Seven or eight days passed like this, Wu Yingxiong was feeling relaxed and happy, but Chen Jinnan at the Tiandihui didn't wait until Wei Xiaobao came out of the palace to find him, so he suddenly felt a little anxious.

Chen Jinnan was in charge of the Tiandihui and was very busy in Japan because the matter of the 'Forty-Two Chapters' had been lingering in the capital for a long time. In addition, he also wanted to return to Taiwan as soon as possible to find out the past events! In desperation, he called

He asked Li Lishi to arrange for someone to enter the palace to deliver the message to Wei Xiaobao!

At this time, Wei Xiaobao had been promoted to the deputy director of the Shangshan Supervisor and had become a fifth-grade eunuch at a young age. Everyone in the palace fawned over him and gave him money. The princes and ministers in the court were also extremely affectionate when they met. From time to time,

Just secretly give Wei Xiaobao a banknote!

When it comes to his aptitude for studying and practicing martial arts, Wei Xiaobao is below the lower middle school level, but when it comes to this kind of corruption and sneaky business, Wei Xiaobao can be regarded as a genius among geniuses. When he was still in Yangzhou Lichun Academy, he was in Wei Xiaobao's fifth school.

When he was 18 years old, a prostitute gave him five cents and asked him to buy some peaches on the street. He used one cent to buy candies and ate them, then used the remaining four cents to buy peaches and gave them to the prostitute.

The prostitute didn't notice it and rewarded him with a peach.

From then on, in Wei Xiaobao's view, it was only natural that some money would be tainted by passing money. As for people now stuffing money into his pockets, Wei Xiaobao would not refuse anyone who came and put it all into his own pocket.

Wei Xiaobao's palace was very leisurely and comfortable, and there was a lot of money earned. As for the food, not to mention the food. As the deputy director of the Food and Beverage Supervisor, Wei Xiaobao would always let Wei Xiaobao taste the good food prepared by the imperial chef first!

As for Chen Jinnan, the troublemaker, he had long been forgotten by the Heaven and Earth Society and had gone to Java.

This morning, Wei Xiaobao was bored and decided to go to the imperial kitchen to inspect the kitchen. It was his duty to inspect the kitchen, but after going there twice at first, he felt that the kitchen was too smokey and the sound of cooking was noisy, so he didn't bother.

Go, whatever is delicious, the little eunuch in charge of the kitchen will be the first to bring it to him.

As Wei Xiaobao's immediate boss in the kitchen, as soon as he arrived in the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen from the eunuch on down was very busy. After waiting for Wei Xiaobao to sit down, he poured expensive tea, and then all kinds of dim sum dishes were served like a flowing table.

.

Wei Xiaobao ate a few pieces of dim sum and said: "The dim sum you make here is quite good, but it's best to find some Yangzhou cooks. I like to eat Yangzhou cuisine!"

The eunuch in charge of the kitchen said quickly: "Yes, yes, I will go and arrange to recruit some cooks from Yangzhou to the palace right away."

Wei Xiaobao saw that there was nothing going on in the kitchen and was about to leave. At this time, the purchasing eunuch came in from outside, followed by a person holding a large scale in his hand. He nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes,

Whatever my father-in-law says, I will do it, and I guarantee that I won’t make a mistake.”

When Wei Xiaobao saw this person, he was a little surprised. This person holding a large scale seemed to have been seen in heaven and earth before.

Seeing his immediate boss sitting in the room, the purchasing eunuch hurriedly ran up to Wei Xiaobao to say hello.

Wei Xiaobao pointed to the person holding the scale and asked, "Who is this person?"

The purchasing eunuch smiled and said: "This man is the boss of Qian Xinglong Meat Shop in Beicheng. He delivers pork to the palace. The guy who usually delivers the pigs has been sick these days, so he has been the one delivering more than a dozen mouthfuls of meat every day lately."

Bring the pigs to the palace." He turned to Boss Qian and said: "Old Qian, you are really lucky today. This Eunuch Gui is the director of our Shangri-La Supervisor, and the number one person in front of the emperor today.

Big red man. We are on duty in the palace, so we never get to see him. You must have knocked through the wooden fish in your previous life, and today you happened to meet Eunuch Gui."

When Boss Qian heard this, he knelt down, kowtowed to Wei Xiaobao a few times, and said, "This father-in-law is the bread and butter of Xiaobao. I just have the chance to meet you today. It's true that our ancestor named Qian has accumulated great virtue."

