In the spring of March, there are beautiful scenes of orioles flying and grass growing, but in the cold winter months, there is also the joy of winter.
Surrounding the stove, eating hot pot, looking at Xiaoxue, and listening to little songs.
Home, no matter what, can always bring warmth, and it is a pure land that will always be in the heart of a wanderer.
Fei Qian and his family are eating Qiang boiled food today.
Qiang cooking is a good thing, many people think so, especially Pang Tong.
When Fei Qian was in Chang'an before, Pang Tong went to Fei Qian's house to have a meal. He either wanted to eat Qiang boiled food or barbecued meat. It seemed to be the same every time, with few exceptions.
Qiang Zhu is hot pot. "Qiang Zhu" is boiled mutton, and "Qian Zhi" is roasted whole lamb.
Because in the Han Dynasty, the meal sharing system was implemented, and Qiang cooking was done in a circle, those who pay attention to etiquette thought this behavior was too "Qiang" and not "Han" at all, so they were very repelled at one time.
However, when sharing meals, the distance is far, and then you have to thank this, thank that, respect this, and respect that. The more casual Qiang cooking is undoubtedly closer to the dining atmosphere of later generations, and Fei Qian also prefers it.
It's just that Pang Tong didn't come for Qiang cooking today.
Although Fei Qian asked Zhang Shi to go to Hedong to investigate the reselling of ordnance, it does not mean that he can completely let Zhang Shi go, so some other arrangements are needed. Pang Tong just went to do it, otherwise according to the character of this fat black man
, even if Fei Qian, Huang Yueying, Cai Yan and others were eating together, Pang Tong would come over carelessly...
In fact, this is normal. Fei Qian and Pang Tong actually not only have a superior-subordinate relationship, they even have a brotherly relationship, and they also have a tangled relationship. Anyway, it is very complicated and very close.
Shabu-shabu mutton is quite simple. Just a hot pot, a few green onions, one or two slices of ginger, and a pot of water. The hotpot is the original mutton, cabbage and tofu, plus various other ingredients.
Plenty and frugality come from people.
But just like governing a country, everyone knows how to do it, but how it is done is like Qiang cooking. It looks simple, but it is not easy to pay attention to it.
The first is the mutton.
Although there are some spices in Feiqian now, the mutton boiled is still fresh, and the marinated mutton does not have the word "fresh", so you can put some spices for dipping, but it cannot overwhelm the main thing, so in terms of mutton quality, first of all
It should be as fresh as possible.
In later generations, frozen products were mainly used, but here in Feiqian, they were killed on the spot...
Of course, some people say that mutton that has been de-acidified will taste better, but that is only a partial understanding. Just like everything is not absolute, de-acidification is not absolute either, because the meat will produce acid because the body dies.
The oxygen generated does produce lactic acid and other substances, but the meat is slaughtered on-site without even giving the meat time to produce lactic acid, so how can it eliminate acid?
Therefore, the Qiang boiled food that Fei Qian ate today is actually somewhat similar to the hot pot in Chaoshan area in later generations.
In addition, the mutton-shabu-shabu in later generations is generally frozen meat cut by machines. Although it is said to be thin enough, in fact, because the fat and thinness are different, the cooking speed in boiling water is also different, and the meat slices are cut by hand.
, the cook will not necessarily pursue a very thin cut method according to the fatness of the mutton. The better the meat quality, the thicker it can be cut. Only when the mutton is cooked in the pot will it not only have the tenderness of later generations, but also be able to taste something that will never be seen in later generations.
Fragrant, and crispy on the tendons...
In addition, what Fei Qian was eating was snow sheep, and the taste...
forget it. I'm done here.
Anyway, the whole family gets together to have fun.
During this time, Chang'an Sanfu was quite lively, but it also made Huang Yueying a little worried. Although Fei Qian, Pang Tong and others had made arrangements, Huang Yueying didn't know much about it, so even if Pang Tong was relieved, it was inevitable that he would be a little worried.
Explanation, after meeting Fei Qian, they complained for a while, and complained for a while. It was not until Fei Qian said that Mr. Huang was preparing to come to Chang'an that he diverted Huang Yueying's attention...
