In the western border of Yan Kingdom, in the eastern suburbs of Taihang, the solid city that had been depressed for more than ten years regained its prosperity, and the business travelers were full of joy and drove the convoy through the Taihang Mountains, and walked most of the distance in the Yan Kingdom of Jin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOriginally, the merchants of the Jin Kingdom didn't believe that there was such a shortcut, but when they walked to Gucheng and saw the familiar Rujia Tavern, they fell into a worried heart.

Business travel is like water, once it flows through Gucheng, the ancient trade road of Yanjin that has withered for a long time will be revitalized. In the homeinn on Ya Street in Gucheng County, a fat man with a big belly sat on the main seat and held a pig's trotter in one hand and nibbled wildly, holding chopsticks in the other hand and tasting the dishes in front of him from time to time.

"Mr. Wei, what do you think of this dish?"

"Well~~, the entrance is numb, and then it is spicy, and it is fragrant when it enters the abdomen. However, the dish you made is still a little fragrant, and next time you boil the soup and pour it. But overall, your spicy tofu has been seventy percent hot with Brother Zhao, second only to the comfortable Xiaolan girl. ”

The four big girls of Meilan Zhuju, with the expansion of Zhao Zheng's family business, have long been in charge of one side, and the chef came to the Gucheng branch after training in Yixian. Xiaolan's craftsmanship is the best in Yi County, and it is a big praise to be second only to her.

"Little Mr. Xie's name is correct."

Wei Dingshi squinted and smiled, waved his hand to let him step back, and continued to fight with the big elbow in his hand. The shopkeeper took out a silver medal and hung it on the chef's neck.

This is the new store rules of Homeinns, after Anyiju and Homeinns are jointly operated, all families with a bit of identity in Yixian County will send their own cooks to learn. After coming and going, Xiaozhu presided over a training class to recruit apprentices from good families, and those who excelled could be appointed as chefs in each branch.

Homeinn cuisine is unique in the world, and the guests taste fresh, but no one can say why, until the arrival of "foodie" Wei Ding Food.

The last time he met Homeinn, he stayed for a month to taste all the homelike dishes, and when he left, he bought more than 100 dishes from Zhao Zheng and bid 10,000 gold. Zhao Zhengyi was happy and gave him five jars of soybean oil, and he took it home to entertain a few friends, and learned the recipe on the menu to make four meat and four vegetables.

A good dish is a good intention, and it is also a home away from home to push a cup and change a lamp, but one of the businessmen's friends sees a business opportunity here. Qilu Jianghuai is far away from Yanguo, and has never tasted the taste of soybean oil.

Helplessly, the soybean oil brewing method has always been regarded as a treasure by Zhao Zheng, except for a few high-level officials of the Zhao family and the Zheng family, not a word has been passed out. Therefore, Wei Dingshi came to Yixian again after staying at home for two months, wanting to negotiate with Zhao Zheng about business.

Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived in Yixian, I heard that Zhao Zhengbei went to King Qin, and the lost Wei Ding turned his grief and anger into appetite.

A good foodie must not only be able to eat, but also be able to cook, and the chef who is praised by the royal family is useless by him. Either there is too much salt, or there is less heat, and the sharp comments are in one sentence.

Once in a review at Homeinn Main Store, he praised Xiaolan's craftsmanship to get red gold, while Xiaomei could only get silver. Everyone praised it, and the price of the dishes made by Xiaolan suddenly increased several times, and Xiaozhu, who was nurtured by Zhao Zheng, took advantage of the trend to promote gold, silver and copper grading.

Wei Ding Food also got a Supreme VIP Gold Card, with which you can eat the world for nothing. Wei Ding was puzzled, where was there food for nothing, but the friends who came with him smiled and praised Xiaozhu for doing business.

So the "foodie" Wei Ding Food was upgraded to the "God of Food" Wei Ding Food, not only Homeinns, but also other taverns and restaurants invited him to taste and evaluate. In this way, he ate all the way to Gucheng, and then there was no branch to the north, and Zhao Yong was also happy to Wei Dingshi to stay in Gucheng to help him run his business.

"Brother Duanmu, the war in Jidu has subsided, when do you say that Brother Zhao will come back, these days Zhao Yong always asks me to help him train his cooks, and I am almost annoyed to death."

