Xuanhua City is the central area of the southwest and one of the few prosperous cities.

There are all kinds of shops such as liquor shops and daily necessities, and there are many hawkers along the street, and even Toutuo who reports the time in the morning has it, just like a small Bianliang.

But prosperity also depends on the rank.

Compared with Bianliang, it is probably the gap between the countryside and the city.

The remote countryside is naturally far away from the emperor, and even a small mile grows here, and it can also be a little majestic.

Not to mention the existence of an earth emperor like Xiao Ran.

In this Xuanhua City, he is covering the sky with one hand......

So after seeing Xiao Ran come in, the surrounding diners all got up and stood with their hands tied, and even a few small vendors in front of the door pushed the stalls away.

For fear of colliding with this high-ranking pacifier.

If it is in Bianliang, those officials and imperial historians will definitely impeach Xiao Gu for being arrogant, and if he doesn't say it well, he will be reprimanded by the emperor

But this is Xuanhua City.

A savage land where you will be killed if you are not careful, if you don't have the strength, then you must be obedient, otherwise you will die in an instant.

The people in the official office all came out to look for Qin Wei, and Pang Ji was worried that the kid would mess around, so he also dragged his exhaustion to the street.

He came to the wine store just in time to meet this scene.

Everyone saluted him, Pang Ji just nodded, sat next to Qin Wei, and said with a smile: "It is said that you Qin Ji is in the fight, the wine and food are ridiculously expensive, and the old man has no money to enjoy it...... However, when you come to the southwest today, don't you, the proprietor, show your hand? ”

Then he feigned anger and said: "The old man has been driven by you to march all the way, and he has been sneered at by you, and now the old man only feels that he has rebelled in his belly, and his life is short, this is all your fault......"

Qin Wei smiled and said, "That's it." ”

He was anxious all the way, for fear that he would be too late to catch up with Jiaozhi to send troops.

But Lao Pang is a civil official after all, and he is also in his forties, and normal people will be unbearable for this thousands of miles of travel, let alone those of them who hold pens.

Lao Pang now looked haggard.

The thin appearance makes people think that they have changed people.

If you go home, I'm afraid you won't even be able to recognize Pang Shiying...... And this change, at least eighty percent of it was driven out by hurry.

Let's talk about this trip to the southwest.

It's all Qin Wei's thing, let's not talk about business, let's just say that Zhao Zhen followed his advice, but let him, the privy envoy, come to the town.

Then he Qin Wei can't get out of this matter.

There is nothing to do in the southwest for the time being, and Qin Wei is also a lot more relaxed, at least he doesn't have to start a war as soon as he comes up, and he can talk about the situation for a few days.

Then he smiled and asked, "Where's the kitchen?" ”

The shopkeeper stood there with a blank face, and subconsciously pointed to the left, "It's just behind, it's just a nobleman......"

Do you know how to cook?

This year, the official can cook...... Opening a restaurant is one thing, but cooking is another.

You look like a yamen, and you don't know how to cook.

Qin Wei was very confident, regardless of the shopkeeper's eyes, he plunged into the kitchen.

By the time he came out again, it was already half an hour later.

Pang Ji was already hungry and was eating the snacks he brought with him.

After seeing him come out, he was displeased: "The old man is also your official now, if you eat a lot of this meal, don't think about running away on this trip to the southwest, and stay in the official office obediently with the old man." ”

Qin Wei smiled confidently: "Just eat, a certain person started by cooking skills back then, if there is anyone in the whole Bianliang who is better at cooking than a certain person, it must be Qin Ji's chef, and the others ...... They're almost. ”

While talking, Xie Ting walked out with a tray, and there were several bowls of mutton noodle soup on which they were steaming, which made people can't help but move their index fingers.

"Taste it!"

Pang Ji was not disappointed, because he was never greedy.

He just wanted to get closer to Qin Wei, not that he wanted to win over anyone, but the current relationship between the two families was very delicate.

Last time, because of Zhang Shixun's relationship, there was some hesitation between him and Qin Wei, even if he had another twist and turn later, but the gap could not be smoothed out so quickly.

In addition, now his son Pang Shiying is studying under Qin Wei, according to this generation, he and Qin Wei belong to the same generation.

But according to his official position, Qin Wei should be his subordinate.

This back and forth relationship gradually deepened, so he wanted to get closer to the relationship and make up for the previous hesitation.

So along the way, he deliberately got closer to Qin Wei.

It is said that Pang Ji is an upright gentleman and never vain and wronged, but he understands the world, otherwise this privy envoy will not be his turn.

So gastronomy wasn't the original intention.

But when he tasted the soup, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious!" Rich! ”

The key to the chewy hand-rolled noodles and the delicious mutton soup is ......

"Why is it so delicious?"

Pang Ji was so hungry that he couldn't care about the cardinal's face, and after a wild drink, he had a long burp before putting down the bowl contentedly.

He straightened his belly a little funny and said with a smile: "The old man is very hungry, but he has eaten a little." ”

Where is this hungry, it's clearly a rice bucket.

Xiao Ran on the side smiled secretly in his heart.

