It is not a secret that Li Yuanqing was summoned by the little emperor Tianqi to go to Beijing overnight because of whale meat.

Within a few days, the news reached the ears of those who should know.

Pi Dao and Mao Wenlong just smiled at this matter.

Li Yuanqing has a holy family, which is also a good thing for Mao Wenlong, allowing the holy king to pay more attention to Dongjiang.

As for whale meat, how could Li Yuanqing forget him?

I'm afraid, he started eating it much earlier than the little emperor Tianqi.

Mao Wenlong is from Hangzhou. Frankly speaking, he prefers lighter tastes and is not too interested in this somewhat heavy-flavored whale meat. However, it is undeniable that when he enjoys whale meat, this kind of king of the ocean is superior.

The sense of sight made him feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

In Dengzhou, Yuan Keli also got Li Yuanqing's whale meat as promised, and at the same time learned the news of Li Yuanqing's visit to Beijing.

In the backyard of the Governor's Yamen, a pretty little maid made a pot of hot tea.

Yuan Keli sipped the tea lightly, letting the little maid beat her shoulders, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Li Yuanqing really underestimated him.

This man has quite a bit of ambition.

How to get along with him?

Yuan Keli tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and slowly fell into deep thought.

Liaoxi, Shanhaiguan.

At the temporary yamen of Jinglue Mansion, Sun Chengzong also got the news. Looking at the fried whale meat served by the servant, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but smile.

Although Li Yuanqing was able to enter Beijing this time through some small tricks, this person was capable and more capable. His entry to Beijing had a positive effect on promoting Liao affairs to a certain extent.

In the second year of Tianqi, Dongjiang was in full bloom, but his Liaoxi had just been established and was full of waste. He spent a lot of money, but did not see much effect.

It seems that Yuan Manzi's Ningyuan city building plan must be advanced a little earlier.

Also, the Ming Dynasty's defense line must be stabilized in Jinzhou and Daling River as soon as possible.

This is not in vain for the divine grace to shine upon you.

In Sun Yuanhua's house not far from the Jinglue Yamen, he finished a portion of fried whale meat and recalled the taste of whale meat. Sun Yuanhua was quite amused.

Li Yuanqing is an interesting person.

Is this guy loyal or traitorous?

Next door, Governor Yuan had a completely different attitude.

After finishing a portion of whale meat, he couldn't help but sneer, "I thought you were a person, but you're just a jester."

As he said that, he smiled disdainfully, waved his hand and asked people to clean up the plates and bowls, took out a military book, and read it carefully.

As the saying goes, "The book has its own house of gold, and the book has its own beauty like jade." Liao affairs still depend on literati like them.

Unlike Governor Yuan who did not recognize the iron ladle after he had eaten enough, Wu Sangui carefully looked at the whale meat on the plate in the camp at Qiantun Wu Xiang Station.

He really couldn't imagine how it was possible to fight a giant whale with only a mere manpower.

But Li Yuanqing did it, and put their meat on their dining table.

Seeing that his precious son was reluctant to move his chopsticks, Wu Xiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, why don't you eat?"

As he said this, he suddenly felt a little frustrated. If it weren't for his precious son, he really wouldn't be able to eat this whale meat.

Zu Dashou, I just came over and took some to try.

Now, in western Liaoning, whoever can get the whale meat sent by Li Yuanqing will be the glory of his family.

After all, the emperor has said that this whale meat is good, so how can it be wrong?

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Dad, this whale meat is very precious. Children must think carefully before eating it."

Wu Xiang couldn't help but was speechless. This whale meat was given to his son by Li Yuanqing. His son hadn't eaten it yet, so he couldn't use his chopsticks to taste it first. He smiled and said: "Uncle, it's just a piece of whale meat, why bother with it?"

Hurry up and finish your meal, and let's go to the military camp for inspection."

Wu Sangui nodded and suddenly said: "Li Yuanqing is a true hero. A true man, just treat him like this."

With that said, he started eating meat.

Wu Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, this...

A hundred miles away to the north, the Mangui garrison not far from the abandoned city of Ningyuan Guards was bustling with activity.

Today, it started to snow lightly and it was a bit cold, but on the frozen simple school ground, Man Gui was only wearing a single coat, with the skirt just covering her stomach, revealing her strong chest.

He stood by the campfire nearby, casually cut off a piece of whale meat with his dagger, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it. After a while, his mouth was full of oil.

"Good boy. This whale meat is really extraordinary. It's so chewy. Not bad, very good. No wonder the emperor said yes. Hahaha. Li Yuanqing, it's interesting and brotherly. Hahaha."

Next to them, several close friends hurriedly came over, "Sir, what does this whale meat taste like? Can you, can you let the brothers try it too?"

"You idiot. My brother gave this to me. What does it have to do with you?" Mangui rolled his eyes at these hundreds of households dissatisfied.

