Three Kingdoms

Following the guidance of the hussar soldiers, Chen Qun followed behind, bypassing a forest, and then his eyes suddenly opened up. He followed a winding corridor and walked several times before entering a small garden.

This is a villa in the south city of Chang'an. After walking here, Chen Qun couldn't help but be stunned. He had been walking around in Chang'an City for the past few days, but he didn't realize that there was a special cave here. In such a In a big city, you can still find peace in the bustle. There is such a rural villa.

Chen Qun had also heard about the housing prices in Chang'an, so it must not be something Guo Jia could buy with his personal financial resources. It must be a villa belonging to General Hussar.

Chen Qun lowered his eyes, as if to cover up the thoughts in his heart...

The escort of the Hussar General led him into the other courtyard. Not far ahead, he could see a person sitting in the hall. It was Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao whom he had not seen for a long time.

Guo Jia was wearing old clothes, half sitting and half lying down lazily.

Guo Jia didn't attend Fei Qian's wedding at all. The reason for not attending was very simple. Chen Qun naturally knew this.

But there are still many things Chen Qun doesn't know...

Guo Jia slowly raised his head and saw Chen Qun. His eyes were wandering up and down, as if he was carefully studying Chen Qun, or thinking about something, and did not immediately greet Chen Qun for a while.

Chen Qun took a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have seen Jijiu... I know that the new leader of Jijijiu is taking the exam in Xijing. I don't know what I saw. As expected, his style is even more magnificent, which makes people envious..."

Guo Jia raised his head and laughed, then pointed to his side, "Since an old friend is here, I am rude... Sit down, sit down..."

Chen Qun thanked him and then sat down beside him upright, which was completely different from the lazy Guo Jia.

"Today, I am staying in Beijing for wine. This place is very beautiful and can be called a great place..." Chen Qun said slowly, with a gentle smile, as if he was just chatting, without any special meaning.

Guo Jia was surprised, then shook his head and said, "Is Chang Wen trying to harm someone?" 』

Chen Qun cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare." 』

Guo Jia smiled, waved his hand and said, "Or are you just relying on this and not afraid?" 』

Chen Qun was silent, and after a moment he said, "Isn't this what you want to do to sacrifice wine?" 』

Guo Jia suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Come here, serve tea!" 』

Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, then looked around, sniffed again, rolled his eyes twice, and then looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also looked at Chen Qun.

Servants came and went, placed a small stove in front of the hall, and boiled water for tea. Neither Guo Jia nor Chen Qun spoke until the tea was brewed and brought to the table for two people, and the servants withdrew again.

Many people tend to be biased against reading comprehension in later education. They believe that the answers to the so-called "reading fragments" in Chinese language books are formulated according to a certain standard and are not the original author's ideas. In this way, in fact, there are It makes sense, but these people have not thought more deeply about why they understand it this way, or why this answer is the standard answer that can get points?

Politics is an issue that will inevitably arise after the emergence of human classes. In politics, many things cannot and will never be explained so clearly that a person who does not have the ability to "read and understand" can clearly understand what happened. , or what are the advantages and disadvantages, just like in future generations, if you put a book of law in front of you and read it at any time, no one may be able to understand the mystery.

Living in Beijing and enjoying great beauty, this is "Zheng Beike Duan Yu Yan".

If you want to do harm and speak out, this is the "Baigong Rebellion of Chu State".

Chen Qun said he didn't dare, but Guo Jia said he wasn't afraid. He was saying "show happiness and reward all the masters".

As for the latter part, it is more simple and straightforward. Those who clamor for water coming and going every day must understand it clearly...

The relationship between Guo Jia and Chen Qun is not very good. In other words, the two people are from different classes. Chen Qun is from the Chen family in Yingchuan, and although Guo Jia is also a descendant of the Guo family in Yingchuan, Guo Jia is from a poor family. So to a certain extent, Chen Qun looked down on Guo Jia, and Guo Jia looked down on Chen Qun.

Some people say that Chen Qun and Xun Yu are very similar. Chen Qun is a simplified version of Xun Yu, or a deputy. Therefore, Chen Qun is a dispensable role in the Cao Group, but he can actually say such things. People must have little political experience. The first-in-command is indeed very important, and everyone's attention will be focused on Nanbowan, but can the second-in-command be ignored? The deputy county magistrate is not the county magistrate, and the deputy general manager is not the general manager? The level is over there, and the position is over there. If you ignore the deputy position casually, you will definitely be driven to ecstasy by the deputy position easily.

