Chapter 142: Jinan, a famous city in the north

Seeing so many things, the team members were very happy, and Zhao Guohua was very grateful for such a heavy gift, he thought: "Liu Bingwen and others are so good at being people, no matter what, I must help them, and we must not let them die in Jinan." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Looking at the neat and solemn loyal team outside the city, Zhang Bingwen nodded secretly, it is really a strong army, no wonder it can defeat the Tartar attacks in Zhuozhou many times, and no wonder it can overpower Liu Zeqing.

Set up camp outside the city, arrange for Cheng Chong and Lu Qing to be optimistic about the camp, and Zhao Guohua took Zhang Shun and Niu Huan to follow Zhang Bingwen and others into Jinan City on horseback

When I entered the city, I saw that there were shops on both sides of the street, and the crowd was shoulder to shoulder, and the river was endless, showing the style of the big city.

"Selling Ejiao, the real Dong'e Ejiao, women eat blood tonic, and men eat qi tonic." ……

"I bought it, Longshan millet, the seeds are full, the golden butter is moist, the sex is sticky and fragrant, don't miss it." ……

"Mingshui fragrant rice, the rice is hard, the color is transparent, the oil is moist and bright; When made into rice, it is very refreshing to eat, and the fragrance can increase the appetite and aftertaste. ”……

All kinds of cries come and go, and the market is very lively and bustling.

"It is worthy of being a famous city in the north, and under the governance of adults, it is even more prosperous and rich." Zhao Guohua patted Zhang Bingwen's ass slightly.

Zhang Bingwen happily stroked his beard and said: "General Zhao has won the award, and he has won the award."

He entered the yamen of the political envoy, sat down, and offered fragrant tea. Zhang Bingwen took a sip and said with a smile: "General Zhao, your loyal and brave team is a strong army, if Jinan City has such a strong army stationed, this official will be at ease." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua smiled and said: "My lord has won the award, my loyal team is still far from a strong army, and it can only be said to be a basically decent team at present." ”

"You can fight the Tartars, and you still say that it is not a strong army, General Zhao is really too modest......" Song Xuezhu said with a smile.

After taking a sip of fragrant tea, Zhang Bingwen asked, "General Zhao, after we left, then Liu Zeqing didn't trouble you." ”

"Looked. Two of his subordinates, called Ma Huabao and Zhang Siyi, led 2,000 troops to attack us, but they were killed on the spot by our army, and the rest of them dispersed. Zhao Guohua said in a relaxed tone.

"Ahh Zhang Bingwen exclaimed.

He knew that these two people were the two fierce gods in Liu Zeqing's army, with strong martial arts, fierce temperament, and countless killings, but they were easily cleaned up by the loyal team.

Zhang Shun said: "What are these two people, they are the Tartar camp, and we have also killed one in and out." ”

"Well done. Killing these two people is equivalent to breaking one of Liu Zeqing's legs, and we will see how arrogant he is in the future. Saying that, Song Xuezhu laughed.

At this time, a subordinate walked in, bowed down and said, "Lord Zhang, the banquet of the "Jiaweiju" restaurant is ready, please go and sit down." ”

"General Zhao, take a walk and taste the delicacies of our Jinan." Zhang Bingwen said enthusiastically.

Zhao Guohua drank a stomach of tea, also felt hungry, and was not polite, smiled and walked out of the political envoy's yamen with Zhang Shunniuhuan and others, accompanied by Zhang Bingwen and Song Xuezhu, and went to the "Jiaweiju" restaurant together.

After walking through two streets and coming to a crossroads, I saw a three-storey wine shop, and the three big characters of "Jiaweiju" can be seen from afar.

The door is full of traffic, the flow of people is endless, and it is very lively.

The restaurant is the most famous wine shop in Jinan, the dishes are excellent, and all people who have a certain status and status in Jinan have to go there.

At this time, a lot of people have gathered at the door of the restaurant, and the military and political officials of Jinan are on both sides of the gate, including the prefect of Jinan, the envoy of Shandong, the secretary of Shandong, Ni Pet, etc., and there are many local squires and celebrities behind them.

took Zhao Guohua and others to the door of the restaurant, pointed at Zhao Guohua, Zhang Bingwen said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, this is General Zhao Guohua, the commander of the loyal and brave corps in Zhuozhou and the Tartars, we all welcome." As he spoke, Zhang Bingwen and Song Xuezhu took the lead in applauding.

Zhao Guohua smiled in the applause of "Papapa", and greeted the crowd on both sides as he walked: "Jinan is a famous city in the north, and it is my honor to be here as a guest, thank you, thank you." ”

Shandong Acting Du Si Ni Pet looked at Zhao Guohua, his eyes gurgling

He couldn't think of how a militia group fought the Tartars in Zhuozhou, in his mind, it was the imperial court border army, and the elite such as the Guanning army was also defeated and won less in the face of the Tartars, why this militia could actually defeat the Tartars, he really couldn't think of the reason.

Entering the restaurant, sitting in the chief, the wine and food began to be arranged, and soon the table was filled.

