As mentioned earlier, during the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the Chinese New Year, Li Su took his wife to visit Huashan, and asked Zhuge Liang to visit the clouds after the Chinese New Year. At that time, Zhuge Liang was only three or four months away from the age of sixteen.

It is now the end of the third lunar month in 194. Calculate the day, Zhuge Liang's 16th birthday will be on his way to Huchuquan. The environment of slept in the wind and dining and rushing far away is definitely not good, so Li Su took advantage of the comfort of being in Yinchuan City these days and invited A Liang to have a few bowls of birthday noodles, which is also a compensation for the people.

Besides, there is no point in using it. This is for Zhuge Liang's own growth and accumulating experience in all aspects.

The group sat and reinstalled the wheels, wrapped in a caravan with straw tires, and swayed into Yinchuan City, which was only half a meter high in earth wall.

Ma Chao personally came to the city gate to greet Li Su, and then entered the city together. Ma Chao talked about his achievements since last year's trip to his own world and experiences, and also said that he had prepared a simple welcoming banquet to entertain Li Su and his party.

However, Li Su could also see that this welcome banquet must be really simple, not Ma Chao was modest - who made Yinchuan County just set up not long?

Just to say that the so-called city wall I just saw is actually a wall, without even the tamping process, it can only be regarded as a pile-up. It is not as good as the frozen ice wall camp established by Ma Chao and Cao Cao during the Battle of Weishui in history.

Other buildings in the city are also very simple. The Yinchuan County Ma Chao temporarily set up is just a building surrounded by rammed earth and picket piles and wooden fences. The house inside is still a tent with wooden pillars.

As for the residences of officials and civilians in the city, it is even more ruined. Even if there is a house, it is temporarily pieced together with straw mud and some wood. The immigrants have just arrived here for less than a month, so it would be nice to be able to finish the spring plowing and transplanting rice seedlings first. The house can only be slowly repaired during the slack farming in the future.

Seeing that the city was so simple, Li Su was not very much expecting Ma Chao's banquet and hospitality. He smiled and said, "You have to be polite, just give the ingredients to the chef he brought with him. People like Li Su, even if they only have a guard regiment of 1,000 people, must have a special chef with the army. Anyway, the troops were going to cook in the hot army, so it would not be too much to make two extra skills to make small dishes.

Li Su is not a military general, so he doesn't have to play the role of "food and the lowest soldiers".

Ma Chao originally wanted to be polite, but later he thought that Li Su was always known for his extravagance in Liu Bei's camp, and probably he really looked down on the rough cooks he treated to. So he didn't insist, but just transferred dozens of sheep to Li Su and his party, and there were other materials.

It's impossible to do something that flatters the horse's legs.

Zhuge Liang was also very curious, wanting to know how well the people who had never been to Yinchuan County in their lifetime knew about this place.

The group packed up and settled for a while, and soon arrived at dinner time. At noon, they ate dry food in the caravan, and everyone had already faded out of their mouths. Everyone could not stand the faint fragrance coming from the tent that was temporarily used as a kitchen in the camp where Li Su was staying.

In fact, Li Su has already given him a big job. He didn't even make any dishes with a strong smell to attract everyone, and the fragrance is already very light and natural.

All he asked the chef to cook was to catch the lamb in water, and did not use spices specifically. He just put some ginger and bay leaves at the most basic level, and even the salt was almost cooked before adding a little bit. So the fresh mutton would not be marinated and dehydrated, and the meat would be ripe.

As for the lack of seasoning, let’s make a dipping sauce separately. Use fermented black bean soy sauce, garlic paste, pepper, and a little bit of heretic leeks (in fact, leeks are only needed to dip in the Mongolian sheep, and the sheep on the salt pond beach can not be added)

In addition to mutton, I used ramen with salt pond alkali water and noodles as a staple food - ramen, which was the first time I was invented on Earth tonight.

The noodle cook who Li Su brought with him only knew how to roll the noodles and cut them, but he never thought that the noodles could be stretched repeatedly after alkaline and oil, and it would not stick. For the first time, Li Su asked him to pull it with confidence and boldness. If it was broken, don't be afraid that the tramplings would be given to ordinary soldiers. The chef repeatedly broke dozens of bowls, and finally felt a little touch.

It was not until it was almost dark that Li Su greeted Zhuge Liang and others, as well as Ma Chao and Ma Dai to enter the tent to have a banquet.

The wine was brought by Ma Chao from Jincheng with the army. It is very precious and the transportation cost is expensive. The army has been banned for many days. Except for the time of winning the battle, there is no need to drink it.

There is a plate of lamb and vegetables on each table. Next to it is a bowl of slightly golden noodles, with green garlic leaves and green onions and snow-white radish slices. Large pieces of thick cut and chopped mutton that are also snow-white but reflective luster.

It’s a pity that there is no red spicy oil in the noodles, so I can only sprinkle some pepper. In this era, not only did not have chili peppers, but also the variety of vegetable oil is relatively scarce. Even the layer of oil that prevents sticking during ramen is coated with mutton oil.

In addition, the noodle soup is also used directly to cook mutton soup. After serving it, it is a little bit hot, and you can immediately see a layer of white oil floating. If people who like light flavors in later generations would probably not be used to it, and they would feel it was like the noodles stewed with Henan mutton. However, people in the late Han Dynasty were not very repulsive to greasy, and the soup with white mutton oil was only delicious and mellow.

