Farming technology is not in a hurry, so Li Su, who returned to Nanzheng, immediately emptied her thoughts and prepared to be comfortable for a while, taking advantage of her lord's wedding, eating, drinking, having fun every day, and changing her mind.

October 12th is the happy day when Liu Bei took two concubines at the same time. Although it is not said that it is decorated with lights and colors in Nanzheng City, at least the surrounding area of ​​the prefect's mansion is decorated with new clothes. On the fifteenth day after three days, it was booked that Guan Yu would marry him, and he would also take concubines on the same day. October 18th is Zhang Fei's marriage. The banquet was held until the end of the month, and every day was a carnival of playing music and dancing.

On the eve of the banquet, Li Su still had to take a hot bath and clear the fatigue that had been traveling through mountains and rivers in Jiange for more than ten days before, and attended the ceremony with a refreshing spirit to avoid being rude.

Cai Yong and Cai Yan's family were going to take office in Ba County in the future and built another residence in Dianjiang and Jiangzhou, so they politely resigned and chose another residence in Nanzheng for his family, saying that they could live temporarily at the students' home.

Li Su's mansion was originally the second largest in Nanzheng County. It was originally owned by Zhang Wei, and it was rebuilt and repaired. Li Su had no relatives, so he let his mentor and junior sister live in the back and there was no crowd at all.

Cai Yong and Cai Yan were both used to living in the capital and Wu County. Although the Cai family had no money and could not afford to enjoy a luxurious life, Cai Yong's fame and status were there, and he saw a lot of great world. As rich as Cao Cao, he often invited him to a banquet with guests.

When he was in Wujun, Cai Yong lived in a manor bought by Gu Yong. The Gu family was the leader of the four families in Jiangdong. He was very rich and had excellent treatment.

This time, Cai Yong was actually ready to live some poor life, but he didn't expect that the mansion of this prospective son-in-law was not very luxurious except for the decoration (at least in the eyes of other Han dynasties, because Li Su didn't care about etiquette and useless decoration, and liked simple style)

But food, clothing, daily necessities make people feel unique and very good at living. Even Cao Cao's father Cao Song was greedy for more than one billion yuan when he became a senior farmer, he never used such exquisite things.

In this era, there were no woks or complicated cooking dishes, and the main thing was to stew, steam, fry and roast them. Li Su had no time to make a big fuss on the equipment, so she relied on subtle adjustments to spices and other seasonings to improve her life.

The main reason is that even if the thin iron wok is made, no one will develop related dishes for a while. Li Su can't let him cook in person, or teach the chef how to fry it step by step. He is not a cooking enthusiast, and a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so he just needs to eat it.

When he left Nanzheng in May, he would eat skewers while taking a bath. He would sweat too much when he was afraid that the weather would not take a bath. It was early October winter, so he had no concerns about the weather, and he was not afraid of eating mutton and dog meat. Every night he would ask the maids in the house to shabu, charcoal grill, and iron plates to eat which one they wanted.

He was the chief prefect of Shu County, the Central Army General, and he ate three servings per person. He chose whatever he wanted according to his mood. He would give the rest to his servants or eat with his friends, which was not too extravagant.

At this moment, Li Su was taking a bath with a skewer and a skewer. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others came again, even Guan Yu was there.

However, Li Su did not protect the food, mainly because there were a lot of ingredients tonight. In winter, the meat was left outdoors and was not afraid of bad food for two or three days. Li Su hoarded it very well.

Seeing Liu Bei, Li Su subconsciously asked the maid to bring a few more wooden barrels, thinking that they would take a bath before getting married and make it refreshed.

However, Liu Bei waved his hand to stop him: "Hey, no need, we are here to eat meat and drink. By the way, see if there is anything good here for my brother, so we can entertain guests at the banquet tomorrow."

Liu Bei said, "I have already opened my bows and skewers left and right, and I am a person who uses a double-stranded sword. The speed of holding the skewers is much faster than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who has eaten one hand and then taken one more.

He knows Li Su very well. Li Su seems to have new products for pleasure every time the season changes. How can he just come and search? If he encounters a "new hit in winter", he will make a profit.

Li Su smiled and joked: "Brother, the staff who handled the ceremony are busy, so why bother to make trouble for them? You should eat, drink and have fun, and it won't be the day of getting married. Zi Jing Ziyu and the others are so pitiful."

Liu Bei waved his hand: "It's not busy, Zijing Ziyu and the others are waiting for tomorrow to eat, drink, watch, and sing and dance. I didn't let them do things this time. Brother, you're just miscalculated now - they are all pragmatic talents, who govern the people and finances, how could they let them do such things?

Are there few people under my command who understand etiquette and etiquette and have lunch? Guan Ning took the lead in handling these wedding gifts. Among the disciples of Mr. Zheng, Cheng Bing was also very good at performing etiquette and asking them to help him."

Li Su then remembered that Liu Bei's army had many mascots who specialized in etiquette. Li Suyuan thought they had to wait until they ascended the throne of King Hanzhong, or were in charge of education like Guan Ning. Unexpectedly, they could find something to do when Liu Bei got married first.

Li Su replied: "Since it's these idle people who are doing it, I'm not afraid of causing trouble for them anymore - I'm interested in something new here. Even if I study, I'll use it to entertain guests tomorrow, as long as I don't 'une manners'."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Go to its etiquette! The ancients had no tricks, and the Emperor Zhou could only eat meat sauce to water the rice. My brother had good things and the guests felt it was good.

