Yue Jiushao smiled nonchalantly and said, "Master Gu, the cuisine of our Dongqi Kingdom is ahead of that of Dashun Kingdom."
Gu Beiheng raised an eyebrow in disbelief, pointed at the style of the simmered mandarin duck hotpot on the table and asked, "Are you sure you guys at Dongqi really have this? If it's really an antique soup, then it wouldn't be surprising. We have plenty of antique soups in Dashun."
After a pause, Gu Beiheng explained with rare interest:
"We'll eat hot pot here later. Let me show you what hot pot is."
After saying that, he glanced at Yue Jiushao.
Yue Jiushao didn't say anything more.
He also noticed that it seemed to be different from the antique soup.
The smell was very special, so special that it made his nose itch constantly.
I couldn't help but sneeze several times.
His handkerchief was stained in two places, causing the people around him to look at him like a monkey.
It was as if he was a mountain monkey from the mountains.
Gu Beiheng was very happy. He felt great when he saw the effeminate Yue Jiushao being humiliated.
I waved to the shopkeeper Gu to come over and serve a double-flavored hotpot with meat, fish balls and meatballs, as well as some vegetables that cannot be found anywhere else.
Tofu skin and frozen tofu are not available anywhere else.
Su Qi also taught Xia He the method of making bean curd sheets.
Xia He ruined more than ten pounds of soybeans before making bean curd sheets.
According to the methods in a large book with missing parts in the space given by Su Qi, Gu Beiheng copied a whole book of secret recipes.
Scared, Xia He looked up several secret recipes overnight and quickly hid the recipe. The place where it was hidden was very secret, so Xia He searched for it for more than ten days but still couldn't find it.
Still searching...
She didn't dare ask Gu Beiheng to copy another one, and she almost turned the house upside down.
If she can’t find it, Xia He is really going to tear down the house…
(〃艸〃)
There are methods for making mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts and peanut sprouts.
Among them, soybean sprouts and peanut sprouts are the best for hot pot.
The hot pot is here.
Does Yue Jiushao already know the difference?
The base material is different.
Antique soup has only one flavor.
The two shuangyuan hotpots chosen by Gu Beiheng were one with spicy flavor and the other with tomato soup base.
Both soup bases are red, but the taste is very different.
Yue Jiushao took a bite and it was so spicy that he almost swallowed his tongue. He suddenly drank a cup of delicious soy milk, which had a slightly icy taste.
"I can't eat this. How can this be eaten by humans?" Yue Jiushao's scalp felt numb, and his tongue and lips kept dancing due to the stimulation of the peppercorns.
My scalp was almost blown off, and that force seemed to want to burst out of my scalp and rush into the sky like a monkey performing a somersault cloud.
He looked at Su Qi and Gu Beiheng again, and they were eating so happily.
Gu Beiheng smiled contemptuously and pointed at the bottom of the tomato pot and said:
"This is the favorite soup base of my eldest and second babies. You can have this."
Yue Jiushao pinched his eyebrows.
Damn.
This idiot is definitely taking advantage of the situation; he just has no evidence.
After taking a bite of the mutton slices cooked in tomato soup base, Yue Jiushao found that the tomato soup base was delicious.
But compared to the spicy hot pot base, it seems like something is missing?
I couldn't help but take another bite of the meat in the spicy hot pot, and then drank a cup of soy milk in big gulps.
After several rounds of this.
Yue Jiushao began to monopolize the spicy hot pot base and ate it without any image.
There just weren't enough handkerchiefs for him to blow his nose.
Gu Beiheng looked at him with disdain and ordered the shop boy to bring two new handkerchiefs.
Yue Jiushao gratefully took the handkerchief and started blowing his nose again...
The last vegetables are eaten by dipping them in the tomato pot.
Absolutely delicious.
Yue Jiushao rubbed his round belly and sighed with satisfaction. "This thing is really suitable for the northern winter. It's so delicious."
"How does it compare to Dongqi's antique soup?"
Yue Jiushao frowned, a plan coming to mind. He forced a smile, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, are you interested in opening a store together?"
"No." Gu Beiheng answered first.
Su Qi put down the chopsticks in her hand. She was very interested in the cooperation with Yue Jiushao.
She is the only one who has peppercorns.
Even if it is planted on the farm in the future, the quantity will not be large.
There are too few wild peppercorns, and the taste is slightly different from those in the space.
Yue Jiushao's face froze. He was sure that Gu Beiheng was sick.
It must be a serious illness, otherwise why would he be so troubled with money.
