After a while, everyone arrived at Zhujia Town. He went straight to the outside of Butcher Zheng’s wine shop.
Yang Xi and others were also surprised that the owner of the wine shop actually knew Song Xin. After asking about it, they found out that they had known each other in Bingzhou. When Uncle Zheng saw the guests, he immediately greeted with a smile on his face: "This little brother Song Xin has known me for a long time. Now that I meet an old friend again, I just talk too much and don't entertain you well. Come on, everyone, please come in." The venison that the young master sent yesterday is still simmering in the pot, please wait a moment."
Butcher Zheng smiled and patted Song Xin on the shoulder, lovingly as if looking at his own son, "I didn't expect you to become friends with Young Master Yang."
Song Xin asked softly: "Uncle Zheng, those bandits didn't come to trouble you, did they?"
Uncle Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "They are here to get the Paradise Pill, but this time Mr. Zhu burned the herb field, alas..."
Zhong Yu asked: "Bandits? Are they the bandit commander Feng Bao and those people?"
Uncle Zheng nodded, sighed and said: "Master Zhu said yesterday that he sent them gifts and asked for reconciliation. I don't know what happened now... Hey, forget it, I am an old man, how can I do this in this troubled world?" Living one more day is considered a gift from God. Let’s not talk about this and drink.”
After sitting down, Mr. Yang asked, "Song Xin, have you ever stayed in Bingzhou?"
"Well, when I was living in Bingzhou, I often troubled Uncle Zheng."
At this time, a young man joked: "Old Zheng, why don't you marry your daughter-in-law to Song Xin?"
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.
Uncle Zheng pretended to be serious and said: "That girl of mine is a wild child in the mountains. How can she be worthy of my brother's talent? Old Zheng also knows himself. Don't make fun of me. I'm going to see the meat stew in the kitchen. Okay, everyone, wait a moment."
Mr. Yang said: "It's easy to say, just take whatever you have. You can't skip the wine."
Uncle Zheng agreed and walked into the kitchen to urge him. Song Xin saw that Uncle Zheng didn't seem to know about the lizard catfish, and he didn't know how Liang Xing explained it to them, but Uncle Zheng and the others didn't know better.
Song Xin looked at Mr. Yang and asked, "Brother Yang, I still don't know where I am from? Why is the deputy prime minister so scared when he sees you?"
Mr. Yang smiled and said: "My surname is Yang, my first name is Shen, and my last name is Qin. I am the Yang family of Taishan County, Yanzhou."
Mr. Zhong also cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Zhong, my given name is Yu, and my courtesy name is Uncle Zhi. My father is Zhong Yuanchang, and he has mentioned you before."
When Song Xin heard the names of these two people, his heart trembled. Zhong Yu was the son of Zhong Yao and the elder brother of General Zhong Hui who later sent troops with Deng Ai to destroy the Shu Han. However, Zhong Hui was not yet born at this time.
The background of this Yangqi is not small. This person was born in the Yang family of Taishan County, Yanzhou. His father's name was Yangxu, whose courtesy name was Xingzu. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was worshiped as Taiwei, ranked as the third Duke, and his family was very prominent.
Yang Xi's later wife was the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong. Later, this Cai family gave birth to a son Yang Hu for him. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, there was a confrontation with Dongwu across the river. The friendship between Yang and Lu and the strategy to destroy Wu are both a good story in history. . They also gave birth to a daughter, Yang Huiyu, who later became Sima Shi's wife.
The other young masters who followed were also introduced one by one. Most of them were from Taishan and Dongjun in Yanzhou, and some were from Yingchuan. Song Xin discovered that these people had quite a lot of backgrounds.

Song Xin also came from Juancheng County, East County, Yanzhou, so he was naturally regarded as a fellow villager by the children of Yanzhou.
Yang Di picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and then said: "Actually, I have heard of you before. Yesterday I heard Wei Qian and others calling your name, so I paid attention to it."
Song Xin was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Brother Yang, have you ever heard of my name?"
Yang Di nodded, "Well, I once heard Guo Mu say it."
Song Xin was delighted when she heard that he actually knew Guo Mu, "Ah? Brother Guo, do you know him too? Are you friends?"
Zhong Yu laughed and said: "Haha, we are not friends, and we had some disagreements in the past."
Song Xin was startled, then saw Yang Di also laughing, "Hahaha, we heard someone said that Guo Mu was sworn in with a little brother, and later we heard that that person was close to the Guo family, but we didn't expect it to be you. You don’t have to worry that we will target you because of Guo Mu. Guo Mu and I are just competing and not convinced by each other. His ambition was to make achievements on the battlefield, and now he has achieved his wish and went to Bingzhou to join the army. Can he fight for the country without fear of hardships? Killing enemies is something we admire very much."
Zhong Yu explained: "Yes, in Piyongli, our two groups often argue and fight frequently. But these are all private matters."
After hearing this, Song Xin thought to himself, "So they are also divided into gangs... But these people are still considered gentlemen, and they can distinguish between official and private matters."
After a while, the fragrant venison was served. Everyone moved their index fingers and grabbed a piece of meat to eat regardless of their appearance.
"Huh? Uncle Zheng, today's meat tastes so delicious. What condiments did you use?" Song Xin immediately smelled that the smell of meat was very different from yesterday's.
