Chapter 43: Others Eat and I Watch
On the night of entering the city, Sukh Saha found that the amount of grain in the granary was not the right amount, and it was not at all the amount it should have. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although North Korea likes to be arrogant, a small county town dares to be called a state, and a county town plus some surrounding villages and towns dare to be called a county, but in the entire city, there are a total of 5 granaries of an official warehouse, a righteous warehouse, and three merchants' granaries, and there is not only as little grain as there is now.
Due to the atrocities of the Jin army after entering the city, the original person in charge of the warehouse could not be found (in fact, it had already been solved by Chen Xin), but so many warehouses in the city were managed by different people, and a few who did not die could always be found.
The person found it, but the matter of the grain is still not clear, no matter how the punishment is given, the other party insists that the granary was originally filled with 7 percent of the grain, but how can it be gone, it is really impossible to say. At this time, it was impossible for anyone to think that Chen Xin would have the ability to absorb food in an instant, and even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would probably think that he was dazzled. What's more, Chen Xin does it secretly every time. Of course, it is impossible to detect the flaw.
In desperation, Sukh Saha had no choice but to tell the boss Amin that the food in the city was completely insufficient to supply the army, and what to do with it, let the boss decide.
At this time, Sukh Saha and his men repaired in Uiju City for two days.
All of Amin's 30,000 troops crossed the Yalu River, and a Jurchen soldier of Jiala (5 Niu Lu and one Jiala) also came to the city of Yiju on this day with Amin's generals.
On the same day, Sukh Saha hosted a banquet at the home of the richest man in the city, the chief commander of the team, Jia Lae Zhen Yi Temo, and Chen Xin, who was the first confidant of Su Ke Saha's subordinates, was also accompanied.
Due to Sukh Saha's special status, he is first of all the grandson of Nurhachi, the nephew of the current Great Khan, and he is also a small Niu Lu Ezhen who has just joined the company.
Sukh Saha was a noble person, and iTemo did not sell it, and said directly, "Baylor heard that the Caspian Tiger captured the city with 100 people, and directly defeated the 1,200 officers and soldiers stationed in North Pyongan Province, North Pyongan Province, and there were no more than 100 Korean officers and soldiers in North Pyongan Province, he was extremely happy, and praised the Caspian Tiger for being worthy of Baturu, and also promoted the Caspian Tiger as a reserve on the spot (Note 1), and said that the preparation of the defense was not enough to show the merits of the North Pyongan Tiger, and when the Korean battle was completed, he would definitely recommend it to the Great Khan." At the same time, you, Sukh Saha, as the main striker, are definitely indispensable to your contributions. ”
Chen Xin hurriedly stood up and said a few words of modesty, and after thanking Amin Belle for his appreciation, he also thanked Sukh Saha for his trust and promotion.
After these false courtesies, Iatemo spoke again, "Amin Belle is also very annoyed by the lack of food in the city of Yiju, but Baylor knows that this is none of your business, so he sent me to the surrounding towns to raise food. And I came to Baylor this time and specifically instructed me to tell you that your credit can't run, and Baylor is very relieved to hand over the position of striker to you, despite the bold efforts to attack forward, how many people you have lost, double up to replenish you. ”
The two of them suddenly looked grateful, and the two began to chat politely.
At this time, after the business was over, Chen Xin immediately beckoned someone to serve the food.
The chefs here are the best chefs from all over the city a day in advance.
Chen Xin knew that the Houjin was about to die by Nurhachi, and these Houjin officers were used to living a hard life, and if they made a table of exquisite banquets, they were afraid that the big bosses in the Houjin army would not know the goods, so they decided not to engage in those vain dishes, and asked for big fish and meat, heavy seasonings, and a table of hard dishes.
Pity the craftsmen for decades, in the past, they were all trying to make as fine as possible, but today they are forced to make how to get affordable, plus the seasoning provided by Chen Xin, they have almost never seen it.
The masters looked at each other, and couldn't figure out for a long time, and finally a chef surnamed Pu had a way, he asked Chen Xin to find a few small Jurchen officers, and everyone tried to make a few dishes according to the general practice written by Chen Xin, and let these small officers try to eat, try over and over again, until the taste of the Jurchens is determined, everyone can be regarded as having a bottom.
At this time, according to the menu provided by Chen Xin, which had been improved by many chefs, the banquet was really tickled by all the officers present.
Before the food was served, Za Muken, the first fierce general brought by iTemo, clearly said that his strength was not as good as that of the Caspian Tigers, so he had to compete with Chen Xin at the wine table.
The food didn't come, so he pulled Chen Xinlian to dry 3 large bowls of wine, and in the roar of everyone, Chen Xin tried to suppress the churning wine in his stomach, and asked Lao Bai to quickly absorb and transform the wine, while urging the food to be served.
After the first few dishes came up, they didn't need Chen Xin to greet them, and the eyes of a group of people couldn't be pulled out at once, and Za Muken didn't look for Chen Xin to fight for wine, and a little polite words were immediately a gobble up.
Chen Xin roughly wrote down the method, and then asked a few cooks to think about the improved "pot wrapped meat", "pork stewed vermicelli", "iron pot stewed fish", "sauerkraut stewed pork ribs", "garlic prawns", "fat sausage", "stir-fried pork slices", "scallion fried mutton", "braised pork ribs", "sauerkraut fish", "garlic pork ribs", "boiled pork slices", "mushu meat", "sliao meat section", "saliva chicken", "back to the pot meat", "braised pork", "fried tenderloin", "sauce beef", "steamed sheep", "stewed chicken" and so on. A table full of dishes.
Seeing that everyone was eating heartily, although Chen Xin also moved his index finger, he insisted on not moving his chopsticks, smiling and watching the table full of people eating.
Seeing that Chen Xin didn't move his chopsticks, Suke Saha swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Tiger, why don't you eat it?" ”
Of course, Chen Xin could not tell the truth of the matter.
When he experimented with those spices, it was all about saving trouble, as long as the taste was right, no matter what the ingredients were, just add them vigorously.
I can get that there is still a shadow, I really don't dare to say it, who knows what is in the "seasoning" that I match with Lao Bai.
So he said casually, "Brother Su, I have been busy for two days for this table, and I am annoyed to try the dishes, I am really annoyed, I will go to the kitchen to make a bowl of somen noodles." ”
Sukh Saha also asked casually, but he didn't listen carefully, and waved his hand, "Then you can go." ”
Turn around and continue to compete with other people's chopsticks.
Chen Xin went out with a smile, and after being absorbed by Lao Bai from all the contents of his stomach, he was really hungry now, so he ran to the kitchen and picked up a few pancakes and ate them.
In the strange eyes of the chefs looking at fools, Chen Xin smelled the fragrance in the wok while eating, and secretly ruthless, "You must improve those seasonings, next time I will also eat these delicious foods, others eat banquets, I gnaw flatbread here, it's too sad, it's too embarrassing for the traverser." ”
Note 1: The position and title of Houjin at this time are not separated, Nurhachi set the title of Houjin in the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, which is divided into 123 class general soldiers, 123 class deputy generals, 123 class staff generals, 123 class guerrillas, and a total of 5 levels and 13 levels.
