Wei and Jin cooks

Everyone understood at a glance that Zhao Hanzhang was talking about taking notes and making records, but in his heart he still respected Wang Huifeng's identity and treated him with the courtesy of a social acquaintance.

Otherwise, the two of them would not be sitting on top of Zhao Erlang.

When everyone was here, Tinghe asked people to serve the food.

The diet of the Jin Dynasty is still based on the sharing system, especially the banquet, which is basically one table and one table, or one table and two tables, each eating his own food.

The lamb scorpions stewed by Zhao Hanzhang and the braised mutton with beans and beans that she collaborated with Fu Tinghan were divided into bowls and plates, and served together with other dishes.

The porcelain bowls and plates are very exquisite, and they do not match Zhao Hanzhang's poverty at all. Naturally, they were not bought by Zhao Hanzhang, but left by the Zhao family.

Thanks to her grandfather for buying so much exquisite porcelain for the family, and thanks to her uncle for being able to preserve these porcelains during the war.

Anyway, having these sets of porcelain dishes for serving dinner tonight makes her banquet not so shabby.

Two sheep looked like a lot, but because there were so many people coming, including many generals with huge appetites, the meat seemed less.

But Zhao Hanzhang is a good cook. Their carefully prepared menu, even if the meat is only lamb and chicken, is extremely decent.

Grilled lamb, although there are only three pieces per dish; a big bowl of lamb scorpions and soup; stewed lamb with green beans; stir-fried lamb with garlic sprouts; and a dish of braised lamb that makes people salivate just by looking at it...

Seeing the delicious dishes on the table, even Ji Yuan couldn't help but think, Shijun looks very rich.

But he knew about Zhao Hanzhang's finances. The public account was already in deficit and he couldn't come up with the money. As for the private...

Ji Yuan couldn't help but glance up at Fu Tinghan, who was sitting next to her.

Zhao Ju guards the border of Yuzhou. Recently, Gou Chun has been guarding the border in Yanzhou. There have been conflicts between the two sides. Although Zhao Ju has restrained himself, no one knows when a fight will break out due to Gou Chun's amiable character.

But Zhao Ju looked like he had many soldiers, but not many horses. The most terrible thing was that he didn't have many armors.

Most of the elites of the Zhao family army were in the hands of Zhao Hanzhang, and a small number were led by Zhao Erlang. Zhao Ju's men were mostly small soldiers recruited from the refugees who were farming in Runan.

Although they have been practicing for a while and their momentum seems not weak, they can only bluff people on the surface. In a real fight, they are naturally not as good as Gou Xi's Yanzhou Army, not to mention that they don't even have battle armor.

Since the girl has money, she should prepare these things just in case.

Ji Yuan had a plan in mind, lowered his eyes and took a sip of soup with peace of mind.

Knowing that this soup was stewed by Zhao Hanzhang, he sincerely praised: "This soup is extremely delicious, and there is no smell of mutton at all."

An official from the governor's office who knew how to eat said: "This is Shangdang's mutton. I heard that the mutton north of Jinyang is fresh and tender, and it doesn't have the fishy smell of Zhongzhou mutton at all."

This official's name is Tang Ziping, a warehouse historian who mainly helps Ji Yuan manage warehouse supplies. He is from Luoyang. He is the top candidate in this year's talent recruitment examination in Luoyang. It was Xie Shi who took the initiative to invite people to participate in the examination.

He was somewhat famous in Luoyang. His most famous deed was that one winter, his mother was ill and needed fresh deer blood.

But at that time, no live deer was sold in Luoyang.

Deer were inherently valuable and non-nobles were not allowed to eat them. Even if they were available, it would be difficult for him to get one. He asked for deer everywhere but could not get it. In the end, he led his servants into the mountains and risked his life to catch a live deer.

There was heavy snow at that time and the mountain was closed. I heard that he was frozen when he came out. Later he fell ill and it took him half a year to recover.

