Qin Huaiyu scooped a spoonful of chili pepper from the bottle with a delicate silver spoon, first put it under his nose and smelled it, feeling that the taste was a little rushing. Just now he learned from Captain Chen that the chili sauce can be eaten directly, or it can be cooked as a seasoning, everything depends on personal preferences, but Captain Chen finally warned them with a somewhat weird smile that they must be careful when eating it for the first time, otherwise they may feel a little uncomfortable, and it was his words that made Qin Huaiyu and the three of them hesitate a little.

"Cut~, Lao Tzu has rolled over in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, are you still afraid of a little chili pepper?" Cheng Huailiang is worthy of being Cheng Yanjin's son, and he shows his fearless attitude wherever he goes. I saw him snatch the spoon from Qin Huaiyu's hand, and then stuff it into his mouth without even smelling it.

But before Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu could ask him how it tasted, they saw Cheng Huailiang's big bearded face suddenly look like a layer of red paint, and his eyeballs also protruded outward, looking so scary.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Cheng Huailiang suddenly open his mouth and spit out the chili pepper he had eaten, and then shouted: "Water!" Give me water! ”

There was no water for the time being, but there was still a lot of juice left from the juice they sat down and drank just now, but Cheng Huailiang pounced on him, grabbed it and poured it into his stomach, and waited until he drank all three cups of juice cleanly, and then he breathed a sigh, but at this time, Cheng Huailiang's face was full of tears and snot, and he looked indescribably embarrassed.

"Hiss ~ Huh ~ Huh ~ Sizzle......" The sweetness of the juice does neutralize a lot of spiciness, but Huailiang still feels that his mouth and tongue are numb, and he keeps inhaling the cool air. so that you can make your mouth feel better.

It was only then that Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu reacted, looked at the embarrassed Cheng Huailiang, and then looked at the chili sauce in their hands. An incredible expression appeared on the faces of both of them, no matter how Cheng Huailiang came out, he also came out of the sea of swords and fires. How could you be so out of shape for such a little chili sauce?

Although they were puzzled, it also made Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu feel a little curious, plus Cheng Huailiang's appearance was estimated to be unable to speak for the time being, so the two of them each dug a little with a spoon, and then stretched out their tongues and licked it, but they felt that the tip of their tongues was hot, as if they had been burned by fire, but then they felt that in this kind of heat, there was an indescribable comfort. It's like drinking, it's spicy but enjoyable.

"Good...... It's spicy! It was only at this time that Cheng Huailiang regained his language ability, and said two words with his tongue wide, and then he stretched out his big hand to wipe the snot and tears off his face, and then seemed to taste the feeling in his mouth, and then he laughed and said, "But spicy is spicy." But the spicy is so enjoyable, it's even more enjoyable than drinking a jar of Wuwang drunk that has been cellared for more than ten years in one go, and it's really a good thing! ”

"Huailiang, although this chili pepper is a little unaccustomed to eating at first. But after a while, it makes people sweat all over the body, and it feels like the pores of the whole body are opened, which is indescribably comfortable. And I'm having a big appetite now, and it seems that it's also the effect of this chili. No wonder Rokuro kept talking about it in the first place! At this time, Li Yexu said with a smile while tasting the chili sauce in small sips. Although he was already sweating profusely, he didn't want to stop at all.

"Well, yes, this thing is really appetizing, there is still a while before noon, I am actually a little hungry, why don't we just eat barbecue, and then dip it in chili sauce, the taste must be very special!" Qin Huaiyu also opened his mouth to propose at this time.

"This method is good, let's invite Captain Chen and them too, and I also have a few bottles of the Five Kings drunk from the year, and I will also take them out and drink them with everyone today!" Cheng Huailiang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he also said excitedly.

Li Yexu is also an anxious child, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a barbecue grill, their luxury passenger ship is very particular about food, and also takes into account the various needs of guests, so after a while, the barbecue grill was pushed to the bow, and Captain Chen and the young Master Liu were also invited, and there were several important people on the ship, after all, the drinking picture is a lively, and it is boring if there are fewer people.

The barbecue flavor with chili sauce is indeed delicious, especially the spicy flavor that is different from the dogwood sauce, which makes people have an appetite, and even covers up the limelight of the five kings drunk for a while. In the end, even Mo Qing and a few other children looked greedy, and secretly dipped some chili sauce and tasted it, but the tragedy of her father Cheng Huailiang was repeated.

Later, Qin Huaiyu, who was thinking, also sent a bottle to Princess Qinghe and other female dependents, but as a result, although several women were a little uncomfortable at first, but later they were also addicted to eating, if it weren't for the fact that a bottle of chili sauce was too little, they also wanted to invite Gao Yang and other female relatives on other boats to come over and taste it.

