The general's wife is sick

Tang Junyi and Xu Fan looked downstairs from the balcony upstairs. The bustling scene in the hall made him feel happy. In Tang Junyi's eyes, these people's heads were directly equated with silver. Pile after pile of white silver had grown legs Running towards him.

Ji Liu and Xiong Jinghai were having dinner, and the same dishes as Dai Mengyun were served at the table, with spicy rabbit heads, rabbit chops and half a roast leg of lamb with dipping sauce.

Xu Fan took Tang Junyi's hand and told him to sit down peacefully, "Can you rest assured now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Tang Junyi said with a smile, "Liu'er, I thought you would give some for free for them to try, but I didn't expect your trick to be better!"

"As for the dull and ordinary dishes, I will also give it away, but the chili is not only the first one in the entire Chang'an Dynasty, but also the chili has the advantages that other ingredients can't match in terms of appearance and aroma. See Look twice, if you don’t want to eat, I’m the loser!”

"Hahaha! I really like you!"

Ji Liu mocked him, "You like money!"

"I like people, and I like money."

Xu Fan spoiled him with dishes, and he liked Tang Junyi's energetic appearance.

Xiong Jinghai cut off the leg of lamb with a knife and put it on Ji Liu's plate. Tang Junyi was the only man who said he liked Ji Liu without making him violent.

Slowly, the upstairs and downstairs were full of people. After Dai Mengyun moved his chopsticks a few times, Chen Guan entered the room.

"Master Dai!" The hall was full of people, only Dai Mengyun's table was empty.

Chen Guan sat down familiarly, the waiter saw that it was Chen Guan, and immediately came over with the menu, "Guest officer, what do you order?"

"Bring me a mandarin duck pot."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Xiao Er went to the back kitchen, when the people around heard that Chen Guan had ordered a mandarin duck pot, they didn't know what it was for a moment, they just watched eagerly to see what Xiao Er served.

After a while, Xiao Er came out of the back kitchen with a copper stove in his hand. When he served the table, the charcoal fire had already been lit, and the soup inside was divided into two parts by the iron sheet. One side was red and spicy, and the other side was thick and white water. "Guest officer, be careful!"

Sliced ​​mutton, fresh green vegetable leaves were served one after another, and finally, Xiao Er brought two sesame sauce dishes.

"The mandarin duck pots are all ready, take your time."

Dai Mengyun glanced at the pot in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Where are the others?"

Chen Guan couldn't wait to put the meat slices into the pot, "Waiting outside!"

Seeing that Chen Guan was about to put all the meat into the pot, Dai Mengyun gritted his teeth and said, "You're almost done, can you finish eating so much?"

"Master Dai, don't worry, we've finished eating." Chen Guan smiled.

Dai Mengyun took a deep breath and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

When Chen Guan ordered the third plate of meat, several pots were put on the table next to him one after another, and the hall was steaming for a while, which was in stark contrast to the cold outside the street.

While the steam was rising, Xie Kun, Ma Menxi and Bai Yiming arrived.

Looking at the empty plate in front of him, Xie Kun's bull's eyes were about to turn red. He beckoned, "Xiao Er, three more sets of bowls and chopsticks, two plates of spicy rabbit head and rabbit steak, come quickly!"

"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer!"

Dai Mengyun's table has almost become the weather vane in the restaurant. Everyone found that as long as the dishes at this table are particularly spicy and appetizing, they are very delicious, so they followed suit and asked for menus.

After taking his seat, Xie Kun put his arms around Chen Guan's neck, "Didn't you tell you to wait for us when you eat alone!"

Chen Guan put down his chopsticks, "Be careful, the general and the young lady are still upstairs, besides, these dishes haven't been touched yet, Master Dai is waiting for you!"

"Hmph!" Xie Kun let go of him, still feeling upset.

In order for people to accept these new dishes as soon as possible, Ji Liu arranged for them to enter the restaurant and order two dishes at a time.

Because Xie Kun and the others ate spicy rabbit diced last time, Ji Liu arranged for them to enter the arena this time.

Ji Liu didn't care at all that these dishes would be unattractive to the common people when they were sold out all at once, so that all the diners who were full would be thinking about the taste of the dishes they hadn't tasted, thinking in their hearts that they would have to come again next time .

Besides, chili has dominated recipes for a long time, as long as chili is always in his hands, he is not afraid of no guests.

"On the first three days of opening, there is no limit to spicy dishes. After that, there will be only spicy dishes every three days, and the rest of the time will be on the menu I have drawn up."

While eating the hot pot, Xie Kun devoured a large slice of mutton with chopsticks, "It's really comfortable, and it will be even more comfortable if you have another drink!"

Ma Menxi glanced at him, talking non-stop, but Dai Mengyun was full earlier than they were. Hearing what Xie Kun said, he snorted coldly, "One meal has made you sick, and you still want to drink, if you dare to eat while you're there Drink on time and watch General Xiong beat your legs!"

"That's what I said." Xie Kun immediately faltered, he just had a mouthful.

After dinner, Ji Liu and Xiong Jinghai slipped out through the back door, the front hall was full of people, so they stopped joining in the fun.

Tang Junyi waved them out, he didn't want to leave here, he just liked to hear the sound of money falling into the box.

