Chapter 81: Spicy Death
When Mo Yu saw Lin Yuan at a glance, he didn't react suddenly, but it was only a moment before he had completely reacted.
remembered that this was Lin Ruifeng's son Lin Yuan, and when Lin Yuan greeted him first, Mo Yu also greeted him with a smile: "Brother Lin Yuan, I have been busy with official business recently, so I said it was very late, and I just came back from there."
Because this time was the prosperous time, and there were more people around, Mo Yu did not say that he had just returned from the City Lord's Mansion.
Then Lin Yuan smiled: "Mo ...... Brother Yu is really a great opportunity, it is really a great luck in the thirty-nine cities, I don't know if Brother Mo Yu has anything else, I want to invite Brother Mo Yu to drink two cups. ”
Mo Yu thought about it for a while, it shouldn't be a big deal, and he didn't have dinner at this time, so what about having dinner.
Mo Yu didn't have too much excuse, and then nodded: "Since Brother Lin Yuan invited, then Mo Yu is really respectful and might as well obey his fate."
"Brother Mo Yu is refreshing!" Then Lin Yuan ordered a person behind him, and then that person ran out quickly, and continued to say to Mo Yu, "Then I'll lead the way in front?" ”
"Brother Lin Yuan, please."
The two people are side by side on the street, in fact, the intersection of the two is not too much, and the topic of conversation on the street is not particularly easy to develop.
However, it was Lin Yuan who opened his mouth first: "I believe that Brother Mo Yu knows about the recent merchant party."
Mo Yu smiled, thinking that it was still going to be on this topic, and then nodded: "I know a little bit about it, I know a little bit about it, I don't know why Brother Lin Yuan asked this question."
Lin Yuan also pretended to be indifferent: "Actually, just ask a little, there is nothing, I believe that Brother Mo Yu will also participate in such a grand event, it is also the creation of my thirty-nine cities, I believe that Brother Mo Yu will also make a strong record."
Mo Yu shook his head again and again: "How can I take credit for the holding of such a grand event, it is all handled by Elder Duan and two Elder Fu, Elder Duan's interests in the merchants of the Thirty-Nine Cities have been declining day by day recently, and for the officials and merchants, this is not a particularly good thing, and the officials and businessmen can only prosper the country and govern the world by relying on each other, all of which are indispensable."
Lin Yuan smiled: "What Brother Mo Yu said is right, if we small businessmen and small households have no official support, we will not be able to survive, so it is also appropriate to give some benefits to the official family."
This sentence made Mo Yu pause, Mo Yu felt that this could be regarded as some dissatisfaction with the official family? I didn't know what to think, and sure enough, Mo Yu didn't look at this Lin Yuan as shy as he was when he first met.
Now he is quite good at speaking, and he is not so shy, he seems to be more decent when he speaks, and pointing deeply at the side finger caught Mo Yu off guard.
Mo Yu is also very unhappy in his heart, and he is not the big part of my collection, besides, you are voluntary, what are you complaining about me doing.
Then Mo Yu still maintained a calm appearance: "This is also true, it is difficult for officials to live without business, and it is difficult for merchants to survive without officials, this is interdependent, so Elder Duan said that in order to consolidate the status of the merchants of the thirty-nine cities, so as not to let these interests fall into the hands of other cities, so he said that he did such a propaganda activity, in fact, there was no idea of Mo Yu, Mo Yu was just an errand runner, and he really didn't dare to be it."
Lin Yuan continued: "Brother Mo Yu is really modest, there is a tavern in front of us that we have capital injection, why don't we go there to eat again?"
What Mo Yu could say at this time, he also nodded in agreement: "I would like to listen to Brother Lin Yuan's arrangement, how Brother Lin Yuan decides."
Mo Yu suddenly felt that this meal was not eaten for nothing, and it was likely to have a price, but this price may not be so big, but there is no free lunch in the world, and Mo Yu still felt this deeply.
After walking in, Mo Yu thought that he would choose a relatively quiet private room, but Lin Yuan took Mo Yu to a corner, but this corner is the second floor, the perspective is quite good, and there are windows on both sides, and it is quite comfortable to look downstairs.
"I heard that Brother Mo Yu likes to eat hot pot, and yesterday I specially let some restaurants serve this dish, but some things are not hidden, and the sales are still relatively slow. Lin Yuan laughed and joked.
Mo Yu knew that he was likely to eat his favorite hot pot this time, and he was quite happy, but after hearing Lin Yuan's statement, he was also a little unconvinced, are the people in the merchant stupid? Is there really something that can't be sold here?
In fact, don't look at the intersection of businesses and the flow of personnel, in fact, for the most part, the flow of people at the bottom is still relatively slow, and even in a solidified stage for a long time.
Therefore, if you only rely on the needs of some merchants, you will not get such high-cost things, and these high-cost things can't be sold for much money, and there is no need.
