After the meeting at the prefect's manor was dismissed, I returned to my own home. I saw the cat in the study waiting for me at the door. When it saw me coming back, it pounced on me. "Cat, I missed you so much." Kitten hugged me. "I missed you too." I nodded. We returned to our room together. After entering the room, I smiled at the kitten and said,"Guess what gift I brought you?”
"I don't know. I won't guess. Tell me." Xiao Mao said coquettishly. I took out the jade hairpin that I had already bought and inserted it into the kitten's head. "Do you like it?" I asked gently. "I like it. I like everything Big Cat buys.”Xiao Mao nodded.
"It's almost the new year. I really miss our life in Shanghai. Do you want to?" I lowered my head and asked. "I do, but I won't have the chance anymore. Let's just live here peacefully and happily for the rest of our lives. Cat, don't leave me again. Don't go out to fight anymore. Isn't it good to be like this?”Kitten nodded.
"No, this is a chaotic world. If he couldn't move forward bravely, he would have the chance to be killed. Don't forget the city we're in now. In the future, it will be Sun Ce's city. If he attacks, we will all be killed. In this chaotic world, only the strong could survive.”I shook my head. "Then you have to accompany me more. Cats!" The cat snorted and pouted.
"Don't worry, I'll come and accompany you as soon as I'm free. Oh right, I have a mission for you this time.”I nodded. "What mission? I'm not familiar with the Three Kingdoms at all. Don't expect me to help you." Kitten nodded excitedly and then asked with some doubt.
"Don't think too much. I'm going to hold a lantern festival and ask you to help me make a batch of lanterns. I want you to come up with a riddle and paste it on the base of the lantern so that the people can guess.”I said with a smile.
"Sure, I was just feeling bored. However, how many lanterns did he need to make? I might not be able to do it alone.”Xiao Mao said happily. "Don't worry, I'll deploy twenty soldiers tomorrow to await your orders. As for the rest of the materials, you can ask Fan Da for them. I'll arrange it for him tomorrow." After I finished speaking, I leaned against the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, I came to the prefect's manor. I order Dian Wei to select twenty smart soldiers from the guards and order them to serve my sister from today onwards. I also ordered Fan Da to prepare all the materials.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the guard report that there were two people at the door asking to see him. I asked them to bring it up. Soon, I saw an old man and a young man walking into the hall. When I saw that it was Zheng Hun and his son, I immediately went forward to welcome them.
"I arrived at Jian An City more than ten days ago. When I asked to see you, the guard at your door said that you had gone to the capital. I saw the study yesterday and heard that you were back. So I came to visit you today. I wonder when we'll do what we talked about last time?”Zheng Hun asked.
"Don't worry, sir. I'll arrange a shop for you first. I'll provide everything, and you can still open your weapon shop. After the new year, I will draw you a detailed sketch of the scimitar. Build it according to the sketch and show it to me after you succeed. Then, I'll tell you what to do next. At other times, you can open as usual." After I finished speaking, I said to Fan Er,"Take these two gentlemen to Military Advisor Xun Yu and arrange the best shop for them. Tell him that all the facilities they need will be paid for by the city."”After sending them off, I suddenly remembered that it was already time for the appointment in Zhang An County. I immediately ordered someone to call Xu You.
After a while, Xu You arrived. "Xu Ziyuan, I have an important task for you. Today, change into casual clothes and bring ten soldiers to Zhang An County to find an old man. The old man opened a teahouse. There was only one teahouse there. Then, you said that you were here to make custom-made clothes. Bring a military uniform as a sample and ask them how much they can make it. Remember to make sure they do the labor and materials. Make them at 80% of the price of the military uniforms we normally purchase. Don't make too many for now. We'll see the quality of 500 pieces in the first month.”I said in one breath.
"Isn't this asking me to be a businessman?”Xu You asked in surprise. "No, I want you to be in charge of purchasing all the military uniforms and reducing the expenses of our military uniforms.”I said in a heavy tone.
Xu You accepted the order and left. As I watched him walk away, I couldn't help but think, Although Xu You was smart, he liked to be grandiose and arrogant. If it wasn't for the fact that more and more people would seek refuge with me in the future, I definitely wouldn't want such a person. Giving him this job now was a good opportunity to kill him. It depended on his choice.
Then, I said to Fan San,"There's a more difficult mission. I should have sent an adult to do it." However, you guys have always been by my side, so you should know that I have no one to send now. Do you have the confidence to do this?”"I will do my best to serve you.”Fan San nodded and said.
"Good! Go and buy some expensive gifts and divide them into two portions. Send one to my teacher, Kong Rong, in Beihai. Send the other to a family named Taishi Ci in Donglai County near Beihai. Also, prepare more winter clothes and food for Taishi Ci's family when you reach Beihai. I'll give you two more copies of the book and bring them with you. This trip would take about 20 days, and they could still make it to the Lantern Festival. It'll delay your New Year. Are you willing to go?”I asked. I see the study
"Don't worry, Military Advisor. These two things are not difficult at all. I will definitely do it.”Fan San nodded and said. After finishing these few things, it was already past mealtime. I decided to go out and eat alone.
