The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 212 Gentleness
Chen Jingke didn't feel anything wrong after the violent talk, but in order to conform to the times, he deliberately emphasized the need to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Put loyalty to the emperor first, and think more about the emperor.

Seeing that the five people were calmed down by his words, they were very proud, and then he talked about the idea of ​​the people for the water, the army and the fish, and made them remember the bitterness and sweetness.

At the end of the class, he asked people to salute in the direction of the palace, and asked three questions:

"Who gave you everything?"

"Who is your allegiance to?"

"What if someone is unfaithful?"

This is to imitate the routine used by someone Yuan when he was training at a small station. It is to repeatedly brainwash the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, and it is done to appease Li Shimin.

All in all, his thought class was a complete hodgepodge of everything.

It wasn't until almost noon that he finally said, "Okay, you guys think about what I said carefully, and we'll continue the class tomorrow."

After speaking, he went back to his small courtyard for dinner.

What he didn't know was that his words were rushed to the palace as the highest level of information.

After having lunch under the thoughtful service of the two little maids, he lay down on the deck chair in the gazebo and dozed off, while waiting for the arrival of Cheng Huailiang and the others.

Two little maids were sitting next to him. Yuzhu put one foot by the beam behind the recliner, kicking it from time to time to keep the recliner swaying back and forth.

Yi Nu held a stick tied with a red ribbon at one end, and waved it from time to time, the ribbon fluttered to frighten away mosquitoes.

Smelling the faint fragrance from the side, and the faint buzzing of insects in his ears, Chen Jingke fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Yi Nu took out the prepared blanket and covered him, and the movement of driving away the mosquitoes was also much lighter.

About half an hour later, he woke up under the action of his biological clock.

Just closing his eyes like this, sniffing the faint fragrance coming from beside him, he said lazily: "Yi Nu, what time is it?"

Yi Nu whispered: "It should be three quarters before the end of the hour."

"Yeah." He responded lightly and continued to doze off.

The slight sound of footsteps gradually went away, and after a while, it sounded again and gradually approached, and finally stopped beside him.

"Really, I'll cleanse your face." Yi Nu exhaled softly.

"Ah."

There was a sound of water, and then a wet face towel gently covered the upper half of his face, and two small hands gently pressed through the face towel.

Forehead, eye sockets, bridge of the nose... You can tell from the skillful technique and moderate strength that you must do this frequently.

After pressing once without dead ends, the face towel was moved to the lower half of the face, and continued pressing.The reason why you don't directly cover your entire face is that covering your nose will affect your breathing.

This is not over yet, after wiping his face, he took off the face towel, washed it in water, and carefully cleaned his eyes again.

At this point the cleansing is complete.

Chen Jingke also woke up completely from drowsiness, opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful little face close at hand, his heart was filled with warmth.

Yi Nu showed a sweet smile and said, "My lord, you're awake."

Chen Jingke sighed: "Yi Nu, you will spoil me like this, and I find that I can't live without you more and more."

Yi Nu smiled and said, "I just want you to be reluctant to part with me, so that I can always stay by your side."

Chen Jingke said: "Okay, you two will serve me like this for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, the two girls showed happy smiles, as if this one sentence could be worth all their efforts.

Chen Jingke knew what they were thinking, but they were afraid of being abandoned one day.Especially after learning about Qingju's experience, he was even more worried.

In ancient times, it was very common for concubines and maidservants to accompany guests, and giving concubines to each other was also a form of courtesy.

If you don't want to fall to this point, you can only try your best to please the master, just like the two of them are doing now.

He has already given the promise that should be given, but this deep-rooted fear cannot be completely eliminated with words.

Even if they repeated it a hundred or a thousand times, they still couldn't completely dispel their worries.

But he would still repeat it again and again tirelessly, just because every time he said it, the two maids would feel at ease for a long time.

……

The three of Cheng Huailiang came very quickly, they arrived not long after he woke up.They are all acquaintances and have an extraordinary relationship. The four of them simply said hello and found a place to sit down.

Yuchi Xunyu couldn't wait to say: "Really, where did your lady Wu get the glass mirror? Is there any place to sell it?"

Chen Jingke smiled and said, "Why, do you want to buy it?"

Yuchi Xunyu sighed and said: "Hey, don't mention it, the mirror Wu Niangzi gave to my wife was taken away by my mother. She was depressed for many days, so I wanted to buy one for her."

The three people on the side shook their heads and were speechless, Chen Jingke could only say: "I can't buy it for the time being, but I still have a few noodles here. When you leave, take one to give to your sister-in-law."

As he spoke, he shouted into the room: "Yi Nu, go to Miss Wu and ask for a mirror."

"Here." Yi Nu responded and went out.

Yuchi Xunyu immediately turned his worry into joy and said, "It's still my brother who is interesting enough, then I will not be polite."

