my brother champion

Chapter 95 Recognize!I've known you since childhood
In the following time, Huo Guang has been studying the improvement of crispy noodles, and at the same time let the industrial park try to make cards.

slowly.

He improved the crispy noodles better and better every time. Both the texture and color were more like the ones he had eaten in his previous life.

So far!

He has just begun to shift his energy to sales, and this food is obviously positioned differently from toilet paper.At first, he aimed at children and planned to put it in various places where elementary schools are opened.

Simply put, retail.

But because the cost of making crispy noodles is not low, the packaging paper alone is very expensive, so the initial price is very expensive.

You must know that the staple food of most people in this era is corn, and those who can afford pasta must be these residents in Chang'an City.

Due to various reasons, the sales volume of crispy noodles is not very good.

But because of its delicious taste, convenience, simplicity and novelty, it has attracted many dignitaries.Simply, Huo Guang temporarily positioned the crispy noodles here as a special food, which can only be purchased in his restaurant.

And this back and forth improvement and change, unknowingly, it has been more than a month.

just now.

It is midsummer and the weather is very hot.

The summer of 2000 years ago was not easy.Not only is it terribly hot, there is nothing to escape the heat, and you have to suffer from mosquito bites every night.

It's hard
However, in this hot weather, today's General Shogunate is very lively.

There is no other reason, General Wei Qing wants to celebrate his wife's birthday.

Before Qin and Han Dynasties.

The ancients did not have a saying of longevity, but since the founding of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, there has been a saying of longevity.Since then, it has gradually been handed down in the aristocratic circle.

But it is only limited to the noble circle!

The poor are not eligible.

The general's wife, Shen Youjia, was only forty years old, so she sounded very young.But for the people of the Han Dynasty, the age of 40 basically means that they have begun to enter the state of old age.

Wei Qing felt that his wife's health was not good recently, so he thought about entertaining guests to make the house lively.

Maybe it also has a feeling similar to "Chongxi"!
But after all, I am a great general, so I was afraid that His Majesty would be suspicious, so I didn't invite the princes in the court, but only invited relatives of the Wei family.

It's a family feast.

At this time, Huo Guang returned to the General's Mansion with a few packs of crispy noodles. Compared with the usual desertedness, it suddenly became lively, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What should I give for my aunt's birthday? Although I live in the General's Mansion, I don't have to give it as a member."

"But even Mrs. Wei said that he wanted to give something to his mother. I, a cousin who is not related by blood and relies on my elder brother to eat and drink at Wei's house every day, if I don't give some gifts, it seems unreasonable!"

Thinking of this, he sighed to himself.

General Wei Qing said.

The birthday party for my aunt should be grand but simple.

It's easy to say grandly, what can't be done with Huo Guang's current financial resources?
but the problem is frugality
When Huo Guang was thinking about these questions, Mrs. Wei heard the maid said that Huo Guang had returned, so she rushed to his residence and shouted, "Old cousin, what are you doing here?"

"It's time to give gifts later, are the gifts ready?"

"This is my mother's first birthday, you can't send it off!"

Huo Guang was already worried about this matter, but now hearing what Fatty Wei said, he felt even more depressed.

After thinking about it.

He handed over the packets of crispy noodles and said, "Old Cousin, do you think it's okay for me to give you this?"

"Ah, do you want to give this?" Mrs. Wei immediately took it with a look of contempt, then opened a package and ate it without saying a word, and complained: "Don't be ridiculous, give this, you think my mother is so poor , can you eat this? You might as well send some soup!"

Watching Mrs. Wei eating the crispy noodles he brought back with relish.

immediately.

He frowned and asked, "Then what did you send, I will refer to it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei immediately snorted twice, and said, "Hey, that's weird, you're so smart and you still ask me for reference?"

"Haha, interesting."

"However, I can't tell you, you'd better figure out your own way! At that time, during the gift giving session, Ben Hou will shock the audience, hehe."

shocked the audience
Didn't they just invite some relatives from the Wei family, what a shock.

Huo Guang was amused in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

After Wei Kang left.

He frowned slightly, the words Mrs. Wei said just now let him know what kind of gift he wanted to give, which was grand and yet simple.

then.

Then he got up quickly, ready to go out of the mansion to visit here.

there.

There is something he wants.

It's just that when I was going out, by coincidence, I ran into Mrs. Wei and his cousin Gongsun Jingsheng.

Gongsun Jingsheng this person?
To be honest, Huo Guang was very unhappy.He is not only arrogant and extravagant, but also dares to disobey the law in Chang'an city because his aunt is Queen Wei.

Seeing Huo Guang coming out, Mrs. Wei called out to him, "Old Cousin, have you thought about what to give?"

"Oh, think about it."

Huo Guang waved his hand as a response.

And in this process.

In Huo Guang's eyes, he had never looked at Gongsun Jingsheng directly, which made him, who was pampered since childhood, very upset.

immediately.

