Cui Wenqing snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is definitely right for us to keep a low profile, and it is natural to give all the merits to the imperial court, after all, no matter what, the two of us are leading the royal court!" ”

Hearing that he had now completely considered it from the position of the Zhe family, Zhe Zhao was greatly pleased, and said with a smile: "The husband can think like this, it is really the blessing of my Zhe family, I understand all of this, but I don't know why the husband just accepted the piglets sent by the peasants?" ”

"It's already a hundred or ten pounds, and it's still a pig! Cui Wenqing smiled and shook his hand, and then said solemnly, "Lady, the policy of animal husbandry is what we began to implement in March, and the farmers have been breeding for more than half a year, so to speak, Hedong Bank is all doing money-losing transactions during this period, and this animal husbandry alone has made the entire banking industry unable to make ends meet. ”

Zhi Zhao knows that animal husbandry is the most important part of the implementation of many policies in the four northern states, and it is also related to the most vital interests of countless farmers.

All in all, animal husbandry is about the big picture.

Cui Wenqing's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't have a serious look: "Didn't those people send ten pigs just now?" I want to take this opportunity to send the pig to Luoyang and ask the official family to taste it, if the official family can agree with our pork, then the sales of pork will be much smoother in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhi Zhao's color suddenly changed, and he was obviously caught off guard by Cui Wenqing's whimsy, and said in a deep voice: "Husband, from ancient times to the present, mutton is the main source of meat for the Chinese nation, and pork is completely unelegant, so there are princes and princes who eat mutton, and the poor people eat pork, and pork is listed as cheap meat, do you want the official family to eat pork?" This is an insult to the emperor's prestige, you don't want to live anymore, do you? ”

Cui Wenqing shook his hand and smiled: "Lady, you can't say that, my old Cui's pork is very different from those pork in the ordinary world, and it doesn't have that weird taste at all, don't believe we can taste it tomorrow?" ”

Zhi Zhao sneered: "Even if there is no strange taste, pork is also cheap meat, it is impossible for the official family to eat it personally, in my opinion, even if the pigs you raise are slaughtered in the future, the objects sold should be those poor people who can't afford to eat mutton, so it can be done." ”

"Hmph, I, Cui Wenqing, still don't believe in this evil anymore!" Cui Wenqing slapped his thigh suddenly, and said in an accentuated tone, "Why is pork cheap meat, and that mutton is delicious?" Since the four states of the Northland have been dominated by animal husbandry, then I, Cui Wenqing, will let pork be sold in the world in a dignified manner, and in the future, whether it is a prince or a general, or a pawn, he will be proud of eating pork, and pork will become the mainstream meat in the world! ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and he was dumbfounded when he heard it.

She wanted to argue with Cui Wenqing that his ideas were a little unrealistic, but when the words came to her mouth, her heart softened, and she gently persuaded her with the soft words that only a wife can have: "Husband, I understand your intentions, but it is for the sake of the four northern states, but in terms of facts, it is difficult to implement." ”

"If it's not difficult, then there's no passion to do it." Cui Wenqing smiled faintly, his eyes flashed with wisdom, "I have figured it out just now, if you want the official family to recognize my pork, then you have to start with the closest person around him, fortunately, the two closest people have a good relationship with me, if the pork can be recognized by them, maybe it will also arouse the interest of the official family to taste pork!" ”

"Oh? The closest two? Who also? Zhi Zhao was a little puzzled, and he couldn't understand what Cui Wenqing meant for a while.

Cui Wenqing smiled thief, pointed to the direction of the mansion and whispered, "Isn't there only one in our mansion?" ”

Zhi Zhao showed a look of sudden realization, nodded lightly and smiled, and said seriously after laughing: "It's also difficult to let her eat pork!" ”

Cui Wenqing gently hooked his fingers, signaled Zhi Zhao to approach, and then said with a smile: "However, I believe that things are man-made, tomorrow, Uncle Cui will cook pork himself!" ”

When these words landed, Rao was calm, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

On November 22, it is called light snow in the traditional 24 solar terms, and as said, there are also sparse snowflakes in Fugu County today.

After morning, Zhi Zhao invited Chen Ningmo into Chaoyang Building.

The master and apprentice first chatted about official affairs involving the four states of the Northland, and finally talked about the recent events in the imperial court, and when the topic was over, Chen Ningmo noticed something, and asked with a smile: "By the way, why don't you see Wen Qing today?" ”

Speaking of Cui Wenqing, a trace of unnaturalness obviously flashed on Zhi Zhao's delicate face, but she concealed it very well, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Teacher, husband, he is busy now." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ningmo was a little strange: "Now that the matter of pacification has been completed, he doesn't stay in the mansion to accompany you, what else is there to do?" ”

"Teacher, my husband is not busy with business." Zhe Zhao stepped forward and grabbed Chen Ningmo's arm, and explained with a smile, "Teacher, you have been here in the four states of the Northland for so long, some time ago, I was busy with official business, and my husband and I didn't have a good meal with you, and it happened that the people outside Fugu County sent some local products yesterday, so today we and my wife set up a family banquet here, and invite the teacher to come over." ”

Chen Ningmo smiled and said: "You husband and wife really have a heart, speaking of which, I still bother you for the teacher, since this is the case, where did Wen Qing go?" ”

Zhi Zhao knew that he had to answer this, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Don't hide it from your teacher...... The husband is personally ...... Uh, cooking! ”

"What?!" Chen Ningmo was so shocked that he stood up from the back of the case, almost couldn't believe his ears, and said in a lost voice, "Cook yourself?" The dignified court official actually went to the kitchen to cook in person? ”

Zhi Zhao said with some astringency: "Yes, my husband said that you have to cook by yourself to show your respect for your teacher." ”

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Chen Ningmo was not moved at all by Cui Wenqing's actions, but was angry and anxious, "The ancient sages have a saying: A gentleman is far away from cooking, and everything with flesh and blood can also be practiced. It is said that no flesh is to be killed with your own hands. Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty wrote in "New Books. In the "Rites Chapter", it is even said: Therefore, the kitchen is far away, and the benevolence is also. The 'gentleman cooks' is advocated as a benevolent virtue, so as long as he is a scholar, he will not cook and cook himself. It's just that this Wenqing is a little ridiculous on weekdays, but I didn't expect to violate the etiquette system so much today, you, as the governor of the Zhenwu Army, are you still in his hands, you, you, are you confused? ! ”

Although he was a high-ranking official of the third grade, he was reprimanded by his teacher and aunt, and Zhi Zhao did not have the slightest temper, so he could only smile bitterly.

Chen Ningmo raised her eyebrows and asked coldly, "Where is Cui Wenqing now?" ”

"In the kitchen!" Zhi Zhao replied softly.

Chen Ningmo thought for a while, and said categorically: "Since this is the case, then I will personally go and invite him out!" ”
