who marked me

The five major families belonged to merchants, so Zhu Qingyu invited people to the Shanxun Hall, which was specially used to receive guests.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there is light snow falling.

There are more than a dozen charcoal pots in the Shanxun Hall, baking the inside of the hall very warm.

On the top of the hall is Zhu Qingyu's main seat, and on the left and right sides are neatly arranged tables and chairs. The center is empty. If it is a banquet, you can watch beauties singing and dancing, and if it is a birthday, you can pay tribute gifts.

Zhu Qingyu sat on the main seat, not only didn't take off his coat, but also put a blanket on his stomach to cover his belly.Anyway, the king of the Qian Kingdom is lingering in the sick bed, and all ten countries know about his frailty. Zhu Qingyu doesn't even need to explain, just let them make up their minds.

The five major families sat on both sides, and there were quite a lot of people. At a table for two people, twenty people from the five major families sat abruptly.

I don't know if these people brought so many people here deliberately when they learned that he was going to treat guests to dinner.

But unlike the previous hiding and tucking, the five major families actually brought their own heavenly stems here.Zhu Qingyu saw Jing Chenxiang, Hua Yunzhe and others, and wanted to sharpen the system again.

After the system made trouble last time, Zhu Qingyu went back and took a handful of Xiaoshoujiu, and squeezed Xiaoshoujiu many pills before exposing the incident.

When Jing Chenxiang and the others saw Zhu Qingyu, they had different expressions.But with the heads of other families present, Jing Chenxiang and others didn't dare to be casual, they sat aside in a well-behaved manner, and they didn't even dare to breathe louder.

After the five major families saluted respectfully, the head of the Jing family wanted to speak, but Zhu Qingyu raised his hand to interrupt.

"Don't worry, I have developed a new gourmet recipe, and I would like to invite everyone to taste it." Zhu Qingyu clapped his hands and motioned for the servants to serve.

The maids who had been waiting outside took small steps to bring delicate metal pots into the Shanxun Hall.

There is bright red water in the small pot, and there are bright red peppers floating on it, and you can smell the spiciness when you smell it lightly.As it was snowing outside the hall, the oil in the pot had condensed slightly.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something edible.

Seeing this strange object for the first time, none of the five major families made a sound, waiting for Zhu Qingyu to speak.

But Zhu Qingyu didn't speak, and those maids just heated up the charcoal fire at the bottom of the small pot, and walked out of the Shanxun Hall after giving a blessing.

The second batch of maids came in.They were carrying a large tray.There were all kinds of food on the tray, including beef, tripe, duck intestines, hairy tripe, mushrooms, vegetables, and all kinds of seafood, as well as some things they had never seen before.

But these foods were obviously raw, and the five major families looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Zhu Qingyu was making trouble with.

When the third batch of maids came in, they were given not only bowls and chopsticks, but also a colander and several saucers.

Seeing the things on the table, the five major families were stunned.

Does this mean to make them stir-fry?

The small pot was grilled over charcoal fire, and the red soup soon began to bubble.

When everyone was at a loss, Zhu Qingyu raised his hand and said to the five major families: "This is my latest recipe, called hot pot."

Everyone looked at what was in front of them.There is a fire and a pot, and the name is also appropriate.Moreover, this soup is red and bright, so it is very suitable when the Spring Festival is approaching.

"The way to eat is very simple. Just wait for the red soup to boil, and then you can put your favorite food. Like this mushroom, you can put it in early, so you don't worry about it getting old. But this hairy belly is very particular, you have to go up and down. That's it. "Zhu Qingyu picked up a piece of hairy belly with chopsticks and began to demonstrate, "This is the first time to put it in the pot, then take it out of the pot, and then go back. Repeat this seven times, and the taste of the hairy belly is the best at this time."

Zhu Qingyu picked up the hairy belly from the tomato pot, blew it, and then ordered the dipping sauce.The tripe is crispy and delicious.The crisp chewing sound made when the hairy belly intertwined with the teeth made everyone who was not hungry at all greedy.

The rest of the people also followed Zhu Qingyu and started cooking hot pot.

At the beginning, the head of the Jing family thought that this was an ordinary boiled pork slice. When the tripe entered the mouth, the delicious tripe and the rich sauce burst in the mouth. The hot taste made the taste buds fuller and more layered. Especially after eating it, the whole body feels warmed up, it is simply the best food in winter.

