Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 26

Let's say that Zhao Zhen couldn't help but have thoughts in his mind after hearing the news about Li Er's inquiry. He asked the boy to bring out two fat rabbits that he had packed up, and thanked Li Er and Tian Lei.

Zhao Zhen returned to his study, took out "Shi Xian Hong Mi" (remnant), carefully copied down sixteen fish recipes, and was ready to receive Gao Hu, the director of the pavilion.

Zhao Zhen was uneasy when he received Shangguan for the first time. He was even more nervous because of the expansion of mountains, forests and lakes. Fighting cocks, hunting dogs, and the best carp in the pond are all prepared, and the ingredients are prepared in the kitchen, waiting for Gao Hu to come here to measure the land and correct the fish scale book.

While waiting anxiously, the boy at the entrance of the village came to report that the pavilion chief had brought many people to the village and was asking about the villagers. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen hurried out of the village to pick him up. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw a big man, with eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a moustache, about 24 or 5 years old, more than eight feet tall, riding a tall white horse with curly hair, followed by a four-foot-tall dog.

Zhao Zhen hurried forward to meet Li, and Gao Hu said with a smile: "Zhao Baozheng doesn't need to be polite. Just wait a moment. I checked the fish scale book today. They are all colleagues. I will inevitably cause a lot of trouble in the future."

Zhao Zhen said: "I have been waiting for my superior for a long time. There is some wine in the thatched cottage to express my feelings. Please eat some snacks and drink some tea. It won't be too late to come back to proofread after you have a rest."

Gao Hu saw that the weather was really hot and everyone had been busy for a long time. They were hungry and thirsty and had slacked off a lot in doing things, so he nodded in agreement.

The crowd gathered around Gao Hu and Zhao Zhen and rushed into Zhuangzi. The kitchen received the letter and brought the vegetables, fruits, fish, chicken, duck, etc. that had been prepared long ago to the table. Under the leadership of Tian Lei, similar farmers came forward to pour wine and persuade each other diligently.

During the banquet, Zhao Zhen said: "Since I have awakened to my profession as a manor master, I have been working hard to manage the fantasy world. I have obtained half a volume of broken pages of an ancient book, which contains sixteen recipes for making fish. I heard that the chief of the pavilion is best at eating fish, so I have copied it down for you. Let's talk to Shangguan." After that, he took out the copied recipe from his arms and handed it over.

Gao Hu took it, unfolded it, looked at it carefully, nodded and accepted it.

Zhao Zhen pointed to the fish on the table and said: "This dish is called the appetizer fish head. Choose a good silver carp, just wash the fish head, cut it open from the middle of the fish lip, cut the thicker part of the fish with a diagonal knife, and chop the pepper into pieces. Then steam it with the fish head."

Zhao Zhen held up chopsticks to persuade him, and Gao Hu picked up a chopstick. The meat on the fish head is tender and translucent in the mouth, soft and waxy, salty and slightly spicy. It tasted better than usual, and I ate a few more bites without realizing it.

Fish balls in clear soup, fried fish steaks, braised fish cubes, braised fish in water, etc. are introduced one by one. Gao Hu was very happy to eat, and Zhao Zhen looked at it clearly and said: "Unfortunately, there are no big fish in the village, and there are no chefs, so we just cook them randomly. In the fantasy world, Xiao Ke once got a fish that was five feet long and weighed more than a hundred kilograms. For heavy herring, there is a chef who will host a whole fish banquet. Now that I think about it, although it is not as good as the delicacies of mountains and seas, it is still somewhat ingenious. I recently plan to open a fish restaurant in the county town and also serve as a training place for the chef (fish) unit. A way."

Gao Hu said: "Yes, there are some skills. I am very good at eating fish. I have never seen this fish until I have eaten it for sixteen years. When you open the business, I will also send two people to learn how to cook. Zhao Baozheng will still need to take care of him." .”

"Thank you for taking care of me, sir. Please stay close to me, sir." Zhao Zhen raised his glass.

