(Thank you, my friend, the pure mistress!! Two monthly tickets for friends, book friends 160915004732303, and the monthly ticket for friends mxh11111~~)

The sun was gradually moving higher, and before I knew it, it was already noon. After having a refreshing lunch, Li Xin and his family were lying on soft chairs under the shade of the trees to take a nap. On the table were iced sour plum soup, watermelon and other foods for cooling off.

Listening to the faint crying from outside, Li Xin suddenly asked, "How are the North Korean envoys?"

A female soldier bowed and bowed: "Commander-in-Chief, the North Koreans are still kneeling, but the weather is hot and it seems that they can't bear it."

"Send some sour plum soup."

Li Xin waved.

"oh!"

The female soldier turned around and left, and within a moment, she took a group of people out of the mansion with a large bucket of iced sour plum soup.

The North Korean envoy was illuminated by the scorching sun and knelt for a whole morning. He was dizzy and his throat seemed to be about to burst out. As soon as the lid of the sour plum soup was opened, a sour and cool smell floated over, making people feel salivating and their throats squirmed.

"The Regent has ordered the North Korean envoy to quench his thirst with sour plum soup."

The female soldier said coldly.

"oh?"

The members of the envoys were overjoyed and were eager to stretch their necks.

"Thank you for the regent of the Ming Dynasty, but we are here to repent. If you don't have the regent to understand, you would rather die of thirst and starve to death. Please go back!"

But Jin Yu refused harshly.

"Lord Zuo Yizheng, drinking some water to quench thirst is nothing, right?"

A delegation member whispered.

"Shut up, we come with the determination to die, otherwise we will not be able to show sincerity. We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of being thirsty and hunger. We will endure it. The king is watching us in Seoul. If we return without success, we are all sinners from North Korea!"

Jin Yu shouted harshly.

No one said much more.

The female soldier asked someone to carry the sour plum soup back and reported it to Li Xin truthfully.

"Oh? It seems that North Koreans are quite strong!"

Liu Rushi praised.

“Haha~~”

Li Xin smiled and said, "Wait a little longer, and I'll send it to him in two hours."

Two hours later, it was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the heat on the ground accumulated to the extreme. At the hottest time of the day, many Koreans could no longer stand up, and they lay on the ground with their butts slapped, their lips chapped, and their eyes were squinting. Even the toughest Jin Gun was shaking, and the loss of water and heat made his mind gradually confused.

"Water...water..."

Someone beside him whispered.

"Ice-cold sour plum soup is here!"

"The Regent has an order and will give the Korean envoy the iced sour plum soup."

At this time, the door opened again, and a group of people carried out iced sour plum soup again.

The sour and cold smell came, and Jin Gu fell into struggle, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Come on, drink!"

A servant in the mansion already scoops of sour plum soup into a bowl and handed it over.

The North Korean envoy was afraid that Kim Go would stop him, so he hurriedly took it and poured it into his mouth.

"Ah, it's comfortable!"

"Another bowl!"

‘Oh~~’

Jin Yu sighed secretly and stopped stopping because it was useless. In his expectation, he would kneel for three days and three nights. Even if he failed, no one could say that he was not right when he returned to Seoul. However, he underestimated the heat of Nanjing in summer and overestimated the will of the delegation members.

He took the iced sour plum soup and drank it in big mouthfuls. The sour and sweet ice water moistened his thirsty throat and drove away the heat.

"Hey, aren't the North Koreans going on a hunger strike? Why are they drinking water?"

The people watching were surprised and said.

"Hmph, drinking water is not eating!"

"Not bad, drinking water is still considered a hunger strike!"

Some North Koreans defended.

After drinking iced sour plum soup, the heat was relieved and it felt much more comfortable. However, the North Koreans became hungry and more and more people were watching. They wanted to see if the North Koreans were really on a hunger strike.

