spring and autumn officials

Qi Lu promised to make persimmon cakes for the emperor, and soon left the camp, and worked separately with the emperor, entered the dining room, and started making persimmon cakes.

Recently, everything is popular, such as cakes, moon cakes, and chicken chops. Even persimmons have followed the trend, and quicksand persimmons have appeared.

Speaking of this bursting quicksand persimmon cake, Qi Lu had eaten it before. When he was in the company, his colleagues shared it. The colleagues all thought it was very delicious, so Qi Lu learned it. Unexpectedly, the method is very simple.

The taste of dried persimmons is delicate, with the sweetness of ordinary persimmons, sweet and delicious. The difference is that the taste of dried persimmons is more layered than ordinary persimmons.

Bite down, the inner texture of the dried persimmon is rusty, the mouth is flowing, and the outer skin is tough, the delicate taste of the dried persimmon, combined with the crisp persimmon tongue, let alone the taste, the layers are instantly plump.

In fact, when it comes to this bursting persimmon, it is not a great food, because it is very simple. In addition to the difference in choosing persimmons, there is another very important point.That is, ordinary persimmons are laid flat to dry, but when dried persimmons are dried, a thin thread needs to be used to tie the stalks of the persimmons, and the persimmons are hung up to dry. Compressed, so that the shape looks the same, but it is a surprise when you bite it down.

In fact, Qi Lu had long wanted to make this persimmon cake for the emperor. The emperor doesn't like fruits and is a carnivore, but he only likes to eat persimmons.

Persimmons are fragrant and sweet, but not too overwhelming. The Son of Heaven has a special liking for persimmons, so Qi Lv decided to dry some dried persimmons for the Son of Heaven to try. He made sure that the Son of Heaven would never eat other persimmons after eating them once.

Qi Lu got ready a long time ago, and went to the dining room at this time, but just took out the sun-dried dried persimmons, which was very cheap and simple.

When Qi Lu entered the dining room, the cooks immediately remembered that the Taifu had dried some persimmons before.These days, persimmons are a tribute and are very cherished, but because they are not easy to preserve, persimmons have appeared, and cooks often dry persimmons.

Although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs go away, so when Taifu Qi hung up the persimmons to dry, all the cooks looked confused, wondering what kind of medicine Qi Taifu was selling in this gourd.

Qi Lu picked up a few "good-looking" persimmons that had been sun-dried, and it was said that it was because of the emperor's unique taste.Qi Lv is a face controler, the emperor is not a face controler, but the emperor is a face controler when it comes to eating, he does not like to eat fruit, if there is a bump on the fruit, or the skin is wrinkled, the emperor will never eat it , because this fruit is not "beautiful" enough.

When Qi Lu thought of the childish side of the emperor, he couldn't help but raised his lips and smiled. He didn't know how suave and spoiled he was smiling, and he said: "Well, I will pick some of the most beautiful ones for you."

Qi Lu put the persimmon cakes in the exquisite Chengpan, and walked out of the dining room with them.

From a long distance, I heard the sound of the emperor and Fu'er acting, although Qi Lv himself came up with this idea, let the emperor go to rape Fu'er, the louder the better, the more rascal the better, and the more unsightly the better.

Of course...

At this moment, Qi Lu was holding Chengpan, and the persimmon cakes in Chengpan seemed to have been shaken by an earthquake, Qi Lu's eyes were a little gloomy for a moment, staring at the emperor who was molesting Fu'er.

Qi Lu was a little confused, it was really weird why his mentality became so pretentious.

When the Son of Heaven saw Qi Lu coming, he asked Qi Lu complacently how his acting skills were, and Qi Lu said, "The realistic Lu thought that the Son of Heaven had plotted against Fu'er a long time ago."

Son of Heaven: "..." It's so difficult for me.

Although Qi Taifu's appearance is very pleasant and hard to see, but the emperor felt "wronged" in his heart for a moment. It was obviously Qi Taifu who asked him to moles Fu'er. Perseverance, and what kind of persimmon cake was used as a "threat", finally the emperor succumbed to Qi Taifu's despotic power.

The emperor was conflicted, on the one hand he was pleased with Qi Lu's food, on the other hand he felt helpless and wanted to laugh.

Qi Lu coughed, and withdrew his weird mind, saying in his heart that he can't be hypocritical, and hypocrisy is not suitable for this master.

Heibei was already stunned, he rushed out angrily, and stopped between the emperor and Fu'er, ready to risk his life, but unexpectedly, things turned around in an instant.

Heibei stood there blankly, and said, "This...is this?"

Qi Lu looked at Heibei with a smile and said, "General Heibei, how did you feel just now?"

Heibei said "Huh?" and looked at Qi Lu with a confused face.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Lü is asking General Heibei, how did it feel to rush out and scold the emperor just now?"

Hei Bei was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that he was so vicious just now, it was because the emperor molested Fu'er, and because the emperor humiliated his elder brother a while ago, Hei Bei couldn't stand it anymore.

There are only two people in his heart that he misses, one is a relative and the other is a person he admires. The emperor humiliated two of them in succession. Can Heibei not be angry?

Qi Lu twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Congratulations to the black-backed general. That's how it feels. Can you get it back? Back then, the black-backed general was a man who was not afraid of power. He sent Lu to prison as soon as he met him." An, how can the current black-backed general lose the courage of the past?"

Only then did Heibei understand that everything was a trap, and he seemed to have fallen into the trap.

He turned his head and saw Hei Jian, whose face was still slightly red. He heard the movement outside, walked out of the tent, and stared at Hei Back.

Heibei was stared at by his elder brother, for a moment he didn't know why, but felt a little guilty, and silently lowered his head.

