Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191 [Sihui tribute mandarin oranges, sweeten the hearts of beauties]

"Come and sit next to me, there is still something to finish writing soon, wait for me for a while." Lu Bu looked up at Diao Chan, and said standing up.

Diao Chan put the fruit basket by the table, found a chair from the side, put it gently next to Lu Bu, and sat down.

Leaning on his side, leaning on the chair, looking at Lu Bu with bright eyes, he said kindly, "General, you are busy, Diao Chan is not afraid to wait, it will be worth waiting any time."

Lu Bu was too focused and didn't pay much attention to Diao Chan's words. He just nodded and continued writing.

He stared at Lu Bu intently, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to take out an orange from the basket, peeled the fruit and prepared it for Lu Bu.

In this way, Lu Bu concentrated on his work, while Diao Chan who was beside him was fascinated by him, and at the same time peeled the citrus.

After about half of the incense stick, Lu Bu finally put down his pen and stretched out his hands inadvertently.
"what"

Suddenly, Diao Chan reflexively called out, her face turned crimson, and she looked at Lu Bu in surprise, shyness and panic.

"This"

When Lu Bu stretched out his hand, he felt something soft, and when he heard Diao Chan yell suddenly, he looked back, and his eyes fell directly on his arm and Diao Chan's chest!

Immediately, Lu Bu also blushed, and hastily withdrew his hand reluctantly, apologizing with embarrassment: "That, that, it was really an accident, an accident."

Then, he smiled silly, like a child who did something wrong.

Seeing Lu Bu like this, Diao Chan's embarrassment disappeared, and she almost laughed, covering her small mouth, handed a peeled tangerine to Lu Bu with the other hand, and whispered: "Diao Chan knows that the general didn't do it on purpose, so I don't blame the general. "

"Diao Chan, you are really understanding." Lu Bu took the citrus in embarrassment and ate it in one gulp.

"Mmm, what a sweet citrus! Juicy, crisp and tender, refreshing and slag-melting, sweet but not sour, with a unique flavor."

Even before crossing, Lu Bu had never eaten such delicious citrus.

"Really?" Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu's expression, which made her curious about the orange.

Lu Bu took one from the basket, peeled off the peel, the peel was golden yellow and very thin, he peeled one and handed it to Diao Chan: "Did you taste it before?"

Diao Chan nodded, took the citrus that Lu Bu had peeled for her, and with a happy smile on her face, she replied sweetly: "I heard from Xiao Taohong that she took it from Butler Luo, who said it was just delivered today. Here, General Gao Shun ordered someone to send them directly to the General's Mansion, several cartloads of these oranges."

"I saw that it was quite fresh, so I sent some to the general. Besides, I was afraid of sourness, so I didn't dare to eat it"

However, Lu Bu peeled the citrus for her, and Diao Chan tried to taste a small half of it.

"How about it, I didn't lie to you, it's so sweet and not sour, it's delicious, right? I've never eaten such citrus before."

Lu Bu took another orange and began to peel the fruit.

This citrus was discovered by Gao Shun in a township in Sihui County. He did not expect the taste to be surprisingly good.

And it was at the late stage of the citrus ripening, so Gao Shun ordered people to spend money to buy several trucks and send them to the General's Mansion.

In modern times, this kind of citrus is called [Sihui Gonggan] or [Emperor Tangerine].

The crown of the citrus is round, compact, semi-open, medium-sized, thin and hard branches, with short thorns; the fruit is oblate or spherical, medium in size, and the weight of a single fruit is 130-140 grams. The peel is smooth and the color is orange-yellow before it is fully mature. , Orange yellow when fully matured, crisp and tender skin, soft juice sacs, rich in liquid after fully matured and stored, moderate sweet and sour, with a clear fragrance.

The fruit shape is beautiful, the skin color is orange-yellow to orange-red, the skin is thin and juicy, the flesh is crisp and tender, refreshing and slag, sweet and low-acid, unique flavor.

