Chapter 645 Cao Cao: I Feel Like I Have Always Lived in the Shadow of Wen Hou! [Seeking Monthly Votes]
In the early morning, Li Yu went for a run with Zhou Ruotong. As soon as they returned to the B&B, they saw Zhou Bingren and Zhao Peimin strolling down the mountain carrying a sheep.
The couple went hiking in the morning, passed through the old village of Shitouzhai, and wandered to the back mountain. They happened to meet a farmer herding sheep, so they bought a lamb that was just over one year old.
Sheep of this age are most suitable for barbecue. Zhou Bingren saw photos of whole sheep roasted by his daughter and son-in-law in the past and wanted to try them.
Li Yu quickly took it and said:
"If you want to eat sheep, I'll make arrangements for it. I'll have someone send you a yellow sheep later."
Zhou Bingren:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Hey, can the yellow sheep also be eaten?
He didn't ask too much, just reminded in a low voice:
"Keep a low profile and don't let anyone take pictures. It will be difficult to explain later."
"I know dad, we usually eat peeled food, so no one will notice."
Li Yu brought the sheep into the yard. He wanted to kill it and skin it, but he didn't do it. Fortunately, Wu Song and Hao Zhenzhen came. As soon as the tiger-fighting hero heard about the slaughter of the sheep, he grabbed the ox-ear sharp knife and got busy without saying a word.
In less than half an hour, the whole sheep has been skinned, and even the sheep blood has been collected into a small basin. I plan to filter it. First, squeeze it with hot water, then cut it into small pieces, put some dried chili and dried Sichuan peppercorns, and heat it. The oil is stirred up and turned into sheep's blood, which is tender and delicious.
In the kitchen, Zhang Ping is preparing breakfast.
Corn porridge, wild vegetable nests, fried eggs with pepper leaves, pan-fried skin dregs, shredded potato pancakes, tofu dipped in sauce, stir-fried shredded pork with pickled mustard, braised pork belly and dried radish... these are all Zhang Ping's signature dishes, and they were often eaten by Li Yu when he was a child. Delicious food.
Li Yu marinated the mutton and strolled to the kitchen. Just as he was about to reach out and pinch a piece of skin to taste, his mother drove him out:
"How old are you? You still eat secretly? Let your father and others wash their hands and eat. Xiaosong eats a lot, so I have to use a small basin to serve it to him, lest this child is too shameless and unwilling to return the bowl."
Li Yu called everyone to eat and brought the food to the private room. The family sat down and started eating breakfast.
Zhao Peimin was very interested in wild vegetables, and the spicy garlic sauce made by Zhang Ping was more enjoyable. She ate three of them in one go, and she still had some unfinished thoughts:
"I used to have eggs and milk for breakfast, or buy something casually. I rarely sit down and eat slowly like this. I feel like I will gain a few pounds after this holiday."
My son-in-law’s place has good scenery, good air, and good food. The vegetables are all grown in the village and there is no pollution. The peanut oil used is also squeezed by the old oil mill in the village, so it tastes safe.
Not to mention the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, they are all raised by farmers, and the meat smell is obviously stronger.
Living in a place like this, it's really easy to get fat.
Li Yu said:
"If you like these ingredients, I can ask Lin Ji's vegetable delivery truck to deliver some to your home regularly so that your grandparents can eat the vegetables here."
The fish used in Lin Xu's restaurant are all caught in the Longqishan Reservoir. He often goes to the capital to deliver them, and sometimes he also brings some seasonal vegetables. It is easy for Li Yu to take advantage of the car to deliver food to the elders in the capital.
Zhao Peimin said:
"Forget it, it's troublesome. We don't have many opportunities to eat at home, and your grandpa has to be careful about his mouth. When it comes to delicious food, the old lady can't control him even more."
Zhang Ping asked Li Yu:
"What kind of meat was that you asked the courier to deliver to us last time? It was so delicious. Your dad and I ate several meals of tomato pot at home and shared it with several relatives before we finished it."
Li Yu originally wanted to talk about shrimp meat, but he thought his mother wouldn't believe it, so he simply said:
"That's... genetically modified artificial shrimp meat cultivated abroad."
Zhang Ping asked casually and did not listen carefully. In addition, Li Yu said the word genetically modified, and the old mother's mentality broke out:
"Isn't it said on the Internet that genetically modified food cannot be eaten? Your Aunt Wang next door wants me to carry a hundred kilograms of it. I think it's better to forget it. Don't eat anything bad. Our family can't afford to pay for it."
Zhou Ruotong pinched Li Yu gently, the bad guy was telling lies.
Foreign cultivation, genetically modified, and artificial shrimp meat, these three elements that are strictly guarded against in the circle of middle-aged and elderly people are mixed together. The shrimp meat in Fengshen World will definitely be on the mother-in-law's blacklist.
