County government office.
Lu Lin weighed the money in his hand, and said excitedly: "This roast lamb has really been sold."
"I thought I had to eat it myself." Chen Xiaomi muttered.
Chen Xiaomi had planned a long time ago. If the roasted whole sheep can't be sold for twenty taels of silver, they will eat it themselves. The purpose of this auction is not to make money for a single sheep, but to use this to start the sale of the roasted whole sheep. reputation.
The current situation is not bad.
This roasted whole lamb was bought by the son of Kyoto at 80 taels, which should be enough for the villagers to discuss for a while.
Chen Xiaolai looked at Lu Lin, and said curiously, "Brother Lin, how did you come up with the idea of roasting a whole lamb?"
Lu Lin: "..." Since I have eaten it before, I naturally thought of it.
"Recently, I want to improve the taste, and I think of it when I see sheep."
In this previous life, when Lu Lin went out to have dinner with people, he ate roasted whole lamb twice. A roasted whole lamb would shrink a lot, and it would be enough for eight people. A discounted lamb would cost 800 yuan. Eating a meal of roasted lamb is quite a luxury.
Roasting a whole lamb is easy when you think about it, but it's difficult when you don't think about it.
It is said that the roasted whole sheep came from this way in the previous life. There was a fire in the farmhouse and the sheepfold was burned. The sheep in the sheepfold were all burned to death. The burnt sheep smelled fragrant. The method of roasting the whole lamb is very happy, but I don't feel sorry for the burned sheep.
Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin, and said with a strange expression: "Brother Lin, you are really extravagant to think of roasting the whole lamb."
Lu Lin glared at Chen Xiaocai, thinking to himself: Chen Xiaocai is a little brat, he is acting like a good boy when he gets a bargain. "If I'm not extravagant, how can you make more money?"
Chen Xiaocai scratched his head and said, "Brother Lin, you are right."
"This roasted sheep is selling well, and the price of this sheep will probably go up." In the future, there should be more sheep raising families in the village.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and echoed, "Brother guessed right. I heard that just after the auction, someone wanted to raise sheep, and the lambs in this market were sold out."
Lu Lin: "..." There is such a thing. It seems that he has led the trend again by accident.
Chen Xiaolai gave Lu Lin money for selling the roast sheep, chatted with Lu Lin for a while, and then left.
Chen Xiaocai left, Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin with his chin in his hand, and said, "Did you often go out to eat roasted whole lamb?"
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaocai helplessly, and said, "How could that be! You think too much, let's roast a whole lamb, it won't work if there are fewer people eating it."
How inappropriate for him to eat a sheep alone, because he can't afford it? "Chen Xiaocai asked.
Lu Lin: "..." There is also this reason. "Forget it. If he has a lot of money, it doesn't matter if he eats the roasted whole lamb alone. At worst, he eats one leg of lamb and throws away three legs of lamb."
Chen Xiaolai patted Lu Lin on the shoulder and said, "I couldn't afford it before, but now I can afford it."
Lu Lin: "..." So, to a certain extent, he has improved compared to his previous life.
Yuan Bao ate a piece of Roujiamo with big mouthfuls, and looked at Lu Lin expectantly, "Father, they all said that roasted whole lamb is delicious."
The reputation of this roasted whole lamb has already spread. No matter who was present at the time or not, when it comes to roasted whole lamb, they all think it is a peerless delicacy.
Lu Lin smiled. There should not be many people who have eaten roasted whole lamb. However, everyone said that roasted whole lamb is delicious. It should be because of the eighty taels of silver. You get what you pay for, and everyone thinks , a sheep worth eighty taels of silver, if it doesn't taste good, it's unreasonable Lu Lin touched his chin and said, "It's quite delicious.
Yuan Bao grabbed Lu Lin's robe with some anticipation, and said, "Father, when are we going to eat roasted whole lamb!"
Lu Lin looked at Yuan Bao and said helplessly, "Let's talk about it in a few days."