Moreover, this kind of citrus is famous for its thin skin and juicy, thick flesh without dross, sweet and refreshing, fresh and mellow.

In addition, it also has the effects of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, helping digestion, and increasing appetite, and the peel can be used as medicine after drying, and can also be used as an ingredient for cooking fish.In his book "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen once referred to Sihui tangerine as "fish jelly tangerine" and "treasure in tangerine".

Later, Sihui tangerines became tribute tangerines, and other places began to plant them. Later, Empress Wu Zetian liked them, and they became "Emperor Tangerines".

"It's really not sour, so sweet and refreshing, with a clear and mellow fragrance!"

Diao Chan smiled happily, and ate one tangerine in a few strokes.

"Here, it's delicious, just eat more."

Seeing Diaochan eating the citrus, Lu Bu felt that he enjoyed it too, and handed the freshly peeled citrus to Diaochan.

Just now Diao Chan watched Lu Bu concentrate on doing things, and now Lu Bu watched Diao Chan eat citrus, what an interesting couple.

"General, eat more too, it's very sweet."

Diao Chan was still blushing, and handed the few citrus peeled to Lu Bu.

Citrus is sweet, sweeter in the heart!

In this way, the two peeled oranges for each other, looked at each other, and ate up the twenty or so oranges in the bamboo basket with a smile.

"There's something near my mouth." Lu Bu directly reached out to wipe the citrus residue left on Diao Chan's mouth.

The movement was very natural, Diao Chan froze for a moment, did not dodge, just lowered his head slightly shyly, and whispered: "Thank you, General."

"It's noon, let's go ask Ling Qi to have lunch, and bring her some tangerines by the way, she will definitely like it."

Lu Bu got up, stretched out his hand to pull Diao Chan up, and then went out together.

"General, let's call Ling Qi. I've asked Xiao Taohong to send some oranges to her."

Stretching out her left hand and putting it in Lu Bu's, Diao Chan's heart was pounding and she spoke hastily to divert her attention.

"Okay, let's go straight there."

Holding Diao Chan's hand, Lu Bu was happy and beautiful!

After leaving the study, on the way to Lu Lingqi's room, Lu Bu still held Diao Chan's hand and asked, "Aren't you learning new arithmetic from Ling Qi these days, how is it?"

Lu Bu actually cared about the relationship between Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi. Although the two had started talking before, it still took some time for them to truly get along in harmony.

"Very good, Ling Qi taught me new arithmetic, and I would occasionally teach her some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Especially, she is very interested in painting and has a talent!" Diao Chan said with a smile.

Lu Bu knew that it was not easy for Diao Chan and his daughter Lu Lingqi in this matter, so he held Diao Chan's hand tightly and said distressedly, "I have wronged you."

With Lu Bu's words, Diao Chan felt it was worth it. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "General, I heard from Xiao Taohong that Ling Qi's birthday will be in eleven days. I was thinking , prepare a special birthday for Ling Qi, and celebrate her well, what does the general think?"

"Don't tell me, I almost forgot." Lu Bu was embarrassed. In fact, he really didn't pay attention to this matter, but he agreed with Diao Chan's idea, and said, "We prepare together, but we have to prepare separately. At the same time, we should keep it secret and not tell Ling. Qi, and give her two big surprises!"

"It's better for the general to think carefully, just follow the general's meaning."

Diao Chan has a plan in mind, and has a special idea, which I believe will surprise Lu Lingqi.

After that, the two talked and laughed all the way to Lu Lingqi's residence.

After lunch, Lu Bu will go to the Ministry of Rites. This afternoon is the beginning of the five-day new arithmetic training class organized by Chen Gong.

Chen Gong felt that Lu Bu should show his face, so it was just for the literati in Nanhai County, Cangwu County, and Hepu County to see his true colors.

Let them know what kind of person the general in charge of Jiaozhou is now!
