Sending Off the Silent Envoy Anxi
Of course, other than cigarettes, there was another thing that was very popular, and that was cooking.
The food in the Tang Dynasty was either steamed or boiled. Even the vegetables were thrown into the pot to be boiled into soup. Therefore, Qin Mo's stir-fried vegetables were very popular as soon as they came out. They were popular all over Chang 'an. The Tang Dynasty country bumpkins who had never eaten stir-fried vegetables were immediately shocked.
Li Er and the other high-ranking officials of the Tang Empire liked it so much that it quickly became popular among the dignitaries in Chang 'an and then spread to the ordinary people. As a result, the value of pigs, which were previously disdained by the dignitaries, had soared. Moreover, pigs were often difficult to find.
As a dignitary, it would be a joke if he didn't even cook when entertaining guests.
Cooking required an iron pot, so Zhangsun Wuji, this sly old man, almost sold out all the iron in his house. He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha all day long.
Qin Mo, Li Chengqian, and the others were squatting in the courtyard and smoking. This scene was so beautiful that Old Qin did not dare to come and see it.
Old Qin felt that this scene was a little inappropriate, but he couldn't say why.
Of course, Qin Mo wouldn't tell him that children couldn't smoke.
Li Chengqian puffed out smoke with an intoxicated expression, as if he was enjoying it very much." By the way, Lizhi and Li Jing asked me to bring two cigarettes back for them. They want to try it too."”
Hearing this, Qin Mo's expression froze.
Li Lizhi was only seven years old. Li Jing, the future princess of Qinghe, the little loli who insisted on asking him for milk candy in the directorate, was only three years old this year.
Thinking of the two lolis smoking, Qin Mo felt that the scene was too beautiful. He did not dare to imagine it.
In the future, women who smoked would be treated as delinquents. If Li Lizhi and Li Jing also learned to smoke, it would probably become popular among the women of the Tang Empire. Thinking of such a terrifying scene, Qin Mo immediately refused," No, smoking will affect a woman's development. She won't be able to give birth in the future."”
He could only try his best to exaggerate the terrible consequences. After all, no one knew what cigarettes were. He could say whatever he wanted.
Li Chengqian and the others, who were breathing smoke, were shocked when they heard this." Smoking will make you unable to have children in the future?”
In ancient times, it was a deep-rooted thing to carry on the family line, so they each held a cigarette and did not dare to smoke.
Qin Mo waved his hand and said," It's fine. This cigarette belongs to the Yang attribute while a woman belongs to the Yin attribute. If there's a conflict, it won't affect a man if he smokes. How can we show our masculinity if we don't smoke?"”
He was lying with his eyes open, but Li Chengqian and the others believed him, so they were very happy again.
"It's a pity that Li Zhi and the others are not blessed enough to enjoy it.”Li Chengqian said regretfully.
Qin Mo said," It's fine. Bring some milk candies back for them later."”
Girls should eat sweet food. It was not good to imitate smoking.
Li Chengqian nodded and said," Other than coming here to smoke today, there is another important matter. It is to send Cheng Chumo on his way.”
Qin Mo broke out in a cold sweat. Send Cheng Chumo on his way? Why did he sound like Cheng Chumo was going to die?
Cheng Chumo said," I will follow my lord to Longyou to train in three days. I can't play with you guys."”
In the Tang Dynasty, Daren was a form of address for one's father.
Qin Mo said," Since that's the case, let's gather at Qin Manor today. I'll cook some of my signature dishes to entertain everyone.”
However, Zhangsun Chong said," We agreed that I would be the host today. I have stir-fried vegetables at home too."”
This fellow was somewhat hostile towards Qin Mo because Li Lizhi was too close to Qin Mo and often mentioned him. Hence, Zhangsun Chong was very jealous.
Cheng Chubi curled his lips and said," Your family learned how to cook from my brother."”
Zhangsun Chong said," I've also prepared some top-quality Sanle pulp.”
So the three brothers of the Cheng family, who had been drunkards since they were young, were very tempted. Cheng Chubi said," Did your cow commit suicide?”
In order not to admit defeat, Zhangsun Chong said," My cow committed suicide today.”
Qin Mo was already a grown man, so he naturally wouldn't stoop to the level of a little brat. Hence, everyone went to Zhangsun Chong's villa to hold a banquet.
As for why he didn't go to Duke Zhao's residence, it was because the old sly fellow was at home, and Zhangsun Chong couldn't do as he pleased.
Cook cattle and slaughter sheep for fun, and drink 300 cups at a time.
He killed cows, sheep, pigs, and drank wine.
These kids were reluctant to let Cheng Chumo go to the army because he was a kid.
Cheng Chuliang said," After Big Brother left, no one brought us to Pingkang Lane to have fun.”
What kind of place was Pingkang Lane?
It was a place of debauchery, or simply, a brothel.
Was it really good for him to learn to go whoring at such a young age?
However, the people of the Great Tang expressed that this was normal.
"Little Chong, you haven't been there before, right?”
Cheng Chumo laughed out loud under the influence of alcohol, making Zhangsun Chong blush.
"Why not?"
Zhangsun Chong was only a nine-year-old kid. How could he be provoked? He immediately said," Why wouldn't I dare?”
"What about you guys?"
Cheng Chumo said.
In order to show their heroic spirit, Li Chengqian and Li Tai naturally could not back down.
Hence, everyone decided to go whoring after dinner. Uh, no, they would go take a look and understand the people's feelings.
Other than Cheng Chumo, the others were all undeveloped children. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't do anything.
If Li Er found out that he had brought the Crown Prince to a prostitute, he would probably be hung up and beaten up, Qin Mo thought to himself.
However, it was Cheng Chumo who was courting death. Moreover, he had thick skin and would not die from a beating.
There was no doubt that Li Er would definitely know. Those guards would definitely report to Li Er.
However, Qin Mo really wanted to go to the brothel to take a look.
"Qin Dalang, you are known as the Immortal Poet. Can you write a poem for Brother Chumo?”Zhangsun Chong was indeed the son of a cunning old man. He was simply a cunning little man. The ancients liked to show off when they wrote farewell poems, but Zhangsun Chong was completely unconvinced by Qin Mo's nickname of the Immortal Poet.
However, composing poems was not a problem for Qin Mo.
Li Chengqian said," That's right. It's such a pity to have wine without poetry.”
Qin Mo said," Alright. Since that's the case, I'll write a poem for Chumo.
"Send off the silent envoy to Anxi"
The morning rain in the capital is light and dusty, and the green willows in the guest house are new.
I advise you to drink another cup of wine, and go west to Yangguan without an old friend.”
This was Wang Wei's " Farewell to the Second Envoy of the Yuan Dynasty to Anxi." Qin Mo had changed the title and changed the City of Wei to the capital. This poem did not portray the scene of the banquet, nor did it directly express the feelings of parting. Instead, it used the banquet to end and the parting to persuade people to drink, expressing their nostalgia, concern, and blessings for their friends.
This was the same place that Cheng Chumo had gone to, and it was also Qin Mo's blessing to him. Of course, it wasn't some military danger where Old Cheng would protect him. He wouldn't be in any danger, at most he would suffer a bit.
Qin Mo wished that he wouldn't be hung up and beaten up by Old Cheng because he had brought the Crown Prince to a brothel.
If Cheng Chumo knew what he was thinking, he would definitely call Qin Mo a bad friend.
"Good poem! Good poem!"
Li Chengqian and the others all agreed. Zhangsun Chong had no choice but to submit.
"This little brother will toast big brother. Everything is going well.”Qin Mo raised his cup.
"Good brother!"
Cheng Chumo was very happy.
