But to tell the truth, this floor is really not very pleasant-Zhou Fa’s grandmother, Princess Yongkang, is Xiao Xian’s great grandfather, Mrs. Zhao’s sister. Isn’t Zhou Fa’s Shang brothers two generations taller than Xiao Xian and become grandparents that week? Fortunately, the relatives of this pole are too far away and no one will calculate the seniority.
As soon as Zhou Fa and Xiao Xian couldn’t make friends, they said a few more words. As a result, they introduced each other to the scene for several minutes. As a result, two young people sitting on the left were left hanging for too long. They just wanted to ease the atmosphere and get in touch with embarrassment, but it became even more embarrassing. The fifteen-year-old boy seemed to feel despised and couldn’t swallow his cough. Although some gifts were given, they also had the effect of interrupting Zhou Fa’s conversation.
"Little general can’t be rude." The young warrior in his twenties tried to persuade the fifteen-year-old to look embarrassed for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, Xiao Xian played it by ear and said, "It’s not bad for the officer to be rude. At that time, his curiosity slowed down. The two generals who came to the Lantern Festival have already told the official about this. Isn’t it time for this young general to come to the general for the whole?" It turned out to be a hero who can join the army and kill less generals at such an age. This year, there are … Officials don’t mean anything. Officials are also fourteen-year-old officials, and a department order in the prison is a force with less generals. "
That young boy really came to see Xiao Xian politely, and his young man’s heart was quickly revealed. He didn’t want to learn to be an adult in return. "At the end of this year, he will be 16 years old, but he has already had several thieves when he joined the army in Dengzhou. Xiao Xu was ordered by the court to build a navy ship. Even though it hasn’t been to crusade against Koryo Day in the past two years, if the ship has the opportunity to crusade against water pirates in the future, please take more experience with him."
"Good talk, good talk, good opportunity" Xiao Xian took out the gentle tone of exhortation to the young man and calmed him down. After that, he remembered that he had just hung it for too long and was afraid of the embarrassment of the attendant behind him. He had to ask about the identity of the other party-although according to the statement made by Laixier at the beginning of the year, Xiao Xian was very sure that the attendant would not be a person with status and would never come to himself with Zhou Fa and Zhou Shaofan’s uncle. He should be a Laixier worried that his younger son would be negligent and find an old junior military attache to follow him.
"I don’t know the one next to you … but I haven’t introduced it yet. If it’s convenient, all men are brothers and it’s rude."
Xiao Xian bite to the whole the footman hurriedly left his seat long yi body armor plate with moving rub scrape ring mouth say "base name is worth mentioning? It’s quite rare for a squire to come with a little general to enter this house. How dare you ask Xiao Xu? "
However, he followed his master to the whole, which was obviously less than him. There was no high score in the eyes of the world. When he did all the shopping, he said, "Qin Qiong, you must be so humble. Xiao Xu is also a frank and open-minded person. He won’t think highly of people."
With that, he turned to Xiao Xian and smiled and said, "This is to follow a escort named Qin Qiongqi County, who joined the army in the early years of the great cause. My father saw that his martial arts were extraordinary and diligent, and he was careful in everything for several years. Now he is afraid to come to a young age and travel far away. It is convenient for Qin Dage to follow the point. It is not self-deprecating. A Qin Dage has a martial arts competition for more than a dozen times …….. Eh? Xiao Xu, what’s the matter with you? Listen to a certain speech? "
"Less generals are too modest. If less generals have five years of strength, their martial arts will definitely not be Qin."
As they spoke, they found that Xiao Xian seemed to have entered a state of crashing. His hand with the tea bowl cover was always stiff, and even his fingers seemed to have lost their elasticity for a long time. "Choking" A tea bowl cover fell from the stiff knuckles and fell to pieces, which made Xiao Xian seem to wake up, accompanied by tea choking.
