And, please, Lao Zhu, when you want to reprimand me, could you put down the squid skewers in your hand first? You don't have the majesty of an emperor.
If the ink could be produced earlier and the treasure banknotes could be printed earlier, he would be able to escape the crime earlier.
Doesn't it smell good?
Of course, the grilled squid also tastes very fragrant. But depending on the situation, I might not be able to eat it.
Sure enough, Lao Zhu saw that Han Du was still standing where he was.
He said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't go on, why are you still standing here? You don't have any eyesight. Do you think this is enough?"
Han Du almost vomited blood when he heard this.
I want to yell at Lao Zhu, I am not a cook!
But when I think of Lao Zhu, he doesn't care whether he is an official or a cook. In other words, even if he yelled out, it's not impossible that Lao Zhu might sneer and turn himself into a cook from now on.
Thinking of this, Han Du trembled all over and quickly bowed and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, okay, I'll go right now."
Han Du always did it, and Lao Zhu and others had enough to eat and drink.
Fortunately, after Lao Zhu had eaten and drank, he did not forget about Han Du. He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to do more and asked Han Du to go over and have something to eat.
Han Du was not polite. He put the last bit of cooked food on the table and sat down to eat.
Han Du hadn't taken a few bites when Lao Zhu suddenly spoke up.
"I heard in the past few days that you have been staying at the Banknote Printing Bureau every day. How is the printing of treasure banknotes going?"
Hearing this, Han Du ate the food quickly. He took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, and then replied: "Back to the Emperor, the only problem left in the printing of treasure banknotes is ink. As long as the ink can be solved, we can start printing treasure banknotes."
Lao Zhu nodded. Although Han Du had been making treasure banknotes for a little longer, since he was only just one step away from making the treasure banknotes, he would not say anything more.
Han Du saw Lao Zhu's expression relaxed, but his worries did not diminish at all.
Why is this damn ink thing so difficult to handle? Han Du was not sure whether the craftsmen could finish the ink within the limited time.
It would be fine if it could be done in time, but once the time dragged on and Lao Zhu lost his patience, Han Du didn't know what the outcome would be.
Just when Han Du was worried, Tang He interjected: "Isn't it easy to get the ink? I have good tung ink at my house. You can bring a few boxes back later."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu glanced at Tang He in surprise. Although Lao Zhu didn't know what the ink Han Du was talking about was, he at least knew that it was definitely not tung ink. Otherwise, if the problems that Han Du can solve with money are not problems with his character, how could he still be able to stop him?
This ink must not be that ink.
Lao Zhu made a judgment in his heart and looked at Tang He with a much calmer expression. "Brother Xian is still the same as before. He likes to speak directly."
Han Du was stunned on the spot when Tang He asked him. How should he answer? Let me explain to Tang He, what is printing ink? Or what does it take to make this ink?
After thinking about it, Han Du still decided to brush this section off first, "Han Du has thanked Duke Xin for his kindness, but Han Du has already figured out this matter and does not dare to bother Duke Xin."
'It's just a box of tung ink, what's the trouble? Tang He couldn't understand why, but he frowned and wanted to take care of everything.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu stopped him in time, "Okay, dear brother, since Han Du said he has an idea, don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Tang He also gave up the idea of continuing to help Han Du, and replied with a smile: "Yes. Whatever the superiors say will be done."
Lao Zhu had eaten and drank enough. When he saw that it was almost done, he got up.
"Go back to the palace."
Tang He, Han Du and others respectfully sent Lao Zhu away until he was outside the main gate.
It wasn't until Lao Zhu could no longer be seen that Tang He, Han Du and the others straightened up.
Zhu Biao naturally left with Lao Zhu, but Xu Da and Li Wenzhong stayed behind.
When Tang He saw the emperor leaving, he turned around and laughed and said, "Xian brother, Wenzhong, let's continue."
Xu Da turned around and went back in response to the soup, but he said: "It's okay to drink and eat meat. I was already full just now. It would be good to sit down and drink tea to relieve your appetite."
"Okay, it's up to you, just drink tea." Tang He laughed.
The few people returned to their original place, and Tang and them drank tea and chatted around another table.
Han Du was not in the mood to drink tea now. Tang and the others had eaten enough, but Han Du was still hungry. Back on the table, Han Du continued to eat with juice splashing.
After eating and drinking enough, Han Du had the energy to bring tea and meet Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others one by one.
When Tang He saw Han Du sitting down, his heart moved and he joked: "These things you made are really rare and delicious. They have unique effects when eaten. Why not open a restaurant that sells these things?"
After Tang He finished speaking, he winked and gave Han Du a look that every man would understand.
Han Du naturally understood what Tang He meant and couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.
Although oysters are good, don’t be greedy for too much!
What's more, at your age, if you die on a woman's belly one day, I will have to come to express my condolences to you.
Besides, is it that easy to sell these things?
Han Du raised his eyes and looked at Tang He and said: "Mr. Xin Guo, if you want to open a restaurant, you need a stable supply of goods. Otherwise, this business of selling one day and resting for three days, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days will be over sooner or later."
When Tang He heard that Han Du also wanted to open a restaurant, he patted his leg excitedly, "It's easy to have a stable supply of goods. I just ask my men to deliver it every day. Anyway, they have to go to sea every day for training and inspection. Salvaging some of these things is just a matter of hunting down rabbits. When the time comes, you just have to give them a price, just enough so that they can buy a drink."
Han Du was stunned when he heard this. Is the operation so cool? He actually asked his navy to fish for seafood?
Han Du pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "This, it seems inappropriate to use public tools for private use, right?"
"That's right," Tang He thought for a moment and nodded. Then he said: "If you think this is inappropriate, just ask them to bring some back during training every day and sell them on the beach? I will just send someone to collect them then."
Hmm~
This, isn't this changing the soup without changing the medicine?
But this way, at least it looks a lot better on the surface. Even if someone impeaches someone in the future, they can completely evade it. Push it to the soldiers of the navy or the servants who purchase it. One comes and two goes, and naturally nothing comes to an end.
