Listening to the sound of the watchman outside the courtyard leaving in the distance, Liu Yifeng took Zhao Laowu, who was on duty at night, and two civilian men, and gave some simple food to the Maritime Safety Administration clerk outside the courtyard gate.

These were all packed away by him from the snacks at Zhang Jun's dinner party that night.

Zhang Jun, Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Bai had never tasted anything good, and Zhang Jun's initiative to invite Liu Yifeng to become a shareholder shocked them both. Naturally, they had no intention of eating snacks, and the table full of snacks was basically untouched.

"My lords, thank you for your hard work. If you can't go into the hospital to rest, I have night watchmen here at any time. If you need firewood or hot water, just go to them directly."

These minor officials from the Maritime Safety Bureau usually work as coolies, and they are very skilled at keeping watch all night. Although Xinjinshan City is on the seaside, and it is also the depth of winter now, the temperature in New San Francisco City is actually higher than that of Liu Yifeng's gold rush.

Mountainous areas are higher.

This is true for the entire mid- and high-dimensional coastal zone of the North Pacific, with seaside temperatures being higher than inland temperatures.

This is caused by the Pacific Warm Current.

However, no matter how high the temperature is, deep winter is still deep winter, and it is still the Little Ice Age. Historically, it has snowed in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas in winter. The latitude of Jinshan City in Shandong is indeed only a few degrees at night in winter.

These minor officials from the Maritime Safety Administration were fully prepared after being informed of the night vigil, but Liu Yifeng's arrangement still moved them very much, and they all lamented that this shopkeeper was so damn good at being a good person.

The discomfort of being forcibly taken away by Zhang Jun at night completely disappeared, especially after the few people were polite to Liu Yifeng and then opened the food box and found that it was actually a high-end snack.

The dim sum at Zhang Jun's banquet was not something that Liu Yifeng, who came later, could even take a look at. He not only knew how to cook, but he also knew how to bake, and he knew all about Western pastries.

But for these petty officials, it is just high-end delicacies that they are reluctant to buy.

Seeing that Liu Yifeng had taken good care of him, he bowed his hands to the Maritime Bureau officials who were grabbing food, and returned to the yard.

"Big boss, do you really give them so many snacks?"

Zhao Laowu was greedy. They had never eaten those snacks in their lives.

Liu Yifeng noticed that he changed his name to "big boss" instead of "shopkeeper". He must have learned it from Li Hongji and others. This title belonged exclusively to the 30 Jurchens and Koreans who disembarked with him, that is, his first team.

But now it's at least less than one-third.

Zhao Laowu and the two civilian men behind him both performed very well in this incident. Liu Yifeng began to win their hearts and minds after the battle, so naturally he would not object to them voluntarily changing their name to themselves as the big boss.

He smiled and said: "You take the remaining half on the table and share it with the other brothers who are on night watch."

Zhao Laowu and the others were so overjoyed that they ran off to eat snacks without even paying any attention.

After returning to his room, Liu Yifeng took off his clothes and slowly lay on the bed. He couldn't sleep, still thinking about what happened tonight.

Invest in Zhang Jun’s restaurant?

To be honest, Liu Yifeng was moved at that moment.

Zhang Jun's investment requirement was not money, but technology. He asked Liu Yifeng to provide delicious dishes that could be put on the table.

"For example, the crab butter you made last time." Zhang Jun gave an example.

The crab butter made in Doshan City has indeed become a famous dish in the restaurant named Zhang Jun in Doshan City through the operation of shopkeeper Chen.

China has been eating crabs for a long time, and the recorded history can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty BC. However, before the Ming Dynasty, crabs were only eaten by poor people who lived near the water, because they tasted too delicious.

Trouble.

But crab meat is indeed sweet and plump. In the Ming Dynasty, a man named Caoshu invented a tool for eating crabs: eight crab pieces. From then on, eating crabs became one of the favorite foods of literati and elegant guests.

