Poyang Lake, the largest inland freshwater lake in China, is located in the north of Jiangxi Province in later generations. However, in the Han Dynasty, there was no concept of Jiangxi Province in later generations, and a Jiujiang County was set up in the Qin Dynasty, and it belonged to Yangzhou in the Han Dynasty, and the county was located in Yuzhang, which was later Nanchang City.

In addition, Yangzhou in the Han Dynasty was not the Yangzhou of later generations, but the concept of a great Yangzhou, which roughly included Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and some Guangdong regions in later generations, and the territory was quite vast. However, because the economically and culturally developed areas at that time were mainly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, although Yangzhou in the Han Dynasty was large, the overall development level was too much inferior to that of the counties in the Central Plains.

The words are a bit far-fetched, just to say that at this time, Lu Ren took Minchan and Lu Lan to drive a small boat on Poyang Lake, and from time to time scooped up bunches of green aquatic plants from the water of Poyang Lake, and after shaking off some of the water on the aquatic weeds, he threw them into the big bamboo basket on the boat.

This aquatic plant is the special pear artemisia in Poyang Lake, which will have a faint aroma of herbs in the mouth after stir-frying and cooking, and if it is fried with bacon, the flavor is even better. In later generations, fried bacon with pear artemisia is a famous dish in Nanchang, and the aborigines of Nanchang who are serious about this dish are all in love with this dish, so that there is such a sentence in the mouth of Nanchang people, called "the grass of Poyang Lake, the treasure of Nanchang people", which shows the love of Nanchang people for this dish. Even if there is no bacon, just fried pear artemisia like stir-fried vegetables, the taste is actually very good.

Lu Ren also liked this dish, but when he first arrived at Poyang Lake after the crossing, he found that people at that time had not regarded pear artemisia as an edible vegetable, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity. After managing food production for so long before, Lu Ren knew very well that the vegetables at that time were not so easy to grow, and now there are so many vegetables that can be eaten, but they are allowed to rot in the lake, which is simply a criminal waste?

But seeing that Lu Lan threw a large handful of pear artemisia into the basket again...... It is said to be labor. But for Lan Yatou, this is not much different from playing, so Lu Lan is also having a lot of fun. The pear artemisia she picked up alone is probably more than the number of Lu Ren and Minchan combined. And after this basket, Lu Ren hurriedly called Lu Lan and said: "Okay Xiaolan, I can't fit it if I pick it again." ”

Lu Lan answered, washed her hands in the lake water, and then sat opposite Lu Ren, watching Lu Ren wash the leaves of the pear artemisia and pinch it into sections. After looking at it for a while, Lu Lan couldn't help but ask, "My lord, can this aquatic plant really be eaten?" ”

Lu Ren smiled and ignored it, and then saw that there was already a basket of pear artemisia that he had picked out. It seems that there are about three catties to say the least, and it must be at least a few large plates when it is fried. Thinking about it, Lu Ren asked Minchan to row the boat back to the shore.

At this time, on the shore, some servants had already set up pots and stoves, waiting for Lu Ren and them to return. Perhaps there may not seem anything too special about this matter, but if you know the person who has left on the shore, you will probably exclaim...... This Nima is Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao!

In fact, it is not uncommon for Xiao Qiao to run out to play at this time, after all, the behavior requirements for women in the late Han Dynasty were not as harsh as after the Song Dynasty, and it was very common for widows to remarry. And in this kind of autumn season. It's not a big deal for the young lady or something to come out and step into the green.

In addition to these, Xiao Qiao will follow Lu Ren to Poyang Lake to go to Poyang Lake, and there is another layer of hidden secrets. It is said that the husband is not guilty and is guilty, and Lu Ren's "talent" is Lu Ren's "wall", Zhou Yu really wants to help Sun Quan bring a talent like Lu Ren into his command. At the very least, Lu Renlao can't be allowed to stay there in Jingzhou.

In this case, Zhou Yu likes music and rhythm, so it is true that he wants to get a lot of music scores from Lu Ren, but on the other hand, Zhou Yu is also using this way to drag Lu Ren in Chaisang. In order to hope that Liu Biao will misunderstand and doubt Lu Ren. It's just that Zhou Yu is the commander of one side after all, and he is always busy with military affairs, so he collects music scores and uses this to delay Lu Ren's affairs. Zhou Yu can only leave it to Xiao Qiao to do.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu's purpose is to highlight how close the relationship between himself and Lu Ren is, and the closer the better. Because the closer he and Lu Ren appeared, the easier it was to turn back to Liu Biao's side to make Liu Biao suspicious of Lu Ren, and the easier it was for Zhou Yu's purpose to be achieved.

At that time, there was a concept that if the relationship between the two parties was close enough, then the men and women on both sides did not have to deliberately observe etiquette and avoid suspicion when carrying out social activities, which probably meant that they regarded each other as relatives.

For example, when Lu Bu just defected to Liu Bei, in order to get closer to Liu Bei, he asked his wife Tian and Minchan to come out to meet Liu Bei, and Lu Bu even wanted to call Liu Bei "brother"; When Cao Cao first took Jingzhou, in order to win over Cai Mao, the head snake, he went to Cai Mao's mansion and went straight to the back hall, telling Cai Mao's wife and concubine that he had a very good relationship with Cai Mao.