Gongsun Jingsheng then asked Mrs. Wei: "This guy is the champion brother who lives in your house, Huo Guang?"

Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "Ang"

Gongsun Jingsheng said at this time: "Cousin, if I were you, I would definitely find a way to drive this man out of the house. A bastard who has no blood relationship with my mother's Wei family, why should he enjoy the respect of our Wei family?" Rong?"

"Cousin, how can you say that? It's been a while, Huo Guang plays well with me." Wei Wei said immediately.

however.

After Gongsun Jingsheng heard this, he scolded: "Cousin, you are really depraved. How can you have a good relationship with this kind of person? His father is just a district official in Pingyang County, and he can be compared with people like us who are naturally dignified. ?"

"What's more."

"Back then, I abandoned my second aunt and Qubing's cousin, and gave birth to wild species with other women."

"It's really shameless to send the wild species to the general's mansion to enjoy the honor of my Wei family."

Whether it is Gongsun Jingsheng or Wei Kang.

Both of them can be regarded as the second generation, but they grew up in different environments, resulting in a lot of poor temperament.

This Gongsun Jingsheng belongs to the second generation with a violent and domineering personality, and Mrs. Wei belongs to the second generation who are stupid and rich in money but not bad in nature.

Seeing Gongsun Jingsheng chattering endlessly, Mrs. Wei felt a little unhappy, but it was not easy to get angry.

then.

I had no choice but to mention the name of the champion, and said: "Don't say it, when Qubing's cousin hears about it, if he gets angry, he will beat someone. When you were young, you scolded Qubing's cousin, and you were beaten to the fullest." The head is the bag, forgot?"

"What are you talking about!"

Gongsun Jingsheng immediately replied angrily.

Time passed quickly afterwards.

When Wei's relatives were almost here, it was time to give gifts.

gift.

It is not only etiquette, but also a ceremony, and it shows the loyalty and filial piety of the younger generation to the elders.

The Han Dynasty emphasized filial piety and honesty.

Naturally, this gift-giving link is indispensable.

Mrs. Wei, as the eldest son of the great general Wei Qing, and the title of Marquis of Yichun, naturally wanted to be the first to present the gift.

I saw him holding the wooden board with both hands, and the things on the wooden board were covered by brocade, and he didn't know what it was.

at this time.

Mrs. Wei walked up to Shen Youjia and said proudly: "Mother, this is a gift from me. Do you like it?"

While speaking, he tore off the brocade, revealing the golden gift inside.

—a golden pig.

pig!
In the Han Dynasty, it was a compliment.

It not only represents demeanor, wealth, and wildness, but also implies many children and many blessings, and even a symbol of wealth.

For example, there was an object in the Han Dynasty called Zhuyuju.

A pig-shaped hand-held piece carved from jade is said to be held by people after death, which represents wealth and power.

Although Shen Youjia's face was pale, she still said happily when she saw her son giving such a big gift: "Well, my mother likes it very much. By the way, did your restaurant earn the money to build this golden pig?" ?”

Mrs. Wei nodded immediately, and said, "Yes, mother, Huo Guang Real Estate and I have earned a lot of money!"

Seeing her son's air, Shen Youjia naturally praised happily: "My son is promising, and he can buy his own property."

"Eh?"

"By the way, you said Huo Guang, where is Huo Guang?"

At this time, Huo Guang was nowhere to be seen in the living room, which made the general's wife very strange.

It was Mrs. Wei who replied: "Mother, Cousin Huo Guang said that he is going to prepare a big gift for you. Let's wait."

"it is good."

Shen Youjia smiled kindly at her son.

After Wei Kang.

There are also Wei Deng and Wei Buyi, but they are still young, so naturally they said something nice and hurried over.

Most of those who gave gifts later were also younger generations who were related to the Wei family.

of course.

There are also those who are not related by blood, such as Ren An and Tian Ren.

These two became Wei Qing's family members not long ago, so the general's wife will come to celebrate her birthday.

It's just that the two of them are really poor.

I can't produce any decent good things, so I can only show off my literary talent and say some nice things.

till the end.

Gongsun Jingsheng saw that no one came forward to give gifts, so he said in a high-profile way: "Auntie, this is a magical bead bought by my nephew because of her great relationship. It can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon during the day and reveal it at night. Soft light, if you keep it with you for a long time, it is said that it can prolong your life.”

"The pearl seller said that this is a night pearl, which is hard to buy with a thousand dollars, and is extremely rare."

"My nephew is giving it to my aunt now, wishing my aunt a long life and happiness like the East China Sea."

Shen Youjia took over the Ye Mingzhu, such a rare treasure, even the wife of the general found it novel, and said with a smile: "Okay, respectful nephew, I have a heart."

Thereafter.

Then there was no one to present presents, and upon seeing this, Shen Youjia said to Wei Qing who was beside her: "Husband, there should be no one presenting presents, or else, this gift-giving link is over!"

Wei Qing nodded after hearing this, and prepared to hold a banquet later.

