Chapter 119 How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!
Qin Luoheng only knows how to cook home-cooked meals.
He worked in the kitchen for a long time, stir-fried a bowl of cabbage and grilled fish.
That's all.
He served the two of them food.
Looking at the polished rice in the bowl, Lang couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Qin, you have eaten so extravagantly today."
"This is Japonica rice."
"I can only eat it on special occasions like that."
Speaking of this, Lang suddenly paused and said suspiciously: "Isn't the crispy rice you eat for lunch also made of japonica rice?"
Qin Luoheng nodded.
Lang immediately couldn't accept it.
He only eats japonica rice a few times a year, but Qin Luoheng only eats it once a year. Why is there such a big gap between people?
The essential.
Qin Luoheng was a dead man before!
aside.
Fen was also confused and said:
"Brother Qin, did you use this to eat in the past?"
Fenfen raised two small sticks.
Qin Luoheng reacted immediately and stood up to get two sets of knives and forks. He was used to using chopsticks, but he forgot that Lang Hefen was used to using knives and forks.
In this era, knives, forks and spoons were basically used.
The upper class also likes to use their hands.
Especially when it comes to eating meat, almost everyone gets started.
Of course, this is mainly related to the meat eaten. The meat during this period was mainly beef, mutton and dog meat, and it would take a big pot to cook.
Naturally, eating with your hands is more enjoyable.
But ordinary people cannot afford to eat too much meat.
Qin Luoheng handed the knife and fork to the two of them.
Then he said:
"I'm used to using chopsticks."
“The main thing is that it’s easier to pick up fish with chopsticks.”
Said.
Qin Luoheng demonstrated.
Seeing this, Lang Hefen also gave it a try.
However, it was a bit of torture for them to use chopsticks. After trying it for a while, they gave up and cut a large piece of the fish with a knife, put it into their own bowls, and ate it with their hands.
There is no particular emphasis on food appearance.
Qin Luoheng smiled and shook his head.
He doesn't care.
This is how the Master ate fish back then.
He's used to it.
After taking a bite of fish, Lang Hefen's eyes lit up.
Debone the fish in several bites and eat it.
After eating, Lang wiped his mouth and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Qin, your fish tastes so fragrant. It's better than what I cook. It makes me appetite."
"Japonica rice and fish meat."
"The food the doctors eat is nothing more than this, right?"
"I'm going to have a big meal today."
Lang planed a few mouthfuls of rice and continued to cut the fish.
Qin Luoheng also couldn't laugh or cry.
but.
His skill in cooking grilled fish is quite good.
The main thing is that the chili pepper is flavorful enough.
Lang Hefen ate soup and rice at home, which was low in oil and salt. Suddenly eating such a delicious grilled fish naturally opened up his taste buds.
soon.
The two of them finished the whole fish in a hurry.
Each of them also ate three bowls of white rice.
After eating, Lang leaned comfortably on the table, patted his round belly through his clothes, and sighed: "After such a good meal, it would be great if I could drink some wine. I have grown so big, and I have a total of
I only drank it two or three times, and the millet wine was really enjoyable."
Lang licked his lips, his face full of aftertaste.
He also hummed a little tune.
"Whether you are drunk or not, it is not Jiang Han Miao (yi)."
"You can't return home after being drunk, and you'll be half dead at night."
"It's fun to drive, but it's not the end of the world before the rooster crows."
"..."
Fen Fen burped.
Choking and saying:
"Forget it if you drink. There are regulations in Tian'an law that prohibit drinking casually. If you are found out, you will be guilty."
Qin Dynasty wine is considered a luxury product.
Common people generally have no chance to drink alcohol.
"Shang Jun Shu·Ken Ling": Expensive wine and meat prices, high rent, order ten times the simplicity.
Shang Yang advocated increasing the price of wine and meat tenfold, which was similar to the heavy tax imposed on tobacco and alcohol in later generations. The tax was outrageous.
The Qin Dynasty strictly prohibited alcohol.
It can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Qin Luoheng has no interest in wine.
The wine at this time was made from millet, so it was also called millet wine. However, it was not very tasty. It was not as strong as the white wine of later generations, and it also had a sweetness, which was actually similar to the fruit wine of later generations.
This kind of wine is often mixed with impurities and needs to be filtered, so it is called "turbid wine". Because this wine has many impurities and sugar, it will easily become sour once it is left for a long time, so it is not easy.
Store.
In order to avoid food waste, the Qin Dynasty directly announced a ban on alcohol.
Private brewing is also prohibited.
The laws of the fields stipulate that those who live in the fields are not allowed to drink alcohol, and those who are stingy in the fields are strictly forbidden by the subordinates. Anyone who disobeys the order will be guilty.
Therefore, people in the Qin Dynasty could only drink wine secretly for fear of being discovered and reported, but it was not true that they could not gather in groups to drink. Qin laws stipulated that it was allowed on the first day of the first lunar month (i.e., the first day of October) and the December Festival.
Drinking in public.
after all.
The Chinese New Year is always about relaxing.
But no matter how much the government bans it, the people are always happy to drink.
Therefore, many people are caught drinking every year.
Qin Luoheng was not interested in this rice wine, which was as light as a drink.
However, he actually brewed wine privately, but the wine hasn't been moved here yet.
Sit for a while.
Lang Hefen also went home carrying his bookcase.
After seeing the two of them off, Qin Luoheng packed up the dishes, locked the door with a guan (yue), carried his bookcase, and headed towards Lishan Mountain.
He won't live here for the time being.
First, he hasn't finished moving his things.
Secondly, he was worried that Chief Qin would not be able to find him if he moved away, so he planned to stay in Lishan for a few more days.
