped him in time, "Okay, dear brother, since Han Du said he has an idea, don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Tang He also gave up the idea of continuing to help Han Du and replied with a smile: "Yes. Whatever the superiors say will be done."
Lao Zhu had eaten and drank enough. When he saw that it was almost done, he got up.
"Go back to the palace."
Tang He, Han Du and others respectfully sent Lao Zhu off to the outside of the main gate.
It wasn't until Lao Zhu could no longer be seen that Tang He, Han Du and the others straightened up.
Zhu Biao naturally left with Lao Zhu, but Xu Da and Li Wenzhong stayed behind.
When Tang He saw the emperor leaving, he turned around and laughed and said, "Xian brother, Wenzhong, let's continue."
Xu Da turned around and went back in response to the soup, but he said: "It's okay to drink and eat meat. I was already full just now. It would be good to sit down and drink tea to help digestion."
"Okay, it's up to you, just drink tea." Tang He laughed loudly.
The few people returned to their original place, and Tang and them sat around another table drinking tea and chatting.
Han Du was not in the mood to drink tea now. The soup and the others had eaten enough, but Han Du was still hungry. Returning to the table, Han Du continued to eat with splashes of juice.
After eating and drinking enough, Han Du had the energy to bring tea and meet Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others one by one.
When Tang He saw Han Du sitting down, his heart moved and he joked: "These things you made are really rare and delicious. They also have unique effects when eaten. Why not open a restaurant that sells these things?"
After Tang He finished speaking, he winked and gave Han Du a look that every man would understand.
Han Du naturally understood what Tang He meant and couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.
Although oysters are good, don’t be greedy for too much!
What's more, at your age, if you die on a woman's belly one day, I will have to come to express my condolences to you.
Besides, is it so easy to sell these things?
Han Du raised his eyes and looked at Tang He and said: "Xin Guogong, if you want to open a restaurant, you need a stable supply of goods. Otherwise, this business of selling one day and resting for three days, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days will be over sooner or later."
When Tang He heard that Han Du also wanted to open a restaurant, he patted his leg excitedly, "It's easy to have a stable supply of goods. I just ask my men to deliver it every day. Anyway, they have to go to sea every day for training and inspection.
Salvaging some of these things is just a matter of hunting down rabbits. When the time comes, just give them a price, just enough to allow them to buy a drink."
Han Du was stunned when he heard this. Is the operation so cool? He actually asked his navy to fish for seafood?
Han Du pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "This, it seems inappropriate to use public tools for private use, right?"
"That's right," Tang He thought for a moment and nodded. Then he said, "If you think this is inappropriate, just ask them to bring some back during training every day and sell them on the beach. I will send them again then.
Just let people collect it."
Hmm~
This, isn't this just changing the soup without changing the medicine?
But in this way, at least it will look much better on the surface. Even if someone impeaches someone in the future, they can completely shirk it. They can blame it on the soldiers of the Navy or the servants who purchased it. After one and two attempts, it will naturally be settled.
