Lan Tian smiled awkwardly and said, "If the young master hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it..."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Ziyu is also working hard for Lingling. Do you want to go to Chen County with me to celebrate the New Year?"
Lan Tian shook his head, "My wife is also pregnant with Liujia and will give birth in a few months. I can only entrust the eldest son to bring me some gifts."
Liu Qi suddenly understood, nodded and said, "Ziyu is also a blessed person, so I'll leave it to you to take care of Lingling."
"Tian Dingran will try his best and go all out." Lan Tian said with a cupped hand.
Liu Qi went to Chenxian County to celebrate the New Year, while Lantian stayed in Quanling to take charge of the overall situation. Because he usually lived in seclusion, outsiders mistakenly thought that he was withdrawn and unapproachable, so officials of all sizes in Lingling did not dare to come to celebrate the New Year easily.
This was the first time Lan Tian had experienced such a lonely year since arriving in Jingzhou. Fortunately, Deng Fan and Lan Yuan were there to bring joy, and Gao Shun and Gan Ning were his right-hand men, so this family dinner was more interesting.
Lan Tian once again cooked by himself. He first used chicken soup, then added abalone, sea cucumber, pork belly, mushrooms and other items, and simmered it over a slow fire to make Fu Shou Quan for Lu Lingqi.
After Shi'an County was pacified, the society became stable, and fruits, seafood and other goods produced in Jiaozhou entered Lingling County from here.
When the whole Fu Shou dish was served, the aroma overwhelmed the other dishes at the banquet.
Lan Tian filled a bowl for Lu Lingqi, "Xiaojun has a hard time getting pregnant. This food can nourish your body. You will need to drink a few more bowls in a while."
Lu Lingqi's pregnant belly is not suitable for appearing at banquets, but today is basically the Lan family's family banquet, so she still accompanies Lan Tian.
Fu Shou Quan just smelled delicious. Lu Lingqi took a sip and found that it was very delicious, so she asked: "Husband, does this dish have a name?"
"This dish means good luck, good fortune and longevity, so it's called Fu Shou Quan." Lan Tian said with a smile.
"Master, does it taste good...?" Deng Fan sat down and asked curiously.
Lan Tian knew that this boy was also greedy, so he put another bowl in front of him, "If Fan'er wants to drink, come and get it."
Deng Fan scratched his head and found that Gao Shun and Gan Ning were looking at him with smiles, so he walked over with his head lowered. He picked up the bowl and handed it to Lan Tian and said, "Disciple, you don't dare. Please use it first, sir." ..”
Lan Tian nodded, then filled another bowl and said: "Since you respect etiquette, give it to General Gao and General Gan first."
"only."
Deng Fan took two bowls of blessings and longevity and brought them to Gao and Gan's desk. When he returned to Lan Tian, Lan Tian handed him another bowl and said, "The elders are kind to you, take it and drink it."
"Thank you sir."
Lantian would often 'develop' delicacies based on the ingredients. His eyes turned red when he saw Gao Shun drink a bowl of Fu Shouquan.
"What's wrong with you, Boping? Doesn't it suit your taste?" Lan Tian asked puzzledly.
"It's just so delicious, so I'm a little excited." Gao Shun shook his head and said.
Gao Shun was a strict self-discipline and kept his emotions in check, so Lan Tian didn't believe that he would be excited because of delicious food.
This guy was actually moved because most men are fond of the new and dislike the old. Lu Bu is like this, and so is Liu Qi.
Given Lantian's current status, it was normal for him to have several concubines, but Lantian was very affectionate with Lu Lingqi and often cooked to please her. Gao Shun admired this uncle from the bottom of his heart.
Gan Ning had never eaten sea cucumber before. When he picked it up from the bottom of the bowl, he saw that the sea cucumber was black and covered with spines. It also smelled fishy, much like the big caterpillars on the trees in his hometown, so he hesitated to eat it. Lower your mouth.
"Sir, what is this? Can it be eaten?" Gan Ning asked.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "Since it is something in a bowl, of course it can be eaten. General Gan is not afraid of it from birth to death. Is he afraid of eating this thing?"
