Auntie, that's the way it is. ”

"Don't you want to be so strange in it, where an army has been unheard of, and it's all made up of women?"

"yes, it's weird, the point is that they're all so well trained that they can even work together to kill thieves. Ji Xuan frowned.

"Putting that aside for now, what are the origins of those assassins?" the mountain chief asked.

"The assassins are all Qin-made weapons, I heard that the leader is a guest in the family of Ling Xu, the servant of the Qin State, and Ling Xu's second son, Ling Hao, is studying in the school palace at the moment, and all clues point to the Qin people......"

However, although the Qin State tried its best to go east, this extra move confirmed that the Qin people were not the real culprits. ”

"My aunt is right, how can there be such a shallow conspiracy......? The nephew thinks that at this time, it should also have nothing to do with the Qin State. ”

"Although the Qin people are wolf-like, not everyone is like a wolf, and the old body knows what you are thinking, but don't go too far, and don't implicate the students of the Qin State in the school palace, you know?"

"The nephew took the order. ”

After Ji Xuan retreated, the mountain chief sighed faintly: "Why do people always try to challenge the bottom line of the old body? This feeling is not comfortable at all." ”

At this time, another good show was being staged in the court hall of Luoyi City.

"Although Murong is self-reliant as a subordinate on behalf of Yan, it is also the result of the support of the ministers of the Yan State, not to mention, the Murong clan can be regarded as a meritorious person in pacifying Liaodong, so what if the Murong clan is allowed to take the position of King Yan of the Murong clan?"

"But the Murong clan still wants to hunt down and kill the descendants of the Yan royal family, and even once threatened to go to war with Zhao and Qi, and now they have sent envoys to the land of my Great Zhou, hoping to get the canonization of my Great Zhou, and by the way, they will send troops to crusade against the Duan clan's Liaoxi Kingdom, and their wolf ambitions are clearly revealed, if the Liaoxi Kingdom is destroyed, my Great Zhou will have one less arm to help!"

Above the court, the courtiers argued endlessly, but today's Great Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Yuwang Ji Wu has no way at all, these courtiers in front of him are all people from super aristocratic families, and he feels that he can't discuss this kind of problem with others at all.

However, this Liaoxi country, he is indeed a little impressed.

There is also this Duan clan, which has been wandering in the western Liaoning region and the northern part of Hebei.

According to the records of the Great Zhou National Chronicles, the Duan clan began in the fifth year of King Xing of Zhou (313), and the relationship between the alliance between Duan Jilu and Wang Jun in western Liaoxi broke down, and the Duan clan became independent and seized western Liao.

In the sixth year of King Xing (314), Wang Jun, the general of Yan, was defeated by Sima Shile of Zhao, and the Duan clan lost their support.

Duan Jilu's son Duan Di then based on Jicheng, until today, established a small state to pay tribute to the Great Zhou, the Western Liao.

Since the beginning of the record, the small country has survived to this day.

But what I didn't expect was that there was such a big fork in the Yan Kingdom.

Originally as the head of the Murong family under the ministers of King Yan, Murong Pu became self-reliant on behalf of Yan, and Murong Pu accepted the suggestion of Feng Yi, the general of the Chinese army of the former Yan State, that is, the throne of Yan, and called himself the new King of Yan, without the Jin year number, and was known as Qianyan in history.

Immediately appointed Feng Yi as Xiangguo, Han Shou as Sima, and Shizijun as the prince of Yanwang.

Murong Hao sent Song Hui as an envoy to visit the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty because Duan Liao was a border trouble, and made an appointment next year to jointly conquer the western Liao.

According to the latest news received, the Murong family is not only famous, but also defeated the remnants of the Yan royal family and the coalition army of Goguryeo in the interior of about 30,000 people, so the Murong family was able to successfully replace the Yan royal family, and now they send envoys, which can only show that they can't wait to get the official canonization of the Yan king.

With the Murong family's actions, it is not impossible to really give this position of King Yan to the Murong family, but it is just ...... If it is really given, then whether the newly powerful Murong family will continue to respect the Great Zhou has formed a fierce debate in the court, and it is said that there is no reason for the debate yet.

An even more tricky problem is that the Murong clan is still on the throne under the support of the ministers of the Yan Kingdom.

In this way, the members of the original Yan royal family and the newborn Murong family naturally became undying enemies, and I heard that some of the Yan royal family fled to the territory of Zhao and Qi for refuge, and the Murong family ordered Zhao and Qi to hand over these people, otherwise they would have to go to war to recover them.

The current atmosphere and situation are very delicate, everyone is waiting for the reaction of the Great Zhou royal family, and Ling Hao is no exception.

But at this time, he didn't have so much interest in how these people dealt with this problem, and he was more concerned now about whether the cherry meat he tried to make could be made.

