Chapter Seventy-Two: The Nine Roads of the Heavenly Trench and the Nine Ze Nets, the Vulgar and the Ladylike (II)

King Wei stood on the stage with a wide field of vision.

Monk Yuan was guarding the King of Wei and saw the situation here clearly, so he whispered to the King of Wei,

"Your Majesty, the second brother of the minister is well-informed.

He didn't seem to be flustered at the moment, there should be a way to crack the Flying Immortals. ”

King Wei nodded and commanded,

"Ren Chengwang, summon the dark cymbals to protect the guest seats, and be sure to ensure the safety of the ancestral son.

Let's go over and see what's going on. ”

The dark cymbals are the ghost-faced troops directly under the direct jurisdiction of Wang Shennian, not only the uniform color and mask are completely unified, but the height and fat are almost the same, all of them cross the round shield and carry double knives, and the weapon system is also the same.

As soon as Yuan Hong's order came out, dozens of black-carred ghost-faced people poured out of nowhere in an instant, forming a circle in the guest seat.

Only Yu Zhi, Qingyun, Liu Ying, Cai Ting, Miss Yin and Xiao Yan were protected in the middle, and the others were all on the periphery.

Yang Dayan, Pan Zhuyan, General Pan, Li Chong, Yang Yi, and Bao Chang escorted Yuan Hong and several princes to the battle.

"Ancestor Gongzi, do you have a way to break this demon?"

Yuan Hong inquired in person as a sign of respect.

"Back to the King of Wei, there is a way.

But I need a marksman who can cut through the Yang in a hundred steps. ”

When Yuan Hong heard that it was really breakable, he couldn't help but praise,

"Oh? Zu Gongzi is worthy of being a master disciple of Huayang Zhenren, and he actually knows this immortal method. ”

"This is not some immortal method, it is just some bluffing tricks.

The so-called heavenly thunder γ„£, the word γ„£ is not the "introduction" of the bow that leads the string, but the "γ„£" character used in the seal.

Looking at the shape of the sense, but it is just some false tricks,

Shoot it down, and King Wei will know the clue. ”

"Alright, I'll find you a sharpshooter!"

Yuan Hong turned his gaze around, and Yang Yi had already taken the initiative to ask,

"Your Majesty, Chen Yang Yi is willing to give it a try."

Yuan Hong smiled,

"Yang Qing's archery skills are good, but I have more suitable candidates.

He is the first person in my Baoyi Army to use archery, and he may not lose half a point to Taishi Shuming of Southern Qi. ”

Yuan Hong still has such a trump card in his hand, don't say that Qingyun and his party are guests from afar, I don't know,

Even the King of Ren City and the Little Dragon King heard it in the clouds and didn't know what to mean.

I saw Yuan Hong signaling slightly to the crowd,

"Xinwu, come here, it's time for you to show your face."

Heart Dance, the name chic and graceful, immediately ignited everyone's expectations.

Unbeknownst to him, it was a short, dark-looking bhikshuni who squeezed into the crowd.

"Funanguo Liu Xin Dance, I have seen His Majesty King Wei."

Funanguo, willow heart dance.

This person Qingyun had originally seen when she was in Lanruo Temple, and she was also a guest monk in Siyi Temple.

It's just that her appearance is really unknown to everyone, and she is also very low-key.

So much so that for such a long time, Qingyun has not left any impression on her.

But I didn't expect that she was actually a Baoyi spy who directly obeyed the orders of King Wei!

King Wei's hole cards in his hand, it seems that there are still a lot of them.

Yuan Hong pointed to the way of Liu Xinwu,

"I'll introduce you.

Liu Xinwu, the queen of Funan, is now a senior guerrilla of our Baoyi Army.

Maybe you didn't know her well before,

But her son, the Supreme Monk of Panpan Kingdom, should have had some dealings with you. ”

The Supreme Monk once had a holiday with Liu Ying, Feng Liang once sent someone to investigate, but he did not hold the Supreme Immortal Monk accountable, it turned out that there was such a cause and effect behind it.

At this time, not only Liu Ying, but everyone's eyes were a little unnatural, obviously not believing that this black short was the first shooter of Baoyi comparable to Taishi Shuming.

Liu Xinwu seemed to have seen a lot of this kind of questioning, and she didn't think it was wrong, she just shouted,

"Man, come with a bow!"

I don't know where a dark cloud floated, and a middle-aged man jumped into the battle with a big bow.

The man's face was no different from that of the Central Plains, except that he was darker, and there was a golden flame pattern on his forehead.

The big bow in his hand was almost the same length as his height, more than a head taller than Liu Xinwu.

Is this bow for Liu Xinwu?

Liu Xinwu smiled and took the bow and saluted Zu Xuanzhi,

"Mr. Zu, the concubine has this longbow, and the range is farther away from the Central Plains system.

