The harem of a human king is not a family affair, but a state affair.
Emperor Xin stayed in Huang Guifei's palace for several days, which can't help but make people think.
After Su Daji entered the palace, Concubine Huang suddenly became favored, which made the ministers secretly speculate on Emperor Xin's intentions.
The late king Di Yi once entrusted him with an orphan. Wen had Taishi Wen Zhong, and Wu had Wu Chengwang Huang Feihu. In addition, Huang Feihu had grown up with Di Xin as his playmate, and he was a proper military general of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
It's just that in recent years, Emperor Xin and Huang Feihu have become increasingly estranged. This is because Huang Guifei is not favored, and also because Emperor Xin is afraid of Huang Feihu, a military leader. Even when Yuan Futong rebelled in Beihai, Emperor Xin only sent Grand Master Wen Zhong to the expedition.
, not him, a military general.
Nowadays, Concubine Huang's sudden favor has caused quite a stir in the court. Even King Wucheng Huang Feihu sent people to the palace to ask his sister about Concubine Huang.
Huang Guifei didn't dare to tell the truth. She only answered, "That's how it should be." Then she responded perfunctorily, leaving Huang Feihu, the general, not knowing what to say.
In desperation, Huang Feihu had no choice but to go to the palace in person to seek confirmation.
…
"Hey, uncle, you came just in time, come and see the koji brewed by Guxin."
Di Xin looked at the mighty man in green leather armor, holding a sword, approaching him.
The one who can carry a sword in the palace is not King Wucheng Huang Feihu, so who should he be?
[Huang Feihu: 29 years old, cultivation level: nine levels of innateness, Kung Fu: Qingfeng Mountain Shanyang Cave body-building technique (perfection), easy tendon washing, marrow dredging, meridians and blood exchange (perfection), harmony between man and nature (perfection), magical power: God of Martial Arts
,Mount: Five-color sacred cow, loyalty 70%]
He is worthy of being the King of Wucheng. This entry simply amazed Li Zhou. Huang Feihu has practiced to the extreme of a mortal, and has become innate with martial arts. He has just cultivated a body of cultivation. No wonder he will be named the Lord of Taishan Prefecture after his death. It is simply powerful.
Ridiculous.
Especially the loyalty, which turned out to be 70%. This was when he had been marginalized by Di Xin, otherwise the loyalty would have been almost 100%. That bastard Di Xin actually left such a good thug unused, and still wanted to
To kill Zhongliang is like being kicked in the head by a donkey.
Before Huang Feihu entered the Qiong room, he smelled a very strong smell of sweet wine. This smell was different from sweet wine. After taking a sip, he felt as if he was in a fairyland, as if he were in a dream.
"Your Majesty, is this sweet wine?"
Huang Feihu is a fierce general in the army, and he is said to be able to drink a thousand bottles without getting drunk, but this taste is obviously richer and more intoxicating.
At that moment, regardless of the scalding of his hands, he dug out a piece of koji and ate it. The rich aroma went straight to his forehead, and even more so, the aroma hit his face, which made the military general couldn't help but say a good word.
The alcohol content of Yin Shang wine is not high, so there are two ways to do it, one is to eat it, which is what was eaten in the palace before, and the other is to add a lot of spices and use it for sacrifices.
The brewing process of rice wine is complicated. Although there are brewing blueprints and the help of several brewing craftsmen, it still kept him busy for several days before he could make the koji.
After the koji is prepared, the rest is fermentation and pressing, and finally the rice wine is formed.
"Your Majesty, this sweet wine is so delicious, can you give it to your subordinates?"
"Brother, why are you so polite? It's just a semi-finished product now. When the finished product is ready, I will invite my uncle to come and taste the wine."
"Yes, but does this wine have a name?"
"This wine is called yellow wine!"
"Yellow wine? Absolutely not!"
When Huang Feihu heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "This wine was brewed by the king, how can I use the name of a subordinate?"
Huang Feihu obviously misunderstood. Li Zhou laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "I have misunderstood. The name of this rice wine has nothing to do with me. I will understand after the finished product is made."
[Make distiller’s yeast to make the human race live and work in peace and contentment, and gain 100 merits.]
A ray of golden light penetrated Li Zhou's forehead. Huang Feihu's face was full of doubts, but Li Zhou did not explain, and then directly pulled Huang Feihu to the next place.
Before he walked in, Huang Feihu saw the steam billowing like clouds. When he smelled it carefully, he found that it was very salty.
"Your Majesty, is this salt?"
People of the Yin and Shang dynasties made table salt by simply burning salt lake water using salt frying utensils. It was dark and bitter, but had a salty taste, so it was also called bitter salt.
Of course, there is also refined salt refined by the secret method of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The bitter taste is removed, but it is still dark. This is already very rare. Apart from the Yin and Shang royal families, only the Grand Master, Prime Minister and Yaxiang have it.
Some, even the four great princes, only had small rations.
Huang Feihu looked at the newly condensed white crystal-like particles in the bamboo tube, picked up one directly, held it in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly froze.
"Your Majesty! This is salt! It is saltier than the refined salt of ancient Shu Kingdom, and the color is also white."
[Make coarse salt to make the human race live and work in peace and contentment, and gain 100 merits.]
Another streak of merit sank into his forehead. Li Zhou couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother, this is not refined salt. Now the conditions are limited and we cannot make refined salt. When the technology matures, I will let you taste what is real salt."
Fine salt, real snow salt.”
Huang Feihu looked at Di Xin in front of him, feeling like his childhood playmate in a trance. The Di Xin who was worthy of his following was back again.
Li Zhou laughed and looked at the general in front of him. His loyalty was 80%. This was an absolutely trustworthy general.
Then he said to the attendants beside him, "Please invite the queen and concubine to come to the palace, and we two brothers will have a good barbecue!"
"yes!"
"barbecue?"
There were endless new things coming out, which made Huang Feihu unable to adapt for a while, but when Li Zhou held his hand and looked affectionate, Huang Feihu couldn't help but feel grateful.
In the palace, a young sheep was being placed on top and grilled over charcoal fire.
The red-hot charcoal fire made crackling sounds from time to time. Huang Feihu wondered why the attendants didn't add more firewood. He also found that the firewood was very resistant to burning and had no black smoke, making it very suitable for burning in the palace.
Huang Feihu stood up immediately and was very interested in seeing the fire in front of him that was still burning and had turned into golden red charcoal.
[Make charcoal to make the human race live and work in peace and contentment, and gain 100 merits.]
Another ray of golden light penetrated his forehead. Even though Li Zhou was the Supreme Human Emperor, he couldn't help but smile happily and said, "This is charcoal. It is actually made from ordinary firewood after being smoked. It is more resistant to burning. It is very simple."
Craftsmanship.”
"Simple?!"
The Yin Shang Dynasty used tripods for food every day. They stipulated nine tripods for kings, seven tripods for princes, and five tripods for officials. The reason why tripods were used was because firewood had to be replaced frequently, and because the temperature could not rise, it could only be cooked, and even extended
A kind of punishment was imposed, which was the punishment of cooking.
This Emperor Xin changed his behavior casually, which in Huang Feihu's view was simply unimaginable.
Huang Feihu was looking at the charcoal fire in wonder. He had no idea why the smoked firewood could become so resistant to burning.
Queen Jiang and Concubine Huang received the order and came to join forces. When Li Zhou saw the two wives, they also had kind faces, and the banquet started immediately.
