Chapter 116: Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an

This is a foodie's fist.

Wu Bencao understood and replied: "This is the first time I have been to the capital, and I am not familiar with the situation there, and I am still not sure where to choose the site. All I can tell you is that the name of the shop is Wormwood. ”

General Wu laughed, "That's good." With the talent of the son, it will not take much time to be famous in the capital, and by then, the fame of the wormwood bar will be a household name, why should my sister and I not find you!"

Wu Bencao nodded, noticing the order in which he said "sister and me", and secretly thought, it seems that this is indeed the case.

General Wu continued: "Childe, since we are all going to Chang'an, why don't we travel? If it is freezing today, there are still thousands of miles away, you and the army, I can also send someone to serve you and relieve the fatigue of the boat!"

What he thought in his heart was that this pair of masters and servants were unfathomable, and he could take the opportunity to get closer to them and get to the bottom of it. After arriving in the capital like this, even if the two sides are friends and enemies, Wu Bencao will not immediately turn his face and deny people.

I didn't want Wu Bencao to have the same thoughts, and I also planned to find out the intentions of this army, so I pretended to hesitate, "We are ordinary people, and we don't have military ranks, so I'm afraid it's not good to bother rashly......

Lao Bai smiled and said in his heart, boss, you are really slippery.

General Wu hurriedly replied: "Childe, where are you talking about this! You have brought so many fish to the army, and you have made a great contribution, if you don't dislike it, I can immediately give you and your seniors a military position, who dares to disobey?"

Wu Bencao borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a smile: "The military post will be dismissed, since the general is so gracious, then we will be disrespectful." I have two retinues left by the lake, so I will bring them both here, and ask the general to take care of them!"

After all, Xiao Ai is a daughter, she can't stand the toss, and she has a bottomless stomach, and it is difficult to solve the problem of making a living. Beside this military horse, there is no need for food and clothing all the way, which can be solved perfectly.

It was early in the morning, and the two of them rode back.

Wu Bencao immediately sighed: "Things went much smoother than I expected. Speaking of which, thanks to your finger, it completely shocked that general, otherwise, something might have happened......"

Lao Bai rode forward and complained: "You are a disaster star, you have only been out of the city for a day, and you have met two Datang masters, and you have bothered me to shoot twice." This will not work, I have to declare, from now on, even if there are knives in the sky, I will stand by and watch!"

There is Li Qianqiu in front and General Wu in the back, all of them are famous big shots, if it weren't for Lao Bai's presence, Wu Bencao really couldn't deal with it.

Wu Bencao smiled, "When you arrive in Chang'an, you don't need to make another move." The surname Li and the surname Wu are obedient, if something happens again, I will move their names out, and I am afraid that it will not be fair?"

He can't do anything else, he still has the ability to borrow some east wind.

Lao Bai thought for a moment and asked, "Our goal is to find out the truth and reality, from the time you entered the barracks to the present, have you gained anything?"

Wu Bencao replied: "I probably guessed their intentions. If nothing else, a turmoil will break out in Chang'an next, but it shouldn't affect us ordinary people. ”

"Oh?" Lao Bai was surprised, and looked sideways at him, "How did you see that? Why didn't I find out?"

Wu Bencao blinked slyly, without explaining too much, and with a strong swing of the horsewhip, he rushed forward to the snowfield.

"Actually, it's very simple, that person's surname is Wu. ”

......

......

After bringing Xiao Ai and Wang Xiang to the barracks, Wu Bencao's trouble was indeed solved.

But this is bitter for the Huotou Army, except for sleeping at night, Xiao Ai is with them almost all day long, pestering them to get food and drink, which makes them deeply understand the difficulty of Wu Bencao being an elder brother.

However, Wu Bencao contributed to the whole army and conquered them with his cooking skills, so they had to meet Xiao Ai's requirements and specially sent people to revolve around Xiao Ai, like serving his aunt and grandmother.

In this way, Wu Bencao freed up his energy to learn more about the situation of this army. Although he didn't ask explicitly, he could also find that most of the sergeants spoke Youzhou accents, which should be the famous Youzhou guards.

Youzhou Wei, as the name suggests, is stationed in Youzhou all the year round, is one of the most elite combat forces in Datang, and has made great achievements. They quietly withdrew from the border and aimed their troops at Chang'an, which meant something even more extraordinary.

Secondly, Wu Bencao found that the route of this army was very strange, avoiding the prosperous towns all the way, picking on the barren mountains and mountains, knowing that the ice and snow were blocked, but still insisted on going far away, and refused to enter the city to rest.

Obviously, Youzhou Wei wanted to hide people's eyes and ears to avoid revealing the whereabouts of the army, so as to act as a surprise army that fell from the sky. This can understand why Wu Bencao met them in the wasteland.

Finally, and the most critical point, the general who commanded the army was called Wu Jingsi, named King Liang, and was the commander of Youzhou. In this operation, he actually went out in person and completely verified Wu Bencao's guess.

Chang'an City is stormy, and the situation is really grim.

After figuring this out, Wu Bencao remained silent and pretended to be in the dark. And Wu Jingsi kept testing his tone along the way, wondering if he really just wanted to open a store and do business when he took Bai Yujing into the city.

Bai Yujing is invincible, the threat is too huge, he obeys Wu Bencao's orders, which side these two people are on, maybe they can change the pattern of the capital in the future.

Wu Bencao pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not express his position. In fact, he doesn't have any political stance, he just wants to cook quietly and be the first chef in Datang, that's all.

He left Goose City on the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, and four days later, that is, on the 14th day of the first lunar month, he finally arrived in the capital Chang'an.

Wu Jingsi ordered an army of 100,000 troops to be secretly stationed two hundred miles away, and before parting, he repeatedly told Wu Bencao that if he had no bad intentions, he would not reveal the whereabouts of the army, as if he did not know anything.

It's not that he didn't want to kill people, however, Bai Yujing was too strong, once he started to do it, he was very sure that before he hurt Wu Bencao, he would die first, and this kind of stupid thing of burning jade and stone could not be done.

Therefore, he could only let Wu Bencao leave.

Wu Bencao agreed, and at noon, he led the three into the city.

The prosperity of Chang'an is majestic, needless to say.

After entering the city, they first found a top inn to stay in and rest for the night.

The next day, the traditional Shangyuan Festival, the four of them got up early in the morning and went out to visit the beautiful scenery of the capital, looking forward to the evening light festival.

Wu Bencao deliberately paid for it, hired an innkeeper as a guide, and took them around the streets and alleys, eating, drinking, and taking a look.

Until noon, they were a little tired, so they picked a lively restaurant for lunch and began to discuss the location and opening a store.

The guide made enough money and water, stood aside, and asked earnestly: "Wu Gongzi, what kind of business do you have, you might as well tell me, I can help you refer to the details! You know, different shops have their own special location selection, this is not arbitrary." ”

Wu Bencao picked up a piece of lotus pod chicken, chewed it a few times, and felt that the taste of this famous dish in Chang'an was not good, so he spit on the table and said casually: "What is the business I do...... Same as this one. ”