Bald butter and its extended dishes are slightly packaged. Whether they are officials and scholars with real talents or arty businessmen, they are all very satisfied with the taste of Bald butter and the good people who eat this dish.

Zhang Jun came to steal the crab butter not only because of greed, nor because he wanted to find Yang Changbai and the others. Stealing it back for research was also part of the purpose. After all, Liu Yifeng had not revealed his identity as a civilian husband at that time.

Zhang Jun's restaurant decided to open during the Lantern Festival, which is less than a month away.

Unlike the Spring Festival in later generations, which mainly celebrated the New Year's Eve, the most important day of the Spring Festival in ancient Chinese dynasties was the Lantern Festival. Zhang Jun chose to open during the Lantern Festival, which shows how much pressure he was under. He really needed a few big dishes to overwhelm the venue.

Of course, shopkeeper Chen had already prepared it in advance, but after Zhang Jun met Liu Yifeng, he came up with the idea of ​​asking Liu Yifeng to invest in it and help him add a few more big dishes.

On the one hand, he really valued Liu Yifeng's cooking skills, and on the other hand, he slowly allowed this young man he was optimistic about to cooperate with him to reduce his resistance to taking refuge in him.

After listening to the accounts of Zhang Jun and Shopkeeper Chen, Liu Yifeng did not express his position at the time, and temporarily excused himself on the grounds that the Maritime Safety Administration was still interrogating him.

Shopkeeper Chen had already prepared it in advance, so he was not angry when Liu Yifeng was unwilling to help. After all, this matter was a bit abrupt. He only found out about it tonight. Then he looked at the recipes and the butter.

Following the invitation of his eldest young master, Liu Yifeng.

Zhang Jun was too unhappy, so he gave Liu Yifeng some time to think about it. Moreover, how the Maritime Safety Administration dealt with Liu Yifeng, a former civilian husband who had become a mysterious free agent, was indeed something he could not interfere with.

The dinner ended just like that.

"Master? Master, you are back."

It was the voice of Obai, who was sleeping in the hall outside Liu Yifeng's room. Liu Yifeng was already used to his personal care. When he came back, he saw that he was sleeping deeply, so he covered him with a quilt and went back to his room.

"Well, I'm back. Oboi, go to sleep, you don't have to take care of me."

"Oh, yes, Master."

Even so, Obai still forced himself to wake up and sat on a chair in the hall waiting for Liu Yifeng to fall asleep. Liu Yifeng was helpless when he saw this. He knew that if he didn't fall asleep, Obai could really stay there all night.

"Obai, how are Lao Jin and Jorge's health?"

"Replying to the master, both of them are much better. The doctor invited by the Maritime Safety Administration said that they can rest for a while. They are also very lucky. The doctor said that they would be dead if they didn't wake up during those two days when we won.

of."

Liu Yifeng nodded and took a breath.

The most seriously injured people this time were not Kim Seung-woo and Holger, but both of them fell into a deep coma. Even if they were just in a coma, starting from the night when the crucial battle was won, the two of them began to have high fevers.

Although Liu Yifeng didn't know the cause, he also knew that the high fever was likely to kill the two of them, so he kept asking people to use physical cooling methods to apply hot and cold compresses to keep their body temperatures from exceeding 40 degrees.

At least the fever subsided by noon the next day, and they woke up the next night.

"Master, I have lost too many brothers this time."

Obai's voice was bitter, and Liu Yifeng also sighed: "Yes, so what you can do now is to live well for those brothers. What I promised back then will definitely come true."

"Um!"

"Okay, go to bed quickly. If you can go out tomorrow, you can go and pick up Lao Wang."

"Lao Wang is in Jinshan City?"

The relationship between Lao Wang and Obai is actually very normal, but Obai is still immersed in the emotion of losing too many Nanyang-level players. When he met Lao Wang, who was also from Nanyang level, he immediately felt much closer.

"Well, I arranged for Lao Wang to come to Jinshan City when I came back last time." Liu Yifeng turned over and finally muttered something for Obai to go to sleep early, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
