Begin your journey to the heavens from knowing or not

Hearing Liang Han’s greeting,
Xu Wenhui and Liang Xu looked at each other and walked over with a smile!

"Quickly, try it. Xiao Lizi is really good at roasting venison! It's very fragrant and tender!"

While Liang Han greeted Xu Wenhui and Liang Xu, he immediately winked at the servant named Xiao Lizi and asked him to quickly cut off a few pieces of meat from the deer!

That little plum was also clever. When he saw Xu Wenhui and the two coming over, he immediately picked up the dagger and started cutting!

As soon as Xu Wenhui and Liang Xu sat down, they immediately handed over the inserted pieces of meat!

Xu Wenhui took a piece and put it in his mouth, took a bite and tasted it. It tasted really good. It was a little different from the grilled venison he usually eats. It was extra tender and delicious!
According to Xu Wenhui's usual taste, the taste of roasted venison is actually not as good as roasted lamb!

Because the fat content of venison is low, it is usually very hot when grilled and not as plump as mutton. However, the venison grilled by Little Plum is different. Not only is it not burnt at all, but it is also extra fragrant and tender! It tastes very different from the previous ones!
Xu Wenhui felt the fragrance linger on his lips and teeth after eating it. He couldn't help but nodded slightly, glanced at the little plum, and said with a casual smile:

"It does have a unique taste, right? How do you roast it? Do you have any secrets? Why is it different from the venison I ate before?"

The little plum was a little hesitant when he heard this. When Xu Wenhui saw this, he thought he had some secret recipe that he was unwilling to reveal!

After all, most people are relatively conservative at this time and don’t want to let others know the secret recipe!
This kind of secret recipe may be the foundation of this little plum's success in the Liang family. There is no need to argue with such a small person. Xu Wenhui laughed, waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Haha, it doesn't matter! I made a mistake. Diners don't ask for directions! As long as the food is delicious!" After saying this, Xu Wenhui picked up the meat and gestured to the little plum, and said with a smile:

"Yeah! It tastes really good, thank you for your hard work!"

It's not easy for little people these days. Xu Wenhui was afraid that he would be blamed by the Liang family if he asked one more question, so he praised him!
Liang Xu and Liang Han's faces did look much better after hearing this, but looking at that little plum's face, he still looked bad.
Obviously some blame this boy for being rigid. They and Xu Wenhui all thought the same thing, thinking that this boy was reluctant to part with the secret recipe!
It’s really like losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds! How could Xu Wenhui, a great general, steal some secret recipe from you?

The little plum naturally saw the dissatisfaction of the two masters, and suddenly looked panicked!

He quickly explained without hesitation:

"I'm sorry to my uncle. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid you will blame me if I tell you!"

Xiao Lizi knows Xu Wenhui's identity. Now who in the family doesn't know that Mrs. Xu's eldest brother is a high-ranking general. If he dissatisfies Xu Wenhui, there will be nothing good to eat when he goes back!
Xu Wenhui had already tasted two more bites at this time, and when he heard Xiao Lizi say this again, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and he picked up the venison in his hand and smelled it.
Then he waved to Xiao Lizi, and when he came to him, he whispered:

"Did you brush some lard on the venison when you grilled it?"

The little plum didn't expect Xu Wenhui to guess it, and he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees shaking like chaff!
"Uncle, have mercy on me, uncle, have mercy on me!"

Pork is a very low-class food these days, and wealthy people would never eat it, let alone a noble family like Xu Wenhui!

Xiao Lizi brushed lard on the venison like this, which was a bit serious and seemed to despise Xu Wenhui. Now that Xu Wenhui saw it, he was naturally frightened. You must know that his life was actually just a word from Xu Wenhui!

Xiao Lizi now only hates that he showed off in front of his friends before and let his master know this. Now that Xu Wenhui sees it, he is probably doomed!

Seeing that Xiao Lizi was scared, Xu Wenhui chuckled and waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, get up! Don't be afraid, didn't I tell you, you're doing a great job at roasting! Go ahead and roast your meat! I ate very well! I'll reward you later!"

Xu Wenhui raised his voice slightly when he said this last sentence, obviously he meant it for the Liang brothers!
After hearing this, Xiao Lizi carefully raised his head and glanced at Xu Wenhui. Seeing that Xu Wenhui really didn't mean to blame him,
Immediately he kowtowed a few more times in relief, and then slowly retreated, then grilled other venison and other ingredients!

At this time, Liang Han came up curiously.