One of his confidants hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, General Li has sent you a hundred catties. Here, let's, let's just take a small bite, not as a meal..."

Although there are one hundred kilograms of whale meat, Man Gui is still a little reluctant to part with it, but so many men are watching helplessly, and the training is so hard, this...

"You little bastards, you have done a lot of training, but when it comes to eating meat, you are so energetic? Okay. Come on. Each person takes a small bite, and no one can bite more. Otherwise, I will beat him.

board."

Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed and came over to try it out one after another.

Soon, a large piece of whale meat disappeared, and Man Gui couldn't help but feel a pain in her body.

At this time, a hundred households had not eaten enough, and he also wanted to take some back for his wife and children to taste. After all, the emperor loved to eat this whale meat, which was comparable to dragon meat.

"Sir, look, can you, can you humble yourself and take my jar of good wine, and exchange it with you for a little bit? Just a little will do. Master, two liang, two liang will do."

Mangui glanced at this guy, and he knew that this guy had several jars of good wine in his house, and how many jars he had prepared for his daughter's wedding. It was definitely good wine.

"Hehe. It's not impossible to do this, but I want my daughter to be famous."

Although these hundreds of households were in pain, they could only grit their teeth and agree, "Master, keep your word, we have a deal."

The people around him also reacted and quickly imitated his example and began to bargain with Man Gui. For a while, Man Gui made a lot of money, which was more than enough for a good year.

…………

Zhangjiakou, the backyard of Qujia Trading Company.

Qu Mingrui also got the fresh whale meat that Li Yuanqing just sent over. Thinking about the news coming out of Beijing, he was simply flattered.

Although he was extremely wealthy, he never thought that he would be treated like the current emperor and enjoy such delicious food.

this……

Originally, he had little interest in associating with Li Yuanqing's vulgar warriors, especially since Li Yuanqing was located in a wilderness, which had no practical effect on him at all.

The key is that his sister was actually abducted by Li Yuanqing, which made the old man of the Qu family furious. He scolded him in public, which almost made it impossible for him, who was nearly fifty years old, to get off stage.

Fortunately, he was well-educated, and with Li Yuanqing's subsequent rise in fame, he gradually stabilized the situation. He secretly praised himself for making good friends with Li Yuanqing in advance, which was a wise move.

And now, the dividends are here.

The entourage recounted in detail how to eat the whale meat. Qu Mingrui was also very excited and said with a smile: "Just follow the way of eating the whale meat that was spread in the palace. Come, hurry up and prepare the stove, shelves, and...

Yes, the first lady, the second lady, the third lady... the eighth lady, forget it, call them all. I want to treat you."

"Yes." The servant hurriedly did it.

At this time, the old housekeeper outside the door hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Master, shopkeeper Jiexiu Fan is here."

"Which shopkeeper Fan?"

The Fan family has a prosperous population, and there are many shopkeepers, big and small. Qu Mingrui has a lot of contacts with them, but the relationship is not too close. Especially since the Fan family has a large business and is already the leader of Shanxi merchants, this makes Qu Mingrui feel more at ease.

I don't feel very comfortable and I don't want to interact with Fan's family.

The old shopkeeper hurriedly whispered: "Master, this is Fan Yongdou."

Qu Mingrui's smiling face suddenly froze, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, "This old fox, what is he doing here?"

As the eldest son of the Qu family, Qu Mingrui's role model, or opponent, since childhood has been Fan Yongdou.

Since he was a child, the old man has taught him that if you look at Fan Yongdou, Qu Mingrui's ears will be calloused.

Even now, he still can't escape the shadow of this bad day. Moreover, the Fan family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually become a being that everyone in the Qu family looks up to. Even if he wants to pursue it, he is deeply exhausted.

"I don't know, I don't know. However, the gift he brought is very rich, probably worth a thousand taels of silver, and he is waiting outside? Master, are you going to see him or not?"

Qu Mingrui didn't have the guts to block a giant like Fan Yongdou from the door. He thought for a while and said, "Let the ladies wait. I'll meet this Fan first."

"yes."

Not long after, Fan Yongdou walked into the inner hall with a smile, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Qu, I haven't seen you for a few days, your style is even better than before."

"What the heck, Shopkeeper Fan is so proud of himself that he doesn't want to show off his eyebrows." Qu Mingrui agreed with a smile.

Fan Yongdou couldn't hear the thorn in his words, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, 'This old guy, with his level of Qi cultivation, still wants to fight with me?'

But today he had something to ask for, so he had to endure his temper, pretending not to hear the thorn in his words, and chatting with Qu Mingrui with a smile.

Seeing that Fan Yongdou was so easy to talk to today, Qu Mingrui was also a little surprised.

People carry people in sedan chairs.

Gradually, his attitude softened, and the two of them talked and laughed happily, becoming very harmonious.

At this time, the servants outside had brought the brazier and set up the stand. Fan Yongdou couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Qu, what are we going to do?"
