Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2411 Everyone eats his own way (plus more)

  Fei Qian has always felt that, as a member of the big foodie empire, if he could not activate this gene deposited in the blood earlier, he would feel sorry for so many Chinese dishes in later generations.

  Therefore, General Hussars also has a very widely recognized rumor, which is "the reincarnation of gluttony".

   After all, there are quite a lot of delicacies handed down from Feiqian.

   There are many delicacies in China, and each region has its own style, but this does not prevent these different styles of cuisine from appearing in the same place and being welcomed and loved by the same group of people.

Just like the dishes in Jiangnan and Modu are exquisite, they seem to have a taste of "never tire of eating and eating", with a bit of "willow bank, dawn wind and moon", while Northwest cuisine has another style, The belt noodles are wide and long, not enough to eat two bowls, if there is no chili, nothing tastes good, and without garlic, the nutrition is half...

  Although Dahan has not introduced chili peppers from America, it does not hinder people's love and pursuit of food.

For ordinary people, they don’t have time to wait for Pao Ding to make exquisite dishes, and they don’t have much thought to chew and eat slowly. They only need a large amount to fill their stomachs. If there is a spoonful of hot oil, the more salty it is, the better. Well, after all, the sun is strong in the northwest and the climate is dry. Daily work requires a lot of electrolytes to replenish.

   But for the children of the gentry, it is different. They have money and leisure, and they can wait patiently for Pao Ding to slowly cook a time-consuming meal, and they will choose according to their own preferences, not for the purpose of being full.

  Changan Zuixian Tower.

  In the lobby, an inspector led several subordinates, sitting cross-legged or on mats in the corridor, and a few people just ate and drank around a table.

  The first two days were paydays, and the inspector had just received a bounty, so he brought his brother to Zuixianlou for a tooth sacrifice. Of course, the cost of the private seats on the second floor is too high, as in such a small courtyard corridor, even if you have face, you won't be able to afford it.

The inspector was originally from the army, and he still retains the habit of eating and drinking in the army. Several of his subordinates are also used to managing in accordance with military regulations. Had a good time!

  Dapanji is said to have been invented by Fei Qian, and some people say no, it was Pang Tong who ate it first, but no matter who invented this way of eating, it really suits the taste of Northwesterners. Although there are no condiments such as peppers of later generations, after adding spices from the Western Regions, the relatively ordinary dishes seem to suddenly have a soul and become a very popular delicacy.

  Of course, if you want to eat meat, the big plate chicken is obviously not as refreshing as grabbing mutton and beef, but the big plate chicken is cheaper than those dishes.

  Chicken is obviously much cheaper than lamb and beef.

  Think about it, five or six big men, let go of their stomachs to eat, and the big plate chicken is obviously more suitable, it is meaty and full. Especially the semi-militarized ones like Xiang Xunjian, Xilihulu eat a meal, as if they are going to do something big with a knife and gun after wiping their mouths, steamed buns, wide soup cakes, and big plate chicken the soup...

  Beautiful and ruthless!

  At this time, the banquet was halfway through, and most of the chicken on the plate was eaten up on the table, and there was a piece of bone dregs on the table, and a piece of bone dregs on the table, but the big-bellied men seemed to feel more or less satisfied.

  The inspector immediately clapped his hands: "Get the naan!" 』

  When the staff of Zuixianlou heard the greeting, they came over with a basket of freshly baked pancakes and put them on the side of the table.

  Why is eating big plate chicken at Zuixianlou better than ordering other dishes? It’s also here, that is, these steamed buns, wide soup cakes, baked naan, etc. are all included in the price of big plate chicken, enough!

  Roasted naan and large plate chicken are also a perfect match. Breaking the roasted naan and dipping the juice in the large plate chicken will make your stomach round!

  Eating the baked naan, the inspector felt a little emotional. He held a piece of baked naan for a long time, but he didn't eat or speak for a long time.

