Be a sick and weak noble son in Daqin

Sun Boling turned his head to look at the handsome young man, and after a while he said helplessly, "Teacher went to Master Lu last night, and Master Lu agreed."

How can a child who looks gentle and gentle speak so irritatingly?

"I knew it would be okay to ask Mr. Guigu to come forward." Wei Ji smiled with frowned eyes, and decided to write a letter to send the caravan to Liyang after returning to the palace. I believe Duke Qin knows how important a master of water conservancy is. But that's all.

"My lord is so concerned about that side, Junshang will appreciate it in his heart." The baby-faced young man said seriously, thankfully, Wei Gong was talking to their teacher at the moment.

"It's true that he knows how to eat, but he won't stop him." Wei Ji sighed softly, "Compared to Qin, he is more worried about going to the next door Wei."

Sun Boling paused for a moment, thinking of the reputation of Young Master Wei, he shook his head and changed the topic without any trace, "The teacher brought back some meat last night, and Boling is going to roast it with the method taught by the young master. Something went wrong in the middle."

Wei Ang is not afraid of meat and vegetables, there are no less beauties in the house than King Wei, it would be fine if he was going to be a proton, but he has revealed other meanings early on, so of course Duke Wei is not willing to push his younger brother into the fire pit .

It is better to send far away than to be ruined by others.

Wei Ji didn't know what this man was thinking, and his attention was attracted by the meat he said. Ordinary people don't have beef and mutton, and at most they can only see the shadow of pork. At this time, the pigs haven't been processed much, but for ordinary people It is also rare delicious.

As Sun Boling said, he asked the only cook in the family to move the firewood outside the kitchen, and besides the sliced ​​meat, there was also a not-so-thick stone slab. Let’s take a stone slab and see if you can have the master’s kung fu of turning decay into magic.”

Wei Ji looked at the cook who was busy setting up the stone slab, and then looked at the bloodshot raw meat in the basin, pulled the corner of his mouth and turned around, "Sir, is the meat marinated yet?"

Untreated pork already has a taste. If you put it on the slate like this, you won’t be able to eat it after it’s cooked.

The cooks of ordinary people don’t often handle meat, and it’s inevitable that they are in a hurry. Sun Boling has never touched these things since he was a child, and he can’t do anything except eat. Come out, "Isn't it good to put the meat on the slate?"

He has read a lot and will not be deceived. When he was on his way, he could see clearly that he only needed to put the sliced ​​meat on the stone slab, turn it over and it would be cooked, and it would taste great without any seasoning.

Wei Ji: ...

It's no wonder that Pang Juan was able to deceive him into such a situation. This person's IQ is all about fighting, right?

The young man sighed, got up and walked around the kitchen, found out the seasoning salt that will be used later, and asked the cook to get some eggs, "Mr. things can suffer.”

"It's not that bad, is it?" The baby-faced young man retorted in a low voice embarrassedly, quickly took the things in the young man's hands and put them aside, not daring to bother the prince of a country to do such rough work.

He's actually quite capable, and he didn't starve to death when he was studying abroad. How could he be so bad?

Wei Ji didn't dare to let him touch these things. Fortunately, the cook was very neat. After washing the meat, he took it down and marinated it with egg salt, and then waited for the next order.

The owner of this family is not familiar with general affairs, and he did not expect that the noble son Ji would know this, the way of eating in the palace is different from that of ordinary people, how can ordinary people afford these things.

The meat slices have been marinated for a long time before they taste good, but judging by today's situation, there is not so much time to marinate, the baby-faced young man still doesn't understand, watching the cook holding the meat slices in the basin and muttering in a low voice, "When you are on your way Obviously there is no such step, the young master remembered it wrong before, right?"

"I'm not mistaken, Mr. always appeared after he was ready, so he didn't notice the previous preparations." Sitting on the stone bench next to him, Wei Ji tore off the man's last fig leaf very shamelessly.

