Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    [Thanks to book friend "¡ÚYun Tianqing¡Û" for the reward!  ] Qiao County, Feihe Tower, private room on the third floor.

    Hua Tuo grabbed an elbow with both hands, and while biting it, he said vaguely: "Aang, I'm not telling you, you're too polite! The food and drinks at Feihe Tower are really too expensive, and it's unjust for you to spend this money."  What are you doing with money?! I've been running a medical clinic in Qiao County for so long, and this is my second time back! It's too expensive!"

    Cao Ang raised his glass to him and said with a smile: "Sir, you're welcome. The last time you taught me Wu Qin Xi, you were considered half of my master. This time, I troubled you to help treat Lingshan's wounds. It was also very hard."  As your half-disciple, I should treat you to a meal!"

    Hua Tuo raised his wine glass, took a big sip of wine, and put some vegetables into his mouth. He smiled and said while eating: "Actually, I eat a lot of these meats and vegetables on weekdays, but I still feel like this  Feihelou¡¯s cooking has the purest taste! Especially this elbow, it has both color and flavor, is fat but not greasy, it¡¯s really fragrant!¡±

    ¡°Sir, since the food is delicious, let¡¯s use more of it.¡± Cao Ang smiled and clapped his hands, ¡°Waiter, here¡¯s another pot of elbow meat. If it¡¯s delicious, we¡¯ll come over to eat it in the future!¡±

    "Okay!" The waiter said loudly: "A bowl of elbow meat from the C-shaped seat on the third floor!"

    Cao Ang was a little curious and asked the waiter in a low voice: "Why is this seat C? We obviously want the upper class seats in the restaurant!"

    The waiter smiled apologetically and said, "To tell you the truth, seats A, B, and C are all premium seats in our store. However, seats A and B in our store were reserved yesterday. They are seats in our county.  Your Majesty is about to come here. Master, please speak in a lower voice. Behind the screen is Seat A. It would be inappropriate if your Majesty the County overhears some of your words."

    Xiao Yi, who was standing on the side, heard this and said loudly: "Do you think we have no power? We are"

    Cao Ang shook his head, "Xiao Yi, my second brother is also kind-hearted. Let's keep our voices down so as not to disturb others and cause trouble again."

    Cao Ang smiled and took out a small bunch of money from his arms, handed it to the second brother, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, second brother. You can take the money first. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, you can  Rich, remind me more.¡±

    The waiter in the shop was overjoyed and quickly put the bunch of money in his arms, bowed and said: "Thank you, Master, for the reward! Don't worry, Master, just speak softly and don't disturb others. If anything happens, I will give it to you in advance."  Let me say hello and let you prepare in advance. You eat first, and I will hurry up the elbow."

    The waiter smiled and gave a salute, then turned and left happily.  The small bunch of money just now amounted to five or six hundred pieces, which was enough for him to earn three or four days' wages.  Moreover, both the young master and the old man seemed to be foodies. They would inevitably come to Feihe Tower in the future. As long as he took good care of them, he would have an extra way to make money.

    After the waiter left, Xiao Yi said angrily: "Sir, as long as you reveal your identity, even the magistrate of Qiao County will give you some thin noodles!"

    "Xiao Yi, you have to be low-key!" Cao Ang said with a smile: "Anyway, the waiter is gone, sir, he is not an outsider. Come and try the dishes of Feihelou."

    Xiao Yi swallowed and spat, "It's wrong, I'm just a servant"

    "What's wrong?" Hua Tuo said with a smile: "Aang is right, try it quickly."

    Cao Ang had already taken a plate at this time, placed a large piece of elbow meat on it, and handed it to Xiao Yi.

    Xiao Yi took the plate, took a big bite, and widened his eyes: "My mother, how can it taste so delicious?!"

    Hua Tuo laughed loudly and said with a smile: "As long as you work diligently and be loyal to the master from now on, I believe Aang will definitely take you here again to try this signature dish!"

    Xiao Yi nodded repeatedly, eating meat with big mouthfuls without thinking about talking.

    At this time, the famous waiter ran over and said in a low voice: "Everyone, be careful when eating. I don't know why the seats in the restaurant are all full today. Many of them are people with rough faces. Maybe they drank too much."  There will be trouble. There are also many policemen who have changed into casual clothes and are eating on the second floor! I always feel that something is not right today. If you have nothing to do, you should eat early and go home!"

    Cao Ang smiled and nodded, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, second brother, for reminding us that we will eat honestly and not cause trouble. In fact, we haven't seen any big shots in Qiao County yet. We can meet them today, and we will have something to talk about in the future."

    The waiter understood it very well. In fact, meeting the county magistrate was his biggest asset when he returned to the village. Every time he returned to the village, he would talk about it for a long time to increase his worth.

    Soon, the waiter ran out, but he didn¡¯tQualified to lead the way, Cao Ang vaguely saw from the screen that the shopkeeper of Feihe Tower was personally walking in front, leading the way for Liu Quan and others.