The most important thing for Mr. Huang to come to Chang'an is to avoid possible wars in the future. After all, although Jingzhou is said to have come to an end for the time being, the conflicts between the east and west of the Han Dynasty have not been fundamentally alleviated, and there will definitely be disputes in the future, and even
There will be a bigger war, and Wancheng is the front line. No one can guarantee whether it will be foolproof next time.
From another perspective, although there are Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui under Fei Qian, these two people are obviously not as close as Huang Chengyan, and the friendship between Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui can also ensure that they can influence Sima Hui to a certain extent.
Attitudes and behaviors, to a certain extent, Huang Chengyan's arrival will also strengthen Fei Qian's voice among the older generation, thereby better promoting the implementation of the decree.
But for a family, there are too many things that need to be dealt with if they relocate, so Huang Chengyan is currently in Wuguan and will have to wait for a while before coming to Chang'an.
At the moment, the most important thing for Fei Qian in the inner house is actually Cai Yan’s pregnancy and care. It seems that the baby will be born around February. For Cai Yan, who has a relatively indifferent personality, the baby is still pregnant.
Her life seems to have added a lot of maternal brilliance to her. Even when she saw Fei Qian, she smiled faintly. She didn't pay as much attention and care to Fei Qian as before, which made Fei Qian somewhat uncomfortable.
Of course, this is the best. If Cai Yan still has to take care of everything and worry about everything, Fei Qian will not allow it, which is not good.
Sometimes Fei Qian thinks that it is actually very important to choose the right wife, otherwise the harem drama will begin as soon as he returns home. Several or a group of women will talk about Zhen Huan's body, and they will do this at all times, or else they will
If you do that, then the emperor will not only have to face the troublemaking ministers and powerful men in the front court, but also face a few random messes in the harem, and he will also have to worry about whether he will get a green thumb...
Historically, many high-ranking officials were able to be cruel and merciless to their political opponents, but they were often tormented by their own wives and children. For example, when you became an official, there would be a lot of relatives who would come to seek refuge with you, and they would be loyal to you.
It seems that we must support them, feed them, clothe them, and find a way out for them. Whenever someone in the family comes to ask for money, they must give it. If you give them less, they will be scolded.
It means that this person has forgotten his roots and ancestors, is ruthless, unreasonable and unreasonable, and this in turn has been conveyed to the ears of the supervisory censor. Even if he becomes bald, he will not be able to become an official.
Of course, there are many people who want to be upright officials. They have nothing to do and cannot take care of so many people in their hometown. People in their hometown just think that he is stingy and stingy and forgets his ancestors. Then he is besieged by corrupt officials in the front, and he is pointed at the bridge of his nose and scolded by the people in his hometown behind.
Even betrayed by people in my hometown...
"So, if the clan members come, arrangements must be made, but they cannot be given casually..." Fei Qian helped Huang Yueying and Cai Yan scoop vegetables into their bowls, while not forgetting to scoop some for his own boy.
, and then at the end, I found that my own was gone, so I could only add new ones, then stared at the pot and kept explaining.
"Don't just eat meat!" Fei Qian turned his head and saw Fei Zhen secretly picking out the vegetables. He glared, "You must eat the vegetables too! Eat them all!"
Fei Zhen subconsciously glanced at Huang Yueying secretly, but was ignored by Huang Yueying. She could only bow her head and reluctantly picked up a small piece of vegetables and stuffed it into her mouth with a frown, like chewing wax.
generally.
Because of the fetus, Cai Yan didn't have a big appetite at every meal. He felt full after eating a little, but after a while he became hungry. When he saw that his bowl was full, he stopped Fei Qian from feeding more.
Eat one bite after another.
Huang Yueying pestered Fei Qian for a long time last night. She was radiant, in a good mood, and had a good appetite. Xili Hulu could eat vigorously and ignored the pitiful eyes of her children. She just stayed next to Fei Qian and stared at the pot while eating.
There is something else in it, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang...this, this is delicious..."