"Ahem … Qin Qiong are you? ? ? Are you really Qin Qiong? Have you ever brought a double bronze mace weighing 60 Jin? Let Xiao see if you should be a servant of Zhang Xutuo since Qi County? "
"Xiao Xu said … Qin Mou couldn’t understand Qin Mou’s martial arts skills, good gun riding and shooting, and he also had some experience in mace weapons. It’s not Qin Mou’s director. I don’t know where Xiao Xu heard that Qin Mou’s base name had this misunderstanding. In Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Jun was a county official. However, the imperial statutes and horses were all led by the guards chief, and it was peaceful and the local defense was trapped. How could it be led by the chief’s adult? Please be cautious in such words! "
"I depend! How to forget this floor! Romance kills people! " Xiao Xian wailed and sighed about being poisoned by the romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Now Zhang Xutuo officials worship Qi County Chief and he Xiao Mou, the Wu County Chief, is a similar official. Changbai Mountain thief Wang Bo hasn’t rebelled yet, or it will only happen after a year and a half. How can a peacetime chief master soldiers? After four years of great cause, of course, Qin Qiong also came to the secondary vocational school of the Children’s Guard.
Chapter 13 Liu Bei fell
"Misunderstanding misunderstanding! Officer also heard through hearsay that Zhang Xutuo’s Zhang Jun-shou had a good way to protect the environment and protect the people from Yongji Canal. There were many thieves in Shandong and Hebei Province. Only Zhang Jun-shou ruled Qi County with awe and order. It was taken for granted that Zhang Jun was on the defensive with Fang Shan Yu Zhijun. Don’t get me wrong. "
Xiao Xian, in the name of haha, gently exposed the misunderstanding just caused by the poison of romance. However, who really believes that this is a naive misunderstanding except for the four people who are young and ignorant and struggle to rectify it? Xiao Xian also refers to cursing at people who come from Wu County, Xiao County, who is better than him through the example of Zhang County Chief in Qi County. Is it that Xiao County Chief is resentful of having let him go to Wu County for an errand but not let him intervene in Wu County’s arms defense? Want to test and see if you can bring the county soldiers into your own hands? If that’s the case, what should we do? In particular, Zhou Fashou, a deputy captain, will face this problem.
In the Sui Dynasty, the county magistrate should not take it for granted that it was as powerful as the Tang Dynasty’s time envoy. Later, the time envoy was political, financial, military and personnel. Of course, when he arrived at the place, it was as easy as the local emperor to form a separatist regime. Nowadays, the chief has politics and wealth, but no army and personnel-or limited personnel, but some secret officials who can join the army can’t meet the chiefs at all levels.
It is true that the rank of a county captain is one level lower than that of a county chief, but they are two lines with no subordinate to each other, just as the provincial government can’t command the provincial military region in later generations (of course, the county is not bigger than the prefecture-level city)
"Xiao Chief got wind of it, so it was a misunderstanding, so I have to take a break. However, since Xiao Chief needs the imperial court to prepare navy ships and armaments, Xiao Chief should ask more questions about the soldiers and garrison situation in some counties, so that it is convenient to check and fill gaps and adjust the planning. We all understand these."
Zhou Fa is still some political wisdom. After organizing a phrase, he said such a thing without flattering or saying anything to death. Even if Xiao Xian wanted to know the military situation, he also got a governor’s mouth, and he had always called Xiao Xu. Now he changed his name to Xiao Chief. His attitude is like a change. Xiao Xian knows that explaining this kind of thing will get darker and darker, so he simply won’t say more.
"You’ve come to Wu County, Xiao Mou, and you should do your best to talk about business today. Xiao Mou ordered people to prepare a banquet and we went to the backyard water pavilion to have a drink-Qin Lvshuai didn’t want to refuse today."
In a word, I am blocked, and I am about to retire from Qin Qiong.
……
These days, the kitchens of adults are always equipped with warm-fire banquet dishes. The so-called warm-fire banquet is all some slow-fire, long-stewed crock pots or steamers that can be kept warm for a long time, so that the dim sum dishes can be taken out for guests at any time. The royal kitchen pots are still attached to the cooktop cauldron, and the dishes of warm-fire banquet are not monotonous in the era of cooking. It seems that historical cooking will not appear until the late Tang Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, and the warm-fire banquet will slowly decline until after the Song Dynasty.
