Chapter 12: Exploitation
"So fast?" Jing Xiu frowned, he knew that he couldn't hide this matter at all, but he didn't expect to be discovered so soon, which caught him a little off guard.
However, it is not surprising to think about it carefully, just the action of ordering sugar cane and other actions has made a lot of noise, and if it is discovered a few days later, it can only be said that those spies are blind and stupid.
"Don't worry, just take advantage of the situation." Wu Shuai, who was following along, said softly, looking like an old god was there.
Along the way, he had learned about the current strength of the lord through the conversation with the lord, and the two bodyguards of the martial arts were Ba Sanhu and Yan Xiaoliu, who were tragically weak.
However, it also aroused his desire to win, and the more this is the case, the more the lord relies on him, trusts him, and reuses him, which highlights his extraordinary ability, hehe.
This is the first time he has taken action to solve problems for the lord, so he naturally has to do his best and behave well, but after thinking about it, there is really no one available under the lord, and the only way is to take advantage of the situation.
Leverage?
Jing Xiu turned pale when he heard it, his relationship with Empress Li was not glamorous, although he had been notified by Li Ping that serving as the captain of the black-clothed guard was already a sure thing, but the appointment documents, identity cards, official uniforms and so on had to be delayed for a few days.
In other words, his most powerful backer could not be counted on in the past few days, so he could only borrow the momentum of the martial arts Hou Xue and the loyal and brave Hou Lei.
"Uncle Zhong, this is Mr. Wu Shuai, if I am not there, he will decide the big and small matters in the house, you just need to cooperate with Mr. Wu."
Jing Xiu confessed a few words, and then took Ba Sanhu and Yan Xiaoliu out of the house, during the time he went out, it was also the most dangerous time, Wu Shuai and Zhongbo must hold on until he came back.
"Rest assured, the handsome and loyal housekeepers will swear to protect the secret of Snow Candy." Wu Shuai bowed in response.
He knew in his heart that the housekeeper was the master's confidant and confidant, and he could make the lord respectfully call him "Loyal Uncle," saying that Yin Jing Zhong was the old man of the Jing family, and there was absolutely no problem with loyalty, and his status was also transcendent, such a person could only be respected, not provoked.
Wu Shuai was polite to the loyal housekeeper, and the loyal housekeeper was also polite to Wu Shuai, he knew his ability and status very well in his heart, at most he was qualified for the position of housekeeper, and no one competed with him, so he only needed to do his job well.
Looking at Childe's attitude towards Mr. Wu, you know that Mr. Wu must have great ability, Childe respects him, trusts him, and reuses him, how can such a person be offended.
The two sides were polite to each other, which also made Wu Shuai secretly relieved, what he was most worried about was that people like Jing Zhong would secretly dismantle the stage by relying on their old qualifications, and then they would have a headache.
Jing Xiu, under the escort of Ba Sanhu and Yan Xiaoliu, hurried to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't care about the seven or eight unscouts who were staring behind him.
"Ah, the virtuous nephew is in such a hurry, it shouldn't be to visit the old boy of Lei Tong, right?"
A team of armor warriors in fresh armor rode slowly on a high-headed horse, led by the old marquis of martial arts Xue Qingyang, who was greeting him with a smile.
"How does Uncle know ......" Jing Xiu exclaimed, then realized something, and quickly closed his mouth tightly.
Alas, the Tao is still not cultivated enough, and if you don't pay attention, you will be shaken off by the old guy, and Jiang is still old and spicy.
But to be honest, he was still quite surprised in his heart, this is the simple-minded, well-developed limbs, and vulgar and shameless old Qiu Ba who everyone has the impression of?
"Your uncle, I pinched my fingers, and knew that the virtuous nephew wanted to invite the uncle to drink, so I came over, hehe." Xue Qingyang blinked, stroked the long beard under his chin, and smiled strangely, with an unfathomable look of an old god.
