Chapter 565: Have You Found Tuoba Xianbei? [Monthly Vote Requested]

"Huzi, why don't you visit Wen Jing's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Li Yu's words made Zhao Dahu, who was cooking rice, almost choke. He took a sip of winter melon and pork ribs soup with an embarrassment on his face:

"I'm not engaged, so I came here rashly. Will Jingjing's father kick me out with a broom? After all, a freelancer like me is considered by the older generation to be a typical person who doesn't do his job properly."

Since moving here, Zhao Dahu's income is still very considerable. The quality of this hand-forged weapon is guaranteed, and the shape can be customized. When placed at home, it will be a perfect weapon for the house.

But families within the system have a natural sense of superiority over people outside the system, which is why Zhao Dahu has never dared to take action.

Zhao Feng encouraged:

"Go if you have to. First of all, you have to show your sincerity to the other person's parents, be thick-skinned, and have a sweet mouth. I think back then..."

He was just about to recall the scene when he went to the Zhang family to propose marriage, when his wife Zhang Wanping glared at him, and then he ate wisely, practicing the fine tradition of his ancestors who said nothing during food and sleep.

Zhao Dahu was so excited that he said:

"How about a trip during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Li Yu, if you say I want to bring ten boxes of Moutai, will Jingjing's father dislike it?"

Li Yu put a piece of chicken leg into the bowl:

"It's hard to say whether I dislike it or not, but the value of ten boxes of Moutai is enough for bribery..."

Mu Guiying made a blind idea:

"If I dare to dislike you, I will report it to the Discipline Inspection Commission. Isn't this high enough to be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years?"

Zhao Dahu: "..."

Sister, I came to visit you with gifts for the purpose of getting married, not for enmity.

Xiuhe said:

"According to the rules in my hometown, just bring a few roast chickens and two boxes of better fruit. We haven't gotten engaged yet. If you bring such a heavy gift, people won't dare to accept it. Once you get engaged, you won't be extravagant. It’s not too late.”

This is just the daughter's boyfriend coming to visit, not her fiancé. Their status is different, so the gifts they bring are naturally different.

Zhao Dahu looked like he had been taught something, and planned to discuss it with Wen Jing after dinner, and inquire about the preferences of Wen Kai and his wife. Although we are not bribing, we have to do what they want, and we can't get into trouble.

Li Yu was relatively new to visiting relatives, so he asked Xiu He for advice:

"Sister-in-law, for a newly engaged person like me, how many gifts do I need to bring to Tongtong's house?"

Xiuhe thought for a while and said:

"More than ten roast chickens are needed. Some respectable people here will even bring twenty roast chickens to the father-in-law's house. The bride's uncles and uncles have to send two roast chickens to each family. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get married. Being made difficult.”

Li Yu only remembered that when he was a child, visiting relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter who he went to, he would have roast chicken, but he didn't expect that there was such a special thing.

The Queen is more concerned about economic construction:

"Do you have to bring roast chicken when visiting relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival? That roast chicken restaurant is going to make crazy money."

"Isn't that right? Now the roast chicken restaurant over at Daokou has started to make reservations. It cooks thousands of roast chickens every day and the demand exceeds the supply. My third uncle's cousin can cook roast chicken. The family has settled in the south for a long time, but every time he comes He goes home to cook roast chicken on the first day of August. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can sell tens of thousands of roast chickens and then go back to the south. "

Tens of thousands of roast chickens? Assuming that each one earns only one dollar, that’s tens of thousands of dollars.

Earning so much in half a month is indeed worth the trip.

Diao Chan asked:

"Why do the roast chicken in the south and the roast chicken in the north have the same name, but they are two completely different foods?"

Li Yu said:

"In the south, the hanging oven roasting technique is called roasting, such as roasting goose, roasting duck, roasting chicken, and roasting bacon. They are all made in this way... Roast chicken in the north is fried first and then braised. Among the traditional Shandong cuisine techniques, there are It is said that every time it is fried, it must be fried. If there is no frying step, it will be ordinary braised chicken. "

Different accents and cultures cause dishes with the same name to appear in two different states.

Speaking of roast goose, Zhou Ruotong said:

"Let's cook two roast geese tomorrow. After the beginning of autumn, it's time to eat goose meat."

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the village to buy two geese and roast them. By the way, I will learn how to make sour plum sauce from Lin Xu."

Although the sour plum sauce used to dip the roast goose is finished, if you want it to taste good, it needs to be boiled again, so that the texture and taste will be more perfect.

Lin Xu mentioned this to Li Yu when he came last time. Now that Professor Zhou wants to eat it, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to learn it.

