Wang Tang and Zhang Yi arrived outside Lin's house and announced their identities. The concierge was shocked after hearing this.
Wang Tang, the Minister of Household Affairs!
Zhang Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Official Affairs!
Two big bosses from North Korea and China came to visit at the same time.
This is amazing.
Today, Lin Feng is the Duke of the town, not an ordinary person. Therefore, Lin Feng's concierge knew who was in the court.
The calm look on the concierge's face turned solemn and he said: "Zhang Shangshu, Wang Shangshu, the Duke has gone to Bailu Mountain. It is estimated that he will not come back for a while. After all, there is still some distance to Bailu Mountain."
Zhang Yi frowned.
People are gone.
Such bad luck.
Zhang Yi looked at Wang Tang and started to back off, saying, "Xian brother, why don't we go back and come visit another day?"
Wang Tang said: "How can this be done? If we go back now, there will be no time later. Now that we are here, we can't give up halfway. Mr. Zhang, we don't have anything to do today anyway. We will wait at the Lin family for now until Lin Feng comes back."
Zhang Yi blinked.
Is everything okay?
Are you sure that Wang Tang, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and I, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, have nothing to do?
Zhang Yi thought for a while, then saw Wang Tang's determined look, and comforted himself that since he was already here, he couldn't leave just like that. He nodded and said: "Brother Xian is right, we have nothing to do anyway, so we are here at home. Wait."
The concierge was stunned.
Is this a minister?
Are these the two most powerful officials in the current government?
Why doesn’t it look like that!
The concierge cursed in his heart, feeling that the two ministers were talking and singing in harmony, clearly to stay in the house. The porter did not dare to delay. After all, the two ministers had spoken, so he could only wave his hand and said: "Two ministers, please come in."
Zhang Yi and Wang Tang nodded slightly and went straight inside.
The housekeeper Mo Twelve came quickly. After seeing Zhang Yi and Wang Tang, he directly asked people to serve tea and temporarily left.
Wang Tang took a sip of tea and clicked his tongue: "Mr. Zhang, look at this guy Lin Feng. The tea in his house is not ordinary. The tea leaves are all buds and leaves, and the roots stand upright. In the tea cup. The tea has a hint of greenness in the mouth, and in a blink of an eye, it is as fresh as after the rain, making people feel refreshed. This tea is not simple. I even didn't see this kind of tea in the Lin family's tea house .”
Zhang Yi commented: "It's really not simple. This tea is extremely expensive. I'm afraid most people can't afford it. It's definitely extraordinary."
The two of them drank tea and talked about the quality of the tea.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yi frowned and said, "Brother Xian, it's been so long and Lin Feng hasn't come back yet. Should we continue to wait?"
Wang Tang said: "Mr. Zhang, I've been waiting for half an hour. Is it possible that we just gave up halfway and just ignored it?"
"well……"
Zhang Yi said: "If you keep at it, I will be greedy when I think of ginseng wine. Lin Feng, this kid, really knows how to enjoy it."
Wang Tang nodded and said: "Yes, ginseng wine is good wine, and it is unique. Others do not have such ginseng wine. Especially this tea, which is also unique. It feels very good, and I am ready to ask for it. a little."
Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "Can you really say it?"
Wang Tang held his head high and said with a confident look: "I have something I can't say. I have an irreconcilable relationship with this guy Lin Feng. A little tea and wine are not worth mentioning."
Zhang Yi snorted and said, "Just blow it."
Wang Tang said: "This is a fact."
The two chatted again, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yi and Wang Tang sat so hard that their buttocks were numb, but Lin Feng still didn't come back. Even though Wang Tang pressed for inquiries from the people in the house, the housekeeper didn't know. He only knew that Lin Feng had gone to Bailu Mountain, and there was no news for the time being.
Zhang Yi was a little tired and asked: "Wang Tang, are you still waiting?"
"We have to wait!"
