Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 596: Zhang Fei with a Black Face

Although I guess the upper limit of the combat power in this world will be very high, will Yan Xu be afraid?
Yan·First Level Earthly Immortal·Magnetic Field Martial Arts·Extraterritorial Strange God·Xu, said very lightly that as long as the super-standard earthly immortals, celestial immortals and above, as well as the three realms of heaven, did not take action, he would still have to eliminate the complete heavenly way and the geniuses who challenged above their level, and he would be invincible.

Yan Xu walked towards Zhuo County with full confidence, and then began to miss the days when Lao Niu was still there.

Due to his low-key nature, Yan Xu could not fly there. The old ox that served as his mount was serving as the Bull-Head of the Underworld, swinging a steel fork to clear out evil spirits. How could it have the time to carry him? He also looked down upon ordinary horses, so he could only walk all the way there.

Fortunately, he knew the low-key Qinggong skill, so he was not slow along the way. Even though this world was bigger, it didn't take him long to reach Zhuo County.

When he arrived at the place, Yan Xu first went to the city gate to see if there were any notices posted, and also to see if there was anyone selling straw sandals or dates.

When he looked up, he saw only some dilapidated notices. It seemed that Zhang Jue's disciples had not yet gone to inform on the secret, and the rebellion had not been exposed yet.

But this guy was also quite miserable. He was stabbed in the back by his own disciple at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Yan Xu couldn't help but shook his head and expressed sympathy.

Since this person did not rebel, it was obviously still some time before the Three Heroes of Peach Garden formed an oath of brotherhood. Yan Xu decided to find something to do for the time being.

There seemed to be no point in setting up industries in Zhuo County, because one would have to leave sooner or later. It was also not a good idea to pretend to be a god and spread the name of a deity. Firstly, it would easily attract too much unnecessary attention, and secondly, it might get involved in the chaos caused by the Taiping Dao.

After thinking it over, Yan Xu decided to go to Zhang Fei's house first to eat and drink, and by the way, see which version of Zhang Fei this person was.

The Zhang family is a powerful family in the local area. Although they are not a noble family, nor are they from a poor family, they have some strength and are not just butchers.

In fact, the Zhang family monopolized most of the meat industry in Zhuo County. Even if Zhen Guanxi came, he had to get Zhang Fei's approval if he wanted to sell meat.

Although these are all lowly industries in the eyes of the powerful, they do make a lot of money, and without some strength, it is impossible to achieve a monopoly.

Because of his wealthy family background, Zhang Fei received a good education since childhood. Judging from his cultural level alone, he is probably better than Liu Bei, who liked fancy clothes and did not study hard when he was young. It's just that Zhang Fei has brains but he doesn't use them, because most of the time, when encountering things, it is enough to just rush forward.

However, this also cultivated Zhang Fei's habit of respecting scholars. After all, if he didn't listen to his teacher when he was a child, he would be beaten. Moreover, it was not easy for a butcher's family to hire a teacher who was willing to teach. Therefore, Yan Xu came to the door in the name of Langya Yan's family, and was indeed taken seriously.

Although the Langya Yan family is not a big family, it is still a family. Their ancestors can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and they have produced famous generals. For the Zhang family, which is just a local noble family, this is marrying up.

What's more, Yan Xu not only has an extraordinary temperament, but also has a tall stature, which perfectly fits the image of a cultured person in Zhang Fei's mind.

In Zhang Fei's mind, a scholar should be like Confucius. In addition to being full of knowledge and practicing benevolence, righteousness, and morality, he should also be able to lift city gate bolts weighing hundreds of pounds, draw bows and drive chariots, and travel around the countries with three thousand warriors who are both talented in literature and martial arts. He should talk to people reasonably when he meets them, and he can also talk about physics if he doesn't want to talk about reason. This is the model of a scholar.

When Yan Xu saw the dark-faced Zhang Fei who had specially tidied up his appearance to greet him, he knew that this world was probably more like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it was more interesting this way.

"My surname is Yan Xu, my Taoist name is Yuanhua, and I am born in the Yan family of Langya. Since I was young, I have been fond of practicing Taoism and traveling abroad for many years. I happened to hear that there was a hero in Zhuo County, so I came here specially to visit him." Yan Xu did not put on too high an attitude, which made Zhang Fei, who was sitting upright, relax a little, and then he had a conversation according to the routine of literati.

Although most of it is nonsense, it is a manifestation of courtesy.

Yan Xu has experienced many dynasties. Although the Han Dynasty is older, his accumulated experience made him not panic at all. It didn't take long for him to convince Zhang Fei, who had not yet made his debut. He quickly asked people to prepare a banquet, killed a sheep himself, and asked people to buy big fish. In ancient times, there were many kinds of meat. Because there were no so-called protected animals, people often ate whatever they caught, but they mainly ate cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens that were convenient to raise.

Because cows are important laborers, they are rarely slaughtered, and even if they are slaughtered, they are not edible by ordinary people.

In the Water Margin world, the waiter would often cut two pounds of beef. That was because of the particularity of that world. If you try this in other worlds, you would either be kicked out by the store owner or taken away by the bailiffs.

Compared to beef, pork, dog and chicken are relatively inferior, which can be reflected in the insult that "pigs and dogs are worse than them". Therefore, they are generally eaten by ordinary people, and they are all they can afford.

Although mutton is not as good as cattle and horses, and is also not comparable to pigs, dogs or chickens, it is regarded as top quality and is generally used to entertain distinguished guests. This shows Zhang Fei's sincerity.

Although lacking in spices, Zhang Fei is indeed good at grilling meat. The grilled lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making people salivate.

The lamb was roasted, and Zhang Fei personally cut off the fattiest part with a meat knife and brought it to Yan Xu.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei was described as hot-tempered and irritable, and liked to whip his soldiers. That was because of his background.

As a local noble, Zhang Fei's status was actually very embarrassing. He had no way to move up and was regarded as a lowly person.

Because in the eyes of the aristocratic and powerful families, the wealthy families are no different from the common people at the bottom of the society, so how could they possibly let the other party be on the same level as themselves?

And even though the "poor family" looks down on them, the word "door" alone is enough to exclude most people, because the "poor family" refers to a declining aristocratic family. The other party not only has wealthy ancestors, but also has a family background and potential connections. All they need to make a name for themselves is an opportunity. This is the "poor family".

In fact, if Zhang Fei had not met Liu Bei, his greatest achievement in his life might have been an unknown local general.

If Dian Wei had not met Cao Cao, he would have been just a soldier. This is the class difference brought about by one's birth.

However, the wealthy and powerful families in the local area were unwilling to be associating themselves with those lowly peasants, so they spent all their time thinking about making progress.

This is exactly why the Zhang family started out as butchers and meat sellers, but allowed Zhang Fei to receive a good education. It is also why he respected scholars but looked down on people at the lower level.

Zhang Fei's education since childhood made him develop the habit of respecting his superiors and looking down on his subordinates, so he treated Yan Xu with great courtesy.

However, Yan Xu was not paying attention to these, but Zhang Fei himself. He felt like he was looking at his own disciple Shi Jin, except that he was an epic enhanced version.

Yan Xu could see that Zhang Fei had practiced martial arts, but his skills were not very good, only slightly better than Shi Jin's initial fancy moves.

But Zhang Fei was extremely gifted. His strong energy and blood were like a furnace. In the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, he could burn female ghosts and make them scream.

With such talent, as long as one successfully survives on the battlefield, one can integrate the murderous energy of the battlefield and forge an aura that can scare away ghosts and gods, thus creating the foundation for becoming an enemy of ten thousand men.