Zhao Dahu was worried, so he left in a hurry after eating two bowls of rice, and asked Wenjing to discuss a visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, at this time, Wenjing was also worried at the Hanfu Factory:

"If I go to Dao Naoaxe's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, will he think I'm in a hurry to get married? What should I do if his parents dislike me? I heard that the senior management of the steel factory are very arrogant... It's not good to fall into the mortal world. If I had known this, , I will continue to be a playboy who flirts with beauties from all walks of life!”

Hao Zhenzhen laughed so hard:

"You look pretty average. There's nothing wrong with you except for your small breasts. Dahu's parents won't dislike you. Maybe they think you saved their son."

Before falling in love, Zhao Dahu was obsessed with blacksmithing, and he probably worried about his family for a long time.

Now that I suddenly have a girlfriend, who looks pretty good and has a good family background, why should I set off firecrackers all night to celebrate?

Hao Zhenzhen encouraged:

"Go when you have to. Don't go empty-handed. Bring some gifts. Don't middle-aged and elderly people like tea and various health products? You can also buy some for your future parents-in-law. Maybe you can give them a big red envelope on the spot."

"Hey, I don't care about it. It's like a fraudulent marriage. As long as they don't refuse me to date Brain Ax... Speaking of which, I still like his beard, with a sense of isolation from the world. It looks wild, but unfortunately after shaving it off, it becomes an ordinary Chinese character face, without the look of a handsome man. "

After finishing her emotion, Wen Jing looked at Hao Zhenzhen and asked:

"You old man who eats young grass, how are you going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Go, go, you are just an old cow eating young grass. I am a female junior holding a gold brick...Brother Song went to my house for a meal, and then I accompanied him to Director Wang's house to visit relatives, and then went to a B&B to have a meal. Rice, that’s it.”

Wu Song's home is in the B&B. In addition to accompanying Wu Song to a grave on the top of the mountain in the morning, the rest is to eat and drink in the B&B. There is no need to think about meeting the parents at all, which is very worry-free.

Wen Jing sighed.

Alas, it’s another day to envy big-breasted Jane!

Just as she was sighing, Zhao Dahu called. Wen Jing's face lit up and she answered the phone calmly:

"what?"

"I want to discuss with you about going to your house during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ah ah ah ah, we are indeed a perfect match, and he is actually thinking about this matter... Wen Jing felt excited for a while, and asked deliberately with a straight face:

"Why are you going to my house?"

"Visit your uncle and aunt and tell them I can take good care of you."

Wen Jing originally wanted to stretch her arms, but Zhao Dahu's words warmed her heart and she wanted to kiss this guy right now:

"One minute, I want you to appear in front of me, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

As soon as she hung up the phone, Wen Jing saw the pickup truck parked at the gate. The broad-shouldered blacksmith pushed open the door and got out of the car like a thief. His blank look made Wen Jing couldn't help but feel happy:

"You actually know how to talk about love. We need to interrogate him later to find out who he learned it from!"

When it was dark, Wu Song drove Zhao Yun and Zhao Xue to the B&B. Just as he was about to turn around and go back, Li Yu said to him:

"Erlang, take the time to go to the book world and tell Xiaoqi that he will collect seventy big roosters and raise them first. When we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival here, we will make them all into roast chickens and I will take them to the capital to visit relatives."

Seventy roast chickens, ten were brought to the Zhou family in the capital, ten were given to father-in-law Mu Yu in Muke Village, ten were sent to the Sanxiao Courtyard in the Fengshen World, and ten were given to the Wa Palace and ten to the Underworld. Ten of them will be given to parents in the provincial capital, and ten more will be kept at the B&B for Zhao Yun, Zhao Xueyu, and Wen Chengdu to practice.

Upon hearing this, Wu Song sent a message to Hao Zhenzhen, and then went directly from the gate to Handan City, where the Water Margin tells the story of Yue World, and found Ruan Xiaoqi who was about to drive an off-road motorcycle to collect the chickens:

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up in the real world. Brother Li would like to ask you to collect a batch of roosters in advance and make roast chicken for visiting relatives."

Xiao Qi quickly put the motorcycle sent by Li Yu on the roadside:

"How much?"

"One hundred, Brother Li, seventy, I want thirty... buy the chickens first and fatten them up, so that the roasted chickens will be delicious."

"Okay, okay, no problem. I will mobilize the entire Handan City to collect chickens later."

Upon hearing that her husband was in need, Xiaoqi showed enthusiasm:

"Erlang, you don't know. Whether the roasted chicken tastes good or not depends on the oil. First fry it with lard. When stewing it, pour a spoonful of lard into the soup, and then throw a piece of pig fat into it. As long as the stewing soup is fat enough, The roasted chicken is obviously much more delicious. ”

Wu Song really didn't expect to have such a skill:

"I'll learn how to braise chicken at home tomorrow. Is this what you concluded?"

