In Ji Yan's Young Master's Kitchen.
After Ji Yan's expansion, Young Master Restaurant, Young Master Hotel, Young Master Bookstore, Young Master Medical Hall, Young Master Treasure Pavilion, and Young Master Recruitment Hall were built next to Young Master's Kitchen.
In Gongzi Restaurant, the guests and the host sat down. King Chu and Xiong Shang did not reveal their identities.
Ji Yan had no choice but to treat them as distinguished guests. Today, he gathered a crowd to welcome them.
Beside him were the big corporations accompanying him. Opposite him were King Chu, Xiong Shang, and the accompanying personnel from the Chu Country.，In order to show his solemnity, Ji Yan personally cooked for King Chu and Xiong Shang, filling the table with delicious dishes.
"It's said that Luoyi's fine wine is famous throughout the world. Today, I'm here personally, so I must have a good taste." Lord Chu smiled and said,
Chu Shang reminded his father,"Young Master, my father has just fallen ill. Can I drink?"
Ji Yan smiled and said,"It doesn't matter. With me here, I can let your father have a few drinks."
In history, the food of the Great Zhou Dynasty was mainly cooked and roasted. Stir-fried vegetables only appeared in the Song Dynasty.
How can cooking and roasting ingredients be as comfortable as frying
This kind of stir-fried dish was definitely not to be spread out. Ji Yan cooked it personally.
Fried mutton, roasted chicken legs, roasted goose, roasted duck, stir-fried bean sprouts, braised pork, pork ribs, steamed egg, steamed bowl, pickled fish, egg, preserved egg, carp and tofu soup.
In Luo Yi, there were no bear paws. Since there was a large pot of steamed pork trotters in front of Lord Chu, he had no choice but to eat it.
Lord Chu laughed.
The people of Chu are all barbarians. They don't eat as delicately as the people of Yuzhou. Please don't laugh at them.
Ji Yan smiled and said,
"You are guests from afar, and Xiong Shang is my elder brother. Uncle, please eat however you want."
Lord Chu was a little polite at first, but after eating a few times, his mouth didn't stop moving, and his chopsticks didn't stop moving. In the end, he began to eat directly with his hands.
Lord Chu said,"What is this? It tastes different from bear paws. It tastes exceptionally delicious."
Ji Yan smiled and said,"This is pork trotters. It's rich in colloid, which is very good for the skin."
In the beginning, Lord Chu was still commenting on the food, but after that, he started eating!
Ji Yan used a retorting process to make the wine. This wine looked especially clear, and the alcohol content was generally higher than the wine of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the same time.
Lord Chu had just fallen ill and did not dare to drink too much. He tasted a few mouthfuls and felt particularly comfortable.
Xiong Shang was an old customer. He didn't say anything and just started eating. He started to use a big bowl of wine. When he was almost done drinking, he said to Ji Yan,"I sent you 2000 slaves. Among these 2000 slaves, 1000 of them can be used to plant rice. They are all skilled slaves."
"There are also 500 slaves. They are older, but they are all experienced craftsmen."
"There are also 500 female slaves. They are all young and beautiful women. Young Master can let them be your concubines or make some textile products. These are all personally taught by Brother Yu."
"Other than that, I would like to ask you to give me a few swords."
"Last time, I brought that sword to show off my skills. It gave me a lot of face. You can get one for me too. I want to take the rest home and use it on someone else."
Ji Yan said,"This is a small matter. Let's eat and drink first. There's no hurry."
Xiong Shang put down his chopsticks and grabbed the plate of Red Braised Meat beside him.
The King of Chu slapped Xiong Shang's hand away and said,"Son, this piece of meat belongs to me. Don't fight for it anymore."
Lord Chu directly took the red braised pork with both hands and ate it heartily.
The king of Chu ate more than half of it and handed the rest of the braised pork to his ministers. He said,"You guys try it too."
There was an old man sitting at the head of the table. He was the priest of Chu, Bu Yi.
This old man, Bo Yi, had been reading Ji Yan's face the entire time. His hands were not idle either. He was using his turtle shell to divine by the side. He wanted to confirm if this young man was the legendary deity in the nursery rhymes.
