Ganjiazhuang has a good harvest, and the Ganji family will hold a harvest feast for several days.
Zhang Fei smelled the fragrance as soon as he walked outside the hospital. He said excitedly: "Eldest brother, second brother, my sister-in-law's house seems to have a lot of food today?"
"Third brother, please be more cautious..." Guan Yu frowned and reminded.
"Second brother, you are too serious. Isn't my sister-in-law's home the eldest brother's home? Don't keep a straight face at all times..."
Guan Yu:......
"Is Xuande here?" Ganji heard someone talking outside the hospital, walked out and saw that it was Liu Guanzhang.
Liu Bei called his uncle, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both cupped their fists and saluted.
Ganji welcomed the three of them and sat down in front of the room in the courtyard, and shouted to the inside: "Qian'er, prepare three more pairs of bowls and chopsticks, it's Xuande and the others who are here..."
Gan Qian heard her father shouting and ran out to see that it was Liu Bei.
"Husband, two uncles..."
"Sister-in-law is polite..."
"You guys came just in time, Chef Ziyu is here today..." Gan Qian said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Okay, sister-in-law, do you have any wine? I'm a little thirsty after walking all the way..." Zhang Fei scratched his head and said.
"Yes, you guys sit down first, I'll be back as soon as I can..." Gan Qian walked into the house with a smile.
Seeing this, Guan Yu blushed and said to Ganji: "Uncle, my third brother is just like this..."
Ganji shook his head and said with a smile: "General Yide is very refreshing. The old man likes this kind of character very much."
After the people in Zhuangshang had a good harvest, they voluntarily sent eggs, meat and other ingredients as usual. However, it is difficult to store the ingredients due to the hot summer, so Lantian must make the ingredients into delicacies as soon as possible.
Gan Qian knew that Zhang Fei was good at wine, so she first brought out two jars of wine, and then brought out two plates of boiled broad beans. In this era, seasonings and condiments were limited, so Lan Tian could only make simple cold dishes.
Broad beans were a supplementary food at that time. Not many people grew them, and the cooking method was simple. Also because of their rough taste, not many people had eaten them. Lantian promoted the cultivation of broad beans in Ganjiazhuang, mainly for the cultivation of green manure.
.
Lantian's special way of 'cooking' made Zhang Fei curious, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"
"Uncle, this is cold broad beans. Ziyu said it tastes good with wine. This is the first time I have seen this method." Gan Qian said with a smile.
Guan Yu didn't like to talk much. He picked up one and threw it into his mouth, then nodded and affirmed: "It is indeed quite tasty. Brother and younger brothers, you guys should try it too."
"Second brother taught me a lesson before, but now he strikes much faster than me."
Guan Yu:......
Broad beans go well with wine. Before the hot dishes were brought out, Liu, Guan, and Zhang had already drank several bowls with Ganji.
Not long after, the small table was filled with large and small plates, and Zhang Fei's mouth watered when he smelled the aroma of meat.
"Uncle, Ziyu, we three brothers are causing trouble today." After Lan Tian sat down, Liu Bei took the lead in picking up the wine bowl and said.
"We are all our own people. Xuande shouldn't be so outspoken. Let's eat while it's hot. Tian'er's craftsmanship is indeed good." Ganji greeted.
Guan Yu first picked up a piece of meat, chewed it twice and then stopped.
Liu Bei put down his wine glass and saw that he had a strange look on his face, so he asked: "Second brother, but the food is not to your taste?"
Guan Yu shook his head and continued chewing, then sighed and said: "Brother, Guan has traveled all over the country for many years. I have only seen Ziyu's craftsmanship in his life. It is indeed delicious..."
"Second brother, you can eat as long as you want, but you talk so much. Third brother, I don't have as much insight as you." Zhang Fei ate a lot of meat and drank a lot of wine, and had no time to comment on the delicious food.
When Liu Bei saw that the two brothers were enjoying themselves, he raised his wine bowl to indicate that he and Lan Tian could drink together, and then he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Thinking of the expressions of the people in the countryside showing their harvest, and looking at the delicious food on the table, Liu Bei suddenly became envious of this young farmer.
