Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 397

"Master, there is a visitor!" The housekeeper of Cheng's house came to report.

Cheng Yao Jinzheng was enjoying the fine wine and side dishes, and waved his hand impatiently: "Guest? See you, sir, I'm a guilty person now, and I've been punished to shut myself up and think about my mistakes. Help me push it away."

"As ordered!"

The housekeeper hadn't reached the gate to reply when the visitor broke into the courtyard by himself and shouted loudly, "Old Cheng, brother, I'm here to visit you. I'm here to support you this time. I know you've suffered." I feel wronged, so I came here to comfort you."

Um?this voice?Is it... old black?

Damn it, it's not good!This guy is more greedy than me, so he must not let him see...

Cheng Yaojin reacted very quickly. Almost the moment he called out Lao Hei, he involuntarily began to protect the food with his hands, and subconsciously hugged the wine jar.

It's a pity, if you dare to break in at this time, you must have come prepared.What comforts people?It was clearly for the sake of the wine, and he chatted with everyone for a while, and he understood everything. No wonder Lao Cheng was punished, but he was as happy as eating bee droppings. It turned out that he had secretly benefited.

According to the news 'inadvertently' revealed by Prince Qin Li Yuanying, everyone knew the truth. Before going to court, Prince Qin's Mansion had sent the promised reward to Cheng Mansion.

reward?What reward?Didn't Lao Cheng get criticized this time?And rewards?
At this time, everyone remembered, isn't it? At the court meeting at the beginning of the war against locusts, King Qin promised to reward General Cheng with a hundred altars of fine wine...

That's the fine wine specially brewed by the King of Qin, and it's still a hundred altars?This, this who is not jealous?Compared with this, what kind of promotion, what kind of rewards?It's all scum!
No, I begged for a long time for old Cheng in the hall in vain, but in the end he got cheap and acted like a good boy?How can it be good not to share?That's Qin Wang's fine wine that even money can't buy!Yuchi Jingde yelled on the spot.

Well, since he took the lead, many people were moved and rushed towards Cheng Yaojin's house one after another.

So there was the opening scene, asking the housekeeper to report, and then Yuchi Jingde broke in directly, followed the housekeeper, and arrested Lao Cheng to show up.

"Old Cheng, I know that you have been wronged, but you can't drink alone at home, it's too harmful to your health. Come on, brother, I'll accompany you, let's not go home today if we don't get drunk!" Yuchi Jingde didn't break into the house at all Instead of embarrassment, Cheng Yaojin was bewildered by a familiar enthusiasm.

When he came to his senses, the wine jug in his arms had changed hands, and it was in Yuchi Gong's hands, and the other party was already skillfully pouring wine into the bowl.

"Hey, old Hei, slow down, this is the first line of spirits, it's too wasteful to drink it in a bowl, pour it into a wine jug, and use a small cup to drink it slowly." Lao Cheng hurriedly stopped it.

"Old Cheng, we're here to see you, how are you? Are you okay? Don't get distracted. Your Majesty and King Qin didn't really blame you, it was just a show for the civil servants..."

Just as he was talking, there was a commotion in the courtyard, Qin Shubao, Duan Zhixuan, Niu Jinda and other generals swarmed over.

What?you?Here……

"Haha, everyone came at a good time. Old Cheng has good wine here, with a first-class throat! He just said that if you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!" Yuchi Jingde showed off with a wine jug in his hand.Everyone was overjoyed and praised Lao Cheng for his generosity.

With a plop, Lao Cheng slumped down on the chair, and he finished his thoughts, this group of animals, the hundred jars of fine wine I just got... With this group of drunkards around, how can they not be so drunk?I'm afraid that after a banquet, [-]% of the wine will be gone.

Yuchi Blackie!You didn't hold your fart well. I didn't say that you won't return if you don't get drunk. You said it yourself, okay?