Xiao Xian then chatted with several people for a long time and had two teas. Moreover, when four people came to visit, they didn’t come in a hurry for food, and then the kitchen was fully prepared. Especially when they learned that there was Qin Qiong, Xiao Xian secretly ordered them to prepare more exquisite dishes and banquets. It was really sincere to spread the information on land and water.
What makes Zhou Fa and other four people feel quite strange is the arrangement of the console table in the pavilion-in this era, people are invited to dinner or one person sits on a couch, and each person has a few long tables. There are only a few dishes in front of them, and there is no round table to share meals. In Canglang Pavilion, a circle of long stone benches are paved by the pavilion. Although there is no Hu bench style, there is a Hu bench. In comfort, there is a big stone round table that is impatient to sit on the couch and like to sit on the table. For Beowulf, sitting on this bench can be a big horse with a golden knife.
Zhou Fa, the most knowledgeable of the four people, thought to himself, "I didn’t expect this Xiao Xu-ma to be a legal person without ceremony in private. I heard that Xiao Xu-ma’s literary reputation has always been praised by heaven, and even he is a Taoist stickler. Now it seems that he might as well be close to the public in the future-he will be supervised by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and he will not only learn brilliantly, but also act naturally with ingenuity."
"A few are from the north, but the Wuzhong diet is short of Qilu Yanzhao’s rough and open-minded neglect of distant guests. You will have some-this is the water shield fish soup shipped from the West Lake in Qiantang County; This is the squirrel mandarin fish, or the state-selected Taihu mandarin fish, which is fried with honey juice and egg white; This is the bald yellow cream. After the big crab in Yangcheng Lake, Wuxian County, Sanqiu is steamed, the skillful maid takes out the crab yellow crab cream and cooks the oil seal. Now it is not autumn and winter. This year, the big crab has not grown up without fresh crabs to entertain guests, but this bald yellow cream is fat and fresh, and it is suitable for several generals without eating crabs … "
Water shield fish soup, squirrel mandarin fish, bald yellow paste, Longjing shrimp … plus steamed meat with lotus leaf powder, Dongpo elbow and steamed chicken with swollen fire, these dishes are not afraid of steaming for a long time. It is not a very rich military commander who can recognize 20% to 30% of them, but he is too constrained to move chopsticks, or Xiao Xian advised them several times to let them eat and drink.
The table wine is still rum, but it’s just steamed in a steamer. Xiao Xian can’t make a sealed distiller today. It can be steamed in a steamer, and the chicken steamer is big and small, and the outside is soaked in cooling water. It’s also 30 degrees faster than Taishan Tequ or lower, but the advantage of steaming is that the sugar fermentation in rum is not completely sweet, and it’s best to keep it spicy for Beowulf.
If you are so reserved, you will run away after three rounds of red tape. Even Qin Qiong, who has always felt embarrassed to sit around a table with everyone, will talk too much.
"Alas, this Jiangdong is really a good place. Now this year, Shandong and Hebei are all struggling to live. Here, people can be so rich and rich. Without saying anything, Qi County, the hometown of Qin Lvshuai, heard that Zhang Junshou had already considered banning people from making wine in 2000 for fear that merchants and people would seize grain. Even if he consumes a lot of spirits, to tell the truth, Zhou’s uncle is half of Jiangnan’s ancestral home in Wuzhou. If he knows, he will be a southerner. General Laier is from Yangzhou, which means Jiangdu. I haven’t come back yet.
After listening to Zhou Fa’s hiccups, Qin Qiong had a few drinks, and it seemed that he was somewhat depressed. I don’t know how much food was lost at the thought that this wine was so strong. If Wu Jun is now more affluent, he can prepare for more grain transportation to the north …
Xiao Xian and other fine where you can’t see Qin Qiong put the glass thoughtfully, hurriedly stopped Zhou Fa stopped and explained naturally.
