Chapter 61 Turtle
Yan Shiyi was quite upset. He had clearly told his sister on the way that the King of Li had bewitched his elder brother with a bowl of sweet and sour fish balls.
At that time, my sister scolded me, saying, "What kind of fish is so powerful? Does the King of Li really think that we Yan family members are ignorant?" But at this moment, her attitude changed drastically.
Yan Shiyilang didn't care about his grievances. He was worried about his beautiful sister going with the madman Li Wang! Moreover, he was going to the restaurant to tear down the banner with his elder brother's name on it.
The restaurant has been built. It is a simple wooden house with a large yard and a canopy. There are more than a dozen tables and dozens of benches.
With two large stoves and several tea stoves, a restaurant with unique frontier characteristics is ready.
It’s just that it hasn’t officially opened yet, and today is the first time we’re entertaining guests.
After being taught by Jin Sui, the two cooks became the head chefs.
The families and wives of the three soldiers stationed in the fields helped out, and because there were too many people, all the soldiers from the Black Feather Camp came to help.
Soon dinner was served, a big pot of stewed lamb, tomato fish balls and Dongpo pork.
There was also a chicken specially killed for entertaining the Yan family, stewed with dried mushrooms and potatoes.
Jinsui did not have the airs of a King of Li at all. He entertained Yan Shierniang and also entertained the angry Shiyilang.
Yan Shiyilang changed his words from "I will never eat a bite of his food" at the beginning, but when he smelled the aroma of meat, he changed his words to "I will give him face and eat a bite"! After eating, he tore down the banner, warned the King, and left immediately with his sister!
Then he took a bite of fish ball, a piece of Dongpo pork, and a bowl of mutton soup with noodles was placed in front of him. Since then, he has never raised his head.
“It smells so good!”
After thousands of years, the law of true fragrance still exists! Yan Shiyi's eating manners are quite elegant. As a young man from an aristocratic family, his eating manners are not bad.
The speed of grabbing food is faster than that of Black Tiger.
But he eats quickly and elegantly, using his chopsticks like he's dancing with swords.
Hei Hu ate quickly but rudely, and was afraid that the plate of Dongpo pork would be snatched away by Yan Shiyi, so he glared at him from time to time.
Although Yan Shier Niang's heart and eyes were all on King Li, she was still won over by the deliciousness of the sweet and sour fish balls, and unknowingly ate a full bowl of the soup and fish balls.
And she found that there were two vegetables on the table that she had never eaten before.
He deliberately found a topic to ask Jin Sui: "Your Majesty, what are these sweet and sour fruits and those sticky tubers? They have never been seen in Yandi."
Jin Sui smiled and said, "This is a specialty of our border town. It is a new crop. The quantity is small at the moment. When there is more, I will give some to you to take home."
Yan Twelve Niang shyly lowered her head and said, "Yeah."
What was rolling in my heart was that the prince wanted to give me something! Give me a peach, and I will give you a jade in return.
Although it's just some vegetables, it means a lot...
If Jin Sui knew that a young girl in love would attack herself in this way, he would definitely find it unbelievable.
She looked at Yan Shiyilang who was eating the food with his head down, and called out, "Mr. Turtle."
Yan Shiyilang didn't even look up, as if the name called was not his.
It was Twelve Lady who pushed him: "The prince is calling you."
He let out an "ah" in confusion, and instantly realized the name that Jinsui had just called.
Thinking of her previous teasing of 'Turtle', she immediately said stiffly: "What is the matter, Your Majesty?"
Jin Sui asked with a smile, "Isn't Wugui here to help Zheng Pengpeng get revenge today?"
Shiyilang snorted: "Why should I help him get revenge? I'm here for myself."
Jinsui snapped his fingers: "Heihu, apologize to Mr. Turtle."
Black Tiger glared at him and said, "Mr. Turtle, I shouldn't have punched you in the face so hard."
Yan Shiyilang felt a chill: "Just call me Young Master Yan Shiyi. When I hear you guys calling me by my given name, I feel like you're scolding me!"
Jin Sui smiled and said, "Since Wugui accepted Heihu's apology, then there is no hatred or grudge between me and the Yan family?"
Twelve Lady said first: "Of course! Big brother has repeatedly praised the prince. The Yan family and the prince not only have no grudges, but are also friends."
She elbowed Yan Shiyi and said, "Say something, second brother."
Yan Shiyi muttered, stood up suddenly and pointed at the banner outside: "You have to take that down! How can you put my name, the head of the Yan family, so prominently there!"
Jin Sui raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Use Yan Jiulang's name, he is the spokesperson, and the fish balls are free anytime you come to eat them."
"He disagreed?"
Yan Shiyi was startled at first, then said ecstatically: "You mean, after registering my name, I can eat the food of this restaurant for free anytime I want?"
Jin Sui nodded: "Of course, any time the spokesperson comes to our house, he is a distinguished guest, and all the dishes on the menu can be tasted for free."
"Then don't use my elder brother's name, use my name, Yan Shiyilang!"
"Why would I be your salt substitute?"
"When it comes to eating, I'm a better eater than my big brother!"
Jinsui laughed wildly in his heart, saying that he was not smart!
A prominent figure in Yan area endorsed a restaurant, but he didn't ask for anything else but the food.
Jin Sui nodded and said, "Okay then! I will ask Wugui Wugui to write a banner for the restaurant personally, and I will give this old banner to Yan Jiulang."
After finishing their meal and unloading the goods, the Yan family said goodbye.
Jin Sui clearly felt that Twelve Niang didn't want to leave, but seeing that it was getting dark, how could he dare to let the female guest stay overnight! After sending the Yan family out of the city, Twelve Niang said reluctantly:
"I will bring medicine to the prince tomorrow."
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "No need, there is medicine in the barracks."
The wound on the back of my hand has healed by the time you delivered the medicine.
Twelve Lady's eyes rolled, and she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I will find out the reaction of the Zheng family tomorrow and tell the prince."
Jin Sui really couldn't refuse this, and she also wanted to find out some secrets of the Zheng family. The people sent by Wei Zhubo could only find out limited information.
She changed her attitude and said with a smile: "I am waiting for Miss Yan to come anytime."
After seeing off the brother and sister, Jin Sui happily counted the supplies sent by the Yan family with Cheng Yu and Wei Zhubo.
Together with the money given by the comprador before, there will be no shortage of food and fodder for the winter.
But what the border town is most worried about right now is not the food and supplies for the winter, but the revenge of the Zheng family and the city defense.
Jin Sui asked, "How much silver do we have left?"
Wei Zhubo did not even take the account book. He remembered every penny clearly: "There are still 6,320 taels of silver in deposit."
"Of this, three hundred and twenty taels are in cash, and six thousand taels are in banknotes."
Jin Sui held his chin in his hand and thought, "Send people to various states in Yan to secretly purchase pig iron. Buy as much as possible."
"Is there a blacksmith in the border town? If not, quietly invite a few blacksmiths into the city to prepare weapons and armor."
"Prepare plenty of bricks and stones to build the city wall."
"The day after tomorrow, Han Xing will go to the beach with me. It's almost autumn."
The latter sentence seemed to have nothing to do with it. What did going to the beach have to do with Jin Qiu? But Han Xing and the others didn't ask. They had already developed a habit of following the prince's instructions. Sometimes, if they asked too much, the prince would get angry and things would become troublesome.
The brown sugar incident is truly unforgettable.
If you ask "Where does it come from?" you won't be able to eat brown sugar.
