Destiny Only Han

Chapter 276 Liu Ying: Mother, Han Xin bullied me!

In a mansion in Yeyi City, the lamps are like torches, and two rows of coolly dressed young ladies step on the ground and sing.

"There is Jiayu in the south, and it is full of steam. Gentlemen have wine, and guests are like Yan Yile..."

"There are Jiayu in the south, and Shanshan is full of steam. Gentlemen have wine, and guest-style swallows..."

"In the south there is a sycamore tree, and the sweet gourd is tired of it. A gentleman has wine, and the guest is like Yan Sui..."

"The elegant person is full of thoughts, and he comes to think. A gentleman has wine, and a guest-style swallow thinks again..."

Today's dinner was held under Liu Ying's "disregarding previous suspicions" and Yeyi Tian's intentional flattery.

Although the Yeyitian family is the landlord, Han Xin is the king of Qi, so he naturally takes the seat.

On his left, Liu Ying sat halfway up from him.

And farther away, although the dance music of the ladies and sisters is very elegant, and their waists are soft and white, the people attending the banquet have no time to care about them.

In the hall at this moment, the sound of gossip and hazel is everywhere.

Even those descendants of the Yeyitian family who claimed to be rich and honored for hundreds of years were not flattered by their appearance.

Without him, the sea intestine powder that Liu Ying picked up in the sea before was ready.

So the cooks for Zhang Luo's banquet today are all his own people brought from Linzi, who are proficient in frying, stewing and cooking.

When the food came out of the pan, a small spoonful of sea intestine powder immediately raised the taste to a level that no one could resist!

Fresh, really fresh!

At this time, people's tongues are not eroded by heavy oil, salt and spicy, so they can be keenly aware of slight differences in dishes.

"Hmph, look at that promise!"

Liu Ying curled her lips, took out a bamboo jar from the small cloth bag at her waist, opened the lid, and poured the powder inside onto the spoon.

Here is the last bit of pepper in stock.

Liu Ying doesn't like to eat big fish and meat before going to bed at night, so today's dinner is a bowl of wontons stuffed with shrimp.

Although there is no sesame oil or pickled mustard, there are seaweed and green onion, and the shrimps are firm and elastic, which is refreshing every bite!

As for his actions of flipping bamboo pots and dumping pepper powder, he is doing as the Romans do.

Well, into the vulgarity of later generations.

As we all know, in the wonton restaurants in Shandong, pepper is free of charge...

As the breeze blew by, Han Xin couldn't help but sneezed, and looked at Liu Ying with resentment.

At night, he also doesn't like big fish and big meat, so his choice, like Liu Ying, is a bowl of fresh shrimp wonton.

It's just that when he asked Liu Ying for pepper powder, Liu Ying swore that it was gone...

Now, what the hell is this pungent and gluttonous smell!

Liu Ying covered the bamboo jar with a nonchalant face, and when Han Xin thought he would pass the pepper over, she saw Liu Ying slowly put the bamboo jar back into her pocket, and immediately took a sip of the bamboo jar with the bowl in her hand.

"Cool!"

Han Xin: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

After teasing Han Xin for a while, Liu Ying took out the bamboo pot from her waist again and threw it over: "Save some food, that's all I have left!"

Han Xin's anger turned into joy, and he was stunned for a moment: "No more, just let Guanzhong send it away? Why worry..."

You are eating light grass ashes and farting lightly... Liu Ying complained in her heart, looked at Han Xin and said, "This thing can't be grown in Guanzhong, it is a specialty from Lingnan. Before the fire in Xianyang that day, I bought it from the kitchen of Qin Palace found it!"

Hearing that it was a specialty of Lingnan, Han Xin shook his head regretfully.

People have a tendency to self-abuse. Many kinds of spices that are loved by humans are actually poisonous substances that plants have desperately evolved.

Most animals in nature avoid it, only the two-legged beasts flock to it...

Under Liu Ying's distressed eyes, Han Xin poured out a large spoonful, and then threw back the almost empty bamboo jar.

Liu Ying: In short, I regret it very much!
Han Xin smiled indifferently. In his opinion, as long as he knows the place of origin, there will always be a day when he can eat it openly.

After Xiang Yu is settled, if Zhao Tuo, who ruled south of the Five Ridges, doesn't know how to flatter him, he doesn't mind leading his troops south.

In fact, the land of Lingnan was not created by the Qin State, nor was it always independent of the Central Plains.

As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the Yue tribe in the south of the Lingnan came to see the King of Shang as Fang Guo, that is, a vassal state.

After Zhou destroyed Shang, Yue people still surrendered.

After the rise of the Chu State blocked the way for the Yue people to go north to pay homage to the Emperor Zhou, the Yue people surrendered to the Chu State again.

It's just that whether it was the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty, or even the later Chu State, most of Lingnan was ruled by Jimi. As long as you hand in some local products on time, you can come to the king's capital to meet.

But Qin State is different. In line with the principle of "wherever there are people, there will be all subjects".

Many marketing accounts in later generations said that there were hundreds of thousands of troops in Daqin in Lingnan, which is obviously nonsense.

There are tens of thousands of people, but compared with the Qin people who came from the north, the Yue people who were born and raised in Lingnan for thousands of years are probably in the millions!

