Jiang Xingchen followed the soldiers who picked him up to the 7th Army branch. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard compliments on the left, mixed with a few proud laughs.
Jiang Xingchen turned around and saw that the soldiers who were dancing for him were frothing at the mouth, with excited faces and bright eyebrows. The wounded soldiers around them had faces full of admiration and envy!
Jiang Xingchen laughed. During the performance, he said that he would ensure that a few people would become famous in the army, and now it has come true.
"Master Jiang!" As he was smiling, several soldiers caught sight of him. They quickly calmed down their expressions, separated from the crowd, and ran over.
"Haha! You guys chat, some of the army commanders have something to do with me. When I get the chance later, I will meet you for a drink!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand with a smile and walked towards the hall inside.
"That was Jiang Xingchen just now!" asked a soldier who had not watched the preliminaries this morning.
"Yeah!" Several people nodded and watched Jiang Xingchen enter the hall.
"Did he really rise from commoner to baron in twenty days?"
"Nonsense! Lord Dingbei announced on the spot that this was still false! Several legion commanders are here!"
"It's so honorable that someone as awesome as Jiang Xingchen wants to treat you to a drink!" A group of people from behind surrounded him and said with envy on their faces.
The few people suddenly felt refreshed. With Jiang Xingchen's current status, inviting them to drink would be a big deal...
In the same hall, all seven army commanders were present. Seeing Jiang Xingchen come in, Tang Chuxue got straight to the point and immediately explained his intention.
Their request was very simple, that is, they wanted Jiang Xingchen to make ten drums for each legion. The credit must be given. In terms of price, they gave a price of one thousand topaz coins.
Now they are excited when they think about the effect of the big drum. Coupled with the new healing method, several army commanders are looking forward to a big battle. This is especially true for Wu Tianfeng, who currently has the greatest friction with the Dongxuan Dynasty.
"One thousand citrine coins, huge profit!" Jiang Xingchen felt his heart twitch when he heard this. The cost of a big drum is as high as 20 citrine coins. The most expensive material is bison skin, which only costs a dozen citron coins.
Just crystal coins.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen did not agree, but hoped to exchange them for some drinks containing vitality, or monsters. Knowing that the formation has not developed to the neck yet, it has such a big effect, and the effect of continuing to develop can be imagined
However, what he lacks most now is something containing vitality.
Tang Chuxue frowned and said: "Your development in other industries is more promising than practicing! And I know that your cultivation has been ruined and you can't practice martial arts, so why are you still so persistent!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and explained: "I want food containing vitality not for cultivation! You must also know that the most famous stewed pork ribs in Hongyuan City was made by me..."
"Oh? You can handle monsters without losing your vitality!" Tang Chuxue's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "There are never more than twenty people with such skills in the imperial capital?"
After hearing this, several legion commanders looked at Jiang Xingchen with bright eyes.
"Yes!" Jiang Xingchen did not hesitate and immediately nodded to confirm. Although he understood that it is not good to expose too many things, after a song and dance performance, he became famous even if he was not famous. Besides, several army commanders want to investigate you, so that's not it.
It was so easy that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. And he was confident, after all, there was Marquis Dingbei standing in front of him.
"Okay! It's settled then, we will collect monsters from all the major stations immediately!" Tang Chuxue said, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "But if there is a chance, we will try your craftsmanship!"
"I'm willing to serve!" Jiang Xingchen responded without saying anything more, preparing to leave.
Just when Jiang Xingchen was about to leave, Tang Chuxue suddenly asked again: "You made the new food called steamed buns in Hongyuan City, right?"
Jiang Xingchen paused, nodded in confirmation, and then turned around and left...
"What buns?" After Jiang Xingchen left, Chen Xuangan and Wu Tianfeng asked at the same time.
"Your trip to Hongyuan City was really in vain! Now this is known as the city of gourmet food, but you don't even know the most famous steamed buns!" Tang Chuxue shook her head helplessly.
"Is that delicious?"
"You will know after you try it later! Anyway, I have never tasted such delicious food!" Tang Chuxue thought of the buns brought by the soldiers the day before yesterday, and suddenly felt her appetite shrinking.
"Chu Xue, you just said that this kid Jiang Xingchen made this kind of thing?" Wu Tianfeng asked.
"Not only this kind of thing, but also the new dishes at the two major restaurants in Hongyuan City are his handiwork... and the toothbrushes you have been using for the past two days..." Tang Chuxue said.
"The toothbrush was given to me by Marquis Dingbei... He really made it... How many things does this kid know?" Several legion commanders exclaimed in unison, and then showed stern expressions.
Tang Chuxue looked at a few people and said in a deep voice: "Now you know, this kid is quite extraordinary, he is definitely a genius... Moreover, due to the emperor's development strategy, this kid is already famous!
The things we can find out can also be found out by those who are interested. It would be fine if it is just about food and drink, or singing and dancing. The purpose of this big drum, and how to make catgut..."
Chen Xuangan raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "In that case, then take him away and put him in the army!"
