For such a table of distinguished guests, even if there is no more food, there must be one!
Fortunately, Xu Dajun and others asked the kitchen to set aside a table of dishes early in the morning, originally so that they could have a good meal in the evening to celebrate the success of today's opening.
Now I don’t even care about eating it myself, so I quickly serve it to the distinguished guests!
The little fanboy Dong Shuangqi served the food himself, and the others were also busy. At this time, what kind of waiters are needed?
Just kidding, the more distinguished guests are none other than Jiang Zhoumu and the patron king!
At this time, five days had passed since the day when the patron king's army entered the city. Unexpectedly, the patron king was still in Yiyang Mansion.
Not to mention the mood of all the young men watching their idol heroes up close, it was indescribably exciting!
Xu Dajun even liked to introduce hot pot and how to eat it. He was responsible for mixing the dipping sauce for the patron king, and even had a few words with the patron king at close range!
Of course, he was relatively calm throughout the whole process. Although he was a little excited to see the prince, who was also known as the God of War and a hero among everyone, it was not to the point where Dong Shuangqi's heartbeat could be heard even through the two people.
In short, despite showing off, he still has some skills.
Therefore, it was his calmness and calmness that was different from others that made the patron king pay more attention to him. Later, he specifically pointed him forward and asked his name.
Dong Shuangqi's eyes turned red with envy. Xu Dajun calmly stepped out of the queue, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my name is Xu Dajun."
The patron king said: "I heard that this hot pot came from you? The soup base is bright red and spicy. Is it called hot pot material? Eating it makes people feel comfortable and sweaty, but it is full of flavor. It is excellent.
, I wonder what is put in here?”
Old man Xu showed kindness in his early years and saved a man who fainted at the door. This man with yellow hair and green eyes turned out to be a foreigner.
"Chili pepper?" The patron king raised his eyebrows, "What is this? I have never heard of it."
If it were someone else who asked this question, even if it was Jiang Zhoumu, the prefect of Ye, Xu Dajun could still evade the matter. Considering that the brothers behind him are all partners, I believe he would not hold him back.
I was busy with the autumn harvest, so I didn't pay attention to the peppers. I'll wait and see when I'm done. The peppers will change color, and all the green ones have turned into red.
The patron king can blurt out the words hot pot ingredients. He must have heard of them before coming here.
As calm as Xu Dajun, his heart suddenly tightened when he heard the words of the patron king.
He just said, why are all the bureaucrats gathered together tonight to have hot pot together?
Later, he was afraid that he would die on the road, so he told me about this matter, and gave me the pamphlet and the bag of dried chili peppers and vegetable seeds. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the old man thought to himself, this is the best thing after all.
If it is passed on to future generations, what use will it have in the future?
Unexpectedly, I actually called my grandpa to talk to him!
More than two months ago, our family fled outside the city of Yiyang Prefecture. Magistrate Ye loved and sympathized with the people, and did not dislike us refugees. He settled us properly, allocated land to us, and helped us build a house.
He's not good at writing essays, but making up stories. Who hasn't told more lies than he can count on a pair of fingers since he was a child?
"This has happened for many years, and none of our family members know about it! Only the two old people know that a few months ago, the family was without food and water. There was no other choice but to flee. There was nothing else to do along the way.
It doesn't matter if I wear it or not, my grandfather has always protected this thing tightly.
Speaking of this, Xu Dajun's face showed just the right amount of innocence and satisfaction.
He is a little-known yellow-haired boy. How dare you fool him? How many heads are there enough to cut off?
And the hint of coercion in the patron king's words made it impossible for Xu Dajun to do what he wanted.
Saying this, he swept away Jiang Zhoumu and others.
The life at home was very hard at that time, and even his family could not fill their stomachs. But old man Xu saw that these people were really hungry, so he gave him a bowl of rice.
Old man Xu was illiterate, so he put away the pamphlet. But he was very curious about the vegetable seeds. For people in this kind of land, seeds are the lifeblood.
All in all, it's quite bizarre.
This story may not be long or short, it may not have any flaws, and even if it does have flaws, it’s hard to say what’s wrong with it.
Xu Dajun was nervous and could only give in at the moment.
But he asked him to see him tomorrow.
Ever since, the story with Old Man Xu as the protagonist was narrated by him.
Xu Dajun doesn't care whether these people believe it or not, but he firmly believes it anyway. Even if a lie detector comes, it won't be able to detect that he is lying.
I was shocked when I flipped through it, oh, there are all the recipes that can make money! Including this hot pot ingredient!
No, as soon as I thought about how to make it, my family actually made it! I didn’t expect it, it’s pretty good!”
So I planted a ridge in my backyard vegetable garden according to the planting method taught by the natives. The seeds were planted one after another every day, and white flowers bloomed and green fruits appeared one after another. The fruits looked like this
I've never seen them before, one by one.
Xu Dajun said: "Back to your lord, this is a long story, and it has to start with an incident in the early years. Please let me tell you one by one..."
This is what you come prepared for.
Old man Xu picked some and cooked them, but the taste was not very good.
If the superior wants something from you, it's just a matter of saying, don't give it to him? Do you want to lose your head? Report it to the official and ask for asylum from the government? Your brain is crazy, are you kidding me?
These people also shook their heads in confusion.
The countryman was grateful for Old Man Xu's kindness but had nothing to repay, so before leaving, he gave Old Man Xu a pamphlet and a pack of vegetable seeds that Old Man Xu had never seen before.
So, what else do others not believe?
Therefore, Xu Dajun didn't know whether his backer Wang believed it or not. Anyway, he looked at him for a long time and didn't say anything questioning.
This thing was so strange that it frightened old man Xu. He didn't dare to eat it or plant it. He dried the seeds and sealed them in sacks. He also collected the remaining vegetable seeds and never planted them again.
Haven't planted it yet.
But this is a patron king, and all the officials present have to act like grandsons in front of him.
At that moment, thoughts were running through my mind, and I opened my mouth and said, "Back to my lord, the reason why this hot pot ingredient is spicy is because there is something called chili pepper in it."
But if we want to gain a foothold here, we can't just sit idle and wait for government relief. In my grandfather's words, isn't that hopeless? So, this pamphlet comes in handy.
The nobles came and went in a hurry, and many of the dishes on the table were not touched. It is not difficult to see that the nobles did not come simply to eat hot pot.
After such a fuss, everyone was starving. After seeing off the nobles, they quickly cooked up another pot, took the remaining dishes on the table and heated them up, and then asked the chef to fry a large pot of fried rice and serve it.
Fill your stomach and drink tea to digest food.
It was already completely dark, and there was only one reason why the teenagers still refused to leave.