After breakfast, Diao Chan and Hao Zhenzhen went to the Hanfu Factory to do a live broadcast. Li Yu found two long bamboo poles, drove an electric tricycle, and led the whole family to the chestnut forest halfway up the mountain to start beating chestnuts.
Wu Song was energetic and felt that it was too troublesome to hit with a bamboo pole, so he climbed directly to the tree and shook the branches vigorously. The chestnuts immediately fell down like rain.
Everyone first picked the chestnuts into a pile, and then used tools to peel out the chestnuts inside.
Zhou Ruotong looked at this scene and remembered the first time she came to the B&B for dinner. At that time, Li Yu also made such a chestnut roast chicken, plus roasted chestnuts with sugar and hot chestnut drink, which immediately fascinated her. of.
Zhao Peimin said while working:
"My Tongtong likes to eat chestnuts the most. She has liked them since she was a child. She has bought almost all the stalls selling sugar-fried chestnuts in the Second Ring Road."
Zhang Ping said:
"Xiao Yu also likes to eat. Once, there was a man driving a motorcycle tricycle selling chestnuts in front of his house. He was very fast. By the time I went out, he was already far away. The child was rolling on the ground and crying. It was his father who rode his bicycle to catch up with the vendor and buy it. It’s only after a bagful that I can be coaxed.”
Li Yu: "..."
There is no need to mention this kind of thing. After all, I am the noble Son of God now. Mom, can’t you save some face for me?
After packing up the chestnuts, everyone returned to the B&B.
Li Yu is going to make sugar-fried chestnuts and hot chestnut drinks for the elders to try. Wu Song goes to the village at the foot of the mountain to buy two geese. In addition to roasting the whole lamb at noon, he will also make a Shunde famous dish of flamed drunken goose to experience the charm of Cantonese cuisine.
When Wu Song bought the goose, he also bought some wild vegetables that were dried in the village. It was a combination of meat and vegetables, which was in line with nutrition.
While Li Yu was busy, he did not forget to call Liu Xie over and asked him about Sun Facai's situation.
Liu Xie said:
"Teacher Sun went to Dean Zhang early this morning and packed some medicines to warm and strengthen the waist in the name of Mr. Fengxiao. He also said that he had lost all worldly desires."
Li Yu asked doubtfully:
"Has your intelligence work been so meticulous? Do you even know about the fake package of medicine?"
Liu Xie shook his head:
"It's not so detailed. The main reason we know is that Mr. Fengxiao also used Teacher Sun's name to get medicine. Their prescriptions were also used as medical school textbooks, and now everyone in the city knows about it."
Good guy, you are doing bad things under the guise of being a good friend, right?
It is very similar to the scene in high school when Sun Facai was caught skipping class and shouted that he was Li Yu. Li Yu, who was in class, was dragged to the teaching office to write an examination.
Li Yu said:
"It's the first anniversary of Sun Facai's time travel. Ask him what he wants and I can prepare it for him."
Liu Xie hurriedly went to the world in the book, and soon he came with Sun Facai’s mobile phone to hand over the errand:
"Teacher Sun recorded a selfie video and said it was for only Mr. Sun to see."
Oh, is it so mysterious?
Li Yu took the phone, sat on the electric tricycle in the warehouse, entered "178529" to unlock the password, clicked on the photo album, and saw the latest video, which was recorded a minute ago.
He clicked the play button, and Sun Facai's dark face appeared on the screen:
"Brother Yu, I didn't expect that you still remember the days when I traveled through time. It's been a year, and I have so many mixed feelings. I'm fine now, and Xiao Mao'er isn't making trouble. My father-in-law has been busy compiling some [since ancient times] documents recently, and Don’t worry about quarreling with me, live a happy life.”
This guy slapped his face for a while and pointed at his eyes to show off:
"Look, I go to bed early and get up early recently, and there are no dark circles under my eyes... Our family is quite harmonious, and the two concubines are also very sensible, but occasionally they are unable to do what they do, but I have already packed some under the banner of filial piety. If you take the medicine, you should be fine.”
This guy talked a lot, basically talking about everyday things.
After the video ended, Li Yu thought for a while, filled a twenty-liter plastic jug with tiger bone medicinal wine, and asked Liu Xie to bring it to Sun Facai.
Since you don’t want anything, then I, as the elder brother, should make up for your worldly desires, lest you turn around and become a part of Lingshan Mountain.
After Liu Xie left, Li Yu took out the grill and prepared to roast the lamb.
Zhou Ruotong and her two mothers ate roasted chestnuts with sugar, drank hot chestnut drinks, walked around the scenic spot, and paid homage to Nuwa Empress with the hot drinks in hand.
