When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Chapter 317 The most delicious food

Fan Kuai's cooking skills were indeed unique, and he was worthy of being a person who could leave his name in history books for his cooking skills. Although it could not be compared with the exquisite daily diet in the Qi Palace, it was not inferior in taste. Besides, Yang Chong himself was not a refined person. For him, as long as there was meat, it was enough, because the dog meat stewed by Fan Kuai was just what Yang Chong liked.

Fan Kuai stewed a pot of dog meat, enough for ten kilograms. He thought he could eat it for two or three meals, and there would be some left over even if he entertained Yang Chong and his wife. Therefore, he did not go to the table. However, he never thought that he would see such a scene. In front of Fan Kuai, a large pot of dog meat was quickly disappearing between Yang Chong's lips and teeth. The speed of its disappearance made him feel terrified.

Fan Kuai thought that he was a good eater. If he was in the mood, he could easily eat three or four pounds of meat in one meal. But compared with Yang Chong, he was nothing. Compared with Yang Chong, Fan Kuai felt like a child.

In a blink of an eye, Yang Chong had eaten most of the large bowl of dog meat. Fan Kuai even suspected that if Yang Chong had not left some for Xue Nu, there would probably be no dog meat left in the bowl.

Fan Kuai watched helplessly as he had stewed dog meat for the whole morning, but only smelled the scent. He felt heartbroken and even more stomach-aching. He had been busy for the whole morning, but had not eaten a single bite. Now he only smelled the scent.

Although he was not a stingy person, he still felt distressed when he watched Yang Chong eat up all the dog meat.

"Have you eaten enough, sir?" Fan Kuai asked Yang Chong with a heartache. Yang Chong was Liu Ji's guest, so he was his guest. Although he felt distressed, he would not neglect Liu Ji and his guests.

"That's about it. For something like meat, eating until you are 70% full is enough. Eating too much is not good for you." Yang Chong said with a lingering feeling.

What? 70% full! Fan Kuai could no longer maintain his last bit of composure. Of the 10 kilograms of meat, at least 9.5 kilograms had gone into Yang Chong's stomach, and Yang Chong said he was only 70% full. Is this true? If Yang Chong was completely full, wouldn't he have to eat another 4 or 5 kilograms? Could one person really eat so much?

It is said that when Lian Po was old, he could still eat ten catties of meat and one dou of rice. Fan Kuai had also heard about what happened in the State of Chu. But now it seems that Yang Chong is probably no less than Lian Po. But who is Lian Po? Lian Po is a famous general, a real tough guy.

But who is Yang Chong? A wanderer? Although the Snow Girl beside Yang Chong is really too beautiful, and women are the most important thing for men, Fan Kuai still doesn't think Yang Chong can compare with Lian Po in the past. After all, Yang Chong is Liu Ji's friend. Although Liu Ji is the best among the people in Pei County, that's all. Although people who make friends with Liu Ji are powerful, there is a limit after all, right?

So after thinking about it, Fan Kuai just felt that Yang Chong was bragging. Of course, as a friend of a friend, there was a layer of distance between him and Yang Chong after all, so Fan Kuai was embarrassed to expose Yang Chong's bragging.

He looks very rough, but in fact he is a man with a rough mind. After all, in another time and space, he was able to accompany Liu Ji to Xiang Yu's Hongmen Banquet. If it was just about bravery, could he be braver than Xiang Yu? He was a man who was crowned as the 52nd of all time.

You should know that since Xiang Yu's death, Xiang Yu is no longer a noun, but an adjective.

"That's good. If I don't entertain you well, Liu Ji will not forgive me." Fan Kuai, who thought he should see through the situation but not say it, said meaningfully.

It has to be said that there is a reason why these people in Pei County will be able to secure a place for themselves in history books in the future.

After eating and drinking, Yang Chong and Xue Nu settled down directly under the arrangement of Fan Kuai. The journey to Daze Mountain was naturally arranged by Liu Ji.

Liu Ji, although his background restricted him from learning too many martial arts and limited his ability to master more advanced martial arts, Liu Ji was still a remarkable man. He had done his best with the resources he could control.

