"Husband, I'm sorry..." Xu Ning said softly after Lu Su got in the car.
"It's my own problem. The Xu family just did what they have always done." Lu Su said very freely, then opened the car window and looked towards Chang'an. He could vaguely see a group of people watching on the wall of Chang'an. His own general.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others did not come. They knew what Lu Su had done. Although they should come to see him off personally, Lu Su mixed three questions together and asked him to force the palace, just like As Yu Jin said at that time, he almost couldn't help but give Lu Su a few eyes.
In addition, Lu Su went to the Ganges River, and this group of people would inevitably look up but not look down again in the future. Guan Yu and others were also prepared to get drunk and get over this matter.
As a result, when the time came for Lu Su to really leave, the group of people woke up, and then appeared collectively on the wall of Chang'an to watch the imperial guards escorting Lu Su to the Ganges River.
"Xianger, why are you so restless? What happened?" After Lu Su closed the car window, he turned around and saw Ji Xiang's face was expressionless, but somewhat restless.
"Sister finally got a complete set of medical equipment from Chen Hou, but before she was happy, she had to go to the Ganges River." Xu Ning looked at Ji Xiang and said.
"It's hard for her." Lu Su sighed, then touched Ji Xiang's head, and Ji Xiang became less restless. "Have a good rest, those things will be sent to the Ganges River later."
"Father, do I not have to go to school?" Lu Shu asked with doubts.
"You still need to read books to learn." Xu Ning held Lu Shu's head and said, "In the future, my aunt will not have any students, so I will teach you one."
"Oh." Lu Shu nodded a little disappointedly. At this age, he was at the point where he didn't want to study. He thought he wouldn't need to study this time when he was traveling far away, but he didn't expect that he would still have to study.
"Let's learn, books are still very interesting." Lu Su said gently.
"Let's go, let's go. Zijing has walked more than ten kilometers. He has crossed the horizon and can't be seen anymore." Zhang Fei shouted. They all stood on the city wall of Chang'an to watch Lu Su off. As one of the first few under Liu Bei's command, Wen Chen came from Taishan and started at a young age. At the beginning, the relationship was very good, but many things would not change according to personal will.
"Let's go." Hua Xiong greeted, and then a group of people came down from the city, ready to continue drinking. They won't be able to stay for too long when they come back. Ganges cannot always be so empty. Even if they believe in the abilities of people like Zhong Yao, If we talk for a long time, Kushan will find out sooner or later.
"Speaking of which, even though we have been fighting in the north and south for so many years, we have never really seen the world of the Central Plains." Zhao Yun said somewhat sadly as he followed Guan Yu down the city wall.
Guan Yu paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, and finally said nothing. Indeed, most of the generals and commanders in this world did not have time to take a good look at the Central Plains world.
To be honest, there are probably only a few people like San Sha who have traveled to most places in the Central Plains.
In fact, even Liu Bei and Chen Xi did not travel all over the Central Plains. The original plan was to visit Yongliang and Yizhou in the eighth year of Yuanfeng. They would take the Yangtze River, cross the Grand Canal and go north to Jizhou, take a boat to western Liaoning, and then go overland to Liaodong, all the way westward. Youzhou, Bingzhou, and then back south to Chang'an.
Unfortunately, Liu Hao's incident involved a lot of energy, causing the original inspection plan to be shelved. It is estimated that it will not be implemented until the beginning of Yuanfeng's tenth year.
As a result, the great court meeting at the end of Yuanfeng's tenth year will most likely be postponed again, but it doesn't matter. The great court meeting at the end of Yuanfeng's fifth year has been postponed, which is considered a old practice.
"When Guishang is destroyed in the future, the world will be settled, and we will be free." Yu Jin said to Zhao Yun. Among the generals of the Han army, Zhao Yun was the most sensitive.
"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded and said nothing, but he vaguely felt that even if Guishang was defeated, it might not be the end.
"Sent away?" When Chen Xi was eating braised pork rice, he saw Liu Bei appear, stopped the spoon in his hand and asked Liu Bei.
"Well, I'll see you off. The lunch was pretty good. It's one of the Eight Treasures of the Emperor." Liu Bei looked at the braised pork rice served by the big boss of the Political Yuan. He originally wanted to find a way to change the subject.
