Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 195
On New Year's Eve, the city of Beihai is decorated with lanterns and festoons.Although Beihai experienced wars this year, fortunately, it was already past the harvest season when Chang Xi attacked Beihai, so the common people did not suffer too much loss, and they still had a lot of grain in their hands.

Now Zhang De can be regarded as a small foundation. Speaking of it, Zhang De has not had a good New Year since he came to the Three Kingdoms era.In the first year, Zhang De had just traveled through time. In the second year, he encountered the Yellow Turban Uprising, and he did not return home until the end of the year. In the next few years, although Zhang De was in Beihai, there was nothing to do in Beihai at that time. At that time, Zhang De did not What are you thinking about celebrating the new year.

But this year is different, Zhang De has already married and started a business, and the father-in-law and his family are all around, so Zhang De naturally wants to entertain them well.So Zhang De decided to enjoy the atmosphere of the New Year.

Early in the morning, Zhang De got up, and the commander ordered his servants to knead the noodles and make the meat stuffing, while he skillfully rolled the dumpling wrappers with a rolling pin.

Although the servants didn't know what Zhang De was doing, after all, Zhang De was the head of the family and held a high position, so none of the servants dared to ask.

On the other hand, Cao Chun was very disdainful of Zhang De's behavior.The so-called "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", Zhang De is a prince at any rate, he is in a high position, but he cooks himself, which makes Cao Chun look down on Zhang De, at least Cao Cao has never been in the kitchen.

The allusion of "a gentleman far away from the kitchen" comes from "Mencius", but this original sentence comes from "Notes". Stay away from the kitchen, and don't kill any fleshy things with your own hands.Mencius' original intention was to promote "benevolent government", but it was misunderstood by later generations as a "lower class" occupation for chefs.

"Uncle, look at this Zhang De, how does he look like a prince, he actually goes to the kitchen in person! A good man should fight on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, look at this Zhang De, how can such a great thing be achieved!" At this time Cao Chun said to his sister Cao Qian Qian was quite puzzled to marry such a "wretch", so she came to Cao Song to complain.

Cao Song was taken aback for a moment, and then calmed down. Back then, he chose Zhang De to be his son-in-law, except that Zhang De was a vassal, and he was well-connected with his family, and Zhang De was not as old as other vassals. Zhang De's appearance is also quite handsome, and his daughter's marriage to him is not considered an insult to her daughter Cao Qian.

A few days ago, Zhang De attacked Xuzhou and suppressed Changxi. In Cao Song's opinion, this son-in-law was pretty good, but what he did today made Cao Song feel uncomfortable. I went to the kitchen. Although Zhang De may be happy because today is New Year's Eve, but this is a bit too much.

"Come on, call your wife!" Cao Song said to his servants.The "your wife" Cao Song said was of course Zhang De's wife Cao Qian.

"Go back to my lord, Madam is in the kitchen, with Master!" The servant replied.

Cao Qian and Zhang De went to the kitchen together!Cao Song was a little surprised and a little angry at the same time.No matter what Cao Qian said, she was also from a rich family, and the whole family doted on her, so she never went to the kitchen.Cao Song actually ran into the kitchen today, which made Cao Song feel a little distressed, how could his daughter do those rough jobs!

Thinking of this, Cao Song snorted coldly, and ran towards the kitchen with Cao Chun.

In the kitchen, Zhang De and Cao Qian were kissing each other, and Zhang De was teaching Cao Qian how to make dumplings.Dumplings originated from the "Jiaoer" in the Three Kingdoms period. It is said that Zhang Zhongjing invented it when he was the prefect of Changsha. It was first used to drive the common people away from cold and cure diseases.It's just that "Jiaoer" is only spread around Changsha, but it has not spread in other places.

"Husband, what is this thing? Is it really delicious?" Cao Qian was hugging Zhang De's arms, and Zhang De was teaching Cao Qian to roll the dumpling wrappers.

"This is called dumplings. I used to eat this during Chinese New Year!" Zhang De looked at the dumplings on the table nostalgic. He had been in the Three Kingdoms for several years, and this was the first time Zhang De made dumplings.

After all, Cao Qian is still a teenage girl. Although she is married, she still has a child's curiosity in her bones. Seeing Zhang De making this weird thing called "dumplings", Cao Qian is of course very happy in her heart. curious.However, Cao Qian is a young lady and has never done any housework, so she got flour all over her face in a while.

The hot dumplings came out of the pot very quickly, Cao Qian couldn't wait to taste it, but she accidentally burned her mouth, Zhang De took the dumplings from Cao Qian's hands pitifully, and blew them for a long time before feeding them to Cao Qian .Although the dumplings made by Zhang De cannot be said to be of a master's level, Cao Qian, who has never eaten dumplings before, is extremely delicious. Cao Qian exclaimed: "Ah, it's delicious!"

Cao Song outside the door saw everything just now. Originally, Cao Song wanted to teach his son-in-law a lesson, but when he saw Zhang De feeding his daughter dumplings just now, Cao Song hesitated, and finally sighed. Tone, turned and left.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. No matter what, at least this Zhang De is good to his daughter, and there is no need for him to destroy the sweet atmosphere of the young couple! For the sake of his daughter, let this boy be spared this time." !" Cao Song thought in his heart.

That night, of course, everyone ate dumplings. The old man was full of praise for the freshness of dumplings, and Cao Chun ate several plates regardless of his manners. He didn't look like a rich man at all. The family spent happily It's New Year's Eve.

The time soon came to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. On this day, it was rare for Zhang De to sleep late, but he was woken up by his servant. important things!"

As soon as Zhang De heard that Chen Gong was coming, he didn't dare to neglect, and got up immediately.Chen Gong chose this time to come to Zhang De, presumably because of important matters.So Zhang De got dressed as quickly as possible, washed up, and went to see Chen Gong.

When Zhang De met Chen Gong, he was not polite, and asked directly: "Sir, what's the matter?"

"My lord, please forgive Chen Gong for interrupting! But this matter is very important and needs to be decided by the lord himself, so the palace has no choice but to come. There are people from Xiapi!"

"Someone is coming from Xiapi, who is it?"

"Reporting to my lord, the person who came this time is Tao Qian's subordinate, his surname is Mi and his name is Zhu, he said he was ordered by Tao Qian to come to see the lord, originally Mi Zhu arrived yesterday evening, but Gong Xian arranged for him to rest at the posthouse! "
