Chapter 172 Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly
Soon, Qin Wenyuan knew what he wanted to do.
I saw Cheng Yaojin take a new pair of chopsticks, select the fattest piece from the beef slices, and put it into the spicy part of the mandarin duck pot.
During the cooking process, he also deliberately let several pieces of millet pepper stick to the fat beef.
"Ahem, Mr. Wei, this is a newly invented way to eat. I guarantee you will like it." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
He put the piece of fat cow into Wei Zheng's bowl, and his expression looked as good as he wanted.
Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Humph, Mr. Cheng, take it away. I, Wei Zheng, will set an example and will never eat an unjust death!"
But while speaking, his throat moved obviously several times.
It seemed that he was attracted by the spicy delicious food and his appetite was already whetted.
But Cheng Yaojin had just been beaten for this matter, and now he was too embarrassed to say anything.
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin winked at Qin Wenyuan again.
This time, Qin Wenyuan completely understood.
It turned out that Cheng Yaojin asked him to persuade Wei Zheng to eat fat beef dipped in spicy soup.
He probably wanted Wei Zheng to be like him, so he was not used to eating spicy food and ended up swollen into a pig's head.
Cheng Yaojin was really brave this time, daring to tease Wei Zheng.
The corners of Qin Wenyuan's mouth raised, and he suddenly showed a knowing smile.
"Master Wei, although the cause of death of this cow is very strange, since it is dead, it would be a waste if you don't eat it. Why not give it a try?" Qin Wenyuan said.
"Yes, yes."
Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly and looked at Wei Zheng eagerly.
At the same time, he picked up another piece of fat beef and put it into Wei Zheng's bowl again.
At this moment, Wei Zheng thought for a moment and felt that Qin Wenyuan was right.
So he picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fat beef into his mouth. However, the moment the fat beef entered his mouth, Qin Wenyuan's face changed drastically.
Wei Zheng's face suddenly turned red with a hiss.
"hiss......"
"What is it? It's so spicy."
"Water, give me water quickly, I want to drink water."
Wei Zheng said eagerly, it was so spicy that he screamed.
After he swallowed the fat cow, he hurriedly looked for water to drink. He drank several glasses of water in a row before slowly relaxing.
His eyes looked at the Yuanyang Pot with some fear, but his expression seemed to be a little moved.
"Hey, Mr. Wei, this... this isn't right. Why isn't your mouth swollen?" Cheng Yaojin asked doubtfully, feeling very unbelievable.
But after he said the words, he felt that something was wrong.
"What?"
Wei Zheng was a little overwhelmed at first.
But when he saw Cheng Yaojin's swollen lips, he seemed to understand. It turned out that this was Cheng Yaojin's idea!!
No wonder you were so flirtatious just now!
"Nothing, nothing." Cheng Yaojin shook his head repeatedly and backed away in panic.
Wei Zheng glanced at Cheng Yaojin and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Mr. Cheng is an upright person, but he always does some despicable things."
"Master Cheng, you need to change this!"
"Yes, yes, I will change it, I will change it!" Cheng Yaojin nodded quickly.
But he was a little surprised at why Wei Zheng acted so calmly.
This is mainly because Wei Zheng only thinks that fat beef is spicy and does not find it unpalatable.
If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin, he felt that he might not go back to eat this delicious fat beef.
The fat beef is really delicious, so when he said it was spicy, he didn't spit it out, but swallowed it before asking for water.
At this moment, after Wei Zheng finished scolding Cheng Yaojin in a roundabout way, he looked at the Yuanyang Pot. To be honest, the spicy smell coming from the Yuanyang Pot made Wei Zheng feel choked at first.
But after getting used to it, I felt my stomach growling for a while, protesting why I didn't eat such delicious food!
It was the first time I ate spicy food and I felt uncomfortable. Now that I have come back to my senses, I feel it is particularly delicious.
This is due to the fact that Wei Zheng likes to eat ginger, so his sensitivity and adaptability to spicy food are very different from Cheng Yaojin's. He will not be like Cheng Yaojin just now, who will be as spicy as a pig's head when he eats it.
But after getting used to it, I started to like spicy food.
"Mr. Qin, as expected, you invented this way of eating fat beef. I wonder... I wonder how to eat beef in this new way?" Wei Zheng looked at the mandarin duck pot and said with a smile.
In his opinion, only Qin Wenyuan has this ability. Cheng Yaojin next to him... It's not that he underestimates him, it's that he really can't create it!
