Qin Mo's words were not alarmist. At this time, everyone was on the same boat, prospering and losing. The family ministers of Hengyang Jun knew Zhang Liang's talent and intelligence. Even though they had some complaints about him, they were willing to respect him.

But once the family and descendants of Hengyang Junzhi's family are gathered together, it is hard to say what happens in the future. After all, internal struggles and other things are also one of the main themes of history!

Zhang Liang smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, and said, "It depends on Hengyang Jun's descendants. Is it worth my assistance?"

"A true king will not waste his great cause because of personal grudges."

"If there is a monarch who can accomplish great things among the descendants of the gentleman of Hengyang, even if he suspects that I am hiding you, he will only be magnanimous or tolerant and comfort me."

"After the foundation is successful, the monarch may settle Zhang Liang's faults, or he may continue to be the lord, sages, and wise men. Zhang Liang can accept it calmly."

"On the contrary, if the descendants of Hengyang gentlemen have no scheming and cannot tolerate Zhang Liang hiding you, and they will shout and kill you when they come up. Then Zhang Liang can give up and seek assistance from the Korean royal family."

"The Hengyang Jun's lineage is now in a diminishing state, and Baiyue also has three hundred servants. I can't stop them even if I want to leave..."

Qin Mo suddenly stopped talking. This was Zhang Liang's test of the future monarch, and it was understandable that the best of both worlds!

...

Qin Mo and Lu Zhi worked hard for an hour after a Spring Festival meal, and it was almost dark before the work was over.

Zhang Liang's retainers and Hengyangjun's retainers were all so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. In the end, Paijiu had no intention of playing, and was eager to wait for the food to serve.

However, the waiting is worth it, and the food is so rich that it is beyond everyone's imagination!

"You guys, you have to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Let's first cushion a bowl of sour soup dumplings."

Qin Mo adhered to the pragmatic tradition of first eating staple food in this era, and served each person a bowl of dumplings.

Zhang Liang looked at the sour soup dumplings in the bowl, but looked at Qin Mo with a curiosity-seeking look.

The swordsmen also didn't move their chopsticks, just waiting for Qin Mo to answer.

During these days, Qin Mo always cooks some unseen food and always explains it to everyone. It has become a routine.

Qin Mo and Lu Zhi each put a bowl on each and started eating first, and said while eating: "I found a bag of wheat flour in the bottom warehouse, and added water to knead it. Then he rolled it into thin slices with a wooden stick, wrapped the filling and stewed it."

"The filling is fresh shrimp and crabs. They only chopped the fat paste into a paste, and added green onion and ginger to supplement it."

"It is the soup used for stewing. It is also the sea cucumbers that Brother Kui went to the sea yesterday. He cooked them overnight. It was extremely delicious in the soup. When it was released, it added sour vinegar and spicy oil to enhance the flavor."

"The refreshing shrimp dumplings accompanied by sour soup, and the gods are reluctant to make them after a bite!"

Zhang Liang and the swordsmen listened to the story and couldn't help swallowing their saliva frequently. When they saw that he had eaten half a bowl, he was not surprised, so they no longer hesitated and each served the bowl and prepared it, and the soup was poured on.

Qin Mo brought out a bowl of prepared vinegar sauce dipping sauce next to him and continued: "This dumpling, also known as flat food, or Jiaoer, has different names in the north and south, and different ways to eat it. Drain it and dip it in a mixed sauce, which will make it a different taste..."

"Hmph~!"

Seeing that he was busy for a long time and was still in vain, the ministers of Hengyang Jun snorted coldly.

He now knew that when Qin Mo first joined the army and had not yet made a fortune, he was not used to pre-Qin food and often took the initiative to work on the whole team's food.

The meals of dozens of people on the ship are not considered a chore for Qin Mo!

"Suck, ha... Junhou has started making up stories again."

Zhang Liang sipped the sour soup and refuted Qin Mo: "As far as I know, this wheat flour was when Jun Hou was expeditioning the Hu people outside the border, and he ordered the tyrannical Qin Shaofu to make a stone mill before it began to spread in Guanzhong."

"The only way to cook wheat flour that has spread from Guanzhong is noodles and bread. I have never heard of this dumpling.

"So, there are no such many sayings from the south and the north. Don't talk nonsense and deceive us with shallow knowledge!"

Qin Mo reached out and snatched his bowl: "It's all right if you don't eat it, but you can't block your mouth even if you eat it."

Zhang Liang hurriedly took the bowl and dodged away, took the other side of the table, and dipped it in a mixed vinegar sauce to taste.

When the swordsmen saw Qin Mo being exposed, they laughed and picked up shrimp dumplings to dip them in vinegar sauce. It was rare to get pregnant quickly.

After the dumplings are finished, it will be a real seafood feast!

Stir-fried sea cucumber with onion, steamed sea crabs, sweet and sour flower fish, spicy braised shrimp, fried yellow croaker with scallion...

There are also various sea dishes collected when passing by the island, cold stir-frying, pickling, and stewing...

