Chapter 2730
Chapter 2730
The official didn't stop the chef from recommending his family. No one knows how long the envoy will stay here. There must be more people in the kitchen.
Tim, who isn't Tim?
The family is well managed.
So he asked someone to take the chef back and pick up his wife and children. He hurried to report back to the prince of senior two.
However, the second year of senior high school had not finished the meeting. Standing outside for a while, he saw that he came out of the house with a tired and sad face. As soon as he saw this expression, he didn't dare to get up. For fear of bad luck, he bowed his head and hid aside.
He sa was disappointed and left sadly. The little official looked up at his rickety back and saw that other generals and ministers came out. He hurried forward to ask for an audience.
The prince of grade two was about to talk to his confidant. When he heard him asking for a meeting, he called people in and asked, "have the envoys of the state of Jin arranged?"
"Yes." The small official carefully said Bai Shan's various performances after checking in, including the long paragraph said by Daji.
Then he took out the ingot of gold and offered it, bent over and said, "prince, this is what he gave to his subordinates."
The sophomore prince only looked at it and waved, "since he gave it to you, you can take it."
He sneered, "send someone to guard his yard and don't allow them to go out at will."
He decided to hang him for two days to see the situation and determine the attitude of Dajin.
The junior officer replied and bowed out when he saw that the second year of senior high school Prince didn't express other views on finding a cook in the guest house.
As soon as the little official left, his confidant bowed and said, "prince, listen to the sound. This envoy should have a rich background."
The prince of the second year of senior high school sneered and said, "how can you be low in birth if you can do the position of giving up people in the book at a young age and act as an envoy on behalf of the son of heaven?"
Being tall means that the other party's knowledge and ability are not weak. From the moment he can face him, the sophomore Prince knows that although the opponent is young, he can't be underestimated.
But just a word, Yuan Yi and they have already made the calculation of surrender.
The second year of senior high school prince thought of this and pursed his lips unhappily. He ordered again, "send someone to guard their yard and don't let them go out."
"Yes."
Bai Shan stood on the steps with his hands on his back, looked at the soldiers walking around outside the courtyard wall, smiled and turned to the door.
Xue GUI strolled around the whole yard and even turned over the back toilet. He and Bai Shan said, "Lord Bai, there are people guarding the front, back, left and right. We can't get out even at night."
"If we can't get out, we can't get out."
"But trapped here, can't we do anything?"
What's the use of bringing so many gold, silver and jewelry?
Bai Shan smiled and said, "I can't go to the mountain. Naturally, I want the mountain to come to me."
He turned and asked Daji, "is the cook family coming?"
"Here we are."
"How many people are there in their family?"
Daji said, "his mother, two sons and a daughter, heard me say he wanted a girl to boil water, so he brought them all."
He said, "he told me that his wife and eldest son can buy food. They are familiar with the vegetable farmers in the city, and the youngest son can stay in the courtyard and give orders."
Bai Shan nodded slightly, "ask clearly, is his family here?"
"Yes, I brought them all."
Bai Shan was satisfied and said to Daji, "give them some gold and say that I will use fresh vegetables and roast mutton for lunch and dinner tomorrow. I want the tenderest piece, not the extra."
Daji understood and turned to get the gold.
Xue GUI saw Daji go out with another piece of gold and said nothing for a long time.
The emperors on the opposite side are not so extravagant. Last time they ate with their majesty. The emperor ate the same thing as them, only two dishes and one soup.
One dish is tofu, and the other is only with some minced meat.
The army is outside. This is not their own territory. The supplies can't keep up. The food is not enough. There are really few vegetables and meat.
He vaguely felt that Bai Shan's move was not just for food, but he couldn't understand why. He had to be silent and planned to see the situation.
The chef was also very excited and surprised when he received a piece of gold. Although he had been prepared for the noble man's luxury, he was surprised by the two-day food expenses.
Daji said, "money is not a problem. It's mainly to make my young master eat happily. If you do well, the young master still has a reward."
The chef bowed down with his family and said, "yes, yes, the little ones must do their best."
When Daji left, the chef's wife looked at the gold in his hand in a daze, swallowed her saliva and said, "the master, where can I find so many fresh vegetables now?"
She said, "I was only going to find someone to buy some woad stored in the cellar."
The chef said, "those vegetable farmers don't have it. They can buy it from big families. They have Zhuangzi and other hospitals. There must be a place to raise fresh vegetables. As long as they have money, can they buy these things?"
He touched the gold in his hand and said, "see, this is real gold. Such a piece can buy a small yard. Even if I can only save a small half and save it several times, it's worth being a cook in the restaurant for 20 years."
The chef's wife smelled the speech, swallowed her saliva, and stretched out her hand to take the gold. "OK, I'll go out and look for it now. I used to know a lot of people's stewards when I delivered food to the restaurant. I'll ask them."
The chef nodded with satisfaction.
The kitchen people went in and out to buy things, and the soldiers at the door didn't stop them, but they didn't allow Jin people to go in and out.
Bai Shan didn't try to test their bottom line. He stayed in the house directly and honestly. He just poked at the place from time to time. Later, he said that the quilt was not soft enough and asked people to tell the soldiers at the door that they had changed new bedding;
After a while, it was really boring. I asked them to send some books, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone
Anyway, there are so many trivial requirements that the soldiers guarding the door straightened their backs as soon as they saw the Jin people coming.
But they also have a posture of going to the country, and Koguryo's side has lost the war. If you want to be tough, you can't stand it. You can only bear it.
Every time the council would meet their requirements, and the soldiers guarding the gate were even less confident of them. Obviously, they knew that although they guarded the envoys of the state of Jin, even their Shangguan had to be polite to these Jin people, so although they were not allowed to go out, they were polite to them.
Xue GUI also saw that the door was coming and turned to Bai Shan, who was reading the book. That was an ordinary Analects. He didn't believe that Bai Shan, a Jinshi, had never read it, but at this time he just read it with interest.
No way, he can only suppress his temper and sit aside in a daze.
The next day, the kitchen really made the fresh vegetables required by Bai Shan and the tender roast mutton.
Bai Shan took a slight pick at the corner of his mouth and continued to ask for fine food the next day.
When the second chef also bought it for him, Bai Shan asked the chef to talk and directly asked him, "I think you speak Chinese well. Did you learn it in the restaurant?"
The chef was stunned and bent down: "yes, this is not only elegant speech, but also our Mandarin. I work in the restaurant and occasionally want to see some distinguished guests, so I learned it."
Bai Shan was very satisfied, nodded and said, "I think your cooking is good, especially the dessert. Do you want to go to the Central Plains?"
He smiled and said, "if you like, I can take you when I go back to Chang'an. How about you make me a cook?"