The sky gradually became dark, and someone was tired of kneeling, so he simply bent his legs and sat on the ground, supported his hands with his head, and held his head with his hunger. He was so hungry that he had no strength.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

The door opened for the third time. This time, there were a group of masters carrying buckets of food out. The summer food was mainly refreshing, including sauce-flavored diced meat tofu, fried shrimp chips, cold cowpeas, pumpkin cakes, bean seedlings mixed with dried shreds, brown sugar peanut crispy glutinous rice cake, lamb skewers, and mung bean porridge.

This is from the temptation on the tip of the tongue, which makes people feel enlarged!

The North Korean envoys looked over, their cheeks kept urging, and there were circles of masters around them, all of whom were fat and big ears, and they were malicious and giggled.

The onlookers also became interested, and they all wanted to see if the North Korean envoys could withstand the temptation of delicious food.

"Lord Left Yizheng..."

The envoys looked at Jin Jie one after another.

North Korea is a barren place, and the powerful and powerful cannot eat these delicious foods. Their recipes are always sour cabbage, roasted pork belly, and fish.

"No eating!"

Jin Yu shouted sternly, but his throat couldn't help but squirm.

"Sir, can we drink some porridge? Drinking porridge is not considered eating."

Someone whispered again.

"snort!"

Jin Yu snorted.

One member couldn't help but say, "Lord Left, the king asked us to ask the regent of the Ming Dynasty to give up his hands, but we didn't want us to die. If any of us starved to death, it would be hard for the adults to explain if they returned to Seoul."

"Yes, maybe I'm taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

"My stomach is almost hungry and I can't bear it."

The people below were also sarcastic and muttered.

It was already embarrassing to kneel in front of Li Xin’s gate and be pointed at by someone. Now that I don’t even allow food to be eaten, how can I do this in the world?

The Koreans are very practical and do not blindly patriotism. The royal family came to power through coups. They were destined to have very weak control over bureaucratic aristocrats. Who can kneel at the door of Li Xin’s house?

Even though his official position is not as good as Jin Yu, and offending one or two does not have much impact, Jin Yu can't stand it even if he offended hundreds of people at once, and even starved to death. After returning to Seoul, he will definitely be attacked by political enemies.

Jin Yu stared at his subordinate kneeling behind him in a daze, as if he was in a state of anger, so he had to give in and said, "Only drink porridge, not eat vegetables, just wrap your stomach a little, you can't eat too much," he said.

"Give me a bowl, a bowl!"

Suddenly, the North Korean envoys rushed to reach out.

"Hey, I still ate!"

"Didn't you say you were on a hunger strike?"

The people around them blamed each other.

Some Koreans were dissatisfied and said, "This is drinking porridge. Can it be used as a meal?"

An old man pointed out without hesitation: "Your porridge is so thick, and your chopsticks are hard to fall in. Why don't you order to eat?"

"Easy!"

The North Korean speeded up his eating speed, ate half a bowl, and shouted, "Add some water!"

A master filled his bowl with water. He stirred it with chopsticks and said complacently: "Look, is it thinner? Who dares to say that the chopsticks are not falling down?"

"this……"

The onlookers looked at each other. This trick is amazing. The Koreans are not stupid. Is it really appropriate to just blatantly stealing bells? Or are we Ming people fools?

Jin Yu also felt it was not suitable, and his face slightly darkened.

A master smiled and asked, "Do you want some pickles?"

The North Korean envoy was a little embarrassed. Drinking porridge was already too much. Then eat pickles?

The master scooped out a small spoon and laughed: "Drinking porridge is not about eating, pickles are not vegetables, it's just supplementing some salt. You sweat a lot in summer, so how can you not eat some salty ones?"

"Then...well, thank you!"

North Koreans think about it, drinking porridge is not considered eating, so how can pickles be considered vegetables?

Adding spoonfuls of pickled vegetables to the bowl is the most popular sour radish and pickled cucumbers for Koreans. They are sour and salty, and they are crispy when they bite their mouths. They are all delicious with mung bean and white rice porridge.
