Article 83 Biting Gold

"Of course, it's a kid's honor to have General Cheng like this." Yue Shan said politely.

"You..." Cheng Yaojin looked a little unhappy.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with Yue Shan's words, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that there are serious problems.It is my honor to have you, General Cheng, take the initiative to say hello.

Furthermore, it is my honor to be regarded by you, General Cheng.

Although it's not enough to be cynical, it's definitely repulsive.

Cheng Yaojin thought that he had nothing to do to Yue Shan.Well, that time blocking the road and robbing the horse doesn't count, the debt should be on King Qin's head.

And he could feel that Yue Shan didn't like him because of that incident, it should be said that from the first time the two met, he felt that the boy was alienated from him.

This situation is very rare.He, Cheng Yaojin, is known for his forthright temperament and loyalty, not to mention that people love flowers when they see them, but it is rare to alienate him at the first sight.

It's fine if he's just an ordinary boy, but this one in front of him is the son of a fairy in legend, and also the righteous brother of Princess Qin, he deserves his attention both in public and in private.

The other party is Qin Wangfei's brother-in-law, and he has won the trust of Qin Wang.Recently, the King of Qin is engaged in an industrial alliance. Although the source of the core products such as fragrance dew, spirits, soap, and stir-fried vegetables has not been directly announced, everyone who should know knows that they are all from him.

Let's put it this way, the king of Qin said in public that Yue Shan was a child of the gods, and not many people really believed it. The reason why no one objected was because no one dared to slap the emperor in the face of the prophecy of "a saint descended from heaven".

However, some well-informed people firmly believe in this, such as the core members of Qin Palace.

First Wu Deli, then cage fishing. He has never read a book but can read and write.Now they have brought out stir-fried vegetables, wine essence, fragrant dew, and soap balls that can create amazing wealth...

The more people who know Yueshan, the more convinced they are.

Such a person will inevitably occupy an important position in the King Qin family, and making friends in advance will be of great help to one's career.

Of course, if it was just that, he wouldn't be so nervous or even wronged himself.Whether Changsun Wuji is Princess Qin's real brother or the kind who depends on each other for life, Cheng Yaojin feels that the two are not in the same way, and they have never dealt with each other very much.

What's more, Yue Shan is just a foster brother.

What really made him value was the identity of the other party's fairy child. No one knew how many magical abilities he possessed, such as fortune-telling...

This is also what really makes Cheng Yaojin sleepless at night: Could it be that he sees that my future is not going well, so he alienates me?
The more he thinks like this, the more worried he becomes. He has always wanted to find a chance to ask for clarification, but he is also afraid that it will cause bad things if he seeks out suddenly.What's even more frustrating is that these things are all his own guesses, and he has no way to tell others how aggrieved and aggrieved he is.

Today, in a restless mood, he beat up the unlucky boy Cheng Huaimo, and was kicked out of the house by his wife Cui.

After wandering aimlessly on the street for several times, I accidentally saw the 'culprit' Yue Shan, so I became a stumbling block again.

But what he didn't expect was that this time Yue Shan had made no secret of his estrangement, and said it directly, which made him not angry and angry.

But thinking of the identity of the other party's fairy child, he still suppressed his anger and said: "Meeting is fate. My old Cheng invites you to come and sit at Kelaiju. I don't know if Cuilan will show respect."

Yue Shan could only smile wryly, the reins of my horse were almost torn off by you, can you refuse?
"Okay, it's my honor."

Hearing these words, Cheng Yaojin thought of something unhappy again, and gave him a hard look, which made Yue Shan a little puzzled.

Kelaiju is a famous restaurant in Chang'an City. It is said that the chef here used to be the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, and the dishes he made were various and delicious.

Cheng Yaojin asked for a private room, and ordered seven or eight dishes and two jars of wine.

"I don't drink." Seeing the small wine jar in front of him, Yue Shan refused.

"What kind of man is he if he doesn't drink, so you can tell if you are a man." Cheng Yaojin said mockingly.

"Doctor, bring a pot of tea here." Yue Shan just smiled but ignored him, but said to the boy next to him.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such title as 'Xiaoer', and these servants were collectively referred to as Doctors.

Cheng Yaojin's complexion changed slightly, he didn't expect this young man's xinxing cultivation to be so high, and the 'unreasonable' that has always been unfavorable has lost its effect, which makes him a little unsure how to open a breakthrough.

The scene calmed down for a while.

Cheng Yaojin looked preoccupied, he picked up the wine jar 'duangDuang' without taking a bite of food, and half of the jar went into his stomach.Yue Shan really didn't know what to say, and kept eating vegetables with his head depressed.

"What's there to eat with these dishes? Eating these dishes after eating stir-fried vegetables is like pig food. You eat stir-fried vegetables every day, and you still have the appetite to eat these?" Cheng Yaojin mocked.

"I've been in Zhilan's room for a long time and I don't feel its fragrance." Yue Shan replied lightly, and continued to eat his own food.

Although stir-frying accounted for most of the recipes in later generations, cooking methods such as steaming, frying and roasting have not been eliminated, but have been pushed to a higher peak.

Compared with the later generations, although these dishes have a single condiment, they have a special taste, Yue Shan feels that they are no worse than the later generations.

Cheng Yaojin thinks that stir-fried dishes are better than steamed dishes, and like Li Shimin, he eats more good things.Try another poor person who doesn't even have to eat bread every day, and they will definitely say that it is just as delicious.

Seeing that Yue Shan didn't pick up his words, Cheng Yaojin was also a little helpless, and after thinking about it, he might as well have an open and honest talk.This is also the way he has always acted - straight to the point.

"You hate my old Cheng?"

Yue Shan was taken aback for a moment, then he replied nonchalantly: "Why did the general say that?"

"Don't deny it, my old Cheng has no other skills, but the ability to see people with these eyes is not inferior to anyone, I can see that you are on guard against me." Cheng Yaojin said: "How dare you say no?" ?”

Yue Shan hesitated for a moment before nodding his head and said: "The general's eyes are as bright as a torch. But I only guessed half right. I don't hate you but I don't want to get too close to you."

"Why? I don't think I've done anything wrong and I haven't sinned against you. Why should I guard against me?" Cheng Yaojin stared at him and asked.

"Because you are too smart." Yue Shan looked him in the eyes and replied without flinching.

too smart?Cheng Yaojin was stunned, he thought about many possibilities, but he didn't think about this reason alone.

Many people praised him for being straightforward and rude, and many people praised him for being smart, but no one ever alienated him because he was smart.For a moment, he couldn't accept it... No, he could accept this reason.

So he also smiled wryly: "I once used this reason to alienate my grandson Wuji, but I didn't expect that I would be alienated by this reason today. It really is retribution."

Then he said with a serious face: "Although I am not a kind person, please rest assured that I have absolutely no intention of harming others."

Yue Shan nodded without hesitation and said, "I firmly believe in this point."

"Thank you for your trust, I, Cheng, offer you a toast." Cheng Yaojin once again resumed his usual rudeness, picked up the jar and "DuangDuang" and drank again.

Yue Shan picked up the cup and took a symbolic sip of tea.

"For the sake of serving the King of Qin together, I, Old Cheng, would like to ask you something, and I hope you can agree."

"Please say."

"I want to ask you to do the math for me."
