Since the opening of the opera garden, the people have had one more pastime activity. On weekdays, Kan Dashan talks about what new plays have been launched in the opera garden recently, and where in the city a new opera garden has been opened. Among the many girls who sing now, who is the biggest horn, etc., it is difficult to hear any remarks criticizing Jizhou.

Autumn goes to winter, and after winter, everyone changes into thick winter clothes. Seeing that the winter solstice was approaching, Han Zhan suddenly had a whim and wanted to go to the barracks to inspect it. But he didn't expect that the temperature outside was very low, and as soon as he came out of the house to the street, a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Han Zhan turned his head to Chen Zhi and Rob who were following behind him: "In a few days, it will be the winter solstice, I don't know if the army is going to drink mutton soup or eat dumplings?" The reason why he asked this question is because the customs of the winter solstice in the north and south are different, some eat dumplings, some eat glutinous rice balls, and some drink mutton soup.

Who knew that Chen Zhi and Luo Bu heard Han Zhan ask this, but they looked at each other, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, Han Zhan's heart was not happy, he raised his voice and asked, "I asked the two of you what I said, why didn't you ignore me?" ”

"Back to the lord's words," Chen Zhi saw that Han Zhan's face was not harmonious, and hurriedly replied with a fist: "Mutton soup, my subordinates often drink it." But what this dumpling is, his subordinates have never heard of it. ”

Chen Zhi's reply surprised Han Zhan, and he thought to himself: Could it be that dumplings, like buns, have never been published? When he was thinking about how to popularize science to the two of them, he suddenly remembered the invention of dumplings, which seemed to be related to Zhang Zhongjing, so he instructed Rob: "Rob, you go and invite Doctor Zhang to the barracks, Ben Hou has something to ask him." ”

"My lord." When Luo Bu heard Han Hanzhan's order, he asked with some puzzlement: "Why did you summon Doctor Zhang to the barracks, could it be that there was an epidemic in the camp, and you need to call Doctor Hua together?" ”

"No, you only need to summon a divine doctor." After Han Zhan said this, he urged Rob to say, "I'm still stunned, so I don't hurry up to find Doctor Zhang." ”

On the way to the barracks on horseback, Han Zhan was trying to recall the invention of dumplings in his mind: Zhang Zhongjing, who used to be the Taishou of Changsha, resigned and returned to his hometown in the middle of winter. Seeing that the people on both sides of the White River were yellow and thin, hungry and cold, many people's ears were frozen and rotten. He asked his disciples to set up a medical shed in Nanyang Dongguan, set up a cauldron, and gave up the "cold and delicate ear soup" on the day of the winter solstice to treat the people for frostbite.

He put the mutton and some cold-warding herbs in a pot to boil, then took out the mutton and medicine and chopped them, wrapped them in flour into an ear-like "Jiao'er", and after cooking, they gave each person two "Jiao'er" and a large bowl of broth. People ate "Jiao'er" and drank "cold soup", their whole body was warm, their ears were hot, and their chilblains gradually improved. Later generations learned the appearance of "Jiao'er" and wrapped it into food, also called "dumplings" or "flat food".

When the group came to the barracks, Zhao Yun, who had already received the news, greeted him outside the camp gate with a group of subordinates. After taking Han Zhan to the barracks where he was, Zhao Yun asked curiously: "Second brother, why do you want to come to the barracks to inspect today, could it be that any of the princes is ready to move?" ”

"It's a cold winter now, even if there are princes who are prepared to be unfavorable to my Jizhou, we need to wait until the beginning of spring." Han Zhan explained to Zhao Yun: "The younger brother came to inspect because he saw that the weather had been cold recently, and he was worried that the soldiers would be frozen in the barracks. ”

