Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2411 Everyone eats his own way (plus more)
Fei Qian has always felt that, as a member of the big foodie empire, if he could not activate this gene deposited in the blood earlier, he would feel sorry for so many Chinese dishes in later generations.

Therefore, General Hussars also has a very widely recognized rumor, which is "the reincarnation of gluttony".

After all, there are quite a lot of delicacies handed down from Feiqian.

There are many delicacies in China, and each region has its own style, but this does not prevent these different styles of cuisine from appearing in the same place and being welcomed and loved by the same group of people.

Just like the dishes in Jiangnan and Modu are exquisite, they seem to have a taste of "never tire of eating and eating", with a bit of "willow bank, dawn wind and moon", while Northwest cuisine has another style, The belt noodles are wide and long, not enough to eat two bowls, if there is no chili, nothing tastes good, and if there is no garlic, the nutrition is less than half...

Although it is said that Dahan has not introduced chili peppers from the Americas, it does not hinder people's love and pursuit of food.

For ordinary people, they don’t have time to wait for Pao Ding to make exquisite dishes, and they don’t have much thought to chew and eat slowly. They only need a large amount to fill their stomachs. If there is a spoonful of hot oil, the more salty it is, the better. Well, after all, the sun is strong in the northwest and the climate is dry. Daily work requires a lot of electrolytes to replenish.

For the children of the gentry, it is not the same.They have money and leisure, and they can wait patiently for Pao Ding to slowly cook a time-consuming meal, and they will choose according to their own preferences, not for the purpose of being full.

Chang'an Zuixian Tower.

In the lobby, an inspector led several subordinates, sitting cross-legged or on mats in the corridor, and the few of them just sat around a table to eat and drink.

The first two days were paydays, and he had just received a bounty for the inspection, so he brought his brother to Zuixianlou for a tooth sacrifice.Of course, the cost of the private seats on the second floor is too high, as in such a small courtyard corridor, even if you have face, you won't be able to afford it.

The inspector was originally from the army, and he still retains the habit of eating and drinking in the army. Several of his subordinates are also used to managing in accordance with military regulations. Had a good time!
It is said that Fei Qian also invented Da Pan Chicken, and some people say no, it was Pang Tong who first ate it, but no matter who invented this way of eating, it really suits the taste of Northwesterners.Although there are no condiments such as peppers of later generations, after adding spices from the Western Regions, the relatively ordinary dishes seem to suddenly have a soul and become a very popular delicacy.

Of course, if you want to eat pure meat, the big plate chicken is obviously not as refreshing as grabbing mutton and beef, but the big plate chicken is cheaper than those dishes.

Chicken is obviously much cheaper than lamb and beef.

Think about it, five or six big men, let go of their bellies and eat a meal, and the big plate chicken is obviously more suitable, it is meaty and full.Especially the semi-militarized ones like Xiang Xunjian, Xilihulu eat a meal, as if they are going to do something big with a knife and gun after wiping their mouths, steamed buns, wide soup cakes, and big plate chicken the soup...

Beautiful!
At this time, the feast was half over, and most of the chicken on the plate was eaten up on the table, and there was a piece of bone dregs on the table, and a piece of bone dregs on the table, but the big-bellied men seemed to feel more or less satisfied.

The inspector immediately clapped his hands: "Put on the naan!" 』

When the staff of Zuixianlou heard the greeting, they came over with a basket of freshly baked pancakes and put them on the side of the table.

Why is eating Dapanji at Zuixianlou more practical than ordering other dishes? It’s also here, that is, these steamed buns, wide soup cakes, baked naan, etc. are all included in the price of Dapanji, and that’s enough!
The roasted naan and the large plate chicken are also a perfect match. Breaking the roasted naan and dipping the juice in the large plate chicken will make your stomach round!

After eating the baked naan, the inspector felt a little emotional. He held a piece of baked naan for a long time, but he didn't eat or speak for a long time.

Baked naan was not invented by Feiqian.

This thing has been around for a while, and it is called Hubing. Even Emperor Ling of Han liked to eat it very much, and he would eat it once every three days.

Of course, the naan in the Han Dynasty did not have as many tricks as in later generations.At first, this kind of naan was stored as dry food for the military. There was no way. Water sources are also relatively scarce, and some places do not have the conditions for cooking, so they can only eat dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, you must carry dry food with you when you send troops, otherwise life and death will be in the blink of an eye.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guangli was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to march westward with [-] cavalry and tens of thousands of vicious young men from counties and counties.Only when the Han army captured the city could they get food supplements. If they failed to capture the city, they had to leave within a few days, otherwise they would die.

In this way, they were lost all the way to the west of Congling. Before the capital of Dawan was seen, the Han army had lost its combat effectiveness, and only a few thousand people followed, starving.Of course, Li Guangli was also cowardly. Without Huo Qubing's desperate courage, he took a tour around the gate of Dawan and returned empty-handed.

Later, I learned a little better, and added a little logistics to the technology tree.

