Straight man of steel

Chapter 22 The Prince's Favor (Please recommend a ticket)

"Delicious, I have never tasted so delicious, this trip is worthwhile.

I heard that this restaurant was opened because of Mr. Zhang. Could it be that Mr. Zhang has some magic formula? "

For Wei Xin to call Zhang Yuan like this, he has already been included in the list of people worth making friends with. After all, the son Zhang Yuan is very different from the son Xiang Jing.

Wei Xin's question caught Zhang Yuan's heart, and this was a hard-won publicity opportunity.

"Reporting to the son of the Marquis of Jianling, the villain has no magic formula.

The dishes on these plates were cooked in an iron vessel called Zhuo's iron pot made by the Zhuo family. As for the soup, just because I heard that two noblemen came, the villain added some medicinal materials that are good for the body. "

It is reasonable for Wei Xin and Xiang Jing to be so amazing in stir-fried dishes. As for other stewed dishes, it is because the Han people usually cook with a lot of salt, so most people have a strong taste.

When you drink these soups without any seasoning, you will naturally feel a special taste.

Wei Xin remembered Zhang Yuan's answer in his heart, and then immersed himself in the delicious food just like Xiang Jing.

During the dinner, Wei Xin and Xiang Jing always chatted about some things that Zhang Yuan had no access to at the moment, and ignored the other three people at all, and occasionally asked Zhang Yuan what ingredients were used in these dishes.

Sima Xiangru and the county magistrate Wang Ji suddenly seemed a little redundant. As time went by, Zhang Yuan heard more and more things, and the identities of the two nobles finally became clear.

The father of Wei Xin, the son of the Marquis of Jianling, is the Marquis of Jianling, Wei Wan, who is also the royal censor of the current dynasty and also the prince and tutor. The son of Yao Qiuhou's family has an unusual background. His father is the prime minister of the current court. Yao Qiuhou Liu She, Xiang Yu's ancestry.

Although Zhang Yuan didn't know what happened to Wei Xin and Xiang Jing later, but now he is definitely the group of dudes with the highest status in the big man.

After finishing the meal, Xiang Jing asked Zhang Yuan.

"Young master Zhang, the utensils that can cook such delicious dishes must be extraordinary, please show me and the prince to have a look."

Zhang Yuan's waist had never straightened up after seeing these two people.

"My villain, I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you and the son of the Marquis of Jianling."

Seeing Xiang Jing nodded, Zhang Yuan dared to go to the back kitchen to fetch the iron pot, and brought two cooks on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, Young Master, this is what the villain calls Zhuo's iron pot.

Today's dishes are cooked by this pot and two chefs. "

Wei Xin must have guessed something, and showed a very sensible smile to Zhang Yuan.

"I don't know where you can buy this ironware. I heard that it was made by the Zhuo family, so it must be available in Zhuo's shops."

"I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of these two nobles. There are only three such iron pots in the world now. Although Zhuo intends to build some, he has been delayed for some time due to some difficulties.

If the two adults don't dislike it, the villain will let people wash two of them and give them to the two nobles.

Even the cooks in the Hou's mansion would not use this thing. The restaurant of the villain goes out of business from time to time. It is better to let the two chefs go to the Hou's mansion to cook delicacies for the nobles. It is considered a good thing that the villain found them for them. A good way out. "

Seeing Zhang Yuan's appearance, Wei Xin and Xiang Jing burst into laughter.

"Interesting and interesting. I didn't expect that Linqiong is still a place with outstanding individuals. Since Mr. Zhang said so, Brother Xiang Jing and I will be disrespectful. If you can come to Chang'an in the future, you can use this jade pendant to come to Jianlinghou government."

Speaking of which, Wei Xin took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan put down the iron pot, bowed his body at ninety degrees, and stepped forward to catch the jade pendant with both hands.

"Thank you, Prince Jianling, the villain is very grateful."

For Wei Xin and Xiang Jing, promising a small favor to Zhang Yuan is just a trivial matter.

The effect of those two iron pots and two chefs would be beyond Zhang Yuan's expectation.

But relying on Zhang Yuan's identity, even with the addition of a Zhuo family, there is no way to compete with a finger of these two nobles, so it is better to follow their wishes and gain their favor.

Wei Xin and Xiang Jing's purpose of coming here has been achieved. After looking at each other, Xiang Jing said to the county magistrate Wang Ji and Zhang Yuan.

"Wang County Magistrate, we two brothers still have some things to do, so we need to leave first.

Mr. Zhang, I hope to see you in Chang'an, haha. "

After the two nobles left, the county magistrate Wang Ji took a meaningful look at Zhang Yuan and left.

As for Sima Xiangru, he almost went berserk right away. He probably hasn't figured out what happened. He just feels that Zhang Yuan took away his great opportunity to reach the sky.

That Wei Xin is the eldest son of Wei Wan, and by using Wei Xin, he will definitely be able to get in touch with the crown prince Liu Che.

Today Zhang Yuan used the Zhuo family's resources for his own personal gain, and now he can't care about Sima Xiangru anymore.

I just thought about how to explain to Zhuo Wenjun and Zhuo Wangsun after returning to Zhuo Mansion later.

This Wei Xin gave him a jade pendant, and the servants in the restaurant also saw it. Zhang Yuan couldn’t kill all these people. Even if he killed them, he couldn’t explain why these people disappeared. Even Zhang Yuan couldn't stop Sima Xiangru's mouth.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still can't think of a lie that can be completely dispelled. Zhang Yuan has already planned to carry out the thick-skinned spirit to the end, and just resist it.

When returning to Zhuo Mansion, night had not yet fallen, Zhang Yuan walked towards the inner courtyard obediently.

Zhuo Wangsun should know everything that happened in the restaurant at noon. There is no one around Zhang Yuan who he can trust, not even Xiao Qing.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Zhang Yuan calmed down, put on what he thought was a bright smile, opened the door and walked in.

"Master, I'm back from the banquet."

Zhuo Wangsun put down the account book in his hand and said in pretended surprise.

"Ayuan, you smile so happily, could it be that you have gained something?"

"The head of the family is really wise. Originally, the villain thought that it would be difficult to promote the iron pot out of Linqiong, but I didn't expect that the two nobles who were invited by the county magistrate today had unusual identities. The villain saw that the opportunity was rare, so he made his own decision. He sent two iron pots to the two nobles, and also lent them the chef in the restaurant.

The two noble men Xiangbi returned to Chang'an, and with a little publicity, the name of Zhuo's iron pot was quickly spread throughout Chang'an city.

Once there is a trend at the feet of the Son of Heaven, other places will follow suit.

The villain has already made up his mind, he will live in the workshop tomorrow, if the output of wrought iron does not increase, and the cost of making iron pots cannot be reduced, the villain will not return to Zhuo's mansion. "

Zhang Yuan prepared this set of rhetoric all the way, in order to confuse it, hoping that Zhuo Wangsun could see clearly that this matter is actually beneficial to the Zhuo family.After all, even if Zhang Yuan wants to transfer Wei Xin's favor to Zhuo Wangsun, he has no way to do it.

"Oh? That's really hard work for you, Ayuan. Let's not mention this matter for now. Today, I heard from Wen Jun that you said yesterday that there are other ways to tell this old man?"

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy. The two pits in front of Zhuo Wangsun had already been dug by Zhang Yuan, and there was a cliff behind him. Zhang Yuan had to choose one to jump into right now.

ps: Please have pity on me. Even though the writing is not good, I still want some warmth. Please recommend tickets.
