Zhenbei City.

Zhao Dan sat in the county guard's mansion and fell into deep thought for a piece of music.

This is a piece from Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State.

In fact, there is no major event in it, except for some daily reports, which is to implore Zhao Dan to end his northern tour and return to Handan as soon as possible, so as to appease the ministers and the hearts of the people.

Zhao Dan looked at the piece in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

"As for it, the widow has only been out for a month...... Can you still have some personal freedom? ”

It was once said that when you have money, you are free.

It is also said that power is true freedom.

In general, the idea is that the more powerful a person is, the more free he is, and this power can be both money and power.

As the monarch of the world's most powerful country today, Zhao Dan wants to say, this is all fart!

With great power comes great responsibility.

When the fate of millions of people in the whole country is on their shoulders, how can a monarch with a little sense of responsibility be free?

However, Zhao Dan did feel that it was almost time for him to return to Handan.

In the past few days when Li Mu attacked, Zhao Dan was not idle, and took his eldest son Zhao Heng to take a trip to Zhenbei City, in-depth inspection of the lives of all classes in Zhenbei City, and even went to several newly built Zhao villages near Zhenbei City to learn about it.

Although it is said that it is just a matter of looking at the flowers, it is undeniable that after this kind of on-the-spot visit, Zhao Dan finally has a bottom in his heart, and he also has some plans in his heart.

Overall, Zhao Dan felt that the purpose of this tour had been achieved, as long as he waited for Li Mu to send back the battle report, then he could set off and return to Handan.

For this war against the Yueshi people, Zhao Dan is still very confident.

After all, judging from the previous wars, Li Mu is now completely able to take charge of himself, and with the most elite five thousand cavalry of Zhao State in his hands, as long as Li Mu is not stupid, the possibility of victory is very high.

So Zhao Dan thought about it and made instructions on this Zhao Sheng's recital.

"Read. After the battle of Shuofang was over, the widow set off to return to Handan. ”

After putting down the letter, Zhao Dan let out a long breath and stretched his waist.

It's already noon, and it's time for lunch.

In fact, in the Warring States Period, most people only ate two meals a day, but as a modern person and a monarch, Zhao Dan naturally had the privilege of eating as many meals as he wanted.

The first thing to be served was the fish tart.

What is Guan? Tsui is a type of cooking in this era, and to put it bluntly, it is sashimi.

Mencius believed that the roast was more delicious than the bezoar, and later derived an idiom called "the mouth", which was used as a metaphor for things and poems.

There is a river outside the city of Zhenbei City, this fish is slaughtered from the fish freshly caught in the river, with green onions as a condiment, a bite is almost melted in the mouth, the delicious taste of the fish is full of mouth, people want to eat a piece and want to have another piece.

The next dish is beef stains.

This beef stain is made by using fresh beef, removing the blood vessels and fascia from the top, cutting it into thin slices and soaking it in wine overnight.

Eat beef stains with vinegar. After dipping the vinegar into the mouth, the taste of beef is stimulated by the sake and makes people feel slightly drunk, but in this slightly drunken taste, there is a hint of vinegar sourness, and the three flavors are combined into one, giving people a very unique taste.

In addition to this, there are beef breasts and lamb breasts, that is, beef jerky and lamb jerky.

When eating these dishes, in addition to dipping vinegar, there is another dipping ingredient, which is 醢 (reading sea).

醢 is sauce.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the types of syrup have been very rich, whether it is meat or fruits and vegetables can be made into sus, such as cow susher, deer sus, fish sus, plum syrup, peach syrup, bean syrup, etc., there are many kinds of.

There are several of them that are worth mentioning.

The first one is Yingjiao, of course, this Yingjiao is not made of human flesh with the surname Win, after all, Zhao Dan himself is also surnamed Win. Win is actually snail meat sauce.

There is also a kind of egg, which is the famous caviar in later generations.

Finally, there is a very special kind of skushi, which is called a skushi, which is made from the white eggs of ants.

Don't be disgusting, "Zhou Li: Tianguan" said: "The sylvester is for the Son of Heaven to feed." "This ant egg sauce is still a special sauce that only the Son of Heaven can enjoy, and most people are not qualified to eat it if they want to eat it.

The sauce used by Zhao Dan today is beef syrup, which is a relatively normal sauce.

In addition to that, there is the final dish, goose towel soup.

This dish is made with goose meat (goose meat) and towels (cress), plus millet, bamboo shoots, mustard, ginger, etc., boiled together until cooked and thick, and this fragrant goose towel soup is ready.

With these delicacies, coupled with the mellow wine that Zhao Guo has always been famous for, Zhao Dan can be said to eat very refreshingly and comfortably.

In fact, after the crossing, Zhao Dan is really acceptable to food.

After all, at this time, it has entered the era of civilization for thousands of years, and even Confucius said that "you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of being fine", which shows that the food culture at this time has been quite developed.

Although it is said that many things in the future generations cannot be eaten, many things in this era cannot be eaten in the future generations, so in general, there are gains and losses.

Of course, this is mainly because Zhao Dan, as the monarch of Zhao Guoguo, naturally eats top food, and belongs to a typical "meat eater", a corrupt person who eats meat.

If you look at the food eaten by ordinary people every day, of course, the food of later generations is more abundant.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but be glad that he was not the kind of person who was not spicy or happy, otherwise he would really not be able to eat in this era when there were no chili peppers in the land of China......

Zhao Dan, who was full of food and drink, burped very satisfied, and thought to himself: "Speaking of which, it seems that we should see if we can get the iron pot out, if there is no iron pot, there will be no stir-frying, and it always feels almost meaningful." ”

Just when Zhao Dan was thinking about whether he wanted to take a nap and take a nap, a rush of footsteps suddenly came, followed by the voice of Zhao Ling, the county guard of Hetao County, with a little trembling in excitement.

"King, front-line military intelligence! Great victory, great victory! ”

After a while, Zhao Dan looked at the urgent information in front of him, and his face was happy.

Li Mu led 8,000 cavalry of the Zhao State to win more with less, defeated 20,000 cavalry of the Yue people in the first battle, killed and captured more than 10,000 people, and achieved a great victory.

The remnants of the Yue clan fled west across the Yellow River under the leadership of the main general Ma Sagai and fled back to the Yue clan territory west of Helan Mountain.

"Good, good, good!"

Zhao Dan said three good words one after another, and the smile on his face was extremely comfortable.

Li Mu, sure enough, it is worthy of Li Mu!

After a while, Zhao Dan slowly calmed down from his joy.

Now that we've got the good news, there's something that needs to be dealt with next.

So Zhao Dan instructed Zhao Ling in front of him: "Go and summon the Aries King." ”

The Aries tribe, which was once a well-known tribe among the Huns, Zhao Dan felt it was time to swallow it.