When they were on the road, they depended on the mountains to eat, and they only replenished some food and seasonings in the passing cities. When they arrived in Anyi, the guards were used to using local materials, so this man followed them on the road from Anyi to Diqiu. , Of course I don't know the chicken and dog jumping in the first few days.

Sun Boling rubbed his nose, pretending he didn't hear anything, and moved the wheelchair to the side to start a fire. He didn't know how to do other things, and such a simple job as making a fire was easy to do.

After all, he is also an adult who has experienced outside, how can he be inferior to a pampered half-grown child in these things?

Wei Ji gave him a small white look, and no one said that if he is pampered, he can't do anything. He just likes to study delicious food. Is there a problem?

In a lifetime of one hundred years, only delicious food cannot be let down, and recklessness is not acceptable.

There are still too few things in the mansion compared to the palace, Wei Ji went out and asked the guards to go back to the palace to get some things, and when they came back, the meat slices should be almost marinated.

Sun Boling didn't remember anything else, but he only remembered that the meat should be sliced ​​thinly. He asked the cook to slice the large piece of meat into thin slices, but now he can squeeze it for a while. When the guard came back, he felt that the time was almost up and started to do it.

The stone slabs had already heated up under the temperature of the firewood, and the guards did not dare to let their young master do it. There was one cook who had never done this kind of work, and the other Sun Boling had a bad leg. It seemed that he did it himself. The most suitable.

Use a small brush to brush a layer of lard on the slate, drip a few drops of plum juice, and then put the marinated meat slices on it. With the sound of sizzling, the meat slices quickly curl up, and the fat comes out very attractive.

The cook watched the guard's movements carefully, and she didn't forget to pack the vegetables in her hands. He was not good at handling meat, and if she couldn't handle the vegetables grown at home, she would stop doing it.

The original fishy smell of pork was almost suppressed when it was marinated. The people of Diqiu couldn't stand the chili. After Wei Ji took it out once, his brother ordered him not to add it to his food. He could not use chili. , Ginger and rice wine are also good things to remove fishy smell.

The roasted meat has a strong smokey smell, and it has a sweet and sour taste under the moisture of plum juice. If there is honey, it will taste better if you brush it with a layer of honey, but I can’t find honey temporarily, so I just can give up.

The grilled meat exudes a tempting aroma, which spreads domineeringly throughout the entire mansion within a few breaths. Weigong and Guiguzi who were talking in the room looked at each other when they smelled the smell, and stood up decisively to find the source of the smell.

It must be that Ji'er son Ji has come up with something good again.

Wei Ji turned his head when he heard the commotion, and saw his elder brother and Mr. Wang Xu coming out together and smiled, "Brother, Mr. Guigu, have you finished talking?"

Wei Gong bypassed the smoky big stone slab, walked up to his baby brother and asked softly, "I'll talk about it later, what is Ji'er doing?"

He has nothing to say to the old man, even if there is, it is not as important as the delicious food made by his younger brother.

Regarding Wei Gong's idea, Mr. Guigu agreed very much. He has nothing to say to this unprogressive king of a country. If he has that kung fu, he might as well eat more meat.

It's not that the old man doesn't look down on Duke Wei, on the contrary, he admires him very much. When he moved to Diqiu, he witnessed this man's cruel methods to suppress the rebellion in the country. .

Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than ten years, not only did he fail to see the ZTE he was expecting at the beginning, but even the tough monarch has become such a soft-hearted person who can only quarrel with others when he has nothing to do. I am really sorry for him. There are so many bamboo slips deduced by Guoqiang for the background.

Although in the deduction, nine out of ten of the Wei Kingdom will be wiped out by the neighboring countries in the process of its rise, but there is also a one out of ten chance of success. If the king is a talented and generous monarch, he will definitely seize this out of ten The second possibility is that it's not like this kid with no ambitions, who stopped working after the country settled down.

After all, people still give up after failing. This kid is so good. He didn't even try, but chose to give up directly. He was really anxious to death.

