"Brother Gao, what do you mean by inviting this official to his business for a banquet?"

Ouyang Chen in the county government gently tapped the red invitation on the table with his fingers, and looked at Gao Sheng, who was calm and calm on the side, with his fingers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Since Shen Yue came to Wei County a few months ago, this mysterious figure has secretly come to the door, and the token he took out at the beginning made the county Chengdu, who has always been calm, panicked, and woke himself up from his sleep in the middle of the night without caring about the third watch.

That token also threw his sleepiness out of the clouds, and it was written on it "The Order of the Governor of the Great Inner Army", he was actually the emperor's personal secret agent. The prestige of these people has long been heard, and officials at all levels of the imperial court are afraid and hated of them. I thought he was going to lock him up, but he didn't expect that he was ordering himself to secretly cooperate with a young man named Shen Yue.

Gao Sheng took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile,

It's hard to say, although I've been with him for so long, I can't guess his mind anymore. It shouldn't be to see the auspicious rui brought back, the grain is still confidential, and it is inconvenient to make it public, this time he also invited some big households in the county, and it is estimated that there is something to talk about in business. General Chang is also there, so I might like to ask both of you and the military and the government to help preside over it. ”

"Alas, this official also deeply sympathizes, although this son is young, but the future is unlimited, he founded a business at a young age, not only the business is booming, but the attainments in ordnance are also impressive, with the army to the north to make a contribution, and thwarted the conspiracy of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, and now to the court to offer high-yield crops, that is a great merit of Ze is eternal."

Ouyang Chen couldn't help but sigh, he had wasted half his life, was banished by the imperial court to this land, and had achieved nothing so far, and Shen Yue had already made a splash in just a few months. At first, I was a little puzzled, why a hairy boy from the countryside was so valued, and even later received secret letters from the imperial court one after another, and I also doubted whether Shen Yue was a prince who went out of Beijing to pay a private visit, but judging from the things he had done, he had to be admired.

"Shen Yue is indeed a brave and resourceful person, when he was in danger alone, I was a little curious about him when he rescued us from the Yuan army, originally I came out to find out the whereabouts of the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty, but as soon as I saw the crops he planted, I knew that this person was by no means an idle person, and his role was only afraid of thousands of treasures. The Holy Lord had the foresight and ordered me to follow Shen Yue instead, also to see what kind of changes he could bring to Da Ming. However, he has probably guessed my identity now, and he can continue to stay by his side, which is indeed big-hearted. Adults might as well go over and have a look, maybe what will you gain? ”

Gao Sheng stood up and bowed his hands.

"That's it, the official will go to the details to see what new things he has, this is what you want the official to go, but you are not allowed to report that the official is not an official and hooks up with the businessman." Ouyang Chen joked with a smile that after many contacts with Gao Sheng, the two had some friendship, and there was no longer fear of his identity.

Changing into a cloth robe, Ouyang Chen came to the beacon shop accompanied by his family, and before he entered the door, he felt the aroma coming to his nose, which made his mouth water, and he didn't know what food to prepare, he was relegated from the south to be an official here, and he had never seen such an attractive meal.

"Thank you Lord Ouyang for coming, the food has been prepared, just waiting for you to come to the pot." Shen Yue went out to greet him and smiled. A group of businessmen behind him also stood up to greet him.

Ouyang Chen didn't expect so many people to come, and there were many well-known wealthy businessmen, although he was a parent official, it was a pity that he was a degraded person who was not treated by the imperial court, and he didn't see them come to visit him when he took office.

"It seems that all the famous people in our city have come over, and since this official came to Wei County to take office, he has not had the opportunity to get close to you, this time I will take advantage of the banquet of Shen Dong's family, let's get together. There is no county order today, so please be polite. ”

Everyone listened to Ouyang Chen's easy-going words, and they all settled down, they also came over this time and were apprehensive, the rise of the Beacon Merchant was inevitable, not only in terms of the army, but also in the recent relationship with several princes, fortunately did not touch this young man's mold.

"Lao Wang, what do you say this Shen family kid is looking for us? Even the county magistrate has been invited over, you have a stake in his firm, give your brother some pointers. A short middle-aged man pulled the placket of the person next to him and asked in a low voice.

