Wei and Jin cooks

Everyone has a love for beauty, but Zhao Hu is even more fond of it.

So in the evening, Zhao Hu rushed over and wanted to have dinner with Zhao Hanzhang.

Even Zhao Song and his son came to watch the fun, so what was originally an ordinary dinner for Wei Jie and Wang Yu turned into a small dinner.

Fortunately, Zhao Hu didn't come empty-handed. He had always disliked Zhao Hanzhang for not eating delicious food and being frugal, so he brought good wine and food when he came.

Everyone sat down at separate tables, and Zhao Hu proudly asked Wei Jie: "There are no such dishes in the south, right?"

Wei Jie glanced at it and nodded, "Yes, cooking and frying are still the main dishes in the south, and such dishes are rare. I heard that the new kitchen utensils in Yuzhou are iron pots. Cooking food in iron pots has a unique flavor."

Zhao Hu said: "This is the dish made in the iron pot. Sanniang is average in other ways, but she has some talent in eating. She has come up with many ways to eat it. I have tried them one by one. Now she is very popular in my restaurant. Welcome, if Mr. Wei feels that what her chef cooks is not to your taste, you can go to my restaurant to eat."

If Wei Jie is willing to go, he can definitely take away the business of the restaurant opposite, no, the entire street of restaurants.

Huh, Yu Sanlang still wants to fight with him in the ring, but he doesn't look like a bear. Is he worthy?

Wei Jie did not agree immediately, but looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Seventh Uncle, we are going back to Luoyang the day after tomorrow."

She asked one more question, "Do you want to go back with us?"

"No," Zhao Hu wasn't stupid. It would be okay if he was tricked once. What would happen if he was tricked again?

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Seventh Uncle, now is the time to sow winter wheat. Soon this wave of farming will be over. By then, the people will be idle at home and have nothing to do. It is a good time to spin and weave."

She said: "You also know that our yamen has limited manpower. Although we can organize people with a little effort, we are not as powerful as my uncle. If you are willing to go, the people of Luoyang will be happy and you can make a lot of money."

Zhao Hu sneered and said: "Your yamen has to keep accounts first to pay the wages. The money will not be paid until the collected cloth is sold. If you have to wait for such a long time, they will naturally be unable to do anything."

The settlement cycle was too long, and he was doing business with the yamen. Even though Zhao Hanzhang had a high reputation, the people were still a little worried. They felt that they were working in vain, so they were naturally not enthusiastic enough, but they did not delay the progress.

If the yamen asked them to spin and weave cloth, the efficiency would be one hundred, and if Zhao Hu asked them to spin and weave cloth, the efficiency would be one hundred and twenty.

Although Zhao Hu has many problems and demands, and always wants to push down the price, he never defaults on everyone's wages and can basically deliver the goods with one hand, so the people of Luoyang still like to work with this different person. The easy-to-talk Qi Taiye is in business.

Zhao Hanzhang also wanted to continue to lure people to Luoyang to contribute to Luoyang's economic construction.

But Zhao Hu didn't like to suffer, let alone suffer losses, so he raised his hand and refused to discuss this issue with Zhao Hanzhang. He still looked at Wei Jie with a smile, poking at her in front of Zhao Hanzhang, "Mr. Wei, Luoyang has now It’s different from the past. Most of the city was burned down, and it’s all ruins. You’ll suffer if you go there. It’s better to stay in Chen County. This is now the seat of Yuzhou, and it’s the most stable and prosperous place besides Xiping.”

Zhao Hanzhang: "...Seventh Uncle, only part of Luoyang City was burned in the north part of the city, but most of it was burned somewhere?"

Wei Jie frowned slightly and asked, "Did he get burned in the Battle of Luoyang?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded: "Yes, Liu Cong set the fire when he escaped from Luoyang."

Wei Jie hurriedly asked: "What about the people?"

He said: "We escaped from Luoyang behind the King of Donghai, and have been wandering around since then. There is no information on the road, and the true and false information are mixed, making it difficult to distinguish."

Zhao Hanzhang briefly introduced the current situation in Luoyang.

Wei Jie listened attentively and sighed: "Luoyang is a big city. Even if the envoy can only restore half of its former prosperity, Luoyang's favorable location can stop the Huns from going south. From now on, Yuzhou will be safe."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded, "That's right. It's just that this matter is difficult and we still need help from all the virtuous people."

Wei Jie took advantage of the situation and asked, "How can I help you?"

Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I would like to ask the young master to be my Xianma. I wonder if the young master is willing."

The person who washes horses is an official who masters the atlas and gives political opinions after observing the government. He is also the official who arranges inspections before the chief official travels. Therefore, in the past, washing horses was also called "Xianma".

At least in the Qin Dynasty and before, it was called "Xianma". I don't know if later generations remembered it wrong, but it became "Xima" from the Han Dynasty onwards.

This official position is not low. From the fifth rank, it is as good as the governor of a state.

Wei Jie agreed.

Wang Yu, who was sitting next to him, was filled with envy, but he knew that this envy could not come true. Wei Jie was not only good-looking, but also had real talent and learning.

He had a lot more knowledge than him. When it came to studying, Wang Yu, like his father Wang Ji, was not very proficient, so he drank with his head down and hid his envy.

Seeing them chatting about political affairs, Zhao Hu moved his eyes away uninterestedly and listened boredly.

However, Wei Jie and Zhao Hanzhang became more and more speculative as they talked. If it weren't for the darkness of the night, Zhao Song, Zhao Hu and others also left, and Zhao Hanzhang was a woman, so Wei Jie would have kept her talking all night long.

Wei Jie got up and left regretfully. Zhao Hanzhang sent him to the door of the hall and said with a smile: "My cousin is not in good health, so he should go to bed early. Don't stay up late just to talk about sex. It's very harmful to your energy."

Wei Jie smiled and agreed, but he couldn't suppress the aroused conversation. He turned to Wang Yu and said: "Zhao Hanzhang is really talented, she has the appearance of a overlord."

Wang Yu looked shocked and confused, "Huh?"

Wei Jie calmed down and the conversation became less sexual, "That's it, go to bed. Let's go visit Chen County tomorrow."

But after washing and lying on the bed, Wei Jie couldn't fall asleep. After lying there for two-quarters of an hour, he finally gave up on falling asleep and just put on his clothes and walked out.

He didn't do anything, just walked slowly in the yard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, thinking deeply.

After thinking about it, when he came back to his senses, he had already walked out of his guest courtyard and approached the main courtyard.

When Wei Jie saw his position, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He turned around and was about to go back when he saw lights still on in a yard next to him.

This place is very close to the main courtyard. The people who live here...

Wei Jie couldn't help but walked in and asked softly: "Is this the residence of Mr. Fu?"

Fu An, who had been dozing against the door, suddenly woke up. He quickly wiped the corners of his mouth to make sure he was not drooling and immediately got up. "Yes, how did Mr. Wei get here?"

Fu Tinghan in the study also heard the sound and curiously opened the door and came out, "Is Mr. Wei still asleep?"

Seeing him running around wearing a piece of clothing, he turned sideways and said, "Please talk in the room."

Good night
