The next day, Zhao Zihu originally planned to sleep until three poles in the morning before getting up, but unexpectedly, it was only about the hour, and Diao Chan had a good dream.

Perhaps because he was so tired from being dragged by Emperor Lao Tzu last night, he slept soundly, and at first he didn't notice that anyone had entered the tent.

But soon, he felt that there were feathers scratching the soles of his feet, and Zhao Zihu was not a person who was afraid of itching, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to sleep.

But how could Diao Chan let go of Zhao Zihu easily, scratching the soles of the two feet and seeing no response, she actually uncovered his clothes and scratched the navel.

Such an act is really a bit shameless for an ancient woman, if her father Zhao Gao learns about it, I am afraid that she will be scolded for being a bloody dog.

However, Diao Chan didn't care, seeing that Brother Zihu was scratched his navel, but he just turned over and went back to sleep, she leaned on his face angrily, and the feathers rushed down to the nostrils.

"Ahh......h

After several times, Zhao Zihu finally couldn't hold back, sneezed fiercely, and sat up: "Who, who?" Such nonsense! ”

When I opened my eyes, Diao Chan was hiding behind him with both hands, blinking a pair of big eyes at him, and there was obviously a hint of resentment in the expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"What's wrong? Who provoked our Diao Chan sister? Sleeping a little dazed, Zhao Zihu asked subconsciously, but saw this girl humming and raising her chin at a forty-five degree angle.

Zhao Zihu saw the situation, reacted, and didn't deliberately joke with Diao Chan anymore, he smiled and said, "Yo! Blame me, blame me. I blame my brother for not calling my Diao Chan sister when he went to sea......"

"Humph! Who's going to go to sea with you? There's the old woman with you. I'm still going? Isn't it in vain! Diao Chan still wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose, blaming Zhao Zihu for not understanding his own thoughts.

At the moment, his eyes were rolling, and Zhao Zihu guessed: "Isn't this the case?" Is that complaining that my brother came back yesterday and didn't look for you for the first time? Ah! Younger sister. Brother, this is really wronged! ”

When he said that, the bitter gourd had a face, and he wanted to explain it even more, Diao Chan immediately raised his palms and hurriedly stopped him, and the gloom on his face dissipated a little, and she said in understanding.

"I knew that my brother had done a great deed, and he only got off the ship last night, so I asked His Majesty to summon him urgently, and I did not return until the end of the fourth watch. I don't complain about this! But, there must be something else, right? ”

After speaking, Diao Chan's little hand was about to turn into a begging trend, but he didn't think about it, but he asked Zhao Zihu to grab it, and pressed it down gently, and the person smiled and said continuously: "Yes, there is ......."

"I forgot everything, and I can't forget to please Sister Diao! My brother had already prepared a beautiful little gift. Zhao Zihu got up from the couch, lifted the mattress again, and squatted down.

Under Diao Chan's curious gaze, he quickly took out a quaint wooden box the size of three adult palms from the low space under the bed, and turned around and handed it to the girl.

Diao Chan unexpectedly shook his hand: "What is this?" ”

"Open it and take a look. I'm sure you'll love it! ”

"As long as it's sent by Brother Zihu, Diao Chan likes it......"

With a sweet smile, Diao Chan carefully opened the wooden box, and a pair of bamboo ducks appeared in front of him.

This is not the kind of bamboo duck of a living creature, but a bamboo duck, but the brown beak, blue and black head and neck, and the posture of fake sleep are vivid, not inferior to the real duck at all.

What surprised Diao Chan even more was that each pair of ducks had a pair of carmine painted wings at the end, and formed an arched bridge, and under the bridge was actually a small bamboo drawer, which looked like it was used to hold gold and silver jewelry.

She held it in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "This pair of ducks is really proud!" ”

"What? This is a mandarin duck, you are a duck? Zhao Zihu couldn't help but be happy.

"Mandarin duck!!"

Diao Chan's cheeks turned red in an instant, and there were beautiful sentences about mandarin ducks in the "Book of Songs", no matter how stupid she was, she knew what they represented.

"Why, how can there be this ready-made mandarin duck bamboo weaving?"

Seeing that this girl was a little resistant, Zhao Zihu smiled and said: "This is a specialty of Dongou over there, Dongyang bamboo weaving!" It has the reputation of 'the wind shakes the green jade branches, so as to make them like wings'......"

"They have existed since the Yin Shang era, mainly using local water bamboo, golden bamboo, moso bamboo and other raw materials, from exquisite decorations to daily necessities can be woven at will!"