Pang Ji showed off three bowls of noodles in a row just now, and this amount of food is not even much for the soldiers in the army.

"It's just something new."

Mutton stewed noodles is a beautiful food in Henan, which has been inherited for hundreds of years and has long been studied by foodies.

It's just that no one has thought of doing this now.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.

After Xie Ting and the others finished eating and put down the bowl, he couldn't help but pick up a bowl of leftovers and taste the soup base.

"Fresh!"

"Rich!"

The taste of the mutton soup makes people can't help but squint, and the fresh mutton and big bones are stewed together, and with the help of a few seasonings, the umami comes out at once.

The shopkeeper is in the southwest, where has he ever seen this kind of fresh food.

Seeing that Qin Wei was about to leave, he boldly asked, "Dare to ask the noble person's surname." ”

Qin Wei smiled and didn't speak, Xie Ting said on the side: "My family's surname is Qin." ”

The son does not speak of fatherhood, and the people do not ask about official status.

A surname is introduced.

This is Qin Wei and the others have already gone out, and the shopkeeper hurriedly trotted out, and said excitedly: "The noble man stays, Xiao Ke has a request......

Qin Wei and Pang Ji were talking about this, and when they heard the sound and turned around, they heard the shopkeeper shout.

He probably understood what the shopkeeper was going to say, and said casually: "Your chef should have learned the method of braised noodles, you are willing to use it, and you can use it, but you must study it carefully, and you must not lose the reputation of this delicacy." ”

"Thank you, Lord Qin!"

The shopkeeper knelt down again excitedly when he heard this.

Most of the people in these years want to be embarrassed, plagiarizing this kind of thing, not to mention literati students, even these small traders in remote areas don't have the face to do it.

Once it gets out, the spitting stars alone will drown people.

Besides, Qin Wei's identity, the shopkeeper really wanted to get this braised noodle method, but he could only ask for it, but he didn't dare to do it secretly in private, otherwise he would suffer a lawsuit.

This time, the shopkeeper said that he didn't get up anymore, and after kowtowing respectfully, he said: "After the villain goes back, he will worship the adult's immortal tablet at home, and pray for the adult's blessing with three incense sticks every day......"

Forehead......

That's a bit too much.

In these years, they are either contemporary great benevolent people, or great people who benefit the people for thousands of years, and they are qualified to be enshrined by the people for the immortal tablet.

When there are enough people who worship you, your fame will rise, and then there will be a generation of great people.

The question is......

I'm a hairy boy, how can I be?

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, this is a golden truth that a thousand dollars cannot be exchanged.

"Lord Qin benefits people's livelihood, and his merits are immeasurable, which is enviable!"

But Pang Ji and others were envious of this, feeling that this was prestige, and it was also something that officials wanted all their lives.

……

Wait until the next day.

The spies sent out by Xiao Ran finally came back, and they also brought back the latest news.

"Those indigenous tribes have all benefited from the Jiaozhi people, and the Jiaozhi people also said that if they can help Jiaozhi conquer this part of Xiping Prefecture, let them manage it alone, and give them all the resources!"

The huge Xiping Prefecture is surrounded by six or seven counties under its jurisdiction, and there is also a prosperous capital, Xuanhua City!

This temptation is not ordinary!

If you go forward a hundred years, this is a proper ripping of the earth and king!

If the situation can be stabilized again, it is not impossible to create a country by himself even if he ascends the throne and becomes emperor.

Although it's a bit of a pretense to be the emperor at this point, isn't life just about pretending to be forced, this temptation is great!

Pang Ji felt a little speechless, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the Jiaozhi people are the children who scatter wealth?" Use my Da Song territory to invite people to buy people's hearts, and they are generous......"

worked hard to build a place, and in the end it was given away in vain.

To say that there is no bigger plan in this, the dogs don't believe it.

Sang Lun shook his head with some disdain, and said: "It is said that the Jiaozhi people still want to conquer Yongzhou, Qinzhou and other places, and they want to be in the bag of the entire southwest!" The Jiaozhi people have made such a big move, so they naturally won't take the small Xipingzhou in their eyes. ”

Xiao Ran also laughed and said: "Jiaozhi people haven't woken up, do they still want to fight Yongzhou and Qinzhou?" Why are they! ”

Everyone also looked at each other.

Laughter resounded in the lobby.

It's like a little monkey coming to a tiger and saying, I'm going to take your territory.

The tiger does not get angry, it only finds it funny.

In the official office, only Qin Wei didn't smile, just looked down at the map, and his face gradually became solemn.

Pang Ji put away his smile and asked, "But is it inappropriate?" ”

Qin Wei looked at everyone, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we despise the Jiaozhi people!" ”

He didn't say 'you', he used us.

This is the art of language, which gets to the point again without offending people.

Everyone put away their contemptuous smiles and gathered around the map.

Qin Wei'an pointed to Xipingzhou and said: "The assassination of the pacification envoy is a big deal, since you dare to plan, then something big must happen, otherwise they won't take the risk...... Cochin should be ready for a major invasion. ”

What?!

The crowd exclaimed.
