Chapter 6: Buying Hearts and Minds

Cao Shi pretended to nod deeply, he didn't know the ancient names of these spices, fortunately, the officials stared at the kitchen with wide eyes and threw the wood into the stove to start the fire, and then threw it into the charcoal fan to start a fire, and it didn't take long for the flames to swish up, and the officials who had never seen the charcoal to start the fire showed a look of shock.

"The legend that the black stone can ignite fire is indeed true, how can this flame be so vigorous?"

"I haven't heard that stones can start fires, I don't know what the origin of black stones can be ignited?"

It was not only ordinary officials who were shocked, but Fan Itguang, who had seen charcoal in the blacksmith workshop, and Uncle Chen and others also showed surprise: "The prince is wonderful, I don't know what is the solution to charcoal fire?" โ€

Lu does not harm to suffer: "The ancient name of the black stone is called charcoal, the essence of the charcoal plant and tree, deposited for millions of years, the fire of ordinary plants and trees is difficult to ignite, only the high fire and strong wind can be burned to help the combustion, when the charcoal is burned, a kind of charcoal gas is produced, this charcoal gas also has the ability to burn, but this gas is poisonous ordinary people can not approach, and it is suffocated when it is near. โ€

"Where did the Lu family eunuch know?" Uncle Chen stared at the cook and threw a piece of fat mutton into the heated iron pot. It is difficult to retort the elliptical pump of the grub?? Boil?? Is it difficult to freeze the Yu plate? Vast? Restore Huan Liang said that the twilight cut Song low gear??? Tan Chan ่ฏ“่‹่‚€่ฉ่ฐฐ? Playing on the beach โŠ™ the ?? p> "What the prince said, but write it down below." Lu Buxian was also distracted, hurriedly ate some dry food in the morning and hurried into the iron pot, and in the afternoon, he was hungry and smelled the aroma of mutton and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

??? Huh? p > fat mutton fat was fried out a little bit, but after a while, the skin of the kung fu mutton was fried yellow, and the chef Xi personally went into battle to fry the ginger and garlic with the bottom oil in the pot, poured spices, turbid wine, and sauce to make a delicious roast mutton, and the rich aroma came to the nostrils when it was served on the case, and the officials swallowed their saliva wildly, if they were not worried about the loss of honor in front of the king, they would definitely not be able to pinch a piece and taste it.

With the first course foreshadowing, people are looking forward to the dishes that follow.

Cook Xi picked up the light pig iron pot with a wooden spatula to stir-fry the beef, the fungus and green garlic were cooked when they saw the fire, and in a moment it was a dish out of the pot, he had never been so happy as today, once upon a time cooking for the prince was a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, Dading heated the upper drawer of the retort need to cut wood to make a fire, the so-called kitchen is more like a fireman who can cook.

The morning meal needs to be prepared two hours in advance, and the main meal in the evening needs to be prepared from the morning, and the two meals are rushed back and forth from day to night.

The six cooks spent half an hour to make 20 dishes, including pigs, cattle, sheep, fish, chickens and ducks, and all seasonal fruits and vegetables were used in the vegetables.

Uncle Chen pinched his beard and said, "I didn't expect ordinary iron utensils to cook delicious food, and I want to come to Taiyishen to enjoy the delicious food!" โ€

Sun Qi patted his stomach and said nothing, many people are still enjoying a full meal, the idea of the Han Dynasty is very simple, full food, sleep, worry-free is a good life comparable to fairyland.

Fan Qiguang sighed: "This thing is dedicated to the Son of Heaven, and it will definitely make the reputation of the prince spread far and wide." โ€

"Only when you are well fed can you have the strength to do good deeds, if the people of the world can eat well, the son of heaven of the Han family is not far from the way of the holy monarch three generations ago, what I have to do is to take the people of the Hou country to eat well, so that the people in the Hou Mansion can wear good clothes and live a stable life."

The officials of the Hou Mansion praised the benevolence of the monarch, and he didn't care too much, there was a saying that the people took food as the sky in ancient times, and the people's hearts always revolved around food, clothing, housing, and transportation, thinking that the bureaucrats who were easy to fool the common people were just a mediocre official who took power all his life.

Cao Shi handed over a plate of stewed meat to Wei Junru to eat, but she was extremely timid, she would rather hold her stomach and starve than dare not accept the gift, she was still worried that there was no place for the maid in the dining venue, especially afraid of the blame of the literary master Fan Itguang, the sentence "for personal reasons" always lingered in her ears, and it was more sad than receiving hundreds of whips.

Wei Junru changed from the lowest servant girl to the highest level of the royal maid, and the corresponding changes also fell on the six brothers and sisters of the Wei family, Wei Changjun, the son of the Wei family, was promoted to one level and became the small leader in the Hou Mansion.

The focus is on Wei Zifu and Wei Qing, the sister and brother are too young, the older Wei Zifu is only eleven years old and Wei Qing is only nine years old, another person would never have thought that the future trajectory of the cute little Lori and Xiao Zhengtai is extremely bright, Cao Shi thought about it left and right, and felt that the sister and brother should be put aside to cultivate first.

Grooming and cleaning Wei Junru is eye-catching, even if she has seen many beauties in her previous life, she must admit that her foundation is good, if she puts on a cool summer dress in her previous life and walks on the street, the rate of turning back is explosive, if you want to say that the problem is that the thin body is a little worse, and there is poor nutrition, she is short, according to the Han Dynasty, she is about six feet four inches tall, about just over one meter five.

Wei Junru said that her third sister Wei Zifu likes to sing and dance, and the Houfu musician praised her singing voice as beautiful as a spring bird, and her younger brother Wei Qing has been strong since he was a child, and his appetite is two or three times greater than that of his peers.