Cherry meat is one of the traditional dishes in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, which belongs to the Suzhou cuisine. Founded in Jiangsu, introduced into the palace during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the yam wine cherry meat was recorded into the Qing Dynasty "Imperial Tea Dining Room Stall", the characteristic color is cherry red, bright and pleasant, crispy and fat.

Its color is red and bright, the shape is round and small, the skin is soft and sweet and salty, rich in oil, and it is an excellent appetizer and meal.

To make good cherry meat, the minimum condition is the color, such as the meat surface should be cut to the size of a cherry, arranged neatly, and the color should be as bright and translucent as a cherry, bright and attractive.

In addition, Sichuan cuisine and Northeast cuisine have dishes of the same name, and the methods are different.

The production method of Suzhou cherry meat is to cut the whole square meat with a flower knife, fire it with red yeast rice powder and other colors, and shape it like a cherry. The cherry meat stewed in yam wine was recorded in the Qing Dynasty's "Imperial Tea Dining Room Stall", and Deling's "Imperial Fragrance Ethereal Record" recorded that Cixi's favorite cherry meat in her later years was simmered slowly over a simmer with pork and fresh cherries. The restored cherry flesh is simmered for more than 3 hours in strict accordance with the traditional process, and the cherry residue is removed after the sweet aroma of the cherries is simmered into the meat. Remove from the pot and pour the cherry core into juice instead of part of the red yeast braised to increase the fresh fruity aroma,[1]

Cherry meat as an ingredient

The minimum condition for cherry meat is to attract color, such as the meat surface should be cut to the size of cherries, arranged neatly, and the color should be as bright and translucent as cherries, bright and attractive.

The person who came up with the name of the dish "cherry meat" must be very good at studying the psychology of the eater. Cherries are precious fruits, also known as warbler peaches, and just listening to the name makes you feel poetic.

The fruit is even more bright and crystalline, sweet and sour, reminiscent of a mouthful of liquid. In spring and summer, a grain is as round as an agate, reflecting the green leaves, bright red. Its color and shape are incomparable, and it is deeply loved by poets and poets.

Li Shimin described it: "Zhu Yan has a distant day", Sun Ti praised it: "The color is around Pei Zhuming", and Du Mu praised it: "The round suspicion of stealing the dragon's jaw".

Therefore, the crystal cherry flesh is set off by the green vegetables and leaves at the bottom of the plate, and it really has the famous sentence of the Southern Tang Dynasty poet Feng Yansi describing cherries: "Melancholy in the east of the wall, a tree of cherries with rain red" feeling.

It is better to change the sentence of Zhao Yanduan in the Song Dynasty "green onions, a few cherry leaves are red at the bottom" to "green onions, red on a few cherry leaves". Because the cherry flesh is potted, the pea seedlings must be stir-fried in vegetable oil, and the emerald green bean seedlings are placed around the edge of the plate, so that the cherry flesh becomes more and more red, like a plate of mouth-watering cherries that have just been picked from the tree.

There are many people who love cherry meat, and in addition to its deliciousness, another reason is that it is easy to associate it with classical beauty.

"The willow is like an eyebrow and a lotus like a cheek, and the cherry mouth is like a hibiscus forehead" This is the standard portrait of a classical beauty, and the cherry mouth is a symbol of beauty. In fact, a woman should be like a cherry, delicate and clear, beautiful and delicate.

Suzhou has been a place of beauty and famous food for generations, and it is natural and uncommon for cherry meat to be found in dishes.

Suzhou-style cuisine pays attention to "four seasons are different, and it is on the market according to order", and in spring, cherry meat is pushed. Just like the beauty in spring, with seductive colors, she walks exquisitely, which makes people naturally have an endless aftertaste......

"Childe...... This time, what good things did you do?" Yao Rong looked at this scene and asked a little curiously.

"Compared to this, your family and younger brothers have all been released?" Ling Hao asked her another question without looking back.

"I don't know...... They may ......" Yao Rong wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't say such unlucky words, before you see the final result, although you do need to be mentally prepared, but don't think of the worst outcome at the beginning, it will only make you uneasy and only add to your troubles. ”

"Try it, this cherry meat should be almost ready to eat. Ling Hao handed her the chopsticks.

I have done everything I need to do, my life has been saved, and my wife has been upgraded, but my cheap big brother doesn't know where to go now, I sent Pei Min and Xie Ai to find him before, I heard that he has withdrawn from the ranks of the Qin army, and it is impossible to return to the Qin army camp.

Who called his father already a concubine?

The only question that Big Brother Cheap remembers now is how he got involved with Elder Shan, and what conditions and prices the other party offered.

Well, that's enough for your own headache.
