Chapter 119: Reaction
The negotiation took place in the courtyard of the Bauhinia Mercenary Group, and all the restaurants did not expect that this time Mo Hongxian and the two major restaurants would make such a big move, or rather, it would be such a big move by Dingbei Hou.
The secret recipe for selling them two dishes is just an introduction, but the bigger one is behind, Mo Hongxian actually said that he would provide more than a dozen kinds of delicacies, and it was not for sale, but for cooperation.
As soon as this food festival opened, the market in the food industry has been opened to the entire empire, and Bauhinia wants to take a share of all the restaurants. But they really like this kind of cooperation, and it's obviously a win-win situation.
Subsequently, Mo Hongxian negotiated with nearly 100 restaurants for nearly a night, and then finalized all the details.
When they were negotiating, Jiang Xingchen also began to be busy in Qingshan Village, and he was ultimately responsible for the preparation of various delicacies. In addition to continuing to snatch food from the bees' mouths, he also had to make distilled spirits, make sausages, and teach the students selected by Beihou from the Imperial Academy to play the guzheng.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to take care of farming, otherwise he wouldn't even have to sleep.
Mei'er and Xin'er were not idle, Jiang Xingchen taught them the skills of rolling skin, let them practice hard, and the food festival could be used.
When the two little girls heard this, they were all eager to try, not to mention the attraction of the food festival, that is, they could help Jiang Xingchen, which also made them extremely happy. In particular, Mei'er already has a foundation, learns very quickly, and can already use two rolling pins at the same time in a few days.
In the following days, Qingshan Village was lively again, and a group of chefs from major restaurants came from Hongyuan City to accept Jiang Xingchen's guidance, and the stove in the kitchen of the lord's mansion has never been extinguished......
At this time, the news that Hongyuan City will hold its first food festival on May 20 has spread throughout the major territories of the empire.
"More than a dozen new cuisines that everyone can enjoy, a completely different way of eating. On May 20th, Hongyuan City will be a sea of jubilation, a festive festival, and the new repertoire of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe will help you with the fun, Morning Dawn, Concubine Xuan...... Show around the clock, and in a way you can't imagine performing!
This kind of propaganda white silk was sent to well-known restaurants in all major territories, and then quickly reached the ears of every foodie.
The first to move was of course the big restaurants everywhere, and they sent out chefs almost immediately, and the secret recipe of Hongyuan City was too big. Whether it is the method of stewing meat, or the later called flower pheasant, it is a must, and this time more than a dozen dishes are launched in a row, which is simply fascinating.
Subsequently, many foodies also went out. Especially those who have already tasted the food of the two major restaurants in Hongyuan City. Hearing about more than a dozen new food launches, you won't want to miss such an opportunity. Haven't you heard. Everyone can enjoy it, which means that you don't have to reserve a seat as usual and wait for half a month.
There are also a large number of people who are rushing to the new repertoire of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe, and they are still singing with laughter and spring blossoms. In their hearts, Bauhinia's music. Absolutely all boutiques.
There are many people who are attracted by the completely unimaginable way of acting......
In the imperial palace, after the Emperor Qiankun heard Feng Xuanzhang's proclamation, his eyebrows moved again and again.
Since I knew what happened to the Marquis of Dingbei in Qi Yueling. He had already judged that this matter was not simple, Dingbei Hou had a problem, and Jiang Xingchen was implicated, then his previous efforts to promote the strategy would be wasted.
But he had no way to intervene, the empire suffered from severe cold and snow, and the Hengtong Commercial Bank got grain seeds from Xuanyuan Tianzong, no matter how it was said, it was also meritorious, and he couldn't meddle because they didn't sell the given Beihou. Then he, the Emperor of Qiankun, is too down!
For several days, he has been pondering this matter and how to resolve this counterattack of the stubborn forces. When he was unprepared, he didn't expect Dingbei Hou to give him such a play.
"Dingbei Hou actually held the first food festival at this time, what is he going to do?" Emperor Qiankun frowned.
"I don't know what the intention of Dingbei Hou is!" Feng Xuanzhang said: "He has almost given invitations to all the big nobles in the imperial capital, I, the marshal, the old marquis, Mr. Huangshi, Mr. Qingyun, and even Yuan Xixuan are all listed!"
"Then go, you can also help me see, what did Dingbei Hou get here, didn't he see that people were deliberately targeting him in Qi Yueling?"
After a pause, Emperor Qiankun continued: "You go and inform the marshal and arrange the work in advance!"
"Yes!" Feng Xuanzhang bowed and slowly retreated.
When his figure left the main hall, Emperor Qiankun muttered: "It won't be that kid again......"
When Emperor Qiankun was puzzled, the aristocratic management department, Yuan Xixuan looked at the invitation in his hand and sneered: "Food Festival, Dingbei Hou still has the heart to engage in this thing!"
Yuan Hao said on the side: "Don't he come up with any countermeasures, right?"
"Fart's countermeasures!" Yuan Xixuan snorted disdainfully: "Does he think that he can get the help of other lords by sending out a few food recipes...... How can the reward for territorial expansion be so easy to get, they are too big in the limelight during the New Year song and dance performance!"
