In the hall, the father and son were eating hotpot, sipping tea, and chatting about world affairs. They were extremely relaxed.
At this moment, Zhang Han finally couldn't help but say,"Young Master, do you think you can let me have a taste of that tea?"”
"No!"
Ying Ziyu directly rejected.
When Zhang Han heard this, his old face instantly darkened, feeling a little embarrassed.
"If you want tea, go buy it yourself!"
"Young Master, you must be joking. This old man is also very knowledgeable, but this is the first time I've seen this tea in your residence.”
Meng Yi bitterly smiled as he spoke.
"I plan to open a teahouse in Xianyang City to sell this tea. If you want to drink tea, you can buy it yourself.”
Zhang Han and Meng Yi's eyes lit up when they heard this. They planned to have a good taste of this tea when the time came.
"Young Master, will the food be sold as well?”
Zhang Han pointed at the hotpot and looked at Ying Ziyu with anticipation.
"Not for sale."
Ying Ziyu's answer stunned the two of them." Young Master, why are you doing this?”
"Do you think you can eat hotpot just because you want to? To tell you the truth, I've been preparing for this hotpot for a year.”
"What is it? A year? Why did it take so long?" Meng Yi had a look of disbelief.
"The other ingredients are easy to find. However, these ingredients are really too difficult to find, especially the chili. It is something that can only be found by chance…"
"This…"
Zhang Han and Meng Yi looked at each other, feeling extremely regretful.
Originally, the two of them also had a share of the hotpot, but who asked them to be so talkative? Why did they have to mock others for no reason? Now, they could only watch.
"Young Master, I also want to try this hotpot. Name a price!”Zhang Han gritted his teeth and said.
When Ying Ziyu heard this, he instantly laughed.
"This, since General Zhang Han is so sincere, then this young master can't decline. How about this, I'll accept General Zhang Han's daughter?”
"What? How much?"
Zhang Han dug his ears, thinking that he had misheard.
"One thousand gold taels, did you hear me clearly this time?”
"You... Why don't you go rob them? Young Master, do you know how much a thousand taels of gold is?”
Looking at the flustered Zhang Han, Ying Ziyu said indifferently,"Didn't you ask me to bid?”
Intentionally, this Young Master Ying Ziyu was definitely doing this on purpose.
"Your Majesty, look at this..."
Left with no other choice, Zhang Han could only turn his gaze to the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, hoping that the First Emperor would speak up for him. However, the First Emperor obviously had no intention of meddling in this matter. He just continued to eat his hotpot without saying a word.
"Young Master, there's really too much money. Can you make it cheaper?”
Ying Ziyu pondered for a moment. A thousand gold coins was indeed a little too much. He thought for a moment and said,"Five hundred!"
"A hundred?"
"400!"
"Two hundred?"
"Three hundred gold for a bite.”
After he finished speaking, Ying Ziyu ignored Zhang Han and Meng Yi.
Zhang Han looked at the father and son duo who were gorging on food. He hardened his heart and gritted his teeth."Alright, three hundred it is. But I have to say this, Young Master, you have to let me eat my fill.”
"Haha, good. General, eat as much as you can.”
Damn it, this money was earned too easily.
"Young Master, what about me? I'm willing to pay 300 gold coins!"
Meng Yi looked at Ying Ziyu eagerly.
"Don't be so polite. Come, High Official Meng, eat!”
The two of them sat down, picked up their chopsticks, and immediately started eating.
"Haha, this money was well spent. This hotpot is indeed a delicacy.”
"Delicious, it's really too delicious.”
The two of them ate with relish and had completely forgotten the so-called etiquette between monarch and minister.
"Young Master, how did you make this hotpot? How can it be so delicious?”
"I'm afraid that only immortals in the heavens can enjoy such delicacies every day, right?”
Meng Yi could not help but sigh.
As the saying goes, if one says it unintentionally, the listener will be interested. Qin Shi Huang had always believed in the theory of immortals and gods. Now that he heard Meng Yi say this, he immediately thought of this.
Qin Shi Huang knew Ying Ziyu quite well. This kid had a weak personality when he was young, and he was bullied all day long in Xianyang Palace.
After his mother passed away, he fell into madness for ten years.
Although he was better now, where did he learn his skills from? Not to mention anything else, just the martial arts that could defeat ten thousand people was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.
Could it be that this kid had the support of an immortal? (At this moment, Brother Zheng still doesn't know that he has already obtained the longevity that he longed for!)）
The more Qin Shi Huang thought about it, the more likely it was, and the way he looked at Ying Ziyu changed.
"Imperial Father, why are you staring at me? Hurry up and eat!”
Ying Ziyu quickly reminded Qin Shi Huang when he noticed that Qin Shi Huang's gaze was not right.