Zhang Bingwen pointed to a plate of fragrant sweet and sour fish and said: "General Zhao, this is the most famous dish in our Jinan - sweet and sour Yellow River carp, this fish grows in the deep water of the Yellow River, the head and tail are golden, the whole body is bright, the meat is fat and tender, it is a good product at the banquet." ”

"Jinan Mansion Chronicles" has long been recorded as "the carp of the Yellow River, the crab of Nanyang, and into the recipe". It is said that "sweet and sour Yellow River carp" first began in Luokou Town, an important town on the Yellow River. Later, it was transmitted to Jinan. When the chef makes it, he first cuts the body of the fish with a knife pattern, wraps it in paste, deep-fries it, and then uses the famous Luokou old vinegar and sugar to make a sweet and sour sauce, which is poured on the fish. This dish is fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and a little sour, and the taste is wonderful.

Zhao Guohua likes to eat sweet and sour fish the most, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but put a piece in his mouth, which melted in his mouth and was fragrant through his teeth and cheeks.

He couldn't help but praise repeatedly; "It's really a delicacy in the world, and it's rare to eat."

With a smug smile, Zhang Bingwen pointed to a roasted whole sheep and said: "General Zhao, this dish is called Shiduo Roasted Whole Sheep, which is a famous dish in Jinan. ”

"This dish is called Huangjia barbecue, Huangjia barbecue originated in Zhangqiu, with pork as the main ingredient, secret ingredients, smoked and roasted with fruit branches, and the taste is slightly salty. There are two kinds of Huangjia barbecue, lean meat and pork belly (with pork skin), the pork belly is fat but not greasy, and the pork skin is crispy and delicious. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a pot of white soup and said: "This is milk soup Pu Cai, which is made of a fresh and tender texture and fresh taste of Pu Cai produced in Daming Lake in Jinan, and is cooked with milk soup, which has always been known as the first soup dish in Jinan." ”

Then Zhang Bingwen introduced the exquisite craftsmanship and unique flavor of the fried chicken every day, Quancheng big buns, etc., this meal of wine and food, everyone smiled and enjoyed the guests.

When Zhao Guohua went back, he was sent back by Zhang Bingwen. He was already drunk.

At night in the capital division, the night was dark, and a bright moon was half-hidden and half-appeared in the clouds, and the first assistant was Wen Tiren's mansion.

In an exquisite study, he was reading a few letters from Xuan Dalai.

Some of these letters were written by local governors, and some were written by generals in the army, including Wang Zhong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, who also wrote letters, and the meaning of the letters all accused Lu Xiangsheng of cleaning up the tuntian, rectifying the army, attacking colleagues, excluding dissidents, and mutilating the Jin gentry, and hoped that Lord Shoufu would come forward to stop Lu Xiangsheng's actions.

After reading it, Wen Tiren complained to the housekeeper Wen Liangzhong with a gloomy face: "Alas, these people, they really don't look at the limelight, the Tartar arson army is raging in Gyeonggi, and countless county towns are in ruins and dilapidated, this is all caused by Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, His Majesty chose Lu Xiangsheng to be the governor of Xuanda, just to reverse the situation that Xuanda has no borders, at this time, let me stop Lu Xiangsheng's moves, doesn't this make me angry?" ”

"Master, but you can't ignore it, these people who come to us send money every year." The housekeeper Wen Liangzhong said.

Wen Tiren knew that what Wen Liangzhong said was the truth.

These people, the silver they send in every year, the less is 20,000 or 30,000 taels, and the more is 60,000 or 70,000 taels.

But he was a little worried, afraid that people would grab the pigtails, because he heard that the emperor was ready to introduce Zhou Tingru to replace him, but this was just heard, but there was no wind and no waves, and he didn't want to be ousted because of this matter.

After thinking about it, he still decided to write a letter to Lu Xiangsheng, asking him to raise his hand to some people in the name of concern.

After writing the letter, sealing it, Wen Tiren said: "You send someone to Xuanda to find Master Lu, give him this letter, and convey my greetings." In addition, I brought another 10,000 taels of silver as my support for Xuanda. ”

"Yes. Master. The old slave will do it. Wen Liangzhong agreed, bowed and retreated.

Yanghe Xuanda Governor's Mansion, although the night is deep, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin are still discussing the rectification of Xuanda.

After taking office as the governor of Xuanda, Lu Xiangsheng found that Xuanda was a complete mess.

The side wall is damaged in many places, the guards are weak, the officers only care about drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating empty salaries, a large number of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death occupy important positions, the soldiers are not clothed and hungry, but the officers are singing, dancing and feasting, in order to have something to eat, the wives and daughters of the sergeants sell their careers, Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, Shanxi Town, there are beggars everywhere, and among these beggars, half of them are the families of the soldiers of the three towns.

"My lord, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuanda are still waiting for you to help them, you have to pay attention to your body." Yang Tinglin persuaded. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's busyness day and night, Yang Tinglin was moved and distressed.

Smiled indifferently, Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's okay, my health is fine, besides, I'm also used to the life of marching and fighting, and it's uncomfortable to be idle." As he spoke, he took a sip of the cold tea on the table.

"My lord, let's change the hot one." Yang Tinglin said

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, and Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, have handed over the illegally occupied military land under their names, and now only Wang Zhong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, is still holding on, and the more than 10,000 mu of military land illegally occupied under his name has only been handed over more than 1,000 mu, is there such a cheap thing?" ”

Speaking of this, he slapped the table with a "snap".
