Chapter 304: Adding Ingredients (2)
Inviting guests to eat is a kind of science, and there is a lot of attention to it, and the most taboo is to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong and use the so-called hometown dishes to entertain each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info unless you come up with a dish that is more authentic and authentic than that produced in the other party's hometown. The craftsmanship of Tianxiang Pavilion, Jiang Yun could not trust it anymore, and there was no worry about this.
When plates of crystal clear, shiny seafood sashimi were served on the table, Hiroya's eyes straightened.
"This... Could it be sashimi? He let out a long sigh and said in surprise: "It's not a secret, in Xia Yuan, I don't have any expectations for the cooking skills of these restaurants in Da Zhou, they will always only fry and fry." As everyone knows, these cooking techniques just destroy the unique freshness and tenderness of seafood, and the most suitable fish is to eat it raw! ”
Jiang Yun smiled. "Your envoy might as well try it."
"Okay." Hongye Fuhei picked up the long chopsticks, put a piece into his mouth, tasted the product, and couldn't help but praise: "I can't believe that such a delicacy can appear in the capital of the Great Zhou." In the hot summer, the seafood should not be stored for too long, but this fish fillet is fresh as if it has just been cut from a live fish, and now this season, it is not easy for me to go abroad to use such fish fillets. ”
"It is a great honor for the official to be praised by the noble envoy, and it is not a secret that this Tianxiang Pavilion is the property purchased by the official."
"Oh? In this way, what Mr. Jiang said just now is that he is quite interested in my country's culture, but he is not a lie. The most important of all the cultures in my country is the food culture. "I put another chopstick on myself, and Hiroya Fuhei shook his head again and again." It's delicious, it's true, it's just a pity... The taste of fish is too monotonous, and if it can be paired with China's unique fragrant ink sauce, it will be perfect. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yun took out a small dish from the plate and pushed it out. "Dip this and try again."
"Oh?" Hiroya Tomipera did as he said, dipped a large piece of it, and the moment the fish was eaten, he gasped, his eyes widened suddenly, his hands pinched his throat, and his face was full of pain. "Uh" for a long time, I couldn't say a word, that look, like a state of death from poison.
"Your Excellency!" Kaguya Sayuri was shocked, and suddenly pulled out the small knife that was lying flat on her legs, pointed it at Jiang Yun and shouted, "What did you give him!" ”
"Sayuri, no... Don't be rude! Hiroya Fuhei finally relieved himself, and after drinking Sayuri, he asked in shock, "Lord Jiang, what is this?" ”
"The sauce unique to Tianxiang Pavilion is called wasabi."
"Such a sacred object seems to have been made for sashimi, beautiful! It's so delicious! I'm sure that even His Majesty the Emperor Imori has never enjoyed such a delicacy in my life. It's a pity... ”
Looking at his appearance, Jiang Yun knew what he meant, and immediately shouted, "Boss Yan." ”
Yan Tianhua seemed to have been staying at the door, and walked in as soon as the words fell. "What do you command?"
"Hit two boxes of mustard and I'll take them with you later."
"Guest officer later."
After taking two large boxes of mustard sauce and handing it over, Jiang Yun said: "This is a little bit of the official's heart, and I hope your envoy will accept it." ”
"Good, good! Lord Jiang is too polite. "He was polite on his lips, but he accepted it very simply in his hands.
This kind of thing that has not been stained with fire is not clean at first glance, Xiao Ran is not interested in it, but those grilled squid skewers made of bamboo skewers, which exude bursts of meat aroma, which makes people's appetite move. She quickly scooped up a bunch and wiped it to her mouth, and ate it very refreshingly.
"Slow down, don't choke." Seeing her eating appearance, Jiang Yun didn't feel funny and handed over the juice. "Taste this."
"Goo." Xiao Ran opened his mouth to be a small half pot of belly, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, pointed to the skewers and said, "That is delicious, I still want it." ”
Ten strings of squid are enough for her to struggle for a long time. Jiang Yun retracted his mind and cut to the point: "Your envoy is here, the negotiation with Lord Liao doesn't seem to be going very well?" ”
When he mentioned this, Hiroya Fuhei became angry, and his face couldn't help but look embarrassed. "That Lord Liao is extremely unreasonable, and his request is too much, and my country is afraid that it will be difficult to meet it."