"Cousin, what's going on? What riddles are you playing with that little plum?"

"It's nothing. Just mind your own business! By the way, I heard that my aunt is arranging a marriage for you recently. How is it? Have you chosen any girl? You should get married as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about it now. It doesn’t look like that!”

Xu Wenhui smiled and changed the topic,
Huangzhou good pork,
The price is as low as dung.

The rich refuse to eat;

The poor cannot understand cooking.

Slow the fire, use less water,
When the heat is sufficient, it is beautiful.

Get up and drink a bowl every day,
Don't worry about your own family when you are full.

This is a short poem written by Su Dongpo when he was demoted to Huangzhou. It can give a glimpse of the despicability of pork in this era!

Xu Wenhui estimated that if Su Dongpo hadn't been demoted and was a little frustrated, he might not be willing to eat the pork!
In fact, pork in this era does look a bit dirty. Not only is pork as expensive as dung, but the pigs themselves eat dung!
As a modern person, Xu Wenhui likes to eat pork very much.

After all, pork has a lot of fat and the meat has an unusual flavor!

In addition to soap, Xu Wenhui was also thinking about starting a pork braised business!

Firstly, it can satisfy your craving, and secondly, it is also a good business to make money!
But after visiting Zhuangzi in person, Xu Wenhui changed his mind!

For the servants and tenants there, the toilet was built on top of their own pigsty.

The feces and urine on weekdays are directly the food of the pigs. Not only human feces, but also the feces of other livestock are fed to the pigs. The environment looks really unappetizing...

Of course, the main food for pigs is pigweed and the like, and the feces may be just desserts after meals, but it looks disgusting!
Getting the nobles and wealthy people to accept pork cannot be done in a day or two! Spices in this era were also very expensive. If the pork could not be sold at a high price, it would be better not to do this business!
Xu Wenhui himself is actually doing okay, but in order to adapt to the environment, he rarely eats pork anymore!
If it weren't for the special aroma of roasted venison this time, Xiao Lizi's expression would be a little strange, and he wouldn't have thought of lard!

Lard does have a stronger aroma than other vegetable oils!
Closer to home,
When Liang Han heard Xu Wenhui change the topic and talked about his marriage, he really didn't care about what happened just now. After all, in the eyes of them, it was just an insignificant episode. Since Xu Wenhui didn't care, they paid more attention to it. Without paying attention, he chewed the venison and said:

"I'm not in a hurry to start a family. It's so annoying to be controlled by others after we get married! It's better to be free now! If you have nothing to do, you can go to Chunxiang Tower and so on. It's really fun to be here!"

"Good-for-nothing!"

When Liang Xu saw his younger brother Liang Han speaking so out of tune, he glanced at him angrily. When he turned to look at Xu Wenhui, he smiled again and asked:

"Brother, I heard that you and the girl from the Sheng family have decided on a date? Is it the 19th of this month?"

"Yes, did you hear what Wan Rong said? It's the nineteenth of this month. After all, I've reached my age, and my father and wife are also anxious!"

"That's right. Brother, if you weren't guarding the border in the northwest, you would have started a family long ago! Haha, to be honest with you, Wanrong has already prepared gifts for you and your future sister-in-law, but I'm just looking forward to this day!"

"Haha, right? Wanrong is interested! Speaking of my sisters, Wanrong is the most sensible and considerate!" In front of his eldest brother-in-law, Xu Wenhui would naturally exaggerate his sister!

Sure enough, Liang Xu smiled happily after hearing this. The more his wife is favored by Xu Wenhui, the more beneficial it will be to him!

At this time, Liang Han, who was next to him, seemed to have thought of something. Seeing that the servants were all sensible and far away from the crowd, he probably couldn't hear what they were saying, so he interrupted with a gossipy look:
"Cousin, speaking of my future cousin-in-law, I've thought of one thing! Hehe, I recently heard that the relationship between Qi Yuanruo and Gu Tingye's ex-wife, my cousin-in-law and her fourth sister, seems unusual?"

Liang Xu originally listened carefully, thinking that his younger brother Liang Han had some great news, but he didn't expect to hear these nonsense. He was so angry that he picked up a branch at hand and threw it towards Liang Han, cursing :
"I'll beat you to death, you beast! How dare you talk nonsense! Are you able to say this? Apologize to my brother quickly. I won't spare you if you dare to talk nonsense again!"

Liang Xu's face turned blue with anger! His younger brother suffered a lot because of his habit of gossiping, and he still doesn't know how to repent!
If this word spreads, it will offend several families!

