Chapter 42 Why?

Xu Mansion, Xu Junqian stood with a bitter face, and heard from his sister Xu Zhaopei scolding:

"You are not young anymore, and you have eaten all kinds of delicacies. Why? Now that you are drinking, you actually like to eat fish and croaker?"

"You can send a few cans to your brother, is it embarrassing to throw them away!"

"Sister, I..."

"Stop it! It's big or small, my sister hasn't finished speaking, how dare you interrupt?"

Xu Junqian complained in her heart and could only listen silently.

"Say, what's so delicious about this red croaker? It's all your soul? It's fine if you eat it at home, but you'll give it to others. Just forget it if you're shameless. We've lost all our faces!"

"Hey? Sister, what's your attitude?"

Seeing this, Xu Junqian quickly cried out: "Sister! This red croaker is completely different from ordinary fish croaker, as the saying goes..."

Seeing that his sister was staring at her, Xu Junqian quickly changed the subject: "Kangle Gong is fishing and making fish and croakers to send relatives and friends. This is a good story. Why is it embarrassing to send a few cans of fish and croakers to his brother?"

"Mr. Kang Le? Do you have the face to compare yourself with Kang Le?" Xu Zhaopei raised his eyebrows and looked at his younger brother.

Kang Legong, the former general of Jin chariots and cavalry, Xie Xuan, Xie, the Duke of Kang Legong, defeated the Qin army in a battle of Feishui, and made Jin safe. The Xie family of Chen County was promoted from a high-ranking rank.

"Oh, how can my brother be better than Mr. Kang Le? This is not a story from the predecessors. Sister, don't be upset." After Xu Junqian said that, she saw that her sister's face was a little better, and asked quickly:

"Does the prince like to eat this red croaker?"

"Yeah, that's OK." Xu Zhaopei nodded, not so angry.

"I heard that Fan Poyang gave the king a few cans of red beetles?"

"Yes, why, you're right?"

"No, I heard that Fan Poyang also gave him a few cans to King Xuancheng. As the saying goes, the gift is light and affection is heavy. Although this red croaker is not worth a lot of money, it has a unique flavor and is not available anywhere else. There is nothing shameful about giving gifts."

"How do you know that it's not embarrassing?" Xu Zhaopei asked back.

"Fan Poyang has always been sluggish in his spare time. He sent fish and croakers. No one else said anything. You, a concubine, even wearing gold and silver, gave fish and croakers? I'm afraid that it's not that my Xu family has fallen into the trap!"

"How could it be? Kangle Gong sends fish and croakers a good story. Although I don't give fish and croakers a good story, no one will say strange things."

Xu Junqian advised carefully, knowing that his sister was just taking an excuse to lose her temper. It was not that he gave fish to his brother, but that the king was angry with the king to favor the Wang sisters.

To be precise, it was a few days ago when good news came from Poyang, which made the king very happy.

So the Wang sisters were asked to sleep with each other.

This incident made my sister very angry and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she came to bully her younger brother.

This is actually nothing. Xu Junqian is used to it. Sometimes he comes to the fun and often sleeps with several concubines. As a man, what's wrong with a beauties?

But he dared not tell his sister that the reason why the king was so "out of his composure" was because good news came one after another in Poyang, especially the "water copper mine" of water-burning copper in Le'an. Now it is verified that the output is expected to be astonishing.

Therefore, the king was very happy, so it would be natural to take advantage of the excitement of the daughter.

Seeing that it was already the evening meal, Xu Junqian asked, "Sister, why not eat me before going back?"

Seeing Xu Zhaopei nodding, Xu Junqian quickly asked someone to prepare a meal and then talked to her sister.

Xu Zhaopei was really angry. He came here to complain to his younger brother, scolding Xiao Shicheng (Xiao Yi's name) for being debaucherous, and scolding the Wang sister for being shameless.

Xu Junqian knew that her sister would speak very badly, so she specially asked the servants to avoid it. The words of the sister and the brother would not be heard by a third party.

The two of them talked for a while, and the maids brought the meal. Xu Zhaopei didn't care, but smelled a special fragrance.

She saw a plate of red fish croakers and asked, "Red fish? Is this the red fish?"

"Yes, it's Poyang's red croaker, which has only appeared recently."

"What did you ask them to come up to do? Take it away!"

"Don't, sister might as well try it. It's really unique in flavor. It's still good to try it occasionally."

