Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao misunderstood, the prince accounts for 70%."
Xiao Ye blinked: "What about me?"
Xu Qing scratched his head: "Your Majesty didn't say..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ye couldn't help but widen his eyes. Does that mean he has to work for his family?
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye's dejected look and couldn't help but comfort him: "Brother Xiao, be more open-minded. No matter how much money the prince earns now, it will eventually be yours in the future."
Xiao Ye said angrily: "Brothers are still settling accounts!"
Xu Qing said: "But you are not brothers... How about... you go ask the prince and ask him to give you some?"
When Xiao Ye heard this, he immediately shook his head. He didn't want to copy the poems he had just copied: "This... forget it, I think the money earned by the bookstore is enough for me to spend."
It is impossible to ask, unless Xiao Ye thinks that there are too few poems copied...
Xu Qing can understand Xiao Ye's mood very well. After all, when Xu Qing arrived at the Su family, he agreed to be his son-in-law. Now he is a cook, and the stingy Su County Magistrate never pays him...
Now, the wise king also wants his... uh... rebellious son to work for nothing, and does not want to pay him. How similar are the situations between the two?
The difference is that... the money earned by the Xian Wang will be handed over to Xiao Ye in the end, but Xu Qing knows that it is unlikely that his cheap father-in-law will give the money he saved to himself...
Last time Xu Qing tricked King Xian into brewing spirits and it took half a month anyway. Now that we are cooperating with King Xian, we must try to make the time closer to this half month.
Otherwise it would be easy to expose the secret...
But... this is not very reliable. After all, the distillation equipment will not give Xu Qing face.
So Xu Qing thought of an excellent way, and it would not be noticed.
We don’t buy raw wine, we brew it ourselves!
Taking into account the brewing time and distillation time, it's almost half a month, and it's a bit longer.
It was perfect. Xu Qing praised his wit.
The equipment for brewing wine is still being prepared, so Xu Qing still has a lot of free time.
As for the wine-making equipment, have you prepared it? Xu Qing plans to train Xiao Ye and train him. Xu Qing will have free time from now on.
In short, Xu Qing can let others do the work, and he will never do it himself.
Su Mansion
Magistrate Su walked into the kitchen and looked at Xu Qing cooking something in front of the fire. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Didn't he just have dinner?
Didn't he have enough to eat?
So Magistrate Su coughed and asked, "What are you cooking? Why do I still smell a sweet smell? Give me a taste."
Xu Qing said without looking back: "No, this is for the lady."
Magistrate Su was stunned and said: "Qian'er? Is she hungry?"
Although Magistrate Su was unhappy with the boy's increasingly smooth calls, his daughter's body was more important after all.
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It's just some abdominal pain. Brown sugar ginger water can relieve it."
When County Magistrate Su heard this, he immediately became anxious and said, "Why does Qian'er have abdominal pain when she is fine?! What happened to her?! Do you want me to call in a doctor?"
Xu Qing said: "Sir, don't make a fuss. Women have a few days every month. You said you are still experienced..."
Magistrate Su suddenly realized after hearing this: "This..."
Then, Su County Magistrate suddenly stared at Xu Qing: "Wait a minute, when is Qian'er's month, how do you know?! Do you still know how to relieve it?!"
Xu Qing poured the boiled brown sugar ginger water into a bowl and looked at Magistrate Su: "You don't even know what a woman should drink at this time, and you are here... I didn't even come here and you knew..."
Magistrate Su asked curiously: "How do you, a young boy, know that brown sugar and ginger boiled in water can relieve pain?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "It's a long story. My father was a doctor back then, and he gave my mother..."
County Magistrate Su slapped the table: "You kid, don't fool me. Lao Xu is a head catcher, and his pension is paid by his own people! Pay it back to the doctor..."
Damn, I spilled the beans...revealed what happened in my previous life.
Xu Qing, who realized his mistake, quickly added: "Actually, my grandfather..."
"He's also a head catcher!"
"He has read medical books."
"Your grandpa doesn't know a word of Chinese characters, and he still reads medical books... Tsk..."
Xu Qing looked at Magistrate Su blankly. Is he a magistrate or a county lieutenant? He is checking the household registration?! He knows exactly where he comes from?!
County Magistrate Su looked at Xu Qing with disdain in his eyes: "You said you, your father and your grandfather were both head catchers, how come you are still a catcher in your generation?! This is simply an embarrassment to your old Xu family!"
Ever since his daughter married this guy, Magistrate Su went to the county government office to check the files. He found out everything about Xu Qing's origins.
Three generations of the whole family are here to catch the fast one...
Xu Qing waved his hand: "Don't say that, sir, if my father knew that I, a young policeman, married the daughter of the county magistrate's family, my father would be happy to live."
Now it was County Magistrate Su’s turn to look down...
Xu Qing picked up the bowl on the side and said, "Sir, please excuse me. The soup is ready. I have to deliver it to my wife."
Seeing Xu Qing walking outside, Su County Magistrate was furious behind Xu Qing: "You bastard! You are not allowed to call Qian'er Madam in front of me in the future! Did you hear that? No!"
Suddenly, Magistrate Su felt something was wrong. How did he know when Qian'er was in pain? He had never answered this question! Moreover, where did he learn this soup?
Damn brat!
Xu Qing brought the bowl into the yard and placed it on the stone table. Su Qian was still looking at the script that Xu Qing sent out today.
Xu Qing said: "Drink the sugar water first and watch it slowly."
Su Qian shook her head and said calmly, "I'm almost finished reading. I'll drink later."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It is late autumn at this time. It will get cold too quickly. If it gets cold, it will have no effect."
Seeing that Su Qian was still unmoved, Xu Qing snatched the manuscript paper from Su Qian's hand.
The manuscript paper was taken away from Su Qian's hand, and she looked at Xu Qing with some displeasure: "You!"
Xu Qing pushed the bowl towards Su Qian: "Be obedient and drink quickly, or I will leave the manuscript in the shop tomorrow and not bring it back."
Once upon a time, Xu Qing was still submissive to Su Qian. After arriving at Su's house for only a few days, Su Qian felt like she was going to be suppressed by him.
Su Qian felt a little funny in her heart, but it still didn't show on her face.
Su Qian finally argued: "Then I want to watch and drink at the same time."
Xu Qing nodded, sat down next to Su Qian, held the manuscript in his hand and held it upright in front of Su Qian, saying: "I'll hold it for you, drink quickly."