After a year of preparation, the Han Dynasty devoted all its power to the development of the Hexi Corridor and road construction with 180,000 soldiers. The Yumen Pass was also moved to the west of Dunhuang. The newly recruited army drove 30,000 cattle, more than [-] horses, and countless others. The donkeys, camels and other things, carrying rice and grain, followed Li Guangli on the expedition, buried the cauldron to cook food all the way, and ate the livestock after eating the rice grain.Seeing the strength of the Han army, most of the states in the Western Regions opened their cities to greet them, except for Luntai resistance, which had not been thought of clearly, and the Han army arrived in Dawan smoothly.

But embarrassingly, a little logistics is still not enough.

When the war ended a year later, there was another food problem on the return trip.The countries in the Western Regions were short of people and food, and it was difficult to supply the Han army, so Li Guangli had to divide the army into several waves and return home from the northern and southern routes of the Western Regions.However, due to the serious corruption of officials, many people died.

Many soldiers of the Han family did not die in battle, but died of thirst and starvation on the way...

The reason for this is that the dry food in the Han Dynasty at that time was mainly embarrassing rice, that is, cooked and sun-dried corn.This thing has a huge disadvantage, that is, it is not edible.In addition, there was not enough fat in the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers who consumed a lot of physical strength had to eat at least one stone a month. It seems a bit exaggerated to say, but in fact this is just an ordinary meal.

Later, after learning from the painful experience, Hu Bing, also known as roasted naan, replaced embarrassment and became the first choice of dry food for the big man at that time.And under such a choice and change, countless lives are paid.

One of the inspectors, who was immersed in eating, saw that the team leader was in a daze, and was a little puzzled, "Brother Wang!What's wrong with you?Stop eating? 』

"what?Haha..." Wang Dui waved the baked naan in his hand twice, "Hey, tell me, isn't this guy cheap... I was a soldier in the North, and sometimes I had no place to cook, so I just ate it. I ate this thing for more than a month at most!Moldy, hairy, scratched, baked, or eaten!Didn’t the hussars have new dry rations later on? I swore that I would never touch this thing again...haha, but it’s back, it’s good now, if I can’t eat this for three or five days, it’s weird... Hahaha……"

"Speaking of which, I am too!Let me tell you... the water in the cowhide bag, in order not to stink so easily, you have to throw some vinegar cloth in it... When I was in the army, I was really annoyed by this vinegar cloth... ...hey, not in the military now, hey, guess what?I saw it being sold at the market two days ago, and I didn’t know what was wrong, so I went to buy a piece and threw it in a water tank, drank it...then I was scolded by the guy at home...』

"Ahahahaha..."

"No wonder you had color on your face two days ago..."

A group of men gathered together, laughing loudly.

After laughing, it seems that each has some nostalgia.

"Okay, eat quickly, work after eating!" 』

Captain Wang grabbed another baked naan, broke it apart, took half of it himself, and distributed the other half to the people around him, just like when he was still in the army, eating with a group of people...

Perhaps it was because Wang Dui led the others to speak and laugh too much, which attracted the eyes of the other two people in the drunken fairy building.

In this gaze, there is scrutiny, impatience, sarcasm, and even a kind of condescension.It's like looking down at a gathering of ants, a bunch of caterpillars.

Above the second floor of Zuixian Tower, there are private seats separated by screens, and the consumption is expensive.

Those who can come to eat often without feeling heartache are naturally the children of noble families with certain financial resources, and ordinary poor families may also be able to, but they will never say that they come to eat every now and then, or directly use Zuixianlou as their own restaurant. up.

Then a question arose, which kind of nobleman's children would regard Zuixianlou as their own restaurant?
The two scholars on the second floor were still talking to the inspectors in the corridor downstairs, whispering something.

The view from the second floor will be better.

From this angle, you can see Chang'an Avenue, the end of the street.

Moreover, Zuixian Tower was noisy, and the two of them sat together, speaking in a low voice, basically not afraid of being eavesdropped by others.

Among the crowds on the street, there are inspectors on horseback, wearing red and black armor, with three-color recognition flags on their backs. They line up to inspect every move on the street, as if reminding passers-by that this is Chang'an. This is the territory of hussars...

The two looked back.

"When I first heard about the inspection in Guanzhong, I underestimated it and didn't take it seriously..." One of the middle-aged men with a three-wisp beard said, "Now that I think about it, I know the magic of Huqi's move..."

The young man on the opposite side also nodded and said: "That's true. Before Chang'an in the future, I thought that this kind of inspection was just Si Kou changing his name... But looking at it now, it's not the case..."

The inspection system is an original policy under the rule of hussars.

At the beginning, it didn't get any special attention.

Patrol inspection has the function of a commander, but it cannot simply be equal to a commander.

Strictly speaking, there was no special police system in ancient China. In localities, there was no distinction between administration and judiciary. There are personnel with functions similar to modern police, such as patrolling and arresting, who are responsible for maintaining law and order at the front line of society and arresting criminals.

In the pre-Qin period, the central judicial organ was Tingwei Mansion, and the highest judicial official was Tingwei.Qin's place is a county system, and the local judicial organs are concurrently held by the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Difficult cases are reported to the central government, and ordinary cases are handled by themselves.

