"That's right, this is the number one fierce horse in the Western Regions - the grass mud horse!"

This time, without waiting for General Weilong to speak, why should General Zhengbei already speak.

He glanced at His Royal Highness King Qin rather suspiciously, but he didn't know why His Highness was laughing.

You must know that this grass and mud horse is the best horse that any cavalry can dream of!

However, he didn't care about these details, but took the initiative to introduce it in detail to His Royal Highness King Qin.

"This horse has a strong body, a thick torso, solid and powerful limbs, a rough and strong physique, and is extremely resistant to loads, which can be described as an excellent high-class military horse!"

Between the words, there is a faint sense of envy.

If Daqian can have such an iron cavalry army, why worry about Beidi's injustice?

But when I thought of something, I couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

"It's just that because of this, the horse is extremely fierce, and it is often extremely difficult to tame, and even the Di people want to tame this Western Regions fierce horse as a military horse, which can be described as extremely difficult! Therefore, among the Di people, a special profession was born, which was dedicated to taming such fierce horses for a living! ”

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he was immediately curious, and turned his head to ask with a smile.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Why bother stroking his beard and said with a smile.

"Not bad! They are the famous Beidi horse tamers on the grassland......"

Speaking of which, why pause for a moment before speaking.

"Zaun Horse Hunter!"

"Poof!"

Zhao Zheng finally couldn't hold back this time, but he laughed out loud immediately with a 'poof'!

"Hahahaha! Zaun Horse Hunter!! ”

I'm Nima...... Also Zuan Horse Hunters?

This thief is too good, isn't it?!

"Your Highness, this ......"

Everyone immediately looked at each other, but they really didn't know why His Highness laughed for no reason.

"Ah no, no, this king is just curious...... Why do these horse trainers call them Zaun Horse Hunters? ”

Zhao Zheng forcibly held back a smile again and asked reluctantly.

"Your Highness doesn't know that this grass and mud horse is mostly active in the hinterland of the Di people, just near the city of Zu'an, the capital of their country, so most of the Northern Di horse tamers are also active near Zu'an, and over time they are named after the Zu'an horse hunters......"

Zhao Zheng couldn't stop laughing, and waved his hand weakly, indicating that he knew.

"That being the case...... Then such a good military horse should be quite rare? ”

Zhao Zheng casually glanced around the large stables, but only found this Western Regions grass mud horse, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That's right, this grass mud horse is also very rare among the Di people, and Beidi regards it as a strategic military product for long-term control, so it rarely flows into the Central Plains and Kyushu, let alone the establishment of an army......"

Speaking of this, why can't help but sigh lightly, with a look of regret on his face.

The reason why Beidi is so tricky is because of the extremely powerful mobility of its cavalry, and in addition to the innate bravery of the Beidi nomads, the high-class military horses in the Western Regions such as Beidi and Xirong are the core of the key!

Therefore, military horses have always belonged to the strictly controlled military products of Beidi, and it is almost difficult to flow into the Central Plains.

Otherwise, if Daqian has such an unhindered army of iron cavalry, why worry about Rong Di not being destroyed?

"Hmm......"

Zhao Zheng bowed his head slightly, and at this point he had lost interest in the strange things in the Western Regions, and immediately said.

"General He, then let's go back to the house, shall we?"

Why bother to suddenly surrender his hand when he heard the words, and said respectfully.

"The last general will obey the king's command!"

……

Qin Longsai General's Mansion

"General He, before the king rushed to Qinchuan, the eldest brother gave me two tokens and specially asked me to hand them over to you......"

In the main hall, Zhao Zhengping retreated left and right, and when only he and General He were left, he took out the congratulatory gift given to him by Zhao Kuo, the emperor's brother, and handed it over to General He in person.

"Your Highness, this is ......"

Why bother with sharp eyes, staring at the two tokens in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qin.

I saw that the two objects were a delicate and simple gorgeous jade plaque, and a secret letter and silk book sealed with fire paint.

"This is my Ho ...... House Head Token?? ”

Why bother just took the token, and suddenly saw the words of the jade plate clearly, and suddenly his hands couldn't help but tremble, and he looked at His Royal Highness King Qin with a shocked face!

How could such an important family master token in his own clan appear in the hands of His Royal Highness King Qin?!

"It's just that Empress He instructed the eldest brother to transfer it to General He with me......"

Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, but handed the secret letter to General He again.

"Then ...... this secret letter?"

Why bother to raise his head again in disbelief, vaguely guessing a certain possibility in his heart, but only to feel that his throat suddenly felt a little dry.

"Yes, it was written by Empress He herself!"

Zhao Zheng immediately nodded, indicating that this secret letter was written by General He's own sister, Empress He Yan!

As soon as the words fell, why bother's body trembled suddenly, and then he hurriedly held his hands and respectfully accepted the secret letter from the queen.

