Bean sprouts are sold at the price of mutton, which is enough to make dozens of times the profit, which is an absolute windfall profit, according to the later Marx, when the profit reaches 300 percent, then the capitalists will trample on everything in the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And Chang'an City is a huge city with a population of one million, there are many nobles and officials, as long as the bean sprouts are recognized step by step, selling bean sprouts can definitely obtain huge benefits, in front of the interests of anyone will be tempted, after learning that the price of bean sprouts is comparable to mutton, many people have started to think.

There are people who inquire about the identity of the people who sell bean sprouts, and there are also ways to find out how to produce bean sprouts, and of course, there are many people who are doing everything possible to develop their own bean sprouts.

The bean sprouts appeared for the first time at the palace banquet, and the bean sprouts offered were Li An, so the bean sprouts that appeared next to the market were naturally inseparable from Li An.

Although Li An's official position is only the fifth grade, he has made more meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and he has been received by the emperor many times, so he can be regarded as having a relatively hard background identity, and those nobles in the capital who covet bean sprouts naturally dare not provoke at will.

And the method of raw bean sprouts is only known to a few people in Li An's mansion, and these people all stay in Li An and Li Kunxiong's mansion honestly and don't go out at all. Those servants who pushed the bean sprouts to the West Market didn't know the method of raw bean sprouts at all, so naturally they couldn't find out.

In this way, if you want to get the method of raw bean sprouts, you have to develop your own way, but although raw bean sprouts are simple, they are not easy to succeed, and they need to be explored for a long time.

Many nobles and merchants spent many days of work and wasted a lot of beans, but they never succeeded in producing sprouts.

Of course, there are also some people who use warm water to soak bean sprouts and successfully make the beans sprout, but they face the tricky situation of rotten beans smelling, in short, none of them go smoothly.

Li Kunxiong has been making a lot of money, while the nobles and merchants in the capital can only watch that the opportunity to make money is in front of them, and they have no choice.

"Father, the weather is too cold, this sprout really can't be born!"

In An Lushan's temporary residence, An Qingzong looked at the mung beans that had been soaked and said helplessly.

"Fart, if you can't give birth in the winter, how did Ang Lee's kid do it, what he can do, why can't we do it?"

An Lushan lost face at the palace banquet, but Li An received continuous rewards from the emperor at the banquet, which made him very unhappy, so he held his breath and must give birth to bean sprouts.

"Father, we have tried many methods, this bean sprout just can't be born, by the way, if it really doesn't work, we will send someone to sneak into Ang Lee's mansion and arrest the maid who is responsible for giving birth to bean sprouts."

An Qingzong thought of a bad move.

An Lushan frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, this is too risky, this is the capital, not Yingzhou, you have been in the capital for a year, why don't you have a memory, what if you are discovered?" ”

"Yes, father, the boy just has to find a way."

An Qingzong's face was unhappy, he thought of all the ways he could think of, but the result was very unsatisfactory, except for being rude, he really had no way at all.

"Jie Shuai, my subordinates have something important to report."

Yan Zhuang hurriedly ran in.

An Lushan waved his hand and asked An Qingzong to leave.

An Qingzong, who returned to his room, felt too embarrassed, and he couldn't even do such a trivial thing that his father explained, but he had tried his best to give birth to bean sprouts, and the people in the house were all trying to find a way, but he wasted hundreds of golden mung beans and soybeans, but he still couldn't give birth to bean sprouts smoothly, which made him very helpless.

"No matter, since you can't be rude, it's okay to send someone to Li An's mansion to take a look!" Maybe you can find the secret? ’

An Qingzong had already made up his mind, and immediately found two skilled subordinates and asked them to go to Li An's mansion to find out.

The day after tomorrow is about to get married, Ang Lee's mood is quite excited, these **** have been busy preparing, sending wedding cards, preparing wine and food, etc., which is very cumbersome and complicated, fortunately there is Zhao Liu, the housekeeper, otherwise, Ang Li really called every day not to call the earth ineffective.

That night, Li Ang dismissed all the craftsmen in the mansion and paid them enough wages to go home for the New Year, and stored all the rocking chairs in Kunxiong and Feiyu's homes to make room for the banquet.