"This is the bottom of the pot, and this is the dipping material." Jing Taihui, who is the head of the family, has seen a lot, and instantly realized that the ingredients for this hot pot are focused on the bottom of the pot and the dipping sauce.

"Master Jing, don't worry." Zhu Qingyu interrupted Jing Taihui again.

This time, he picked up the lettuce next to it and showed it to everyone, "This lettuce is a delicacy that does not exist in our country. It is extremely delicious with hot pot. You can put it in the pot first, and you can eat it when the lettuce becomes crystal clear. "

Hearing this, everyone put the lettuce down the pot.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qingyu introduced corn and cucumbers.

Everyone has an impression of things like cucumbers, because fast food restaurants have launched a cucumber salad.But that's what it looks like before, and the taste is sour and spicy, which is very appetizing.Seeing sliced ​​cucumbers now is familiar and unfamiliar.

"Let's eat. You're welcome, let's all taste the various dishes first." Zhu Qingyu raised his hand.

The heads of the five major families thought about Zhu Qingyu's intentions, but the juniors in the family became impolite and threw the dishes into the pot one after another.

Zhu Qingyu also took a few slices of meat and put them in the pot with interest, as if he didn't eat or sleep.

In fact, Zhu Qingyu's idea is very simple.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

When the head of the Jing family came, they must have already prepared a draft, how to use the status of the five major families to oppress Zhu Qingyu, and let Zhu Qingyu give up more benefits.

The current Zhu Qingyu is unable to confront the five major families head-on, so he uses this method to soften the five major families.

The reason why there is a dinner table culture is that, in the final analysis, when eating, blood is supplied to the stomach, the brain starts to slow down, and it is easier to talk about business.And people are most aggressive when they are hungry.Just like that boa constrictor, a full boa constrictor is lazy.

Zhu Qingyu used the novel hot pot to attract the attention of the five major families.

When the family needs to know the taste of each food, they can judge whether this hot pot is suitable for the people of Qianguo, so that they can negotiate better later.And this hot pot has many dishes, even if you only eat half of it, your stomach will still be [-]% full.

Just when Zhu Qingyu was thinking, he noticed a gaze.

Zhu Qingyu looked down and met Jing Chenxiang's eyes.Jing Chenxiang showed him a not-so-bright smile, and then looked down.

At first, Zhu Qingyu thought that Jing Chenxiang was looking at his hot pot, but then realized that Jing Chenxiang was looking at his stomach.

Zhu Qingyu's hand holding the chopsticks was a little unsteady.

This palace is like a sieve, with hidden threads everywhere, Zhu Qingyu never thought about the possibility that the five major families knew that he was the Empress of Dikun.But the golden dragon on the altar proves that at least before the child is born, his position is still stable.

Thinking like this, Zhu Qingyu stabilized his mind, and returned Jing Chenxiang with a smile.

Click.

The sound of chopsticks breaking was heard, and everyone in the hall looked towards the source of the sound.

The young master of the Bai family broke his chopsticks, and looked at Jing Chenxiang with an aggressive look.

Jing Chenxiang returned a casual look, and looked at Zhu Qingyu again.

Hua Yunzhe snorted, lost Zhu Qingyu's eyes as a heartless man, and continued to eat the hairy belly in the pot.

Zhu Qingyu: "..."

It is normal for the five major families to fight openly and secretly, but this seems to be a bit different.

When they were full of wine and food, everyone began to talk about business.

Zhu Qingyu was already prepared and clapped his hands.

The maid walked in again and put away the hot pot on the table. When the second batch of maids came in, they put a stack of papers on the table.

"It involves the secrets of each family, so I won't say much. Please read the contract. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it now. If you leave this temple and haven't signed the contract, I will treat you as abstaining."

He asked Su Yinhan and Baolong Dark Guard to check the situation of the major families, and then asked the system to tailor a contract for him according to the major families.

When Jing Taihui saw the contract, he was terrified at first glance.

Jingjia has been in the business world for many years, and he has some secrets of his own. He also knows which industries and fields he can make a lot of money in, and which industries have good business on the surface but thin profits.

