The negotiations were held in the Bauhinia Mercenary Governor's courtyard. None of the restaurants expected that Mo Hongxian and the two major restaurants would be so big this time, or in other words, Dingbei Hou had such a big move.
The secret recipe for selling them two dishes is just an introduction, but it is even bigger but at the back. Mo Hongxian actually said that he would provide more than a dozen delicacies, and it was not sold, but just cooperation.
As soon as this food festival kicks off, the market in the food industry has opened to the entire empire. Bauhinia wants to account for one of all restaurants. However, they really like this kind of cooperation, which is obviously a win-win situation.
Afterwards, Mo Hongxian negotiated with nearly a hundred restaurants for nearly a night before finalizing all the details.
While they were discussing, Jiang Xingchen began to get busy in Qingshan Village, and he was ultimately responsible for the production of various delicacies. In addition to continuing to seize food from bees, he also had to make distilled liquor, make sausages, and teach the students selected by Beihou from the Imperial Academy to play the guzheng.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about farming, otherwise he won't even have to sleep.
Mei'er and Xin'er were not idle either. Jiang Xingchen taught them the skills of rolling the dough so that they could practice hard and be able to use the food festival.
After hearing this, the two little girls were eager to try it out. Not to mention the attraction of the food festival, they were extremely happy even if they could help Jiang Xingchen. Especially Mei'er already has a foundation and learns very quickly. She can use two rolling pins at the same time in just a few days.
In the following days, Qingshan Village became lively again. A group of chefs from major restaurants came from Hongyuan City and received the guidance of Jiang Xingchen. Since then, the stove in the kitchen of the lord's mansion has never been destroyed...
At this time, news that Hongyuan City will hold the first food festival on May 20th has spread to major territories of the empire.
"More than a dozen new foods are guaranteed to be enjoyed by everyone. There are completely different ways of eating. All are at the first food festival of the Food City! On May 20th, Hongyuan City will be a jubilant ocean and a festive festival. The new songs of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Team will bring you a happy atmosphere, morning light, Feixuan... all-weather performance, and you can't imagine the performance method! Please come!"
Such white silk was delivered to famous restaurants in major renowned areas and quickly spread to every foodie's ears.
Of course, the big restaurants everywhere moved first. They sent out chefs almost immediately. Hongyuan City’s food secret recipe is too famous. Whether it is the method of stewing meat or the later beggar wild pheasant, they are all unique. This time, it is simply attractive to launch more than a dozen delicacies in a row.
Then many foodies also came out one after another. Especially those who had already tasted the food of the two major restaurants in Hongyuan City, they heard that more than a dozen new foods were launched. They would not miss such an opportunity. Haven’t you heard that everyone can enjoy it, just say that you don’t have to book a seat like you normally do, wait for half a month.
There are also a large number of people who are rushing to the new songs of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe. Until now, the laughter and spring flowers are still singing. In their hearts, the music produced by Bauhinia is definitely excellent.
There are many people who are attracted by the completely unimaginable performance...
In the imperial palace, Emperor Qiankun was repeatedly stirred after hearing Feng Xuanzhang's report.
Ever since he learned about the experience of Dingbei Hou in Qi Yueling, he had already judged that this matter was not simple. If Dingbei Hou had a problem, it would implicate Jiang Xingchen again. Then all his previous efforts to promote strategies would be wasted.
But he had no way to intervene. The empire suffered from severe cold and snow disasters. Hengtong Trading Company brought grain from Xuanyuan Tianzong. It was a meritorious or undeniable thing. He couldn't intervene just because he didn't sell it to Dingbeihou. Then he, the Emperor of Qiankun, was too much of a loss!
For several days, he has been thinking about this matter. How to resolve the counterattack of the stubborn forces. When he was in a state of confusion, he did not expect that Dingbei Hou would come to him like this.
"Dingbei Hou actually held the first food festival at this time. What is he going to do?" Emperor Qiankun frowned.
"I don't know what the Marquis of Dingbei is intended!" Feng Xuanzhang said: "He gave invitations to almost all the great nobles in the imperial capital. I, Marshal, Old Marquis, Mr. Huang Shi, Mr. Qingyun, and Yuan Xixuan are all on the list!"
"Then go, you can help me see what Dingbei Hou did. Didn't you see that he was trying to target him in Qi Yueling?"
After a moment of saliva, Emperor Qiankun continued: "Go and notify the marshals and the others and arrange their work in advance!"
"Yes!" Feng Xuanzhang bowed and slowly retreated.
When his figure left the hall, Emperor Qiankun murmured: "It's not that boy again..."
When Emperor Qiankun was puzzled, Yuan Xixuan looked at the invitation in his hand and was sneering: "Food Festival, Dingbei Hou still has the intention to do this!"
Yuan Hao said, "He should stop coming up with any countermeasures?"