"Ouch, uncle, you are really powerful, you have the ability to predict the unknown, the little nephew admires." Jing Xiu slapped her thigh fiercely, with a surprised and admiring expression on her face.
Well, it's a bit exaggerated.
Although life is like a play, it all depends on his acting skills, but he is really not fully dressed this time, at least half of it is real, and he still admires the acting skills of the old marquis.
After pretending to be for so many years, I don't know how many enemies who underestimate him have been killed, this acting skill is at least worth a few little golden men.
Such a sinister old guy who can trap people to death, he has to deal with it with 120,000 points of spirit.
"Virtuous nephew, Xiao Lei's side, Uncle has already informed you, he will come later, let's wait while eating, hehe." Xue Qingyang grinned, said with a smile, and kicked off the horse and walked with Jing Xiu.
Ray......
Jing Xiu almost couldn't hold back his laughter, Lei Tong Lei, who was over half a hundred years old, was called Xiao Lei by him, which made Lei Lao Hou Ye hear, and it was estimated that it would be possible to fight on the spot.
"Wait, the little nephew was originally going to buy some cooking condiments, and since the uncle is here, let someone buy it." Jing Xiu suddenly remembered something, patted her forehead and said.
He did have the intention of going to the pharmacy to buy angelica, grass fruit, bay leaves, star anise and other seasoning condiments, but now he can only let people buy them.
Ba Sanhu and Yan Xiaoliu are his people, and it is a bit dangerous to go on the street alone now, so I can only ask the guards of the old marquis to do it for him, and each so-so will have a pound or two, anyway, it will be commonly used in the future.
Xue Qingyang nodded, and instructed a clever general to write down the names of all the medicinal materials that Jing Xiu said, and then go to the pharmacy to buy them, while he walked side by side with Jing Xiu surrounded by dozens of generals, and swaggered to the Jing family's mansion.
It didn't take long for the loyal and brave Hou Lei Tong to swagger in the crowd of generals, and Jing Xiu opened the middle door to welcome the arrival of the old Marquis Lei.
The whole process was witnessed by dozens of spies, and then rushed to report back to their old man, as for what the old man thinks, it is not for these little spies to know.
Jing family mansion.
There are more than a dozen tables of banquets in the spacious compound, all of which are the guards of the martial arts Hou Xue Qingyang and the loyal and brave Hou Leitong, fragrant, hot pot, eating meat in large pieces, drinking in large bowls, laughing and laughing, so lively.
In the wing room, Jing Xiu set up another table to entertain Xue Qingyang and Lei Tong alone.
As a foodie, he can't tolerate his stomach being abused, the cooking techniques and seasonings of this era are too backward, and the two old marquis are coming, and they have to be entertained with all their hearts, so he cooks hot pot himself.
At the same time, he also picked two diligent and clever aunts from the house slaves to learn the cooking techniques of the new era, and emphasized the importance of paying attention to hygiene, in order to treat his stomach well, he also fought hard.
Pork copper bones and miscellaneous bones are used as hot pot bases, and large seasonings such as bay leaves and grass fruits are added, as well as a small amount of green chili peppers, and chicken pieces, pork slices, and fish slices are used as ingredients, and the taste crushes any famous chef in Fengwu Continent.
If he wasn't in a hurry, Jing Xiu still wanted to get some homemade sauce to order hot pot, but the two old marquis smelled the mouth-watering smell of meat, and they couldn't wait, and he couldn't help it.
"Ha, it's just a delicacy in the world, but it's a little spicy, ha......"
"Ha, that's how strong it is, cool, ha......"
The two old marquis were enjoying the food while muttering, they completely disregarded the image, topless, and wiped the sweat oozing from their foreheads with handkerchiefs from time to time.
Eating spicy hot pot on dog days is called a cool, but unfortunately there are no drinks like cold beer or cold coke.
Well, with the current conditions, it is already very good, and you must know how to be a man.
