Good Life in Qin Dynasty

In the evening, Li Jiyang really ate fried locusts, as expected in ancient times, not only the environment is good, but the taste of locusts is also very good.

The chickens, ducks and geese outside all ate together, and what they ate were raw locusts.

"Young master, do you really want to eat it?" Chunya pointed to a plate of locusts, a bit reluctant to give it to her young master, no one knows how it tastes like!

"This is delicious!" Li Jiyang took one and threw it into his mouth to chew. Sure enough, the smell of paste and the sweetness of grass and trees couldn't help Li Jiyang to eat it. Many people also fried it after catching locusts. Then sprinkled with refined salt, the taste is really good!

Li Jiyang unintentionally led a fashion, and some nobles liked freshness, so eating locusts was a new thing, so everyone bought locusts to eat.

Civilians can't afford it, but they can afford it!

A steady stream of locusts were caught and sent to Qin Anjun's mansion. Steward Li Fu was frowning, so many young masters couldn't eat them!

If you leave it, it will stink!

It is used to feed chickens, ducks and geese, and the feed fee is too expensive, one knife and one stone!

"It's all deep-fried, put more refined salt in the oil, and then take it out as a gift for children from poor families who can't afford meat." Li Jiyang said while eating: "This food is very nutritious! "

It's all protein!

Steward Li Fu almost hid his face and left. He felt that it was his negligence that made the young master want to eat fried locusts, and even wanted to distribute them to the children as snacks.

But when Li Jiyang decided to send a can of fried locusts to the palace for the king and young master Fusu to eat, he became insane again!

I used five exquisite... large jars filled with fried locusts.

There are only three queens and queens in the two palaces, and there are two princes and brothers, one for each of them.

But this can be shared a little bit, there is still a lot of stock!

Lijiazhuang caught and ate them by itself, and didn't buy them, but there were so many people there, enough for everyone to catch a lot.

The next day was Xiu Mu, but Li Jiyang still entered the palace and served fried locusts to Ying Zheng.

"I've heard that you're doing strange things again, so it's it!" Ying Zheng used chopsticks, caught Jiang Neishi's unbelievable eyes and threw a chopstick into his mouth. It's crispy, and Li Jiyang specially put some seasonings in it, as well as refined salt.

"Is it delicious?" Li Jiyang asked Ying Zheng very seriously.

"Delicious!" Ying Zheng nodded: "It tastes good!"

"I'll just say it!" Li Jiyang was really proud: "Let me tell you, this thing is hard to come by. It's not easy to have so many locusts. Hurry up and eat more!"

Ying Zheng nodded: "It's not easy."

It is absolutely enough to eat their Qin country from the east, thousands of miles away, so in terms of number, these locusts are not much less, and if there are dead, there will be new ones.

Being able to migrate thousands of miles seems to be very difficult for the ancients, but these locusts actually persisted to Qin!

It's almost winter!

The locusts have grown up one by one, it is a good time to eat!

"That's right, I don't know how many years it will be until the next time I have this opportunity..." Li Jiyang remembered that it was indeed because of the locusts and the plague that the relationship between the countries was even more tense.

"Did you bring it to someone else?" Ying Zheng knew that Li Jiyang rarely brought him food alone, especially this kind of food.

"I brought a copy to the queen mother, godmother and young master of the two palaces." Li Jiyang asked a little uncertainly: "Can they like it?"

Ying Zheng didn't speak, but shouted outside: "Jiang!"

"Here!" Jiang Neishi immediately appeared from nowhere.

"What do the Empress Dowagers and Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces think of the food sent by Qin Anjun?" Ying Zheng didn't shy away from it at all.

"The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces only said it was very fresh after eating it. The Queen Mother Huayang ate half a tael of rice, and the Queen Mother Xia Ji drank half a bowl of rice porridge. Refined salt is eaten as a pickle. The young master likes it the most, and after eating a bowl, he wants a bowl for snacks." Jiang Neishi said it very well: "There are also a few imperial chefs in the imperial dining room who also tasted it and said that it is made of it. That’s right, it would be even better if it can be fried with meat oil and vegetables.”

