Seeing Jia Xu's agreement, Lu Ying led everyone to the courtyard of his home, at this time a round table had been placed in the courtyard, a big hole was opened in the table, and a stove was placed in the hole, and a large iron pot was placed on the stove, and the reasonable design of the iron pot made it stuck in the hole of the round table.

Even if Jia Xu thought he was a learned person, he had never seen a dining table with such a structure.

"Lord, why are you doing this?" Everyone looked at each other, and most of the people present were newcomers to the Lu family, so Guan Yu took the initiative to ask.

"It's called hot pot! This is an invention of my eldest brother, and it tastes so delicious! Lu Bu replied first.

In Lu Bu's mind, except for Lu Ying's poor martial arts, the rest are really knowledgeable and proficient, especially Lu Ying's self-created hot pot, mushroom roast duck, spicy meat skewers, and the cold bean porridge, oh! and the self-brewed rice wine, which is simply a fairy in the world, which is really mouth-watering.

Therefore, his eldest brother deserves his own admiration.

"Let's sit down first and then taste" As he spoke, Lu Ying had already taken Jia Xu's hand and sat down first, and then beckoned the little maid to send a stack of ingredients such as lamb tripe, sheep brain, mutton, pork, eggplant, radish and so on.

"It's all raw food, how do you eat it?" After Jia Xu saw the ingredients presented, he finally couldn't help but post.

Lu Ying didn't answer, but lifted the lid of the cauldron on the table, only to see the red and hot hot oil, making a gurgling sound, the big bones in the soup were faintly visible, and the aroma in the cauldron came to the nostrils.

Because of the lack of eating cattle in the late Han Dynasty, the soup stock made by Lu Ying was based on chicken soup and pork bones, supplemented by salt, elm paste, Sichuan pepper, orange peel, vinegar, green onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, starch, honey and other ingredients boiled many times, before trying to come up with the hot pot soup that is closest to the modern taste.

I saw Lu Ying pick up a piece of lamb tripe, put it in the boiling red soup and soak it a few times until the hairy belly changed color, and then put the hairy belly that was still dripping with oil on Jia Xu's plate.

"Please taste the text and talk about one or two," Lu Ying said to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was skeptical, picked up the hairy belly with a chopstick, put it in his mouth, the hot feeling exploded in his mouth, and the freshness of the hairy belly was undoubtedly revealed, but the shame of the mutton was gone.

Jia Xu's eyes widened suddenly: "It's really delicious in the world!" ”

Guan Yu, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and others saw Jia Xu's performance, and they also followed Lu Ying's example, each picking up lamb tripe or mutton and putting it in the hot pot.

"The mutton needs to be soaked for a while and cooked before it can be eaten," Lu Ying added, and then looked at Lu Budao, who was already on the side, and couldn't wait: "Xiaobu, you can start." ”

Lu Bu couldn't hold it anymore, so he brought a pot of mutton and poured it directly into the pot: "All the heroes here are heroes!" Hot pot is more refreshing to eat like this! ”

Everyone has tasted it, and they all think that this food is wonderful, and they all laughed when they heard Lu Bu's words, and seeing that the atmosphere during the banquet was high, Lu Ying took out his own wine.

The liquor brewed by Lu Ying adopts the distillation and brewing method, although the conditions are limited and it is not easy to make, but it is also many times higher than the brewing process at that time, and the degree is more than 30 degrees, and the main drink of the Han Dynasty at that time was rice wine, where did you drink such a strong liquor?

After three rounds of drinking, everyone has a little fluttering, Lu Ying is also drunk, and the sorrow caused by Li Zhong's matter has also faded a lot.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are a businessman, when they encounter such fine wine, they are full of pride, and they are greedy for a few more glasses, so Lu Ying ordered his subordinates to send the two of them to rest first, while Jia Xu has always been strict with himself, and after tasting the strength of this wine, he has been deliberately controlling it, but there is no big problem at this time.

Lu Ying saw that only the Lu brothers and Guan Yu were left in the table, and pretended to be drunk and asked Jia Xu: "Wen He knows why it is called hot pot at this time?" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and then replied: "Put the pot on the stove and burn it until it rolls, so it is called hot pot."

