Chapter 20 Meng Tian’s disbelief (Part 2)
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and took Meng Tian and Li Si to Qin An's residence.
On the way, Ying Zheng repeatedly reminded Meng Tian not to reveal their identities and not to let Qin An know about Da Qin here.
Meng Tian would carry out the orders of the First Emperor without hesitation, even though he still didn't believe Qin An very much. Even though Qin An showed Meng Tian his cell phone, he thought it was just a trick or witchcraft.
The three of them came to Qin An's yard and saw several dishes on the table in the yard, but they did not see Qin An.
"Li Si, call me sir," Ying Zheng said.
"No." Li Si responded, and then shouted loudly: "Sir, are you in the house?"
"Here, here, here. You guys sit outside for a moment. I still have a mutton soup that I haven't finished yet." Qin An's voice came from the room.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Let's go over and sit down, Meng Tian. These are tables and chairs invented by Mr., and they are quite comfortable to sit on."
"Your Majesty, I can't help but salivate when I smell this fragrance." Li Si said.
"I also smelled it, it seemed to be the aroma of the dishes on the table, which was completely different from the aroma of the dishes cooked in the imperial kitchen.
Smelling this fragrance makes me feel hungry. "Ying Zheng said with interest as he touched his belly.
Meng Tian said: "Because the gentleman is far away from the chef, this gentleman actually cooks the dishes himself. I really don't understand what attracts your majesty."
"You'll find out later," Ying Zheng said.
Then he walked to the square table and sat down. Li Si followed Ying Zheng and did not dare to sit down without Ying Zheng's order.
Meng Tian was the same, but stood behind Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at the steaming dishes on the table and said, "I'll have a taste first."
Then I picked up the chopsticks on the table and took a bite. The delicious taste immediately filled my taste buds.
"Hmm. It's delicious. It's really delicious. Li Si, Meng Tian, you should try it too. These dishes are really delicious. They are completely different from what you have eaten before."
"promise."
Li Si and Meng Tian saw Ying Zheng's performance and were already looking forward to several dishes on the table. Now that they received Ying Zheng's order, they directly picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating.
After the two tasted it, they both gave a thumbs up.
It was so delicious. Compared with the dishes on the table, the delicacies I had eaten before were almost like pig food.
"Coming, coming." Qin An's voice sounded from inside the house.
He also walked out of the room, holding an urn in his hand. It wasn't that Qin An didn't want to bring out a big bowl, but there was really no big bowl available.
"It smells so good." Ying Zheng and the other three said at the same time.
Qin An put the urn on the table and said, "Can it not be fragrant? This is mutton soup. I know that a sheep was just slaughtered in the village.
So I shamelessly asked for some mutton, mutton bones and offal from the villagers, and then stewed them together.
Although drinking mutton soup in summer will make people angry, it is still good to eat it occasionally. "
Qin An said as he served Ying Zheng and the others a bowl of mutton soup with some mutton and offal in it.
Meng Tian said: "Sir, is this haggis edible? We all throw it away."
"Throw it away?" Qin An was shocked, "You are really wasting it. Whether it's haggis, beef offal, or even chicken, duck, dog, and pig offal, they are all delicacies to me, so it would be too wasteful to throw them away.
If you don’t want it, then give it to me. I’ll use it to make braised meat and I can make a lot of money by selling it. "Qin An said.
Ying Zheng said: "Sir, are people outside willing to eat these things?"
"More than willing, I have to pay a lot of money to eat it."
"Then I want to have a taste." Ying Zheng picked up the bowl and started eating.
"I'll have a taste too." Li Si followed suit.
When Meng Tian was in a dilemma, he finally decided to eat it too.
Ying Zheng drank the mutton soup in the bowl in one go, and also finished the mutton and haggis in the bowl.
"It's really delicious." Ying Zheng praised it full of praise.
Li Si also put down the bowl and said, "I didn't expect that the soup made from this haggis would be so delicious."
"That's it." Meng Tian put down the bowl and said.
Qin An smiled and said: "It's really not that good. Firstly, the cooking time is not enough. Secondly, there is not enough seasoning. The mutton soup is not as delicious as it is. I will get some seasoning for you to try next time.
However, Lao Meng, compared with your ancestor, General Meng Tian, you are really far behind.
I just saw you hesitate when drinking the mutton soup. If you were an ancestor, you would have finished it in one go very boldly. "
Ying Zheng said: "Sir, do you still know about Lao Meng's ancestors?"
"Don't you understand?" Qin An said, "Meng Tian won the trust of the First Emperor and was sent by the First Emperor to attack the Huns in the north. He regained the land in Henan and shocked the Huns, and was known as the 'No. 1 Warrior in China'.
What a pity, Fusu was with Meng Tian after he was demoted.
When Fusu was deceived by the fake edict, Meng Tian reminded Fusu that the edict might be fake, and asked Fusu to go to Xianyang to confront the First Emperor.
It's a pity that Fusu didn't stop and chose to commit suicide. "
"How stupid." Ying Zheng scolded angrily, "Since someone has warned him, wouldn't Fusu want to go to Xianyang first? He was so stupid that he committed suicide."
Qin An said: "This is not the fault of the First Emperor. It is the fault of the father who is not raised as a godfather. The reason why Fusu acted like this is entirely caused by the First Emperor."
"Bold." Meng Tian couldn't bear it anymore, "Shi Huangdi, you can say whatever you want."
"Shut up." Ying Zheng scolded immediately.
Qin An was frightened by what Ying Zheng and Meng Tian said. What happened to Lao Meng? It’s already over two thousand, why are you still so excited?
Oh, I get it, they must think that they are still in the Qin Dynasty. They can only say that they are not exposed to the outside world and are too backward.
Li Si didn't know what Qin An was thinking. Seeing that he was stunned, he immediately said: "Sir, don't be nervous. This Lao Meng has always regarded the First Emperor as his god. He will be very angry when he hears others say bad things about the First Emperor."
Qin An came back to his senses and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little heartbroken. There is really too little contact with the outside world here, and I know nothing about the outside world.
Lao Meng, I know that you are a descendant of Meng Tian, and you must have always taken it as your duty to protect the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor.
But both the Qin Dynasty and the First Emperor have been dead for more than two thousand years. In today's society, the people are the masters of the country. After the country has integrated with international standards, the economy, science and technology, and people's lives have all been qualitatively improved.
I have said that you should leave the village and have a try in the outside world. It is absolutely worth it. "
"What? What did you say?" Meng Tian was shocked and looked at Ying Zheng and Li Si in disbelief.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's it. Now you know why sir is sir."
