Chapter 34 Hot Pot?
"Good! Brother Xue's words! It dawned on us! It's like waking up from a dream! ”
"Yes! The King of Qin entered Sichuan, but he only carried 800 armor soldiers with him! Which clan and which clan am I waiting for, don't you easily make up hundreds of soldiers to come out? ”
"Exactly! We will gather tens of thousands of soldiers! Besiege the palace of the King of Qin! Swear not to obey the law of tax reform! It depends on him, King Qin and Zhao Zheng! What else can be done?! ”
All of a sudden, as if they had finally found a feasible way, several patriarch family heads immediately shouted excitedly, and they really wanted to organize family soldiers to besiege King Qin!!
"This, this, this, this ......"
When Hao Niu, the patriarch of the Hao clan, heard this, he was immediately anxious, but in a hurry, he stammered and couldn't speak!
Besiege the palace of the King of Qin and lead troops to persecute the King of Qin!
This is going to be raided!
The heinous sin of the Nine Clans!!
How, how dare you do this?!
"The move...... I'm afraid it's not right! The old man thinks that he still has to think about it in the long run! ”
"Yes, yes, besieging the vassal king! But it's a great sin to punish the nine clans!! ”
"I'm Gu! Don't take part in such rebellion!! ”
But immediately after, there were more patriarchs of the clan, who waved their hands again and again with pale faces, and even refused with words!
Such a dangerous move, taking the lives of thousands of people in the whole clan, why bother?!
"Brother Bai! Brother Xue! If you oppose what the Qin Alliance is plotting! This is such an act of complicity and rebellion! Then I'm Gu! Leave the alliance now! ”
Gu Qi, the patriarch of the Gu clan, strode forward, first gave up, then flicked his sleeve robe, and walked away on the spot!
"I'm Yuan! Also withdraw from these anti-Qin alliances! ”
"I'm Yang! Also withdraw from these anti-Qin alliances! ”
"I, I, I, I! I'm Hao! Also, quit too! Quit!! ”
In an instant, the people who responded were endless, but they all brushed their sleeves away and hurried away.
That panicked look seemed to be afraid that if he left here later, he would be listed as one with such rebellious people and be killed for no reason!
"This, this, this!"
Seeing this, the patriarch of the Xue clan stomped his feet angrily, pointed to the backs of those who left one after another, and almost scolded!
"Straight sissy thief! This group of gallant mice!! ”
Bai Chi couldn't bear it, so he scolded on the spot!
But no matter how many of them vented their dissatisfaction, the Qinchuan clan who were still willing to stay in the White Mansion at this moment and discuss the 'rebellion' with them and others were already very few, and there were only a handful!
"Brother Bai! Look at them! These people ...... Why are you so blind?! ”
Xue Ren looked at Bai Chi angrily, and sighed with regret in his mouth!
"Brother Xue! But you don't have to be so frustrated...... At least all of us are here! This can be a big deal!! ”
Bai Chi glanced at the hall, looking at the familiar faces, and felt a great sense of certainty!
At present, the Qinchuan clan who are still in Baifu and are willing to advance and retreat together with Bai and Xue Er, naturally there are also the Huang clan, the Li clan, and the Wang clan, the three clans of the patriarch who were beheaded by the prince of Qin!
is so unsympathetic, but how can you let it go lightly?!
In addition, there are the other six, who have not lost the patriarch, but have been portrayed by the patriarch of the second clan of Bai Xue, or the Qinchuan clan who is unwilling to change from the Qin king's tax reform!
In this way, even if most of the Qinchuan clans have chosen to retreat, there are still eleven clans who are willing to stay in the anti-Qin alliance and resist the tyranny and harsh taxes of the King of Qin!!
Among them, among the eight clans of Qinchuan alone, there are the three major clans of Bai, Xue, and Wang!
Especially the Bai clan and the Xue clan are among the top families in the Qinchuan clan! !
The alliance formed by these eleventh clans is definitely a huge force that is difficult to resist!
Therefore, even if he did not get more support from the clan, Bai Chi, the head of the Bai clan, was still full of confidence and ambition for the next big thing!
"Ladies and gentlemen! I'm in three days! Gather at least 5,000 family soldiers! And at least 3,000 people can wield swords and bows! At least 500 people can wear leather armor!! ”
So, in the face of this group of like-minded hardcore allies, Bai Chi did not hide his family background at all, and almost exhausted the strength of the entire clan, vowing to fight desperately!
"Good! Brother Bai really got it! With your 5,000 soldiers as the foundation! What is planned today...... But I can sit back and relax! ”
When Xue Ren heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly followed, raised three fingers and shouted!
