Chapter 81

Murong Si met the angry eyes of the Generalissimo without any fear, and a treacherous smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "The wild dogs are barking, what should I do?"

When Murong heard this, he became even angrier: Is this child crazy?How dare you scold me!

He was about to have a seizure, but the eunuch behind Murongsi said: "Cut it." Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at him.

Murong Lue, who was one zhang away, felt as if his chest had been stabbed by a long spear. Under the excruciating pain, he spurted blood and fell to the ground dead.

In an instant, everyone suddenly faced such an accident, as if they were dreaming, and they stood there in a daze for a while.

Murong Si applauded and laughed loudly: "It's rare that Yafu's family members and subordinates who are loyal to him are gathered here. It's great! It's great! Since you are all so sad, why don't you just go down together and accompany him!"

"Big brother!"

"Father!"

"The dog emperor wants to kill us!"

"Arrest him to avenge Big Brother! Kill him! If we don't kill him, we will never have peace!"

……

While everyone was terrified, they suddenly realized: the puppet emperor who had been in office for more than 20 years finally showed his fangs!
Then the whole inner house boiled up: some people rushed to Murong Lue's body and cried bitterly; some people rushed to Murong Si angrily, trying to catch him; Gather weapons and prepare to fight...but their efforts are doomed to be in vain.

Although Murong Wei began to pay attention to martial arts people back then, due to the tradition of Xianbei people, the political status of martial arts people in Yan State was not too high. For such an important state funeral, martial arts people under Murong Wei's family were not allowed to enter the inner city. And the two eunuchs beside Murongsi were extremely skilled, they palmed each other, kicked each other, no one was an all-in-one enemy, blood flowed into rivers in the house in the blink of an eye, only old and young women and children were left trembling in the corner, Murong Si did not let him go, and ordered the eunuch to kill him.

The eunuch who killed Murong Lue first rushed into the mourning hall, facing Murong Wei's coffin, his handsome appearance with white and beardless face suddenly changed into the image of a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and gloomy eyes, he roared angrily: " Old thief Murong, I, Dongfang Xiong, have come to avenge my father!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped the coffin heavily with his palm, and there was no sound. However, the solid and dense red sandalwood incense wood coffin fell apart at once, and everything turned into powder after landing.

Not only did Murong Si not blame him, but he even said in a hateful voice unwillingly: "This old bastard, to be able to die peacefully on the bed is really cheap for him!"

Since today is the day of Murong Wei's funeral, the mansion is full of important officials and family members of the Yan Kingdom, so the guards and troops are guarding from afar. The Murong brothers think that this important place in the capital is under their control, and there is no possibility of any accidents. But they never expected that the emperor, who had never been looked down upon by them, only took two eunuchs (these two eunuchs were arranged by Murong Lue next to the emperor, but they were dropped out unexpectedly), swaggeringly entered the inner house, and put them The family was wiped out.

When the screams from the inner house alarmed the outer court, Han Ruduo and the others violently dispersed the crowd and rushed to the inner house, but what they saw was corpses all over the floor, and wearing a red dragon robe, standing proudly in the blood The emperor Murong Si, who was on the ground where the river flowed, roared like a bell: "Murong Lue and his henchmen conspired to rebel, and I have killed them all! I am the blood of Murong Chao, the hero of Xianbei, and the founder of Murong Sheng who established the powerful khanate." The direct descendants, the true masters of the land under our feet, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom! And you are the most heroic warriors among my Xianbei sons, and you have sworn to defend the royal court with blood. Now, I am asking you on behalf of the heavens, are you really my son? Loyal eagle dog?! Or the lackeys of these rebels?!"

"Your Majesty kills for no reason—" Before the deputy commander of Han Ruduo, who had just been appointed by Murong Lue, finished his sentence, Dongfang Xiong pointed out, and a finger hole appeared on the deputy commander's face, his brain burst out, and he fell to the ground and died.

"I...I swear to follow His Majesty to the death!" A soldier knelt down, and the other soldiers knelt down one after another. Murong Wei's clan was gone, and the emperor had just shown his majesty. It was easy for ordinary guards of the Imperial Guard to make decisions. s Choice.

Murong Si looked at the densely packed soldiers kneeling in front of him, and felt the majesty of being a king for the first time. He laughed wantonly...

..............................................................................

"Master, what dish did you cook today? It's so delicious!" Sitting at the dining table, Fan Mastiff smelled the special aroma, and suddenly felt his appetite soared, and his saliva almost flowed out.

