Chapter 565: Found Tuoba Xianbei? [Requesting monthly tickets]
“Huzi, why don’t you visit Wen Jing’s house during the Mid-Autumn Festival?”
Li Yu’s words almost choked Zhao Dahu, who was cooking rice, and he took a sip of winter melon and pork ribs soup. , with an embarrassment on his face:
“I’m not engaged, so I came to the door rashly. Will Jingjing’s father drive me out with a broom? After all, a freelancer like me is not a good choice among the older generation. He is a typical example of not doing his job properly.”
Since moving here, Zhao Dahu’s income is still very considerable. The quality of this kind of hand-forged weapons is guaranteed, and the shape can be customized. It will be perfect when you put it at home. It’s a great tool for house control.
But families within the system have a natural sense of superiority over people outside the system, which is why Zhao Dahu has never dared to take action.
Zhao Feng encouraged:
"Go if you have to. First of all, you have to let the other person's parents see your sincerity, be thick-skinned, and have a sweet mouth. Think back to the beginning..."
As soon as he was about to recall the scene when he went to the Zhang family to propose marriage, he was glared at by his wife Zhang Wanping, and then he ate wisely, practicing the fine tradition of his ancestors who ate and slept without talking.
Zhao Dahu was a little excited:
"How about a trip to the Mid-Autumn Festival? Li Yu, if you say I want to bring ten boxes of Maotai, will Jingjing's father dislike it?"
Li Yu put a piece of chicken leg meat into the bowl:
“It’s hard to say whether I dislike you or not, but the value of ten boxes of Maotai is enough for bribery...”
Mu Guiying made a blind idea:
“I dare to dislike you. Just go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and report it. Isn’t this a sentence of less than three years in prison?”
Zhao Dahu: "..."
Sister, I came to visit you with gifts for the purpose of getting married, not for enmity.
Xiuhe said:
“According to the rules here in our hometown, just bring a few roast chickens and two boxes of better fruits. We are not engaged yet, so you bring so much weight. But they don’t dare to accept the gift. Once they get engaged, it’s not too late to be extravagant.”
This is just my daughter’s boyfriend, not her fiancé. His status is different, so the gifts he brings are naturally different.
Zhao Dahu looked like he had learned something. He planned to discuss it with Wen Jing after dinner and ask about the preferences of Wen Kai and his wife. Although we are not bribing, we still have to do what they want, and we can't get into trouble.
Li Yu is relatively new to visiting relatives, so he asked Xiuhe for advice:
“Sister-in-law, a newly engaged person like me, how many gifts do I need to bring to Tongtong’s house?”
Xiuhe thought for a while and said:
“We need more than ten roasted chickens. Some respectable people here even bring twenty roasted chickens to the father-in-law’s house. The bride’s uncles and uncles all All the children, two from each family, must be given in place, otherwise they will be easily made things difficult for them when they get married.”
Li Yu only remembered that when he was a child, visiting relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter who's house he went to, he would have roast chicken, but he didn't expect such a special thing.
The Queen is more concerned about economic construction:
“Do you have to bring roast chicken to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival? That roast chicken shop is going to make crazy money.”
“ Isn't that right? Now the roast chicken restaurant over at Daokou has started to make reservations. It cooks thousands of roast chickens every day and the demand exceeds the supply. My third uncle's cousin knows how to cook roast chicken. The family has long settled in the south, but every August He goes home to cook roast chicken on the first day of the lunar month. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can sell tens of thousands of roast chickens and then go back to the south to sell tens of thousands of roast chickens. Assuming that each one earns only one dollar, that’s tens of thousands of dollars.
Earning so much in half a month is indeed worth the trip.
Diao Chan asked:
“Why do the roast chicken in the south and the roast chicken in the north have the same name, but they are two completely different foods?”
Li Yu said:< br>
“In the south, the hanging oven roasting technique is called roasting, such as roasting goose, roasting duck, roasting chicken, and roasting meat. These are all methods of this kind... The roast chicken in the north is fried first and then braised. The traditional Lu In cooking techniques, there is a saying that fried chicken must be fried. If there is no frying step, it will be ordinary braised chicken. ”
Different accents and cultures cause dishes with the same name to appear in two different states.
When it comes to roast goose, Zhou Ruotong said:
"Let's make two roast geese tomorrow. After the beginning of autumn, it's time to eat goose meat."
"Okay, tomorrow I went to the village to buy two geese and roast them, and by the way, I learned how to make sour plum sauce from Lin Xu.”
Although the sour plum sauce for dipping the roasted geese is a finished product, I still want it to taste good. It needs to be simmered again so that the texture and taste can be more perfect.
Lin Xu mentioned this to Li Yu when he came last time. Now that Professor Zhou wants to eat it, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to learn it.