Wang Tang said: "After waiting for such a long time, are you willing to leave?"
Zhang Yi said: "I can't bear to part with you."
Wang Tang said: "It's almost noon now. I'm already here. Why don't you leave without having lunch?"
Zhang Yi gave a thumbs up and said, "I've convinced you."
While the two were chatting, the attendant at the gate was surprised when he listened to their discussion. One of these two is the Minister of Libu, and the other is the Minister of Hubu. He doesn't feel like a big boss, but like a mangy dog.
This is too thick-skinned.
The attendant could only listen.
At noon, Wang Tang and Zhang Yi stayed at home to have dinner.
The food at the Duke's Mansion is always excellent. The chef in the house has better cooking skills than those in Lin's restaurant. Even the chefs in the restaurant were all trained by the chefs in the Duke's Mansion.
Wang Tang and Zhang Yi didn't eat much at lunch, and it wasn't any delicacies, just simple roasted pork with soybeans, sliced fungus meat, crispy pork soup, and a small plate of pig head meat. It was a very simple dish.
However, this was made by the chef of the Duke's Mansion, and the taste was completely different.
After Wang Tang and Zhang Yi finished eating, both of them had bloated stomachs and looked satisfied.
Zhang Yi returned to the living room, drank tea after dinner, and said with emotion: "I have also been to the Lin family's restaurant for dinner. Many of the dishes there are memorable and can be said to be the delicacies of the world."
"Later, many people in Xianyang City imitated it and began to cook like the Lin family. The cooks in my house learned it, but they didn't look the same and the taste was very bad. But overall, they are just passable."
"It's a pity that compared to the chefs in the Duke's Mansion, what the chefs of the Zhang family cook is simply pig food. The taste is amazing. Very simple dishes, but they have completely different tastes. Even the same side dishes, Lin's Restaurant and Even the Duke’s Mansion can’t compare.”
Wang Tang stroked the beard under his chin and said slowly: "Lin Feng, this kid, always knows how to enjoy things. The drinks and food in his house are all excellent."
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "No wonder you and His Majesty liked to come to Lin Feng's house back then."
Wang Tang laughed and talked to Zhang Yi.
The attendants waiting on the side glanced at Wang Tang and Zhang Yi, but they secretly cursed.
What a fuss!
Isn’t that what the dishes at home are all like?
They, ordinary servants, had meat to eat every day and three meals a day. You must know that many people outside actually don't eat in the morning most of the time, and only eat lunch and dinner. The Lin family eats three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The servants in the house are extremely satisfied.
Wang Tang and Zhang Yi continued to wait, and Zhang Yi sighed: "Hey, Lin Feng went to Bailu Mountain, and I don't know when he will come back? I specially left my government affairs and came here to wait for him. If he doesn't come back today, , that’s not good.”
Wang Tang said: "I'll be back soon. What are you in a hurry for? You have something to eat and drink, so it's rare for you to have free time."
"You're right, that's true."
Zhang Yi also smiled.
While Wang Tang and Zhang Yi were chatting, time passed little by little, and another half hour passed.
At the gate of the Lin family, Lin Feng returned on horseback.
He went to Bailu Academy specifically to deliver wine to Xunzi and Han Qianqiu, but when the wine was delivered, Xunzi and Han Qianqiu went to inspect the area. The local White Deer Academy has been established, and the two elders know one academy from another, most of the time they are outside.
Lin Feng delivered the ginseng wine and came straight back. As soon as he came back, the steward Mo Twelve came up to him and reported: "My lord, Zhang Shangshu and Wang Shangshu are here. They have been here in the morning and are still waiting for you. My lord, they have been waiting for you." I’m waiting for you to come back, I’m afraid I have something important to do.”
"knew."
Lin Feng went straight inside.
When he entered the hall, he saw two people sitting in the hall drinking tea and chatting. He smiled and said: "Zhang Shangshu and Wang Shangshu, you two are here. What do you want to do?"