At this moment, seeing the spicy smell coming out of it, Wei Zheng suddenly felt like his appetite was whetted.
However, after being bitten by Cheng once, he felt that he had to ask clearly before using his chopsticks.
Qin Wenyuan glared at Cheng Yaojin.
Then he looked at Wei Zheng in surprise. Wei Zheng's adaptation to spicy food made him feel a little surprised.
Before he could speak, his wife Chang Le spoke first.
She didn't take the initiative to tell Wei Zheng just now that he might be spicy, but now she felt a little guilty about it, so she quickly took the initiative to teach Wei Zheng how to eat it.
After a meal, Wei Zheng tasted the fat beef again.
This time, Wei Zheng only tasted the spiciness and did not eat it together with the ginger and dogwood.
"Hiss...it feels so good! This...Mrs. Qin, this is truly a delicacy in the world!!" Wei Zheng took a bite of the fat beef and immediately felt waves of wonderful feelings coming over him.
In an instant, all the resentment caused by Cheng Yaojin's anger dissipated.
After eating several mouthfuls, Wei Zheng's eagerness to learn suddenly rose. He quickly looked at Qin Wenyuan and said with a smile: "Master Qin, I wonder what this is? Why does it have such effect?"
"This melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, to be honest, even the delicacies in the palace cannot compare to it!"
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the ginger and dogwood on the table with a very excited expression.
This is really delicious. I haven’t eaten such delicious food in a long time.
It's obviously beef, and it's obviously the ancient soup recipe, but it tastes delicious on earth.
As a first-class official, what kind of delicacies have you not tasted?
But this is the first time I eat it like this.
He planned that if Qin Wenyuan told how to make it, he would eat it often in the future.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, no matter how hard and tired you are, you can’t eat without working hard!
"This is called hot pot, um... it's a way of eating that can fully utilize the effects of ginger and dogwood."
Qin Wenyuan spoke concisely and concisely.
"Can ginger and dogwood be used together? Do you need anything else? If so, Wei can buy it from you and ask the house to open a hot pot the next day after returning."
Wei Zheng looked at Yang Fei, and his tone actually sounded like a request. As expected, no one can escape the law of true fragrance.
Even Wei Zheng, as a first-class official, has no resistance to true fragrance.
Moreover, it was very meaningful for him to buy it from Qin Wenyuan. If there were other things, then Qin Wenyuan said he could buy them directly by himself, why would he have to go through Qin Wenyuan's procedure.
Obviously, Wei Zheng wanted Qin Wenyuan to work as a middleman to earn some money.
"Nothing else is needed, just ginger and dogwood." Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
If you are as smart as him, you will naturally understand what Wei Zheng means. To be honest, he also wants to make money, but he may not need any complicated procedures at all!
Hot pot is originally a method that everyone can afford! It is very popular among the people!
Hearing this, Wei Zheng sighed with regret.
So I could only turn my grief and anger into strength, and together with the Cheng family, we destroyed most of the beef on the table.
Wei Zheng didn't stop until he couldn't eat any more.
But I still feel unfinished, and I keep praising the hot pot as a delicious way to eat.
"Mr. Qin, actually I have something to ask you. Why don't you talk while we're walking?"
After taking a short rest, Wei Zheng spoke in a deep voice.
He came to Qin Wenyuan today not only to comfort him about Qin Wenyuan's assassination, but also for other reasons.
It was just an accident that I happened to meet Cheng Yaojin slaughtering a cow.
Qin Wenyuan looked at his wife Chang Le, whose belly was bulging after eating, so he nodded in agreement, supported his wife like a pregnant woman, and left together.
"Master Qin, Mr. Wei, please go slowly."
Cheng Yaojin, who had been laughing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief.
He had long wanted Wei Zheng to leave.
Wei Zheng is here and he hasn’t even touched his chopsticks!
…………
After leaving Cheng Yaojin's mansion.
Qin Wenyuan, Wei Zheng, and Chang Le marched shoulder to shoulder.
However, precisely because they were shoulder to shoulder, Wei Zheng looked a little embarrassed at this time.
The three of them were obviously walking in the front, but Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le were just too much. They were chatting with each other without even looking at him!
"Ahem...ahem."
Wei Zheng coughed several times in order to get the attention of Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le.
Qin Wenyuan couldn't stand it and said with a smile: "Master Wei, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, I just want to..." When Wei Zheng said this, he suddenly rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
Borrowing money from his friend Qin Wenyuan in front of the princess is extremely embarrassing no matter what.
