Taking Zhen Mi into the back house, Liu Xiang saw what sisterly love is.
Hearing that the little girl had been waiting in the cold wind outside the gate all afternoon without even being fed, Zhen Jiang grabbed her sister's ears in distress and spanked her, making her scream.
Looking at the little guy eating while dropping the golden beans, Liu Xiang smiled happily.
The two maids around Zhen Mi were also beaten. They deceived the family together, saying they were coming to Liu Xiang's house to play, but they ended up waiting outside the door. The weather in early February was not warm. If they got typhoid fever, they would die.
.
Six-year-old children are not sensible, so it would be wrong for them to follow suit.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
The bamboo board was used to spank his buttocks. Liu Xiang saw that the board was not big and the maid who did it did not use much force. At most, the pain would be a lesson for a few days, so she did not stop him. Zhen Jiang was exercising the authority of the eldest daughter of Zhen. At this time, it was
Not easy to interrupt.
After the meal was finished, I was taught a lesson, and the ingredients ordered were prepared, including iced sea cucumber, eel, eel, Yellow River carp with fish roe, and hazel grouse.
These were prepared a few days ago. I wonder if the taste will be affected after freezing for a few days?
Liu Xiang smiled to himself as he looked at little Zhen Mi poking and touching around the food table. Is this a white lie? But lying to a six-year-old child made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.
.
Forget it, let’s cook first. You have to do what you promised.
She summoned a cook with excellent knife skills and prepared it for herself in the small kitchen next to Zhen Jiang's room. She first defrosted it with cold water, then removed the skin and flesh of the flying dragon, and used only the skeleton to stew the soup. Add a little salt and simmer.
One hour.
During this period, the eel is blanched, the body is cut open, and only the eel blood in the belly is taken for later use.
Remove the meat from the eel and slice it into thin fillets.
Remove the internal organs of the sea cucumber, clean it, drain the water, and cut the skin into even thin strips.
Take the seeds from the carp and wash them with clean water.
Of course, whether it's cooking or other things, it's an old rule that if you use your mouth, others will do it, and the cook is no exception.
Liu Xiang sat on the bed leaning against the wall, waiting quietly.
He was tired and didn't want to move.
The making process of Wulong soup is very simple. After Feilong stews the soup, add other ingredients to the filtered clear soup, then add shredded green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, and simmer for a quarter of an hour.
Two hours later, Liu Xiang, who was about to fall asleep, was woken up and tasted a spoonful of the newly baked Wulong soup. The aroma of the flying dragon, the tenderness of the eel, the gelatinous texture of the sea cucumber, and the carp roe exploded in his mouth.
, the flavors of the five ingredients overlap and influence each other.
Eel with sea cucumber is one taste, combination with fish roe is another taste, sea cucumber with eel blood is another taste, the taste changes endlessly in the mouth, under the tolerance of Feilong soup, it blends into one, and it is layer by layer.
fragrant!
fresh!
The indescribable deliciousness stimulates the taste buds and makes people want to continue tasting.
However, I couldn't take another bite.
Zhen Mi, a domineering little girl, only allowed everyone to take one bite, including herself, who did not take a second bite. Although she was drooling, she firmly covered the lid of the clay pot with determination.
She had to take it back to her father before midnight.
As for whether it won't taste good when it's cold, and whether her biological daughter will pry open the coffin board of her biological father, let Mrs. Zhen worry about it herself.
Liu Xiang was too lazy to care.
It was now about ten o'clock in the evening, and it was still more than half an hour before midnight. Zhen Mi was in a hurry to leave. Zhen Jiang was afraid that something might happen, so he decided to send her home in person, mainly because he was afraid of her father's coffin board.
I was really blown away by the little guy.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Then, Liu Xiang fell out.
Therefore, he decided to sneak attack Miss Zhaoji in the middle of the night.
The young lady was angry when she got up, but she was very tired.
The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiang was woken up by someone.
There is an envoy from the jujube coalition asking to see you.
The man who came was named Zang Hong, a meritorious official from Guangling County.
Zang Hong was well-known among the scholars. He entered Imperial College at the age of fifteen and was famous in Luoyang for his talent and learning. At the age of twenty, he was promoted to be a filial and honest official and became the third minister. Along with Liu Yao and Wang Lang, he was selected as the county magistrate.
It is said that after serving as an official for several terms, he was loved by the people and had a good official reputation.
Last year, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he resigned and returned to his hometown of Guangling. He was recruited by Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, and became a meritorious official. All the affairs of the county were entrusted to him.
Later, Dong Zhuo became more and more ambitious, so Zang Hong persuaded Zhang Chao to raise an army to fight against the thieves. The two raised 20,000 soldiers and horses, went north to Chenliu, found Zhang Chao's brother Zhang Miao, and prepared to persuade him to raise an army together. At that time, Qiao
Mao Cai has just issued the edict of the Three Lords.
The first person to raise troops to fight against Dong's alliance was actually Zang Hong and Zhang Chao. When the Jujube Alliance formed an alliance, he was also on the stage to take the oath.