Surrounded by a pack of wolves, Zhao Tuo's ability to retreat and protect himself is already full of operations, and he wants to go north to support Qin?

Wash and sleep, there is everything in the dream!

And the most important thing is that going to Lingnan is a miscellaneous army mainly consisting of sons-in-law and small traders. Even if they come back, they will probably melt on the battlefield in an instant.

After all, at this time, there was Xiang Yu in the front and Han Xin in the back.

Zhao Tuo?

What kind of onion is he!
However, although Liu Ying despised Zhao Tuo tactically, she paid special attention to Zhao Tuo strategically.

For this reason, he promised Liu Bang a lot of benefits, and drew Lu Jiahua, who had nothing to do because Liu Taigong Lu Zhi lived in Liyang, and brought the business group to South Vietnam.

Well, in the original timeline, Lu Jia should have arrived at the Chu army camp at this time, making efforts to welcome Liu Taigong and Lu Zhi back.

Similarly, the person who persuaded Zhao Tuo to submit to the Han Dynasty was also Lu Jia.

Therefore, Lu Jia's mission this time should be to pinch the snail with three fingers, and it will be sure.

Although the Han Kingdom was not unified at this time, it was not as powerful as it was in later generations.

But Liu Ying's request is for business rather than surrender.

The people of Qin, who have been living alone in the south of the Five Ridges for many years, think that they miss the products of their hometown very much.

In particular, under Liu Ying's tossing, there are many good things in the Han Kingdom that they have never seen or imagined.

Like a folding fan.

So at this moment, Lu Jia, who was strolling in the market in the afterglow of the sky, became the most beautiful boy in the crowd...

Although Lu Jia is a little older, he has a poetic spirit in his stomach.

Especially the way he gently shakes the folding fan looks so personable that many Yue women who go to the city to sell souvenirs want to knock him out and drag him back to be a second wife...

Well, the Yue people don't understand Zhou etiquette, there is a marriage system, and it is common for women to work and support men.

Therefore, this is also the reason why those son-in-laws among the Qin people are willing to stay here.

Although Lingnan is damp and humble, it is a paradise in the soft rice world!

There is a saying in later generations that the heart of the farmer is like soup, and the son and grandson shake the fan.

But at this moment, Lu Jia didn't know his heart, his whole body was like soup...

Not long ago, where he lived in Guanzhong, there was still snow left on the forest land in the mountains, and he needed to wear thick furs sooner or later.

Today's Panyu City is so good, he wished he could peel off a layer of skin...

Therefore, Liu Ying's words that fooled him sounded so good at the beginning, but now she regrets it!

Behind him, besides the two soldiers of the Han army, there were several local porters.

Zhao Tuo went to Xiang County next door to build relationships with the local Yue people, so Lu Jia, the envoy, had to stay in Panyu City.

It was too hot during the day, neither Lu Jia nor the locals would go out. Only at this time did the shops open in the market and the crowds flowed like weaving.

From this point of view, Zhao Tuo managed Lingnan well.

However, the immigrants in the Lingnan land, because there are not many craftsmen, the productivity here is not high. After the tools brought from the Central Plains are damaged, it is almost impossible to repair and replace them with new ones.

Especially the lack of smelting and mining technology makes the current market basically barter.

But it is precisely because of this that the exchange of glass balls for pearls can really happen in front of Lu Jia!
Although pearls are valuable, they are fished out of the sea after all. As long as you can hold your breath, avoid sharks, and a little bit of luck, you can have as many as you want.

But the glass ball is different.

This kind of industrial product can't be made without the corresponding technology, it just can't be made!
While Lu Jia was stunned, the Yueren who communicated with him by gestures grabbed the two glass balls in Lu Jia's hand, dropped two pearls the size of pigeon eggs, and ran away.

The samurai following Lu Jia was furious, and was about to draw his sword to chase, but was stopped by Lu Jia.

Liu Bang admired a house in Lu Jia before. When Liu Ying's Leek Cutting 2.0 plan was born, the windows of his house changed from wooden shutters to glass.

So he understands the value of the glass, and he definitely earned it by being able to exchange for these few pearls worth at least a hundred thousand dollars!
In this wave, both buyers and sellers feel that they are taking advantage...

Well, that's the fun part of bartering.

During the subsequent shopping, Lu Jia, who was labeled as a fat sheep by the locals, suddenly became a presence that everyone welcomed.

So, he exchanged several glass balls for a lot of precious stones of various colors, as well as hawksbill corals and other good things that are rare in the Central Plains.

As a result, the number of porters increased by two more...

At dusk, he finally discovered a commodity that Liu Yingqian had ordered ten thousand times.

black pepper.

In front of a dark-skinned Yueman's stall, pepper was left in the corner. He mainly sells wood such as red sandalwood and agarwood.

Therefore, Lu Jia, who knew that once he opened his mouth, he would be slaughtered as a fat sheep, seemed to inadvertently select a few pieces of golden nanmu, and then, as if feeling that he was at a loss, he put those pieces of wood that were connected to the branches in the corner. The pepper is all in the bag.

The market dispersed, and the Yueren boy happily walked out of the city with a glass ball in his arms.

All of a sudden, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

In a daze, he seemed to see the fat sheep walking towards him slowly.

"Despicable, Central Plains people..."