Zhang Liang and the swordsmen ate the ditch and the trench were full of flat food, and they were amazed, and they only regretted that there was no good wine to accompany each other!

Qin Mo finally brought out a pot of steamed white flour steamed buns, and each person handed them one by one: "You can't be rude during the New Year, don't be so shabby."

This is a custom of the northerners in later generations. Steaming big buns during the Chinese New Year is a must-have for visiting relatives and friends.

In fact, there should be jujube flowers, but that thing was used by my daughter when she returned to her parents' home, and Qin Mo didn't have that skill.

Zhang Liang was so amused that he received the big buns. He bowed and smiled and said, "Your Majesty speaks one New Year's Day, right?!"

The so-called Xia Li is probably the origin of the lunar calendar, and the Xia Dynasty also celebrates the New Year Festival on the first lunar month.

Qin Mo did not explain, and took a big bun from Lu Zhi and gave it to Zhang Liang's greedy servant Kui: "Brother Kui, don't think it's shabby."

Kui hurriedly bowed and thanked him, but after taking the big bun and taking a look, a vulgar look appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Jun, this steamed wheat flour ball, was made from the breasts of that woman, and it was really both physical and spiritual!"

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo looked at the big bun, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The steamed bun is also dotted with a date picked from the island, which is more than just a combination of form and spirit.

Thinking about that, it can make the baby drool so greedy!

Qin Mo turned his head and took a big bun from Lu Zhi again, and gave it to the retainers next to him... and glanced at Lu Zhi.

Well, it’s a little better than the eldest princess, but far worse than that girl Yu Ji!

Lu Zhi: "..."

Lu Zhi looked down at herself, then looked at the big bun in her hand, and felt a sense of inferiority in her heart.

Bah, it turns out that it’s true that a man can think of good food, so shameful!

...

One by one, the big buns were quickly given away by Qin Mo. Even those retainers of Hengyang Jun did not refuse, but just gave a stern face and did not thank him.

After the big buns were distributed, the banquet came to an end. Everyone swept all the remaining mats and stood up with their stomachs. They had no intention of gambling cards and playing money, so they went back to the cabin to rest one after another.

When a person is full, the gastrointestinal motility will accelerate, and the brain stools will be insufficient, making him prone to sleepiness.

Qin Mo and Lu Zhi started to clean up, clean the pot and wash dishes after sea water. Kui, who was responsible for guarding the two, also helped.

After some busy schedule, the two returned to their own cabin to rest.

"This is a big bun I specially kept, and I also picked up cold kelp. Are you hungry?"

Qin Mo took out a bun wrapped in linen from the sleeve of the robe to prepare for the midnight snack and asked Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi shook Zhen's head lightly, indicating that she would not eat the shameful food. She also held Qin Mo's hand and refused to let him eat it.

Qin Mo smiled and explained helplessly: "Sister, don't make trouble. I am still in the recovery period and have a lot of demand for food. What I just ate has been digested. I am really hungry."

"And, food is food, there are not many messy associations!"

He said, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi: "..."

Is it good to pretend to be a gentleman?

Are you looking like a messy association?

Lu Zhi was speechless, but she shook her head again, pressed his hand, and gently wrote a word in his palm.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Because the words written by Lu Zhi on his palm were clearly the word "poison"!

These days, fishing boats sail along the coast, occasionally encountering islands, or simply selecting barren coastal areas to stop.

At that time, everyone on the boat would land on the island, look for fresh water, hunt some wild animals and pick some fresh wild vegetables.

Qin Mo, wearing shackles, was naturally not allowed to get off the boat. He could only look at the land and imagine the feeling of being down-to-earth.

However, Zhang Liang and the swordsmen were not very strict with Lu Zhi, a virtuous and weak woman. They often asked her to get off the boat and pick wild vegetables.

After all, women are always more capable than a group of rough men who dance swords and swords, especially those who are as virtuous as Lu Zhi. The results of picking one person can be more than enough to match ten swordsmen.

The swordsmen will check and pick the wild vegetables picked by Lu Zhi, and store them if they know that they can eat wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables I didn't know turned around and threw them into the sea, telling her not to pick them next time!

...

Qin Mo broke open the big buns with cold kelp, pointed to the cold kelp inside, and pointed to the big buns.

Lu Zhi could understand his meaning, so she pointed to the big bun and shook her head, indicating that the poison was in the bun.

Qin Mo was really shocked. This old girl was meticulous. The other food and dishes at the dinner today were made in one pot.

Zhang Liang and the swordsmen were on guard against him and always had to wait for him to eat first before he was willing to eat.

Only this big bun is steamed in one pot, but Qin Mo can't take a bite of it first.

Moreover, the big bun was arranged to be served on the table at the end. It was the time when Zhang Liang and the swordsmen were at the lowest level. When the gift was given, it was Lu Zhi holding it. The poisonous one was not poisonous, only she knew it in her heart!

"You...If you don't eat, I'll eat it myself."
