There is a forbidden area [-] kilometers away from the suburbs of Beijing, which is where the patrol camp is located. At this time, the sun is shining brightly, and the snow on the ground has dried up. It is a rare good weather.

The envoys from various countries were brought to this military camp, and they all looked around curiously, trying to see something.

Zhao Ting, as the main reception envoy, was wearing a grand princely attire today and led the envoys to the viewing stand.

When they first saw this immature prince come to receive them, the envoys were very unhappy, thinking that Da Jin deliberately sent a yellow-mouthed boy to humiliate them, but the minister of Honglu Temple said that it was Da Jin who was under one man and ten thousand people. Above Prince Rui, the emperor's nephew, if everyone thinks he is young, Honglu Temple can call the shots and replace it with other princes to receive him.

The meaning of the Minister of Honglu Temple is very clear. Since everyone does not care about their high-standard reception, then they can completely lower the standard of reception. You must know that Prince Rui is very likely to be the future prince, and he can come to receive the envoys of these small countries. But it's enough to save face.

"Your Highness, I wonder what we can see today?" the Tatar envoy asked with a gloomy expression on his brow.

They wanted to send a message back to the country yesterday, but they didn't expect that the sender would be sent back as soon as he left the post office. It was said that during the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Chang'an City was under martial law, and outsiders were not allowed to enter and leave Chang'an City.

Zhao Ting was considered tall among boys of the same age, but he looked extremely thin in front of the Tatars, but no one could ignore his existence. In the past few days, this Prince Rui's hospitality was impressive. They are not comparable to children of the same age, and they have been caught in the trap of language several times without knowing it.

"Today is a military parade, so it's natural to see the demeanor of our Jin army." Zhao Ting said proudly with his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised.

The Tatar envoy let out a cold snort of disdain, "What's there to see? The demeanor of the army will naturally be seen on the battlefield. The two countries are at war, and they must have seen each other more."

In this regard, the Tatars have a sense of superiority. The Jin soldiers are extremely small in front of them. They can smash people into pieces with one fist. If such an army is not large in number, how can it stop their army? pace?

Zhao Ting didn't argue with him, just said: "Let's wait and see."

"The emperor is here!" With a loud shout, all the ministers knelt to greet the holy car. Foreign envoys did not need to kneel down, but they had to bow their heads and wait for the holy car to pass before they could raise their heads.

"Free of courtesy... Pingshen..."

The emperor took his seat, glanced around, locked onto Shen Jia's position, and greeted the envoys: "How did you rest last night?"

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your concern. I will wait for a good night's sleep last night." Wacha's envoy answered the words flatteringly. From now on, the relationship between Dajin and Wacha will be one of both prosperity and loss, so he naturally has to lower his profile.

The Tatar envoys wished to spit in the face of their allies on the opposite side. They thought that the two countries were the strongest alliances, but they did not expect that these days they saw the envoys of Wacha become more and more indifferent to them, and they became more and more humble to Jin .

He sneered and said: "It's good, but it's a bit lacking in fun. Dajin's women are too weak, they can't even have fun in bed, so only Dajin's men can match, haha!"

The courtiers of the Jin Dynasty cast contemptuous glances at the Tatar envoys when they heard the words. These barbarians were so vulgar that they could say all kinds of obscene words, which really polluted the ears of the saints.

Zhao Zhang didn't bother to talk to him, just said: "How does the minister of Honglu Temple do things? Since the Tatar envoys look down on our Dajin women, why should they be served? Is there no Tatar woman in this city?" ?"

The minister of Honglu Temple hurriedly explained: "Going back to the emperor, it was the Tatar envoys who saw the beauty of my Dajin woman, and must take it back to enjoy, so I have no choice but to..."

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Zhang jumped up against the case and scolded angrily: "My Dajin woman, Jinjiaoyugui, how can I serve those barbarians who drink blood? If you don't take pity on me, you still take pity on me. The post house sent off the girls, and all the servants who waited on them were changed to servants."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Tatar envoy was about to get angry when he was pulled back by the envoys next to him, and they glared at him one by one. Originally, they could have enjoyed themselves as envoys, but now they were implicated. It's no wonder they were in a good mood.

The Minister of Honglu Temple comforted them kindly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, the time has come, should the military parade begin?"

Zhao Zhang winked at General Xu who was on the side, and the latter waved a large flag, and then the drums rang, and the sound of uniform footsteps suddenly came from the barracks to the east.