Not to mention the Qi family and the Gu family, the marriage between the eldest brother-in-law Xu Wenhui and the sixth girl of the Sheng family is imminent. This bastard boy dares to say this in front of Xu Wenhui and fabricate such rumors. He really doesn't know the importance of it!

Liang Han was startled by the branch thrown by his brother. After ducking sideways, he shouted with aggrieved face:
"Oh, brother! What are you doing? I just listened to what others said! Besides, my cousin is not an outsider, and I didn't go out to say it!"

"Okay, it doesn't matter if it's all about my family! As long as you don't go outside to talk about it, that's all!"

Seeing that Liang Xu wanted to speak to Liang Han, Xu Wenhui waved his hand to stop Liang Xu.

In fact, to be honest, Xu Wenhui is not close to the Sheng family except for his great-aunt and Minglan.
It really can’t compare to the Liang family where my sister Xu Wanrong married. Not to mention Liang Xu is the brother-in-law, Liang Han has also been my little brother for many years!

Therefore, Xu Wenhui was not very angry about Liang Han's gossip about the Sheng family!

However, Xu Wenhui was still a little curious about the rumor itself, so he looked at Liang Han and asked:
"How many people in Bianjing know about these rumors about Qi Yuanruo and Mo Lan?"

Xu Wenhui knew that Liang Han was relatively well-informed, so he wanted to ask how far this rumor went!
"That's right, my cousin said so!" Liang Han muttered to his brother first, then turned to look at Xu Wenhui, thought for a moment and said:

"I know a lot. They say that the two families are interested in getting married. Qi Yuanruo and the fourth girl of the Sheng family behave in a close manner and so on! Anyway, when I went to Fan Lou to have a drink, I heard a lot of people talking about it!"

"Really!"

Xu Wenhui nodded slightly when he heard this, but he was thinking that this matter seemed unusual.

The matter between Mo Lan and Qi Heng should be a very private matter to some extent!
All I know is the Qi family, the Sheng family and the Kang family!

On the surface, it seems that this matter is most likely to come from the Kang family. If this happens, it will damage the reputation of the women of the Sheng family!

It will help the Qi family make the right decision and help them get married with the Kang family!

But Xu Wenhui thought about it and realized that the Kang family would not do this. The Kang family was now in a state of decline and had to rely on the Sheng family for many things!

He would not behave so irrationally and completely offend the Sheng family!

On the contrary, it is most likely that Lin Jinshuang and Mo Lan reported this matter.
The two of them don't care so much about reputation, they care more about affordable things!

The spread of these messages just brought the entire Sheng family down. As long as the Sheng family wants to restore their reputation, they must help Mo Lan and the Qi family!

Probably because Xu Wenhui didn't care too much, Liang Han seemed to be encouraged and raised his eyebrows again, showing a lewd smile and said:

"Isn't it! Tsk tsk tsk... This fourth girl from the Sheng family is really extraordinary! She was married to the second brother Gu before, and now she is married to Qi Yuanruo! Cousin, have you seen the fourth girl? Really? She is so beautiful that she can charm these two young masters!"

There was still some regret on his face as he said this, probably thinking that Xu Wenhui's sixth girl might not be as beautiful as this fourth girl!
"Fuck off!"

Xu Wenhui glanced at Liang Han angrily this time. This kid is really out of tune.
Three sentences or two are inseparable from that matter!
Liang Han couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Wenhui was angry!
Liang Xu also glared at Liang Han, then looked at Xu Wenhui, and said with a somewhat puzzled expression:
"Brother, this should be impossible! If the Qi family does this, wouldn't it offend the Gu family? Although the Gu family is not as good as before, there are many disciples and former officials. Even if the Qi family relies on the Queen Mother, they should not This is how you bully the Gu family! And I heard that the two families are distant relatives and have always had a good relationship. How could something like this happen? "

Liang Han couldn't help but retort:
"Why is it impossible? Second brother Gu doesn't care about this. If the fourth girl is really good, Qi Yuanruo will naturally not refuse!"

Relatively speaking, Liang Han knows Gu Tingye better than his brother Liang Xu!
Xu Wenhui glanced at Liang Han and shook his head. He did not say anything about the Kang family and said directly:
"The Duke of Qi and Princess Pingning will not agree to this! Duke Qi is fine, Princess Pingning is too temperamental to tolerate this! Just watch!" (End of Chapter)