Well, let me see this skewers and iron plates. Your iron plate is not as good as the tiles of dog oil-grilled dog liver that I have eaten in Yecheng. Is there any new stuff? What's going on with this stew pot?"

Li Suyi pouted his chin and signaled the sauce next to him: "Shabu shabu, you can also call it hot pot. Just try it out, you can tell it, mutton, dog, venison, or even mutton."

Liu Guanzhang and others looked at each other suspiciously. Liu Bei didn't want to start, so Zhang Fei tried first.

Many people in later generations said that hot pot was sprouted in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Li Su didn’t believe this. Isn’t hot pot just a quick rinse, and there is no difference in technical content from stewing, it is nothing more than the length of time.

I can only say that the copper hot pot that conducts heat quickly and adjusts faster may have appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. But if you use a casserole like the Japanese sukiyaki or udon hot pot, the source will be too early. There are both in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the Japanese learned it from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

This thing cannot be developed all year round, but it is actually related to seasonings. If the cooking time is too short, the meat itself will not taste, and it will be purely light. If you use raw meat ingredients with a stronger smell or pigs fed from wet garbage in the Han Dynasty as food, it will be delicious.

The key to the prosperity of hot pot is not the pot, but the dipping sauce and soup base with a strong enough flavor.

As expected, Zhang Fei, who was incompetent in his method, slapped a few pieces of meat, grinned his teeth, and immediately abandoned it.

"Boya didn't expect that there was something so bad at your house, so bah," Zhang Fei couldn't help but vomit.

Li Su couldn't help but complain: "Who made you so anxious? I didn't see the sauce next to me? It would be different if you dip it. Okay, okay, you go out first, I won't soak it anymore."

Li Su was disturbed by the trouble and asked the maid to take the hot pot outside, take Liu Bei and the others away, and then closed the door to serve Li Su changing clothes.

When he put on his clothes and went out, he saw that Liu Bei and the other two were no longer as disgusted as they were just now, but were feasting with praise.

Although there are no chili peppers yet, Lisu has used fried pepper oil, pepper, dogwood, and cumin that I just bought from Qianghu merchants to make dipping sauce, plus well salt.

With dipping sauce and beef and mutton oil seasoning in the bottom of the pot, the hot pot has a soul.

"Okay, I'll have this for you. Tomorrow, I'll have a big banquet for guests. Guan Ning Chengbing and others will ask the kitchen to prepare dozens of casseroles to make. My dear brother will take out this recipe for dipping soup." Liu Bei wiped his mouth, wiped his hands clean, and patted Li Su on the shoulder:

"We haven't taken a bath these days. Brother, you don't have to soak in the future. It's not hot this day, so it's so easy to smell. I've asked a famous doctor these days, saying that too much bathing will hurt your vitality. You will know when you want to get married in the future. I want me to see, Mr. Cai's daughter, although she wants to keep a confidential relationship, she can't talk to her for the time being, but in private... Brother, why are you polite? You're so lucky, you're still idle."

Li Su was speechless for a while. Damn Liu Bei was talking about dirty jokes to him? Isn’t this kind of joke just by chatting with Jian Yong and fucking him?

However, this is also a manifestation of treating him as a buddy, which is about communicating with best friends in the workplace how to deal with his wife and how to cover each other up.

Li Su felt it made sense and agreed straightforwardly: "Brother said that it doesn't matter if you take a few months. Taking a bath for more years is indeed harmful to your vitality. In two months, I will make a new thing to take a bath, so that it won't hurt your vitality."

Traditional Chinese medicine says that taking a bath often damages vitality. In fact, modern medicine explains that soaking in water at high temperatures all year round can easily kill sperm.

But this is not impossible to solve. For example, you can change it to a sauna, make more wet bath towels soaked in cold water, and place them at the door to cool down. When steaming, wrap a cool bath towel to ensure that local areas of the body do not steam at high temperatures, and change the bath towel frequently.

Or create some strange-shaped hammam, soak your limbs normally, and then pour hot water on your upper body, and don’t soak your lower body, so you won’t hurt your vitality.

For people like Li Su who have a strong need for bathing, there are always more ways than difficulties. Just continue to spend money and refurbish them.

The Turkish bath was not invented by the Turks, but was first invented by Byzantine, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. It inherited the culmination of the technology of public bathrooms and water supply systems in ancient Rome. The enjoyment that Roman emperors could use during the contemporary era was not high-tech, so Li Su could certainly do it.

This can be regarded as inheriting the will of Emperor Ling of Han, and making up for the regret that Emperor Ling of Han failed to completely defeat the Roman Empire's water supply and drainage technology.

Liu Guanzhang searched for a variety of good products and recipes to show off at Li Su's house, and returned home with full food and drink.

After all the guests left, Cai Yan secretly turned out from behind the window of the wing room next to him and looked at Li Su up and down with concern.

"What are you looking at... Those are just men who joked with each other, and the General of the Conquest West had no malice." Li Su felt distressed, thinking that Cai Yan had heard some novel dirty jokes.

Cai Yan blushed and asked, "Senior Brother... Are you hurting your energy because you have taken too much bathing..."