"Your Highness, ......"

Why bother to take the secret letter and silk book, knowing in his heart that the content of this letter must be related to Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, so he raised his head at the moment, looked at His Royal Highness the King of Qin with his eyes, and signaled if he could open the package and read it on the spot?

"Please ......"

Zhao Zheng waved his hand casually with an indifferent face, signaling that he would like to take care of himself.

With the approval of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, why bother no longer hesitated, he immediately broke the fire paint mark, took out the secret letter and silk book from it, and unfolded it on the spot to read.

"This ......"

The content of the silk book is very simple, but it is only a few words, but it makes the heart of the general of Zhengbei jump sharply, and the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qin are even more different!

Who would have thought ...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin has just entered Qinchuan!

She can be so valued by Yan'er!!

No, according to what His Royal Highness the King of Qin said, the main token of this family and the secret letter of the queen had already been handed over to him by Kuo'er when he had just been crowned king and before rushing to Qinchuan!

And not only that, Yan'er not only wrote a secret letter in the hands of the queen, but also temporarily lent the family head token to His Royal Highness King Qin, and then transferred it to herself!

What does this mean?

This is naturally passed on silently, and helping King Qin is not only the meaning of Yan'er and Kuo'er, but also the meaning of the entire He family!

With these two tokens in front of him, why bother with the general of the expedition to the north who had a very good impression of His Royal Highness King Qin, and how could he not help him wholeheartedly?!

"Your Highness!"

Why bother to get up suddenly under the agitation of his heart, but he knelt on one knee on the spot!

"Later, but needed! The last general must go to the soup and fire! No excuses!! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhao Zheng immediately laughed heartily when he heard this, only to feel that the eldest brother had really given himself a big gift!

If there is a general of the expedition to the north, why bother to help, but it really saves himself a lot of trouble!

"Don't hide what the general said, this king really has a thing...... The general needs to help! ”

As soon as these words came out, why bother's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly looked around vigilantly.

After discovering that no one was eavesdropping on the side, he quickly got up, sat down in front of His Highness again, and took the initiative to inquire.

"But I don't know what is going on with Your Highness, and you need the help of the generals......"

……

"Report~~ General Weilong - Ask to see you!"

Just when Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, and the general of Zhengbei had a secret conversation with the palace, they suddenly heard a loud singing from outside the hall, but it was General Weilong who asked to see him.

Zhao Zheng and He Bi looked at each other for a moment, and after Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, signaled his head, why bother to respond.

"Call him in."

At this time, the matter of asking General He has been made clear, and Zhao Zheng allowed General Weilong to enter and ask for a meeting.

And why bother to continue to pour tea for His Royal Highness King Qin with a smile, and he didn't say a word about what Fang just talked about.

"The last general, see His Royal Highness the King of Qin! See the Great General! ”

After entering the hall, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand.

"Huh...... General Lap doesn't have to be polite. ”

Zhao Zheng chuckled lightly and raised his hand slightly to signal his body.

"The last general thanked His Highness!"

He thanked him with a full of anger, and then let out the servants who followed closely behind him, and hurriedly said to His Royal Highness and General He.

"Your Highness, General, this is the spice of the Western Regions specially brought by the last general from the mansion - dry tea!"

"Oh? Then let the king see it. ”

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he waved his hand again and again to quickly present this thing in front of him.

The servant immediately understood, and hurriedly presented the spices of the Western Regions in the pottery bowl to His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

"This ......"

Zhao Zheng was overjoyed when he saw the familiar color and fragrance coming to his nose, and even couldn't help but stretch out a finger to stain it a little, and then put it in his mouth to savor it......

"Hmm...... It's a great thing! It's a great thing! ”

Zhao Zheng nodded happily, sure enough!

Sure enough, this is the indispensable spice for future generations - cumin!!

"Since Your Highness likes it, then the general will send someone to send some more!"

When he saw that His Royal Highness the King of Qin liked it very much, he immediately turned overjoyed, and couldn't help but say in a voice.

"Hahaha! Good! ”

Zhao Zheng immediately nodded, and even claimed to be good!

However, in the midst of this rapid turn of thought, he suddenly thought about it, and couldn't help but turn his head at the moment and said with a smile to the two generals in the hall.

"That's right...... This king got this strange thing, and his heart was very happy, and he wanted to hold a barbecue feast in this general's mansion! ”

Zhao Zheng's tone suddenly paused, and then continued to laugh and say.

"But I don't know the two generals...... Are you interested in participating? ”

Why bother, La Jiao suddenly looked at each other, first stunned, and then came back to his senses, and couldn't help laughing!

"Hahahaha! His Royal Highness personally invited, and the end will be honored! How can there be any excuse! ”

After that, the already extremely delicious Lajiao was even more excited and reddened, and shouted to the outside world on the spot!