It seems that flax, pepper, some cumin particles and anise are used here. These things are very common in the future world, but at this time, they are extremely precious spices and are difficult to obtain. That is to say, Bingzhou is often visited by businessmen from the Western Regions. As for the Central Plains area, it is relatively rare and can only be enjoyed by the families of officials.
Yang Xi asked: "Yes, Uncle Zheng, the ingredients for your meat cooking this time are all from the Western Regions, right? It tastes better than before."
Uncle Zheng stretched out his thumb and said: "Master Yanggong, the Central Plains has a good climate and abundant products, but the ingredients are too monotonous. Yesterday, a caravan from Bingzhou happened to come and brought some ingredients from the Western Regions, so I bought them Got some to use.”
Zhong Yu said with a smile: "What a coincidence. No wonder the flavor is very different this time. It's delicious! Although there is no shortage of meat in Piyongli, it is all made with plain water and salt, which makes it smelly when cooked. It's better to have yours."
Song Xin said: "Uncle Zheng, next time a caravan passes by, can you buy some seeds for me?"
Zhong Yu said: "Brother Song, do you want to plant it? I heard that this is not easy. Someone once tried to introduce spices from the Western Regions, but they failed in the end."
"I just want to give it a try. Maybe it will work." Song Xin smiled. He had plenty of space in Shanshui Lingze, and he also had a powerful herbal expert named Song Wu. As long as he is around, nothing will come out.
Uncle Zheng said with regret: "Oh, unfortunately, I have used up all of them. Next time they come again, I will definitely buy some for you." At this time, someone asked to see what these spices looked like, and Uncle Zheng said He turned around and walked into the kitchen and took out a small cloth bag. As soon as you open it on the table, you can smell the aroma.
The gentlemen usually

It’s the days when clothes come with clothes and hands are stretched out. I have never seen these strange spices, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity. Someone even took out a pepper and put it into his mouth to chew, but he was immediately stimulated by the spicy taste and spit it out. It elicited a burst of laughter.
Song Xin found that these spices were all familiar to him, including flax, star anise, cinnamon, cumin seeds, etc., but there was one spice he didn't recognize. This spice was about the size of a longan and had a white shell. He picked it up and shook it. Akira seems to have the sound of seeds inside.
Song Xin was about to tell Yang Xi and others that Zhang Xiuyang was coming too, when suddenly there was a noise of people and horses neighing outside the door.
When Uncle Zheng saw a visitor coming, he quickly said, "Everyone, sit down and I'll go greet you." Song Xin put the spices back without asking any further questions.
At this time, a shout came from outside the door: "What? It's full? Then let them go!"
Song Xin frowned and turned to look out the door. The faces of Yang Xi and Zhong Yu also changed, "Why is he here too?"
At this moment, a burly young man over eight feet tall walked in. His eyes scanned everyone, and finally landed on Yang Di's face, "I said who is so grand and grand? Isn't this Yang Di?"
Yang Di smiled and said, "Whoever I said was so domineering and loud turned out to be Linghu Hua."
Song Xin noticed that there was a faint smell of gunpowder between the two of them, and they actually called each other by their first names instead of addressing each other, which was almost like swearing. He quietly asked Zhong Yu: "Who is this person?"
"This man's surname is Linghu, his single name is Hua, and his given name is Wujiu. His father is Linghu Shao, the governor of Hongnong County. This man has a bad temper. He and Guo Mu often fight with us."
Song Xin nodded secretly. He had heard Guo Mu say that he and Piyong's group of young men went to Hongnong to tease a retired eunuch. Later, the county governor Linghu Shao suppressed the matter, probably because of Linghu Hua's relationship. He also guessed from the conversation that Guo Mu and Yang Xi should be the leaders of two small organizations, similar to small gangs or brotherhoods in later generations.
Back then, Cao Cao and brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also had this kind of small group. A group of young people from prominent family backgrounds, and they are all in the second grade of middle school, often go out to fight. However, the so-called knights of these playboys are not much better than bandits.
"Song Xin, if we can get them together, it will be much more convenient for you in Piyong." Xiaoyu said at this time.
"Well, you and I want to go together." Song Xin thought of this and got up and went outside the wine shop. He saw Linghuhua also brought a dozen people, all dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, domineering and flamboyant.
At this time, Yang Di, the leader, was already confronting Linghu Hua tit for tat.
"Yangqi, are you blocking me here? Why are you afraid that I will go in? I won't steal your meat."
Yangba smiled contemptuously, "Haha, you are right, dogs only steal meat."
Linghu Hua's face darkened, "Haha, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have a bad mouth. I just don't know if my skills have improved."
"Not long after Guo Mugang left, you still haven't restrained your sharpness. I don't want to see who is stronger and who is weaker today. You and Brother Yang have fought against each other. How many times have you won?" Zhong Yu took the opportunity to sarcastically say.
Linghu Hua did not back down and retorted: "Hahaha, when Guo Mu was here, you and Zhong Yu all hid and walked away when we saw you. It's really disgusting! Why did you think you could stand out as soon as he left? ?”
"Haha, Xiaoyu, it seems that the conflict between them is quite deep." Song Xin secretly said to Xiaoyu.