Considering that there are many people who come to the wedding, in addition to eating and drinking, going to the toilet is also inevitable, and if the traditional toilet method is used, it will be too dirty, so Ang Lee temporarily asked the craftsman to build a temporary modern toilet.

The toilet is divided into two parts, men and women, and there are all small cubicles inside, similar to the squatting toilets of later generations.

This is actually the public toilet of later generations, as long as the wedding is over, this temporary toilet will be demolished, after all, such a large toilet, in the mansion is too unsightly.

The big wedding is coming, Fei Yu and Er Niu are busy helping themselves, while Kunxiong is busy making money, and he has cramps when he counts the money.

Lying on the rocking chair in the backyard, Li An, Fei Yu, and Er Niu were staring blankly at the stars in the sky, these days, they have not been idle, naturally they are very tired, lying on the rocking chair at this time, it is called a comfortable.

"Feiyu, your eldest brother is married, you should hurry up!"

Zhang Erniu whispered.

"Erniu, are you two years older than my eldest brother? You're not in a hurry to get married, why am I in a hurry! ”

"That's what I said, I'm in my twenties, and it's time to get married, yes, after the general's wedding, I'll find a mother-in-law in the capital."

Zhang Erniu made up his mind.

"Okay, Brother Erniu, if you find a daughter-in-law, I, Li Feiyu, will immediately find one, and besides, I want to find a beautiful ******."

Li Feiyu looked forward to it.

Li An smiled and looked at the two: "If you can get married earlier, I will be relieved, but it's getting late today, let's rest first!" We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Okay, we'll be at the eldest brother's house today, haha!"

"Shhh

Ang Lee heard a strange sound and told the two of them not to move.

"Big brother, what's the situation?"

Li An lowered his voice and said, "There is the sound of metal hooks hitting the wall." ”

"Big brother, your mansion is guarded by more than ten soldiers, who is so bold."

Li An smiled: "Since the other party dares to come, he is naturally more courageous." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, quietly got up from their rocking chairs, and hid behind a large pillar, vigilantly watching the movement around them.

"Rustling ......"

Soon, the sound of climbing the wall sounded, and then a black head emerged from the wall, and then, one of them appeared.

The two black heads nodded to each other, climbed onto the wall, and jumped into Ang Lee's mansion.

"Someone, stop."

The three guards happened to pass by, spotted the man in black who had jumped into the mansion, and immediately rushed over.

The two men in black glanced at each other and wanted to escape, but there was no chance, Li An threw out the two copper coins in his hand, hitting the calves of the two men in black, causing them to fall to the ground.

"Grab it."

Li An appeared with Fei Yu and Er Niu and found that the two men in black were not carrying weapons, which is why they found out that the guards had escaped.

The fact that the two men were not armed seems to indicate that they did not sneak in here to commit murder, but for other purposes.

Three guards put knives around the necks of the two men in black, and the other three guards who rushed to hear the news tied them up with ropes.

"Say it! Who sent you, and for what purpose? ”

Li An asked sternly.

"Don't say it, well, I know you won't say it, tie them to the pillars and prepare firewood."

Ang Lee is ready to be tortured.

The purpose of using wood fire is not to burn them, but to use smoke to make these hard-mouthed guys speak, after all, the taste of being smoked is very unpleasant.

"General, are you really going to burn them? The law of the Tang Dynasty prohibits the use of lynching. ”

One of the guards whispered for instructions.

"Ben wasn't going to burn them, let alone let them get any flesh wounds, just to smoke them and let them experience the taste of smoke."

Once the fire was lit, Ang Lee extinguished the flame and let the smoke peek into the men's nose and mouth.

"Ahem, ahem, ......"

The taste of being smoked was naturally very uncomfortable, and the two men in black all coughed violently, and after a while, even more tears flowed out.

"Do you say it or don't you say it?"

Ang Lee asked again.

The two of them were so uncomfortable with the smoke that they were completely speechless, so they had to nod vigorously.

Li An asked the guards to take the firewood farther away and asked, "Say it!" Who sent you and why did you come? ”

"It was the eldest prince who asked us to come, saying that it was the secret of letting us find raw bean sprouts."

One of them said helplessly.