It's just that the demon is in vain, if you want to shoot him down directly, I'm afraid the concubine can't do it. ”

Zu Yuzhi doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters, but respects strange people and strange people, and he doesn't have some contempt or even suspicion because of Liu Xinwu's appearance.

Because as soon as he saw the longbow, he knew that Liu Xinwu must be good at long-range shooting,

So Zhengrong replied,

"There is no need for senior Liu to shoot people directly.

What is the range of the predecessor's full bow? ”

"One hundred and twenty steps."

Dawn glanced around, suddenly walked out of the circle quickly, picked up a crescent halberd abandoned by the street warriors, and turned back,

"The seniors are ten steps away from me, I will raise this halberd, and ask the seniors to open the bow and lock the center of the window."

Liu Xinwu didn't say much, retreated ten steps, took an arrow from the man's hand, and nodded to Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi was optimistic about Liu Xinwu's position, so he turned around and went to look at the flying immortal,

After a little measurement, he raised the halberd in his hand.

The direction shown by the halberd was not where the flying immortals floated, and there was a big difference in the angle, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Xinwu seems to be unreliable enough, but this scholar of the Southern Dynasty is not very useful.

But just as Dawn didn't question Willow Heart, Willow Dance's instructions didn't have the slightest doubt.

She leaned back, bent backwards into a bow, and condensed her breath, leading the string like a full moon, swishing to the ground, an arrow like a comet, and unmistakably piercing through the locked window of the halberd, shooting straight into the sky.

All eyes followed the arrow, and they saw it thinner and thinner, disappearing into the silvery clouds.

Boom, another thunderclap!

The sword immortal laughed endlessly, and it was still hovering in the air in a good manner.

Except for Qingyun, King Wei and a few others, the faces of the surrounding spectators were covered with black lines.

But Zu Yuzhi continued to concentrate and calculate, and raised his halberd again, as if nothing had happened.

"Come again!"

Liu Xinwu still didn't have any doubts, begging for the arrow to shoot again.

So three times, even King Wei saw a slight sweat on his forehead.

The halberd was raised for the fourth time, and Liu Xinwu's expression was still resolute.

She has practiced archery for many years, and knows how difficult it is to shoot a target from a hundred paces away.

Repeating the same movements without getting the desired results is a normal process for practicing archery.

Don't say just four times, even if it is forty times, four hundred times......

Without thousands of repetitions, it is simply impossible to master the art of archery in a hundred steps.

Since she chooses to believe in it, she believes it to the end!

The goal is illusory, and loss is the norm, and that is the result of the combined effect of human calculations.

Her hands were steady, her eyes were resolute, and with a whoosh, the arrow came out of the window again, angrily towards the sky!

Bang! Another thunderclap!

The whole sky was covered with snow,

People can't see the arrow's light clearly,

But the light of the arrow stubbornly reflected the majesty of the heavens,

A silver-white arc of light shot into the depths of the cloud mountain.

》》》》》 time to knock on the blackboardγ€Šγ€Šγ€Šγ€Šγ€Š

We haven't finished talking about the food basket of the ancients. On that day, we listed the works of Miss Mochou in the article, including: beef wrapped in soy balls, jujube stuffed with meat, basil mixed with cabbage, braised eggplant, shallot and white steamed potatoes, honey ginger, raw lotus root, stewed chicken with flat tips, and dried shrimp soup with seaweed and egg flowers. There are many dishes in it, all of which challenge the perception of some "experts" about the food basket of the ancients. We once again hold up the treasure book, the agricultural work of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "Qi Min's Technique", to take a look at the true qualities of those "experts" who only believe in the "Columbian exchange" and "fake" theory of Western historiography, but have no understanding of their own classic books.

First of all, let's talk about soy balls, why did you choose this dish? Because "Qi Min Yaoshu" indicates the source of this dish - "Shijing Soy Pills": ten catties of mutton, ten catties of pork, cut into wisps, three liters of ginger, five leaves of orange peel, two liters of Tibetan melon, five liters of green onions, pounded together, like a projectile. Don't use five catties of mutton as a slicing, but boil it in a pill and make a ball.

"Qi Min Yaoshu" has a high status in modern times, but it is not the earliest culinary monograph, at least "The Book of Food" is in front. What is the origin of this food sutra? It was written by Cui Hao, a famous minister in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, based on the oral record of his mother Lu. Qinghe Cui and Fan Yanglu were both leaders of Chinese families at that time, and they intermarried for generations. The practice of this soy sauce pill is a standard Han family dish, and we can see that the elasticity factor has been taken into account when making the pills at that time. Pork and mutton crumbs, green onion and ginger spices, it looks delicious.

Jujube, eggplant, basil, shallot, honey ginger, lotus root, bamboo shoot tips, these are all ingredients recorded in the "Essentials", we will skip it first, and focus on some species that are more controversial in the world.

