Chapter 36 Hypocrisy
"How can this be?"
Fang Xuanling said to herself in despair, as an important official of the imperial court.
But when it comes to the problems of a wealthy family, they can't compare to a country man.
"Rengui, how's the soup going?"
I'm too lazy to continue arguing with them about these sterile topics.
Mu Jiuge turned around and asked.
"Sir, the soup stock has been cooked a long time ago, but I just don't know if it can meet your requirements."
Xue Rengui, who heard the shouting, hurriedly ran out of the house.
He was holding a big iron spoon in his hand. After seeing a few people, his expression became quite strange.
In his impression, these regular customers came here just to have a meal.
"It's not urgent. You go outside and get our money back."
Although 80,000 strings cannot satisfy my needs, flies are also meat.
Since the other party took the initiative to send the money, there is no reason to let others take it away.
"Okay, sir, I'll go right away!"
After Xue Rengui agreed, he put the big spoon aside and walked directly to the door.
"Mr. Mu, the weight of 80,000 yuan is not light. Are you sure you don't need to go out and help?"
After Changsun Wugou hesitated for a moment, he took the initiative to ask.
"Sir, are these just the boxes on the carriage?"
As soon as Changsun Wugou finished speaking, Xue Rengui's voice reached everyone's ears.
Then I saw this kid stacking four boxes together, raising one hand over his shoulder, and walked in very easily.
"Good strength!"
Li Er took a deep look at Xue Rengui and then said.
The person who can stay with this kid is definitely not an ordinary person.
Such an inconspicuous little guy has so much strength in his arms.
"Lao Li, I have received the money. You can go back and continue your work."
He originally planned to leave them here to eat beef together, but the butler's attitude made him very unhappy, so it was better for him to mind his own business.
"Don't worry. I think what you just said makes some sense. I think the details still need to be discussed carefully."
This little bastard has made it clear that he wants to eat beef. Now that he has encountered him, how could he leave so easily?
"Second Master is right. We misunderstood our little brother before, so it's better to ask clearly this time."
Changsun Wuji naturally knew what Li Er was thinking and hurriedly agreed.
"Second Master, he is killing the cow!"
Du Ruhui's face looked ugly. Your Majesty actually saw this kid violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty and did not stop him.
"If you have a strategy that can replenish the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and a suggestion that can increase grain production several times, I will let you kill cattle."
Li Er felt very angry, and the boy's suggestions made him gain great benefits for the court.
Until now, the imperial court has been unable to grant him any status, and it owes him a debt.
The most important thing, such a talented person, what's wrong with eating some beef?
Secondly, haven’t the documents regarding the death of this scalper been drawn up?
"Rengui, give this leg of beef to your mother and ask her to slice the meat as thin as possible."
Lao Li and his party refused to leave, and Mu Jiuge didn't have any good ideas.
He could only turn his attention to the ox again, and with the comments of a few people, he directly removed a leg of the ox and handed it to Xue Rengui.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
Seeing Mu Jiuge placing a large basin of fragrant hot soup on the table, Li Er asked curiously.
"Have a meal."
He looked at these people with disdain and refused to tell the purpose of staying here until now.
All pairs of eyes were staring at themselves and the soup on the table.
I almost didn’t ask if I could let someone try it.
"Master! Why don't we leave!"
This weird atmosphere made Fang Xuanling very uncomfortable.
Especially when the other party has no intention of retaining them.
If you stay here shamelessly like this, isn't it a joke?
"Shut up!"
Li Er glared at him fiercely.
If he had known this, he shouldn't have brought him here if he had no eyes.
"Mr. Mu, what's the point of putting these charcoal fires down there?"
Everyone who saw what this kid created was very confused.
In the end, Changsun Wugou couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked softly.
"Shabu-shabu is all about heat. If the stock cannot reach the desired temperature, how can the meat be cooked quickly?"
After placing the hot coals and opening the closed window, he responded.
Under the attention of several people, Mu Jiuge picked up a large piece of beef, rinsed it twice in the boiling hot soup, then put it into a bowl, dipped it in the prepared dipping sauce, and enjoyed it beautifully.
"Lao Li, I have prepared the things. As for whether you want to enjoy them together, that is your business."
Seeing several people looking at him eagerly, Mu Jiuge was speechless.
"You still know how to eat it. This is the first time for me to eat it this way."
As soon as Mu Jiuge finished speaking.
Li Er also started rinsing it in the same way.
The moment the piece of meat entered his mouth, his appetite was whetted.
"It's a pity that there are too few spices in Datang. Otherwise, the taste can definitely be improved a few levels."
While eating, he talked vaguely.
In order to make soup stock, he deliberately asked Xue Rengui to accompany him on a trip to the mountains, and then he reluctantly found something that could replace the spices.
"There is no way. The price of spices is too expensive. Apart from a family like yours, how many people in the entire Tang Dynasty can taste such delicious food?"
Li Er said sourly that he, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, looked extremely shabby in front of Mu Jiuge, let alone others.
"It's normal for spices to be expensive. After all, the current shipbuilding technology is really poor, otherwise."
At this point, Mu Jiuge reacted immediately and shut up in time. By accident, he almost leaked a huge piece of news.
"What else?"
Li Er seemed to have caught something and hurriedly asked.
"Otherwise, we can buy some spices from other places through maritime trade."
Mu Jiuge pretended to be depressed and tried to trick him into talking. It was too naive.
As long as it's something he doesn't want to say, he won't say it even if the other party offers benefits.
"Little brother, spices are so scarce. Even if you have money, it is quite difficult to buy this thing. It's better not to ask for too much."
Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly. He was a restaurant owner and he knew the value of spices better than anyone else.
"This is beef, Lao Li. Your two butlers are a little too hypocritical!"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have not spoken since they sat here cooking meat.
The speed at which the whirlwind chopsticks cook the meat is absolutely unparalleled.
"Little brother, what do you mean by this?"
Li Er is a little confused, isn't it just to eat a few pieces of your boy's meat?
As for targeting them like this?
"Ever since they entered the house, they have been targeting me for killing cattle and eating meat."
"I thought they were so noble and courageous."
"There was a whole plate of meat. I just ate three pieces, and the rest went into their stomachs."
"If they didn't eat a bite, maybe I could still give them a high look, but what they are doing now is a bit ridiculous."
