Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 16

In fact, Yu Zhining called Luo Yan over. On the one hand, he really admired Luo Yan, and on the other hand, he also wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Luo Yan's situation through the conversation with Luo Yan.

When I was in Tiance Mansion just now, I learned a lot about Luo Yan from Zhou Jin in the process of chatting with Zhou Jin, but Yu Zhining still felt that it would be better to get in touch with Luo Yan in person.

It is also Yu Zhining who has the military ability to test Luo Yan, so he put the topic on the next situation from the beginning.

Zhou Jin had already mentioned the general strategy earlier, so the three of them did not go into details, but discussed the detailed issues, specific to the daily management and operation of the military camp.After all, everyone understands the truth of talking about war on paper. Too much military strategy discussion is still a bit too empty for Zhou Jin and Luo Yan, two people who have never personally experienced war.

Fortunately, the daily management of military camps is, to put it bluntly, the management of people, so it is similar to some aspects of governing the people.

For what he didn't understand, Luo Yan told Yu Zhining that he didn't understand very frankly.Luo Yan did not hide what he knew.

As a matter of fact, Luo Yan was a human being, and he had only been in contact with the army during military training when he was in college in his previous life, so he didn't know anything about the military.But he doesn't understand the military, and Luo Yan still understands some other aspects of the military, such as public health and so on.Therefore, Luo Yan just took the opportunity of talking with Yu Zhining, and told Yu Zhining some little knowledge about first aid and germ prevention on the battlefield that he had read on the Internet in his previous life.

Although there is no way to explain the truth thoroughly, luckily Luo Yan uses careful observation in his daily life as the source of this information.

However, Yu Zhining had stayed in the military camp after all, and knew that some methods were already in use, so he secretly planned to go back and gather together what Luo Yan said, so that King Qin, who was far away in Shandong, could try it in the military camp.Anyway, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers is extremely high at this time, and if they want to know that there is a possibility of survival, those wounded soldiers will voluntarily go to the experiment.

After talking about it, Yu Zhining also got what he wanted, and there was an unexpected joy, so he felt very comfortable.Just at this time, the shopkeeper of Tianranju came in to serve the food, so he stopped talking and asked Luo Yan and Zhou Jin to eat.

To be honest, Luo Yan is really sad about the fact that there is no pepper in this era.

Although various cooking methods have made considerable progress at this time, and many famous dishes have emerged, but Luo Yan, who is more or less spicy in later generations, still has some appetite for these slightly bland foods. Feeling tired after a long time.

What came up at this moment should be regarded as an appetizer, a shape made of various dried meats, and a platter of pickled preserved fruits. With just these two, Luo Yan felt like he couldn't bear to eat it.

Maybe it's because Yu Zhining is the core of Qin Wangfu's power, obviously these two platters have put a lot of effort into it.There should be ten kinds of jerky, according to the different colors, they are spelled into the pattern of King Wen's gossip, and the preserved fruit is also spelled out into a peony picture.

Just for these two things, Luo Yan felt that today's meal was really an eye-opener.If this is left to future generations, these two things will depend on this craftsmanship, and the price will be three digits.If you add some gimmicks of pure natural and pollution-free ingredients, it can cost thousands of dollars in some places.

Yu Zhining urged Luo Yan and the two to put down their chopsticks, so no matter how hard Luo Yan could bear it, he couldn't resist the temptation to pick up a piece of jerky and taste it.Not to mention, good things are just different. Luo Yan also knew that the food he ate before was really low-grade, so he had the idea that the food in the Tang Dynasty was not good.

Try the preserved fruit again, it's sweet but not greasy, and slightly sour, Luo Yan couldn't help but pick it up a few times after tasting it.

Seeing that the three had tasted two dishes, the shopkeeper added three more hot dishes to the table.

The one in the middle is a roast duck, well, at least Luo Yan saw that it was a roast duck.However, according to the shopkeeper's introduction, it seems that it is not as advanced as the later Quanjude Roast Duck, but looking at the roast duck with its oily skin and crispy skin, Luo Yan doesn't think it is much worse.Next to it are sashimi and meatballs, which look rather ordinary.Wait, the sashimi seems a little too thin, what kind of knife does your chef use, it's so thin?

After the shopkeeper divided the roast duck with a knife and put a small plate with special seasoning in front of everyone, he signaled the three of them to start eating.

Luo Yan didn't know what the seasoning in the dish was dipped in, so he watched Yu Zhining's movements.Obviously, Luo Yan's IQ is absolutely arrears this time. After all, among the three dishes here, only the sashimi needs some extra seasoning.The roast duck dipping sauce that Luo Yan imagined was definitely overthinking.

With doubts in his heart, Luo Yan picked up a piece of roast duck and tasted it.

I really don’t know if I don’t eat it. It turns out that this roast duck doesn’t need to add any sauce to taste.The duck meat has a faint smell of wine. I am afraid that the duck was raised with wine or lees when it was alive. Secondly, the duck skin was smeared with honey. There are still a lot of spices.Taken together, this is simply a special upgraded version of honey barbecue.

