" Plop!" The other party knelt on the ground." Qi Siyong thanks Qin Xian Nan. If it wasn't for Qin Xian Nan's ice-making skills, I'm afraid he would have ended up with his entire family implicated. Fortunately, he managed to survive. In the future, he will definitely be a cow and a horse, and he will repay you."”
"So it's Lord Qi. Please stand up quickly. It's just a little effort.”
Knowing that the other party had no ill intentions and was here to thank him, he let down his guard and helped Qi Siyong up.
"Does the man from Qin County have a marriage partner?" Qi Siyong asked.”
Qin Feng, who was somewhat confused, replied: "Uh, she's still young and hasn't gotten married yet.”
"I have a daughter who is only 28 years old. She is not as beautiful as a fish or a wild goose, but she is also as beautiful as a flower or the moon. There are many people who come to ask for her hand in marriage, but I think she looks like a couple with Qin County man.”
"How can I do that? Is your daughter really beautiful?”As an upright and kind-hearted young man, how could Qin Feng reject the kindness of others?
Speaking of this, Qi Siyong said proudly," Of course. You can ask around in Chang 'an. My daughter, Qi Ruowei, is also a famous beauty.”
It had been eight or nine years since he had transmigrated to the Great Tang, but he was still alone. He was about to reach adulthood, and it was time for him to find a wife.
Looking at Qi Siyong's appearance, he was rather refined and easy-going. He had the appearance of a scholar with a jade face. Presumably, his daughter would not be too bad, so he would reluctantly agree to his request.
" Gulp, gulp, gulp…" Qi Siyong's stomach rumbled.
Qi Siyong coughed dryly and said,"Cough, I've been waiting for you here since the end of the court session. I want to discuss the ice business with you, but I haven't had lunch yet. Why don't we find a restaurant to talk?”
Qin Feng was also planning to inspect the situation of the restaurants. After all, there would be ten restaurants soon, so he agreed to his request.
Just as the two of them were leaving, an official ran out of the palace and shouted," Uncle Lan Tian, please wait. Uncle Lan Tian, please wait…"
Qin Feng was thinking about a problem and wasn't paying attention. Qi Siyong frowned when he heard 'Uncle Lan Tian'.
Qi Siyong looked at Qin Feng and could not help but ask,"Is the Qin County man the Lantian County man?”
Qin Feng nodded and replied,"That's right."”
"Then, did Your Majesty grant Lan Tian to someone else?" Qi Siyong asked again.”
"I don't think so."
Qin Feng didn't know much about the matter of being conferred a noble title. After all, this had nothing to do with him in the past.
"That's strange. Why does it sound like the official is calling Lan Tian Bo?”
Qi Siyong was puzzled in a low voice. He thought that the Emperor had conferred the title of Lan Tian Bo again. It seemed against the rules to have two titles of nobility in the same place.
It wasn't that he didn't think of Qin Feng or Uncle Lan Tian. For thousands of years, no one had ever been promoted from a commoner to a baron and then to an earl in a day. What kind of meritorious service would such a person have?
Just as Qin Feng was about to explain, the eunuch had already chased after him. He said breathlessly,"Lan, Uncle Lan Tian, this, this is the token His Majesty gave you. With it, you can enter and leave the palace freely.”
Qin Feng took the waist token and gave the eunuch a reward. The latter first refused it and then accepted it half-reluctantly. He said,
"Uncle Lan Tian is young and promising, and His Majesty thinks so highly of you. In the future, you will definitely be conferred the title of Duke.”
"Then I'll take your blessings, Eunuch Gong, haha.”
Watching the eunuch return to the palace, Qin Feng turned his head and said to Qi Siyong, who was still in a daze,"Let's go."
Qi Siyong came back to his senses and asked in surprise,""Uncle Lan Tian?"
Qin Feng nodded.
Qi Siyong was a little dazed and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, Qin Feng quickly caught him.
"Wasn't he conferred the title of Lantian County Man during the court session today? After that, he was rewarded with imperial food by His Majesty, and now he was Uncle Lan Tian?”