On the front foot, they made a sign that the roasted whole lamb is very cherished, and on the back foot, they eat the roasted whole lamb at home. If this spread, it will inevitably make the roasted whole lamb lose a bit of mystery.
Rare things are more expensive. To put it bluntly, roasting a whole lamb is nothing special. It's just a sheep.
Yuan Bao said a little disappointed: "Okay."
Lu Lin secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that Yuanbao was just greedy for freshness, and he really made roasted whole lamb in a while, and he was not interested after eating two more bites.
"In a few days, the hot spring will open. At that time, roasted whole lamb can be sold in the hot spring." Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "It can be considered."
During the previous auction, Lu Lin kept an eye out. The owner of the hot pot restaurant said that he sold a roasted whole lamb in a month, and he was talking about his shop. If he sold it in other places, it would not be a problem.
in a few days.
Ji Yunan was walking on the road, turned around and glanced at Wei Qiyu who was following closely behind him, and said helplessly, "Why are you following me?"
Wei Qiyu said a little aggrieved: "I said, you are also considered half of Sha County, and a friend came from afar, shouldn't you treat me well as a landlord?"
"Didn't I treat you to a meal two days ago?"
Wei Qiyu said sullenly: "If you're so brave to say it, just stop."
Ji Yun'an: "..." It was quite a meal. "Although it's just one meal, you've eaten too much!" Wei Qiyu glared angrily, and looked at Ji Yun'an with a little frustration.
Ji Yun'an spread his hands, "Your Young Master Wei's family has a big business, can't you still afford the little food?"
Wei Qiyu suppressed his angry expression, shook his fan, and said, "Of course I can afford the food, but aren't there some things that money can't buy?"
Ji Yunan rubbed his forehead with some headaches, "You can't buy it even if you have money, and you can't eat it if you follow me!"
Wei Qiyu looked at Ji Yun'an, blinked, and said: "That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the third young master of the Chen family has excellent craftsmanship, and you will pass by this time. He should cook a small stove for you. I heard that the county government is planning to cook today. Whole sheep." Wei Qiyu licked his lips, the previous sheep was gone before he tasted much.
In the past few days, Wei Qiyu wanted to roast the whole lamb over and over again, and he almost lost the taste of it. Wei Qiyu secretly made up his mind that if he had another chance, he must eat more.
Ji Yun'an looked at Wei Qiyu, feeling a little helpless in his heart, Wei Qiyu, have you inquired about everything? "As for you, aren't you just a sheep?"
This Lu Lin originally disliked him as a free eater. If he brought another person to eat for free, then Wei Qiyu gave Ji Yun'an a vicious look and scolded: "You bastard, you really don't know how hungry you are!" Han hunger."
Wei Qiyu thought to himself: With the relationship between Ji Yun'an and Lu Lin, he can eat roasted whole lamb whenever he wants, but he is different. If he returns to the capital, he doesn't know when he wants to return to this place again. He Yue, if you want to eat roasted whole lamb next time, it will be very difficult.
Ji Yunan sighed, knowing how obsessed this classmate friend is with food.
"I can take you there, but you must restrain yourself a bit. He's still in the investigation stage, and bring a large oil bottle, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Wei Qiyu nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I'm sensible."
Ji Yunan walked to Lu Lin's mansion, and the Lu family knew Ji Yunan's identity, so he didn't stop him.
Ji Yun'an led Wei Qiyu into the county government office, Wei Qiyu twitched his nose and looked around. "It's so fragrant. I think we came at the right time today."
Ji Yunan: "..."
In the yard, Yuan Bao is working happily in autumn.
Chong Chong holds a shovel in his hand and plays with sand on the side.
Seeing Ji Yunan approaching, Yuan Bao stepped down from Qiugan, glanced at the two of them, showing no interest, restrained his expression, and continued playing with the sand.
"Brother over the wall, you are here!"
