Since he came through time, he has always maintained the indifferent attitude of later generations towards family affection. His way of dealing with family affection in the jungle of reinforced concrete is mixed with a hint of empathy for her tragic fate, treating this sister who has the same father and mother as him.

He granted her the title of king, increased her fiefdom, and used a villa in one of the royal palaces as the princess' residence, but he never took the initiative to visit her. The last time he saw her was at the emperor's funeral, when he only glanced at her from a distance.

I never considered the little girl's desire for family affection.

So Fusu decided to take advantage of the break to prepare a dinner for his sister and his wives.

He brought Han Rang and several palace servants to the back kitchen of the Hot Spring Palace and ordered the new prime minister Luan Bu to prepare the ingredients. At the same time, he went to a corner of the kitchen and lifted the straw curtain covering the mouth of the vat.

Ah, this tank is bad, and so are those tanks; fortunately, this last tank did not disappoint me!

Fusu picked up a few purple sticky rice grains and examined them carefully. The red color on the sticky rice was from a kind of edible fungus he cultivated, Monascus rubrum. In the era before the invention of red-braised soy sauce, it was the most critical factor to ensure that he could happily enjoy red-braised pork. Of course, it could also be used to make old tofu and its derivative yuba products.

At the beginning of the Chinese New Year this year, in addition to the regular sacrificial offerings, he planned to add a bright red, moist, oily, fragrant and glutinous yuba chicken product in front of each tablet...

After inspecting the red Monascus species and asking the chef to steam a pot of rice, he also specially prepared the First Emperor's favorite Dragon Clan Infinite Jade Beads (meatballs) and included them in the recipe.

Soon, Luan Bu brought over two cooked roosters.

Well, thank you all for your support, thank you gentle sister, and every friend on Bilibili... Fusu tied on an apron and started his cooking journey.

With the help of the large sword in his hand, which had neither a five-star diamond nor any special skills, he cut the rooster into pieces and then put it back into the pot of water to clean it again.

Then put the peeled chestnuts by Han Rang into the hot oil and cook until the surface of the chestnuts turns slightly golden, then remove from the oil and drain.

Pour a little base oil into the wok, add the drained chicken, wait for the chicken pieces to turn slightly browned, pour in a proper amount of fermented rice wine juice from the side to remove the fishy smell, then add enough water to cover the chicken, boil and adjust the taste, and finally simmer for about half an hour. After the chicken is cooked, add the fried chestnuts to make the texture of both become soft, smooth and delicate. This simple but distinctive chestnut stewed chicken is ready.

While waiting for the chicken to be cooked, Fusu used straw to tie up the hairy crabs that had just been fished out of the Wei River and put them into the steamer.

Eat more of them before they transform into mythical beasts!

While Fusu was busy preparing dinner for his family, Li Shang, with the brave men from Yue he had recruited, quietly approached a stronghold in the forest in the quiet night.

Note: Thanks to "月应无痕" and "书友2021......9293" for providing monthly tickets! ?(`???`) My heart is full of love, thank you!

-Chapter 36 The Madam is here to receive the family rules...

“Are we really targeting this tribe?”

Li Shang lowered his voice and asked a Yue leader beside him. The mountain stronghold built on the mountainside was the same Ouyue tribe that raided them that day. According to the news, there were about a thousand Ouyue people stationed there.

Today's plan is to carry out an operation against the Ouyue tribe hidden deep in the forest under the leadership of a surrendered Ouyue leader.

"Yes, when I tortured the rebellious enemy, I felt very familiar with it. After asking the "Mo" (a general term for witch doctors) in the tribe, I got a definite answer that she was indeed the daughter of Yixusong, the ruler of Xiou State!" The chieftain spoke loudly in his stuttering Qin Dynasty language. His words were not refuted.

This move was credible to the Li Shang people. Because the tribe to which this patriarch belonged had already moved back to the old land in Panyu and Longchuan. If he concealed any information, the Qin team in the South China Sea could destroy the entire tribe at any time!

Li Shang waved his hand, and many ghost-like figures dispersed among the forest.

This is the strategy mentioned by Fusu, that is, to use the people of Yue to deal with the affairs of Yue. In the past, when the Qin army entered the campaign to eliminate the Yue tribe, it often encountered a dilemma:

Either the action is in vain,

Or they fell into a weird cycle - they took defensive resistance after being ambushed, defeated the tribe's armed forces... and then it ended. For some reason, the Qin team, who didn't know the road conditions, always saw those feet leaping quickly in the dense forest and disappearing without a trace in an instant!

Even though Qin troops who were equally adept at mountain operations were later transferred from Shu County, they were still unable to track down the monkey-like Yue people.

At this time, looking at the group of brave Yue soldiers under his command who were wearing leather armor, carrying long spears and short swords, and carrying long shields and wooden sticks on their shoulders but still marching silently, Li Shang realized that the doctor's bean (a small round hat) on his head would soon have to be changed into a more noble crown!

