Chapter 210
Everyone here did the same, followed Xie Youcai's example, picked up a piece of fish, blanched it in the boiling soup, dipped it in the sauce and ate it.
At first, I was trying to eat it, after all, I don't know if this raw thing is cooked or not. These guys all took a bite and then fished with chopsticks. The speed at which the maid served the fish meat could not match the speed at which they could eat it. It seems that these guys look like the children of a beggar gang who have been hungry for many days, not like the dignitaries and nobles who have eaten and seen in the capital.
"Brothers, eat slowly, and there are still no tricks to come?" Xie Youcai stopped after eating a few chopsticks, and heard that there were still delicious ones. The big guys continued to wait, and only a few of them tried to put kelp and other things in the pot.
"I said, brother, what kind of fish meat is so delicious? It doesn't look like a sea fish! Lao Qian smacked his mouth, Tianjin Wei always ran away, and the sea fish was eaten all over the place. Even whale meat, he tasted it. But I've never tasted this fish.
"Huh! Big brother, this is a wild black fish in Liaodong. In fact, there are black fish in Hebei and Shandong, but the black fish in Liaodong is different. The winter in Liaodong is colder than that in Hebei and Shandong, and the growth period of fish is long, so the fish meat is also firm and tender. It is far from being comparable to the black fish in our Hebei and Shandong borders. ”
"Oh, and that more?"
"That's it, this black fish ......!" Xie Youcai was talking, and the shopkeeper who led the way walked in just now. Behind him was a guy dressed in white and wearing a white hat on his head to cover his head tightly.
"Old brothers, something good is coming. Everyone, please take a look! ”
The guy in the white hat bowed before walking to the brass cart. Gently lift the covered gauze, revealing a fat and thin sheep brain underneath.
The one-and-a-half-foot-long cleaver was extremely sharp, and the guy put on his gloves and got to work. The lamb slices are cut into a fine hair, forty slices per plate, evenly thin, three fat lines, and a straight pen.
The old guys looked stupid, and they even forgot to eat the contents of the soup pot with their mouths open.
Xie Youcai smiled, this is what he wants. There are many famous restaurants in the capital, and there are many dishes in the north and south, Sichuan, Lu, Liaoning, and Guangdong. There are several people here, and there are also special restaurants at home. If you want to gain a foothold in the catering industry in Beijing, how can you succeed without a little unique work.
As for the fact that the master who cut the mutton was brought out of the prison and was the executioner who was in charge of chopping in the past, it is definitely an untold secret of Donglaishun.
After cutting a piece of sheep's upper brain, it is exactly eight plates. The lamb is brought to the table, and a small bowl of sweet garlic is placed in front of each plate of lamb.
The lamb slices are put into the pot, and the chopsticks are sandwiched left and right and scalded. Dipping in sesame seeds and eating crispy raw sweet garlic, it is really enjoyable to eat in your mouth. The wine didn't move, and the mutton was polished.
"Lao Tzu has eaten mutton all his life, and his mother only knew today that it was eaten for nothing." Lao Yu hummed straight, leaning on the back and wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Xie Youcai smiled, he knew that after this treat. Donglai Shun has completely gained a foothold in the capital, no matter whether it is black or white, absolutely no one dares to come here to make trouble. From the mouths of these people, I am afraid that the business of Donglaishun will break through the threshold in the future.
Almost at the same time, Li Xiao was also eating shabu mutton in Shanhaiguan. However, unlike Xie Youcai, only Ge Ritu was sitting with him.
The same Mongolian lamb, the same copper pot. The churning mist blocked the view between the two people. It makes people's faces very hazy!
Li Xiao waved his hand, and Li Xiu left with someone. Before leaving, he didn't forget to stare at Ge Ritu fiercely. In their eyes, there is not a good thing in the Tartars. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and these eight words are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"You're finally here, but it's not the time we agreed." Li Xiao poured a glass of wine and poured himself a drink.
"Brother, it's all my fault. A shepherd who has lost his friends is like a goshawk that has lost its talons and wings. The Mongols now are like foxes, cunning and timid. The noble bloodline of the Golden Family has passed in the long river of history. The great Buerhan Mountain, the mother-like river of suffering. Now they are all trampled by the iron hooves of the Jurchens, and I am ashamed of my ancestors. Ge Ritu "bang" and dried a big bowl of wine. Tears flowed like a meandering stream.