"Take him away?" Tang Chuxue curled her lips: "This boy looks gentle, but he is very proud in his heart! He dares to make conditions with me in front of so many people. How can a low-level noble do such a thing? This is a once-offender.
If he loses his temper, even ten bison can't bring him back... I dare say that if he doesn't want to leave, none of us can take him away... Moreover, you are not afraid that Dingbei Hou will fight for you. Now Jiang Xingchen is his
Lifeblood!"
"This..." Several people hesitated, and when they thought of the angry look of the beard, they also felt a little scared.
"What should we do? Sooner or later, Xuanyuan Tianzong will know that Dingbei Hou is the only one responsible for this kid's safety..." Wu Tianfeng frowned.
Chen Xuangan also said: "Moreover, Marquis Dingbei has promised to give him territory!"
Tang Chuxue smiled faintly and said, "So, we have to find a guard for him!"
"Guard?" Several people frowned and asked, "Who among the masters we know is willing to come over and guard a third-class baron?"
"Of course it's the old one who has nothing to do all day long, so find him a job!" Tang Chuxue said.
"The old immortal..." Several legion commanders felt coldness on the backs of their necks, and the corners of their eyes twitched twice. They thought to themselves: "You dare to call him that. The old man is just playing with it, but he can torture people to death..."
"Then...is he willing to come?" Wei Ning asked.
"You have forgotten what the old guy likes the most... He should have heard of the reputation of the city of gourmet food by now. He can find it himself in half a month at most!" Tang Chuxue laughed.
, and then said: "Besides, Jiang Xingchen still can't refuse. This old guy is a great doctor, and her sister's illness is not serious..."
When they were discussing how to protect Jiang Xingchen here, Dingbei Hou was also worried. From his heart, he did not want Jiang Xingchen to be so famous. He could also think of things that Tang Chuxue could think of. But Qiankun
The emperor's development strategy needs such examples to inspire people to engage in other industries, not just one discipline.
"Hey! Why did this kid get into trouble and have to go back to that remote village? I can still protect him if he stays around Hongyuan City... Forget it, if it doesn't work, I can only send more guards!"
"Dengdengdeng..." A series of rapid footsteps interrupted his thoughts, and a servant hurried in.
"Master Hou, another group of people came outside and asked for an additional performance of "Men Should Be Strong"
"No performance! Let them wait for the New Year performance in March!" Dingbei Hou waved his hand impatiently.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly responded and ran out with a grimace...
He said he would not act here, but several judges from the Imperial Academy were eager for Jiang Xingchen to perform more scenes to make the effect more sensational. It would be best to attract people from the Imperial Capital.
In fact, they are also worried that since they have not seen the live effect, there must be a lot of doubts at the Imperial College headquarters. It will not be easy for them to ask for credit from the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe. Only by making the effect greater can they follow suit.
After all, musical instruments and new performance methods are what we promote.
However, when they found Jiang Xingchen's home again, they were declined! And the reason for the refusal, they had to accept, was that he wanted to make drums for the seven legions, and there were seventy of them.
"Damn it, why do your army need drums? Do they also have to perform in a song and dance troupe?" Several judges jumped in anger. This was simply blocking their way forward.
But no matter how dissatisfied there is, there is nothing we can do. The seven legions guard the eight kingdoms of Xuanyuan Tianzong, and everything comes first!
In the end, they had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and set a price for thirty drums with Jiang Xingchen, also for the same price of one thousand topaz coins!
"The new musical instrument has been delivered to the Imperial Capital, and after seeing the effect of the big drum, it should be able to stop some people's mouths!" Several judges thought...
Jiang Xingchen didn't show up, and Imperial College and Dingbeihou ignored their request for a reenactment. In the end, everyone had no choice but to let it go.
However, many people have kept this piece in mind and set their sights on the New Year performance in March.
The preliminaries are over, and the popularity of Hongyuan City has decreased slightly, but it is still bustling and lively. The people who left have spread the reputation of the city of food, and there are people who come here every day just to taste the food.
Not only the two major restaurants and bun shops, but also other restaurants that purchased the secret recipe are also prosperous.
Those nobles from other territories who came for the secret recipe finally found Mo Hongxian and spent money to buy the secret recipe! Although they had secretly bought it once a long time ago, they had to spend money a second time, otherwise they would not be able to follow Dingbei again in the future.
Hou opened his mouth to buy other secret ingredients.
While these people were cursing Marquis Dingbei for being cunning and insidious, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs!
Jiang Xingchen, on the other hand, completely forgot about everything. With a hundred drums, he had to be busy for many days.
The little girl was surprisingly sensible. When she saw him busy, she didn't pester him to perform or sing. She either watched him work every day or went to the kitchen to learn how to cook. Her skills actually improved a lot.
Ten days passed and one hundred drums were finally completed!
"I'm exhausted, but I finally got it done!" Jiang Xingchen raised his hands, stretched his waist, and let out a long breath.
He just made the big drum with the mentality of completing the task, but little did he know that not long after, the big drum once again set off a craze in the imperial capital, making more people look forward to the New Year song and dance performance.
At this moment, Wanrou came to tell him that this contribution had been confirmed and he could ask for his territory back!
