What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 81 I’m not happy with you!

Wang Xiuzhi inquired about the name of the wine.

All eyes were on Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled and said, "This is Chen Family Brew!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qian's body trembled violently!
This wine will surely become famous throughout the world in the future.

Su Mo named himself Chen Family Brew; this was a life-saving golden rule for him!

Chen's brew will surely become a continuous source of money for the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If you want to touch Chen Qian, you must first consider the feelings of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Regardless of whether the Embroidered Uniform Guard would care about a mere clerk.

I just want to ask you one question!
Are you willing to bet?

After his initial excitement subsided, Chen Qian suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Wang, my nephew is just joking."

"This wine is made using traditional methods and has not yet been named."

"On the occasion of your esteemed presence, sir, I humbly request that you name this wine!"

Wang Xiuzhi's heart skipped a beat!
He was a Taoist sorcerer, but also a scholar!

Which scholar doesn't crave fame?

Although this wine tastes ordinary, it is fierce and fiery even without being heated, and its aftereffects are long-lasting!

What's even more amazing is that the wine is as clear as water. No matter how much other fine wines are filtered, they can never achieve such clarity!

Such a wonderful wine will surely become famous throughout the world before long!

If you name it yourself...

Wang Xiuzhi's expression shifted several times, and finally he looked at Chen Qian thoughtfully, sighed inwardly, nodded, and said, "Chen Family Brew!"

"A fine vintage wine!"

"This name is already good; there's no need for me to do it for you!"

Then, with a hint of surprise and doubt, she turned to look at Su Mo: "This fine wine, was it really brewed by you, kid?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you don't need to worry about that."

"If you like this, sir, just come over. I guarantee you'll have plenty!"

"I'll give you a 20% discount, kid!"

Wang Xiuzhi glared at him immediately: "You little brat, how dare you ask me for money!"

"That Five Thunder Technique, if you have the guts, return it to me!"

He glared and snorted, "With wine but no food, how can we enjoy ourselves?"

"Hurry up and get some snacks to go with the drinks!"

He paused, then glanced sideways at Xue Yishu: "Remember! Stir-fry!"

"I'd like to see just how good the culinary skills are of this kid that this girl can't forget and who went so far as to trick me into coming here!"

Su Mo could only leave dejectedly!

Who told him to be a great sorcerer at the Divine Realm, and who told me to take his Five Thunder Technique!

I made some braised food the other day, let's see if he dares to eat it!

Wang Xiuzhi withdrew his gaze, looked at Chen Qian, and said lightly, "You lad, you're quite lucky, you've got a good nephew!"

He looked younger than Chen Qian.

He was actually nearly sixty years old, so naturally he could call Chen Qian "young man".

……

In Su Mo's residence, apart from a few live fish, there was hardly any fresh meat.

This month, the weather is so hot that fresh meat will go bad if left out for just an hour or two!

Su Mo is a person who cannot live without meat.

Grandpa used to love braised food, so Su Mo learned how to make braised meat from him and made quite a lot of it.

Don't underestimate pig ears, pig feet, pig heart, and pig intestines; these things aren't worth much.

However, the broth and braising liquid contain a lot of peppercorns, star anise, and other spices for seasoning and removing fishy smells. These are expensive spices, and they may not be cheaper than a dozen kilograms of fatty pork!
I sliced ​​several plates of braised pork, stir-fried two kinds of cured pork and greens, and steamed a large grass carp.

He carried the tray back to the inner room.

Just then, they saw Lady Chen and Qin Bier entering the courtyard through the side gate.

Chen's eyes lit up instantly: "Hey! Su Mo... my lord, why are you eating so early today?"

"It smells so good!"

Su Mo rolled her eyes at her, then looked at Qin Bier: "Why are you here too? Where's Dian Dian?"

Qin Bier quickly explained, "Dian Dian is at the house, and Auntie is helping to look after her."