But Mo Yu didn't care about those, he should have been very happy to be able to eat such something today, as expected, and then there was a big hot pot at this time.
And because the ventilation is relatively good, it doesn't seem particularly hot, and then there is a small mobile cart with a lot of dishes.
I have to say that these dishes are all Mo Yu's favorites, and Mo Yu will not be particularly polite and put the meat in first, although there is still a gap between this thing and those authentic hot pots.
But this place can eat these things, Mo Yu is no less happy than returning home.
I also have more gratitude to Lin Yuan in my heart, although what I said just now is a bit headless and brainless, but being able to let myself eat the delicious food of my hometown in a foreign land is already a great kindness.
Lin Yuan here also seemed very interested, and he also kept stirring with chopsticks, and then put some things he liked, or the classic mandarin duck pot in his hometown.
Mo Yu still likes some super spicy food, these super spicy ones can only be regarded as a medium spicy for his hometown, although he can't stand the super spicy taste when he is in his hometown, but he has completely become a person who can eat spicy food here.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, is a little conservative, he still eats the clear soup pot, and if he doesn't feel particularly spicy, he puts a little more on it.
Lin Yuan was also full of praise: "Brother Mo Yu, I never wanted to eat anything before, even if my father wanted me to taste it when I went to some north, I was unwilling, but since I ate it, I found that it is indeed delicious, and I like it today."
If this sentence is said, Mo Yu still believes that some of his taverns serve the dish of hot pot, after all, Shao Dong likes to make it even if he doesn't make money, at least he has to do it well.
Mo Yu was naturally very happy when he heard such a statement, and he believed that no matter who praised the things in his hometown, he would not mention too much defense.
So he laughed and said to Lin Yuan: "If I go back one day, and Brother Lin Yuan can go to the north to find me, I believe that Lin Yuan will be able to taste the authentic local hot pot."
Lin Yuan also laughed: "That's natural, our small temple in Thirty-Nine Cities can't let go of Brother Mo Yu's big Buddha, I believe that one day Brother Mo Yu will go to a higher level, and when Mo Yu returns to his own place of dominance, Lin Yuan will definitely visit and taste the authentic things that Brother Mo Yu said."
Mo Yu actually couldn't figure out whether this sentence was a mockery or a sincere one, but Mo Yu didn't care about it for the time being, so he just regarded it as a sincere one.
While putting a huge piece of mutton in his mouth, he scalded his mouth and still spoke: "I just hope that when Brother Lin Yuan goes over there, he will have to practice more to the limit of being able to tolerate spicy, but there is no pot for clear soup over there."
Of course, this sentence is a joke by Mo Yu, everywhere there are people who can't eat spicy food, and everywhere there are people who are different from most of the amorous.
It's just that this sentence is the closest sentence that Mo Yu feels can say to Lin Yuan, if you say it deeply, you feel hypocritical, and if you say it shallowly, you don't think it means much.
Lin Yuan was also relieved after hearing such remarks, and the laughter spread throughout the entire second floor, and the people on the entire second floor did not dare to look this way, after Mo Yu took a look at this reaction, he also knew that this young owner was not a good stubble.
The people in the restaurant began to guess who the person who had dinner with this young owner was, because some people from the Chamber of Commerce, whether they were in charge or descendants, seemed to have seen more or less people eating here, but Mo Yu was a new face, so it also caused many people in the restaurant to speculate.
The two of them began to continue eating, and here Mo Yu wanted Lin Yuan to grow some of this spicy thing, but before he could eat two bites, Lin Yuan couldn't stand the spicy stuff, so he could only quickly ask the people behind him to bring some ice water over and relieve the spicy taste in his mouth.
It's just that for those who really can't eat spicy, putting water in their mouths and then spitting it out can't really solve that spicy taste.
The spicy taste seems to stick to the tongue, and when you put ice water in your mouth, it seems to be able to suppress it a little, but when you spit out the ice water, the spicy taste gradually returns to it and occupies the main palate.
It can only be digested slowly, spicy sensation is originally a pain sensation, whether it is for those who can eat spicy food or those who can't eat spicy food, it is a pain sensation, but some people feel particularly refreshing, and some people feel particularly unhappy.
After you get used to eating this kind of thing, you will become addicted, and this is the most attractive part of this spicy taste, it hurts at first, and then you start to taste it slowly, and then it becomes a habit, and then it becomes the point of not eating unpleasantly.
However, the sweetness that southerners like to eat is a real taste, which is why if the chili pepper is rubbed into the eyes, the eyes will hurt, but the sugar water will not hurt the eyes.
Spicy should be fundamentally different from others.
Mo Yu came up with an idea: "Brother Lin Yuan is really embarrassed, I suggest that you don't drink a little vinegar and synthesize this spicy taste, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate."
Mo Yu was also a little guilty when he saw this Lin Yuan who was so spicy that he was about to cry, he originally attracted him to eat this thing, but when people were eating comfortably, they gave others such a slap in the face.
