Chapter 10 Preparing for the Poetry Party
Gao Chong shouted: "Taizu's Holy Edict: In our Gao family, military officers will dismount and civil servants will dismount! Since we are here to discuss things, why do these two idiots dare to bring their knives in? Get out of here now, otherwise I will sue you a King of Conqueror and behead you and show you to the public."
The two big men were very majestic when facing Li and Qiu Yue just now. Now they were taught a lesson by Gao Chong. They were immediately stunned and kept looking at Dong Wen with their eyes.
"You are waiting at the door, you really don't understand the rules!" Dong Wen glanced at them fiercely and ordered.
The two ran away in shame. Gao Chong sat across from Dong Wen and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me! If possible, our Gao family would not be embarrassed by the parents."
Gao Chong put himself in an active position with just one sentence. You are here to ask us for help. As for whether we are willing to help, that is our problem.
"Little Prince, that's the case. My elder brother, oh, is the prefect of Zhending and the military and national affairs of the military and national affairs. Since he took office, he has found that the people of Zhending are suffering from bandits and the people are living in poverty. If you want to strengthen the army and eliminate bandits, you will be able to restore the sky one by one.
But because the government treasury has no money and food, it is impossible to recruit soldiers, so it is impossible to protect the country and the people. We want to spend some money specifically to train the volunteers of the village. The Gao family has always been a model in the village. I think Mrs. Li and the little prince don’t want to see the restlessness of their hometown!”
"What do I think of? It turns out that it is this! As a true decisive family, our Gao family has no choice but to rely on the servants at home to shock the thieves. Since Lord Dong wants to recruit volunteers and brave soldiers, we must not fall behind.
Let’s do this! We also train a team of righteous men to protect the country and the people, and donate 100 volts to Lord Dong to recruit righteous men.”
"100 guan?" Dong Wen gritted his teeth secretly. Are you sending the beggar? He smiled and said, "Little Prince, 100 guan is just a drop in the bucket. This is too little, it won't work?"
"Our family is not much 100 trump card. Lord Dong, Zhending Mansion is not just a Gao family. If each family gives out 100 trump card, no matter how many troops you raise, you will not be afraid."
"Little Prince, as the first family in Zhending, the Gao family is really unable to explain to the adults!"
"If you can't explain, don't explain it. Our Gao family doesn't need to make any explanation to him or her."
"Little Prince, you are really crazy. If you really hit me, you will lose more than you."
"He comes and let him come! Although our Gao family has passed down the poetry and books, some people have forgotten that we are born. If they really dare to come, they will definitely let him die."
Dong Wen stood up and said, "Okay! Since the little prince said that, we will have a date later!" Dong Wen and his two subordinates left angrily.
Li complained to Gao Chong and said, "You child, as the saying goes, rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Dong Wen is a real villain. Give him some money to avoid disaster. What's your name to him!"
Gao Chong smiled and said, "What my mother said is right, but this kind of villain is unsatisfied. If you give it to him once, he will wait for you ten thousand times later. We can't afford to lose everything when we lose everything!
Don’t worry, Mom! I won’t be able to see Dong Cai even though I’m still seeing him, Mom will give him to me!”
"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I won't care about this anymore, you must have handled it. By the way, remember, it's going to Double Ninth Festival soon. Remember to go to the poetry meeting." As she said that, she returned to the study with the help of Mingyue.
Dong Wen took two guards out of the Gao family and got into a sedan chair and headed straight for Zhending City in shame. The two guards were their confidants. They were insulted today and said a little angrily: "Third Master, are we going to let them go like this?"
Dong Wen gritted his teeth viciously and said, "Don't worry, since they are so ignorant, let's start with their servants, find an excuse to arrest them, and give them a warning first.
If they still have to resist stubbornly, let us 3,000 brothers who are like wolves and tigers, let them have a good time."
"Gao! So high! The third master is really worthy of being the adult's confidant military advisor!" The two confidants nodded and complimented.
After solving this Dong Wen, Gao Chong went back to see Gao Baobao and Gao Wei recruited the righteous bravery. The Gao family's righteous bravery requirements were very strict. Although dozens of people signed up, not many were able to pass the test.
Gao Baobao and Gao Wei were a little anxious, so they were persuaded by Gao Chong for a few words and then continued to recruit. Gao Chong went back to continue to host his own chef training class.
After about an hour of talk this time, everyone left happily. Gao Chong suddenly found that Ding Zhou was a little frowning.
"Ding Zhou, is there anything wrong? Tell me?"
Ding Zhou hurried forward and said, "Little Prince, do you know that the magistrate Cai Jing is preparing to hold a Double Ninth Festival poetry meeting?"
"Didn't it be said that his son Cai Songnian was convened? Why did it become Cai Jing again?"