Boss Qian was indeed from the Tiandihui. When he finally saw Wei Xiaobao, he was extremely excited. He had accepted the task assigned to him by Li Lishi and delivered the message to Wei Xiaobao.

Although Boss Qian's shop delivers pork to the palace, how can it be so easy to find Wei Xiaobao? Every day when the pork is escorted into the palace, there are eunuchs and guards following him. Let alone looking for someone everywhere, it is just a wrong step.

I'm afraid you have to be careful about where you end up! The only thing that makes Boss Qian happy is that when Wei Xiaobao was apprenticed, he told Chen Jinnan all the details about himself, so Boss Qian easily found out that Wei Xiaobao is now the deputy director of Shangshan Supervision!

So Boss Qian personally escorted pork to the palace every day these days, hoping to see Wei Xiaobao when delivering the pork!

After sending pork for several days in a row, I finally saw Wei Xiaobao today. How could I not be excited? Boss Qian kowtowed and secretly made a gesture of heaven and earth to Wei Xiaobao! At the same time, he was thinking about how to convey the news to Wei Xiaobao, but he was so surprised.

According to the news from the chief helmsman, Wei Xiangzhu is not illiterate, otherwise it would be easy to slip a note or something here! Boss Qian thought of the fat pigs in his pigsty again, and suddenly his eyes rolled.

Got an idea!

At this time, Wei Xiaobao looked at Boss Qian's gesture, his heart skipped a beat, and said to himself: "He is really a member of the Tiandihui, and he seems to be here to find me. I don't know what it is. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to the kitchen today!"

I was thinking this in my heart, but said in my mouth: "Get up, no need to be polite."

Boss Qian stood up, with a smile on his face, and said politely: "Fortunately, the father-in-laws in the palace take care of the trumpet business, so that I can slaughter pigs for the emperor and the Belles. It is a great honor. Others heard that even

Even the emperor eats the meat offered by Xiao Hao. The pork of Xiao Hao is naturally the best in the world, and no one else can compare with it. Therefore, Qian Xinglong only served meat for more than a year when he was enshrined in the palace, but his business has actually increased several times. This is all

I rely on my father-in-law to cultivate me." As he spoke, he nodded and bowed again and again.

Wei Xiaobao nodded and thought: "You are talking so much, you must have something to tell me!" Wei Xiaobao actually doesn't want to be in charge of the Tiandihui, but one is that Wei Xiaobao prides himself on being very loyal and extremely face-saving; the other is

I still have some heroic dreams.

So he smiled and said: "Then you must be very rich!"

Boss Qian said: "Thank you for your great blessing, my father-in-law." He took out two banknotes from his arms and said with a smile: "It's a little trivial but not a sign of respect. Please keep it for your father-in-law to reward!" He said and gave it away with both hands.

into the hands of Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao took it and looked at it. Each bank note was 500 taels, totaling 1,000 taels. He thought to himself, "Is selling pork to the palace so profitable?" He then looked at Boss Qian and pointed his mouth at the eunuch next to him.

Wei Xiaobao understood what he meant at a glance, so he said with a smile: "Boss Qian is so polite!" He handed the two banknotes to the eunuch who was responsible for the value, and said: "Boss Qian's respect, you can just take it and share it with me. No need."

Share it with me."

All the eunuchs were overjoyed when they saw that it was a thousand taels of silver. Merchants who offered pigs, sheep, beef, chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables to the palace would usually give kickbacks, and they would also pay tribute during the holidays, but the total all year round was not much.

It was four to five hundred taels. Among them, the chief eunuch of Shang Shanfang would divide half first, and the rest would be divided among the eunuchs according to their status. Now seeing that there was a lot of money, Wei Xiaobao said he didn't want it. If he shared it, wouldn't it be a small sum?

A small bet for a windfall?

Boss Qian said again: "Eunuch Gui, it is really rare for you to be so considerate and considerate to our father-in-laws. If you refuse to accept the gift, I will feel uneasy. After all, the small house can only raise two poria and carved pigs, which are extremely valuable.

I'll kill it later and take one bite to honor the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and take the other one to Gui Gong's room and ask the father-in-law to taste it carefully."

Wei Xiaobao asked curiously: "What's Poria cocos and carved pig? It has a weird name, I've never heard of it!"

Boss Qian said: "This is a secret method passed down from Xiaoxiao's ancestors. After weaning pigs from well-bred pigs, they feed them poria, dangshen, wolfberry and other tonics. Except for the tonics, the feed only contains eggs, and they only drink it."