This pair of mandarin ducks is just a mascot for the locals to get married. I thought that Sister Diao Chan would like it, so I asked for it! But now it seems that you are a little disgusted, right? ”

Sensing that Zhao Zihu was looking at himself more and more playfully, Diao Chan hurriedly hid the box behind him, and quibbled: "Who said I dislike them?" I—I just think...... This, this gift is not enough! ”

"Is that too little? Ay. Sister Diao! You can't do that. The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant! Can't you understand, brother, this is called courtesy and affection? ”

As soon as he heard him say the word "affection", Diao Chan was even more ashamed, so he could only cover it up by stomping his feet: "Anyway, I don't care!" You'll have to give me at least one or two more ......."

She was thinking in her heart, who called Brother Zihu, you are about to get married?

Don't let you compensate me a little, I feel uncomfortable!

"Okay, okay! It just so happens that I'm going to go to Ganluo to sort out the things for the wedding, and I'll take you to see if you like anything. Zhao Zihu felt quite helpless.

He could see that this girl was mainly complaining about what she had now, and she didn't often take her.

"It's just that my brother hasn't eaten breakfast yet?"

As soon as Zhao Zihu said this, he saw Diao Chan jumping and running out, and in a blink of an eye, a small head appeared from the side of the tent, and he lifted his hand and shook the stack of food boxes in his hand.

"I'm not like someone who forgets about others easily!"

As soon as he slapped his head, Zhao Zihu immediately pretended to be overjoyed: "Oops! I knew that Sister Diao Chan was the best for me. Yeah! It's all my fault, my brother's fault. ”

After the two finished breakfast, they rushed to the Shaofu Ling camp where Gan Luo was.

After seeing each other, Gan Luo took them to the warehouse where Zhao Zihu and Xiang Liyue's wedding items were stored.

Before he arrived at the place, Zhao Zihu saw that Xiang Liyue was already wandering in front of the door, obviously watching something.

Seeing her, Diao Chan pouted a little uncomfortably, but she didn't immediately turn around and leave, and she didn't want to wrap around Zihu's brother's arm to demonstrate or something.

She just got closer, and said sourly, "Let's go." Your daughter-in-law is waiting there! ”

By the door of the tent of the warehouse, several stone piles were laid, and not only six sheep were tied, but also two wooden cages were held near the door.

There is a brilliantly colored wild goose in each cage, a male and a female, and they are the ones that Xiang Liyue is watching, and he is also feeding some grain.

These two geese and the six sheep are also the dowry gifts given by the Great Qin royal family to the Xiangli family......

In addition, as far as Zhao Zihu knows, there are 10,000 horses and so on, a total of 30 kinds......

Each of them should be accompanied by the "Six Rites", that is, there are proverbs inside, and praise texts outside, mostly auspicious words.

…… For example, "geese wait for yin and yang, wait for the time to move, winter south and summer north, you have a place".

Everyone met at the door, and Xiang Liyue just nodded to Zhao Zihu and Diao Chan, and smiled. For the posture of the two side by side, she did not show the slightest displeasure.

Everyone entered the warehouse together, and saw gold and jade, strange plants, orderly displayed from left and right, and the most eye-catching thing was a pair of candlesticks facing the door and a painting hanging in between.

The candlestick is a poured bronze vessel, decorated with auspicious clouds, mandarin ducks, rivers and entwined lotus patterns.

In Zhao Zihu's view, the painting is a two-meter-long picture of King Wen's hundred sons, and he can tell whose handwriting it is from at a glance.

The painting style is light and noble, but the aura is insufficient, except for his good brother Fusu, there will be no second person.

Zhao Zihu shook his head and asked Gan Luo: "When did the eldest son's hundred son pictures be sent?" ”

"Go back to Childe! The second day of your voyage has arrived, and with the picture of the hundred sons, there is also a congratulatory text and two pots of large camellias. ”

Gan Luo replied with 1510, and pointed his hand to the tent behind the candlestick.

Zhao Zihu knew what Ganluo meant that the two pots of large camellia were absorbing the sunlight in a relatively shady place outside the warehouse.

He didn't understand camellias, so naturally he didn't have the interest to see how good they were, and at the same time, he also knew that the congratulatory messages everywhere should have been placed on the desk of Emperor Laozi.

He, the prince of the royal family, is about to hold a big wedding, which is a big event, not only the princes and princes of Xianyang, but also the magistrates of various counties.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zihu saw Gan Luo submit several rosters and asked him to take a look. He took a cursory look and knew that it was nothing more than the rules and the list of participants for the wedding day, as well as the items for the meals.

When Zhao Zihu saw that the first two items of the meal were roasted whole sheep and all kinds of fruit wine, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Hey, hey, hey!" Prime Minister Gan. Who ordered this meal entry......"