By the time we returned to the B&B again, lunch was almost ready.
Crispy roasted lamb, drunken goose with flames, roasted chicken with chestnuts, braised meat with wild vegetables, all kinds of delicacies dazzled everyone. Even Hao Zhenzhen and Diao Chan, who were live broadcasting, hurriedly left the broadcast after seeing the photos.
The live broadcast can be paused, but the food cannot be missed.
As soon as we arrived at the B&B, everyone was about to start eating. The second uncle Zhou Bingliang and the eldest brother Zhou Bingshan came to the B&B in Pang Donghai’s car. They laughed as soon as they got off the car:
"I know you're here to enjoy the food."
Zhou Bingren looked at the boss and the second brother who came hand in hand, and was a little confused:
"Aren't you going to the ancient tomb site of the Liao Kingdom in Liaoning? Why are you here?"
Zhou Bingliang said:
"When we were buying tickets, we saw Donghai in the name of the expert group, so we came over to find him. Anyway, we were on our way and happened to check out Xiaoyu's B&B."
Everyone: "..."
This is the first time I heard that going from Beijing to Liaoning is along the way with Yinzhou. These are basically two directions, okay?
Zhou Ruotong felt that Li Yu's ability to tell lies was as good as that of his second uncle. He didn't know if this was the fate of the two families.
On the day of the engagement, Zhou Bingshan did not come. Today's trip can be regarded as making up for the regret of the day.
Li Jianxin was thinking about eating meat and didn't plan to drink alcohol at first, but when Zhou Ruotong's eldest and second uncle came, he quickly opened a bottle of Maotai and said a lot of polite words.
Zhou Bingshan waved his hand and said:
"We are both family members, so you're welcome. Although Xiaoyu and I met late, we knew each other quite early. At that time, I thought he was the son-in-law of our Zhou family. I didn't expect that Tongtong would actually succeed."
Zhou Ruotong:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
How can you say that I covet his male sex?
Li Yu brought the roasted whole lamb up and was about to break it down with a knife when Zhou Bingren stopped him:
"Wait a minute, let me take a photo first to make you angry."
Zhou Ruotong asked:
"Why didn't Fourth Uncle come?"
"There is an artist seminar in the Lu Academy. He likes to join in the fun and goes to be a special guest."
Zhou Bingliang posted the photo to the family group and specially liked Zhou Binghou:
"Have a good meeting and I'll eat your share for you, you're welcome."
Zhou Binghou posted a contemptuous emoticon and showed off the lunch work meal, which consisted of two meat and two vegetarian dishes. It looked good, but when compared with the hard dishes here, the gap was obvious.
After everyone finished taking pictures, Li Yu broke down the sheep and handed a piece of pastry from the sheep's back to Zhou Bingshan, the oldest person present:
"Uncle, stay here for two days. I'll take you around."
Zhou Bingshan said:
"No, they're in a hurry. Let's take a rest after dinner, then take the high-speed train back to Beijing, and then transfer to Liaoning."
Just now Zhou Bingliang said it was on the way, but the boss exposed his tricks thoroughly in one sentence.
Li Jianxin advised:
"At least stay for one night, let's do our best to be a good host."
Zhou Bingren also said:
"Yes, stay for one night, and I'll give you some different meat to try in the evening."
Hearing this, Zhou Bingshan and Zhou Bingliang planned to stay for one night. Even Pang Donghai said that it was still in time to leave tomorrow morning. Anyway, when they got there, they would basically talk nonsense on the first day, and go to the tomb on the second day.
Everyone ate and talked. After Li Yu was full, he asked Dao Ge to call Yue Fei and booked a yellow sheep from this apprentice.
Yue Fei was very efficient. In less than two hours, he brought a skinned yellow sheep over. In the afternoon, it was stewed in a casserole, and everyone could enjoy the meat to their heart's content today.
While the B&B was enjoying the National Day holiday, the Three Kingdoms world was a different scene.
In the direction of Jizhou, Yuwen Chengdu solved the armed forces of the Yecheng family, confiscated a batch of land, collected some grain, and also recruited some local officials.
After Huang Zhong and Xun You recovered the surrounding counties, they led their troops directly to the neighboring Zhao State and Julu County, preparing to directly take the entire Jizhou into their pockets.
Ma Chao followed Yuan Shao all the way to the northeast, and during this period, many of Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops were ambushed and destroyed by Xu Rong.
It is said that Yuan Shao cried a lot, not only wrote letters to the princes for help, but also sent letters to the Yingchuan family, Jingxiang family, Jiangdong family, Xuzhou family, and some powerful families he looked down upon in the past, and completely lost the style and arrogance of the four generations of the Yuan family.
