Lu Jinyi had a bitter face, "Wait? How do I have to wait? She's only nine years old! After six or seven years, it's not certain what the girl will look like, in case she grows into a ......."

Yang Huairen thought about it, what he said also made sense, Lu Jinyi's age was when his blood was strong, and asking him to wait for a nine-year-old girl for six or seven years for the sake of the family affairs set by his father was tantamount to destroying people's desires and too inhumane.

So he thought of some customs at that time, it was possible to take a concubine before marrying a wife, so he comforted, "It's not that you have to wait all the time, you can also take a concubine first, thinking about this, whether it is Ling Zun or the future father-in-law, he will not object, right?" ”

"Ahem!"

Lu Jinyi sighed and said with a red face, "It's not for this, the younger brother is just unwilling to accept this family business, but the uncle surnamed Jia and the father are too tightly urged, and the younger brother is really unable to resist, so he thought of such a way, stay away and hide cleanly, and just follow his brothers to Liao Country to break through." ”

"Oh, I see, since you are willing to follow, I am also happy in my heart, with such a helper as you, it will be unpleasant to have trouble with the Khitans at that time, in case of a fight, I will also have you as a good helper, right?"

Lu Jinyi laughed heartily at this time, "Haha, what my brother said is that other younger brothers can't fight, and they fight with a top player." ”

Yang Huairen also smiled, but he smiled and smiled, suddenly remembered something, the smile on his face froze again, and he asked, "What is the name of your nine-year-old future daughter-in-law you are talking about?" ”

Lu Jinyi replied casually, "Where can I remember her name clearly?" Her father's surname is Jia, so she is also surnamed Jia. ”

The expression on Yang Huairen's face was weathered, and he froze, surnamed Jia? Wouldn't it be the Jia family who secretly Chen Cang with Li Gu and brought a big green hat to Lu Jinyi, right?

Looking at the relaxed smile on Lu Jinyi's face, Yang Huairen felt a cold chill in his heart, and said that things might be so coincidental, if it weren't for his appearance, he was sent by the official family as an envoy to Liaoguo, and happened to pass through Lujiazhuang, so that Lu Jinyi could just avoid this family business......

After Yang Huairen lamented his original fate in his heart, he was suddenly a little lucky, maybe it was because Lu Jinyi met him that he escaped such a shame that is difficult to let go of in a man's life.

Yang Huairen felt that no matter what happened in the future, he must prevent Lu Jinyi from marrying the girl surnamed Jia, the way, you can think about it slowly along the way, now you must not be able to tell him directly what has not happened, it will be too weird, and he can't believe it.

Lu Jinyi didn't need to know this, since he followed Yang Huairen on the road, he was very happy all the way, Brother Hei Niu pulled him to meet several other brothers, and also saw the sassy demeanor of the soldiers of the forbidden army now.

Especially after seeing his junior brother Lin Chong, the head of the spear and stick sect of Long Wuwei, who is now high-spirited and chic, he began to be moved.

After the entire envoy team turned around, Lu Jinyi seemed to be envious of Brother Hei Niu's current military life, and his words and demeanor also revealed a message, if Yang Huairen was willing to accept him, he could also join the forbidden army, although the life of comfort and wealth was comfortable, but he had already had enough.

Yang Huairen has always admired Lu Jinyi's martial arts and talent, and appreciates his arrogance and righteousness, so he agreed to let him stay by his side, but he had to temporarily act as a personal guard by his side first, and then slowly arrange a position for him in the future.

Lu Jinyi knows the rules of the army, although he is also in the martial arts, but after all, he does not have any qualifications and merits in the army, and he will give him an official title at first glance, and he is afraid that others will gossip that he is on the top of the position, not only him, but even Yang Huairen's face is not glorious.

He is more willing to accept Yang Huairen's arrangement, and is confident that with his own skills, he will definitely be able to make contributions in the future, and when the time comes, he will be promoted to an official, and it will be justified.

Lu Jinyi is in such a good mood, as a native of Jizhou, he knows that Yang Huairen and those brothers around him are foodies, and every place he goes, he enthusiastically introduces local specialties.

Speaking of the most famous food in the land of Jizhong throughout the ages, it has to be said that it must be the donkey meat fire.

Even in later generations, donkey meat roasting is also the favorite civilian delicacy of the people in the Jizhong Plain.

It's just that outsiders have heard of the name of donkey meat burning, but they don't know that donkey meat is burning, and there are two major branches in Jizhong.

One is the Baoding donkey meat fire that originated in the Baoding Cao River Basin, and the other is the donkey meat fire between the rivers that is famous in the river.

Tracing the origin of these two donkey meat fires, most of them are folk legends, and the earliest legend comes from a folk tale of "killing a donkey and cooking rice" in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that when Taizong Li Shimin was not yet the emperor, he was named the king of Qin by Gaozu Li Yuan, and led the army to recruit Dou Jiande, who had not yet surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the middle of the Hebei generation.

Li Shimin felt that the taste was not enough to eat donkey meat alone, so he used a local baked cake, threw it in half horizontally from the middle, and then sandwiched the donkey meat to eat, and found that it tasted more beautiful, so he had donkey meat to burn this food.

But folklore is a legend after all, and there is no definite record to prove that Li Shimin is the one who invented donkey meat fire.

In recorded history, the fire of donkey meat in Baoding originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. Speaking of which, it has a lot to do with the Grand Canal.

Although the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was dug in the year of the Sui Dynasty, it was only used by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to go down to the south of the Yangtze River for convenience and for the dispatch of military rations from the south of the Yangtze River, and the common people did not taste many tangible benefits.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, where the economy and commerce developed greatly, the imperial court intensified efforts to re-widen and strengthen the original canal channel in order to smooth the north-south traffic, and newly dug many branch waterways and built many river ports and wharves, so that the transportation and commerce of the Grand Canal gradually became busy, and gradually became the main transportation artery connecting the north and the south.

At that time, the Caohe area of Baozhou was selected to build wharves on both sides of the Caohe River, which connected to the Jizhong Canal, an important branch of the Grand Canal, to transport grain, salt and iron and other goods from the south.

It is precisely for this reason that the Cao Gang who made a living by carrying grain and the Salt Gang who made a living by carrying salt and iron came into being at the Caohe Wharf.

In order to deal a heavy blow to the opponent and prevent the Salt Gang from turning over, the Cao Gang killed all the donkeys used to transport goods on land that the Salt Gang relied on for survival, and made donkey meat for fire.

This is the earliest recorded origin of Baoding donkey meat fire.