Or are you just being hard on yourself?
"Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu. There are many rich people in Dongqi Country. If you cooperate with me to open a store, money will flow to you like water in the future." Major General Yue Jiu's eyes fell on Su Qi.
Su Qi calculated in her mind that it was indeed a good deal.
"How do we cooperate?" Su Qi secretly pinched Gu Beiheng's fingers under the table.
Gu Beiheng's rebellious nature was subdued and he didn't say anything in rebuttal.
Yue Jiushao thought about it and finally decided to cooperate with the Gu family in his own name to open a brand new store in Dongqi Country.
To distinguish it from Yue family's antique soup.
It was considered Yue Jiushao's personal shop. "How about we split the profits 50-50?" Yue Jiushao considered the proposal again and again.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"That's fine. But some things have to be purchased from our Gu's grocery store. As for the methods of making some foods?" Su Qi said slowly.
Yue Jiushao smiled and took over the conversation, "Of course you have to pay for it, and it won't be sold outside the hot pot restaurant. If it is sold elsewhere, I must obtain your consent, and the profit will also be counted towards the hot pot restaurant."
"Young Master Jiu is indeed a straightforward person." Su Qi smiled and clapped her hands.
Yue Jiushao had not expected that this casually proposed cooperation would enable him to deal with family struggles in the future.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng just came out of the hot pot restaurant.
They met Yao Zhubu, and it was obvious that Yao Zhubu came here specifically to wait for the couple.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, please excuse me for a moment." Yao Zhubu glanced at Yue Jiushao who was standing behind the two of them and suggested calmly.
The corners of Yue Jiushao's eyes moved slightly, and his phoenix eyes became more beautiful.
Her slender fingers gathered the stray hair from her forehead, and she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, "I'm going to go to the dock first to take a look. I'll go back to Mengjiazhuang with your Mu Chentao later."
Yue Jiushao remembered that the serious man seemed to be called this name.
"That's fine." Su Qi nodded.
The two of them followed Yao Zhubu back to Gu's Hotpot Restaurant and came to the private room on the third floor.
There is a private room on the third floor reserved for Gu Beiheng and Su Qi, which also leads directly to the backyard.
"Manager Gu, bring three cups of tea to the private room. And two plates of snacks." Su Qi went to the third floor and instructed Gu Beiyang.
"Okay, I'll prepare it right away." Gu Beiyang turned and went downstairs.
The three of them sat in the private room and hadn't spoken yet.
The waiter knocked on the door and brought in tea and snacks. Su Qi coldly ordered the waiter, "No need to leave anyone at the door. Arrange someone to watch the corner and don't let anyone come over."
"Yes, ma'am." The waiter bowed and agreed and walked out.
Yao Zhubu looked a little confused, as if he had something to hide.
Su Qi raised a meaningful smile and tapped the table lightly with the fingers of her right hand.
"Master Yao, please speak directly. Since you've come to us, you're definitely going to do more than just chat with us."
Yao Zhubu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Mrs. Gu is quite the talker." His smile faded. "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu. Do you remember how Yun County didn't follow Jinyang Prefecture's instructions and focused solely on providing relief to the disaster victims?"
Su Qi raised her eyes and asked, "Are we going to settle the score later?"
"I'm afraid our County Magistrate Zhou is about to face disaster. Prefect Zhang sent someone to reprimand County Magistrate Zhou and even entered the county government office, saying someone had reported County Magistrate Zhou for accepting bribes and misappropriating the county's grain reserves for personal gain."
Yao Zhubu held the teacup tightly in his hand, and his voice trembled unconsciously.
If these crimes are investigated.
I'm afraid that County Magistrate Zhou has been beheaded.
Don’t say there is no evidence, the evidence is all man-made.
"I have discussed this with County Magistrate Lin, and now I need to consult with you two. Let's see if we can find a foolproof solution." As Yao Zhubu spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Su Qi and Gu Beiheng.
Gu Beiheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yao Zhubu up.
Officials like Zhou Hua'an are a blessing to the people.
He also couldn't bear to see Zhou Hua'an being convicted of a false charge.
"Master Yao, this happened suddenly, so please allow me to discuss this in detail. Please explain the whole story clearly, including who filed the complaint. Since you mentioned accepting bribes, who was the person who offered the bribe?"
Gu Beiheng sat back and looked at Su Qi.
Both of them seemed to be determined to deal with the matter.
"And who is coming from Jinyang Prefecture to investigate this matter?" Su Qi narrowed her eyes. "We still have to go to Yun County."
