Zhu Xiang was not only beaten with a cane by Lian Po, but also his wheelchair was detained. Lian Po shows off his wheelchair whenever he meets people, and the wheelchair has become a must-have seat for the elderly in Handan City.

When Lin Xiangru left Handan, his health was already not good. Lin Zhen prepared a wheelchair in advance in case of emergency.

After returning to his hometown, Lin Xiangru's body deteriorated rapidly and he could only travel in a wheelchair. A dozen days later, the wheelchair was also vacant.

Now, I can use a wheelchair again.

Lin Zhen carried Lin Xiangru to the wheelchair, folded the quilt and covered Lin Xiangru's body, and pushed his father out of the door.

The warm wind came from the surface, and Lin Xiangru smiled again.

He watched the big trees in the courtyard sprout new shoots, saw new green emerge from the gray ground, and saw birds chirping on the branches to build new nests...... The sun was warm, and sure enough, spring had arrived.

Zhu Xiang once said that winter is the most dangerous for the elderly, and as long as they survive the winter, most of them can live for another year.

Lin Xiangru squinted at the sky, as if enjoying the warm spring sunshine.

……

In the city of Handan, scholars are competing to copy Xunzi's "Sacrifice Text" with wooden tablets.

They sang, "The Book of Rites says, "The people mourn without mourning for the people, and the people respect for the people without respecting."

No one taught the people to mourn for the righteous, but the people themselves mourned for the righteous; No one taught the people to respect these righteous men, and the people themselves respected them. It's all because the righteous man died to protect Zhu Xianggong......"

They groaned, "The people pointed to the place where Zhu Xianggong lived and lamented, the people pointed to the ridge where Zhu Xianggong walked, and the people pointed to the place where Zhu Xianggong was assassinated and the righteous men went to die.

The snow washed away the blood of the righteous man, and the earth covered the body of the righteous man. The grief of the people is like a frozen lake that cannot be vented, and the anger of the people burns like a flame......"

They were furious, "Mountains of thousands of feet collapsed into rotten soil, and thousands of miles of embankments collapsed in anthills." The frozen lake is piling up, and when the angry flames melt the frozen sorrow, the pouring lake will flood nowhere else?! ”

Before the "Sacrificial Text" was copied, the soldiers of Zhao State had already rushed into the place of the assembly.

The scholars fled with wooden tablets in their arms, and their bodies were like cunning rabbits; The soldiers chased with weapons in hand, their steps heavy and slow. Soon the party dispersed, the scattered wooden and bamboo slips were burned, the smoke rose, and Handan City was quiet again.

Lian Po sat on the pavilion, holding the wine jar and chuckling.

He looked up at the smoke in the sky and took a sip of wine, choking on tears.

Jia Ding came to report: "Master father, King Zhao is in a hurry, and Yan Guo took advantage of the failure of my country's fields to send troops to attack Zhao." ”

"No matter how weak Zhao Guo is, it's not something that the waste of Yan State can watch." Lian Po drunkenly put down the wine jar, "Wear armor for me." ”

"Yui!"

"You don't have to go with me. The leader of the team sent the good seeds left by Zhu Xiang to Yanmen County. Lian Po took a deep breath and said with a miserable smile, "The good seeds left by Zhu Xiang for the people of Zhao must always be planted in the land of Zhao State." ”

“…… Only. ”

Ding Lianyuan, a member of the Lian family who had gone to Changping with Zhu Xiang, knelt on the ground, smashed his fist hard, and the back of his hand was dripping with blood.

When Lian Yuan went out of the city, the people of the peasant family and the people of the Mo family walked hand in hand through the mountains.

Zhu Xianggong once said that when it snows, the wheat seedlings will be flattened and covered with snowdrifts, and the wheat seedlings can re-establish themselves in the next year, which is true. In this way, he deceived the officials, hoping to save some harvest. ”

"Most of the officials don't know what potatoes look like. When the wheat is tasseled, they will not let the peasants pull out the wheat that is about to be harvested in order to collect taxes. ”

"Potatoes only need three months to grow, and now they are planted in the fields where the harvest is out of harvest, which should save the famine."

"It's just that the seeds aren't enough. The potatoes are warm, and all the potatoes that the winter officials forced to plant are frozen to death, alas. ”

"Changping harvested a lot of potatoes last autumn, there should be a surplus, can you ......?"

Xianghe sighed: "Even if there are many Zhao people in Changping, the Qin army will never allow smuggling grain to the Zhao State. Maybe Zhu Xiang Guild will have a way, but ......"

