Chapter 147: The formula is lost
Under Li Hao's wonderful control, the public opinion turmoil of the land reform quickly passed, and the remarks of those literati and scholars not only did not bring him trouble, but brought a large wave of prestige.
"Damn Li Hao, is he a cockroach? So tenacious! ”
In a mansion under the name of the Wang family in Chang'an, Wang Qingyuan swept the refreshments on the table to the ground.
This turmoil was designed and initiated by Wang Qingyuan, and he originally wanted to use this controversy to make Li Hao tired of coping with it, and he didn't have the strength to deal with other tricks. Unexpectedly, in the face of the accusations of the literati, he responded so calmly, as if he had been prepared.
At this moment, not only did the money of those literati go down the drain, but Wang Qingyuan's status in the hearts of his own scholars and disciples also suffered a heavy blow. If you don't get back to a city quickly, I am afraid that there will be a lot less help in competing for the position of the head of the family in the future.
After thinking about it, Wang Qingyuan gritted his teeth fiercely: "For today's plan, I can only cut the mess soon!" Inform me, no matter what, you must get the food recipe of Lijiazhuang within three days, otherwise don't come back to see me! ”
"Yes!" His subordinates showed bitter faces, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they could only bear it.
Two days later, Zhen'an Wangfu.
"Lord Wang, as you expected, in the past two days, there have been a lot of fresh faces in our restaurants and restaurants, and they are all asking about recipes openly and secretly! According to the investigation, they are all from the Wang family! ”
The little second brother that Li Hao trusted the most said, his tone was full of admiration. I heard that King Zhen'an was clever, and now when I see it, it really lives up to its name.
"Well, anything else?" Li Hao slept on the recliner, and asked lazily while enjoying this Wan'er massage.
"And that Wu Gongzi, he said that the funds have been prepared and he wants to cooperate with us!"
"Humph!" Li Hao sneered: "It's finally time to come!" Remember what you told you before, do what you planned, and remember not to get out of the way! ”
"Yes!" Xiao Er answered in a deep voice and left the palace quickly.
"Wan'er, go and invite Wu Gongzi, the show is about to begin!"
At noon, a banquet was held in the palace of the king of Zhen'an, and Li Hao and Wu Gongzi drank at the same table, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.
In the face of Li Hao's warm hospitality, Wu Gongzi was a little flattered, and he kept saying good things in his mouth, almost praising Li Hao to the sky.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Hao's face turned red and seemed to be a little drunk.
Wu Gongzi didn't dare to drink more, but he was quite sober, he seized the opportunity and asked the attendants to carry out two large boxes: "Lord, this is three thousand taels of silver." It's a little bit of sincerity on my part, and I hope to accept it. ”
Li Hao glanced at it with a confused look in his eyes, and smiled: "What is Wu Gongzi doing?" This king is an honest man and never accepts gifts. ”
"The prince is joking, isn't he? Didn't we talk about going into the drink business last time? This is the villain's deposit. ”
"Liquor business? Oh, you said that! Rest assured, the two of us hit it off at first sight, how can a family talk to each other? You don't need a deposit, wait for you to go back to Qinghe to open up the relationship, come to me for as many drinks as you want, and when you make money, we will divide it fifty-fifty, why do you need a deposit! ”
Li Hao burped and said heroically.
When Wu Gongzi saw him like this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The old man said that it was really good, and the business should be discussed at the wine table. No matter how shrewd a person is, after two glasses of wine, he is also a brother in the four seas.
No, Li Hao, who was actuarial a few days ago, refuses to even accept the deposit now.
With a plan in his heart, Wu Gongzi immediately picked up a glass of wine: "The prince is heroic, it is my villain's heart, I will punish myself with a cup!" ”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and poured down half a glass of wine.
Then the conversation changed: "It's just that Chang'an and Qinghe are far away, and I'm afraid that there will be a difference on the road, which will affect the income." If the prince can trust me and dare to ask me to give me the recipe for winemaking, I will return to Qinghe and make wine according to the recipe, so as to save the cost of transportation, isn't it a beautiful thing? ”
"Hey, Brother Wu, didn't I say it before? The recipe is confidential, how can I give it to you casually! ”
Li Hao turned his head to look at Wu Gongzi, although there was still nine points of drunkenness in his eyes, he was also a little more aggressive.
Wu Gongzi was shocked in his heart, and immediately changed his words: "It's me who is abrupt, and I still hope for Wang Ye Haihan." ”
"Humph!" Li Hao chuckled lightly, and casually took out a blank piece of paper from his arms: "I really didn't expect that this piece of broken paper is worth three thousand taels of silver, and there is a skill that is really extraordinary, Brother Wu, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, especially a talent like you, Lord Wang, naturally it will be worth a fortune as soon as you make a move!"
Wu Gongzi said flattering words, but his eyes were staring straight at the blank paper. Listening to Li Hao's tone, what is written on this piece of paper is the recipe for brewing. I really didn't expect that he would carry such an important thing with him.
"Prestige! Let's not talk about that, keep drinking! ”
Li Hao was praised by Wu Gongzi with a spring breeze on his face, slapped the white paper on the table, picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it again. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got together, he got drunk and fell on the table with a pop.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Gongzi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly pounced on it and pretended to care, but in fact, he quietly rubbed the piece of paper in the palm of his hand.
Wan'er, who had been waiting outside the door, hurriedly ran in.
She smiled bitterly: "Recently, Chang'an City has been full of rumors, and the prince doesn't care about it on the surface, but he must feel uncomfortable in his heart." Seeing you happy today, I couldn't help but eat two more glasses of wine, and I hope Wu Gongzi will forgive me for my neglect! ”
Wu Gongzi hurriedly got up: "Miss Wan'er, where is this, I and the prince hit it off at first sight, I just hate that I can't help him solve problems, where do you dare to think more!" ”
Wan'er gave him a blessing: "I'll take the prince back to the room to rest first, and if I have a chance in the future, I will invite Wu Gongzi to drink!" ”
"It's easy to talk about it, I won't bother, and I'll go. This silver ......"
"The prince has already said that he will not accept the deposit, and I don't dare to accept it as a maid, otherwise he will be blamed when he wakes up, and ask Wu Gongzi to take it back."
"That's all there is to it! Miss Wan'er takes good care of the prince, and if there is a chance in the future, I will visit the door! ”
Wu Gongzi was ecstatic in his heart, he thought that he would have to spend a lot of money to buy the brewing formula, but now he got it without using a penny, this is simply a great achievement, and in front of Cui Qinghe in the future, he will definitely be the first celebrity!
Thinking of his future in the future, he couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly left the palace with the silver.
After he left, Li Hao, who was originally drunk, sat up slowly, and drank the wine in his hand.
He's a modern man, what hasn't he drunk? Two bottles of two pots want to pour him down? It's a fantasy.
At this time, the general manager of the commercial street rushed into the palace in a hurry, knelt in front of Li Hao with a pop, and cried out with tears in his eyes: "Lord Wang! The old man is ashamed of your cultivation, and the old man is guilty! Our recipes have been stolen! ”
Faced with this scene, Li Hao was not panicked, he and Wan'er looked at each other and smiled.
Wan'er poured a full wine for Li Hao: "Congratulations to the young master, the Wang family and the Cui family have entered the game!" ”
The old manager still had tears on his face, and looked at the two of them with a confused expression, not understanding what they were talking about.
Li Hao waved his hand and shouted to the manager: "I already knew about this matter, I don't blame you." Merely...... You may have to suffer a little grievance, please bear with it! ”
