Chapter 31: Getting down to business
Wang Mingxuan picked up a stack of slices of meat and stuffed it into his mouth with a chopstick, chewed it violently, then picked up the wine glass, drank it all, wiped a handful of wine beads stuck to his beard, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, for entertaining me with such a good thing." ”
Mei Renhou said: "Big brother, I have a donkey called it, which is a beloved thing. Someone offered a hundred taels of silver to buy it, and I was reluctant to buy it. Today, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for my eldest brother, and I will cut my love and kill it. ”
Wang Mingxuan was a little unconvinced: "A donkey is worth a hundred taels of silver?" My red rabbit rouge horse is not worth the price. ”
Mei Renhou said: "Donkeys are not the same as donkeys. Big brother, if you want to meet that donkey, you will like it too. The donkey is absolutely long, and it may not be found in a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is as black as charcoal, as oily as satin, and there is not a single miscellaneous hair. But the four hooves were white, as white as cotton, and they were called "Flying in the Snow." It's really one in a thousand, one in a thousand. It's better to walk on it, and it doesn't feel like you're on the back of a donkey, but like you're floating in the air on a cloud. One hundred and eighty miles away, half an hour's work will be there. ”
Wang Mingxuan's heart was shocked and looked at Mei Renhou.
Mei Renhou arched his hand at Wang Mingxuan: "Big brother, Qinglong Town is located in a remote area, with poor mountains and bad waters, and I really can't take out any good things for you." Besides, the eldest brother has an important official residence and lives in the county seat, what kind of things have he not eaten? The younger brother gives his love things, as a matter of course, just a little bit of heart. ”
Wang Mingxuan was a little moved. At first, he was still domineering, but at this moment he was humble and returned the salute with his fists: "My brother-in-law is so hospitable, and I, as a brother, deserve it." ”
Mei Renhou hurriedly shook his hand: "Big brother, don't say that." Qiu Meizi, a guest, often comes and harasses, so that the people are not happy. In the future, he still needs to rely on the prestige of the big brother to exterminate the bandits, and the younger brother is grateful. ”
Having said this, Wang Mingxuan completely understood Mei Renhou's intentions. The Mei family has been in business for three generations, and he already has some assets in his hands. Most of the shops in Qinglong Town are surnamed Mei, and the county has Mei's shop fronts. Not to mention that Mei Renhou is the leading figure in Qinglong Town, even the Mei family is one of the richest families in the county, otherwise the two families can get married.
Mei Renhou has people who can speak in the provincial capital. But the bandits didn't buy his account, and ate a big man like him. The Mei family's shop workshop has been robbed many times, but they can't catch a bandit
Especially the autumn girl, which made Mei Renhou very troubled.
Mei Renhou sandwiched a chopstick-headed money meat on Wang Mingxuan's small plate, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, do you know how money meat has the best cooking effect?" Wang Mingxuan's mouth was stuffed with meat and he shook his head.
"I really don't know?"
Wang Mingxuan swallowed the meat and said, "I really don't know." Brother-in-law, you tell us about it, let me see it for a long time. His excitement was at an all-time high.
Mei Renhou drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no special trick. First of all, a mare or a grass donkey should be brought in, and the donkey whip should be upright, and then the strange hand should be protruded, and the donkey should be slaughtered. When the donkey is not dead, cut off the donkey whip and immediately put it into the soup pot for the best effect. If you don't know the trick, just kill the donkey and take the whip, and put it in the soup pot for a long time, then there is no effect. ”
Wang Mingxuan was suspicious: "How does my brother-in-law know this trick?" ”
Mei Renhou replied, "One of my cousins is a butcher, and he also knows medical skills. He told me about it. That's how I cook today. ”
Hearing this, Wang Mingxuan was even more moved. He was red-faced and a little drunk after eating and drinking, and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, you relax, this time I must mention the head of Sister Qiu and be angry for you!" ”
Mei Renhou poured a glass of wine and handed it to Guo Huaiyong, who was sitting next to Wang Mingxuan, with both hands: "Brother Huaiyong, I salute you!" ”
In addition to Wang Mingxuan, the distinguished guests invited to today's banquet also include Guo Huaiyong, the leader of the fast hunt in the yamen. He sat on one side, and Wang Mingxuan's guard captain bolt just ate meat and drank wine, and never spoke.
He's an elf and knows when to speak and when not to speak. At this time, Mei Renhou toasted, and he hurriedly got up to catch the wine glass: "Master, the argument is your junior, you just call me Huaiyong." With that, he dried the glass of wine.
Wang Mingxuan said with a smile: "Huaiyong is only twenty years old, and he is still a doll in front of you. You call him 'brother' and don't kill him. Call your nephew. ”
Mei Renhou smiled: "Since both of you say so, then I will rely on the old and sell the old." Nephew, it's up to you from now on. ”
Guo Huaiyong stood up and gave a military salute to Mei Renhou: "Uncle Mei, Huaiyong must do his best to suppress the bandits!" ”
Mei Renhou punched his fist on the side and praised: "Huaiyong's momentum is enough for the bandits on the mountain to tremble." It's different, it's different! I also have a drink! ”
Wang Mingxuan patted Guo Huaiyong on the shoulder: "Huaiyong is my confidant and favorite general, his big knife team is my blade, and the pig iron lumps can be cut open!" "Laughing.
Everyone laughed alongside. Guo Huaiyong smiled reservedly, took Mei Renhou's toast and drank it all.
This table was eaten until the red sun set before the table was withdrawn.
