Qu Wu's medicine contained the epidemic flu in Han Yue in a few days, which made Wu Rong much easier. When he was an assistant to the county governor before, he couldn't realize the responsibility and pressure, but now he realizes the difficulty of being in power.

Monarch Wu Quqi wanted to come to Hanyue to inspect, Wu Rong naturally did not dare to slack off, and he was busy with the reception in the past few days. After the arrangements for the yamen's transactional reception were made, Wu Rong came to Caiyun Tower again to discuss the king's dinner with Qu Wu.

Caiyun Tower is also busy receiving the monarch for the first time and welcoming the New Year. In addition to hygiene, some decorative colored balls, streamers, red lanterns and other things are also hung, which are full of festive colors. These paper decorations are delicate and chic, hanging under the eaves and swinging in the wind, which is very beautiful.

The people of Hanyue have never seen such an interesting rarity, many people are watching under the Caiyun Building, and some people even go to the door to ask if the nursing home can sell a little for them for the New Year.

Wu Rong was also very happy to see these things, and secretly sighed that Qu Wu was really a god. When I walked into the lobby, I saw Qu Wu directing everyone to hang colorful decorations in the lobby.

"Brother Qu Wu, your Caiyun Tower is more beautiful than our county government."

"Lord Wu is here. Hehe, of course, it would be nondescript if the county government also got these red, red, green and green things. Qu Wu said.

"That's it. I really envy you, what I see every day is beautiful things, or let's change, you go to be the county Yin, and I will take over Caiyun Building. ”

"My lord is trying to torment me, I can't be your official."

"In terms of ability, you are much stronger than me, and one day you will become the minister of the humerus."

"I really didn't think about it. However, I am really willing to serve the state of Wu one day and make the country of Wu a powerful country comparable to the state of Chu. Qu Wu said seriously.

"I believe there will be this day. I have come today to discuss with you the reception of the king in Hanyue."

"If you have any requests, please say it."

"The king arrives in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, dinner and the next day's lunch are in Caiyun Building, dinner is divided into four tables for thirty people, the king has a separate table, lunch is about one hundred people, the dishes of these two meals can not be the same, dinner should be prepared with wine, lunch can be simpler."

"In that case, I'd like to get something a little more chic. Stir-fry dishes for dinner and the like, I invited them to eat mandarin duck hot pot for lunch the next day, this thing is only available to me, two kinds of pot bottoms, one is a spicy pot bottom, it may be a little challenging to eat it for the first time, but it is really delicious You can taste it first after a while, and it is very simple to prepare. Qu Wu said.

"Yes, our king likes new things."

"I'll tell you the menu to be prepared in a moment."

"Okay. But that's fine, I'm sure of you. ”

"I will take out the best Moutai wine, this wine is the most high-end wine on our side, I have never taken it out to sell, at least half a catty of gold a bottle."

"Good. Of course, the best should be given to you. ”

"People who don't drink alcohol can taste our drinks, it's delicious".

"No problem."

"What are your hobbies? I'm going to give him a little bit of a gift. ”

"It's best to send something special that no one else has."

"How old is the gentleman's child?"

"The eldest is sixteen years old, the youngest is ten years old, and there are three children."

"Okay, I'll do what you want." Qu Wu said, thinking that the things in the warehouse had never been seen before, so it was too good to prepare.

Wu Rong and Qu Wu came to the kitchen again, personally took a look at the cooking environment, and told outsiders that from now on no outsiders were allowed to enter the kitchen, and sent soldiers to guard the door, and every dish made must be tasted by a special person to ensure that it is non-toxic.

Qu Wu called Wu Jiang and asked Kong Chen, the kitchen manager on duty, to make a mandarin duck hot pot, and chatted while tasting it together.

"Qu Wu, I'm curious, your hometown should be a very strong economic place, right? We can't do these things here, not even imitate them. Wu Rong said.

"Well, objectively speaking, that's true. We are brothers, so I will not shy away from this topic, we are more developed than you in every way. ”

"Tell me about it, and paint a picture of what it's like back home." Wu Rong was curious.

"Let's talk about the connection between people first, the people on our side are thousands of miles apart, and they can talk to each other and even see each other."

"It's unlikely, right? Is there really a clairvoyant tailwind? Wu Jiang said.

"Of course, this is also done with the help of a machine. Speaking of transportation, there are very few people riding horses in our country, horseback riding is just a kind of competitive sport, people's travel is carried out by machines, people can sit on winged machines and fly in the sky, tens of thousands of miles of road can be reached in a few hours. ”

"Really? It's also incredible. Wu Jiang sighed.

"The variety of food is very rich, and the style of dressing is very different from here, and I have some hometown clothes in the warehouse, if you are interested, you can also take a look."

"And do you have a war with your neighbors?" Wu Rong asked.

"I was in the army, so there must have been wars. But when it comes to war, our war there is much more brutal than here, and tens of millions of people die in big wars, and our soldiers there no longer use weapons such as swords and swords, but guns and cannons that attack from a distance, and can attack the enemy at a distance of tens of thousands of miles. ”

"Huh? How can you see it accurately? Wu Jiang asked.

"This kind of attack of tens of thousands of miles is a super-large-scale war, and the weapons in the hands of ordinary soldiers can kill each other within a few hundred steps."

"That's also very powerful, stronger than an arrow crossbow." Wu Jiang said.

"yes. However, because wars are so cruel, wars rarely occur in normal times, especially major wars. ”

"And how are you staying?" Wu Rong asked.

"People who live in rural areas generally live in two- or three-story buildings, while in cities they generally live in high-rise buildings, and some have dozens of floors, but these high-rise houses are very expensive."

"Dozens of floors? It's too hard to go upstairs. Wu Jiang sighed.

"It's easy to go upstairs, it's all pulled up by the machine."

"Huh? And this thing? Is there anything like or similar to us? Wu Jiang was so surprised that he couldn't do it.

"The similarity is farming. But we don't use oxen to plow the fields, we use machines, and the harvest is also machine-harvested. Another point is that our yield should be high, and one mu of land can yield 2,000 catties of rice. Qu Wu said.

"Huh? We're only over 100 pounds. Wu Rong said

"So there's a lot of potential."

"Can you tell us about your planting experience? Let's increase our production. Wu Rong said.

"I'm not good at farming, so I can see how you grow it in the spring and see if it's different from us. However, the rice you grow is only one variety of glutinous rice, and this variety is also produced in our place, and the yield seems to be only more than 700 catties, and there are many other varieties over there, some of which have a high yield. ”

"It's an eye-opener for me to talk to you about this today, but I don't understand it because I can't understand the machines." Wu Rong said.

"Machines are indeed very complex, and our machines there also have a process from simple to complex, the first machines are propelled by water vapor, that is, the gas propelled after the water is heated, and later developed to burn oil to propel. After all, we have a history of more than 2,000 years there. "Qu Wu didn't dare to say that he came from more than 2,000 years in the future, because then they wouldn't believe it at all, and they wouldn't understand it.
