Verse 142: Hide it from the emperor

The emperor was shocked in his heart, but asked quietly on his face: "Aiqing is so happy, I don't know how much money you bought this egg?"

The minister was about to answer, but suddenly found that the eunuchs on the emperor's side were all looking at him with unkind faces, and hurriedly replied: "The minister's eggs are from the chickens raised at home, not bought." ”

The emperor didn't ask any more questions, and the minister was so shocked that a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"This ......" Su He heard it, it seemed that it was really reasonable, and he couldn't help but think of an interesting story he had heard in Shenzhou.

When the emperor was not a prince in the palace, he once ate a bowl of noodles in front of the palace, and that noodles were only ten copper coins.

As soon as the emperor thought about it, he called the head of the imperial dining room and told the head of the case that the dinner in the evening would be simple and eat a bowl of hot noodle soup. As soon as I heard the case, yo, what's wrong with the emperor today, how did he remember to change his words, but it's not good to refuse directly.

The head of the case rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, there is a lack of hot noodle soup in the imperial dining room, and I can't do it for a while, I hope the emperor will be gracious." "In fact, it is very easy to make hot noodle soup, first reconcile the noodles and wake up, then boil the pot, pour the soup, then put white meat, spinach, and finally roll the strips, yes, it doesn't take much effort.

But the emperor doesn't know, he knows that hot noodle soup is delicious, how to make it, and what to use, he doesn't understand it at all. The emperor said: "Okay, good, whatever you add is all handled by the case." How much does it cost?"

Hearing that the emperor agreed, the head of the case was happy: "To return to the emperor, it will take about 10,000 taels of silver." ”

When the emperor heard this, what is it? 10,000 taels of silver alone to eat hot noodle soup! I will not be able to finish it for the rest of my life, so he asked: "How can I spend this 10,000 taels of silver?"

The head of the case said: "Back to the emperor, the servants used this 10,000 taels of silver to hire two craftsmen to build a stove for the emperor in the imperial dining room that specializes in making hot noodle soup, and then customize the guy who makes hot noodle soup." There are a pair of octagonal dragon pure gold pots for cooking noodles, a group dragon pure gold pot for noodles, four sets of one-color official kiln porcelain for noodles, and two sets of various application utensils. After the guy is ready, choose ten quintals of white noodles, ten fried chickens and stuffed ducks, ten catties of shrimp, elbows, and sea cucumbers, and five catties of shark fin, bird's nest, monkey's head, and white fungus. In addition, 10 celebrity chefs who specialize in hot noodle soup are hired in both the red and white cases......"

The case was about to go on, but was stopped by the emperor: "Come on, come on, don't bother with this." There is a small noodle shop outside the palace that specializes in hot noodle soup, and when I was a prince, I used to eat there for ten copper coins a bowl. Go now, bring me two bowls, go, go. ”

When I heard this, I broke out in a cold sweat and thought: It's bad, I didn't expect the emperor to think of this stubble. The mouth replied: "The slave obeys, but the ......" body does not move.

When the emperor heard this, why did he say "but"? He listened to the case and continued: "It is getting late now, and all the shops of all sizes have closed their doors. I hope that the emperor will be gracious, and tomorrow the slave will definitely give the decree. ”

The emperor looked up at the sky outside the palace and thought to himself: What time is it, and the shop will be closed? I had to say, "You can go and see it first." ”

An hour later, when he came back from the case, he was stunned and said that the store was closed, and the emperor had nothing to do. After taking charge of the case, he returned to the imperial dining room, muttering in his heart, thinking to himself, tomorrow the emperor must eat hot noodle soup, or not to go? Not to go? The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I simply didn't do it, and all the noodle shops outside the palace were sealed and driven away.

Thinking of this, he immediately took action and asked people to completely close all the noodle shops near the palace. After the morning of the next day, the emperor really thought about the hot noodle soup in his mind, and asked the head of the case to buy it, and the head of the case sent someone out to buy noodles with the intention of pretending to be a fool, and after a while, he came back and informed: "Back to the emperor, the noodle restaurant that the emperor said has not sold noodles for a long time." And it's not just their family, the minions ran all over the palace and didn't see anyone selling noodles. ”

The emperor wondered: "Why is this?"

"The cost of selling noodles was too expensive, and the people couldn't continue to operate, so they went out of business. The head of the case replied to the emperor with the words he had already thought of.

When the emperor heard what he said, he was silent in his heart for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he had no choice but to sigh and no longer delve into it, but he kept it in his heart. Later, when I left the palace, I sat on the chariot and looked at it, and sure enough, there were no noodle shops around the palace, not only that, but even other restaurants, where the chariot passed, I never saw it again.

As soon as he thought of this, Su He also knew that what Uncle Shuo said was true, so he said: "Since Uncle Shuo has also investigated the ins and outs of this matter, is there a good way?"

Uncle Shuo sighed and said, "It's difficult! This Ximen family is intertwined in Nanhua Kingdom, and its forces are intricate, it seems that it is not so easy for our Su family to clear up their grievances." ”

Su He nodded and said, "That's true, but should we just give up like this?" Su He obviously had an unwilling look in his eyes when he said this.

Uncle Shuo gritted his teeth and said: "With such a deep hatred, how can you say that you will give up and give up, that is too spineless." ”

"Okay, what Uncle Shuo says, I'll do it, I'll listen to Uncle Shuo. Su He replied dryly.

"Hey, there are no spirit stones now! Uncle Shuo and I have a lot of ideas and plans, but they can't be implemented because of lack of funds. Uncle Shuo sighed and said helplessly.

Su He's eyes rolled and said, "Uncle Shuo doesn't need to worry about this, you can leave the matter of raising funds to me to figure it out." ”

"You, what can you do?" Uncle Shuo looked at Su He suspiciously.

Su He smiled slightly and said: "Before I practiced, I used to do business with others, and I knew about this business, so Uncle Shuo just rest assured." ”

With Su He's joining, Uncle Shuo's funding problem was solved, and he was in a good mood, and he reunited with Su He after a long absence, knowing that Su He was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, his mood was opened for a while, and the bottleneck of his long-term cultivation was also opened at once, since he stepped into the realm of transforming gods from the Yuanying realm.

Uncle Shuo was overjoyed at this time, the life that had been slowly depleting was rejuvenated, and the whole person became much younger, even Su He couldn't help but be happy for him. Unexpectedly, Uncle Shuo's breakthrough, taking this opportunity, Su He also took a step forward and advanced from the Jindan stage to the Yuan infant stage.

Both of them have made great progress in their cultivation, and there are more things that can be done this time, and of course there are more places to spend money, so Su He had no choice but to postpone his cultivation and spend all his time on business.