"Then let them do it." Ying Zheng pointed to the dish: "Tomorrow, I will eat locusts fried in meat oil."

"No!" Jiang Nei waiter bowed and disappeared again.

Li Jiyang lowered his head to eat: "How is the situation now?"

"Everything is fine. People are taking the preventive powder. You have sent people to cooperate with the Korean side of the pills. No one dares to play tricks." Ying Zheng laughed when he mentioned this: "Li Si also sent people back. , He wants cities, territories, money and treasures from other countries. Some of them have already been sent, and Chu has sent a lot of Chumi."

"There are also food, cloth, money and treasures from other countries." Ying Zheng said: "The prescription has been given, and Li Si has done a good job."

"Then he's not greedy?" Li Jiyang was still worried about Li Si.

"Greed, it must be greed, it's just that there is less greed." Ying Zheng said: "But I won't let him be greedy too much, and... sooner or later let him spit it out!"

Things like South Korea and Chu State have already been sent over, Qi State and Yan State will arrive later, Zhao State is the slowest, because Zhao State is currently troubled by internal and external troubles, King Zhao is still young, and he is still a little uncertain affairs of state.

But Zhao Guo lost more than Qin Guo, so they will definitely gather enough things and money.

Li Jiyang was satisfied, and Li Si sneezed thousands of miles away.

On the one hand, Guo Kai, a small official from Zhao State, came over and handed over the handkerchief flatteringly: "Your Excellency, please take care of yourself!"

Li Si looked at him: "The same is true for adults, let's take care of your health together!"

Guo Kaixi smiled and said, "I don't know when the prescriptions from my country of Zhao will be traded?"

"I'll give you a prescription after counting all your belongings." Just as Li Si finished speaking, people who traveled with him from all over the world came over there.

"Master Li Si."

"what happened?"

"I'm missing 1 gold, a box of thumb-sized pearls, and a hundred shi of grain and grass."

Li Si turned to look at Guo Kai: "What's going on? The amount of things King Zhao gave is wrong!"

"This, that...you can get some too, so many people eat horse chews...you should lose a little..." Guo Kai smiled embarrassingly.

"Loss?" Li Si sneered: "Li Si will go to see the lord of your country tomorrow. There may be losses in the prescription of my Qin country."

"Don't!" Guo Kai was terrified when he heard that, he is now the time to climb up, and he needs a lot of money and treasures to make connections.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to make some money, but he didn't expect Li Si to be so determined!

"What do you think, Mr. Guo?" Li Si knew that he could not offend Guo Kai, a villain, because Zhao Wangyan, the new leader of Zhao Guo, was more optimistic about someone, and this villain could do anything.

So Li Si is also willing to sell him a face, in case he wakes up one day, it will be convenient for the two of them.

It had to be said that Li Si had a good eye for people.

"Maybe there are still some that haven't arrived, just wait a moment!" Guo Kai walked away wiping his sweat, and immediately ordered people to quickly plug the gap.

Li Si returned to Qin State with the items bought by Zhao State for prescriptions. It turned out that all the items from other countries had been sent over.

When the frost came, the plague of locusts passed, and the plague did not have much impact. The weather turned cold, and the locusts froze to death, and the people were happy.

When the first snow fell, Li Si also came back from various countries.

He was different from Cai Ze's trip. First, Li Jiyang didn't send him a car; second, he was selling prescriptions. He raced against time and traveled around the country without wasting any time. He came and went in a hurry.

So it takes a short time.

But the news Li Si brought back was not good.

The state of Qin is fine, it is exempt from taxes and distributes medicines, other countries are not. I heard that in the state of Yan, the common people have already donated a thousand shi of grain, awarded the title of title, and collected grain from the people.

"Fortunately, my Great Qin has Xiaoyang!" Ying Zheng sighed privately.

