The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Zhao Xiaozheng, who discovered his great-grandfather's sinister intentions, rolled up his sleeves and rushed back angrily, not forgetting to take away the small gift prepared by Lu An before leaving.

The sauce is made by the Lu family every year, and it has never been broken since it was still in Yewang City. Even when it was moving, it did not forget to remove the sauce jar.

Both the tastes of Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng were successfully biased after the soy sauce was made, and developed into a mysterious genre that everything can be soy sauce.But it is a pity that the geographical conditions of Xianyang in the Qin State are not suitable for making sauce. The fermentation of sauce needs to maintain a certain temperature. It is freezing and snowy here in winter, and it is difficult for probiotics to survive the winter.

So after entering Xianyang, Lu An has been making semi-fermented soy sauce for several years...that is to say, he mainly eats bean paste, not the kind of miso that eats sauce.Until there is a hot spring Zhuangzi, the sauce jar should be able to survive the winter safely in the future.

But this year's soy sauce production is still not much. After all, when he dug the sauce tank last year, he didn't know that he could have a hot spring room, and most of the soy sauce was divided in advance.

Now the soy sauce is made of the experimental products that he left behind to think about trying again at that time. These bacteria survived until the day with "heating" before the temperature dropped to the point where they lost their activity, so that they can successfully survive the winter. A one-year fermentation period is then completed.

Shrimp roe is a new product this year.

The manor given to Lu An by the King of Qin was utilized to the extreme by him. Since the beginning of spring, he has drawn spring water to store a pond, the water is no more than half a person's height, and he has planted water chestnuts and water chestnuts.

Both of these are not southern plants that can be grown well in the west, but the hot spring water temperature is high and the sunshine here is good, so they are growing well.

In addition, he also brought in some green prawns, which were a bonus product when Lu An ran to a nearby lake with a few cousins ​​to catch fish.

When I caught them, I felt that the number was not much, and the spring shrimps were not fat, so I threw them into the pond casually, but they didn't know that autumn gave them a surprise.

Shake and sieve the freshwater shrimp repeatedly in the water, shake the shrimp seeds into the water, filter and steam them with wine, then put them in the pot and fry the water dry with the remaining temperature, and then they can be kept for a long time.

These shrimp roe are delicious and fragrant, and it will have a unique flavor when sprinkled on anything, and the best way to reflect its taste is to serve it with bland tofu.

It is also high protein, but when the plant high protein meets the animal high protein, it is a feast for the taste.And if there is no sauce, the meeting between the two would be too strong, but now it is just the most harmonious.

Lu An took a few more pieces of tofu and put them down the well, told the servants at home to make them for Lu Buwei and Madam Lu, and then went to visit next door with a basket.

In the pre-Qin period, except for the honorable royal family, the general family ate two meals. They had breakfast after cleaning the farmland at eight or nine in the morning, and had dinner from three to five in the afternoon. At night, they closed their eyes and rested when the sun went down. It is the rhythm of life of ordinary people.But it is different for the aristocratic class with "night life". The main difference is that the aristocrats have money to light lamps, and half of them have to go to bed at [-] o'clock in the evening, so they have to add a supper.

When Lu An arrived next door, it was almost time for Wei Liao's family to have supper.

Although no one from the Wei family has yet entered the court, it is only a matter of time.Mr. Wei can be regarded as a young man, even if he can't go to the battlefield in the future, he is still a theoretical school with rich experience. Lu An has also seen the performance of Wei Liao's brothers in the martial arts field, and all of them have undergone professional training. The grades will never be bad, not to mention Brother Wei who is proficient in everything from literature to martial arts.

However, Qin State is still recuperating and has not recruited militiamen.

Therefore, the Wei family simply lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes at home. They went up and down the mountains every day and felt very uncomfortable. They didn't care at all that the house they bought with money was still in the hands of Lu Buwei.

Lu Xiaoan and Wei Liao's brothers got along well, they were all about the same age, and they were all brought up under the control of the Great Demon King Wei Liao, they had a common language, and the relationship was naturally good.

Knowing that it was their meal time, Lu An didn't intend to go in and disturb them. He handed the food to the concierge, and then wandered around and wanted to turn around and go home.He had just walked two steps and suddenly heard a rustling sound, and when he turned around, he met a pair of black horse eyes.

