Chapter 201 Midnight Meeting Before Leaving Beijing
Chapter 201 Midnight Meeting Before Leaving Beijing
"Steak? Does it mean beef?" Ye Nanli asked in surprise, staring at the steak on the table.
"Yes! Is there a problem?" Mu Qingqing asked back with a frown.
Of course there is a problem! And it is a big problem!
In Donglin State, cattle are an important labor force for farmers. The government has regulations that except for old, weak, sick and disabled cattle, which can be slaughtered as food after being requisitioned, other young and adult cattle are protected!
Besides, the annual birth rate of cows in Donglin Country is not high, and the supply is in short supply every year.
Except when the cows were working and being crushed by the ox plow, the rest of the time the people treated them like ancestors!
Now you tell me there's beef on the table?
The end of the year is approaching, and the government requisitioning department has also closed down - where does the beef come from? !
"Why don't you say something? Are you stuck again?!" Mu Qingqing said unhappily.
This habit of saying half of what you want to say and leaving the other half is not a good one! I can't spoil him!
Ye Nanli sat down beside her and said helplessly, "Qingqing, don't you know that cattle in Donglin Country have a very high status? Under normal circumstances, cattle cannot be slaughtered without government requisition!"
Mu Qingqing was so upset that she spread her hands and said innocently, "I don't know! No one has ever told me about this! Besides, what I have on my table is not a yellow scalper!"
"What kind of cow is that?" Ye Nanli, who had turned into a curious baby, asked magically.
"You won't understand even if I tell you! This is ordinary Wagyu beef!" Mu Qingqing picked up a piece of steak that was still sizzling with oil with a fork and put it in front of Ye Nanli's thin lips.
Ye Nanli tilted her head back a little, her face slightly red, "Is this steak delicious?"
This seems to be the fork that Qingqing used. If I eat with her fork, does it count as an indirect kiss? Ye Nanli's eyes darkened, and she asked herself shyly in her heart.
Mu Qingqing stepped forward and stretched out her left hand to pinch his sexy jaw, and with her right hand, she stuffed the steak on the fork into his mouth.
This little man is so hesitant. If he keeps talking, the steak will not taste good when it gets cold!
When had the dignified war god, the cold-faced Yama, ever met such a violent and straightforward woman? !
The cold-hearted Ye Nanli can only transform into a docile little lamb in front of Mu Qingqing, who is full of girlfriend power, chewing the tender steak in her mouth elegantly and gently.
In a moment, my eyes lit up - what kind of magical method is this?! It's so delicious!
A few years ago, I had the honor of eating ox breast meat with my brother in the palace.
The imperial chef cooked the beef directly in boiling water. The taste was hard to describe: it was woody and fishy, and not only did it get stuck in your teeth, but it also left a strange taste in your mouth...
Mu Qingqing knew from his shining eyes that he loved the taste, so she put the fork in his hand directly and said, "Eat the remaining half of the steak while it's hot."
Ye Nanli picked up the fork and finished the steak in front of him without saying a word.
It's the same whether you eat one piece or a whole plate.
At that time, the worst that can happen is that I can ask my brother for some privileges. Besides, the food we eat is not scalped!
Having found a legitimate reason for himself, Ye Nanli enjoyed the steak with peace of mind.
Ye Nanli didn't eat the steak very fast. He chewed it slowly and elegantly, and his every move showed the demeanor of a nobleman.
Mu Qingqing held up a red wine glass, her charming eyes staring at Ye Nanli who was eating - what a handsome man! Eating a steak is so pleasing to the eye!
After enjoying the steak, Ye Nanli licked her red lips with satisfaction.
A clear, mellow, sexy voice spilled out from between thin lips: "Qingqing, I never thought that the Wagyu beef on this day would taste so delicious. It's so delicious that you will never forget it after eating it."
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows proudly, "Do you need to tell me this? We've eaten the steak, let's talk about business. In addition to the betrothal gift, do you have anything else to say tonight?"
Speaking of business, Ye Nanli put down the fork in his hand and said seriously, "Qingqing, I will leave Beijing to join the army tomorrow."
"Oh, I see." Come to think of it, it's true. The wedding day will come in a few days. I must go to the capital a few days before the wedding to meet the emperor.
Ye Nanli looked at the indifferent look on the woman in front of him, and felt cold in his heart: Oh, it seems that the road to chasing my wife is long!
"I heard that Qingqing shined in Qin Ya Garden today and gained a lot. I wanted to celebrate with you before leaving, but looking at the situation just now, I'm afraid you have already started fighting with the three of them?" Ye Nanli narrated in a sour tone, with a face full of grievance.
Since you can think of your subordinates, can't you think about your future legal husband?
Fortunately, I rushed over here tonight and had the opportunity to have a delicious meal, otherwise I would regret it to death!
"Isn't this normal?! They have worked very hard today. Half of the credit for today's rich harvest goes to them. Come back and reward them well, is there a problem?" Mu Qingqing glanced at Ye Nanli beside her with a chilly look.
We haven't even gotten married yet! You little man is meddling in everything! Be careful or I'll break off the marriage and kick you out! Mu Qingqing half-closed her eyes and looked at Ye Nanli unhappily.
Although Ye Nanli has grown up with her aesthetic taste, she can't spoil him too much! In case the wife loses control in the future!
Ye Nanli, who had no experience in love, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She sat up straight and said in a gentle voice, "Qingqing, that's not what I meant. By the way, I came to see you tonight, in addition to saying goodbye to you, I also have another important thing to tell you."
Mu Qingqing took a sip of red wine and lowered her eyes, "Speak!"
"The haunted house has been in turmoil these past few days. Several groups of people have come to investigate. Everything inside has been taken out long ago. I'm afraid that the other party will send out even more powerful masters. You'd better be careful." Ye Nanli looked at Mu Qingqing with concern.
"What's the big deal?" Mu Qingqing raised her lips slightly, showing her frivolous look, "I was afraid that he wouldn't come! Didn't I tell you last time that if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I will install an S-level security system in the haunted house for you, and you have to stay even if the emperor comes!"
Ye Nanli nodded seriously, "When you are free, ask Lin Feng to handle it. I will not be in the capital these few days. If you have any problems, go to Yun Hao. He can handle the affairs of the capital on my behalf."
Mu Qingqing stroked the wine glass with her right hand and thought about the retired disabled soldiers.
I had been thinking of discussing it with him in detail after we got married, after all, the data would be more accurate if we talked face to face.
Since the real culprit has shown up tonight, let’s just get the job done.
Mu Qingqing glanced at Ye Nanli and said seriously, "Ah Li, today I saw those disabled soldiers who retired from the army in Qin Ya Garden. They were servants in there and were treated as playthings by those powerful children. I felt very uncomfortable when I saw it! They are heroes and should not be treated like this."
Ye Nanli looked depressed after hearing this, and sighed for a long time, "I also know about this matter. It's just that the treasury is empty, and less than one-tenth of the wounded soldiers who retreated can be arranged. It's not that my brother has not thought about this matter, but he is really unable to do so."
The Donglin Kingdom is really too poor. It’s useless to think more without money!
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have a good suggestion here, which can make the retired disabled soldiers self-sufficient and not have to live such a miserable old age."
"Really?" Ye Nanli asked excitedly with stars in her eyes.
If this problem could be solved, I would no longer have to stay awake all night long because of the sadness for those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers.
"How difficult is that?" Mu Qingqing looked arrogant and drank the remaining red wine in the glass.