As a result, his filial piety spread far and wide, and he had a good reputation in Luoyang.

But even so, in that year and the second year, he still failed to be selected because his family background was not obvious.

His arithmetic is good, and his management and scheduling skills are not bad. Since he became the history of Cang Cao, Mr. Ji rarely bothers Fu Tinghan anymore.

Zhao Hanzhang was always kind to talents. She smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, this sheep is from Shangdang."

She said: "There is a caravan who is very brave and dares to go to Bingzhou to purchase goods."

When Zhao Kuan heard this, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Zhao Hanzhang. It turned out that she also knew about this caravan.

Not only Zhao Hanzhang knew it, but many people present knew that Luoyang was really short of meat after all.

In the past two months, many caravans have come to Luoyang, but there are caravans from Yuzhou, Shu, and counties near Luoyang, and even from Liangjiang and Jiangnan, but there are no caravans from the north.

This caravan has entered Luoyang for the second time, and it has brought products from the Bingzhou area. It is difficult not to attract attention.

Xie Shi worriedly said: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou is now in the hands of the Han State. If merchants are allowed to enter Luo from Bingzhou, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the Han State from doing anything."

"But Bingzhou is also our land of Jin. Liu Yueshi is still in Jinyang. There are many Jin people there. We can't abandon them. As for the detailed work," Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Kuan, "I think County Magistrate Zhao should be able to take care of it." Good Luoyang, you won’t let this happen, right?”

Zhao Kuan straightened his body and responded solemnly, but he said that he did not have enough people under his command and begged Zhao Hanzhang to send him a few more helpers.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "You come and choose the person. Choose the right one and I will adjust it for you."

Zhao Kuan's current deputy is Wang Yifeng and Wang Siniang, but in fact there is still an important position vacant, that of county captain.

As for the county captain of Luoyang, this official position is not small, and many people's hearts are moved.

Chen Wu is different. He just listens to what these people say. The purpose of his coming here is to connect with Zhao Hanzhang and eat and drink. If she is willing to give him the money and food next month in advance, then Better.

But his eyes swept over the undisguised ambitions on everyone's faces, and he was still a little envious in his heart. Zhao Hanzhang had many useful people. In fact... there seemed to be nothing wrong with defecting to Zhao Hanzhang.

While nibbling on the sheep scorpion, he secretly glanced at Bei Gongchun. Even Bei Gongchun was willing to obey Zhao Hanzhang, and he was just a self-proclaimed general of a beggar army...

However, he had intentions, and Zhao Hanzhang didn't mention it, so he couldn't just rush it, right?

It seems that there are still too few people under him, and there is no shameless counselor. Otherwise, he should jump out to talk to Zhao Hanzhang about his surrender at this moment.

Chen Wu suppressed his thoughts and decided to talk about it later. This matter cannot be rushed and can be discussed in the long run.

Many people at the banquet this time were still observing filial piety. It was okay to eat meat, but drinking alcohol was not. Especially the Wang sisters, they were still in the period of filial piety, so Zhao Hanzhang did not serve wine.

Everyone just eats and drinks soup. Zhao Hanzhang encourages everyone to go to the streets with their families tomorrow to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, bask in the sun, get rid of the five poisons, and contribute their own strength to the people's livelihood and economy.

Of course, it also gives them a channel to communicate emotionally.

For Luoyang, Zhao Hanzhang was airborne. Here, from the officials to the lower level officials, yamen and village elders, they were all newly elected and did not know each other very well.

Zhao Hanzhang's banquet was just a chance for them to get in touch with each other. In the future, superiors and subordinates, as well as relevant departments, would be able to handle matters more quickly and efficiently.

So after dinner, everyone can take a walk in the garden and eat refreshments prepared by the cooks.

Bei Gongchun specially found Zhao Erlang to cultivate feelings.

See you tomorrow, I’ll make up for it tomorrow