"Cai Songnian, an eighth-rank manager, joined the army, did he have such great face to invite all the celebrities; of course, it was the Lord Tongzhe who came forward, but it was all for his son to make his name."
"What kind of mother is this? I am afraid of losing face, so I sacrificed my son?" Gao Chong secretly complained in his heart.
"Ding Zhou, the judge is going to hold a poetry meeting. What's wrong with you? You're worried about it here."
"Young Prince, that's not what he said. He held a poetry meeting, but gave the matter to our Yanfenglou. Although Yanfenglou is the first place in real life, Lord Cai is from Tokyo. He has eaten and seen it. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for us to not be well received?"
"Is Yanfeng Tower our family?" Gao Chong also knew that this Zhending Mansion's number one building was secretly shocked. However, in recent years, Yanfeng Tower has been squeezed down by other competitors, and can only be regarded as the first building in the past...
"Of course, although our Gao family mainly manages land and grain, Yanfenglou and our Kaiping nectar also make money every day; now Yanfenglou is a villain who is in charge of it."
"Kaiping nectar? Is it wine? Our Gao family still brews wine by ourselves?" Gao Chong was stunned for a moment.
"That's of course! This Kaiping nectar is not only for our Gao family, including the Gao family in Bozhou and the Gao family in Bohai. It is also sold out, and is often in short supply."
"Okay! Leave Ding Zhou to me! We must let them know the power of our Gao family and promote our Gao family's business."
Ding Zhou looked confused, Gao Chong snorted coldly, "Stop saying anything, take me to see Kaiping Nienju."
Ding Zhou said in embarrassment: "Little Prince, this winery is no longer here. He is in the manor, which is closer to Taihang, which is convenient for mountain spring transportation. However, it is dozens of miles away from us. It is too late now and there is no moon, so it is inconvenient to move!"
"You! Forget it, I didn't say it clearly. I didn't want to see the winery. I said if there is any wine?"
Ding Zhou suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, our family also stores a hundred and ten jars, and they are all excellent aged wine."
"That's great. I'll draw a sketch of a distiller. If you find someone to create it tomorrow, I will be of great use. The future of our Gao family may be on him."
Ding Zhou looked at the drawings in his hand and still couldn't understand what this thing had to do with the future of the Gao family; but the little prince had already taken care of everything, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he quickly agreed and ran out.
The next day, Gao Chong did not practice martial arts or guided his mother to practice arithmetic. He and his mother asked for leave and said they wanted to equip the Double Ninth Festival, so they secretly ran to the kitchen.
"Go and get a basket of eggs, and some candy and vinegar!" Gao Chong said, and told his subordinates to prepare quickly.
"Make me a bowl of egg white, add a little salt, vinegar and a spoonful of sugar, and stir it aside; call me when it gets thicker."
The master agreed and went to the operation. Gao Chong turned around and called two people to come and said, "You go and stir the remaining egg yolks with sugar, and you go and get a bag of flour and siftly sift it."
Ding Yunniang was unwilling to be outdone and said, "Little Prince, what are the maids doing? Please give me instructions."
"Xiao Yunniang is really diligent. She goes to find some fruits and brings some of them no matter what season."
"Don't worry, little prince, I'll go now, it's the best and sweetest." She turned around and ran out.
"Don't watch it anymore. It's a strength to stir. Let's go and help me and replace it."
Gao Chong asked someone to come and replace him quickly, but he himself began to wander around his own oven, thinking about how to transform him.
Gao Chong asked the kitchen servants to transform the stove according to his own ideas. At this time, Ding Yunniang had already come to the kitchen with a blue-word fruit.
"Little Prince, I have found all the things I can find. What else do I need to do?"
"Treat it! Cut it into small pieces for me."
Ding Yunniang agreed to start the operation. Gao Chong and the others placed the stove. Looking back, they found that Ding Yunniang had cut a pot of fruit pieces, some of which were carved into various shapes with carving knives.
Gao Chong smiled and nodded. Although Ding Yunniang was only 10 years old, she was a caring child. Perhaps only she could inherit her cooking skills best.
"Yun Niang, come on, I'll teach you how to carve. Let's start with the simplest." Gao Chong walked to Ding Yunniang and pinched a piece of fruit. Ding Yunniang looked excitedly, and sweat was slightly raised on her smooth nose.
Gao Chong's hand turned slightly, and soon a heart-shaped piece of fruit appeared.
"Little Prince, how did you do it?" Ding Yunniang exclaimed. Gao Chong picked up the pieces and said, "Look carefully." His fingers were proficient in movements, and soon they became a heart-shaped figure.
By the time Ding Yunniang spent all her efforts to carve these, the cream and dough of others had already been prepared!
Chapter completed!