Kale, which seems to be very popular lately, is "legendary" and native to the Mediterranean region. In ancient China, it was called "turnip", "fencai". There is a special entry for turnip in "Essentials", and the cabbage has entered the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period: "Poetry, Shaofeng, Gufeng", "Picking Leaves and Picking Fei, without the following body". Shao, in what is now Henan. Therefore, the history of cabbage cultivation in the Central Plains was long before the Spring and Autumn Period. Because it belongs to the bulbous plant, during the Han Dynasty, people planted it in the year of the locust plague in order to survive. "Later Han Shu Huan Emperor Ji" Yongxing in June of the second year of the locust plague, the edict ordered the injured county to plant turnips to help people eat. It can be seen that the turnips at that time had been freed from the wild and entered the state of artificial cultivation. This is earlier than the history of artificial cultivation in France, the main production area of turnips in Europe.

Next we talk about potatoes. As soon as potatoes are mentioned, experts from all walks of life can jump out immediately, even if you don't mention the "Columbus Great Exchange", the yield per mu of potatoes can be measured in tons, if there is such a crop in the Central Plains, where is it so easy to starve to death? Therefore, in the online literature world, especially in the historical online literature world, most of the potato stalks are used when it comes to crossing. Potatoes are born, and the world is full of food and clothing. At this time, Jia Siqian was not convinced.

First of all, we have to explain that potatoes belong to the taro family. "Saying", the big leaf is really rooted, terrifying, and it is called taro. Taro refers to underground tuber crops. Even now, potatoes are called potato, potato, and potato. There are some well-known native taro, such as yams, etc., which have nothing to do with potatoes and are botanically distantly related. The close cousin of the potato is actually the eggplant...... Why do you say this? Because we first dissociate ourselves from the relationship, it is easier for us to distinguish the true from the false. There is a huge difference between a potato and a foreign potato, mainly as follows?

First, the yam herb has no above-ground stems; Potatoes have above-ground stems.

Second, the potato tubers are uneven, some are large and some are small, and they are called many seeds in ancient times. The tuber size of the potato tuber is relatively uniform.

Third, the yield of potatoes per mu is high.

With this understanding, let's look for the agricultural book record,

"The Sixteenth of Qi Min's Art to Plant Taro" quotes the Western Jin Dynasty's "Guangzhi": Shu Han is both rich and prosperous, and the people think it is capital. Where the fourteenth class: there is a gentleman taro, as big as a bucket, and as big as a pestle. There are hub taro, there are saw taro, there are side giant taro, there are green-edged taro: these four taro have many seeds. There is talk about good taro, burly as a bottle, and a small child; Leaves as scattered, cyan; Purple stem, long and long; Easy to ripen, long in taste, the best taro also; The stem can be used as a soup, fat and astringent, and it can be drunk. There are mandarin taro, the edge branches are born, and the big ones are two or three liters. There is chicken taro, yellow in color. There are 100 fruit taro, Kui is big, the seeds are numerous, and the mu is harvested 100 Hu.

Talk about good taro, a big one, few children, leaves such as scattered covers, purple stems! It tastes the best, and it's the best among root plants. How much is the yield per mu? This species is not written, but there is a kind of chicken taro, which produces 100 dendrobium per mu. One Hu ten buckets, which is a volume unit, is converted into more than two tons of rice! Combined with the three points we summarized above, this is more similar to potatoes, at least delicious! High yield! It is fully meaningful to the value of potatoes in agriculture. There was a famine in the Central Plains, and potatoes were not needed to save it.

The record of high-yield taro in Guangzhi is not the earliest, and the "Book of Fansheng" in the Han Dynasty is the ancestor of agricultural books: planting taro, the area is three feet deep. …… One district collects three stones.

In fact, there was a high yield of taro per mu in the Han Dynasty, and there are not many details, we don't guess, but the yield per mu can be calculated. Here it is said that the taro is planted in a district and three feet square. Collect three stones. The yield per mu is also recorded in tons.

There is a lot to say about potatoes, and it doesn't leave too much space for the most exciting laver, so let's quote the original text directly and say it thoroughly: "To Technique Volume 10", laver, the mountains by the sea in Wudu, and the seaweed. and "Wu Dufu" cloud, "Lun group laver" also. "Erya" notes the clouds, "Lun, now there is a young man with a correction of green silk." group, ribbon also. The grass in the sea, the one who gives birth to the color and the image, because of the name. That is to say, the ancient Shanghainese people had already fished seaweed from the sea and eaten it, and it had it before the Han Dynasty.

We can see that the growth signs of the dishes listed in this article can basically be traced back to before the Han Dynasty, and they all have real hammers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This is mainly because of the induction of the "Essentials" into a book. There are many varieties of vegetables and fruits recorded in the "Essentials", and many of them do not know how to correspond to modern names. But it is conceivable that the choice of kitchen cuisine of the ancients was not much less scarce than it is now.
