Chapter 331: Trading Fish for Territory

Jiang Xinyan ordered Chu Lixiang and Song Mingjiang to distribute bowls, and then selected dozens of strong men to share the fish head soup. The old men and women sat on the snow rakes to eat.

Everyone else ate while standing or squatting, gathered around the big iron pot, and after finishing a bowl of fish soup, those who liked it could add another bowl.

All the people want to eat after drinking a bowl of fish soup, and want to eat braised fish cubes, even though the fish soup is delicious.

However, the aroma of braised fish is more attractive. “If we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes, there was only fish here, and I wouldn’t have believed it was fish meat.”

"Yes! It's so fragrant and delicious, and the fish soup is white and delicious. Who would have guessed that it's made from fish?"

"This is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten in my life," said a soldier.

"I remember when you ate braised beef before, you said it was the best braised beef you had ever eaten in your life?"

"I told you, what? Is there a problem?" the elite soldier asked with wide innocent eyes.

"Hey! There seems to be nothing wrong with it. In fact, I also think it is the most delicious fish." Just saying this, it seems that our lives have been in vain.

Everyone burst into laughter, feeling happy from the bottom of their hearts.

King Zhenbei sat opposite Chu Lixuan and his wife, "This is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten. You have caught so many fish, do you want to take some to the city to sell?"

"Is this the most delicious thing? Later, I will make a whole fish feast for you to try!" Jiang Xinyan said proudly.

"An all-fish banquet? Can fish still make ten dishes?" Leng Yue asked in surprise.

In fact, King Zhenbei also wanted to ask. As a prince and a person of such status, he was embarrassed to ask questions casually.

That's why Leng Yue dared to interrupt and ask the prince what he was feeling.

Jiang Xinyan didn't know what to say when she heard that Leng Yue was asking, so she had no choice but to popularize the whole fish feast with everyone.

The so-called banquet means that after the banquet is complete, it is colorful, fragrant and mouth-watering.

The main raw materials are naturally fish, which pays attention to freshness, and the knife skills are fine and varied.

Use the original soup more often to maintain the original flavor of the fish; pay attention to the color, shape and beauty, and pay attention to the nutritional combination.

It has both the light and tender southern flavor and the fragrant, salty and spicy northern flavor. It is suitable for both young and old, and is also addictive for young people.

Cold dishes - Ruyi fish roll, Wuhu smoked fish, spicy fish skin, three-color fish cake, crispy fish steak, crystal fish jelly, hand-shredded cured fish, cold shredded fish,

Hot dishes - Braised water, Pipa fish balls, peony mandarin fish, crispy red carp, steamed sea bass, vinegar saury, fried shredded fish, pickled fresh mandarin fish, double-flavored fish maw.

"Wow! If I weren't eating fish right now, I would be drooling just listening to it. Yan'er, why are you planning to make a fish feast?"

Jiang Xinyan was so proud when she heard King Zhenbei asked impatiently. She thought King Zhenbei would show off and ask his subordinates to ask again!

Chu Lixuan looked at her proud look and felt so soft, "Let's do it tomorrow, I'm too tired today."

He thought that he would ask someone else to do it tomorrow, and he couldn't let her work like this.

"Tomorrow is fine, but I won't go back tonight." King Zhenbei only stayed for the fish feast.

He has been very busy recently. There are many things in the city that need to be arranged by him, and the border military camp also needs to be rebuilt.

"My king's soldiers also learned how to bake bricks before, and I want to rebuild the military camp."

Jiang Xinyan remembered that the last time they went to the border, what they saw was just a natural border with North Vietnam and a huge mountain.

With other countries, natural entities are used as markers to demarcate borders, including rivers, lakes, mountains, etc.

They always think that dividing national borders by nature has defensive value, but in fact it has many disadvantages. The North Vietnamese are good at climbing mountains, making it easier to attack by force.

"My lord, you can also build a city wall on the border! That way there will be two layers of protective barriers, and it will be much harder for North Vietnam to attack."

Chu Lixuan understood what his young wife was thinking, "It would be best to build another trade city that would not focus on production, but mainly trade goods with North Vietnam."

When Jiang Xinyan heard what Chu Lixuan said, she glanced at the man in surprise. They didn't have time to discuss this matter.

It was only when she heard that King Zhenbei wanted to burn bricks that she thought of building the city wall. She originally wanted to suggest it directly.

She looked at the man with admiration in her eyes: You are so awesome! You are thinking of the same thing as me.

Chu Lixuan: My husband knows what you are thinking, so he said it. My husband is most afraid of others thinking about your abilities.

What a pity! Jiang Xinyan can't read minds and doesn't understand Chu Lixuan's meaning. She thought the man thought of it himself.

He continued to worship him with sparkling eyes, which made Chu Lixuan sweet and a little embarrassed at the same time.

The King of Zhenbei was so shocked that he held back his words for a long time: "I knew I would have chosen you to do it."

Jiang Xinyan was furious in an instant. Didn't this idiot prince know that the commander of the Jin Yiwei came to track them down this time?

Chu Lixuan quickly held her hand and shook his head at her, "The prince has promoted you, but I am a prisoner now and have no qualifications!"

When the King of Zhenbei heard Chu Lixuan's words, it was as if someone had poured cold water on him. This time, the commander set his target on Lanni Town.

It's not that he didn't know, it was just that he was too excited just now, so he forgot about it.

The King of Zhenbei told Chu Lixuan and the others that according to the information brought by the commander this time, Nanman had already sent their credentials on the way.

At this time, the emperor should have received an envoy from the Southern Barbarians. It was the Lu family army on the southern border who sent troops privately to rob the Southern Barbarians of food.

The agreement signed before does not count. This time Dongchen broke the contract first, and he either had to fight or lose the city and food.

After hearing this, Chu Lixuan's anger surged. That was the contract that the Chu family's army had exchanged for their lives!

Jiang Xinyan glanced at Chu Lixuan worriedly. She was afraid that he would turn dark, especially after knowing that he spent his whole life growing up on the battlefield on the southern border.

She held his big hand firmly with her small hand and looked at him with worry on her face. Chu Lixuan calmed down instantly, that's all.

That world is no longer his, nor is it something he should worry about. All his relatives have been exiled to this northern cold land.

Haha! They have brought this bitter cold land to life, and their castle will be widened.

King Zhenbei was also worried that if a war started on the southern border, the Lu family army would no longer have half a million soldiers.

The King of Zhenbei did not dare to tell Chu Lixuan that the last time he made a sneak attack to grab food, he lost nearly 100,000 elite soldiers. Now, with less than 200,000 elite soldiers, he has no ability to resist.

Yazhou City is already an empty city. It is said that the corpses of refugees fleeing famine were eaten by the Lu family army.

Chu Lixuan knew this. He had seen it himself and rescued 30,000 Chu family troops!

"Your Majesty, you just asked us if we can sell the fish. Does Your Majesty have any money?" Chu Lixuan said in a low and cold voice.

"Silver? No! Didn't you get credit last time?" King Zhenbei was stunned.

"Now that there is a war in the south, the imperial court will not give you military pay. What will the prince give you in return?"
Chapter completed!