"I won't eat it!"

"Sister is afraid?"

"Scared? Who can I be afraid of!"

"Then try it."

Xu Junqian was scolded by her sister a lot, and she roughly understood her temper. After a few words, Xu Zhaopei nodded and tasted the red croaker.

Xu Zhaopei took a bite and was stunned.

Fish croaker is a common fish product, and it tastes sour, but the red croaker is full of rich and fragrant flavor.

This smell greatly increases appetite. Xu Zhaopei has eaten many delicacies, but remembers that he has tasted such a flavor.

The croaker on the plate is different in color than the ordinary croaker, and it turns out to be crimson.

This fish croaker with a dark red sticky appearance smells fragrant and tastes more fragrant. Its flavor is obviously different from that of ordinary fish croaker and is more delicious.

Moreover, the taste of fish meat is different from that of ordinary fish. The ordinary fish meat is softer, while the red fish meat is harder.

This kind of red croaker is indeed unique.

Xu Zhaopei thought so and couldn't help but continue to eat. Seeing that Xu Junqian was eating with relish, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Hoho, I said I won’t eat it. Is it really delicious if I don’t eat it?

The red croaker was sent by Li Li, and Xu Junqian was quite interested in this: there are actually people in the world who can make ordinary fish croaker into such a flavor, but I don’t know what seasonings were used.

Although red croaker is also a fish croaker, which is cheap and not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, it is also good to eat it as a home-cooked dish from time to time.

After a while, Xu Zhaopei saw his younger brother put a porcelain jar next to the desk, and was puzzled. After seeing it clearly, he felt unbelievable: "Is this... white, white porcelain jar?"

"Yes, white porcelain, Poyang's white porcelain is very popular nowadays. It is used to hold red beads. I don't know if it's to buy a box and return a bead, or fish and bear's paw..."

Xu Junqian looked at her sister with a smile: "Sister, I have a way to get some white porcelain utensils from Poyang..."

"What did you tell me about this? I don't want it!"

"Oh, sister doesn't want it, the prince always wants it. Besides, those officials have shown off some rare treasures in front of sisters all day long, now..."

"Ahem." Xu Zhaopei coughed dryly and waved his hand: "You...you can do it."

"yes."

About half an hour later, Xu Zhaopei returned to the palace, and Xu Junqian turned to the study, looked at Li Li's letter and felt deeply moved.

This kid is really different...

Of course, Xu Junqian is well-informed, so she knows what happened in Poyang over the past period of time.

Xinping Bai porcelain and Le'Shui Copper Mine were established. After the official kiln, it would inevitably gather popularity and wealth. Then, Poyang, where the waters of the south and north Poyang gather, will gradually prosper.

Merchants from all over the world were moved and gathered in Poyang. This small place, Poyang, may become a top-notch Jiangzhou area in the future, as famous as Xunyang, Fengcheng and Nanchang.

So, Li Li will become more and more like a fish in water.

Xu Junqian felt that Li Li was extraordinary. It is said that he was involved in the white porcelain incident. It seems that the emergence of the white porcelain craftsmanship is inseparable from Li Li.

Li Li and his friend Peng Jun jointly set up a fish croaker farm to make red croaker with unique flavors, and then they were packed in ceramic jars and porcelain jars and sold to the public.

I don’t know what method Li Li used to make Poyang’s inner historian Fan Xu also put on a “set” and gave the red beetle in white porcelain as a gift, including the King of Xiangdong and the King of Xuancheng.

Who is the King of Xuancheng? The eldest son of the current crown prince can be said to be the Emperor Daliang many years later.

Fan Xu was once the attendant of the King of Xuancheng and had a good relationship with the King of Xuancheng. It was normal to send a few cans of red croakers in white porcelain.

Xu Junqian also received the red croaker from Li Li, and became more and more impressed by this kid's management ability.

Looking back at the beginning, he wanted Li Li to join the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion to accompany the prince. It was indeed true that the prince would be much happier if he had such a person to accompany him.

However, Li Li's luck is not good, but now, it is impossible for Xu Junqian to re-report the old things.

Because Li Li is now one of the three traits, the subordinate of the young master Xu Jian.

Thinking of this, Xu Junqian felt a little regretful: You are only sixteen years old, why don’t you want to wait a few more years but want to curry favor with slandered ministers?

Why are you so anxious?