This person came to see him, and he didn't know what he would say. Liu Xiang was very interested.
I met him at the front office without even eating.
But the first sentence was off-putting, and Zang Hong actually reprimanded him.
"Liu Shijun is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Dong's thieves disrupted the government and killed the young emperor, but he was indifferent and instead withdrew his troops. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"I don't think so!" Liu Xiang replied in his heart, you guys are cowering in jujube and not moving, how can you have the nerve to criticize me? You are a double-standard dog.
"If Zang Ziyuan has something to say, he might as well speak it outright. Why should he be like a sophistry and deceive others when he opens his mouth?"
"Liu Shijun has an army of 100,000, how can he just sit back and watch Dong's thieves wreak havoc on the court? Why don't you join forces with us and send out troops to attack the thieves and restore peace to the world." Zang Hong's words were full of emotion and righteousness. If it weren't for the jujube coalition forces, they would have remained stationary.
Liu Xiang will really be moved by him.
"I have sent troops to the north bank of the Yellow River and killed the traitor Li Ru. What have you done? I heard that there is a daily banquet in Suanzao. Why do you have the nerve to come here to see me? Why should I form an alliance with a bunch of drunkards? Why do you think you are such a party?
Liquor and rice bag?"
Liu Xiang was not polite at all. He disliked Zang Hong a little. His reputation was probably touted by the scholars.
These words were just like pointing at someone's nose and swearing, except for a few dirty words emblazoned in them, but Zang Hong couldn't refute it. What they said were all facts. He felt ashamed and really wanted to hide his face and leave. However, the jujube coalition army was short of food, so he
I'm here to ask for food. The task is difficult, so I can't just leave without saying anything.
We can only defend ourselves by saying: "The leader of the alliance, Yuan Benchu, has not yet arrived. We cannot mobilize our troops without permission. The troops are in danger and the battle is dangerous. All the ministries cannot coordinate in a unified way and are easily defeated by the enemy. If they fall into the sand, it will only encourage the thieves to be fierce. Then
It goes against the original intention of hunting down thieves."
This may scare some people, but it won't fool Liu Xiang. If he doesn't dare to fight, he just says he doesn't dare to fight. He makes so many excuses to appeal to Dong Alliance for their own ideas, and even if Yuan Shao comes, they won't be able to unify.
"Then you just wait for Yuan Benchu to arrive. Don't worry, I won't send troops to fight you. After all, we are all righteous soldiers. Although we are a little timid, we will not lose our integrity." Liu Xiang
Making sarcastic remarks is actually just to make people less popular.
He originally thought that there would be some good suggestions from the jujube side, and that the celebrity Zang Hong would have some wonderful plans. But now it seems that the name is not worthy of the name, and there is no advantage to be taken, so he is not interested in continuing the discussion.
Do you want to trick him into sending troops? He is not a fool like Sun Jian. He will be so stupid that he will fight for you.
I want to eat shit!
Zang Hong still wanted to save face, and could not say the next words anymore, so he hid his face and fled in despair.
Looking at it this way, this person is not bad, at least he knows how to be ashamed.
"Come here, order Sima Zuo of the infantry battalion to take four thousand infantrymen south to Chaoge, cooperate with the Hu cavalry battalion, and keep an eye on Wang Kuang in Hanoi."
"Taishici was ordered to bring Yunfanying's new warships, and after the river was unblocked, they entered the Yellow River, with Liyang as the center, to inspect the upstream and downstream."
"Instruct Guan Yu to build a water fortress in Liyang and wait for reinforcements from Tai Shici."
Liu Xiang once again strengthened the defense on the southern front.
Since July of the previous year, full-size galleys, with iron birch as the keel and bottom, have been manufactured.
The length of the ship is twelve feet, the width is one foot and eight feet, the side of the ship is three feet high, and the empty ship enters the water by one foot and four feet. When converted to modern standards, it is 28 meters long, 4 meters wide, the ship's side is 7 meters high, and the empty ship enters the water just over 3 meters.
One oar, two masts, ten pairs of oars, with a steel-wrapped ironwood ram in front, and a three-bow crossbow at the bow, which can carry twenty oarsmen, ten sailors, and twenty-two combatants.
Supply one hundred stones.
Under normal sea conditions, the boat can travel forty miles in one hour. It can be sailed with the current, against the current, or with the wind. If twenty oarsmen work hard, the speed can be tripled in an instant.
It is larger than the sterns of the Han Dynasty, but not as good as fighting ships and tower ships, but its speed and flexibility are much higher. After all, it is a pointed-bottomed ship.
It means that small ditches and small rivers cannot be crossed, and inland rivers can only be crossed by large rivers such as the Yellow River and Zhangshui River.
So far, twenty-two ships have been put into service.
The four newly expanded shipbuilding canals have been put into use. From now on, eight canals will be launched every three months. Before the breakthrough of keel technology, this kind of galley warship will be the main force of Liu Xiang's navy.