"Hehe, okay, come and eat!"
The group ate for more than four hours, and Zhang Han was so full that he found it difficult to walk. Before he left, Ying Ziyu brought a small bag of tea leaves for the Emperor, and the Emperor immediately smiled.
After sending Brother Zheng and the others away, the sky had already turned completely dark.
Ying Ziyu returned to the study room and began to write and draw.
......
The next morning, as the sun rose, Xianyang City was bustling with people.
At this moment, three people followed the crowd into the city from the east gate of Xianyang City. Among the three people, two were middle-aged men and the other was a youth.
This young man was extremely burly and handsome. The most unforgettable thing about him was his eyes. This young man actually had two pupils, and his eyes were so soul-stirring that no one dared to look him in the eye.
This person was none other than Xiang Yu of the Chu Country.
The two middle-aged men beside him were his two uncles, Xiang Liang and Uncle Xiang.
Walking in Xianyang City, Xiang Liang opened his mouth and instructed,""Yu 'er, we have already arrived at Xianyang City. Remember not to act rashly.”
Xiang Yu did not take Xiang Liang's exhortations to heart at all. He just casually replied,""Got it."
"Move aside, quickly move aside!"
Cries of alarm suddenly rang out, accompanied by the neighing of horses. The people on the streets panicked and retreated.
Xiangyu turned his head and saw a carriage galloping down the street. It seemed that the horse was frightened. In the chaos, the carriage ran straight towards a child of about ten years old.
"Child, quickly dodge, dodge!”
The surrounding commoners all shouted out to warn him, but the children were already scared out of their wits by the scene in front of them and had no time to dodge.
At this critical moment, a youth stepped forward and pulled the carriage that had lost control with only one hand.
When the surrounding commoners saw that the carriage that had lost control had been stopped, they immediately surrounded it.
"This warrior actually pulled the carriage with one hand. What great divine power!”
"That's right. It's all thanks to this warrior…"
"Right, right, right. If it weren't for the warrior's timely intervention, I'm afraid this child of mine would have been killed.”
"Warrior, please accept our bow!"
The person who attacked was Xiang Yu. Facing the adoration of the surrounding people, Xiang Yu smiled and hurriedly returned the greeting.
Xiang Liang and Uncle Xiang looked at each other and shook their heads with bitter smiles.
"Yu 'er, let's go! We can't stay here for long!"
Uncle Xiang went forward and pulled Xiang Yu away. After the three of them left, the people were still discussing.
However, what the uncle and nephew did not know was that they had already been targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
At the same time, in the west of Xianyang City, in front of a pavilion, Shen Wansan patted his stomach as he walked out after a round of loud gongs and drums.
Looking at the crowd, Shen Wansan smiled and said loudly,""Dear neighbors and fellow villagers, this shop is grandly opening today.”
With that, he waved his hand and a waiter immediately came forward to pull off the red cloth on the door plaque, revealing the words "Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion".
"Hey, brother, what's written on it?”
"Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, this name is not bad. I wonder what kind of business it is.”
"Looking at the size of this shop, it should be a restaurant!”
"Shopkeeper, what kind of business do you do?”
Hearing the discussion, Shen Wansan laughed and cleared his throat,""Everyone, this shop is neither a restaurant nor a restaurant. This shop only sells tea!”
As soon as he said this, the people who came to watch were instantly stunned.
"What? Only tea?"
"What's so good about this tea?"
"This is new. This is the first time I've heard of someone selling tea.”
"Such a big pavilion only sells tea. What is this shopkeeper thinking? Tea can make money?"
In front of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, the commoners were discussing animatedly. Not far away, a few carriages were slowly approaching. When the commoners saw this, they hurriedly made way for them.
In Great Qin, those who could travel in carriages were mostly nobles, so the commoners naturally did not dare to offend them.
The carriage stopped, and Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Wang Ben, Zhang Han, and the others alighted.
"Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, a good name. Today, this old man will definitely taste the tea that even His Majesty said was good.”
Arriving in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, Meng Yi could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Greetings, Minister Meng, General Wang, General Zhang Han!”Shen Wansan quickly went forward to greet him.
The few of them nodded. Then, under the lead of the waiter, they entered the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
It was only at this moment that the commoners reacted.
"The one who entered just now, good…It seems to be High Official Meng Yi."
"It's not just High Official Meng. There's also Minister Feng, General Zhang Han and the rest…"
"Did you all hear what High Official Meng said just now?”
"I heard it…High Official Meng said that the Emperor had drunk the tea from this teahouse before and even said that it was "good"!”
The commoners discussed animatedly. Shen Wansan smiled and waved his hand. Immediately, a waiter carried a wooden plank and stood in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