Wei Ji thoughtfully wrapped the grilled meat with fresh and tender green vegetable leaves. His elder brother was Wang Xu and the other was Mr. Wang Xu. He was so impartial that no one could find any faults.

It's not without reason that the two of them disliked each other when they met. Mr. Guigu is a talented man who regards the world as a chess lord, and the advancement of the chess game is the turmoil of the world. What he sees is the change of the general trend, but his brother is different. Brother is the king of the country, and he has to consider not only the hegemony, but also the life and death of the people of the country.

Giving up after a failed attempt is easy to say. How many soldiers will lose their lives and how many people in Weiguo will be ruined by this attempt. Mr. Guigu may not think about this, but his brother can't, except for the faint king , no monarch would take the people to take this risk.

Wei Gong took a bite of the rolled meat. The freshness of the vegetables neutralized the greasy meat. He had never eaten pork before, and he always felt that no matter how he handled it, it had a strange smell. It tastes pretty good after doing this.

It's a pity that Wei Xi didn't come over, so he couldn't taste this rare delicacy, tsk, remember what this thing is made of, go back and let the cook cook a small stove for him alone.

In the end it was his son, who would he spoil if he didn't?

Mr. Wang Xu's mouth was full of oil, and he couldn't help but take another slice after eating one slice, "Boling boy is promising, and I thought he was messing around before, but I didn't expect the taste of the food to be really good."

He brought meat back yesterday. The kid insisted on grilling it on a stone slab. I don’t know why he, a guy who has never been in the kitchen, would come up with this on a whim. Who told him to be a soft-hearted teacher, let’s skip a meal The meat will be fine, as long as the apprentice with inconvenient legs and feet is happy.

I didn’t expect that this kid was just kidding, the meat tasted better than the ones he had eaten before. When he was young, he traveled all over the world to many countries, and he also ate a lot of palace banquets. There is no one that can match the taste of today. compared to.

The baby-faced young man listened to the teacher's admiration with a look of embarrassment, and took the initiative to hand over the rolled meat slices and said tactfully, "Teacher, this method was taught by Young Master Ji, and Bo Ling was just watching."

If it weren't for the young master Ji who happened to be here, I'm afraid that none of this pot of meat would be edible today, and you, an old man, wouldn't be able to eat so happily.

The young master Ji, who has hidden merit and fame, just smiled slightly, then looked at his brother and said, "This stone slab can not only be used for barbecue, but vegetables can also be eaten like this."

As he said that, the guard in charge cleverly put the juicy greens on the slate, brushed them with lard and turned them over, then handed them to their lord graciously.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang Xu subconsciously turned his attention to his apprentice, but seeing that the apprentice in the wheelchair couldn't speak, he squeezed his beard and sighed, and finally had to do it himself.

The old man took a few slices of green vegetables from the cook's hand, and reached out to reach for the brush. His hand was unsteady and knocked over the jar of oil. Fortunately, the guards were quick to catch the jar before the oil hit the fire, otherwise the old man I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the beard I've grown for many years.

Wei Ji looked at Mr. Wang Xu in a hurry, and probably knew why Master Sun was so naive that he thought that sliced ​​meat could become a peerless delicacy if he put it directly on the stone slab. The master and apprentice must be in the same line.

Wei Gong took his baby brother back two steps, looked at the old man hiding behind the wheelchair and taught his brother seriously, "Ji'er, I will become stupid after staying with stupid people for a long time, and I will definitely get along with people in the future." You have to pay attention to proportion."

Wang Xu blew his beard and stared at him. He didn't like this nonsense brat very much, but he couldn't refute what he said just now. Wouldn't he just admit that he was that stupid person?

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Sun Boling quickly covered his teacher's mouth with slices of meat, eating is the biggest meal in the world, filling his stomach before talking about other things.

Wei Ji smiled and looked at the old man with a temper like a child, blinked at the baby-faced young man sitting in the wheelchair, then turned to ask his brother if he could leave.

