Chapter 24 Foodie expert Bo Yuanjun

Boyuanjun's real name is Ji Feng, "Boyuan" is Ji Feng's fiefdom, and Jun is a title, so he is called Boyuanjun.

It is said that he is the third brother of Liang Tianzi, not to mention the king, it is okay to be a marquis. But the problem is that the feudal marquis has to stay in the capital honestly, because the private soldiers that the feudal marquis can keep are very different from the private soldiers that the feudal monarch can keep.

Obviously, people like Bo Yuanjun can't hold back their loneliness, and they have to suffocate to death if they stay in one place. Therefore, although Bo Yuanjun is a feudal monarch, he enjoys the treatment of a marquis, which is rare in other countries.

Not only that, this Ji Feng is a well-known travel expert in the Central Plains, and he has to go out for a walk every once in a while. This time I came to Jinguo, to a large extent, it was also for him to come out to let out the wind, but I didn't expect this person to be delicious, and he smelled the meat to save himself and came to the door.

After a while, Dongpo meat was served, and a whole large casserole was lifted, and the lid was lifted, and it was ...... The smell of meat was overflowing, and he saw Bo Yuanjun's eyes shining like lightning, and he estimated that if no one stopped him, he could plunge into the casserole:

"Exactly, that's exactly what it smells." Picking up the chopsticks, Bo Yuanjun moved his ten fingers and was about to start, it was estimated that he was embarrassed to grab people's beauty, so he looked at Baili Yan again and said: "Yan Gongzi, I'll ...... waiting."

"It's okay, Boyuanjun can taste it."

"Thank you very much!"

said that it was thank you, Bo Yuanjun picked up a piece of Dongpo meat, and his head was already pressed into the wooden bowl, and he devoured it. After eating two bites, I don't forget to praise two sentences, and the happiness coloring on my face is happiness from the heart.

"Ah...... The beauty of this meat is probably unmatched by the stew of the son. ”

"Since Bo Yuanjun likes it, just enjoy it."

"In that case, this gentleman is not welcome."

You're welcome, but this one really doesn't mean polite.

At the same time, Baili Yanxu and Wei Snake ate a few bites of rice, quietly observing this product, in order to eat it so hard, maybe in the future, it will be able to sell the country in order to eat.

After about two cups of tea, this Bo Yuanjun devoured and ate ugly, almost swept away a casserole of Dongpo meat, and couldn't wait to drink up the soup base.

"Young Master Yan, you know what this meat is called."

"The name of this meat is Dongpo meat."

"Dongpo meat? Why is the name Dongpo two words. ”

"Uh...... This ......" Bailiyan was speechless for a while, and then said with an idea: "This meat is from the east of the mountain slope, so it is called the east slope." ”

"Oh, I see. Before Yan Gongziyun, this meat was cooked by Gongzi, I don't know if Gongzi can grant this method of stew. ”

This one is really brazen, he ate my meat, and asked me how to make meat. Don't agree, people are on the rise, pouring a basin of cold water is not the way of life. Thinking of this, Baili Yan said:

"Since Bo Yuanjun likes it, it is not difficult to make this meat."

"That being the case, Yan Gongzi is not good at cooking."

As soon as Ji Feng said it, Baili Yan was taken aback, it was obvious that this product was not brainless, but shameless. took away the Dongpo meat, and then asked the bottom of the matter, this is not an inch, what is it.

Seeing that Baili Yan was silent, Bo Yuanjun smiled and said:

"Could it be that Yan Gongzi is short of gold and silver, if so, he will be willing to spend 100 inches of silver, what does Gongzi think."

