Traditional Chinese medicine research believes that beef has the effects of nourishing qi, nourishing the spleen and stomach, strengthening muscles and bones, dissolving phlegm and relieving wind, quenching thirst and salivation.

Beef patties, also known as "mille-feuille beef patties", have a long history of more than 1,200 years.

In the Tang Dynasty, this cake was the royal point of the palace, and during the Anshi Rebellion, the palace chefs went to the people to sell beef cakes in Chang'an City, and the result was unexpectedly famous.

Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Sending Sesame Cakes and Yang Wanzhou": "The flax cakes are like Kyoto, the noodles are crispy and fragrant, and the fragrant ones are sent to the hungry Yang Ambassador, and the taste is like Fuxing", and the flax cakes referred to in the poem gradually evolved into the "crispy beef patties" of later generations......

In addition, there is also the food of soup cakes (in fact, ordinary noodle soup) that Zhao people cannot lack.

According to the information that Ling Hao had, the people of Zhao Guozhong generally love to eat pasta, so Ling Hao specially ordered the kitchen to make pasta today to entertain Xu Jian and Cheng Xia.

"Childe, what is this ......?"

"Recently, the house has made a new zero beef noodle cake, if the two gentlemen don't dislike it, please try it......" Ling Hao smiled.

"This ......" Xu Jian and Cheng Xia suddenly hesitated.

This Ling Gongzi doesn't seem to like to play cards according to the routine, and he hasn't done anything here, so he suddenly prepared such a good meal for the two of them...... It's a little too eye-catching.

However, this beef patty is the best choice in terms of appearance and smell, which shows how hard the Ling Mansion has done it.

"My Ling Mansion is not going to poison the wine and food because the two gentlemen are so embarrassed, the two gentlemen can eat and see. Ling Hao picked up the beef patty on his plate, chewed it heavily, and after eating a few bites, he took another sip of wine, and then looked at the two: "In this way, the two gentlemen should have no worries, right?"

"Then, I'll wait for this to start eating......" Xu Jue and Chengxia saw that Ling Hao drank the wine and ate the beef patty again, so they relaxed and began to eat the beef patty in a big gulp, and drank the clear and sweet chrysanthemum wine.

Well, this bread is so fragrant, it's been a long time since I've eaten something like this.

The two of them were really hungry, and they didn't care about their current image as scribes, and they ate bread and noodles in a big gulp, which opened Ling Hao's eyes.

It seems that these two people really came to sleep all the way, looking at the two of them who are not locked in the fourth layer of cultivation, Ling Hao gradually understood.

The people in this world, because of their high and low qualifications, and their cultivation resources are very limited, can only provide a part of the people with status and status to cultivate at most, and it is impossible to ensure that everyone can enjoy such generous resources.

"I don't know what happened in Zhao Guo, the two gentlemen actually made it look like this, can you easily inform me. ”

"Alas...... Don't hide it from the son, I and the other two of us were in the Zhao State, I didn't think that the king and the Shi family have a long-standing grudge, recently the king has begun to suppress the Shi family with the help of the Liu family and the Jin family, the two sides fought and both lost, but the two of us were implicated, just because the two of us said a few words on the king, the Shi family actually slaughtered my two family members cleanly...... Because of this, the two of us fled to Luoyi, hoping to hide here and wait for the wind to pass, and then return to Zhao ......" Xu Jian said.

"I see, but if the two gentlemen didn't pay it back before, will it be used by my Ling Mansion? Could it be that they are deceiving this son?" Ling Hao frowned.

"Ah...... The two of us only said this in a hurry, and it wasn't that we could deceive my son. Xu Jue and Cheng Xia saw that Ling Hao's expression was not very good-looking, and hurriedly got down and kowtowed to Ling Hao to confess.

"That's it, it's just that my Ling Mansion is self-inflicted, and the two gentlemen are so deceitful...... Give them some dry food and expel these two people from the house!" Ling Hao decisively issued an order to evict the guests.

"Childe! Childe...... Please listen to what the two of us say, now that the situation of Zhao Guo is delicate, the two of us are willing to tell Gongzi some secrets, and it will not be too late for Gongzi to expel the two of us after listening to it......"

"Zhao Guo's secret, that's good, you'd better talk about something useful, don't test the patience of this son. ”

"Yes, yes, please listen to the two of me come together to ......" Xu Cheng Xia returned to his seat and began to explain to Ling Hao the current political situation of Zhao and the contradictions between Zhao King Zhao and several other major clans of Zhao State.