    When everyone sits well, the shopkeeper immediately laughed and said, "Everyone, we will invite a new chef in Feihelou, which is very delicious with elbows, color and fragrance "

    Before the shopkeeper finished the introduction, Liu Quan said impatiently: "Okay, you don't have to wait here. Pick out the specialty dishes in your store and bring them all to me!"

    The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and trotted away.  Liu Quan then said to everyone: "The troublesome person is finally gone. Since I took office in Qiao County, I have eaten in all the restaurants and restaurants in Qiao County, and only the food at Feihe Tower is the best to my liking!"  Shopkeeper Lin, I wonder how many restaurants you have eaten at?"

    Shopkeeper Lin?  Cao Ang was stunned. Could it be that he was talking about Lin Le, who had been doing well recently?  Didn't Liu Quan and Lin Le compete with each other? How could they have a banquet together?

    Thinking of this, Cao Ang concentrated his attention and listened carefully.  Then I heard a relatively cheerful voice: "The rice I have eaten as a junior is not as salty as the food that the adults have eaten. Everything depends on the adults!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a very familiar voice saying: "Sir, our shopkeeper Lin is just a passer-by in our Qiao County. He can have such little achievements. Isn't this your consideration? In fact, we should have hosted a banquet long ago.  Sir, we feel really sorry for letting you treat us now!"

    Cao Ang was startled. This voice was very familiar. Who could it be?  He smiled apologetically at Hua Tuo, quietly walked to the screen, took a sneak peek over there, and was suddenly startled: Isn't this guy Cao Anmin? How did he get here?  Why are you so familiar with Lin Le, both inside and outside the conversation?  !

    Cao Ang was very surprised, and Liu Quan was also a little surprised. He rubbed his eyes a little exaggeratedly, and asked with a smile: "Isn't this the wise nephew of the Cao family? Why are you here?"

    Cao Anmin said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, it's not that you don't know that my father was framed by a traitor and is no longer in charge of the financial power of the government. The little monthly money is not enough for my expenses. No, I and I  Shopkeeper Lin hit it off right away, let¡¯s do some small business together!¡±

    "Small business?!" Liu Quan laughed, "Can nearly half of the private salt dealers in Qiao County be considered small businesses?! My dear nephew, I'm not talking about you as an uncle! In fact, these merchants are not in your position at all.  It should be taken care of! If you really want to do something, why not sell this share and become a clerk in my county government to familiarize yourself with political affairs!"

    Although Liu Quan¡¯s words meant to persuade Cao Anmin to give up and withdraw, he did also express concern for Cao Anmin.  Merchants have never been valued by everyone, and their status is relatively low.  Comparatively speaking, the clerk of the county government is a leisurely job, which can be regarded as decent.

    Cao Anmin bowed deeply to Liu Quan: "Thank you uncle for your love!"

    Before he could say his words of refusal, Liu Quan had already said with a smile: "As long as my nephew agrees, I will report to the county office at noon tomorrow and familiarize myself with the government affairs procedures. Next year, I will go to the county to fight for it and give you a  What do you think of Xiaolian¡¯s quota?¡±

    Liu Quan's move was also an impromptu move. For a long time, the Cao family in Qiao County had been isolated and independent. In addition, Cao Song, the patriarch of the Cao family, was quite powerful. When Liu Quan handled political affairs, he did not dare to infringe upon the Cao family.  The powerful interests at the head did not dare to question their decisions.  If Cao Anmin can be used to divide and disintegrate the Cao family, it will be worth paying for a filial piety quota.

    Cao Anmin was very moved when he heard the price that Liu Quan saw. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness. I will report to the county government tomorrow. Brother Lin should discuss this salt matter with his uncle!"  "

    After finishing speaking, he solemnly saluted, walked straight to the side, watched his ears, nose and heart, and stopped interfering.

    Lin Le has seen shameless people, but never such shameless people.  Before arriving, Cao Anmin also said that he would argue with Liu Quan for Lin Le's interests. For this reason, Cao Anmin even accepted the hundred ingots of gold sent by Lin Le!  But now, just for the sake of a filial and honest quota, Cao Anmin turned his back and refused to recognize anyone else. He really had no moral integrity!  Fortunately, the gold I gave you was not pure, otherwise I would have lost even more!

    Liu Quan was also a little stunned. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such shameless people.  No wonder Cao Song gave up on this grandson. If he were Cao Song, he would never make such a guy his legitimate son!

    Lin Le sighed softly and said to Liu Quan: "Sir, the common man is just a merchant, but I didn't expect that he would be so valued by you. Selling salt to others not only requires hard work, but also worries; selling salt to you not only feels safe, but also  This is reassuring! Sir, you tell me the rules and I will follow them!"

    "Good!" Liu Quan, regardless of his dignity, praised loudly: "Those who know the current affairs are the ones who know the current affairs."Junjie, since Shopkeeper Lin is so smart, I, Liu, will not be merciless. You do this business, I will provide you with the source of goods, and I will give you three of the sales profit!  You don¡¯t have to pay any business tax in the entire Qiao County. What do you think?  "

    Lin Le bowed down solemnly: "Lin is just following your lead!"
