my brother champion

Chapter 21 Waiting for you to reach my age!you will understand
"Why, it's not to your liking?" Pu Tian noticed the change in Huo Guang's eyes, and asked, "If it's not tasty, just say so!"

Unappetizing?
That's not the case!

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "No, this tastes good!"

Pu Tian nodded, then looked away, asked someone to cut a piece of meat for himself, and began to eat expressionlessly.

After eating, the servant at the side took out a silk-like handkerchief from his pocket, and consciously stepped forward to wipe his mouth.

The life of the owner is too comfortable, right?
"Since the taste is so good, why do you still look at me like that?" Pu Tian looked at Huo Guang at this time, his eyes were full of coldness.

like
Huo Guang's contemptuous gaze just now seemed to have offended his majesty.

However, Huo Guang said nonchalantly, "Delicious is delicious, but aren't you a roast suckling pig?"

"If you have to say it's the eight treasures of the Zhou Dynasty, I thought I had something good to eat."

Upon hearing this, Pu Tian was immediately displeased, and said, "Roast suckling pig? This is Zhou Bazhen, what kind of roast suckling pig!"

Roast suckling pig, in fact, also existed in the Han Dynasty.

For example, the king of Nanyue liked to roast suckling pig in an oven, which was also a major delicacy in the Western Han Dynasty.Of course, compared with the taste of modern roast suckling pig, it is far worse.

As for the porpoise?

It is not the same as roast suckling pig.

The biggest difference is reflected in the production method.First of all, Paofu needs to kill a piglet, take out the internal organs, fill the abdominal cavity with dates, then wrap the piglet with reeds, coat it with a layer of grassy mud, and cook it in a raging fire.

After that, peel off the mud, rub the wrinkled skin on the surface of the suckling pig with your hands, adjust it with rice flour to make a paste, and apply it all over the body.

This is not finished.

Later, a small cauldron filled with oil and water will be used to hold the suckling pig, and a large cauldron filled with water will be used to store the small cauldron.The water in the big tripod must not exceed the edge of the small tripod, otherwise the water will enter it and affect the taste.

In the end, it had to be boiled with fire for three days and three nights before the piglet could be taken out.

in this way!

A delicious Paofu can be considered complete.

You must know that in the Zhou Dynasty, this kind of delicacy could only be enjoyed during court feasts, and it was not something ordinary people could afford.

but now!

This delicacy was said by Huo Guang to be similar to roast suckling pig. How could Pu Tian not be annoyed by this?

pity!

Huo Guang didn't know what Pu Tian was thinking, he just took it for granted, "Anyway, I feel the same, so don't be angry. The beggar chicken I invited you to eat last time, didn't you say it was roast chicken?"

"look!"

"I'm not angry either."

When Pu Tian heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said: "Nonsense, can your beggar chicken be compared to the Paopu I invited you?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy." Huo Guang shrugged, it didn't matter what he said.

This performance added a touch of anger to Pu Tian's eyes.

aside.

The servant who was in charge of cutting the meat also had trembling hands and dared not make any movements.

See here.

Huo Guang said directly to the slave: "Cut it, I'm not full yet, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

After the words fell, the servant girl still did not move.On the contrary, Pu Tian, ​​who cast his eyes on him, seemed to be asking for his approval.

It seems.

As the head of the family, Pu Tian is very dignified in this family.

It was only after he waved his hand to the servant that the servant dared to continue cutting Huo Guang's meat.

The meat was placed on a plate, and Huo Guang was delicious.Then he glanced at Pu Tian who had eaten two mouthfuls and then asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Pu Tian said lightly: "I'm full, just watch you eat!"

Watch me eat?

Huo Guang was puzzled, thinking that this guy invited me here just to watch me eat meat?That's not right, who would make such a big fuss when eating something, and send so many people to forcefully invite him over.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang asked directly: "I said Uncle Pu, you invited me here for more than just eating a roast suckling pig, right?"

