The room completely changed. More than a dozen red candles as thick as arms made the room bright as day. Each candle has four words on it. Happy birthday.
The old man, Han Xiaowu, the members of the mercenary group entered the room at any time, and were crowded with people, looking at him with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, happy birthday!" Jiang Xingchen clapped his hands with a smile.
"Happy birthday, leader!" a group of mercenaries shouted in unison.
Zhao Danqing's breathing was rapid and his heart beat faster, from Jiang Xingchen's slack to today's tragic experience, to the end of his suffering, then seeing the chess piece crab that he couldn't eat, and finally the surprise he was now. His emotions fluctuated several times, and it was really hard to control at this moment. He forgot his birthday, which had not been celebrated for many years, but unexpectedly, Jiang Xingchen and the old man remembered it.
Zhao Danqing was moved and opened her mouth to say something, but found that she couldn't make any sound, as if something was blocking her throat.
After a while, he recovered and said to himself: "These people are really hurt. I have known that I have been thinking about me on my birthday today. I said that the old man is such a big foodie, who is used to eating alone, how could he think of me..."
"Hahaha...Boy Zhao, how are we prepared? Are we moved or irritated!" The old man came up and patted Zhao Danqing, asking with a smile.
Zhao Danqing glanced at the old man, his eyes drooped, and his expression became a little declining. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Thank you for helping me celebrate my 27th birthday..."
Zhao Danqing's changes surprised everyone. Jiang Xingchen and the old man looked at each other and said in their hearts: "Did you have played too much? It shouldn't be too much. It's not particularly excessive. You just want to give him an unforgettable surprise!"
Zhao Danqing continued: "Since a few days ago, the old man fooled me, asked me to hug my thighs, and made me cute... Today, Brother Jiang is even more powerful and squeezed me for a whole day. In the end, he finally survived and even brought me a plate of chess pieces crabs that I couldn't eat... I know you want to surprise me, but this method... I really like it so much!"
Zhao Danqing suddenly raised his head with his last sentence. His expression changed instantly, and he pinched his waist and made a burst of laughter.
The group of people were stunned. The black lines were hanging down, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
When Zhao Danqing saw the expressions of everyone, she said smugly: "How about it, how about it? You are all scared by me... Hahaha, I finally won the whole city back. You wait, I have learned this trick. Whoever celebrates her birthday in the future will I play like this too!"
Jiang Xingchen, the old man, Han Xiaowu, and the mercenary team members twitched their lips twice, feeling so awkward. At the end of the moment, Zhao Danqing made a big reversal, which was a shame!
"Okay, okay. Serve the food, hurry up and serve the food. I want to have a seafood meal. Today is my birthday, I am the biggest..." Zhao Danqing slapped the table and shouted, excited.
Old Master Jiang Xingchen and the others did not tease Zhao Danqing anymore. They clapped their hands, and the two servants shuttled back and forth, bringing large plates into the room.
The chess crabs had been removed, and six super-large plates filled the round table. One plate was sea crabs, which was ridiculously large. Each one was probably two pounds or two pounds, and they were stacked up high. One plate was huge shellfish, all with their mouths open, revealing the plump meat inside. One plate was black and long, with many pricks on its body. One plate was full of shells as big as a palm. It was not obvious. The other plate was prawns, twice as big as a river shrimp... The middle plate was the largest, and the plate was two feet long, and there was a lobster inside. I was afraid it was more than four pounds.
The unique aroma of seafood was filled with it, and everyone couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Zhao Danqing and the old man's eyes were lit. They didn't recognize the seafood on this table except for crabs, and some of them looked strange. But they all knew that the taste must be wrong.
Afterwards, all the mercenaries left, and there were so many people in the room. There were several tables outside. In addition to the mercenaries, the captain of Jiang Xingchen's private soldiers were also there.
Then, the young master of the Mu family was invited in and was at the same table with them, which made the young master of the Mu family a little flattered. After all, from the perspective of identity, he is a slave!
Jiang Xingchen greeted everyone to take their seats and ordered the servants to pour the wine on. Everyone raised their glasses together. First, I wish Zhao Danqing a happy birthday, and then I started to turn on my chopsticks.
The next scene was shocked by the young master of the Mu family who was with everyone for the first time. He thought that Jiang Xingchen would say something to him at the banquet today. After so long, his group of people should have a task. But unexpectedly, these people didn't say anything and all started to work on the dishes on the table. Especially Zhao Danqing and the old man, he couldn't see clearly the speed of chopsticks, which was ridiculously exaggerated.
"Damn it, it's so subversive..." Young Master Mu has never seen such a person before. Who is eating and talking at the table? It's not like now. In addition to being delicious and delicious, the room is so admirable, and there are only chopsticks hitting the plate and chewing sounds.
