No matter how good it is in the barracks, it is impossible to be like in the Governor's Palace, naturally there is no shower. However, they didn't dare to snub Gongsun Jin, just when they went to eat.

He had already been sent to bring him two particularly large wooden barrels, which were filled with hot and cold water, respectively.

If you feel that the water is not warm enough, you can open the wooden valve on the side of the hot water, and there will be a steady stream of hot water flowing out of it. Of course, I feel that the water is too hot, and when I open the other side, it is cold water.

It turned out to be somewhat similar to modern showers, except that it was fully manual. The wooden barrel that Governor Lu prepared for him was also very large, and Gongsun Jin, who was eight feet long, took off his clothes, let go of his hands and feet, and lay in it, there was still a lot of space.

The hot water soaked Gongsun Jin's body, which also relieved his fatigue of the day a lot, closed his eyes slightly, and emptied his head, he actually remembered some things from the past in his mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered in his mouth: Isn't it a demon. Why have you been thinking about that girl for the past two days?

What's so good about that girl, stunted, to have no figure, to have a face. He's seen too many beauties. But why did he keep thinking about her in his heart?

He thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with the reason, which was food.

Yes, the girl's cooking skills were the best he had ever seen, and the things she made were also strange, and the taste was really good.

Thinking of the food, Gongsun Jin suddenly felt a little hungry, and he suddenly wanted to eat. He would have forgotten what he had eaten at the Doge's Palace at night.

After leaving Xijing, he rushed to the war with the Khitans, and every time he ate, he almost raced against time. Now it's a tiring journey to go back, and almost all of them are making do with food, so they don't eat properly at all.

Today he suddenly smelled the fragrance outside the city, so he thought of Yang Ruo. I don't know what happened to that girl's cooking competition. When he thought of her, he thought of the food at once, and therefore he had no appetite for the food here.

He soaked for a long time before he came out of the water, changed into clean clothes, and walked out. The hot bath can really relieve fatigue, and Mr. Lu also gave his private collection to Gongsun Jin, it is said that what kind of medicinal bath can be used to relieve fatigue after soaking in this medicinal bath.

It is said that when you soak in the medicinal bath, you don't feel anything, but after you soak it, you will feel hot all over your body, which is very comfortable.

Murong Jie really knew him best, and when he saw that Gongsun Jin had finished bathing, he greeted him with a smile. And put upon him the splendid robe that was draped on the outside.

Even inside the big tents, it was very cold, after all, these tents were not as sturdy as brick houses, so you had to wear more than usual.

Gongsun Jin had just come out of the medicinal bath, and his whole body was still hot, not cold at all, so he didn't wear any robe outside, "Son, take a bath more comfortably, I saw that you drank a lot of wine on an empty stomach in the Governor's Mansion at night, and I also brought you the best Yuncheng wine here." I'll have them set you a table right away. ”

Gongsun Jin stretched out his head and looked outside the big account, it was already dark, even if he wanted to go out for a walk, it was estimated that Murong Jie would desperately pull him to prevent him from going out. Because he is standard road blind. If he goes out like this, he is not familiar with the place, and he will definitely go the wrong way.

"Yes, yes! You also sit down and have a drink with me. ”

Gongsun Jin will be much more energetic after bathing, and his handsome face will have a little more noble atmosphere. Yingting's eyebrows and eyes, clear outlines, he stood there as a whole person, and there was no need to match any background, just like a simple and timeless ink painting, which made people dazzled.

However, the expression on his face as he sat there was a little softer than when he entered the city during the day.

Seeing his expression, Murong Jie was not as gloomy as during the day, and his mood was better. Busy with a look, let the people on the side serve the food.

When the dish was halfway through, Chen Song suddenly walked in, and then reported: "Son, Lord Meng Cheng ordered someone to bring you the dishes, you can see whether you accept it or not." ”

After Chen Song finished speaking, there were two or three people standing behind him, two of whom were carrying an iron pot in their hands, and there was a fire burning under the pot.

I don't know what dishes were burned in the pot, but I saw a stream of aroma rising up.

Seeing that Gongsun Jin did not speak, he picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine for himself. Murong Jie glanced at Chen Song and said in a low voice, "Escort Chen, what's wrong with you today." Usually not very clever, how to take such a thing today, let them all go down. ”

Chen Song listened to Murong Jie's words, and couldn't help but sweat, he was indeed confused. During the day, Gongsun Jin looked at that Meng City Lord unpleasantly.

Later, he went to the Governor's Mansion for dinner, and he didn't even want to say a word to that Meng City Lord, how could he eat the dishes he sent him.

Chen Song waved his hand, and his tone was a little hurried. "Quick, quick, withdraw, withdraw." Those few people immediately said yes in their mouths, and wanted to leave quickly before Gongsun Jin lost his temper.

"Stay!" Just when those people were about to turn around and hurry away, Gongsun Jin, who didn't want to speak all the time, suddenly spoke.