When Qin Wen saw the sight, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
"Master Wei, are your hands cramped? No... No, no, Master Wei wants to go to the toilet?"
"It's normal to want to go to the toilet after eating too much. Just go and don't worry about our couple."
Qin Wenyuan waved his hand and said.
Judging from the way Wei Zheng was rubbing his hands, he looked like he was in a hurry to go to the toilet. He was probably afraid that he and his wife would be embarrassed, so he didn't bring it up.
Qin Wenyuan said, pulling Chang Le to quickly speed up the pace.
Chang Le also understood. He tightened his belly and started walking quickly with Qin Wenyuan.
The current appearance of the couple is like walking, but in fact they are almost as fast as running.
"No, Mr. Qin, you misunderstood." Wei Zheng shouted quickly from behind and quickly chased after him.
"Master Wei, what's the matter with you?" Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le had to stop after being stopped.
"Ahem..."
Wei Zheng coughed again and then told the reason why he came to Yang Fei today.
He said: "It's like this, Mr. Qin, hasn't His Majesty recently had a falling out with the Five Surnames, Qi Wang, and other aristocratic families, so correspondingly, our Tang Dynasty treasury has become empty again."
"Nowadays, whether it is the casting of curved shafts and plows needed for food or armaments, a lot of money is needed."
"Earlier, I heard that Mr. Qin opened five Changyuan tea shops. Because of the excellent quality of his tea, coupled with your own reputation, Mr. Qin, you have completely suppressed the reputation of other tea shops, completely leaving Chang'an City as the only tea shop.
You are left to stay at the tea shop."
"I thought, since your business is booming, you should...should have some money, right?"
Wei Zheng said a little embarrassed.
In every business, no matter how big or small, the profits of monopoly are huge.
Wei Zheng knew this very well.
The reason why I'm so unsure is mainly because I can't live with it.
"Do you want to borrow money..."
Qin Wenyuan murmured and looked at his wife Chang Le beside him.
Even brothers are clear about settling scores, let alone one's best friend.
Borrowing money for the construction of a great country must be borrowed. After all, when the country is strong, the lives of the people will be more happy, and in disguise, your own life will be more happy, and you don't have to worry about the raging war all the time.
But how to borrow money needs to be clearly discussed, such as when to pay it back, how much interest will be paid, etc.
"Husband, don't look at me. You can do whatever you want." Changle said with a smile.
At this moment, her heart felt as sweet as eating honey.
Because Qin Wenyuan earned most of the money, and now someone else borrowed the money, Qin Wenyuan did not make the decision himself, but looked at her. This is self-evident.
Just asking for her opinion!
Changle actually didn't have much objection to borrowing money. After all, he was lending it to Datang, his father. How could he be dissatisfied?
If all the money was his own, Changle would give it directly to his father.
It's just like marrying a chicken, marrying a dog, following a dog. Since I married Qin Wenyuan, I must give priority to my husband.
No matter what decision Qin Wenyuan makes, even if he really rejects his father's request, he will not blame him.
When Wei Zheng on the side heard Chang Le's words, his face suddenly became a little ugly.
He borrowed money just for Li Shimin. Wei Zheng originally thought that Changle would nod, so he specifically chose Qin Wenyuan to tell him when he was traveling with Changle.
Unexpectedly, Changle respected Qin Wenyuan and listened to his opinions on everything.
This...is careless!
Wei Zheng was annoyed. If he had known this, he would have said it while eating just now.
Although Cheng Yaojin did not get along with him, his interests before the country were still consistent, and he would definitely persuade Qin Wenyuan to lend him the money.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan finally made up his mind, patted the back of his wife's hand to reassure her, and then said: "Master Wei, it's not impossible to borrow money."
"But you have to set up an IOU, and you have to calculate interest."
"After all, this is not lending to private individuals, but to the state."
This money is not lent to private individuals.
In modern society, lending money to the state requires interest repayment.
Although we are now in the Tang Dynasty, this rule cannot be lost, right?
"Master Qin, do you want an IOU and interest?" Wei Zheng immediately exclaimed.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Qin Wenyuan changed immediately. He felt that Qin Wenyuan was like a profiteer at this moment.
"Ahem, Mr. Qin, you see that we are so familiar with each other, why don't you just forget about the IOU and the interest?"
Wei Zheng laughed dryly and said nonchalantly: "Mr. Qin, what you lent is the Tang Dynasty, the country. Your Majesty even awarded you a title before. Don't you still trust us?"