With a wave of his hand, it is a hundred inches of silver, and it is indeed rich flowing oil. But Bailiyan gave back:

"There is no shortage of gold and silver in this mansion, but this is a great drought and food shortage, and this Dongpo meat was originally prepared for entertaining his fiancΓ©e tonight, and it was used by Bo Yuanjun. If Bo Yuanjun is like this every day, he comes to my house to eat and drink, and it is such a big fish and meat feast, and it is spread out, I am afraid that there will be a reputation for hurting this, and I hope Bo Yuanjun will forgive me. ”

At present, there is a food shortage, pork is also omnivorous and a small amount of grain is fed, the people can't even drink porridge now, the ministers of the Jin Dynasty drink porridge, I also accompany you Boyuan Jun every day to eat meat, and you are so massive, it is estimated that you have to eat meat three times a day, although I can't eat poor, but this reputation spreads, I Bailiyan still have to eat mixed rice.

People drink gruel, I eat meat three times a day, what do people think.

Today's Dongpo meat was originally prepared for Wang Rui in the evening, but he never wanted to be eaten by Bo Yuanjun. Wang Rui was burdened by his father Wang Shuochengfu Sima Yi's job, and almost all of his meals were dry porridge, and Bailiyan was not included in the diet because he was a foreigner, so Wang Rui was able to go to his place every day to eat.

When I ran into Bo Yuanjun, where did I put Bailiyan, King Jin couldn't find an excuse to punish him, didn't this make me hit the muzzle.

However, knowing that Bailiyan refused, Ji Feng didn't seem to intend to buy it:

"When I came down, I heard that Yan Gongzi was only sixteen years old, and he learned a good hand in medicine, and he had a reputation for practicing medicine and treating diseases for many years. But there is a thing, I don't know if Yan Gongzi can think about it. ”

Ji Feng is so mysterious, and Bailiyan is also tending to follow suit:

"Bo Yuanjun, please speak."

"I heard that King Qi Bailigui is in slightly ill health, and I am afraid that time is running out, and there is no suspense about Gongzi Lu's succession. But Gongzi should know that if there is no title from my Liang State, even if Gongzi is the king, it is not right. ”

"Oh......"

Baili Yan faintly sniffed out a meaning, it was obvious that Ji Feng was dissatisfied with King Qi's Baili Gui in his words, which meant that Liang Guo did borrow grain from Qi Guo, but the result was not satisfied. In this way, if Baililu succeeds to the throne in the future, if the Liang State does not recognize it, the legitimacy of Baililu's throne is difficult to guarantee.

Especially small countries, if they are not covered by big countries, they must also have a good relationship with Liang and let Liang recognize the succession. Whether it is recognized by a great power or recognized by the emperor of Liang Guo, it is theoretically justified.

Bo Yuanjun is nothing more than hinting to himself that if he gives him good food and drink, he may consider saying a few kind words in front of Liang Tianzi Ji Guang, denying the legitimacy of Baililu's throne, and instead admitting that he is the heir to the throne.

In this way, it can not only cater to the mentality of Jin Guo, but also make yourself compliant.

Obviously, it is very likely that the Jin State will not borrow grain at the moment, so Ji Feng urgently needs a political bargaining chip, that is, to give the Jin State a legitimate and reasonable excuse to interfere in the country. If the appetite of the Jin Kingdom is satisfied, it is really possible to lend Ji Feng food.

At the same time, Ji Feng also took it for granted that he, a young man of fifteen or sixteen, was not mentally mature enough and easy to deceive, so he made food for him by helping himself as the king, and letting himself compromise with the overall interests of the country.

I have to say that although Ji Feng is not very talented, for the sake of a bite to eat, he can sharpen his head so quickly for quick success, which can also be seen that Ji Feng has a city government, but his mind is not on national politics.

After thinking about it, Bai Liyan weighed and decided to compromise, but did not accept Ji Feng's conditions. Obviously, if the Liang State did not recognize the successor to the throne of Qi, it would be tantamount to acquiescing to the attack of the countries on the Qi State, which was obviously what Bailiyan did not want to see.

Thinking of this, Baili Yan said:

"It's just a delicacy, why should Boyuanjun bother with it."

"Hehaha...... So, did Yan Gongzi agree? That's good, I'll come tomorrow, and I'll ask Yan Gongzi to cook well, don't let me down. ”

Bo Yuanjun came and went calmly, and his exaggerated personality was surprising.

