When the news of Chang'an Juncheng's defeat and killing reached the Wei State, Lü Pheasant's mother had just given birth to her sister Lü Huan. Lezi found that Lu Pheasant treated the baby with patience and gentleness, which made the third sister and the second brother jealous.

Three months after Lu Huan was born, she was very pleasing to be white and fat, and Lu Gong's Qin law teaching was also popularized to the "Law of Thieves".

Those who enter people's houses and houses without reason, get on people's cars and boats, and lead people to break the law, they are not guilty of killing them at the time. Lu Pheasant couldn't help but be a little distracted when he looked at this law.

Today is already the last explanation of the law, and after the course, Lu Pheasant stayed behind to talk to Father Lu in detail: "Father, can we leave?" ”

Lu Gong looked at Lu Pheasant, who had grown a lot taller in front of him, nodded and said, "After packing our luggage and belongings in a few days, we can set off for Xianyang." The route has also been planned, and we can follow the caravan together. ”

"Father, I want to make a detour to South Korea to enter Qin, maybe there will be some surprises on the way." Lu Pheasant's eyes flashed with confidence, making Lu Gong unconsciously obey her judgment.

Lu's father disposed of the field house early and hurriedly cashed in the items that were not easy to carry. There are more than 20 cars in the Lu family fleet, except for a few passengers, most of the cars are carrying a scroll of Jane, this era is only the number of words of a modern novel, but the text has to be small to save the chapter under such limitations.

It is rumored that the merchant was called a merchant because the Shang tribe in the tribal era was keen to communicate with the surrounding tribes, so that those who engaged in this kind of behavior were called merchants.

The Song State was originally a descendant of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and there was Dingtao, the most prosperous city in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Although Shanxian now belonged to the Wei State, the pursuit of profit in the nature of the merchants still allowed them to bustle through the land of the Warring States. The caravan found by Father Lü had been engaged in trade between Wei, Han and Qin for a long time, and following them could also avoid being attacked by thieves on the road.

The rule of law in the six countries is sparse, and from time to time civilians die in the mountains and wilderness to become thieves. After all, compared with the high taxes, there are basically no shortcomings in the mountains except for the possibility of being cleared by the government and sending troops. Not to mention that the Han-Wei border was already in jeopardy, and a large number of soldiers were stationed outside, making domestic thieves more and more rampant.

Lu Gong had already negotiated the price with the caravan's staple food, and the entourage with more capital could occupy a good position in the caravan, after all, no one wanted to smell the smoke and dust brought up by the carriage and horses at the back of the caravan.

The caravan leader is fat and looks very fat, and his fat face often has a kind smile, and he is standing beside Father Lu and sighing: "Counting you, the caravan finally has more than 100 cars, it's really rare." ”

He motioned for Kunikatsu to follow the caravan with most of the slave guards, leaving only a few guards to accompany his caravan. Because horses are rare, there are no horses, and horses are used to pull carts. The caravan was escorted by about 100 people, but only a few on horseback, who acted as scouts to explore the way.

Father Lu responded with a smile: "The origin of family learning is not a valuable object, some bamboo slips, passed down from the ancestors, are not easy to destroy." ”

Even if you follow a familiar caravan, you can't avoid the possibility of being killed and robbed of property in the wilderness.

When the caravan leader heard that they were all bamboo slips, he lost interest, and when he saw that Father Lu had also boarded the carriage, he got into his carriage and let the team set off towards the west.

Lezi was a little reluctant to look at the house from the small window on the carriage, and it was inevitable that he was a little depressed. Lu Pheasant smiled and comforted her: "Mother, isn't it more important for our family to be together than an empty old house?" ”

She thought about it and thought that it was true, the family was still together, and there was nothing more important than that. Lu Huan didn't feel any discomfort in the carriage, but spit bubbles excitedly. Lu Pheasant sat on the side and played with her, and Lu Changjiao also joined in.

The Lu family followed the caravan with two cars, the front car was occupied by Lu Gong and his two sons, and the back car was Le Zi and his three daughters. After all, Lu Huan still needs to breastfeed, and it is inevitable that it will be rude on such occasions when the boy is old.

Lu Pheasant had never been out of the house, so he was inevitably more interested in the scenery outside, and the convoy had already driven to the road in the field half an hour later. Most of the people on the road were businessmen and students who traveled to study, and some scholars paid money to join the convoy to follow.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the road, the fields looked much bleaker, and it was almost time for the autumn harvest, but there were only a few farmers working in the fields. Probably sent to the border to guard the city by King Wei!

After watching the scenery on the road for a long time, it is inevitable that it will be monotonous. Lu Pheasant and Chang Ji pestered Le Zi and asked her to tell them a story, and Le Zi told the story of Mu Xin leading the army to fight the enemy, and Chang Ji screamed again and again.

Although the status of women in the Zhou Dynasty was not as high as in the Shang Dynasty, fortunately, they were not locked in the backyard as in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many well-known female politicians, whether it was Miyue of the Qin State, Qi Jiang of the Jin State (the Duchess of Jin Wen helped her achieve great causes), Zhao Ji (the daughter of Qi Jiang) of the Jin State, and Nanzi (the surname of the Duchess of Wei Ling, the princess of the Song Kingdom), etc., all of whom played an indispensable role in national government affairs.

As for women who are known for their beauty, they are even more numerous, Xia Ji, who once "killed three husbands, one gentleman and one son, and died one country and two secretaries", really doesn't know what she can become.