“They knew it was my cousin’s first day on duty, so they came over specifically to ask me to bring some mountain produce for my husband.”

As he spoke, he raised the basket in his hand.

It contained some wood ear fungus, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and the like.

There's also a big chunk of honey!

These days, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and honey are all considered good things, top-quality tonics!

Su Mo nodded: "They're so thoughtful!"

"Come on, let's eat first!"

"Mmm!" Chen responded loudly, her mouth practically watering. She took Qin Bier's hand and pulled her towards the inner hall!
Su Mo shook her head helplessly.

Everyone here is a foodie!
This applies to female centurions, county magistrates' daughters, female knights-errant, and even uncles.

Even that great sorcerer Wang was the same.

Could my cooking skills really be that good?

Back in the inner room.

But Wang Xiuzhi had already taken the seat of honor without any hesitation.

Chen Qian stood by, trembling with fear.

Xue Yishu stood behind Wang Xiuzhi.

However, the great sorcerer Wang is much smarter now. He only sips the Chen family brew in small sips and no longer dares to gulp down half a jin in one go.

Upon seeing Su Mo return, Wang Xiuzhi glanced briefly at Qin Bier and Chen Qianyu.

Finally, it landed on the tray.

He snorted, "It looks pretty good!"

"Quickly, bring it here so I can have a taste!"

Su Mo put the dishes down and frowned when she saw Xue Yishu and the others still standing there dumbfounded. "What are you standing there for?"

"Sit down and eat together!"

As a result, both Chen Nvxia and Qin Bier looked at Wang Xiuzhi and Chen Qian.

Qin Bier said softly, "Su Lang, I'll just go to the kitchen for my meal."

Su Mo frowned immediately: "What kitchen!"

"It's not like there's no room for anyone to sit here!"

He glanced at Wang Xiuzhi and said, "I don't have that many rules here; it's more lively with more people!"

Wang Xiuzhi frowned, then said calmly, "Sit down!"

Xue Yishu and her two daughters then carefully took their seats.

Su Mo was so angry that her face turned pale.

Who is the true owner of the Su residence?

His eyes darted around, and he picked up a slice of braised pork intestine, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed in admiration, "Not bad! Not bad!"

"Third Uncle, you should try some too!"

"My nephew put a lot of effort into making this meat; it's a unique recipe from the Su family, and you can't find it anywhere else!"

After a pause, Su Mo added a preemptive supplement: "However, this meat is somewhat lowly, and I'm afraid you, Uncle, may not be able to swallow it."

Although he spoke to Chen Qian, his gaze was defiant as he looked at Wang Xiuzhi!

This little trick could not possibly escape Wang Xiuzhi's notice.

He sneered inwardly, glanced at the strange plate of meat, and was slightly surprised.

This is something I've never seen before.

It was sliced ​​into rings, resembling a whip but not quite, and I had no idea what kind of meat it was!
It doesn't look very appealing, but it has a subtle, enticing fragrance.

Of all the food in the world, whether it flies in the sky, walks on the ground, swims in the water, or burrows in the mud, what is there that the Great Sorcerer Wang wouldn't dare to eat!
I've even eaten locusts myself!
Want to see yourself make a fool of yourself? You ignorant brat!

Wang Xiuzhi picked up his chopsticks and, like Su Mo, ate a piece of fatty intestine.

Then my eyes suddenly lit up!
It's soft and melts in your mouth, and the taste... has a strange flavor, with the spiciness of spices. It's truly delicious and leaves you wanting more!
He picked up the earthenware bowl, took a small sip of strong liquor, and sighed, "Delicious food with strong liquor, what a joy in life!"

Wang Xiuzhi looked at Su Mo with a smile, and the more he looked at the kid, the more pleasing he found him.

Once my niece marries him, I'll have the family cook learn this young man's culinary skills so that he can satisfy his appetite to the fullest!
"Not bad!"