Obviously, in order to eat, this person can actually threaten with military affairs, obviously this person is not only due to his character, but also has his own means and strategies.

When Bo Yuanjun was sent away, Bailiyan thought that Dongpo meat could not be eaten, so he could only find another way. At the same time, He Kuan returned to the mansion before dark.

"Qi Qi Shizi, the old man traveled all over the city's markets and grain, the price of grain fell by 20%, the price of salt in the government fell by 30%, but the price of cloth and livestock rose by more than 60% to 20%, and there is a trend of rising more and more fierce."

"Oh, the price of grain and salt has fallen, and the price of meat and cloth has risen, could it be that the Jin Kingdom is trying to start a war?"

He Kuan was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked Bai Liyan:

"How can the son of the world see it?"

"Uncle He, you see, the price of grain and salt is related to the livelihood of the people, if the price of grain is too high, and then there is another war, it will inevitably lead to the livelihood of the people in the country. Most of the livestock are omnivorous, supplemented by a small amount of rice grain, but they still need food to feed the livestock, so if the price of meat falls, it is not normal, because the grain is decreasing, and it is common sense that the price of meat will rise.

Now that the price of grain has fallen, it is not much, but the price of meat has risen rapidly, and it can only be said that the Jin army is stockpiling cured meat, salted meat and livestock, resulting in a scarcity of livestock in the livestock market. This not only reduced the loss of livestock food, but also increased the supply of meat for the Jin army, which must have been a sign before the start of the war. ”

At present, the productivity is low, the agricultural efficiency is not high, the whole is still in the late bronze period, the transition of the early iron tool, the yield per mu of grain is not high, and pigs and poultry need to consume a certain amount of grain, in addition to the forage, the well-fed war horse to quickly recover physical strength and fat, also need some concentrate feed, so the price of livestock is linked to the price of grain.

At present, the food source of the princes of various countries is relatively single, and rice is the main food crop, but wheat has been widely popularized, unlike Chinese wheat from the ancient Persian Plateau, and the early popularity rate is not high.

The current Central Plains region is the origin of wheat, so the light cake made of coarse flour ground from wheat, and other forms of flour products are also staple foods.

During the war, the state of marching was to have two meals a day or even one meal, and the soldiers had other pasta rations to carry with the march, which was convenient for the march to satisfy hunger. The frequency of eating meat in the garrison state increases, and before the battle and the victory, eating meat is the greatest reward, which can boost morale. So if the price of meat soars, it means that the army is stockpiling cured meat and live livestock.

The slight drop in grain is a measure to stabilize the domestic situation in the Jin State, preventing foreign wars and at the same time, high grain prices will cause internal changes.

Listening to Bailiyan's detailed explanation, He Kuan suddenly thought:

"Shizi, when the old man returned home, he happened to see the edict of the king, and the whole city recruited Langzhong, could it be that he was also preparing for the army."

"I'm afraid so. After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic, and the Jin State recruited Langzhong at this time, obviously to eliminate the epidemic after the disaster, but in fact it is ready to go. Uncle He, I think we should prepare to flee as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the opportunity is between this month and two. ”

"No, the old man will contact Zhang Envoy."

Bai Liyan thought that if the Jin State raised troops, it would inevitably be tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and it would be possible for him to escape, so he had to prepare early, in case there was a gap, he would go out of Pingtang City and hide in the mountains first, no one would be able to catch him, and then find a way to make a living, which was better than wearing the big hat of a prince of the country.

So a few days later, Bai Liyan began to plan how to escape from Pingtang City.

At the same time, Bo Yuanjun has to come to the door almost every day to eat and drink, as little as one meal, and as much as three meals a day. Of course, this is not to blame Bo Yuanjun, only to blame Bailiyan for having a lot of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea at home, and the various braised dishes cooked in soy sauce alone have whetted Bo Yuanjun's appetite.

But after waiting for a few days, the news that Baili Yan invited Bo Yuanjun to a banquet day and night reached the ears of the King of Jin, and the King of Jin summoned Fan Tao, the concubine, in the Jingluo Palace.