Li Xiao understands Ge Ritu's current mood very well, and has done something ashamed of his friend. Now he has to ask Li Xiao to help, his Mongolian brothers. Seeing Mang Gurtai rushing up like a hungry wolf, his first thought was not to pick up a saber and fight, but to save his people and the migration of looted livestock slaves.
The Mongols no longer had the bravery of their ancestors, and the glory of Genghis Khan no longer shone on their heads.
"I used to think that I was fighting on horseback. The Jurchens don't have one more dick than our Mongols, and they just can't beat it. After this battle, I can see it thoroughly. They all hide their own careful thoughts, and they all hide their own little calculations. On the battlefield, they all hope that others will work hard, and they all hope that they will benefit.
I watched my men fight bloody battles one by one, only to be swallowed up by the two blue flag cavalry that rushed over like a tide. My brother Elch was cut into two pieces by Mang Gultai himself. For the sake of the future of the Mongols, the last drop of blood has been shed. But those people really just watched, and no one came up to help us.
The decisive battle of equal strength turned into a strangulation of the two blue flags against the beggars. Don't they understand that after we are unlucky, the rest of them can be better? At present, the great enemy is still thinking about the previous grievances and grievances of the tribe. There are also people who stab them in the back!
The Mongols are no longer the Mongols of Genghis Khan's time, and perhaps the Mongols no longer deserve to continue to own the steppe. ”
"The Mongols are still part of the steppe, and in the future they will graze under the Bukhan Mountains. The mother-like river of tribulation will still feed the offspring of the blue wolf and the white deer. It's just that it will take you back to the courage of Genghis Khan's time. ”
"Have you forgiven me?" Ge Ritu's eyes widened, he didn't expect Li Xiao to forgive him so easily.
"I can't forgive, I just feel sorry for the transformation of Temujin's descendants into this. Once upon a time, you were the rulers of entire continents. Bend the bow and shoot the eagle, and the saber is raised. But now, I mourn for you. Genghis Khan's descendants were so humiliated by their former servants. Are your sabers curled? Are your bowstrings rotten? The noble blood of the Golden Family has been ruined by you. ”
The pot was boiling, but the drinker was already drunk and unconscious.
Li Xiao knew that Ge Ritu was apologizing in a masochistic way, and the upright Mongolian man thought that drinking alcohol was the best way to apologize. used his drunkenness to hope to get Li Xiao's forgiveness.
Li Xiao didn't speak, turned around and walked out.
Rushing to the news that Ge Ritu helped send Man Gui to prison, Li Xiao will also help him this time. Besides, there need to be many suns on the grassland. If there is only one Mang Gurtai, then the two blue flag iron horsemen he faces will still be like a tide.
"Good hospitality!" Li Xiao threw down a sentence and went to Sun Chengzong's courtyard.
Sun Chengzong's study is very generous, and as soon as he enters the door, there is a screen of iron pear. If this thing is in the future generations, if you don't have a net worth of hundreds of millions, you don't have to ask the price at all.
"What are you going to do?" As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sun Chengzong sitting on a wide leather sofa, a rather modern leather sofa, with Sun Chengzong wearing a long gown with a hair bun, quite a bit of postmodernist style.
"I'm going to give him the Zhaowuda pasture, and I originally wanted to give those places to Master Man. But there are only 1,500 cavalry under Manye, and no matter what, he can't fill the Zhaowuda grassland. Besides, the name of Man Ye is far less resounding than that of the Golden Family. If you want to gather the Mongols, Geritu is the best candidate.
The grassland people have the way of life of the grassland people, and they are different from us. They can't play when they go to the Han people, and we can't play when we go to the grassland. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were very powerful, but they could not finally solve the Xiongnu problem. By the end of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu soldiers were still sharp. Otherwise, there would not have been a fiasco of Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division. ”
"Speak human words! Don't show it off in front of the old man! Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Xiao angrily.
"The affairs of the steppe must be solved by the steppe people, and if we want a stable northern steppe, we must need the help of the Mongols. Otherwise, with our strength, we will not be able to play on the grassland. ”
"How long is your kid's brain, sometimes I think that your insight can't come out of a small family. It's like an excellent son from a big family, just your knowledge, it's not much worse than the second- and third-grade officials in the court.
