Ying Xiaozheng bowed: "Go back first, and then come to the warship." Teacher! Tell me about the legend of your thousand horses breaking through the Chu Kingdom! ”

Li Mu was puzzled: "When did I break through the Chu State with a thousand horses?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng was also puzzled: "Huh? But I've heard people say that in Xianyang. ”

Li Mudao: "All my experiences in the war have been handed over to the documents, and Zheng'er should have seen it." ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "I've seen it, it's just that there are thousands of horsemen who break through the Chu State." ”

Li Mu: "? ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "? ”

The two of them stared wide-eyed, and Zhu Xiang couldn't help it, laughing heartily on the side.

"Obviously, there is a gap between the two of you." Zhu Xiang said with a smile, "What Zheng'er said is that you led the cavalry back and forth in the hinterland of Chu State. ”

Li Mu realized: "Oh, that thing? I didn't break the Chu State, I didn't capture the Chen capital. ”

Ying Xiaozheng insisted: "It's all broken through the Chu State, why don't you call it broken?" ”

Zhu Xiang just stopped laughing, and couldn't help laughing.

Li Mu's stunned appearance and Ying Xiaozheng's stubborn appearance are really funny.

At this time, who can see the prestige of these two people outside?

Li Mu and Ying Xiaozheng discussed whether or not they had a thousand horsemen to break through the Chu State, and they were very bored and useless.

Zhu Xiang went to look at the various weapons on the warship, especially the gunpowder weapons.

He turned his head to the two masters and apprentices who were discussing: "The efficiency of throwing gunpowder canisters with trebuchets is too low, have you ever thought about using green ...... Cast a large barrel out of gild, and push a ball of stone or iron with gunpowder? ”

Li Mu and Ying Xiaozheng discussed for a while, and then sighed together.

Li Mu said: "These things are talked about privately. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Uncle! ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Oh, good. ”

Zhu Xiang remembered that neither Li Mu nor Zheng'er were allowed to talk about their ideas about war and weapons in public. He continued to "sightsee", sorted out some of his "wonderful ideas", and told Li Mu when he returned home.

The wharf is crowded with people, and there are actually people who use dyes to dye paper into colors, and make clouds and flowers of various colors to decorate the atmosphere.

Nanchu originally had no paper, and after Zhu Xiang came, Nanchu papermaking raw materials were extremely sufficient, and now it seems that paper has become more common, otherwise it would not be used to tie colorful cloud flowers.

However, before papermaking entered mechanized manufacturing, paper was still relatively valuable to ordinary people. The people of Wucheng can use paper to welcome Zhu Xiang's return, which can not only see their love for Zhu Xiang, but also show that Wucheng is now very prosperous.

Han Fei and Li Si, who temporarily served as the county guard of Wu County, came to greet them.

Both of them have lost a lot of weight, but their bodies look leaner and healthier, and there is more precipitation between their eyebrows and eyes, and they are less sharp.

Especially Li Si, originally his face always had a bit of bitterness on his face, but now he is much more graceful.

"Prince, Zhu Xianggong, fortunately not dishonored." Han Fei said proudly.

Ying Xiaozheng was surprised: "You don't stutter anymore!" ”

Han Fei said slowly: "Say it slowly, divide it into short sentences, and don't stutter." ”

Ying Xiaozheng put away his surprise. Oh, still stammering.

Li Si was a little cramped: "The documents, account books, and case files have been sorted out, and we are waiting for the prince and Changping Jun to see them at any time." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "What are you nervous about?" After Zheng'er and I come back, don't you two still have to continue to work? Do you still want to tire my housekeepers? ”

Ying Xiaozheng ignored Zhu Xiang's joke, he looked left and right and said, "What about my uncle?" ”

Han Fei said: "Mrs. Changpingjun, in South Vietnam, I'm coming back soon." ”

Ying Xiaozheng almost stared at his eyes: "What? Aunt went to South Vietnam? Why! The barbarian land of South Vietnam is too dangerous! ”

Li Mu was also puzzled: "Xue Ji went to South Vietnam?" Is it because I gave away South Vietnamese cotton seeds? ”

Zhu Xiang was speechless: "You don't know where the snow went?" ”

Li Mu said: "Xue is very assertive, I only sent a team of guards to protect her. What's the matter, she didn't wait for you to come back in time and got angry? ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Don't be angry." Zheng'er and I are waiting for her to return. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "I'm a little angry. What is Nanyue, how can my aunt care about Nanyue and ignore me! No way! I'm going to South Vietnam to find my aunt! ”

Li Si hurriedly said: "Mrs. Changpingjun has already left South Vietnam, and she should return to Wu County tomorrow." ”

Ying Xiaozheng was satisfied: "Okay, then my uncle and I will go to the dock tomorrow to pick up my aunt." Uncle, I'm hungry. ”

Zhu Xiang sighed and said, "Okay, okay, my uncle will cook for you when he goes to change his clothes." ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "I caught so many fish, eat fish today." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "You really can't get tired of eating." ”

Han Fei hurriedly persuaded him: "Prince, Zhu Xianggong is tired from the journey, and there is a chef at home......"

