Chapter 47 Forty-Seventh Count: The Conditions of Cooperation of the Eldest Sun Wuji
Everyone sat down politely to each other, and their own servants brought tea.
Sitting on the official hat chair specially built by Li Zhonghua, simple and atmospheric, the key is that it is very comfortable to sit on.
"What kind of furniture is this, it's quite comfortable to sit on, where did you buy it?" Qin Shoudao asked curiously.
There are no chairs and stools to sit on in the Tang Dynasty at this time, although a small number of chairs and stools have been introduced from the Hu people in the Western Regions, but they are all simple shapes, but they are not called chairs, but are called Hu stools, and the larger ones are called Hu beds.
Even so, only a very small number of aristocratic families will appear on the bed and stool, and more people sit on the ground, and on formal occasions, they need to kneel.
What's more, the workmanship is so exquisite, and the official hat chair is so comfortable to sit on, this is a style that will only appear in the Song Taizu three hundred years later.
"Your cousin drew the figure himself and found someone to make it, and he said it was more comfortable to sit like this."
Luo Feiyan explained with a smile, her heart was full of pride and pride in the man she liked.
"My cousin is really going to enjoy it, it's much more comfortable than sitting on a Hu stool and a Hu bed."
Hu people's stool and Hu bed are quite single and simple furniture, where is there such furniture as an official hat chair, which is beautiful and practical?
When I was tired, I returned to the house, sat in the official hat chair, relaxed my whole body, leaned on the back of the chair, put my hands on the armrests, took a sip of tea from time to time, and then put the teacup on the coffee table, how relaxed and comfortable!
Even if you are entertaining guests at home, it is very practical.
"It smells so good! What kind of tea is this? Qin Shoudao opened the lid of the teacup, smelled a fresh and elegant fragrance of tea, and looked at the tea leaves in the cup that he had never seen before.
As the little grandfather of Hu Guogong's mansion, what good tea has not been drunk? But I have never drunk this kind of tea, let alone seen such a way to make tea.
"Some of the tea leaves you roast yourself are not good teas, try it to see if it suits your taste."
After Li Zhonghua finished speaking, he picked up the teacup by himself, opened the lid of the cup, smelled the fragrance of tea, blew it lightly with his mouth, and then used the teacup lid to put aside the tea leaves floating on it, took a small sip, and showed a satisfied and comfortable expression.
Qin Shoudao is also a smart person, he followed Li Zhonghua in a similar way, and after taking a sip of tea, he pursed his lips, and then took another sip of tea.
"Uncle cousin, this tea doesn't seem to have any taste, but it gives people a feeling of fragrant lips and teeth, fresh and natural, with a long aftertaste, and most importantly, it seems to quench your thirst." Qin Shoudao said very happily.
"It seems that you have a lot of fate with this tea! If you like it, ask your cousin to give you some and take it home to taste slowly. ”
Li Zhonghua was a little surprised! The first time I drank this tea, I was able to taste so many Taos, which is not simple!
It's like a person who is used to spicy food, and suddenly asks him to eat a light dish, there will always be a process that needs to be adapted.
It's like the tea that Datang people generally like to drink, the taste is too strong, salty and spicy, and it is difficult for Li Zhonghua to adapt to it.
Because he really couldn't stand the heavy taste of Datang's way of drinking tea, as soon as he settled down in Shudi, he found a tea ball, tried to fry some tea, and kept it for himself.
There is a lot of tea in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zhonghua is also in the countryside, he has seen private fried tea with his own eyes, but he has also learned a lot, I dare not say how good the fried tea is, at least I think it's okay to drink it.
"Then you're welcome, thank you cousin, thank you cousin." Qin Shoudao said happily.
After chatting about some homely things, Li Zhonghua felt that Qin Shoudao was a very good person, and he spoke very straightforwardly, so he told him that he was going to open a restaurant, and asked him if he was interested in joining in.
Qin Shoudao is not unfamiliar with distilled liquor, not only because he has drunk it, but also because he knows the huge role of highly distilled liquor in the army, but he didn't think that the person who brewed this kind of liquor would be his cousin.