Lu An was taken aback.As soon as the eyes of the two sides met, the light brown-haired horse immediately became excited. It turned its head and bit off the rein that was tied to itself, then took two steps back and jumped out of the fence of Wei's house.

The steed stepped out, and rubbed the huge horse's head in front of Lu An. Its big eyes just looked at Lu An quietly. The "hint" in it couldn't be more obvious, but it was a step away from him reservedly. It seemed to be showing that he was a decent horse, not here to act like a baby.

Lu An was helpless, he stretched out his hand, and his palm was rubbed against his face very quickly. Obviously, no matter what he thought, Dodoma's body was very honest.

He skillfully stroked a few times and muttered, "Why are you acting so coquettish?"

Wei Liao's favorite horse let out a little breath, as if he was dissatisfied with his statement, but was soon captured by Lu An's skilled smoothing technique.He stepped on his two front hooves alternately, his big eyes were half closed, his long eyelashes hung on his eyelids, he looked docile and harmless - if Lu An didn't have that impression when he and Lu An met for the first time, probably I really have to believe it.

"A lot?" Just as Lu An finished touching his head, nose, and mane, and was about to hug it and touch its neck, a familiar voice came from the other side of the fence.

It was Wei Liao who found him.

Brother Wei, who came to look for the horse, quickly saw the broken rein. He rolled over in the direction of the broken rein, and met Lu An who was smiling awkwardly.

Although involuntary, in fact, Lu Xiaoan, who kidnapped someone else's beloved horse, had a particularly troubled expression, especially after Dodoma turned his head away from looking at him after the owner came, and felt like a third party .

"Is it unhappy?" Lu Xiaoan tried to find excuses for the senior brother who didn't like Ma.

"He's used to it." Wei Liao snorted softly, "He wanted to eat, but I didn't give it."

"This horse is too sweet." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lu An, the meaning of which was unclear.Lu An, who was greedy for sugar and wasted all his time trying to make maltose and finally stuck his teeth off, of course could only remain silent at this time.

It's really bad to have a brother who knows the black history!

He silently clenches his fist.

Wei Liao didn't know what he was thinking, he stretched out his hand forcefully to touch the head of Duoduo's horse who had turned his head in a fit of temper, and then pulled over the horse's head that insisted on sticking his big head to the junior brother's body.He easily dragged his four hooves on the ground and kicked the Duoduo horse that wanted to stay away from him, while turning his head to look at Lu An, "What the younger brother said a few days ago, Liao and his brothers have all said it, everyone is interested, sir I am also very supportive, and even divided a room in the academy for you and me to find out."

"Really?!" Lu An couldn't care less about interceding with Dodoma at the moment, he became excited, "Sir, do you really support us?"

"Yeah." Wei Liao looked at the little junior brother's round eyes, and took advantage of the opportunity to look at Dodoma, who was a little dissatisfied and was snorting with his nose. He felt that the junior brother was much cuter with the same round eyes.

Brother Wei couldn't help but reached out his hand and patted the younger brother's head lovingly, before the younger brother exploded, he said, "Liao originally planned to come to the door tomorrow, but now I just met the younger brother. When are you free? Let's go and find out which words we need first. Simplify it into a table, and then discuss with everyone how to make amendments.”

"Tomorrow." Lu An thought about the tasks of these days in his mind, and said without hesitation, "I already had a draft a few days ago, and sorted out some..."

"Coincidentally, Liao also sorted out some." Wei Liao raised the corners of his lips and looked at him slightly, "You and I will join together tomorrow, and if there is agreement, we can directly transcribe it."

"Okay." Lu An nodded.Thinking that Xun Qing actually agreed with his plan, Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes with a smile.

A few months ago, he was involved by Zhao Zheng and needed to copy "Qin Law". After copying, he found that the number of words in a single Qin Law was not many, but the Qin characters were complicated and complicated, so it took too long, so he had to modify the font idea.

Although this idea is not shocking, it is indeed non-mainstream.

In this era, the class that uses Chinese characters is mainly in the so-called aristocratic class of noble blood, and many of these people hold a mentality of being born and extraordinary.

