Chapter 122 The spices are out, let’s cook a hot pot first!
Cao Hong's words were both impassioned and impassioned, and even loud.
"Cai!" Lu Yan couldn't help but cheered, and even clapped his hands like "Pah!"
After the applause, a poem came to Lu Yan's mind, and he couldn't help but say it: "I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent!"
"I am born with talents that will be useful. I will come back after all the money I have spent... Tsk tsk..." After Cao Hong savored it, he complimented Lu Yan: "Sir, you can actually recite poems and compose poems. His literary talent is indeed extraordinary!"
"Zilian, you see, you are indeed the most suitable person to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce." Lu Yan patted Cao Hong's thick shoulder and said with emotion.
However, Cao Hong, who had just complimented Lu Yan and was patted on the shoulder and praised by Lu Yan, suddenly fell down again, "But sir, I, Cao Hong, am also a general of the Han Dynasty and the county magistrate of Xuchang! You are now
But he asked me to take charge of a group of businessmen..."
"emmm..." Lu Yan indeed felt that Cao Hong was in a bit of trouble.
Letting him deal with businessmen is undoubtedly degrading his status.
After thinking about it, Lu Yan felt that he still had to persuade him, but just when he was about to speak, Cao Hong suddenly said, "It's okay to let me take charge of the chamber of commerce, but you have to pay more!"
Lu Yan: "???"
Glancing at Lu Yan's astonished expression, Cao Hong looked seriously and analyzed: "Sir, think about it! If I put a lot of energy into the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make a big difference in my career or the military in the future.
Already..."
"Actually, even if you devote yourself wholeheartedly, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything in the future. If you are not related by relatives, you may not be able to get along in your life..." However, this was just what Lu Yan was thinking, and he did not say it out loud. It was too hurtful.
.
Seeing Lu Yan's silence, Cao Hong quickly added: "I feel that if I take charge of the Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly be transferred to the government.
Therefore, I feel that since the government comes forward, it is natural to set up a relatively high door frame.
Hong believes that any merchant who wants to join the Chamber of Commerce must first verify their qualifications and pay a large membership fee. If this is not the case, everyone can come and leave whenever they want, wouldn’t it look like we are
Not enough structure..."
"Huh?" Lu Yan didn't expect this, "It seems that you are indeed a genius in this field!"
After receiving the compliment, Cao Hong suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming, and said: "So, I think the president should be able to make another addition from the membership fee! Since I gave up part of it, it is better to get it from other places.
Get some compensation..."
The arrogant Cao Hong is like a wild goose plucking his hair!
However, his performance in this business field was indeed amazing, so Lu Yan said simply: "I think your proposal is very good!"
Hearing that Lu Yan approved his proposal, Cao Hong suddenly said happily: "Sir, just agree!
Na Hong felt aggrieved and became the president of this chamber of commerce!"
That's really wronging you...
Lu Yan looked at Cao Hong, who was talking about grievances, but his expression looked like a villain who has succeeded, and said:
“Zilian, there are still many imperfections in the merchant’s terms and conditions.
You first combine my plan, and then reorganize a set of implementation standards for the chamber of commerce based on your own ideas.
In seven days, you bring it to my Chenliu County, and then we will discuss and finalize the details together, and then move forward with this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Hong solemnly folded the silk and put it into his arms, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Here! Hong Ding will live up to his mission!"
Once Cao Hong is dealt with, the business of the Chamber of Commerce will be half successful.
As for attracting investment, that is something that Cao Hong, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, should worry about in the future.
After walking out of the county government office, Lu Yan stretched and said to Xia Houlan: "Zi Heng, it's rare for us to come to Xuchang. Why don't we go shopping first and then go back?"
"Let the master arrange it!" Xia Houlan said naturally.
"How do you imitate Zilong's speech?" Lu Yan glanced at Xia Houlan strangely...
...
On the outskirts of Chenliu City, three miles south of the workshop, is the garrison of the Beiwei Army.
Since the battle between Juancheng and the trapped camp,
Before setting off for the expedition, I thought I was already an invincible Beiwei army, but in the first battle, I received a slap in the face from the trapped camp.
It was obvious that his equipment was at least two levels better than the opponent's, but in the end he was suppressed by the opponent's experience and tactics.
Retrospective summary,
In addition to the lack of experience, Taishi Ci also felt that his military units were too single.
Compare with other similar arms.
Yuan Shao's subordinates, Qu Yi's soldiers who died first, although they were also wearing heavy armor,
But they are also equipped with heavy crossbowmen and broadswordmen wearing light armor.
The existence of these two well makes up for the problem of heavy armored soldiers' lack of long-range firepower containment and close attack power.
However, Wei Jun's Su Ti Dao can cut iron like clay, so I don't have to worry about its attack power, but its flexibility is really lacking.
After much thought, Taishi Ci still felt that there should be a light armored force, preferably light cavalry, to cooperate.
However, it is difficult for them to obtain war horses now, so they have to put aside these thoughts for the time being.
"Let's go together!"
"One two one! One two one!"
"Turn backwards!"
"block!"
"prick!"
"hack!"
The training in the military camp of Beiwei Army was in full swing.
Outside the military camp, farmers were also busy harvesting grain.
With good weather and no harm from the war, coupled with Chenliu County's extensive water conservancy construction, Chenliu County will naturally have a bumper harvest this year!
Not only corn, wheat, but also cash crops such as peppers are harvesting time.
There is an area in the workshop specially designated for women to work.
Here, they quickly transformed chilies, peppers, etc. into various attractive spices based on methods they had developed long ago.
The spices are out,
So today, Lu Yan's house welcomed a midnight snack that Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Xia Houlan and others would never forget!
Not only the person with whom I have the best relationship,
Lu Yan also invited two new guys, Yi Ji and Han Hao, to come to his house for a late-night snack.
Everyone sat around a newly built earthen stove in the yard.
Soon, Lu Yan personally brought an exaggerated cauldron, placed it on the stove, and said to everyone:
"Come on, come on! Let's have hot pot tonight!"
Firewood is burning in the earthen stove, and above the stove is a huge mouthful of oily soup with red peppers rolling in it!
Lu Yan used his palm to send a burst of fresh air into the stove. The raging fire suddenly jumped up and started licking the bottom of the pot fiercely.
When everyone saw this scene, Guo Jia sighed: "It is indeed a hot pot, just like its name..."
A handyman brought all kinds of fresh ingredients to the table.
Looking at the hot pot, Lu Yan, who had been deflated for too long, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Before the dishes were all served, he picked up a pair of specially made chopsticks that were as long as a forearm, picked up a piece of mutton, and couldn't wait to put it into the soup pot and started rinsing it.
Seeing that everyone was staring blankly at him without making any movement, Lu Yan greeted: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and take action!"
Guo Jia was the most cooperative. He also picked up the long chopsticks, followed Lu Yan's actions, picked up a piece of mutton, and put it into the soup.
After a dozen breaths, Lu Yan picked up the mutton.
After putting it into various dishes mixed with various seasonings and stirring for a while, he finally stuffed the mutton into his mouth...
"Oh~~~hot pot, my favorite!!!"
Lu Yan closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment, as if his soul had left his body.
Guo Jia also dipped the seasoning in, and after putting it in his mouth, his whole face turned red... "It's so spicy!!!"
Next door, Lu Lingqi, who was passing by the courtyard wall, suddenly heard Guo Jia's ghost call, and then smelled a strange aroma, "Hey, what are they doing next door? It smells so good!"