"No, as mentioned in the improved roast chicken recipe that my husband gave me, I have also been exploring other delicacies recently."

After Xiaoqi finished speaking, he went to do other things. Wu Song felt that since he was here once, it would not be appropriate not to visit Laoguan, so he strolled to the construction site outside the city and happened to see Laoguan in green robe supervising everyone to build the city wall.

Now the base of the city wall has been repaired and is covered with various stone strips. On top are large bricks that have been fired urgently recently and are piled up using the method of being cooked inside and outside.

Brick walls are used inside and outside, and steel bars are added to the inside when building the walls. Occasionally, a beam is added to connect the inner and outer walls.

The middle is filled with adobe, and every half meter, a layer of bamboo is added to act as steel bars to make the wall stronger.

When the city wall is completed, we will consider hanging a steel mesh and using an air pump to spray cement mortar on the wall to completely eliminate the possibility of enemy troops climbing up the wall.

Of course, if no one comes to attack, we won't be so busy to avoid wasting building materials.

Seeing Wu Song, Lao Guan looked at the calendar on his phone and asked:

"Is it almost Mid-Autumn Festival in the real world?"

"Come on, I'm here today to inform Xiaoqi to make roast chicken. Brother Li will use it to visit relatives. General Zilong will come by then. The second master can ask Gongsun Taoist priest to send you to Zhending Mansion. You guys Let’s get together.”

If there were any other suggestions, Guan Yu would reject them without saying a word. As the coach of one side, how could he leave his post without permission?

But this time, Lao Guan rarely declined. Instead, he raised his hands and said to Wu Song:

"At that time, please ask Erlang to take charge here. If there is any emergency, please notify me immediately."

"Second Master, don't worry, I will take care of everything!"

The biggest advantage of Wu Song here is that he can go to the real world to inform everyone at any time, but based on the current reaction of the Song Dynasty, as long as Handan City does not raise the flag in name, it will not care.

After walking around for a while, Wu Song took the walkie-talkie and said hello to Zhou Tong who was sitting in Qilin Village. Then he left the world in the book and returned to the B&B.

In the world of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu squatted by the Yellow River holding a big cake and looked at the aerial images on the monitor carefully:

"It's not easy to find a place suitable for building a bridge, as there are wide and narrow rivers. "

The waters here are relatively wide. Relatively speaking, a few dozen miles to the west, there is a relatively narrow river.

But a narrow river can only reduce the amount of cement piles used, and the actual construction difficulty will not be reduced much, because a narrow river means that the water is deep and the current is fast, which is not suitable for piling.

After searching for a long time, Lu Bu finally found a more suitable place. The river width is moderate, and the most important thing is that the banks on both sides are relatively high, so a bridge across the river can be built directly, so that the bridge will not delay the navigation, and people crossing the bridge will not have to go up and down the slope repeatedly.

After determining the location, he talked to Zhang Yang about farming.

Zhang Yang was the governor of Henei, and he was not unfamiliar with farming. On the first day he came to Jiuyuan, he inspected all the arable land nearby.

Jiuyuan is located in the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, which is relatively warm and suitable for crop growth. However, the area on the north bank of the Yellow River is relatively small, and the area on the south bank is relatively larger, and the land is more fertile.

Zhang Liao flipped through the map of the real world and said:

"The south is called DLTQ. This name doesn't fit the style of the Han Dynasty...Wen Hou, Heyin County on the south bank has been abandoned. Can we propose to the court to rebuild a county town on the south bank of the Yellow River to grow crops?"

If the land on the south bank is developed, it can develop nearly 10 million mu of good farmland. Even if it is calculated according to the cultivated land area after soil erosion in later generations, there are more than 5 million mu of good farmland.

With so much land, if a county town is not built to cultivate it, it will not work for a while.

Lv Bu thought for a while and said:

"It's okay to build a county town, but what about the population? You can't just rob the population from the inland, right? First, build a military settlement, and when there are more good farms, the people will come to seek refuge, and then you can naturally turn the military settlement farm into a town, and then combine it into a county town."

Food must be eaten bite by bite, and the regime must be established step by step.

At the beginning, a county town is set up, with only officials but no people. You can't let the county magistrate take the lead in reclaiming wasteland, right?

In terms of efficiency in land reclamation, the common people cannot compare with the army, especially the Xiliang army that reclaimed wasteland in Guanzhong. When spring comes, a group of them will be sent to reclaim farmland and plant corn here, which will definitely yield a bumper harvest.

