The big man has not said that dog meat cannot be eaten at the banquet. What's more, when the two armies are fighting, it is good to have meat to eat. Why are you picky?
Fan Kuai took it upon himself to kill two big black dogs skillfully, cut them into large pieces, and threw them into the pot... Then Fan Kuai drove away the others, carefully took out a bag from his arms, grabbed a handful of things from it, and To throw into the pot.
"Bold Fan Kuai, dare to poison!"
Fan Kuai was shocked and turned his head quickly, but saw no one. He was surprised at first, then nodded, and then saw the little Liu Ying.
Fan Kuai's eyes widened angrily, "Shuzi, how dare you scare me?"
Liu Ying chuckled and said, "Uncle, what are you going to put in? Is it poison?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this is the spice for cooking dog meat."
"Since it's spices, why are you sneaking around? You don't mean to do anything wrong?" Liu Ying rushed over and took Fan Kuai's big hand, "Let's go talk to my father!"
Fan Kuai complained repeatedly, misunderstanding!
He could only put the spices in the palm of his hand and introduced to Liu Ying: "Master, please look, this is Zanthoxylum bungeanum, this is Peilan, this is Mao Xiang, and there are also Xinyi, galangal, dried ginger, Duheng, cinnamon... a total of Eighteen kinds of spices are a secret recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. Use this to cook meat, not to mention how fragrant it is. My father told me that it cannot be passed on to others, otherwise the Fan family's rice bowl will be gone. My eldest father also told him..."
Fan Kuai spoke seriously, but Liu Ying was correct and wrote everything down.
"Haha, I see. I will cook meat according to this recipe later."
Fan Kuai suddenly frowned, "You, you little brat, how dare you lie to me about my secret recipe!" He raised his fist as big as a sandbag, ready to fight, but Liu Ying quickly ran away, looking back and laughing proudly at Fan Kuai.
Fan Kuai could only stomp his feet. Who asked him to marry the daughter of the Lu family? Even if Liu Ying went to heaven, he could only pamper her.
Fan Kuai was not of high birth, and although he was brave, he could only serve as a general. But he is loyal and reliable, and you can definitely trust him.
At the Hongmen Banquet, he was the one who saved Liu Bang from getting away, and he could be called the number one bodyguard of the great man.
Historically, when Empress Lu was in power, the Xiongnu Chanyu wrote a letter to humiliate Empress Lu. It was Fan Kuai who, regardless of his age, stepped forward to risk his life against the Xiongnu... In a word, Fan Kuai was worthy of the Liu and Lu families!
In order to entertain Zhang Han and entertain the officials, he cooked the food himself and worked tirelessly.
After working for more than an hour, the banquet was about to begin, and Liu Ying unexpectedly appeared again.
Fan Kuai seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and greeted him warmly. He quickly took out a steaming dog front leg and handed it to Liu Ying.
"Try your uncle's cooking."
Liu Ying was a little surprised and didn't answer. Instead, she asked: "Uncle, aren't you angry with me? I cheated you of the secret recipe handed down from your ancestors!"
Fan Kuai laughed and said, "We are all members of our own family. Don't talk about the two families. Look back. My aunt will teach you how to cook meat. I will make sure that your son is as strong as the two boys in my uncle's family."
With that said, Fan Kuai prepared to deliver meat to Liu Bang.
Liu Ying grabbed the corner of his clothes, took out something from her arms, and gave it to Fan Kuai.
He took it in his hand and it was quite heavy. Fan Kuai lowered his head and saw that it was a big golden bowl.
"Sir, what is this?" Fan Kuai asked in shock.
Liu Ying smiled and said: "I defrauded my uncle of his ancestral job, so I can only give my uncle a golden bowl."
Although Fan Kuai is simple and honest, he is not stupid, otherwise Xiang Yu, who would not be able to resist him at the Hongmen Banquet, was speechless.
As the prince of Han Dynasty, Liu Ying gave him a golden bowl, and his intention was very clear.
The prosperity and wealth of the Fan family for generations rests on this.
"Young Master..." Fan Kuai wanted to say something grateful, but Liu Ying waved her hand hurriedly, "Hide it quickly. I stole it from my father. It won't be good if others see it."
Fan Kuai, who had been extremely moved just now, suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
The young master is really like a father!
Liu Bang held a banquet for civil and military affairs. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a dinner together. It was more disciplined than in Peixian County, but not much.
Seeing that all the talents had arrived and the young and old had gathered together, Liu Bang was in a good mood and couldn't help but talk. He even pulled an old man in front of him, pressed his shoulders, sat down opposite him, and began to receive the baptism of Tumo Xingzi.
The unfortunate victim's name was Zhang Er, one of the eighteen kings conferred by Xiang Yu, King of Changshan.
Unfortunately, before he could take the throne, he was stabbed in the back by his good brother Chen Yu, so he had to flee into Guanzhong and seek refuge with another good brother Liu Bang.
