Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 225 Acting Too Likely
In the golden autumn and September, the midsummer has passed.

The sun in the sky became extremely soft, and the breeze was blowing on the path leading to the long pavilion by the river, which made people feel so refreshed.

There were a few guide boys standing along the way, and there was no guard from a distance, and there seemed to be only one person in the long pavilion ahead, not even a maid serving.

Lu Su then asked his fellow guards to wait for him by the river. He believed that neither Guan Yu nor Lan Tian could harm him, so he still needed to be more generous.

When Lan Tian in the pavilion saw Guan Yu and Lu Su approaching, he hurried to greet them and salute.

"Mr. Zijing, are you all right?" Lan Tian greeted with cupped hands.

Lu Su pointed at him, and wanted to blame him, but suddenly remembered Guan Yu's persuasion, and said with a wry smile: "Well, Lan Ziyu, you are Liu Shijun's General Jingnan."

Lan Tian smiled awkwardly, and led Lu Su into the pavilion to sit down.

There is a pot on the table in the pavilion, and the boiling soup inside is rolling like waves in the river, and you can smell the fragrance faintly. There are all kinds of fresh meat, vegetables and other raw and cold food around. The chrysanthemum brew sent by Lu Su a few days ago, and the coconut in the corner of the ground.

The three sat opposite each other, and Lu Su pointed to the pot and raw meat on the table and asked, "Could this be the shabu-shabu that General Guan talked about?"

"The best ingredients often only need simple cooking. The meat that Zi Jing eats on weekdays has been cooked for a long time, and the original delicious taste of the meat has been lost. In this way, the taste is tender and juicy, especially in winter, which complements each other." Guan Yu Pick up a piece of meat and boil it in a pot. Because the slice is quite thin, it quickly changes color and removes it.

The cooking method of shabu-shabu has been tried in the folks, but Lu Su knew it, so he frowned and said, "This kind of shabu-shabu cooking is indeed feasible, but it's not as delicious as General Guan said, right?"

There is a lack of condiments in this era, and spices are more expensive than gold. The usual way is to use meat such as fish and sheep to make soup fresh, and then add some side dishes to the pot. stew.

Guan Yu pushed a wooden lacquer bowl in front of Lu Su, and said mysteriously: "It's really not amazing to use shabu-shabu alone, but wrapping this dipping sauce with boiled meat will definitely open your eyes."

Lu Su was skeptical. He dipped it in the lacquer bowl and chewed it in his mouth. It really tasted very rich.

"Yun Changcheng is not lying to me. It is really delicious. Please tell me the recipe of this dipping sauce." Lu Su's eyes widened.

Guan Yu raised his wine glass and laughed, "Today at the Double Ninth Festival banquet in Jiangxia, Zijing serves the wine and I serve the meat, and the dipping sauce is made by Ziyu. Everyone is sincere, hahaha"

Lu Su raised his wine glass and took a sip, then smiled and said to Lan Tian: "I almost forgot that Ziyu is good at cooking, I'm afraid this way of eating is also your creation, right? You can't keep the recipe of the dipping sauce secret."

"In fact, there is no fixed method for this dipping sauce. It is nothing more than common condiments such as soy sauce, minced garlic, green onion, salt, soy sauce, and caramel. You just need to mix and prepare it at will." Lan Tian replied, pointing to the lacquer bowl.

Lu Su looked at the dipping sauce in the bowl, and continued to ask: "How much is each condiment?"

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "There is no fixed method, just choose according to your own taste."

"It makes sense. I'll try it myself when I go back to Chaisang. Did the dipping sauce come from Lingling or from Jiangxia?" Lu Su asked again.

"It's not something rare, it's naturally from Jiangxia." Lan Tian replied with a smile.

Lu Su recalled that Lan Tian concealed his identity, and teased again: "Since the dipping material is from Jiangxia, Ziyu's sincerity cannot be seen."

Well, Lan Tian thought in his heart that this guy has finally started.

Lan Tian picked up two coconuts from the ground and put them on the table, and said with a smile, "I brought these from Lingling, and I will break them open later to quench your thirst."

Lu Su is well-informed and knows coconuts. He knows that only Lingnan produces this thing in the Han Dynasty. Could it be that this guy really meddled in Jiaozhou affairs?Xin said that I finally got a handle on it.

"I remember that this thing was produced in Lingnan, did Ziyu go to Jiaozhou?" Lu Su asked deliberately.

Although Guan Yu didn't change his face, he was shocked. He saw the coconut when he entered the pavilion just now, and he didn't understand Lan Tian's behavior.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "Don't Zijing know about the existence of merchants? Lingling is adjacent to Yulin County in Jiaozhou, and merchants often travel between Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. Products in Lingnan are not rare."

Lu Su felt that this person was more magnanimous because of Lan Tian's scolding, but he was worried and asked again: "Since there are caravans coming and going, Ziyu is very clear about the situation in Jiaozhou, right?"

Lan Tian nodded and said, "I heard that General Ziming suffered setbacks in Jiaozhou. Is Mr. Lai Fu so powerful?"

"Uh, I've been in Chaisang, so I don't know much about Jiaozhou." Lu Su looked ashamed, and he didn't have a suitable excuse, let alone Lantian was so calm.

Lan Tian said with a serious expression: "South of Lingnan is remote and full of miasma. I heard that the people's customs are strong and aggressive. Maybe it's because of the climate. Zijing wants General Lu to be careful. The climate in Lingnan is terrible."

Of course it's fatal, Bu Zhi has confessed.

Facing such an 'open' Lantian, Lu Su didn't know how to answer, but he nodded slightly, "I will pass on Ziyu's kindness to my lord, let's not talk about business for the Double Ninth Festival today, let's taste the chrysanthemum brew I brought. "

Since people in Jiangdong love to stab their backs, Lan Tian not only tested the poison in advance with a silver needle, but also brought his own wine to confuse others. Now the wine on the table is Lu Su drinking Jiangdong wine, and Lan Tian and Guan Yu drinking chrysanthemum wine produced in Jingzhou.

Although Lu Su's character was reliable, Lan Tian really didn't dare to gamble. If something happened between him and Guan Yu, it would be over.

"It's rare that Zijing is interested. Guan and Ziyu will have fun with you." Seeing that Lu Su changed the subject, Guan Yu raised his glass to agree.

"Very good." Lan Tian also raised his glass.

The three of them ate and drank, and soon each drank a jar, Guan Yu's face was redder than before, Lan Tian and Lu Su looked a little drunk.

Lu Su took Lan Tian's hand and muttered: "Sun and Liu are in-laws and allies, we should treat each other with sincerity. Ziyu is the envoy of the king's wife and brother. Why didn't you say it earlier? When we were in Chaisang, my lord and I were neglected. .”

Lan Tian said drunkenly, "What? Tell me earlier? At that time, each was his master, and Xuande and I had little contact. I was afraid that the old master Liu Jingzhou would be suspicious, and who would Zijing think of me as?"

Lu Su was taken aback when he heard that, Lan Tian was so loyal to Liu Qi, could it be that we are being overwhelmed?
He did tamper with the wine, but it was not a poison, but a specially brewed wine that is easy to get drunk. Before coming here, he had specially taken the anti-alcoholic medicine, but Lan Tian and Guan Yu had already changed positions.

Guan Yu watched in amazement, and thought that Lan Ziyu's acting was too similar, and I couldn't do it if I left it to me.
