Taoist temple that will cross

Chapter 50 Persuading Xiang Liang (Revised)

"Ogawa"

Xiang Yu hurriedly supported him.

"Put this talisman in his mouth"

Cao Yi came over, took out a healing talisman, and handed it to Xiang Yu.

"Sir, it's you"

Xiang Yu is not an idiot, and after a little thought, he can understand that Yi Xiaochuan's sudden becoming so powerful has something to do with the person in front of him.

"Um"

Cao Yi did not deny it.

Xiang Yu felt sad for a while.

noon.

Cao Yi ushered in the first lunch prepared by locals in the Qin Dynasty.

This is an ancient hall that is not too big, and it is cleaned very clean.

Sitting north and facing south, there is a smooth red lacquer table on the side, and Xiang Liang, who is full of spring, is kneeling behind him.

On the first table on the left, Cao Yi is kneeling, and the second and third are Xiang Yu and Yi Xiaochuan.

There are strong women coming in with things.

The first thing that caught Cao Yi's eyes was the millet rice served in an unnamed bronze vessel. From the perspective of complete color, fragrance and taste, 10 points is too much.

The second one is hot cabbage.In modern times, only those who lose weight will eat it.By the way, in this era, it is not called cabbage, it is called Siong, and this dish should be called Tang Siong.

The third one, stewed dog meat, is a burst of fragrance from a long distance away.It is normal in this day and age to be blamed by dog ​​lovers.Fan Kuai, the most famous dog meat butcher in history, belonged to this era.However, you can't eat it, because there are four kinds of meat, you can't eat dog, cow, swan goose, and mullet.

The fourth, stewed lamb, has a faint smell of mutton.

The fifth is a steaming sea bass, which is the best in the meal from the perspective of appearance.

The sixth is wine.

Looking at the food, the life of the nobles in the Qin Dynasty was not as good as that of a modern person with a middle income.

"Is the Taoist priest surprised that there is no pork?"

Yi Xiaochuan's voice came.

"Not surprisingly"

Cao Yi shook his head.

When he came, he checked the information.Pork, which is often eaten by modern people, has a strong smell, and few people eat it in this era.

There is a passage about Goujian in "Guoyu·Yueyu": "For a husband, two pots of wine, and a dog; for a woman, two pots of wine, and a dolphin."

Translated into modern words, if you give birth to a son, you will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a dog; if you have a daughter, you will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a pig.

It reflects the low status of pigs in ancient Chinese food recipes.

"Sir, please"

Xiang Liang's voice sounded.

Cao Yi turned his head and saw that Xiang Liang was holding the wine jue, holding the sleeve with one hand and picking up the jue in front of him with the other. The wine was like water in his mouth.

Xiang Liang saw that Cao Yi drank it all in one gulp, and praised: "This is a good wine from Liang's collection. It is famous for its strength. Mister drank it in one gulp without changing his face. It is really a huge amount."

Known for being strong?

Cao Yi put down Jue and licked his tongue, feeling nothing at all.

Turning his head, he saw Xiang Yu's face full of admiration, like a college student who just debuted in modern times and saw his boss drink half a bottle of 50-degree liquor in one gulp.

How bad is the drinking capacity of the Qin Dynasty people?
"Daozhang, you have a good drinker!"

Yi Xiaochuan poked his head out, stuck out his tongue, his cheeks were slightly red.

Could it be that Pindao's drinking capacity is too good?
Cao Yi doubted himself a little.

A strong woman came over with the jar in her arms and refilled it.

"Yu'er, you still haven't toasted Mr."

Xiang Liang's voice came again.

Xiang Yu picked up the jue, knelt up straight, and said: "Yu destroyed Mr. Taoyuan in a moment of recklessness, and was rescued by Mr. later, I am very grateful."

Cao Yi picked up the jue, replied politely, and drank it down again.

The corner of Xiang Yu's mouth twitched, he hesitated for two seconds, drank a jug of wine, and immediately coughed.