Of course, Qin Shoudao would not refuse this kind of business that was sure to make money, and it was his own relatives, so there was no reason to refuse.
The Qin family is also an emerging aristocracy, and there is no shortage of money.
After the negotiation was completed, it was just about to start the meal, and when I came to the dining room, the wine and food had already been set up on the boxy table of the Eight Immortals. On the four sides of the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a bench in each place, which is called the Eight Immortal Stool.
After Qin Shoudao sat down, he still felt novel, and felt more and more in his heart that his cousin was definitely not as simple as an ordinary businessman.
Looking at the dishes on the table again, they are also fragrant, the key is that there are many dishes, I have never seen them, and the cooking method seems to be different from ordinary people.
You don't have to try it, it should be very tasty.
Sure enough, when Qin Shoudao sandwiched a chopsticks of emerald green, unknown dishes into his mouth, a delicacy that she had never tasted before came out of her taste buds, making her almost swallow her tongue.
"Cousin, what's the name of this dish? It's so delicious! After Qin Shoudao swallowed the food in his mouth, he asked with a look of enjoyment.
"What your cousin said it was called, I don't know the rest, you try these dishes again, your cousin made them, I have never seen them before, try to see if they are delicious." Luo Feiyan shook her head and said.
Recently, a lot of vegetables have grown in the back garden, all of which were planted by Li Zhonghua, and no one knows what the names of those vegetables are except him.
"Oily lettuce! I've never heard of this dish before, let alone seen it, it's so delicious. ”
After Qin Shoudao finished speaking, he was not polite, and tasted all the dishes on the table that he had never eaten.
"These dishes are all very delicious, no wonder my cousin will want to open a big restaurant, with a unique new wine in his hand, and now there are these unique tastes, unheard of, unseen dishes, open a big restaurant, it is difficult to make money! Shoudao is completely convinced. After tasting the dishes on the table, Qin Shoudao sighed and said.
"Now it's still in the research and cultivation stage, the number is limited, today is your coming, usually we are reluctant to eat, this is to be kept as seeds, next year a large area of planting, if all eaten up, it will be extinct in the future." Li Zhonghua said with a smile.
After Qin Shoudao heard this, he was very happy in his heart, it seems that this cousin still attaches great importance to his cousin's relatives, presumably his cousin is very favored by his cousin.
Although the family relationship with my cousin is not very close, I am still very happy to see that my cousin's life in my husband's house is good and is valued by my cousin, and I feel very faced.
Cheng Biting Jin came forward, and Wang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not refuse his proposal, and agreed to use that house to occupy a share of 10%.
However, he didn't ask directly, but just let his favorite Queen Sun Rose have full authority to deal with it, and said that the building will be Queen Sun Rose's dowry in the future.
As for Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, he had already learned about Li Zhonghua from Li Shimin, how could he refuse such a good thing!
It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji made very excessive requirements, wanting to obtain Li Zhonghua's authorization to produce distilled spirits, which Li Zhonghua could not accept.
In fact, Li Zhonghua originally didn't want to have anything to do with Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao, after all, he did not deal with His Royal Highness the crown prince Li Chengqian, and Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao, was a staunch supporter of the crown prince Li Chengqian.
Moreover, Li Zhonghua does not have a good impression of the eldest grandson Wuji, thinking that he is too powerful, and sometimes he does everything to eliminate dissidents.
If there was no eldest grandson Wuji, perhaps Li Ke, the king of Shu, would be the next emperor, and history might be different.
Just to prevent Li Ke, the king of Shu, from ascending to the throne, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, who is an uncle, does not want his own nephew to take the throne.
But after the eldest grandson Wuji has ascended the throne and established a firm foundation, he will kill all of them and unjustly kill Li Ke, the king of Shu, which is very excessive.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Li Zhonghua does not like the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart.
But now that the eldest grandson Wuji has put forward the conditions for cooperation, it is no wonder that Li Zhonghua wants to leave him alone and find someone else to cooperate.