Ying Xiaozheng interrupted: "For my uncle, cooking is rest. ”

Zhu Xiang said to Han Fei: "I'd better go." It's been a long time since you've tasted my craft. Han Fei, Li Si, do you have taboos? ”

Han Fei and Li Si were busy talking no.

Zhu Xiang nodded and went to change his clothes first. I didn't ask Li Muji.

What taboos can a man who marches to war have? Whatever he does, Li Mu eats.

Li Mu hugged his arms, his face full of helplessness.

Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng refused the invitation of the people of Wu County to receive the wind and wash the dust because of the fatigue of the journey, but after Zhu Xiang returned home, he personally took charge of the banquet for himself. Didn't you say tired?

Ying Xiaozheng also went to change clothes and pack his luggage, and by the way, he took Li Mu to see the appointment edict of Prince Chu of Qin.

From then on, Li Mu was Wu Chengjun.

Han Fei and Li Si looked at each other.

Han Fei asked, "Wu Chengjun's appointment edict?" Don't you need to burn incense, bathe, change clothes, and kneel down? ”

Li Si said: "How do I know? ”

The two future Legalist leaders sighed at each other.

Legalists pay the most attention to rules, but what if the people above them are too loose?

You can only pretend not to see it.

"Li Si, you are afraid of fish bones, you have taboos, you lie."

"What is the taboo of being afraid of fish bones! If you're afraid of fish bones, just eat it slowly! ”

"Huh."

"What are you!"

"Huh? What? ”

Han Fei was at a loss, he was just expressing his joy at Li Si finally eating fish?

Li Si looked at Han Fei's blank expression and once again angered himself with internal injuries.

Zhu Xiang changed his clothes, put his hair on the top of his head into a big bag, and then covered it with a net, and began to cook.

Although he is in charge of the spoon, he is only in charge of the spoon, and the hard work such as cutting and washing vegetables is done by the chef at home, which is not tiring.

The fish was caught by Ying Xiaozheng with a lot of effort, so Zhu Xiang couldn't waste it at all.

He scraped the fish scales with the back of a knife, washed them and wrapped them in egg batter, which served as a plate of good dishes to serve when they were crispy;

Cut the fish into translucent thin slices, boil the fish bones in soup, add sour cabbage, sour radish, sour chili, and then fry a pot of steaming pepper oil and pour it down, sauerkraut fish is the most classic fish delicacy;

Fish balls, fish intestines, fish maw, etc. are picked out, crushed and mixed with egg liquid and steamed in the basket, and the steamed eggs carry the umami of fish, as if eating crab roe and sea urchin;

When Ying Xiaozheng fished for fish, he refused to release the big fish, and he looked fierce about cutting off the fish.

The thumb-sized fish hollowed out the internal organs, cleaned and fried with soybean oil to make it crispy, and then mixed with chili powder, cumin powder, soybean flour, etc.

"Uncle! You steal to eat! ”

Ying Xiaozheng, who was already quite small, jumped out of the kitchen door and scolded harshly.

Zhu Xiang picked up the largest fried fish and dipped it in the dipping sauce, blocking Ying Xiaozheng's mouth: "The chef tastes it, how can it be called stealing?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng crunched and chewed the crispy small fish, licked his lips, and ate two more before leaving the kitchen with the fried fish that was already small.

Zhu Xiang shook his head, feeling that he had miseducated himself and let his greedy nephew eat from thieves to adulthood.

Zhu Xiang cooks; Ying Xiaozheng serves dishes; Li Mu peeled some fresh fruits and put them on the table, which was beautiful and greasy.

Han Fei and Li Si glanced at each other, and once again had the idea of whether to learn some cooking skills.

It's embarrassing!

Fortunately, there will be a job of pouring wine and tea for them later.

After Ying Xiaozheng brought the food, Li Mu didn't wait for Zhu Xiang to come to the banquet, and Ying Xiaozheng drank sweet rice wine while drinking fried small fish and fried fish scales.

Han Fei and Li Si didn't dare to eat.

Zhu Xiangdu hasn't come yet, how can they just start eating?

When Zhu Xiang finally came out with a few dishes of fried vegetables and fried yellow beef, Li Mu and Ying Xiaozheng had already eaten almost all the fried small fish and fried fish scales.

Han Fei and Li Si looked at Zhu Xiang awkwardly, worried that Zhu Xiang would be angry.

But Zhu Xiang didn't see it, and said, "Don't eat snacks, eat dinner." ”

Li Mu poured Zhu Xiang a glass of sweet rice wine and asked him to remove the dishes of fried small fish and fried fish scales.

Only then did Han Fei and Li Si know that fried small fish and fried fish scales were not a meal, but a "snack" that Zhu Xiang was afraid that Li Mu and Zheng'er would be hungry.

The two of them were depressed. Why didn't the prince and Wu Chengjun say anything? Not everyone knows Zhu Xianggong's behavior!

They regret not having tasted fried small fish and fried fish scales.

"It's still the sauerkraut fish you make that is the most delicious." Li Mu took a piece of tender fish meat into his mouth, chewed all the spines and swallowed them together.

The sauerkraut fish is sour and spicy, but not too dry and spicy, and the people who eat it are full of teeth, sweating behind them, and their spirits are steaming.