At this moment, Bu Yi saw the food that King Chu had ordered his servant to bring over. He thought to himself,'I've never seen it before. It looks square and has distinct layers. A layer of skin, a layer of fat, and a layer of lean meat. It's very appetizing."
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man, a duke of the Chu royal family. His name was Surrender.
When he saw the meat, he thought, What's so strange about this meat? What's so good about me eating meat every day in Chu Land? However, when he saw the meat that was crystal clear and beautiful, he casually pinched a piece with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mani felt that the red braised pork was soft, fragrant, and crispy. It melted in his mouth.
"Big brother, this meat isn't tasty, let little brother eat it."
Surrender to Bu Yi
There was no doubt that there was no silver here.
When the crafty Bo Yi saw this, he grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste was incomparably fresh and fragrant. He had never eaten such a delicacy before.
When he saw that a piece was missing, he was furious. He immediately grabbed the tray with his hand and wanted to grab the remaining meat.
The two of them were a little torn
King Chu turned his head and berated. The two of you are also knowledgeable and talented people. If you act like this at this banquet, you will really lose the face of our Chu land.
The two of them quickly stood up and cupped their hands. We had just arrived in Yuzhou and liked this delicious food very much. We couldn't help but lose our composure.
As he spoke, he glanced at King Chu from the corner of his eye. He was delighted. King Chu was not much better.
Lord Chu's mouth was full of oil, and his hands were dripping with oil.
Lord Chu couldn't help but lick his lips.
Bu Yi and Subduing stared at the dishes on Lord Chu's table.
Ji Yan said with a smile and instructed the maidservants to serve these two gentlemen a few more dishes.
While the two of them were fighting, there were two other people at the table. One of them was from the Duke's family of Chu. His name was Jinghe and Zhaoping. They were both big surnames of Chu.
The two of them were furious when they saw Bu Yi and Yishou eating. They smiled and said,
"It's just a few dishes, and you two actually tampered with it. Come, let's try it."
The two of them didn't use chopsticks. They directly pinched a piece with their hands and put it into their mouths.
The two of them had surprised, happy, and excited expressions on their faces.
Zhao Ping grabbed a plate of pork ribs and wanted to eat it directly.
Jing He said," I didn't hit you. You're all high officials of the country. It's too outrageous to embarrass people in Yuzhou."
Jing He picked up the dishes beside him and ate them without using chopsticks. There was fried mutton beside him.
The mutton entered his mouth and was extremely smooth.
The four of them looked at each other and said," Let's go to the roof next door. Don't let the people of Yuzhou see us and laugh at us."
The other three agreed. The four of them asked the servants to help move the food on the table to the next room.
As soon as they entered the house, the four of them began to snatch the food.
The room was filled with banging sounds.
The king of Chu ate so well that he couldn't care less about his ministers.
。
Just as they were eating, they smelled the fragrance of wine. The attendant poured a cup of wine for the guests of Chu.
Ji Yan called the rice wine water wine, and the wine made from kaoliang wine strong wine.
Ji Yan said with a smile. Taste it all
Divination Yi, surrender, Jinghe. Zhao Ping poured a bowl in front of him. He was impatient and immediately drank it. He almost suffocated to death after taking a sip.
Instantly, her face turned red.
Zhao Ping thought to himself, This wine is so powerful.
Give in to a batch of wine jugs. This is good wine.
Bo Yi said angrily,"
"Let's put it this way, we'll split it evenly."
Jing He called out to the maids beside him and asked them to pour wine for us.
The four of them looked at the wine in their bowls and filled them up! Continue! Continue.
The corporations who accompanied him didn't care even if they saw it. They had also come from this state.
At this moment, there was an attendant standing outside the hotel door and watching. He did not dare to come in. Later, he could not wait any longer and asked the attendant at the door to inform him that he was looking for Zhao Da.
Zhao Da nodded at Ji Yan and walked towards the door. The attendant at the door handed Zhao Da a bamboo tube.
Zhao Fa opened the bamboo tube and took out the paper.
It says that he is from the State of Qin. There will be friends visiting in the next few days. Please make the appropriate arrangements.
The person who wrote the letter was a noble from the State of Qin who had some business dealings with Zhao Dayou.
Zhao Da did not dare to be negligent. He turned around and returned after giving a few instructions to the attendant.
