Chapter 260 No Talent for Being an Official
Xie Yiyao knew that the people were now eager for food and medicinal materials.
But the Black Armor Guards still have secrets about how they have been following him and living in the open air for such a long time.
She felt it was necessary to let them rest for a night before continuing to work.
"Bao Gossip, tell the chefs you brought with you to prepare hot pot for the Black Armor Guards today, and give each person two taels of white wine. Go ask Liu Yan for the stuff."
Xie Yiyao gave instructions to Bao Da Ting.
Because all the Black Armor Guards followed her and Feng Junyi to Yanjing, Bao Da Ting also brought the cooks he arranged for the Black Armor Guards.
As soon as Xie Yiyao finished speaking, Bao Gossip's eyes lit up surprisingly!
It’s time to eat hotpot again!
One day during the journey, the weather was too cold, so the master ordered a hot pot.
It was so spicy and delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue!
"Okay, Master! I'll get ready right away!"
The conditions in Yanjing City are not as good as those in the capital, and the Black Armor Guards have nowhere to live, so they can only set up tents near the Prince's Mansion and stay there temporarily.
Fortunately, the desolate area of Yanjing is vast, and the tents of the Black Armor Guards are not crowded.
These Black Armor Guards had long been accustomed to living in tents during marches and battles, and no one had any complaints.
However, due to the cold weather, everyone wrapped themselves in their cotton-padded clothes and huddled in the tent, unwilling to come out.
"Come with me, some people, to find Miss Liuyan to transport the food! The Crown Princess specifically ordered that we eat hot pot today, and each person should have two taels of white wine!"
The gossiper's excited and high-pitched voice made the black-armored guards in the tent run out excitedly!
Waves of cheers rang out!
“Eat hot pot?!”
“Eat hot pot?!”
"Is that the spicy hotpot we had that day?!"
"Oh my god, ever since I had hotpot that day, I've been dreaming about eating hotpot every day!"
At this moment, the Black Armor Guards' camp was instantly boiling with excitement, and everyone's face was flushed with excitement!
It’s worth dying to eat hotpot in such cold weather!
"What are you still standing there for! Team leaders, follow Manager Bao and go get the ingredients from Miss Liuyan!"
Shi Nie was the first to calm down and hurriedly shouted to the excited black-armored guards.
After hearing what Shi Nie said, Bao Da Ting's expression became distorted and he gnashed his teeth and shouted:
"You stinky, hard rock, I've told you so many times! Don't call me Butler Bao!"
"Yes yes yes! Hurry up!"
The team leaders of the Black Armor Guards excitedly called their assistants and pushed carts to look for Liuyan.
Shi Nie was also excitedly pushing the cart to lead the water flow, and did not hear the gossiper's roar at all.
Only Bao Da Ting was left alone in the cold wind, waving his fist at the black-armored guards who were leaving happily!
Liuyan was counting things not far from the Black Armor Guard camp. Xie Yiyao had transported a lot of things over to conceal her tracks.
However, most of the carriages were wrapped in canvas, so Kurokoemon didn't know what they were transporting.
However, the Black Armored Guards didn't care what was transported on the carriages. They had the iron rule of doing their own job in their bones.
In their view, their only job is to march and fight to protect their master. As for daily necessities, they are under the responsibility of Bao the steward, so they just need to follow Bao's orders!
Just now when Xie Yiyao left, she took out the ingredients for the hot pot from her spiritual plant space while no one was paying attention. Of course, the hot pot base was purchased from the system mall.
Soon, more than a dozen large pots were set up in the Black Armor Guards’ camp, and the spicy and fragrant aroma quickly spread throughout the camp!
"It smells so good!"
Some of the Black Armor Guards couldn't help swallowing their saliva. This pot was not only spicy and delicious but also full of salt!
It's something that only gods can eat!
There is famine everywhere now, but they can eat meat and drink wine without restraint!
Many Black Armor Guards felt like they were dreaming!
"Oh my god! I'm not dreaming!"
"That's a lot of meat! Is this something we can eat?"
"I will swear allegiance to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess until death!"
"I will also swear allegiance to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess until death!"
In the entire camp, Shi Nie and a group of black-armored guards knelt down in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, still shouting non-stop!
The aroma of the hot pot became stronger and stronger, and more than a dozen large pots had begun to bubble with steam.
Bao Da Ting saw that the time was almost right, so he shouted to the excited Black Armor Guards:
"That's enough! That's enough! Stop knocking your head. Don't slack off when the master gives you orders. That's the greatest reward for the master! Come and eat!"
When the black-armored guards heard that the meal was ready, they all stood up, took their bowls, rolled up their sleeves and started eating!
The hot pot, accompanied with big steamed buns and a pot of wine, made the Black Armor Guard feel like today was Chinese New Year!
wrong!
Even during Chinese New Year they can't eat such a sumptuous meal!
Bao Da Ting looked at the black-armored guards who were eating enthusiastically and expressing gratitude to their master, and he was filled with admiration for Xie Yiyao.
His master is really good at manipulating people's hearts!
Look at how it has been in just a few days, and now the Black Armor Guards are almost obedient to their master's orders!
City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Zhongdan stood aside nervously. Feng Junyi and Xie Yiyao did not eat the food he prepared for them.
Instead, he took the food away and distributed it to the servants. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knew that the food he had prepared was really not presentable.
A prince of a country would definitely not be accustomed to such simple meals.
But he had no other choice. The relief grain from the court was delayed in arriving, so he had to risk his life to distribute the city’s reserve grain to the victims.
But it was still a drop in the bucket. The best food he could get now was white flour buns!
Suddenly, a fragrance wafted into the room, and Zhang Zhengwang couldn't help but move his nose.
“What a nice smell!”
As the lord of Yanjing City, he had enjoyed delicious food before natural disasters.
But the smell still made him swallow his saliva, it was really so good!
Now Zhang Zhongdan’s uneasiness has been completely replaced by the desire to eat!
He even had a crazy idea that if he could have such a delicious meal, he would accept it even if his head was chopped off!
Zhang Zhongdan bravely looked up and saw a peculiarly shaped pot on the table with a stove burning underneath.
Nanxu and Yaqin were skillfully putting the side dishes into the pot.
Another burst of rich fragrance spread out, Zhang Zhongdan kept swallowing his saliva, and his stomach began to growl!
His face turned red with shame and he lowered his head in a state of confusion.
Xie Yiyao looked at the ragged lord of Yanjing City with amusement.
"It's truly a miracle in history that the city lord is like you!"
Xie Yiyao joked to Zhang Zhongdan.
In fact, she still had a good impression of Zhang Zhongdan. Just by looking at his clothes, she knew that Zhang Zhongdan was a man dedicated to the people.
In addition, when the people were excited just now, the city lord was able to call out the name of every citizen accurately.
He even knew their family situations very well. How many officials like Zhang Zhongdan could there be from ancient times to the present?
"I...I am incompetent and have failed to manage Yanjing City properly for the Crown Prince. Please punish me, Crown Prince and Crown Princess!"
Zhang Zhongdan's face was bitter and pale. He really tried his best to be the lord of Yanjing City.
Maybe he really doesn't have the talent to be an official!