Zhao Dahu was worried, so he left in a hurry after eating two bowls of rice, and asked Wenjing to discuss visiting him during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, at this time, Wenjing was also worried about Hanfu Factory:
"Mid-Autumn Festival" If I go to Brain Ax's house, will he think I'm in a hurry to get married? What should I do if his parents dislike me? I heard that the senior management of the steel factory are very arrogant... It's not good to fall into the mortal world. If I had known this, I would Continue to be a playboy who flirts with beauties from all walks of life!”
Hao Zhenzhen laughed so hard:
“You look pretty average, except for your small breasts, you’re a big tiger! Your parents won’t dislike you, and they might even think that you saved their son.”
Before falling in love, Zhao Dahu was obsessed with blacksmithing, and he probably worried about his family for a long time.
Now that I suddenly have a girlfriend, who looks pretty good and has a good family background, why should I set off firecrackers all night to celebrate?
Hao Zhenzhen encouraged:
“Go when you have to, don’t be empty-handed, bring some gifts. Don’t middle-aged and elderly people like tea and various health products? You can also give them to your future parents-in-law. Buy some, maybe give you a big red envelope on the spot.”
“Hey, I don’t care about it, it’s like a fraudulent marriage, as long as they don’t refuse me to date Brain Ax... Speaking of which, it’s fine. , I still like the look of his beard, which has a sense of isolation and wildness. Unfortunately, after shaving it off, he has a plain Chinese character face and loses the look of a handsome uncle. "
< br>
After finishing her emotion, Wen Jing looked at Hao Zhenzhen and asked:
“How are you going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, you are an old cow eating young grass?”
“Go, go, you are an old cow eating young grass. Damn it, I’m a female junior holding a gold nugget... Brother Song went to my house for a meal, and then I accompanied him to Director Wang’s house to visit relatives, and then went to a B&B to have a meal, and that was it.”
< br>Wu Song’s home is in the B&B. In addition to accompanying Wu Song to a grave on the top of the mountain in the morning, the rest is to eat and drink at the B&B. There is no need to think about meeting the parents at all, which is very worry-free.
Wen Jing sighed.
Alas, it’s another day of envy for big-breasted Jane!
While sighing, Zhao Dahu called. Wen Jing's face lit up and she answered the phone calmly:
"What are you doing?"
"I want to Let’s discuss with you about going to your house during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Ah ah ah ah, we are really meant for each other, and he is actually thinking about it... Wen Jing felt excited for a while, deliberately stern. He asked with a straight face:
"Why are you going to my house?"
"Visit your uncle and aunt and tell them that I can take good care of you."
Wen Jing originally wanted to stretch her arms, but Zhao Dahu's words made her feel uncomfortable. Nuan, I wish I could kiss this guy right now:
"One minute, I want you to appear in front of me, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
As soon as she hung up the phone, Wen Jing saw the door. In the parked pickup truck, the stupid blacksmith with broad shoulders opened the door and got out of the truck like a thief. His dazed look made Wen Jing couldn't help but feel happy:
"You actually know how to talk about love. You have to interrogate me later to find out who you learned it from!"
When it was dark, Wu Song drove Zhao Yun and Zhao Xue to the B&B, and was about to turn around and go back. , Li Yu said to him:
"Erlang, take the time to go to the book world and tell Xiao Qi, let him collect 70 big roosters and raise them first, and when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival here, they will all be made into roast chicken." , I brought them to visit relatives in the capital."
Seventy roast chickens, ten were brought to the Zhou family in the capital, ten were given to my father-in-law Mu Yu in Muke Village, and ten were sent to the Fengshen World. In addition, the Wa Palace will give ten, the underworld will give ten, the parents in the provincial capital will give ten, and ten will be left in the B&B for Zhao Yun and Zhao Xueyu to practice in Chengdu.
When Wu Song heard this, he sent a message to Hao Zhenzhen, and then went directly from the gate to Handan City, where the Water Margin talks about Yue World, and found Ruan Xiaoqi, who was about to drive an off-road motorcycle to collect the chickens:< br>
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon in the real world. Brother Li would like to ask you to collect a batch of roosters in advance and make roast chicken for visiting relatives."
Xiao Qi quickly put the motorcycle sent by Li Yu on the roadside. :
"How many do you want?"
"One hundred, Brother Li, seventy, I want thirty...Buy the chickens first and fatten them up, and do it this way The roast chicken is delicious."
"Okay, no problem, I will mobilize the entire Handan City to collect chickens later."