Now Zhou Yu wants to be very close to Lu Ren, but Lu Ren is a guy who has traveled through, even if he has been in this era for ten years, but he still has the concept of equality between men and women in his bones, so he has never been afraid to let his wife come out to meet people, and even run around with his wife when he has nothing to do, which undoubtedly gives Zhou Yu an opportunity to be very close to Lu Ren...... "Mrs. diplomacy" This kind of card, the ancients would have played it a long time ago.

After a certain number of visits and exchanges between the two families, and they have a corresponding emotional foundation for each other, when Lu Ren said that he wanted to go to Poyang Lake to play, Xiao Qiao would of course lead Lu Ren as a guide in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. And in addition to helping Zhou Yu get closer to Lu Ren, Xiao Qiao always heard Lu Ren say that the aquatic plants in Poyang Lake were edible, so he also wanted to find a chance to give it a try.

This is not Xiao Qiao's gluttony, but the so-called foodie attribute in later generations. In fact, Zhou Yu is an excellent commander, and such a commander is often more concerned about the food and clothing of his subordinates. But don't think that the ancients didn't understand the principle of meal matching and balanced nutrition, but it was not as detailed as the understanding and analysis of this aspect by later generations, so Zhou Yu has always been concerned that the supply of fruits and vegetables that his subordinates can get is not sufficient.

As Zhou Yu's wife, Xiao Qiao often hears Zhou Yu's helplessness about the supply of grain and grass. Later, when Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao to visit Lu Ren at the dock for the first time, Lu Ren mentioned the aquatic plants and autumn crabs in Poyang Lake purely to find some topics, and Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao invariably left a snack on this matter.

Autumn crab is not much to say, everyone knows that it is a good thing, but this thing belongs to the luxury family after all. Not to mention that in that era, even in modern times when it could be raised on a large scale, it had to be dozens of yuan a catty, and it was naturally impossible to use it as a dish to accompany the military in peacetime. As soon as you grab it, it is a handful of aquatic plants, if it can really become an ordinary vegetable as Lu Ren said, it can make the soldiers in the army have one more dish to eat. So Xiao Qiao came with him today, just waiting for Lu Ren and them to get the pear artemisia water grass back, and Xiao Qiao will go back to inform Zhou Yu after trying to identify and confirm that there is no problem.

After a lot of gossip, it was only said that after Lu Ren and them came back, Xiao Qiao took a few pear wormwoods picked by Lu Ren and examined them carefully, in order to keep them in mind. At the same time, Xiao Qiao naturally had to carefully note how Lu Ren removed the leaves and left the stems of the pear artemisia, and then how to make the pear artemisia ripe and edible.

In fact, the method of pear artemisia is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than to put the pear artemisia in the pot after the oil is hot, stir-fry enough and then add a little salt to taste, and after it is cooked, you can put it out of the pot and serve it on the plate, which is really simple and convenient. In a sense, this kind of dish that can be eaten after simple processing really meets the needs of the army at that time. After all, in many cases, there is no time in the barracks for you to make those complicated dishes.

Looking at Lu Ren's uproar, a plate of the simplest and most convenient vegetarian fried pear artemisia came out of the pot. Xiao Qiao, who had been watching attentively from the side, hesitated slightly, then took the plate handed over by Lu Ren, and first took some into his mouth to taste. And under this taste, Xiao Qiao's eyebrows were raised. Because as Lu Ren has always said, there is a faint medicinal fragrance after the pear artemisia is cooked, and it is very refreshing to eat in the mouth, and it is obviously no problem to use it for cooking.

Then Lu Ren put the second plate of pear artemisia into the pot. Although it is still vegetarian stir-fried, this plate of Lu Ren has added some chili powder that he brought...... If the Nanchang people of later generations don't put some spicy taste when eating pear artemi, they always feel that something is wrong, and even Lu Ren thinks so.

However, as soon as these chili powders were in the pot, Xiao Qiao and the servants next to him choked enough, and there was no need to explain the reason, after all, it was normal for people who had never touched chili peppers to suddenly encounter chili peppers. But choking, after this plate of spicy dishes came out of the pot and tasted it for Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao's pair of eyebrows almost didn't rise to the top of his head.

Next, the standard fried bacon with pear artemisia was ready to be put into the pot, and at this time, Xiao Qiao was already involuntarily getting closer and closer to the pot stove. As a noblewoman, Xiao Qiao naturally doesn't have to cook; But as a woman, Xiao Qiao will always have the mentality of wanting to make a good dish and make it for Zhou Yu when Zhou Yu comes back. Now that this dish is simple and easy to make, the flavor is unique and excellent, so I naturally want to learn how to make it.

Xiao Qiao's moves, why hasn't Lu Ren been paying attention to them? Now seeing that Xiao Qiao was so close, Lu Ren couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, and the spatula in his hand was slightly broken, and a few drops of water fell into the boiling oil layer in the pot. And when the water falls into the boiling oil, there will only be one situation......

"Oops!!"

"What's wrong with you, Mrs. Joe!?" (To be continued.) )
