Chapter 312 [Boiled fish]

The most prosperous cities in the pre-Qin period were not Yanjing, Haishi, but Daliang, the capital of the Wei State at this time. Historical scholars hold different views on the time when the King of Wei moved the capital of Daliang, including the "four-year theory", "six-year theory", "nine-year theory", "eighteen-year theory", and "thirty-one-year theory". According to the inscription bronzes unearthed later, the "six-year theory" can basically be determined, that is, the sixth year theory of King Hui of Wei, and the capital of Daliang in 365 BC.

At this time, the Wei Kingdom was definitely the most powerful country in the world. Not only did it take Wei Kingdom as a vassal state, but it also made the princes of Huai and Si frightened. Everyone had to look at Wei Ying's expression. At this time, Daliang City had more than one million people in the city, which was truly shoulder to shoulder, sweating like rain, and it looked like a provincial capital city in later generations.

When entering Daliang City, Bai Dong sighed secretly. Compared to Daliang and Liyang, it is a small town! Look at the prosperity of this city. Standing at the entrance of the street, you can see shops and inns everywhere. Any small restaurant can surpass the unique Yueji family restaurant in Liyang City. Even the people who come and go in the restaurants are fluttering and the scholars with a crown and sword. Being able to gather wealth from the world is nothing, but being able to gather talents from the world is a strong country. It seems that Wei Ying has done it at present.

"Wei State is too strong, Lao Qin is no match for others..."

Nie Zhu noticed the copper and iron smith shops on the street. After walking into a few stores, he shook his head and sighed. He was an expert, so he could naturally see that the iron smelting technology of Wei State is far superior to that of Qin State. There are also such copper and iron shops in Liyangguan City, but what are the pieces in the shops? Most of them are just agricultural and industrial tools. Look at the copper and iron shops of Wei State, which not only contain agricultural and industrial tools, but also bows, crossbows, swords and swords. He even saw half of the copper leaf armor in a shop, which was hung on a whole wall! I heard people say that everyone in Wei State had three layers of heavy armor, and arrows were hard to get close to. I was a little suspicious, but now I believe it completely. No wonder Wei State is the overlord of the world. With this foundation, it may not be possible to catch up with Qin State if I give it ten years.

"Let's go, go to Huiwenguan. The General's Mansion is near Huiwenguan. If Sun Bin walks out of the General's Mansion, he will definitely not be able to escape our eyes..."

What Bai Dong was worried about was not how prosperous and powerful the Wei State was, but Sun Bin! Since he came to this era, many things have changed quietly, and Sun Bin has actually gone down the mountain ahead of time? Now with the suppression of him, Bai Zi of the old Qin State, will Pang Juan still harm Sun Bin as much as in history?

With Sun Bin's feelings for Pang Juan, as long as Pang Juan does not do anything wrong to him, he will probably not go to Qi as a military advisor. If the two major military and legalists in the early Warring States Period worked together for Wei, it would be terrible.

Sun Bin was still not famous at this time. In fact, even Sun Bin in history was tricked by Pang Juan and tried every means to find Qi envoy. After Qi envoy verification, he helped him leave Wei State. Therefore, after Sun Bin left the mountain, he did not attract much attention from the country, and he did not secretly hide it. Shortly after he arrived in Wei State, he was discovered by people from Jingjian.

Jingjian actually finds it difficult to understand why Bai Dong attaches so much importance to Sun Bin. Pang Juan’s reputation was made. So what if Sun Bin is a disciple of Guiguzi? Before he can’t prove himself, he is only a scholar from a hundred schools of thought. He needs the famous Bai Zi to see him in person?

Ying Quliang and Jing Jian attached great importance to Sun Bin entirely because of Bai Dong. Shortly after Bai Dong entered the Wei State, Ying Quliang personally ordered the Seiqing Office to send out almost all the "agents" of the Qin State. Now, there are double-digit Qin State "agents" wandering around in front of the General's Mansion every day. Some dressed as small vendors selling miscellaneous goods, some dressed as foreign scholars, some dressed as old wives, and pretty widows. As soon as Bai Dong approached the Huiwenguan, several people immediately came close to him. These were masters of the Seiqing Office of the Qin State, and received the order from Jing Jian to protect Bai Dong secretly.

"The Sun Bin you are going to meet really leaves the General's Mansion and goes to the 'Yixiang Pavilion' to make new clothes. Pang Juan seems to be very good to him. He originally wanted the tailor to come to measure clothes. Sun Bin must go out, so he can let him."

Nie Zhu got the news from the Qin spies and soon passed it back to Bai Dong. Bai Dong nodded to the fleas, and the fleas went to Yixiang Pavilion under the leadership of several Qin spies, and Bai Dong turned around and entered the Huiwen Pavilion. This restaurant is also the property of the Fan family. Now the Fan family and Bai Dong have formed an alliance, and it is convenient and safe to act here. Not to mention seeing a Sun Bin, even if you kill a few people here, the Fan family can settle it.

Sun Bin was very happy today. As soon as he measured his figure, a beautiful and charming woman came to meet him. Qingxi Guigu said it nicely, but in fact it was just a broken valley with nothing to want. It would be fine if he couldn't eat well and dress well. Every day, he was in the inspiration of youth. What happened to the military sage in the future? He was also a flesh-and-blood young man. He would be happy when he saw a beautiful woman. He thought of looking at him more and listening to the other party say a few more words.

