Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 38 I really want too much, and the young master’s family has no food left! (Additional updates on weekends!)

"Gentleman, after you finish drinking the milk tea outside, can you please take this pot out as well?"

Yu Ji entered the kitchen, picked up the last pot of milk tea, and asked reluctantly.

Qin Mo opened a spice box next to the pot, pinched out a few soaked pearls from it, stuffed it into her mouth, winked and said, "Keep it, it will be enough for you to drink for a few days."

Yu Ji sweetly narrowed her crescent eyes, smiled and took the milk tea outside.

Qin Mo smiled and shook his head, picked up the whisk and fished out bowls of hand-made noodles from the pot, poured them with the hot and sour sauce that had been simmered all afternoon, sprinkled them with chopped chives, and took them out to the table.

Nowadays, the stone mill made by Shaofu Supervisor has spread in the market.

Qin Mo felt it was necessary to cultivate the good habit of eating pasta among Qin people.

After all, if Lao Shaan doesn’t eat noodles, can he still be called Lao Shaan?

"Come, come, don't be too shabby!"

Qin Mo held the tray and placed bowls of steamed noodles in front of the princes and princesses.

Smelling the spicy, sour and fragrant smell, all the princes and princesses couldn't help but swallow their saliva and looked at Fusu eagerly.

Fusu stood up and said: "It is a great kindness for Mr. Qin to cook the delicious food with his own hands. How can we say it is shabby? We brothers and sisters can only thank you for the hospitality."

The princes and princesses then said, "Thank you so much for your hospitality, sir!"

Qin Mo felt ashamed: "My family is in a tight situation, so the hospitality is nothing more than a common meal."

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold!"

After saying that, he asked Yu Ji to sit in the first place, took the lead in picking up the big bowl, and ate with them.

Seeing that the host was already in action, the young princes and princesses were no longer polite. They all picked up their chopsticks and buried them in the sea bowl, which was bigger than their heads, and started eating.

The older princes and princesses could still maintain their manners at first, but when they took a bite of the noodles and the delicious soup, they forgot about everything and all of them were dripping with juice!

Qin Mo made another pot of noodles in the kitchen, poured the sauce on it and brought it to the servants waiting outside the courtyard: "The house is cramped, I'll wait for you guys, eat some soup noodles to warm yourself up."

All the servants were frightened and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Slave, thank you, Prime Minister Qin, for giving us food!"

…

Princess Huayang Ying Yuanman reached out and poked Fusu, then pointed at Qin Mo outside the courtyard: "Brother, look."

Fusu raised his head and glanced, then buried his head and continued, saying vaguely: "Prime Minister Qin has always been like this, and he treats the people of Zhao the same way, suck~"

"Even if you and I are royals, in his eyes, you are no more noble than others!"

Yuan Man was speechless, lowered his head and took a sip of the sour soup, and suddenly said: "Brother, I want to ask you something."

Fusu answered without raising his head: "No question~"

Yuan Man was about to speak, but Qin Mo had already returned and sat in the first place alongside Yu Ji: "Why doesn't Princess Huayang eat? But it doesn't suit your appetite?"

Yuan Man met his concerned gaze, blushed for no apparent reason, lowered his head and said, "This soup is very delicious."

"Princess, don't be cautious. Let's eat some noodle soup to satisfy our stomach first, and there will be side dishes and wine later."

Qin Mo greeted her, picked up a bowl, and started eating in a daze.

Yu Ji looked at Yuan Man, whose pretty face was red, and thought to herself: [Looking like this, she doesn’t look like she’s being reserved!]

Qin Mo was accustomed to eating quickly in the army. He was the last to eat, but he was the first to finish. He wiped his mouth and went back to the kitchen.

He tilted it slightly and brought out some braised pork, braised chicken feet, fried peanuts, twice-cooked pork and other snacks, as well as several jars of fruit wine.

When people in Qin have a banquet, they eat the staple food first and then the food and wine, which is very pragmatic!

After drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, the princes and princesses lost all restraint and asked Qin Mo and Fu Su about the process of conquering beyond the Great Wall.

The young masters in particular were very concerned about the situation outside the Great Wall because they might not be sealed off that day.

Qin Mo and Fu Su naturally knew everything, from raiding the Xiongnu to conquering the Yueshi, and they also objectively evaluated the combat power of the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall.

"There are many cavalrymen of that generation, and they come and go like the wind. If we hadn't caught them off guard this time, even if a hundred thousand warriors passed by, we would have been able to defeat them but not destroy them."

"Although the Xiongnu, Yuezhi, Donghu and other large clans have been wiped out, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net in the vast expanse outside the Great Wall."

"There are even some small tribes that have not yet formed a climate."

"Young masters, if you seal the country outside the fortress, you must train your soldiers more and carry out clearing operations at the right time. Otherwise, it will end up like King You of Zhou, which will not be beautiful!"

Qin Mo told the young masters in a serious tone.

The faces of all the young masters turned pale, including the youngest Hu Hai. The braised chicken feet and fruit wine in their hands suddenly no longer tasted good.

"Prime Minister Qin, your feudal state is also outside the Great Wall. Can you help us train our soldiers?" General Lu asked tentatively.

The young masters' eyes lit up, fearing that he would not agree.

The foreign tribes outside the Great Wall that Qin Mo was able to fight were destroyed, and Fu Su even praised Qin Mo's ability to run the army.

If he helps train the soldiers, the feudal country will be safe!

Qin Mo shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's actually a policy of enfeoffment. There are many restrictions on the feudal country. It is a taboo for the monarchs of the feudal country to connect with each other."

The young masters' eyes dimmed for a moment, and they drank a glass of fruit wine. They thought it was sweet just now, but now they only feel bitter.

"However, if my fiefdom is strong and prosperous, and if there is chaos in the fiefdoms of the princes at this time, it is not impossible to report to the imperial court to borrow troops to quell the chaos."

Qin Mo changed his subject and said again.

The princes' eyes brightened again, and they all toasted and flattered each other: "The talent of Prime Minister Qin is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, and the feudal country will definitely be strong!"

Qin Mo drank the fruit wine from a cup and sighed: "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"Unlike other young masters, I have His Majesty's care. When I go to a feudal state to serve, I will be rewarded with a large amount of wealth. Even if I do nothing, I can establish a feudal state."

"And I... am poor!"

It was only at this time of the banquet that Qin Mo's purpose was revealed.

When the young masters heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning, they were drunk with wine. They immediately patted their chests and said, "It's just a small amount of wealth. We can donate some to the Prime Minister of Qin and we will have it."

Qin Mo was embarrassed: "How much help?"

After asking, he added: "Yesterday, the eldest son helped me with one hundred thousand money and goods!"

Plop——

Hu Hai escaped and went directly under the table.

The other young masters also gasped and looked at Fusu with disbelief on their faces. Their expressions were exactly the same as those of Zhao Gao a few days ago.

Fusu: "..."

You know that there is no such thing as a good feast.

This is like treating me like a child.

Don’t be greedy and come here today!

The young masters glared at Fusu for a long time, and then looked at each other, but no one dared to speak first.

We really want too much, and the young master’s family doesn’t even have any food left!

But while the young masters were muttering, Princess Huayang, who had no interest in it, spoke up: "Yuan Man still has some savings, probably about 100,000 yuan. Qin Xiangruo doesn't mind it, so he used it to build the country."

The young masters were stunned, including the princesses, who all looked at her with strange eyes.

Yuan Man hurriedly added: "Now that Prime Minister Qin has made the country strong, he will be able to protect Yuan Man's brothers in the future."
