“Eating hot pot, eating hot pot, I like eating hot pot the most in winter~”
The person who said this was not Li Shushi, but a very cute little loli.
"Ying'er, don't run around. There are many dangerous stoves here. If you don't pay attention, you will get burned."
Behind Loli is a young man with a helpless smile, but if you look confidently, you will find that the young man's eyes are full of doting and caring.
"Ouch~ It hurts! But Ying'er won't cry, because Brother Jia doesn't like girls who cry casually, so Ying'er won't cry!"
Although she finally bumped into someone else because she was too lively, her forehead was obviously red, and the corners of her eyes were full of tears, but the little loli surprisingly did not let the tears flow down from the corners of her eyes, crying out in pain while giving herself
The cheering look is really cute.
"Hmm, if Ying'er doesn't cry, good Ying'er won't cry. Come on, let me give you a blowjob."
"Humph~ Don't give your brother-in-law a chance to kidnap Ying'er. You already have a sister and you still have evil intentions towards me. It's too bad!"
"Well, as expected, this kind of ghost and spirit is suitable for serving you as a filial piety. It should be said that one thing brings another thing down."
"Oh~ Master, does he also admit that he is the one who was surrendered?"
"Are you sure that what you just said will not fall into the ears of an adult?"
"Master, you are making excuses for yourself (Wow! Don't eat Ying'er, Ying'er doesn't taste good!)...I was wrong!"
Therefore, even if she is a ghostly Loli or a more elfin prodigal, she can only surrender in the hands of Su Xiaololi.
Today is not a holiday. It is just an ordinary day in winter.
If there was anything different between today and the past, it would probably be that a few bits of pure white snow fell from the sky.
Sitting around the kotami table, watching the steaming soup boiling in the brazier, admiring the winter snow scene, occasionally playing a song or composing a poem when inspiration comes, letting the girl's figure sway in the lyrics and music.
, it is indeed a beautiful enjoyment.
Put aside the fatigue accumulated between papers, put aside the fatigue accumulated in the barracks, and indulge in the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and delicious food. Let the hot heat spread from the mouth to the limbs and bones. This feeling is indeed a wonderful feeling.
The scale of this banquet was quite grand. Not only Li Shushi's civil and military officials and their families were invited, but also the powerful patriarchs of the aristocratic families in Jinyang City, as well as businessmen traveling between Bingshuo and the surrounding areas. There were also some
The leader of a foreign tribe who was close to Bingzhou. So many people crowded the originally spacious state pastoral palace to the brim.
Huang Zhong, who had done a great job in Shuozhou, came. Zhang Xiu, who was becoming more and more mature in Hedong, came, and Huangfu Song, who had been staying at the Military Academy except for participating in Li Shushi's public memorial event for Lu Zhi, came and traveled to and from medicine.
The Japanese law deductions from the courtyard and the library also came. Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Qu Yi, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yan, Zhong Yao, Xun You, Hu Zhao... all gathered here.
As a result, what was originally just a relatively large gathering without any special significance turned into what it is now.
The bigger the forest is, the more birds there will be. Naturally, when there are more people, countless large and small circles will be formed.
The circle of men, the circle of women; the circle of civil servants, the circle of generals; the circle of old people, the circle of young people...
Everyone can always find like-minded partners to talk about topics that interest them.
Except Li Shushi.
After all, as the host, Li Shushi seems to be qualified to participate in any circle, and it seems that he must participate. Even if he only shows up a few times, the etiquette at this kind of banquet is indispensable, not to mention that he is not pure today.
Do you want to find someone to eat and drink with you, or do you need to take this opportunity to accomplish some expected goals?
"Deduced, what is the status of the livestock in the northern grasslands this year, and whether the plague that broke out in the past two years has subsided."
"My lord, thanks to the skill of Mrs. Su and Miss Luo, after eating the feed mixed with the special medicine they developed, the ability of various livestock to resist diseases has been greatly improved. If there is more abundant forage in the future,
, it is not a problem to triple the size of various livestock species. Even now, the survival rate of lambs is much higher than before."
"I know this. Mr. Sun from the medical school told me now that it is being spread throughout the medical school that you, a great shaman on the grassland, neglected the important work of worshiping ancestors and instead became a veterinarian.
And he plans to change his profession to become a witch doctor."
"Have you heard about this, sir? It is deduced that I am already old, and my youthful ambitions have been completely extinguished after I was defeated by you. I was still a little hesitant, not knowing what else I could do with this residual body.
But the adults pointed out a clear path for Deduction. First, let Deduction teach young people the knowledge and wisdom that belongs to the elderly, and then let Deduction participate in the work of improving livestock. I am a child of the grassland, and I understand the hearts of the grassland people.
, their wishes.
You know, my favorite thing to do when I was a kid, apart from learning the strange things left by the elders in the tribe, was to count the newly born livestock with a group of children. One, two, three... always...
I don’t get tired of counting them. But what I don’t want to see the most is for every animal to die due to an unnecessary disaster. That will make me feel uncomfortable all day long.”
"Now you finally feel rich?"
