Zhangjiacun is said to be a village, but its size is comparable to a town. The reason is the mustard mustard here. The two hundred households in the village make a living by making mustard mustard.
I have been to this place before, but at that time it was called Yuyao, "Yu", which means "salt" in ancient Yue. Before liberation, Yuyao was the largest salt farm in the country. It was established as a market in 1985. When it comes to the production technology of mustard, I have also briefly mentioned it.
You know, fresh cabbage heads are washed, pickled with low salt, then pressed in a tank, fermented in a tank, peeled and trimmed, and pressed twice and three times before and after pressing again. The finished product is tender, crisp, refreshing and fragrant.
, the lingering aftertaste in your mouth is endless. Even though Madam lives in the same place, she can still remember this pickled mustard, which shows its popularity.
Merchants and hawkers from the north and south come here to pick up goods, so there are several decent inns in Zhangjiacun.
General Ji and I went around the whole village without seeing Wang. He came out one or two days earlier than us. There was no reason. Did he not come here at all? We decided to wait a little longer.
In the evening, the two of us stayed in a shop called Shunxiang. We were bored. We were very tired from galloping for days. We fell into a deep sleep after three o'clock in the night. General Ji suddenly stood up from the bed and said to me,
"I heard it, the king is coming!"
"General Ji, are you talking about hysteria? Apart from the sound of leaks, is there any sound at all?" I said.
He raised his hand to stop me from talking any more, listened carefully, immediately put on his clothes, and urged me, "Hurry, hurry! The king is really here!"
We walked out of the inn and stood on the side of the road in the night wind. For a long time, I heard a faint sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. The closer it got, the more rapid it became. General Ji could no longer contain his excitement and looked up eagerly.
On the official road at the entrance of the village, I saw a fast horse galloping towards me. The horse was as fast as the wind and lightning. It was in front of me in a flash. The person sitting immediately was none other than Tian Wang!
In an instant, all worries and days of hard work were swept away. We ignored the danger and ran straight to the horse.
He also saw us. He tightened the reins of the horse. The horse suddenly braked while galloping, and raised its front hooves. General Ji and I both had thousands of words to say. We were so anxious that we couldn't even finish a sentence. Wang said
, "You are so smart, how did you know I would come here?"
In fact, it was not us who were smart, but the lady who was smart. We didn’t say much. We knocked on the door of a large house overnight and bought four jars of mustard from them. General Ji and I each brought two jars. While he was stunned, the three of us rushed like a whirlwind.
From the time I saw the king to the time I left the village, it only took a quarter of an hour. I really wanted to ask General Ji how he knew the king was coming in his sleep. Was it telepathy? But General Ji asked me about it before I did.
Then, without stopping, Tian Wang told us about his experiences in these days. He said:
"It's true that I came here to bring a few jars of mustard for my wife, because she is ill. Besides, we will soon leave our homeland and head to the ocean. If even a jar of mustard cannot satisfy her, I will be uneasy.
of"
"So I made a plan to go back to this land and walk it again before I left. However, you are all busy with business. If I say anything, it will definitely affect you, and I will definitely send people to follow me. Therefore, I
I went ashore alone.”
"Actually, I didn't just go ashore to buy groceries this time. Anyway, when I go overseas from now on, I won't be as glamorous as Liu Bang. I want to see him and walk around to see where he is sitting.
What is the life of the people in the world like?"
"I think I, Tian, was once a nobleman of Qi. If Xiang Yu didn't come to attack me, how could he leave an opportunity for Liu Bang? The King of Qin was cruel, I rebelled against the King of Qin, Shaoren, the overlord, I resisted the overlord, and it was easy in the end
"Liu Bang boy"
"I drove west from the junction of Langye County and Linzi County. What I saw along the way was that Liu Bang was kind and righteous to the people, made donations and reduced taxes, and was busy with restoration everywhere. He also became more energetic, so his inner uneasiness was slightly relieved.
