Between the Great Wilderness City and Qingshan City, there are only more than 400 miles apart. But the living environment of the people is one day and one place. Qingshan City, which is mixed with the west bank of the river, has long been thousands of miles away; The great desert city on the east bank of the river is still thriving with birds and flowers.

To paraphrase the words of the people of the Great Wilderness City: In the troubled times, to have such a good life depends on Li Zilin's shitch crumbs! It can be seen from this that Li Zilin's shameless act of killing Li Deng's entire family and defecting to the enemy before the battle has indeed touched the moral bottom line of every Dongyou people; However, Li Zilin defected to Chaolu, which saved Dongyou Road from being invaded by war, and the people did not have any psychological burden.

These people stand on the moral level every day, scolding Li Zilin's ancestors for three generations, eager to drink the blood in his body, and tear every inch of flesh and skin on his body; But secretly, no one organized a revenge assassination plan at all, not even a little trouble!

In this way, the people of the Great Wilderness City also know what is bad. Of course, such a "rational" behavior of the people also directly led to Li Zilin secretly inviting foreign aid, disguised as an assassin, and ambushed himself several times to dispel the secret visits of those who had intentions.

At noon today, the three of them enjoyed a milky Mobei pot tea in the conference hall of Dongyou Wangfu; In the evening, it was the turn of the main family Li Zilin to be the host, and set up a banquet in the Invitation Moon Tower of the Great Wilderness City to entertain his new master, Chaolu and his wife.

Since it's a feast, it won't be just a small dinner for three people.

Tonight's banquet will be held in the most luxurious restaurant in the Great Wilderness City, Invite Yue Lou. This building was originally Li Deng's industry, divided into three floors, and the back kitchen is known for Jiangnan city cuisine and Ludong Confucian cuisine. Because the Mobei people have a heavy taste and are good at meat and oily, Li Zilin chose an authentic Ludong cuisine banquet.

The top floor of the Invitation Moon Tower, the structure is like the top of the tower, supported by four solid pillars, and the four walls are composed of archways, which can be pushed and stacked at any time, turning into a "water pavilion in the sky" with Jiangnan style. In summer, drink tea and listen to the rain, and then pair it with a few dishes of light and refreshing Jiangnan side dishes to enjoy a quiet and elegant atmosphere; In the cold winter season, you can also enjoy the snow around the hearth, and then cook a "one-product mountain treasure pot" with fresh mountain delicacies, supplemented by various game, which is really a joy in the world.

Of course, the price of the box at the top of this tower is also staggeringly high!

When Li Zilin led Chaolu and his wife to slowly climb to the third floor of the top of the pagoda; On a large mahogany table with gilt relief, eight plates of side dishes have been set up. There were four richly dressed middle-aged men sitting at the table, and when they heard the footsteps of the three of them climbing the stairs, they all turned their heads together.

"Four elders, forgive Li for being slow to come! Come, come, let me introduce you to you......"

Li Zilin greeted the four elders and moved out of the staircase; Mobei's main mother Saldi is first, and the Great Khan Chaolu is behind, and the two real "main families" slowly come into the eyes of the four.

"This one is the Chaolu Great Khan of the Mobei Grassland; This one is the wife of the Great Khan, the mother of the Sardi......"

Li Zilin is worthy of being a scene person, singing and harmonizing with Saldi, quickly bringing the embarrassing atmosphere of the first meeting between the two sides closer. After some pushing, the highest-ranking Chaolu Great Khan was "forcibly" relinquished to the throne; And Li Zilin also picked up the brass rattle on the tea table and evoked the dish.

According to traditional etiquette, before the opening of authentic Lu cuisine, the elder chairman must speak; Moreover, as a woman, Sardi is not only not allowed to eat at the table, but is not even allowed to step on the stairs on the third floor. It's just that today's seven-person seat has one less chaperone; And except for Li Zilin, the other six people together couldn't understand the twenty words, so they simply opened the table directly.

Li Zilin picked up a glass of warm rice wine and got up, and after a lap, he raised his head and drank it all, and sat back in the position of the main escort; Immediately, he waited for a long time, only to feel that the atmosphere at the banquet was extremely embarrassing, and he couldn't help kicking Chaolu Khan, who was facing a plate of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea to Make Arhats" and wandering outside the world.

"Oooh oh...... Zilin, this ...... What kind of meat is this? ”

Chaolu, who came back to his senses, actually pointed to the "welcome dish" on the table and asked such a question. In fact, it is not said that Chaolu, who was born as a slave, did not know him, and even Li Zilin, who had lived a privileged life since childhood, had only seen such a "world" twice when he accompanied Li Deng to sit at the table.

However, as soon as these words came out, the four new elders of the Li family immediately showed a disdainful smile on their faces after hearing this.

Li Zilin's face was stunned, afraid that Chao Lu's face would not be able to hang up, so he turned his face on the spot; Immediately coughed a few loudly, and after attracting attention, he quickly stood up and stretched out his arm, blocking the meeting point of sight between the two sides:

"Great Khan, please look, this is chicken breast, this is the dorsal fin of the East China Sea shark, this is the cold water sea cucumber of Ninghai Port, and this is the upper ...... of Jiangnan Province ham."