Wang Tang sat up straight and said, "Lin Feng, how are you preparing for the imperial examination? Do you need funding support from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Lin Feng said: "Everything is okay, I don't need the money for the time being."
Zhang Yi said: "Mr. Zhen Guo, how is the progress of White Deer Academy? Do you need the Ministry of Civil Affairs to dispatch some capable people to coordinate and support?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Excuse me, Zhang Shangshu, for my thoughts. Everything is fine now. I don't need help for the time being."
He murmured in his mind.
Zhang Yi and Wang Tang are both very busy people. If they don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there is definitely something going on.
Moreover, he is so kind and cheerful.
You must ask for something when you are polite, and I am afraid that the two of them have asked for something.
Lin Feng did not take the initiative to ask for the time being, but just talked to Zhang Yi and Wang Tang. Lin Feng didn't ask, but both Zhang Yi and Wang Tang were a little anxious. Zhang Yi glanced at Wang Tang, looking urging.
Wang Tang stopped talking in circles and said, "Lin Feng, I heard that you brewed a new wine called ginseng wine?"
"That's what happened."
Lin Feng understood immediately.
Ginseng wine!
The emperor must have brought ginseng wine for Wang Tang and Zhang Yi to drink, so they came directly.
Otherwise, no one would know about ginseng wine.
Lin Feng said directly: "Ginseng wine is a combination of many medicinal materials that I use to stimulate the medicinal properties of the wine. The brewed wine can strengthen the body and strengthen the body. It was only recently made successfully. Currently, it is not sold to the outside world. "
Wang Tang looked regretful, coughed slightly and said: "Oh, I have a bad health. After drinking a glass of wine given by Your Majesty, I feel energetic all over. I originally thought that I would buy some from you and drink some to support myself. Physically. I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t sell it.”
When Zhang Yi heard this, he secretly scolded Wang Tang for being shameless.
This guy didn't say he wanted to buy it.
It’s about begging.
Zhang Yi's thoughts changed, he coughed twice, and said: "I am also getting old, and I feel quite powerless recently. So I came here with Wang Shangshu to buy some ginseng wine. It is a pity that the Duke does not sell it to the outside world. .”
Lin Feng felt even more amused when he saw how miserable the two of them were.
Two powerful people are now really risking their lives for ginseng wine.
They can be called a shameless duo.
Lin Feng said directly: "Zhang Gong, Wang Gong, although ginseng wine is expensive, there is still this wine. Although it is not sold to the outside world for the time being, you two are different. I make the decision and give you some as a gift."
"You two, how about I give each of you ten kilograms of wine as a gift? You can only drink two taels of wine a day. Once you drink too much, your bones will definitely not be able to hold on. If you are not replenished, you will eventually harm yourself."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Wang Tang said directly: "The Duke is really a good man."
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The Duke of the State has a noble character, and I feel ashamed of it. I would like to thank the Duke for this."
Lin Feng ordered to go down, and someone brought up two jars of wine, each with ten kilograms of wine, and handed them to Wang Tang and Zhang Yi. The two of them were very happy after receiving the ginseng wine. After chatting for a while, they left directly.
Mo Twelve stood in front of Lin Feng and said: "My lord, although these two old men are in high and powerful positions, they are so shameless just for wine. They waited from morning to noon, and then had lunch at the house. With you. Now take the wine and leave."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "This is a good thing. I just gave away two jars of wine. After they took the wine, they must not be able to help sharing it. By then, the powerful people in Xianyang will know about it. My Lin family has been involved in wine, and has become famous since then. This matter has been fermenting for a while, and when ginseng wine is sold, it will become even more popular. They get the wine, and we don’t suffer. In the end, it is us who make the profit."
"The Duke is wise!"
After Mo Twelve heard this, he felt emotional in his heart.
Lin Feng's every move was not messy. Originally, he was worried about being drunk, but now it seems that he still made a profit.