Fei Qian looked at Huang Yueying and felt that he couldn't rest assured at all, "Anyway, just remember that if anyone finds you, just bring them all to me. Don't make any decisions and give them randomly..."
Huang Yueying lit the ingredients in the pot, "I know! Look! It floats and is cooked! This, I want this!"
Snowflakes are falling, playing and fluttering.
……(￣３￣)a……
When Fei Qian and his family were eating Qiang boiled food, there were also several people sitting around and eating Qiang cooked food in Jizhou.
"Before Duke Cao entered Jingzhou, a certain person met Duke Cao and remonstrated with him. He bluntly said that Jingzhou was in great trouble and had many problems. He advised Duke Cao not to act lightly, but what?"
"This place in Jingzhou is the foundation for the Husband and Cavalry. In the past, when the Husband and Knight came from Duckweed, it was convenient for Jingzhou... What's more, the Jingxiang gentry clan often had marriages. The Huang family, Cai family, and Pang family were all relatives. Cao Cao
Even if the Duke wins Jingzhou, will these people be used or not? Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang..."
Qinghe County.
In the most luxurious restaurant in the county, the women who were in the room were singing and dancing to the music. Two middle-aged men in their forties each held wine glasses. They seemed to be looking at the dancer, but in fact they were.
Under the cover of the dance music, we talked to each other some words that were not convenient for others to hear.
"...Brother, I took office in the first year of Zhongping...Brother, I am not bragging. After taking office, I worked very hard on government affairs and did not dare to slack off...but I happened to encounter the Yellow Turban Thief!"
The middle-aged man on the left looked helpless, "I am not completely ignorant of military affairs. I have rectified defense, strictly enforced military discipline, repaired fortifications, found out about the Yellow Turban traitors, and formulated a strategy for blockade and suppression... But,
But the question is, how many soldiers can be used in a mere county? What about the Yellow Turban thieves? After defeating a few hundred people, thousands will come, and after defeating a few thousand, tens of thousands will come...
…』
"Brother, I fought off the Yellow Turban thieves three times! A total of three times! At that time, there were corpses on the top of the city... Even I almost died on the top of the city... ugh..."
The middle-aged man on the right handed over a glass of wine, "Don't think about that anymore, drink, drink."
"Hey, that's fine! Let's drink!"
The two of them greeted each other and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Brother, I also know that there is little point in rehashing these old accounts now... But the current society is in chaos, and so are the people's hearts. Some people even say that it would be better if Huang Tian changed the sky at that time!"
"This is too much! It's too much. You should be punished by drinking wine!"
"Well... a penalty of drinking is a penalty of drinking..."
The two of them had another drink, and then looked outside the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant is Qinghe's slightly dilapidated and dilapidated market place. Even the falling snow cannot completely cover up the dilapidation. Even the pedestrians on the road seem to have lost all their strength, leaving only one person.
A corpse-like body.
"Haha, when the Han Dynasty was there in the past, we thought that the Han Dynasty was incompetent and could not succeed in this world. What happened next? Mr. Yuan is the one who is expected by everyone... everyone is expecting him! What is the result? Haha... Now that Mr. Yuan is gone,
Duke Cao is here... The three troops and horses add up to almost 200,000, right? They were the ones who struck first, so what? What's going on?"
The middle-aged man on the left showed a sarcastic smile, "The land in Jingzhou is only two hundred thousand, and the result is a land in Jingbei. What next? As soon as the Qiusi came out of Wuguan, he was in a hurry
Negotiate peace, negotiate peace! There is more than just Jingzhou in this world! How many soldiers and horses are needed? How much food is needed? Just the land of Jingzhou is like this, what will happen to the world, and what will happen to the world? Is this world still the world of the Han Dynasty?"
The man on the right was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a long sigh. After a while, he took the wine bottle himself, drank several glasses in a row, and said in a low voice, "A big man will still be a big man after all..."
"Big man...hehe, big man..."
"Big man... Oooh, big man..."
Outside the window, it was snowing.
……(o′?□?`o)……
Snow was falling one after another. Wearing black and red court clothes and a heavy crown, Liu Xie stood on the high platform of the palace and watched the people in the distant market walking slowly in the snow.