They came out after eating, and a few bites are enough. The cook should have learned about it after watching it for a while, and it's not a problem to stand here next.

Duke Wei nodded, motioned the guards to put down the brush, then looked at the master and apprentice next to him and said, "Sir, use it slowly, I will leave first."

Saying that, the handsome young man in brocade clothes stopped Sun Boling, who wanted to send them to the door, and asked him to take care of the old man who could set off a fire if he couldn't see it, and then he laughed and left with Wang Xu's angry eyes .

If the old man is not happy, he is happy, very happy, happier than the caravan making another ten thousand gold.

Wei Ji slowed down and followed behind, looking at his brother who rarely showed his emotions outside, he asked, "Brother, shall we go back to the palace?"

"Just came out for a while, what are you doing so early when you go back?" Wei Gong suppressed his smile, stepped on the stool and got into the carriage, then squinted his eyes and said, "Next, go to the carpenter's shop, which is the shop of Master Lu."

"The carpenter's shop..." Wei Ji just wanted to say something, sat down beside him, and then realized that his brother was not just walking around casually today, "Brother, you don't have to do this."

First Mr. Guigu and then Master Lu. Apart from the people in the palace, the only ones he will take away when he goes to Qin are Guigu’s descendants, Sun Boling and Gong Shuju. My brother happened to meet all three of them during this trip. .

Duke Wei looked at the pedestrians outside with his face propped up, and after a while he turned around and said, "I understand the truth, but I'm just worried, there's nothing I can do about it."

Thinking about the turmoil outside, his precious little brother grew up in rich clothes and jade food, even if he knew Qin Guild would take good care of people, he should be worried that he would still be worried.

"You are free, just find something to do." Wei Ji rubbed his forehead and replied, turning the guards driving the car back to the palace, then looked at their elder brother and said seriously, "If you are really worried, I will I will not go to Qin State anymore."

In fact, it doesn’t make any difference whether he goes or not. Sun Bin used to command troops, Guiguzi used to teach students, and Gong Shuju used to dig mountains and canals. When he went, he would only find food from the mountains for good food, and nothing else was of any use.

Besides, he is not the only one who is good-looking in this world. Wei Ang is not short of beautiful women. Nan's daring to put his mind on him once is enough courage. Second time, what if Wei Ang had already forgotten about it?

Rather than leaving because of these unnecessary dangers, it is better to stay and let my brother feel at ease.

"Forget it, it's not safe at home. Wei Ang heard that you're back and plan to go to Weiguo again. You have to pack up your things and leave before he comes." Duke Wei let the carriage turn his head, looking at his well-behaved and sensible brother with eyes full of eyes. They all feel distressed, "Brother knows that you are capable, you don't have to worry so much in Qin State, and you don't have to show mercy to Wei State next door. Remember to take care of yourself."

Wei Ji: ...

What on earth does that bastard Wei Ang want to do?What if he really has no temper and is easy to bully?Believe it or not, if you are in a hurry, you will be a monk for the rest of your life without any desires? !

A look of sullenness flashed in the eyes of the usually good-tempered young man, and his fists hidden under his sleeves were clenched quietly. He took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and then continued slowly, "Don't worry, brother, he will not do anything next." Kung fu is thinking about defending the country."

That guy still holds the military power of Wei State in his hand, no matter which one he fights next, he can't stay out of it, as long as he dares to relax, Pang Juan can take the military power in his hand, and then completely control the army of Wei State in hand.

King Wei attached great importance to Young Master Ang, but he was more tempted to dominate the Central Plains and annex neighboring countries. Compared with this, if Pang Juan could help him achieve this goal, Young Master Ang and Crown Prince Shendu would have to be in the back row.

Neither side is a big-hearted person, not to mention that Pang Juan was cruel to his fellow disciples because of jealousy. Although Young Master An is beautiful, he is also good at commanding troops and fighting, and no one will give up the military power in his hands, so Wei Guo's internal affairs will definitely not be stable.