Huadiao wine..."

Before he finished speaking, the eunuchs next to him laughed and said, "How can there be such a way to feed pigs? Doesn't it cost hundreds of taels to fatten up a pig?"

Boss Qian said: "The capital is certainly not small, but the most difficult thing is the hard work and hard work."

Wei Xiaobao knew that this man wanted to say something to him, but this was not the place to talk, so he used this method, so he said: "Okay, you must try this strange pig."

Boss Qian asked: "I wonder when Eunuch Gui will be free this afternoon. I will deliver it on time."

Wei Xiaobao thought about going to the study to wait on Xiao Guizi later. It was almost noon, so he said: "It's already the beginning of the afternoon, you can bring it here!"

Boss Qian quickly said: "Yes, yes!" He invited a few more people and went out. The eunuch on duty accompanied him and said with a smile: "Eunuch Gui, please don't mention this matter when you meet the emperor later."

Wei Xiaobao asked curiously: "Why?"

The eunuch on duty said: "Your Majesty is young and curious. He heard about such strange Poria and Flowered Carved Pigs. If you order them to be tasted, such pigs that have been fed with great pains are not often available. If so,

The emperor has eaten to satisfy his appetite and issued an imperial edict, ordering the royal kitchen to serve them every day. Where can we go to find such precious pigs every day?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Sure enough, the eunuchs in the palace don't have many fuel-efficient lamps!" He burst into laughter and said: "You are thoughtful, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are extremely wise, how could this happen?

So unreasonable? You are thinking too much!"

The eunuch in charge quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes."

At the beginning of the afternoon, Wei Xiaobao came down from serving Kangxi in the study room, and then went to the imperial dining room. Not long after waiting, Boss Qian took four waiters, followed by the eunuchs, and arrived carrying two big fat pigs that had been washed cleanly.

He estimated that the meat was about three hundred kilograms, and said to Wei Xiaobao: "Eunuch Gui, if you get up early in the morning, it will be most beneficial to eat this Poria and Flower Diao Pig. It is best if it is freshly cut and roasted. The villain will bring a bite of the pig to you.

In your old man's room, he can cut it and roast it tomorrow morning. If you don't finish it, you can order the kitchen to make bacon."

Wei Xiaobao knew that Boss Qian wanted to talk to him alone, so he said: "You are thoughtful. Then come with me."

Boss Qian left one naked pig in the kitchen and carried the other to Wei Xiaobao's house. Wei Xiaobao's residence was not far from the imperial kitchen. After carrying the fat pig into the room, Wei Xiaobao ordered the young eunuch to lead the two men who carried the pig.

Waiting in the kitchen, after the three people left, they closed the door.

Boss Qian then clasped his fists and said in a low voice: "The earth shakes the mountains, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful for eternity."

This was the first time for Wei Xiaobao to see the incision in Ziru Tiandi Hui. He found it quite interesting and hurriedly said: "The door faces the sea, and the three rivers merge and flow for thousands of years."

Boss Qian asked again: "Which one is next to the Honghua Pavilion?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Qingmu Hall."

Boss Qian asked again: "How many incense sticks are burning in the hall?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Five pillars of incense."

Boss Qian then bowed to Wei Xiaobao again and said, "My boss, Mr. Qian, is here to see Master Wei Xiang!"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, don't be too polite! But your name is quite strange, Boss Qian~Laoben Qian! No wonder you got rich!"

Qian Laoben said hurriedly: "Wei Xiangzhu is joking!"

Wei Xiaobao was too lazy to be polite to Mr. Qian and asked, "Why did you work so hard to find this place?"

Boss Qian's voice lowered a little and asked: "Master Wei Xiang, is it safe here?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "I'm only concerned about this now. If there were any problems, you would have been gone long ago!" He then said, "This is my residence, it's very safe! If you have anything to do, just tell me immediately!"

Qian Laoben then said: "Master Wei Xiang, the chief rudder wants you to see him as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao felt depressed for no reason. He was looking for him so urgently at this time. He must have wanted to do something with him. He didn't want to go, and he thought: "We have already found this place. If we don't go, we will keep talking."

I'm looking for you! What if I get caught accidentally? Heaven and Earth will rebel against the Qing Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty. I am a big traitor. If Xiao Xuanzi finds out that I have contact with Heaven and Earth, it will be very bad!"

Wei Xiaobao thought for a while and said: "I understand, you go back first!"