Upon hearing her husband’s need, Xiaoqi showed enthusiasm:
“Erlang, you don’t know something. Whether the roasted chicken is delicious or not has something to do with the oil. First fry it with lard, and then pour a little bit of it into the soup when braised. A spoonful of lard, and then a piece of pig fat is thrown in. As long as the stew is fat enough, the roasted chicken will be much more delicious. "Wu Song really didn't expect to have such a skill:
" Qian Ming. Let me learn how to braise chicken at home. Is this what you concluded?” Other delicacies.”
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he went to do other things. Wu Song felt that since he was here once, it would not be appropriate not to visit Laoguan, so he strolled to the construction site outside the city and happened to see Laoguan in green robe supervising everyone to build the city wall.
Now the base of the city wall has been repaired and is covered with various strips of stone. On top are large bricks that have been fired urgently recently and are piled up using a cooked method inside and outside.
Brick walls are used inside and outside. When building the wall, steel bars are added inside, and occasionally a beam is added to connect the inner and outer walls.
The middle is filled with adobe, and every half meter, a layer of bamboo acting as steel bars is added to make the wall stronger.
When the city wall is completed, we will also consider hanging a steel mesh and using an air pump to spray cement mortar on the wall to completely eliminate the possibility of enemy troops climbing up the wall.
Of course, if no one comes to attack, we won't be so busy to avoid wasting building materials.
Seeing Wu Song, Lao Guan looked at the calendar on his phone and asked:
"Is it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival in the real world?"
"It's almost here. Today I I came here to inform Xiaoqi to make roast chicken. Brother Li will use it to visit relatives. General Zilong will come over then. The second master can ask Taoist Gongsun to take you to Zhending Mansion so that you can have a good get-together."
If there were any other suggestions, Guan Yu would reject them without saying a word. As the head coach of one side, how could he leave his post without permission?
But this time, Laoguan rarely refused, but instead raised his hand to Wu Song and said:
"I would like to ask Erlang to stay here at that time. If there is an emergency, please inform me immediately."
"Don't worry, Second Master, I will take care of everything!"
The biggest advantage of Wu Song here is that he can go to the real world to inform everyone at any time. However, judging from the current reaction of the Song Dynasty, as long as Handan City is not in name only The flag will not be taken care of.
After walking around for a while, Wu Song took the walkie-talkie to say hello to Zhou Tong who was sitting in Qilin Village, and then left the world in the book and returned to the B&B.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu squatted by the Yellow River holding a big cake and looked at the aerial images on the monitor carefully:
“It’s wide and narrow, so it’s not easy to find a place suitable for building a bridge.”< br>
The waters here are relatively wide. Relatively speaking, there is a section of the river a few dozen miles to the west that is relatively narrow.
However, the narrow river channel can only reduce the amount of cement piles, but the actual construction difficulty will not be reduced much, because the narrow river channel means that the water is deeper and the flow is faster, which is not suitable for piling.
After searching for a long time, Lu Bu finally found a more suitable place. The width of the river was moderate. The most important thing was that the banks on both sides were relatively high. A bridge across the river bank could be built directly, so that there would be no traffic under the bridge. Delaying the boat trip means that people crossing the bridge don’t have to go up and down the hill repeatedly.
After confirming the location, he chatted with Zhang Yang about farming.
Zhang Yang had been the prefect of Hanoi and was no stranger to farming. On the first day he came to Jiuyuan, he inspected all the land that could be cultivated nearby.
Jiuyuan is located at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain. It is relatively warm and suitable for the growth of crops. However, the area on the north bank of the Yellow River is relatively small. Relatively speaking, the area on the south bank is larger and the land is more fertile.
Zhang Liao turned over the map of the real world and said:
"What is the name of DLTQ in the south? This name does not fit the style of the Han Dynasty... Wenhou, Heyin County on the south bank has been abandoned. Can we propose that the imperial court build a new county town on the south bank of the Yellow River specifically for growing crops?”
If the land on the south bank were developed, nearly 10 million acres of fertile farmland could be developed. Even if calculated based on the cultivated land area after soil erosion in later generations, there would still be more than 5 million acres of fertile farmland.
With so much land, if we don’t build a county town to reclaim it, it won’t be possible for a while.
Lu Bu thought for a while and said:
"It is no problem to establish a county, but what about the population? You can't just rob the population directly from the mainland, right? Build military camps first, and wait until there is more fertile land. Only then will the people come to join us, and then we can naturally transform the military farm into a small town, and then reorganize it into a county seat. "
The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the political power must be established step by step.
From the very beginning, we just pretended to be a county seat. There were only officials but no people. We couldn’t let the county magistrate take the lead in opening up wasteland, right?
When it comes to the efficiency of land reclamation, the common people cannot compare with the army, especially those Xiliang troops who are reclaiming wasteland in Guanzhong. When a group of people open up land in the spring, they will reclaim farmland here to plant corn, and they will definitely have a bumper harvest.
Cheng Yu is more concerned about the planting area of crops:
"Will all of them be planted into crops?"
