Later, Arhat came back with the IOU.
Cao An was making the dipping sauce for the evening pot-shabu shabu-shabu. The smell was a bit spicy and pungent, and he sneezed unconsciously after just a slight sniff.
"This wild dogwood is pretty good. Although it's not as spicy as chili peppers, it's much stronger than mustard."
While Cao An was tinkering, he turned around and said, "Is the IOU ready?"
"If I get back to Lang Jun, this time Hu Wei will borrow a total of 5,000 yuan, with an annual interest of 1,500 yuan."
Arhat looked at the IOU seriously and estimated in his mind: "He should repay us the interest every month, one hundred and two... No, it should be one hundred..."
"Okay, just give the specific amount to the accountant."
Cao An saw the troubled look on his face and smiled and said: "Study more in the future, and you will be able to get rid of the name of a gangster in the future. I am doing this for your own good, you know?"
"Yes, Mr. Lang is as kind as a mountain to the villain!"
Arhat bowed solemnly and said: "If I hadn't met you at the base of the city wall that day, I would have been ruined in this life. It was Lang Jun who gave me a chance to be reborn. I am grateful to you in this life!"
"stop!"
Cao An pointed at him with his chopsticks and said with a straight face: "If a third person knows about this, I will definitely let you go to Qingzhou and be with that Qin Fang!"
Damn it, can my dark history be publicized casually?
"Yes Yes!"
Arhat's heart trembled and he hurriedly said: "The villain will definitely rot in his stomach!"
"What's going on?"
At this time, Zhao Yunsheng came in from outside.
Cao An rolled his eyes at him and continued to mix the dipping sauce: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't So-and-so come?"
Zhao Yunsheng pulled various materials on the chopping board and frowned: "I'm choking. What are you doing with all this? Don't tell me, you want to eat it!"
“Have you ever had hot pot?”
"nonsense!"
Zhao Yunsheng rolled his eyes at him.
Hot pots have been around since the Han Dynasty, and now they are even more varied. It is said that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin liked hot pot, especially fish soup.
"What I made is an upgraded version of hot pot, called hot pot!"
Cao An pointed at the strange-looking copper pot on the table and said with a smile: "In the past, hot pots didn't have any dipping ingredients. You could eat all kinds of things as soon as they were boiled, and the soup base was also very simple... The soup base in a certain shop was delicious. , spicy and fragrant, and paired with soul dipping sauce. Tsk tsk...it’s absolutely amazing!”
He thought about the various hot pots in later generations, and he almost cried out.
"Okay, I won't leave today. Let's have a taste of your hot pot."
Most rich people like to eat it.
They were not short of money and spent all day studying how to enjoy it, and many delicacies came out like this.
Then, Zhao Yunsheng smiled and said: "By the way, what were you two talking about just now? Why did it have to rot in the stomach? Who did you trick again?"
"Go away, you are a gentleman!"
Cao An rolled his eyes at him.
"No, there's definitely something fishy here."
Zhao Yunsheng deliberately kept a straight face, glared at Luo Han and said, "Say it!"
"Villain..."
Arhat naturally didn't dare to say anything, but he also didn't dare to disobey Zhao Yunsheng. His big dark face was filled with confusion.
"You won't say it, right?"
Zhao Yunsheng joked: "The day before yesterday, your gangsters fought each other in the street because they were fighting for territory. When I go back, I will say hello to the inspection department and let them investigate."
The role of rogues is to occupy territory and seize territory.
Cao An also tacitly approved of this matter.
After all, there are a lot of gangsters in the city, and many things don't make sense. They have to beat him until he cries for father and mother, and then they will know how to be afraid.
"Please spare me, young master."
Arhat said with a sad face: "That happened because Wang Laoqi and others were careless and bullied the merchants of our chamber of commerce, so I taught them a lesson."
Zhao Yunsheng was even more rogue than him. He tilted his head and said with a smile: "No matter what the reason is, what do you think you should do about this matter anyway?"
Cao An rolled his eyes at him and cursed angrily: "Can you do it? Are you trying to scare someone on someone's territory? What about ruining the place?"
