The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 25 The Weapon of the Nation
"The sharp weapon of the country?" Upon hearing these four words, Zhu Zhi did not dare to take it lightly. He straightened his back, opened his half-closed eyes, looked at Sun Shao with piercing eyes, stroked his beard and did not speak.Liquor is a consumer product, and it is a high-end commodity. Now that food is scarce, the government actually does not approve of wine making. Whether it is Cao Cao in the Central Plains or Liu Bei who has just occupied Bashu, they have issued a ban on alcohol. Because of the less war in Jiangdong, there is no food yet. I was so nervous, and I was also afraid of causing opposition from the aristocratic families that run the wine business, and it is true that alcohol is inseparable from various occasions, so I have not issued a prohibition order.But wine is not the same as salt and iron, and it cannot be hooked with the sharp weapon of the country. Sun Shao said so, could it be that he is not greedy enough and wants to bargain?
"That's right. If this wine is treated a bit more, it can be used to heal wounds. It's hundreds of times better than salt water."

"Really?" Zhu Zhi not only straightened his back this time, but also straightened his waist. His hips have left his heels, just like the kneeling posture.He has fought in wars and knows the dangers of casualties after wars. Washing wounds with salt water is the best way at present, but the effect is not satisfactory. Wounds festering and causing death have always been a big problem.If this wine is as effective as Sun Shao said, it is hundreds of times better than salt water, it will greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and the soldiers who have gone through the war are rare wealth. The significance of this does not need to be said by Sun Shaoduo. Zhu Zhi can figure it out.

Sun Shao slowly pushed another celadon altar in front of Zhu Zhi, and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Zhu, why don't you give it a try?"

After leaving the prefect's mansion, it was already dark. Sun Shao originally wanted to go to the wine shop to have a look, but he had no choice but to give up. As soon as the sun went down, the market would be closed and no one could enter. Even if you go to investigate, you can't find any new tricks, so it's better to go home and rest.

Before entering the mansion, Sun Shao saw Qiaoyue looking at the door, as soon as she saw the carriage, Qiaoyue ran over, supported the barrier and smiled, "Young master, you are back, Madam is waiting for you to eat. "

"Wait for me to eat?" Sun Shao jumped out of the car and asked curiously as he walked in: "Madam, what are you waiting for me? Is there a guest?"

"No guests." Qiaoyue trotted all the way, and said happily: "Madam has prepared a lot of letters, and I will tutor you in reading after you come back after dinner."

Sun Shao was so frightened that he stopped abruptly. Qiaoyue didn't pay attention for a while, and bumped into his back with a "bang", which made his nose sore and tears came out.She yelled "Aiyo", covered her nose and squatted down.

"Oh, sister Yue, what's wrong with you?" Shuai Zeng hurried over to please.

Sun Shao didn't care about these, he looked at the small building with lights in the backyard in surprise, and thought, she really wants to train me to be a great Confucian, she doesn't even let me breathe, there are a lot of bamboo slips, I can't die reading It must be crushed to death.

"Young master, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Sun Shao's complexion changed, Qiaoyue looked terrified, covered her nose, and asked worriedly, with tears still dangling in her eye sockets.

"Oh, nothing." Sun Shao let out a long breath, looked at the small building in the backyard again, and shook his head helplessly.He dragged his heavy steps, and as soon as he stepped into Daqiao's room, Daqiao, who was playing the piano, said with a three-pointed joy: "Aman, where have you been, why are you only here now?"

"I went to the prefect's mansion to find Mr. Zhu." Sun Shao looked at Daqiao's room with a guilty conscience, and saw that there were indeed a pile of tall soap sacs on the desk, all of which were bulging. Swallowing a large piece of Coptis chinensis is a pain.

"Looking for Mr. Zhu?" Daqiao was stunned for a moment, and seeing Sun Shao's expression was not good, thinking that he had suffered in the prefect's mansion again, he couldn't help worrying: "Looking for Mr. Zhu...for what?"

Sun Shao told the story, Daqiao realized that he had misunderstood, Sun Shao was not seeking an official but seeking money, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Zhu Gong is right, you should come forward yourself The management is indeed not good, so let’s leave it to Tianranju. However, your conditions are indeed a bit harsh, and I’m afraid that Mr. Zhu may not be able to say it.”

"Don't worry, I will be able to." Sun Shao is confident. Although he can't know the specific alcohol content now, but based on the taste, the wine he gave to Zhu Zhi should be very close to the most commonly used medical alcohol content. It is more effective than salt water Well, there is no doubt about it, just wait for Zhu Zhi to send someone to invite him.It's just that there are many kinds of medical alcohol, so relying on feeling is not a problem after all, and we have to think of a more reliable method.

"Are you so sure?" Daqiao rolled his eyes at him, touched his growling stomach, and ordered Qiaoying to cook, she was already hungry.

"Not [-]%, at least [-]%." Sun Shao paused, picked up a piece of fish stick, dipped it in some clear sauce, threw it into his mouth, and started to chew.He likes this kind of raw fish very much, it's all wild perch in Taihu Lake, it's not easy to eat this kind of wild fish once in his previous life, not to mention that the price is so expensive that he, a young white-collar worker, is speechless. The key is that the quantity is too small, and the rich may not be able to buy it.Besides, he was really hungry, he went to see off the guests early in the morning, and then went to the prefect's mansion in the afternoon, Zhu Zhi was really stingy, he took the wine and didn't even keep a meal, he was so hungry that his heart was stuck in his back.

Daqiao drank the porridge without making a sound. She glanced at Sun Shao, who was devouring it, from time to time. She felt that the adopted son in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar. She said she was familiar because his facial features and body were the same as before, and unfamiliar because of his current behavior and illness. He was completely different before, like two different people. Could it be that he was completely reborn after being ill for a while?Or have you seen through life and death and completely changed your mentality?It's understandable to let go of the burden, so when did he learn these strange tricks again, steaming wine and frying vegetables, he never stepped into the kitchen before.

Sun Shao didn't know that Daqiao had become suspicious of him, so he just buried his head in eating, and he had to go to class later, and he didn't know when it was going to be, so he didn't know what to do if he didn't eat more.It wasn't until he was almost done eating that he felt that Daqiao was looking at him all the time, with his mouth full of food, he rolled his eyes at Daqiao and said vaguely: "What's wrong?"

In fact, Daqiao was no longer looking at him, but was in a daze, just subconsciously looking at his side, and didn't notice that he was looking at him for too long, his expression was too focused, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of saying The unclear smile did not match the expression of an adoptive mother looking at her adopted son. When asked by Sun Shao, she realized that she had lost her composure. Qiaoying, who was full of doubts, took a big sip of the meat soup in her hand.

Qiaoying exclaimed in surprise, "Ma'am, be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Daqiao spit out a mouthful of hot meat soup, opened his mouth wide, and put his hands on his mouth to slap wildly.
