Blood from Daming

Chapter 378 Spices
Yu Anxing smiled and said, "Mr. Wang Qian, don't you mean to blame Jiangdong?"

Wang Ping said seriously: "My lord, the last general is to give the credit to General Zhou. There are many generals in Youtun Zhou and many generals. Naturally, those who are capable should work harder."

Yu Anxing said to Xue Polu: "Polu, let Zhou Shoulian work for a while. He also took care of others. For the sake of ordinary soldiers and civilians in Youtun, Polu should help Zhou Shoulian at critical times."

Xue Polu was silent when he heard this, and at this moment Yan Lao Yao Buyi called out, "Why, there are some people who have been bullied, and they still want to fight for him."

Yu Anxing said: "Captain Yan, it's better to resolve an enemy than to end it. Zhou Shoulian is just a pawn. If there is a chance, how about asking him to serve tea to Xue Jiajun and admit his mistakes?"

Before Yan Lao Yao could speak, Xue Polu took over the conversation and said, "My lord, don't worry, my Xue family army will never disregard the life and death of the people of Ming Dynasty for the sake of personal grievances. It is the battlefield of the Xue family army."

Yu Anxing knew that it was impossible for the Xue family army to send troops immediately, so he stood up and said goodbye to Xue Polu, Xue Polu said: "My lord, it is very rare for our barracks to hold a tooth sacrifice recently, and I would like to invite you to have fun with the Xue family army. A hundred of the heads of the Tartars are offered."

When Yu Anxing heard that there was a leader of the Tartars, he was naturally very happy. He had made a lot of contributions in the Xue family army supervisor, and it was better to lose in Jinzhou. Yu Anxing felt more and more that it was right to follow the Xue family army.

However, Yu Anxing said: "Polu, our army is suffering now, if Benfu sits and enjoys delicious food in your camp alone, I feel really uneasy."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "When your lord came, Beizhi had already sent ten fat sheep to your camp, so you should be able to eat in your camp with peace of mind."

Yu Anxing pointed at Xue Polu with a smile and said: "You, you, you are secretly crossing Chen Cang on the plank road. It seems that Polu's Hongmen Banquet is a must-eat."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "My lord, it's a pity that a humble official is not an overlord, and my lord is not Liu Bang."

Yu Anxing was startled and said: "Polu, Benfu made a slip of the tongue." While speaking, Yu Anxing kept shaking his hands.

Xue Polu winked at his subordinate generals, and the generals of the Xue family army in the big tent immediately left. Xue Polu smiled and said: "If my lord enters Liaoyang first, maybe the princes and princes will come rushing towards us."

Yu Anxing saw that there were no idlers in the big tent, and he was free to speak: "Polu, the feudal marquis is not a wish for Haibo's peace. My wish is to destroy and build the captives. As for fame and wealth, they are all external things." .”

Xue Polu praised: "Your Excellency is really noble, but it's a pity that there are only a handful of officials like Your Excellency in the court."

Yu Anxing's face turned pale when he heard Xue Polu's words, this man, no matter how shrewd he is, would like to be praised by others, even though he knew that others were suspected of flattering him, he willingly accepted it.

Yu Anxing said modestly: "Polu, it's too much, it's too much, hahaha."

Xue Polu replied: "My lord, these words are from the bottom of my heart."

Yu An and Xue Polu were chatting, and the soldiers sent two servings of braised mutton in brown sauce, two servings of shiitake mushroom vermicelli stewed with haggis, and a jar of high-quality wine secretly made by Xue's "Xinghua Restaurant".

Xue Polu said: "The food and drink in the army are rough and simple, please forgive me, my lord."

Yu Anxing smiled and said, "Polu, it's pretty good to be able to eat such food and drink in the army."

Yu Anxing took a piece of braised mutton and chewed it in his mouth, then picked up the wine poured by Xue Polu's personal soldier, took a sip of the wine, and then used chopsticks to put the haggis stewed in the pot of shiitake mushroom vermicelli I took a large amount of vegetables and put them in my mouth.