Moreover, the girl clearly stated that it was Lao Qin's junior brother Bai who came and wanted to invite him to drink. The junior brother invited his senior brother to drink. This is a 'ritual' and he had to go! Pang Juan was too ignorant of life. The General's Mansion was either stewed meat or stewed fish, but there were few fine dishes. Sun Bin's mouth had long faded out of birds.

When Pang Tong heard that it was Bai Dong's invitation, he was shocked. Seeing that he could not stop him, he had to send a Pang family to accompany Sun Bin to, and he ran back to the mansion to report the news. Unexpectedly, Pang Juan had not returned to the mansion even before he returned to the mansion. He was so anxious that he brought a few generals to the Huiwenguan, but was blocked by the Fan family on the first floor.

Where is Huiwenguan? The people who can climb to the second floor of the Yazhai are not the contemporary scholars, or at least some scholars from literary names. Slaves like him can only wait on the first floor. Pang Tong also knew that the Fan family was a huge merchant in the world and could not provoke them, so he had to eat and drink on the first floor accompanied by a few people who claimed to be Bai's family. He calculated the morning court time in his heart. When the general came back, he would return to his house to report, but now he was reckless. After all, the general and Bai Zi also came out of the same school, and were not outsiders.

Sun Bin didn't know that Pang Tong was about to break his legs when he was going back and forth. He was eating and drinking at this moment, and was in a very happy mood. Compared to his senior brother, this junior brother Bai is a wonderful person. Look at the dishes he ordered, all of which are exquisitely styled and elegant. The sugar-stewed lotus seeds also use fragrant glutinous rice, which is sweet and glutinous. It makes people want to take a look after it is eaten? And the tender syrup tofu is actually made from the cellar. The tender yellow and tender tofu is added to the tender tofu, and stewed with bone soup. It tastes fragrant but not greasy, and melts in the mouth... This is the dish that people can eat! Even the chef in Huiwenguan can't make it, so Junior Brother Bai personally gave me some advice. Then he prepared the ingredients, which are deeply in my heart and deeply in my heart! Compared to the dishes such as Junior Brother Bai, the big pieces of meat in the senior brother's house have to be thrown away!

Who is Sun Bin? He was the descendant of Sun Wu, a military saint. He was once a noble family. Although his family was in decline and he ran to Guigu at the age of nine, he still had the ability to appreciate it. Compared with him, how could Pang Juan, a commoner, know how to eat? The nouveau riche will never become a noble.

"Senior Brother Sun has suffered... Although I have never been to Qingxi Guigu, I can still imagine the hardships. Now that I have left the mountain, I should live a life of "eating without getting tired of fine stews and fine stews". How can Senior Brother Pang know how to eat? If Senior Brother Sun is happy about this, he should look for me. Come on. Taste this 'boiled fish', using good fish slices. The 'Qin pepper' with my old Qin specialty has a very unique taste. If you don't eat it, you can't eat it well. Senior Brother Sun might as well taste it?"

Originally, when welcoming Sun Bin was just out of politeness, I realized that this military saint was still a foodie, and he would have weaknesses. How could Mr. Hong Qi accept Guo Jing, a silly boy? Isn’t it because he likes to eat?

Bai Dong smiled and opened the lid of a porcelain jar, and a spicy aroma came to his nose. Nie Zhu, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly shook his face, and the fleas couldn't help but sneeze two or three times. This Sichuan cuisine from later generations was actually not perfect, and the "Qin pepper" produced by Lao Qin was far inferior to the peppers of later generations. Fortunately, the "pepper" native to China was more pure than the ones in later generations.

Bai Dong has made this dish in Baijiazhuang. He likes it very much, but changes color when he sees it. The fleas sweat when they see it when they see it. They didn't even eat it, but they felt that they were numb and spicy, and they just wanted to drink water.

Sun Bin sniffed the aroma of boiled fish deeply, closed his eyes and intoxicated himself for a while, then opened his eyes, picked up a piece of white and tender fish meat, and put it into his mouth with the pepper granules and Qin pepper shreds. After chewing it a few times, he shook his head and sighed, "It's so numb, so spicy, so good taste! I heard that Qin pepper is spicy, only the Qin people can taste it. It's true that the taste is unique and unforgettable!"

"The taste is second. My senior brother has been in Qingxi Guigu for a long time. The mountains are very wet. Over the years, even if my mentor uses medicine to help you remove moisture, the body will inevitably become cold. Do you often like heat and hate cold, have stomach and abdominal pain? Don't be afraid. As long as you eat more Qin pepper, you can drive away the cold in your body and you will no longer be afraid of cold. My senior brother, and I also have to try this special Qin wine. This product is perfect for boiled fish. You can't drink it in the palace of Wei."

"Oh? That senior brother really wants to taste it."

Sun Bin was sweating all over his head, and he felt the warmth in his abdomen. As expected, there was no hidden pain of coldness and lingering on weekdays. At this moment, he heard another fine wine, and his eyes suddenly shone. He took the wine glass and dries. He immediately felt a hot stream rushing into his abdomen, as if a hot spring was opened in his stomach. The warm spring water quickly moved around. He was comfortable and narrowed his eyes slightly and praised: "Good wine, good food! Junior Brother Bai really knows how to enjoy it."

"What's this? I'm in Wei State and I carry a limited amount of food and wine. If my senior brother goes with me to Lao Qin, I promise that there are fresh dishes for my senior brother to taste every day. I'll prepare a few new wines..."

"really?"

Sun Bin's eyes lit up when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No, if I go, Lao Qin will never see Juan again. I will miss him..." (To be continued...)
