"Wang Lao is right, what qualifications do you Liu Laocai have to say others, we Gaochun don't welcome you, if it weren't for the mercy of the People's Liberation Army, so that you can live here like us, we would have driven you away a long time ago, you don't know how to be grateful, slander them everywhere, it's really unconscionable."

"That's it!"

Liu Laocai, as a former landlord, is now being chased and beaten like a mouse, and naturally he is unbalanced and wants to find the People's Liberation Army to vent his anger, but he saw that the people wanted, and no one listened to his nonsense, so he fled in disgrace and disappeared.

"It seems that the people still approve of you, the chairman, eldest brother, and I think that except for a few nobles who hate you, the majority of the common people are on the side of us." Lu Xiaoyu said to the Supreme Treasure with a smile.

Supreme Treasure was afraid that he would be recognized by the person who said that he had seen the appearance of himself and Lu Xiaoyu, so he pulled him to the side, "The people recognize us, then we have to work harder to serve them." It seems that some of us here have seen us too, so we'd better not be too ostentatious. As he spoke, the Supreme Treasure pressed down the brim of his straw hat.

Supreme Treasure found that there are two markets in Gaochun County, namely the North and South Market, the South Market mainly sells some food and ingredients, and the North Market sells some daily necessities.

Supreme Treasure is not interested in daily necessities, anyway, many of these daily necessities are from him. They are all convenient daily necessities made by him according to the carpentry in Luban's book combined with what he has seen and heard in modern times, so it doesn't matter if you look at it or not. On the contrary, he knows very little about the food and drink of Nanchu, and he is busy with large and small things in the army on weekdays, and he has no time to worry about eating, all of which are dry food carried by the expedition, in fact, the cooked rice is dried in the sun, and the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army are very desperate. It's all about finding something that can make a stomach go to solve it, anyway, he doesn't feel unpalatable when he eats roughly.

This time, I went to the market, how could I miss the food here? Although under Xiang Yu's previous high-pressure control, the people lived in dire straits, and they didn't know where the next meal would be after eating, and the market was always open, but except for those rich people who came to eat, the rest of the time was very depressed. But despite this, it is not enough to resist the invention of gastronomy, and delicious food is produced in this market every day.

Starting with the staple food, the staple food at that time was basically rice (of course, there were also porridges with similar cooking methods). Of course, it is different from today's rice, which was rice, but at that time there were mainly three kinds of rice: millet, wheat, and rice. Wheat is mainly used for wheat rice, with wild rice. Of course, there are alternative methods, plus vegetables, grains, and possibly meat, boiled into soup, which is also considered a staple food.

There are more modest ways to eat just vegetables and some grains, and of course, there are also luxurious stewed meat soups.

Supreme Bao and Lu Xiaoyu also unexpectedly discovered that there is another staple food, that is, zongzi. At that time, Qu Yuan had already committed suicide by throwing himself into the river in order to make a statement to the king of Chu, and the people commemorated him as a historical development to make zongzi. However, at that time, there were only meat dumplings, and then there were red bean dumplings, red date dumplings and so on. Therefore, it should be said that salty zongzi is the real orthodoxy of zongzi. This makes the Supreme Treasure, who loves to eat salty zongzi, feel particularly proud.

"The guest officer buys two zongzi, fresh and freshly out of the pot, hot and fragrant, after eating, I guarantee that you want to eat another one, it is not delicious and does not need money!" The owner of the zongzi stall said to the Supreme Treasure with a smile.

The supreme treasure can't stand the fragrance of this zongzi, he is also a person who loves zongzi, and he has to eat several meat zongzi every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Seeing that the boss was so enthusiastic, Supreme Treasure couldn't help but buy two meat dumplings. If it was placed in the past, when the People's Liberation Army did not come, it would definitely be watched by many onlookers, because at that time, only rich people could buy meat dumplings, unlike now, when Supreme Treasure ordered every household to raise livestock, and because the grain production developed by Xiao He has increased significantly, these livestock can also be fed, and pork has become commoner.

This meat dumpling is smaller than the modern zongzi, with a unique shape, a square front, and a sharp horn bulging at the back, shaped like an awl, and is brown.

Supreme Treasure can't wait to be polite with Lu Xiaoyu again, peel off a zongzi zongzi, see the rich content inside, the fat infiltrates into the rice, the entrance is delicious, fat but not greasy, there is a strong fragrance of meat and eggs, both fragrant and light, the taste of meat and vegetables are available, sweet and tender, the flavor is better, it is really an indispensable product for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Supreme Treasure can't help but admire.

"Big brother, this zongzi is so delicious, let's buy a few and go back to everyone to eat!" Lu Xiaoyu stuffed a zongzi whole into his mouth, and said to the Supreme Treasure while chewing.

"Pack up, I'll treat you to whatever you want today!" Supreme Treasure said briskly.

When Lu Xiaoyu heard the Supreme Treasure say this, he bought two mentions of twelve zongzi in one go. The boss was stunned, "Guest officer, you're from a foreign country, right?" ”

"Boss, how did you tell that we came from out of town, we have been here for a long time." Lu Xiaoyu said.

"Our locals know that this zongzi is delicious and can't buy so many zongzi at one time, in the past, it was the rich people who would take so many zongzi from us, and now the People's Liberation Army is coming, the people are the masters of the house, and every household will often come to buy zongzi, but it is only two or three to buy, plus now there are no more aristocrats and gentry, and I can't see so many zongzi bought at one time, you are still the first one!"

"We have a lot of people in our family, so we buy it and eat it together." Supreme Treasure smiled and said, for fear of arousing the suspicion of others.

Supreme Treasure and Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly walked to the front stall, and the next meat they saw made Supreme Treasure a little unsure of what to say, that is, the dog meat that is popular in Southern Chu, in the current Yulin and Pei County, etc., are also specialized in the dog meat festival, according to its introduction, Pei County has a history of more than 2,000 years of eating dog meat, when Han Gaozu Liu Bang ate dog meat, Fan Hao sold dog meat. The custom of eating dog meat has long been handed down, and the common people get up in the morning and eat it with roasted cakes, which has been the case for thousands of years.

Supreme Treasure has no interest in this, and he doesn't know how to persuade the people not to eat dog meat, these are their hobbies, and they can't be forced. Supreme Treasure had to take Lu Xiaoyu and leave quickly and then walk forward.

Fan Hao is indeed a dog killer. As for the rest of the meat, since the pre-Qin period, there have been six animal names, namely horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens. Among them, cattle and horses are generally uncommon, and the rest are relatively common meat. However, at that time, meat was a proper luxury, according to Mr. Lu Simian's research in the "History of the Qin and Han Dynasties", at that time, only nobles and the elderly ate meat (this is the old law that the old non-old and noble do not eat meat).