After a while, Yu Anxing said, "Polu, how delicious is your cooking, and this wine is also very sweet."

Xue Polu said with a smile: "To entertain the adults is naturally to serve the best food and wine."

Yu Anxing said: "No, Ben Fu also ate many times in the Polu camp before, but he didn't taste such delicious food when he came out. Well, there must be something in it."

Xue Polu said: "Your Excellency is indeed a gourmet, and you will know the secret after tasting the food and wine."

Yu Anxing asked: "Polu, tell me what secrets you have in Xue's army's food and drink."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, this mutton has the secret spices of Xue's family added to it, and the wine is also the top-quality wine secretly made by Xue's "Xinghua Restaurant". "

Yu Anxing sighed: "Ben Fu has been in Shanhaiguan all year, but I heard people say that the "Xinghua Restaurant" in the capital is extremely delicious. It was praised as the first gourmet restaurant in Beijing. Today, I have tasted the first gourmet restaurant in Beijing." The style of the family. "

Under Yu Anxing's enthusiastic questioning, Xue Polu said: "My lord, the spices of the Xue family are the treasures of the century-old "Xinghua Restaurant", and the wine of "Xinghua Restaurant" is also steamed with spices of. "

Yu Anxing took a bite of the dish and said, "Well, yes, with the Xue family's secret spices added, this mutton has become a delicacy in the world, but Ben Fu didn't taste the original flavor of the spices."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "My lord, the spices of the Xue family are different from the thirteen spices in the world. They are special additives to enhance the fragrance and maintain the original taste of the dishes. The wine of Xue's "Xinghua Restaurant" is also the same. In this way, it only increases the steaming of water wine many times. "

Yu Anxing said with a smile: "Your Xue family can become a wealthy family in Daming just by relying on business and business skills. The whole family can live a life of luxury and wealth."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "My lord, you don't know that the Xue family was so poor a year or two ago, if it wasn't for the birth of my third young master, the current Xue family might have been torn apart."

Yu Anxing asked hesitantly: "Oh, there is such a thing."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, in fact, the Xue family is on the verge of bankruptcy. It's not entirely because of poor management. The main reason is that there is serious corruption within the family, and there are no strict monitoring measures. It was my third young master who took over the entire Xue family. It is the spices and fine wine that are improved and distinguished by the third young master."

After hearing Xue Polu's words, Yu Anxing became more interested in Xue Yun: "I didn't expect Mr. Xue to not only have high martial arts skills, but also to be knowledgeable in other aspects. So Mr. Xue is now the actual head of the Xue family. .”

Xue Polu said: "My young master doesn't care about any Patriarch's seat at all. It is the old Patriarch who wants to give the Patriarch's position to the young master. The young master has not agreed yet."

Yu Anxing asked: "Polu, then your Xue family army actually obeys the general soldier Xue, not the Xue family."

After hearing Yu Anxing's words, Xue Polu began to say vigilantly: "My lord, our Liaodong Xue family army only listens to what is right."

Yu Anxing said with a smile: "Polu, no third person will know what came out of your mouth and into my ears, but Ben Fu is very curious about Xue Zongbing, and hopes to have the opportunity to communicate with him in person, to understand Take a look at the demeanor of my talented general of the Ming Dynasty."

Xue Polu said: "My young master is also very grateful to my lord for revealing the secret information of the Jianlu mission last time, and I also admire your honest and honest literary talents."

Yu Anxing's expression became even brighter when he heard this. After the two of them were full of wine and food, Xue Polu personally sent Mr. Yu Anxing out of the gate of Xue's army. Ten steps away from Governor Yu's barracks.

Xue Polu stared at Youtun in the distance for a long time: "If you want gold, how is the situation in Youtun?"

Lu Yaojin said: "Second Uncle, Jianlu has set up a big camp and is now cutting wood to make siege equipment. Youtun is a restored old city with a small pool. It is estimated that Jianlu will attach ants to climb the city tomorrow."

Xue Polu said: "Order the sentries to retreat as much as possible if they don't close at night, and pay attention to the movements of Youtun and Zhao led the Ministry of Education from afar."