After figuring out Han Zhan's intention, Zhao Yun's heart suddenly became much more steady, and he said with a smile: "Second brother is too worried, now there is a warm kang in the barracks, no matter how cold it is outside, as long as the soldiers return to the barracks, they can feel warm." This ondol is really a good thing, with its existence, no matter how cold the weather is, there is no need to worry about soldiers being frozen to death or frostbitten while sleeping. ”

Han Zhan thought to himself, although many sources say that cotton was introduced to the Celestial Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but as early as the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, many historical books can see records about cotton, but cotton textiles did not appear until the Southern Song Dynasty. It is only because cotton was introduced in the Ming Dynasty that cotton textiles were popularized in the Ming Dynasty. Before that, the rich wore silk or animal leather for the winter, while the poor people had to wear coarse linen clothes to protect themselves from the cold.

Zhao Yun didn't notice that Han Zhan was thinking about something, so he said to him: "Second brother, a few days ago, I heard from the frustrated prison army that Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou and Wu Huan's Jian Dun seem to be colluding, I am afraid that we are going to go south after the beginning of spring, and we have to take precautions as soon as possible?" ”

"Badun?" After Han Zhan repeated the name, he asked thoughtfully, "What is the relationship between this person and Qiu Liju?" ”

"Two months ago, Qiu Liju Shan Yu died, his son Lou Ban was young, and he had martial arts and wisdom from Zi Bang Dun, so he was appointed Shan Yu, and the Wuhuan tribe of the three counties of Beiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu was the commander-in-chief, and all the tribes obeyed his orders."

For Han Zhan, the biggest threat was the Xiongnu, not any Wuhuan, so as soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Then have the Xiongnu made any recent moves?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Yun shook his head and replied: "Since the second brother has moved the population of Guanzhong to Jizhou, even if the Xiongnu want to go south to plunder, there is no population and property for them to loot. ”

While the two were talking, Rob hurriedly walked in from outside and reported to Han Zhanyu, "Lord Qiqi, Doctor Zhang has arrived. ”

"Hurry up, please!"

Zhao Yun asked Han Zhan with some confusion: "Second brother, what did you ask Doctor Zhang to do, could it be that he was ill?" ”

"Big brother, don't be impatient," Han Zhan said to Zhao Yun with a smile, "Later, when Divine Doctor Zhang comes, you will know." ”

After a while, Zhang Zhongjing walked into the house from the outside and saluted Han Zhan and Zhao Yun: "Zhang Ji has seen the lord and General Zhao!" ”

"Divine Doctor Zhang," after Zhang Zhongjing finished giving the salute, Han Zhan asked with a smile, "Do you know the purpose of Ben Hou summoning you here?" ”

"Zhang Ji doesn't know."

"Ben Hou has been on the street recently, and I have seen that many people have frostbite in their ears because of the cold, I wonder if Dr. Zhang has any way to treat these people?"

"Returning to the lord's words," Zhang Zhongjing replied, "Zhang Ji has recently seen many people whose ears are frostbitten, so he plans to treat them by using food to warm them and treat them with food." ”

"Warm with food, cure diseases with food?" After Zhao Yun repeated Zhang Zhongjing's words, he asked curiously: "Doctor Zhang, I don't know what to do?" ”

"General Zhao, Zhang Ji recently researched a cold-dispelling soup that can treat frostbitten ears for the people."

"What kind of cold soup?" Han Zhan asked knowingly.

"It is to use mutton and some cold-warding herbs to boil in a pot, mutton and medicine are fished out and chopped, wrapped in dough into an ear-like 'Jiao'er', after cooking, give those people with frostbitten ears two 'Jiao'er ears each, a big bowl of broth, let them eat, after eating, the symptoms of frostbitten ears can be relieved, and it can be cured in time."

"It's a good idea to complement form with form." Han Zhan pretended to be surprised, and said to Zhang Zhongjing: "Divine Doctor Zhang, then this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, let Xun Changshi provide mutton, cold-repelling herbs and flour, and then let General Zhao send troops to maintain order." ”
