I……

Guan Huaigong almost turned around and rushed back to Tiancheng. He went to the governor's platform and asked for someone else to help the gangster in front of him.

Guan Huaigong's mouth twitched, but he still held the reins and clasped his fists, nodding: "I understand, I understand."

Zhu Feng hummed and ordered: "Now that you understand everything, go to the city and tell the officials in Yangzhou City and those who are absent from the exams that I will invite them to dinner today. Who will do it?"

If you don’t come, you won’t give me face! If you don’t give me face, I will chop off their heads!”

Guan Huaigong's whole body was numb.

There are no such unreasonable people in the world.

But Guan Huaigong looked back and looked at the two thousand feather forest guards and the thousand brocade guards who came to Yangzhou City together from the capital this time.

Guan Huaigong, who had just been promoted from clerk of Zhili Governor's Yamen to metropolitan officer, still chose to obey orders.

Guan Huaigong entered Yangzhou City first with only two officers from the Governor's Yamen.

soon.

The officials in Yangzhou City knew about the request of His Highness King Qin.

In fact, when Zhu Feng and the others set foot in Yangzhou Mansion, the various yamen in Yangzhou City had already received the news.

For this reason, Yangzhou has already made preparations.

The most luxurious Jiangnan Tower in the city is on the Jinwan River. It is closed today and banquets are being spread out just to wait for the arrival of His Highness the King of Qin. Officials all over the city entertained the King of Qin to wash his hands.

When Guan Huaigong brought Zhu Ping's message that he wanted to invite the entire Yangzhou city officials to a banquet, everyone was surprised.

The name of King Qin has been remembered by many people in the official circles in the past two years.

Who dares to let that man treat me?

But when they thought that if they didn't obey that man's words, they would be beheaded, no one dared to say anything.

"We just treat today's banquet at Jiangnan Tower as the prince's invitation to us."

Seeing that Guan Huaigong, who came to deliver the message, had left, someone whispered a suggestion.

"Good! This is a great thing to say!"

"Let's go out of the city to pick up the driver as soon as possible, so as not to waste time."

When the officials of Yangzhou City were about to leave the city to meet Zhu Xiang.

A police officer has already come in to report.

"My lords, His Highness the King of Qin has sent someone to tell you that he and his people are already at the Jiangnan Tower, waiting for you to come and sit down at the table."

As soon as these words came out, the officials who had gathered at the Yangzhou Magistrate's Yamen earlier were stunned again.

"Prince Qin actually knows that we are going to entertain him at the Jiangnan Tower today?"

Everyone was surprised.

This shows that the situation in Yangzhou City is controlled by the King of Qin.

But it's not a good sign.

"It's better to go there quickly. If we make this prince unhappy, none of us will be able to please him."

For a moment, everyone was afraid of having their heads chopped off, so they rushed to Jiangnan Tower one after another.

Jiangnan Tower.

Zhu Fangzheng walked into the back kitchen with Guan Huaigong, his hands behind his back.

The chefs had received orders from the government earlier and had been busy for a long time. When they saw that the owner had arrived early, they all panicked.

"Sir, how much money would Yangzhou City spend on this banquet?"

Zhu Xi didn't know where he got the spatula, so he rummaged through the dishes that were already on the plate.

It's a dish I don't understand.

He just flipped it twice, and the originally delicate plate suddenly became a mess. The smiling face of the chef who was accompanying him was almost distorted looking at this scene.

Guan Huaigong was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden title he received. Looking at the ingredients on the plate that he didn't recognize, he could only estimate: "It costs several hundred yuan."

Zhu Xi curled his lips and turned to look at the steward, whose muscles on his face were already numb: "How much money does this dish cost?"

The steward immediately took the opportunity to flex his face, and then hurriedly said: "Back to the prince, this dish is white grilled wings, boiled with white jade spine whole wings, cooked ham, pea shoots, chicken, duck and elbows in clear soup.

It is made with cooking wine, refined salt, green onions, ginger, and peppercorns for seasoning, and a thick starch soup. In our Jiangnan Restaurant, this dish costs eighteen taels, eight cents, and eight cents of silver."

Guan Huaigong's eyes suddenly twitched.

A dish that I don't understand costs a full eighteen taels, eight cents and eight cents of silver.

The food is good and the price is good.

It truly deserves the name of Huaiyang Fushuo.

Zhu Xi remained silent, took another two steps forward, and opened a stove.

"What's in here?"

The steward of Jiangnan Tower came up and took a look, then smiled and said, "This is Sesame Salt, Bamboo Shoots, Chestnuts, Luffa Seeds, Peach Kernels, Chun Bu Lao Hai Qing Na, Swan Osmanthus, Rose, Spiced Lu'an Bird's Tongue Bud Tea."

Zhu Xiang also twitched the corners of his eyes slightly.

Guan Huaigong, who was following him, was already dizzy.

I can't remember the name alone, let alone remember it. Even pronouncing it smoothly is difficult.

Guan Huaigong asked in a low voice: "How much does this tea cost?"

The steward cupped his hands and said, "It's not expensive. A cup of tea is only six liang, six cents and six cents of silver."

"It's just a good one..."

Guan Huaigong moved his lips silently, already thinking about how long his salary would be in exchange for a taste of Laoshizi tea.

Zhu Ming said calmly: "It seems that our officials in Yangzhou City are well prepared."

The steward of Jiangnan Tower had a smile on his face and bowed: "The Yamen came yesterday and told the children to prepare it early. Many of the ingredients are transferred from other houses in the city."

While talking, the Jiangnan Tower steward began to introduce himself to Zhu Fang and Guan Huaigong.

He only knew that the person in front of him was His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty. If such a noble person eats his own food, what a good sign he will look back on.

"Go back to your lord, these are refreshing breeze, stewed lion's head with crab meat, crystal hoof, pork head meat with Lu Yaojian sauce, braised chicken with yellow mud, Eight Immortals crossing the sea to make a fuss, two phoenixes hatched from one egg, assorted honeycomb tofu, fishing for jade in Longtan.

Brand, fallen leaf Pipa shrimp, braised water chestnut turtle, Huifu peach fat roasted pork, Maofeng smoked anchovy..."

As the names of the dishes were announced one after another, Guan Huaigong was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It was really an eye-opener.

Yangzhou Prefecture’s preparations this time can be described as meticulous and diligent.

Shandong cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, and Anhui cuisine are all prepared.

Guan Huaigong couldn't help but look at His Highness King Qin in front of him.

This man said this when he entered the city.

He came to Yangzhou City for fairness.