"At most one third will be cultivated, and the rest will be built as horse farms... Didn’t I bring all the information on breeding crossbred horses? Let’s study it carefully and try to breed as many good horses as possible.”
In addition to Jiuyuan, Guangmu County, more than a hundred miles away to the west, and Wuquan County to the east, which is Hohhot in the real world, will also allocate part of their land for cultivation, and the rest will be used to raise horses.
Horses are the foundation of a country.
The reason why the Tang Dynasty grew from weak to strong was because of the implementation of the horse policy, which brought countless good horses to the country. Coincidentally, the reason why the Tang Dynasty became strong was because there were half a million cavalry in the country.
Such a scale would definitely make most small countries sing, dance and kneel down.
In addition to the Jiuyuan area, horse farms will be established in the future at the southern foot of Helan Mountain where Beidi County is located, and the South Ranch of Tianshan Mountain where the Western Region is located, and a steady stream of good horses will be cultivated.
When they reach Dawan in the future, they will immediately move all the Dawan horses to the inland and use the Dawan horses as superior breeds for cross-breeding.
With horses, the army has sufficient mobility and the possibility of conquering all directions.
Otherwise, when will we be able to reach the Mediterranean Sea with just the legs of the soldiers!
Zhang Liao flipped through the information at hand and asked:
"There are more miscellaneous animals in Shuofang. Do you want to occupy the big lake next to Woye County? I feel like we can build a hydropower station."
< br>
Lu Bu said:
"Zhan, after the hydropower station is repaired, the mines here can also be mined on a small scale... From now on, the aliens cannot be exterminated. They have to do so much physical work. "
When Cheng Yu heard this, he quickly agreed:
"I also think it would be a pity to kill him. Construction is going on everywhere now, and Bingzhou also needs a lot of manpower. Why not give them one? Opportunity, kill after finishing the work.”
Good guy, if I didn’t say the last sentence, I would have thought you had changed your gender.
But just kill them. Keeping them is a waste of food. When the fertile fields are cultivated, we will call on the people from the mainland to migrate to the border. At that time, some caring policies will also be introduced, such as making it easier to obtain official status, lower agricultural taxes, free medical care and Education and so on.
As long as the people are willing to come, anything will work.
In fact, there is no need to introduce too many policies. As long as they are not affected by the war, the people will be willing to come.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were successive wars in the Central Plains. Hundreds of thousands of people took refuge in Liaodong with their families, which gave Gongsun, the prefect of Liaodong, the illusion of seeking hegemony in the world.
Gongsun Kang's son Gongsun Yuan actively trained troops and prepared for war. He also divided the Liaodong County under his name into several counties in order to appear to have a large territory and a large population.
Although the war did not affect Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan always regarded the princes as imaginary enemies, and even put forward the slogan of dividing the world into four parts.
It's a pity that he was having fun himself, but the princes of the Central Plains didn't even look at it, and even sneered at the idea of dividing the world into four parts.
In the end, the Gongsun family on the Liaodong side made Cao Mao angry by repeatedly jumping up and down, and sent Sima Yi, the Taiwei, to conquer it. Gongsun Yuan, who was originally arrogant, thought that the opportunity for the family's rise was coming, but he was destroyed by Sima Yi. The house was full, and the heads were placed in the palace.
Sima Yi's only artistic creation was based on the materials provided by Gongsun.
After confirming the location of the bridge, Lu Bu stood up and said:
"Then start planning. Once it's done, we'll start construction. I have a lot of things to do, so I can't delay."
He looked at the selected location again, and even asked someone to test the geological strength. , the Don’t Look Back Bridge was not repaired yet, and the embankments on both sides collapsed first.
While everyone was busy, Xu Shu’s voice came from the intercom:
“To inform Marquis Wen, Ziyu and I led the reconnaissance cavalry and found Tuoba Xianbei’s tribe. They actually Hidden in the Yin Mountains, the location is relatively dangerous."
Lu Bu asked quickly:
"Did you catch the tongue?"
"Caught it. It is said that Tuoba Jiefen, who is holding the head of Tuoba Xianbei, is going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his young son to celebrate his coming of age."
Eighteen?
Isn’t it the super long standby king Tuoba Liwei?
Lü Bu asked Dian Wei who came to say goodbye:
"Lao Dian, before you leave, do you want to kill again and slaughter a few of Tuoba Xianbei's offal to add to the fun?"
Dian Wei immediately rubbed his hands:
"Kill or not? It doesn't matter, I'm just curious about the coming-of-age ceremony of the Qi tribe, and I want to go along with it."
This is very suitable for Cheng Yu's temper:
"Then let's go together, there are many gifts. I’m not surprised, I believe Tuoba Xianbei will treat us well.”