The great sorcerer Wang praised it highly, picked up another slice of fatty intestine, and took a sip of Chen's homemade wine. After savoring it for a moment, he asked, "What exactly is this meat?"

"I have tasted all the delicacies in the world, yet I have never tasted this?"

Xue Yishu and the other two girls also curiously turned their gazes to Su Mo.

Only Chen Qian's expression was a little strange!
Su Mo blinked: "Mr. Wang, are you sure you want me to talk?"

Wang Xiuzhi sneered: "Of all the food in the world, even the insects of the Southern Frontier, I have eaten no less than dozens of kinds!"

"But there's no harm in talking!"

"Do you think I'd stoop to your level?"

Su Mo took a deep breath: "This is braised pork intestines!"

Upon hearing this, the great sorcerer's expression changed drastically, his eyes widening instantly: "Fatty intestines?"

"What kind of pork intestines?"

Su Mo honestly replied, "Pig intestines!"

He gestured, as if afraid Wang Xiuzhi wouldn't understand: "It's pig intestines!"

The great sorcerer Wang felt as if someone had grabbed his throat tightly, and his old face turned red!

That ancient scent from before... could it be...?

The smell of poop?

He instantly felt his stomach churning, the effects of the alcohol kicking in, and he felt a slight urge to vomit!

But he is Wang the Great Sorcerer, a dignified second-class Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) and a Great Sorcerer of the Divine Realm!
If I were to spit it out in front of these younger generation, how could I save face!
He took a deep breath, channeled his magic power, and forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit!
Then, he glared angrily at Su Mo, his beard trembling with rage.

"You...you brat, how dare you make this old man eat...eat..."

After eating half of it, I still couldn't bring myself to say the word "shit"!

In the end, all I can say is, "I'm so angry!"
Xue Yishu and her two daughters were dumbfounded.

Especially Xue Yishu, after being shocked, wanted to laugh but dared not, covering her mouth tightly, it was so hard to hold it in!

Su Mo looked at the Great Sorcerer Wang with surprise: "It's just pork, sir, you haven't eaten it before, have you?"

"Hmm, sir, you come from a noble family, you must have never eaten such cheap food!"

"However, although these pig offal look dirty, with careful preparation, they might just become a delicious meal!"

"The key point...it's free!"

As he spoke, Su Mo picked up a piece of fatty intestine and put it in his mouth, chewing it with relish: "Free stuff is so delicious!"

Wang Xiu was so angry that his teeth itched.

He's eaten all sorts of things, mostly out of curiosity, not because he actually thinks they're delicious.

Their daily diet mainly consists of mutton, venison, and even beef!
Pork, being such a cheap cut of meat, is indeed rarely eaten!
Not to mention……

Sour pork intestines!
He had never even seen pig intestines before!

But Su Mo himself was enjoying his meal, so how could he possibly turn against her?

It is said that a dignified Grand Sorcerer of the Divine Realm was tricked by a boy who was not even twenty years old, and then became so ashamed and angry that he turned against him.
Do scholars still have any sense of dignity and integrity?

However, even the furious Grand Master Wang had to admit that this kid's culinary skills were truly remarkable!
Even such filthy things can be made to taste...like that!

The great sorcerer Wang, his face dark, snorted heavily and pointed at the dishes on the table: "Tell me honestly, what... what is all this junk!"

Su Mo honestly replied, "These are braised pig ears, braised pig heart, and braised pig feet!"

"These two plates are stir-fried with cured pork and greens, and this is steamed grass carp."

"Bier brought some shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and honey. I wanted to make a few more presentable dishes, but unfortunately it takes time to prepare them, so I'll have to wait until next time."

He paused, then added, "If Mr. Wang doesn't like braised meat, he can have stir-fried vegetables or steamed fish."

"Let's leave the braised meat for the young uncle and nephew!"

Wang Xiuzhi sneered: "What an arrogant little apprentice!"