One of them was busy covering his mouth,

"Shhh, how dare you call him a boy from the Shen family, don't die, don't look at him young and easy-going, but he can act ruthlessly, the fate of the Huang family is obvious to all, even if there are big officials in the capital to support him, even if he sends someone over and doesn't **** it. At that time, the housekeeper of the Hu family was dragged outside the yamen and beaten severely, crying that it was a miserable one. ”

"Hehe, you don't know, that person was not only beaten by the county commander, after they were driven out of the city, they were killed by a group of mountain bandits before they went far, and their bodies were thrown into the ravine. Another person also came up and proudly shared his gossip.

Several people around me who listened took a breath, this beacon business was really unprovoked, and secretly sighed why they were dizzy in the first place, and they didn't get on this big tree earlier.

The shopkeeper, who was known as Lao Wang, glanced at the man with disdain, and said slowly,

"Shen Dong's family has lofty ambitions, where is it to bother to entangle with that Lai Pi housekeeper, don't use false rumors to ruin people's reputation. It is estimated that there are big people in the army who secretly helped him out, pretending to be a mountain bandit to get rid of the trouble, this time he summoned us over to discuss something important, don't miss the opportunity again. ”

When a few people heard this, they thought so, and hurriedly found a seat to sit down, and said in their hearts that this time they would try to get in touch with Shen Yue no matter what, no matter what he proposed, he had the money to contribute, and he had the strength to contribute, and in addition, there was still a daughter to be married in his relatives, although the Shen family had declined in recent years, but this Shen Yue had a sense of prosperity, and it was better to start early, but if he could climb with him, Feihuang Tengda was just around the corner.

How did Shen Yue know that he had been rumored to be a ruthless and powerful man by them, and this time he invited them over just to help Chang Mao solve the problem of military spending, but Shen Wansan had offended the imperial court because of the army before, but he didn't dare to do it directly, and he pulled more merchants to show the trend of public opinion, and he also asked Ouyang Chen, the county magistrate, to make him a middleman, so as to avoid further criticism.

"I invite everyone to come here this time, because I have recently had a whim, and I have figured out a delicacy, and I dare not monopolize it, so I want to share it with you, everyone will try it and comment on it." Shen Yue clapped his hands and motioned to Pinglan and the others to serve the food. Although the efficiency may be slower than that of some meetings and negotiations, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will not hurt each other's face, and it will often have miraculous results.

Everyone had already smelled the tempting fragrance and fidgeted, only to see a team of dignified and beautiful women walking in with plates, waiting for all kinds of dishes to be put on the table, but it was difficult.

"Shen Dongjia, these dishes are all raw, how can you eat them?" Ouyang Chen asked puzzled, he sat in the first place, and naturally spoke without scruples.

"The beauty of our dish is to eat it while cooking it on the table, and now the autumn is getting cooler, so we want to eat a prosperous and lively meal, so it is called hot pot. Someone, bring the pot up. ”

Shen Yue waved his hand, and a group of sturdy men walked out with a small copper pot, which was thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and there was a flat copper pot in the middle, which was very peculiar. Before everyone could see it, the people poured the boiled broth into the round copper pot in the middle, and put charcoal fire at the bottom, and the aroma was even stronger.

"This hot pot has actually existed since ancient times, but it has been improved in the next, and the soup base has also taken a lot of thought, especially for shabu mutton and other delicacies, which is a must in the world, and there has been such a way of eating in the palace in the former dynasty, which is very delicious." Shen Yue picked up the sliced mutton and put it in the pot.

Everyone was hooked by the delicious food in front of them, and when they heard that it was the food coming from the palace, they couldn't hold it back, and they were all soaked. As the most proficient nation, it is self-taught on this, three or two to fish out the good mutton, dip it in the base and stuff it into the mouth, the tender mutton and the spices in the broth are mixed together, complement each other, the unique taste lingers in the mouth, it is indeed called the delicacy of the world.

Seeing that everyone was soaking hot pot with their hands and feet, sweating profusely and refusing to put down their chopsticks, they all looked like they were fascinated and couldn't take care of Sven, Shen Yue smiled at the corner of his mouth, eat well, eat comfortably, and it is convenient for him to go under the knife.
