"This is a newly picked up child from the pavilion chief?"

Mrs. Liu looked at the half-sized doll in front of her.

Cao Xiu's adoption of orphans is not a secret, and for this reason, he also built a wooden house in the back mountain, called: Starting Point Orphanage. According to Cao Xiu's explanation, these orphans belong to the initial stage, so they are named the starting point.

Well...... Worthy of being a learned person!

Take a look at this name, what a meaning!

"Well, I'll ask you." Qin Shi Huang stepped forward, don't look at his low words, but his posture is full, "The wine money he gave is only 3,500 yuan, what do you mean by giving 4,000 yuan?" ”

"Ahem, the old man means it."

"What do you mean?"

"The old man is not interesting."

"Look, you're interesting!"

Looking at the childish child who couldn't stop sneering, Mrs. Liu suddenly realized. Turning to look at Cao Xiu, "Come to think of it, this is all what the pavilion chief meant?" The old man understands, Ji'er! ”

"Understood."

Liu Ji also understood, and took out two strings of copper coins.

“……”

“……”

Cao Xiu choked on the side and couldn't stop coughing. Obviously, Mrs. Liu thought he was not satisfied. So I asked Ah Zheng to run out to make a show, deliberately asking for more money. In fact, he really didn't mean it, even if he really acted, he wouldn't look for Ah Zheng.

"Alright, let's go."

Cao Xiu waved his hand and asked Cao'er to send off the guests.

For no reason, if you have an extra 200 dollars, you can count it as earned.

Qin Shi Huang was petrified in place, crying and laughing. He originally wanted to rush out and teach Fan Cao Xiu a good lesson, but he didn't expect to help this guy instead, which made him quite uncomfortable.

"Xiu'er, do you know that you have made a big mistake!"

"Yes." Cao Xiu calmly handed over the copper coin to the servant, "Qin Law has a cloud: those who pass one penny will be a city dan." ”

"You know how dare you?!"

Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait to jump up and beat Cao Xiudun.

Qin's law was strict, and it was even worse for Qin officials. It doesn't matter how much money you are greedy, even if you are just greedy for money, you have to first make noodles and then work as a coolie for Chengdan!

"You do know Qin Law very well, but you are still young and naïve after all." Cao Xiu's expression was indifferent, and he slowly spoke: "If you are in Shi Xianyang, you must not be so presumptuous. But this is Pei County, 108,000 miles away from Xianyang. The Qin State now implements the county system, and the county orders are all from the Qin people, but the officials in the township pavilion are mainly locals, which means that the imperial power does not go to the countryside. ”

This is the reality, and it is also the drawback of the Qin system.

Like county magistrates, the Qin State can choose Qin people to be the officials. But it is impossible to completely eradicate local officials. One is the shortage of manpower, and the other is the language barrier. The local dialects are extremely complex, how can the local people be governed without the help of the locals?

"So what?"

"So it's okay to go over the beaten track a little." Cao Xiu patted Ah Zheng's head and said indifferently: "Mrs. Liu gave more money, but it was actually a disguised flattery." After all, I'm going to target them later, and they don't feel good. There are not many people in the Xiangting neighborhood, but there are many doorways inside. ”

"Fallacy!"

In Qin Shi Huang's view, this was just an excuse.

Can he not know these things?

It's just that someone like Cao Xiu is so sincere, and he still suffers from it.

What a treacherous Qin official!

"Go, call Xiao Wang to dinner." Cao Xiu said unhappily: "You might as well be as down-to-earth as Xiao Wang, and you will be lazy after two days of doing it." How should a wife like you marry in the future? ”

“……”

Qin Shi Huang stumbled and almost fell.

His eldest son Fusu is older than Cao Xiu, and he is still worried that he will marry a wife and have children?

……

……

Spit and spit and spit out, and the rice still has to be eaten.

"Xiu'er, why isn't there bean rice today?"

Qin Shi Huang looked at the ordinary corn and knocked on the bamboo chopsticks with a little displeasure. He just needs this mouthful of mutton fat and bean rice, and he can eat a big bowl without vegetable soup and meat sauce.

"How can you eat it every day?"

"I ate three meals ......"

"What's so delicious about bean rice, try these potato chips."

Cao Xiu picked up a large potato slice and chewed it carefully. Because it is stewed with pork, it is quite soft and smooth. He still doesn't like this kind of cooking, but he still prefers sour and hot shredded potatoes.

After all, it's a hometown dish from more than 2,000 years later!

"Didn't you say that this potato is more important than your life, so why do you eat it?"

"Do you want to eat?"

"Eat!"

"Lean ......"

There are two ways to grow potatoes, most of which are cut directly along the sprouts and coated with plant ash. In fact, potatoes also flower and bear fruit and have seeds, but this method has drawbacks. The first is that it grows more slowly, which affects the yield in the later stage. Moreover, the use of seeds will be very unstable, which will eventually lead to unstable shape and quality of potato tubers.

The potatoes eaten today are all defective products with poor quality and not suitable for seed potatoes. It's a waste to put it away and not eat it, so it's better to satisfy your appetite first.

"Hey, it's a bit like a stump."

"What's that?"

"You haven't even eaten a scorpion?"

Wang Jian looked at Cao Xiu incredulously.

"Have you ever eaten chili?"

"Chili?"

"Have you ever eaten a tomato?"

"No ......"

"Have you ever been slapped?"

"Shaft dare?"

The angry Wang Jian stood directly on the chair, as if he wanted to overpower Cao Xiu in this way.

"There are clouds in the north mountain: three hundred miles to the south, called Jingshan, looking at the salt sellers in the south, and Shaoze in the north. There are many grasses and stalks, and there are many Qin peppers on its grass, and there are many ochres in its yin, and there are many jade in its yang. ”

Qin Shi Huang touched his chin and spoke.

The beard is gone, and I can only touch my chin to enjoy it.

"Damn, you're talking about yams."

Cao Xiu thought it was something new, but it turned out to be a yam. The tarsus in their mouths is actually the yam that people often eat in later generations.

"Yam?"

"Heh, I think it's the name of this Pei County."

"No, that's what my hometown is called."

"Dangjun single father county?"

"Go, go, play."

Cao Xiu waved his hand angrily, it was like playing the piano to the cow.

"Speaking of which, why don't you see your house sauce?"

"What's ...... delicious?"

At the mention of Qin State's sauce, Cao Xiu felt a chill. Nowadays, because there is no stir-frying, many people cook their dishes with water. This method definitely doesn't taste good, so it's often served with sauce. Confucius once said: If you don't have sauce, you can't eat it!

It's just that there are a lot of sauces that are simply dark dishes. Bolognese bean sauce or something, Cao Xiu is definitely acceptable. But there is also ant sauce, frog sauce, crow sauce, everything can be sauced. For example, this ant sauce is now called oysters, and it was fed by the Son of Heaven the week before!

"You don't have sauce, do you?"

"There are cute white, birds, toys and ...... in my house"

Wang Jian listened for a long time, his face full of curiosity.

"Good...... Is it tasty? ”

"It's pretty good."

"Something is wrong with you!!"