On the bluestone board of Yingkou street, Xiong Jinghai led Ji Liu to walk slowly, "The emperor wants to send someone to Yingkou."

"Because of gunpowder?"

"Yeah. There's no basis for his words. He wants to send someone to witness the explosion scene in the secret."

"Then let them come. Have you drawn up a list for Cheng Rulin?"

"It's ready. The 5 people will set off for the east coast the day after the decree received the day before yesterday."

Ji Liu raised the corners of his lips, and there was evil in his eyes, "Since they are direct descendants, it seems unreasonable for you, a general, not to entertain them before departure. Hasa Khan sent so many cattle and sheep, as well as rabbits from the rabbit farm. , pair it with wine, and practice it for them at noon tomorrow, so that they can eat their fill!"

Xiong Jinghai also knew what Ji Liu was thinking, and he loved him when he saw him doing bad things occasionally, "You still have an idea."

Early the next morning, Ji Liu ordered people to set up a cauldron outside the barracks, boil water, cook cattle and sheep, and kill rabbits to make pancakes.

The officers and soldiers of these direct descendants basically got married in the Northwest, and all of them had wives and children.

After Jiliu opened the outer city workshop and private school, women in Yingkou worked in the workshop during the day to earn money to subsidize their families. Children went to private schools, studied and ate for free, and soldiers on duty in the army did not have to worry about it at all.

But after this order, 5 people were mobilized, and all the soldiers on the list felt resentful.

Xiong Jinghai gathered the commanders of thousands and centurions among these people and sat at separate tables.

It was the first time for Ji Liu to see such a large-scale army dinner, and thanks to the fact that the 5 people moved in batches, otherwise the training ground of the military camp would not be able to accommodate these people if there were some tables.

Cut the pancakes just out of the pan, add vegetables and meat, bite the tongue, and there is a jar of good wine at hand, beef and mutton are boiled in the pot, steaming and steaming, these veterans have nothing to say I imagined that one day I would be able to eat such a meal.

"Everyone must not disobey the queen mother's edict. As a general, I can't bear to part with you. I will use this meal of water and wine to fulfill it for you!"

"The general is righteous! The general's wife is a famous virtuous housemate. We are a bunch of rough people who have won the favor of the general and his wife. We can't repay you. Come, let's respect the general and the wife!"

The elders with big shoulders toasted together, Ji Liu seldom came forward, he said, "You and Ah Hai are brothers who have died, you have witnessed the changes in the Northwest, although the Queen Mother's will is difficult, but one day, you will come back , your parents, wives and children are still waiting for you."

When several soldiers heard this, they immediately raised their heads and dried the wine bowls in their hands.

Ji Liu looked at their movements and said, "I dare not say it, but as long as I stay in the northwest for a day, the workshops in the outer city will always have jobs for your family to eat and earn money. Although the private school It’s not perfect, but what I can do is to let all the children have Shunian, and in the future they will definitely be admitted as scholars and enter the court as officials as you expect!”

"Thank you Mrs. General!"

These soldiers are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the country. They don't want to do anything else, and they only hope that if they are gone one day, the widows and children in the family can continue to live well.

Xie Kun was holding a soldier in his arms at the moment, "Go there and write to me, I have never seen the sea since I grew up!"

This is someone teasing Xie Kun, "Captain Xie, I wrote you a letter and you don't know how to read, so why waste that ink!"

Xie Kun raised his hand and gestured to hit him, "I don't know how to read and you can't draw. I have seen the most attractive spring paintings... woo woo..."

Ma Menxi covered his mouth, usually there are bad men in the barracks, and everyone is familiar with each other, and they are used to speaking obscenely to each other, so they blurt out at once.This is nothing in normal times, but now that Ji Liu is here, it is very inappropriate.

"Young Madam, he drank too much!"

Ji Liu smiled indifferently, "No problem, parting is imminent, and he will go."

Xie Kun also knew that he said something wrong, he scratched his head, "Young Madam, I was wrong, I eat meat, I eat meat!"

"Lieutenant Xie is so kind to himself, he can still eat meat if he says something wrong."

"Go, go, what's the matter with you, don't want to eat meat, come, fight a spear with me!"

The person who spoke quickly shrank back, making the others laugh.

In the army, strength speaks for itself!

After three consecutive days of banquets, all 5 horses were finally sent away. Xiong Jinghai looked at the barracks, which was mostly empty, with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Standing beside him, Ji Liu comforted, "Just wait for the letter from the east coast, General Cheng might have a headache."

Xiong Feng, who was far to the south, received a letter from the Northwest. In the letter, Ji Liu wrote in detail how he arranged for the families and children of these soldiers, and invited them to eat meat and drink before leaving. Xiong Feng laughed loudly, "This child He is truly a nobleman of Jinghai."

Since Ji Liu married Xiong Jinghai, it can be said that Xiong Jinghai's development in the northwest has been smooth sailing. Not only did he get the large piece of land in Yuzhou and the countless hemp trees growing on it, he also developed Fuzhou. Now there are people in their military camp. Soybean oil and high-strength liquor from Chizhou.

With the help of iron beasts, the entire Chang'an Dynasty knew that Xiong Jinghai used iron beasts to crush the grassland. The court did not lose a single soldier in the two wars. Sheep and countless treasures.