I walked alone on the street and was recognized by the pedestrians not long after. Then, a large group of people surrounded me. "Thank you, Commander He, for lending us the seeds!”"Thank you, Commander He, for renting me a house!”"Military Master He, I will definitely make the best lantern and hang it in front of my house.”"Military Master He, come to my house for the New Year this year.”。。。。。。
I greeted everyone one by one, then said that I had something to do and squeezed through the crowd. He continued walking around the city. Although the population in the city had increased by a lot, there were still very few shops. There are only two or three inns. Many things are sold by itinerant merchants. No one has the intention of staying here for long.
At this moment, I saw a face shield by the roadside. I walked over and ordered a bowl of noodles. After taking a bite, it was really unpalatable. I raised my head and asked,"Old man, how did you make this noodles?" Why not open a shop in the city?
"What else can I do? I'll just put the noodles in the water and fish them out after they're boiled. With soup made with onions, garlic, and salt, how could a small business have the money to open a noodle shop? Although the He Army of Jian 'an protected the people and developed agriculture, the He Army of Jian' an did not dare to do anything. However, businesses were still levied taxes according to the ancestral system of the imperial court. It's already good enough that our small business can make a living.”The old man shook his head.
"Old Sir, you are wrong. He Junshi also has his own difficulties.”I raised my eyebrows. "How can that be? He was the prefect. Recently, he heard that he had been promoted to Wuyue Prefecture Overseer. It was not easy to change the law.”The old man said unwillingly.
"Old Sir, I heard that General He once wanted to reduce the taxes of merchants, but the Imperial Court requires the various prefectures to pay a large amount of tax money every year. The imperial court was not only strangling the people, but also the officials.”I said to the old man in a daze.
"That's not easy. I came from Jing state. Every year, when the tribute is paid, the prefect of our place will say that the bandits nearby have stolen a large amount of taxes. Only a small part of the tribute was paid, and then the court was asked to send troops to attack.”The old man pursed his lips and said to me.
"Hahaha, old man, your method is really interesting.”I took out a large coin and threw it on the table before turning around to leave. When I got home, I called the cat's name and went into my room. Seeing that no one was around, she called He Fu over and asked,"Where's Miss?" "Young Master, Young Miss went out with a group of soldiers to make lanterns.”He Fu reported. "Oh, inform the kitchen. I'll go over later.”I nodded and said to He Fu.
After a while, I came to the kitchen. There were a few chefs in clean clothes. When they saw me, they said in unison,"Hello, Young Master!"”"Alright, wait outside now. I have something to do." I said to them in a clear voice. The few of them went out, and one of them said,"That's the young master. This is the first time I've seen him. You really don't have any airs at all."。。。。。
I took a few pieces of pork ribs from the kitchen and found one with more bones. He used a knife to cut it into small pieces and placed it in a small pot. He put some water in the pot to cover the small ribs inside. Seeing that there was still a fire on the stove, he placed the pot on the stove. I squatted down and added a few pieces of firewood. The fire was getting bigger. Then, he looked at the seasoning beside him. There was salt, cane sugar, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, and pork fat.
After a while, the water in the pot boiled. I picked up two rags and put the pot on the fire. He picked out all the small ribs with his chopsticks. Then, he placed an iron pot on the fire and put a piece of pork fat. Once the oil was boiled, he stir-fried the small amount of oil. He put a bowl of rice vinegar, half a spoonful of soy sauce, and a little sugar into the pot. After stir-frying a few times, he waited for a while without covering the lid.
Then, he continued to stir-fry until the vinegar, soy sauce, and pork fat inside slowly condensed into a thick sauce. I took out a plate and scooped out the small ribs. Then, I scooped out a portion of the juice from the pot and poured it on the small ribs. He called the chefs in. Not only did they come in, even He Fu came in.
I let them each try a piece, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't dare. I looked up at He Fu and said,"He Fu, you should know my temper during the war. Tell them to taste it immediately." I won't repeat myself." He Fu turned around and said,"Young Master, you're famous for being a man of your word on the battlefield.”After saying that, he went forward to taste a piece first, and the others also tasted a piece.
"Wow, no wonder Young Master heard that you're going to personally cook on New Year's Eve and invite your subordinates to dinner. It's really delicious." He Fuzan said. The others nodded in praise. I asked He Fu to come to my room and bring over the chili peppers I bought before. Then, he made chopped pepper fish head, braised pork ribs, Gong Baoji diced meat, boiled beef, salt and pepper ribs, and green onion soup. Then, he asked them to bring it to the hall.
He sent for Xun Yu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Chen Gong, Xin Ping, his father, and Xiao Mao. After everyone sat down, I raised my glass and said,"I invited everyone here to let you try it first. I'll make these dishes on New Year's Eve.”After everyone drank the wine, they began to eat together. "Qi 'er, I'm afraid your cooking skills have already surpassed the imperial chefs in the palace.”His father was the first to praise him. "Brother Qi, today I finally know what the world's delicacies are.”Xun Yu also praised. "Advisor Jun, why didn't you let me have a taste of your cooking earlier? I've decided to be the military advisor's personal guard in the future so that I can eat this delicacy every day.”Dian Wei said with a laugh. The others also praised him.
"I'll open an Immortal Tavern in Jian An City. I'll teach the chef how to cook." At that time, everyone must come and support us." Everyone agreed loudly. After eating and drinking to their hearts 'content, everyone left in satisfaction. When I returned to my room, the kitten pounced on me and said,"I like your cooking the most. Big Cat is the best.”"That's good. This is a reward for helping me out today.”I nodded and said to Kitten. Then, we made love in bed for a while and fell asleep.
I recommend a few of my friends 'masterpieces!