"The brother who overcame the wall?" Wei Qiyu glanced at Ji Yunan, and asked curiously: "Yunan, what happened to the brother who overcame the wall?" Ji Yunan ignored Wei Qiyu, and asked Yuan Bao, "Where's your uncle!"
Yuan Bao said without hesitation: "Uncle is making roasted whole lamb!"
Wei Qiyu was overjoyed, and thought to himself: His information is indeed correct! The county government really wants to roast whole lamb today. Although the hot pot restaurant no longer sells roasted whole lamb, the county government still makes it!
Yuan Bao glanced at Wei Qiyu, and said curiously, "Brother Yun'an, who is this uncle!"
Wei Qiyu smiled and said, "I'm your brother Yun'an's friend."
Wei Qiyu took out a rattle, handed it to Yuan Bao, and said, "It's the first time we meet, this is for you to play with."
Ji Yun'an took a look at Wei Qiyu, and thought, "Wei Qiyu is really willing to spend all his money to eat delicious food!" Yuan Bao shook the drum, thinking it was very interesting.
Ji Yun'an took a look at Wei Qiyu and said, "You are really generous!" The drum that Wei Qiyu took out was made of silver, so it should be worth a lot of silver.
Wei Qiyu waved his hand and said, "It's a small thing."
Under Wei Qiyu's repeated gestures, Ji Yun'an led Wei Qiyu into the kitchen.
There was a grill in front of Chen Maimai, and a sheep was placed on top of the grill. Wei Qiyu said excitedly, "Roast the whole lamb!"
Ji Yunan glanced at Wei Qiyu and said, "Didn't you see it before?"
Wei Qiyu: "..." There were so many people before, it was better to strike first, he didn't have time to take a good look at it. Yuan Bao pulled Chong Chong, moved closer to Chen Maimai, and said sweetly: "Uncle, when can we eat it!"
Chen Xiaomai smiled and said, "You can eat it right away."
Chen Xiaomai glanced at Wei Qiyu and asked, "Who is this?"
"It's my classmate and friend." Ji Yunan said.
"Did you go to the exam with you?" Chen Xiaomai asked.
Ji Yunan nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Did he pass the exam?"
Ji Yunan shook his head.
Chen Xiaomai stared at Wei Qiyu twice, then turned his head.
Wei Qiyu waved his fan and thought to himself: "Qiu Wei has passed away, why are you talking about it?"
Chen Maimai looked at Ji Yunan, a little embarrassed, "Sit down, the roast lamb will be eaten right away."
Ji Yun'an said worriedly: "Don't you have to wait for Mr. Lu? It doesn't seem very polite!"
Chen Xiaomai tilted his head and said, "Brother Lin and Big Brother went out to discuss things with people, and he said that he wants to eat something light recently and leave half for them."
Ji Yunan nodded. After the marriage was settled, Ji Yunan vaguely felt that Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi seemed to be displeased with him. Ji Yunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they were away.
Chen Xiaomai cut more than half of a roasted whole lamb, and invited Yuan Bao and others to eat.
Wei Qiyu tore off a large piece of mutton from the lamb leg, and was extremely excited.
Before the leg of lamb was divided among several members of the Gao family, what Wei Qiyu ate was the meat from the ribs, and the meat from the ribs was also delicious, which made Wei Qiyu look forward to the leg of lamb even more.
Wei Qiyu hummed and ate the leg of lamb, and when he looked up, he saw Yuan Bao chewing on the bone of the lamb while curiously watching him being stared at by a little doll. Wei Qiyu felt a little embarrassed, but he was soon caught The roast sheep was attracted, so I didn't bother to pay attention.
The mutton sprinkled with seasonings has an indescribably attractive taste, which makes people unable to stop their mouths.
After eating the roast lamb and drinking the haggis soup, Wei Qiyu patted his stomach with some satisfaction and burped.
Wei Qiyu thought to himself: The food in this county government office is really extraordinary. There are gossip that the prince came to Sha County and was so obsessed with gourmet food that he couldn't walk. Many people in Kyoto don't really believe it.
