Jiang Hongyuan still continued to persuade with enthusiasm: "It's all at the door of the house, how can there be any reason not to enter, if you don't sit with me, how can I put my heart down!" ”

"County Magistrate Jiang, you are really on official business, and you don't dare to stay for a long time! If I have time in the future, I will definitely meet with County Magistrate Jiang alone. ”

Jiang Hongyuan saw that he couldn't move Ji Zhenguo, so he glanced at those squires, and those squires all asked Jiang Hongyuan to accompany the guests, as if they had already discussed it a long time ago, so they came together to invite Ji Zhenguo warmly.

Lu Yijin, a businessman who specializes in making Lu Mian in Juancheng, said: "Our Juancheng is located in the middle of nowhere, and we finally hope that our army has arrived, how can we let you go like this, no matter what, we have to do our best to be a landlord." Besides, what else do I ask of you? ”

Shi Yichen, who roasted mutton in Shiji, also said: "If your army doesn't eat a meal, we can't bear it!" Shiji roast mutton, have you ever eaten it? After eating it, I'm afraid I will remember it for a lifetime. ”

Sun Yiwan, who sells mung bean balls in Zuoying, said: "The rice is ready, wouldn't it be a waste of Lang if you don't eat it, and you will also live up to the hearts of the small people!" Zuoying mung bean balls, you should also try it! As long as you eat it, you will never forget it for the rest of your life. ”

"Then the golden cicada should be eaten even more, we are all pickled, and it can't be more delicious at this time." Jin Yiming, who specializes in the business of golden cicadas, also said.

Ji Zhenguo saw that these squires led by Jiang Hongyuan were so enthusiastic, so he quietly discussed with Wang Qingyun and Wang Yi beside him: "This matter, two of you, how can it be good?" ”

Wang Qingyun said: "It seems that if you don't eat this meal, I'm afraid it will hurt your feelings." Wang Yi said: "We have to eat, but we have to be careful, we are not too familiar with the environment here, there is nothing wrong with being careful, don't fall into any trap of them." ”

Ji Zhenguo shook his head and said, "I think, they just wooed us, if it was a Hongmen banquet, they would never dare." But to be on the safe side, I only took a small number of people with me, and the large army was still stationed outside the city. ”

So, Ji Zhenguo came back and arched his hand to Jiang Hongyuan and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I will receive this meal, thank you County Magistrate Jiang and the squires for breaking the bank." ”

Jiang Hongyuan smiled and said, "If the family doesn't talk to the two families, then invite the team into the city!" ”

Ji Zhenguo shook his head and said, "It's just me, so there's no need to mobilize the people!" ”

Jiang Hongyuan also smiled, and said with a humble face: "Don't you believe me, you have to invite all the officers above you to have a meal!" In the future, your army will live in Cao County, and the buildings near the water will get the moon first, so let's get to know you first! ”

Ji Zhenguo still shook his head and said: "We have discipline, the enemy is current, we can't disturb the place casually, and we have to ask County Magistrate Jiang for more understanding." ”

"Discipline is discipline, flexibility is flexible, I still sincerely want to represent the people of Pu County to invite the soldiers to have a meal."

"When the devil is defeated, we will definitely come here again, and when the time comes, if you don't invite us, we have to let you invite, and we have to drink celebratory wine!"

Having said this, Jiang Hongyuan no longer had any curses, so he had to take Ji Zhenguo's hand and walk towards Juancheng County, telling Ji Zhenguo about the customs of these counties as he walked. When he entered the city, Ji Zhenguo brought 12 people from the guard squad with him.

Although the two people held hands, Ji Zhenguo was still quietly observing the movements of Juancheng County, and saw that the city wall of Juancheng County was one foot high, the brick and earth structure, and some places also grew some weeds, and there was a small attic on the city gate tower, due to disrepair, the tiles on the roof were incomplete, and the gate was thick with wooden planks nailed with big round nails, but if the city gate was closed, the city wall condescendingly arranged for the soldiers to defend against danger, it was also a difficult fortress.

Entering the city, it was quiet along the way, there were not a few people in the common people, and most of the shops were closed, Ji Zhenguo's heart secretly had a little hesitation, what about the people, where did they go, what about the shops, why are most of them closed, not closed, a few guys probed their heads to look out, and they didn't look like good people.

Ji Zhenguo asked Jiang Hongyuan: "Why are there so few people in the county!" The door was closed in the shop. ”

Jiang Hongyuan explained: "Knowing that you are here, for the sake of safety, no one is allowed to go out." As for the shop, I'm afraid that something will happen, so they should be closed. Commander Ji, you can rest assured, safety is still guaranteed. ”

Ji Zhenguo's heart, this matter may not be as reassuring as you say.

Jiang Hongyuan led Ji Zhenguo and his party into the Peony Hotel, Ji Zhenguo saw that the terrain of this Peony Hotel was not high, but it was surrounded by a high mansion. There are still a few rooms in this hotel, but most of them are empty.

Ji Zhenguo secretly observed Jiang Hongyuan's expression, and saw that this Jiang Hongyuan was talking and laughing freely, without the slightest calculation of people, Ji Zhenguo quietly put his mind at ease.

