"Why are you still coughing? Uncle will make you something delicious. Zhu Xiang put down Ying Xiaozheng worriedly, didn't change his clothes, and turned around and went to the kitchen to make steamed oranges for Ying Xiaozheng.

Tangerines and pomelos are specialties of the Chu State. After the Qin State obtained the land of Bashu and burned the ancestral tomb of the Chu king, oranges and grapefruit became common fruits on the table of the King of Qin.

King Qin and Prince Zhu often lived in Zhu Xiang's house, and Zhu Xiang's family naturally ate southern fruits from afar.

However, at this time, the oranges and grapefruit are not too sweet, and there are many seeds. When Zhu Xiang steamed the oranges, he picked the seeds for a long time.

After steaming the oranges, Zhu Xiang boiled another pot of ginger tea.

Ying Xiaozheng quickly finished eating the sugar-steamed oranges, but covered his nose and refused to drink ginger tea.

"Don't drink it!" Ying Xiaozheng kicked his short legs hard, turned around and ran.

"Drinking ginger tea is so good that ginger tea is not difficult to drink." Zhu Xiang chased after Ying Xiaozheng with ginger tea, "Xue, stop Zheng'er!" ”

Xue stood by and watched, smiling at Zhu Xiang and Zheng'er chasing.

Although Ying Xiaozheng has short legs, he can run much faster than Zhu Xiang with ginger tea.

He took Zhu Xiang around the yard in a circle, shaking his round little head vigorously: "Don't drink!" Unpleasant! ”

"Good medicine is bitter, this is not medicine, don't be willful!" Zhu Xiang followed in circles.

King Qin held on to Lin Zhen's hands, and when he walked into Zhu Xiang's house with Lin Zhen, whose back was soaked with sweat, Ying Xiaozheng, who was sick but still full of energy, was still spinning in circles.

Zhu Xiang gasped heavily, and Ying Xiaozheng's running speed did not slow down at all.

Zichu whispered to the old father: "Yan Qin, is Zheng'er really sick?" ”

Prince Zhu said: "Maybe as soon as Zhu Xiang comes back, Zheng'er's illness will be cured?" ”

Lin Zhen carefully withdrew his hand, King Qin grabbed his hand tightly, and he couldn't pull it out.

Lin Zhen said in a pleading tone: "Zhu Xiang, what are you doing?" "Come and save me!

Zhu Xiang gasped and said, "Hurry up and help me stop Zheng'er, Zheng'er refuses to drink ginger tea." ”

Ying Xiaozheng jumped behind King Qin and hid: "Don't drink!" Unpleasant! ”

Lin Zhen said: "King Qin, I will take Zheng'er over?" ”

King Qin said angrily: "Zheng'er doesn't want to drink it, don't drink it." Zheng'er drinks medicine every day, ginger tea, and it's okay not to drink it. ”

Zhu Xiang was speechless: "Your Majesty, Zheng'er can even drink bitter medicine, why can't he drink ginger tea?" Don't be pampered. ”

Ying Xiaozheng poked his little head out from behind King Qin: "No!" ”

When my uncle comes back, I'm going to be willful, a little bit.

Zhu Xiang and Zi Chu glanced at each other.

Zi Chu turned his face sideways and didn't look at Zhu Xiang.

The king said that there is no need to drink, can I still disobey the king?

Zhu Xiang was extremely helpless: "Your ......"

King Qin said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if you don't drink, you won't drink!" ”

Ying Xiaozheng probe: "Yes, don't drink it!" ”

Zhu Xiang laughed angrily at these two people.

How long has he been gone, and is King Qin about to become a great-grandfather who dotes on his children? If Zheng'er is taught badly, he will definitely curse King Qin silently in his heart.

"Okay, don't drink it." Zhu Xiang said, "Uncle originally wanted to wait for Zheng'er to get better and make cream and frost for Zheng'er to eat." If Zheng'er doesn't want to get well so quickly, then Uncle will eat cream and frost around Zheng'er with Lin Li, Xia Tong, and Cai Ze, is Zheng'er good? ”

Cai Ze: "? "He didn't want to be so naïve.

