Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 185 Fried Dough Sticks

When Qin Feng returned to Luoyang Mansion, he was thinking about fooling Emperor Han Ling all the way.Then I felt that it should not be difficult to fool people at the level of Emperor Han Ling, but if it was Emperor Wu of the Han or Emperor Gaozu of Han, it would be almost impossible.

Just as he was thinking, a man appeared in the middle of the street.

Qin Feng hurriedly stopped his horse, and took a closer look, "A lot of ringworm?"

"This subordinate is cheating, I have seen Master Qin." Liu Bei bowed, his arms were long, and his clasped hands almost reached the ground.

Qin Feng is a superior official, and Liu Bei is a subordinate official, or some special subordinate, so Qin Feng will not dismount, and dismounting will mess up the rules and regulations.He was on the horse, and the horsewhip pointed: "There are many ringworms, come to see this officer, what is the so-called matter? Is it a matter of work?"

Liu Bei was suddenly very embarrassed. After slapping his big ears, he accompanied Xin Xin to the front of Qin Feng's horse, raised his neck, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, I heard that my lord has taken a lot of bets. I don't know, can I place a bet?"

Qin Feng knew the truth when he heard the words, he sneered, and said in his heart, Liu Xuande, you are thick-skinned, and you will come to throw trouble when you see it.But Qin Feng is not afraid, since Liu Xuande sent him to his door on his own initiative, he must not be allowed to go back without killing him.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "My lord has set up a gamble, and he will not refuse anyone who comes. I wonder how much more you bet?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, but embarrassed, and said, "Lord Qin, I'm an official... I only have ten coins for an official."

Qin Feng laughed loudly and said, "What? Only ten guan? Are you willing to take it out?"

Liu Bei was ashamed and angry, cursing inwardly, damn Qin Zijin, if you hadn't confiscated my half-year salary, how could I only have ten pennies?This time, I will watch you die with my own eyes.

It turned out that the news of Qin Feng giving gifts to start a betting game spread quickly, and it soon reached Liu Bei's ears.

During this period of time, Liu Bei was fined because of his salary, and he was only a little short of begging for food, and his life was really difficult.When he heard the news, he felt that this was a great opportunity to personally participate in the fight against Qin Feng and make money, so he came here.But he had no money, so he borrowed usury.

Liu Bei was afraid that Qin Feng wouldn't let him place bets. If he didn't let him place bets, he wouldn't win money, and if he didn't win money, he wouldn't be able to eat. He hurriedly said, "My lord, let Xing bet more."

For those who offered to give money, no matter how much or how little, Qin Feng never refused. He smiled and said, "Okay, based on our friendship, I will accept your bargaining chips."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a box from his arms, and when he presented it, he said, "My lord, it's all here."

Qin Feng didn't expect Liu Bei to come with cash, but this was fine, so he waved his hand, and Longwei General Dian Wei went up to accept Liu Bei's money.

At this point, Qin Feng joyfully rode back home.

And Liu Bei returned to the house cheerfully, dancing with his hands and feet as he walked, "This time, Qin Feng is finished, but I have money!"

On the second day, Luoyang government office, Qin Feng's office.

Qin Feng concentrated, sat in the hall, wrote and drew, and worked out his plan for his rise step by step.Today it was Xu Chu's turn to be on duty. He stood by Qin Feng's side with his shoulders straight and tireless.

After a while, Xun Yu walked in, showing hesitation, but still said: "My lord, yesterday...?"

Qin Feng put down his pen, looked serious, and said, "Wen Ruo, have you heard about it?"

Xun Yu nodded, and couldn't help but said, "My lord, this is not an appropriate move, it's a loss of your identity."

Qin Feng smiled slightly, but said: "Your Majesty's birthday, all the officials gave congratulatory gifts, what gifts did they give?"

Xun Yu suddenly sighed.

During this period of time, the prices of luxury goods in Luoyang skyrocketed. This came from the fact that not only the officials, but also the gentry had gifts, all of which were luxury goods, gold, silver and jade.Some even send money directly.

When Xun Yu said this, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Qin Feng frowned. He knew that Xun Yu was an upright person. Obviously, his behavior of sitting in the manor to open a gamble could not be linked to the Ming Lord, and Xun Yu felt a little disappointed.

He knew that Xun Yu was a man of great talent, and he was still above Zhuge Liang in terms of internal affairs, and he was a talented person at the level of a "good prime minister".

Qin Feng couldn't leave a stain on this virtuous man's heart, he frowned, thoughtful, and then his face turned into a whole, said: "Officials give gifts wantonly, this extravagant style, I can't agree with it, I can't encourage it. A king's gift must have a meaning, mountains of gold and silver are useless."

He added: "That's why I gave a gift of ten Wen, and I wanted to alert all officials, so I gave up the game and taught them a lesson."

Only then did Xun Yu suddenly realize that the lord set up the game to alert the officials.After he understood it, he admired it very much. It was because he liked Qin Feng's virtue and ability that he followed and recognized the Lord, saying: "What the Lord said is very true." , must be able to alert the world. I really don’t know, what gift will the lord send, which is not extravagant but meaningful, and can win the game?”

"What do you think?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"This..." Even Xun Yu Wang Zuo's talent is also out of order.