The speed of the steamship was very fast, and it could have reached Taiwan directly from Dengzhou, but because Li Ke was in Shanghai, and Cheng Huailiang and they were all friends of Li Ke at first, and later after Li Ke's introduction, they became friends with Li Ke, and now they have not seen each other for many years, so when they pass through Shanghai, they have to meet Li Ke no matter what.

It is precisely because of this that Cheng Huailiang and their fleet turned a corner in the middle and went to Shanghai to dock first, and Li Ke in Shanghai was naturally very excited when he saw Cheng Huailiang's brothers, and he drank and chatted until dawn the next day, but few people were awake at that time.

Li Ke was also drunk and unconscious, and he didn't wake up until dusk, but when he just woke up, he was told by his subordinates that Qin Huaiyu wanted to see him in the afternoon, but he didn't wake up at that time, and the other party left, but when he left, Qin Huaiyu also confessed that he must inform him when Li Ke wakes up.

Li Ke was a little strange when he heard the news, and immediately ordered someone to invite Qin Huaiyu to the study. Just a short time after Li Ke arrived in the study, Qin Huaiyu was also led here by his subordinates. It's just that after Qin Huaiyu saw Li Ke, he looked at him with a smile and didn't rush to speak.

"Huaiyu, what are you staring at me for?" Li Ke was furious when he was stared at by the other party, and he always felt that Qin Huaiyu's gaze could see through his heart.

And Qin Huaiyu smiled and said: "San Lang, you and I have known each other since childhood, others can't see that you have something on your mind, but you can't hide it from me, although you were happy at last night's banquet, but there was always a little loneliness in your eyes, with my understanding of you, you must have something on your mind!" ”

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Li Ke was stunned at first, and then a burst of emotion surged in his heart, among his group of friends, Qin Huaiyu's temperament was the closest to him, which also led to the best relationship between the two, and now he could see at a glance that he had something in his heart, and he also came to inquire about it, how could he not be moved?

"It seems that Huaiyu, you are really a roundworm in my stomach, and I can't hide anything from you." Li Ke shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Tell me, what is it about you that you can't forget the occasion like yesterday?" Qin Huaiyu smiled and asked, as a brother, Qin Huaiyu naturally hopes to solve problems for Li Ke, even if he can't solve this matter, but at least he can be a listener and let Li Ke talk about the troubles in his heart, so that his heart will be more comfortable.

I saw Li Ke sigh and said: "Actually, when it comes to this matter, I am also asking for trouble, Liulang is my own brother, he has laid such a big foundation overseas alone, and there are also seven and eight brothers, they also went to Tianzhu, and now the situation has been opened, if nothing else, the annexation of Tianzhu is also a foregone conclusion." ”

Li Ke said this, with a helpless wry smile on his face and continued: "But look at me again, I am their brother, but nothing has been accomplished, although Shanghai is well built, but this idea was originally helped by Liulang, but now I can't expand the territory like the three younger brothers, do you say that my brother has failed to do it?" ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Qin Huaiyu finally showed a clear smile, it turned out that Li Ke's heart turned out to be this. But this is not surprising, after all, Li Ke was originally the best prince of the Tang Dynasty, but now he has been surpassed by the achievements of several younger brothers, how can the arrogant Li Ke bear it? Although it is not jealous, it is certainly inevitable to feel depressed.

"Saburo, since you have such ambitions, why don't you discuss it with Rokuro, I think he will definitely give you a good advice." Qin Huaiyu could only give such a suggestion in the end for Li Ke's unwillingness to be surpassed by his younger brother, after all, no matter what aspect he was, I am afraid that only Li Ke could be able to do it now.

However, after Li Ke heard Qin Huaiyu's suggestion, he said with some embarrassment on his face: "Huaiyu, Liulang is my younger brother, and in the process of building Shanghai City, he has already given me a lot of help, not to mention that I don't know how to open my mouth to Liulang for this kind of thing, I can't say that I, who is an elder brother, is jealous of the achievements of my younger brothers, so I also want to go overseas to develop my own foundation, right?" ”

"Huh? That's just as well. Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and he also felt that there was some truth, but then he smiled again, "But it doesn't matter, you are embarrassed to say it, then I will help you to say it, anyway, you and Liulang are brothers, he can help King Jiang and King Yue, won't he help you, your own brother?" So just leave your business up to me! ”

"No, no, Huaiyu, don't mention it, I'm ...... I really don't want to bother Rokuro anymore! Li Ke hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this. To be honest, he mainly couldn't save face to mention this matter to Li Su, of course, if Qin Huaiyu could help him mention it, Li Su would definitely spare no effort to help him, Li Ke also knew this, and he was also very moved, but he still felt that he couldn't get over it, so he refused again and again.

"Haha, you don't care about this matter, I know how to mention it to Rokuro!" As the best brother, how could Qin Huaiyu not know what Li Ke was thinking in his heart? So he laughed and finished speaking, then turned around and left the study, not giving Li Ke a chance to refuse again. (To be continued......)
