Chapter 95: Brother and Sister Fight Each Other
While waiting for the beasts to pass, Yu Zuo had already ordered the soldiers who followed and protected them to assist in handling the internal organs and flesh of the prey, lighting a bonfire, and setting up a stove.
These soldiers have been stationed in Nanhaizi for a long time, and they have long been familiar with how to survive in the wild, there are forests nearby to collect firewood, there are lakes to wash and handle prey, and even seasonings they have to carry, everything is ready.
So when Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen sisters came over, the bonfire had already been burned, and Yu Zuo even took a sharp dagger to cut the animal meat there himself, and Fu Yuchen next to him was helping to skewer the animal meat with a bamboo stick, put it in a wooden barrel, and hand it to Guan Enming to barbecue by the fire.
Zhang Chuyang was carrying a deer that had just been handled by the soldiers, and when he saw the brocade pheasant hanging on Fu Rushuang's horse, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he actually greeted him: "Sister Fu, I will make a flower chicken, or you will hand it over to me, and I will deal with it together, and you will taste my craftsmanship later?"
Fu Rushuang recognized him, so she smiled and took off the brocade pheasant and handed it over: "Then please Zhang Gongzi!"
"I'm sure I won't let my eldest sister down!" Zhang Chuyang smiled and happily took the pheasant.
The two sisters dismounted and came over, and they first greeted the six princes: "I have seen the sixth highness!"
Yu Zuo waved his hand at the two of them and smiled, "Don't be polite! This is the wild, not in the palace, everyone can be unrestrained and find a place to sit by themselves! After a while, the meat will be roasted."
Fu Rushuang agreed, used the horse felt as a cushion, laid it behind Fu Yuchen, and sat down.
Fu Xuechen didn't want to sit next to Fu Yuchen to attract the attention of others to the pair of dragon and phoenix twins of the two brothers and sisters, so he squatted behind Guan Enming's side and posed curiously to watch Guan Enming's barbecue.
Guan Enming's movements look quite orderly, brushing sauce, turning meat skewers, sprinkling cumin powder, and chili powder, it is really unthinkable that he is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Fu Xuechen was surprised, as for cumin powder, this thing was available in the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, but it was popular in the northwest, and relatively few of them flowed into the Central Plains.
Perhaps this is because although the former regime of the current time and space was also controlled by the northern nomads, for the Central Plains farming peoples, the destruction was not as heavy as that of the Yuan Dynasty in the previous time and space.
The difference is that even the Southern Song Dynasty perished in the former time and space, causing a fault line in various Chinese scientific and technological civilizations.
However, the Central Plains ethnic groups in this time and space took advantage of the internal division and external uncertainty of the nomadic people, and even encountered natural disasters, and the rebel armies from all over the country rose up one after another, and finally the rebel army led by Emperor Yuan An grew rapidly in the conquest, and the power swept the world, and finally expelled the Tartars and established Darong.
The Chinese technology and civilization that had been inherited and preserved by the nomads who had been forced to retreat south of the Great River gradually returned to the north with the process of the rebels gradually moving north to regain the lost territory, and there was no fault.
In addition, Emperor Yuan An was born in a gentry family, which is very different from the grassroots like Zhu Yuanzhang, he understands history, culture, knows how to buy and use the wealthy gentry family, and has enough skills to control the Central Plains regime.
….
As a result, Darong's regime successfully succeeded the previous dynasty, and while restoring the original political ecology of the Central Plains, it also revised and reformed, becoming a vigorous new regime.
It has both the advantages of the prosperity of commerce and maritime trade in the Song Dynasty in the previous time and space, and the advantages of attaching importance to the development of military force in the early Ming Dynasty, but at the same time, it has eliminated the maladministration of dividing people into several levels like the Mengyuan Empire and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has eliminated the rough tax package system of the Mengyuan Empire and the chaotic government of the Ming Dynasty that was extremely heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce.
Because it created the cabinet system, abolished redundant personnel, streamlined the organization, and skillfully possessed a more effective centralized system in the Ming and Qing dynasties before the past......
In short, at present, except for the early Ming Dynasty, when the military value of the new Darong Empire was not as good as that of the previous time and space, it was much more martial than the Song Dynasty, and it was more advanced than the regime of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and it was richer than the Ming Dynasty's treasury, and it did not engage in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty
It welcomes maritime trade and welcomes the exchange of foreign culture and technology.
It is precisely this inclusive foreign policy that has enabled people to continuously bring a variety of rich materials from abroad, so that the people popularized the use of spices such as chili powder and cumin powder earlier than the Ming Dynasty before the previous time, space, and Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the familiar cumin powder and chili powder, Fu Xuechen unconsciously came up with a god, if only the Southern Song Dynasty in the previous time and space did not die in Mengyuan, or Zhu Yuanzhang was not so grassroots and uneducated, and even inherited and carried forward the inhumane hierarchy of Mengyuan, completely ignoring the important role of commerce in economic development, then the civilization ecology of the Ming Dynasty in the former time and space may have been like the Darong Empire.
As the aroma of the meat grows, the first batch of skewers is ready!
Guan Enming presented the finished product to the six princes first, waited for him to take two strings first, and then sent it to Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen, two girls, for them to take first.
This is not a Western gentlemanly culture, this is the etiquette of giving priority to humility and protecting women and children in the East, Fu Rushuang thanked and took a string, Fu Xuechen also took a string, and then Fu Yuchen and Zhang Chuyang.
Except for the chefs with exceptionally superb skills, the level of ordinary people's barbecue meat skewers seems to be about the same, Fu Xuechen tasted it, and said with some surprise: "Guan Gongzi's barbecued meat skewers taste very good!"
Guan Enming smiled shyly, and before he could thank him, Fu Yuchen said casually: "Indeed, he has a good set of baking things, in the past, when we went to the river to fish and catch shrimp or something after school, he was responsible for the barbecue, especially the frogs, earthworms, locusts and centipedes he roasted, which were very fragrant!"
Fu Xuechen didn't know what was going on with others, when she heard the words frog, earthworm, locust, and centipede, she only felt that the meat skewers in her mouth seemed to have changed!
Damn it! Fu Xuechen turned his head and glared at Fu Yuchen hatefully, but the other party smiled and showed eight teeth to her.
Fu Rushuang suddenly stood up at this time: "Guan Gongzi, take a break!" I'll bake the skewers in the back, and you're all competing against others! It's better to eat early and keep hunting."
When Fu Xuechen heard this, he hurriedly followed Fu Rushuang to the edge of the bonfire: "Sister, I'm with you!"
"You can bake? I've never seen you go down to the kitchen!" Fu Yuchen didn't believe it.
"You don't see people in the cracks!"
Fu Xuechen scolded Fu Yuchen, took out the raw meat skewers prepared by Yu Zuo from the wooden barrel next to him, and began to barbecue, not to mention, she really knows how to grill skewers, and she asked herself that her skills are quite good, not worse than Guan Enming!
The interesting interaction between the brothers and sisters of the dragon and phoenix fetuses amused Yu Zuo on the side again, I don't know if it is an illusion, he actually gave birth to a little familiar feeling with Fu Yuchen's sister, is it because the twins are often very similar to each other?
Ask for a wave of first orders!