Lin Zhen immediately said happily: "This is good." What else can't Zheng'er eat? We ate together around Zheng'er. ”

Ying Xiaozheng lowered his head and gave Lin Zhen a bull charge.

King Qin finally let go of his hand, and Lin Zhen hurriedly picked up Ying Xiaozheng and carried it on his shoulders, dancing: "Zheng'er, do you want to Uncle Lin?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng hugged Lin Zhen's head, although the corners of his eyes and mouth were bent into a string moon, he still said stiffly: "No, I didn't think about it at all." ”

"Ouch, if you don't want me, I won't let you come down." Lin Zhen jumped around, "Stunned you." ”

King Qin: "......" This person is a bit like Lin Qing. The widow is still here, why did he jump?

Zichu turned his face to the side again.

Lin Li is really humiliating. How can he face the king like this, he is really not afraid of death.

"Hurry up!" Zhu Xiang leaned over, "I caught you, right?" Hurry up and drink! ”

Ying Xiaozheng pursed his mouth: "I don't want to drink." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Cream and frost? ”

Ying Xiaozheng angrily took the ginger tea that had become warm from Zhu Xiang's hand, used the top of Lin Zhen's head as a small table, drank the ginger tea in small sips, and then knocked the cup to the top of Lin Zhen's head, playing a little temper.

Lin Zhen cooperated with Ying Xiaozheng, shouting "Dong Dong Dong" in his mouth, as if Ying Xiaozheng was beating his head as a drum.

King Qin looked at Zi Chu and asked Zi Chu with his eyes, is this person really Lin Xiangru's son?

The widow is still here!

Zi Chu sighed in his heart and whispered: "Your Majesty, Lin Li studied under Zhuangzi. ”

King Qin's face fell.

Yes? That Zhuang Zhou? What the widow wants is Lin Qing's son and disciple, not Zhuang Zhou's disciple!

"Although Lin Li studied under Zhuangzi, he is indeed talented." Zichu defended his friend, "Lin Li originally wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains after Lin Gong passed away, but Lin Gong hoped that Lin Li could enter Qin to assist the monarch. Although Lin Gong could not deviate from the Zhao State, he also hoped that the world could be unified as soon as possible. That's why Lin Gong will let Lin Li enter Qin. ”

King Qin said with a slumped face: "For the sake of the widow? Not for Zhu Xiang? ”

"If it is for Zhu Xiang, Lin Li can live in seclusion in Zhu Xiang's house, instead of entering the Qin State as an official." Zi Chu said, "Lin Li is also only idle in Zhao State. King Zhao gave Lin Li the position of county guard, and Lin Li quickly resigned and returned home. ”

King Qin's heart was relieved: "He refused to be an official in Zhao State, and he will be an official when he arrives in Qin State?" ”

Zi Chu said: "Lin Li is filial, Lin Gong's order, he will definitely listen." ”

King Qin's heart became more comfortable. Lin Qing has a widow in her heart!

Fan Ju secretly pouted. Gongzi Chu is really good at talking, no wonder he was able to escape from Zhao back to Qin.

Bai Qi glanced at Fan Ju, thinking that he would talk to Zhu Xiang later, and get together some more gifts to help Lin Zhen give to Ying Hou.

After living with Fan Ju for a long time, Bai Qi found more and more that Ying Hou's heart was too small.

But fortunately, although Ying Hou is small-minded, as long as he can show his respect for him in time, he is relieved quickly.

Bai Qi finally got on good terms with Fan Ju, and he didn't have to worry about Fan Ju backstabbing him. It's just that in the process of getting along with Fan Ju, he is more tired than letting Chu move the capital.

After Lin Zhen teased Zheng'er, he carried Zheng'er and saluted King Qin: "I miss Zheng'er too much, I have a bit of a gaffe, please forgive me." ”

"Nothing, nothing." King Qin smiled and said, "If you miss Zheng'er, let's live in Zhu Xiang's house temporarily." The widow will find you a house near Zhu Xiang's house. ”

Lin Zhen knelt down with Zheng'er on his shoulders and thanked him. He kowtowed, and Zheng'er bowed his head together, making King Qin so funny.