A young man from the lower class could become the steward of a farming family. Such a story is inspiring enough no matter where it is placed, and Yang Chong also knows that Liu Ji will be even more inspiring in the future.

Of course, in this world that has been changed by Yang Chong, it is hard to say whether Liu Ji can still create his own legend. After all, no matter how capable a person is, he needs to take advantage of the situation. If the situation does not allow it, even Liu Ji can only be Liu San in Pei County.

Of course, Liu Ji is still Liu San now, but with Yang Chong's intervention, he is now a prominent figure in the farming family. Therefore, the arrangements for Yang Chong were naturally very thoughtful. This was when Liu Ji didn't know that it was Yang Chong himself who came this time.

"How does dog meat taste?" After returning to the room, Yang Chong asked the Snow Girl, whose lips were still shiny with oil.

Just now, Xue Nu also ate a lot of dog meat. Yang Chong was not surprised by this. Xue Nu looked cold, but she was also from a poor family. The so-called lady from a noble family was never Xue Nu's nature. She was also a girl with a naughty nature, but it was difficult for ordinary people to see it. The so-called coldness was just a disguise for Xue Nu to protect herself.

"It tastes good, but not as good as what I ate when I was a child," Snow Girl recalled.

"Did you eat dog meat when you were a child?" Yang Chonglai came to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Xue Nu. He was quite curious about what Xue Nu talked about her childhood.

"Yes, I have. I remember I was five years old at that time. I hadn't been taken in by her yet, so I was an orphan. We had a group of friends. I remember that winter was very cold. We were cold and hungry. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to meet a dog. We took a lot of effort to kill the dog, and then we ate the dog meat. Of course, we didn't have any cooking skills at that time, so the meat was either raw or burnt." The Snow Girl recalled.

"The dog meat at that time was of course not delicious, but it was the most delicious food I have ever eaten in all these years," the Snow Girl continued.

"That's the bonus of memory. If that's the case, I should have eaten similar food before." Yang Chong said.

"Did my husband have a similar experience when he was a child?" the Snow Girl asked curiously.

This was the name Yang Chong had agreed with Xue Nu when he left Linzi. If Xue Nu still called Yang Chong "king" when he was out, he would be exposed in a minute. Who knows what will happen when the King of Qi appears in the territory of Chu? People's hearts cannot stand the test. "Of course, there are. Of course, I had a good childhood. Although it was a deception from the beginning, I must admit that if there was no deception, I would be even more miserable, so I still benefited from the deception." Yang Chong recalled.

Although everything in Xiliu Village is fake, Yang Chong grew up there. From this point of view, he can be said to have benefited from it. As for being exploited, the saddest thing for a person is not being exploited, but not having the value of being exploited.

"What is the most delicious food my husband has ever eaten?" Xue Nu asked curiously. Yang Chong's experience was no secret. Whether it was how he became the general in Korea, or how he relied on the power of Zhao to gain a place to settle down, and finally occupied the entire Qi State with a corner of the land, these stories were well known to people all over the world. However, not many people knew about Yang Chong's stories before that. Xue Nu only knew that Yang Chong grew up in an unknown village in Korea during his youth, and she didn't know anything else.

"It should be the barbecue we ate during those years in Dalong Mountain. Yan Lingji's cooking skills are quite good." Yang Chong recalled.

After Yang Chong and Xue Nu escaped the dangers from the farmers and Luowang, they lived in Dalong Mountain for a long time to recover and improve their strength. During that time, Yan Lingji was responsible for their daily life. As for Yan Lingji's cooking skills? She was only good at arson, so during that time, Yang Chong ate dark food for a long time.

However, as Yang Chong just said, the taste of the food itself is important to the eater, but it is not the most important thing. For the eater, the mood when eating the food is the most important.

A bowl of rice and a jug of water, if you can share them with the people you care about, are delicious food. But if you are alone, even if you eat like a glutton all day long, what you satisfy is only the temporary comfort of your stomach, but your heart will never be filled.

"Is Sister Yan Ling also good at cooking?" Xue Nu asked curiously.

