Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Hotpot Hospitality
Zhang Sheng did not know about this, but when he heard that he had been rewarded with so much silver, he immediately said excitedly, “Second Young Master, there’s really too much.”
‘”Not much. You deserve all of this. In the future, everyone will be rewarded as long as they make contributions. However, this Young Master’s reward is clear. We still need to review it later. In the future, we need to form a habit of summarizing and summarizing good experiences and correcting inadequate mistakes after every battle.” Zhang Chao’s voice rang out.
Hearing these words in the country’s ears, let him is unable to keep nodding. He found that following Zhang Chao could indeed learn a lot of useful things.
For example, the first phrase, “regime comes out of the barrel of a gun.” And the current practice of summing up a battle, he thought, was correct and a good habit.
Zhao Yun, who was standing beside him, also saw everything in his eyes. The feeling in his heart was truly tremendous.
After Xueyi left from his master, he saw too many people living in poverty along the way and saw too many officers and soldiers fighting with bandits. Often, after winning a battle, one side would never conclude something like this. What was appreciated in terms of merit was that everyone ate and drank a meal, and then sat on the outbreak of the next war, risking their lives in a battle.
Moreover, even if there was a victory, it was the credit of being an official. It was no different from the ordinary soldiers below. In fact, for many people, winning and defeating did not make much difference. After winning, they would still lead the most humble and ordinary life in the past.
But here, he did see something different. That was the friendship of brotherhood, as well as the words that Zhang Chao had spoken that were obviously bewitching. The way he had set a lofty goal proved that he was a good general with troops. And following these generals, how could the brothers below not risk their lives?
Zhang Chao did not think that these words would bring Zhao Yun what kind of touch. The so-called summing up of experience after a battle was what he had envisioned, and he had no intention of exerting anything on the spot. Now that he finished speaking, he smiled at Guo Jia and Zhao Yun and said, “Let’s go back to the city!”
At the city gate, Zhang Jie had already led the soldiers guarding the city to stand here and wait.
When they, including the refugees, saw the cavalry returning, they all revealed expressions of respect and envy. Of course, there was still more fear. The nearly a thousand Yellow Scarf Army had been defeated so quickly just now. If these methods were used on them, wouldn’t it be impossible for them to resist?
Some of the youngsters did not think of this. What they were thinking was whether they could join the cavalry. Or that, how impressive! There should be no need to worry about eating or drinking.
“Welcome back, Second Childe. I just don’t know what to do with these refugees. Do you want them to enter the city?” Zhang Jie bowed halfway when he rode his horse to Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao had thought of this problem long ago. He opened his mouth and said, “Screen them one by one. Those who have no identity problems can be put into the city. However, we must strictly prohibit them from causing trouble. Otherwise, the Military Justice Department will be in charge. If there are not enough city guards, you can report to me. I will arrange for cavalry to help.”
This was what Zhang Jie wanted. What he needed was the help of the cavalry. He immediately replied loudly, “Yes, Second Young Master Jin Zun’s order.”
The people outside the city immediately became honest when they heard this conversation. The result of the disturbance might be death, a result that no one wanted.
“Fengxiao, look at this.” Not immediately horse into the city, zhang chao asked to the side of the country.
What Zhang Chao said just now was very clear. Screening into the city, and this power was in the hands of the City Defense Forces. In other words, he said that if you had a problem, you would have a problem. If you said that there was no problem, then there would be no problem. This could play a very positive role in better managing the City Defense Forces. However, the number of city guards was limited after all. If there was really a large-scale disturbance, it would be difficult to wait for the cavalry to appear. “Lord, do you think it’s possible to pick some strong ones? If they want, they can absorb the order of the city guards?”
“That’s right. This way, you can better defend the city. General Zhang Jie, can you hear me?” Zhang Chao said with a look of admiration.
“This subordinate understands.” Zhang Jie hurriedly agreed. Although he was in charge of the city defense army, he still needed the consent of the satrap to recruit a large number of people. Now that Zhang Miao wasn’t around, it was the same thing that Second Childe said.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Zhang Chao burst into laughter and was the first to enter the city. Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and eight hundred cavalry followed behind.
At the entrance of the Second Childe Mansion, Bai Tong, Lu Fei, and the others were looking forward to it.
The news that Zhang Chao had won the battle had already been sent back. He couldn’t go out of the city to welcome them, so he waited at the entrance of the mansion.
Bai Tong and the others immediately greeted Zhang Chao and the others as they turned to the street. “Second Childe.” The women said excitedly.