Arhat also wanted to cry but had no tears: "This is the husband's secret, the villain really can't tell it!"
"Tch, he has a secret, how can he not know it?"
Zhao Yunsheng squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "You mean what happened when he entered the city, right?"
"..."
Cao An's movements stopped abruptly.
"Look, I guess this is what happened."
Zhao Yunsheng smiled proudly and said: "What a secret this is! Someone knew about it on the first day you entered the city. Haha! You can't figure it out!"
"..."
Cao An's face was already blue.
Arhat was trembling beside him.
Zhao Yunsheng seemed not to have heard anything, and continued with a laugh: "After I told Mr. Fan about this, he laughed from ear to ear. He also said that your boy has the potential to dig tunnels."
…
It's getting dark.
In the room, Cao An and Zhao Yunsheng sat down around the table. A copper pot with a vent in the middle was steaming. Various ingredients were added to it, and a layer of light yellow butter floated on it.
There was no chili, so I had to make do with it.
Cao An got him some dipping sauce and said, "You can eat the mutton just by rolling it. It's amazing with the dipping sauce made by a certain person. You try it."
"good!"
Zhao Yunsheng's mouth was already watering. He picked up two pieces of mutton and couldn't wait to dip them in the sauce and stuff them into his mouth.
Well?
The next second, his eyes widened and his whole body became stiff.
Cao An's smile continued: "How is it? It tastes good, right?"
"Uh! Uh-huh..."
Only then did Zhao Yunsheng react. He jumped up from his seat and sprayed out a long distance.
"Bah! Bah!"
He bared his teeth and spat, and kept fanning his mouth with both hands, making his eyes bulge.
"What's wrong? It tastes bad?"
Cao An looked confused, then took another chopstick to taste, frowned and said, "It tastes delicious! Is it not to your liking? Hurry, drink some water and rinse it out."
He took the cup and pressed it to Zhao Yunsheng's mouth without any explanation.
The latter subconsciously poured it into his mouth. As soon as he swallowed a mouthful, his eyes bulged again...
"Hey!"
A mouthful of vinegar sprayed all over the floor.
Zhao Yunsheng's eyes were filled with fire, and he cursed vaguely: "Cao An! You are too damn cruel...I, I am not done with you!"
"ah!"
Cao An then looked at the cup in his hand with a stunned look on his face: "Wrong, wrong! This is jealousy... It's true that Arhat, someone clearly told him to pour a glass of water!"
"Cao An!"
Zhao Yunsheng became even more angry when he saw his performance.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Cao An said with a sincere face: "After I got into trouble with Goudong, my mind has been good and bad. I never meant to offend the young master, I'm really sorry!"
Zhao Yunsheng no longer wanted to break up with him.
His eyes widened, feeling all kinds of stimulation in his mouth, and he walked around the room: "Water! Water!"
"Oh, yes!"
Cao An also walked around the room, picked up a cup and handed it over, and said hurriedly: "No, this is oil...this! That's not right...this is right!"
After drinking a glass of water, Zhao Yunsheng felt much better.
After waiting for a while, he sat back down again and said angrily, "You are a real grandson! Didn't I just make a joke to you? Are you fucking planning to kill me?"
"You really didn't mean it."
Cao An raised his hands with a sincere look on his face: "It's just that I put too much ginger juice, and gave mustard as dogwood... and that cup of vinegar, this matter really has nothing to do with so and so, it was all done by Arhat!"
"Okay, do you think I will believe it?"
Zhao Yunsheng stared at him angrily.
"Then you eat my head office?"
Cao An handed the dipping sauce to Zhao Yunsheng with an innocent face.
The latter smelled it first, then dipped his chopsticks in it suspiciously to taste it, and then felt relieved.
He hissed and said: "This wild dogwood is really spicy. I have eaten it before, but it didn't taste as good as this one. Well, the mutton is also very tender and delicious!"
After being attracted by the delicious food, Zhao Yunsheng temporarily forgot about the suffering just now.
