The general's wife is sick

Ji Liu walked around the restaurant, the decoration style of the restaurant was basically similar to that of later restaurants.But the things that can be used in ancient times are limited, it is difficult to completely create a magnificent and beautiful environment, but things usually have two sides, also because this is ancient times, carved beams and painted columns in restaurants, carved patterns on all table and chair decorations, The craftsmanship is superb, and with the soft decoration, the style of the entire restaurant is instantly improved.

To be honest, Ji Liu was very satisfied that Xu Fan and Tang Junyi could copy their homework like this. I can only say that Tang Junyi is trustworthy in other things except for his unreliable mouth.

"After two days of snowing, the restaurant will open. Now that the door is closed due to heavy snow, people can't go out for a long time. We must let them have a first impression of this place that is different from other restaurants as soon as they step in."

Tang Junyi's flattery followed immediately, "You're right, I'm so suffocated at home, come out and have a good meal!"

Xu Fan asked at this time, "Brother Ji, is the name of the restaurant ready?"

"It's fixed, Bazhenju! After the snow stops, someone will deliver the plaque."

Bazhen Jade Food, taken from Volume [-] of Jin Dong Jieyuan's "Romance of the West Chamber Zhugong Tiao": "Bazhen Jade Food invites a man to have a meal, and a thousand words are for business." It means exquisite delicacies.

"Good name!"

Ji Liu didn't take Tang Junyi's flattery at all, "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts, and I can share all the recipes with you for free, but every time you open a restaurant, as long as you sell dishes made of chili peppers, I need to smoke [-]% profit."

Tang Junyi choked in his throat, "Our friendship in the same bed, in exchange for your so disregarding demands?"

Xu Fan patted him on the back, he didn't like the words "sharing the same bed": "Twenty percent is already very little."

Tang Junyi pushed him away, and when it came to money, he was more serious than anyone else, "Then how do you settle accounts with my seeds?"

Ji Liu was unmoved, "If you hadn't provided the seeds, I would have charged you [-]% of the profits."

With a roll of his eyes, Tang Junyi's face changed like turning over a book. If it wasn't for Ji Liu knowing that "pepper" can cook, he would still appreciate these seeds as potted plants, and it would be a waste of the way to make money, compared to only [-]% For profit, he puts more emphasis on big things, "That's it! Xu Fan, teach me well!"

On the way back, Xiong Jinghai wrapped Ji Liu tightly in his arms with a cloak, and the two of them pressed their fronts together, and Ji Liu buried his head in his chest. On the back of the horse in the wind and snow, Xiong Jinghai asked, "Why do you only need two become?"

Based on his understanding of Ji Liu, he loves money so much, he should want more.

Ji Liu hugged Xiong Jinghai's waist tightly, feeling the warmth under his cloak in the wind and snow, "Do you know what kind of existence Tang Junyi's Tang family is in the south?"

"The Tang family?" Xiong Jinghai thought for a moment, "I don't know."

Ji Liudao, "You are away all the time, so you don't know the details of the Tang family, but when I was young, the Tang family was the imperial merchant appointed by the emperor. I just think he is the most business-minded person in this generation."

After a while of galloping horseshoes, Xiong Jinghai carried Ji Liu off the horse, and the guard at the porter immediately came over to lead the horse into the stable.

Entering the corridor, although the wind and snow were heavy, the walls of the courtyard blocked most of the wind and snow, and the snow falling into the courtyard was much smaller.

Ji Liu patted his hand, motioning for Xiong Jinghai to let him down, but Xiong Jinghai said, "It's only a few steps away, you continue talking."

Ji Liu, who was at ease, continued, "The Tang family's property involves various aspects. Think about it, if I just opened my mouth and asked for too much, Tang Junyi felt that the deal was not worth it, and then asked Xu Fan to steal the recipes, what would you do? ?”

"kill him!"

"..." Ji Liu slapped him again, "Sometimes force can't solve everything. The Tang family's status in the south can be said to be stomping, and everyone has to follow suit. Such a behemoth opened a restaurant, I charge [-]% of the profit from each dish, which seems small, but it is enough for Tang Junyi to vomit blood once. In the future, not only the private schools in Qizhou will be exempted from all fees, but even Yuzhou will be able to Take it with you!"

Xiong Jinghai laughed, "I knew I shouldn't worry about you, but I can't help it."

"As long as I don't want to, no one can give me a penny!" Ji Liu raised his head with a proud face.

It was rare to see Ji Liu so happy, Xiong Jinghai's chest shook, and he was in a happy mood, "Let's eat rabbit meat tonight, I can see that the rabbits in your rabbit farm are getting whiter and fatter."

"It's hard to find fodder in winter, so please let my rabbit go."

The couple went into the room talking and laughing.

Cheng Cheng came out of the West Wing, and happened to see Xiong Jinghai carrying Ji Liu back to the room. His face was burned red by the high heat of the West Wing.

The whole ball was covered with snowballs, and Zhu Changyuan came behind him at some point, "Not feeling well?"

Cheng Cheng turned his head, his face was red, as beautiful as a red cloud.

"No, it's just that the room is too hot, take some snow to cool down."

Zhu Changyuan stared at him, with unknown emotions flashing in his eyes, his heart was in turmoil by his staring eyes, and the white snow on his hand melted into water due to the temperature of his palm.

