Chapter 179: Iron Shoulders Bear Morality

As soon as the three of them were about to go out, someone hurriedly came to report to Zhuge Liang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Military advisor, Jiangdong envoy Lu Su is here."

"Hurry up, please!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Liu Chan originally wanted to stay to see Lu Su, but he was afraid that he would miss the matter of Dangyang, so he resigned to Zhuge Liang with Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Xiang Lang and others.

The four of them went back to prepare, and Liu Chan ordered Xiang Chong, Fu Tong, Xi Zhen, Yan Yu and several personal guards to accompany them, and asked them to prepare for departure.

Back at the Jingzhou Mu Mansion, Liu Chan used a brush to make a good prescription, and asked Fu Tong to go to the market or pharmacy, stack the goods according to the order, and buy a few of the following ingredients: salt, oil, sauce, vinegar, sugar, wine; leeks, garlic, shallots, ginger; pâté, caviar; star anise, grass fruit, cinnamon, cloves, osmanthus, orange peel, pepper, grass root, Sichuan pepper, cumin, licorice, tangerine peel, insect molt, pepper; Dry rice noodles and noodles and gauze.

took the recipe, and saw that all of them were food recipes, and there were some words that he didn't recognize, Fu Tong was dumbfounded.

Fu Tong pointed to the word "pepper" on the square, and asked with a red face: "Childe, this word pronounces uncle's 'uncle'?" ”

"Hahaha! Laughing to death! Liu Chan couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Childe, laugh...... And what? Fu Tong blushed, scratched his head, and said cowardly.

Liu Chan laughed and said with a smile; "You, just read while reading, read paragraphs when there are paragraphs, and read random paragraphs without paragraphs."

This sentence is the hometown dialect spoken by Liu Chan in later generations, which means that when you see a word that you don't know how to read, if it is a word with a left and right structure, read its radicals; If it is a word with an upper and lower structure, read the upper and lower parts; If it's a word with another structure, read it randomly.

Seeing that Liu Chan almost laughed, Fu Tong distinguished: "None of the gentlemen in the school have taught this word, and I have never seen it." ”

"Huge violation, you are erudite and talented, can you come and see what this word is?" Fu Tong was unwilling and hurriedly called Xiang Pet over.

"A 'wood' and an 'uncle'? I haven't seen it either. "Rao is a scholarly family and a well-educated pet, and he can't say why.

"Childe, look. I'm not wrong. Seeing that the talented man Xiang Pet also made a difficulty, Fu Tong was happy.

Xiang Pet was not reconciled, and laughed quietly; "Childe, did you make a mistake?"

"That's it, that's it! It must have been a deliberate mistake in the child's writing to make us ugly. Fu Tong stroked his palms and laughed.

"The word 'pepper' is the pronunciation of the banana'." Liu Chan finally stopped laughing and said with a straight face.

Xiang Pet smiled: "Childe, how did you come up with this word?" ”

"Of course, this word was taught to me by the old fairy Jiang Taigong. This pepper is the abbreviation of chili pepper. Chili pepper is a condiment that is generally spicy and is used for both edible and medicinal purposes. Girls are especially fond of it. Liu Chan said with a smile.

"Where is it? Heavenly? Fu Tong said urgently.

"We can't get it in the sky." Liu Chan glanced at Fu Tong angrily and comforted: "However, the old immortal said that there are chili peppers growing in the distant overseas immortal mountains, and there are many plants and animals that we have never heard of and are extremely rare. ”

"Yes, he also asked us to send someone to find it, if we can bring back such treasures as chili peppers, it will be a miracle that will benefit the present generation and cover the future!" Liu Chan accentuated his tone and said seriously.

"Childe, are you opening a wine shop or an inn?" Fu Tong asked curiously.

"My son is going to cook a big meal for you." Liu Chan said with a smile.

"Childe, let's do it." Fu Tong said and turned around.

Taking advantage of Fu Tong's time to buy items, Liu Chan, accompanied by Xiang Pet, personally went to Mingxi Academy to ask Huang Yueying for leave.

