Chapter 8 Fusu: If there is sacrifice, self-help Sushi

"As a son, I can only help you here. I hope you will know your feelings and interests, hurry up, go to Shangjun, and be your supervisor honestly. Don't give me old--don't give me any extra troubles. What's the trouble..."

Zhao Ying picked up a leg of lamb and ate it, while talking about his careless father.I was afraid that Fusu's convoy would slow down a step, and would be overtaken by Chun Yuyue or those remnants of the Six Kingdoms, causing Shi Huangdi's displeasure again.

Hey, it's better to time travel directly to become an orphan Xiang, like me, it's not easy to time travel to become someone else's son, I'm so worried about the cheap daddy.

Sigh and take a big bite.

Soon, he swept away all the food in front of everyone.

In this era, the nobles still implemented the meal sharing system.

A small table for each person, each eats his own food.

But Zhao Ying said that he didn't dislike it. Anyway, the food on the table of the other people was hardly touched, so they ate all of it, otherwise they would go back to their courtyard later, and they would have to sneak in extra meals.

Looking at the table that soon became empty, Zhao Ying couldn't help but rejoice again that he traveled to the right place, otherwise, with such a large appetite, he would really risk starving to death after traveling to an ordinary house.

Five meals a day.

He made a rough estimate, his current appetite is about one sheep a day...

That's it, not counting other coarse grains and soup.

"This boiled mutton is bland and fishy, ​​is it edible for humans—"

Practice has proved that people cannot eat enough, and when they are full, they will have too many things.

Zhao Ying cleaned the last leg of lamb and threw the bare bone back into the plate. When he looked at it again, he had a disgusted expression on his face, feeling tired and crooked in his heart, and couldn't bear it for a moment...

A few days ago, Fusu was staying at home, and he had just crossed over again, so he couldn't figure out the situation, so he didn't dare to make any changes hastily, but isn't it because Fusu has left?
The old lady in the family is a no-nonsense person, and now she is the boss of the eldest son's house!

So, don't want to wait any longer.

"Come on, follow me to the market outside..."

Seeing that it was still early, he casually called a servant beside him, and gave instructions in a deep voice.

Compared with later generations, the Qin Dynasty's market had a more detailed division of labor.There are military markets that mainly serve the army. These trading places are not open to the public and only serve the army, providing military food, weapons and military uniforms.The direct market where prices are equal, the slave market where slaves are traded, and the daily transactions of ordinary people also mostly fall into the latter two.

The markets that Zhao Ying mentioned are the latter two.

He was going to buy some seasonings to improve his meals.

Today, the most common seasonings in Daqin are salt and pepper. Of course, at this time, pepper is still a precious spice.In Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu", "the smoke is slanting and the mist is horizontal, and the pepper is burning." That pepper is what we call pepper in later generations.

After Han Gaozu Liu Bang founded the country, he built a palace for himself, mixed some prickly ash powder into the paint on the wall, and proudly gave his palace a good name of "Jiaofang Palace".

That is something that even the emperor is proud of!
It can be seen that pepper is something that ordinary people can't afford in this era.

Of course, this does not include Zhao Ying.

After all, he is the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor.

Among the spices that Zhao Ying wanted to buy today, ginger and catkins are the most common, followed by pepper and cinnamon. These are actually available in Fusu’s mansion, but Fusu’s nature is frugal, except for Mi Ji, the hostess. , it is rarely used in the house.

The reason why he wanted to go out and see for himself was actually to find the two great artifacts of stewing meat, fragrant leaves and nutmeg.

But unlike the previous spices, he didn't know this era, whether these two spices were called these two names in this era, or whether they appeared, at least he had never heard of these two spices in his predecessors. thing.

But you have to look for it.

Anyway, if there is a date or not, it can't be wrong, just in case it can be found.

……

Xianyang Palace.

Facing the food on the table, Qin Shihuang could not arouse his appetite at all, frowned, and signaled impatiently to the maid serving beside him to quickly take it away.

The maid didn't dare to breathe, she came over lightly, and brought the food back whole.

In fact, this is not the first time this has happened.

Since last year, His Majesty's diet has become very abnormal. Sometimes he can't eat a single meal a day, and even his mental and physical strength has become worse.

CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao carefully brought over the memorials that Emperor Shihuang needed to review, and placed them in the position that Emperor Shihuang was most accustomed to.

However, the First Emperor obviously did not intend to review the memorial immediately today. He got rid of the support of the maid, stood up on his knees, and glanced at Hei who was hiding in the corner.

"Where is the eldest son at this time..."

There was no emotion in the voice.

"The long pavilion outside Xianyang City..."

Hei lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Qin Shihuang's face.

When Qin Shihuang heard the words, he suddenly stopped, and looked majestically at Hei standing in the corner.

Hei has been by Emperor Shihuang's side since he was in Zhao State, and he is a well-deserved confidant of Emperor Shihuang, so he naturally knows what Emperor Shihuang means.

He sighed secretly in his heart.

"The remnants of the Six Kingdoms and Chun Yuyue and others chased you off to see you off. At this time, Chun Yuyue was leading a group of Confucian students to see you off..."

"What did he tell them..."

The first emperor turned his face sideways, and Hei couldn't see the expression on his face at this time, he could only see the still tall back of the first emperor, under the sun, still full of a strong sense of oppression, so he didn't dare to take a second look in his heart.

"Young Master said, he doesn't regret it..."

Qin Shihuang couldn't help shaking his body, clenched his fists suddenly, a fishy and sweet breath suddenly rushed to his throat, he couldn't help coughing lightly, raised his palm, and calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Stand silent for a long time.

It wasn't until the dizziness gradually dissipated that he said calmly.

"I know..."

Holding on to a few desks, the gray-haired Shi Huang's eyes gradually turned cold.

"According to my will, Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng and all other sorcerers involved in the case will be murdered outside Xianyang City! Dr. Chunyu Yue—"

Shi Huang paused for a moment, speaking coldly.

"The eldest son of the professor has neglected his duties. From now on, he will be expelled from Xianyang, and he will never return—"

Although it was only expelled from Xianyang, it was a signal.

The first emperor personally released the signal!

As the contemporary soul leader of Confucianism, Chun Yuyue has almost become the wind vane of Confucianism in the imperial court. His departure or stay will inevitably cause an earthquake among many students.

Hei and CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao bowed to accept the order, walked out of the house backwards, and then turned and left with cold expressions. From the beginning to the end, they didn't exchange a word, just looked at each other.

In the evening of that day, Emperor Shihuang had no appetite, and refused to eat again, and only drank a few sips of soup.

Finally, Xia Houqie, the personal imperial physician, entered the palace and prescribed a decoction for the first emperor. When he came out, there was a hint of worry in his expression.