"This is Paoyu!" Pu Tian reiterated again.

"Okay, Paoyu." Huo Guang had no choice but to ask, "Is it really just to treat me to a meal?"

"Of course it's true!" Pu Tian snorted softly, "I don't like to owe favors to others. Last time you treated me to a roast chicken, I treated you to a better fried pork belly. That's it, it's settled."

Return favors?
Forehead.
This meal will cost a lot of money, right?If you really want to return favors, you might as well give him money!

Thinking of this, Huo Guang suddenly thought of a possibility, so he said: "Could it be that you, as the head of the family, are very majestic!"

"On weekdays at home, say what you say, no one dares to refute you!"

"After such a long time, it is inevitable that I will feel a little lonely."

"Coincidentally!"

"The last time I met me at the General's Mansion, and I didn't know who you were, I dared to talk back whatever you said."

"Although this behavior made you angry at that moment, it also gave you a feeling of appreciation, so come to talk to me?"

After hearing this, Pu Tian turned his head and stared at him.There was a chilling murderous look in his eyes.

This is a thousand times heavier than the guards who blocked the way before!
however.

At this moment, Huo Guang was still unmoved, just burying his head in eating the porpoise on the plate.

In the empty house, it was eerily quiet for a while.

It's been a long time.

Pu Tian withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "You have thick skin!"

"Tell me!"

"You are such a naughty boy, Chang'an is everywhere, why should I admire you alone?"

Huo Guang shrugged and said, "Then I don't know, anyway, it's written like this in the Internet literature I read before."

Pu Tian frowned and asked, "What is online literature?"

Forehead.
You said bald mouth again, how do you explain it now?

Huo Guang thought for a while, then said: "When you reach my age, you will understand."

"You bastard!" Pu Tian suddenly slapped his palm on the table and cursed: "You are only a spoon dancer, and you are much younger than me. How dare you say that I am your age?"

As soon as the table was slapped, the guards in the house all drew their swords and surrounded them.Looking at this battle, most people may have been timid.

Isn't Huo Guang afraid?

I'm afraid too!

So he could only eat to cover up the fear in his heart, and said while eating: "Well, I mean, you will never understand what I'm talking about, so don't ask."

"Bullshit!" Pu Tian didn't know what to say, so he could only swear.

At the same time, he waved his hand to let the guards withdraw.

Later, Huo Guang was performing "Eating and Broadcasting" by himself again, and Pu Tian was watching from the upper seat.

When Huo Guang was full and wiped the oil from his mouth with his sleeve, he said, "Do you know the private reform of salt and iron recently issued by the imperial court?"

"I know!" Huo Guang was so full that he couldn't help hiccupping when he spoke, and then continued: "Uncle, why are you mentioning this, it's possible that your family is involved in illegal salt trading."

"Yes!" Pu Tian replied without hesitation.

Huo Guang suddenly understood, and said, "Oh? No wonder you mentioned private salt last time. It turns out that your family is in this industry."

"Then it's miserable."

"After going to the Yantie official camp, giving birth privately, you will be punished by the left toe!"

Pu Tian raised his eyebrows and ignored Huo Guang's words.

For a while, the room was silent again.

After a while, Pu Cai said softly: "Didn't you say last time that you want to do business to make some money, how much did you make?"

Speaking of which.

Huo Guang frowned slightly, looked at Pu Tian, ​​and said, "I haven't made any money, I'm still losing money."

When you hear the saying "still losing money"!
A smile appeared on Pu Tian's face for the first time.

That expression seems to be saying, I'm sure that you'll never make any money by raising money for your business.Fortunately, I didn't invest capital at the beginning, otherwise I would have to lose money.

Anyway, Huo Guang felt that Pu Tian thought so in his heart, but Pu Tian's behavior really made him unexpected.

Pu Tian opened his mouth slowly and said, "If you can analyze the reform of salt and iron well, I will invest some money in your business!"

"You said that, really?"