"Oh!" Yuan Hao nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Father, should we go then?"
"Go, why not! I guess the other lords will go too...... Isn't it a very comforting thing to look at Dingbei Hou's expression after the food festival is over!"
"Hahahaha...... That's true! At that time, you didn't see that Dingbei Hou was in Qi Yue to lead that aggrieved look, this time it is estimated to be even more exciting than last time!"
At this time, in the waterfront city led by Qi Yue, Mu Shaodong listened to the report of his subordinates, and also smiled: "There is no harvest, no matter what they think, it is useless, food festival, hehe......"
"Young master's clever calculation, if something happens to the territory of the Marquis of Dingbei, it will definitely be suppressed by the old forces, let's shake out Jiang Xingchen's digging of the mountain in advance, and the development strategy of the Qiankun Emperor will be dealt a fatal blow! It is inevitable that the contradictions between the two sides will deepen...... If this happens, the elder will definitely transfer the young master back!" the subordinate smiled with a sycophantic smile.
"Hmm!" Mu Shaodong nodded with satisfaction, patted his subordinate on the shoulder, and after being beaten twice, this subordinate really had a long memory.
"You prepare, let's go see the food festival too!" Mu Shaodong said.
"Uh!" his subordinates were stunned for a moment, and persuaded him: "Young master, we have offended Dingbei Hou so badly that he didn't even give us an invitation......
"Stupid, you pig brains!" Mu Shaodong slapped his subordinates on the head and said loudly: "We used to taste food, we used to play, we went to relax, and we used to be paralyzed, can we use Dingbei Hou to give an invitation!"
"Yes, yes......" The subordinate hurriedly shrank his head and retreated......
In the middle of May, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the sky and the earth are covered with green. Those grain seeds that have just been planted for a short time, have also drilled out of the shoots, growing rapidly, there are more than ten centimeters in a few days, and the Hou of Dingbei can call it a miracle, he has been in Hongyuan City for so many years, and he has never seen such a situation, even if the spring ploughing is not delayed, the wheat seedlings will not grow this kind of Cheng dù.
In Hongyuan City, almost all the people in the city have moved, and the civilians who usually live at the bottom of the society are smiling one by one, too many work opportunities are waiting for them, the transportation of materials, the construction of the stage, and the sudden increase in manpower demand for all business shops.
In particular, the demand for vegetables has increased greatly in major restaurants, and many people have rushed into the field to pick fresh wild vegetables that have just grown in spring.
Aristocrats, wealthy people, merchants, are also full of joy, the holding of the food festival, represents a large increase in the consumer population, they have begun to buy in large quantities.
For a time, Hongyuan City seemed to have become a big bazaar, with countless people coming in and out every day, which was much more lively than the Spring Festival song and dance preselection.
And at this time, Jiang Xingchen had already brought Mei'er and Xin'er to Hongyuan City, this time he was the most bitter, the advertising slogan was written by him, and when he saw Dingbei Hou and the old man stunned, he was really sè for a while.
But now, he regrets it! He has to guide almost all of these tasks. New cuisine, new music, and new forms of performance, honeycomb, distilled spirits, sausages...... God knows that his fundamental purpose at that time was just to give the opponent a counterattack and let Dingbei Hou vent his evil anger.
"Isn't this a problem for myself, I knew that pretending to end better than not ending well, why did I always get carried away and my tail high......!
Jiang Xingchen had a bitter face and wailed silently, Zhao Danqing still looked at him with a look of adoration, saying that he was cheating, it was ...... Jiang Xingchen couldn't wait to punch his face into a bun.
However, he doesn't even have that time now! Although the problem of food has been solved, the music and the new performance form have not yet been completely solved!
After taking the academy of the Imperial Academy into the musical instrument workshop and choosing the guzheng and flute, he plunged headlong into the creation of a new program......
Before I knew it, it was May 17th, and people had already arrived.
Before arriving at Hongyuan City, the green wheat seedlings that could not be seen at a glance came into view. Immediately, the people who came from afar were dumbfounded.
"My second Ao, this is the situation of Shenma, why does the wheat here grow so well? The wheat over there has just budded!"
"Could it be that they didn't delay spring ploughing, it's unlikely, Hongyuan City is one of the hardest hit areas!"
"No, even if you don't delay spring ploughing, it can't grow so well...... What we planted was Xuanyuan Tianzong's third-class grain seed, and hundreds of square meters were also sown before the beginning of May, but it was far worse than this!"
"There must be better food varieties in Hongyuan City, otherwise there is no way to explain it!"
"I remember that the lord said that the Marquis of Dingbei didn't even buy third-class grain...... Am I dazzled?"
All those who had come from the outer realms slowed down their hurried pace, turned back three times, and entered the city with a look of astonishment.
"Hehe, hey, they're all dumbfounded!" Dingbei Hou has been downstairs at the city gate, listening to everyone's talk, he can't suppress the smugness in his heart, and his beard is like a wave of water.
At this time, the few lords closest to Hongyuan City also arrived first. Dingbei Hou immediately changed his expression and greeted him with a sly face. (To be continued......)