"Young Master Mu, eat it quickly, it will be gone in a while!" Jiang Xingchen greeted and quickly moved his chopsticks. When Han Xiaowuyun came to these seafood, he was a little surprised.
Yesterday, although he drew a lot of seafood in the letter he wrote to Han Xiaowu, he didn't expect to find so many of them, even sea cucumbers, abalones, and lobsters. Moreover, he had never seen such big mussels, and they were given by fishermen.
The size of these things is even more surprising. Not to mention crabs, the palm-sized abalone is one pound per head, four and a half pounds of lobsters, and big ginseng are all similar to the forearm. If it is placed on the earth, it will definitely be a top ingredient.
At this table today, except for sea cucumbers, he used steaming methods. First, the ingredients were incomplete, and this could also maintain the original flavor of seafood. As he expected, several people were very excited to eat.
After the meal was eaten by Master Mu, he immediately became like Zhao Danqing. Although he was an overseas person, he had never eaten anything except the big mussels. These things looked too ugly and no one dared to eat them before. When he saw these things just now, he muttered in his heart, stop Jiang Xingchen and wanted to poison himself. It was not until a group of people scrambled that he realized that these things were really edible and tasted very good.
Zhao Danqing was in the most interest today. Not only did he eat more, but he also drank a lot, so he killed half a jar of strong liquor, which was almost two pounds. Finally, he started shouting and started to urge him to make trouble.
The other people also drank a lot, except Jiang Xingchen, even the old man was a little shaken.
"Boy, these things are really good today. It is best to put them in Xingchenling as a brand new delicacy!" The old man said with his tongue wide.
"Haha!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not possible yet. With the current transportation conditions, these things are probably smelly when transported to Xingchen Collar... and sea cucumbers and abalones are best dried, dehydrated, and made into work to make it more delicious."
"Uh... there are so many more words!" The old man burped and said vaguely.
"That's not, diet is a big deal... When the old man's 100th birthday is coming, I will personally make a famous dish for you called Buddha Jumping over the wall!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
A light appeared in the old man's eyes instantly. At this moment, he seemed to be out of his mind and grabbed Jiang Xingchen: "No, I have to do it for me next year's birthday, and it will take ten years to be 100 years!"
Jiang Xingchen was dumbfounded. He woke up even when he heard that he had eaten. Is it so nonsense?
The old man grabbed Jiang Xingchen and shook it hard, muttering in his mouth. Jiang Xingchen regretted it very much. He wouldn't say it if he had known it, and he owed it... In desperation, he had to agree first.
After eating and drinking, the old man and Zhao Danqing, who were still screaming excitedly, left with arms around, and Jiang Xingchen kept Han Xiaowu and Master Mu.
"Xiao Wu, in a short time, a large project will be launched in the Curse Land... Less than half a day after entering the deserted mountains in the south, we found limestone with extremely large reserves..."
Listening to Jiang Xingchen's narration, Han Xiaowu's eyes became wider and wider, and Young Master Wood next to him was a little demented.
"Opening a river channel is more than ten miles in a straight line, and you still have to surround the mountain..." Han Xiaowu swallowed his saliva. Since the Lord came back yesterday, he has been thinking about what a major project it was, but he did not expect it to open a river channel.
"This is probably not much easier than the underground construction on Xingchenling!" Han Xiaowu murmured.
"Indeed!" Jiang Xingchen nodded. The Grand Canal in the previous life only connected the original river channel. The river channel directly excavated was actually not long. You can imagine how large the current project of this river channel surrounding the mountains is.
"I'll leave it to you here. The project requires a large number of personnel, so you have to contact us in advance. It is estimated that the first batch of funds will be in place in three to five months, and construction will start soon... The river site selection, how much you have to worry about it!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"I understand. I will definitely do this. Don't worry, Lord!"
Jiang Xingchen patted Han Xiaowu on the shoulder, turned his head and said to Master Mu: "In terms of shipbuilding and port construction, we have to rely on Master Mu. If you have any questions, tell Xiaowu directly!"
"Hu~" Young Master Mu breathed a long sigh and felt a little excited. He and his men had been doing some groceries for a long time, which was really a bit frustrating. Even if Jiang Xingchen agreed to help him return overseas, he had not made any contribution to Xingchen Leader, so why would he be embarrassed to ask for help from others?
Now it’s finally done. Shipbuilding is their strength, and they also understand how to build a port.
After the talk, Han Xiaowu and Young Master Mu stood up and left. Jiang Xingchen exhaled his wine and showed a smile. Everything went smoothly. The money Yilanxiang earned was enough to support the project here. When limestone was transported out, papermaking could be carried out. If the paper output increased, more money could be earned to support overseas development strategies... What was missing now is the problem of soda ash.
What Jiang Xingchen didn't know was that just when a group of people in the Curse Land celebrated Zhao Danqing's birthday, someone questioned the new perfume from the World Store. (To be continued)