Zhao Da returned to the table and continued eating.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, he saw that the few people from Chu Country were drunk.
Ji Yan arranged for the servants to carry them to the company's hotel.
Zhao Da laughed as he walked to Ji Yan's side and whispered into his ear.
"These few days, a friend from the State of Qin will come to visit Young Master."
"What do you think, Young Master?"
Since he was Zhao Da's friend, Ji Yan would definitely receive him. Zhao Da would just arrange the rest.
Zhao Da cupped his hands and thanked Young Master.
Because Ji Yan was still young, he had always replaced wine with water. The others had already drunk so much that they could no longer walk. Ji Yan stood up and ordered a few guards to follow him to see the slaves from Chu.
Since they were in the carriage, they brought the guards out of the inner city gate and headed for Luoshui.
On both sides of the Luo River, a large city was built…Water City.
Ji Yan was going to reclaim the land here and grow all kinds of food.
The two to two thousand slaves from Chu were arranged to be in Water City.
Including the original 1000 slaves that Ji Yan had, he now had 3000 slaves in his hands.
As soon as Ji Yan arrived, he saw Guo Tong, Ying Yinhua, and Ji Gongshi walking over together. He bowed and said,
"We didn't know that Young Master had come. We didn't know. Please forgive us."
Ji Yan smiled.
"Where are the slaves sent by Chu today? Bring me to take a look.
Guo Tong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ji Yan down from the carriage. The four of them headed there together.
The slaves from Chu State were organized in batches for pre-job training. Then, they would be distributed clothes and had designated houses to live in at night. Considering that winter was coming, Ji Yan had forged a large number of heating stoves in the water city to allow this slave to survive the winter safely.
First, he saw 500 young female slaves. The women from the south were petite and delicate.
From afar, one could see that among the 500 female slaves, there was a female slave who was particularly eye-catching. She was not an ordinary woman, but a lady of a noble family.
At this moment, they were eating. Each of them held a pancake in their hands and a bowl in front of them.
The bowl was filled with millet porridge.
This woman was nibbling on the biscuit and drinking the congee with great effort.
Suddenly, Ji Yan's heart skipped a beat. He waved his hand and summoned his servant. He took off his luxurious clothes and changed into a set of clothes made of coarse cloth. Then, he smeared some mud on his face and quietly approached the woman. He called out,"Sister, I'm hungry."
Shi Jing said,"Young Master, what are you doing?"
"I'm just interested in her."
"Young Master saw that she was pretty and went over to get close to her."
After saying that, Guo Tong grinned and turned to look at the others.
Yin Hua looked up at the sky while Ji Gongshi turned his head to look into the distance.
Shi Jing said leisurely,"Be careful with your words!" Be careful of what you say.
Guo Tong hurriedly covered his mouth and hid to the side, not daring to speak again.
Ji Yan, who was beside the woman, tried his best to squeeze out a tear and sobbed,"Sister, I'm hungry. Can you let me eat some of the pancakes in Ji Yan's hand?"“”
This woman came from the south, so she couldn't understand Ji Yan's voice. However, from Ji Yan's expression and actions, she could tell that he wanted to eat the pancake in her hand. The woman handed the pancake to Ji Yan and smiled. Eat it.
Ji Yan took the biscuit and bit it with great effort.
She finally managed to stuff the pancake into her stomach, but she looked at her stomach again, indicating that she was still hungry.
The woman hesitated for a moment before handing him the congee.
Ji Yan drank half a bowl and couldn't take it anymore. He handed it to the woman and said,"Sister, you drink."
The woman finished her bowl of congee and looked at Ji Yan with a smile,"Where did you come from?"
"I'm a new slave and will be assigned to farm there later. What about you, sister?"
That female bitterly smiled. We were slaves from Chu and were sent here by Chu. These women were my clansmen.
The woman looked at Ji Yan and said,"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. I'll help you if I can." My name is Tao Nu.
Someone shouted from the other side. Tao Nu said to Ji Yan,"Little brother, big sister is leaving."
Ji Yan showed his eight teeth and said with a smile, thanking his sister for the food.
Tao Nu waved her hand and thought, Poor child, you're already a slave at such a young age.
Ji Yan turned his body and returned to the front of the chariot.