The Prince of Kyoto is notoriously afraid of his wife, so Wei Qiyu felt that the Prince was not coming back because he was afraid of his wife, food and so on were just excuses.
After eating the food made by Chen Mai, Wei Qiyu felt that it was barely believable that the prince was stumped by delicious food.
After eating enough, Wei Qiyu became obsessed with the rocking chair in the county government office. Wei Qiyu felt full, lying on the rocking chair and taking a nap for a while was as happy as a fairy!
Ji Yunan took Wei Qiyu and left the county government office.
Wei Qiyu slowly followed behind Ji Yunan, "Ah, now I know why you want to marry a little twin. Chen Mai's craftsmanship is so good that I want one too."
Ji Yunan rolled his eyes and said, "Go ahead and dream."
Wei Qiyu said bitterly: "You bastard, why are you throwing cold water on people like this?"
Ji Yunan: "..."
Wei Qiyu sighed full of regret, and said, "It's a pity, this Chen Xiaomai doesn't have a sister or anything." If there is one, he can go after it!
"Even if there is, people may not necessarily like you!"
Wei Qiyu said unhappily: "Why do you underestimate people so much, I'm a genius."
Wei Qiyu waved his fan and thought to himself: When he was walking on the road two days ago, he seemed to see a few little girls secretly looking at him. Most likely they thought he was very handsome. It's no wonder that in a small place like Sha County, it's rare to see such an outstanding person like him.
"If you like eating so much, just ask your father to find a good cook."
Wei Qiyu sighed, and said: "How can it be so easy to find a good cook? I didn't realize until I came to Sha County that those chefs in the capital are all for fame."
Ji Yunan: "..."
Wei Qiyu suddenly thought of something, and said, "When will the hot springs open? It will take a few days. What's the matter?"
Wei Qiyu said anxiously: "Hurry up and drive! This damn old man is urging me to go back."
Ji Yunan smiled helplessly, and said: "There are still some unfinished works, but if you really want to go, I can take you to experience it first." It happened that Chen Xiaolai also mentioned it to him. Before opening, he hoped to find Let a few people practice it and give some opinions.
Wei Qiyu said a little excitedly: "There is such a good thing."
Ji Yun'an smiled, and said: "It's a long way to go to the hot spring, just don't get down halfway."
Wei Qiyu glared at Ji Yun'an full of depression, and thought: Ji Yun'an, this guy is really not a thing, to underestimate him so much.
Seeing Ji Chengkang, Liu Yun said with some joy, "General, the young master is back."
Ji Chengkang said in surprise, "He's back."
Ji Chengkang thought to himself: After Ji Yun'an came, he ran to the county government all day long, how few days did he spend peacefully in the camp!
Ji Chengkang walked into the tent and saw Ji Yun'an was seriously drawing.
Ji Chengkang took a look at Ji Yunan and said, "Since when did you like drawing?"
Ji Yun'an said helplessly: "It's not that I like it, it's that Chen Xiaolai needs it. There is no serious calligraphy and painting shop in Sha County. Chen Ershao went to the surrounding towns to look around, and felt that those paintings were ugly and expensive. Everything I didn't buy it, I came back."
Chen Ershao met Ji Yun'an two days ago, and suddenly had a whim, so he recruited Ji Yun'an to be a strong man.
Ji Yun'an often ate and drank for free in the county government office, and he was also a little embarrassed. Since Chen Xiaolai felt that his calligraphy and painting could be used as a facade, Ji Yun'an was not polite, but Ji Yun'an did not have the nerve to sign this hasty work.
It was rare for Chen Xiaocai to ask him for help, Ji Yunan was very happy.
Ji Chengkang nodded, and said, "Since Chen Xiaolai asked you to, then if you can help, do your best."
In the past few years, their patrol battalion got goods from the county government at friendly prices, which took a lot of advantage. Ji Chengkang felt a little embarrassed.