Return to Lishan.
It's completely dark now.
He used flint to light the ointment in the house.
Looking at the slightly empty house, he also sighed secretly.
He went to the study, put the bamboo slips he was going to take away tomorrow into the bookcase, then went to the cellar to get a bottle of fine wine, and walked towards the Confucius' tomb not far away.
Put the lamp under your feet.
Looking at the wordless tombstone in front of me.
Qin Luoheng said:
"Master, the student did not do what you expected."
"Not only have I become a native of Qin, but I have also received a title. Now I have settled in Xianyang. I am afraid that my time here will become less and less in the future."
"Master's wedding banquet."
"The student brought a bottle to the Master."
"The Master taught the students a lot of truths, and also repeatedly ordered the students not to enter the temple. However, the students let the Master down. The students were not as open-minded as the Master and could completely stay away from the secular world. Now the students have fallen deeper and deeper into the secular world."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The students have no complaints."
"When I was a young man in bright clothes and angry horses, I lived up to my youth and knew it."
"Students don't know what their future destiny will be, but living in this bright world, if they blindly give up to protect themselves, it is really difficult for students to convince themselves."
"Here we go..."
"It may be difficult for students to escape."
"I only hope that my master's spirit in heaven can bless my students."
"Let students be able to show their abilities and apply what they have learned in this grand world that is about to come, so that the world will be less carnage and more peaceful."
"Students toast to Confucius wine."
Qin Luoheng uncorked the wine and poured the clear wine in front of the tomb.
Drinks flowed everywhere.
It soon submerged into the land.
Qin Luoheng leaned forward and waited for the wine in the bottle to be poured out. He placed the wine bottle in front of the tomb, bowed three times towards the tomb, and said softly: "Master, the student has left."
Finished.
He also left without looking back.
At this time.
Suddenly the wind picked up.
The wind blew the ends of his clothes.
It seemed as if she was reaching out to hold him back, and also seemed to be helping him organize his clothes for the trip.
The sound of sobs filled the air.
only......
Qin Luoheng has gone far.
The sound of the wind is still there.
After whistling for a while, the wind gradually stopped.
It’s just that the wine bottle that was originally standing upright fell down at some point, and a crystal drop of water hung from the mouth of the bottle. I don’t know if it was the unfinished wine in front, or the water condensed when the wind blew...
Return to the house.
The night is already very deep.
Qin Luoheng did not read as usual.
He lit a fire and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Early May (February).
Spring plowing.
Farmers in Yingchuan County are plowing the fields.
Since the First Emperor ordered the renovation of the Sichuan Fang Cao Canal, Yingchuan's farming has improved greatly, and the harvest has been increasing every year.
It's noon.
The farmers in the fields beside the road were also working tirelessly to trim the borders of the fields. Everyone else was working very hard, but there was only one young man. Although he was standing in the field, he was staring blankly at the distance.
Taishi Mountain.
There is no thought of working at all.
An old man working beside the field for a while straightened up, but when he saw this young man standing still, he lowered his voice and said, "Chen Sheng, the boss just left, so you are planting trees. Be careful and you will be punished!"
Chen Sheng said angrily:
"You still have to work hard to farm the land."
"You really have lived so many years in vain."
"This is not my own land, so my hard work is in vain."
The old man whispered:
"Shut up, you don't want to die?"
"If the master craftsman hears this, he must be trained."
Immediately, the old man looked around and saw that there was no one on the field road, so he gasped and said loudly: "Second and Third Son, the boss is not here, let's take a break and drink some water. I have been working for a long time and I don't even dare to drink any water.
I beg you if I am really tired to death."
"The boss, the boss, is always watching from the front."
"Your mother is a maid!"
The father-in-law just finished speaking.
Tian Choujian instantly straightened up his spine one after another...
These farmers picked up the sweat towels hanging on their arms, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, shouted loudly, and walked towards the big trees in the field without slowing down.
There is a well platform there.
While walking.
These farmers were also chatting.
"If this is my own farmland, it will definitely have a good harvest this year, but in the end, it will all be farmed by the farm owner, and you are my maidservant!"
"My own farmland? I'm afraid I'll be dreaming about it in the next life too."
"Well, it's all in vain. Who doesn't have acres of land in his name? But the harvest falls into our hands? I thought that when the Qin people came, our life would be better, but the result is the same."
“We are still the ones doing the work!”
Hearing that these juniors were getting more and more dangerous as they talked, the father-in-law quickly scolded: "Young juniors, why don't you just say a few words? Do you have to talk to others?"
"If the mastermind finds out, he will have to accuse me."
At this time.
Chen Sheng suddenly said: "If I become rich in the future, I will never forget you, and then you will not work for others."
He just finished speaking.
There was a burst of laughter all around.
The old man glanced at Chen Sheng, shook his head and said, "You work as a farm servant for others, so why talk about wealth? You need to finish your field first."
The others laughed and said: "If you lazy guy could become rich, wouldn't we already be extremely rich?"
Chen Sheng said coldly: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
The farmers around him laughed even louder.
The old man didn't laugh, he just sighed and shook his head and said: "This young man Chen Sheng is really crazy, crazy."
With Chen Sheng having fun, the others were in high spirits.
They went to the well, shook the windlass, lifted water from the well, and then drank directly from the big wooden bucket. As for the much-ridiculed Chen Sheng, he sat alone, lost in thought, seeming to be thinking.
What are you wearing?
When it was almost time to rest, the old man said, "Have you had enough to drink? You have to work hard later in the evening. As for that kid, teach him to dream on his own."
"Leave him."
Hear the words.
The surroundings are also full of joyful atmosphere.
