He naturally knows that in order to save Anshi City, the Royal Court has deployed more than 200,000 troops here, accounting for one-third of the country's military strength. In addition to the troops lost in Liaodong City, Baiyan City and other places, there are also troops in order to save Anshi City.
The soldiers stationed in the hinterland such as Bisha City to rescue them, there are probably less than 200,000 troops left in the country now.
It was because Gao Zhi knew this that he didn't dare to report the situation here to Wang Ting. Once Wang Ting knew that Anshi City had suffered such a defeat, it would be fine if they couldn't send reinforcements, and they would send him back to hold him accountable.
Gao Zhi felt that none of his brothers could replace him. If he could not defend Anshi City, then the others would not be able to, so he would rather go all the way to the dark side.
As one of the leaders, Nesa naturally knew that among the several princes, only the second prince was of great use. If other princes were replaced, the situation in Anshi City would probably be even worse.
Moreover, it is taboo to change players before the formation.
Nasa rubbed his forehead with a headache. When he left the house, his back was hunched, as if he had aged ten years.
Bai Shan and the others were arranged in a small courtyard. The courtyard was a bit low, and the situation in the courtyard could be seen from the outside.
However, the courtyard walls of the houses in this area are not very high.
Bai Shan took a look and then went in. The guards pulled the carriage and horses in.
They had no chance to give away some of the gold, silver and jewels they wanted to give to Gao Zhi. Bai Shan didn't even offer to give them, so they dragged them all over.
At this time, the boxes from the car were unloaded and moved into the house.
Bai Shan stood in the yard, looked around, smiled, turned around and asked the official who entertained him, "I wonder if there is a kitchen here?"
"Yes," the official was not sure about the second prince's attitude towards them, so although his face was expressionless, he did not dare to offend him and said, "It's in the back, does the envoy want to see it?"
Bai Shan nodded with a smile, went to the kitchen and looked around and said: "I come from Shu, and I have no other hobbies in my life except eating. I heard that Anshi City's short white pastry is extremely delicious. It's a pity that I haven't been here for many days."
I have used it before. I wonder if your lord can find a cook who is good at this for me?"
The official frowned slightly.
Bai Shan took out a purse and stuffed it into him, and said with a smile: "As I wish in my life, I don't know if I will be able to go back on my mission this time. I am happy every day. Please be more accommodating."
The official touched it and found a few round ones. Although he did not open them, he guessed that they were pearls, so he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, but I will only invite people here to buy the kind...
"
"I can still afford this little money," Bai Shan smiled and saluted, "Thank you, sir."
So the junior official left and went directly to the chef's house in a restaurant with his people, and soon he was picked up by someone.
The chef knelt in front of Bai Shan tremblingly.
In front of the officials, Bai Shan didn't show much expression. He just said to the chef: "I'm a little hungry. Since I'm here, let's make lunch first."
He tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "It's getting late now, so just make whatever you want. I want to eat some white puff pastry tonight."
The chef trembled and said: "Noble, noble, there is no food at the moment."
The whole city is at war, and no one goes out for anything. They basically eat plain porridge, and they haven't eaten vegetables for several days.
Bai Shan frowned in distress, "What should I do? I just love this food."
The junior official frowned, kicked the chef and asked, "Can't you buy it? Then where does the food we eat every day in the council come from?"
Upon hearing this, the chef immediately said: "There are still some people who have planted and raised some things in the city, but they are just going out now..."
The official was speechless.
Bai Shan looked at Daji.
Daji took out a piece of gold and gave it to the official.
The junior official only glanced at it, then calmly put it in his hand, lowered his eyes and said: "Don't worry, envoy, I will make arrangements. When the time comes, I will give him a sign and he will be able to walk in the city."
Bai Shan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the chef: "Who else is there in your family? Can you cook? Or do you know any good cooks? Find a few more people in my courtyard.
"No, you have to buy groceries and cook, but I'm afraid you won't have enough time."
He turned to look at Daji, "Daji."
Daji said expressionlessly: "Our young master has to have lunch every day, and breakfast is a must. Breakfast must include pasta. It is best to have a bowl of millet porridge. Millet porridge nourishes the stomach. In addition, there should be a bowl of goat milk."
, the milk needs to be boiled with tea leaves to remove the smell, and then add some sugar to brew; it is necessary to use tea now. We have brought the tea ourselves, and there are five kinds. Generally, our young master uses hooded stone flowers for tea in the morning. This tea is small and is only for personal use.
Don’t use it wrong.”
"For snacks, you can make what you are good at, preferably from your local Anshi city. If you need anything, just tell us and we will give you money to buy it."
Daji just had the words "We are not short of money" engraved on his face.
After talking about morning tea, Daji continued: "Lunch will be served at noon. You have to prepare it in advance. One cold, one soup and three dishes are the most basic. As I said, make what you are good at. It is best if our young master has not eaten it.
It’s passed, but the soup must be there and as delicate as possible.”
"Our young master is going to have afternoon tea at Shenshi. The tea will be the purple bamboo shoot tea and Yangxian tea we brought. For snacks, let's serve the small white pastries first this afternoon and order the rest later. If there are guests coming, then
Just soak in the white dew of Xishan Mountain and the stone flowers of Xianya,"
"Supper is eaten during the You hour. It is the same standard as lunch. The kitchen must be turned on all the time. Although it is not suitable to eat at night, our young master is still young and is growing. He may be hungry at any time. He called
Then the kitchen won’t run out of food.”
Daji lowered his eyes and looked at the chef, "Do you remember?"
The chef nodded blankly and sighed in his heart, who is this? There are so many exquisite things, even more exquisite than the Nisa he has seen.
Not to mention the minor officials on the side, even Xue Gui was dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at Bai Shan.
Daji didn't just talk, he immediately led the chef out, opened a box, took out five boxes of tea leaves, taught him how to identify tea leaves, and even gave him a bag of fine salt, "Your salt master may
If you are not used to it, use this to cook."
The chef opened it and took a look. What he saw was white and thin fine salt. He twisted it and tasted a few. It tasted salty in the mouth, with almost no bitter taste.
Chef:……
The junior official watched the whole process, and now he was sure that this envoy... came from a wealthy family and was not the wronged master.
So he lowered his eyes to cover his expression.
The chef's heart was racing, and he smiled flatteringly at Daji and said: "Sir, my mother-in-law and son can cook, and they can also help the younger ones. Do you think I can call them to help?"
Daji nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, but your hands and feet should be clean. Our young master likes to be clean and doesn't like unclean people."
"Don't worry, don't worry, they all love to be clean."
Junior Officer: ...What do you need to be clean when you go to the battlefield?
However, this envoy was fair and fair, his face was as white as a ball of powder, and he had an awe-inspiring temperament that made people dare not offend him. His official uniform was neat and clean, and he seemed to be a very clean person.
