After solving the problem of eating first, they found a restaurant not too far from the city gate, and Chen Xi walked in with Fan Jian and Chen Lan.
As soon as he entered, the waiter ran away yelling and couldn't hold him back. Chen Xi looked helplessly at Fan Jian. How could he be so scary? Fan Jian couldn't help but smile, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
On the other side, Chen Lan already chuckled, and then she covered her mouth when she saw Chen Xi's expression, and her body trembled slightly.
Soon the shopkeeper of the restaurant ran out, his rich body, or rather fat body swaying left and right as he ran, ran to Chen Xi, took a deep breath, suppressed his breath and said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, please."
.”
"Is there a separate room?" Chen Xi looked around and asked.
"Yes, yes, Gouzi, lead Mr. Chen to the second floor." He glanced at the two women behind Chen Xi and nodded in understanding.
Sitting in the room by the window on the second floor, Chen Xi thought this time that it seemed that the entire restaurant in Fenggao belonged to the Mi family. After Mi Zizhong came to Fenggao, he didn't do any other business. He just opened some restaurants and then...
I went to Qingzhou to buy refined salt, and then I came back. I didn't take half a day's rest, and then I went to Jiangdong to talk to the Lu family. How come no one came to inform me about the situation of the Lu family?
Four dishes were quickly served, two cold, two hot, and the staple food was steamed buns. It is said that steamed buns have now defeated corn rice and become the new food, and it is also powerful enough to compete with white rice. I heard that the current kind of steamed buns
Food has begun to spread throughout the Central Plains.
Chen Xi has trouble controlling this. One is that the method is simple, and the other is that it is cheaper to eat than dead noodles, and it is easier to digest. The same weight of dead noodles will make you hungry faster.
If it spreads, it will spread. Chen Xi has nothing to say. He also wants to get some vegetable oil or something, but unfortunately the time is wrong, so he hopes to get some soybeans to make soybean oil. As for how to remove the beany smell, this is beyond the scope of his knowledge. As for suppressing
Chen Xi has already thought of making bean dregs cakes from oiled bean dregs. It is definitely a pollution-free natural product, and it doesn’t even need to add oil...
Anyway, Chen Xi thinks that his product is much better than the one made by the black-hearted businessmen of later generations. Who knows what those people added to it? At least this kind of product is generally harmless and green except for a little less oil.
The food during the Three Kingdoms period does taste average, with almost no condiments and not many ingredients. But the good thing is that it is absolutely safe. Chen Xi can swallow any dish with soy sauce, vinegar and salt. By the way, he really wants to eat beef.
, but it is a pity that there have been no cows killed recently...
The habit of the eldest lady who eats and sleeps silently makes the entire dinner table extremely silent. There is no way for Yan Jian to sit there. The aura of the eldest lady who has been in the family for thousands of years is immediately revealed. Chen Lan can only eat obediently, but Chen Xi can
Open your mouth, but what do you say? No one will reply, so it’s better not to say anything.
"Alas~" Chen Xi turned his head and looked out the window in boredom. Now he was a little entangled. Is it really a good thing to raise such a wife? This aura is so full. It would be better to raise him as a sister, but if he raised him as a wife, it would be better.
This habit of being silent while eating made him a little unbearable.
Chen Xi leaned against the window, tilted his head back, and looked sideways at the city gate, but he didn't notice the smile on the corner of Fan Jian's mouth.
"Eh!" Chen Xi looked at the huge caravan below. A big flagpole with the word "Lu" was stuck on the leading caravan. After thinking for a moment, he realized that this should be a businessman from the Lu family in Jiangdong.
[The word "land" means he should be a direct relative of the Lu family, and now the only person who can be called a direct relative of the Lu family, and who can still come here is probably Lu Jun.] Chen Xi thought as he looked at the caravan below.
"Jian'er, when you two finish eating, ask the shopkeeper to send you back. I'll go down and take a look. I seem to have seen something interesting." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face.
"Well, if you have something to do, you can handle it by yourself. Lan'er and I can go back by ourselves." Fan Jian said without raising his head.
"I'm leaving first." Chen Xi stood up and left.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, Chen Xi frowned and thought about the Lu family's actions. He didn't believe that Mi Zhu didn't tell the Lu family to be cautious and not to get involved with Taishan, but now the Lu family still came in a big way. This was unreasonable.
At this moment, the guards of the caravan also appeared. They were all strong men wearing single clothes with slightly dark skin. They all had steel knives on their waists. There were more than a hundred people. Finally, a carriage came in and pulled
The driver of the carriage was a man in brocade clothes, carrying a large sword on his back, which was as wide as the backs of two hands and more than five feet long. There was also a chain wrapped around his body, which jingled with the carriage.
[This Lu family is really not simple. These guards and the leader of the guard who drives the carriage are not simple roles. They can actually train the guards to be in the military. Or simply say that these people are veterans. Lu Kang also
It's really a big investment.] Chen Xi stared at the guards curiously. As for the carts of salt, he wasn't interested. There was no shortage of them in Mount Tai.
[Salt?] Chen Xi suddenly realized that something was wrong. Even if the Lu family were fools, they should not transport salt to Mount Tai. As a shipper, how could they deliver the goods to the shipper? His thoughts suddenly turned around, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
.
"Gouzi, come here." Chen Xi smiled and shouted to Gouzi who was helping in the restaurant. It was really troublesome to come out without a guard.
"Mr. Chen." Gouzi bowed.
"Get me pen and ink. If you have paper, bring me a piece of paper." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, showing no signs of panic.
Soon Gouzi got the pen and ink, but there was no paper, only a blank scroll.
Chen Xi quickly spread out the slips, then wrote down what he saw, and then how to deal with it, and then took out his jade pendant and handed it to Gouzi.
"Gouzi, run to the Government Affairs Office and hand the letter to Zijing, the county magistrate. It was so smart of me to nationalize the entire row of houses on Central Street. Why don't I use it now?" Chen Xi said to Gouzi.
I couldn't understand the words at all.
Seeing Gouzi leave, Chen Xi looked at the Lu family's caravan that was still moving slowly. It's true that good people don't come, and bad people come. Someone decided that it was necessary to use some thunderous tactics just after Taishan recovered.
I really thought that after Taishan sent his soldiers to develop Qingzhou, they would be in a state of internal emptiness. Hahaha, no matter who they are this time, Chen Xi doesn't intend to know about them. He just wants to kill them all.
As for the role of the Lu family, it depends on what the Lu family says later. It may be difficult to develop Qingzhou, but it is not too troublesome to conquer Yangzhou.
The natural dangers of the Yangtze River and the comfortable life in the south of the Yangtze River have long sapped the fighting spirit of those people. Chen Xi is very happy to let Liu Bei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, help his brother Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. A celebrity from the Qing Dynasty who has no ambitions to sit in Yangzhou is far more powerful than Sun Ce.
Much easier to deal with.