He was also present at the morning court today. Qin Feng had contributed a lot by offering horseshoes and then cooperated with the Emperor with the magical ice making technique. Only then was he granted the title of county boy and rewarded with imperial food. What kind of contribution could directly promote him to Earl?
As an official of the Tang Dynasty, Qi Siyong understood the system of official positions and titles, but he couldn't think of any merit.
Anyway, she would find out about this sooner or later. Qin Feng did not hide it from her and said,"I can make edible salt from the poisonous bittern ore that is not inferior to green salt.”
"Hiss!"
Green salt was usually used to rinse one's mouth, and it was extremely expensive. Even they did not dare to use it too much.
Not only did Qin Feng know how to make ice, but he could also make green salt. More importantly, he was made from poisonous salt. How could it not be shocking? This was a major event that benefited the world. It was only natural for him to be conferred the title of Earl.
As for the salt-making business with Qin Feng, Qi Siyong didn't even think about it. Not to mention Second Emperor Li, even those who accompanied the imperial kitchen today wouldn't give up this big piece of fat meat. How could it be his turn?
Moreover, he was still the God of Sin. He just needed to run the ice business well.
At the same time, Qi Siyong had already made up his mind. No matter what, he had to convince his daughter to marry Qin Feng. Even if he had to tie her up, he had to tie her up to Qin Feng.
Thinking of this, Qi Siyong became happy again and said happily,"Let's go to Chang 'an Residence today. Order whatever you want to eat.”
Qin Feng also had the same intention. He looked at the restaurants here and decided on the drinks and dishes.
After walking along the Vermilion Bird Avenue that was hundreds of meters wide for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, they arrived at their destination.
" Chang 'an Residence " was written in three large golden characters. It was vigorous and powerful, and extremely eye-catching. It was said that it was mentioned by Sun Muyu's brother, the current Minister Sun.
Although there were many restaurants in Chang 'an, it was rare to find one named after the word Chang' an. Chang 'an Residence was located on Vermilion Bird Avenue, so it was very good in both size and layout. Moreover, it was the closest to the Imperial Palace, so it could be considered as the first-class restaurant in Chang' an.
Those who came here to spend money were either rich or noble. Many high-ranking officials and nobles entertained guests here.
Chang An Restaurant had a total of five floors. Since there was no reservation, they could only find a window seat on the fourth floor. Here, they could eat while overlooking the crowds coming and going.
"Uncle Lan Tian, what do you think about this ice business?”
If Qin Feng was a man from Lantian County, even though Sun Muyu was also guilty, he was still a courtier appointed by the Emperor. Naturally, there was no need for him to be respectful to Qin Feng.
However, now that he knew that he had been conferred the title of Earl, he had a fief, a food city, a prefecture army, and could even participate in some national affairs. His status was much higher than his.
Therefore, Qi Siyong did not dare to flaunt his official authority in front of Qin Feng. He even used the respectful title of "you".
" I will report the raw materials needed to make ice to His Majesty. You only need to build a few workshops where there is well water, prepare more wooden barrels and copper basins, and set up a few more shops in all directions of Chang 'an. We need to blossom more.”
Qin Feng still had a lot of saltpeter in his house, but they were all bought with his own money. Since he had cooperated with Li Er, Li Er would pay for the purchase.
"Alright, I'll send someone to the stall in a while.”
Qi Siyong now listens to Qin Feng's every word and doesn't care how much money he spends.
"Oh right, prepare a few hundred sets of exquisite porcelain bowls and small spoons that you usually use for meals. Also, prepare some fruits such as pears, oranges, and star fruits. Not only will you sell ice, but you will also sell shaved ice.”
It was foreseeable that shaved ice would quickly sweep through Chang 'an and become the favorite of the nobles in Chang' an.
Qi Siyong didn't know what shaved ice was, but the thing that Qin Feng asked him to prepare was definitely useful. He couldn't be bothered to think about it, nor could he think of any use.
"Hey, isn't this Qin County Man who was just conferred the title and Qi Siyong who almost had his entire family killed?”
