Zhu Xiang said: "The exam, the selection layer by layer, the last exam is presided over by the monarch, and all the officials are protégés of the Son of Heaven." ”

Zichu's eyes lit up: "Zhu Xiang! ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Don't hand over documents to the king now, this system is to dig up the roots of traditional nobles, and whoever mentions it will die." To do it, you have to figure it out slowly. ”

"Why ......" As soon as Zi Chuyan asked, he frowned and said, "I see, indeed." ”

Lin Zhen stroked his beard that he hadn't shaved in order to keep filial piety: "Other countries can't do it, but Qin State can." In order to select foreign talents, the monarch of the country first built a random building, and then assessed the talents of the six countries who came to seek officials in that building. ”

Lin Zhen is free, and he immediately came up with a good way to deceive the nobles of the world by deviant.

Zi Chu looked at Lin Zhen, and his eyes lit up again.

Then Lin Zhen looked back at Zi Chu and made a shyness towards Zi Chu.

Zi Chu's eyes and the joy on his face immediately dimmed, and he glanced away from Lin Yi.

Lin Zhen's reaction was amused, and he slapped his legs and laughed.

Zhu Xiang gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up: "Amazing, you write this matter into a document and submit it together with cotton, and the king will definitely worship you as the secretary." ”

Lin Zhen said proudly: "Don't give me a king?" ”

Zi Chu said angrily: "You are still far away." Why don't you give you a handan king? When you get down, Handan will give it to you. ”

Lin Zhenle said: "How embarrassing it is, Handan Jun should give it to you or Zheng'er to commemorate your and Zheng'er's proton career." ”

Zichu: "......" He burst into a foul mouth in his heart, and his fists itched.

The three of them ate dry food and drank cold water, and suddenly discussed a national plan.

Meng Wu's cold sweat broke out. He felt that he should not be sitting here.

He has too much responsibility. After the three of them retired from the guards, Meng Wu thought that his status could listen to their small talk, so he deliberately came together to eat dry food together, not to listen to gossip and have fun.

Since the three of them didn't let him leave, Meng Wu thought he could listen. Who knows, these three people are actually talking and saying such terrible things!

"General Meng, you're not going to tell the truth, are you?" Lin Zhen didn't let go of the head of the guard who was silently eating dry food on the side, and squeezed his eyebrows.

Meng Wu shook his head vigorously: "I don't understand Zhao Guo's dialect!" ”

Zichu: "...... General Meng, Lin Li's words are also in Zhao Guohua. ”

Meng Wu groaned and hugged his head.

Lin Zhen laughed and grabbed Meng Wu's shoulder: "General Meng, if you get on the thief ship by mistake, you won't be able to get down." Zichu, get ready, let General Meng worship you as the monarch. ”

Zi Chu scolded: "I don't want to be imprisoned by the king yet!" Get lost! ”

Lin Zhen almost choked with laughter.

Meng Wu continued to hold his head, his expression extremely painful.

He followed Zhu Xianggong and Gongzi Chu on a trip, and watched the fun for a few months, how did the fun turn to himself?

Zhu Xiang also laughed and joked with Meng Wu, so that Meng Wu could not struggle.

He laughed as he continued to think about Lian Gong.

Lin Zhen and Zichu both found out, but they deliberately changed the topic and didn't let themselves go along with Zhao Guo's affairs.

At least fifty percent of the land of Zhao State was not harvested, but Lian Gong was isolated and helpless, and he could only bear notoriety in order to save Zhao and Zhao State.

Chapter 55 The lotus leaf is called the flower chicken

The Qin soldiers who were guarding found that their commander, General Mengwu, suddenly joined the team of Zhu Xianggong and Gongzi Chu one day, and ate together around the pot where Zhu Xianggong was cooking.

In the past, although General Meng would go to eat, he would eat alone with a bowl on the side.

Lin Zhen hooked his shoulders to Meng Wu: "You are welcome to join us." ”

Meng Wu stuffed his head and ate meat, and he didn't want to deal with Lin Zhen. Zi Chu couldn't help laughing, and also joined Lin Zhen to make fun of Meng Wu.