Ying Xiaozheng smiled and hugged Lin Zhen's head and didn't let go, Zhu Xiang urged him, but he refused to come down.

As soon as his uncle came home, the calm and precocious Gongzi Zheng immediately turned back into a naughty and naïve Zheng'er. And as soon as Lin Zhen came, Zheng'er became even more naughty.

Zichu pressed his brows, always feeling a headache.

Prince Zhu likes Zheng'er's appearance very much. He prefers naughty children to precocious children. It's easier to get along that way.

Ying Xiaozheng was too precocious after Zhu Xiang left, which made Prince Zhu look a little creepy.

He finally knew why the foolish woman had abandoned the princess. Children who are too precocious and intelligent can really be frightening.

However, seeing that the people around him were not afraid of Zheng'er's strange behavior, Prince Zhu had no choice but to hypnotize himself, Zheng'er was not weird at all, smart children were like this.

hypnotized and hypnotized, Prince Zhu really hypnotized himself.

When he sees his other grandchildren now, he is always dissatisfied. He doesn't want these grandchildren to be as smart as Zheng'er, so they are half as smart as Zheng'er, right?

Prince Zhu is becoming more and more strict with his grandson, which has accumulated a lot of jealousy towards Zheng'er in the backyard, which is not mentioned for the time being.

Zhu Xiang returned home, although King Qin said that he wanted Zhu Xiang to have a good rest, he came to Zhu Xiang's house to sit in private clothes, and was already waiting for the banquet to start.

Prince Zhu had already sent the ingredients and seasonings, and he didn't eat much in the morning, just waiting for Zhu Xiang to come back to cook, he had a big meal.

King Qin and Prince Zhu also ordered the dish "Lotus Leaf Chicken" and brought fine wine, which Zhu Xiang could spoil casually.

Zhu Xiang supported his forehead.

Although he knew what was going on this way, Meng Wu would definitely send someone to report it to King Qin. But King Qin actually ordered the dishes he had made on the road, which still made him a little crying and laughing.

Is that how intelligence is used? He also thought that King Qin would take his hand and ask him about his political discussions with Lin Zhen and Zichu.

King Qin didn't want to talk about politics for the time being, he just wanted to eat. Zhu Xiang could only change his clothes and go to the kitchen to cook.

At this time, the sake brewing industry was already relatively developed, and koji made from wheat seedlings began to be used. There are also many raw materials for sake brewing.

Although the alcohol content at this time is only in the tens or twenty degrees at most, the taste is quite sweet. After the sake has been clarified, it is not much different from the rice wine of later generations.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, sake brewing was already very well understood by using sweet spring water and boiling utensils.

Although the Qin State often promulgated alcohol prohibition among the people, the Qin king himself had many wine-making workshops.

Although Zhu Xiang has a "secret recipe" for winemaking, the rice wine he brews is not necessarily comparable to the fine wine carefully selected in the winemaking workshop of King Qin. It's just that in terms of quality control, Zhu Xiang will be better.

However, Zhu Xiang has other "secret recipes" in addition to grain wine. Now he is a nobleman and can make his own wine for money.

Although the Qin State forbade private business, nobles were allowed to do business.

When the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, the wealthy families of the Six Kingdoms could also do business, and even deal in salt and iron. Qin Shi Huang exiled the merchants among the Qin people, and at the same time praised the widows and wealthy merchants of Bashu, and this act of separation is because of this.

Therefore, the old Qin people who had shed their blood for the unification of the Qin State would become more and more disappointed, and when Liu Bang entered the customs, they rushed to defect.

Chapter 57: Drunken Chicken with Corn Wine

Ying Xiaozheng and Lin Zhen quarreled for a while, and after saluting Zichu in a proper manner, they immediately ran to the kitchen to watch Zhu Xiang cook.

There are old cold legs who like to enjoy the Qin King, and tables and chairs have been prevalent in Xianyang. When Zhu Xiang's family entertains guests, they usually use tables and chairs.

Ying Xiaozheng sat on the small bench, holding his fleshy face in both hands, watching his uncle busy.