No matter who it is, you should feel embarrassed, let alone Mo Yu.
Sometimes Mo Yu can only give enough ideas.
Here Lin Yuan accepted some suggestions, and directly asked people to take the vinegar, and drank a few big sips, and when he drank it, Mo Yu felt that the root of his teeth was a little sour.
Because although people like Mo Yu can eat spicy food, they feel that the roots of their teeth are very sour just thinking about it.
So he quickly turned his face away and didn't look at this thing, but looking at Lin Yuan's appearance, there shouldn't be anything too unusual, it seems that he can be jealous, to be precise, he can really be jealous.
Then Lin Yuan looked much better, and he didn't seem to be able to spit out all the fire just now.
Here Mo Yu once again showed his apology: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I still underestimated your ability to eat spicy, all blame me, all blame me, I pay for this meal."
Lin Yuan was already much better, and after hearing Mo Yu's words, he hurriedly waved his hand, and then said to Mo Yu with a smile: "He originally said that he didn't spend money, where did he get anything to pay, he blamed me just now, he ate so much in one bite without any psychological preparation, it seems that I really have to practice in the future, if I can't eat spicy food with my father in the north, then I won't be laughed at by other merchants, today I want to thank Brother Mo Yu for letting me see my own strength."
I have to say that Lin Yuan's temper is still good, Mo Yu doesn't know if this is because he is the city lord or if his temper is so good, it seems that Lin Yuan still has nothing to blame.
Then Lin Yuan changed the subject: "I don't know if Brother Mo Yu is quite satisfied with those calligraphy and paintings?"
When Mo Yu heard this place, he also called Lin Yuan bold, and he actually said those things in such a public place, but Mo Yu was not particularly afraid, this kind of thing was originally supported by someone, and he was afraid of this kind of thing, the more he was afraid of something, the more he came, so there was no need to be afraid.
Mo Yu answered Lin Yuan's question, and he was also quite bold: "Satisfied, very satisfied, I forgot that Brother Lin Yuan didn't mention this matter, I really want to thank Brother Lin Yuan today, I really like the few calligraphy and paintings sent by Brother Lin Yuan that day, especially the last painting, Mo Yu has already collected it."
Lin Yuan seemed to have returned to his original state, and then said with a smile: "Brother Mo Yu likes it, if you still like it, you can go to the residence below, and you can take away whatever you like."
Mo Yu was really a little moved by this sentence, and Mo Yu really wanted to take a peek at that place to see if there was anything that was still free and liked.
It's just that Mo Yu also knows that this kind of thing can't be done too much, nor can it be done too deeply, once it reaches a limit, it is easy to splash disaster on himself.
However, Mo Yu is still a little excited, and the exciting place is, of course, the value of the collection of those calligraphy and paintings, but this time Mo Yu decided to take a look, but it was too late today, of course not today, and when I went to see it, I took the money.
Mo Yu thought to herself, it doesn't matter if I pay a little price.
Then Mo Yu was also polite: "It's too late today, so I won't disturb Brother Lin Yuan's rest, if Brother Lin Yuan is free, it's okay for me to take a look tomorrow, but I must say it first, I'm buying, I'll take someone over, estimate the value of this calligraphy and painting, if Brother Lin Yuan can accept it, I'll buy it, if I can't accept it, then the business will not be benevolent, I believe that Brother Lin Yuan, as a businessman, should also understand."
It seems to be polite, but if it is too specific, it seems to be a real thing, here Lin Yuan has some way to tell, but it doesn't hurt to agree to such a thing, it is naturally the best to go, and there is no big loss if you don't go.
So here Lin Yuan agreed: "Of course you can, there is really nothing too big to do in Xia, there is nothing to do all day long, Brother Mo Yu can accompany you in Xia, you are naturally quite happy in Xia, why not give those useless calligraphy and paintings to Brother Mo Yu?"
Then the topic was stopped, and the two chatted about other topics while eating, and they also talked to the point of Tiannan and Haibei.
After some cursory understanding, it was found that some official information is really incorrect, such as the scope of this involvement, the scope refers to a geographical scope.
This is north to the north of the city, south to the island country, are the business scope of the Lin family cloth merchants, the scope of this map can be described as very large, almost the entire north and south are transparent.
It seems that there is a helmsman who makes decisions about some commercial activities in the local city, and that is still very valuable, although these commercial activities are likely to be wiped out by the authorities.
Take advantage of the span of this geographical range, and then use the span of this information range to catch it all in one go, if you use it properly, it is a better thing.
Therefore, Mo Yu is particularly skeptical about whether such an act will occur now, but at this time, it should be able to let people in three or four nearby cities know, and the discussion of information should be able to involve seven or eight cities.
Mo Yu's information here is not particularly transparent, so it should be a special closure for a city lord, it can be said that it is just speculation, as for whether there is such a situation, of course Mo Yu knows.
