Chapter 731 Visitors from Liaodong
??As the city gate opened, more and more people entered Pingyang City. The sounds of various merchants selling goods could also be heard on the streets. A lot of people gathered in front of the newly opened bun shop.
??Water-powered mills provided finer wheat flour, and fermentation technology created a unique soft taste in the Han Dynasty. The Hu people also provided beef and mutton that were cheaper than other places, so the unique beef and mutton buns in Pingyang were born...
Of course, in the Han Dynasty, people were more accustomed to calling it meat buns, but it is said that the so-called "baozi" was first called Fei Qian by the guard of the Hungarian Zhonglang. Therefore, many people closely followed the pace of the times and began to call it "baozi". It''s made of steamed buns.
After all, China has a good tradition in this regard. Just like in later generations, as long as leaders wear black-rimmed spectacle frames, they will be wearing black-rimmed spectacle frames on stage and off stage. When the next leader changes to metal spectacle frames, then the optical shop will A lot more business...
However, this kind of steamed buns tastes good and is plentiful, so it is very popular with the people. As long as money is not too tight, many people will buy a few here, either for themselves or to take to their families, resulting in a dozen steamed bun shops here. The big pots are lined up in a row, and the heat from the steamer basically never stops. They are busy all day long.
??A strong man just walked out of Qingyinpu and was attracted by the scent of the newly released steamed buns. He couldn''t help but swallow his saliva, and then came in search of the fragrance.
"Baozi! Hot steamed buns! One for five cents, three for ten cents! Take it, be careful not to burn it..." The waiter at the bun shop shouted loudly while collecting the steamed buns skillfully, and then put the steaming buns one by one. The steamed buns are cushioned with small pieces of wood or straw frames and handed to the people who buy the steamed buns.
The steamed buns are not cheap, but they are not too expensive either. Even if the average person has a big appetite, they will be full after eating two or three, and they will definitely feel full after eating four or five. However, it is different for those with extraordinary talents...
?Just like today, people who came to buy steamed buns did not leave immediately, but gathered around to watch the fun.
The strong man also joined the crowd and took a look. He saw two soldiers sitting opposite each other on the seats next to the bun shop. One of them was even stronger. Even when he was sitting, he was nearly as tall as a person. He had a thick long The bench seemed to be groaning in pain...
Ling Jie and Wei Du sat opposite each other. There were seven or eight steamers piled on the table beside them. Each steamer had seven buns. In total, the two of them had eaten at least fifty buns, and this amount seemed to be quite large. To increase the signs,
Ling Jie looked at Wei Du who stuffed a bun into his mouth after a few bites, and asked hesitantly: "How''s it going? Eat...are you full? Uh, okay...man! Another drawer! Forget it...two more drawer!"
Ling Jie only ate ten of them, and Wei Du ate the rest by himself. Ling Jie looked at Wei Du who was happily eating with black vinegar. On the one hand, he felt distressed, but on the other hand, he felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Wei Du was invited to eat meat buns. If he was just invited to eat meat, Wei Du would probably be able to do it. Ling Jie''s own military pay for a year was eaten up...
The strong men onlookers watched Wei Du eating happily, and unknowingly, three of his buns fell into his stomach. He touched his belly and thought about it, then went back and bought six more, and put them in a simple straw frame to carry them. , then walked towards the north of the city.
When he arrived at a small courtyard, the strong man looked up, then opened the courtyard door and walked in.
Tai Shiming was walking around in the yard. When he saw the strong man, he quickly came up to him and said, "Cousin, you want to go out this early in the morning without even saying a word..."
??The strong man laughed and said: "What''s wrong? Are you worried that I will get lost? Look, this is...well, a freshly baked...baozi!"
?The two brothers sat down in the courtyard, each took a bun and started eating.
Tai Shiming took two bites, then turned and said: "Cousin, you were the one who kept asking me how I was doing yesterday... In the past few years, you have been to Liaodong, how have you been..."
The strong man''s hand holding the bun paused for a moment, and then said: "...It''s just like that, good or bad..." Before the strong man could continue to say anything, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves outside the yard, and a soldier came in. A loud voice was shouted outside the hospital: "The Protector of the Hungarian Army has arrived. Please greet him as soon as possible, as the Grand Historian!"
“Ah, Zhonglang is here...” Tai Shiming was a little surprised and quickly opened the courtyard door to welcome him.
"Haha, Zijian is exempt from courtesy!" Fei Qian came on horseback, got off his horse in front of Tai Shiming, and then helped Tai Shiming up with one hand, "I heard that Zijian''s brother was visiting, so I came to visit. If you disturb me, I still want to see Zijian. Forgive me."
When Fei Qian heard the report that an elder brother of Tai Shi Ming had entered Pingyang City, his first reaction was that he didn''t know if Tai Shi Ci was here. It would be too much to run over there in the middle of the night, so he finally endured it until dawn. Came with guards...
Taishi Ming invited Fei to sneak into the courtyard. Taishi Ming''s cousin also came forward to meet him. He bowed and said: "The Marquis of Jicheng, Taishi Ci, Taishi Ziyi, see the general!"
ha!
It is really Tai Shici!
Fei Qian smiled so hard that he quickly stepped forward to help Tai Shi Ci and looked him up and down. What a strong man he was!
Taishi Ci has an oval face, silkworm eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a long beard of about ten centimeters on his temples and chin. He has a strong body, especially his two arms, which are much larger than ordinary people. Want more…
?Hmm, but why is Taishi Ci a military lord of Jicheng?
???Isn’t Jicheng a territory belonging to Gongsun Zan?
"Ziyi is now under the banner of General Gongsun?" After the three of them sat down, Fei Qian asked impatiently. This question is so troublesome. For Gongsun Zan, it doesn''t matter if he has Zhao Yun, but he also has Taishi Ci. This matter It really exceeded Fei Qian''s expectations.
Tai Shici nodded slightly and said: "In the past, he was hated by the prefectures and counties. He traveled to Liaodong and was taken in by General Gongsun. The next year, he was awarded the title of military marquis for his merits."
"I see..." Fei Qian nodded, and then asked with some hope, "Then Ziyi is in Pingyang now, could it be..."
It’s not too far from Liaodong. Normally, even if Taishi Ci resigned and returned home, he would first go back to Donglai, Shandong. How did he end up here?
Taishi Ci paused for a moment, as if he was weighing whether he should speak or not. He turned his head and looked at Taishi Ming. Then he seemed to have made up his mind. He cupped his hands towards Fei Qian and said, "I''ll tell you the truth, I''ll tell you." General Gongsun''s order...to hold the letter and evacuate the troubled general..."
What?
Fei Qian''s heart suddenly moved when he heard this. Is there any connection between Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan of Montenegro?
What''s going on?
?So Tai Shici came to Montenegro to contact us, or to supervise the battle?
??Montenegro, what role does it play in the current situation?
How does Taishi Ci look? In history, there are really some people who are said to have beautiful beards...
There are the same words as Guan Er...