If you are far away, you can't hear anything, you can only rely on your imagination.
Imagine what the common people of these big Han people said, did something, or were busy with something.
In the fourth year of Taixing, with the birth of new life, Liu Xie gradually moved from an ignorant boy to a young man...
Liu Xie has experienced many things in the past years.
Wind and snow, people's hearts.
Liu Xie was born in the chaos of the harem, but he was well protected by Empress Dowager Dong. Although Empress Dowager Dong said that she only had the instinct to protect her grandchildren and did not teach Liu Xie any skills to settle down, she also made Liu Xie lose his mother.
Liu Xie was not too miserable in his childhood...
All Liu Xie's tragedies began from that night.
The nightmare seems to have no end.
When Liu Xie was young, he had the impression that the big man was wealthy. After all, Liu Xie had no shortage of good clothing and food during his childhood...
But after that, everyone said that the big man was poor, in distress, and on the verge of destruction...
Even when Fei Qian took Liu Xie to the village and saw with his own eyes and tasted the food of the people, Liu Xie was still reluctant to believe it. He thought it was just the border of the Han Dynasty.
The place where the great Han Dynasty flourished should not be like this.
But when Liu Xie arrived in Xu County, he discovered that it was nothing more than that.
During his days in Xu County, he sometimes felt different kinds of gratitude and goodwill, but at the same time, there were also various malicious attacks, which were not even something Liu Xie could decide personally.
Ever since the emperor's brother was killed, Liu Xie has always had some doubts and worries about everyone in the world. This emotion has deeply penetrated into Liu Xie's bones. In fact, nothing has changed, and because
As current events changed, Liu Xie began to have to learn to face it more coldly and cruelly, even if it hurt others...
Just like his father, Emperor Xiaoling, even though he knew that Liu Xie's mother died unjustly and innocently, he still had to compromise...
Some things may be right, they may be wrong, or they may not be right or wrong at all.
At the beginning, Liu Xie didn't have much idea about the whole world, just like when he faced Dong Zhuo, he didn't feel the threat of death. In other words, he was fearless because of his ignorance.
However, as the situation in the world gradually became tense, the entire Han Dynasty continued to fall apart, and even now the entire Han Dynasty split into two parts, the east and the west, well, maybe it should be said three parts. Even though Sun Quan from Jiangdong came to the table and seemed to be surrendering, but
It's still just an attempt to stir up trouble, not a real desire to obey...
The original Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, the birthplace of Liu Xie, has now become a place separated from the east and west. Both Fei Qian and Cao Cao seem to have a tacit understanding of placing this area, just like in a picture.
The blank space is like an official in Go, just waiting for the future to leave some words.
So, is there a chance to take action now?
Until now, the Hussars have no intention of forcibly leaving the border, and there has never been a major conflict with Cao Cao. Even this year's confrontation in Jingzhou was only controlled to a certain extent, and there was no unrelenting attitude.
, which made Liu Xie feel a little disappointed after he felt relieved.
In Liu Xie's understanding of Fei Qian, Liu Xie's personal evaluation of him is quite high. Liu Xie believes that Qiusi is loyal to the country, worried about the national crisis, and considerate of the people. At critical moments, especially when Xiliang thieves are rampant, Liu Xie
At the time of the war, Fei Qian stood up and took responsibility, and did a good job, so Qiao Qi was worthy of being fought over and someone who could think things through clearly.
From a certain perspective, if Fei Qian and Cao Cao can completely surrender to Liu Xie, then the entire Han Dynasty will immediately settle down, the East and West of the Han Dynasty will no longer be separated, and Liu Xie can just serve as Fei Qian
The balancing rod, adjustments and negotiations between Cao Cao and Han Dynasty allowed the Han Dynasty to truly move towards the road of resurgence, just like what Liu Xie's ancestors did...
"Your Majesty..." Under the high platform, there was a report from Huangmen, "Iji Yizhonglang is here..."
Liu Xie turned around, looked at Yi Ji in the audience, and said, "Please!"
