Chapter 40: First of all, I need to get a name
In the eyes of the wealthy, the 'chef' is a relatively rare collector's. After all, if there is a banquet in the circle, it is really embarrassing if there are no one or two chefs at home.
Under normal circumstances, very few chefs are in a state of 'in the wild', and even Sun Jian can't recruit them.
Maybe you can recruit the 'fireman', but the ability can't be compared with the chef, after all, the fireman is only good at knife work, and there is no bonus in cooking. To make food with relatively high requirements for skull or knife work, the fireman can still be competent, and if others say it, it is no different from ordinary people.
Huang Gai, as Sun Jian's old department, is actually Yuan Shu is also wooing, such as sending chefs to cook meals from time to time to tempt them, to see if they can corrupt them in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
However, every time I ate this delicious food, several old departments recalled more that when he went north with Sun Jian to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao entrusted a chef and three chefs to cook a big banquet and entertain the whole army in order to show off.
At that time, everyone felt that Yuan Shao was showing off, and this meal was uncomfortable. Sun Jian laughed and said, "Haha, since the alliance leader is hospitable and wishes us success in courting the thief, then we have to have a good time tonight!" β
At that time, when Huang Gai and the others heard this, they also looked at each other and smiled, and began to eat and drink.
Now Yuan Shu treats a treat, every time he eats, the result in his mind is Sun Jian's figure, and if he can't corrode, it will have the opposite effect.
Having said that, if Zhu Xin, as Sun Ce's fiancΓ©, cooks a feast for everyone, then maybe the cohesion will be stronger. Huang Gai is also worried that if he continues, the few people in the army who are not strong in determination may be corroded.
"Anyway, I can't go anywhere else this winter, and I can't do anything." Zhu Xin also probably heard what Huang Gai meant, "Collect the ingredients in the past few days, and then prepare a rich banquet." β
In fact, in the winter, what is more comfortable than eating hot pot? However, hot pot has nothing to do with cooking skills, and it may have something to do with knife work. It's just that the fireman can do it, and it doesn't highlight his strength.
It's okay to have a hot pot first, but the big meal still has to be prepared, and this can't be sloppy.
"Speaking of which, why did I call you back in the middle of winter?" Huang Gai also immediately looked at Sun Ce, Sun Ce went to crusade against Chen Wen, everyone knows this, or called Sun Ce back in winter, everyone doesn't understand.
"Yuan Shu arranged for Lei Bo to go to Liyang to garrison, and the team under my command will probably return to camp here after the beginning of spring." Sun Ce replied, "Before going on the expedition at the same time, Yuan Shu promised to win the battle and Chen Wen made me the Taishou of Jiujiang, maybe ......."
"Don't count on this, Yuan Shu must appoint his cronies as the master." Zhu Xin directly exposed Yuan Shu's thoughts, after all, if he remembered correctly, Yuan Shu appointed Chen Ji as the Taishou of Jiujiang.
Later, Sun Ce helped him to conquer Lujiang County, and the latter also named Liu Xun as the Taishou of Lujiang. It was these two actions that made Sun Ce feel that it would be difficult to go out independently if he followed the normal procedure.
Only then did he take out the jade seal of the country, exchange some troops and materials, and kill Danyang County. γ
Even so, after defeating Danyang and Wu County, Yuan Shu still appointed his own people to serve as Taishou, until he defeated Huiji County, Sun Ce took the initiative to serve as Taishou and did not give Yuan Shu a chance, and the latter acquiesced to this fact.
"How can she not be true to her word?" Sun Ce was a little incredulous when he heard this, after all, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, wouldn't they be afraid of being like a door wind when they did such a thing that was untrustworthy?
"If I'm not mistaken, it is estimated that she did not promise at all, and she will definitely make you the Taishou of Jiujiang." Zhu Xin asked.
Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, and thought about it carefully, Yuan Shu did indeed just promise that if she could defeat Chen Wen, she might be named Jiujiang Taishou, but he didn't say that he would definitely seal her.
It turned out that there was a language trap from the beginning, and I was really sorry that I was so excited to attack Chen Wen!
"Remember, people who play politics are generally very dark in heart and thick-skinned. Yuan Shu is actually okay, his heart is not black enough, and his face is not thick enough, as long as he finds his lifeline, he still has a chance. Zhu Xin reminded.
"I didn't expect that Weishi would have such an insight...... Huang Gai sighed, she was actually not worried, Zhu Xin was addicted to cooking, and he couldn't become a martial artist, so he couldn't become Sun Ce's virtuous helper. If necessary, I have to find a more suitable partner for her.
Now it seems that Zhu Xin's talent is not very clear, but his vision is still good, and it is worth observing for a while.
"But what should I do?" Sun Ce was a little panicked, she understood the war, and she was a little confused in politics. If you continue, wouldn't you have to work for Yuan Shubai for the rest of your life?
"You don't lack land now, but you have enough supplies to maintain the soldiers, and you still have a reputation!" Zhu Xin reminded.
"Truth be told, now is the time to get down to business...... Marriage can be ...... at any time" Sun Ce suddenly became shy, obviously the word 'reputation' made her have other ideas.
"Bo Fu, I mean identity, you are still white!" Zhu Xin reminded.
Sun Ce gave Wuchenghou to Sun Kuang, who is currently white. Not only is there no civil service, but there is also no military position. What she desperately needs now is an 'official position' recognized by the imperial court. In this way, when you conquer cities in the future, you will have a 'reputation'.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu has not given her any name at all since Sun Ce came to defect to the present. It's not a military candidate, it's not a lieutenant, it's nothing!
"So what?" Sun Ce looked at Zhu Xin with some confusion.
"We have to sum it up, how to let Yuan Shu give you an official position. Don't ask for too much or a county order, at least you have to have a school captain, or a miscellaneous one, so that you can be considered famous. Zhu Xin explained.
"So how?" Sun Ce tilted her head and sold a cute, this thing was a little difficult for her.
It would be nice if everything could be decided by war, simple and clear. If you win, you will be the boss, and if you lose, you will be the little brother. But the rules and regulations of politics, the bottomless doorway inside, made her really unable to deal with it.
"It looks like it's really going to have to be totaled." Seeing this, Huang Gai also sighed. Sun Ce was too young, only nineteen years old, in order to be able to take charge of himself, he performed the crown ceremony in advance, but the nature of his youth could not be changed.
She has almost no contact with politics and has been in the army since she was a child, so those things about politics still need to be accumulated.
In a sense, it is actually not bad to be under Yuan Shu for a year or two, and he can understand more about the sinister nature of politics, so that he will not be deceived in the future, and he will pay back the number of people.
In this way, unconsciously, a total of one night, considering that he would have to see Yuan Shu the next day, stopped halfway to let Sun Ce have a good rest. Zhu Xin even made some refreshing food for her early the next morning.
"Do you know what to say?" Before Sun Ce left, Zhu Xin asked.
"Peace of mind...... Sun Ce patted his chest, "Although I don't know much about politics, my memory is still very good." β
"Be careful, then." Zhu Xin nodded and watched her go to the yamen.