To sum it up, it is——I was born noble, and I naturally have to be different from others in terms of basic necessities of life.In order to show the aristocratic demeanor, his personal hobby is to complicate simple things, whether it is the choice of words or sentences or clothing etiquette, they must be more complicated, as if this can make him appear superior to others.

This way of thinking is still very popular among the nobles, which also leads to the occasional grammatical and writing methods of characters going down the path of more complexity.

Of course, this kind of behavior usually does not last long, and the wheels of history will soon run over them.

But no matter what, there is really no one who is idle and free to figure out how to write this question, except for those aristocrats who are full.

In the process of historical development, the simplification of Chinese characters is usually promoted by the people at the bottom of the society. All purposes are to facilitate people's writing, and it is a process in which the bottom class influences the top class and finally the top class compromises.

The appearance of Qin Li is one, and the appearance of simplified characters is also one.

But now what Lu An and the others have to do is to do the opposite. They simplify the Qin characters, and then write to the upper echelons of the Qin State, and then promote it from top to bottom.

This is a whimsical move, and it is even more difficult. How to promote it and whether King Qin will adopt it are all problems.But young people have always done more and thought less.

Lu An and the others thought very openly. They believed that with the increasingly heavy paperwork, the use of simplified characters could greatly reduce the labor intensity. As long as people have the desire to be lazy, not adopting it now does not mean that they will not adopt it in the future.All in all, the future must be bright.

But the situation is different after Xun Qing joined.

As a first-class scholar in Qin State, Xun Qing's attitude is very important. If he thinks it is feasible, then King Qin will definitely consider it carefully.

And Xun Qing's advice to them is to simplify some glyphs but not to change the characters, but to change the radicals, from the simplification of the radicals to the change of Chinese characters.

The changes are especially those Chinese characters that are almost no longer used alone as characters themselves, but are very common as radicals and complicated characters, so that they can effectively avoid troubles and misunderstandings when using them.

This is not a small project, and how to simplify it also needs to be well-founded, preferably the simplified characters that have appeared in ancient books.

Fortunately, there are enough books on Xunqing's side, and looking through them one by one may be fruitful.

For the convenience of studying, Lu An talked to his family members and moved into the academy with his burden on his shoulders.However, as a day student, he does not have a dormitory here.

The school is not a private school, there are other teachers besides Xunzi here, and the school of teaching is not Confucianism, each school can come to the stage to explain their own theories.And every five days, the Ting Wei of the Qin State would send people to the academy to give lectures on the laws of the Qin State, and also share the cases of judgments.

Because the location of the Academy is outside the city, and there is a curfew in Xianyang City, most of the gentlemen who give lectures will arrive here in advance to stay for one night, so the dormitories in the Academy are very tight.

But Lu Xiaoan is not worried at all, he is going to find a bed with his junior brother!

That's right, Lu An has a younger brother!The younger brother is still an acquaintance.

It was the few young people who formed [the friendship between the two cattle] with him back then. Although they were older than him, they still called him senior brother according to the order of entry.

As non-Qin natives, these senior brothers all reported accommodation, and the one who had the best relationship with Lu An was his eighth junior brother—Han Fei.

The cattle are mainly paid for by him. The rations of Zhao Zheng, who was picky back then, mainly came from the Chu cow.Therefore, when Han Fei joined Xun Qing's family, Lu An took the most care of him.

Han Fei immediately agreed to the little brother's request. He is also very interested in correcting the font.

Of course, he also has selfish motives.

The writing reform is an unprecedented pioneering work, which is unheard of among the six countries. If the Qin State can succeed, then he can copy it back to Korea after observing how the Qin State's writing was reformed.

As Koreans, their fonts are mainly influenced by their old boss Jin.The state of Jin was a neighbor of the state of Qin back then, and they maintained a good-neighborly and friendly relationship with each other for a long time. The fonts of the two sides are similar, and the reference value is very high.

After agreeing with his junior brother, Lu Xiaoan was eager to carry his luggage, but he was shocked to find that his luggage and the bamboo scrolls he brought had disappeared!

The elder brother happened to pass by, and he was a little surprised to see his surprised look, "The sixth younger brother just moved your things away together."

"Where did you move to? On the other side, didn't the sixth brother tell you? He rented a house in the private house opposite the school."