What's more, most of the time, the deputy position is responsible for specific projects, while the principal position is mainly responsible for personnel and financial rights, and is not responsible for specific matters.

Just like Chen Qun, although the examination system was proposed primarily by Xun Yu and assisted by Chen Qun, it was still Chen Qun and not Xun Yu who was mainly responsible for the details of specific matters.

After some testing, both Guo Jia and Chen Qun had some understanding of the current situation.

"Xijing Kaozheng, since your majesty has favored me, Jiayi dare not say thank you." If it is said to be great and beautiful, who can compare to Hussar? Even though it is a long article with a beautiful voice, it is well-known in Hebei and Henan. It can be said that it is noble and noble, but it is not as good as it is. ” Guo Jia put down the tea bowl and said slowly.

Chen Qun cupped his hands and said, "Spring flowers and autumn fruits are just one branch." Regardless of the external affairs, brother Fengxiao is naturally still an old friend of Yingchuan. As the saying goes, keep walking steadily and never forget where you came from. I am a man of low intelligence and stupidity, and I treat people and things poorly. Even if I get a bad reputation and praise that is not true, I am really ashamed of myself. 』

When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled again. "Zhangwen comes and goes freely, but someone is trapped in Chang'an. Although his eyes and ears are still there, he is no different from being blind. Now I see old friends, reunite and recall yesterday, and I complained for a while. Please forgive me, Zhangwen." 』

Chen Qun lowered his head, sighed slightly, and then said: "I don't know where the prosperity is near Chang'an. Can I take a look?" 』

Guo Jia nodded slightly and said, "I wonder if Changwen has ever been to Qinglong Temple?" "When Guo Jia was talking about Qinglong Temple, he had a strange expression on his face...

Chen Qun's eyes moved slightly and said, "I haven't had time yet." "This is not an excuse. Chen Qun has been wandering around Chang'an City these days and has not really gone out of the city to go anywhere else.

Guo Jia raised his head and said: "Now that early spring has arrived, everything is flourishing, and the dragon's head is on the plain, which is a great scene..."

Chen Qun nodded and said, "Keep this in mind and take a closer look." 』

Guo Jia also nodded, then lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

Chen Qun's eyes fell on Guo Jia's face, and suddenly he noticed that Guo Jia seemed to have a few more gray hairs on his temples. Although his face looked rosier than when he was in Yingchuan, there was a hint of loneliness between his eyebrows. Of course, this was also the reason why Chen Qun initially felt that Guo Jia was living a good life. After all, the rosiness on his face was easier to see, but what was deep in his eyes was not something that could be seen with just one or two glances.

Overall, Guo Jia seems to be healthier than when he was in Xuxian County, Yingchuan, but he has lost the sharpness he had in Yingchuan, like a long sword that has been blunted, dim and dull.

The two sat in silence for a while, and finally said nothing. Chen Qun stood up to say goodbye. Guo Jia had no intention of sending him far away. He just stood in front of the hall and watched Chen Qun leave.

Guo Jia turned around and returned to the hall, sat down, and did not move for a long time. Finally, he slowly exhaled a breath, and then he lay down on the wooden board in the hall, as if the breath just now was The breath of Werther's skin is like a breath, and when he spits it out, Werther can no longer retain his original form.

If a young woman was robbed by a group of robbers and now had the opportunity to take her back, what would the family of this woman do?

Please note that the interval between what should be done and how to actually do it is by no means just two symbols and one word.

Of course, it is too much to say that Fei Qian is a robber. After all, Fei Qian gave Guo Jia the corresponding position, salary, and even residential servants, etc. It should be more like a company, using the position, salary, company, apartment, etc., and then exchanged it for Guo Jia The spirit of classmate Guo Fengxiao has been staying near the company for a long time. He must be on duty even after get off work and cannot leave easily...

Some are like 996 or even 007. So faced with such a situation, what would "this woman" or "this woman's family" think and what would they do?

What should be done, and how is it actually done?

