Chapter 258
Li Xiao said that it was true that please eat seafood, and all the seafood on the table was there. From crabs to shrimp to big two-foot-long fish. Anyway, they were all caught from the sea, and there wasn't a single one on the ground.
There is no way around it, everything on the ground is expensive. In the food menu of the Liao army, pork has become the most valuable thing. However, it is difficult to eat during the New Year's Festival, and it takes a month or two to eat mutton. There is no way, there is really not enough food to eat. It's good that people can eat enough, and the rice bowls are clean after eating, so how can there be anything for the pigs to eat.
Xu Xianchun was very satisfied with this food, he came from the capital. It's hard to eat such fresh seafood on weekdays, and if you want to eat seafood in the capital, the nearest place is Tianjin Wei. On weekdays, I only care about being powerful in the capital, how can I have time to go to Tianjin Wei to eat seafood.
Huge flying crabs, October is officially the fattest time. Lift the lid, and it's full of orange plaster. It is soft and hard in the mouth, and the taste will make you swallow it all.
Li Xiao was very surprised, as a senior official of Jinyiwei, Xu Xianchun actually didn't know how to peel the skin and shrimp. The one-foot-long skin shrimp are all female. The first few verses had obvious three white lines, and Xu Xianchun didn't know how to eat this thing. But I'm embarrassed to ask, but this thing still knows how to twist off its head.
After twisting the head off, take the shrimp and bite them one by one. It is estimated that the skin is really hard to chew, so I have no choice but to spit it out. Li Xiao looked at him expectantly, how to eat this thing when it eats its tail. If you bite hard, it is estimated that this mouth will be pierced and pierced.
There are always good people, Ai Hu has a look. Immediately, a small servant came up and helped Lord Xu peel the skin and shrimp. The armor-like hard shell was lifted one by one, revealing the white, tender and delicate flesh inside.
"Brother Xu, let's get drunk today. Dry! Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and said very heroically.
"Huh! I know that brother, you are righteous and angry, and you have given the eldest brother this face. What I didn't say,! Xu Xianchun is even more heroic than Li Xiao, and Wuliangye will raise a glass and dry it.
"What a cup, it's not something to drink. Come on, change the big glass. Li Xiao was obviously drunk and ordered. Ai Husheng immediately beckoned someone to replace the two-dollar cup and changed it to a large cup of two and a half.
"Brother, this is what our buddies drink." Xu Xianchun was very happy and took a big bite of the shrimp in one hand.
"Lord Xu, villain Ai Husheng. You've seen it in the capital, and there was no villain to talk today. But in the capital, you saved the villain from the beggar gang's knife, and this life-saving grace villain will never be forgotten. You are an adult, and the villain has nothing to grow, so he only toasts the adult with this glass of water and wine. Please give me a face! ”
As soon as he changed to a large cup, Ai Husheng poured himself a cup of Wuliangye. In front of Xu Xianchun, he bowed very modestly.
"Steward Ai is polite, you are my brother's man. Can I stand idly by and watch when I suffer? Dry! Xu Xianchun saw that it was Ai Husheng, and he had to give this face.
Don't look at Xu Xianchun today, he didn't even sit down, but Xu Xianchun knows. This Ai Ye is the God of Wealth in Li Xiao's army, and he is in charge of all the things in the goods. On weekdays, there are many people who mix up the front door here in Ai Husheng, and they have to give everything to this face.
After a glass of wine in two halves, Xu Xianchun's face was immediately as red as a shrimp on the table.
The little guy who was waiting was also a wonderful person, helping Xu Xianchun pick up a huge flying crab. Scooped up a large spoonful of anointing with a spoon and put it on Xu Xianchun's plate. Then, without a trace, he helped Xu Xianchun pour the wine full.
"Brother, you don't know. This time, the death of the first emperor was too sudden, and a Taoist priest named Chen Xuanfeng came to Longhu Mountain. This Taoist priest has a very deep background, and I heard that Wang Tiqian recommended him to the first emperor. The death of the first emperor has a lot to do with this Taoist priest of Chen Xuanfeng.
The commander is ordering the cavalry to arrest this Chen Xuanfeng, guess what. This Taoist priest is gone, and there is no one alive, no one dead, no corpse. I can't find it with the ability of Jinyiwei, you say this thing is mysterious! "When the wine comes up, Xu Xianchun's words will be more.
Regardless of whether there is anyone around him, he began to talk about the secrets of Beijing.
Li Xiao didn't know about Chen Xuanfeng, and it was rare for Xu Xianchun to drink too much. Prick up your ears and listen!
"That's not all, the dark line of Jinyiwei has been found out. This Chen Xuanfeng once had contact with King Xin, and the matter here ......! Well......! Xu Xianchun raised his eyebrows at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Mao Wenlong are all very good listeners, and they are all curious babies with adoring expressions, looking at Xu Xianchun.
"And such a thing!" Li Xiao said in surprise as he picked up his wine glass.
Xu Xianchun took a big sip of "grunt", and Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Mao Wenlong all took a sip. This kind of banquet where you drink while talking doesn't even need to persuade you to drink.
"That's not all, his mother's Wang Tiqian, an old pickled goods, is actually a brother with that Wang Chengen. This was discovered by an eyeliner in the palace, and it was so hidden so deep that even our Jinyiwei didn't know it. Xu Xianchun didn't need to be persuaded, he picked up the cup and drank the wine in the cup. The little guy immediately filled up again!
"I'm ......!"
"Several adults used to drink here, and they marked Zu Dashou to toast." Xu Xianchun was about to speak, and suddenly Zu Dashou's voice sounded at the door. Then the door opened, and Zu Dashou walked in.
