Compared to being treated as a Turkic party, Jiang Yanxi might be better off as a hostage.

Before Feng Shuo could speak, Xing Yao suddenly came in from outside in a hurry, and said something to Feng Shuo. Feng Shuo's expression changed slightly, and he did not continue to interrogate Lu Linyuan, and stood up and left the prison.

Lu Linyuan vaguely heard the sound of Xing Yao deliberately lowering from the prison aisle outside, as if he was talking about the Chu family or something.

Is Feng Shuo's sudden departure related to the Chu family?

Chu Changping was indeed a capable person. When he thought that the Chu family had moved to Xizhou with his family and he had to hide, the capital city was also relying on Mr. Lu's prestige among Confucian scholars that no one dared to touch the Lu family, Lu Linyuan was anxious.

He had a fever and had a split headache, trying to find information about the Chu family in this period from his memory in his previous life.

In the last life, Chu Changping also came to Xizhou to collect Jiang Yanyi's body, but it was indeed Jiang Yanyi who died at that time.

In the end, everyone in the Chu family was sent to prison, and only Chu Changping survived with the help of the eldest princess. Chu Changping's only son was captured alive, and Chu Changping took his old subordinates to save people. Just as the emperor came out of the palace to find Jiang Yanxi himself. Two groups of people met, and Chu Changping and his only son died under arrows.

Lu Linyuan felt that he must have been burned and was unconscious. Chu Changping was killed. He was thinking that Jiang Yanyi and his brothers would not have a good life in Xizhou in the future.

Outside the cell, Feng Shuo heard Xing Yao report the urgent report from Danzhou, and his face was filled with haze: "There are less than 5,000 troops stationed in Danzhou, where did the 30,000 troops be transferred?"

Chi Qing, who had just arrived, was also worried: "According to the spy, the one who led the troops was Gao Yuanju, the nephew of the empress dowager, there were still a thousand imperial guards accompanying him. I am afraid that the one who really led the troops was the one on the dragon throne, and the one who mobilized should be the Gao family's troops. General Chu led 3,000 elite cavalry and did not dare to attack him head-on. In addition, the people are cursing at the Chu family now, and General Chu and others are in a dilemma. The court has been encircling and suppressing each other, so they have to hide on the mountain."

Feng Shuo only pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let the news go out and say that the Jiang family's concubine is in our hands. Let's see how the emperor reacts. Send someone else to pick up Chu Changping in order to make sure he is done."

Feng Shuo was also a little informed by the emperor's crazy actions for Jiang Yanxi. Even when Jiang Yanxi arrived in Xizhou, the emperor secretly led his troops north. Feng Shuo felt that this might not be related.

If the emperor really valued Jiang Yanxi, it would be better to take Jiang Yanxi as his quality at that time.

Chu Changping's only son Chu Chengmao was the top scholar, but later abandoned literature and became a martial artist. However, Mu Xuanqing was too popular in those years, and the sons in the capital were overshadowed compared to him. Chu Chengmao had just entered the military camp again, and even if he had achieved some success, his fame was overwhelmed by Mu Xuanqing.

Feng Shuo raised his foot and walked out. Chi Qing followed him and said, "There is another thing that needs to be asked for advice from you. The emperor's troops were entrenched in Danzhou. As soon as the news of your affairs spread, the emperor led his troops to intercept Yuzhou. Without the food route, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Xizhou could starve to death. According to his subordinates' opinions, he must first send people to Yuzhou to lobby for Xing'an Hou. It would be better to succeed. If it cannot succeed, he would have to find another way to purchase food and grass that could be managed for at least three months."

Feng Shuo said: "Just do what you said."

Chi Qing asked bitterly: "Who will send to Yuzhou?"

Feng Shuo paused, thought for a moment and said, "Lu Linyuan."

A little confusion flashed in Chi Qing's eyes, but the next moment, the fox's eyes instantly emitted a light, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

The Lu family and the Marquis of Xing'an are family friends, and Lu Lin went to lobby for the Marquis of Xing'an, which was the most appropriate thing.

For the sake of Grand Secretary Lu, no matter how cruel the man Xing'an was, he could not directly chop off his old friend's son's head.

Moreover, this move can also test whether Lu Linyuan is loyal or not.

