Xue Bai slept peacefully in the Lady of the Kingdom of Yu's Mansion.

He hadn't slept in such a soft and comfortable bed in a long time, and he hadn't felt so safe in a long time.

It was almost noon when he woke up, and the two maidservants outside the house had just changed shifts to ensure that he was always served when he woke up.

"The lady is about to go out, can Xue Langjun go and meet her?"

"It's important to get down to business, please take me to the kitchen, it's hard work."

When he arrived in the kitchen, Deng Lian was temporarily away.

Xue Bai was not in a hurry, he played a set of Baduan brocade in the kitchen, and then squatted with a stone. If Yang Yuyao can surprise him later, he can't make her feel lost.

In the middle of winter, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and someone behind him called him.

"Xue Langjun is here."

Deng Lian stroked his gray beard and said, "The villain thought that Xue Langjun would not get up too early, so he went to invite the villain's brother first." ”

Behind him, an old man slightly younger than him stepped forward to greet him.

"Deng Tong has seen Xue Langjun, and the villain is one of the little stewards who takes care of Mrs. Qiuguo's estate. Later, I happened to discuss the matter of the restaurant together. ”

Xue Bai replied: "The name of Chief Deng will be rich and noble in the future." ”

The three of them all knew that there was a rich Deng Tong in the Han Dynasty, although he was convicted and died in the end. But as long as the scene is good, the old brother of the Deng family stroked his beard and smiled.

"Borrow Xue Langjun's kind words."

Deng Lian smiled: "Xue Langjun hasn't eaten yet, right?" Then the villain will fry two dishes, and Lang Jun will evaluate them? ”

"I'm tired of Chief Deng."

"Eh, it's time for the villain to bow to Lang Jun."

The three of them stepped into the kitchen.

Now that Yang Yuyao has bought Xue Bai's skills, Deng Lian no longer shy away from it, and under Xue Bai's guidance, he took charge of the spoon, picked up a piece of fat pork, boiled some oil, and began to stir-fry.

"If you already have sesame oil in the world, you must be able to fry soybean oil? It stands to reason that soybeans produce better oil. ”

Deng Lianying said: "Soybeans are called soybeans, and small beans are called wattles." What Lang Jun said should be soybean oil, which is heavy in color and bitter in taste, and is only used for medicinal purposes...... Is it advisable to stir-fry? ”

"Try it and you'll find out." Xue Bai said: "In the future, it will not hurt that castrated pork will be promoted, but for the time being, I am afraid that some nobles will refuse to eat pigs and cause trouble, so it is more appropriate to have soybean oil." ”

Deng Lian nodded, and became more enlightened about cooking, and more and more understood the reason for the change of taste of ingredients.

The two hot dishes came out of the pot, and when Xue Bai tasted it, it was even more delicious than Hu Sanniang's fried food, the heat was just right, and the spices were more appropriate.

At this time, the second mother of the Du family arrived. Yang Yuyao had already instructed Deng Tong to talk to Xue Bai and the Du family about the restaurant industry on behalf of Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion, and her own maidservant invited Du Yan to the kitchen.

The four of them sat down in the gazebo to discuss.

~~

Du Yan glanced at Xue Bai, wanting to see something, but in the end she couldn't see anything.

She frowned slightly, focusing on business.

It's a pity that the Du family has no experience in managing commercial affairs, and most of the time they still listen to Deng Tong.

"The northeast corner of Daozheng Fang, near the spring gate, there is a house, covering an area of fifty steps square, some time ago it was robbed, and it was found that it was a dark gambling house, and now it is being sold. The villain thought the location was excellent. It is adjacent to Xingqing Palace in the north, and can receive high-ranking officials and important ministers after meeting the saint; It is adjacent to the East City in the west, and there are many wealthy businessmen and large families; It is adjacent to the Spring Gate in the east, which is the place where Chang'an wine customers gather. In addition, there are travelers who enter and exit the Chunming Gate, and they can come to eat as soon as they arrive in Chang'an. ”

"One more point." Deng Lian said: "The procurement of ingredients is also convenient. ”

Deng Channel: "I thought, as soon as the method of stir-frying comes out, there will be countless people in Chang'an peeping, and we have purchased too much pork and soybean oil, which will soon leak out." It is advisable to set up a piece of land outside the Chunming Gate to raise pigs and build an oil mill. ”

"And the iron pot." Xue Bai reminded: "You have to cast two iron pots." ”

"Haha, don't worry, Xue Lang, it's not difficult......"