The caravan had to pass through many large cities from Shan Father, and the first thing to arrive at was Suiyang, the old capital of the Song Kingdom. Before arriving in Suiyang, the caravan passed through the city of Mengcheng, a small city, probably the most famous of which was Zhuangzi, who was born here.

The caravan sold and purchased goods in Mengcheng, and Lü Gong also made people buy some supplies. Lu Pheasant thought that Zhuangzi's birthplace was like this, and it was no different from other places. However, after the caravan set off again, she recited the famous sentence of "Zhuangzi, Leisurely Travel, and Fish in the North Underworld" in the car.

Lu Changjiao was not interested in these mysterious Taoist classics, but when she heard that "Fu Liezi walked against the wind, he was good, and he was five days away from him." interrupted Lu Pheasant and asked, "Can people fly in the sky?" ”

Before Lu Pheasant was ready to blurt out that it was impossible, he stopped his life, after all, even the dead and resurrected existed, and it was not a big deal for people to be able to fly. She looked at Chang Ji and replied with a smile: "It should be possible, but we don't know the method for the time being." ”

Changji's eyes lit up as if she had found something of interest: "Then I must go up to the sky to see what is different from the ground." ”

Lu Pheasant smiled and said: "Then Sister will have to think of a way when the time comes, if it is just verbal talk, then I am afraid there is no way to achieve it." ”

The journey from Mengcheng to Suiyang took even longer, and the caravan would only eat day and night, which made it unbearable for the Lu family, who originally had three meals a day. Lu Pheasant wanted to make some easy-to-eat food in advance, which could be eaten when he was hungry in the car, and thought for a long time before he remembered a kind of food - Hu Cake.

The Lu family team carried three small stone mills for the convenience of life on the road, after all, it is more convenient to process at any time than to carry a large pile of ground grains. According to the thickness of the grinding, it is also divided into three types.

The coarsest can be used to hull the grain, and the finest can be ground into a fine flour from the wheat.

There are really many types of food in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there are really few that taste good. At that time, the northern aristocracy liked millet rice the most, which is now millet, because of its good taste.

As for rice, it was only transmitted to the north after many wars between the Chu State and the northern princes. The common people in the north could not eat millet and rice at all, and after hard work in the past, they used to eat soybean rice (boiled soybeans) and wheat rice (boiled wheat grains) for food, which was very difficult.

Since the stone mill was originally time-consuming to make, the commoners used the method of scooping to hull the grain. The smashing is a large product of the medicine jar, and the woman has to hold a large wooden stick and constantly smash the stone mortar with the large part of the head.

The Qin State attacked the women's "city cooking" for the government, and the time limit may be as long as several years. As for Lu Pheasant, when she was the queen mother, she deliberately demoted Mrs. Qi to Yongxiang and let her cook rice. It was just to punish her, and she didn't have the heart to kill her at that time.

Lu Pheasant married Liu Ji, and in order to prevent her from suffering from rice, there was a delicate stone mill in the dowry.

When she returned to Lu Pheasant, when she rested this night, she had already ordered someone to hull some of the wheat grains that Mengcheng had bought before, and then change them to be finely ground into flour. In order to maintain the delicate taste, she also had her servants sift through a sieve made of fine linen three times.

The sifted flour was already fine, kneaded into a dough with water, divided into small pieces, and the servants crushed it into a thin cake with a round wooden stick, and spread the pork (castrated pig) paste on both sides and sprinkled with shallots (now scallion) leaves. After a short time of placing it in a hot copper kettle, an enticing fragrance wafted out. Lu Shizhi, who had been watching it for a long time on the side, was about to drool rudely when he was attracted by the fragrance of this new food.

Lu Pheasant glared at the second brother who didn't look good, and asked him to call his family to prepare for dinner. After Lu Gong came out of the tent with fun, he couldn't help but have a great appetite when he saw that Lu Pheasant had developed a new delicacy. Lu Gong looked at the chopped shallots on the dough cake and smelled the fragrance of the pork paste, and couldn't help but admire: "Use green onions for fat, and shallots for paste." As he says, it's delicious. ”

The sifted semolina was given to the slaves to enjoy, and the servants were moved to tears by the delicious food. The staple food of the caravan smelled the fragrance and came over, licking his face and borrowing the finest stone mill of the Lu family. The caravan guards couldn't help but shout excitedly when they saw the stone mill borrowed from the staple food, and after a while, the fragrance of grain also came from the caravan.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the most famous picky person was Confucius, who was known as the "Eight Non-Eats", and the grains should be eaten finely, and the raw meat slices should be cut fresh and thin. In addition, Zheng Linggong, the monarch who had died because of food, deliberately skipped Gongzi Song, who had a big index finger, when he divided the food, and Gongzi Song took a few steps forward and stretched his fingers into Zheng Linggongding to taste it. As a result, a malicious joke made the monarch and the ministers jealous, and the prince Song ended with the murder of the king, and Zheng Guo also fell into chaos.

Food was not only used for food in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but also very important in sacrifices. The sacrifice of the monarch should be "sacrificed" for the sacrifices used in ancient sacrifices, and they need to be kept in a prison before the sacrifice, so this kind of sacrifice is called a prison. Pigs, cattle and sheep are all prepared for the Tai Prison for the Son of Heaven, and the pigs and sheep are for the Shao Prison for the princes and monarchs. The word prison originated from the fence where people kept their livestock, and then it slowly became the name of the prison where people were kept.