Xue Nu knew several women in the Qi Palace. She also knew about Yan Lingji. She was a carefree woman. To put it in an elegant way, she was quite bold and enthusiastic like the women of Baiyue. To put it in a less pleasant way, she was carefree and heartless. How could such a woman be said to have good cooking skills? Xue Nu had deep doubts about this.

"I'm not good at it. Now I can only ensure that the food is roasted. As for before, whether I eat bloody food or burnt food, it all depends on luck." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong's life was not very good during that period, but the material difficulties could not affect Yang Chong's mood. Yang Chong lived a very happy life during that period because there was only her and Yan Lingji at that time.

That was Yan Lingji. At that time, Yang Chong was still just Yang Chong. Living together with Yan Lingji was simply too good to be true. It could be said that it was Yang Chong’s biggest dream.

"So what is truly delicious are the memories of the past?" The Snow Girl looked at Yang Chong. She saw a smile from the heart in Yang Chong's expression, without any false elements. That smile was no different from the smile of an ordinary person when he encountered something happy. At this time, the Snow Girl had understood what Yang Chong meant. The most delicious thing in the world has never been food, but memories.

Xue Nu also confirmed the rumors she had occasionally heard in the Palace of Prince Qi. In the Palace of Prince Qi, although Zi Nu's authority as the queen was inviolable, the person who should not be offended the most was Yan Lingji, a woman who didn't care about anything.

The Snow Girl used to be puzzled by this and didn't know why it was so. If the reason was that Yan Lingji was favored, then women like Zi Nu, Nanyue, and Hong Lian also spent a lot of time with Yang Chong. In this regard, Yan Lingji did not seem to be the most favored woman. But now the Snow Girl has understood that for Yang Chong, the woman he cares about the most is indeed Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji is no longer just a woman to Yang Chong in the simplest sense, but a part of Yang Chong's life.

Realizing this, the Snow Girl couldn't help but feel a sour emotion. At this moment, she even envied Yan Lingji. If a woman cannot meet a man who is worthy of her giving everything in her life, when she is old and recalls her youth, she will probably regret it because the memories are boring, right?

As the Snow Girl thought about it, she felt a little impulse in her heart. She also wanted to indulge herself. She didn't want to see only paleness when she recalled her past decades later. She wanted more. She not only wanted Yang Chong to integrate into her world, but also wanted herself to become Yang Chong's memory.

At this moment, Xue Nu clearly realized that what she wanted was not only to survive in the Qi Palace, she also wanted to live in Yang Chong's heart. Only in this way would she be important to the world and to Yang Chong, and she would not be just an insignificant person.

"The future is hard to grasp, and the present is too short. Only memories have become the past and become eternal." Yang Chong said to himself, not noticing that two flames had ignited in the Snow Girl's eyes that were as crystal clear as snowflakes.

The girl became greedy. Greed can also be an expression of affection between men.

"Eternal memory?" The Snow Girl murmured, without any hesitation in her heart.

"In order to have more and better memories in the future, we should start now." As the Snow Girl muttered to herself, she took the initiative to hold Yang Chong's hand.

Yang Chong looked at the Snow Girl holding his hand in surprise. The Snow Girl's initiative really caught him off guard.

Yang Chong's sudden action caught Xue Nu even bolder in her eyes. The relationship between men and women is so subtle. Xue Nu was still nervous when she took action just now, but seeing Yang Chong's reaction at this time, she became even braver.

In Xue Nu's view, Yang Chong's surprise was a sign of weakness, which seemed to refresh Xue Nu's perception of Yang Chong.

But how could the Snow Girl know that a skilled hunter often appears in the form of prey. Otherwise, how could she lure the prey step by step into the trap?
In this game between men and women, although Yang Chong was not a very powerful master, it was easy for him to deal with a girl like Snow Girl who had just grown up. There were thousands of tricks, but he only needed to use one or two on Snow Girl to turn her into a delicious delicacy.

The Snow Girl forgot to ask one thing just now. For Yang Chong, although Yan Lingji’s cooking skills were poor, she herself was the most delicious food in the world to Yang Chong.