Liu Chan also felt that he was too disagreeable, and since he fought Xiahou Yuan to attack Dangyang, he took half a month's leave.

Due to Liu Chan's identity and task, and with Zhuge Liang's approval, Huang Yueying had no choice but to frown and reluctantly agree.

Liu Chanru received amnesty, thanked again and again, and in the envious eyes of his friends, he went away.

Back in the house, Fu Tong had already returned to give the order.

It turned out that Fu Tong took people all over Jiangling City, and most of them were bought, and there was definitely no pepper, Sichuan pepper, and Sichuan pepper. There were no dry rice noodles and noodles, and only a few large bags of rice noodles and flour were bought.

Liu Chan thought about it carefully and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Liu Chan instructed them to use gauze to pack garlic, sand ginger, fish tail, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, cumin, star anise, licorice, grass fruit, tangerine peel, insect molt, cloves and other ingredients into bags, and made more than a dozen large incense bags.

It may be that there was no mass production of rice noodles and noodles in this era. Don't blame Xiang Pet and Fu Tong for not knowing words, before new things came out, this "pepper" had not yet appeared. You have to blame yourself for this, Liu Chan fell into deep thought.

Only then did he remember that there was no pepper or chili pepper in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Pepper is from the South Seas. Native to Mexico, chili peppers were only known to the world on other continents after the discovery of the New World, and were introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and tomatoes were introduced to China even later.

Fortunately, leeks, garlic, green onions, and ginger are available. In the Hanshu Biography of Zhao Xinchen, it is recorded that Taigongyuan produced onions and leeks in greenhouses, and the leeks cultivated in this way were called "leeks".

Mi Zhu, Xiang Lang and his subordinates prepared condolences and filled dozens of carriages, and Zhao Yun personally led two hundred cavalry to escort them.

After being busy for a long time, after lunch, the group finally walked on the Jingxiang official road and marched towards Dangyang.

The gentle spring breeze blew green the endless rice fields, the quietly flowing rivers and streams, the green fields and mountains, and the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou.

It also blew the green of the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou, and the hope of living a peaceful, stable and prosperous life in their hearts was longed.

Farmers are happily busy in the green rice fields, shepherd boys on the back of oxen play melodious flutes, fishermen are leisurely fishing, and woodcutters are singing in the mountains and forests.

The old woman in the village was spinning and laughing loudly. Children chase and play by the lotus pond.

Seeing all this peaceful, leisurely and happy scene, Liu Chan couldn't help but think of the happy life of the paradise in Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" in the later generations: ...... The herbs are delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful...... Enlightened. The land is flat, the houses are like that, there are good fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry bamboo. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Toiling back and forth, yellow hair hanging down, and enjoying himself......

Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source has beautiful scenery, like a fairyland on earth, the people of the peach blossom source are simple, everyone works, the society is stable, and life is happy! Live a happy life without exploitation or oppression, where everyone is happy and free from the world.

End the troubled times of "rather being a peaceful dog than being a chaotic person", create a prosperous and prosperous country, clear and prosperous seas, and return the people of the Han world to a peaceful, happy and prosperous life, and restore the great glory of the Chinese Empire in the past.

This is the only thing Liu Chan wanted to do when he traveled to the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty!

However, how many arduous efforts, how many tears, sweat, and blood must be shed to realize this great ideal, how many bumpy, crooked, and bumpy roads must be taken, and how many precious lives will be sacrificed!

Liu Chan didn't know, and he didn't dare to imagine.

Looking at the still thin bodies of the common people, their vegetable-colored faces, and their burlap clothes, Liu Chan couldn't help but burst into tears, he knew how heavy the burden was on the shoulders of his father, comrades-in-arms, and friends!

Iron shoulders to shoulder morality! From now on, I will begin to take responsibility for the righteousness of the world with my solid shoulders, and seek happiness and well-being for the kind people in the world!
