14. It turns out that the main book is not something you can do if you want
As that day came to an end, there was another cohabitant in Li Shushi's life. Unfortunately, the person was not a beautiful woman, but a handsome man who fit the taste of a fujoshi.
Of course, Li Shushi would never let someone like Lu Bu, who could be called an animal, live at home, and even with his meager salary, Li Shushi probably couldn't afford to raise a "pet" as big as Lu Bu.
Of course, Li Shushi recommended Lu Bu to the old shopkeeper as a coolie, but looking at the old shopkeeper's reluctance and "scheme succeeded" look on Lu Bu's face, Li Shushi no longer knew what expression he should make.
Of course, having Xiao Qiang as a doorkeeper can still solve a lot of things. At least for a few days, the porter fees have been completely saved, and the store can add some business items with greater demand.
During this period, in order to calm down the old shopkeeper’s dissatisfaction and plaintive glances at Li Shushi, Li Shushi and Xiaoqiang Tongxie worked privately for a while, and finally successfully completed the production of two things - rough bamboo charcoal and simple distillation
device.
Then he used bamboo charcoal to absorb the impurities in the liquor, and then used a distillation device for simple distillation. Finally, he got a finished product with a mellow taste. However, Li Shushi cheated on a lot of good liquor bought by the old shopkeeper, which directly caused the old shopkeeper to buy it.
The shopkeeper has to do it himself every time he buys wine.
The effect of the gift was extraordinary. The distilling utensils were confiscated from the grocery store in the name of "protection". The work of burning bamboo charcoal was also handed over to charcoal workers who specialize in burning charcoal for heating for nobles. The old shopkeeper spent a few days with a
With a smile on his face, Lu Xiaoqiang seemed to have gotten what he needed, and his ice-cold face became sunny. However, Li Shushi had no interest in the private insider trading between Xiaoqiang and the old shopkeeper.
The current Lu Bu is not the invincible warrior who later held Fang Tian's painted halberd and a red rabbit on his crotch. Although he practices martial arts diligently now, he is just a wooden stick with an iron spear head hooped on it. Lu Bu's moves are
Li Shushi seems to be even more simple and clear. The back and forth is just a few actions of stabbing, picking, entangling, smashing and pulling back and forth. Now Lu Bu can be summed up in one word: rough jade, a piece of uncarved jade.
In fact, what even a layman like Li Shushi could see, couldn't Lu Bu, a martial arts prodigy, see it? However, it is hard to find masters these days, and there are even fewer masters who are willing to teach apprentices, and even fewer are willing to accept apprentices.
There are very few people who can teach.
So Lu Bu's martial arts skills so far were all learned from life and death fights on the battlefield and observing the hunting movements of various ferocious beasts. But even so, he was still able to grow to be the best in the Three Kingdoms, which shows that he
His talent is so amazing.
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the weather became a little restless. Just when Li Shushi was reading Sun Tzu's Art of War boredly with a big cattail leaf fan, the old shopkeeper's unique penetrating voice rushed out.
"Lu Fengxian, come here."
Lu Bu, who was chopping wood for his wife at the door, immediately dropped his ax and ran into the inner hall.
"Xiao Lizi, keep an eye on the shop. Feng and I will go to the mountains to collect some wild animals first."
Wild things, good things, good things. Li Shushi’s unsatisfactory saliva once again unconsciously stayed. It is said that ever since the old shopkeeper wanted to eat the popular delicacy: Qiang Boiled on a whim one day, Li Shushi had never dreamed of it.
The happy life I imagined has arrived.
Qiang boil, to put it bluntly, is actually the predecessor of today's shabu-shabu hot pot. The Qiang people put the deer heads that are not easy to handle into a large pot and boil them, then take them out and drain them into water, and cut the deer head meat into two-inch-wide strips.
, and finally eat it with hot pot dipping sauce made of minced pork and various seasonings.
Li Shushi's Qiang cooking is much more complicated than that of the Qiang people. At least his hot pot has a pot bottom made of Evodia, cardamom, tangerine peel and black beans. It is made from flax, leeks, salt and Evodia that were dug out from the old shopkeeper.
Chive-like sauce and garlic
Garlic sauce mixed with soybean paste and a little vinegar. This taste made Lu Bu bite his tongue when he ate Li's Qiang cooking for the first time. The old shopkeeper's robe was covered with various soup and oil spots.
With the current level of cleaning agents, I'm afraid the only result is scrapping.
From then on, the old shopkeeper often went hunting on various hills outside the city, euphemistically saying that he was concerned about the size of the little plum. Later, he may feel that the weight of hunting alone was not enough, so from time to time he would drag Lu Bu in as a helper.
But looking at his increasingly "thick" body, Li Shushi felt that it was time for him to consider exercise.
