The first thousand three hundred fifty-nine chapters snow hot pot
The dance is over.
The sound of bells and cauldrons does not exist, the music of silk and bamboo does not appear, and ten beauties stand in two rows, standing in a pavilion.
Zhou Qing looked at Zhao Tuo, pointed at the ten people in front of him, and looked over with a smile. At Zhao Tuo's current age, his body has grown up and his roots are strong, but the iron-blooded energy still exists in his body at this moment.
With the fusion of beauty and beauty, you can quickly adapt to the atmosphere here in Xianyang.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"These beauties are of course very good, but the people of Zhao Tuo's army and barbarians, their life and death are not related to themselves, it all depends on Haotian's hanging curtain, so I don't dare to think too much about it."
Suddenly hearing Marquis Wu Zhen's words, Zhao Tuo looked startled, and then felt a little shy.
Those beauties are naturally very beautiful.
There is a Confucian saying that Zhao Tuo thinks is right: food and sex are the same.
Naturally, I want beauties, but... this is not the time to want beauties. I have been practicing in Longxi and other counties for several years, and now I am back in Xianyang, and it is officially time to continue to work hard.
"Hahaha, after staying in Longxi for these years, I have learned this."
"Some improvement!"
"Beauty is naturally good, and it is suitable for you, but... I don't insist on it. At present, there are Qi and Chu in the Xia."
"There are more beauties in the palaces of the two countries and in the royal city. This time... Xianyang will transfer them back, and they should let you join the Lantian army to plan for great things next year."
Regarding the news of Zhao Tuo's sudden return, Zhou Qing really didn't know it in advance, but even if he didn't know it in advance, he could still understand it with a little thought.
Zhao Tuo had stayed in Longxi and Hexi for a long time, and he had enough experience. Moreover, Feng Quji had a high opinion of Zhao Tuo, and the assessments at Guowei Mansion were also excellent.
In a few years, it will be time to return to Xianyang.
"That's what I meant."
Zhao Tuo nodded. With the status of Marquis Wu Zhen, even if he didn't say anything, he could easily browse through the mansion of the Imperial Guard. There were many files and documents in the Imperial Palace, and nothing was hidden.
Next year, when Qin attacks Qi and Chu, he will join Lantian's army, lead a group of soldiers and horses, and help him. That will be the beginning of... his meritorious service.
"An attack on Qi and Chu cannot be tolerated by any country."
"Zhao Tuo, fight well."
Zhou Qing gave a message.
There is no need to doubt Zhao Tuo's ability to lead troops. After experiencing the Guowei Mansion and Longxi, he should have gained something. As expected, he will definitely be promoted to the level of a general in the army after experiencing Qi Chu again.
Reaching the current level of Li Xin and others.
"I should live up to your Majesty's expectations, and I should live up to the expectations of Marquis Wu Zhen!"
Zhao Tuo nodded again.
Just as he was talking, Yun Shu had already led some maids to display all kinds of delicacies.
"You don't need to worry too much today, just use it with ease."
He nodded towards Zhao Tuo.
"Here!"
Zhao Tuo salutes.

"Sir, I wonder how the Qin court will judge Qi Chu next year?"
After bowing his hands deeply, a young man wearing a simple linen robe looked in front of him. His face was not particularly handsome, and he was walking on the street like an ordinary person.
Ahead, there... a man in rich brocade clothes was sitting quietly. He looked middle-aged, with his hair tied up and crowned. Although he was just quietly sipping fragrant tea, his silent elegance was flowing.
"Xianyang is getting more and more bustling now, why don't you stay in Xianyang?"
"This is a big risk."
Putting down the jade cup in his hand, his eyes fell on that person. The person who came to meet him was different every time, but... the purpose was the same every time.
Luo Wen has many spies around his residence. After all the events over the past few years, the king is also suspicious of himself, although he is not deposed from his position as prime minister.
However... what happens next is unknown.
I heard that Li Si is going one step further!
He is really an outstanding person.
"My lord, please rest assured. Before I take any action, I should consider it for your lord. It has already taken two months for me to enter the mansion this time."
"I'm afraid it will take a long time next time."
The man bowed his hands deeply again.
In the west city of Xianyang, Luowang has more eyes, so it is not easy for their manpower to get in and out. Fortunately, the farmers have penetrated deep into the roots of Zhuxia, and there are people in all industries.
Although it is difficult to find a safe route into the house without suspicion... it can still be done.
"The central government has not concluded the theory of Qi Chu next year, and the king has not yet made up his mind."
"Maybe it's Qi!"
"Maybe it's Chu!"
"You guys came too early. Maybe we won't know until after the meeting."
Xiong Qi sighed.
I also want to know the answer, but...at present, there is no definite answer in Xianyang. There are rumors that they will attack the weak Qi State first.
There are also rumors of attacking Chu!
But...who knows?
"grown ups,……."
The man wanted to continue saying something.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiong Qi.
"Qi Qi knows exactly what to do."
"You don't need to say anything."
He knew what the person in front of him and the person behind him wanted to do, but... they were too impatient. Things here in Xianyang were not as simple as they imagined.
"yes!"
Hearing this, the man stopped talking.