, at this glance, I found a very suitable topic.
Chen Xi paused while picking up the rice, and then looked down. Indeed, Chun'ao was really one of Zhou Li's Eight Treasures of the Emperor. No wonder every time he ate braised pork rice, the bureaucrats working in the Political Yuan would celebrate the festival. Same thing, apart from being really delicious, this meal is probably of high quality.
"Xuan Degong, when you said this, do you know what I thought of?" Chen Xi looked away from the bowl, then looked at Liu Bei and said.
"What?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
"The princess has been eating Tailao every day for a while." Chen Xi said with a smile. Eating a whole head of the best beef cattle as food is considered Tailao according to Zhou etiquette.
"..." Zhuge Liang, who was eating on the side, glanced at Chen Xi. If he hadn't known that Liu Tong's Tai Lao was often given to the Political Yuan, he would have said something extravagant.
"Times have changed. It used to be difficult to supply these things. Now we can supply them, so it seems normal. But it would be better if it became normal." Chen Xi stopped his smile and said slowly, "How about changing the year-end target to On New Year’s Eve, everyone gets a bowl of braised pork rice.”
"I think it's better to forget it. It's almost the Chinese New Year. Now it's changed to this. I'm a little nervous. Some things may seem small, but counting the number of people, they are very serious." Zhuge Liang interrupted Chen Xi, "This spoonful Braised pork, when combined with the total population of 8,000 in the inner and outer jurisdictions, is not a matter of money, just allocating manpower requires a lot of energy."
"How about changing it to the first day of the Lunar New Year and having a good meal on the first day of the first lunar month." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"It's no different from the fact that you haven't changed it. You're a little late in time, and you're a little late in transporting the meat. Not to mention the manpower problem, just the transportation is troublesome enough, and there is no complete animal husbandry in the south. This thing is not prosperous. Use fish meat." Zhuge Liang said while holding the spoon.
It's not that Chen Xi's idea is a problem. Zhuge Liang knows that Chen Xi can do it if he really wants to do it. It's just that the time is too rushed and there is no need for this.
"That's right." Chen Xi nodded without retorting, "Actually, what you said is not the point. The point is not what you said. Those problems can be solved. The eldest princess can distribute the snacks to people. If I go up, I can transport this thing, and the real problem is not in this aspect."
"Because the common people may not know how to cook this." The cook brought the braised pork rice to Liu Bei. After taking a bite, Liu Bei said the answer on Chen Xi's behalf.
"Yes, the above are not the problem, but the following is the problem." Chen Xi nodded. It is difficult to distribute supplies, but it has been distributed several times. This time, time is tight, and a meal like this Even if it is later, the people will not care. If it is a New Year's Eve dinner, New Year's Eve has not arrived, and New Year's Day has not arrived. As long as it arrives before the Lantern Festival, these people will be happy to accept it.
In fact, according to Chinese custom, the Lantern Festival is regarded as the New Year's Eve. On the contrary, how to make braised pork rice is a big problem. To be honest, Chen Xi has no confidence in the cooks of this era.
There is a saying that a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. Before the Yuanfeng Year, people basically faced the problem of not having enough food supplies. In this case, ordinary families had a lot of time to study how to cook and how to make it delicious. There was not even rice, let alone meat.
In fact, the explosive growth of Chinese food began in the Tang and Song Dynasties. After Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty solved the problem of eating, and then came up with the concept of studying how to eat better. By the time of Kaiyuan, "Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan, Xiao There are still thousands of houses in the city, and the rice is dripping with fat and the corn is white." At that time, we had the basis for studying various kinds of food.
In the early days, we didn’t even have enough rice, so we were just researching it!
Therefore, if Chen Xi distributes meat to make braised pork rice, it will most likely be difficult for those people. Although he can distribute spices and ingredients at the same time, it would be deliberately difficult.
In the past, Chen Xi could not understand why army cooks needed systematic training. After coming to this era, Chen Xi realized that it would not work without training. Most of the soldiers may not actually be able to cook. What they call cooking is cooking. It's just as long as it's cooked enough that it won't break your stomach. Everything about the taste is nonsense. In addition, people rarely leave their local area these days,
The reaction to the lack of contact with the outside world is that after following the army to a new place, the few junk recipes they have are completely destroyed, but they are destroyed, and the local specialties are simply cooked in water. If you add some salt to your rice, you can still feel full even if you are very hungry, that's fine.