After eating a piece of roast duck, pick up the sashimi and dip it in the seasoning in the small dish to taste it. The fish does not have too much fishy smell, and with the supplement of seasoning, Luo Yan thinks this is the best raw fish he has ever eaten piece.

The two tasted already made Luo Yan unable to stop, and the third meatball, which looks like an ordinary meatball, probably has a lot of mysteries in it.He picked up a meatball and put it in his mouth lightly, just biting it with his teeth, the elasticity made Luo Yan intoxicated.These are not the kind of meatballs made from various raw materials that cost a few dollars a catty in later generations. Since they can be used to entertain Yu Zhining, the quality is definitely top-notch.

After Luo Yan tasted the three dishes one by one, Luo Yan still chose to attack the roast duck. Although he ate a bit elegantly due to his status as a guest, it was obvious that Luo Yan sandwiched the roast duck more often.

When half of the three dishes were eaten, the shopkeeper brought another sweet soup and a pastry.Although it seemed that there were only seven dishes in total, each one cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and the portion was just enough to feed the three of Yu Zhining, basically the amount was very good.

After Luo Yan finished eating, he was also very impressed. After all, being able to control people's food intake is not an easy thing in itself, and the shopkeeper always chooses the timing very well every time, just enough to feed a few people. The taste is adjusted to the degree that the transition is very natural.This kind of service level is considered top in Datang, Luo Yan thought to himself.

After Yu Zhining finished eating a portion of sweet soup, he basically stopped his chopsticks. Luo Yan and Zhou Jin couldn't continue eating, so they just put on a show and then stopped their chopsticks.

After inquiring about the shopkeeper, he learned that the time was almost past noon, and the three of Luo Yan had been staying in this Tianranju for almost an hour.At that moment, Yu Zhining said: "I was chatting with my friend Zhou Jin, and I slipped out to have a good meal, but it has been an hour, and I need to take a rest and continue to deal with business affairs." Explaining the reason, Yu Zhining said to the shopkeeper again: "Today's account is recorded on the daily reception of Tiance Mansion. As for how to write it, just say that I entertain Luo Yan and Zhou Jin from Luzhou."

After speaking, Yu Zhining was ready to go downstairs.

However, what happened next made Yu Zhining stop.The shopkeeper said, "My lord, since you are the one who entertained Mr. Luo today, you should treat him as a small host. But can you please keep Mr. Luo's calligraphy for later scholars to pay their respects to?"

Speaking of this, it is best to eat and drink for nothing.However, Zhou Jin laughed at this time: "Shopkeeper, if you dare to ask for Luo Yan's characters, aren't you afraid of following in the footsteps of Zuixianlou?"

Zhou Jin's words made Luo Yan blush a little. Indeed, the last time he learned that Zuixianlou had lost a lot of money because he had left his words, Luo Yan felt a little sorry for him.

But the shopkeeper laughed: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid your news is outdated. Although the Zuixian Tower lost dozens of taels of silver the day before yesterday, since the Zuixian Tower was full from morning to night yesterday, visitors must come Order Xinfeng wine. With preparation, they made their money back in just one day. I am afraid that the business will get better and better in the future, so if they can get Luo Xianggong's calligraphy with a meal, it will be considered a loss. It's also a good thing."

Luo Yan turned his gaze to Yu Zhining.As the saying goes, guests do as they please, after all, Yu Zhining invited him to this meal. If he really asked himself to write something, Yu Zhining had to agree, otherwise it would be a real slap in the face.Yu Zhining nodded without even thinking about it. After all, this is still the business of King Qin, and through the conversation just now, Yu Zhining also felt that Luo Yan would definitely become a member of King Qin's residence, so this little thing was nothing.

Seeing Yu Zhining nodding, Luo Yan naturally had nothing to refuse.

"I didn't drink today, so it's hard for me to write poetry at this moment." Hearing these words, the shopkeeper's expression turned dark.

"However, after seeing the name Tianranju and eating some expensive food, it's not justified if I don't express it. I happen to have a couplet in my heart, please bring the paper from the shopkeeper." Luo Yan's turning point surprised the shopkeeper for a while. , and immediately told the buddy to bring up the banknotes.

Without waiting for Luo Yan's next move, the shopkeeper asked someone to bring a table to serve as a desk, and then watched the clerk spread the paper, and then went to the battle to start grinding the ink himself.

Seeing this treatment, Luo Yan was also a little moved.Although the other party's behavior is mixed with interests, but he has been in the capital for so long, and can treat him as a poor scholar with such respect, the shopkeeper of Tianranju can be regarded as No. 1.

When the shopkeeper finished grinding the ink, Luo Yan didn't take the refined Hu brush sent by the shopkeeper.Instead, he took out the bald pen from his sleeve, dipped it in the ink, concentrated his mind, and waved his hand to write "The guest is a natural residence, and he is a guest from the sky".

This time Luo Yan did not use running script, but Xingkai, an easy-to-recognize and very elegant font.It seems to have the addition of a brush, so no matter how you look at this picture, it feels like a kind of ethereal fairy.

Seeing Luo Yan carefully wash the bald pen and put it into his sleeve after writing, Yu Zhining clapped his hands and smiled, "Good calligraphy, good scholar."
