Chapter 226: Slaughtering Guests

Liu Bei made a pun, and Pang Lin happily went to Zhuge Ke to find out the bottom line of 'Zhuge Ziyu's son'.

Liu Bei and others returned to the longhouses on the edge of the rape fields, and in the territory of Zhaoyangyi, Tian Xin liked wide longhouses, and many longhouses were built in various military and Mintun strongholds.

near the river, in damp places, fill in wooden stakes to build longhouses suspended two or three feet in the air; To build a longhouse on flat land and mountainous land, dig a kang pit first to prepare for winter heating.

In the long house, Liu Bei lay on his side, Liu Yong and Guan Xing knelt on both sides of him, and the two of them carefully grinded tea powder in a stone bowl, and at the bottom were Gao Yang and Zhang Shao, and they were Guan Ji and Pang Feiyan.

The Northern Shogunate moved to Danyang Township, and Pang Lin came here to work, so his family naturally moved with him.

This made Tian Xin a little suspicious that the impeachment of some of the people who did not sit in the court was instructed by Pang Lin.

With military merits, Pang Lin has begun to gather and inherit the influence of Pang Tong, Lumen Mountain is originally the Pang family and the Xi family, and the scholars who came out are naturally Lumen Mountain people.

Liu Bei stared at the boiled black clay pot in the brazier, and when he saw a large bubble of pearls rising, he hummed softly and signaled that the two could move on to the next step.

Liu Yong and Guan Xing took the boiling water to brew tea powder, and the bright green tea soup was rich and fragrant, permeating the longhouse.

Liu Yong and the two of them used boiling water to hot the yellow-green porcelain cup, this kind of porcelain is a special product of Yuzhang County, there is enamel, smooth and beautiful with the feel of jade, but the glaze is very poor, just a strange yellow-green.

Not long after, the tea prepared by the two was delivered to Liu Bei, and the tea used was different, Guan Xing mixed the tea before the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Yong mixed the tea before the rain.

Liu Bei drank it successively, his spirit was obviously invigorated, and he smiled when he spoke: "Before the Ming Dynasty, the second tea before the rain smelled the thunder and sprouted, before the Ming Dynasty, the cold winter snow water, before the rain had to be moistened by the gentle spring rain, cooked by filial piety, and cooked with the wonder of water and fire. ”

Guan Ji drank half a cup of extra diluted tea, and the goose egg with a slightly double-chin face was full of smiles, and persuaded: "Uncle, tea can clear the heart and clear the mind, but you can't drink too much, and I hope that my uncle will be temperate." ”

The original tea was made by fermentation, and in order to prepare tea with a special taste, there are naturally many novel and alternative ways to drink tea.

Guan Ji is pregnant, which involves Tian Xin's blind spot in common sense, but there are also some summaries, such as restricting her from drinking strong tea, even honey water and sugar crisp, and taking more mild and non-stimulating ingredients in the diet, and putting an end to hunting for strange ingredients.

In recent years, there have also been many dietary statements related to pregnant women, in order to have a son...... There are too many strange rumors and customs, such as what color clothes to wear are easy to have sons, and it is common to worship various mountain gods and river gods.

Guan Ji advised, Liu Bei just smiled, and took another sip of tea soup, looking comfortable: "This fairy soup is also, no matter how much you drink, it will also benefit your body and mind, far from being comparable to wine." ”

Princess Gaoyang also took a sip and savored it, her eyebrows stretched.

She has a slender posture and delicate eyebrows, a gentle and modest temperament, and a slightly regretful tone: "Tea soup is suitable for health, but unfortunately you can't add more honey." ”

"Exactly, it tastes best with sugar water."

Guan Ji is also regretful, she can't enjoy eating candy now.

As he spoke, Nobu Tian came from outside the hall after changing his clothes, and a small bowl was placed on a wooden plate in his hand, and in the bowl was sliced honey cubes and strawberry jam.

Similar to the past, Guan Ji only had a small half slice in the bowl, and Liu Bei also sat up straight to eat.

The meal is steamed white and fluffy steamed buns, dipped in honey and wild strawberry jam, which is very appetizing.

Wild strawberry jam is harvested and dried in summer, and boiled in brown sugar water when used, which has a sweet and sour taste and a strong aroma.

Liu Bei smeared the jam with a wooden spoon and asked, "Sun Quan asked Zhuge Yuanxun to send 100,000 stone rice, can filial piety know what it means?" ”

Tian Xin just cut the steamed bread slices, was picking up the wooden spoon, kept in his hand, and replied: "Your Majesty, this Sun Quan is showing goodwill." Our army's northern expedition is imminent, and Cao Pi is afraid of our army's front, and will definitely force Sun Quan to send troops to interfere with our army's flank. Sun Quan was afraid that our army would go on a second expedition to the east, and he would not follow Cao Pi's instructions, and Cao Pi would deceive our army for having little food, and he was afraid that he would send troops to Huainan first, with the intention of swallowing Wu. ”

After smearing the jam and handing the steamed bread slices to Guan Ji, Tian Xin continued: "Wei and Wu are not conducive to our army's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and this Wei people are calculating. In order to avoid passivity, Sun Quan would offer food to me, prompting our army to go on a northern expedition in advance to divide the momentum of the Wei people. ”

Picking up a steamed bun to spread jam and honey on himself, Tian Xin said with a smile: "Pan Chengming is indeed talented, this is a precautionary measure." The minister thinks that it is good to wait and see what it becomes, if Cao Pi has a move to swallow Wu, I can get three or five hundred thousand stone military rations at my fingertips, why not? ”

"Well, Sun Quan and Pan Jun can see it thoroughly."