The location of the Zhaowuda grassland is very good, and it is outside the Great Wall. Those people in the court, no one looks down on them. The border army was also happy not to have to face the Jurchen Tartar soldiers, and the Mongols listened to the greetings more than the Jurchen Tartar soldiers. ”
"You can also try to connect their industry with us. In the past, the Mongols came to rob the pass, mainly because they suffered disasters. I don't have the ability to produce, I don't have food in the bowl, and I have a knife in my hand, so it's hard not to grab it.
Now it's different, I opened a restaurant in the capital called Dong Lai Shun. Specially transported sheep from Mongolia to the capital for slaughter, we only need to exchange grain with the Mongols for cattle and sheep. Wool can be made into blankets, or it can be woven into wool and woven into sweaters. I've heard of a machine for wool milling, but no one has it right now.
As long as trade is established, it can be bartered peacefully. They don't usually risk their lives to rob, even if they do. caught and killed a group of people, and it was shocking. ”
"What you said, the old man thought about the same problem in Datong more than ten years ago. It's just that you didn't think it through, and since you've decided, that's how it goes. What's the deal with you getting back dozens of storytellers? And put them in the army? ”
"If you can tell, you can teach. They all know how to read, and they don't need to be taught anything else. Just teach the GIs to read! In the past, we invited those talents in the local area, and they were all bullish and coaxing. Those soldiers who look down on us and are teased by the soldiers is a conceivable thing.
The difference between these storytellers is the lowest level of living in the capital. We brought them to Jinzhou, so that they could get rid of their lowly status and be upright. There is also a large monthly salary to ensure that they can support their families. I believe that they will do better than those talents. ”
"It is also true that scholars have arrogance in their hearts, and they look down on those who serve as soldiers. But are you sure that those storytellers are up to the task? ”
"There's no way to win or not, I asked them to spread the Baiyun Temple in the capital. Even if these people return to the capital, they will definitely not end well when they encounter those who are looking for a posterior account. Li Xiao spread his hands helplessly, those people behind Baiyunguan didn't dare to trouble Li Xiao, but they wouldn't let go of these storytellers. As long as they move their mouths, these people will be crushed to death like ants.
"Humph! You kid is very powerful, first lure him to cut off people's retreat. Then, get the people back to Jinzhou. I'm afraid you've been planning to do so for a long time. Sun Chengzong didn't believe that Li Xiao was temporarily in the capital.
"It's really improvised, thinking about it. Among the scholars, the lowest status is this wave. They can't even eat enough on weekdays, and Jinzhou is a paradise for them. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. Regarding the placement of the Liao army, I have already drawn up a charter, and I have also talked to Zu Dashou once. Yuan Chonghuan has made a lot of efforts here, but it's just ......! ”
"Zu Dashou is unwilling?" Li Xiaoyi frowned, this was what he was most afraid of. For a warlord, the most important thing is the army. Without soldiers in their hands, these warlords will be uneasy like never before.
The warlords, who had lost their sense of security, did everything, and Li Xiao was afraid that they would rebel. It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat the Liao army, it's just that this kind of infighting was carried out within the Ming army. Li Xiao didn't want these heroes who resisted foreign invasions to be slaughtered by himself in the end. If this is the case, Li Xiao will definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Zu Dashou wants to talk to you, just the two of you." Sun Chengzong sighed, and it seemed that he was not willing to take things to the worst step either.
"Let's talk about it, as long as we can get things done peacefully. It's okay to settle them well, after all, it's all the glory that two shoulders carry their heads and Tartars desperately get. In the final analysis, they are also fighting for the country and the nation. The heroes must not be allowed to shed blood and then shed tears. ”
"Rotten good guy!" Sun Chengzong muttered, but didn't say anything. He knew that since Li Xiao had such a mentality, he would definitely not take advantage of the negotiation with Zu Dashou.
That's fine, with such a mentality. As long as Zu Dashou is not a sky-high asking price, he will definitely be treated with kindness. The affairs of the Liao army can be resolved in a smooth manner, which is the expectation of everyone. No one wants to be in the same room at this time and stage a human tragedy.
