Chapter 7: Only food can't live up to it

It’s just a door out, and it’s exaggerating to bring dozens of people with you, while it’s super exaggerating to bring thousands of people in the area.

In modern times, even if you are a rich man, you will seem exaggerated to bring dozens of people.

Who would bring thousands of people out?

The head of state is not.

But, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the higher the status of Jin State, the more people they will bring when traveling.

Especially with the influence of the demise of the Zhao family, the number of people brought by them is not just about face. You always have to take care of your life, right?

Lu Wu went to arrange the things to treat.

The elders of the family counted what Wei Xiang brought with them with the cooperation of the Wei family's retainers.

Since the old Lu family did not have supporting facilities to smelve ore, Wei Xiang brought twenty vehicles of smelted iron ingots.

When the family was counting, they found that there was a cart of cloth that looked like something, which made the Wei family's retainers laugh at it secretly.

The rest are all kinds of food, some including aristocratic supplies and mixed things.

"It smells so fragrant!" Han Wuji couldn't express his opinion with more words. While watching Lu Wu's cooking, he exclaimed, turned to look at Wei Xiang and said, "It's true."

But Wei Xiang said: "I won't deceive you."

"Soccer" in Jin State is a kind of respectful title, and the allusion comes from the story of Duke Wen of Jin and Jie Zhitui in "Left Turn".

Jie Zhitui was the hero who set fire to the mountain and burned to death after being successfully taken over by Duke Wen of Jin.

There is a stream within the seal of the Old Lu family.

Now is an era without pollution, and even a stream will produce very richly.

Lu Wu concluded from Wei Xiang's last eating habit, that Wei Xiang would come again, and guessed that he would bring his relatives and friends over.

No one can resist the temptation of delicious food.

No one!

In order to entertain him, he specially prepared fresh ingredients every day.

You need to prepare every day, mainly because there is no good refrigeration utensils.

Prepare ingredients.

Wei Xiang cooked it that night before he came, and he enjoyed Lu Wu's own belly. The only remaining retainer of the old Lu family, namely Lao Zhuo, also benefited from it. (My grandmother is not at home)

The rest, including warriors, people and slaves, had no share.

Even if Lu Wu and Lao Zhuo can't finish eating, they won't have their portion.

This is related to the Spring and Autumn Period and is an insurmountable class of superiors and inferiors.

Now, Lu Wu is cooking shrimps with ground ginger and green onions.

Most of the ingredients needed for this dish are currently available.

Live shrimps were washed and dried on the spot.

After hot pan, add appropriate amount of oil, add shredded ginger and stir-fry again, add green onion and stir-fry directly, then pour in the live shrimp, cover the lid and wait for a while to prevent the live shrimp from jumping out, lift the lid and stir-fry.

There is no connection with light soy sauce. Lu Wu used some sauces from this era, just put a little and then added an appropriate amount of salt, so that the dish can be finished.

He had previously discovered that Wei prefers heavy-tasting foods, and specially made some dishes with heavy-tasting foods based on the ingredients they could collect.

I worked for about an hour.

After cooking, the dishes are put on some plates or other carriers separately.

Several nobles saw from beginning to end. They knew that Lu Wu was cooking, but they couldn't understand the process, so they could only exclaim from time to time.

Lu Wu still treated her in a house with wooden floors.

Last time there were only two cases in the house.

When Wei Xiang came over, he found that he had set up the number of cases as many guests as he came. Some cases looked very new and gave Lu Wu meaningful glances.

Lu Wu was very calm.

A maid brought the dishes to the plates and then took them down like flowing water.

A male servant brought in the soup pot that he was always cooking.

Finally, the stove and wine used to cook wine were brought in, and all the time we were ready was considered to be alive.

In the past, the old Lu family rarely had a guest, so naturally there was no need for so many cases at home.

Lu Wu, who was sure that Wei Xiang met again, specially asked the carpenter to work, which led to the new cases today.

However, he didn't know how many people Wei Xiang would bring.

The simple thing is that the number of cases produced by rushing to work is enough.

In this era, the nobles were very particular about banquets, but the old Lu family really couldn't pay attention to it.

For example, there are no retainers who host the banquet and maids with excellent professional qualities to serve them.

As for music?

Not everyone is qualified to listen to music these days.

The old Lu family naturally has no music to listen to.

Lu Wu gave his congratulations according to his current habits.

That is, the opening remarks of the banquet are welcomed by several nobles, and then toast first to show the completeness of etiquette.

After that, they can eat it.

However, a few nobles except Wei Xiang looked at the strange and strange tableware they didn't know how to use some tableware, and they didn't know what the dishes were about, so they looked at each other.

Wei Xiang had eaten some dishes before and couldn't wait to taste them using tableware.

His eating habits can be elegant even if he is anxious.

Lu Wu, who didn't understand the etiquette of the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, walked around and helped several nobles introduce dishes while demonstrating how to use tableware.

After Lu Wu's prompt, they watched Wei Xiang eat happily, and waited for Lu Wu to sit back to his seat before starting to eat.

This time, although Lu Wu was the host, the person sitting in the main seat was Wei Xiang.

The reason? In addition to Wei Xiang’s high status, he is also Lu Qi’s son.

This area is called "Lu".

Even if Lu Wu was the host, his status was lower than that of several nobles, so naturally Wei Xiang should be the main seat.

"Delicious!" Han Wuji's belly bulged up after eating, and said in great admiration: "From now on, there will be no future."

Han Wuji means that I don’t know when I will be able to eat such a delicacy again.

With a speech first, the silence of "Shi Wuyan" was broken.

"Wu, I already know your intention." Wei Xiang raised his wine cup and said, "Very good!"

Every time Lu Wu talks to them, he needs to read it carefully from a very short sentence to roughly understand what it means.

Wei Xiang roughly affirmed this cooperation, and praised Lu Wu as a person who knows the general idea and knows how to share it with others after having a new invention.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Wu knows how to bring Wei to make money together.

Lu Wu went to Lucheng to make iron pots and hang the Wei clans in order to start cooperation.

But cooperation is not just about giving out the technology of making iron pots. After promoting new cooking, it only earns dividends for selling iron pots.

If you want to operate a diet in a big city, you need enough family strength.

The Wei family is not considered the top aristocrat of Jin, but its strength is not bad. At least it has enough face to make other aristocrats afraid and dare not rob the industry.

Lu Wu had the Wei family as his backer, avoiding the robbery of technology and industry, and then he would do something in the future, even if he could discover it, the Wei family had the basis for this cooperation, which was to block the big stones of other nobles.

Because of Han Wuji's presence, Lu Wu needs to first test whether the Wei family wants to bring Han family to the end so that he can slowly tell what cooperation he needs to do.

Wei Xiang understood Lu Wu's hint and said cheerfully: "It's okay to just say it."