"Lord Xu may not recognize it, this is the ancestor of the ancestral army, and he was the most fierce in Jinzhou last year. A good man who shakes the Tartars! Seeing Zu Dashou coming in, Li Xiao immediately stood up and introduced Xu Xianchun.
"It turned out to be General Soldier, disrespectful! Disrespectful! Since it was Li Xiao's subordinate, Xu Xianchun still gave face, stood up and bowed his hand to Zu Dashou.
"My brother Wu Xiang and my nephew and I had dinner here, and when I heard that Lord Xu was coming, I came to toast a glass of water and wine." As soon as Zu Dashou stretched out his hand, the little guy behind him immediately handed over a glass of wine. Wu Xiang behind him also took a cup!
"Huh! It's rare to have a drink with the heroes who beat the Tartars, Mr. Zu, Mr. Wu, please! Xu Xianchun picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, and then drank it all.
Just put down the wine glass, Wu Sangui took the wine glass and bowed. "Boy Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou is my uncle, and Wu Xiang is my father. The kid knew that he was not qualified to give the adult's wine, but the kid's admiration for the adult's heart made the kid stand up. This glass of wine, the kid is dry. Feel free to touch your lips! ”
Wu Sangui said it politely, but he was not polite when he drank. A cup of Wuliangye was poured into his mouth with a "grunt", and his fair face immediately turned red like a monkey's ass.
"Good boy, so daring! Sure enough, it was a tiger father and no dog, and this glass of wine Xu was dry. Follow your father and kill more tartars. Hehe! Xu Xianchun has already drunk almost a pound of wine, and now the strength of the wine has come up, almost to the point where the wine is poured dry.
"Thank you Lord Xu for giving this face, we still have guests over there, Lord Xu invited. If Lord Xu is free, tomorrow my ancestor will be the east. Zu Dashou hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked Xu Xianchun for giving this face.
"There is a business trip tomorrow, and he will definitely disturb the ancestral army when he is free in the future."
"So! Leave! After Zu Dashou hugged his fists, he left with Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui.
"General Soldier Zu is really an upright person." They left, and Li Xiao pulled Xu Xianchun to sit down again. Xu Xianchun also praised Zu Dashou vigorously.
"What's going on in the capital right now?" After sitting down, Li Xiao saw that Xu Xianchun had drunk too much, and took the opportunity to ask.
"There is some chaos in the capital now, and many courtiers are watching. Some of the three battalions did not obey the call, and the forbidden army also did not listen to the call. You know the big explosion in Kyori! ”
"You know, the Apocalypse Big Bang!"
"That incident was that the three battalions were secretly selling gunpowder. The beggars bought gunpowder for those bastards and made artillery battles on the side of the flyover, but they didn't get it to blow up.
On that occasion, the officers of the three battalions were baptized in blood. A lot of people don't know whose way they went, so they were stuffed in. The Forbidden Army is the same, to tell you something. Tian told me that Cui Chengxiu was unreliable. Xu Xianchun really drank too much, and he wouldn't reveal a word when he was sober.
"Cui Bingbu? Lady Cui? ”
"That's him! If you think about it, he is the secretary of the military department. Insert people in the three major battalions, can you do it without his nod? Our Jinyiwei's secret pile found that Cui Chengxiu and Qian ...... Wow......! Xu Xianchun said that the key place suddenly squirted out a lot of vomit.
Fortunately, Li Xiao's hands were quick and he was not sprayed on his body.
Xu Xian fell down softly, and the two little guys around him quickly scooped them up. That's why he didn't sit in the vomit!
Finished! I really drank too much, but you told me what that money was called. It's itching now, but I can't ask yet.
"Lord Xu drank too much, help Lord Xu down. Let his attendants take good care of him, and no one shall see him in private. Sun Chengzong commanded in the dark, and the little servants immediately helped Xu Xianchun out. A little servant had already gone out to tell Xu Xianchun's subordinates who were eating in another room.
"Choi Chengxiu and Qian? Could it be that Choi Chengxiu was bought? Xu Xianchun drank too much, but Li Xiao, Mao Wenlong, and Sun Chengzong did not drink too much.
"Cui Chengxiu loves money, and it's not strange to be bought." Mao Wenlong saw a puddle of vomit on the ground and hurriedly covered his nose.
"This meal was not in vain, not only did it contain a lot of information. And he got 500,000 taels of silver! Sun Chengzong stood up with his sleeves folded, smiling like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken.
"Five hundred thousand taels, damn it. There was news from Jiangnan that the price of rice merchants in Jiangnan had risen. This year, the price of rice in Jiangnan has risen by 30%, and his mother's 500,000 taels of silver is enough for something. Lao Tzu has hundreds of thousands of mouths to feed, how can he fill their stomachs without food. ”
Li Xiao glanced at the brown paper envelope in his hand and said with some irritation.
"Hey......! It's good to grit your teeth and survive next year, and now let Man Gui hurry up and take someone to Jizhou to bring the silver back. Let's go to Wang Chengen again to see what benefits we can get. Sun Chengzong took the lead in walking out with his hands behind his back.
Li Xiao handed the bill of lading for the silver to Ai Husheng: "According to what Sun Lao said, let Man Gui go and pick up the silver." After speaking, he followed Sun Chengzong and walked out.
"These two guys, eat the east and eat the west. The people in the capital are crazy, doing business with this old and young fox, and still want to take advantage? Mao Wenlong muttered and walked out.
At the end of the corridor, Li Xiao pushed the door and walked in. "Princess, trivial matters have been delayed, don't be surprised."