The 20 soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion were all lined up in an astonishing formation, but the military parade did not use everyone. All the outstanding soldiers were selected, and the brand-new armor weapons were unveiled. Everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Shen Jia stared intently at the thousand-strong military parade. They were so handsome. The black armor made neat brushing sounds as they walked, and the blue-faced and long-toothed mask gave them a bit of aura. When they approached, Shen Jia Jia couldn't even hear the sounds around her, her mind was dragged into the vortex of fear, only the pure black armor moved in her eyes, as if she was in a boundless battlefield.

This kind of deterrence does not rely on the exquisiteness of the armor, nor the ugliness of the mask, but the aura emanating from the soldiers. Even the Tatar envoys subconsciously held their breath and followed the thousand-man team with their eyes. Moving, eyes glazed over.

When the team reached the front of the holy car, the thousand people suddenly raised their spears high and roared three times. The momentum was so shocking that even the surrounding birds and beasts ran away one after another.

When this team was completely out of everyone's sight, everyone still couldn't come back to their senses. The military generals are better. The civil servants suppress more than one head of the military generals in the court every day. The military generals have always acted according to their faces. Now seeing this group of Elite soldiers, only then do they know that their arrogance actually comes from the prosperity and stability of the Jin Dynasty. If it is a troubled time, how decent can civil servants be?

"Hmph, it's just me, what's the use of looking good?" the Tatar envoy whispered.

General Xu waved the flag again, this time it was a troop of cavalry, and the horses that could be used in the military parade must be carefully selected BMW horses. Long knives, long knives are made of steel, and anyone who knows weapons can tell at a glance that these long knives are absolutely fine.

There are many iron ore deposits in the grassland, but the Tatars are not good at digging ore and smelting iron, and even the level of prospecting is very poor, guarding a place of treasure without knowing it.

Later, a minister went on a mission to the North and made a suggestion that the Jin Dynasty could find someone to help mine the mines, and the iron ore dug out would be divided equally between the two countries. Ironware, but the craftsmanship is far inferior to that of the Central Plains, and the weapons are not as exquisite and rigid as those of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Wacha envoys, they could not see anything other than the big sword. They decided to let Princess Dajin marry some such big swords as dowry, and the gold, silver and jade articles would be avoided.

Zhao Zhang glanced at them, with a plan in mind, beckoned Zhao Ting to come over, and whispered some instructions, Zhao Ting nodded in response, thinking about how to do this business to be the most cost-effective.

The military parade lasted for half a day, and the luncheon was held in the barracks. They ate barbecue and flatbread, accompanied by delicious beef bone soup. Although it was rough, it also had a different flavor.

Shen Jia took a bite of the barbecue, but felt that the taste was not strong enough, so she went to ask the cook for seasoning, mixed a bowl of barbecue sauce, and started to grill the meat by herself.

When the meat was roasted, he cut a slice, sprinkled chili powder and cumin powder, and took a bite. It was tender and juicy, with moderate spiciness. His taste buds were opened, and his appetite improved a lot.

Zhao Zhang walked over smelling the aroma, and seeing that the meat on his plate was getting less and less, he stopped and said, "Cut a piece for me to taste."

Shen Jia raised his head, the corner of his mouth was still stained with a little sauce, he swallowed the food in his mouth and got up to salute, then cut a few slices of barbecue skewers with his own hands, put them on bamboo sticks, spread a layer of barbecue sauce on the fire and roasted slowly, The thinly sliced ​​meat was cooked very quickly, Shen Jia knew his preference, sprinkled only a little chili powder, and halved the cumin powder, then handed the meat to him, "Taste the emperor, this is a temporary preparation by the minister." Barbecue sauce, a bit heavy on taste."

Zhao Zhang often eats with him, so of course he knows that his taste is salty and spicy. After a taste, it tastes really good. No wonder many people around look here frequently, staring at the meat on Shen Jia's plate with covetous eyes.

The envoys from various countries also followed after seeing this. They had more say in barbecue. After all, their daily food was mostly barbecue. A piece of barbecue, but Dajin's cooks always have a way to make a variety of seasonings, which sublimates the taste of barbecue to more than one level.

They were very satisfied with eating, but they could always smell a strong aroma in their noses. They didn't know where the aroma came from before, and they used several kinds of seasonings in exchange, but they couldn't taste it in their mouths. I think it tastes bad.

