The spicy smell wafted out from the kitchen, and Xia Nu, who didn't like spicy food, had already shyly moved away. She had a good nose, and it would be uncomfortable if she couldn't smell this smell that hit her nose.
However, for those who like spicy food, this spicy smell is the most arousing to the taste buds and makes the tongue salivate.
This is the "fish over water" that Aunt Zhang made based on Shen Hao's description, a dish that is both sour and spicy. Shen Hao had liked to eat this food before, and when he finally tasted the familiar taste again after more than eight years, he was filled with emotion.
I am also full of praise for Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills.
In fact, now there is no need for Aunt Zhang to stay in Shen Hao's house as a cook. The business of Zhangjia Liquor Shop is so good that it is indescribable. Nowadays, many people from other places come here because of its reputation and stay outside before dawn waiting for the daily limit of 20 jars of Wuliangye. The family has long been extremely wealthy. A big house was built, a new wine cellar was built, and a lot of people were hired. Even the boy who had ignored the dog at home had someone come to his door to say that a matchmaker was here.
Whenever Aunt Zhang thinks of these things, she can't help but talk about how good Master Shen is, saying that the whole family has been blessed, and how could she have dared to imagine such a life before.
However, the Zhang family is nostalgic and grateful, and they are not stupid. They know the principle of passing down the craftsmanship from generation to generation, and will not sell the brewing recipe they learned from Shen Hao's recitation, no matter how much anyone pays. Others hate him so much that he doesn't dare to force him too much. This is also the relationship that Shen Hao is hiding above. If you had tried it elsewhere, you would have been ripped off.
She still works as a cook when she has money. According to Aunt Zhang, she just wants to repay her kindness, and she can do whatever she can to repay her. However, Shen Hao won't be able to eat the food cooked by Aunt Zhang for long. When he goes to Fengri City in the future, Aunt Zhang will not follow him. The only ones who could be brought there were Hu Tian, Xiao Ma and Xia Nu.
Pork fish, sweet and sour pork loin, tofu mixed with green onions, stir-fried cabbage, cold white meat, pork ribs soup, a jar of Wuliangye.
It was Chen Tianwen who was invited.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Mr. Shen Qi, oh no, Mr. Shen would treat me to dinner after being promoted. What an honor!" Chen Tianwen smiled and raised the wine bowl, touched it with Shen Hao, and drank it all in one gulp. He was not a good drinker before, but now he is showing signs of turning into an alcoholic. It is all caused by Wuliangye. Compared with other alcoholic drinks, Wuliangye tastes so good. It feels like drinking silver, so comfortable!
"Try this fish, a new dish."
"Hmm! Hmm! It tastes good! You can drink it!"
"boom!"
After dividing the fish and drinking half the jar of wine, Chen Tianwen's face turned red due to the odor of alcohol.
"Master Shen, you never suffer a loss. Tell me, treat me to a drink. Do you have anything else you want me to sort out for you?" Chen Tianwen's words seemed casual, but his eyes shone with shrewdness.
Shen Hao poured another bowl of wine for the other party, and his own wine bowl was also full, and then said: "I will go to Fengri City to take up my post soon. I prepared the stall here in Licheng and left it to others." I’m worried, will you help me?”
"Crack!" The bamboo chopsticks in Chen Tianwen's hand were broken by him, but he didn't seem to notice it and looked at Shen Hao in disbelief.
"What? You don't want to? If you come to Black Flag Camp, you can improve your staff by half a level, and you will also have more independence. You no longer need to be controlled by hundreds of households in Licheng Guard Station on many things, and I took office as Black Flag in Fengri City. The Hundred Household Officers of the Ying can also agree with you, and your future prospects will be much better than yours at C-Zi Banner. After all, with your age and cultivation level, you really have to change your path if you want to continue climbing up."
"Why...looking for me?"
"You are the most suitable."
Chen Tianwen smiled but was speechless. Only you know your mood. In the past six months, he has taken the initiative to show his kindness and placed his treasure on Shen Hao instead of choosing Tang Qingyuan because he took a fancy to Shen Hao's potential and temperament. Maybe there will be a big reward if we complement each other? Who wanted to come so quickly.
Not to mention that the general flag of the Black Flag Battalion can be directly raised by half a level, which is considered a promotion. Just say that the Black Flag Battalion is more comfortable with an independent affiliation than staying in the Six Flags of Xuanqing Guard.
It's just that Chen Tianwen never thought that this big cake, which was targeted by many people, would fall on his head.
To answer or not to answer? This doesn't require much thought.
He picked up the wine bowl and offered a toast to Shen Hao, and the matter was settled.
"After I leave, you need to recruit the remaining group of Black Flag Battalion as soon as possible. You can control the personnel yourself, but you have to pay attention to one thing. Use as many people as possible in Black Flag Battalion who are not followers. Honorable and military personnel There are fewer of them, but we can’t live without them, and we have to control the speed.”
"Don't worry, sir, I understand." Chen Tianwen changed his previous casual attitude and placed himself in a straight position.
Chen Tianwen was finalized, and then Wang Jian and Zhang Liao Shen Hao also came forward to comfort him. As for whether these two people had other ideas in their minds, he didn't care. He believed that these two were smart people who understood the pros and cons, and they themselves were indeed not good enough. Ge took over the position of the general flag of the Black Flag Camp.
As for whether Wang Jian and Zhang Liao would have any friction with Chen Tianwen, Shen Hao didn't care. That was a problem that Chen Tianwen needed to deal with. If he didn't have this ability, Chen Tianwen wouldn't be in the position for a long time.
...
On the tenth day of December, Shen Hao officially completed the handover and went to Fengri City ahead of Tang Qingyuan. Chen Tianwen, Wang Jian, Zhang Liao, etc. all came to see him off, and Lin Xiner also stood by to say goodbye and chatted with Xia Nu for a while.
For a moment, everyone felt emotional in their hearts. If we wave goodbye today, we may not feel the same when we meet again tomorrow.
...
When Shen Hao arrived at Fengri City, Jiang Cheng had already taken office, one day earlier than him. After completing the formalities, Shen Hao wanted to visit the new head of Xuanqing Guard in Fengri City, but was told that Wu Changhe Qianhu had gone to visit the cities below and was not in the Qianhu Office. Then he followed a tester from the Qianhu Office's logistics department to the accommodation arranged for him.
What Shen Hao likes most about Xuan Qingwei is that he takes good care of the daily life of those with titles, without having to worry about it himself.
The new courtyard is smaller than the one in Licheng, but the land in Fengri City is very expensive, so it is good to live in a separate courtyard near Qianhusuo.
Because Shen Hao brought his housekeeper, servants, and slaves, there was nothing else in the yard except some necessary household items, and he needed to clean them up as soon as possible.
After returning to the Qianhu Office, Shen Hao was handed over to an interrogator named Wang Yiming. Shen Hao had met him before and knew that this person was Chen Yiyun's former adjutant.
"Where can Chen Baihu go?" Shen Hao asked casually.
"This... subordinate doesn't know."
Shen Hao said nothing and continued to look down at the various materials of Qianhusuo Black Flag Camp for more than half a year. From accounts to measures to various files and documents reported from below, as well as orders sent from above.
By the time I raised my head again, it was already time to get off work.
"My lord, we have prepared a carriage for you, and two guards are already waiting outside."
"Yes. Notify all the Black Flag Battalion commanders at all the guard posts below to come over at 1:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow to discuss matters. Leave is not allowed."
