In modern times, many people hate late-night snacks. They are both fat and harmful to the body, but they cannot resist the temptation of delicious food, so they have cultivated one fat person after another.

In the Han Dynasty, people were not very taboo about midnight snacks, because being able to eat midnight snacks was already a very happy thing, and they didn’t care whether they were fat or not.

Moreover, the dietary structure of the Han Dynasty was very single, first of all, there was not even the most basic oil... Even if a wealthy family had meat at home, the taste was absolutely incomparable to later generations.

One reason was that there was no concept of stir-frying in the Han Dynasty, and first of all, I couldn’t find such a suitable iron pot... The most basic thing was that there was little oil and I couldn’t stir-fry the pot at all. Second, I couldn’t find any auxiliary ingredients such as green onion, ginger and garlic. Even if I had all the ingredients, there was no light soy sauce or dark soy sauce to color the meat. The most important seasoning in roasted pork... sugar! It’s not as complete as every household can prepare.

Therefore, if you want to travel back to the Han Dynasty to be a chef and open a restaurant, the most basic condition is that you have to bring a supermarket to travel back together.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, just keeps them away from the kitchen, a place of killing, but this does not mean that the high-level tyrants of this era will not cook... Because cooking in the Han Dynasty is too simple, there are only a few things and a few condiments, and most of the meals are mainly stewed and roasted, so any individual who has a little contact with them will basically cook.

Cai Yan is no exception, it is just a matter of whether it is delicious or not.

The dishes Cai Yan cooked were relatively simple and light. Soon, she brought a few side dishes to Liu Qi. She handed the chopsticks to Liu Qi and smiled and said, "Try it."

Liu Qi stretched out his chopsticks and picked it up.

To be honest, in this era, it is very delicious, but compared with the tastes in later generations, it is really much worse.

Since Liu Qi traveled back to the Han Dynasty, he has been particularly missing the spicy hot pot in his previous life for many years, but unfortunately he has been unable to eat it again in this life.

Cai Yan took another pot of turbid wine to the table in front of Liu Qi and filled it with him.

"The Duke is too tired tonight, so I'd better take a break earlier. After finishing the official business tomorrow, we will continue to review the remaining chapters."

Liu Qi gently touched his nose with his hands.

He really wanted to tell Cai Yan... I really don't want to continue lighting the lamp and boiling oil with you.

You guys who work in the academy can publish the same way as you should. Why do you ask me about these broken manuscripts?

Thinking of this, Liu Qi picked up the wine in his hand, took a sip, and then sighed: "Zhao Ji, I think this matter..."

"This matter was specially arranged by Liu Jingzhou to do Yan'er. If it cannot be completed, Yan'er will not be able to return to Jingzhou to report."

The muscles on Liu Qi's face twitched and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

He raised his head in depression and drank the wine of Juezhong.

Cai Yan covered his mouth and chuckled, saying, "Mr., look at your appearance, you seem to be quite sad?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I am not worried, but I am not very happy anyway."

Cai Yan smiled and said, "I think I'm tired from coming to the mansion today, so let's review it first...you can talk about something else."

While picking up food, Liu Qi said, "What are you talking about?"

Cai Yong held his chin with both hands, then supported his elbows on the table, and smiled and said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Liu Qi held the wine cup, rolled his eyes and said, "You just said that Mrs. Lu had calculated the prophecies and divination for you during the day today?"

Cai Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Qi asked gossip: "What did you forget?"

Cai Yan tilted his head slightly and looked at Liu Qi with a lot of fun: "What is Lu's worth for me? It's all my own business. Why should the Duke ask?"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Liu Qi poured himself another wine: "We can talk about something else."

"No!" Cai Yan suddenly changed his mind again. She smiled and said to Liu Qi: "I'll tell the mansion."

Liu Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

This little girl actually wants to make fun of me?

Cai Yan turned his fingers and said seriously: "Actually, Lu and Yan'er have never said much. They just made a fortune and calculated the future of Yan Jun and Yan'er."

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this.

He raised his head and took a sip of wine, sighed, "People who are good at prophecies and divination must be good at speculating on people's hearts. Lu also knows that you are currently wandering in Jingchu, while Cai Zhonglang is trapped in Chang'an. The father and daughter are separated and cannot meet each other. The future is uncertain. Especially Cai Zhonglang is still in the pit of tigers and wolfs, so he uses these two things to win your favor."

Cai Yan sighed and said, "To be honest, I hope that what Lu calculated is true."

Liu Qi smiled and asked, "How did Lu and you calculate?"

Cai Yan thought for a while and said, "For Jiayan, what Lu said was that he was in the pit of a tiger and wolf. If he was rescued by noble people, he could turn danger into safety. He should go to the land of fire and virtue to the land of water virtue."

Liu Qi hummed, but didn't say anything.

This is clearly nonsense. From Cai Zhaoji's perspective, if she wants to reunite with Cai Yong, she must have Jingzhou who has to find a way to rescue Cai Yong and then send it to Xiangyang. If this matter is done, everyone knows that Cai Yong will inevitably turn the danger into safety, so she should say it?

Liu Qi asked again: "What about the other one? What about your future?"

Cai Yan's face suddenly turned red.

She coughed gently and said as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing big, it's just that I can find a husband who is satisfied with me."

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows lightly.

"What kind of husband?" Liu Qi seemed to want to break the casserole and ask to the end.

But Cai Yan refused to say anything.

After the midnight snack, Cai Yan advised Liu Qi to go back and rest, but Liu Qi looked at the sky and felt that he could not sleep for a long time, so he simply stayed up all night and continued to review the manuscript with Cai Yan.

This review is just one night.

It was not until the next morning that Liu Qi and Cai Yan walked out of the study room after it was already dawn.

Along the way, the two continued to study the contents of the manuscript discussed last night.

Cai Yan and Liu Qi walked side by side, turned their heads and asked, "Mr. Fu, do you think that starting from the 11th volume of the Book of Han, should Liu Xuan and others be the first, or should the four kings and three marquis of the royal family be the first?

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "Please use Liu Xuan. After all, he is an important figure before Guangwu, so it is more appropriate to use him."

Cai Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yan'er also felt so."

After saying that, she turned to look at Liu Qi and said in confusion: "I don't know why, but I always feel that when I'm with Fujun, my thinking will be smoother..."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "This is what is called matching between men and women, and you don't have to work."

Cai Yan laughed "Puchi".

At this moment, Wei Yan came in a hurry and saw the two of them walking out of Liu Qi's study at the same time, and he was stunned.

Early in the morning, what's going on?

But he quickly recovered his calmness, hurried forward, and whispered to Liu Qi: "Mr., there is news about King Chen and others in the north."
Chapter completed!
