Xiang Chen came to Beichuan City to discuss business with the city on the border of Beichuan City. He had a fight with Hu Yan Zhuozhuo, the top master in Beichuan City, and finally negotiated with Hu Yan Zhuozhuo about Qiu You selling the Bei Yuan Empire.
In recent years, the Huyan family has developed better and better because of this business.
However, because of this business, many families with similar power to the Huyan family were jealous, and it also brought a lot of trouble to the Huyan family. Someone visited Huyan Zhuozhuo at the court of the Beiyuan Empire, saying that he and the Tianfeng forces
Collusion.
These matters were mentioned in the intelligence collected by Tianlang City, and Xiang Chen also knew something about them.
But he didn't take it too seriously. For him, the Huyan family was just a channel for cooperation.
If the Huyan family cannot keep such a business, then find another family that can keep such a business.
Fortunately, the Huyan family has blocked all the overt and covert attacks in recent years, and is still cooperating with Tianlang City. In these years, the business has become bigger and bigger, and the family has become more and more prosperous.
Huyan Zhuozhuo was also a visionary. When the family had more money, he not only used the money to establish connections with the court, but also used it to invest in building border defense forces.
This will prevent the Beiyuan Empire from easily kicking the Huyan family out of the border defense system.
He took Zhu Xi into a restaurant in Beichuan City, and Xiang Chen ordered dishes. He knew what was the best in Beichuan City and Beichuan City.
Not long after, the store delivered many local delicacies such as boiled sheep head, sheep tripe, sheep blood sausage, etc.
Xiang Chen cut the mutton tripe with his hands and the mutton blood sausage and said with a smile: "Most people here like to eat beef and mutton. They never need to add too much when cooking mutton. Just enough salt and ginger to stew the mutton."
Then cut it and dip it in this chive flower sauce to taste a unique flavor, which is very different from the way to eat Tianfeng mutton."
"But now it's dripping with dipping sauce autumn oil again."
Zhu Xi picked up a piece of sheep blood sausage and said, "These are all made of sheep blood? Isn't it fishy?"
Xiang Chen shook his head: "No, the method of making this sheep blood sausage is somewhat particular. Add flour, salt, and water, stir evenly, stir well to catch the sheep blood, and slaughter it now. The blood at this time has a certain temperature.
Stir, wait for the blood to coagulate, and then wash the front and back of the sheep intestines.
Crush the coagulated blood, cut the onions, ginger, and garlic into small pieces and put them into the pinched blood. Add more garlic. Continue to add spices, salt, and flour. Stir evenly. Pour into washed casings. Freeze when not eating.
, defrost it when you want to eat it, cook it over low heat, and use a toothpick to prick it if it becomes bloated during cooking."
Xiang Chen picked up the lamb blood sausage, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, nodded and said, "It has the aroma of mutton, the softness of tofu, and the slight spiciness of chive flowers. It's very good."
Zhu Xi also tried to eat it, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly at first, but gradually they relaxed as if they were familiar with the taste: "It's not bad, but it's not particularly delicious."
Xiang Chen laughed: "It's great that the delicacies from all over the world can leave good comments in the hearts of outsiders. After all, a country's soil and water support its people. What local people think of delicacies may be dark dishes in the eyes of outsiders."
Woolen cloth."
"To be knowledgeable means to be familiar with different customs and cultures, and to be familiar with all kinds of strange things. A frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky thinks that the sky is only so big. That's his knowledge. It's not that he is superficial. It's that the world will only be so big after he tries his best to explore."
"The wild goose migrates thousands of miles from north to south, sees thousands of rivers and mountains, and has countless living beings. It has vast knowledge. This is because it has a pair of wings to ride on the wind and experience passed down from generation to generation. However, it may not know what is in the small world in the well.
.”
"Just like you, you like to eat Zhejiang root, coriander, and durian, but there are still many people in this world who naturally don't like it. The delicacies in your eyes will make others gag after taking one bite. Is it because the delicacies themselves are delicious or not?
?no."
"Those are the definitions given by different groups of people. No matter whether the root, coriander or durian tastes good or not, it is still being itself. Its taste is not just to satisfy humans."
Zhu Xi said speechlessly: "Dad, your taste is too strong, but having said that, Zheer root and coriander are delicious. When one day I conquer the world, I will plant the world with Zheer root and coriander.
Get all the people who don’t like root, coriander, and durian to grow these three crops for me.”
Xiang Chen: "Haha, then you will be overthrown by people who don't like them, but the rough and dry terroir of this Northern Yuan land will most likely not be able to grow the crisp and tender roots of Southern Zheer."
At this time of meal, there were many people eating in the restaurant hall.
At this time, a hunchbacked old man led a slightly thin girl with a southern appearance into the hall. The girl also held an old pipa in her hand. The pipa looked old, but it was
It looks a bit shiny after being plated with patina.
The old man stood on a small table in the middle of the hall, cleared his throat and said: "Dear guests, parents, and parents, the young man and his granddaughter are storytellers. They are here today to add some elegance to your dining and drinking experience."
"If you guys think it's a good idea, I'll reward you with one or two amethysts. If you think it's not a good idea, just treat it as a joke."
Many guests eating and drinking in the hall cast their eyes. Storytelling is still quite popular in this world. Many stories about rivers and lakes immediately become vivid in the storytellers' vivid interpretations, even if they have not been seen with their own eyes.
"Today, let's talk about the story of the Feng Dynasty's martial arts conference in the past two thousand years. It is said that the martial arts conference was originally launched by the martial arts king Zhao Wuji, who is known as the first grandmaster of the Tianfeng Dynasty -"
The old man began to tell a story, and the girl next to him also played the pipa gently, adding some background music of this era to the old man's lifelike story.
The sound of the pipa is slightly muffled, probably because the strings are old and not well tuned, but the technique is very good and the sound does not cover up the old man's storytelling voice.
The old man's storytelling voice is even more lifelike, and one person can imitate countless voices, including the nobility and arrogance of Zao Wou-ki, the arrogance of Sukhbalu, and the pretentiousness of Xiang Chen when he appears.
He can even imitate the exclamations of crowds of people, the voices of women and children, and his ventriloquism skills are so good that it is as if the old man was there at the time.
This reminded Xiang Chen of a memory about ventriloquist in classical Chinese long ago. There was a person who was good at ventriloquist in the capital. When there was a banquet for guests, an eight-foot barrier was placed in the northeast corner of the hall. The ventriloquist sat in the barrier, with one table and one table.
There is only one chair, one foot long, and all the guests sit together.
The girl's pipa sound also changes with the story and the old man's tone. It becomes agitated when it should be agitated, and it becomes muffled when it is still low. The battle process is vividly depicted.
It is worth mentioning that many of the battle explanations were based on Xiang Chen’s on-site explanation of the battle at that time.
When the old man mentioned Xiang Chen's words: It's not that I look down on you two, it's true that if you two don't join forces, they are trash in my eyes! It immediately ignited the atmosphere in the audience, and countless men clapped their hands and applauded.
"I feel comfortable -" Xiang Chen, who was the protagonist of the party, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in the crowd at this moment. He was in the world, and his name was also in the world.
