Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 159 Li Jiyang Comes of Age

In the twelfth lunar month, the pigs raised by Lijiazhuang should also be killed.

Li Jiyang used to ask people to slaughter all his pigs for meat, now it's time to formally verify his proposal!

Li Jiazhuang couldn't wait to kill two big fat pigs!

Don't tell me, the pigs that have been slaughtered eat a lot and grow fat. After the slaughter, everyone made meat according to the usual method and tasted it!

That taste!

Li Jiyang almost cried!

Brother finally no longer has to eat tasty meat!

After eating beef and mutton for almost two years, pork is his favorite!

"Have someone kill them all, keep the two best ones, clean them up and send them to Xianyang City!" Li Jiyang never forgot his male god when he ate anything.

"Is there a gift from the palace too?" Steward Li Zhong reminded Li Jiyang.

"Send it as a gift, send it to the eldest son first, and if he nods, then send it to the lord of the palace. After all, this pork...you understand." Li Jiyang squinted his eyes.

Butler Li Zhong understood that pig meat is generally a cheap food for poor people, and Tangtang mainly eats pig meat, so he might be laughed at.

But their pork belly tastes different!

"This old slave thinks that this pig meat can be eaten by everyone, because it doesn't have that kind of taste anymore." Steward Li Zhong was very sorry.

The reason why pig meat is not liked by everyone is because of the taste. Although lamb also has a smell of mutton, it is much stronger than pig meat!

That's what he said, but Li Jiyang still sent something, and made it clear that this pig meat is the latest type, so the eldest son must taste it, and if he thinks it is good, he will present it to the father of patriotism.

It happened that Li Fu was also in the mansion over there.

As a result, after a few days, someone came back. The eldest son ate the pig meat, and then carried the packed pig into the palace.

On the third day, Li Fu was specially recruited into the palace to teach the stables how to squat!

Li Jiyang: "...!"

It's not easy being the ruler of a country!

As mentioned earlier, the New Year’s Eve is only a day for the royal family and the nobles, and the small nobles also have it, but no one lives for the common people. They eat a meal of meat at most, let alone the poor, who can’t fill their stomachs. Why celebrate New Year’s Eve?

However, Li Jiyang still dragged out some rare treasures and asked someone to send them to Qin Palace.

The most important thing is that Li Jiyang also sent ten carts of fruit!

From the most common apples to the most uncommon and hard-to-preserve Changchu, there are also fresh winter jujubes, pomegranates, and even peaches!

It's not that no one preserves fruits in winter, but the ones that can be kept until now, not to mention the taste, must be pitifully small in quantity!

And how can the taste that Li Jiyang sent is as good?

He made it out of space!

The gift that was painstakingly sent out was not in vain. Li Jiyang received a generous reward from King Zhuang Xiang, and sent more things to Li's Village, even a set of clothes and a crown belt that could only be worn after the coming-of-age ceremony.

"The lord has ordered, this is for you as a coming-of-age gift, and you will be an adult next year." The servant smiled very much.

Li Jiyang pinched his nose and recognized it. In fact, these things don't look very expensive, especially since Li Jiyang has already made himself a very cool adult dress, and plans to wear it on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony. Taste, after all, in later generations, there is no such thing as coming-of-age rites, but island countries do. Unfortunately, they reduce the number of people by 5 people every year, and they have committed too many crimes!

As a result, King Zhuang Xiang gave him such a set, so he must use it!

After seeing off people, after New Year's Eve, it will be Lichun, which means that he has grown up, and Li Jiyang has no other elders, so he had to let Ling Lingyi appear again, as a senior brother, and sent countless good things!

"Master, he's an old man who is wandering outside, so he won't come here, but everything that should be given to you has been prepared, so you just accept it." Ling Lingyi pretended to be a senior brother, and really became more and more integrated into the role.

"Thank you, Master." Li Jiyang followed suit.

"In that case, let's hold the ceremony!" Gan Jing was in charge of holding Li Jiyang's coming-of-age ceremony.

The old butler helped him, because he didn't know any close relatives, and he didn't invite anyone, so King Zhuang Xiang sent Gao Zhanshi to watch the ceremony.

It can be regarded as giving Li Jiyang face.

To Li Jiyang's surprise, Yang Feiying also came!

"You are not at home during Chinese New Year, what are you doing here?"

"I don't want to come either!" Yang Feiying smiled and said, "Master Xiangbang asked me to come, I wish you an adult."

He also brought a lot of gifts, including gold, silver and jade.

"Is he trying to win me over?" Li Jiyang thought he had no friendship with Lu Buwei.

"That's right, you've become his neighbor, how can he not care about you!" Speaking to Li Jiyang, Lu Buwei is now in power, and he is so self-willed that he can't bear any accidents.

Who let him be alone now, fighting all court officials!

Only then did Li Jiyang understand that Lu Buwei had already begun to inflate himself!

Apart from these people, Zero Zero One attracted the most attention, but no one dared to talk to him!

It's really because Li Jiyang's coming-of-age ceremony will take half a day, and Zero Zero One's original appearance can only be maintained for three hours, which is not enough time, and because it is winter this time, Zero Zero One made himself a pair of eyes to wear on his face , with a dog fur hat style popular in later generations on his head, just covering the antenna, he just needs to adjust the infrared induction line to the dim light level, and it will be fine!

Gan Jing and the others were very curious about his appearance, and the people he brought also had the same appearance. Everyone was itchy and wanted to ask, what are they wearing on their eyes?

It's a pity that Zero Zero One is a robot, born with air-conditioning, and when he becomes silent, he can't even feel breathing!

But this kind of zero and one made them think that this is a master!

It is said that when martial arts reach the state of harmony between man and nature, they will breathe internally, and they can hold their breath for a long time!