Those few people didn't hear it clearly, their expressions were stunned, and they didn't know whether to leave or stay, but Chen Song heard it. couldn't help but say, "Master Hou, are you stupid to let you serve the dishes?" ”

The three people who delivered the food were suddenly a little happy and didn't know why, and immediately put the steamer in front of Gongsun Jin, plus a big iron pot.

The two people carrying the iron pot lowered their heads and reported: "Back to the Hou Ye, our city lord said that this pot of fish tastes very delicious, and it must be eaten while it is hot in order to eat the original taste." ”

Gongsun Jin sat there for a long time without moving, but his face showed a look of confusion, and he didn't say anything to let the three people go down, so they could only stand aside with their hands down, and they didn't dare to let out a breath.

Murong Jie saw Gongsun Jin's doubts, and saw that he had been staring at the soup with a layer of red oil floating on it, and his mind was also spinning rapidly.

Then he thrashed his nose vigorously, and suddenly something came out of his mouth. "Son, what is this pot thing, why does it smell so good, it seems to be a little familiar. But there are some differences, yes. ”

Gongsun Jin's originally plain expression suddenly changed slightly, he stretched out his two hands and said a word. "Let City Lord Meng come to see me."

When the city lord Meng heard the news that Gongsun was going to see him, he was immediately overjoyed, and the prefect of the king also said happily on the side: "The city lord of Meng is really smart, and he says that he knows himself and knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles. City Lord Meng knows that our little marquis is a foodie. This time, we can be regarded as a treasure. ”

Lord Meng knew that the prefect of the Wang Mansion was a straw bag, and what he said was tantamount to a fart. But then he felt that what he said was still a little beautiful.

He touched his chin, which did not have a few whiskers, with his hand, and then said, "It's too early for Lord Wang to make up his mind now. If we can get the approval of the little marquis and get the mining rights of iron ore in our hands, that is the most real. Then he said to the people outside, "Let them take care of the two girls." Especially the big one, and then lock that guy up for me. Don't make any other mistakes at this juncture. ”

The discovery of iron ore was discovered by a distant relative of the prefect of Wang's mansion when he was digging the mountain, and it was later identified as iron ore. Later, someone informed the prefect of Wang, because this matter was very important, so he told the city lord of Meng.

Iron ore, a large mineral, generally belongs to the state, even if the lord of Meng City is the lord of a city, he does not have the right to mine privately.

And if you report it to the top, it may be discovered by others. So when he knew that Gongsun Jin would pass by here, he thought about it. Find a way to win him over, and it is best to bring him in, then his fortune will be fine.

I never thought that Gongsun Jin would be even colder than the legend. is almost unreasonable, and he didn't even participate in the family banquet he specially arranged. So he was grieved.

It may be that God is helping him, because at this moment, that Wang Zongbing sent him a good cook.

So he tried the cook's dish on the spot, and suddenly made a new decision. It is to invest in Gongsun's favorites, and use food to open the way.

He knew that Gongsun Jin didn't love the country or beauty, but he only liked food. Wherever he goes, as long as there is food and wine, he will go there after all.

So he decided to use food to open the ice of Gongsun Jin.

Therefore, he would hear the report from the people below that Gongsun Jin wanted to see him, and he suddenly felt that as long as Gongsun Jin gave him the opportunity to meet, this matter would have at least a fifty percent success rate.

While instructing City Lord Meng to come to see him, he also instructed Murong Jie to do something for him. After a while, a group of people quietly went out of the camp.

And while waiting for the city lord Meng to come to see him, Gongsun Jin's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he was eating the boiling fish fillets in the pot one bite at a time.

The fish fillet is generally the size of a thin slice, and it does melt in the mouth. The combination of tender fish and fresh and spicy flavor can make people want to stop.

At first, he thought that this fish was made by Yang Ruo, but when he ate the fish, he felt that the taste of this fish seemed to be slightly different from what Yang Ruo had done at the beginning. It seemed to be more perfect, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he dismissed the bold guess.

But if he doesn't confirm it, he is not very willing. So he ordered Murong Jie to take someone to investigate.

At this time, Chen Xiang was sent to prison because he beat the soldiers defending the city. Yang Ruo and Meiling were locked in a room, and after she made a meal, she called the heavens and the earth unspiritual.

"Hey, you let me out, I want to see your city lord." Yang Ruo thought that Chen Xiang was captured by those soldiers for her, it must be nothing good. When she saw that the city lord named Meng He, she asked her to cook a dish, and she would definitely use her again, so after she was locked up, she kept screaming everywhere, trying to attract the attention of others.

No, her throat was hoarse for a long time, and no one came to take care of them.

Meiling's eyes were also red from crying, like ripe peaches, "Sister Aruo, Daddy will be fine." ”

Meiling is a child after all, and she was frightened by what happened just now. This will continue to sob, seeing Meiling's worried look on her face, Yang Ruo had to fight to comfort her. "Meiling, don't worry, my sister will definitely find a way to save your father."

"But those people look so vicious, we will be locked up here, how can we go to Daddy?"

Meiling is not stupid, I can't see there, Yang Ruo is talking to comfort her.