Qin Feng took out ten copper coins from his pocket, and said to Xu Chu beside him, "Zhongkang, you said ten copper coins, what kind of presents should I buy for His Majesty?"

"Ah?" Xu Chu was dumbfounded. He bulged his waist and said, "Ten copper coins, what can I buy? How many meat buns? It's not enough to beat a dog!"

Even Xun Yu, who was extremely opposed to extravagant gifts, had no choice but to say, "My lord, is this too little?"

"Too little?" Qin Feng rolled his eyes, then smiled, and said, "A lot!" He gestured with his arms, "I can buy a lot."

"Oh~." Xun Yu felt that his heart couldn't take it any longer. What kind of gifts should I buy? Can I buy a bunch of them?
Qin Feng would not embarrass his subordinates, so he said to Xu Chu: "So, so, so, you go and buy it, and when His Majesty celebrates his birthday, my lord, I will send it over."

Xu Chu and Xun Yu were shocked, their eyes popped out, even if they were killed, they would never have imagined that the lord would send such a thing.

Xu Chu couldn't help but said inwardly: "My lord is too good. Others give gifts of tens of thousands of guan, tens of thousands of 10,000+ big money. My lord only gives gifts of ten copper coins, which is still a lot."

After Xun Yu was shocked, he was extremely admirable, and said: "My lord's move is really a stroke of genius, and the meaning is too good. If you submit it, it will definitely alert the world. In order to alert the world, the lord is willing to set up a gamble. Xun Yu is ashamed , I misunderstood the lord at first. Xun Yu is really lucky to be able to follow the lord."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, and said: "Xun Yu knows my heart, and my lord's work is not in vain."

He grinned again, thinking that he didn't know if he could warn the world, anyway, it is true that he can still make money after saving money.

At this moment, Xun Yu was very ashamed. He thought that Qin Feng's gamble would not only blind the Lord but also offend His Majesty, but he did not expect that he was willing to take risks to warn the world.A thought couldn't help crossing Xun Yu's mind, "If the lord is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he will definitely be able to reopen the prosperous world!"
In this regard, Qin Feng killed three birds with one stone, which not only saved the money for giving gifts, but also made money, and also increased Xun Yu's loyalty.

However, the outcome of this matter has not really appeared yet, and caution is required.

Another two days, the fifth day of February.

Qin mansion, kitchen.

Qin Feng was covered in flour all over his body. He was kneading dough and preparing to make a set of pancakes for his beloved wives at night. "Pancake fruit, it's delicious."

Cai Yan, Mrs. Bian, Mrs. Yue, and the three beloved wives all helped out with great affection. They didn't look down on Qin Feng at all because he entered the kitchen. Instead, their hearts were full of sweetness.They are about to become the first two or three women in this world who eat the food made by their husbands himself.

They are old and happy.

"Knock on the eggs, touch the sauce, and by the way, deep-fried dough sticks." Qin Feng said.

Cai Yan couldn't help but said, "Husband, what are fried dough sticks?"

"This...you will know when I blow it up in a while." Qin Feng said.

Madam Bian couldn't help asking: "How did my husband learn to cook?"

Qin Feng sighed and said: "My husband was poor back then, and I couldn't afford to eat outside, but I wanted to eat, so I thought about making it myself."

Cai Yan, Mrs. Bian, and Xiaoyue's eyes turned red when they heard this.Then I felt that my husband must have suffered a lot, so I vowed to serve my husband well.
The girls in the back house began to discuss, "You can be a master only after you have endured hardships, and you are talking about our master."

"What an insult to gentleness, the master is a real hero, a real man."

Xiao Lan'er said: "Those lords of aristocratic families, apart from eating, drinking, having fun and reading a few books, they know nothing. Seeing that our lord can do everything, go to battle to kill enemies, handle government affairs, cook, bake pancakes and deep-fried dough sticks, yes The wives are so kind, they are really rare men who meet once in a thousand years!"

Qin Feng staggered for a while when he heard it, and thought that it would be fine to go to battle to kill the enemy and deal with government affairs, not to mention frying fried dough sticks.He couldn't help but said: "This is life, just study hard, it's not enough. Without life experience, you can't become a great talent!"

These words had a deep meaning. When Cai Yan and the others heard it, stars twinkled in their eyes.

"Fried dough sticks? This is not bad!" He had a whim, and hurriedly ordered: "Go, call me Zhou Shan. From now on, our chamber of commerce will sell fried dough sticks early in the morning."

After a while, the news of Zhou Shan's arrival reached the back house.

The three of Cai Yan rushed to tidy up Qin Feng, who was covered in white flour, and Qin Feng also stretched out his dragon claws, went up to this mountain to inspect, and went to that dragon valley to explore.It wasn't until the three daughters of Cai Yan begged for mercy and asked to come back to explore at night, they didn't stop.

After a while, a completely new Qin Feng came to the front hall of the house.

"Fried dough sticks, pancakes and fruit, morning, spicy soup..." Qin Feng sat down and said a few key words.

Zhou Shan, one of the best businessmen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was immediately taken aback, "My lord... My lord, what are fried dough sticks, pancakes, and spicy soup?"