"Yes, yes!" Li Jiyang said in his heart, isn't it, you are still aggrieved without me!

Li Si came back this time and brought a lot of things, no worse than Gan Jing's time, and all kinds of things, like South Korea is the cession of land, Han Wang's treasury is almost half removed, he would rather cede the land than give any more money .

Zhao Guo is full of money and treasures, and Li Si wants him to cede the land, but Zhao Wangyan still doesn't care about it now.

Chu State gave a lot of Chu rice, they are rich in food, even if there is a plague of locusts, it is enough for Chu State to eat, because there are Lord Changping and Lord Changwen in Qin State, Chu State uses the price lower than other countries, and here is Li Jiyang Bought a lot of pills to go back!

Qi Guo was the most unlucky, he was far away, and couldn't let go of his figure, so Li Si bit him down!

They are the countries that pay the most money!

Wei State is different, I don't know what Yingzheng means, he asked Wei State for the lowest price, and even asked Li Jiyang for a lot of pills, which were sent to King Anli of Wei State.

Yan State didn't offer many things, but they were all medicinal materials, as well as mink fur. Li Si gave a relatively fair price, implementing Qin State's strategy of making long distance and short attack.

I also said a lot of good things about Prince Dan of Yan to King Xi of Yan. The prince had a good life in Xianyang City of my country, where he had a place to study, and princes from various countries occasionally met and communicated.

Anyway, it's a good word.

The coaxed Yan Wangxi was very happy, and gave Li Si a lot of personal favors.

"He can talk." Ying Zheng said to Li Jiyang privately: "Prince Yan, Dan, wanted to see the widow, but the widow did not."

"Huh?" Li Jiyang's eyes widened.

"Then he wants to see you again..." Ying Zheng was slightly resentful.

"See me?" Li Jiyang was even more shocked: "What are you doing?"

Could it be that Crown Prince Dan of Yan wanted to assassinate him too?

"What else can I do? Let's discuss with you the prescriptions for preventing and curing the plague!" Ying Zheng said quietly, "Fortunately, Mr. Gang Cheng was not sent as an envoy, otherwise he might not be able to come back."

Li Jiyang choked for a moment: "Well, fortunately, it was Li Si's mission to another country."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

"It's snowing outside, what do you want to eat?" Li Jiyang began to think about what to have for dinner.

"In such a cold weather, how about some beef and mutton soup?" Ying Zheng asked Li Jiyang for his opinion.

"Let's have some donuts, soaked in beef and mutton soup." Li Jiyang clicked his mouth: "Let's have some pickles, and fried locusts!"

"Okay!" Ying Zheng ordered Jiang Neishi: "Do as your majesty asks!"

"No!" Jiang Neishi suggested: "There are also roasted hares, do you want some?"

"It's cold here, right?" Li Jiyang was afraid that it wouldn't taste good if it wasn't hot.

"No, bring the small stove together, it will definitely not be cold, you can cut it with a knife and eat it." Jiang Neishi said: "I haven't brushed the seasoning on it yet, you can add it according to your taste."

"Okay, here are two!" Li Jiyang was happy.

Ying Zheng also thought it was interesting to eat like this, so he nodded.

When the food was served, Li Jiyang stretched his neck to see that the two rabbits were roasting on a small stove, sizzling with oil, and there were bowls of seasonings beside them.

In addition to the seasoning powder, there is also a salt and a sauce.

Li Jiyang said flatly: "Let's not use the ingredients at all, just cut off the rabbit meat and eat it with seasonings!"

"This way?" Ying Zheng tried to eat it: "Not bad!"

The two sat opposite each other, watching the snowflakes falling outside, eating beef and mutton steamed buns and roasted rabbits, and chatted.

"After this time, can Lu Buwei stop?" Li Jiyang was still worried about Lu Buwei, because Lu Buwei's reputation in history was too great.

"He's...I'm afraid he can't take care of himself now." Ying Zheng smiled bewilderedly.