Liu Bang, who founded the country in the Han Dynasty, was probably equivalent to the police station plus post office plus tax office in later generations. In general, he had such a position, but he did not have as many people as later generations, only two or three subordinates.

The Han Dynasty basically inherited the system of the Qin Dynasty, including the judicial system, so it can be seen that before Feiqian, there was a lack of social security and judicial trials at the grassroots level. Even though the population of the Han Dynasty was far lower than that of later generations, the society The breadth and depth of coverage of public security and judicial trials are still pitifully small.

But there must be disputes between people. Under such conditions, there is a foundation for the survival of the clan law, and now under the hussars, the foundation of the clan law is being weakened and shaken...

"The first inspection was when the farm was being farmed..." The middle-aged man said slowly, "The people who farm the farm are either trapped by thieves or the end of life. They live in the countryside and often live in filth. Yu Qianmo...」

At the beginning, Fei Qian introduced the inspection system, and these gentry and squires thought it was good, because they might have been needed to mediate disputes, and they were not required to deal with disputes, so they could have more free time to drink, dance and have fun, and then I found that things gradually went wrong.

"Who would have thought that the current inspection..." The young man interjected, "The hussar's strategy...is simply..."

Now within the Sanfu of Chang'an, there are other hussars under the rule, who are used to the existence of inspections, and they can go to the inspections to solve problems when they encounter problems, so who will go to any clans or squires?
In a certain way, the so-called nostalgia and aspirations are harmful to a certain extent. For example, in later generations, the whole village's "foreign daughter-in-law", or the whole village's "processing factory", are in fact "everyone is a neighbor" ". Under the guise of "everyone is a fellow countryman", they were either actively or passively kneaded together, even though these people knew that what they were doing was not a good thing.

"Two guests!Chumi Duck is here...』

The work of Zuixianlou interrupted the low-pitched discussion between the two.

The so-called "chumi duck" is a new delicacy that appeared in Zuixianlou some time ago.

Different from those dishes that tend to be Northwestern or Qianghu customs, the cooking method and material selection of "Chumi Duck" are more inclined to the Chu area.Corn and wheat are mostly used in the north, while rice is used in the south. Chumi is obviously cooked with rice and glutinous rice.

The two were overjoyed, so they met and raised their chopsticks to eat.

Although it is said that food has no borders, if you stay in one place for a long time, you will be biased towards a certain place, just like boiled fish was once popular all over the country, but after a long time, after the heat subsides, it is not a human being. Everyone liked it.

After all, eating habits in different places are still different.

Apparently, the two of them were very fond of Chumi Duck. They just focused on eating for a while and didn't speak for a long time. After eating some, they slowed down a little.

"Now...the location of Qinglong Temple..." The middle-aged man took a drink from the side and took a sip, "It's a little troublesome... When everyone is more important than the scriptures, what about Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu..."

The young man also stopped his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "I thought you were Zhengping..."

"..." The middle-aged man shook his head, then sighed, "Have you gained anything in the Xuanwu Pond...?" 』

"This..." The young man hesitated for a moment, and said, "The surrounding area is tightly controlled, and it is difficult to enter... However, someone found some ways..."

"The door..." The middle-aged man pondered for a moment.

The work of Qinglong Temple was not done well, and it turned out that a new warship appeared under the rule of General Hussar!
According to the description of the officials who went to Xuanwu Pool to watch the ceremony at that time, the new warships under the hussars were not only large, but also had strange sails and strange equipment. , It simply broke through the original confinement, bringing the battleship to a whole new level!

At the beginning, after hearing the news, of course, I was skeptical, and even felt that it was hypocritical and not necessarily true, but after contacting some different officials intentionally or unintentionally, different people came to a similarity. conclusion...

General Hussars has a new type of warship far surpassing Jiangdong's level in Xuanwu Pond!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
This matter is obviously more important than what disturbs the discussion in Guanzhong, or causes any disputes.But the problem is that although the Xuanwu Pool is big, the surrounding area is under supervision. Anyone who appears there without reason will be warned and expelled. If they don't listen to dissuasion, they will be shot and killed on the spot!

It is obviously impossible to go directly to the scene to see it.

In the past, some people used various excuses and pretended to inquire about some important workshops under Fei Qian's command.

Just like the gunpowder under the hussars, some true and false news flowed out, but what followed were inspections and soldiers who smelled the smell, and some people were even arrested because of this and put into In the great prison, finally...

But if you don't know it right now, it's fine if you haven't heard about it. Now that you've heard about it, you can't pretend you didn't discover anything, and then don't do anything.

"It's better to have blueprints..." The middle-aged man whispered, "It's useless to only know the shape but not the reason..."

Generally speaking, there are two ways to steal technology. One is to obtain design drawings or specific objects, and the other is to kidnap or bribe the responsible craftsman.Obviously, for things like new-style buildings and boats, it is difficult to find out the specific objects, and the only possible way is to bribe the craftsmen, and it is best to get blueprints.

The middle-aged man said, "If you can get a picture, you should spare no money...but you need to be careful..."

　Happy Year of the Tiger!
　　I wish all book friends good health and happiness!
