"In short, things are on the right track, the government has Brother Li to communicate, and the rest of the matter is nothing more than to prove to the government that we do have the ability to cure the plague, so that we can cheat the appropriation... Set it down. ”

Gu Huai crossed the threshold of the Li Mansion with Qingming, and said as he walked with his thoughts:

"The plague is so serious that the city is going to be closed, the dead refugees are piled up into a mountain, and the most anxious must be Jiangning Mansion Yin, at this time, he jumped out and said that he could cure the plague, he must want to give it a try, if he spends money to solve the problem... The officials and men are very rich. ”

Qingming thought for a while: "It is also possible to be regarded as a charlatan." ”

"It's unlikely that the rich old man and Brother Li will come forward, but the necessary preparations still have to be made, at least they have to put up their appearance."

Speaking of this, Gu Huai stopped in the middle of the garden, he looked at Qingming, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Qingming became alert: "What? ”

"Nothing... How to get to the back kitchen? ”

Anyway, it's the princess's mansion, the scale of the dining room is very large, Gu Huai, who came here for the first time, was taken aback as soon as he entered the door, at this time, so many refugees outside the city can't eat food, and all kinds of meat and vegetables here... It really makes a person who likes to cook a little itchy.

Qingming didn't ask him what he was going to do, but let him save some time to explain, looked down at the dazzling array of condiments, he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and picked up the spoon.

Now Zi Qingming was really taken aback, Daqian is extremely literate, which reader is not self-conscious and only likes to play with the pen? Things like firewood, rice, oil, and salt are insulting to them in their eyes, and they take care of this posture... Do you want to cook it yourself?

What kind of crazy is this?

"Didn't you say that the gentleman was far away from cooking?"

"Where is this kind of exquisiteness, and the gentleman will not eat? The person who said this kind of thing obviously hasn't been hungry yet," Gu Huai obviously despised this statement, "And should I say it or not... I've always loved cooking. ”

His gaze swept over the neatly stacked eggs on the side, and the corners of his eyebrows furrowed.

After a few months, the food of this era is almost accustomed, it is still cooking-based, although there are stir-fried dishes, but most of them are not the essentials of the poor taste is not good, the meals in the princess's mansion are like this, it is not difficult to imagine what level the people eat on weekdays.

Picking up a few eggs, and then picking up sesame oil, the rice in the steamer on the side was steaming, Gu Huai was a little regretful, and remembered a line he had seen in his previous life.

It still has to be fried overnight to be delicious.

But you can only do it, heat the pan with oil, cut the shallots into chopped green onions, and then beat the eggs into a bowl with chopsticks, after the oil temperature is enough, the golden egg liquid is poured into the pot, and the aroma of the food rises with the heat.

Qingming, who was standing in the distance, wrinkled his little nose, looking at the busy back a little dazed, there must be a lot of men who can cook in this era, but this person in front of him is clearly a scholar who can't pick his shoulders and can't even lift his hands, and even eating is a problem, otherwise how could he become a shield used by Li Mingzhu to fool the court?

First it was inexplicably able to cure the plague, and then there was not the slightest pedantic spirit of a scholar... Is he really still the same Gu Huai who ran to the gambling house the day after he got married?

After a while, the fire on the stove dimmed, and Gu Huai held the two plates, and was somewhat surprised to find that Qingming was actually distracted.

Don't look at this girl is always cold, looks silly and only reaches her chest, but she always looks vigilant on weekdays, what is she thinking about?

He sat down at the table, beckoned to Qingming, and looked at the plate with Qingming who came back to his senses:

"Can I eat this?"

"What are these words," Gu Huai glanced at her, and picked up the spoon and tasted it with some dissatisfaction, "Of course it smells very good." ”

Qingming hesitated for a moment, then sat down, picked up a spoonful and put it into his small mouth like Gu Huai, chewed it carefully, and after a while, the big eyes bloomed with surprise.