The king of Wei is very happy with his achievements, so the generals need military exploits to show their abilities. Wei Guo has strong soldiers and horses, and there is no shortage of money and food. He will definitely go to war against neighboring countries in the future. As for who he will fight with, it is uncertain.

"Wei State has occupied our cities over the years, and they will spit them out bit by bit in the future. Even if we don't have soldiers and horses, there is no reason for us to be bullied all the time." The young man looked at his elder brother with a little tired look on his face. , said solemnly, "Brother, we won't be bullied by Wei Guo all the time, trust me."

"Brother knows, Ji'er of our family is the most capable." Duke Wei shook his head with a smile, watched the carriage pass the gate of the palace and then stretched his waist, "Sometimes one person can defeat thousands of troops without using a sword Things like the other party's initiative to cede the city to the land may not happen in the future."

Wei Ji smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, thinking that such things would not only happen in the future, but would happen very frequently.

——The six kingdoms are destroyed, the disadvantage is not due to soldiers, the war is not good, and the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin.

After a few years, the Qin State became stronger, and the land it got was not only plundered by force, but also offered by other vassal states for the sake of stability. Unfortunately, this did not stop Qin Guodong from going out.

Of course, the state of Wei couldn't stop it. Without the state of Qin, they could hardly protect themselves. When Qin's army went east, they would have no way to raise troops to resist. But they can use another method to survive in this troubled world.

The people of Qin made a promise, all he had to do was to prevent wars in the territory of Wei before the unification of the world. As for the unification... probably a hundred years later.

We will talk about the things that will happen a hundred years later, and it is only serious to get the things in front of us done first.

The two brothers were talking in a low voice, and got off one after another after the carriage stopped. They looked around but did not see the figure of the child who was left at home, so they called the servant and asked, "Where did the prince go?"

At this time, the boy should be studying. Today, the master rested and left him a lot of homework. Why is there no one in the hall at this moment?

The servant trotted over, "Your Majesty, the prince has gone to the dining room."

"Dining room?" Wei Ji slapped his head, suddenly remembered the sugar cane that was sent to the dining room in the morning, threw his brother away and ran over there.

The cook in their family is very talented, and the method of boiling sugar is simple. It is not necessary to boil out a good-looking brown sugar, and it is enough to carry it better than maltose and honey.

"Just now, I was so brotherly. When I heard other things, I could immediately throw my brother aside. Alas, being a brother is not easy." Wei Gong sighed from behind, tidied his clothes and followed him leisurely.

Those zhes were sent by him, so he had to see what kind of candy he could make.

There are several pots standing outside the dining room, which are steaming and smoking at the moment.

The cooks have been busy since the morning, boiling the sugarcane juice until it is thick and then cooking it in a higher temperature iron pot. They are afraid that the sticky sugarcane water will stick to the pot and keep stirring with a spoon. It is so viscous that you can pull out filaments when you take out a spoon.

A bamboo strip mat made of bamboo has been prepared next to it. After the sugar water is poured, it is divided into small pieces by the square bamboo strips above. The sweet taste penetrates into the nose. It was a success.

Prince Xi scooped a little from the bamboo stick with a small spoon and put it into his mouth. The fine, rustling paste-like syrup was extremely sweet. Although the taste was not as good as honey, it was much more delicious than caramel.

Wei Ji looked at the steaming massecuite in surprise, and could already imagine what the cooled brown sugar would look like.

As expected of their cook, excellent!

Wei Gong came over with his baby brother, looked at the small squares on the bamboo strips that had not yet condensed and said, "Ji'er, although this method is really useful, but do you know how difficult it is to transport Zhe from the state of Chu?" Are you struggling?"

Wei Ji:! ! !

Isn't Chu State planting a lot of sugar cane?

Brother, dear brother, my brother is uneducated, don't scare me!