Several other apprentices also stared curiously at the big iron pot placed in the middle of the dining table, even if they were as stable as Xu Xi, the greedy look on their faces could hardly be concealed.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!..." Xue Chang was satisfied with the expressions of the apprentices. He hummed the beat and lifted the lid of the pot exaggeratedly.

Accompanied by a layer of mist, what was displayed in front of everyone was a pot of hot red oil.

"This is my new delicacy - spicy hot pot. How about you try it?" Xue Chang said proudly, and used chopsticks to pick up two slices of mutton for Mrs. Zhang: "Auntie, try it first."

What Xue Chang bought was of course fresh mutton, but with his knife skills, he could naturally cut it as thin as paper.

Happy with Xue Chang's filial piety, Mrs. Zhang picked up the scalded mutton and stuffed it into her mouth. Immediately, a stimulating spicy smell mixed with the strong aroma of butter and the creaminess mixed with mutton filled her mouth instantly. She coughed repeatedly. But he was reluctant to spit it out, swallowed it in one gulp when his breath slowed down, and suddenly felt hot from the mouth to the stomach, and all the snot and tears came out.

"Auntie, don't worry, eat slowly." Xue Chang handed her a glass of cold water.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took a sip and felt better. She lowered her head embarrassedly and wiped away her snot and tears with a cloth towel, and then looked up at her surroundings. Everyone was the same as she was just now, with tears running down their faces, especially Xue Yuting's small picture. His face was blushing, and he stuck out his tongue regardless of the image, shouting: "It's so spicy! It's so spicy!"

Who told her that she doesn't like to eat meat, when everyone puts the meat in the pot first, she is the only one who puts the cabbage leaves first, and the green vegetables in the hot pot are the most able to absorb spiciness and oil, so she has such a misfortune.

"It's delicious! It's more enjoyable than boiled spicy fish!" Fan Mastiff praised it while picking up vegetables.

"It's more spicy than mapo tofu! It's delicious!" Hu Qiudi, who is also a girl, seemed very excited.

Although Xu Xi didn't speak, the chopsticks in his hands kept pinching.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang, Xue Yuting, Xue Fu, and Xue Wu gradually got used to the spicy taste, and they also began to add vegetables frequently.

As a result, most of the large pot of food that Xue Chang cooked quickly disappeared.

"Xi Fu, my mouth is completely numb!" Fan Mastiff exclaimed suddenly.

"My master!" Hu Qiudi said, sticking out his tongue.

Xu Xi, Xue Wu, and Xue Yuting didn't speak, but they were either breathing out or patting their lips.

Xue Chang suppressed a smile, and said solemnly: "It's okay, eating spicy hot pot is like this, after you finish eating it, it will be fine."

With Xue Chang's endorsement, the apprentices felt relieved, a little discomfort in their bodies could not resist the temptation of this delicious food, and everyone began to compete for food again.

After eating all the dishes in a pot, everyone was sweating profusely, tearing up, and drinking cold water non-stop.

"Xue Bo, how about this spicy hot pot?" Xue Chang looked at Xue Fu.

Xue Fu understood Xue Chang's intention of asking such a question, but he couldn't help exclaiming first: "Master, I really didn't expect that cornel would be so spicy!"

Xue Chang smiled slightly, disapprovingly: the spiciness of this hot pot is far less than one-tenth of the real Sichuan hot pot, it’s just that the appetite of people in this era has not been fully developed by chili peppers, so they feel so.However, the cornel fruit has been exposed to the sun, mixed with butter, pepper, and various spices for repeated frying, and after many experiments, its spiciness has indeed increased a lot.

"Although it is numbing and spicy, it makes people want to eat it even after eating it, and after eating it, I sweat all over, but feel warm, transparent and comfortable..." Xue Fu told his feelings seriously.

Xue Chang nodded as he listened: Science in previous lives has proven that spicy food can increase appetite, promote blood circulation, and stimulate emotions...so as long as a person can adapt to spicy food, he will like spicy food.For the people living in Bashu, the climate here is humid all year round, and the winter is still very cold, and spicy food can expel dampness and cold. Therefore, it is a natural choice for Bashu people to eat spicy hot pot and spicy food because of the environment and climate.

