Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 137 The Origin of Cold Cuisine Fire Barrel

However, even if Cao Cao and others move their index fingers, they still know their identities and cannot move their chopsticks first.

Therefore, everyone present glanced at Liu Bian in unison.

——Look, look what I do?
Liu Bian didn't squint, but he felt a little embarrassed: What kind of experience is it to be paid attention to by eyes from all directions? Now Liu Bian has seen it...it's particularly stressful.

However, no matter how stressful you are, you have to hold on!

Without changing his expression, Liu Bian said: "Is this the cuisine of Nanpi County? How interesting? It looks like southern side dishes? I thought I could see roasted suckling pig and roasted mutton?"

The last sentence was purely a casual remark by Liu Bian.

Unexpectedly, when Hu Amei brought the fifth dish, "Boiled Gansuzi", she responded: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that the roasted suckling pig and roasted lamb you mentioned are all available!"

Huh?
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment, then smiled friendly at Hu Amei.

Hu A-mei hid her smile and said, "There are three more dishes...these are appetizers. Gentlemen, please satisfy your appetite first."

After saying that, Hu Amei ran to serve the dishes again.

Liu Bian glanced at the "boiled dry rice" out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly realized that " dry rice"... wasn't it just "peanuts"?

Strangely, he glanced at "Gan Sui Zi" twice.

Attracting the attention of Cao Cao and others.

Cao Cao said: "My lord, what's the matter with Gan Suizi?"

Liu Bian shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I'm just surprised. This reminds me of the geography book "Sanfu Huangtu" of the Western Han Dynasty, which seems to record "Qian Suizi"..."

"Oh?" Cao Cao opened his mouth and boasted, "I have never seen this book! As expected of my lord, he is indeed well-informed!"

Hearing Cao Cao's praise, Liu Bian thought to himself with shame: No, no... Then, he heard Cao Cao ask with great interest: "May I ask my lord, how does "Qian Sui Zi" be recorded in that book? ? "

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bianhu grimaced and recalled with difficulty - "It is sweet, mild, warm, and non-toxic. Can it be taken orally to stop bleeding?" He replied in a provocative manner, and then stared at Cao Cao.

"No poison? Stop bleeding?" Cao Cao opened his mouth and closed it again.

Liu Bian said awkwardly: "It's been too long, I can't remember it clearly. I'll go over it again..."

Before the word "once" could be heard, Liu Bian stopped talking.

Revisit it, where to revisit it? ——Luoyang?

It's a pity that he is in Bohai County, which is more than thousands of miles away from Luoyang City.

At the right time, Liu Bian showed a hint of sadness.

Cao Cao was secretly annoyed.

Fortunately, this gloomy atmosphere did not last long.

"The sixth dish!" At this moment, Hu Amei's voice sounded, "——I feel beautiful!"

Suddenly, the sixth dish was placed on the table, and Liu Bian looked at it and almost laughed out loud: Isn't this dish a radish?
It was cut directly onto the plate and cut into chunks. It looked quite sweet.

"The seventh dish - hot and sour black fungus!" Hu Amei served dishes one after another, "The eighth dish: cold celery! The ninth dish: a pot of soup cake!"

Soup cake?

Liu Bian's eyes lit up: Is there finally a hot dish?

However, he found that the soup cake was not as steaming as he imagined, but still cold. The difference was that the soup cake was like noodles, but without adding water, similar to cold noodles.

Liu Bian: "..."

Whatever!It’s pretty good…it’s all delicious food anyway!
so good!It had only been a month since we last saw each other, but there were so many delicious food in Nanpi County, which made Liu Bian’s eyes shine——

Looking at the other table, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and the younger soldiers all swallowed their saliva exaggeratedly, forcibly suppressing their greed, and were about to start!

Seeing this, Liu Bian said: "Everyone, there is no need to be formal. It is a rare visit to a wine shop. Please have a drink!"

After saying this, Liu Bian took the lead in picking up a piece of salted duck, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

With Liu Bian's start, everyone dared to pick up chopsticks and taste the food.

During this period, everyone toasted to each other, complimented each other, and gradually let go.

With Ju Shou as the intermediary, Ju Shou introduced Cao Cao and others for Tian Feng. It was necessary for Tian Feng to get acquainted with Cao Cao and others quickly. It was because Tian Feng had accompanied Liu Bian to Youzhou to support him, so Tian Feng even missed the meeting with Bohai County. contacts and interactions with officials and talented people.