Du Yan couldn't speak.

She suddenly found that if this matter was left behind the Du family, Xue Bai and Mrs. Qiu's Mansion would be completely successful.

In the end, when the deed was placed in front of her, Du Yan suddenly hesitated, feeling that she had taken advantage of it in vain.

"Press it." Xue Bai said.

The fingerprint was pressed up.

"The villain will go to the treasury today to report the money and goods." Deng Daodao: "Let's go to Daozheng Square tomorrow to see the house?" ”

"It's hard work, Chief Deng."

"In the future, I will have to deal with each other often, Xue Langjun can call me by name."

"Uncle Deng should be called, there is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure. Now we have two treasures, and we can make a lot of money. ”

“……”

Du Yan watched them talk, and when the Deng brothers left, Xue Bai turned around, and she said, "I have something to say to you." ”

"Okay."

Du Yan felt that it was difficult to speak, so she said: "The Tian brothers went to Du's house in the morning to find you, saying that they were promoted, and the general transferred them to inspect Chunmingmen Street before the Shangyuan Festival. ”

"Good thing."

"Then there's no one to protect you."

"It's okay for the time being, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the East Palace don't want to have extraneous branches at this time." Xue Bai asked, "What's wrong with you?" Not too happy? ”

Du Yan said: "I have never done anything in the industry, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it well." ”

"Take your time." Xue Baiyu encouraged, "As long as you work hard, you will be able to do a good job." Stir-frying is still a novelty, and business will not be bad. There are only two things you have to do, manage people and money, which you are good at. ”

"But, the Du family owes you too much. It's not so much that Yang Yuyao is willing to share 30% of the Du family, but in fact, she doesn't mind sharing 60% of you......"

"If the Du family doesn't take away the thirty percent, will I take care of it alone? I'm in business, not business. Without you, would I have kept an eye on my accounts and my money every day? ”

Du Yan was slightly stunned.

"How many more times?" Xue Bai lowered his voice and said, "I am just an outsider in the Lady of the Kingdom Mansion, how many people can really make me trust?" ”

This time, he didn't casually say good things to coax people, but with the attitude of a superior, and his tone was slightly reproachful.

"Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and being ashamed, it's better to show me a good job."

"Okay, don't worry." Du Yan said: "This thirty percent of the Du family has been collected, which will make you feel worthwhile." ”

"That's exactly how it should be."

Du Yan has always been strong, but she was a little lost and unconfident by chance, and immediately felt that Xue Bai was stronger, but she did get comfort and support, and regained her confidence.

When Xue Bai sent Du Yan away on this day, and the two walked on the path, her attitude towards him was not as arrogant as that of others.

"What about you? Don't you go back? ”

"Deng Lian hasn't fully learned how to stir-fry yet, and I still have to teach him a few days."

Du Yan turned her head to look, only to see that the maid who led the way was still far away, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You...... You have great ambitions, but if you do it for her...... That's it, I'm leaving. ”

She didn't ask in the end, turned over on her horse, and drove away, still depressed. So he secretly scolded Yang Yuyao for being too arrogant, a relative dared to summon her and not meet her in person.

But she didn't have to face Yang Yuyao, she was actually relieved about this.

~~

It's night, right prime minister's house.

There was a loud "bang" in the lobby, and porcelain tiles splashed.

"Rubbish!"

As Li Linfu scolded, the steward hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The villain should die, the villain should die!" ”

"Grandpa is angry." Li Xiu walked into the hall with five beautiful women and said, "People have brought it." ”

"Question!"

Li Xiu turned around and asked, "Have you ever been given to the crown prince first?" ”

The five beautiful women were shocked, and quickly knelt on the ground, crying and begging, "Ah Lang forgive the sin." ”

"Say!"

"Slave family...... The slave family was indeed sent to the Ten Princes' Mansion, but after less than half an hour, the prince sent the slave family back to the court...... Whining...... The prince really hasn't touched the slave family...... The slave family didn't even see the prince......"

Li Xiu asked, "Why did you hide this matter?" ”

"Before we were sent to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, there was an attendant who said...... He said that if the right minister knew that we had been given to the crown prince...... Will beat us ......"