After burning the incense, the man disguised himself as an ordinary servant and left the house, entered Xianyang South City, and disappeared.
…
"Father, it's very cold outside. It's almost the winter festival."
Seeing her father standing alone in the cool breeze in the courtyard, Xiao Mi was wearing a thick red dress and a pair of soft leather high boots, trotting forward. After several years, she had become as mature as a hibiscus.
.
When I walked to my father's side, I didn't know why he was in the cool breeze, but it was very cold here.
"Father, the doctor said that mother is about to give birth. I don't know if it will be a younger brother or a younger sister this time."
With an innocent smile on her face, Xiao Mi Lian stayed beside her father and looked at where her mother was. The doctor said...next year, she will have a younger brother or younger sister.
It's really a good thing.
That's why my father doesn't look happy.
"Then... do you like your younger brother or your younger sister?"
Xiong Qi was speechless, and Lian'er's voice pulled him out of his meditation. No matter what, what was supposed to come would surely come, and there was not much he could do.
"Well..., I like them all."
Xiao Mi Lian narrowed her lovely eyes, tilted her head and thought about it, she liked it all.
"Come on, let's go see your mother."
"With this weather, I'm afraid there will be heavy snowfall in the next two days."
Xiong Qi took his daughter's little hand, with a slight smile on his face, and walked in the other direction of the house. It was time for Lian'er and the others to make arrangements and rectify them in advance.
"good."
Xiao Mi Lian was very happy.
This winter day seems to be getting colder and colder. It has not even reached winter yet, but the cold wind is blowing and the rain is falling like ice.
If it snows heavily, it will probably be even colder here in Xianyang.
The next day.
Sure enough, the entire Guanzhong land was filled with goose feathers. In just one day, the entire Guanzhong land turned into a snow-white world. Under such heavy snow, Guanzhong became very quiet.
"Sir, you were right. After the cream was prepared by Sister Nongyu, just a few days after it was put on the market... Tiantianju was fully booked every day."
"Those cooks can't rest for twelve hours a day."
"It's just..., that thing is really delicious."
Outside the window, heavy snow is still flying, and Xianyang is a little deserted, but it is just a little deserted. For Xianyang Nancheng, it is still as lively as it should be.
In recent months, due to Yan Lingji's talent as a chef and her hard work, she has put up many good things for Tiantianju. Every time she puts them on the market, the next day... she is full of customers.
Secret beef!
Lamb stew!
Secret mutton!
Secret pork!
Secret chicken!
…
There are also some snacks made from grains, such as the long-term steamed buns, which Nongyu tried for a while, but it only took two days.
Zhou Qing saw that very familiar big steamed bun. It was listed on Tianranju and became popular in Guanzhong. He didn't hold back on how to make it and announced it directly.
Zhou Qing thought it was very good, at least it greatly enriched the Guanzhong cuisine system.
It's a pity that some strange spices are not easy to find, otherwise the small stove hot pot with this characteristic would taste better, but Evodia can barely play a role.
Next to a square wooden table, there were only two people in the side hall, Zhou Qing and Yun Shu.
Naturally, the small stove hot pot is also listed under the Natural House, which is a must-order item for anyone entering the Natural House these days, plus prepared mutton, beef, vegetables and so on.
In the cold winter, it is definitely a pleasure.
It is really not difficult for Yan Lingji to set up a formation, cover it with a magnetic field of fire, supplement it with mystical principles, nourish it with the vitality of heaven and earth, and grow it in a short time.
Even though the amount is too small, it’s good to be able to eat it.
"Although that food is good, don't eat too much... Look at those cooks, even though they only have two or three hours of rest a day, they are getting fatter and fatter."
"Someday, if you are greedy for that food, you might end up like those fat cooks."
Zhou Qing picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, put it in a small hot pot, rinsed it, and put it in his mouth. Well,...it tasted really good. Then he picked up a piece of secret beef and stuffed it into his mouth. It was also good.
Yan Lingji added this skill point, and Zhou Qing appreciated it very much.
You should be able to continue digging next.
"Hehe, no, Yun Shu has to practice for an hour every time after eating."
Yun Shu sat next to him obediently, also holding chopsticks and eating. It was nice that he and the young master were the only two people in the side hall today, although it seemed a little quiet.
"I wonder how Sister Nongyu and Sister Yanling are doing in the palace?"
"Sir, when Mrs. Na Li summoned Sister Nongyu these two or three times, she even summoned Sister Yanling. She said she wanted to learn how to cook, but... Shangshifang also has the secret recipe that Tianranju has."
Today, Sister Nongyu and Sister Yanling were summoned into Xianyang Palace by the palace servants sent by Madam Li, who said they wanted to learn how to make Tianju's exquisite snacks.
For such reasons, it is naturally impossible to reject it.
So Sister Nongyu went there, and counting the time, they only went there for an hour. According to the usual practice, they usually came back after three hours.
That's it... Mrs. Li wants to learn how to play the piano, and it won't be a problem for Sister Nongyu to enter the palace.
When it comes to...the art of cooking, Shangshifang has everything that Tianranju puts on the market every time, and even the finished products, so the people at Shangshifang should have been proficient in it for a long time.