"Do you really think that just because you have that Jinyiwei centurion as your backer, you can act with impunity and even dare to play tricks on this old man! If I don't teach you a lesson, what will become of you in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yishu immediately became anxious and quickly said, "Uncle, you asked for this yourself, how can you blame Su Langjun!"

Wang Xiuzhi glared at her and said irritably, "Girls really are outgoing!"

"Don't worry, your uncle won't do anything to your lover!"

He pointed to the 20-proof liquor jar on the table: "You brat, do you dare to compete with me!"

"If you can outdrink me, this matter will be dropped. If you can't, I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed for three days!"

"I will not bully the weak; if you drink this wine, I will drink strong liquor in return!"

Su Mo looked directly at Wang Xiuzhi without fear: "It's nothing more than risking my life to accompany you!"

He didn't drink much baijiu (Chinese liquor) before.

But beer is like water; after drinking ten or twenty bottles, it's just a matter of going to the toilet a few times.

Are you afraid of this old man?
He comes to my house and acts all high and mighty, even his own woman has to wait for him to sit down!

If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll still think he's the master of the Su residence!
After marrying Xue Yishu, will he need to agree to take a concubine?

Chen Qian glared at Su Mo hurriedly: "Mo'er, how dare you be rude to Old Master Wang!"

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "How can this be considered rude!"

"As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons at the drinking table. Surely you, sir, wouldn't hold a grudge against me just because I'm not as good at drinking!"

Wang Xiuzhi slammed his fist on the table in excitement: "What a fine saying, 'There are no fathers and sons at the drinking table,' let's drink a big toast!"

"I wonder if your alcohol tolerance is as sharp as your tongue!"

Su Mo took out a silver ingot and handed it to Chen Qian: "Third Uncle, I promised my colleagues at the garrison that I would treat them to drinks tonight!"

"It seems I can't leave for the time being. Third Uncle, go to the garrison first and find a man named Gao Xin. After your nephew and Mr. Wang have a good drink, I'll come find you!"

Chen Qian wanted to say something more.

Wang Xiuzhi snorted and said, "Go away!"

"You old codger, you're so boring! You're not as straightforward as your nephew!"

Chen Qian could only whisper a reminder to Su Mo that there were important matters to attend to tomorrow.

Seeing that Su Mo nodded in agreement, he left with the silver.

After all, people in ancient times valued their promises, and Su Mo had already agreed to treat them to wine, so he couldn't go back on his word.

Moreover, what if Su Mo is really drunk?

He'll help wake her up tomorrow, so the important matter of the female centurion won't be delayed!

After Chen Qian left, Su Mo naturally felt more at ease.

He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the wine jar, and filled a large bowl for himself.

He stood up, raised his wine bowl, and suddenly a hearty laugh came from outside the hall: "Nephew Su, why didn't you invite me to drink with you!"

"Uh... Brother-in-law... what are you doing here?"

The county magistrate, and his advisor Dong Yangrong.

They stared in disbelief at Su Mo, who had stood up and was holding a porcelain bowl.

He stared in disbelief at Wang Xiuzhi, whose face was ashen, one hand supporting his sleeve and the other twisting a wine jar as he poured himself wine.

Finally, I glanced at my seated daughter, Lady Chen, and Widow Qin.

The two were completely dumbfounded!
What kind of situation is this?
The brother-in-law, who is usually conservative and values ​​etiquette the most, actually allowed three women to dine at the same table with him.

Also, why does this little fox Su Mo look like she's about to fight a great sorcerer in the Divine Realm?

They couldn't resist bringing over some wine, intending to get Su Mo drunk and take the opportunity to find out about his plans to run for an official position.

Seeing that the side door was not closed, he walked straight in.

Who knew we'd see such a bizarre scene!

[Please vote with your monthly tickets! It's almost the end of the month! It'll be a waste if I don't vote now! I'm almost at 2000 votes, just one more day. It seems I won't break that mark, but this result still makes me incredibly excited! Time to get back to writing!]