As Liu Bian thought, Tian Feng also knew a little about poetry, and he was quite speculative with Cao Cao and others.

Especially Cao Cao, who admired Tian Feng the most.Cao Cao had a very happy conversation with Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

The five wise men ate and drank quietly.

As for Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan who came incidentally, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't want to bother.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu originally thought that Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan were just small businessmen. Even if they were wealthy businessmen, righteous businessmen, or official businessmen, they were all traders!They couldn't get rid of the essence of being a merchant... until Shi Yue accidentally mentioned that Zhuge Gui was the magistrate of Taishan County - now, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were finally willing to give face to Zhuge Gui and look at Zhuge Gui more!

Then, Zhuge Gui, Zhuge Xuan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Shi Yue were also able to communicate.

It's a pity that Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan never forget their mission - to buy a "fire bucket" from Shi Yue... This made Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu a little unhappy, but they also felt that Zhuge Gui and Zhuge Xuan's talents were mediocre, so that was it.

Speaking of "fire barrel"... Liu Bian turned his head and asked curiously: "Magistrate Shi, is the "fire barrel" what you are thinking of? "

Shi Yue was suddenly pointed out. He was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yes and no."

"How do you say that?"

Shi Yue turned his gaze to Cui Yan, Guoyuan and Sun Qian who were silent, and said: "I didn't think of the "Fire Barrel" alone, but Ji Gui, Zini and Gongyou helped me to refer to it. of.

It’s a long story—”

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Bian looked like he was all ears.

Shi Yue said: "Before, our Nanpi County craftsmen finally figured out how to make the fire kang. Later, Ji Gui, Zini and Gongyou came one after another. After learning about the use of the "fire kang", they praised it.

At the same time, Ji Gui thought that since the bed could be used as a "fire bed", could he make a portable "fire bed"?

After all, the "fire kang" can only be used under the couch. What if someone is outside and can't get home?

So Zini suggested getting a lighter "fire kang".

We researched for several days, and Gongyou came up with the "brazier" - a brazier is a basin that holds firewood and coal. It can also be used for heating or drying clothes, and it is made of soil... We thought it was too demanding, Keep improving.

In the end, it took us a long time to improve and finally we had the "fire barrel"!
Therefore, the finished product of "Fire Bucket" was not made by me alone, but with everyone's help! "

After saying that, Shi Yue raised his cup and toasted to Cui Yan, Guoyuan and Sun Qian with emotion.

Cui Yan, Guoyuan and Sun Qian also responded quickly.

Both sides looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone ate and drank, and after a while they were sixty percent full. Then they saw Hu Amei coming again, and she and two male waiters were carrying a big pot together——

Liu Bian was startled for a moment, and when he was about to stand up, Cao Cao held him down.

"Your Highness, don't be anxious." After Cao Cao appeased Liu Bian, he pointed to an open space and said, "Put the big pot over there!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Bian saw that there was no carpet in the open space not far away, and there were some pot ashes around it.

It's obvious that it's often used for barbecues?
Sure enough, Hu Amei shouted "Be careful, be careful, don't spill the soup" while she and the waiter moved the big pot, set it up, put in firewood, and lit the fire to keep the big pot in a heated state.

Finally, Hu Amei glanced at the two waiters.

As a result, the two waiters took away all the empty dishes on the table.

Hu Amei explained with her strokes: "Make room at the table and put the roast lamb on it!"

Hu Amei trotted and left temporarily.

"Ah? - There's more?!" On the side of the soldiers, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan couldn't help but hiccup, losing their image. "Eat, what should I do when I'm full?"

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi happened to be sitting next to these two people. After hearing this, they moved their chairs silently, trying to get away from these two guys - these two guys were embarrassing to all the soldiers - I mean, you are full when you are full. That’s it!Is it okay to pretend to drink?Why bother to say it?

Are you full and we are not full?

scare!
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi turned away one after another, not wanting to talk to Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan.

But he didn't realize his own move at all, and it was childish and ridiculous.

It was in sharp contrast to Cao Ang, who was silent on the opposite side.

After seeing this, Yuan Shao's cheeks heated up and he glanced at Cao Cao subtly.

However, Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang with worried eyes, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

"——Here it comes! Here it comes!" At the same time, Hu Amei's cheerful voice sounded, as if she was waiting for this moment, "Two ready-made fat lambs, please cook and taste them yourself!"

After saying that, Hu Amei and a waiter each brought a lot of things: a piece of wire mesh for ventilation, a small brazier, and the plump mutton had been cut into pieces and placed in a big basket...