"It's still far from it. Even the simplest man has ambitions deep down that ordinary people can't imagine. Let alone a shaman like me who has been in charge of an entire or even a vast territory."
"Why do I remember that a man just said that his ambition has been extinguished? Is he going to regret it so soon?"
"A man on the grassland will abandon his family in order to survive. A mere oath is insignificant compared to the continuation of the tribe. At most, he can use his own life to compensate for it."
"immediately?"
"If it is for the survival and development of the tribe, there is no problem even if it takes more than ten or twenty years."
"I'm desperate. I'm desperate for this unscrupulous prairie society! No way. You bastard, please bring back the prairie man who values trust, commitment and friendship in my heart!"
"There are idiots everywhere. But for most grassland people, compared with survival, there is almost nothing left that cannot be given up, even life, let alone things like integrity."
"So dignified, committed, brave..."
"If insisting on these can help the survival and development of the tribe, we will naturally insist on it. If not...hehe."
"Then what would happen if these methods spread to the tribes on the grassland?"
"I think even if we don't assume that this is bound to happen, or it has already happened."
"That's why I need to consult you."
"If you ask me, it will be that the strong will get stronger and the weak will get weaker. After all... the grassland is so big. There are only so many pastures."
"Is it really going to be like this? Forget it. As the deduction goes, just take care of those animals. After running around all your life, you have reached the age where you should enjoy happiness. Let the young people do those cruel things."
"Although I really want to say that I am not old yet. However, this may indeed be the best choice for me."
With Rilu as his surname and deduction as his name. If it weren't for his appearance that was quite different from the Han people in the Central Plains, this Xianbei veteran who followed Tan Shihuai would now be like an ordinary Han old man. In his free time, he is not spending time with his grandchildren.
Playing means holding a book in hand and studying it carefully. Occasionally, I will pick up a pen and smear a few pieces of paper with content that ordinary people cannot understand.
Perhaps the only thing that was different was that the old man seemed to have a great interest in raising livestock as he said, so much so that even from a few blocks away, one could hear the noise coming from his mansion.
The sound of coming animals.
Unlike Ma Yuan's descendants who specialize in raising pigs, this old man has a much broader mind. Whether it is the previous war horses and cattle, or the slightly inferior pigs and sheep, as long as they pass through the hands of the old man, they can always get better results.
Harvest for ordinary people.
It is precisely for this reason that the Japanese law deduction has a very high reputation in Bingzhou - after all, with the powerful Han family and the military's enthusiasm for excellent war horses, the talent of the Japanese law deduction will naturally be highly praised, plus he is in
With his unique insights into arithmetic, even if he could not become a member of an aristocratic family, his family was still able to integrate into the upper class circles of Bingzhou.
There is no longer so much intrigue, and there is no need to worry about whether your suggestions will not be appreciated by the master or even be suspected. You can enjoy a comfortable residence, food that is far more exquisite than the prairie diet, and the fragrant spirits...
…
Li Shushi believes that even if there is a chance for Japanese law deduction to return to the grassland one day, he will never be a pure grassland man again.
Following his example, the Xianbei shamans and witch doctors who were once captives also started a new life in Bingzhou and even took root in this land, gradually integrating into the environment of this soil.
As for the soldiers who were captured as slaves, the Central Plains' far more comfortable environment than the grasslands was a great attraction to them.
Just as the Japanese law deduction said, the people of the grasslands are undoubtedly as shrewd in their survival calculations as the people of the Central Plains.
Culture and wealth, this is a soft knife that kills without blood but is extremely easy to use!
at the same time……
"Wow~ Sister Diaochan's clothes are so beautiful~ Well, Sister Ying'er's clothes are also great, Ying'er likes them very much."
"It's really an enviable stitch. And the material is also surprising. It's so soft, but it's so warm. It's obviously two extremes from the thin Shu brocade, but when the two are combined, it's so warm.
coordination……"
"Mrs. Su, I wonder where Mr. Zhou Mu purchased these clothes. I also want to buy a few more for my daughter."
Similar sentiments, comments and inquiries continue to ring out in the women's circle, and in this circle, Su Xiaoluoli is undoubtedly the core and idol. Her skills and charm Li Shushi has no intention of commenting for a long time. Anyway, she is eighty years old.
From a young child who has just been weaned, Su Xiaololi always has a way to win the other person's favor and trust.
Perhaps only beings like Nero-chan and Saito who are incompatible with each other due to various reasons can barely resist it.
Well, it was indeed very reluctant. Didn't you see that Du En had been circling around the new clothes for a long time, and the twinkling stars in her eyes had already made Saito, who was inseparable from her, unable to help but cover his face with his hands.
It is said that Dune has been able to connect seamlessly without any time to adapt since she changed her gender. This almost made Saito, an old friend who had fought and fought countless times with her good friend, feel "comparison".
I feel like it’s really more suitable to be a woman as a man.”
So although it makes people speechless, it is a woman's nature to like beautiful clothes. Although she covered her face with her hands, she was still affected by the throbbing from the bottom of her heart. Saito couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
A gap is exposed so that the eyes can shine on those beautiful beings.