"Who said that?"

"A little chamberlain, in his early twenties...... The slave family really can't remember......"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Li Linfu was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing.

He is over sixty years old, and there are so many beautiful women in the house that he can't be spoiled at all, and he doesn't recognize them all. A few days ago, the saint gave five palace people, and it was impossible for him to rebel.

At that time, he also specially asked the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, but the other party did not say that it was given to the prince by the saint, and the prince did not dare to accept it before transferring it to him.

I never thought that in the past two days, there were rumors that "the right minister robbed the palace people given to the prince by the saint", which is nothing in normal times, and Li Linfu is still proud, but this is the critical moment of abolishing the prince, and the slightest change in the saint's perception of them may affect the result.

Today, the saint interrogated about the 38 lives, and the evidence clearly pointed to the East Palace...... But in the end, the crown prince could not be abolished in one fell swoop.

This is a very bad omen for Li Linfu, who prides himself on having insight into the Sacred Heart, and this incident shows one point - there is someone around the saint who is protecting the prince.

Concubines, chamberlains, and six guards of the North Ya...... Among these people is the deeply hidden henchmen of the East Palace. This person usually doesn't make a lot of moves, but he is very useful when it is critical.

Check, you have to let the people in the palace check carefully!

"Ah Lang, Yang Shenjin has arrived."

"This rubbish! Call him to him, and you will go down. ”

Li Linfu had heard the rumors, and knew that Yang Shenjin didn't try his best to do things, and he was very angry, but at the moment, Yushitai was still very useful, and he couldn't mess with himself.

Although talented subordinates are happy to kill, they hate less when it comes to employing people.

For a moment, I also remembered Xue Bai, who could force out the dead soldiers of the East Palace.

But after all, the vertical is too young and his status is too low, and at this level of the game, it is no longer the kind of small chess pieces that are qualified to participate......

~~

Li Xiu left the lobby and waited under the corridor for a long time, but did not hear any scolding.

He heard about Yang Shenjin and the Du family's daughter, and now he needs Yang Shenjin to impeach the East Palace with all his might, but he is in trouble, and he thought that Grandpa would reprimand Yang Shenjin.

Unexpectedly, Li Linfu's reaction was calm.

"Maybe it doesn't have much of an impact?"

Li Xiu muttered to herself, rejoicing for Yang Shenjin.

They have a good relationship, they are all noble-born, dignified, and talented, and they are also both standing on the position of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion but they are ruthless.

……

"Shiro, there's a visitor."

"Looking for me?"

Li Xiu went to the front yard to greet him, and the person who came was Jia Chang.

"Why did the Chicken Boy come over at this time?"

"I was going to go to Nanqu to stay for prostitution, but I thought there was something I should tell Shiro." Jia Chang was slightly drunk, "Shilang has heard about stir-fry today?" ”

"What is stir-fry?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm too busy today." ”

"It's the delicacies I ate yesterday in the Lady of Qiuguo's mansion, and today's Chang'an nobles are already talking, do you know who it came from?"

Jia Chang asked himself and answered, "It is the son-in-law of your Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Bai." ”

"He went to the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu?" Li Xiu frowned, "Offering food? ”

With such a reputation as Mrs. Qiuguo, what will she do when she meets a beautiful boy like Xue Bai...... Thinking of this, it made him a little unhappy.

Thinking about it again, Xue Bai didn't go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to offer food, and he didn't try his best to find his life experience, what did he want to do?

The son-in-law who originally thought it was certain was a little uncertain at this time.

Seeing Li Xiu's expression, Jia Chang said with a smile: "Shilang doesn't mind, it must be difficult to be gracious, after all, Xue Bai and Yang Zhao are good friends." ”

He didn't want to be the wicked person who complained, but he was present in this matter, and if Li Xiu heard it from others, it would not be beautiful. It was too late to break up the banquet last night, and Li Xiu was not in the mansion today, so he had to rush to talk about it tonight anyway.

After praising the deliciousness of the stir-fry a few more words, Jia Chang got up and said goodbye.

Li Xiu sent him out, beckoned a small servant, handed out the talisman and ordered: "You go to Du's house for a trip, and let Xue Bai come to see me early tomorrow morning." ”
