Seeing Xiang Yu speak, Cao Yi swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
The young man named Long You turned around when he heard the sound and looked at Xiang Yu. There was no fear in his eyes.
"I asked you what you were doing?"
Xiang Yu repeated.
Obviously, it's already popular.
Long You held up the pearl in his hand, which was no bigger than a fingernail, and said, "You want to exchange this for the bracelet on his wrist."
Bracelet?
Xiang Yu is a martial arts practitioner and has very good eyesight. He can clearly see the top-quality yellow jade bracelet on Xiao Fei's wrist.
Round and flawless, natural.
Two words of praise appeared in his mind.
In an instant, he realized that this string of beads was very precious and could not be compared to the pearls in Long's right hand.
"You bastard, how can you exchange the pearls in your hands for the treasures in that kid's hands? Why don't you get down and reflect."
Faced with Xiang Yu's scolding, Long You did not flinch and took out a black bead the size of a grape from his arms.
"Is this the head office?"
"East China Sea Black Pearl" Xiang Yu's pupils shrank, and he immediately became furious: "Tell me, where did you steal it from?"
He had a close relationship with Long You's father, Long Qie, and had never heard that Long Qie had such a precious thing.
"Uncle Yu, please don't accuse a good person unjustly. I picked this up accidentally when I was playing at the beach a few days ago."
Young man Long You's face turned red.
He is not only Xiao Fei, who is only five or six years old, he knows how bad stealing can reflect on a person's reputation.
Seeing Long You's reaction, which didn't seem to be fake, Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Even so, others have to be willing to change it or not."
Seeing that Xiang Yu no longer objected, Long You looked at Xiao Fei again.
"Brother, this black pearl from the East China Sea is a rare treasure, no worse than the string of yellow beads in your hand."
"This is what the Taoist priest gave me. I won't exchange it with you."
Xiaofei shook his little head vigorously.
"Who is the Taoist Priest?"
Long You turned his head and looked around.
"It's just a poor thing"
Cao Yi came over and looked at the two children, one large and one small, with very complicated emotions.
I adopted a child named Bai and named him Xiaofei.
In the blink of an eye, a dragon right appeared.
Is it a coincidence?
"You like the bracelet on this little brother's wrist very much. I hope Mr. Wang will make it happen."
The dragon bent to his right and saluted.
Cao Yi was about to speak when he felt a sense of spiritual energy. Different from the cool and thick jadeite before, it is very moist, as if soaked in milk.
What a strange aura, where did it come from? Cao Yi glanced at it and landed on Long You's hand. It came from this black pearl of the East China Sea.
"I hope Mr. Wang will succeed"
Long You said it again.
"OK"
Cao Yi rolled up his sleeves, took off the bracelet from his wrist, and handed it to Long You.
“Thank you sir”
Long You was overjoyed and exchanged hurriedly.
Cao Yi put away the East China Sea Black Pearl and turned back to Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang and Yi Xiaochuan.
"Taoist Priest, how can black pearls be compared to the best yellow jade? It's still a string."
Yi Xiaochuan looked like you had suffered a big loss.
Coming from modern times, he clearly understands the value gap between the two.
"It's not a loss, poor people have a lot of this stuff."
Cao Yi pushed up his sleeves.
There are ten jade bracelets on her fair little arms, black, red, blue, green, and yellow, all of them are of the highest quality.
Yi Xiaochuan was immediately shocked. This was a Taoist priest, and his family owned an jade mine.
Wait a minute, Taoist Priest, are you showing off your wealth?
"Everyone gives you one, just think of it as a meeting gift."
Cao Yi took off the jade bracelet on his small arm, and then the next three.
He still has a lot of raw materials for this thing.
"How does this make"
Xiang Liang waved his hands repeatedly.
He invited Cao Yi to come out and didn't give him any gifts. How could he accept Cao Yi's gifts in return?
"Take it"
Cao Yi forced it on Xiang Liang.
They also gave Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan one string each.
There was a popping sound.
Cao Yi looked back and was happy.
Long You fell to the ground.
noon.
Cao Yi welcomed the first lunch prepared by locals in the Qin Dynasty.
This is an ancient hall that is not very big, and it is very clean.
Sitting north and facing south, there is a smooth red lacquer table across the table, and Xiang Liang is kneeling behind him with a face full of spring breeze.
On the first table on the left, Cao Yi is kneeling, followed by Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan on the second and third tables respectively.
Strong women kept coming in carrying things.
The first thing that caught Cao Yi's eyes was the millet rice served in an obscure bronze vessel. From the perspective of color, flavor and taste, even 10 points was considered too much.
The second one is blanched cabbage. In modern times, only people who want to lose weight eat it.
The third one, stewed dog meat, is so far away that you can smell the aroma. In modern times, it is normal to be criticized by dog lovers. The most famous butcher in history, Fan Kuai, sold dog meat.
The fourth one, stewed mutton, has a faint smell of mutton.
The fifth one was a steaming seabass, which was the best of the meal from a presentation point of view.
The sixth one is drinks.
Looking at food, the aristocrats of the Qin Dynasty were not as good as a modern person with a middle income.
"Is it strange, Taoist Master, that there is no pork?"
Yi Xiaochuan's voice came.
"Not surprisingly"
Cao Yi shook his head.
When he came, he checked the information. Pork, which is commonly eaten by modern people, has a strong smell, so very few people eat it in this era.
There is a passage about Gou Jian in "Guo Yu Yue": "To give birth to a husband, two pots of wine and one dog; to give birth to a woman, two pots of wine and one dolphin."
Translated into modern terms, if you give birth to a son, you will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a dog; if you give birth to a daughter, you will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a pig.
It also reflects the low status of pigs in ancient Chinese food recipes.
"Sir, please"
Xiang Liang's voice sounded.
Cao Yi turned his head and saw Xiang Liang holding the jue filled with wine. He was holding the sleeve with one hand and picking up the jue in front of him with the other. The wine was like water in his mouth.
When Xiang Liang saw Cao Yi drink it all in one gulp, he praised: "This is Liang's treasured wine, which is famous for its strong taste. Sir, he drank it in one gulp without changing his expression. It's really a huge amount."
Known for his fierceness?
Cao Yi put Jue down and licked his tongue, feeling nothing at all.
Turning his head, he saw Xiang Yu with a look of admiration on his face, just like a modern college student who just debuted when he saw his boss downing half a bottle of over 50% liquor in one gulp.
How bad was the drinking capacity of people in the Qin Dynasty?
"Taoist priest, you have a good drinking capacity!"
Yi Xiaochuan stuck out his head, sticking out his tongue, and his cheeks were slightly red.
Could it be that Pindao's drinking capacity is too good?
Cao Yi doubted himself a little.
A strong woman came over with a wine jar in her arms and refilled it.
"Put the wine jar down"
Cao Yi said.
The strong woman was stunned for a moment, put down the wine jar, and stepped aside.
"Yu'er, why don't you give me a toast to Mr."
Xiang Liang's voice came again.
Xiang Yu picked up the jue, knelt down and said, "Yu has a reckless temperament and has offended many people. Please forgive me, sir."
Cao Yi picked up the jue, replied politely, and drank it again.
Xiang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, hesitated for two seconds, drank a glass of wine, and immediately coughed.
Ahem, so it turns out that Chu Bawang’s drinking capacity is so bad?
Xiang Yu's heroic image suddenly collapsed in Cao Yi's heart.