Some people may say that one is unpaid and the other is paid, but what if the copycat leader offers the "copycat lady position"? One person is superior to others, and he can even give money and send people home. At the same time, he also said that in the future, the village will recruit people, and then there will be some shares. It is hard to say for a first-grade lady, but it is very possible for a seventh-grade lady...

Maybe some people say that one restricts freedom and the other does not, so the "Copycat Lady" also has no restrictions on her activities in the copycat? And there is no concept of overtime, and there is no need to hold mobilization meetings at midnight from time to time?

Then the rest can be said to be voluntary and unwilling, so those 996 and even 007 are all voluntary and spontaneous? Like those people who voluntarily took a pay cut?

Yingchuan is Guo Jia's home, but now, Guo Jia knows that he can't go back.

He was not welcomed at home.

In other words, most people don't welcome him.

After all, the tea is cool when people leave. The more you drink the wine, the hotter it becomes, and the more you drink the tea, the colder it becomes.

This is one of the reasons why Guo Jia serves tea instead of wine.

While Chen Qun was visiting Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang was also eating and drinking at Pang Tong's house.

It has to be said that Pang Tong is a person who is full of infinite love for food, a person who has a very high pursuit of fats and oils, and a person who has escaped from low-grade carbohydrates...

The peach wine in the exquisite silver pot from the Western Regions is like bright red blood, exuding this sweet smell in the air. Even if there is no pure transparent glass of later generations, the colorful glass cup can still show Its unique charm.

"In the past two days, there will be about a hundred carts of peach wine entering Guanzhong... That guy likes this kind of wine the most. When you go, don't bring anything else. If you bring a bottle ……hehe……"

Pang Tong said slowly, then shook the glass cup slightly. This action was learned from the Cavalry General Fei Qian. It is said that it can make the drink sweeter, but there is also a limit for shaking. If it exceeds the time limit, it will not be beautiful.

This is very much in line with the Chinese Doctrine of the Golden Mean.

Pang Tong thought this action was very interesting, so he would do it every time he drank peach wine, and was even willing to show it to Zhuge Liang so that his friends could learn and master this skill together.

However, Zhuge Liang felt that this action was not very elegant, like an alcoholic staring at the drink and salivating, so Zhuge Liang just placed the wine glass on the table and did not do what Pang Tong said.

Pang Tong didn't mind either.

When he was under Lu Mountain, Zhuge Liang was like a bird. He was young but very independent and did not change his mind easily.

"So...come this time, just to take a look?" Pang Tong took a sip of his drink and then said.

Zhuge Liang nodded.

Pang Tong shook his head, "What a pity..."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Yi from bottom to top and said, "If Liang stays here for a long time, what will happen to Jingzhou?" 』

"Liu Jingsheng really can't hold on anymore?" Pang Tong asked, "Are you trying to be mysterious?" It seems that Liu Jingsheng himself caused the disturbance last time? 』

Zhuge Liang nodded and then drank. He felt that the peach wine was slightly astringent and indeed had some indescribable sweetness, but it didn't seem to be any better than the best millet and other wines.

"This is a little difficult..." Pang Tong frowned slightly.

In fact, Pang Tong also discussed the issue of Jingzhou with Fei Qian very early on. For this rotating portal of the Central Plains, most of the time it is an area that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Even if Jingzhou is captured, Cao Cao will be The alertness has been greatly increased, and they may even unite with Jiangdong...

Because now Fei Qian and Cao Cao are still separated by some walls and doors. Even though Cao Cao knows that Fei Qian is doing trouble next door, there is still some distance after all. If Fei Qian owns Xiangyang, then he only needs two people anytime and anywhere. In just one day, the cavalry could be used to attack Xu County. This was almost equivalent to the fact that Lao Cao didn't even have to wear any clothes and was directly exposed to the outside. Although it was ventilated and breathable, it was easy to catch a cold and burp.

While he was talking, some figures were moving in the corridor. Pang Tong's nose suddenly twitched. He put his worries aside, clapped his hands and said, "Haha, the incense arrived before the people arrived!" 』

This is also the Western food modified by Fei Qianmo...

In other words, slate burning.