"Brother Zhu?"

"It's okay, take care of yourself and don't just focus on those peppers."

"Brother Zhu, the young master trusts me to entrust such important things to me. I will take good care of them!"

Zhu Changyuan sighed slightly, he stretched out his hand to touch Cheng Cheng's face, whether this round red face was as hot and smooth as he imagined, the moment he just stretched out his hand.

"Ingredients! Ingredient!"

Cheng Cheng turned his head, Zhu Changyuan quickly withdrew his arm, it was Chen Guan who came back from outside the residence.

"What's the matter, Brother Chen?"

"There is something urgent, can the general go home?"

"Together with Madam, just returned to the room."

Before the couple had reached a definite conclusion on what to have for dinner, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Guan's voice came from outside the door, "General, a secret message from the capital."

Ji Liu and Xiong Jinghai looked at each other, opened the door, and Chen Guan delivered the letter, "Besides the letter, the emperor also has an oral order."

"Say!"

"The willow leaves are all over the sky, far away among the white clouds."

Ji Liu was confused, closed the door, and Xiong Jinghai opened the letter. He asked, "The emperor is so interested that he spread a poem all the way?"

"No, it means that we should prepare well and wait for the opportunity."

Ji Liu suddenly realized that this was the code word he taught Xiong Jinghai at the beginning, but he never thought that he could persuade the emperor to use it too, it's really something for a child to teach!

"Waiting for the opportunity, has the situation in the capital changed?"

The husband and wife read the letter together, and Xiong Jinghai crumpled the letter paper into a ball, "The Northwest is a place of bitter cold, and the soldiers of the Northwest are gathered little by little. I grew up in the Northwest, and no one knows better than me how difficult it is for the Northwest Army to grow. Now the Queen Mother If you say anything, you have to mobilize 5 people to Cheng Rulin, which is obviously to weaken my military strength."

"So, what are you going to do?"

Since the turmoil in Yuzhou, Ji Liu knew that Xiong Jinghai had become a general at such a young age, not because he had a noble princess mother and a general father with extraordinary martial arts, but because of his own talent, this man is very good at The army has a natural sensitivity to the current situation, and the so-called extraordinary talent refers to people like Xiong Jinghai.

"Give it to him if you want it!" Xiong Jinghai gritted his teeth, "I just want to give him all the people I trust the most in the first direct line, and I want to see if he dares to use it!"

Ji Liu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He pulled Xiong Jinghai's head down and kissed it fiercely, "Use it well, maybe it will be General Cheng who will have a headache next."

It's cheap to have it delivered to your door, Xiong Jinghai always eats more and takes more. He hugged Ji Liu tightly, and his parted lips pressed together again.

As the temperature in the room rose, Ji Liu maintained his rationality and distanced the two of them. Although the heavy snow was fine, he didn't want to roll on the bed while talking, "It seems that General Cheng is the empress dowager."

"He has always been." Xiong Jinghai explained, "His first wife is the daughter of Zhao Yongnian's protégé, and he remarried again. There is a difference between the two."

"A tree of pear blossoms crushes crabapples! Don't be ashamed to be old! Prime Minister Zhao really likes to borrow flowers and present Buddhas in order to win people over."

If you really want to win over, you can send your own daughter out, and send someone else's daughter to achieve your goal. Even if this student loses his beautiful daughter, even if he doesn't say it, maybe he doesn't hate him in his heart?

It seems that Prime Minister Zhao's relationship with China is not as stable as it seems.

Xiong Jinghai said, "In any case, we should make preparations in advance, maybe there will be an edict asking us to return to Beijing at some point."

"It doesn't matter if you go back to Beijing, it's just that I have just started everything here." Ji Liu was a little lonely.

"One day we will come back." Xiong Jinghai comforted him, "Great changes have taken place in Fuzhou and Yingkou today. I know what you are capable of. You were just dragged down by Zhanqi and the others. The situation in the capital is unpredictable now. , we just need to make preparations, and you continue to arrange people to do the rest."

"No, brother Yan is in trouble!" Ji Liu suddenly thought of something and said loudly.

The emperor's letter only said that the general's mansion made the queen mother angry, but Ji Liu carefully thought about it, other than the queen mother bestowing Yan Bao to Xiong Zhengli in the past few months, what else could happen that would suddenly break the usual peaceful relationship.

"Have you heard from my mother recently?"

"No, on weekdays, even if there is a letter from the capital, it will be sent back to the mansion. If you haven't received it, I won't even see it."

Ji Liu regretted that he had been dazzled by the joy of getting pepper recently, and he didn't realize that there had been no letter from Beijing for a long time.

"I wrote to ask Mother and Earl Yan. It just so happened that the rabbit fur cloak and woolen blanket have been finished, so Xueting asked them to send them to the capital."

Xiong Jinghai asked, "If one day we really return to the capital, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Ji Liu looked up at him with doubts in his eyes, "What?"

"Just like the current iron beast, there is an invincible method."

With a "thud" in his heart, Ji Liu laughed, "Shouldn't you ask Master about this kind of thing, what can I do here?"

Xiong Jinghai's eyes were burning, Ji Liu looked at this face, and sighed slightly in his heart, and he replied with a correct tone, "Yes, but the casualties of the common people may be great."

Xiong Jinghai hugged him, "Small area?"

"It can be big or small."