"Captain Li Gong, please believe me, after this victory...what will you think of my achievements...?" the Yue tribe leader asked with a flattering smile.

Lu Xun once said that there are two stages in history - one is when one tries hard to become a slave but ultimately fails, and the other is the period of stable slavery.

Clearly, many places in the South China Sea are experiencing both of these situations simultaneously.

"Please put your worries aside. The royal court will never mistreat anyone who is loyal to the country!" Li Shang patted him on the shoulder to express his trust in their close relationship.

One of our own! ...After hearing Li Shang's words, the leader of the Yue people straightened his body and smiled with pride.

"Do you have a daughter? The kind that has never lived with a man?" Li Shang turned around and asked this question thoughtfully.

The Yue leader was startled at first, then his expression became serious: "I only have two sons, no daughter..."

Suddenly, his eyes sparkled: "But, a few days ago, a new concubine was added. If Captain Li needs it, wait until we return to Panyu..."

However, Li Shang shook his head to indicate that he had misunderstood: "In fact, it is not that I want her, but this young man will stay in Nanhai County for some time, and it is impossible for him not to have a noble woman by his side. Look at the people around him, they are all mediocre in appearance!"

"In that case, I will think of other solutions."

He planned to drag Ziying into the matter, because among the Yue women he had brought there, the younger sister was already pregnant. If this news spread back to Xianyang, then Li Shiqi would really have to take off his scholar-official hat and teach him a lesson!

It would have been bad enough for him to marry a wife without permission and take two concubines, but now he has caused a murder.

In this case, how can the Li family find a suitable wife for him?

He was troubled by the lack of women in the village... It was said that the Ouyue people here were a matriarchal clan. He hoped that the leader of this tribe would be an inexperienced and beautiful woman. .. In a bush, Li Shang silently prayed to the sky for the blessing of the gods.

The leader of the Yue people standing next to him was extremely upset and regretted losing the precious opportunity to personally taste the delicious food of the great official Qin.

As dusk approached, the warriors of the Ouyue tribe returned from playing happily in the mountains. From the joy on their faces, it can be seen that the hunt was quite bountiful.

Under the careful arrangement of the Yue soldiers who were familiar with the mountains and forests and skilled in warfare, these Ouyue warriors were completely unaware of the presence of other people. They lit torches and opened the village gate openly, happily sharing their achievements with their family members.

"Captain Li, should we take action?" the Yue leader asked a little nervously.

According to his plan, he should have launched the attack earlier, making a surprise attack when the enemy was not prepared, and then taking the opportunity to raid the camp. This time, he not only won the victory, but also rushed back home to enjoy the dinner!

However, when he saw the scene in front of him, Li Shang just glanced at it without saying anything. Instead, he took out a cooled rice dumpling from his backpack and handed it to him.

"Let's wait a moment!" After saying just these simple words, Li Shang took out another zongzi and said while eating it.

It turned out that the twin sister had specially prepared a loving lunch for him. The Emperor of Heaven often said, "Children grown in Huainan will become delicious dishes." This fierce little girl instantly turned into a soft and docile little lamb in front of him... But when night fell, this seemingly gentle sheep tore off its fur and turned into a vicious wolf!

Li Shang chewed the cold rice dumplings while looking at the castle of the Ouyue people. The situation was just as Ren Xiong had described. They were brave and fearless in battle, but they had no strategy or tactics; even whether there were guards around them was irrelevant.

In stark contrast, the castle itself displays a certain standard in design: it is built of rough timber, covered with moisture-proof earth, and has unstable arrow towers as a defensive feature – located only at the entrance.

All this is very different from what people often say about the livelihood of the Ouyue people, who live a simple life just like living with wild animals.

That is, after the leader who came to report the news to the castle arrived, otherwise, Ren Xiong would probably have driven him away.

However, Ziying had a different view on this: According to the "Yi Zhou Shu·Wang Hui Jie", as early as the Shang Dynasty, there was an imperial decree that the vassal states in the southern region such as Ouyue should pay tribute to the Han Dynasty. This shows that during the Shang Dynasty, the primitive ethnic groups in the south were also regarded as an integral part of Huaxia. Therefore, it was natural that they had the skills of town construction for a short time.

We further learned that although the construction date of the castle could not be verified, the fortune teller, who was nearly fifty years old, revealed that his ancestors had built a castle here more than a hundred years ago.

After arriving, the soldiers shared the remaining rice dumplings with their followers, and then lay down to rest. According to the plan, they would launch a surprise attack at dawn. The next scene was completely different from the previous one:

Compared with the soldiers who could only rely on rough food and sleep in the wild, the atmosphere of the family banquet held in the Tangchi Palace seemed particularly cheerful and lively.

A roasted chicken dish and a stir-fried carp were widely praised, but the white shrimp (i.e. hairy crab), Fusu's favorite mythical beast, did not seem to be popular. There was only one reason for this - it lacked meat and was more complicated to prepare.