Very early on, humans invented the method of baking food on stone slabs. In other words, stone slabs were actually the predecessor of pots. Later, with the advent of pots and cauldrons, naturally fewer stone slabs were used in the wild, but now Fei Qian has started to use them again. There was a wave of slate-burning in Guanzhong.

The servants came in twos and twos, and did not enter the hall directly, but stopped for a while outside the hall. This was a relatively safe distance, which would not allow the fumes to splash on the nobles, but also allow the nobles to directly to see, hear and smell food-related information,

A cook stepped forward, first saluted Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, then opened the brass cover on the stone slab, first sprinkled some spice powder, then poured in distilled alcohol, and finally lit it, and instantly a burst of flames roared. The sound rose up, causing the color of the surface of the thick piece of beef on the stone plate to change rapidly.

The flames mix the aroma of wine and spices with the aroma of beef fat, and the alcohol that burns and evaporates quickly does not make people feel greasy, but instead irritates people's mouth and nose even more, unconsciously. Saliva was secreted.

According to personal preference, the cook fine-tunes the cooking time. Pang Tong likes medium-rare and a little over, about six minutes, but Zhuge Liang obviously hasn't eaten this kind of food much before, so medium-rare or medium-rare is relatively more acceptable. Therefore, it was served to Pang Tong first, and then to Zhuge Liang, which perfectly corresponded to their respective beef cooking levels.

The entire hall was suddenly filled with a rich fragrance. This fragrance, in a certain way, was also the smell of wealth. From copper lids to beef, from spices to spirits, from the day this dish was born, it was destined not to be a cuisine for ordinary people.

"Watch it while it's hot!" 』

Pang Tong only had time to say these three words, and then he cut off a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. If it had been later, he might have drooled out.

The slightly charred skin, the still tender meat inside, the juice that bursts out when chewing, the original taste of beef combines the aroma of oil, wine, and spices. This complex and indescribable mixed taste bursts out on the tongue's taste buds. At this time, every DNA hidden in the body was suddenly awakened, cheering and cheering that this was an excellent source of nutrients.

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes slightly and chewed, then nodded, "It's indeed good." 』

Pang Tong laughed, feeling a simple joy in Zhuge Liang's approval, as if he had shared a good thing with his friends, and his friends also liked it, which was enough to satisfy him and make him happy.

Although people are omnivores, many, or most, people like to eat meat. At least most children do this when they are young, until they start not to eat meat due to certain things or reasons. . The feeling of fullness brought about by the fat in meat is completely different from the feeling of fullness brought about by pure carbohydrates without fat at all.

To eat meat, ordinary people must be stronger, otherwise not only will they not have meat to eat, but they may also be eaten.

"What you mean... Well, that's about it anyway. What do you want?" "Although the piece of meat was large, there was still time to finish eating it. After waiting for the servants to remove the tableware and other items, Pang Tong said, "You must have reached a unified opinion? 』

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

Pang Tong shook his head, "This is not good." 』

Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong, "That's why I didn't go to Hussar, I came to you first..."

Pang Tong was silent, then he held Rourou's chin and said, "Look at the meat just now. It's just beef. If I think mutton is good, add a piece. Pork seems to be good, too. Add it. Then add chicken, duck or something." Yes, even if the cooking method is still the same, the taste is different... And if there is too much meat, it will be difficult to control the heat. Maybe some are burnt, maybe some are not yet cooked..."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "That's true." But if you say you have to wait until they are all cooked, I am afraid that some of them will be taken away and eaten by others first..."

Pang Tong sneered and said, "If you eat it, you have to spit it out..."

"He who eats it will definitely not be willing to spit it out. Naturally, we have to take action again. "Zhuge Liang said, "In that case, why not take action earlier, and why cause more trouble later? 』

Pang Tong tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that you still don't understand..."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said, "I understand." Although the lotus stands tall and tall in the water, its roots are in the mud. If it has no roots, wouldn't it be like a duckweed? 』

Pang Tong suddenly smiled and said, "Wrong." you are wrong. I read it wrong. 』

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment.

"This looks like Lian Ping, but it's actually a cow and horse!" ” Pang Tong laughed, then patted the table, “I never thought that you, Kong Ming, might be wrong sometimes! Haha, hahaha! 』

Zhuge Liang seemed to be still calm, but his eyebrows couldn't help but jump...