"Someone! Hurry up and get out of the plug! Hit some good game and come back!! ”

However, as soon as the words fell, before the guards outside the hall could respond, Zhao Zheng had already stopped him first.

"Huh! It's not right! This game...... You have to hunt it yourself, so it will taste more delicious! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused everyone in the hall to laugh and claim yes!

"Hahahaha! What His Highness said is very true! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng also laughed and stood up, and then waved his hand slightly, but said with a smile towards the door.

"In that case, two generals, please ......"

He Bi and La Jiao were suddenly panicked, hurriedly got up, bowed their hands, and gave way respectfully.

"How dare you! Your Highness, please ...... first"

Zhao Zheng laughed suddenly, and no longer shirked at the moment, he stepped out first, and went hunting with the two generals.

……

In the evening, in the compound of the General's Palace, a unique barbecue dinner is in full swing......

"Brother Huang, didn't you say that you want me to taste what real barbecue is tonight?"

As soon as the dinner party began, Zhao Yun was already impatient to come to the imperial brother, and hurriedly asked while swallowing his saliva.

"What kind of barbecue is it? Brother Huang, don't sell it!! ”

Zhao Yun looked at the imperial brother with a blank eye, and in his heart he was talking about the real barbecue in the imperial brother's mouth, but he was really greedy!

"Haha! Sister Yun, don't worry, you'll know in a while! ”

Zhao Zheng laughed, but refused to reveal the slightest rumor to Yun'er, but waited for her to taste it herself.

He had already explained it to Wan'er in person, but he had just stumbled upon the spices of the Western Regions, pepper and cumin, which were also added to the list of seasonings during the barbecue!

In this way, the flavor is very similar to the spicy barbecue that I am familiar with in later generations!

Compared to the barbecue made with only traditional spices such as fennel and pepper, this is really a heaven and an underground, and it is completely different from cloud and mud!

"What......"

When Zhao Yun heard this, she immediately pursed her mouth dissatisfied, and had to look at the maids in charge of the barbecue, who were now under Zhao Wan's careful guidance and training, teaching them the latest barbecue method that His Royal Highness King Qin said!

At this time, everyone in the palace, like the seventh princess Zhao Yun, was very curious about the 'real barbecue' that His Royal Highness King Qin said!

I don't understand in my heart, if the two Western Regions spices are combined with the traditional barbecue, what different new taste will be collided? !

So everyone looked curiously at the maids who had already begun to roast the meat, and watched them coat the roast meat with lard, and when it was golden brown, they began to sprinkle the powder all over it.

At the beginning, there was no difference, no different from the ordinary barbecue method, but when all the maidservants, under the command of Zhao Wan'er, sprinkled the cumin powder made of dry tea on the barbecue!

In an instant!

I saw the fragrance wafting all over the courtyard, and a completely different aromatic smell rose up, which made people can't help but move their index fingers!

"This ......"

Everyone was amazed, smelling this pungent fragrance, the nose subconsciously twitched a few times, and the throat couldn't help but swallow......

But it's much more than that, when the maidservants are in unison and sprinkle a thin layer of chili powder on the barbecue!

"Wow!"

The audience was in an uproar!

I saw a rich and pungent strange spicy smell, which filled the audience in an instant, and it came to the nose instantly!

This combination of spiciness and aromatic flavor creates a new spicy aroma that will make everyone who hears it hungry and eager to taste it immediately!

The people in the courtyard, especially the seventh princess Zhao Yun, were choking and sneezing, and shouted excitedly!

"Wow! Brother Huang! What kind of magic spice is this?! ”

……

"Audience friends, welcome to the "Hundred Schools", I am your old friend - Yi Shangtian!

Today we are going to talk about two condiments that we modern people have completely inseparable!

They are chili pepper and cumin, respectively!

When it comes to these two condiments, everyone must be familiar with them, right?

For example, the barbecue, hot pot, skewers, etc., which we often eat now, are almost inseparable from these two seasonings for all kinds of food!

But what you may not know is that if there is no our first emperor of the ages, the first emperor of the ages!

Ay! You might not be able to eat these two bites!

Why? Could it be that the First Emperor is also a foodie?

That's not it, but as early as ancient times, there were no two things like chili pepper and cumin in our Central Plains!

So how can there be such a thing, only in the Western Regions at that time, and at that time it was called pepper and dry tea.

Friends who are familiar with history may know that when the First Emperor was crowned king, the fief happened to be in the border counties around the Western Regions!

As for the first emperor of Qian, as soon as he tasted these two spices, he was overjoyed and completely promoted them in Kyushu in the Central Plains, and then derived a lot of Chinese delicacies......

Therefore, when we eat barbecue shabu-shabu, we can't forget our first emperor through the ages, the first emperor of the Qianshihuang! ”