  Baked naan was not invented by Feiqian.

   This thing has been around for a while, and it is called Hubing. Even Emperor Han Ling likes to eat it very much, and he eats it once every three days.

  Of course, the naans of the Han Dynasty did not have as many tricks as later generations. At first, this kind of naan was stored as dry food for the military. There was no way. Water sources are also relatively scarce, and some places do not have the conditions for cooking, so they can only eat dry food to satisfy their hunger.

   Therefore, when sending troops, you must carry dry food, otherwise life and death will be in the blink of an eye.

  During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Guangli was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to march westward with 6,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of villainous youths from counties and counties. Only when the Han army captured the city could they get food supplements. If they failed to capture the city, they had to leave within a few days, otherwise they would die.

   In this way, they were lost all the way to the west of Congling. Before the capital of Dawan was seen, the Han army had lost its combat effectiveness, and only a few thousand people followed, terribly hungry. Of course, Li Guangli was also cowardly. Without Huo Qubing's desperate courage, he took a tour around the gate of Dawan and returned empty-handed.

   Later, I learned a little better, and added a little logistics to the technology tree.

After a year of preparation, the Han Dynasty poured all its power into the country and sent 180,000 soldiers to develop the Hexi Corridor and build roads. The Yumen Pass was also moved to the west of Dunhuang. There are countless donkeys, camels and other things, carrying rice and grain, following Li Guangli on the expedition, making rice all the way, and eating livestock after eating rice and grain. Seeing the strength of the Han army, most of the states in the Western Regions opened their cities to greet them, except for Luntai resistance, which had not been thought of clearly, and the Han army arrived in Dawan smoothly.

   But embarrassingly, a little logistics is still not enough.

   One year later, the war ended, and there was another food problem on the return trip. The countries in the Western Regions were short of people and food, and it was difficult to supply the Han army, so Li Guangli had to divide the army into several waves and return home from the northern and southern routes of the Western Regions. However, due to the serious corruption of officials, many people died.

  Many Han soldiers did not die in battle, but died of thirst and starvation on the way...

  The reason for this is that the dry food in the Han Dynasty at that time was mainly embarrassing rice, that is, cooked and dried corn. This thing has a huge disadvantage, that is, it is not edible. In addition, there was not enough fat in the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers who consumed a lot of physical strength had to eat at least one stone a month. It seems a bit exaggerated to say, but in fact this is just an ordinary meal.

  Later, after learning from the painful experience, Hu Bing, that is, roasted naan, replaced embarrassment and became the first choice of dry food for the Han Dynasty at that time. And under such a choice and change, countless lives are paid.

   One of the inspectors, who was immersed in eating, saw that the team leader was in a daze, and was a little puzzled, "Brother Wang! What's wrong with you? Stop eating? 』

"what? Haha..." Captain Wang waved the baked naan in his hand twice, "Hey, tell me, isn't this guy cheap... I was a soldier in the North, and sometimes I had no land to cook, so I ate this thing , at most one time for more than a month! Moldy, hairy, scratched, baked, or eaten! Didn’t the hussars have new dry rations later on? I swore that I would never touch this thing again...haha, but it’s back, it’s good now, if I can’t eat this for three or five days, it’s weird...hahaha ...'

  『Speaking of which, I am too! Let me tell you... the water in the cowhide bag, in order not to stink so easily, you have to throw some vinegar cloth in it... When I was in the army, I was really annoyed by this vinegar cloth... Hey, Now out of the military, hey, guess what? I saw it being sold at the market two days ago, and I didn’t know what was wrong, so I went to buy a piece and threw it in a water tank, drank it...then I was scolded by the guy at home...』

  『Ahahahaha...』

  『No wonder you had color on your face two days ago...』

   A group of men gathered together, laughing loudly.

   After laughing, it seems that each has some nostalgia.