As smart as she was, she also noticed the special importance that the prince attached to his sister and younger brother: "If the prince likes his husband, it is better to raise him for a few years and adopt him as a maidservant, and his sister will definitely be very happy." โ€

"It's enough for me to accept you alone, and the children, son-in-law and A-Qing have other important arrangements." Cao Shi was secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't expect that the crooked beating was prying the corner of Gongsun He, and Wei Junru did not marry Gongsun He but went into his pocket, so that the Wei family was completely tied to his chariot, and there was at least no need to worry about personal safety with the Wei family as a talisman.

A full meal unexpectedly improved the recognition of Cao Shi by the officials of the Hou Mansion, the previous ten years of childish Cao Shi was cowardly, and the three years of filial piety were also the courage and decisiveness of the ancestors who did not see the rules.

Hou Ling Chang Ding Hui failed to find fault, and ran away with a gray wolf bรจi in the Hou Mansion, but this does not mean that he will give up, there are many people in the Hou Mansion who are familiar with Ding Hui's temperament, and from Uncle Chen's description, he knows that this person is narrow-minded and will be rewarded, and he prefers to take advantage of the small advantage of the Hou Mansion in Pingyang, and every time he goes to the Hou Mansion, he always has to make some benefits and leave.

This time, Ding Hui came back and returned from a bad situation, and he would inevitably try his best to find a way to get back to the field, so the master of the family, Sun Qi, summoned the family to strengthen the patrol of the Hou Mansion, and Uncle Chen also asked the family officials who were working outside to be vigilant and be careful of being caught and waved under the pretext.

After more than ten days of calm and calm, Ding Hui did not move at all, and the defensive patrols in the Hou Mansion were gradually relaxed, and Cao Shi followed the requirements of Feng Yigong to do a physical examination.

Feng Xin pinched his beard and said: "Congratulations to the prince, now your body is as strong as a cow, the sequelae of cold disease have been completely removed, and the prince must take good care of his body to live a long life." โ€

"Thank you for Dr. Feng's careful care, if it weren't for Dr. Feng's wonderful hands to rejuvenate, I would still be suffering from cold on the sickbed at this moment." Cao Shi kept doing push-ups with his hands on the ground, eighty push-ups in one breath is the current limit, and the physique of the Han Dynasty people is generally very good, even if the food and clothing are slightly poor, they have a strong body.

"Junhou's self-created fitness technique is very wonderful, and it is really sore to imitate Junhou's fitness technique for a few days, but the spirit is really more vigorous in the past two days." Feng Xin had a goatee and a gray head, looking like an old man in his fifties and sixties, but in fact he was only in his forties.

The ancients had a bad diet and improper maintenance, and the common people usually aged significantly after the age of thirty, Feng Xincai was in his forties, hunched over and white-headed, like an old man, every time he saw the wrinkled old face, Cao Shi secretly told himself to take good care of his body.

"Feng Yigong, did you say that Canggong thought about creating a set of fitness techniques back then?"

Feng Xin thought back for a while and shook his head, among Chun Yuyi's followers, his qualifications were relatively old, he was originally an ordinary medical worker whose qualifications were not excellent in the Qi Wang's family, but he only got Chun Yuyi's true medical skills after marrying Chun Yuyi's third daughter, and he studied for more than 20 years until Chun Yuyi died of illness before becoming a teacher.

"Back then, Canggong offended the Qi family and was almost killed, although he was spared death for some reason, he was expelled from Qi and wandered around, and in the next few years, he followed Canggong all the way to practice medicine and saw a lot of things, but Canggong did not create any physical fitness techniques."

A little disappointed when he saw Cao, Feng Xin said again: "However, I heard that Master Canggong inherited Bian Que's lineage and has a set of fitness techniques called Wufowl Opera, but I haven't seen this set of fitness techniques with my own eyes, so I don't dare to be sure whether it's true or not." โ€

"Five fowl plays?"

Cao Shi immediately became excited, his name is really familiar, I really didn't expect this to be Bian Que's bodybuilding technique, doesn't that mean that Hua Tuo hundreds of years later is also passed on by Bian Que: "Can someone learn the five poultry operas passed down by Canggong?" Who is that man? โ€

"If anyone learns, it should be Chun Yu Tiying and her husband Wang Yu, this couple is the heirs of the mantle that Canggong admires the most, and they have already gone to Zhao Di to practice medicine long before Canggong died."

"Zhao Di?" Cao Shi was very disappointed, in the past few days, he learned from Uncle Chen's conversation that he, the prince, could not even run rampant in Hedong County, and the scope of his activities was only the consequences and the two points and one line of Jingshi Chang'an.

Feng Xin's medical skills and medical ethics are good, and he was rewarded with two thousand yuan and two horses of linen cloth according to the system for the merit of treating the Pingyang Hou, and he happily received the reward and put forward a request to serve the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Uncle Chen also felt that many medical workers in the Hou Mansion who could treat the disease and save people were very good, and Cao Shi agreed almost without thinking about it when he learned the news.

In this era, what he cares about the most is health and safety, and he hopes to live for more than 100 years like Zhang Cang, Fu Sheng, and Feng Tang.

Cao Shi commanded Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er sisters to do sit-ups, looked at Wei Shao'er's very painful little face, and thought to himself: "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, speaking of which, these two are both alive, as well as Wei Zifu, Wei Qing and other celebrities, in retrospect, it is good to come to this era unintentionally." โ€

ps: The three dynasties refer to the three dynasties of the Xia and Shang dynasties, because the Western Han Dynasty was preceded by the Great Qin Empire, and then it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so the Western Han people at that time liked to talk about the three generations ago, how to descend after the three generations, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient times, and the three generations in ancient times, and the earlier Yao Shunyu.