"Bad countermeasures!" Yuan Xixuan smiled disdainfully: "Did he think that giving away a few secret recipes of food can get the help of other lords... Isn't the reward for territory expansion so easy to get? They were so popular during the New Year's singing and dancing performances!"
"Oh!" Yuan Hao nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Father, shall we go?"
"Go! Why not! I guess other lords will go too... Isn't it a very comfortable thing to see the expression of Dingbei Hou after the food festival?"
"Hahahaha... It's true! You didn't see it at that time. The Marquis of Dingbei led the affliction in Qi Yue. This time it was probably even more exciting than last time!"
At this time, in Linshui City led by Qi Yue, Mu Shaodong listened to his subordinates' reports and smiled: "There is no harvest, no matter what they think, it's useless. Food Festival, haha..."
"The young master is a clever plan. If something happens to the territory of Dingbei Hou, he will definitely be beaten by conservative forces. If we tell the story of Jiang Xingchen digging mountains in advance, the development strategy of Emperor Qiankun will be fatal! It is inevitable that the conflict between the two sides will deepen... This time the elder will definitely transfer the young master back!" The subordinate smiled flatly.
"Yeah!" Mu Shaodong nodded with satisfaction, patted his subordinates on the shoulder. After being hit twice, the subordinates really had a memory.
"You prepare and let's go to the food festival too!" said Mu Shaodong.
"Uh!" The subordinate was stunned and persuaded: "Young Master, we offended the Marquis of Dingbei. He didn't even give us invitations..."
"Idiot, you are a pig's brain!" Mu Shaodong slapped his subordinates in the head and shouted: "We used to taste delicious food, played with it in the past, and relaxed. Can we need Dingbeihou's invitation to give him a paralysis?"
"Yes, yes..." The subordinate hurriedly retreated with his head...
It was mid-May, and the temperature was getting higher and higher every day, and the world was covered with green. The grains that had just been planted also had tender buds and grew rapidly. It took more than ten centimeters in a few days. It was so miracle that he had been in Hongyuan City for so many years, but he had never seen such a situation. Even if the spring plowing was not delayed, the wheat seedlings could not grow at this level.
In Hongyuan City, almost all the people in the city were moving. The civilians who usually lived at the bottom of society were smiling. Too many workplace opportunities were waiting for them, the transportation of materials, the construction of stages, and the sudden increase in manpower demand for all business stores.
Especially in major restaurants, the demand for vegetables has increased greatly. It was just beginning of spring, and many people rushed into the wild to pick fresh wild vegetables that had just grown.
The nobles, rich people, and merchants were also full of joy. The holding of the food festival represents a huge increase in consumer groups, and they all began to purchase large quantities of goods.
For a time, Hongyuan City seemed to have become a big market, with countless people coming in and out every day, which is much more lively than the pre-selected New Year songs and dances.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen had already brought Mei'er, Xin'er and the others to Hongyuan City. This time he was the most miserable. The advertisement was written by him. When he saw the look of Dingbei Hou and the old man stunned, he was really proud.
But now, he regrets it! He almost had to guide these things. New food, new music, and new performances, digging honeycombs, distilling liquor, and filling sausages... God knows that his fundamental purpose at that time was just to give his opponent a counterattack and let Dingbei Hou extricate his anger.
"Isn't this asking for trouble for myself? If I had known that the pretense would not end well, why would I always be complacent and raise my tail high! Lesson, it's so painful..."
When Jiang Xingchen was bitter and wailing silently, Zhao Danqing looked at him with admiration and said that he was cheating, which was simply... Jiang Xingchen wanted to punch his face into a bun.
However, he has no time now! Although the food problem has been solved, the music and new performance format have not been completely solved!
After taking the college of Imperial College into the musical instrument workshop and choosing the guzheng and flute, he plunged into the creation of the new program...
Before we knew it, May 17th was already coming, and people were already coming.
Before we arrived in Hongyuan City, we could not see the green wheat seedlings at first sight and immediately shocked the people coming from afar.
"My second, this is the situation of the gods. Why do the wheat here grow so well? The wheat over us has just revealed its buds!"
"Did they not delay the spring plowing? This is unlikely. Hongyuan City is one of the most affected areas!"
"No, even if the spring plowing has not been delayed, it would not have grown so well... We planted third-class grains from Xuanyuan Tianzong, and hundreds of square meters were sown before early May, but it was far worse than this!"
"Hongyuan City must have better grain seeds, otherwise there will be no explanation!"
"I remember the lord said that Dingbei Hou didn't even buy third-class grain... Could it be that I was dazzled?"
Anyone who came from the foreign territory slowed down his hurried pace, turned around one step and entered the city with a look of surprise.
"Hehe! You're all stunned!" Dingbei Hou was always downstairs at the city gate. Listening to everyone's discussion, he could not suppress the pride in his heart, and his beard was as bright as a wave of water.
At this time, the lords closest to Hongyuan City also arrived first. Dingbei Hou immediately changed his expression and greeted him with a proud look on his face.