  『Okay, eat quickly, work after eating! 』

  Wang Dui took another baked naan, broke it open, took half of it himself, and distributed the other half to the people around him, just like when he was still in the army, eating with a group of people...

  Perhaps it was because Wang Dui led the others to speak and laugh too much, which attracted the eyes of the other two people in the Drunken Immortal Building.

  In this gaze, there is scrutiny, impatience, sarcasm, and even a kind of superior looking down. It's like looking down at a gathering of ants, a bunch of caterpillars.

   Above the second floor of Zuixianlou, there are private seats separated by screens, and the consumption is expensive.

Those who can come to eat often without feeling heartache are naturally the children of noble families with certain financial resources, and ordinary poor families may also be able to, but they will never say that they come to eat every now and then, or directly use Zuixianlou as their own restaurant. up.

  Then it leads to a question, what kind of gentry children would regard Zuixianlou as their own restaurant?

  The two scholars on the second floor were still whispering something to the inspectors in the corridor downstairs.

  The sight line on the second floor will be better.

  From this angle, you can see Chang'an Avenue, the end of the street.

   Moreover, Zuixianlou was noisy, the two of them sat together, speaking in a low voice, they were basically not afraid of being eavesdropped by others.

Among the crowds on the street, there are inspectors on horseback, wearing red and black armor, with three-color recognition flags on their backs. They line up to inspect every move on the street, as if reminding passers-by that this is Chang'an. This is the place of Hussars...

  The two looked away.

  『When I first heard about the inspection in Guanzhong, I underestimated it and didn’t take it seriously... 』 One of the middle-aged men with three-wisp beard said, 『Now that I think about it, I know the magic of Huqi’s move...』

  The young man on the opposite side also nodded and said: "That's true. Before Chang'an in the future, I thought that this kind of patrol inspection was just Si Kou changing his name... But looking at it now, it's not the case..."

  The inspection system is an original policy under the rule of Hushi.

   At the beginning, it didn't get any special attention.

  Inspection has the function of a commander, but it cannot simply be equal to a commander.

Strictly speaking, there was no special police system in ancient China. In localities, there was no distinction between administration and judiciary. There are personnel with functions similar to modern police, such as patrolling and arresting, who are responsible for maintaining law and order at the front line of society and arresting criminals.

  During the pre-Qin period, the central judicial authority was Tingwei Mansion, and the highest judicial official was Tingwei. Qin's place is a county system, and the local judicial organs are concurrently held by the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Difficult cases are reported to the central government, and ordinary cases are handled by themselves.

  Liu Bang, who founded the country in the Han Dynasty, is probably equal to the police station plus post office plus tax office in later generations. Generally speaking, he has such a position, but he does not have as many people as later generations, only two or three subordinates.

The Han Dynasty basically inherited the system of the Qin Dynasty, including the judicial system, so it can be seen that before Feiqian, there was a lack of social security and judicial trials at the grassroots level. Even though the population of the Han Dynasty was far lower than that of later generations, the society The breadth and depth of coverage of public security and judicial trials are still pitifully small.

  But there must be disputes between people. Under such conditions, there is a foundation for the survival of the clan law, and now under the hussars, the foundation of the clan law is being weakened and shaken...

"The first inspections were in the fields..." The middle-aged man said slowly, "The people in the fields are either trapped by thieves or the end of life. They live in the countryside and often live in filth. Qianmo...』

At the beginning, Fei Qian introduced the inspection system, and these gentry and squires thought it was good, because they might have been needed to mediate disputes, and they were not required to deal with disputes, so they could have more free time to drink, dance and have fun, and then I found that things gradually went wrong.

  『Who would have thought of the current inspections... 』 The young man interjected, 『The hustle and bustle's strategy...is simply...」

  Now in Sanfu of Chang’an, there are other hussars who are under the rule of the hussars. They are used to the existence of patrol inspections. When encountering problems, they can go to the patrol inspection to solve the problem. Then who will go to any clan or squire?