"I'm just asking..." Gan Ning blushed and took a bite. He found that the taste was chewy and elastic, not like a bug. In short, it had an indescribable taste.
Seeing Gan Ning swallowing it with difficulty, Lan Tian laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, this thing is called sea cucumber. It has the effects of nourishing kidneys and essence, nourishing yin and strengthening yang. It is the ginseng in the sea."
"Oh? It turns out it's something from the sea, so I'll eat more." Gan Ning heard that it was a good thing, and he immediately felt that it tasted good.
Lu Lingqi reminded: "This blessing and longevity are so nourishing. My husband will go to Chen County to cook it for my sister. I don't know how she will recover after giving birth."
"With Zhang Zhongjing here, there should be no problem. Xiaojun will give birth in a few months. Our whole family will go there together at the end of this year." Lan Tian said.
"Yeah." Lu Lingqi nodded.
Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Lantian said to himself that although Jiaozhou was a barbaric land, it was a good place with rich products. Instead of letting Sun Quan occupy it in vain in the future, it would be better to let his brother-in-law take it away in advance, and wait until the world is settled in the future. , we can develop three-season rice in Jiaozhou.
In April of the 13th year of Jian'an, Lu Lingqi gave birth to her second son in Quanling County. This was the time when her old father had a headache again in naming him.
It was the sowing season at this time, and the drizzle outside was accompanied by spring thunder. When Gao Shun learned that Lu Lingqi had given birth, he hurried back from the trapped camp to visit.
Lu Lingqi was tired from giving birth and was resting in the house. Lan Tian took her little son out of the house to get some air and happened to meet Gao Shun.
Gao Shun looked at the guy in Lan Tian's arms and chuckled: "Yuan'er looks like a young lady, but this boy looks more like a gentleman..."
"That's right." Lan Tian responded with a smile.
"Wow wow wow..." The little guy suddenly cried loudly, and the voice was particularly loud.
Lan Tian was very experienced now. He quickly handed his son over to the midwife and sent him inside the house for Lu Lingqi to breastfeed.
"My little master's voice is so loud that it scares away the thunder outside." Gao Shun pointed to the outside of the hall and smiled.
Lan Tianxin said that it seemed true. He walked quickly to the entrance of the temple and saw that the drizzle suddenly stopped, and there was a faint golden light seeping out from behind the clouds in the sky, as if it would clear up in the blink of an eye.
"This is an auspicious sign." Gao Shun followed and said.
Lantian was suddenly inspired, and he said to himself: "Yunpinyuji is named after the character Ji."
"Young Master Ji will never be an ordinary person in the future." Gao Shun said thoughtfully.
At this time, Lantian's literary thoughts surged. He felt that the name should be chosen according to his heart's desire, and he should not spend too much time thinking about it.
Thinking that Lan Yuan was born in Guiyang County and Lan Ji was born in Lingling County, the cousins of the two sons were decided on, Boyang and Zhongling.
The future heirs can also use the birthplace of Uncle and Ji Jia. Thinking of this, Lan Tian's mood is like the weather outside the palace clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.
Because of the presence of the Buddha Liu Qi in Lingling County, Lantian's rice planting technology was directly spread throughout the territory. Many people migrated to Lingling County in Wuling County, Changsha County and Jiaozhou in the south.
In the past year of development, grain output and registered population have increased significantly. In addition, rivers throughout the county have been dredged by Gan Ning, making transportation more convenient.
In addition to training troops in their free time, Gao Shun and Gan Ning have already carried out several actual combat exercises. They can reach anywhere in the county within one day by waterway. This has played a great role in the Yue people in the county who still have ideas. Deterrent effect.
In December, Lan Tian and Liu Qi went to Chenxian County by water to pay New Year greetings. When they were near Leiyang, a speedboat approached from behind. Gao Shun asked people to pick up bows and arrows to be on guard, but found that the person standing on the bow of the boat was Guan Guan. flat.
