He naturally knew that in order to save Anshi City, Wang Ting deployed more than 200,000 troops here, accounting for one-third of the country's troops, plus the troops lost in Liaodong City, Baiyan City and other places. For the soldiers stationed in the hinterland such as Beisha City, the remaining troops in the country are probably less than 200,000.
It was because Gao Zhi knew this that he didn't dare to report the situation here to Wang Ting. Once Wang Ting knew that Anshicheng had lost so far, it would be fine if he couldn't send reinforcements, and he would be sent back to question the crime.
Gao Zhi felt that none of his brothers could replace him, and if he couldn't defend Anshi City, then the others couldn't, so he would rather go all the way to the dark.
As one of the leaders, Nusa naturally knew that among the several princes, only the second prince was still worthy of use. If other princes were replaced, the situation in Anshicheng would be even worse.
And changing before the battle will be a big taboo.
Nusa rubbed her forehead with a headache, and her back arched when she left the room, as if she was ten years older.
Bai Shan and the others were arranged in a small courtyard, the courtyard was a bit low, and the situation inside the courtyard could be seen from the outside.
However, the walls of the houses in this area are not very high.
Bai Shan took a look and went in. The guards pulled the carriage and horses in.
They brought some gold, silver and jewelry that they wanted to give to Gao Zhi, but they didn't have a chance to give it away. If Bai Shan didn't say to give it, they dragged it all over.
At this time, the box on the car was unloaded and moved into the house.
Bai Shan stood in the yard, looked around, smiled, turned around and asked the official who entertained him, "I wonder if there is a kitchen here?"
"Yes," the official was not sure about the second prince's attitude towards them, so although his face was expressionless, he did not dare to offend him, and said, "Is the envoy going to see it at the back?"
Bai Shan nodded with a smile, went to the kitchen and looked around, and said: "I am from Sichuan, and I have no other hobbies in my life, but love to eat. I heard that the small white crisps in Anshicheng are very delicious, but it is a pity that I have not been here for many days. I have used it, I don’t know if my lord may find a cook who is good at this for me?”
The official frowned slightly.
Bai Shan took out a purse and stuffed it to him, and said with a smile: "It's what I wish in my life, I don't know if I will be able to go back this time as an envoy, and I will be happy every day, please be more lenient."
The official touched the round ones. Although he didn't open them, he also guessed that they were pearls, so he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, but I only invite people here, but I can buy one kind..."
"I can still afford this little money," Bai Shan smiled and saluted, "Thank you, my lord."
So Xiao Guan left, and took the man straight to the chef's house of a restaurant, and brought him here after a while.
The chef knelt down in front of Bai Shan tremblingly.
In front of the officials, Bai Shan didn't show much expression, he just said to the chef: "I'm a little hungry, since I'm here, let's make lunch first."
He tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "It's too late now, so you can make whatever you want. I want to eat small white crisps tonight."
The chef shivered and said, "Your honor, no one at the moment, no food."
The whole city is at war, and no one goes out when they have nothing to do. They basically eat plain porridge, and they haven't eaten vegetables for many days.
Bai Shan frowned in distress, "What should I do, I just love this bite."
The little official frowned, kicked the chef and asked, "Can't you buy it? Then where does the food we eat every day in the council come from?"
Upon hearing this, the chef immediately said: "There are still some people who planted and raised some things in the city, but they just go out now..."
The officer said nothing.
Bai Shan looked at Daji.
Daji took out an ingot of gold and gave it to the little official.
The little official only glanced at it, then put it in his hand calmly, lowered his eyes and said: "Don't worry, envoy, I will make arrangements. Give him a sign when the time comes, and he will be able to walk in the city."
Only then did Bai Shan nod his head in satisfaction, and then said to the chef: "Who else is there in your family? Can you cook? Or know some good cooks, find some more. There are not many people in my yard. No, you have to buy vegetables and cook at the same time, I'm afraid you won't be able to spare time."
He turned his head to look at Daji, "Daji."
Daji said with a blank expression: "Our young master has lunch one day, and he is eating breakfast. There must be pasta for breakfast. It is best to have a bowl of millet porridge. Millet porridge nourishes the stomach. Besides, there is also a bowl of goat's milk. , the milk must be boiled with tea leaves to eliminate the fishy smell, and then brewed with a little sugar; when the time comes, we will use refreshments. We brought the tea leaves ourselves, and there are five kinds of tea leaves in total. Generally, our young master uses Montgomery stone flowers for tea refreshments in the morning. This tea is rare and only for personal use. Don't use it wrong."
"For dim sum, you can make your own dim sum, preferably from your local Anshi City. If you need anything, just tell us, and we will pay for it."
Daji's face was almost inscribed with the words "We are not short of money".
After finishing the morning tea, Daji continued: "Lunch is served at noon, you have to prepare it in advance, one cold soup, one soup and three dishes are the most basic, or the same sentence, if you are good at it, it's best if our young master doesn't eat it Yes, but the soup must be there, as fine as possible.”
"In Shenshi, our young master wants to have afternoon tea. The tea uses the purple bamboo shoot tea and Yangxian tea we brought. For dessert, let's serve the small white crisps first this afternoon, and order the rest later. If there are guests, then Soak in the White Dew of the Western Mountains and the Stone Flowers of the Immortal Cliff, "
"Dinner is served at You hour. It is the same standard as lunch. The kitchen needs to be fired from time to time. Although it is not suitable to eat at night, our young master is still young and is growing up. Maybe he will be hungry at any time. He called it Sometimes the kitchen won’t run out of food.”
Daji looked down at the chef, "Do you remember?"
The chef nodded in a daze, and sighed in his heart, who is this? He is so particular, even more particular than the nusa he has seen.
Not to mention the little officials at the side, even Xue Gui was dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at Bai Shan.
Daji didn't just talk, he immediately led the chef out, opened a box, took out five boxes of tea leaves, taught him to recognize tea leaves, and even gave him a bag of fine salt, "Your master Yan may I'm not used to it, use this to cook."
The chef opened it and took a look. What he saw was white and thin fine salt. He twisted it and tasted a few, and the taste was salty, almost without bitterness.
Chef: …
The little official watched the whole process, and now he is sure that this envoy... was born in a wealthy family, so he is not the one who has been wronged.
So he lowered his eyes to cover his expression.
The chef's heart turned sharply, and he smiled flatteringly at Daji: "My lord, the mother-in-law and son in my family can cook, and they can also help the little ones. Look, can I call them to help?"
Daji nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, but keep your hands and feet clean. Our young master likes cleanliness, but he doesn't like unclean people."
"Don't worry, don't worry, they all love to be clean."
Petty Officer: ... What do you pay attention to when you go to the battlefield
However, this envoy was white and clean, his face was as white as a dough ball, and he had an awe-inspiring demeanor that made people dare not offend him. The official uniform on his body was neat and clean, and he seemed to be a very clean person.