"I'm Xue! Also available in less than three days! Gather at least 3,000 family soldiers! And at least a thousand people can wield swords and bows! At least 200 people can wear leather armor! ”
In the moment, the judgment is made!
The Bai clan really deserves to be the first clan in Qinchuan, but its family background is more than a star and a half stronger than the second largest clan, the Xue clan? !
But Bai and Xue Er alone have gathered a full 8,000 soldiers!
Such a good thing immediately caused everyone in the hall to increase their confidence, and they shouted loudly as if they were out of their homes!
"I'm Wang! Also available in less than three days! Gather at least 2,000 soldiers!! ”
"And I'm Huang! Also available in less than three days! Gather at least 1,500 soldiers!! ”
"And I'm Lee! Although it is not as deep as your family background! But at least it's enough to gather a thousand soldiers!! ”
Suddenly, all the clans in the hall were enthusiastic!
But you come from a thousand to me to eight hundred, and you eight hundred to me five hundred!
A total of eleven clans, and in the end, they were superimposed, and there were more than 20,000 people!!
It must be known that in the entire Hanyang City, there are only 20,000 guards stationed in Hanyang City every day!
And the 20,000 guards stationed in the city should be under the command of His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
However, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has only been in Qin for more than three months, and three of them have been inspecting the border passes!
The amount of time spent in Hanyang Castle is numbered, and you can even count it on two hands!
In such a short period of time, Mo said that such a major matter of handing over military affairs, even the current affairs of the county were maintained by the original county officials as usual, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin did not have time to interfere in the slightest!
What's more, the 20,000 garrison guards in the city are not something that His Royal Highness King Qin can easily manage if he wants to intervene!
At present, the power to command the army is firmly in the hands of Taishou Yaofei, not to mention, the centurion and the thousand-commander of the 20,000 garrison guards, and even the captains, partial generals and other important positions in the army, almost more than 90% of them are from the Qinchuan clan!
Among them, there are no less than dozens of people from the three major clans of the Bai clan, the Xue clan, and the Wang clan!
Under such circumstances, how could this garrison guard help King Qin to deal with his own people?
Taishou Yaofei was already in power, how could he be willing to help King Qin, so that he could smoothly take over the military power, and then completely empty himself of the defense of a county?!
Of course, this garrison guard definitely did not dare to participate in the siege of the palace of King Qin!
But as long as this garrison doesn't help King Qin, with King Qin's poor 800 armor guards, how can they turn the sky upside down? ?
Therefore, if the 20,000 thousand soldiers of all clans besiege the palace, as long as they do not forcibly attack the palace and do not threaten the life and safety of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, then Taishou Yaofei can sit on the stage and watch the play, without sending a single soldier, but see how His Royal Highness the King of Qin should end this matter?
At that time, he King Qin called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective, except for the ridiculous tax policy of obediently retracting the order and abolishing the apportionment into the mu......
But what else can be done?!
And the eleven clans that took the lead in making such a sensation in the world and fighting for power and profit for the world's clans will be destined to be famous all over the world and recorded in history!!
Thinking of this, the eleven patriarchs of the clan couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of fiery feelings......
……
"Yun'er, today the imperial brother is going to take you to eat a delicious delicacy in the world that you have never tasted!"
In the palace of King Qin, Zhao Zheng faced a copper pot that was being boiled, with peppers, peppercorns and other things tumbling in it, and smiled mysteriously at Yun Mei beside him.
"Huh? What is it, Brother Huang! What's delicious?! ”
Zhao Yun is a hardcore foodie, and when he heard that the imperial brother had invented something delicious in the world, before he could start the chopsticks, his saliva was already flowing down.
"Oh~ that's it!"
Zhao Zheng smiled and pursed his mouth, and motioned to the copper pot in front of him that was boiling hot and constantly steaming out.
"Huh? That's it, Brother Huang? ”
Zhao Yun looked at the cauldron in front of him in a bit of confusion, except for seeing that the soup in it was as red as pepper, but he didn't know what else to eat?
Can't always ...... Eat the pepper directly boiled, right?
"Haha! It's just a hot pot base! Next, I have to eat shabu-shabu! ”
Zhao Zhengshu smiled and waved his hand, and then motioned to Wan'er to present the dishes prepared in advance one by one, but there were all kinds of vegetables, freshly cut meat, staple beans, everything.
And everything was divided into parts, neatly stacked in a small plate, and then sorted out on the case.
"What's that? Chafing dish? Shabu-shabu?? ”
Zhao Yun has lived for so many years, and he can be regarded as well-informed in this palace, but he has never heard of such a strange way of eating!
She watched as Wan'er put a plate of dishes into the boiling water, and then it instantly blended with the red pepper soup, and then ......
And then there is no more!