The Son of Heaven frowned, and said to Qi Lu in a low voice: "Teacher, it's not good, I will shrink back when I see this black back."

Qi Lv handed Chengpan to the Son of Heaven, and the movement was very smooth, the Son of Heaven caught Chengpan smoothly, and immediately realized something was wrong after catching it, he acted like an eunuch serving him...

Qi Lu walked over, stood beside Heibei, and said lightly: "General Heibei, have you heard the story of a disabled general?"

The story that Qi Lu wants to tell is about the well-known General Fist of Chu State.

Of course, there is no General Fenquan these days, and General Fist Fist may not have been born yet, so Heibei must not know who Fist Fist is.

Qi Lv began to tell the story, regardless of whether Heibei would like to listen or not, he said: "The people of Chu have a general who has worked hard and made great achievements for the people of Chu. What do you think the general did?"

Hei Bei didn't move his eyes, as if he didn't hear it, but Qi Lv continued on, saying: "This general from Chu directly brought a weapon into the palace to remonstrate. At that time, their monarch was terrified and had no choice. I had no choice but to listen to the general's remonstrance. The general remonstrated and committed a capital crime, but the monarch felt repentant and felt that what the general said was very reasonable, so he began to work hard..."

but then……

Because of the remonstrance, General Fuquan found the King of Chu again, and confessed in front of the King of Chu, saying that he was a rebellious minister, and pointed his weapon at the king. The King of Chu had already forgiven General Fuquan. Wake up your heroes.

However, General Fuquan felt that if he set an "example" for others, and other people with ulterior motives also came to remonstrate, then the world of Chu State would be in chaos.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "So... this general broke his legs and became a lame man."

When Heibei heard this, his eyes finally trembled, and he turned his head to look at Qi Lu. He was still young and couldn't hide things in his heart. Hearing this, he said in a hoarse voice: "And then?"

Qi Lv said: "Then? The monarch is grateful to this general, and made the general who broke his legs become the door Yin."

The official positions of the people of Chu and the Central Plains are different. Menyin is actually in charge of the city gate. In this era, the people who can be in charge of the city gate are all the confidantes of the king.

Qi Lu looked at Heibei, even though Heibei was much taller and stronger than him, Qi Lu raised his head so naturally, it didn't look like looking up at all.

Qi Lu said: "General Blackback, do you think the general before the disability is more admirable, or the general after the disability is more admirable?"

Heibei was taken aback for a moment, his lips muttered twice, but he didn't make a sound.

Qi Lu raised his hand, patted the slightly hunched back of the black back, and said, "Remember, the person you should look down on the most is yourself. No one can look down on you, unless you also look down on yourself." Sorry."

Qi Lv's words were like a tongue twister, but they poured enlightenment into Heibei's heart. In an instant, Heibei seemed to be much more enlightened, and the feeling of self-pity and self-pity was swept away. Instead, a flame burned in his chest, non-stop burning.

The black-backed hunchback slowly straightened up, and his eyes narrowed.

Qi Lu didn't need him to speak, he already knew what the black back meant. The black back back then finally... came back again.

Qi Lu pointed to Zhou Gong Hei Jian, who had been standing in the distance and staring silently, Qi Lu said: "Go and see your brother, he sacrificed his beauty for you."

As Qi Lu spoke, he pointed to his cheeks, indicating that Duke Zhou's black-shouldered cheeks were still red.

Heibei listened, his voice rolled, his eyes were full of complexities, and he walked towards Heibei.Heijian was a little surprised when he saw him coming, because he also clearly felt that his brother's eyes were different.

Hei Jian was unable to speak, "Boom!" With a sound, Hei Bei was already in his arms, his hands could not use force, but he leaned tightly on Hei Jian, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, brother is wrong."

Hei Jian blinked several times in an instant, because his eye sockets were a little sore, and immediately hugged Hei Back, Hei Back was tall, Hei Jian could hardly hug him, lightly patted Hei Back's back, and said: "Nothing It's all over."

The two brothers hugged each other tightly. This scene was very warm. Coincidentally, Guo Gongji's father just came back from training soldiers and horses. As soon as he entered the camp, he encountered such a "warm" scene.

Hei Jian is originally a younger brother, and when he mentions his younger brother on weekdays, he seems to be different. When Hei Jian gets along with Guo Gongji's father, he always mentions his younger brother.

In fact, Duke Guo has already eaten the taste, and today he saw the two brothers embracing each other, and the taste is unusual.

The emperor saw that it was done, and the rest was to eat persimmons.

The emperor held Chengpan in one hand, and pulled Qi Lu with the other, signaling Qi Lu and himself to return to the emperor's camp.

When the two of them walked in, Qi Lu still had a strange expression, clearly writing the word "tasteful" on his face.

Ji Lin couldn't help laughing, picked up the persimmon in Chengpan, bit it down, and suddenly said "Huh?" and said, "Why is it sour?"

"Sour?" Qi Lu was taken aback, how could it be sour, could it be broken?

The emperor said, "If you don't believe me, try it."

Said, handing over the persimmon cake, Qi Lu took his hand, took a bite of the persimmon cake, the taste was delicate, and the sweet breath permeated between the lips and tongue instantly, where is the sourness?Not sour at all!

Qi Lu raised his head to look at the emperor, who suddenly showed a meaningful smile, and said slowly, "Oh, yes, maybe it's not the sour persimmon cake, it's the widow's... sour mouth."

When Qi Lu heard it, "Boom!", the "old face" who was usually fearless turned a little hot.

Qi Lu: "..." The Son of Heaven has become more and more serious, and he has actually connoted himself?