In a certain way, the so-called nostalgia and aspirations are harmful to a certain extent. For example, in later generations, the whole village's "foreign daughter-in-law", or the whole village's "processing factory", are in fact "everyone is a neighbor" ". Under the guise of "everyone is a fellow countryman", they were either actively or passively kneaded together, even though these people knew that what they were doing was not a good thing.

  『Two guest officers! Chumi Duck is here...』

  Zuixianlou's work interrupted the two people's low-pitched discussion.

  The so-called "Chumi Duck" is a new delicacy that appeared in Zuixianlou some time ago.

  Different from those dishes that tend to be Northwestern or Qianghu customs, the cooking method and material selection of "Chumi Duck" are more inclined to the Chu area. Corn and wheat are mostly used in the north, while rice is used in the south. Chumi is obviously cooked with rice and glutinous rice.

  The two were overjoyed, so they met and raised their chopsticks to eat.

Although it is said that food has no borders, if you stay in one place for a long time, you will be biased towards a certain place, just like boiled fish was once popular all over the country, but after a long time, after the heat subsides, it is not a human being. Everyone liked it.

   After all, eating habits in different places are still different.

  Obviously, the two of them had a preference for Chumi Duck. They just focused on eating for a while, and didn't speak for a while. After eating some, they slowed down a little.

  『Now...at the Qinglong Temple...』 The middle-aged man took a drink from the side, took a sip, and said, "It's a little troublesome... when everyone is more important than the scriptures, what about Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu..."

  The young man also stopped his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "I thought you were Zhengping..."

  『…』The middle-aged man shook his head, then sighed, 『Have you ever gained anything in the Xuanwu Pond? 』

  『This…』 The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, 「The surrounding area is tightly controlled, it is difficult to enter...But, someone found some ways...」

  『Gateways…』The middle-aged man pondered for a moment.

   Qinglong Temple's work was not done well, and it turned out that a new warship appeared under the rule of Hussar General!

According to the description of the officials who went to Xuanwu Pool to watch the ceremony at that time, the new warships under the hussars were not only large, but also had strange sails and strange equipment. , It simply broke through the original confinement, bringing the battleship to a whole new level!

At the beginning, after hearing the news, of course, I was skeptical, and even felt that it was hypocritical and not necessarily true, but after contacting some different officials intentionally or unintentionally, different people came to a similarity. conclusion...

  General Hussars is in Xuanwu Pool, and has a new type of warship that far surpasses Jiangdong's level!

   It was like a bolt from the blue!

   This matter is obviously more important than what disturbs the discussion in Guanzhong, or causes any disputes. But the problem is that although the Xuanwu Pool is big, the surrounding area is under supervision. Anyone who appears there without reason will be warned and expelled. If they don't listen to dissuasion, they will be shot and killed on the spot!

   It is obviously impossible to go directly to the scene to watch.

  Before, some people used various excuses and pretended to inquire about some important workshops under Fei Qian's command.

Just like the gunpowder under the hussars, some true and false news flowed out, but what followed were inspections and soldiers who smelled the smell, and some people were even arrested because of this and put into In the great prison, at last is...

  But if you don’t know at the moment, it’s fine if you haven’t heard about it. Now that you’ve heard about it, you can’t pretend that you haven’t discovered anything, and then don’t do anything.

  『It’s best to have blueprints... 』The middle-aged man whispered, 『It’s useless to only know the shape but not the reason...』

   Generally speaking, there are two ways to steal technology. One is to obtain design drawings or specific objects, and the other is to kidnap or bribe the craftsman in charge. Obviously, for things like new-style buildings and boats, it is difficult to find out the specific objects, and the only possible way is to bribe the craftsmen, and it is best to get blueprints.

  The middle-aged man said, "If you can get a picture, you should spare no money... But, you need to be careful..."

   Auspicious Year of the Tiger!

   I wish all book friends good health and happiness!