"You can't let Zhu Xianggong go to danger for Zhao Ren anymore." Xu Ming said bitterly, "King Zhao wants to let Zhao people die, what does it have to do with Zhu Xianggong?" After we ship the potatoes this time, it's time to go back to Qin. Zhu Xianggong needs us. ”

Xianghe closed his unbearable eyes and nodded heavily.

……

"Meat porridge, braised vegetables, crispy chicken, crispy duck, white bun...... It's almost coping with the past. Zhu Xiang put the crispy chicken and duck on the table, and decorated the food plate with the young leaves that had just grown, "Let's go, serve!" ”

Cai Ze was tidying up his appearance, and said worriedly: "Zheng'er sent braised pork over, but the king didn't let people continue to use it." Will the braised pork not suit your appetite? ”

"If it doesn't suit your appetite, your lord will definitely send someone to come." Zhu Xiang said, "I guess the king is just embarrassed to urge me." ”

Cai Ze's face was full of disbelief. Can King Qin be embarrassed?

He followed Zhu Xiang nervously and walked out of the courtyard where the kitchen was located with the food box.

Lao Qin Wang and the others were sitting at the gate of the courtyard, setting up a shed and setting up a table, and sitting on a cushioned mat to chat.

When Zhu Xiang and Cai Ze appeared, everyone looked up at them.

Ying Xiaozheng spoke out on behalf of the surrounding elders: "Uncle, you can be regarded as appearing, Zheng'er is hungry." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I knew I should have served some of the dishes first." Zhu Xiang said embarrassedly, "Zheng'er, you should come to urge your uncle." ”

Ying Xiaozheng sighed: "Zheng'er is afraid of disturbing his uncle's cooking." Hurry up, hurry up, Zheng'er is hungry. ”

"Okay." Zhu Xiang reported the name of the dish like the shopkeeper in the TV series, "Five puffy braised ducks, five puffy braised chickens, braised vegetable platters, kang white buns, minced meat porridge!" ”

Zhu Xiang placed a braised chicken and a braised duck in front of King Qin, Fan Ju, and Bai Qi, and the remaining two braised chickens and braised ducks were divided among them.

Zhu Xiang felt that the three old men couldn't eat a whole braised chicken, but it was not good for them to eat it separately, right? So waste is waste.

Zi Chu didn't have any complaints about not being able to get the braised chicken and braised duck alone, and a smile appeared on his face. Obviously, Zhu Xiang's unkind approach to him made him very useful.

"Your Majesty, if it doesn't fit your stomach......"

Before Zhu Xiang finished speaking, King Qin, Bai Qi, and Fan Ju very skillfully took out the short sword from the private room, cut off the chicken leg and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Great!" King Qin's eyes widened, and the speed of eating meat accelerated. In the blink of an eye, a whole chicken has been cut to the head and wings.

He put his head in his mouth and crunched, swallowed the flesh and bones, and sucked his wings and crunched, and the chicken wings were reduced to two bones.

King Qin breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his hands and short sword with a handkerchief, drank a cup of honey water, picked up a white bun, and hesitated.

When the stunned Zhu Xiang came back to his senses and was about to tell King Qin that the white bun that had been cut in half was going to be used to sandwich the braised pork, King Qin had already picked up the chopsticks and put the bulging braised pork into the white bun to feast on.

Zhu Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Okay, I believe it, don't tell me anything that Xianqin didn't have white flour steamed buns, I declare that the way to eat meat sandwich buns is definitely engraved in the DNA from the beginning of the old Qin people!

How did the ancestors carve everything into their DNA!

"Uncle, aren't you hungry?" Ying Xiaozheng held the chicken leg and tried to feed it to Zhu Xiang.

King Qin, who was nibbling on the meat bun, had his eyes glued to the chicken legs.

Zhu Xiang patted Ying Xiaozheng on the back: "Go." ”

"Oh." Ying Xiaozheng stood up and ran to King Qin, "Father Zeng eats chicken legs." ”

King Qin smiled: "Okay, really good." ”

King Qin accepted Ying Xiaozheng's chicken leg, Zi Chu, who was holding another chicken leg, and Cai Ze, who was holding a duck leg, stiffened their hands.

But they have already gnawed a few bites, and it is impossible to give them to King Qin again, so they can only continue to gnaw on their heads.

Ying Xiaozheng's eyes were shining: "Does Father Zeng want to eat duck legs?" Zheng'er will give it to you. ”

King Qin nodded: "Okay." ”

Ying Xiaozheng happily took the duck leg cut by Zhu Xiang and handed it to King Qin before coming back to eat meat.