It wasn't until they saw the Emperor of Jin walking towards a young civil servant that he actually wanted to eat the meat roasted by that official, that everyone locked their eyes on Shen Jia.

"One more skewer." Zhao Zhang sat directly beside Shen Jia, waiting to eat his roasted meat, scaring the surrounding civil servants and generals.

Shen Jia was originally sitting with other officials from the household department, seeing this, he had no choice but to give way to the emperor. There was a vacuum within ten steps around him, which made Shen Jia feel ashamed of being surrounded by others.

He whispered: "What's the matter with you? If you want to eat barbecue, I'll roast it for you at home. You sit down in public, and I'm under a lot of pressure."

The corner of Zhao Zhang's mouth curled up, and he stirred the sauce in the bowl with a spoon, and said in a low voice, "Whoever makes your barbecue look the most delicious, I couldn't help being attracted here."

"That's right, this is my secret sauce. After this birthday banquet is over, I will open a barbecue restaurant. It will definitely make money. Do you want to invest in it?"

"What kind of stock do you invest in? I'll just be the boss's wife." While talking, Shen Jia's meat was also roasted, handed it to him, and gave him a supercilious look: "Leave quickly after eating."

Zhao Zhang enjoyed the service of his ministers openly and aboveboard. No one would think too much, so he refused to leave easily. He said, "Can't I help you with publicity? When the time comes, I will give you a plaque and write: The world The first barbecue, guarantees a prosperous business and a lot of money."

Shen Jia thinks this method is good, the emperor is the top class of this era, the vane of the trend, every word he says is more useful than any advertisement.

He offered a glass of fruit juice graciously, and said with a smile: "Then the emperor should eat more, let them watch it for a while, and remember to show that it tastes good."

There is no need to express this at all. Zhao Zhang stopped because he thought it was delicious. After eating three skewers in a row, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. Take it to the imperial chef, let them use this sauce to roast some meat, and give it to the lovers to taste."

Shen Jia dared not speak out, he didn't have enough of the sauce he made, so why did he give it away.

Zhao Zhang looked back at him, raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "I didn't expect Shen Aiqing's cooking skills to be so good. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious barbecue. Do you mind if I invite other Aiqings to taste it?"

Shen Jiapi smiled and said, "Naturally, this is my honor."

"Okay, Shen Aiqing is generous, and I can't be stingy, so I will reward you with a shop and open a barbecue restaurant, so that the common people can also eat such delicious barbecue. As for the income, I will share half with you."

Shen Jia's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Zhao Zhang would open up the matter of opening the store and say, in this way, the store is approved by the imperial court, and the business must be good, but why do you feel that he is losing out on half of the share for each person?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Shen Jia thanked her.

The imperial chef moved very quickly, and not long after, the eunuch and court lady came up with the grilled meat, because Shen Jia didn't make too much sauce, and the amount of grilled meat was limited, so each person only shared a small piece.

And because of the small amount, many old men swallowed it without tasting the taste, and then left a mouth full of spicy taste. Aftertaste bit by bit, they feel that the barbecue just eaten is delicious in the world.

"Master Shen, I don't know how you prepared this sauce? Can you tell me the recipe, how about I exchange this piece of jade with you?" Bei Chen Wang walked over, holding the jade pendant he had worn before, which was worth a lot. Liancheng, it's a bit of a loss to change the sauce recipe.

However, his original intention was not to ask for any prescription, but to dislike Zhao Zhang and Shen Jia's appearance of being proud of each other.

"I'm sorry, my lord. Originally, a sauce recipe is not worth anything. You don't need to exchange things for the minister, and you will offer it with both hands, but the emperor just said that if you want the minister to open a barbecue shop to do business, it is not easy for the minister to send this recipe out. Sorry, please forgive me." Shen Jia said neither humble nor overbearing.

"The two are not in conflict. This king is not trying to grab your recipe for profit, but to satisfy his own appetite. Since Mr. Shen has no intention of exchanging, this king will not force it."

When the crowd of onlookers heard this, they felt that Shen Jia's stomach was too small, and she was not even willing to take out a sauce recipe, and even used the emperor as a shield. How could the emperor care about a sauce recipe?

The envoys of various countries were also eager to make a move. If they could get this prescription and bring it back to the country, they would definitely be appreciated by the lord, and maybe they could open a shop and make a small profit. It must be self-defeating to ask for it.

The Tatar envoy stared at Shen Jia full of calculations, and his eyes fell on the princes of the Jin Dynasty, and he had a plan in his mind.