“Haha, I said it would be fine.” Looking at the concerned gazes in Bai Tong and the others’ eyes, Zhang Chao was very touched. It was as if his family was waiting for him to return home.
“Second Childe is omnipotent. Naturally, he will be fine.” Bai Tong hurriedly echoed.
“Haha, alright, there’s no need for my family to praise me like this. In this way, I’ll immediately have people prepare good food and wine. Also, take out the Tyrant Drunk. I want to get drunk with Zilong.” Zhang Chao laughed loudly.
Having received the order, Bai Tong immediately sent someone to handle it. In the mouth of the second young master’s mansion, zhang chao is pulling zhaoyun with his left hand and country with his right hand, the three of them strode towards the courtyard.
The people in the mansion were very quick-witted. A pure copper hotpot had already been placed in the middle of the table. After the three of them sat down, a jar of Overlord Drunkenness opened, and the rich wine fragrance immediately overflowed. It was not too much to say that the entire room was filled with fragrance.
Zhao Yunzuo was on Zhang Chao’s left hand, and his mood couldn’t calm down at this moment.
It was because everything in front of him was something he had never seen before. For example, how could the aroma of wine be so dense? It was truly unheard of. Another example was what was placed on the table. It was a hot summer day, so what was the point of placing such a thing on the table?
Tyrant Drunkenness was not spread outside, so it was only natural for him to sigh when he first heard about it. However, the matter regarding this copper pot was extremely rare and urgent.
Speaking of this bronze pot, it was actually the hot pot that the common people usually ate. To put it bluntly, it is to boil the food in a hot pot with water (soup) to conduct heat and boil (rinse) the food.
Its history, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties has appeared, but not widely used. It was during the reign of Emperor Qianlong that it truly became famous.
At that time, Emperor Qianlong wanted to entertain some old friends of his life, but because there were too many people, ordinary venues could not be set up. In addition, it was the first month of that year. It was cold outside, and it was very cold. It thought of eating hot pot, so it was lively, lively, and could be set anywhere. With this, it ran 530 hot pot tables in the palace. The grand occasion could be said to be the most popular in China at that time, which made hot pot famous all over the world.
Today, zhang chao is to use the hotpot situation to receive zhaoyun, to ask why do so, the answer is very simple, he needs to stay in the shortest time this person, he thought of this kind of most approachable, even can be naked opportunity.
Now it was summer, the weather outside was already very hot, eating hot pot such a steaming thing, it could be imagined that people who paid attention to appearance would not be able to bear it. Once a person couldn’t stand it, they began to take off their jackets and ignore their image. Naturally, the relationship between them would become closer.
It could be said that in order to recruit Zhao Yun this member of the general, in order to dispel the other party’s worries in the heart, Zhang Chao could be said to be painstakingly.
Similarly don’t understand zhang chao mind country, maintained a smile on the surface, but in the heart for hot pot this thing is also very curious, apparently this is the first time he saw, for such things how to eat, good taste heart also muttered.
Of course, country more don’t understand is zhang chao zhaoyun attitude.
Just now, Zhao Yun had only shown himself in front of the yellow scarf army that did not have any military qualities. He did not even kill Bu Ji. Perhaps such a person might have some abilities, but was it really worth recruiting like this?
Country don’t understand, naturally is not zhang chao so familiar with the ability of the three kingdoms.
Zhang Chao was different, in order to keep Zhao Yun, he thought that no matter what he did now, it was not too much. “Feng Xiao, Zi Long, let me introduce one. This is called a hotpot. After the water boils, you can eat it. Slices of mutton need to be boiled for a while, and the vegetables you just picked can be eaten when they are in water. Haha, it will be quite delicious when you touch the chili sauce, soy sauce and other seasonings on the side.” As he spoke, he threw a whole plate of mutton into the pot.
Immediately, the mutton began to blossom in the water. Not long after, the color started to change, as if it was completely ripe, and a unique smell of mutton also permeated out.
“You can eat now.” Zhang Chao laughed loudly, and then he took the lead to pick up the chopsticks and grab the mutton in the pot. Then, he dipped some seasoning into it and added it into his mouth.
“Uh, not bad. It tastes good. Fresh mutton is delicious.” While chewing, Zhang Chao nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing what Zhang Chao did, country and Zhao Long glanced at each other, this also picked up the chopsticks have a way to learn, when the food, the two of them are indeed praised.
“Master, this kind of delicious food is unheard of before. How did you know?” When country will be a piece of lamb digested into the stomach, in sigh delicious taste, is also asked out loud.
“Haha, I’m afraid you don’t believe me. These are all from my dreams.” Zhang Chao pretended to be profound as he spoke.
