Chapter 273: Xu Tian's Manor (II)
"It's... It's the legendary... Appetizer? ”
Pang Tong felt that his mouth was dry, and his stomach turned over for a while.
He regretted it so much that he had to drink so much.
Wei Yan's hand holding the wine jar trembled a little, and he almost didn't catch the wine jar.
Only Xu Tian's performance was very normal, still smiling at the few women standing in the room.
On the table in front of the three of them, there were several large plates of black things.
In one of the bronze plates was a few large pieces of meat.
Of course, it's just a coke, more like meat.
The plate close to Wei Yan was the scrambled eggs with leeks that he was familiar with.
He wanted to know who had such a great ability to make egg batter, and the leeks were still raw!
"Strategist... I wonder, how many jars can you drink now? ”
Wei Yan swallowed his saliva, slowly turned his head to look at Pang Tong with a strange face and said.
"I want to quit drinking," Pang Tong replied with some difficulty.
Several women who were in high spirits saw the performance of the two of them, and they instantly wilted, and their expressions were a little flustered.
Although Xu Tian said that in this manor, there is no need to deliberately care about dignity and humility, you can be like a family.
However, looking at the performance of these two people now, it is clear that they are thinking of finding their own swords.
Xu Tian looked at the uncomfortable two, smiled, pointed to one of the black things on the table, and said softly.
"It's not very bad, look at this, at least this plate, you can see that it's greens!"
As he spoke, Xu Tian picked up the chopsticks on the side, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, he picked one up, threw it directly into his mouth, and chewed it.
Wei Yan's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were staring at Xu Tian tightly.
With every chewing of Xu Tian, the corners of his mouth trembled.
"Who did this?" Xu Tian's expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
The women took a closer look, then turned their gaze to one of them, and slowly backed away, leaving her alone.
I saw a woman wearing a pale red linen shirt with an extremely nervous face, holding the corners of her clothes and bowing her head silently.
Xu Tian's eyes also fell on this woman, faintly, her body trembled a little.
"Come forward!" Xu Tian said softly.
The woman was so nervous that she tried hard to move her pace, but tried several times but did not succeed.
"What's your name?" Xu Tian didn't care that the other party didn't step forward, and continued to speak.
"Show... Xiuyun..."The woman still lowered her head, and her fingers holding the corners of her clothes were a little white.
Glancing at the other party's fingers, Xu Tian narrowed his eyes.
This woman doesn't look very fat, but her waist is not small, and she looks weird.
However, Xu Tian only paused for a moment, and he didn't care.
"Xiuyun? Good! From now on, you will be responsible for the food of all the people in the manor!
This green vegetable you made is good, keep up the good work! ”
After speaking, Xu Tian took another green vegetable and put it in his mouth amid the even more shocked eyes around him.
The moment Xiuyun finished speaking, Xiuyun raised his head violently, and his body looked at Xu Tian even more tremblingly.
"Son-of-your-" may be too nervous, and she was praised by Xu Tian and excited, under the two emotions, she could hardly even speak.
"Alright, you guys go!" Xu Tian smiled and waved at the women.
The people who had been pardoned hurriedly bowed to Xu Tian and the three of them, and left quickly.
And the woman named Xiuyun was almost carried out by everyone.
It wasn't until everyone left that Xu Tian's face suddenly changed, and he desperately spit out the vegetables in his mouth.
picked up the wine bowl on the side again, and drank it directly with his head up, before he gasped and calmed down.
From beginning to end, neither Pang Tong nor Wei Yan said a word.
It's not that they don't want to say it, it's that Xu Tian was so shocked that they couldn't speak.
"The king is..."Wei Yan's expression was a little embarrassed, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"I understand the king's intentions, the king doesn't want to hurt their confidence, and wants them to continue to cook independently.
But in this way, I don't understand even more, why did the king let these people learn to cook this kind of dish? ”
"People take food as their life, and people's pursuit of food is endless.
If everyone can eat such a meal today, how can the world not be peaceful? ”
Xu Tian cleared his throat and said slowly.
"That's a good word, but how is that possible? Take this scrambled egg with leek, even if everyone knows it, how can there be so many eggs to scramble for them?
Not to mention the eggs, even this chicken is not much! ”
Wei Yan picked up the black leek scrambled egg in front of him with chopsticks, and said with some pain.
"That's what I want this manor for, I want all the people under my rule to have good food and good food.
Only in this way can the people truly support us! ”
Regarding Xu Tian's words, Pang Tong and the two did not express an opinion, but just nodded.
They all know that Xu Tian is very methodical, and he can often make unexpected things.
But as far as he just said, he can only listen to it.
If you want to be reasonable, many princes in the world know this truth, but what's the use of not doing it.
"Actually, there's another concern below!" Pang Tong was silent for a while and continued.
"The king is kind-hearted, and he is calm with his subordinates in ordinary times, and he does not pay much attention to dignity and humility.
But in this way, it is not easy to control the subordinates.
Don't forget, O king, that the Emperor is still with us.
I know you said you have a way to eliminate the threat of the gentry.
I have been thinking about this problem for a long time, and the scholar tree has deep roots and is not easy to pull out.
What's more, if it is torn apart today, if it gets out of control, the situation will be out of control! ”
Hearing Pang Tong's narration, Wei Yan on the side kept nodding.
He put down the wine jar in his hand and said to Xu Tian.
"This is exactly what I want to say to the king, now that the emperor is in Xiangyang, we must not be sloppy.
Take Shen Du as an example, he is now devoted to the emperor.
When the emperor learned that Cao Cao was dead, he was crazy in the palace and screamed.
This Shen Du guarded the emperor outside the main hall for a day, and he couldn't keep his soul.
I'm afraid that in the long run, there will be banners like Shen Du, the king must not be careful! ”
"Hmm!" After Xu Tian listened, he nodded, looked at the two and said.
"I know all this, the world has become accustomed to the existence of scholars.
Although they hate them very much, that deep-rooted thinking cannot be eliminated in a while.
Therefore, books and schools must be done as soon as possible.
What was delayed by the war before, we must do it as soon as possible! ”
Xu Tian picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all again...
