Mr. Zhao was naturally unhappy: "Could it be that Yunqing is more familiar with Youzheng than with me?"

Liu Yunqing looked at him and laughed, thinking to himself, he is such a grown-up, why is he still jealous of others?

Two people are two people, and two people will feel more comfortable.

Knowing that Liu Yunqing wanted to eat the Bo Xia Gong, he also wanted to fry some other meat slices. If he really fry them in the same pot, he was afraid that the taste would not be good.

Zhao Chengyan asked Mao'er to go to Fanlou to get some pork and boiled it for dinner. He also started another pot and asked people to buy some fresh mutton, fish and vegetables.

Although he had never been in the kitchen, he tied his sleeves with a loop and put on an apron, which made him look like a homely husband.

The fish and mutton were all cut into thin slices using broth as the base. Liu Yunqing was instructing them, and it must be said that Mr. Zhao's knife skills were really good.

At first, the fingers holding the fish had to be pressed under the kitchen knife. Liu Yunqing quickly taught him how to do it, and then he could cut the fish quickly and well.

I put some mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the broth I bought. There were no tomatoes and potatoes in those days, but it was also good to have some refreshing vegetables. There were also tofu and yuba.

Mao'er was also a thoughtful person. He also bought some homemade sausages and a small basket of quail eggs, which tasted very good.

Liu Yunqing likes spicy food, but there is no chili pepper at the moment. Fortunately, there are spicy things like pepper, hot pepper, dogwood, and mustard that can be used as substitutes.

Liu Yunqing prepared a dipping sauce with sesame paste, and Mr. Zhao was very curious and wanted to eat the same thing.

Liu Yunqing had evil intentions and added half a spoonful of mustard into the drink.

While waiting for the pot to be served, Zhao Chengyan imitated Liu Yunqing, picked up a piece of boiled and curled fish, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth. Just one bite, and his face turned red, even the base of his neck was red.

Even though it was so spicy, he was still able to maintain his composure. He just frowned slightly, covered it with his sleeves, and swallowed it.

"Hey! I'm just kidding you, spit it out quickly. Don't swallow it if it's too spicy."

It was too late for Liu Yunqing to speak, as Mr. Zhao had already swallowed it in one gulp, coughed twice, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

She drank the tea handed to her by Liu Yunqing in one gulp. Her face was still red, and she looked very pitiful.

"How can you eat something so spicy? Maybe it's because I usually eat light food, and I never understand why people say they like spicy food. But now, just one bite has made me sweat all over!"

Zhao Chengyan was not angry. He just took the opportunity to pull Liu Yunqing and asked her to pour him another cup of tea. Originally, Liu Yunqing was sitting opposite her, but now he took the opportunity to pull her to sit next to him.

"You little wicked fellow, let me taste your dip."

Liu Yunqing laughed at Mr. Zhao for his strong addiction to food. She only put half a spoonful less than others, which was not much of a difference.

"Since you can't handle spicy food, why bother with this? Just take one more bite and I'll prepare another dish for you later."

As Liu Yunqing spoke, he used a small spoon to spread a thin layer of it on the mermaid slices. This time, Zhao Chengyan was able to taste it. He only asked Liu Yunqing to make it slightly spicy, anything more would not do.

"Actually, this spicy food is not delicious. There is a plant called chili pepper, which is about the length of a finger. I heard that it is red when ripe. However, it can be used as a seasoning regardless of whether it is ripe or not. A bite of it is so spicy that it feels like fire is coming out of your mouth!"

"Since I heard about this, I asked the merchant ships out to sea to look for it, but there has been no news for a long time. Even those who have been drifting on the sea all day have not heard of it..."

Liu Yunqing wanted to ask Mr. Zhao to try it, and he would find it even more addictive. But how could she dare to say that she had eaten it before? No one else could find it, so how could she know what it tasted like? So she stopped talking.

Zhao Chengyan always loved listening to Liu Yunqing talk about things he had never heard of.

She thought that this crop called pepper must be a delicacy that only fairies like her could taste, and it was hard to find in the world. After hearing this, he felt his mouth watering, and it would be a pity if he didn't taste it.

"I'll ask someone to inquire at the Maritime Customs Office. After ships dock at sea, they usually trade directly with the Maritime Customs Office, and then sell to other places through the Maritime Customs Office."

"If a private fleet does not have sufficient financial resources, they will not dare to take the risk of going far away. I do have a fleet under my command, and all the crew members are veterans. The farthest they have been to is Southeast Asia and Persia. Next time I go out to sea, you can ask them to look for us carefully."

Liu Yunqing was really surprised when she heard this. Although she knew that Mr. Zhao was extremely wealthy, she didn't expect that he even had a merchant ship under his control!

I've also been to Southeast Asia and Persia!

You should know that nowadays a sea vessel has a carrying capacity of nearly 400 tons. Excluding the capacity for personnel, food and safety, it can also carry more than 100 tons of cargo, which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of 700 camels.

If a ship was loaded with silk, it would make a net profit of at least four thousand taels just for one trip. If it came back loaded with spices that everyone liked, it would make another huge profit.

If she had such a merchant ship, she would probably just lie on the couch and count money every day. It's a pity that Mr. Zhao is so rich, but he still disciplines himself, reads books, and worries about the countless businesses under his hands every day...

How come he is even less of a human being than her!

"Ayan's ability is really amazing. I thought you were already amazing for running a bank, but who would have thought you could also run shipping? I really don't know what other business you don't run."

Looking at his little monster's eyes wide open in surprise, Zhao Chengyan couldn't help laughing.

"There are indeed some businesses I don't run. Little Sweet Water Alley doesn't have any business of mine. Our Qi Erlang has better connections there."

Liu Yunqing angrily placed the prepared dipping saucer next to Zhao Chengyan.

"Sir, have your meal! You finally caught me once, but you always tease me. I went there out of curiosity, who would have thought that I could do business there? But after going there so many times, it's nothing more than that."

"Whether it's a merchant girl or a geisha, it's all just business, there's nothing interesting about it."

When Mr. Zhao heard that his little monster had actually been to Xianggu House to look for male prostitutes, he no longer felt the bitter taste in his mouth. Instead, his heart felt sour and blocked. His brows knitted and he was extremely angry.

"Madam Liu eats well, but I wonder how the male prostitutes in Xianggu Hall do business."

Liu Yunqing suppressed his laughter: "I don't eat as well as Mr. Zhao, and now I don't even have to prepare a spicy dish myself? As for how male prostitutes do business, I am not lucky enough to enjoy it."

Mr. Zhao felt relieved after humming and groaning. He didn't even grimace when eating spicy dishes. He also gave Liu Yunqing some earnest advice.

"It's ok to go to Xiao Tianshui Alley, but you should avoid going to Xianggu Pavilion. The men there are not good people."

Liu Yunqing said with a smile: "Then why don't we go to Xianggu Pavilion? I will come and play with Ah Yan often in the future, okay?"

Zhao Chengyan nodded seriously: "Of course it's good, I still want to do business with you, Yun Qingqiaosi, a few days ago, I asked Manager Zhang to send me money for no reason."