"Oh?" Jiang Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued to ask, "What did he ask?" ”
"In the morning, I raised 10 million taels before I was willing to send troops to contain the Huns." Hongya Fuhei said angrily: "Where did I get the 10 million taels of silver from the east, this is simply embarrassing and insincere, so I left early next morning." In the afternoon, we talked again, and although he made some concessions this time, he also asked for eight million taels, which was almost the same as not giving up. ”
"Well, Lord Liao is indeed too much this time."
"Oh? Master Jiang thinks so too? ”
"Not bad." Jiang Yun said helplessly: "At the beginning, it should have been the official who was responsible for contacting your envoy, but Lord Liao used some connections to snatch the errand over, so it caused your envoy to be in trouble today." ”
"Oh? In this way, Lord Jiang's connections in the court seem to be inferior to him? ”
"Hey, look at my age, and you know that I haven't been an official for a few years, so how can I have any connections at all."
"That's just as well." Hongya Fuhei said: "Adults don't have to be presumptuous, you are already in a high position at a young age, and the future is limitless." ”
Hey! How did you run to the official position? Jiang Yun hurriedly calmed down and turned the topic back around. "Your Excellency, I'm afraid you don't know much about this matter. In fact, Your Majesty has the heart to take care of your country, when he first assigned this official to contact you, he had a word in advance, just need to mean it, how do you know that Lord Liao, it is so unreasonable... ”
"Did the Great Zhou Emperor say this?" Hiroya Fuhei's eyes lit up, this is good news, which is enough to affect the confidence of the negotiation.
"Not bad. It's just that... Jiang Yun wanted to speak and stopped, and only after a pause did he say: "Speaking of Lord Liao, it's not for no reason that Lord Liao is doing this. According to the rules of my Honglu Temple, no matter how much he can talk about this time, he An Rong Division can intercept one percent as a commission. Eight million and twenty thousand, hehe, Lord Liao is counting on making 80,000 taels of silver from this transaction, and he will not be able to eat it for the rest of his life. ”
This guy is a little unkind, not only exposed his own old background, but also deliberately concealed the upper limit of the commission, and successfully created a shameful image of insatiable greed for Liao Hui. Sure enough, when he heard this, Hiroya Fuhei was furious and almost didn't lift the wooden table in front of him.
"This shameless villain! actually turned the major affairs of the country into a way for him to accumulate money, and he was really sad for the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Slapping the table and hammering the chair, he lost his temper, and Hiroya Fuhei gradually softened again, and said helplessly: "This is troublesome!" If it is linked to its own interests, wouldn't it be more and more difficult to get him to make concessions? ”
After tossing for so long, he finally looked forward to a conversation, and held back the joy in his heart, Jiang Yun gave him an idea with a faint face. "It's not necessarily true to say that it's difficult, I pay attention to everything I say, and you don't have any jokes. If the envoy can get Lord Liao to sign the credentials, even if he is unwilling afterwards, it will be difficult to regret it. ”
"What do you mean?" Hiroya Tomipera swallowed his saliva, faintly excited.
"Hehe, this official just told your envoy my style of acting in the Great Zhou court, and has no other intentions." Jiang Yun changed his words and said, "By the way, the illusion that the noble envoy said... Hehe, but it's really a magical thing, if it is used on some occasions, the effect is extraordinary! ”
Hongya Fuping was obviously moved, but he was still a little hesitant, he looked left and right, and then approached Jiang Yun and said softly: "My lord, this is a bully after all, in case... ”
"Bullying the king is a big crime to kill the head, but you can't help it!" Jiang Yun said with a smile: "But if some people take money for their own selfishness, such as accepting money, beautiful women or something, ignoring the interests of the country, and committing the great crime of bullying the king, Your Majesty is not an unreasonable person, and he will definitely not be angry with others, but only punish the evil." ”
"Oh!" Hiroya Tomipera suddenly realized. "Mr. Jiang has benefited a lot from every word. Sayuri, can you understand Lord Jiang's golden and jade words? ”
"Understood." Kaguya Sayuri replied decisively.
"My lord, come, I will give you a drink."
"Hehe, your envoy is polite." Jiang Yun smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish, and before he could be proud for too long, he saw the strange gaze of Xiao Ran beside him in a blink of an eye, and he leaned over and asked softly, "Why do you look at me like this?" ”
"You want to hurt that Lord Liao."
See? Seeing it, Jiang Yun didn't deny it at all, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?" Now know I'm not a good person? ”
After staring at him for a long time, Xiao Ran took a bite of the skewer and replied seriously: "You invited me to eat again, you are a good person, and the Lord Liao you want to harm must be a bad person." ”
“。。。” This standard of good and evil, how to put it, is really a bit cheap.
