Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Immortal Forest (New Books for Collection, Recommendation)
Dong Ying, who was sitting on Su Jun's left hand, took over the conversation, stroked her palm and said with a smile:
"In the border towns, there is never a shortage of good meat, but fish is a rare food, because it is so scarce that it is difficult to buy even if you have money, which leads to few masters of cooking fish."
"Like today, to be able to cook this steamed fish so deliciously, it must be the work of Master Yi of Tianxianglou himself, right?"
"Lord of the city, my brother is not wrong, right?"
Dong Qi also took a large piece of fish meat, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile.
"The Dong family is really worthy of their reputation, not only do they work hard, but they also know a lot about food! What the eldest brother of the Dong family said is indeed right, all the dishes on this table are from the hands of Master Yi Yayi of Tianxiang Lou."
"Oh? I heard that Master Yi has been sealing knives for many years and no longer cooks for anyone, the city lord is really a big face, even Master Yi invited him? ”
The city lord of the border city waved his hand again and again, and said with a lonely face:
"How can I have this face? Last time, the county head sent someone to ask Master Yi to cook for him, but he didn't even see Master Yi himself, I, a small border city lord, are far from the county head."
"Since it wasn't the city lord's doing, then who else can invite Master Yi?"
Dong Ying also frowned and asked puzzled.
"Let's let this official sell a pass, what is the specific, I won't say it yet, you might as well guess first, who invited Master Yi here?"
"This is easy, since the county chief's face is not sold, then it must be the work of Lord Shizi, and only heroes like Shizi can make Master Yi make an exception once, right?"
Everyone's eyes invariably looked at Su Jun, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Don't look at me, my brother and I have just arrived in Bian County, and even the name of Tianxianglou is only the first time we have heard of it, so how can we arrange for someone to invite Master Yi over?"
"Then it's strange, except for the son, we really can't imagine who has such ability"
Everyone at the table was scratching their ears and cheeks, racking their brains, and couldn't come up with a reason.
Seeing that everyone really couldn't guess, the city lord of the border city stood up, picked up a bowl of tea, saluted Su Jun, and said with a smile:
"Actually, although everyone didn't guess right just now, but they also said it in general, everyone can eat such delicious food today, it is indeed all the work of 'General Zhenbei', let's replace wine with tea, let's toast General Zhenbei with a cup, how about it?"
"Okay, okay, let's pay tribute to General Zhenbei together"
"General Jing Zhenbei, do it"
"Come on, let's do it together"
Su Jun had a faint smile on his face, stood up, and his expression suddenly became serious and said:
"Then let's raise a glass together, but not to me, but to those good sons who died to defend the northern frontier and resist the barbarians, and we will drink this cup together to comfort the unyielding heroic souls of the soldiers."
Everyone drank the tea in the bowl in one go, looked at Su Jun's eyes full of admiration, there were not many good officials who could sympathize with their subordinates and take their subordinates to heart at any time, and everyone's faces showed a solemn look.
Su Jun felt that he had made the atmosphere a little depressed, and said with a smile to the city lord of the border city:
"The city lord just said that everyone guessed only half right, and I didn't send someone to invite Master Yi, what does this mean? Can you make it clearer? ”
"Haha, Master Yi heard that General Zhenbei was in danger and personally came to the border city to supervise the war, so he found it himself, and he had to cook a meal for General Su, so I just came out and said that everyone only guessed half right, is this wrong?"
The city lord of the border city poured tea for Su Jun and said with a smug smile.
"Haha, I said it a long time ago, with Master Yi's stubborn temper, if he doesn't want to, who can force him"
"Come on, you only have this ability after the fact, I thought about why you didn't say it earlier"
Although many of you are natives of the border city, it is extremely difficult to be lucky enough to taste the dishes cooked by Master Yi himself.
"Come on, let's not just eat fish, but also taste wild boar, Master Yi is the best at making this kind of coarse meat, and it has a unique flavor."
"Oh, this is a boar? There are even wild boars near the border city? ”
Su Jun asked curiously.
"That's nature"
Seeing that Su Jun was quite interested in this, the city lord of the border city continued to reply:
"In the northwest of our border city, there is an old forest, called the 'Immortal Forest', and there is all kinds of game in it. Not to mention the boar, as long as you are lucky enough, even tigers and brown bears can be hunted. ”
"'Immortal Forest'? But I remember that if you go northwest from here, it's not the realm of the barbarians! ”
When it comes to the Immortal Forest, Su Jun suddenly remembered that when he was a child in the previous life, he had eaten a kind of sugar, and he was also Immortal Forest, which was a rare delicacy that he could eat when he was in the orphanage, even if he thought about it now, there was still a sweet taste in his mouth, but it was a pity that it was like a different world, and it was no longer a person.
"'Immortal Forest' is an old forest in the middle of the border city and the Northern Barbarians, where there are not only fierce beasts, but also a group of mountain bandits, ordinary people dare not go"
"What a strange name, could it be that this 'immortal forest' has the ability to stay young forever and make people immortal?"
"The prince laughed, the princes and generals, the common people of the Son of Heaven don't want to live forever? But how can there be an immortal person in the world, this forest is not immortal, but on the contrary, everyone who enters the forest will die, and when a person dies, he will naturally not age"
"But the beasts and bandits in the forest kill people? Why don't we send troops to exterminate the bandits?"
As soon as he heard that there were mountain bandits in the "Immortal Forest", Su Jun suddenly came to his senses, and he didn't want to drink the tea.
The first time the bandits were subdued, the slaves were comparable to Gao Meng's fierce generals, both of them were brothers, and it had been rumored to be a good story in the army.
"There are two bandits in the border county that are the most difficult to eradicate, one is the slave general who was subdued by Su Ye, because he was born brave, he can't be opened, no one in the army can hurt him, and the general is kind-hearted, and he is even more innocent to the people, and the officials and soldiers don't want to go to the encirclement and suppression thanklessly."
The county lieutenant of the border city saw that General Zhenbei had the idea of suppressing bandits again, and hurriedly explained to him.
"Could it be that the leader of the mountain bandits in the 'Immortal Forest' is also like his own slaves, so we haven't encircled and suppressed it for a long time? If that's the case, the city lord doesn't need to worry, I have a lot of talents, I really don't believe it, the general of his slave is like a brave person, you can see it everywhere"
"This is not true, the general of the slave is brave, the world knows, the existence of the unparalleled god in the world, how can it be seen everywhere?" The number of mountain bandits in the Immortal Forest is small, and the big leader is called 'Goose Plucking', and he is self-proclaimed 'Psychic General'"