Liu Bei chewed carefully, took a sip of light tea soup, and swallowed it refreshingly: "I accepted Sun Quan's 100,000 stone rice today, it seems that Pan Jun's plan succeeded?" ”

"Yes, if you refuse, you can get two or three hundred thousand next time."

Tian Xin said and smelled the steamed buns with jam filling: "It's not too late to ask for it now, it's fish and meat, how dare you refuse?" ”

After saying that, Tian Xin opened his mouth and took a bite, chewing it heavily, as if he was chewing the meat of Sun Quan and Pan Jun.

Liu Bei nodded slowly, and looked sideways at Zhang Shao: "It is rumored that Pang Shiheng and others will come to dine together." ”

Zhang Shao also served as the general of Yulin Zhonglang, put down half of the bun in his hand, tidied up his appearance, and got up: "Obey the order." ”

Liu Bei looked at Guan Xing again: "Anguo, make a new pot of tea, feel free." ”

"Yes, I understand."

Guan Xing grabbed the steamed bun in his hand and bowed his head to the side to salute simply, and went to the side of the shelf to get tea while eating the steamed bun, the tea has before the Ming Dynasty, before the rain, and the two pots of new tea that have been newly fried in the past two days, the new tea has a high yield, and the mellow tea taste is far inferior to the tea before the Ming Dynasty before the Qingming Festival, and the tea before the rain before the Gu Yu.

When Guan Xing re-brewed the tea, Pang Lin led Li Feng and Zhuge Ke to the door of the longhouse, and they all changed into bast shoes in the style of soft slippers.

There are two princesses and three daughters in the house, Li Feng has been sitting under Tian Xin since he came in, his head hanging, Zhuge Ke is bold, he glanced at the people in the long house, and his eyes stayed on Tian Xin's side face for a second longer, faintly provocative.

Tian Xin only glanced at Zhuge Ke obliquely, and his hands did not stop, and he continued to cut the steamed bread slices with a serrated silver knife.

Zhuge Ke's eyes also stayed on the silver knife in Tian Xin's hand for a moment, and the popular silver knife in the meal also began with Tian Xin.

Thanks to Tian Xin's "Twelve Strategies for Epidemic Prevention and Rescue", although the knowledge of epidemic prevention is not explicitly stated, it also allows people to see another more clever and insidious way of poisoning.

If Tian Xin didn't publish the twelve strategies for epidemic prevention and rescue, he could completely use the means of throwing the plague to assassinate all those who wanted to murder.

Tian Xin doesn't use the plague to kill people, but some people will use it, and some people will suspect that others will murder themselves by the means implied above.

So now when you get a gift, you will go through it in boiling water and then use it.

And the food ...... It's almost impossible to have anything like a thousand miles of crisp and sugar; Even if you drink with each other, you will be prepared for poisoning.

Then when drinking, clinking glasses and blending each other's wines has become a symbol of credit, friendship, and living and dying together.

So at this time, Tian Xin, who has never accumulated gold and silver, suddenly used a silver knife to cut meat, cut steamed buns, and drink water from a silver cup...... That's naturally prescient, in short, just follow suit and learn.

Seeing Guan Xing bring the teapot, Pang Lin caught the tea soup with fresh green and rich tea fragrance for each other, Zhuge Ke came back to his senses and solemnly saluted Liu Bei: "The envoy of Wu State was ordered to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Bei sat casually, and when he saw Zhuge Ke's solemn and solemn manners, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed: "When did you have the Kingdom of Wu?" I thought that Cao Pi would make Sun Quan the king of Yue, and he would be the king of Wu, where would he leave Sun Bofu's son? ”

Zhuge Ke solemnly said: "The foreign ministers came with courtesy, why did Your Majesty despise my lord?" ”

Liu Bei just smiled and looked up at Tian Xin, Tian Xin raised the steamed bun that had just been smeared with jam in his hand and shook it in front of Zhuge Ke: "This is your short-legged King Wu." ”

After that, he opened his mouth and put it in his mouth, chewing, and looked at Zhuge Ke with a smile in his eyes.

Zhuge Ke was furious and stood up angrily: "Xiahou Gui is the third Ke of the Han Dynasty, why is it rude!" ”

"Why, you have the wrath of the puffer, too?"

Tian Xin raised his chin and smiled and looked Zhuge Ke up and down: "Your Majesty reads that you are the prime minister's nephew, and you are here for a cup of tea." I don't want to eat it, so I go back to Gangneung. Remember to take back the 100,000 stone old rice and go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible. ”

"When I come back, remember to take 300,000 stone of new rice, but if there is a bag of old rice, or one stone of rice is missing, I will not accept it."

Tian Xin went to see Li Feng: "The kidnapping robbers also have a thief and a way, I don't take advantage of Sun Quan, I will pay him back." ”

Li Feng saw that Liu Bei did not object, and arched his hand: "Yes, the lower officials understand." ”