Duanmuguo took a sip of tea slowly, and said with a smile: "The taste is bitter at first, and then the aftertaste is sweet." First bitterness and then sweetness coincide with my Confucian character, no wonder the second senior brother is so respectful, and now the daily drink of Xiaoshengxianzhuang has become tea. ”

"The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, so you are not in a hurry, and you are not afraid that Brother Zhao will sell the secret recipe of soybean oil to others?"

"How can things that rejuvenate and destroy the country be easily handed over to others, I am not afraid."

Wei Ding glanced blankly, lowered his head and continued to be in a daze. The words are foggy, making people seem to understand whether they understand or not, Confucian disciples just like to engage in these tricks, isn't it just that squeezing oil from beans will involve the rise and fall of the family and country.

They were waiting here, and Zhao Zheng also embarked on the return journey, but there was still a team in front of him, led by a few horsemen with a depressed face, but every time they looked up, their faces were hideous.

"Big brother, there is Gucheng in front, and now there are more than 1,000 people guarding it, and there are more than 1,000 people surrounding it under the big flat roof. According to the eyeliner we left at the bottom of the mountain, the sixth child was surrounded for two or three months, and the grass on the mountain was half bald. ”

"him, when did a certain family suffer such filth and filth, although the brethren were tossed in pieces by the Hu people in Daijun. However, the remaining few thousand brothers are more than enough to deal with a mere 2,000 officers and soldiers, and the order is to go down and advance at full speed, and we will have dinner in the city tonight. ”

Ma Laoba stood in the middle of the line and shouted: "The brothers have received Hu popularity in Daijun, and it just so happens that the Gucheng in front of them has been raised as a fat sheep, and it is just right to make up for our brothers." ”

There was silence for a while.

"Rob him, him."

The horse bandits, who were still demoralized just now, instantly shouted with blood, brandished the sword that was broken in his hand, and looked at the faint solid city in the distance.

"Okay, you don't have to hand over the things you robbed, whoever robs them belongs to whom."

The horse boss's hideous face smiled even more terrifyingly, and he was sitting on the horse and waving his sword to the south, and the horse bandits suddenly swarmed up, and even a few who walked slowly were pushed down by the people behind, but in a moment they merged with the earth.

"There's a big group of people coming from afar."

On a sentry tower on the city wall, the sentry looked through a large cylinder and said, Tian Shimu was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly climbed up to observe.

This object is one in hundreds of pieces of the earth, and it is clearer and more convenient, but in the winter, Zhao Zheng came up with a game on a whim, inspiring the carpenter to build a mirror that magnified the object. He bought more than a dozen crystals without telling Zhao Zheng to ponder, and accidentally hit a few mirrors and made them concave, and later Zhao Zheng found that there were thousands of taels of gold shorted in the account, only to know that the carpenter was studying the magnifying glass, and he also made a concave mirror, which was simply combined into a telescope.

However, the focal length is not easy to adjust, and there is no such good polishing technology at this time, this telescope looks vague and can barely be used for military purposes.

Tian Shimu looked at it for a long time, his eyes didn't blink, and the soldiers and horses in the distance rushed to Sanwuli, the banner was not the People's Army, and he had never seen the person who led him. However, from the equipment, he recognized that the horse bandits on the big flat top were also equipped with this kind of equipment.

"Close the city gates, horse bandits are coming."

The soldiers hurriedly closed the gate, but fortunately there were few pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate as it was close to dusk.

"Bang Dang"

The gate was closed, the wooden bridge over the moat was also pulled up, and the horse bandits also rushed in front of them, ragged but murderous, looking at the Protectors on the city wall as if they were staring at the fat sheep.

"There are 3,000 enemies, and there are only 500 soldiers and horses in the city.

Blockade Dapingding, guarding the Yanjin trade road, 2,000 people were divided into two parts, Tian Shimu and He Miao were unified in each department. Every month, the two sides will exchange 500 men and horses to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but yesterday the soldiers defending the city had just left Xunbao to change the defense, and the replaced men and horses had not yet arrived.

Five hundred against three thousand, new pawns against old bandits, Tian Shimu did not have much confidence, but he watched Gucheng develop from desolation to the current prosperity, and the rare comfort could not be touched by others.

"Bang"

Tian Shimu smashed down the city wall, and the rammed earth shook him numbly, and he said with this strength: "Defend the city, and use Zhao's flying pigeon to pass on He Miao, let him quickly send troops to support, I want to completely eliminate this horse bandit." ”

And Zhao Zheng is only one day away from Gucheng.