"The Right General is really particular. Eating mutton is more refined than that of us who have lived in Xiliang for a long time. Ma has eaten mutton for twenty years, so it's a waste of time." Ma Chao sighed while eating. His situation was pretty good. After all, he had eaten Yanchitan sheep for almost a month, but he praised Li Su's ramen and dipping sauce.

The first time others ate Yanchitan sheep, the triple shock of ramen and dipping sauce was superimposed, and they couldn't speak, and they didn't even have time to praise them. They only heard the sound of "huffing" and "sucking" in the big tent.

"Mr. Li was just aware of the knowledge he saw from books like geography and monsters. Why did he understand the local area better than me when he went to these places he had never been to? Well, it must be because he read a lot of other books, learned from other things, and knew the principles of the transformation of all things.

So he knew that it was amazing to be able to achieve such a mutton that is absolutely unsavory when he met and transformed with the "alkali water" and transformed it into a transformation... It seems that I was in vain for one and a half years. I still didn't study enough, and I would have to keep vomiting the old and accepting the new for the rest of my life and never be arrogant.

I don’t want to think about it anymore, eating a few more pieces of meat is so delicious. Not only does this meat have no mutton smell, it is also so tender and fragrant, which is really incredible.”

After Zhuge Liang finished a large bowl of mutton ramen with hand, he wiped his mouth and thought to himself.

As the saying goes, half a boy is poor. Zhuge Liang was sixteen years old, which was the time when he was developing the most vigorously. In history, he could grow to "cultivate more than eight feet". Now his family is in better condition. Although he doesn't have to work hard like in history, he needs to ride a horse and go on a road, and some other things to work hard. At the age of sixteen, he is as tall as Li Su, who is seven feet and six inches tall.

If Zhuge Liang had two to three years of development, even if his growth slowed down a little, he would probably be eight feet, three and four inches tall every year. It would be no wonder that such a tall and strong man would eat five kilograms of mutton during his development period (Han kilogram, equivalent to two and a half kilograms).

As for the women Li Su brought, although it was not very convenient to show up in public, they also hid in the tent and ate mutton ramen and had a lot of fun. They all felt that Yinchuan County was not a bitter and cold place outside the border.

...

However, even if mutton is served casually, Li Su can't stand it. Unlike other people of his contemporaries, he pays special attention to health preservation and vitamin supplementation.

In the diet of the day, only garlic, leaves, radish, scallion is vegetarian. It is really unbearable to eat two pounds of meat and half a pound of vegetables. So at the end of the banquet, Li Su still had to make some tea for himself.

Tea is very important for grassland people to relieve greasy health, because I am tired of eating too much sheep. Li Su rarely adds goat milk to the tea to make milk tea, but adds dried dates and wolfberry, which further increases the nutritional vitamins of fruits.

This way of eating jujube and wolfberry was also quite popular in some places in the northwest region in later generations, and it has its own reasons. It was invented by Li Su as a supporting drink for catching sheep after eating it. It soon became a trend and was later promoted and spread everywhere by generals such as Ma Chao.

It can be said to be a land of the Han Dynasty. Whether in the north or south, the extravagant trend was led by Li Su. From Jingzhou to Yizhou to Liangzhou, the things Li Fucai used would immediately attract people to imitate.

Unfortunately, Li Su himself forgot that eating too many sheep from Yanchitan and eating dates, leeks, flowers and wolfberry at the same time would make people over-nutrition and almost had a long nose bleeding that night.

Fortunately, he stopped bleeding and lay down for a while. After his body calmed down, he still felt hot. It was the end of the month and the beginning of the month. It was at this time that he took Liu Miao, who had just left with his relatives, to start traveling. Of course, he was also inviting to come again.

Poor Liu Miao has experienced the storm of the first storm, and she has seen a few worlds. She is so angry that she is so angry that she can share the suffering.

After the clouds were closed and the rain stopped, Liu Miao gasped for a long time, dazed and dazed, as if she had gained a lot of life insights.

She rubbed Li Su's chest with her hair, and Yan Yu murmured: "Before you, I was considered to be tough if I had no desires. After following you, I realized where I was strong if I had no desires, and I had little knowledge.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about these things anymore. Follow you for a few years and do something meaningful. Don’t always think about nothingness. Maybe after you get tired of all this, you will be really and desireless."

Li Su used her fingers to help her comb her sweaty and sticky hair: "Then let go completely and do whatever she wants. When the heat comes, it will naturally not exceed the rules."

Liu Miao blushed when she heard this and blamed her coquettishly: "You... Why can't you be so clingy to your words? You have no piety at all. It's so shameful to mix Confucianism with other practices."

Li Su: "I have both virtue and sex, and I am good at being lustful."

Liu Miao felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She felt more and more that when she was with Li Su, not only would her body be tested, but her soul would be washed away. Especially Li Su, who has no sages in her heart, let alone the Six Classics, he was afraid that all the Taos in the world would use it to use it. It can be said that "the hundred schools of thought are me, and if it is useful, it will be used."

Even with your own women, they are full of strange words and do not restrain themselves.

Liu Miao felt that his lower limit was lowered and he was less and less moral, but there were more and more possibilities.

The meaning of life has changed so quickly, and it is a damn exciting person to continue to explore in depth.

For several days, Liu Miao followed Li Suzan to eat mutton, wolfberry, jujube, leeks and leeks in the tent, and discussed philosophy and the true meaning of life, so as to relieve the fatigue of the previous journey.

The other idle people in the inspection team also rested for a few days, and then everyone divided into two groups. Li Su continued to inspect in Yinchuan County. The mission sent to contact Huchuquan continued to go on the road and arrived at Huchuquan's sweat court a few days later.
