Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Dishes that had never been seen before were served on the table. The officials of Fujian Province looked at each other and looked at you. They didn't want to be the first to eat crabs. Li Xu knocked on the table and said loudly: "Please come today Another purpose is to introduce toufu to everyone. This tofu is made of soybeans. One catty of soybeans can make about three catties of tofu. The method is simple and ordinary people can make it at home. It is a good business."

Officials who understand prices calculated in their minds, and they knew that tofu was a very cheap food. Then they looked at the table full of dishes made of tofu and guessed whether King Shun wanted to sell tofu to make money. They secretly decided Well, as long as the tofu is not hard to swallow, they will definitely support King Shun's business.

Lei Ming boldly put down his chopsticks first, and picked up a triangular piece of golden yellow tofu. He thought, if this thing tasted bad, he would definitely not give Shun Wang any face, and just spit it out in one gulp.

After taking a small bite and chewing a few times, Lei Ming frowned and thought, it doesn't seem to be unpalatable. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and sweet, which is very in line with the taste of the local people.

Seeing his expression, everyone thought it was because the food was too unpalatable, and had lingering fears, but because of King Shun's face, they took a bite with their chopsticks. They didn't dare to say that everyone liked it, but most officials thought it tasted good. , the bean has a strong aroma and a very good taste. It is not a delicacy but it is enough to make people think about it.

After eating all ten dishes, everyone found that the dishes on the table were all eaten up without knowing it, and several bowls of rice were eaten. A few officials with big appetites were eating soup with rice fragrant.

Li Xu hasn't eaten tofu dishes for a long time. Although he feels that the cooks here don't taste good enough, but because of the limited seasoning, it's the original flavor of the ingredients themselves, which is also very fragrant.

After the meal, Li Xu saw that every table was clean, and he felt confident, "What do you guys think of the taste of this tofu?"

Everyone was not stingy with their praises. Some exaggeratedly said: "This is simply the most delicious food that I have eaten in my life." Some people said implicitly: "Ordinary people buy a few pieces of tofu every day, and exchange If you do it in a way, you won’t get tired of eating it for a year.”

Li Xu told them: "Due to limited time, I can only make a few kinds today. There are many ways to make tofu, and there are more kinds of soy products, such as tofu skin, fermented bean curd, dried tofu, yuba, and gluten. Just give me time , can make more than a dozen different types.”

Lei Ming ate until his belly was round, and he ate his stomach, and said: "The people in South Vietnam are poor, and some people can't afford a penny. I'm afraid they can't afford it." He thought that King Shun might really be penniless. Wow, it's a shame to even sell such cheap food.

Li Xu glanced at him and laughed, "It's okay, if you don't have money, you can exchange it with beans. A catty of soybeans can be exchanged for a catty of tofu. If you don't even have beans, you can exchange them for something of the same value."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it. Every household has beans. It is easy to eat on weekdays. If you use them to replace tofu, you can change the taste every day. And they really want to try the tofu curd that King Shun said. The stuff, I think it tastes good too.

Li Xu could tell from everyone's expressions that this business has something to offer, and told them: "Starting tomorrow, a tofu shop will open on the east side of the old palace. People will pick up tofu and sell it along the street, you can let your family pay attention."

Everyone said that they would definitely let people buy it tomorrow. Lei Ming sat there without any intention of supporting King Shun's business.

How could he have thought that his brothers were already Li Xu's steadfast followers, and the members of the family lent them out one by one to help Li Xu make money. After he knew it, it would be impossible to take it back.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

After lunch, Li Xu went back to Kou's mansion and sent someone to go to the barracks to have a look at Kou Xiao. He didn't believe that Kou Xiao would be absent from his banquet for no reason. Sure enough, when he came back, he said that Kou Xiao hadn't returned all night last night and was drunk after returning this morning. He fell unconscious and slept all day before waking up. When he woke up, he sat there in a daze, and he did not know what hysteria was.

Li Xu thought with a strange expression: No way, did Kou Xiao just start eating meat last night?This man who has just started eating meat will indeed be a little excited. I guess he found a lovely girl last night, so he knows the taste.

Li Xu secretly teased Kou Xiao, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he thought that he was still a child in his thirties, maybe he could meet Kou Xiao to visit the brothel some other day.

It is said that wine and sex are the medium of friendship, maybe the relationship between the two of them can go further, with Kou Xiao's support, he can develop faster in South Vietnam.

Kou Xiao returned home in the afterglow of the setting sun, went straight to Li Xu's residence without even changing his clothes, and stared straight at him without saluting when he saw someone.

Li Xu felt terrified at the sight, and thought to himself: Could it be that Kou Xiao didn't like his association with South Vietnamese officials, thinking that he wanted to grab power with him.Look at this man-eating gaze, as if he is about to pounce on him and strangle him by the throat in the next second.

Kou Xiao did have this kind of thought, but he didn't want to kill someone, but he wanted to grab that white neck, bite that fragile Adam's apple, tear his clothes off, touch his whole body, let him Moaning under himself.