Zhao Zhen intended to flatter him. Gao Hu saw that although Zhao Zhen was young, he was smart and capable, and he also intended to make friends. The host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.

After a few more drinks, Gao Hu said, "You wait until everyone has corrected the fish scale book, then come and have a drink."

The gentleman drank wine and rested again. After listening to Gao Hu's instructions, they all went outside the village under the guidance of Tian Lei and went to proofread the fish scale book. Zhao Zhen accompanied Gao Hu and was still drinking in the court. Gao Hu was in his early twenties, and as a child of the royal family, his teachings were naturally more strict. He was also the pavilion chief, and when he first took office, he was afraid that his subordinates would bully him because he was young, so he was naturally more serious.

Now after drinking, he saw that Zhao Zhen was younger than him, so he talked more. Pointing at the dog lying on the ground, he said in a show-off manner: "Zhao Baozheng, have you ever seen such a big dog?"

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to answer, he added: "We are waiting for the children of the Ji family to enter Haojing to study or worship their ancestors. They need to stay for a full year. Because they have to participate in the royal hunting, they go to the dog market to buy hounds. It's a coincidence. I came across a dog on the market that gave birth to ten sons, so I bought them all. Only this one has grown up, is over four feet tall, has human nature, and is already a third-level alien species."

Zhao Zhen said: "The "Natural History" records that a dog with four feet is a mastiff. I just saw it in person today. Xiao Ke also bought some hounds and shepherd dogs, but none of them were so majestic. There was only one Liangshan Xixi with black hair all over and white hoofs. The dog is flying on the snow, but it is a pity that it has not grown up yet.”

After saying that, he asked the waiter to take it out and take a look.

It's a small one, with a round body and no trace of a thin dog. Zhao Zhen took it into his arms, and the puppy licked Zhao Zhen's chin.

Gao Hu looked at it and said, "It seems that you are quite popular with dogs. I, the tiger-spotted general, am not wary of you today."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately thought that this should be the effect of the second-level wolf fang pendant effect 3: fear of power, the sharp teeth of wolves, engraved with animal patterns, intimidating, and easy to attract canine creatures to take action.

Gao Hu went on to say: "Although Xueshang Fei has never been seen, he is called a heterogeneous species, but he is not really a heterogeneous species. If you have luck in the fantasy world, you can enlighten it in the fantasy world, and then you can truly enter the level. If you don't enter the level, you will end up with it. It’s a mortal thing.”

Zhao Zhen heard this and quickly asked a few questions. Gao Hu didn't hide his secrets and told what he knew.

Only then did Zhao Zhen realize that entering the next level was a jump in the level of life, which was extraordinary. The first thing to show is intelligence. Different species have different levels of improvement. Gao Hu said that he saw a fourth-order golden monkey in Haojing. He was wearing human clothes, knew shame, and behaved just like humans. I have also seen second-level redback spiders being killed by first-level yellow skins.

Gao Hu was talking enthusiastically: "You should have also asked about it. Although I come from the royal family, there are so many descendants of the royal family, but I am not favored. Otherwise, I would not be sent out. I am just fighting for the food officials. It is not my job to serve. There are also benefits that no one can control. At the same time, Luliu Township is a newly emerging area. Although it is called a township, the township has less than 3000 households, which is inferior to Yangdian Township, Juntun Township, Baishi Township, and Yiqiao Township, which have more than households. There are no three elders here, who have order and travel, and all are entrusted to me.

If you want to go further, you need to recruit more villagers and train villagers. Your village of less than a hundred households is indeed too small. You also need to know that there is only one village in a village, and there are no pavilions until there are more than 500 households. I don’t think I can still be a decent person..."

While he was talking, there was a commotion outside, and someone came to report. The fish scale book was clearly proofread and verified to be correct.

Gao Hu stood up and said, "Now that we have stopped drinking, there is still a village that needs to be checked, so I will go there today. Zhao Baozheng has prepared the seal early and has it filed in the pavilion."

After saying this, he called General Tiger Spot and led the pavilion officials out of the village.