Fortunately, Liu Bang was reliable. He was very kind to Zhang Er and treated him like a distinguished guest.
At today's big banquet, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and others gathered together with Liu Ying, including Zhang Han.
As for Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying, Guan Ying, Fan Kuai, and Zhang Er, they are all in a pile.
Liu Ying's behavior is gentle and polite. On Liu Bang's side, after three bowls of wine, there was a bustling crowd, and the sea and sky were vast, just like two different scenes.
Liu Bang mentioned to Zhang Er the scene of his visit in the early years, and also talked about his idol Xinling Lord. The more he talked about it, the happier he became. Liu Bang even clamored to become Zhang Er's son and daughter.
Liu Ying listened silently, suddenly turned to look at Zhang Liang, and said in a low voice: "Master, I seem to have heard someone say that my father is engaged to someone else?"
Zhang Liang's mouth twitched slightly and he nodded helplessly, "That's what happened."
"Who is that person? It can't be King Changshan, right?"
Zhang Liang shook his head again, "It's Uncle Xiang, Xiang Yu's brother-in-law."
Liu Ying was stunned for a while. No wonder Uncle Xiang risked his life to protect the old gangster at the Hongmen Banquet!
It's just that I clearly agreed to Uncle Xiang, and now I agree to Zhang Er, marrying one woman to two. What the hell are you doing, old gangster?
Liu Ying's eyes widened with anger. He didn't hate seeing his eldest sister getting married, but he couldn't stand being so frivolous and casual. He didn't know it yet. In history, after Liu Bang became emperor, he also planned to let Liu Le marry the Huns. Fortunately, Empress Lu tried her best to stop it, so it didn't happen... By the way, Liu Le had already married Zhang Er's son Zhang Ao at that time. , has a husband.
Liu Bang was full of wine and grabbed Zhang Er's clothes again, "Brother, our two families are getting married. If you don't agree, you just look down on me, Liu Ji!"
How could Zhang Er dare to look down on Liu Bang, but he couldn't just agree to a child's life-long event. What if Liu Bang forgot about it again after he sobered up?
He had learned a lot about Liu Bang's character.
When he was in trouble, Liu Ying suddenly came over.
"Father, when you were young, did you go to visit Father Zhong?" He pointed at Zhang Er and asked, "I wonder what you are doing?"
Hearing his son's question, Liu Bang let go of his ears and smiled: "Ying, you are still young and don't know. King Changshan was Lord Xinling's retainer in his early years, the fourth son of the Warring States period! Lord Xinling stole the talisman back then. Save Zhao, no one in the world knows it! In my early years, my father admired Lord Xinling the most. He valued justice and kept faith, hoeed the strong and supported the weak, was brave and invincible, and acted arbitrarily. He is truly a great husband!"
Liu Ying successfully diverted Liu Bang's attention and stopped him from pestering Zhang Er.
"Father, I heard that there were two strong men who helped Lord Xinling achieve great things?"
Liu Bang nodded. "That's right, these two people are Zhu Hai and Hou Ying. They were originally unknown. They were lucky enough to meet Lord Xinling, so that they could leave their names to future generations and be respected by others. I have a plan. When Xiang Yu is destroyed and the world is peaceful, I will definitely invite someone. Compose poems and sing songs for them, so that the world will know what kind of benevolent and righteous people they are!"
When Liu Bang said this, he suddenly glanced at the civil servants and sighed in disappointment, "Today there is wine and meat, but no songs and no music. I can't enjoy myself to the fullest. It's really a pity!"
Xiao He, Zhang Liang and others were not the kind of literati who could write poems, so they just bowed their heads and remained silent.
Liu Ying rolled her eyes and suddenly said: "Father, I've been thinking about it for a while, but I don't know if it's appropriate or not?"
Liu Bang was surprised and said: "You little brat, when did you know how to compose poetry? Don't worry about whether it's appropriate or not, just say it and listen!"
Instead, Liu Ying shook her head and said, "My father asked me to say that I need to promise me something first."
Liu Bang frowned and said: "You still dare to negotiate terms with me? Forget it, you go ahead and say it, if you make me happy, I will do everything you want!"
Liu Ying nodded, took a deep breath, and read slowly: "Zhao Keman has a tassel, Wu Gou has a clear snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star."
Just these four sentences made Liu Bang's eyes light up. Wu Gou and the white horse rushed towards him. He really looked like a heroic hero of Yan and Zhao!
Liu Bang leaned forward and asked curiously: "Is there more? Where's the next one?"
Liu Ying paused, raised her head and smiled: "Father, are you willing to promise me?"
"Yes, yes! Say it quickly!" Liu Bang said eagerly.
Liu Ying then continued: "Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace for a thousand miles. When it's done, brush off your clothes and hide your body and name."
After four sentences, he shut up again and just looked at Liu Bang anxiously.
