Just when these local buns were amazed by these sumptuous cold dishes, the door of the VIP room opened again, and five people carried five plates, each plate was placed with a few bowls of liquor, this is the most famous Moutai liquor in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Lin put enough money for this banquet.

Moutai liquor is mainly made of wheat koji, fermented eight times, and stored for two or three years before leaving the factory. Its unique sensory indicators are: colorless and transparent, mellow and sweet when drinking, no suspended matter and precipitation, outstanding aroma, elegant and delicate, mellow body, long aftertaste, long-lasting fragrance in the empty cup, and long-lasting. As soon as Moutai was served, it first gave people an inexplicable excitement, and then the strange fragrance overflowed the room, and the strange fragrance was shocked. After smelling the incense, then swing the incense into the cup, look at its color, yellowish and transparent, pure and no precipitation. Raise your glass and shake it gently against the sun or moonlight, and you can see thin hops growing along the glass and then disappearing. Some people summarize it as a four-step process, such as opening the seal to test its truth, swinging the fragrance to see its color, smacking the fragrance and tasting its taste, and smelling its fragrance in an empty cup.

These home-made bun guests had never seen such delicious food and such mellow wine. Now their eyes are no longer staring at Yang Lin, they are all staring at the food, wine, and even looking at the neighbors next to them with hostility, there is a big idea that I have everything, as for what temperament, demeanor, identity, it has become bullshit.

Yang Lin looked at these drooling guys, knew that his initial goal had been achieved, and he no longer hung the appetite of these people, but just shouted: "Let's eat." ”

The stormy banquet began, the cold dishes were definitely not enough to eat, and then the more delicious hot dishes began, mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, spicy chicken, boiled pork slices, Dongbo elbow, dry fried shredded pork, sweet and sour carp and other 20 authentic Chinese famous food, look at these colorful and fragrant feasts, these dumplings are straight, regardless of the eyes of others looking at themselves, one by one holding chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives and other mixed tableware of the East and the West, eating with a mouth full of oilSweated.

According to Yang Lin's instructions, these invited guests were divided into two tables, because people of different faiths had different eating habits, but these businessmen who were used to traveling all over the world did not care much about these taboos, otherwise they would sometimes have to starve to death. Soon the people at the two big tables began to move around each other, just like in the wine party in later generations in China, you toast me, I accompany him to drink a bowl like that, and everyone became very excited.

The first few jars of Moutai were definitely not enough, and as soon as Yang Lin waved his hand, the attendants immediately brought out a few more jars. The high number of Moutai liquor is very tasteful, especially after many years of aging, but these guys drank it one by one, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

At the banquet* time, Yang Lin instructed the cooks to carry a tender little fat sheep up. Originally, roast fat sheep is the favorite of nomads, and their level of roast sheep is also very high, but they do not have a complete set of seasonings, especially those spices produced from Africa, Southeast Asia and other places, even if they occasionally get some, they are not willing to take it out and share, and they are not willing to use it in large quantities, just a little taste. Yang Lin prepared all kinds of spices very sufficiently, and took out the recipes of the best chefs in the capital, so the taste of this roast sheep was a hundred times better than the taste they made. The banquet was in full swing, the host and guest were happy, and everyone called each other brothers, giving full play to the style and habits of Chinese food, so that the people who were still a little restrained at the beginning, and even vigilant people completely lost their vigilance.

At this time, the calm Yang Lin began to have a chance to observe the expressions of these guests. Those people in Northern Europe are purely foodies, I can't see what they think, they are all drunk, and they are still drinking, with a foodie expression, just like pure businessmen going to a banquet, but Yang Lin doesn't dare to underestimate them at all, these people are not just ordinary leather merchants, maybe they are also commercial spies of a certain country, or even intelligence chiefs, and being good at disguise is the housekeeping skill of these people, especially the real Tsarist spies, with a higher level of disguise.

There are also a few who look like Tatars, they are still shouting at each other for wine, it seems that no one is convinced, they can't find their mouths for drinking, they are still shouting, you have a glass, I have a glass to try the amount of wine, no one is convinced, it seems that they are going to drink until the last one is counted, and there is no special performance.

A little calmer are a few people who believe in the *** religion, their canons were originally strictly forbidden to drink alcohol, but on such occasions, especially when they go out for a long time, they don't strictly abide by the canons, but they are relatively restrained, and they don't lose their temper in front of the wine, but they also drank eight or nine points, and they themselves gathered into a small group, obviously discussing their own topics.

The worst of all were the two obvious Mongols, who drank very violently at the beginning, and kept going around in circles and drinking with others, and it is estimated that they themselves did not know exactly how much they drank, until now they began to cry loudly, looking very desolate, to the point of being drunk.

Seeing that the banquet had been eaten almost right, Yang Lin asked the chefs to serve some decanting soup, so as not to have any accidents with these people. This is the businessman who has just come into contact, through the initial contact, I can't see what kind of deep background they all have, but through this banquet, you can gradually pull in the relationship with these people, and these people also have their own circle of friends, Yang Lin also needs to meet more people, find their own suitable goals, until they become collaborators.

It should be said that Yang Lin's reception was very successful, and all the people he invited were famous businessmen here. In the days that followed, such banquets were held continuously, and the guests who came were not only limited to businessmen, but also other government officials, itinerant artists, etc., and even special food planes, all came to have a meal.

With the increase in the number of banquets and the more and more people he came into contact with, Yang Lin slowly divided into several categories in the process of interacting with these people, those who could continue to interact in business, those who were politically sensitive, those who were secret spies, and those who could cooperate and fund in the future. On the surface, Yang Lin was enthusiastic about them, and secretly began to carry out his own actions, consciously displaying his special goods to the confirmed targets.

For merchants who can be completely confirmed, Yang Lin recommended to them real Ming specialties, such as fine wine, spices, soap, silk, tea, porcelain, etc. What Yang Lin brought was an authentic boutique, different from the goods sold by ordinary pack horse caravans, only in this way could he attract their attention, cover his true identity, facilitate the next step of his activities, and dispel their vigilance.

For people with political ambitions, Yang Lin constantly shows them his strong background, making them believe that he is a noble businessman with a very deep background and can provide them with anything they need. Even Yang Lin showed off to them his *, the firing rifle used by the caravan's bodyguards, and the small and delicate arm crossbow, which filled their hearts with infinite fantasies.

As for the two Mongols who cried at the first banquet, through Yang Lin's careful inquiry, they learned that they were the descendants of the authentic members of the Golden Family, and their own family had established a khanate, but they had become the glory of the past, and by their generation, they had lost their ambitions, and they no longer had the ambition of the descendants of Genghis Khan's Golden Family, and they were no longer eligible to sponsor.

Among these people, Yang Lin found a special phenomenon, there was a fairly ordinary Tatar, but this person's behavior made Yang Lin feel very special, his appearance looked more like a Mongol, but he himself always said that he was a Tatar, and compared to other merchants, he was better at communicating, the business was not large, but the circle of contacts was very extensive. When Yang Lin began to pay attention to him, he also began to express his intentions to Yang Lin, and also revealed his true identity to Yang Lin, telling a piece of past history, making Yang Lin adjust his thinking, and finally change Sun Chuanting's policy.