In the evening, as usual, a sumptuous meal was served in the backyard of the grocery store. Qiang boiled and roasted, which were delicacies of the ethnic minorities around the Han Dynasty in ancient times. Lu Bu, who had lived on the grasslands for a long time, also had a different understanding of barbecue, although it was not as good as Li Shushi, who had inherited a thousand years of diners.
The essence of hot pot, but it also has a unique flavor. Paired with a pot of strong wine and a tune of public opinion, the joy of Nongong can be heard in the whole yard.
"Okay, I will be out for a longer time this time, so you and Fengxian need to take care of the store. Be careful with everything, and ask your neighbors for advice if you don't understand. Do you understand?"
The old shopkeeper was leaving again, and judging from the number of drinks in his backpack, he might have to leave for a long time this time. However, Li Shushi secretly took a look at Lu Bu, who was trying to hold out his chest, and felt that the old shopkeeper was making a fuss out of a molehill.
.Of course, Li Shushi was very touched by this deep concern.
The old shopkeeper left, and Li Shushi once again fell into a boring situation. He didn't feel it on weekdays, but now that the old shopkeeper has left, there is no one to quarrel and joke with him anymore, and Li Shushi feels a little lonely.
"Huh... ha..." Li Shushi believed that Xiaoqiang would never agree with what he said, because since the old shopkeeper left, Xiaoqiang would practice martial arts in the backyard every day unless Li Shushi assigned him work. In addition to eating, drinking, and defecating, he would practice martial arts in the backyard. Compared to
Li Shushi is an amateur who only exercises to lose weight, but Xiaoqiang is really working hard to hone his martial arts skills.
But for some reason, Li Shushi always felt that Xiaoqiang's recent martial arts seemed to be a little more sophisticated. But every time he thought about this, he shook his head with a wry smile. Maybe it was because he was bored and his brain began to hallucinate.
During this period of eating, drinking and playing around, the relationship between Li Shushi and Lu Bu has made great progress. Although I have some doubts about how much water was poured into it by Suzaku, I have to admit that Lu Bu is indeed a charming man.
He may not be a qualified politician, but he is indeed an excellent soldier.
But why does Li Shushi feel like he always thinks of a certain super-popular beauty with a hot figure and terminal illness when looking at Lu Bu recently?
"Hey, Lu Bu, what did you do before coming here?" Li Shushi's gossip fire began to burn brightly. Well, this is also a good way to kill boring time.
"I once worked as a horse thief on the grasslands of Bingzhou for a while, but later I got a family, so I changed my ways and took my brothers to obey the orders of Governor Ding."
"But Cavalry Commander Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang?" Bagua wants to dig up the soil bit by bit.
"Yes, Governor Ding said he was the Governor of Bingzhou, but he has never been to Jinyang City. I heard that it was because his predecessor, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, had a high reputation at this time, and there were many people who were dissatisfied."
No wonder Ding Yuan wanted to win over Lu Bu. It turned out to be Dong Fei's fault.
"Then with your hands, you should be able to be reused by Governor Ding?" The gossip officially began.
"Indeed, Governor Ding originally planned to recommend me to be the chief clerk, but it's a pity..."
Huh? Listening to the meaning of Lu Bu's words, he still wants to be the chief registrar. I remember that many people thought that the reason why Lu Bu rebelled against Ding Yuan was that this cowardly chief registrar played a big role.
"What's the point of being a chief clerk? Your martial arts are so good, but having your head buried in a desk all day is not what you're good at."
"You don't understand this. The chief clerk is said to be the assistant in charge of documents, but that's all. If you really don't want to do it, just leave the work to the governors below. Just check it when necessary.
That's enough. The most important thing is that being able to be appointed as the chief registrar proves that you are the closest person to you in the eyes of your superiors."
Li Shu said honestly, as expected, the hands-off shopkeeper is the best, there are a few people like Zhuge Liang who must personally do everything, and governing from the top down is the right way.
"Then why didn't you get accepted?" You must not take your face into account at this time.
"It's better to say this in a low tone. The other party's family is very powerful. It is said that they had a close relationship with the former Governor Dong. This time, if I send my young master to Governor Ding, it will be much easier for Governor Ding to take over Bingzhou."
"Who has so much energy?" Li Shushi was very curious. It couldn't be someone from the Wang family in Taiyuan. Speaking of which, Wang Yun, a wasteful guy, should be the governor of Yuzhou now.
"Mayi Zhang Liao." There was no resentment in Lu Bu's words, and he seemed to have a good impression of Zhang Liao.
"Huh? What kind of place is Mayi? How can a small family in such a small place have any terrifying energy?" Although Li Shushi knew Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao's future achievements, for now, let's forget it.
"Haha, then you underestimate Zhang Wenyuan too much."