At this time.

But Mrs. Wei said: "Mother, Huo Guang hasn't come back yet, he still has presents to give!"

Hear this.

Shen Youjia then said to General Wei Qing: "Husband, wait!"

"it is good."

Wei Qing nodded and replied.

After a long time.

Huo Guang finally arrived late.

And when he came back this time, he naturally carried a gift in his hand.

Because he came late, he naturally expressed his apology to his aunt Shen Youjia first, saying: "Don't take offense, Auntie, I wasted a little time this trip to prepare a gift for you."

"It's nothing, as long as you have this intention." Shen Youjia said with a smile.

Huo Guang presented his gift at this time, saying: "Auntie, this is longevity noodles, made from one root, it is a gift from my nephew."

talking.

He sent up a bowl of noodles.

Shen Youjia looked at the bowl of noodles sent by Huo Guang, and for a while, the expression on his face was very puzzled.

No one gives gifts, but soup and food!

See you!

Gongsun Jingsheng then criticized: "Huo Guang, you live in my uncle's house, and you are under the care of my Wei family. How can you give such a thing? We all know that you and Mrs. Wei bought a house and made a fortune. It is not expensive to give your aunt a gift." , at least you have to be willing enough."

"What do you mean by sending a bowl of noodles?"

"Are you humiliating my aunt, or me, Wei Shi?"

Hearing this, Huo Guang raised his eyebrows.

But he still didn't look at Gongsun Jingsheng directly, and said flatly: "I just said, this bowl is called longevity noodles."

"Mian means face. There is an ancient "Xiangshu" saying that the elders of the people live longer. However, most of them have longer faces and longer lives. Therefore, the elders of the face live longer."

"Longevity noodles are also intended for this purpose."

"I think what my uncle said, this time my aunt's birthday should be grand and simple."

"It was only after hard thinking and meditation that I created this longevity noodle."

"My heart is full, I wonder if my aunt has ever felt my filial piety?"

Hearing this, Shen Youjia immediately said: "I'm a little filial to hear you say that. Well, bring the noodles, and Auntie will taste it."

then.

The servant girl took the noodles and gave it to Aunt Shen Youjia to taste, and took only one mouthful.

Shen Youjia's appetite improved a lot, and she finished the bowl of noodles right away.

After putting down the bowls and chopsticks.

Shen Youjia also said curiously: "I haven't had an appetite for a long time, why does your soup make me so hungry?"

Huo Guang said: "Considering that my aunt's appetite is not good, my nephew added some appetizing condiments to it. People who have no appetite will naturally want to eat more after tasting it."

"Hehe, my nephew really has a heart." Shen Youjia said with a smile.

Finished this bowl of longevity noodles.

There was also a trace of blood on Shen Youjia's pale face.

On the other hand, Gongsun Jingsheng was itchy with anger.He tried his best to find a luminous pearl, but he was beaten by a bowl of soup, which made him unacceptable.

And at this time!

Unexpectedly, His Majesty and Queen Wei Zifu also came.

of course!

They didn't appear at the banquet directly, but were passed on by Han.After Wei Qing found out, he immediately went to accompany his Majesty.

immediately.

The gift giving session is over.

The feast begins.

Huo Guang hadn't performed the coronation ceremony, so he couldn't drink alcohol, so he should sit at the children's table.

Several teenagers who were the same age as him sat together, eating and making noise, quickly finished their food, and then came to the yard to play.

The three brothers Wei Fu, Wei Deng and Wei Buyi can eat a lot.

Huo Guang got off the table, and the three of them were still eating.

"Whoo~"

"So full."

Huo Guang sighed, and then he was about to leave the table.

At this time, Mrs. Wei said: "Old cousin, don't go, the food is not finished yet."

Huo Guang shook his head and said, "I can't eat anymore, you can eat by yourself."

Stop talking.

He also left his seat and came to the courtyard of the General's Mansion.

Say coincidence.

I also met several acquaintances in the yard, namely Princess Wei, Princess Shiyi, and Princess Zhuyi.

And behind the princesses.

Still following the flattering Gongsun Jingsheng, wasn't this kid quite arrogant when he yelled at him just now?
How could you show such a gesture when you saw the three princesses!
Lick the dog?

Wrong!
Although these three are princesses, they are also Gongsun Jingsheng's cousins.

Could it be that he still has any thoughts about his cousin?

Thinking of this, Huo Guang felt a little more contempt and disdain for Gongsun Jingsheng in his heart.Just as he was about to leave, Princess Wei found him, immediately glared at Huo Guang angrily, and said, "It's you!"

"Ah, it's me, hehe. Three princesses, long time no see." Huo Guang smiled awkwardly.

Although Gongsun Jingsheng didn't like Huo Guang, he wanted to talk to the three princesses, so he asked, "Do you know each other?"

however.

Princess Wei didn't have time to say anything.

Huo Guang was the first to speak and said, "I know, I've known each other since I was a child!"