In Ying Xiaozheng's back and forth, Bai Qi put down the short sword and wiped his fingers one by one with a handkerchief.

He has eaten all the braised chicken and braised ducks, and the bones are clean and clean.

Zhu Xiang originally thought that when the banquet was held, the King of Qin would say a few words about the scene, and then according to the etiquette, whoever moved the chopsticks first and the chopsticks later, or raised the cup and took a sip first.

Who knows, the king of Qin and the Xiangguo and the general of the Qin State did not follow any etiquette at all, and directly took out the short sword and began to eat meat, as fast as if they were about to march to war.

King Qin and General Bai Qi are just that, why Fan Xiangguo, you only have half a braised duck left? Aren't you anorexic?

"Why didn't you cook such a delicacy for the widow on the way?" King Qin was a little unhappy.

Zhu Xiang was not frightened, he explained: "The marinade needs a variety of spices such as cinnamon bark, grass fruit, cumin, cumin, star anise, etc., plus cane sugar and soybean paste to boil all night, and there are no conditions on the road." However, after the brine is boiled, it is stored in the ice cellar, and the water is added to boil every time you eat, and it can be used for ten years. ”

In fact, it can be used for a month, but Zhu Xiang was afraid that it would not deteriorate if it was not stored well, and he would eat King Qin with diarrhea, so he only said it for ten years.

King Qin was puzzled: "It sounds very troublesome." Do you know that the widow is coming to eat today? ”

"I don't know." Zhu Xiang shook his head, "I asked Xue Ji to boil the marinade yesterday, and I want to go home today......"

In King Qin's sharp eyes, Zhu Xiang changed his words: "Go home today and stew some chickens and ducks to send to King Qin, Ying Hou and Wu Anjun." ”

"You have a heart." King Qin wiped the crumbs on his mouth, "Some of the spices you said, I have heard of them, and they will be used in the eight treasures of "Zhou Li". The rest ...... What is cumin? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Cumin and other spices were tasted when I bought herbs from the mountain people. The king sent people to my house, and I taught them to plant. ”

King Qin bowed: "Most of the manors near Handan are owned by the royal family. Don't you need some test plots? The manor fields are at your disposal. I'll send you a few more Zhuangzi to you and Zheng'er...... and Zichu. ”

Although King Qin only remembered Zi Chu after an embarrassing pause, Zi Chu was already very grateful to be able to remember himself.

Zichu was grateful and embarrassed.

He originally wanted to wait for Zhu Xiang to protect Zhu Xiang after he arrived in the Qin State, but he didn't do anything yet, so Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er helped him earn a Zhuangzi first.

He had a bad premonition. In the future, should he continue to be favored by Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er? What a shame it is!

While thanking him, Zichu wondered if he could do something to let Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er also get some benefits.

After eating a chicken and a meat bun in one go, King Qin ate a little slower and turned on the tasting mode.

Fan Ju rubbed his stomach and followed King Qin to taste.

The servants will pour honey and wine, and the king of Qin and Fan Ju will push the cups and change the lamps, and export them into chapters, quoting scriptures. Although there were no poems to fight at this time, there were a lot of classics and poems, which were enough for people at this time, and finally had a little bit of the feeling that the banquet should have in ancient times.

After King Qin and Fan Ju slowed down their eating speed, Zhu Xiang and the others did not dare to bury their heads in hardship anymore. They pricked up their ears to listen to King Qin and Fan Ju talking, and picked up a few words from time to time.

Zhu Xiang's memory is very strong, and he can accept the words of King Qin and Fan Ju. However, he only rounded the field when Cai Ze and Zichu couldn't catch it. As for Bai Qi, he is pretending to be dumb.

Ying Xiaozheng didn't want to get involved. He climbed into his aunt's arms and coquettishly asked her to feed him meat.

At this banquet, King Qin allowed Xue to sit at the same table, which finally showed his attitude of approving Xue.

At the end of the meal, Bai Qi ate the braised chicken and duck, and drank a big bowl of porridge; King Qin ate the braised duck and couldn't drink the porridge; Fan Ju looked at the remaining half of the duck, his mouth was very greedy, but his slightly swollen stomach told him that he couldn't eat it anymore.

Fan Ju smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect me to be greedy today." ”

Zhu Xiang hurriedly said: "I soaked some dried hawthorn, and I can use some to eat later." ”

"Okay." Fan Ju smiled, "You can make the gang Lin the same...... Lin Qing takes care of her body, I believe it. I've been raising it in your house for a while, and I'm sure I'll be able to get better. ”