As soon as he left Xianyang, Zichu tried to get along with Meng Wu. But Meng Wu had a businesslike attitude, and although he was respectful to him, he did not show any closeness.

Zi Chu was only the grandson of the King of Qin, and he couldn't show the attitude of winning over the generals of the Qin State, so Zi Chu also stayed away from Meng Wu.

Unexpectedly, Meng Wu was still "planted".

However, if there was no Lin Zhen, a thick-faced and black-hearted person, they would not have been able to make friends with Meng Wu because of a single word.

Zhu Xiang had objections to Zi Chu's judgment: "Is there a possibility that General Meng has long wanted to befriend us, but he didn't find a chance?" If General Meng really didn't want to be friendly with us, Lin Zhen's joking 'get on the thief ship' was useless. He is only loyal to the King of Qin, and what we say now can be known by the King of Qin, and it doesn't matter if he reports to the King of Qin. ”

Zichu didn't believe it. But within a few days, Meng Wu pestered Zhu Xiang and listened to Zhu Xiang's story. He believed.

Zi Chu complained to Lin Zhen: "General Meng surrounds Zhu Xiang, just like a butterfly surrounds a flower. Is Zhu Xiang so fragrant? ”

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "General Meng seems to like to listen to interesting stories, but there are many strange stories in Zhu Xiang's heart. If it weren't for the people Zhu Xiang knew, I would know it, and I thought when Zhu Xiang hooked up with his family again. ”

Zi Chu also smiled: "It is estimated that it will be soon." Didn't Zhu Xiang promise General Meng to write out the story in his womb and publish it into a book? ”

Meng Wu not only likes to listen to stories and gossip, but as a military general, he is also very persistent in eating.

In the past, Zhu Xiang was not good at instructing him, but after becoming friends, the two of them were not polite. Going up the mountain to catch hares, going down to the river to fish, and exchanging chickens and ducks for villages and towns, Mengwu provided Zhu Xiang with fresh ingredients every day.

Zhu Xiang plucked chicken feathers and pondered, was he in a hurry or having a picnic?

Meng Wu circled around Zhu Xiang, waiting for food to be very anxious.

Zi Chu and Lin Zhen pointed at Meng Wu on the side, and were glanced at by Zhu Xiang.

"You're so idle, don't you come to help me?" Zhu Xiang said, "Boil water, wash rice, pick vegetables, don't be idle!" ”

Zi Chu and Lin Zhen had no choice but to roll up their sleeves and join the ranks of cooking.

Among the Qin soldiers who guarded was a leader soldier who was in charge of cooking. He wanted to speak on the side, not knowing how to fight for the right to cook for Changpingjun.

In the end, he still lost the opportunity to cook to curry favor with the nobles, and could only cook for his colleagues.

When he left the border of Zhao again and was about to enter Qin, Zhu Xiang asked Meng Wu to buy wine and worship to the east.

He told Lin Gong that if he left Zhao this time, he was afraid that he would not return to Zhao until Qin unified Zhao.

After the memorial service, Zhu Xiang looked at the wine poured on the ground, reluctant to waste the precious grain and wine, dug out the wine mud, and prepared to make a flower chicken.

Now that the lotus flowers in the pond have bloomed, Zhu Xiang took the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, salted the chicken bought from the farmer, put lotus seeds in the belly of the chicken, wrapped them with lotus leaves, and then sealed them with wine mud and roasted them on a fire.

Zhu Xiang also asked Meng Wu to smash the hard dried meat and boil it together with dry food and fresh wild vegetables to make a paste.

When they finished drinking the paste and paddled their stomachs, the simplified version of the flower chicken was also baked.

The simplified version is called flower chicken is tender and juicy, although only salt, but the fragrance of lotus flowers, lotus leaves, lotus pods and wine are mixed, and the stimulation of smell drives the sense of taste, so that the tongue has an illusion, as if the taste of chicken is also many layers and delicious.

"I haven't actually eaten this dish!" Lin Zhen was very dissatisfied, "My family has wine and lotus, you haven't made this dish for me!" ”

Zichu also nodded. Zhu Xiang is really unkind.