"Brother Huang! Is this what you say, a delicacy on earth that I have never tasted?! ”
Zhao Yun was almost dumbfounded on the spot!
It's a fact that I've never seen and eaten this kind of peculiar way of eating, but I have to say something delicious in the world......
But it's a bit too exaggerated, right??
How can you just throw a half-cooked dish in the pot and blend it with the spicy soup cooked with peppers, even if it is a delicacy in the world that has never been eaten?!
Let's not talk about whether it's delicious or not, whether it can be cooked or not, and whether it can be eaten or not?
I'm afraid it's hard to say, right??
"Haha! Don't worry! You'll know if you taste it! ”
Zhao Zheng waved his hand indifferently, signaling Yun Mei not to worry, and she would know after tasting it.
You must know this hot pot, but I have always missed the gluttonous food!
That kind of spicy, that kind of pleasure, that kind of excitement!
It's completely different from any other cuisine!!
It is not unreasonable to know that the category of hot pot can be sought after by so many people in later generations, and even become popular all over the world!
Therefore, Zhao Zheng is naturally unavoidable, and his love for hot pot can almost be said to have reached an obsession!
Therefore, when he saw the pepper for the first time, the first thought that flashed through his heart!
Not a barbecue!
It's hot pot!!
So he took the trouble to teach Wan'er carefully, and tried his best to use pale language to describe the unique ecstasy taste of hot pot in later generations!
Then Wan'er used spices such as pepper, lard, pepper, star anise, fennel, ginger and so on, constantly tried and errored, and continued to taste it herself, so she tossed for a month or two in a row, and finally finally came up with a little hot pot base, and barely had some taste and feeling of hot pot in later generations.
But I can't bear it anymore, and I'm ready to have a good meal, the first meal since the crossing!
Chafing dish!!
"Come on, Yun'er, how about a taste?"
Seeing that the beef that went in had been boiled for a long time, and the color finally changed, Zhao Zhengdang even picked up a piece of beef and put it in Yun Mei's bowl, and then looked at her expectantly.
- Although this beef has been told to cut to the thinnest as much as possible, after all, it is still not as thin as the beef rolls of later generations, so what is the taste of this is actually even a little unsound in Zhao Zheng's heart for a while.
"Huh? Is this okay to eat, Brother Huang? Is it really cooked? ”
Zhao Yun stared blankly at the beef that the imperial brother personally sandwiched, and a string of question marks couldn't help but appear on her immature little face......
That's it?
That's all??
After a little shabu-shabu, it's ripe?
Can you eat it??
Could the royal brother be ...... Let me taste it for him?!
"Harm~! You can eat it with confidence! It's definitely a new experience like you've never had before!! ”
Zhao Zheng replied with an affirmative face, signaling Yun'er that you can eat with confidence, there is no problem!
"Oh? Is that really the case......"
Zhao Yun frowned her little face, looking at the incomparably sincere smile of the imperial brother, she naturally did not choose to doubt in her heart, but finally made up her mind, picked up the beef in the bowl, and stuffed it into her mouth in one bite!
"Ha ......"
The moment she entered her mouth, Zhao Yun only felt extremely hot, and she couldn't help but snort a few times when she was hot!
But immediately afterwards, there was an indescribable sensation of numbness, spiciness, freshness, and fragrance, which spread wantonly in the mouth and exploded instantly!
"Wow!"
This bizarre, indescribable feeling of refreshment and excitement made Zhao Yun can't help but shout 'wow' on the spot!
"Brother Huang! Brother Huang! Is this what you call hot pot? Isn't that delicious?! ”
Zhao Yun, a snack goods, took a bite to eat, but she was suddenly aroused by the rich spicy and fresh fragrance, and shouted with great satisfaction, while already moving her little hands and hurriedly copied it!
"Hmm...... Delicious! Delicious!! ”
After eating a hot pot, the cool Zhao Yun couldn't help but applaud repeatedly!
Even though the small mouth has been spicy and can't close the mouth, and the lips are even redder, he still can't stop his little hands, and he frequently stretches straight into the pot.
"Haha! Delicious, right? ”
Zhao Zheng also ate very happily, and when he saw Yun'er's satisfied expression, he felt even more happy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"How? Have you eaten enough? Would you like another staple food? ”
Yun'er nodded again and again when she heard this, shaking while eating, and her little head couldn't stop shaking.
Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and when he got up, he picked up a plate of evenly cut slender noodles and put them in the pot with his hands.
"Come, Brother Huang will give you ...... to eat"
……
"Barbecue, hot pot, are all famous food in Qinchuan!
However, the initiator is the king of a country, dare to believe it?
Such a person who loves food, is greedy for profit, has no virtue, and is unrighteous, will not he be faint for the sake of profit, and the poor and luxurious will be faint? ”