Lu Ying smiled slightly: "Wen He only said this first meaning. ”

Jia Xu didn't have the slightest arrogance, but bowed his hand and said: "Please Ziliang for advice"

"Hot pot soup, from the initial calm, to the boiling of the fire, to the young man's stewing, and finally back to calm. Just like this life, although there are times when poverty and hardship are unwilling, there are pillars of talent, and they become the three princes and report to the court. Lu Yingfu took another drink and replied.

Jia Xu didn't let Lu Yingren speak lightly, but pondered for a long time and said: "Dare to ask Ziliang's eyes, who is the talent of the pillars?" ”

"Let's not talk about those who have already reached the top of the ranks, but today we will talk about those who have not ascended to high positions. Cao Cao of Qian County, not afraid of the eunuch's obscenity, cane to kill the figure, although he has resigned and returned home, but like a dragon into the abyss, he will jump out. ”

"Yuan Shao of the Yuan family, although he made up for his father's funeral, he skillfully avoided the dispute between the party and the government, and when the situation was clear, he would be an official and prominent in the family of the fourth and third dukes."

"Wu Di Sun Jian, although young, was already the head of any county, this person was fierce and decisive, and when he was young, he broke the yin and yang thief Xuchang with thousands of people to make a rebellion (Xuchang, a native of Huiji County, had raised troops in Juzhang, proclaimed himself Emperor Yangming, and together with his son Xu Shao, he instigated the counties everywhere and gathered tens of thousands of accomplices. Sun Jian summoned thousands of strong men to break it), and it will become a great weapon in the future."

Lu Ying said while drinking, drunk a little deeper.

Jia Xu seemed to understand a little, and asked with a smile one after another: "Is there still a person who is a pillar of this pillar?" ”

Lu Ying suddenly snatched the big bowl of Lu Bu's drinking, drank it all, and then stood up and said loudly:

"There's another person right in front of you! This person has hills and valleys, few ambitions, has studied four books and five classics, and is also a person who has read poetry and books, and there are more brothers Lu Bu and his friend Guan Yu, martial arts are extraordinary, such as the tiger of the world, although this person is not ambitious, just a small tun Changer, but over time, it will be a hero of one party, the prince of a state. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ying looked at Jia Xu straightly.

This is also the goal that Lu Ying set for himself, to achieve a prince, sit and watch the changes in the world, and live in troubled times.

When Lu Bu and Guan Yu heard Lu Ying's praise, their faces were also flushed, and they didn't intervene, but instead took a big bowl and drank wine one bowl after another, showing their pride on the table.

"Wenhe now lives in Dong Gong's place, only in the name of a guest, in my opinion, it is really a wronged talent, but there is Dong Gong's son-in-law Li Ru, and there are thousands of people who defect, when will they come out? How to live up to the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, praised by Yan Zhong, a famous man in Liangzhou? ”

If it were someone else, Lu Ying would never dare to invite him like this, but Jia Xu is the best at perceiving people's hearts, the second is the best at figuring out people's feelings, and the third is the best at protecting himself. What Lu Ying said today, although it is a bit rebellious, but it is also very sincere, and Jia Xu will never spread today's events, and Lu Ying used the strength of wine to test Jia Xu.

Who knew that Jia Xu also laughed: "I am in Uncle Fang's place, and I am a little uncomfortable with the truth, otherwise I will not be so concerned about this matter, and I took the initiative to ask Uncle Fang to say that plainclothes go first, I really want to show my talent to Uncle Fang, so I recommended myself!" I never thought that I would gain a lot from coming here, and I could meet a young hero like Lu Ziliang."

Seeing that Jia Xu didn't say anything to death, Lu Ying was overjoyed, but he also clearly understood that if he recruited Jia Xu now, it would be impossible to achieve it, and what he said now was mainly to plant a seed for the future.

"Wenhe, how about I become two thousand servants a day, and serve the court with me?" Lu Ying personally filled Jia Xu with a glass of wine.

Jia Xu was also touched by the pride on the table at this moment, and when he saw Lu Ying's heroic posture, he suddenly felt like a fire in his chest, and he was unhappy if he didn't drink! took the initiative to take the wine glass handed by Lu Ying, drank it all, and responded with a little drunkenness: "When Ziliang becomes famous, if you still remember today's words, I will repay you and help Ziliang become a pillar of the country!" Help Han Weide Yongchang! ”