Feng Shuoshuo had thought Lu Linyuan could be used before, but he knew that he would deceive his superiors and hide his subordinates. Now, no matter how loyal Lu Linyuan is, Feng Shuo dared not believe it all. He could take this opportunity to try him.

Feng Shuo ignored Chi Qing's flattery. He ordered Xing Yao: "Chu Changping's affairs are tighter, don't spread it. The Jiang family's concubine is strictly guarded. Don't let her find a short-sighted view or escape."

Xing Yao clasped his fists and said that. He didn't know that Feng Shuo would not let the news leak out, probably because he was afraid that Jiang Yanyi would find out that Chu Changping was in danger and was worried.

Once the decision was made to rebel against the court, Feng Shuo and his staff would discuss endless things. In order to prevent the Turks, the city walls north of the Xizhou were reinforced every year, but the city defense in the south was too weak, and the food and supplies were in progress, so they had to start to lay out defenses.

Jiang Yanyi went back to the antique soup store and found that even if she was not in the store, her business would not be bad. She finally felt a little relieved. She didn't have to stay in the store forever, so she could spare time to do more other things.

Bing Shao said that the stoves in the noodle shop can be used. Based on the idea of ​​opening the noodle shop early and making money early, Jiang Yanyi went to the noodle shop with Bing Shao in the afternoon.

There are five experienced masters in the noodle shop, two are good at plates, and three are good at rounding the faces.

The so-called plate is to put the fermented dough into a large tank with special inner surface. After the noodles are fermented, twist them into thin strips as thick as a thumb and quickly wrap them around two wooden poles. This step is to wrap the surface, and the wrapped noodles require secondary fermentation.

The second fermentation noodles are taken to the ventilated place to dry. A wooden pole is placed on the elevated rack and hangs the whisker surface. The other wooden pole is dragged down the whisker surface with appropriate force and pulled it to the bottom. The thin strips as thick as a thumb become noodles of the same thickness, which can be stored for a long time after drying.

These veterans who have been doing face-to-face for decades do not need Jiang Yanyi to talk too much. Every step is engraved in the bones.

On the first day of work, the other guys were also very excited and wanted to show off their fists and kicks in front of Jiang Yanyi, and they all worked very hard.

Among these people, the shortest one has been in the industry for five or six years. I don’t know what Jiang Yanyi made a stove and put in a large pot, and then customized a steamer as big as a winnowing basket. However, Jiang Yanyi asked them to set the heat on the steamer, and they did not dare to raise objections, so they did everything.

When Jiang Yanyi saw that the hanging noodles had turned into thin strips, she asked the guy to take them off, put them in a steamer and steam them. After continuing to wrap the steamed noodles with wooden poles like making noodles, and then put them in the beaten earthen kiln to dry.

This earth kiln is a type of earth kiln that specializes in roasting whole lamb. When Jiang Yanyi created it, he specially made it with the tiles and tile master to make it bigger. He hung nearly ten wooden poles at a time to seal the kiln mouth, and then baked it with charcoal fire for a few hours. The moisture in the noodles was completely dried.

Although this method is not as fast as industrial manufacturing in later generations, it is already the fastest and simplest method under current production conditions.

Take out the instant noodles that have dried moisture and cut them into pieces with a guillotine.

Because the noodles are sparse and dense when steamed, the cut noodles have their own ugly methods. Due to the current technology, Jiang Yanyi can only ask the guys to choose the cut noodles. The denser noodles will be sold for two cents per piece, and the sparse ones will be each penny.

The guys were surprised by the instant noodles they made. Even if there was no seasoning sauce at the moment, they boiled boiling water and only soaked a piece of dough cake with salt.

The fried instant noodles tasted lighter. With no special seasoning sauce, this bowl of instant noodles with only salty flavor was really not delicious, but the guys were still very excited. Before today, they never thought that they could steam and then dry the noodles, which could be turned into ready-to-eat food.

Realizing that this would be a way to make a lot of money, the guys didn't need Jiang Yanyi to inspire him, so they were happy to work overtime to make noodles.

Jiang Yanyi brought the dough cakes made that afternoon and sold them back to the antique soup store. Because they were sold directly at the door, they were almost snatched away.