Ji Zhenguo's guard squad was invited by Jiang Hongyuan to a table in another courtyard, and there were only Ji Zhenguo and two guards on the chairman, and these two guards stood closely behind Ji Zhenguo, their eyes vigilantly scanning the guests coming and going.

The guest and host sat down, and Jiang Hongyuan, as the host, said the four specialties of Juancheng: "If you want to talk about Juancheng, I am still quite familiar, there are four specialties here, one is Juancheng Lu Jin-" said, with a wave of his right hand, there were five girls, each holding a large piece of cloth, and unfolding the cloth in front of the chairman for Ji Zhenguo to watch.

Ji Zhenguo felt that his eyes were bright, don't look at these coarse cloths, but the gorgeous and colorful patterns in these coarse cloths can be called ever-changing and ingenious. Lu Jin's pattern artistic conception is reflected by a variety of geometric figures interwoven with various color lines, rather than a specific image of things. The repetition, parallelism, continuity, interval, contrast and other changes of abstract patterns form a unique rhythm and rhyme, which reflects the twists and turns of life and indirect, and contains indescribable artistic charm.

In this regard, Jiang Hongyuan seems to be like an expert, he explained: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Jin appeared in Juancheng County, Shandong Province, and the Lu Jin craftsmanship at that time was relatively rough, the colors were monotonous, and there were few varieties. Later, with the renewal of textile machinery and the application of chemical dyes, the process of Lu Jin has been greatly improved, and in the Qing Dynasty, Juancheng Lu Jin was used as a tribute by local officials and presented to the imperial court. This kind of home-grown farmhouse brocade has become a precious treasure in front of the experts of the Jinluan Palace in Beijing. Commander Ji knows a lot of people and has a wide range of friends, so these 5 pieces of cloth will be given to the 13th detachment, so I can publicize it! ”

Ji Zhenguo had no choice but to say: "If there is a chance, I will definitely publicize it to Juancheng County." cloth, I won't accept it. ”

Jiang Hongyuan immediately continued: "If you don't accept the cloth, how can you give publicity!" ”

Ji Zhenguo had no choice but to say: "Then we will buy it." ”

Lu Yijin hurriedly said: "Promoting our Lu Jin, originally there was to be some expenses, you promote for us, where can I ask for your money again!" ”

Ji Zhenguo said: "If you don't want money, then we won't accept it." ”

The matter of sending Lu Jin for nothing has reached an impasse.

The dish came up quickly, and Jiang Hongyuan introduced another dish and said: "This is the famous food of Juancheng, Shiji roast mutton." As he spoke, he took a piece of mutton and put it on Ji Zhenguo's small plate. Ji Zhenguo couldn't help the fragrance of mutton, picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it, and really felt that this mutton poured with a unique flavor, fragrant but not greasy, not fishy or fatty, the taste was refreshing, and the aftertaste was endless.

Jiang Hongyuan immediately introduced: "Shiji roast mutton is carefully selected, the raw material is selected to grow less than half a year, the weight of no more than 10 catties of Luxi green goat, this kind of goat is famous for its delicious and tender meat, especially the green goat below 10 catties is the best in the meat. The process of making zuò is completely enclosed, without hard water, with soft water, with cloves, meat buttons, peppercorns and other more than 10 kinds of large material recipes to eliminate the fishy smell of meat. When cooking meat, the world-famous Juancheng ancient spring water is used, first put the washed raw mutton into an iron pot, boil it with firewood, wait for the water to boil, and then slowly cook it for 4 hours with a fine fire to maintain the unique flavor of the meat. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong went out of the palace for a private visit, smelled the fragrance from a distance, smelled the fragrance, tasted the roast mutton, praised it, and introduced the imperial dining room, becoming the imperial court meal. ”

After listening to Jiang Hongyuan's fluent introduction, all the squires couldn't help but nod their heads one by one.

Jiang Hongyuan introduced two local famous dishes, one is Zuoying beef mung bean balls, and the other is Juancheng golden cicada.

He sandwiched these two dishes into Ji Zhenguo's small plate and said: "Juancheng Zuoying beef mung bean balls are a historical food, a local specialty, and have a production history of more than 200 years, and were used as tribute points in the Qing Dynasty. It is made with beef, mung beans, seafood, sesame seeds, etc. as the main ingredients, and is repeatedly fried in peanut oil. Golden cicada has medicinal value, delicious taste and high nutrition, and is favored by Chinese and foreign guests. Because the growth cycle of the golden cicada is 3 years, and the peak period of the annual excavation is only one month, more than ten towns in Juancheng happen to be lush trees, which is very suitable for the growth of the golden cicada, so the breeding amount is large and large. Commander Ji, no matter where you go, you must promote these four specialties of Juancheng! ”

Ji Zhenguo had no choice but to deal with it and said: "That's, that's, but I'm just a small soldier, and my ability to promote these specialties is limited!" ”

At this moment, a man suddenly slapped the door and shouted, "Okay! All right! Juancheng's four specialties are good! It's really worth the trip-why you don't invite me for such a good thing-"

The host and guests were in the mood, and suddenly heard a ** noise, and couldn't help but be stunned, who is this! Really, why are you so rude! What kind of green onion are you! Those who shout and shout do not look at what this place is.

The crowd had to look back and look that way.