Zhu Xiang said: "The wine is precious, and the mud is wasted. You don't lack good food, don't waste it. ”

Lin Zhen rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "So, do you have a more wasteful way to eat?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Yes, use the soup boiled by dozens of chickens to cook hot vegetables, discard the chicken and chicken soup, and only eat green vegetables." ”

Lin Zhen was puzzled: "...... Is it tasty? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "It's the taste of boiled vegetables in ordinary chicken soup." ”

Lin Zhen was even more puzzled: "Then what's the point of wasting like this?" ”

Zhu Xiang spread his hands: "In order to show his wealth." ”

Lin Zhen patted Zi Chu's shoulder and said, "When you become the king of Qin, you will try it." ”

Zichu kicked his foot. Do you want me to be a faint king?

But he was also curious about how much more food could be wasted.

Zhu Xiang gave them examples of kung fu dishes such as bean sprouts stuffed pork, chicken bean curd, and boiling water cabbage, as well as other ways to eat seafood soup that is cooled into soup jelly and made into flowers, and then melted in boiling water to turn the flowers into seafood-flavored soup......

Lin Zhen was amazed, and kept patting Zi Chu's shoulder, asking Zi Chu to try it when he became the queen of Qin.

Zi Chu's eyes rolled painfully.

He suspected that Lin Zhen did not want to help him and Zhu Xiang when he entered Qin, but if he wanted to be a traitor and destroy the Qin State from within.

"The so-called extravagant dishes are tossed with a bunch of expensive ingredients. Whether it tastes good or not, the important thing is trouble. Zhu Xiang was talking nonsense there, "I'll roll out a dough for you, cut it thinner than a hair, and after frying it in oil, it is a noble dish to drizzle with honey, which is more noble than directly fried dough." ”

Meng Wu couldn't help but interject: "Hearing Changping Jun say this, how do I feel that these nobles are fools who are self-impressed?" ”

"I think so too. But Meng Wu, you have known Zhu Xiang for so long, and you refuse to call him Zhu Xiang, Zhu Xiang is really sad. Lin Zhen said to Zhu Xiang, "Quick, sobbed a few times." ”

Although Zhu Xiang felt that Lin Zhen's brain was not lightly ill, he still sobbed a few times cooperatively.

The expression on Meng Wu's face was extremely distorted. Zi Chu tilted his head, obviously disgusted by these two people.

Zi Chu complained: "Instead of pretending to be disgusting, you should threaten him, if his address is so polite, you won't let him eat Zhu Xiang's cooking!" ”

Lin Zhen said: "The battle is only interesting if it is evenly matched, and it is boring to crush." ”

Zichu objected: "Crushing is the most interesting, and it is best to win without a fight." ”

Meng Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Well, the attention is not on him.

However, looking at the quarrel between Lin Zhen and Gongzi Chu, he felt a trace of envy in his heart.

The king of Qin was strict, and the nobles rarely feasted on each other. Meng Wu's father entered Qin from Qi, so he paid more attention to being a "lonely minister". Meng Wu didn't have any friends around him who could fight with each other.

"General Meng, how about catching fish and eating grilled fish tomorrow?" Zhu Xiang ignored the two best friends who were arguing again, and crunched and chewed on the chicken cartilage.

Meng Wu: "Ah, good. ”

When Meng Wu was constantly teased by Lin Zhen and hesitated to really call Zhu Xiang by his name, Zhu Xiang and the others returned to the Qin State.

Zhu Xiang took out paper and charcoal and began to record the soil, water source, and vegetation along the road. If he saw a problematic farmland, Zhu Xiang would also find the farmer and teach them to solve the problem.

"I am Zhu Xiang, the king of Changping, and the king of Qin ordered me to inspect the fields and guide you to farm." Zhu Xiang took out the edict of the King of Qin, and really took the excuse of leaving Qin as a serious job.

Zichu reminded him that it was just an excuse. Zhu Xiang shook his head and said, "Since the king has issued an edict, even if I do other things halfway, the work must be completed well." ”

Zi Chu said: "Maybe the king wants you to return to Xianyang as soon as possible?" ”

Zhu Xiang continued to shake his head: "The king treats me well, and I should do things better." ”