Cheng Yu is more concerned about the planting area of ​​crops:

"Will all of them be planted as crops?"

"At most one-third will be reclaimed, and the rest will be used to build a horse farm... Didn't I bring all the information on breeding hybrid horses? Study it carefully and try to breed as many good horses as possible."

In addition to Jiuyuan, Guangmu County, more than 100 miles to the west, and Wuquan County, which is Hohhot in the real world, will also allocate part of the land for land reclamation, and the rest will be used to raise horses.

Horses are the foundation of a country.

The Han Dynasty went from weak to strong because of the implementation of the horse policy, which brought countless good horses to the country. Coincidentally, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was strong was because there were 500,000 iron cavalry in the country.

Such a scale would definitely make most small countries sing and dance and kneel down to lick the ground.

In addition to the Jiuyuan area, the southern foot of the Helan Mountains where Beidi County is located and the southern pasture of the Tianshan Mountains where the Western Regions are located will all build horse farms in the future to continuously breed good horses.

When we conquer Dayuan in the future, we will immediately move all the Dayuan horses inland and use Dayuan horses as a good breed for crossbreeding.

With horses, the army will have sufficient mobility and the possibility of conquering all directions.

Otherwise, relying on the soldiers' two legs alone, when will they be able to reach the Mediterranean!

Zhang Liao flipped through the information at hand and asked:

"There are many miscellaneous Hu people in Shuofang. Do you want to occupy the big lake next to Woye County? I think we can build a hydroelectric power station."

Lv Bu said:

"Occupy it. After the hydroelectric power station is built, the mines here can also be mined on a small scale... From now on, the foreign races cannot be exterminated. So many physical jobs have to be done by them."

Cheng Yu quickly agreed when he heard it:

"I also think it's a pity to kill them. Now that construction is going on everywhere, Bingzhou also needs a lot of manpower. It's better to give them a chance and kill them after they finish the work."

Good guy, if you didn't say the last sentence, I would have thought you had changed your nature.

But just kill them. Keeping them is a waste of food. When the fertile land is reclaimed, call on the people in the interior to migrate to the border. At that time, some caring policies will be introduced, such as easier access to official status, lower agricultural taxes, free medical care and education, etc.

As long as the people are willing to come, everything is fine.

In fact, there is no need to come up with too many policies. As long as they are not affected by the war, the people are willing to come.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Central Plains was in constant war, and hundreds of thousands of people came to Liaodong with their families to seek refuge, which gave the Liaodong governor Gongsun the illusion of competing for world domination.

Gongsun Kang's son Gongsun Yuan actively trained his troops and prepared for war, and also divided the Liaodong County under his name into several counties, in order to make the territory appear large and the population large.

Although the war did not affect Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan always regarded the princes as imaginary enemies, and even put forward the slogan of dividing the world into four parts.

Unfortunately, he was having fun, but the princes of the Central Plains did not even look at him, and even sneered at the idea of ​​dividing the world into four parts.

In the end, the Gongsun family in Liaodong annoyed Cao Mao by jumping around repeatedly, and sent the Grand Marshal Sima Yi to fight. Gongsun Yuan, who was originally arrogant, thought that the opportunity for the family to rise was coming, but Sima Yi wiped out the whole family, and the heads were placed in the Jingguan.

Sima Yi's only artistic creation was the material provided by Gongsun.

After confirming the location of the bridge, Lu Bu stood up and said:

"Then let's start planning. Once it's done, we'll start construction. I have a lot of things to do and can't delay."

He looked at the selected location again and asked someone to test the geological strength. Don't let the Huiqiao Bridge collapse before the embankments on both sides are repaired.

Everyone was busy, and Xu Shu's voice came from the intercom:

"Report to Wen Hou, Zi Yu and I led the reconnaissance cavalry and found the tribe of Tuoba Xianbei. They were hiding in the Yinshan Mountains, and the location was quite dangerous."

Lv Bu asked hurriedly:

"Did you catch the tongue?"

"Caught it, it is said that Tuoba Jiefen, who asked for the head of Tuoba Xianbei, wants to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his youngest son to celebrate his adulthood."

Eighteen years old?

Could it be Tuoba Liwei, the super-long standby king?

Lu Bu asked Dian Wei who came to say goodbye:

"Old Dian, do you want to kill a few Tuoba Xianbei bastards before you leave?"

Dian Wei immediately rubbed his hands:

"It doesn't matter whether I kill them or not. I'm just curious about the coming-of-age ceremony of the alien race and want to go and pay my respects."

This is very much in line with Cheng Yu's temper:

"Then let's go together. The more gifts, the less blame. I believe Tuoba Xianbei will treat us well!"