"
"Originally, I planned to go straight to Chang'an. I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of person Liu Bang was. Who knows, just after I passed Xuejun and headed westward from the Jishui River Valley between Dangjun and Dongjun, suddenly,
I heard that Liu Bang is in Luoyang."
I quickly asked, "He just moved the capital from Luoyang, why did he come back in such a short time?" Wang said:
"I don't know about this, but I think that most of the generals who followed Liu Bang had their hometowns near Luoyang. When Liu Bang moved the capital to Chang'an, they encountered a lot of resistance. This time is probably to appease people's hearts."
The three of us were talking as we rushed north. We were in a different mood than when we came. When we came, we were looking for someone. We didn’t know what was going on ahead, and we didn’t know whether we could find the person or not. Therefore, we were in a state of urgency and anxiety.
When I went back, I had found Wang, and all the fatigue in my body had been swept away. However, General Ji and Wang's riding skills were really not impressive. I gradually fell behind. After running around for days, the lining of both thighs was worn out.
My balls ached, so they stopped and waited for me for a while.
"I just arrived in Luoyang and entered the city easily," Wang said.
"Why, didn't the military academy guarding the city stop us?" General Ji and I asked at the same time.
"No, not only no, but also very polite." I don't understand this. General Ji was also confused and the king continued:
"As soon as I arrived at the city gate, all the military schools bowed to me and saluted me, and automatically moved out of the way to let me pass. But they didn't make way for me, Tian Heng... They asked me to be... Manager Liu."
"Who is Mr. Liu?"
"At that time, I didn't know who Mr. Liu was, but I soon found out that he was the steward of Liu Xin, the Marquis of Fenjie. Speaking of this Marquis of Fenjie, I didn't understand. Liu Xin was the son of Liu Bang's eldest brother. How could he be granted such a title?
A title that cannot be put on the table”
I know a little bit about this allusion
"羮颉" is actually the sound of a shovel scraping a pot. When Liu Bang was young, he did not do his job properly. He attracted a bunch of gangsters and friends to his sister-in-law's house all day long. Liu Bang's eldest brother died early, and his sister-in-law was a widow. Life was not easy to begin with.
They could afford to eat so much, so from time to time, he would scrape the pot with a shovel and say, "There is no food to eat, there is no food to eat." This made Liu Bang very embarrassed.
After he became emperor, all his relatives were given titles, but his sister-in-law's son Liu Xin was left alone. For this reason, Liu Bang's sister-in-law also went to Liu Bang's father, and Mrs. Liu sent a message to the emperor, Liu Bang is not good.
Listen, this is how Liu Xin was given the title of "羮颉"
When I thought of this, I heard Wang You said:
"Am I similar to the housekeeper at Henjie Hall? Later on the streets of Luoyang, I discovered that we were really similar. At that time, I was trying to figure out how to meet Liu Bang without letting him know.
At this time, I found a person who was leading a group of minions to rob civilian girls. That person was clearly me, Tian Hengbei. How could I be him? However, the Han Dynasty had just established a dynasty and had just moved the capital. A coward.
Why was the housekeeper at Henjiehou so domineering really made me angry, so I beat up the gang of thieves to vent my anger."
"The Tao is achieved by one person. Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. King, you have offended Mr. Liu. Didn't they make things difficult for you?" I was sweating for King Tian. As the lady said, this king is really willful and willful.
Given the situation at that time, was he really not afraid of causing trouble?
"It's difficult, not really, because at that time the gong was blowing on the street to clear the way, and Liu Bang came. He was riding in a very gorgeous car, coming from west to east. Manager Liu had long since disappeared, but I also happened to see Liu Bang himself."
"How do you look? Are you handsome?" General Ji asked.
"Like a cook," Wang said, laughing loudly on his horse, waving his whip, dismounting the horse and rushing out.
One looks like a cook, the other looks like a housekeeper, two contemporary figures, so what is this image?