Cheng Huailiang said thoughtfully: "I've seen the mirror of the princess as well. It is indeed a rare treasure. I don't know where the real person bought it. If you can master the channel, it will be a profitable business."

Qin Huaidao also said: "My house is also regarded as forbidden by my wife, even I won't let me touch it. If you can master the channel, even if it is more expensive, you can still earn a lot of money."

Chen Jingke thought to himself, there really are no stupid people. The first thing everyone thinks of when they see the mirror is how to make a living. Unfortunately, they have no chance.

"Don't think about this business, the mirror was given by the palace."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately gave up their thoughts, they didn't have the guts to compete with the queen for business.

At this time, Chen Jingke smiled and said, "Why, did you give up so soon?"

The three of them were taken aback, Cheng Huailiang reacted the fastest, and said in surprise: "The real person has a solution?"

Chen Jingke said: "Don't think about doing mirror business in the Tang Dynasty, but if you have the ability, you can buy mirrors from your mother and sell them outside."

"It's not just mirrors, there are many kinds of glass in your mother's hand, including bowls, cups and bottles. As long as you have the ability to sell them outside, you don't have to worry about running out of goods if I'm here."

Qin Huaidao seemed to have thought of something, and said in surprise: "My lord, you don't mean that this glass is from the palace..."

Chen Jingke nodded and said: "This is still a secret right now, don't let it leak. If you really want to do this business, just follow what I said, and you can open up channels in advance."

"When the palace starts releasing goods, you can be one step ahead of others and make a lot of money."

Cheng Huailiang said unhappily: "What is yours, it's us, and if we have money, we will earn it together."

Yuchi Xunyu shouted: "Yes, we have the same blessings and share the same hardships, how can a profitable business leave you behind."

Chen Jingke retorted: "I understand the intentions of the three, but we are unable to build this kind of external sales channel by ourselves, we can only rely on the power of the family."

"Zixiaoguan's ability is limited. The innovation alone has given us no time to be distracted. We really don't have the ability to build any external sales channels, so we won't participate this time."

Qin Huaidao said: "That won't work. If you don't participate in this matter, what's the point of us doing it. In this way, Zixiao Temple only needs to pay for it. We will discuss with the adults about the channel, and we will give you dividends when the time comes."

Chen Jingke shook his head again and again and said, "That won't work. Family cooperation is different from cooperation between the four of us. We brothers don't have to worry about gains and losses. You have brothers and sisters in your family, so you have to consider their feelings."

Cheng Huailiang interjected: "The real person is too worried, how can friends be so fussy. If anyone in my family dares to be so short-sighted, the adults will immediately drive him out of the house."

"Also, who said that Zixiao Temple can't contribute? The glass output must not be high, who doesn't want a piece of the pie?"

"Wolves have more meat and less meat depends on who has a good relationship with the saint and the empress, so that they can get more meat. Who among us has a better relationship with you and the empress?"

"In the future, all the glass from the palace will depend on you. We can only sell the glass if you want it. Isn't this a contribution?"

Qin Huaidao clapped his hands and said: "Yes, that's it. Without glass, what's the use of our hard work to open up business routes? Zixiao Temple must participate."

Yuchi Xunyu hummed: "I don't know that much, but I know that if Zixiao Temple doesn't participate, Ah Weng will beat me half to death when I go back."

Chen Jingke was very moved, and he didn't refuse, saying: "Okay, since the three elder brothers said so, then I won't be hypocritical, and leave the purchase of goods to me in the future."

The four of them discussed how to sell glass, but they knew too little about foreign trade, so they didn't discuss the reason for a long time.

In the end, I have to admit that this matter must rely on the power of the family.

With this consensus, they changed the topic decisively and talked about the reason why Chen Jingke asked them to come here.

"I came here to ask you to find a few seasonings. These seasonings are very important. If we can find our dishes, we can take them to the next level."

Qin Huaidao said in surprise: "Really? What kind of seasoning, where can I find it?"

Cheng Huailiang and Yuchi Xunyu were equally excited.

The business of the four of them is a restaurant. Although there are only three restaurants, because the positioning is relatively high-end, it can be said that it is making money every day.

It's just that other people are not vegetarians, and they gradually figured out how to stir-fry vegetables, and developed many new tricks.

Now their biggest advantage is the signature dishes made by Chen Jingke, but these advantages are being pursued day by day.

This situation made Cheng Huailiang and the others very worried. Now that they have the opportunity to widen the gap again, they are naturally very interested.

Chen Jingke said: "One of them is cumin, which is an indispensable spice for barbecue. It grows in the Western Regions, and you can find it from Hu merchants."

"The second is shrimp skin, which is obtained from dried freshwater prawns in the sea area of ​​Qingzhou. This is the most fresh and can make dishes extremely delicious."

"The third is pepper, which is produced in the deep mountains and old forests of Shennongjia and Liuzhao. You can send people to Shennongjia to look for it first."