"Roast whole lamb! It's meant to save a lot of money without the guests having to eat at the back of the meal, right? Just this one, I was full and tired of panicking. ”

Gan Luo was also very embarrassed, and waved his hand and said: "This, Your Majesty sent someone to ask in the morning, and found that the prince had not come over, and called the minister to change it temporarily!" ”

"Forehead! How much does His Majesty the Emperor have a grudge against roasting whole sheep? Didn't eat enough last night? He was going to let his son and me, wear a wedding dress, bake a full of hand oil first, and then finish the ceremony with Yue'er. ”

Hearing Xiaofujun's repeated screams, Xiang Liyue smiled "poof" and said, "In my opinion! Your Majesty should be afraid that you will suddenly run away again, and it will be difficult to find people. I hope you will take this opportunity to teach some special foods to the Imperial Diet! ”

"Hmm. I agree with Sister Yue! Brother Zihu. You don't know! In the past few days of your absence, our cold-blooded thirteen eagle beaks are about to fade out. "Diao Chan this time, surprisingly on the same front as Xiang Liyue.

It's not that you don't want to make delicious food......

Even if you use those spices made by Brother Zihu, the taste is unsatisfactory!

"Brother, I don't know anything!" Zhao Zihu snorted and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Only then did he realize that in the past, whether in Xianyang or on the way out on the road, things such as frying, frying, cooking and frying were all done by himself.

I didn't even think about teaching the stir-fry method and the eight major cuisines, so that I could simply be a shopkeeper?

No wonder, I said that I was in my father's tent last night, why was I so tired......

Zhao Zihu immediately made arrangements for Gan Luo: "That's it! I'll draw a picture here, and you ask the craftsman to hurry up and make thirty pots with a sharp bottom. Two days later, I'll come back to teach the people of the Imperial Diet how to stir-fry......"

"At the same time, you should have a hundred bamboos cut down with your thumb so thick. Sister, on your side, go find Brother You'er, and then ask Xu Fu and those Fangshi for fifty catties of refined nitrate! Yue'er, I still have ten rolls of hemp paper! ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zihu looked at Diao Chan and Xiang Liyue seriously. After reading the wedding charter, he always felt as if something was missing, and he realized that he wanted to teach stir-frying......

The whole wedding process looks very lively, with the shouts and cheers of the warriors, as well as the sword dance performance, etc., from beginning to end, but there are no firecrackers and fireworks.

As a Chinese child, how can the most festive and important day in life not have these two kinds of fun?

These two things only appeared in the early Tang Dynasty, but as an engineering dog, it was not difficult to get them out in advance in the Qin Dynasty.

Much easier than making paper and refined salt!

But the premise is that there must be coarse paper and fine nitrate powder......

Soon, Zhao Zihu drew the style of the big iron pot in the Song Dynasty in front of everyone: "This is a 'pot', the bottom is relatively sharp, and the heat on the stove only exists at the bottom of the pot, which is very suitable for stir-frying all kinds of meat dishes!" ”

Diao Chan, Xiang Liyue, and Gan Luo read it, although they were puzzled by the statements of "pot" and "stir-fry", and they didn't ask much, they all understood that what Zhao Zihu made out could always be answered well afterwards.

The three of them just had to do as they were told.

And Zhao Tuo, who followed closely behind several people, also reported Gongzi Zihu's new idea to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible.

"Stir-fry? New Daqin Chef Cooking Class. Firecrackers, fireworks? What else is there to make up for the Buddha jumping over the wall......"

After reading what Yi Yishu wrote, Ying Zheng rolled up the brocade silk and shook it, and handed it to Meng Yi to read.

"In order to be idle for herself, she really does everything! Meng Yi. What do you think? ”

After taking the brocade silk and reading it, Meng Yi smiled bitterly and said: "The minister thinks that it is a good thing for Gongzi to teach stir-frying!" People take food as their heaven......"

"When those people learn the imperial diet, if it is really a convenience, Your Majesty will promote it to all parts of Great Qin. Nature is another good thing for the benefit of the people! ”

Ying Zheng's head of approval stood up from behind the imperial case and paced: "Indeed! Even if the method of stir-frying is not convenient, the newly made wok is very useful......"

"It's just that they misunderstand what I mean. The 'roasted whole sheep' dish of my addition is not greedy for a while, but has the meaning of "Yi"! ”

When Meng Yi heard this, his heart moved, and he understood it in an instant.

Your Majesty is going to hold a big wedding for Gongzi Zihu on the coast of the East China Sea, and he will not hesitate to give additional meals and enjoy with the people......

It seems that there is an intention to show off to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who are peeping in secret!

After all, when they met the two Baiyue leaders in the early morning, they knocked out from the side, and the entire Baiyue and even the nobles of the six countries hidden in it were all looking forward to the collapse of Great Qin.