Gu Huai saw all this in his eyes, and he was very satisfied in his heart, girl... If you have something to ask for, you must coax first, this girl seems to be immune to good words, so she can only start with eating.

"It's delicious," Qingming tasted again, "what is this?" ”

has been with Li Mingzhu for more than ten years, and she has tasted everything from delicacies to street food, but this is the first time she has seen this kind of food in front of her.

Between the white rice grains, golden scrambled eggs loom out, decorated with green green onions, and the unique fragrance makes people appetite.

"Egg fried rice," Gu Huai paused, "a little taller... It's okay to call it a full house. ”

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Even if the question is on point, the atmosphere seems to be in place... Gu Huai put down the spoon: "Hmm... Want to borrow some money. ”

The spoon fell, and Qingming was shocked: "You find a maid to borrow money?" ”

"Of course not borrowing from you... To be precise, I plan to borrow some from the mansion," Gu Huai didn't feel embarrassed, "At most, it will be returned in a few days, doesn't this mean that you have to open a pharmacy?" There is not even a pharmacy, how to deceive... Let the government allocate money to control the plague? ”

Qingming looked at him steadily, put down the spoon after a while, stood up and took out the small money bag: "A dish in Fulin Building is only a few dozen yuan, I'll make it up for you..."

Gu Huai was a little discouraged: "Don't mind... Everything is easy to discuss, how about listening to the plan first? ”

Probably remembering the scholar's disobedience these days, and the relieved smile on the city wall, Qingming hesitated, but still did not leave, quietly waiting for the following.

"As I said before, to treat the plague in the shortest possible time, it is definitely not possible to rely on the private sector to organize a plate of scattered pharmacies, or the inefficient and corrupt government," Gu Huai pondered for a moment, "And I don't plan to earn money from refugees, so opening a pharmacy and having the government allocate funds to treat refugees is the best way to solve the current epidemic and earn money from the government." ”

"Will the government agree?"

"If the rich old man comes forward, plus the evidence of curing the plague, they will agree, because I don't want much," Gu Huai shook his head, "The biggest question is whether the government will want to kick us out of the way with a prescription, so we still have to pull the old man out to support the façade... I have to see Mr. Qian again, but no one can refuse this opportunity to go down in history. ”

"Where did you find so many doctors?"

"Even a rough man can follow a note, why do you have to be a doctor?"

"That's what you talked to Li Di about before?"

"Of course, the reason why I asked him if he wanted to be promoted was naturally because as long as he contributed to this matter, it would be his political achievement anyway, and as for whether he would be picked by others, it was his own business."

In the end, Gu Huai concluded: "The government spent the least amount of money to solve the biggest problem, and they are very satisfied; Refugees outside the city don't have to wait for death anymore, and they will be satisfied with the first batch of antibiotics that can be applied on a large scale in seven days at most. As for Qian Lao's reputation, Li Di has won political achievements, and Li Fu only borrowed a little money but may get double the return... Naturally, I am also very satisfied. ”

He spread his hands: "You see, as long as you lend me money to open a pharmacy, everyone will be very satisfied." ”

Qingming's big eyes narrowed beautifully: "Double? ”

Gu Huai became vigilant: "... Thirty percent? ”

"Fifty percent."

"Where did this lion's mouth come from?" Gu Huai was a little annoyed, "I have to give the prescription, I have to find the people, I have to do the things, I only borrow a little money and want fifty percent?" Then I might as well go find Qian Lao or find a random pharmacy..."

"You don't need to be three, and you don't need to double, but you have to promise one thing," a hint of brilliance flashed in Qingming's eyes, "The pharmacy is from the Li Mansion." ”

Gu Huai was stunned, and then became a little meaningful: "As long as the reputation doesn't need money... OK. ”

He got up and left: "Anyway, the plague is over, and the pharmacy is useless, I will let those refugees who are being treated know that it was the pharmacy in the Li Mansion that saved them." ”

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Qingming, who stayed in place, looked down at the egg fried rice that had not yet been eaten, and muttered softly:

"Knowing people's hearts..."
