It's best to keep the relationship between brothers clean. Don't have any inappropriate thoughts, let alone sleep or add money.

When chatting with someone like Gu Qing, one has to forgive him a hundred times every moment before continuing the conversation.

On the other hand, if someone has a bad temper, the chat will escalate directly to a fight, or a one-sided beating.

As a chivalrous woman who upholds justice and rejoices in vengeance, Zhang Huaiyu cannot wrong herself. She can skip meals, but she must not stay angry overnight.

So Zhang Huaiyu rushed forward and hit Gu Qing on the chest with small fists, so hard that Gu Qing almost suffered a recurrence of internal injuries.

"Zhang Huaiyu, you have changed..." Gu Qing covered his chest and said bitterly: "In the past, you only hit the cook after you had eaten. Now you hit the cook without even eating. I think the boat of our friendship may be leaking."

"You have to pay the price for being mean-mouthed." Zhang Huaiyu said coldly.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison the food?"

"You can try."

Gu Qing stopped talking.

It is said that there is a kind of flower named "Mandala", which is native to Tianzhu and is also found in the Tang Dynasty. The main ingredients of "Ma Fei San" made by Hua Tuo during the Three Kingdoms and the Mongolian sweat medicine in "Water Margin" of the Song Dynasty are Mandarin.

Duoluo is equivalent to anesthetic. Gu Qing thought he could try making it if he had the opportunity, and then teach Zhang Huaiyu a valuable practical lesson, letting her know how dangerous the world is.

It would be so cool to turn her over, then take out her waistband and use it as a slingshot to hit sparrows.

When the beef was marinated, Gu Qing started a fire and poured soybean oil into the pot. After the oil boiled, he put the beef into the pot and stir-fried. Finally, he threw in the green onion, ginger, garlic and wild vegetables, added some water, covered the pot and simmered for a while. After removing the pot, there was a thick aroma.

The aroma is tangy.

After taking the pot and putting it on the table, Zhang Huaiyu's nose twitched and his eyes lit up. He eagerly raised his chopsticks to taste the taste. Gu Qing sat opposite her, looked at her, and said with a smile: "How does it taste?"

Zhang Huaiyu didn't say anything, but he took the beef with chopsticks one after another and answered his question perfectly.

“How about braised fish?”

"Each one has its own merits, but they are all delicious." Zhang Huaiyu spared no effort to save food for himself. Thinking that he had just beaten the cook in front of him, which seemed to be detrimental to his future career in cooking, Zhang Huaiyu obediently served Gu Qing a bowl of rice.

Although there was only one dish, the portion was very large, and the two of them engrossed themselves in eating.

After finishing the second bowl of rice, Zhang Huaiyu filled the third bowl and finally slowed down, his movements gentle and graceful, like a cat lazily licking its fur in the sun.

"Has the porcelain kiln matter been resolved?" Zhang Huaiyu asked softly.

"It's almost done. I think it will be almost done in a few days."

"How to solve it?"

"Let the two shopkeepers take people to Shuzhou City to do something..."

Zhang Huaiyu stopped eating and looked at him in surprise: "You... are so courageous. If you dare to cause trouble in Shuzhou City, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Governor's Office?"

"Listen clearly, it's 'making trouble', not 'making trouble'. There is an essential difference between the two."

"What's going on?"

Gu Qing raised his head and glanced at her, then immersed himself in eating: "You can't say it, it won't work if you say it."

Zhang Huaiyu snorted: "After spending so much effort, I might as well fix a book and all the troubles will be solved."

"I only believe in myself."

Shuzhou City.

In the flower hall with two entrances next to the governor's office, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing sat kneeling side by side behind a low table. Opposite them sat a green-robed official in his forties. He was the governor of Shuzhou governor's office.

His Sigong joined the army and his name was Yuan Suixiang.

It is not easy to meet this sixth-grade official. The county magistrate disdains his identity as a businessman, let alone the officials of the governor's office.

However, money is a good thing. Not all officials in the Tang Dynasty were as incorruptible as Huang Wenjin. In fact, most officials could not refuse money.

With a generous meeting gift and an introduction from a junior civil servant, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing met Yuan Suixiang smoothly.

There were only three people in the flower hall. They had been sitting there for more than half an hour, and they had talked nonsense for more than half an hour. They talked about everything from the weather to the customs and customs of Shuzhou, as well as the affairs of various Zhangtai Liuguan. Until the end, the three of them felt that they were

When I ran out of nonsense about inventory, I slowly got down to business.

Shi Daxing took out a wooden box from under the table and opened it in front of Yuan Suixiang. Inside the wooden box were three silver cakes, each weighing twenty taels.

A total of sixty taels of silver cake, which is considered a huge sum of money according to the current purchasing power of the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Suixiang, who had been reserved and arrogant as an official just now, his eyes lit up after seeing the silver cake, and his hand stroking his beard trembled slightly.

Hao Donglai's fat face was full of smiles, and he looked very honest and cute, like a sacrificial pig's head with a smile on his face in front of his ancestor's memorial tablet.

"Yuan Gongcao, a little thought is not disrespectful. Please accept it with a smile." Hao Donglai nodded and bowed, with a flattering expression that disgusted Shi Daxing next to him.

Yuan Suixiang tried his best to maintain the official's calm dignity and said calmly: "I generally understand what you are asking for, but... I may not be able to push it forward alone. There are many officials in the governor's office, and I can't do it alone."

It’s hard to support a tree alone.”

Hao Donglai smiled and said: "How dare the ordinary people embarrass Yuan Gongcao? Don't worry, the ordinary people have backup plans."

"What back-up plan?"

"This time the grassroots came to Shuzhou, they also brought nearly 200 accounting clerks from our two shops. They can gather in front of the Governor's Mansion early tomorrow morning..."

Yuan Suixiang was a little nervous: "You guys... don't make mistakes! Can a place like the Governor's Mansion allow you to do whatever you want?"

"Yuan Gong Cao has wronged the common people to death. Even if the common people have great courage, they don't dare to mess around in front of the governor's office. Don't worry, Cao Cao, we will only add fuel to the flames and will never cause trouble. With these two hundred

When people create momentum, Yuan Gongcao naturally goes with the flow when speaking in front of Governor Pei, and things will fall into place..."

Yuan Suixiang frowned. As an official, he resented being too involved with businessmen, especially in such shameful matters, but...the sixty-tael silver cake in front of him was still shining, and he really couldn't refuse it.

You can get sixty taels by passing a few words in front of Governor Pei, not to mention there are more than 200 people outside the governor's office to add fuel to the flames. I am just following the public opinion, and the risk is naturally small enough to be ignored, so... sixty

Wouldn't it smell good to hold two silver cakes in your arms?

"It's just this once, I won't do it next time. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, please don't approach me." Yuan Suixiang said solemnly.

"Thank you very much for your meritorious service." Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing stood up and saluted him.

Stone Bridge Village.

One of the reasons why Xian Yu Zhongtong hadn't left yet was to wait for Mu Bin to study the sand table thoroughly. Another reason was that he wanted to know how Gu Qing would solve the problem in the porcelain kiln.

Can the combined power of a young peasant boy and two unscrupulous businessmen shake the government's decision? Xianyu Zhongtong was very curious, and actually quietly put himself into the role of Gu Qing. He thought about it and tried many ways.

Maybe, it's really impossible to solve the situation in front of you.

Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. The power of officials is sharper than swords. In front of officials, civilians are like unarmed children who will be chopped to pieces by swords at any time.