Zhang Fei had the most fun drinking at the Gan family's harvest feast.
When the cups and plates were in a mess, Guan Yu reminded: "Third brother, please don't drink anymore. We will have to go back to the camp to train in a while."
"What are you training for...what soldiers are you training for? Didn't you say that you have no chance to attack Xiapi by surprise? Ah..." Zhang Fei said with drunken eyes.
Ganji was also a little drunk. He looked at Liu Bei with empty eyes and asked: "Xuande is going to fight Lu Bu again? When will Xuzhou be able to stabilize..."
"I have too few troops now, how can I possibly provoke Lu Bu?" Liu Bei explained.
"General Yide said he was going to attack Xiapi secretly..." Ganji asked.
"I just got the news that Yuan Shu has raised troops to attack Xiapi. Third brother, he is just drunk and talking nonsense..." Liu Bei said.
Ganji nodded and said: "If that's the case, that's fine. The people of Xiaopei can't afford it, but will Lu Bu ask you for help?"
"Probably not..."
"Father, Lu Bu's method of Xia Pi is not honorable. I'm afraid everyone is on guard against General Liu at this time, so why would you ask him to save you? I think you are a little drunk. Can I help you back to your room to rest first?" Lan Tian said
.
After Lan Tian helped Gan Ji up, a gust of south wind blew in. Gan Ji's back felt cold as the alcohol gradually faded away. He remembered that he and Liu Bei were talking about military affairs just now, so he followed him into the house with a blushing face.
When Lantian came out after settling down Ganji, he saw Guan Yu supporting Zhang Fei and seemed to be preparing to leave.
"You two siblings have worked hard today. I still have a lot of military affairs in the city, so I will take my third brother back first. Madam, you can come back by yourself when you are done."
"Well...I'll help clean up and then go back..."
Liu Bei and the others turned around and were about to leave when Gan Qian suddenly stopped him, "Husband, please wait a moment."
"What's the matter, ma'am?"
"Ziyu, you have analyzed the situation very thoroughly. In your opinion, can Yuan Shu defeat Lu Bu? If Lu Bu is defeated, Xiaopei will also be in danger..." Yuan Shu pursued Liu Bei fiercely before, which made Gan Qian not worry.
Lan Tian looked at the couple and said to himself, Sister, you are forcing me to speak.
Guan Yu on the side was also watching Lan Tian, ​​and he also wanted to know what the young man would say.
"Who does Yuan Shu send as general? How many soldiers and horses are there?" Lan Tian asked.
"I heard from Tan Ma that the generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, as well as Han Siam, Yang Feng and other troops are assisting in the battle. There are tens of thousands of horse infantry, which is several times more than Lu Bu's troops." Liu Bei said.
After hearing this, Lan Tian laughed and said: "General, go back with peace of mind. Yuan Shu's army will be defeated in this battle..."
"Why is Ziyu so sure?" Guan Yu asked puzzledly.
"One army is difficult to defeat, but many are easy to defeat. Yuan Shu's troops, Han Siam, and Yang Feng may not be of the same mind. I predict that Lu Bu will use the alienation plan to defeat the enemy. There will be news back in ten months."
Guan Yu and Liu Bei were startled after hearing this. In addition to farming, this guy also has knowledge about using troops?
"If it is as Ziyu said, we three brothers will come to see you for a drink again, so we'll take our leave now."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he left with Guan Zhang. As they walked on the road, Guan Yu couldn't help but said: "Brother, Lan Ziyu said that Lu Bu can use tricks to alienate people, will Lu Bu also use tricks?"
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Ziyu should be talking about Chen Gong, Lu Bu should have no strategy..."
At this time, Zhang Fei was drunk and his eyes were blurred. He was half drunk and half awake. He accidentally heard his two brothers saying that Lu Bu was using tricks. Then he turned his head and muttered: "What slaves with three surnames know how to use tricks? If Lu Bu can,
If you are so clever, then I, Zhang Fei, will do embroidery."