Kou Xiao swallowed his saliva, his eyes swept over Li Xu more and more wantonly, he has been thinking about a problem since last night.Whether he likes men or women, he deliberately went to Xifenglou to find the most beautiful flower girl and the most charming young man, but all of them could only mobilize his body, but could not give him a strong sense of conquest.

Only Shun Wang Li Xu was the one he saw in his heart at the first sight, who wanted to kiss, cuddle, and have sex.

Li Xu frowned and asked, "What's General Kou's intention? Can I eat a few more bowls of rice?"

Kou Xiao licked his lips and raised a presumptuous smile, "Yeah, the prince is so pretty, I'm sure I can eat a few more bowls of rice watching you eat." He looked at the time and asked, "The prince hasn't had dinner yet. How about we go together?"

Li Xu made a joke: "Watching this king eat, but there is a charge."

"Okay, how much I will give."

Li Xu secretly laughed and said that you are very rich, but he was only joking, so he wouldn't really want Kou Xiao's money.

Kou Xiao asked someone to pass on the meal, and he went to sit down in the small restaurant without thinking about it, and sat down on the main seat. Seeing Li Xu following in, he realized that he had forgotten his dignity, and quickly moved a seat.

Li Xu was even more sure that he was in the ring with him because of the incident at noon, so he sat down in the main seat calmly, playing with the white porcelain tea set on the table, "This tea set is expensive, it's rare for me to go all the way south See such delicate white porcelain."

Kou Xiao looked at his hand, and felt that those sharp fingers were a thousand times more beautiful than some shit white porcelain, "Yes, it's priceless." He thought, I heard that King Shun can cook, if he can eat Seeing the delicacies made by these hands, it must be extremely enjoyable.

It's just that this kind of high-level treatment can be enjoyed by him alone in the future.

"Is there a porcelain kiln that produces white porcelain in South Vietnam?"

Kou Xiao thought for a while, "There seems to be one in Laizhou to the west, but it can't make such delicate white porcelain." It happened that the servants came to serve the dishes with porcelain plates and bowls, and he pointed to a set of colored glazed porcelain plates Said: "This set of tableware was fired in that porcelain kiln, and it is also the most favored item of Nanyue's annual tribute."

Li Xu has been using this set of tableware for the past few days, and it doesn’t look very good-looking. The so-called colored glaze is not a bright color calcined, but some messy pigments smeared on it, and it feels rough to the touch. The tableware is not clean and smooth enough, has bumps to the touch, and has many flaws. In the eyes of modern people, this kind of inferior tableware is not even a defective product, and should be remade.

Kou Xiao saw that he didn't speak, thought that he didn't like such tableware, and laughed at himself: "Nanyue is barren, and there is nothing good. I am afraid that His Highness will not like it."

Li Xu purposely annoyed him and said, "It's a bit worse."

Kou Xiao sighed, "That's really wronged His Highness, but what can you do, you are in despair now."

These words are quite heart-wrenching, but fortunately Li Xu has a strong mind, and he nodded and laughed at himself: "No, this king now has the title of a prince, but has nothing. Fortunately, General Kou took him in and gave him a house to live in. food, otherwise, this king will end up living on the streets."

Kou Xiao turned his eyes, leaned in front of him and asked, "Will the prince be willing to give the general a little reward?"

Seeing his serious attitude, Li Xu couldn't help thinking carefully, "What does General Kou want?"

Kou Xiao repeated the phrase "I want you" several times in his mouth, but he didn't dare to say it, and replied with a smile: "Can you want anything? What does the prince have?"

Li Xu thought about the success rate of attracting Kou Xiao with benefits. He knew many methods of training soldiers and some weapons that were not available in this era. Gunpowder alone was enough to shock any military strategist in this era.

But he definitely wouldn't give it to Kou Xiao so easily, so he planned to give him a little profit, "There is a bow and crossbow in the Habayashi Army that can be fired in succession. It is small and light, and can shoot nine arrows in a row. Nanyue has ?"

Kou Xiao's smile widened, "No, the prince is now the master of Nanyue. The stronger Nanyue is, the stronger you will be. You must be happy to contribute to Nanyue."

Li Xu took a sip of the soup and said lightly: "The premise is that the South Vietnamese army can be used by this king, otherwise, if the arrow is aimed at this king in the future, this king will not be reaping the consequences."

"You really know how to joke. Everything in South Vietnam is yours, and the army is naturally yours." Kou Xiao silently added: I can also be yours.

If Li Xu brought a concubine or concubine, he might not have made up his mind, but Li Xu is single, and he has no wife or children, so the two of them can live together.

If that's the case, then his own things will naturally belong to Li Xu, and Kou's army can naturally listen to Li Xu's orders.

Li Xu didn't know how many unspeakable plots he had made up in his mind, "Let's eat first, and then give the blueprints to General Kou after dinner."

Kou Xiao immediately picked up a piece of meat for him, and said attentively: "I forgot that you are very polite, you don't eat or sleep, I understand."

Li Xu glanced at him sideways, without refuting.