The place where the coming-of-age ceremony is held is, of course, the ancestral hall of the Li family. It is usually closed, but now it is open.

The old housekeeper went in and cleaned it himself, and put out all kinds of sacrificial items.

For the sake of looking good, Li Jiyang did spare no effort to give things. The Li family is considered aristocratic now, so they used jade, bronze and other items.

There are no joss sticks, but Deng is used, spices are added, and the taste is... not bad.

High incense, firecrackers, big red silk.

At this time, the coming-of-age ceremony is just a ceremony, far less troublesome than later ones, and because the Emperor Zhou is still alive, everyone still refers to the Zhou ceremony.

However, there are slight changes to save some unnecessary details. After all, everyone has torn faces with Zhou Tianzi, and it would not be good if we continue to follow the Zhou etiquette.

Even if some details were reduced, Li Jiyang was still exhausted, kneeling, kowtowing, and changing clothes!

Starting today, he can finally have a new hairstyle for himself!

Gan Jing combed him a compliment, which is Baotou. The difference is that he changed from two Baotou to one, and it was on top of his head.

Later, his hairstyle was almost the same as that of the warrior figurines of the Qin Dynasty discovered in later generations. There were even braids, which were wrapped around the top of the head after the braiding, forming a small bun or a crooked bun.

It can be seen that ancient men's braids began in the pre-Qin period.

Men's braids became the single hair style of the Han people from the Qing Dynasty... Could it be that the Qing Dynasty copied the Qin Dynasty?

Thinking hard!

But after combing like this, it is much more agile, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, anyway, Li Jiyang feels that he seems to have grown up!

Well, it turned out that he was already big too.

After the ceremony, Lijiazhuang prepared a lot of meat, and almost the whole village was celebrating. It was more lively than New Year's Eve!

Zero Zero One brought fifty ox carts to Li Jiyang this time, each of which was pulled by two old oxen, as well as gifts from the fifty ox carts. Eyes are straight!

Gan Jing finally knew why Li Jiyang was so arrogant, and also knew why Li Jiyang called him "Sir", but never called him "Master".

If he had such a master, he would not recognize the second one!

Ling Lingyi and the others rode away on horseback. The first ones introduced into the space were ordinary ponies. Who told Li Jiyang that he didn't have many good horses?

But after sorting out the space, and after zero and one's upgrades, they changed the ordinary horse into a good horse that is no less than a hard-earned BMW!

What's more, Zero Zero One didn't forget that they all rode horses when they came out, and they didn't put saddles or anything like that!

Although they knew it was in the space, but Li Jiyang didn't say it, so they didn't bring it!

Those horses were also close to Ling Lingyi and the others, and Gao Zhan knew how to look at horses. After seeing them, he couldn't move his eyes away.

When he left, he took a lot of cured mutton and cured beef with him.

And Li Jiyang also didn't bring them alone, sent them to the woods outside the gate, and brought them back to the space.

Afterwards, I swaggered back to my own home. Poor some people stayed outside and waited for them to come out!

Even if you can't rob at that time, it's good to catch people!

After waiting for a long time, let alone people, I didn't even see a hair!

I continued to wait unwillingly, but it turned out that it was dark, and I was frozen outside all night, almost freezing to death!

In Lijiazhuang, there is a banquet, roasted beef, stewed mutton soup, braised pork, sauced tofu, and a la carte stewed in it, and the visitors are smiling.

When Gao Zhan asked Li Jiyang: "What kind of dish is this?"

"Braised pork." Li Jiyang glanced at the braised pork cooked in soy sauce to red sauce color. This is the most primitive kind of braised pork.

Because there are no other cooking utensils, there is no need to think about frying and frying. Similarly, pot-wrapped pork, sliced ​​pork, tenderloin with vinegar, etc. can only appear in dreams.

"What kind of meat is this?" Gao Zhanshi took another bite when he asked, "It's delicious!"

"Swine meat!" Li Jiyang told him the answer after he had eaten several pieces.

At that time, Gao Zhan stopped his chopsticks: "Tell me, what kind of meat is this?"

"Swallow meat." Li Jiyang repeated again.

Now even Yang Feiying heard it, and stopped his chopsticks. He also ate a few mouthfuls just now, feeling that the meat is sweet and delicious.

"Don't lie to me!" Yang Feiying didn't believe it: "I've eaten pig meat before!"

In order to find out what kind of meat it is, Yang Feiying is not afraid to show off in front of them: "It doesn't taste like pig meat at all."

"This is indeed pig meat." Gan Jing knew the origin of this pig meat, but she was a little embarrassed to say.

Still, Li Jiyang had no scruples and told them everything, and the old housekeeper was there to testify, the two of them were dumbfounded!

People, after castration, became servants.

Hey, can you castrate me too?The meat is still so fragrant?

When Li Jiyang held the coming-of-age ceremony, the Wang family also took action, but it was well concealed and no one noticed that Li Jiyang sent Gao Zhanshi and Yang Feiying away the next day, and Gan Jing was also packing up. , and those children, because they are going to Xianyang City.

Put away the things you brought as much as possible. Although there were people sent by the palace, Li Jiyang didn't intend to let them get close to his classmates. They drew up a separate yard and let the people sent by Ying Zheng surround it, and no one was allowed to approach.

These people are all loyal descendants of Yingzheng. Although they are from the Meng family, they, who are also members of the Qin army, value loyalty more; otherwise, Li Jiyang would not let his classmates go to class together.

After all, they have a lot of secrets, and now they have math and martial arts classes in addition to Chinese.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Jiyang asked people to get their luggage and clothes ready, as well as the houses they lived in. They had to get on the ox cart on the first day of the second lunar month and drove from Lijiazhuang. Departure, rush to Xianyang City.