Jing Taihui thought that he had concealed the situation of the Jing family well, but he didn't want Zhu Qingyu to have already found out.

The more you look at it, the more Jing Taihui's hands tremble.

Because when it came to the contract, Jing Taihui lamented that the contract was simply a shocking work.He is over 20 this year, and after reading contracts for more than [-] years, he naturally knows the common loopholes in contracts.This one is different, every detail has been completed completely, after Taihui looked at it, there is no loophole at all.

What impressed Jing Taihui the most was Zhu Qingyu's generosity and courage.

Zhu Qingyu uses the sharing system, which is mutually beneficial and win-win for each other. He will never intervene in what he should do, but Zhu Qingyu will never compromise on the interests that Zhu Qingyu should have.

Coupled with the fact that the hot pot meal smoothed Jing Taihui's sharpness, it was very difficult for Jing Taihui to call for Zhu Qingyu to change the contract at this time.

"Your Majesty, this is a hot pot business." The owner of the Hua family looked through it roughly again, and found that the cooperation with his Hua family did not involve food and drink.

"The hot pot belongs to my family." The Patriarch of the Mo family raised the contract in his hand, with a bit of complacency in his tone.

Hearing this, everyone seemed to understand what Zhu Qingyu meant.

Zhu Qingyu smiled and explained to everyone, "There is no reason to take everything in this business. It is better to cooperate with each other than to compete with each other. The Hua family is good at planting, and the ingredients they grow are of higher quality. The quality of Mo's restaurant is good, and customers are willing to return. My family has unique insights in iron smelting, and it is most suitable to make iron pots..."

The five big families showed smiles on the surface, but in fact they secretly scolded Zhu Qingyu, the little fox.

Such checks and balances between the five families will only become more serious, and with the law of patent protection, as long as this contract is signed, no one will be able to make money alone in the future.

This interest chain is most afraid of being broken, especially in this era of kingship, only when the entire industrial chain is in your own hands can you rest assured.

Zhu Qingyu knew that everyone would not agree easily, so he reminded everyone, "Everyone will share this industry chain equally, and do what they are good at. The goods in Qianguo are better than those in other countries. What is the future of sales?"

These words are really enlightening.

It was only after Taihui realized how shallow his thoughts were.

He only thought of domestic mutual checks and balances, but he forgot that they could crush the business of other countries by twisting a hemp rope.

The Qian Kingdom has long been in the pocket of their five major families. Instead of biting the hard bones of the other four families, why not pick the soft persimmons?Although he alone can't compete with the big families of other countries, but their five families are connected with each other, which is the strength of half a dry country.

How can such a behemoth be easily shaken by other families.

The more Jing Taihui thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done.The other four Patriarchs were also enthusiastic and couldn't wait to sign the contract.

Jing Chenxiang knew the way, and looked at Zhu Qingyu again, with a little more fanaticism in his eyes.

Such a Dikun is really fascinating.

"It's just, Your Majesty, this trade..." Jing Taihui didn't forget that the border was still fighting.

"Everyone, don't worry. There is no news from the Nation for the time being, but the Nation and the Nation have promised to come to our dynasty to discuss business and other matters after the Spring Festival. At that time, the five major families will appear as the kings and merchants." Zhu Qingyu threw out another A reassurance.

This time, the patriarchs of the five major families felt at ease.

Just when Jing Taihui wanted to sign the contract, Jing Chenxiang stopped his father.

After Taihui was surprised, he asked in a low voice: "What? Is there something wrong with this contract?"

Jing Chenxiang shook his head at his father, but walked to the center, and said to Zhu Qingyu in the hall: "Your Majesty, I think this contract is very good, but it is not strong enough."

"Oh?" Zhu Qingyu looked at the contract nervously, but couldn't see where it was not strong enough, "Then how does Ai Qing think it is strong enough?"

He wants to see where there is a problem, and if there is another problem, he must beat the system.This guy doesn't work all day long, just wants to sneak out to play, and now he can't even make a contract.

"I believe that marriage can only strengthen the contract." Jing Chenxiang said nonsense seriously, "I am Dikun, and I am willing to enter the harem for the family and give birth to offspring for your majesty."

Zhu Qingyu: "..."

Jing Taihui: "???"

Zero hiding on the beam: "!!!"
