Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 301 General Wang An entertains all ministers

Su He didn't know that the person who came this time was the Ninth Prince, the owner of Fu Manlou, otherwise she would have to think of how to hide.

The Ninth Prince and his entourage were arranged in a large house that had been prepared in advance, and the servants and maids were all arranged properly. These people were strictly selected. General Wang An knew that the Ninth Prince was coming this time, so he needed to make careful arrangements. There were soldiers guarding the perimeter all day to ensure the safety of the ministers.

He also knew Qi Rui, the leader of the team this time. He was an acquaintance. A daughter from a branch of their Wang family married a boy from Wu Qi Rui's branch family. They were relatives in some way. They were relatives who probably wouldn't be involved in the Nine Clan Punishment, but they were related.

To popularize the nine clans, it includes the great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, son, grandson, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, and oneself, which is exactly nine generations. This is the vertical nine clans in ancient times. This was used more frequently in ancient times, and most of them were people from these nine clans.

There are also four generations of great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father's generation, three generations of maternal grandfather, grandmother, aunt and uncle, and finally the father-in-law and mother-in-law's generation. This involves more people, but is generally less used.

But they all knew each other, after all, they all had to be familiar with the family's network of relationships. This was also one of the reasons why the Wu family supported General Wang An, although it was not the main reason.

They greeted each other and did not talk in detail. This time the time was longer, and there must be time to sit down and talk properly, so there was no rush. Wang An needed to learn about the situation in the capital from Wu Qirui. The information they often sent back was still limited and time-sensitive.

The Ninth Prince still respected General Wang An. When he got off the car and saw General Wang An, he took the initiative to greet him, and his attitude was very humble, without the arrogance of a prince.

They were each invited to a designated courtyard to rest after their long journey. In the evening, General Wang An would host a banquet to entertain all the ministers.

We all served in the same court, and General Wang An would return to the capital every year to report on his work, so most of us were familiar with each other. So this time, we were not completely strangers to each other.

Everyone is still looking forward to the food in the border town. Generally, when you go to a strange place, you are interested in the local landscape, customs and people, and you have a special liking for the local food culture.

Today, they have already experienced the infinite scenery of the border town on the way. The vast grassland, which is far away and has no end, makes people yearn for it. Everyone walked all the way on the grassland near the border town. Although they did not enter the heart of the grassland, they still had a close contact with it.

Tonight, General Wang An said that he would welcome everyone and let everyone taste the unique food of Fenggu City, including roasted whole lamb, grilled skewers, braised lamb, local dairy products and mountain products.

Everyone listened to these delicacies. Some had eaten them before, some had only heard of them. Since they had never been here, they were all looking forward to this delicious dinner in the evening.

As dusk gradually falls, the black night spreads across the endless night sky, with stars dotting the black curtain like night lights. The night sky over the grassland is even darker and farther away, so far away that it is beyond reach and boundless.

Under the night sky, in the hall at the front of the large courtyard where they lived, General Wang An had asked the chefs in the kitchen to use their best skills to prepare a large table of delicious food.

There was a big bonfire in the middle of the yard, and a little fat lamb was placed on an iron rack next to it, being slowly roasted. The sizzling fat from the lamb dripped onto the firewood, making the flames suddenly become very big and bright.

Everyone was invited from their rooms to the hall by maids dressed in gorgeous clothes. General Wang An had been waiting in the hall, sitting next to the main seat. Seeing everyone coming in one after another, he stood up and invited the officials to take their seats.

The Ninth Prince and Wu Qirui were asked to sit at the top. After they gave way to each other, the Ninth Prince was finally allowed to sit at the main seat. The Ninth Prince did not refuse and asked Wu Qirui and General Wang An to sit down quickly.

Then General Wang An asked the cook who was roasting the meat to serve the whole lamb. The cook held a knife and stood on an empty table in the middle. A servant brought the roasted lamb with a golden caramelized skin. He used his hands to slice the lamb evenly.

The most delicious part is the lamb hind leg, which is fat and lean, and the meat is firm and chewy. There are also tender and juicy lamb ribs and tender lamb shoulder meat, which are all very tempting and can't be stopped.