Cough cough, so the overlord Chu's drinking capacity is so bad?

Xiang Yu's heroic image in Cao Yi's heart suddenly collapsed.

"Alcohol is a taboo for martial arts practitioners, Yu rarely drinks alcohol."

Xiang Yu wiped the drink from his mouth with his sleeve, looking a little embarrassed.

Hearing Xiang Yu's explanation, Cao Yi realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

A real martial arts practitioner should have all kinds of requirements on himself like an excellent football player, and it is impossible to drink as much alcohol as in novels and movies.

"However, today Yu will make an exception."

As Xiang Yu said, he poured himself another serving.

He picked it up, turned around, and said to Yi Xiaochuan with a sad expression: "Xiaochuan, we will see each other tomorrow, and I don't know when we will see each other again. This wine should be practiced."

Yi Xiaochuan was infected, picked up the jue full of wine, straightened up, his eyes were red: "Brother Yu, thanks to you and the master for taking care of me this year, I, a person living in a foreign land, will not be homeless." return."

Xiang Yu was even more saddened by Yi Xiaochuan's words, and sighed: "I really don't want to say goodbye to you so quickly. It seems like yesterday to rob the court and retreat from the centurion."

"Me too, but I really want to"

Before Yi Xiaochuan finished speaking, he was already choking up.

"You don't have to separate"

A fluttering voice sounded.

Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Yu, who were about to cry in their arms, froze and turned their heads to look over.

"You can go north together"

Cao Yi said with a smile.

Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Yu's eyes lit up at the same time, but they quickly dimmed. The master (uncle) would not agree.

"how?"

Cao Yi looked at these two good friends who suddenly looked like deflated balls in doubt.

At this moment, a soft cough sounded.

Cao Yi turned his head to look at Xiang Liang, and immediately understood that the two were afraid that this guy would disagree.

In this family, Xiang Liang is the sky, and no one can disobey his words.

"Sir, Yu'er still has a lot of things to do."

Xiang Liang forced a smile on his face.

If it wasn't Cao Yi who proposed to let Xiang Yu go north together, but someone else, he would have lost his face.

After finally cultivating one, he ran away and asked him to build another one. Do you think Xiang Liang is stupider than a pig?
"That's a bad word"

Cao Yi shook his head slightly.

Xiang Liang clenched the fist in his sleeve and then let go, and continued to smile: "I would like to hear more about it."

Cao Yi picked up a jug of wine on the table, and drank it like water to quench his thirst.

Xiang Liang felt a pain in his heart.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a founding king who worked hard all his life, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."

When Cao Yi said this, he stopped.

“Wouldn't it be nice”

Xiang Liang was puzzled.

"The bad thing is that this monarch is too able to live. He lived to be more than 70 years old and survived his life to death his elder son who was also wise."

Cao Yi stopped again.

"It's not that simple, there are heirs and heirs, and no heirs and elders"

Xiang Liang, whose patriarchal system is deeply rooted in his bones, blurted out.

"At that time, a minister also said the same thing. The old monarch accepted the proposal and appointed his grandson as his heir. He was also worried that his grandson would be too young to suppress the arrogant warrior, so he cruelly killed most of the arrogant warrior."

Cao Yi stopped for the third time.

"Although it is for the sake of the country, there are too many killings. In case of war, who will lead the army to defend against the enemy? The old monarch can still support it because of his prestige. Once the old monarch is gone, his young grandson , It is simply impossible to resist the wolves and hungry tigers from home and abroad."

Xiang Liang said a lot with a pessimistic expression.

"After careful consideration, the old monarch sent more than 20 sons to the border to take charge of the troops."

Cao Yi stopped again.

"Use your own sons to lead the army! Even if the meat is rotten, it will rot in the same pot. This old monarch is really well-intentioned."

Xiang Liang sighed.

Even if it was replaced by him, it couldn't be done better.