After Li Zilin finished introducing all kinds of precious ingredients, he took the copper kettle that the young man took from the charcoal stove and slowly poured out the cool liquid......

"Cook it in piping hot chicken broth and you're ready to eat! Great Khan, master mother, please try this, the eight immortals cross the sea to make Arhats! ”

Not to mention how it tastes, but to say that the extravagance of this dish has completely broken the psychological defense line of a hard-working person like Chaolu.

When Chaolu was still a slave, he mainly relied on the bones thrown out of the tent by his master, sick and dead livestock, wild mushrooms and dairy products, and short-tailed mice, foxes and other wild things to make a living; If it weren't for the "fornication" with the young lady of the main family, Saldi, he didn't know which winter famine or which plague he would have died in......

Nowadays, the cost of a single dish can be exchanged for the ration of no less than five slaves for a lifetime. Such a huge gap made Chaolu's heart blocked by resentment and greed, and he couldn't think of any decent polite words to alleviate the coldness of the banquet.

"There are so many good things, my sister has never even heard of them. I said this big brother...... It should also be surnamed Li, right? Can you tell me about this soft and white ...... Fish maw, what is it? ”

"If you go back to the master's mother, this thing is made of yellow-lipped fish maw produced in the waters of the two rivers and dried in the sun, which is really a holy product of nourishment."

"Is it a good thing?"

"It's a first-class goodie!"

"Then I need to taste it......"

I have to say that Sardi is indeed a strange woman with great wisdom in her chest. Although she had never seen these rare ingredients, she was not as tough as ordinary women; Instead, he generously accepted it, and asked for advice with an open heart, like those proud "broad old men", so that the other party could weaken the psychological safety distance in the way of teaching.

However, when a piece of soft and sweet fish gelatin was swallowed, Saldi's face changed, and he put down the spoon again. And the porcelain sound she deliberately made also woke up Chaolu, who was immersed in greed and hatred:

"What's wrong? Are they ......?"

Chaolu just wanted to ask if it was poisonous in the dish, but was immediately interrupted by Saldi:

"Great Khan! I'm just worried about my brothers and sisters at home, as well as Qin Bari, who is fighting bloodily under the enemy's city. We are eating such delicious food in such a beautiful restaurant; But they don't have a grain of grain in their stomachs......"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zilin immediately cheered for Saldi in his heart! If it is compared to the bloody battle, the five Youbei masters in the house are tied together, and they may not have beaten a Mobei warrior! But if it is a circle and Tai Chi, he will have 500 Mobei men together, and he can't play Li Zilin alone!

If you continue to develop according to the rhythm of the Li family, it is not said that it is a meal to finalize the matter of borrowing grain; I'm afraid that in June next year, they are still discussing the customs and customs of Youbei Third Road!

Don't look at Saldi's unsightly appearance, she is just a standard Mobei woman; But she used her strength to use just the right amount! Besides, now she doesn't understand the doorway of Huayu's dinner; But with her great wisdom, she also led the topic to the main text.

Saldi, who has not yet entered the Central Plains, faintly has the peerless demeanor of the mother's world.

On the other hand, Chaolu also woke up like a big dream, stood up with his backhand, hugged the wine jar on the tea and wine table in his arms, and after making a circle, he said in a deep voice:

"This jar of wine, even if I make amends for those "unpleasant words" for a while! Please! ”

After finishing speaking, Chaolu held the wine jar and raised his head, tons and tons...... Drink a clean one.

"Hiccup...... Why is this wine a little sweet, it doesn't taste good! Everyone, I'll just say it bluntly, I asked Zilin to invite you here today, just to borrow food! ”

After finishing speaking, Chao Lu put the empty wine jar at his feet, raised his right foot and stepped on the edge of the altar, and directly grabbed a pigeon egg, put it in his mouth and chewed loudly. While eating rudely, he stared at the four elders of the Li family with gloomy eyes, forcing them to express their positions immediately.

Just a jar of rice wine in his stomach, Chaolu, who was at a loss, seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person. The barbarism he suddenly displayed also completely defeated the civilized environment carefully created by the four elders of the Li family.

Now the party with a difficult face has become the four new elders of the Li family. couldn't stand the aggressive gaze, so they could only hit the idea on Li Zilin, who was in the middle.

"King Dongyou, look at this ......"

"Great Elder, today Zilin has already spoken first, only to entertain guests, and not to participate in any "business"; Please also ask the four elders to understand Zilin's difficulties. ”

The four elders couldn't ask for help, and they didn't dare to meet Chaolu's aggressive gaze, so they had to look around at the furnishings and arrangements of the Invitation Moon Tower, and no one dared to speak first. Sardi wiped his mouth, got up and gave a few words to the young man who was waiting at the top of the stairs; After driving the other party down the second floor, she walked back and said to the four elders of the Li family:

"Brothers, don't blame, Mobei men are like this, his personality is a little reckless, and his speech is not so good. You may not have understood what the Great Khan said just now. Our husband and wife and Zilin brothers swore an oath to kill horses, and I think everyone knows it. As long as our Shenshi Alliance is in one day, this Eastern Secluded Road will always be the fiefdom of the Zilin brothers. That's why today we will come to "borrow" food, instead of snatching it by force. If it weren't for the fear of Zilin's embarrassment, we wouldn't have only brought five hundred guards to the Great Wilderness City! ”