Frightened like a dog that lost its home, some neutral Jizhou families shook their heads secretly, thinking that such a Yuan Benchu was very different from the image that he had tried hard to maintain in the past, and the admiration in their hearts naturally dissipated a lot.
Yuwen Chengdu's proposition was to dispel the charm of Yuan Shao, but it was not only Yuan Shao's charm that was dispelled, but the charm of the entire Han family.
Even the leader Yuan family was so unbearable, and other families would naturally be greatly discounted.
When the world disenchanted the family, no matter what the court did, the resistance it encountered would become insignificant.
The great general from the top family of the Sui Dynasty, coupled with further studies in the real world, figured out a strategy that seemed simple, but it went straight to the core of the family.
While Hebei was killing people everywhere, Bingzhou was not to be outdone. Zhang Liao asked Zhang Yang to be in charge of spring plowing, while he led the cavalry army and started the northern expedition with Xu Shu.
Spring is the time when livestock on the grassland is in short supply. As long as they attack, they can reduce livestock production, and the number of livestock is directly related to the population of the grassland.
After the spring offensive began, Zhuge Xuan, Cheng Yu and other border governors also sent troops to attack the territories of Xianbei and Wuhuan.
Cheng Yu also wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan, inviting him to join the army, but was stopped by Liu Yu, who ordered Gongsun Zan not to attack the grassland people, otherwise he would be dismissed.
In the direction of Xuzhou, the good guy Tao Qian received a letter from Yuan Shao for help. He originally planned to keep his troops in place, but after receiving a series of letters for help, his good guy mentality broke out and he raised a batch of food and grass, ready to symbolically evade the former leader.
As a result, when the food was almost raised, it was looted by Yuan Shu's troops.
Now half of Runan County has been taken by Pang De, and the troops of Nanyang even formed a double-sided situation with Zhong Yao, one in the south and one in the north, to encircle Yingchuan County.
After Yuan Shu obtained the grain and grass, he led his army to attack Zhang Chao in Yangzhou, intending to occupy the local territory of Yangzhou and not to fight the troops of Nanyang head-on.
Seeing that the grain and grass were robbed by Yuan Shu, Tao Qian had to write a letter back to Yuan Shao.
Anyway, my grain and grass have entered the hands of your Yuan family. As for whether it is you, Yuan Shao or your brother Yuan Shu, it has nothing to do with me.
When they were exchanging letters, Cao Cao received a letter from Lu Bu to Qin Yilu. After reading "The Difficult Road to Shu", Ah Man burst into tears. He never thought that a warrior from the border would have such talent.
In addition to "The Difficult Road to Shu", Lu Bu also wrote "Ku Han Xing".
This was a poem written by Cao Cao when he crossed Yangchangban to conquer Gao Gan of Bingzhou. Now it was copied by Lu Bu in advance. Seeing Ah Man, he felt like he was living in the shadow of Wen Hou.
After reading the two poems, Ah Man's favorable impression of Lu Bu rose sharply, and he even had the urge to fight side by side with Lu Bu.
It must be very pleasant to work with such a talented and elegant person... Cao Cao withdrew all his troops from Chenliu and began to attack Taishan County, preparing to quietly erode the territory of Qingzhou while Yuan Shao was fleeing.
When Qin Yilu came to deliver the letter, Xu Chu mentioned that he wanted to kill Lu Bu again. As the former captain of the personal guards, Qin Yilu drew his sword on the spot and wanted to fight Xu Chu to the death. He also said that if he died, Xu Chu's family would be pulled out and cut into pieces by the Bingzhou Army even if they hid at the ends of the earth.
When the two armies fought, everyone served their respective masters, but if it developed into a personal feud, the Bingzhou Army would not let go of any potential enemy, even if your child was born with an eighth-level disability, he would be eradicated to eliminate the hidden dangers.
After these harsh words were released, although Xu Chu was still cursing, his momentum was obviously weaker.
Cao Cao scolded Xu Chu and wrote a letter back. However, he did not talk about the current situation, but discussed poetry and literary talent. After the letter was written, Ah Man sent Qin Yilu out politely.
One of the three famous Caos in the literary world became Lü Wenhou's pen pal.
On the other side, the world of Journey to the West.
After running around day and night, the team finally arrived at the junction of Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou - Liusha River.
Wukong flew into the air, looked at the eight hundred miles wide water surface, and said with some worry:
"His Majesty Shimin said he wanted to fight to the foot of Lingshan Mountain. How can this army march?"
Xuanzang turned over and dismounted, looked at the rolling river water where no goose feather could float, and straightened his monk's clothes:
"His Royal Highness the Holy Son told me that when he arrived at the Liusha River, he would make some attempts. I will go and report it. His Royal Highness the Holy Son is full of tricks. Maybe he has already made a plan..."
