Let's talk about the Zhencheng Mansion, and now it is indeed about to be the time to go down. Everyone has to face one question: what to eat for lunch?

In this era, the mainstream is a two-meal system, to put it bluntly, it is a morning meal around 9 o'clock, and a feeding meal around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. However, the powerful, the gentry, the soldiers during the war, and the peasants during the harvest were all on a three-meal system.

Especially when the power is a woman, since the first Empress Zhou was very strict with the quality of life, the women of the subsequent dynasties did not dare to say extravagance and waste, but for food, clothing, housing and transportation, which are closely related to life, the requirements are relatively high.

"Li, prepare to go to the Ya, what do you have for lunch?" A young woman asked, looking at a beautiful woman who was dealing with government affairs.

"General Ren, it seems that our relationship is not so good, please don't call me by my name!" The beautiful woman looked at the woman, and then buried herself in the case, "Please call me Cheng Yu, otherwise I will be called Zhongde." ”

"Li, you don't have any friends like this......" The young woman couldn't help but complain when she heard this, if you want to talk about her resume, she is still above this beautiful woman, but if you want to say that her status in Cao Cao's heart is different. As the mastermind of Cao Jun, this beautiful woman is very valued by Cao Cao. It's not that I was going to have a good relationship, it's just that she's always been so lukewarm.

"Sister, what are you going to eat for lunch?" But a man approached the young woman and asked with a smile.

"Hong?" The young woman glanced back at the comer, "Today's training is complete?" We can't be compared to those two guys from the Xiahou family! ”

"Sister, rest assured, the training will be completed on time and in quantity!" When a man comes to a woman, just looking at his appearance, he will probably think that the man should be the woman's brother, but in fact it is the opposite.

The female birth rate is too low, because for hundreds of years, once a woman is born, her quality far exceeds that of men, which is the fundamental reason why women can be in power; The second is the increase in life expectancy, up to 200 years old; Finally, adolescence continues until the age of 180, until the age of 181 begins to enter middle age, and 191 years begins to enter old age.

The time of childbearing naturally starts from the age of 12 to the age of 180. In the last few hundred years, it has been recorded that women have given birth to more than 80 cases in the past 100 years, including 20 female babies, and have been commended by the royal family.

On the contrary, most men live around the age of forty or fifty, enter middle age at the age of thirty-five, and enter old age at the age of forty-five. Some people live to be 60 years old, which is already considered 'ancient and rare'.

"Oh, that's good...... Anyway, I really don't want to eat at the Yamen......" The young woman was a little relieved when she heard this, but then she sighed, "It's black beans and wheat rice every day...... Knowing that Meng De is short of money, he can't pick up cheap ones to buy! ”

Wheat is cheaper than corn due to its promotion and cooking methods. Let's just say that black beans were originally used to feed horses, and people generally don't eat them, so the price is naturally not expensive.

"It's good to have something to eat, and no matter how bad it is, there is cured meat to accompany the meal!" The beautiful woman did not look up, but answered.

"Cheng's cured meat, forget it!" When the young woman heard this, she only felt a chill behind her. If it weren't for the lack of food and the helplessness, she was afraid that she would be the first to jump out and stop the appearance of Cheng's cured meat.

"Shall you go out for dinner?" Another young woman with short hair walked in, "The Cao family is not short of money, right?" ”

"Save some military rations, and you can also feed the soldiers!" A man in a Confucian robe came in behind the short-haired girl.

"The problem is that even if I want to go out to eat now, the materials in Zhencheng are also scarce now, even if it is Tianxianglou, which I often go to, the ingredients come and go like this, and I am tired of eating!" The girl surnamed Cao immediately complained.

"And the locust plague is getting worse and worse, and if it continues, it is estimated that we will starve......," the beautiful woman put down her paperwork and sighed.

"Speaking of which, what about Mengde?" The girl surnamed Cao looked left and right, and the clan sister had always been unable to see people recently.

"The lord went to talk to the gentry, but it seems that he is afraid that he still has nothing." The beautiful woman shook her head, since Lu Bu occupied Chenliu County and conquered Puyang City, Cao Cao lacked grain, grass and materials, and the money was not very lacking, and he made a lot of 'extra money' in Xuzhou.

The problem is that now that there is a drought and locust plague in Yanzhou, many materials are scarce, and the gentry are hoarding Juqi and refusing to sell their stored grain, so it is really useless to have money. It is said that in the Guanzhong area, one stone of grain has been sold for 100,000 yuan, which is a hundred yuan!

"That's why I said it!" At this moment, Xiahoudun walked in with a grumbling stomach, "Just kill all these gentry who don't know how to lift up, and confiscate all their family property!" ”

"This will make the gentry in other places alienate us!" The woman surnamed Cao immediately retorted, "Lu Bu was able to enter Yanzhou because some time ago, the lord issued a recruitment order, and he killed the famous man Bian Rang last year. If you kill people and raid your family casually, I am afraid that the few counties under your control now will fall to Lu Bu! ”

"Anyway, aren't we talking about what to eat for lunch?" The short-haired girl pulled the topic back directly.

"Isn't that a bother?" The girl surnamed Cao complained directly, "It's good that Yan is here at this time, she must know where there is delicious food in Zhencheng!" Then again, what about Yeon? ”

"I still seem to see it when I o'clock in the morning...... Ask someone to ask? The short-haired girl spoke directly.

At this time, Xun Yu's near side hurried over, and when he saw a few people, he breathed a sigh of relief. If everyone is there, then there is no need to notify everywhere, so he stepped forward and saluted and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the head of the family, Xun Yutuo, has a small message for all the adults, saying that there is a restaurant in the East District, and the head of the family will entertain you to have lunch in the past, hoping to enjoy your face!" ”

"There's a restaurant?" The woman surnamed Cao thought for a while, "Isn't it the one near the mansion?" It's just a restaurant of that level, just Yan's pursuit of food, where will she go?! ”

"Don't say that!" When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he immediately jumped out, "The owner is very handsome, and his cooking skills are really good!" ”

"Is that the shopkeeper you like, but keep pursuing but being rejected again and again?" The short-haired girl was stunned.

"He's just a little shy and shy, which makes him even cuter!" Xiahou Yuan directly retorted.

"I don't say anything about your orientation...... "The man in the Confucian robe came forward directly, but he couldn't come forward and digressed again, "Xun Sima came forward to entertain you, should we go?" ”

"Since it's Xun Sima, then you can't help but give this face!" The beautiful woman thought for a moment, and finally stood up.

"It just so happens that we also have a headache for lunch, and this is solved!" The short-haired girl said with a smile.

"It's a bit embarrassing!" Xiahoudun recalled the humiliation she had seen before, she had already decided not to go to that store in the short term, but her desire for food made her a little hesitant, "Since it was Xun Sima who invited her......

Naturally, needless to say, they just invited Xun Yu to treat, and of course they would go. At the same time, I was also curious about what kind of delicacy could make Xun Yu patronize this restaurant.

Seeing that everyone was gone, a figure shook into the mansion, looked at the empty hall, and suddenly sighed: "These guys, are you going out to eat again?" Don't take me with you, it's getting more and more unusual! ”

After a pause, he continued: "Since I didn't go to the cafeteria, I must have gone out to eat, so I'll go and join in the fun!" ”