The problem is that this kind of thing is really not delicious, and is even a bit weird.
Especially when the northern soldiers went south to the Ganges, the first wave of military rations was extorted by Li You from Funan, Meng State and other places, mainly dried mangoes, dried bananas, dried jackfruit, etc.
At that time, the soldiers were stunned when they received such a wave of military rations. They had never seen this type of military rations before. Forget it, they poured it all into a pot and boiled it with water. They boiled it vigorously on high fire and simmered it randomly on low fire until the whole thing melted. Boil it into a thick semi-paste, add salt to it, and serve one bowl per person.
Chen Xi couldn't imagine what the hell kind of cooking method that was. Anyway, I heard from Li You that the soldiers liked this kind of food, and said it was pretty good, especially after adding batter or rice cereal to it, it seemed to be quite delicious. , Li You even went out of his way to open the eyes of the people in the Political Yuan.
How should I put it, not to mention the strange sticky state, and if you don’t add salt indiscriminately, it can actually be eaten, especially after filtering the strange rice paste and replacing it with Zhuge Liang’s old uncle’s sago and sago. Jiaozhou's Shaoxiancao actually tastes pretty good.
Of course, this is a successful case, but there are too many failed cases. For example, the African exotic aloe vera fried Ganges papaya is still the kind without peeling.
How should I put it? It is true that you won’t have diarrhea after eating it, but the taste is really amazing. Therefore, after collecting a bunch of classic dishes of the gangtou soldiers, Chen Xi trained the gangtou soldiers in an orderly manner. I don’t ask you to do it. It’s so delicious, at least the dish you want to cook won’t be so harmful!
It's obviously some pretty good stuff, but it makes you become extremely weird after you cook it together.
For example, mango meat and fungus porridge, how should I put it, in terms of nutrition, it is definitely top-notch, but when this thing was made by Huantou Bing, it was almost a fight because of the color and luster. The mix of styles leaves one speechless.
In short, since then, Chen Xi has specially organized manpower to train gang leaders, and also trained cooks in state-owned factories and mines. It doesn’t matter how good you are, at least it should be at a level that normal humans can accept. Don’t be too fancy. Yes, it makes people unable to eat.
"Is that so?" Zhuge Liang thought for a while, then looked at the oily and fragrant braised pork rice in his bowl, and couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, if ordinary people were to make this thing, I'm afraid they really wouldn't be able to make it. It's quite difficult. High.
"Yes, most people have only been seriously exposed to meat in the past few years. In the past, even if they could come into contact with it, they had very little time. It was difficult to accumulate experience in handling meat. Now the mainstream method of cooking meat is not roasting. Just cook it. Don’t hold out hope for something as difficult as it is now. If you can’t make it, trial and error is also a cost.” Chen Xi sighed and said.
Zhuge Liang was silent for a while. Indeed, no matter how ordinary the Zhuge family is, no matter how hard they work in Nanyang, they are still fundamentally different from ordinary people.
At the very least, ordinary people would not have slaves and boys dedicated to taking care of them, but Zhuge Liang still had them even when he was farming Nanyang.
"But as long as we continue to develop forward, sooner or later the common people will learn these things, and maybe they will develop new ways to eat them." Chen Xi said with a smile, then turned to look at Yuan Yin aside, "Buy one at a low price. The spices from Bosnia and Herzegovina are almost ready for use by the supply and marketing cooperatives. The basis of peace in the world is that people must be fed first."
Yuan Yin quickly wrote this down. In recent years, the price of spices has plummeted. If all the people can use it if they enter the supply and marketing cooperative, the price will rise a little.
"Just tell the south." Chen Xi said casually. Southeast Asia is now in a state of chaos. The army and navy are passive. Lu Xun and Lu Meng have been transferred back from Central Asia. Many problems are directly placed in Jingchu. In front of the aristocratic family, they are now at a critical point of turmoil. After all, neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu helped, and they did not even have the foundation to save themselves.
Therefore, Chen Xi collects spices at low prices, which can even be considered
A plan to stabilize people's hearts. This is equivalent to telling those people that although you behave like rubbish, for the sake of Zhu Xia's unity, I will not abandon you directly.