Although he kept cursing secretly in his heart, he was a guest at the door, and they were all old brothers who were born and died together. Old Cheng couldn't show his face to drive people away, so he could only grit his teeth and order the back kitchen to prepare a banquet.

It's rare that after a big battle, you can rest for a few days.Li Yuanying is very happy at home with his beautiful wife and concubine, and his children around his knees.

This day, a rare guest came to the tavern, Han Wang Li Yuanchang, Li Yuanying's cheap brother, the seventh oldest.

"Fifth brother, where are you reading? Hehe, brother, what good things did I get? This is the best food, hard to come by. I know that fifth brother is the chef of the Tang Dynasty, so..." Li Yuanchang's face was full of flattery. laugh.

Li Yuanying was very annoyed by this incompetent younger brother, and said with a cold face: "You kid knows how to fly eagles and run dogs all day long without doing business. What? How dare you use your fifth brother as a free cook?"

"Fifth brother, where is this? How dare younger brother? Didn't I get the best ingredients and use it to honor fifth brother. I know that a group of children on your side are waiting to be fed. As an uncle, I can't think of ways to make up for these little nephews." Make up for it?"

Li Yuanchang presented the ingredients he brought, which was a piece of fat and thin pork belly, Li Yuanying frowned.

Feng Zhidai who was serving the tea didn't recognize it, and asked in a low voice, "Master, what kind of animal meat is this?"

"Hehe, fifth brother, I'm afraid you may not recognize this meat." Li Yuanchang said quite proudly.

Li Yuanying got up, kicked this guy's ass directly, and reprimanded angrily: "You don't learn well, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you only do these stealthy jobs, and the emperor will be mad at you if he finds out." .This is beef, and it is top-quality cultivated beef. Do you know that in my Tang Dynasty, killing cattle is a felony?"

What? ? ,beef?And it's still a cattle?Feng Zhidai covered his mouth in surprise, thinking how could this King of Han do this?Do you know the law and break the law?

Now that the farming of the Tang Dynasty is in short supply of cattle, not to mention one large animal for one family, it means that the average four families cannot share one of them.This is why the laws of the Tang Dynasty prohibit the killing of cattle.

However, with the protection of the cattle in this way, there is still a big shortage of cattle in successive years, and this greatly limits the grain output of Datang.

"Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, don't hit me, I know it's wrong. This cow is a sick cow. I accidentally broke its leg while plowing the field. I really didn't kill the meat eater on purpose..." Li Yuanchang repeatedly begged for forgiveness , the princess in the backyard also came to persuade.

After a severe beating, Li Yuanying gradually calmed down, pointed to Li Yuanchang and said, "A cow with a broken leg? Huh! It's best if you tell the truth, and I will let someone check it out. If you dare to lie to me, or You deliberately sent someone to break the beef leg to eat meat, you just wait for the fourth brother to demolish your Hanwang Mansion."

"Ah? Don't dare, dare not lie to Fifth Brother. No matter how courageous I am, I don't dare to show off to Fifth Brother if I make a mistake, right?" Li Yuanchang was sweating guiltily.

Isn't it cold sweat? Why doesn't this guy do bad things?No, it should be said that he never did a good thing, all he did was bad.

Let’s just talk about eating cattle. The reported loss of thousands of cattle around Chang’an City a year, one-third of which are passed through the hands of this man, or they are stolen by themselves, killed and eaten, or sold to dignitaries. The people dare to be angry. I dare not say it, after all, he is the emperor's younger brother, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to offend a prince because of a cow, and he can't afford to offend him.

If Li Yuanying found out about this, Li Yuanchang would have to be skinned even if he didn't die, so at this time he was sweating profusely, and he was in a good mood to eat meat. Now, let alone meat, even delicacies from mountains and seas are bitter in the mouth.

"Lao Qi, last time you gave Cheng Qian a male favorite, right? Huh, what a bastard! How old is Cheng Qian? Once the crown prince and prince, you almost spoiled him. If you let the second brother know, you say How do you want to die?"