"I noticed, young master, that you put some pig blood, pig pipes (referring to the yellow throat), cow stomachs, pig brains, duck intestines... the offal of these livestock, in the past, rich people didn't bother to eat them, and ordinary people didn't dare to eat them." It tastes too strong because of the fishy smell, but it tastes very special when it is cooked in a hot pot..." Xue Fu finally concluded: "I think the residents in the city will like this hot pot, of course, young master You'd better ask Mother Liu and Xiaoyue for their opinions."

Liu Ma and Xiaoyue are the newly hired servants of the Xue Mansion. They live in the civilian areas of the city, and they can best reflect the opinions of the common people in the Chengdu Mansion. Therefore, Xue Chang specially scooped up a small pot for them.

At this moment, he went to the side room to find the two of them.

The two replied in unison: As long as the price is cheap, everyone will rush to eat.

..............................................................................

After dinner, Xue Chang didn't take his apprentices to the martial arts field immediately, but gave tasks to those who hadn't left in the hall.

He took out the structural sketches of the small stove, the large copper basin, and the iron grid drawn with ink pens, and handed them to Xue Fu: "Xue Bo, please find a familiar blacksmith tomorrow and let him build these things , as soon as possible, even if you add more money."

Xue Fu took the sketch, looked at it roughly, and said: "Young master, don't worry, there is a blacksmith's shop on the west side of this street. That blacksmith Wang's craftsmanship is very good, and many bodyguards are his regular customers. He is familiar, I will go to him tomorrow morning and ask him to hurry up and do it."

"Okay, let's settle the first thing." Xue Chang looked at his three apprentices: "Qiu Di, you were a shopkeeper before, and I'm going to open a food stall under the courtyard wall of our house facing the street. Go and take a good look outside. How should the food stall be arranged? What items are needed?... Draw a picture, make a list, and then discuss with your grandpa Fu to add them all."

"Okay!" Hu Qiudi was very excited when he heard this, and volunteered: "Master, after this food stall opens, I want to be the shopkeeper, okay?"

"Of course you have to be the shopkeeper." Xue Chang agreed without hesitation.

"Is the food stall selling this spicy hot pot?"

"Not exactly. The food is indeed made of spicy hot pot ingredients, but what we sell is spicy hot pot." Xue Chang knew very well: it is still relatively troublesome at this stage to promote spicy hot pot. Only a special dining table, a Copper basins, small stoves, charcoal added at any time, hot pot base materials consumed in large quantities, etc. are very troublesome. It is better to start with Malatang, which is relatively simple.

"What is Malatang?"

"In a while, you guys will follow me to the kitchen to learn how to make Mala Tang. It's very simple, and you will learn it soon."

"Master, I need manpower as the shopkeeper."

"The four of them are your buddies." Xue Chang pointed to Xu Xi, Fan Mastiff, Xue Wu, and Xue Yuting.

Hu Qiudi was elated when he heard this, and winked at Xu Xi and Fan Mastiff triumphantly: "Did you hear that, brothers, if you don't perform well, I will still criticize you severely like before!"

Xu Xi looked calm, while Fan Mastiff raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I'm the best at being a buddy, how could I make a mistake."

"Brother...I've never been a buddy...I'm afraid I can't do well." Xue Yuting whispered.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of you." Hu Qiudi said, patting his chest.

Mrs. Zhang, who was listening in, couldn't help but interjected: "Chang'er, your younger sister is a girl who shows up as a waiter. This...isn't very good."

"Auntie, our family is not from a scholarly family, but an escort agency that wields knives and guns. Both men and women are wandering in the Jianghu, so why don't you dare to show your face?" Xue Chang said this confidently, and then asked Said: "Little sister, what do you think?"

"Brother, I am willing to be a buddy, and I can be a good one!" Xue Yuting replied without hesitation, and even raised her voice. These days, she is a teacher and learning martial arts, and she is very happy staying with her friends. I have also seen a wider world, and of course I don't want to return to my previous life.

Mrs. Zhang sighed in her heart, but did not persuade her any more.Xue Chang usually looks very kind, but now he is the master of the Xue family after all, and in this family he keeps his promises.

Xue Wu didn't have any objections. To him, it didn't make any difference whether he was working inside or outside the mansion, and what he was best at was working.

"Little sister, don't worry, with your senior brothers and sisters taking care of you, you will be able to do the job of 'man' very quickly." After a word of relief, Xue Chang continued to make arrangements: "After the food stall opens, if there are many customers Now, Xiao Xi and Xiao Mastiff will be responsible for cutting vegetables—"
