When Ejun heard this, he immediately bowed a few times, and swore to the sky: "The king, the ministers have always been loyal to the king, the sun and the moon can be seen, and the heaven and earth can be proven." ”

Xiong Huai saw that Ejun's eyes did not dodge, nodded and said: "I heard that the widow has done a lot of business, not only in the Chu Kingdom, but even in the northernmost Yan Kingdom. ”

Ejun was shocked, could it be that the king really took a fancy to his wealth?

So he immediately expressed his loyalty and said: "King, Weichen is willing to give five thousand gold..."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded: "Bastard, the widow has the wealth of the Chu State, how can he take a fancy to your little money?" ”

It turned out that the king of Chu didn't take a fancy to my wealth, so Ejun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What does the king mean?" ”

Xiong Huai said bluntly: "The widow wants to borrow your business in various countries to make a big deal with various countries, but after this transaction, my business in various countries may be hit, and the widow wants to ask you if you are willing to make sacrifices for the Chu country." ”

Ejun's heart beat quickly a few times, as long as the king of Chu didn't take a fancy to his family property, just some business, the loss would be a loss, and it would be a big deal to re-establish it.

So, he said magnificently: "I am willing to serve the king, even if I destroy my family and relieve the difficulties." ”

After a pause, E Jun asked cautiously, "I don't know what business the king wants to do?" ”

Xiong Huai said meaningfully: "Maimi." ”

"Maimie?" E Jun suddenly remembered Qu Yuan, who had just been dismissed.

"Exactly." Xiong Huai said to Li Qiu: "Get a few buns for Ejun." ”

"Yui."

Soon, the attendant walked up to Ejun with a round bamboo object and five steaming buns inside.

As far as the king of E saw in his mouth, the bun in the mouth of the king of Chu was not big, that is, the size of an egg, and it was round. At the top of the bun is the pattern carefully carved by the chef of the Chu Palace, and under the pattern, there is a very thin layer of white unknown object, crystal clear, as if it can be broken by blowing, through the white object, in the walking of the attendant, you can see some soup gently shaking in it.

"King, this is the bun?" Ejun asked.

Xiong Huai nodded: "Xianqing can taste it, this is a widow who studied it for two days and spent countless flours to develop it, except for the widow, Qing is the second person to taste the buns." ”

E Jun looked at this beautiful bun, like a work of art, and he couldn't bear to start.

After hesitating for a few breaths, under the expectant gaze of the King of Chu, E Jun was ruthless, quickly picked up a bun, then closed his eyes, and stuffed the entire bun into his mouth.

Before I could bite into the bun with all my strength, just a little squeezing, there was a strong fresh soup gushing into my mouth, with the smell of fish and the smell of mutton.

After swallowing the soup, a stream of heat instantly flowed from the mouth into the stomach, and then this heat instantly spread to the limbs.

After Xiong Huai saw that Ejun swallowed a bun, he quickly opened his eyes, stared at the bun, picked up a bun again with one hand, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and then the bun in his mouth was not swallowed, and his right hand couldn't help but reach out to the bun again.

Again, until all five buns were eaten, I licked my mouth unsatisfied.

At this time, E Jun noticed that the King of Chu had been staring at him, and hurriedly saluted: "King, Weichen is rude." ”

Xiong Huai is very satisfied with the performance of Ejun, Ejun represents the vast number of wealthy groups, as long as they approve, then the promotion of flour does not need to say more.

"Xianqing, how does it taste?" Xiong Huai smiled.

E Jun sighed: "The rumors are true, flour is really a rare mountain and sea delicacy, which makes people want to stop." ”

Saying that, E Jun looked at the King of Chu cautiously and said, "It's just that flour is not easy to obtain, otherwise it is a rare delicacy." ”

Speaking of which, Ejun has decided that after returning to Edi, he must hire someone to make flour day and night. After eating this bun, I immediately felt that the broth and barbecue I had eaten before were all tasteless, and it was really difficult to eat.

Xiong Huai laughed and said, "Let's go, Xianqing and the widow will go to a place." ”

Ejun thought that the king of Chu would take him to a secret corner of the Chu Palace, but he didn't want to be taken directly into the carriage.

With the drive of the carriage, he soon left the Chu Palace, and then left the Yingdu through the south gate, and quickly headed south. It was nearly an hour before the carriage came to a halt outside a barracks.

After getting off the bus, E Jun saw Zhaoyu Zhaoju and Qu Yuan and Chen Zhen, who were already waiting outside the camp.

After the ceremony.

Zhaoyu asked, "I don't know what the king has summoned me?" ”

Xiong Huai sold a pass and said, "Qing and others will know later." ”

Then he said to Zhao Ju: "Is the stone mill ready?" ”

He replied: "Back to the king, after three days of research, two stone mills have been successfully made. ”

"Okay, take the widow to have a look."

He replied: "Only." ”

Then he took the lead, first passed through a wooden camp wall, and entered the barracks, which was heavily guarded, with three steps, one post, five steps, and one sentry, and many teams patrolling back and forth.

After walking inward, I turned a corner and saw a mountain pass, and a group of people were building a stone wall at the intersection.

Beyond the stone wall, there is another military camp, and the stone wall is still under construction on the outside.

Inside the stone walls, there are many tents, and some people are building houses.

Inside the tent, there was a constant sound of pounding stones.

The three of Zhaoyu, Ejun and Chen Zhen, who came here for the first time, all showed puzzled expressions.

What secrets are hidden in this military camp, and the guards are so tightly guarded, I am afraid that even the Chu Palace is slightly inferior.

Soon he led the people into a tent.

In the center of the tent, the most striking thing is that the main body is all made of stone, divided into three layers, the upper layer is a round pie-shaped stone, and a wooden pole sticks out from one side of the stone, and two slaves with anklets are pushing hard, making the stone slowly turn.

Beneath the stone was another stone of the same size, and between the two stones, some white powder was spilling out in a steady stream, and finally landed on the lowest stone platform, where it was swept into a cloth bag by a slave.

In addition to the stone mill, there were four soldiers guarding it.

He pointed to several sealed cloth bags next to him and said: "King, among these bags, it is the flour that is milled today, as long as there is a stone mill and multiple slaves are rotated, in one day, you can grind close to two stones of flour." ”

"Flour?" Zhaoyu Ejun was shocked at the same time.

Zhao Yu was shocked and asked, "Zuo Gong, are you saying that these powders are all flour?" Flour made from wheat and rice? ”

He nodded in response, "Back to the empty words, these powders are flour. ”

Hearing this, E Jun confirmed: "Zuo Gong, are you sure that a few strong men can get two stones of flour in one day?" ”

"Exactly. ”