Of course, because it was just a gap, Saito did not see that the green-haired girl who was still circling around the beautiful clothes just now had her eyes returned to her, showing a certain look of relief.
As for the other ladies around, although they didn't chatter as much as the Loli girls, their eyes never left the pieces of clothing on display, and they were obviously very interested in this clothing display.
, the occasional inquiry is not at all about how the clothes are made, but more realistic information such as where to buy it and at what price.
However, these women are usually in charge of internal affairs in the family. They have an extraordinary status, and their attitude often affects the speed of each family's acceptance of these new things to a great extent.
Therefore, it is not just Su Xiaoluoli who is busy selling, but Diaochan who appears as a "clothes rack" today, Lai Ying'er and Ma Qing not only need to bear the attention of everyone, but also need to deal with all kinds of weird problems from women of all ages.
.
Although the number of problems that the three of them have to deal with is much smaller than that of Su Xiaololi, it still makes the three of them feel anxious for a while. This is especially true for Diao Chan, who has a somewhat straightforward personality under Wang Yue's training.
It's a pity that no matter how unhappy she is inside, she still has to maintain an elegant smile on her face.
You must know that this is a task assigned to her by Su Xiaololi personally. She will be willing to do anything less than perfect, let alone screw up the matter. But under the repeated bombardment of women, Diao Loli also feels very overwhelmed.
"If that damn guy hadn't come up with this idea, old, ahem, this girl wouldn't have suffered like this!"
So it wasn't her who was wrong but a certain existence that made her gnash her teeth?
This really feels like being shot while lying down.
Beautiful clothes are naturally more than just the one or two pieces you wear. If the occasion had not been wrong, the auction of new winter clothes might have started during the banquet. But even so, most of the ladies expressed their disapproval of the new clothes.
Love of clothing.
Maybe after they go back, they will ask their own female workers to make imitations, maybe they will purchase products produced by Bingzhou Mufu, but no matter what, Li Shushi's initial goal has been achieved.
Cotton, wool and various animal furs are strategic materials that Li Shushi has been collecting and storing since he took root in Xihe.
After all, the northernmost point of Xihe is only near the 40th parallel north latitude, and the area that Bingshuo and Shuo can effectively control only just reaches the 41st parallel north latitude.
This latitude is only equivalent to the southern end of the Northeast Plain, one of the largest granaries in modern China in Li Shushi's impression. But at this latitude, after so many years of living, Li Shushi feels that the climate is quite harsh. If he wants to go further north,
When marching to other places, how to maintain sufficient mobility in winter is a very important matter.
However, among these three strategic materials, wool is limited by the total number of sheep and the chaotic environment in the north and cannot be obtained on a large scale. Although cotton seeds were obtained from Liu Hong, the cotton produced not only has thick and short fiber, but also has low yield.
Unsatisfactory - in fact, the cotton seeds required by the modern cotton spinning industry all come from Central and South America, which obviously cannot even be called distant water.
Although Li Shushi has thought of many ways to improve cotton seeds over the years, and achieved certain results with some magical power, the road to go is still very long - if a cute plan cannot be implemented smoothly.
Of course, Li Shushi would never tell others about that shameful plan that could be called black history. As an insider, Su Xiaoluoli also decided to keep this secret considering Li Shushi's psychological endurance.
Ahem, it seems to have gone a little far.
As for the last item of animal skins, especially animal skins that can maintain personal body temperature in the cold winter, they are destined to be more difficult to popularize than wool. After all, wool can be regenerated at a rate of one crop a year, and once animal skins are obtained
That can only mean the death of the animal from which the skin was removed.
Although a lot of it was obtained in large quantities by taking advantage of animal epidemics in the past few years, as long as it is processed by alchemists who can control the awakening strategy in quantity, it is still a good material, but the total amount is only enough for the front-line troops and the northern border soldiers.
degree of popularity.
Thanks for this similar but strange plane rule.
But hard work pays off after all. After so many years of practice and research, both the growth rate of livestock and the improvement of cotton varieties have made gratifying progress, so Li Shushi's next plan has a chance to be implemented.
Of course, before that, Li Shushi should first let the people of Bingzhou feel the changes brought about by this development.
For example, more and more horses have entered the fields and become good helpers for farmers. The war horses that the frontier troops can mobilize have become more and more abundant, and they have become more calm in dealing with the harassment of the grassland people. Even because Li Shushi has been
With those excellent Pegasus brought back from the Western Regions, it can be expected that the quality of the army's war horses will further improve.
Another example is the plates of mutton that are now served on the table.
Although mutton has a unique pungent smell, in this era, except for a few people who really can't stand the smell, most people, even wealthy families, will not refuse this kind of meat. Supplemented by the...
Seasonings from all over the world, on this otherwise ordinary winter day, pay homage to your five internal organs temple.
And this is not all the harvest.
Pan Sen: There will be an extra update tomorrow to celebrate Dadujiang becoming a butler. Well, let’s keep our word, so it seems to be quite ethical.
Pan Sen 2: The World Cup is coming to an end, and suddenly I feel empty in my heart...
Pan Sen 3: Recently, I suddenly felt that hatchets and other things seemed very interesting... (To be continued...)