"The country’s effectiveness and the people’s grief-relieving nature is that the official is a county guard. This prohibition is well done! However, you should pay attention to the principle of doing things, and you should also pay attention to the method. Wujun liquor has been in the air for several years, and I won’t tell you the truth today-this Wujun liquor includes those sweet ones that were not made from bamboo cane after squeezing sugar, but the wine yield is not high. Ordinary rice grains can be deducted from 20 kilograms of rice to make wine, and * * kilograms of turbid wine pulp can be obtained. This bamboo cane dregs will never produce wine pulp, and only two kilograms of good bamboo cane dregs will be used up to make bamboo cane in Wujun. Xiao has been controlling the production of bamboo cane wine for years, keeping it strictly confidential. The second priority is to have profit-seeking righteousness. After businessmen know the benefits, they destroy grain fields and switch to bamboo cane. "
Qin Qiong and Zhou Fa were dumbfounded. It was not a secret that Xiao Xian had a successful fief management and that he seemed to have a wealthy businessman running around. Everyone guessed that rum, which had been popular for several years, was originally imported from Fusang country when it was ordered by Danqiantang County in Hangzhou, Xiao Xian, but it was never imagined that the rum brewing method was so simple after Xiao Xian studied it.
Perhaps some people will be surprised-how can businessmen who are so profit-seeking groups not try their best to spy when they see huge profits? However, the actual rum made a little huge profits two years before it appeared. Since then, the price has been stable. It is not surprising that the price of white wine is five or six times. Businessmen have realized that the rum is nearly twice as strong as white wine, so the price should not be huge profits before it was successfully kept secret by Xiao Xian.
Now, when I heard that Xiao Xian kept the price down and didn’t want this wine to win huge profits, it was to protect the poor from being ruined by businessmen spying on the secret law and making wine for profit. The four horses raised their respect for Xiao Xian to a great extent
And this is a major trade secret, but Xiao Xian told four people without hesitation. What kind of letter is this? It’s supposed to be a taboo to talk briefly, but no one can avoid it at this time.
"Just don’t say these vulgar things. Come to Qin Lvshuai Xiao Mou to propose a toast to you. Don’t look at whether Xiao Mou is always weak and honest or respects martial arts and high-strength warriors, regardless of his status."
A few people are there to drink and contact the emotional pavilion, but there are two ladies-in-waiting outside carrying trays. There are rows of Xiao Xian in the mood and said with a straight face, "Didn’t you say that some generals were drinking and didn’t tell the show to come and disturb them? How could they be so winked? Isn’t the dishes all together? "
Zhou Fa, Lai Quan and Qin Qiong were supposed to exhort them to say that they might as well do something. The two maids-in-waiting were holding a plate without a gift and were able to collect the food for half a squat. They replied that "Xu’s atonement is that the princess hall listened to Xu’s hospitality for the guests to drink, lest you be unaccustomed to this liquor and drink too much at one time."
Such an explanation of Xiao Xian’s noodles would be passable, so he personally took the fish soup from the maid-in-waiting plate and put it in front of four people, saying, "My humble Jing always has a good cooking skill. This river knife fish soup is the best one, but Xiao forgot that this is the first time for you to drink this liquor, so let’s try my humble Jing’s craft together."
Four people don’t eat fish with soup. Qin Qiong, let’s wait for a while. Xiao Xian took a bite of a humble jing and didn’t react. After a few mouthfuls of eloquence, Xiao Xian’s humble jing woke up. Is it inconvenient to live in the princess hall? Let the only daughter in heaven make you fish soup … Is this an unimaginable courtesy? Both of them couldn’t help shaking their hands with soup bowls.
Chapter 14 the completion of the blessed boat
Xiao Xian knows that money and status alone can’t buy true loyalty, and now his consorts are sensitive, and the court doesn’t allow him to set foot in the army. As it is still peaceful today, even though some thieves haven’t shown the trend of changing the weather, it’s not a good thing for the environment to show too much behavior and attract hearts, but if it is respecting the virtuous and respecting the martial arts, there will be no problem.