"It turned out that he came for the bean sprouts, no wonder he didn't bring weapons, by the way, who is the eldest prince and what is his name?"

"Our eldest prince is the eldest prince of Pinglu Jiedu, An Qingzong."

One person had no choice but to tell the truth.

Li An was not afraid of An Qingzong, and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be An Qingzong's bastard boy!" Did he really just ask you to come looking for the secret to raw sprouts? ”

"It's true, we wouldn't dare lie to you."

The man in black, who was scared by the smoke, said.

"Big brother, this An Qingzong is actually so interested in raw bean sprouts, and he actually took such a big risk for such a thing, but he really has him."

Li Feiyu felt very strange, although the bean sprouts were huge profits, An Qingzong didn't seem to be short of money, how could he take such a big risk for the secret of raw bean sprouts?

"General, An Qingzong's father is An Lushan, will this matter have anything to do with him?"

Zhang Erniu said.

Li An looked at several guards and said, "Escort the two of them to Wuhoupu, escort them to the county government early tomorrow morning, and hand them over to the county order to be dealt with according to law." ”

"Yes, General."

Hearing the order, the three guards escorted the two black-clothed men to the nearby Wuhou Shop.

Li An looked at the other three guards and said softly: "You have all heard what happened just now, you must be more vigilant in the future, and don't let the young people take advantage of it." ”

"Yes, General."

Li An continued: "Also, what happened today, you have to publicize it, and it is best to let the entire Chang'an City know about it, but don't talk about the smoking, understand?" ”

"Yes, General, I'll understand."

Three guards are on the way.

"Big brother, do you believe what these two guys say is true?"

Li An nodded and said: "Of course, the two of them entered my mansion without weapons, which is basically certain, they are not here to assassinate, and besides, in the capital to assassinate the imperial court officials, An Qingzong does not have the courage to do so, in addition, what else can make An Qingzong tempted in my mansion, at present, I am afraid that there is really only the method of raw bean sprouts." ”

"What the eldest brother said is also true, except for the secret of raw bean sprouts, there seems to be nothing that can make An Qingzong tempted, but if An Qingzong knew that the eldest brother still has rocking chairs, fireplaces, and flush toilets at home, he probably wouldn't think like this, haha!"

Li An smiled: "This An Qingzong is really unlucky, he was caught by us as soon as he sent someone over, and he is really stupid enough, he can actually come up with such a bad idea, it's not that the eldest brother boasts, even if they find the place where the sprouts are raw, these two fools will definitely not be able to discover the secret of the sprouts, without the guidance of the eldest brother, no one can learn it at a glance." ”

"Yes, yes, how smart the eldest brother is, the best boy in Datang!"

"Okay, for the sake of your ability to speak, next time the eldest brother has a chance to make money, I will definitely leave it to you."

"Okay, big brother, can I remember? Next time you have something good, you must come to me first. ”

"Hahaha! Feel relieved. ”

Li An's side was elated, but in An Qingzong's residence, it was a different scene, and the two people sent out never came back, which made An Qingzong very anxious.

In fact, after being sent out, An Qingzong regretted it, he was angry when he gave the order, and always thought about how to get raw bean sprouts as soon as possible to please his father An Lushan, but after calming down, he suddenly thought that once the person sent out was caught by Li An, the consequences might be very bad.

At this moment, the people sent out have not come back, and it is certain that they will be caught, and An Qingzong hopes that his people will be caught by the officers and soldiers patrolling, not Li An, and the crime of committing the night ban can be big or small, but as long as he spends some money, he can be fished out, the most important thing is that he himself will not be implicated, and once these two people are caught by Li An, everything will be difficult to say.

After a night of anxiety, the two subordinates finally had news, but it was not the news of a smooth return, but the news that they had been pressed into the county office.

At the same time, the official An Qingzong instructed his subordinates to infiltrate Li An's mansion with the intention of stealing the method of raw bean sprouts, which also spread quickly in the capital, and as the spread deepened, various bizarre versions were derived.

An Lushan, as An Qingzong's father, was naturally dragged into various versions by the gossipy people of the Tang Dynasty, and even Li An shook his head again and again when he heard these bizarre versions, and admired the brains of the people of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
